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

Chapter 378: Jiangdong nobles feel wronged, Zhuge Liang adds fuel to the fire

Wen Pin looked at everyone and said, "This is not a simple matter. The Lord has his own considerations. You don't have to worry."

Doesn't this mean that I don't care?
The gentry in Jingzhou were suddenly helpless. Cao Cao was too scary, and if Luo Yuan was not willing to step forward, they felt that there was really nothing they could do.

"Your Excellency is Liu Cong's fake father. How can you sit back and watch this happen in Jiangling?"

It's not just the Jingzhou nobles who are embarrassed, but also Jiangling. Doesn't Luo Yuan care about his own face?
"We don't ask for much. Is it okay as long as Prime Minister Cao comes forward?"

"Is the reputation of the Jingzhou nobles so unimportant?"

Cao Cao went too far, the gentry were very angry!

Everyone has to have some dignity. It is true that Madam Cai is a woman. If she were an ordinary woman, no one would care. But she is not. She is Liu Biao’s daughter-in-law and nominally the mistress of Jingzhou.

To disrespect Mrs. Cai is to disrespect their aristocratic family.

They haven't even surrendered to Cao Cao yet, but Cao Cao has already trampled on their dignity. Once they surrender, how can Cao Cao care about them?

They are causing trouble now not only to embarrass Cao Cao, but also for their own face.

"If you are unwilling to come forward for this matter, we will have to do it ourselves!"

"Wen Pinru is also from a noble family in Jingzhou. Don't you feel ashamed?"

"You are also a general of Jingzhou!"

After everyone looked at each other, they decided to let Wen Pin come forward.

Wen Pin looked at these people and understood. Just as his lord had said, this matter was not that simple.

These people really want to make a name for themselves!

Let himself lead the troops to attack Cao Cao?
Thinking about it, Wen Pin felt a chill down his spine. His lord was right. This matter had a profound connotation and there must be an evil spirit involved.

'

These people have no ability themselves, so they rely on him?
If I lead my troops into Jiangling, my lord will kill me to appease Cao Cao's anger.

He is just a tool!

These people have good ideas.

Wen Pin saw that everyone had said almost everything, so he said, "I trust the Lord and will not get involved in this matter. Also, don't come to me in the future. I have to guard the Yangtze River Camp. Military affairs are urgent, so I'll leave first."

Not wanting to fall out with these people right away, Wen Pin chose to leave immediately!
Those people from the noble families would never allow this and quickly stopped Wen Pin.

"What do you mean? Don't you want to take care of this matter? Wen Pin, Liu Jingzhou has never treated you unfairly, and this is how you repay Liu Jingzhou."

Liu Biao was naturally good to Wen Pin and made him the general of Jingzhou, which was considered a favor to him.

"You have surrendered to Luo Yuan, and we won't say anything to you. It's just a matter of circumstances. But now Liu Jingzhou's wife is being bullied. You were the first to receive Liu Jingzhou's kindness. How can you remain indifferent?"

"We have heard that Cao Cao has bullied Jingzhou and everyone is angry. Why are you indifferent? Do you think this has nothing to do with you? How can a man be ungrateful? How can you gain a foothold in the world in the future? How can you face Liu Jingzhou in the underworld?"

Wen Pin felt very responsible. What these people said was right. He also hated Cao Cao. He thought that he was really unworthy of being the lord and had no sense of self-interest or shame at all.

But the lord also explained the reason clearly.

Cao Cao was just going with the flow, the mastermind was Cheng Yu, and even Kong Ming and Zhou Yu were involved!

Can the turbulent current in Jiangling be blamed on Cao Cao?
Wen Pin looked at the crowd. These people might not know the inside story, but it is certain that some of them have had contact with Kong Ming or Zhou Yu.

"I also think Cao Cao is overdoing it, but he is the prime minister. If Cai Mao and Zhang Yun hadn't taken the initiative, Cao Cao wouldn't have had a chance." Wen Pin lowered his voice, "Among them, Cheng Yu was the one who came up with the plan. He wanted to see how everyone in Jingzhou would react."

What do you mean?
The group of people were silent for a moment, but they reacted immediately.

'

If they were not convinced, it would mean that they had no intention of submitting to Cao Cao. But if they were convinced, they would not cause trouble, but they would naturally be looked down upon by people all over the world.

"Cheng Yu? What does he want to do? He is testing us like this. He has bad intentions." "He wants us, the Jinzhou nobles, to lose face."

"If this is the case, how can we face the world in the future?"

Everyone hated Cheng Yu when they thought about it. If they endured it and defected to Cao Cao in the future, who would look at them in the eye? Others would only say that the Jingzhou gentry were spineless.

Who would care about them when they don't even dare to fight back after being bullied like this?

How will their family disciples be able to survive in the future?

I rub!

Cheng Yu is so abominable.

"Wen Pin, what do you think we should do in this case?"

Everyone is looking to Wen Pin, hoping that he can step forward. If they don't deal with Cao Cao, is it okay to deal with Cheng Yu?

Wen Pin said: "I have a poem for you to remember."

He read it once, and the gentry had good memories and remembered it after just one reading. Some of them had heard Cao Zhi's poems a long time ago.

Wen Pin said: "Now that the three parties have come together, the lord is also in a dilemma, but this poem has a deep meaning. You should spread it and tell others that Cheng Yu mentioned it in front of Cao Cao."

"Will this help?"

Can a poem kill people?
People didn't quite believe it. They thought reciting poetry was useless and it would be better to use military force. Wen Pin just had to lead his men to fight.

"Just do as you are told."

He didn't know whether it was useful or not, but since this was Luo Yuan's instruction, he just had to do it.

Could these people be smarter than the lord?
Wen Pin didn't say much, then went to the military camp and never came back.

When the gentry in Jingzhou saw this, they realized there was no other way and could only try Wen Pin's method. Immediately, the Bronze Sparrow Tower Fu spread throughout Jiangling.

After hearing this, Kong Ming smiled and said to Liu Bei: "My lord, Gong Qi has the intention to kill Cheng Yu, we should add fuel to the flames!"

As soon as Kong Ming heard about the Bronze Sparrow Tower Ode, he understood that Luo Yuan was angry.

Liu Bei was still confused: "Ah... why did the military advisor say that?"

"The Ode to the Bronze Sparrow Tower was written by Cao Zhi, and the names of the two Qiao sisters are mentioned in it. Zhou Lang will definitely not let it go. This is a plan to kill Lan Tunhu. If Zhou Lang gets angry, Cao Cao will be in trouble."

Liu Bei immediately understood and asked happily, "Will Jiangdong go to war with Cao Cao?"

For example, assassinating Cao Cao or something.

If Cao Cao died, wouldn’t I have a chance?

Kong Ming told Liu Bei to be patient and that he would take care of everything. It would be a shame not to take advantage of such a good opportunity.

It didn't take long for word to spread among the people that Cheng Yu and Cao Cao recited the "Bronze Sparrow Tower Ode", saying that the two Qiao sisters from Jiangdong were both beautiful women.

Some people even said that Cao Cao went south just for the two Qiao sisters, intending to take them away and put them in the Bronze Sparrow Tower for his own entertainment.

Luo Yuan did not forbid it, and the gossip about Jiang Lin spread far and wide, becoming more and more intense.

When Zhou Yu heard this, he was furious!

Cao Cao was too bold. Did he really think that the people in Jiangdong were dead?

Sun Quan was also angry, because Da Qiao was his sister-in-law. But Lu Su felt that something was wrong. How did the rumor spread?

Lu Su asked Sun Quan and Zhou Yu to restrain themselves: "Jiangling is Gongqi's place. Such rumors should be stopped by Gongqi. I will go find him."
