The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 337 Xiahou Dun comes to Jiangling again, the Iron Law is not for sale

Luo Yuan sneered, "He is just trying to curry favor with the powerful. I am a senior official of Jiangling, and I am not worthy of being looked down upon by an envoy of his."

Luo Yuan waved his hand and the warriors at the door went to kill. He turned around and said to Xu Shu, "Let's be more straightforward in the future. If we let him go back, he will definitely slander Jiang Ling. The trouble in the future will only get bigger and bigger. It's better to kill him first. Why should I care about Hua Xin?"

Xu Shu couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he was moved in his heart. This was something he had not expected.

If he doesn't dare to kill others when being bullied, he will probably be gossiped about in the future.

Wait a moment, Hua Xin’s head will be delivered!
Hua Xin stared with his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't close his eyes at all, as if he couldn't believe it at all.

Luo Yuan felt it was very ugly and had it put into a box and sent to Xiangyang.

Xu Shu was actually embarrassed that a person was gone like that.

He actually felt it was a pity when someone died, and it was actually that serious.

Luo Yuan didn't say anything. Xu Shu was just being pretentious. Just figure it out.

When Hua Xin's head was sent to Xiangyang, Xiahou Dun was stunned, then extremely angry. He immediately brought people to settle accounts with Luo Yuan.

When they arrived in Jiangling, Xiahou Dun angrily rushed into the military headquarters and asked Luo Yuan after seeing him: "Why did you kill him?"

"..."

Luo Yuan asked the soldiers who were chasing Xiahou Dun to leave, then looked at Xiahou Dun and said with a smile: "Brother, you don't like Hua Xin, so you let him come to see me alone, isn't it just so that I can kill him? Why are you pretending with me now?"

"I asked you to teach him a lesson, not to kill him!"

"I taught him a lesson, brother, what are you dissatisfied with?"

When he heard that Hua Xin had come, Luo Yuan immediately understood that he must have come for Liu Bei. However, Xiahou Dun was the one in charge of Xiangyang, and since such a big matter as Guan Yu and Liu Bei was concerned, it should be Xiahou Dun who came to talk to him in person.

How can a Hua Xin be qualified to talk about such things?

Xiahou Dun knew that his opponent would not listen to him, so he asked Hua Xin to come, which must have a deeper meaning.

'

Xiahou Dun sighed and shook his head: "Forget it, if he's dead, he's dead. You killed him, so you have to pay compensation, right? Liu Bei, give it to me?"

"Liu Bei has already released me. Brother, you are too late."

Xiahou Dun had already thought of replacing Liu Bei with Hua Xin when he came.

If he had asked Luo Yuan directly for Liu Bei, Luo Yuan would have ignored him. Now that he has killed one of his own, doesn't he have a reason?

Xiahou Dun didn't believe it: "Liu Bei is a great man, why did you let him go? Don't joke!"

"If I really let him go, Guan Yu came to rescue Liu Bei. I have a friendship with Guan Yu. How can I not let him go? Besides, I expected that you would come to me for Liu Bei. I have a teacher-student relationship with Kong Ming, and it is not good to offend Kong Ming. How can I hold such a hot potato in my hands? Of course I let him go!" Luo Yuan looked at Xiahou Dun with a smile: "I destroyed Liu Bei's 30,000 troops in one battle. Isn't it enough to help you? Don't be greedy!"

Xiahou Dun was helpless: "How can 30,000 troops compare with Liu Bei? He will have many troops in the future. Now I think Hua Xin's death was so unjust. What do you think, Gongqi?"

What do you say!
What else can you do if the person is dead?

Luo Yuan was speechless. Xiahou Dun wanted to blackmail him again. Did he think he was a good man?

Luo Yuan said: "I'm poor, forget it. I won't agree to anything you ask for. Besides, you are the mastermind in killing Hua Xin and I am at most an assistant. Did I kill him? Did you kill him? If you hadn't plotted against him, would he have come to me to die?"

We are all scumbags, don't try to use this to gain benefits.

No, no!
Xiahou Dun took a fancy to Jiangling's farm tools, but those were Jiangling's important tools, and Luo Yuan was unwilling to export them. Although Luo Yuan gave him the blueprints, the farm tools made according to the blueprints were no match for Luo Yuan's.

I felt like I was being controlled by Luo Yuan.

"It was you who killed him, what does it have to do with me!' Are you thinking this?

Luo Yuan crossed his legs and looked at Xiahou Dun seriously. "He is from Cao Zhi's side, right? He has a good relationship with the nobles, right? You don't get along with him, right? I know you support Cao Pi, but you just don't show it on weekdays. This man is Meng De's confidant, and he must have said a lot of bad things about Cao Pi."

Luo Yuan laughed: "Hua Xin is a selfish person who is good at scheming, which is in conflict with your character. You should stop being a good person now. Everyone knows you!"

Xiahou Dun's mouth twitched. "Okay, stop talking. It's not gentlemanly to speak ill of a dead person behind his back. I have to explain this to the Prime Minister. What do you say now?"

"Just say I killed him!"

"Wouldn't that make the Prime Minister misunderstand you? It would be better to say that you were killed by bandits."

Anyway, the person is dead, so you can say whatever you want.

"There are no bandits in Jiangling!"

"There are some in Jingzhou. Otherwise, you can say that Liu Bei was good at killing Hua Xin. He was unhappy with your defeat and ordered Zhang Fei to kill Hua Xin."

Very reasonable, isn’t it!

It is only natural that Cao Cao's men died at the hands of Liu Bei's men.

Xiahou Dun looked at Luo Yuan and said, "The Prime Minister may not believe it, but that doesn't matter. It's just an excuse. If you give the Prime Minister a little benefit, I will help you with this matter!"

'

"You want farm tools?"

"I need steel. I asked the craftsmen to make farm tools according to the blueprint, but iron is not enough. Then I remembered that your farm tools are made of good steel. I need to practice the method of making steel."

Luo Yuan glared and said, "You are smart, but how dare you ask for that thing!"
"Impossible. The steelmaking method is a secret technique of Jiangling. I won't sell it to you even if you pay me, let alone give it to you." Luo Yuan is not crazy. You are dreaming if you want to exchange Hua Xin for the steelmaking method of blowing dust.

Xiahou Dun was overjoyed. "Haha, you really have a way to make steel. I was just skeptical, but I didn't expect it to be true!"

Not surprised at all, Jiangling already has it!

Luo Yuan and the Jiangdong gentry are cooperating. There are many iron mines in Jiangdong, especially in Jiangxi, where iron and nickel ores are abundant. Luo Yuan and the Jiangdong gentry purchase large quantities.

The caves used to fire porcelain in Jiangling can be transformed into blast furnaces for making steel. He himself knows clearly which caves are used for making iron and which are used for firing porcelain.

But outsiders can't tell the difference, and they think the kiln is a place for firing porcelain.

There is coal and iron in the north. If Cao Cao gets the dust-blowing method, what can we do?
It's possible to play it, but it's too easy for Cao Cao.

Hua Xin is just a nobody, how can he compare to the dust blowing method? Cao Cao should just slowly practice the method of tempering steel.

In fact, steel forging at that time was not backward at all, and Cao Cao also knew the methods of steel speculation!

It's just that the production is insufficient!

It's different here in Jiangling. There is a cotton stone mine in the local area that makes use of water conservancy. Luo Yuan didn't know what to do with it at first, but when he was making farm tools, he saw craftsmen frying steel!

Luo Yuan realized that it was cotton stone. It was resistant to high temperatures. Later generations used it to make crucibles and fireproof building materials. It was also very useful for burning steel.

A pot of steel weighing several thousand kilograms can be directly formed, which greatly improves efficiency.

However, it is only at the level of workshops in later generations, and is still far from the daily production of one million tons. But it has greatly made up for the gap in steel in Jiangling. That amount of steel is not enough to make farm tools, and there is not enough strength to replace the army with steel weapons.

How can you tell Cao Cao the method when you are in the same situation yourself?
Xiahou Dun is dreaming.
