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

Chapter 340 Sima Yi refutes everyone, Boss Cao changes his mind
In Yecheng, Cao Cao received a letter from Xiahou Dun and was so angry that his face twitched.

Damn it, Luo Yuan is such a bastard!

Can't you just save your own face and not kill Hua Xin?
Just cut it off?
He really doesn't give himself any face at all.

Cao Cao was very angry. He had never given Cao Cao face before. The letter that Xiahou Dun wrote to Cao Cao was also very interesting. The main responsibility lay with Luo Yuan. Luo Yuan said it himself: just kill him and there is no need to care.

In short, Hua Xin offended Luo Yuan and was killed. He went to Jiangling but was late in the game and was unable to stop Luo Yuan from killing Hua Xin. Unfortunately, he failed to rescue him!
Now he is in Jiangling representing Cao family to ask Luo Yuan for an explanation. Then Xiahou Dun secretly stated in a letter that Luo Yuan knows how to make steel and should have a lot of steel in his hands, so he asked Boss Cao!

What should I do now? I'm waiting for your instructions and I'm very anxious.

Cao Cao was very angry and his face was gloomy. He knew that Hua Xin was not a good person, but he was still capable. He was the most handy lackey under his command and would bite anyone he told to bite.

Every big boss needs someone like this around him.

If you don't like Hua Xin, you can just tell him to get lost. Why kill him?

Cao Cao angrily said to Chen Lin: "Luo Yuan really didn't give me face. He killed Hua Ziyu so hastily. I am really angry to death."

Chen Lin was shocked!

Hua Xin is dead?

Sima Yi and others are stupid, Luo Gongqi is so powerful.

Jia Xu smiled slightly. Hua Xin was doomed to die if he went to Jiangling. This was a normal action by Luo Yuan.

He is not Hua Xin either. This person has no sense of right and wrong. He takes Cao Cao as his foundation and is willing to do whatever Cao wants, regardless of whether it is moral or not.

The other important officials of the Cao family were all very surprised, and Yang Xiu was completely confused, feeling as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit.

"Lord Luo Yuan killed my ministers, which is a provocation. We should attack him."

"My lord, you must attack Jiangling, otherwise we will lose face and damage your reputation!"

Sima Yi glanced at Jia Xu, who shook his head slightly.

Those who wanted to take the opportunity to declare war on Luo Yuan were all the nobles in Yecheng. These people had been beaten by Luo Yuan and Cao Jie and his wife, and they had been holding a lot of anger in their stomach for a long time. Naturally, they would not miss the chance now.

What's more, these people are jealous of Jiangling's good business.

Once Jiangling is occupied, Cao Cao will have to give up some benefits to appease them. Boss Cao will take the biggest share, and they can get rich by drinking a little bit of the soup, right?

Who wouldn't want Jiangling's porcelain, finished medicines, and white paper? But now they are all controlled by Luo Yuan, and they can't get involved at all.

Cao Cao frowned and suddenly laughed: "You are all angry, I am angry too, but Luo Yuan is a famous scholar in the world, how can we ask for trouble?"

Are you crazy or am I crazy?
If you want to hit Luo Yuan, think about it before taking any action!
If Luo Yuan was so easy to defeat, Sun Quan would have killed him long ago.

Besides, he was his son-in-law. Although it was a pity that Hua Xin died, Luo Yuan was better!
Cao Cao also felt a little regretful. He didn't expect that these aristocratic ministers actually wanted to attack Luo Yuan?

If I had known this I wouldn’t be angry!

"My lord, Luo Yuan's killing of Hua Ziyu is really wrong. If you don't take action, I'm afraid the world will be disappointed. Luo Gongqi has repeatedly claimed that he is a traitor to the Han Dynasty. If you, as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, don't punish him, I'm afraid... it will damage the dignity of the Han Dynasty."

Yang Xiu said hurriedly, "My lord, can you ask the emperor to issue an edict and let Liu Bei and Sun Quan attack Jiangling? Now King Han Xuan is in Changsha, and he has a grudge against Luo Yuan. If we attack from three directions, we should be able to break Jiangling. If we can't break it, Jiangling will be in danger and will definitely ask for help from my lord. Then won't he rely on us?"

"I think this is a good idea. Our army is still preparing. We should mobilize Jiangdong and Liu Bei first to consume their troops. It is like sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight. It will be much more convenient when the northern army moves south!"

This is a good idea!
It's not to destroy Luo Yuan, but it can consume Liu Bei and Jiangdong's troops, so it's worth a try. But Cao Cao is still worried, seeing that he is used to listening to everyone's opinions.

Seeing that Sima Yi didn't say anything, he asked, "What do you think, Zhongda?"

Sima Yi thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid that if we return empty-handed, Luo Yuan will be angry!"

When everyone saw that Sima Yi had a different opinion from them, they became angry!

Sima Zhongda, your mother is also a nobleman. Can't you see that Boss Cao is moved?
Sima Yi said, "My lord, Luo Yuan is a famous scholar in the world, and he is well-versed in military and political affairs. It will be beneficial for us to make friends with him. But if we talk to everyone about attacking Jiangling, are you sure about it?"

"Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Wen Pin, Zhang Ying, and Xiong Ying are all brave generals. Lord Luo's use of troops is even more cunning and treacherous. Unless the lord goes in person, who else can match them?"

Isn't it!

Boss Cao was shocked. Unless he fought Luo Yuan himself, no one under his command could withstand Luo Yuan.

Sima Yi added: "Gongqi and Kongming are teacher and student, and their friendship is deep. Liu Bei may not listen to you. If our army attacks Jiangling, Gongqi and Kongming will unite. When they join forces with Jiangdong, Gongqi will go north to shake Xiangyang and attack Nanjun to shake Sanfu. Our army will be in danger."

Boss Cao was still thinking about this possibility, and he became unhappy with Yang Xiu and other aristocratic officials.

Cao Cao was clearly tempted, but now he hesitated after hearing Sima Yi's words.

"Sima Zhongda is exaggerating. Liu Bei and Luo Yuan just had a fight and have a deep grudge against each other. How could he not want revenge? As long as the emperor's decree arrives, Liu Bei will definitely be willing to attack."

"Liu Bei lost, and he himself was captured by Luo Yuan."

The result of the Battle of Baihe had already reached Yecheng. The Jiangling Army became famous in this battle, and Sima Yi silenced these people with just one sentence.

Liu Bei was captured by Luo Yuan this time, he lost so badly!

Would the Cao army be so confident? And the actual combat effectiveness of the Jiangling army is still a mystery to the Cao family.

After all, Liu Bei was not willing to tell outsiders about the battle. More soldiers died, and the soldiers who survived the battle were mentally unstable later.

The Cao family was unable to obtain more detailed battle reports, but only knew that Liu Bei had lost miserably.

Sima Yi said leisurely: "Who among you dares to say that he can beat Luo Yuan? Don't play with the lives of our soldiers casually."

The aristocratic officials were speechless, and Cao Cao nodded. He had no idea what the Jiangling army was like, and he didn't want to give it a try.

Seeing that Jia Xu hadn't said anything, Cao Cao left for a while, leaving Jia Xu behind and asked, "What do you think Wenhe should do?"

Jia Xu said: "Prime Minister, our army is not bigger than Gongqi's, so why not just take some benefits? If Gongqi didn't have the confidence, how could he kill Hua Xin? If he killed Hua Xin, it means he is not afraid of going to war. Maybe he is ready to make a move now!"

"Gong Qi is waiting for me to beat him?"

"If you defeat our army, Gongqi won't have to worry about us attacking Jiangling from behind, and can focus on dealing with Han Xuan." Jia Xu said with a smile, "I'm afraid that if our army moves, Jingzhou and Xiangyang will fall into his hands, and my northern army will never be able to enter Jingzhou again, so just ask for some benefits. I think Xiahou means the same thing!"

Cao Cao took Xiahou Dun's letter and handed it to Jia Xu: "Wenhe is profound, Xiahou is now in Jiangling"

Cao Cao decided to maintain a cooperative relationship with Luo Yuan. If he listened to those aristocratic families, they would probably end up harming him.

Thinking about Luo Yuan's style, he might be preparing to trick me.
