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

Chapter 387: Liu Huangshu arrives a step late, Cao Cao is furious

Liu Bei was almost about to curse, asking him to kneel down to Cao Cao?
How is that possible!

The Han people performed the ritual of kneeling and kowtow only to the emperor. As a minister of the Han Dynasty and a member of the royal family, how could he kneel and kowtow to Cao Cao?

A bow is enough.

But after hearing what Kong Ming said next, Liu Bei thought it was an option.

By kneeling down to Cao Cao for the sake of the emperor, he could win fame, but it would be difficult for Cao Cao.

I'll kneel down for you and see how you handle it.

Liu Bei immediately took his people to ask for an audience with Cao Cao, but when they arrived at the inn, he saw someone already kneeling there.

It turned out to be Sun Quan!
Sun Quan had a sincere look on his face and a mournful voice, and he looked like he would do anything to get what he wanted.

Don't give me face, I would rather die than let the emperor come to Jiangling.

The gentry outside the inn all nodded in satisfaction to Sun Quan.

"The Marquis of Wu is a man of integrity, loyalty and bravery. The Han Dynasty is lucky to kneel before the emperor."

"As long as the Han Dynasty has the Marquis of Wu, it will never be destroyed."

"The Marquis of Wu is truly a middle-class person in the country."

The nobles all over the world spoke highly of Sun Quan. They said that this was what the Marquis of Jiangdong Wu wanted. He was a minister who really dared to step forward when the emperor needed help. Only such a minister was a true minister of the Han Dynasty.

He is a role model for ministers.

Liu Bei regretted for a moment that he came too late and his chance to show off was snatched away by Sun Quan. If he had not hesitated, he would have come earlier.

There was no other way now, so Liu Bei ran away without saying a word and knelt down like Sun Quan, starting to get traffic.

"Bei, I beg the Prime Minister to allow the emperor to come to Jiangling. If the emperor can come, it will be a blessing for the country and the people. The Prime Minister is shouting Prime Minister, which will surely understand our hearts. I only hope that the world will come to Jiangling, and I am willing to submit."

Liu Bei's words shocked the world.

"Uncle Huang is kind and righteous!"

"The emperor's uncle is truly a man of great righteousness and benevolence for the country."

Liu Bei felt secretly happy as he listened to the voices around him. He lowered his head slightly and began to cry.

Sun Quan on the side had a murderous look in his eyes. Liu Bei, the big-eared thief, actually stole his limelight.

Willing to submit.

How difficult is your game?

I don't believe you damn well.

But it was useless for him not to believe it, because the nobles all over the world believed it and everyone praised Liu Bei.

Liu Bei has played such a big game, what should I do?
If you don't follow, you will be looked down upon and despised.

Sun Quan hurriedly said loudly: "Jiangdong is willing to obey the emperor's orders. The emperor has come to Jiangling, and the world will be at peace. I only hope that the prime minister will consider it."

Boss Cao, if you don't agree, the world will be in chaos and you will be a sinner.

Liu Bei was stunned. Sun's move was really clever. But he had no trump card left and could do nothing this time.

Liu Bei didn't say anything at the moment, and knelt at the entrance of the inn with Sun Quan.

In the inn!
Cao Cao leaned back on the bed and cursed: "Sun Quan is a rat, Liu Bei is a hypocrite, and he is forcing me like this. He is trying to make me do something unkind and unjust."

Crisis, very dangerous.

This was a huge political crisis for Cao Cao. If the nobles in the world became alienated from him, what would he do in the future?
Unexpectedly, as soon as he pretended to be sick, Liu Bei and Sun Quan actually jumped out!

"Wenhe, what should we do now?" Cao Cao's face was gloomy. He regretted not killing Liu Bei in Xuchang that day. Later, when he captured Lu Bu, he also had the ability to kill Liu Bei. Otherwise, there would be no Liu Bei today.

Jia Xu smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, now it seems that we have no choice but to ask the emperor to come to Jiangling, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Although the Han Dynasty was no longer in power, the gentry still relied on its ways.

"But I..."

Distressed!

Cao Cao felt uncomfortable just thinking about it. He didn't get any benefit at all.

Seeing Cao Cao's hesitation, Jia Xu knew that Cao Cao needed a way out: "Why don't you ask Gong Qi to come over and ask him?"

Cao Cao nodded immediately and sent someone to find Luo Yuan through the back door.

Luo Yuan naturally came to see Cao Cao, and Kong Ming played the game beautifully.

As for Sun Quan kneeling down to Cao Cao, it must have been Pang Tong who was behind it.

This time, Fat Head got ahead of Kong Ming.

Cao Cao was furious when he saw Luo Yuan: "You are the one who caused this trouble. Now Liu Bei and Sun Quan are forcing me to do this. I really want to kill them. What do you have to say?"

Luo Yuan doesn’t care whether Cao Cao is angry or not. You will thank me in the future.

"Munde."

"I am your father-in-law."

"Okay, father-in-law, Meng De, just ask the emperor to come to Jiangling. Don't be stubborn. Kong Ming still has a backup plan. Now it's just Liu Bei and Sun Quan. Next will be your old ministers of the Han Dynasty and the northern nobles. If those people kneel down to you again, can you bear it? Outsiders will know at a glance that the northern nobles are not on the same page with you. The Cao family may be worried about splitting up."

Luo Yuan picked up the teapot, poured a cup, and looked at Cao Cao with a smile.

Cao Cao was as frightened as a little rabbit!
and also!

"How dare you do that?"

"You don't believe it?" Luo Yuan said, "Forget it. Just wait and see. There must be more. Let me tell you what I think. The emperor is actually of no use to you. You use the emperor to control the princes. Who among the princes in the world will listen to you now? Everyone knows what's going on. After all, Yuan Shao is dead. The emperor is just a symbol."

"How can you be disrespectful to the emperor?"

Are you telling me this?

Luo Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "I am a rebel, why should I respect the emperor?"

Jia Xu hurriedly said: "Gongqi, don't talk nonsense, you are the Sima of Han."

"Really? Then Meng De, hand over your troops. Are you willing? If you don't, I, the Han Sima, will be nothing more than a decoration?" Luo Yuan said, "Let's not talk about that. The emperor is just a pet to you. You have raised one before, and I want to raise one too. Let him come to Jiangling. I will let the emperor make you a king and become a formal vassal. Following the example of the Warring States Period, you will establish the Wei Kingdom in the north. In the future, the vassal states will also annex each other and you won't need the emperor to hold you hostage to control the vassal states."

After that, Luo Yuan looked at Cao Cao and said, "Meng De, you have a bad reputation for holding the emperor hostage to control the princes. You managed the north to restore the Han Dynasty, resisted foreign invaders, and protected the Central Plains. You were frugal and honest, opened up settlements to support the people, and lived a simple life. Only your love of beautiful women was criticized, but your flaws did not outweigh your merits. You should have been a meritorious official of the Han Dynasty. Why do people in the world regard you as a traitor to the Han Dynasty? It is probably because of this reason."

"Dong Zhao's advice to you was useful back then, but it is outdated today. Invite the emperor to Jiangling. I will use the emperor as the nominal ruler of the world to mediate disputes among the princes and enthrone you as king. You will then be the official King of Wei, with full legitimacy." Luo Yuan smiled and said, "Isn't that wonderful?"

Cao Cao said angrily: "I want to unify the world."

"Just go and unify the country. No one is stopping you. Don't tell me such things." Luo Yuan waved his hand, looked at Cao Cao and smiled, "Let the emperor come. It will be good for you and everyone else."

"What if I don't want to?"

"That's up to you!" Luo Yuan said with a smile, "I will never interfere with your decision."

Cao Cao was immediately confused and thought that Luo Yuan would force him to let the emperor come to Jiangling.

What does it mean to be so indifferent?
You really don't care about the emperor?
