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

Chapter 377: Wen Pin wants to take the lead, Luo Gongqi explains the reason
"Lord!"

Luo Yuan had just made the arrangements and Xu Shu had just left when Wen Pin arrived.

Luo Yuan was stunned. Could something have happened in the Yangtze River? Wen Pin seldom came to the Military Commandery, where he was in charge of the Yangtze River defense, and was usually in the navy camp.

"But there is military intelligence on the Yangtze River?" Luo Yuan asked hurriedly. It would be terrible if something happened to the Yangtze River at this time.

Is it Jiangdong or someone else?

Anyone who dares to cause trouble in Jiangling at this time must be eliminated, needless to say.

Wen Pin shook his head: "There is nothing wrong with the Yangtze River. I came here for Madam Cai."

Luo Yuan was stunned. Wen Pin knew about Madam Cai? The news spread really fast. If Wen Pin knew about it, then many people must know about it.

It’s not easy to cover up.

Luo Yuan couldn't help but feel annoyed, Cheng Yu is such a bastard!

In fact, we still have to blame Cao Cao. He is simply sick and has no shame as a leader.

Luo Yuan asked Wen Pin to sit down and said embarrassedly: "In this matter, I failed to protect Madam Cai."

Wen Pin was very angry. Not only him, but also the gentry in Jingzhou. The local gentry had deep feelings for Liu Biao. Although Liu Biao was dead, Madam Cai was still Liu Biao's widow after all.

Cao Cao, who represented the face of Jingzhou, actually forcibly took Mrs. Cai, which was a slap in the face of the scholars of Jingzhou.

Although Jingzhou was willing to submit to Cao Cao, they did not even receive the respect they deserved, which made them feel it was not worth it.

What Cao Cao insulted was not Mrs. Cai, but the entire Jingzhou.

This is what Wen Pin meant. Now the gentry in Jingzhou hope that Cao Cao will give an explanation, otherwise they will be furious.

Wen Pin saw that Luo Yuan was expressing their dissatisfaction.

Luo Yuan understood. Damn, what Lao Cao did had such a bad impact!
The gentry have to have dignity, and he doesn't give the gentry of Jingzhou any face at all.

"Now those nobles are asking me to talk it out with the lord. If Cao Cao doesn't give an explanation, he will never let this matter go."

Cao Cao, look, what a good thing you have done.

Luo Yuan smiled bitterly. This was the consequence of not being able to control one's crotch. "Just be patient. This matter has little to do with Cao Cao."

"What? My Lord, why do you say that?"

Wen Pin didn't believe it at all and looked at Luo Yuan with a little disappointment. He was speaking for Cao Cao and thought Luo Yuan would uphold justice.

Wen Pin was very angry. Luo Yuan was not that kind of person.

Jiang Ling has always believed in fairness.

Is it different when it comes to Cao Cao?

Wen Pin couldn't help but say: "My lord, you are making excuses for Cao Cao because he is your father-in-law."

"What are you talking about? Cao Cao did it, so it was him. But there are still some details you don't understand." Luo Yuan said, "It is true that Meng De took Madam Cai by force. I am also angry, but Cheng Yu is also trying to instigate. If it weren't for him, I would have let Madam Cai and Wen Ji be together. Meng De would have known what I meant and would have given me face.'" Cheng Yu gave Meng De advice, which led to Madam Cai falling into the trap. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun might have had such thoughts, so Meng De cannot be blamed alone.

Luo Yuan said seriously: "Meng De was wrong, but he was just following the trend. He was not the mastermind. Cheng Yu and I had a grudge, and Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and Meng De flirted with each other, which led to Madam Cai being bullied. How can Meng De be blamed alone? Many people participated in Madam Cai's affairs and they all made mistakes."

Wen Pin was stunned. He really had no idea what was going on. He didn't expect it to be so complicated.

"I am already dealing with it now. First, we must not let this matter become public. Compared with the three-party meeting, this is a small matter. Although Madam Cai is wronged, there are many people in the world who have been wronged. Second, we must prevent the gentry from causing trouble and allowing Liu Bei and Sun Quan to benefit." Luo Yuan said that he understood the dissatisfaction of the gentry in Jingzhou, but this was not the way they should do things.

Just hold Cao Cao accountable?
If you have the ability, do it yourself and see if Cao Cao will give you face. Since he wants you to come forward, you have to do it at your own pace.

Wen Pin was one of his own, so Luo Yuan said more: "The gentry of Jingzhou are dissatisfied. Is there no other reason behind this? You are a general, and you are simple-minded and don't know the danger. Those people want to drag Jiangling into the water, so that they can act more conveniently."

Wen Ping suddenly felt guilty, thinking that this matter might not be as simple as he thought.

That is to say, Luo Yuan was willing to tell him so clearly. He couldn't help but wonder if he was being used. Did the Jingzhou gentry really want to make things difficult for Cao Cao just for Madam Cai?
Do you have any other ideas?

"My Lord, do you mean that there are still people seeking profit?"

"Well, you think Kong Ming and Zhou Lang are dead. They are both top talents in the world. If they stir up the nobles' dissatisfaction with Cao Cao, it will destroy the situation of Jingzhou joining Cao Cao. I am the landlord of Jiangling and need to be fair. Cao Cao bullied Madam Cai. If I handle it improperly, I will lose my credibility with the world. Meng Dezhi's matter implicates not only himself, but also Jiangling."

Luo Yuan said directly: "You are a general of our army, holding the military power of the Yangtze River. If you are dissatisfied and want to lead your troops to attack Cao Cao, who can stop you? Should I kill you or let you go in the future?"

Wen Pin broke out in a cold sweat: "How dare I tamper with the military power? My lord has misunderstood!"

"Of course you don't dare and can't do it, but Wen Pin, you are from Jingzhou, so you are in the middle of the situation. There must be something you can't see. If you don't do it, Kong Ming won't force you to do it, and Zhou Lang won't plot to murder you? I believe you, but once something like this happens, I will either kill you or not. If I kill you, Jiangling will lose a great general. If I don't kill you, I will be the first to break the military regulations of Jiangling." Luo Yuan said, "Then I will be the one who will have a hard time, so be careful about this kind of thing!"

Wen Pin nodded his head and said: "I thought it was too simple. If it weren't for what the lord said, I would be dead. I will go back now and guard the camp strictly and never leave."

Luo Yuan smiled and said, "That's not necessary, but you have to be careful with the military token. Without my order, don't obey the order from the Military Command Office."

Luo Yuan whispered in Wen Pin's ear: "If I mobilize troops, the person who mobilizes them must know this. If he doesn't know, he will be killed on the spot.'

"I've got it in mind, but will anyone really mess up my lord's orders?"

"It's just in case."

Luo Yuan thought to himself that Kong Ming and Zhou Yu were both in Jiangling, and those two smart guys would not easily let go of this opportunity.

After thinking for a while, he said, "You have an old relationship with the nobles of Jingzhou. Tell them a poem written by Cao Zhi, which Cheng Yucheng and Cao Cao have recited."

Wen Pin didn't know what Luo Yuan wanted to do, and didn't dare to ask more.

Wen Pin went back immediately, as the nobles of Jingzhou were waiting for him.

"How about it, Your Excellency, are you willing to stand up for Jingzhou?"

The gentry in Jingzhou were very anxious. Cao Cao was not someone that ordinary people could deal with. If they hadn't felt really humiliated by being bullied this time, they would not have been willing to offend Cao Cao.

Now it depends on whether Luo Yuan is willing to stand up for Jingzhou.
