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

Chapter 42: Ning Xugong felt wronged when planning for Jingzhou, and Cao Cao rescued Xiahou in Xuchang
This is an era where background is important. If one has a good background, he is naturally noble. Zhuge Liang can lead these people because he is from a noble family, and even a famous family among the noble families. It is natural for disciples from famous families to be outstanding!

Sun Qian said anxiously: "My lord, it's not that I want to harm Gongqi. If you use Gongqi, all the nobles in the world will be your enemies. Even Cao Cao doesn't dare to use a man like him. If you give Gongqi a place, he can raise an army. If you don't want to kill Gongqi, you can only put Gongqi in the eyes of others, like a fish in a net or a dragon swimming in shallow water, and he will be slowly wasted!"

"My lord, please do not hesitate. Our goal is Jingzhou. Compared with Jingzhou, Gongqi's grievance is just a small matter. Changsha Governor Han Xuan will not harm Gongqi for the sake of my lord's feelings." Sun Qian said:

Liu Bei thought about Han Xuan for a moment and nodded slightly, "Gongyou is right. I have met Han Xuan in the past. If I ask for an official position for you, it shouldn't be difficult!"

Sun Qian said: "My lord, you don't intend to confer the title of Duke Qi, but instead seek an official position from the court?"

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Gongqi has made a great contribution to Jiangdong. He should be rewarded by the court. Then it will be legitimate for Gongqi to go to Changsha. Han Xuan will not harm Gongqi when he sees him. When I take Jingzhou in the future, Gongqi will still be under my command, but I can use him at that time!"

When Sun Qian saw that Liu Bei had made up his mind, he immediately congratulated him and said, "The local nobles should be returned to the lord, and Jingzhou will be ours!"

Liu Bei seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately wrote a memorial and sent it to Xudu, praising Luo Yuan's merits and asking for an official position for him.

Cao Cao sent Xiahou Dun to the south, and he himself was in charge of Xudu. One day, he just asked for the military report. He was very satisfied to know that Xiahou Dun had already entered Bowang City and was busy making weapons to attack Xinye soon.

Just after discussing matters with his important ministers, Cao Cao received another piece of intelligence and was shocked after reading it.

"Luo Yuan, do you know who Mr. Luo is talking to?"

It turned out that the information was sent by Cao Cao's spy in Jiangnan, which described in detail what happened in Jiangxia. Cao Cao couldn't believe that Liu Bei had such a person under his command.

As soon as he mentioned Luo Yuan, the important officials on Cao Cao's side were all stunned, as they had never heard of him.

"Who is Luo Yuan? Where is he from? What family is he a disciple of?"

"Luo Yuan, I have never heard of him!"

"The Prime Minister is a disciple of a famous noble family!"

Seeing the confused looks of his ministers, Cao Cao was speechless and could only let them see for themselves. Cao Cao said, "Luo Gongyou, you are so powerful in Jiangdong that I am afraid you will be famous all over the world soon. With the strength of one person, he led 100,000 people to force Jiangdong, and even sailed across the Yangtze River to cut off the southeast. I am very impressed by him. How could Liu Bei have such a great talent?"

Great talent?

Prime Minister, are you wrong?
But after everyone read the information, they all stared.

The information in the intelligence must be true, no one dares to falsify such information! '

"This man fought Zhou Yu and killed tens of thousands of people, but only a thousand of his own men died. How did he do it?"

"Distributing food to the people, gathering millions of people, and using the people to suppress Jiangdong, this is really bold. If you are not careful, the outcome will be life or death. How dare he be so bold!"

"This is not just being daring, this is courting disaster. This person is even braver than Guan Yu!"

"This... is really unbelievable!"

Sima Yi frowned deeply, this guy is so terrifying!

Everyone was terrified. This kind of method was useless even if it could shock Jiangdong. It would probably shock the whole world.

Sima Yi hurriedly said: "Not good, Prime Minister, Xiahou Dun is in trouble!"

Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Just now everyone thought Xiahou Dun was making good progress. What do you mean by saying that he is in trouble now?" Sima Yi said quickly, "Prime Minister, if Liu Bei uses Luo Gongqi as his military advisor, Xiahou Dun will be his opponent!"

Cao Cao shouted, "Yes, I almost forgot. Quick, send a letter to Xiahou, ordering him to stop attacking Xinye and not to fight Luo Gongqi. If he disobeys the military order, he will be punished by military law!"

After sending out the order, Cao Cao was extremely nervous. He must not act rashly before he figured out who Luo Yuan was!

A man who was feared by Jiangdong was too scary. Luo Yuan could kill tens of thousands of people in Jiangdong, so how could it be a problem for him to kill tens of thousands of people?

"Zhongda was cautious and avoided a disaster. Do you know Luo Yuan and Luo Gongqi?"

Everyone shook their heads, and then one of them suddenly burst into laughter.

Cao Cao was immediately unhappy and looked over and saw that it was Xu Shu. Although Xu Shu was reminded by Luo Yuan to pick up his mother, the person he sent was too late, and his mother had already been picked up by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao wanted to attack Liu Bei, so he naturally knew the people around Liu Bei and knew that Xu Shu was a filial son, so he would use any means necessary.

When Xu Shu learned that his mother was in trouble, he hurried to Xuchang but was directly detained by Cao Cao.

The other ministers all turned around to look at Xu Shu, who laughed and said, "Luo Gongqi is a good friend of mine!"

hiss!
Everyone felt a chill on their backs, as if a cold wind had blown on them.

Cao Cao was overjoyed and asked quickly: "Can Yuanzhi help me invite him to Xuchang?"

"It's impossible. Luo Gongqi was just Kong Ming's servant. If a servant can be like this, what about Kong Ming?" Xu Shu said deliberately. His mother had committed suicide, but he couldn't go back to find Liu Bei. He was just trying to scare Cao Cao on purpose, hoping that Cao Cao would not attack Liu Bei!
Cao Cao immediately did not hesitate, and the other ministers naturally understood the meaning of Xu Shu's words. Wasn't it that he looked down on them?

But when they thought about Xu Shu's words, everyone still felt a little unsure.

Cao Cao suddenly laughed and said, "Yuanzhi, please sit down and talk to us about Luo Gongqi!"

Before Xu Shu could say anything, someone came in from outside. It was Liu Bei's memorial.

Cao Cao's eyes widened after reading it, and he burst into laughter: "Gentlemen, Uncle Liu has submitted a petition to the Emperor on behalf of Lord Luo to request an official position!"

No one was surprised. Luo Yuan had made great contributions and should be rewarded. Liu Bei's behavior was normal. It was Cao Cao who laughed as if he had seen a ghost.

What's so funny? He has an unparalleled strategist under his command, so shouldn't he be worried?

Xu Shu doesn't feel well!
Cao Cao said, "Uncle Liu, please ask the emperor to reward Luo Gongqi as the magistrate of Sha County and the Marquis of Xinxiangting!"

Xu Shu was shocked. What happened to Liu Bei? Why was he the magistrate of Sha County?

Sima Yi and the others were stunned, and then they laughed. Sima Yi said, "Liu Bei didn't use Luo Gongqi, it must be because the Jingzhou nobles opposed it. Prime Minister, I have a plan!"

"Zhongda, please speak!"

Sima Yi said excitedly: "The Prime Minister should make a petition to the Emperor. Luo Gongqi is so powerful in Jiangdong that a county magistrate is not enough to reward him for his merits. It would be better to invite Luo Yuan to be the governor of Changsha and reward Luo Gongqi heavily. This way, there will be a rift between Liu Bei and Luo Gongqi!"

Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction and continued, "But now the governor of Changsha is Han Xuan. If Luo Gongqi is also appointed as the governor of Changsha, what will happen if Han Xuan is dissatisfied?"
