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

Chapter 457: The emperor is also far-sighted, and Liu Huangshu guards the empty city alone
Luo Yuan nodded immediately. He understood. He understood it very well. He wanted to make money but was afraid of trouble. It would be best if someone gave him money for free without any trouble.

After all, Luo Yuan himself likes it this way.

As soon as he said this, Liu Xie laughed. Gong Qi really understood him best.

Unfortunately, those princes were ignorant and did the opposite. They caused trouble for him but did not give him any money.

Knowing that Luo Yuan would not change his mind, Liu Xie did not say much. Anyway, he had already made his attitude clear.

I won't care about Liu Bei. Luo Yuan can do whatever he wants. It's not a problem.

Liu Xie asked, "How about Cao Cao?"

He was also concerned about Cao Cao. This time Cao Cao came with a large army, and it must be different from before.

How strong is Cao’s army? Can Jiangling withstand it?

Luo Yuan said: "A million Cao troops are very powerful. If things go well, he may be able to unify the world this time."

"what?"

So fierce.

Liu Xie was shocked. What would happen if Cao Cao unified the world?

Given Boss Cao's personality, if he really unified the world, he would definitely not let me go.

"Gong Qi, let's deal with him. How can we let him get away with it?" Liu Xie felt under great pressure. Now you have someone who can stop him.

"And Liu Bei, what about Jiangdong?"

"Can I count on them?" Liu Xie looked at me with a look on his face, "Are you kidding me?"
Liu Bei was beaten like a dog by Cao Cao. As for Sun Quan, he is hiding in Jiangdong and looks like a coward. Can we rely on such a person?

Liu Xie relied on Jiangling.

Luo Yuan was feeling very strange at this moment. He wanted to say something but suddenly didn't want to say it anymore when he saw Liu Xie. He always felt that this emperor was weird.

Hey.

It's that feeling of being very novice but also very playful.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Cao Cao will not attack Jiangling." Luo Yuan said with a smile.

"Why? He told you not to attack Jiang Ling."

Of course he didn't say it, but although Luo Yuan had some unpleasantness with Cao Cao, if Cao Cao was not a fool, he would not attack Jiangling and push himself to Liu Bei's Jiangdong side.

Could Cao Cao be an idiot? Of course not.

'

Besides, even if he had to fight, Jiang Ling was not afraid. Although he could not kill Cao Cao, he could still give him a severe blow.

Luo Yuan analyzed the situation to the emperor and he felt uneasy now.

Cao's power is too great when he went south, so it's normal that everyone feels uneasy.

The same goes for the emperor, he is also a human being after all.

"That's true, but Gongqi, I'm still worried. There are few soldiers in Jiangling, so why not transfer Huang Zhong back?" Liu Xie said.

"How can that be? If Cao Cao goes south, Han Xuan will surely become even more rampant. The time for us to take Changsha is coming." Luo Yuan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry about the safety of Jiangling. Jiangling has enough troops. How can I put myself in danger?"

Makes sense!

Liu Xie felt relieved now. Thinking about Cao Cao heading south, Liu Xie felt a little annoyed. The world is so big, why did you come to Jingzhou if you can just fight him?
But it was just a thought, and Liu Xie also knew that what he thought was useless.

Luo Yuan comforted Liu Xie, had a meal with him, and then went back to the military headquarters. When he came back, he heard Xu Shu say, "Xiahou Dun is here!"

Luo Yuan met Xiahou Dun and asked: "Why did the King of Wei ask you to come?"

Xiahou Dun said, "The army will be stationed in Jiangling. The King of Wei asked me to come and discuss with you. Is the military camp ready?"

"Where's the money?" Jiang Ling prepared a large number of military camps and planned to sell them to Cao Cao.

Xiahou Dun smiled and said, "Don't worry, there is money. The King of Wei will give it to you later. So everything is fine. But when I came to Jiangling, I heard that you wanted to lend Jingzhou to Liu Bei? Is this true?"

"Yes, Liu Bei asked me to borrow Jingzhou to stay temporarily, and I thought about it and agreed.'

Xiahou Dun stared. What do you mean by agreeing after thinking about it?
Shouldn't this kind of thing be rejected without even a second thought?

"Don't you know the story of Lu Bu borrowing Xuzhou?" Xiahou Dun planned to tell Luo Yuan that Liu Bei was now a stray dog, who was capable of doing anything and might be as shameless as Lu Bu.

He had sent someone to bring the news of Jiangling back to Cao Cao, asking Cao Cao to attack Jingzhou.

Luo Yuan smiled and said, "Liu Bei is a kind and righteous man. He will definitely not borrow money and not return it."

"I don't know whether to say you are naive or stupid," Xiahou Dun said, "I have already informed the King of Wei that our army will definitely attack Jingzhou."

"Got it. You can do whatever you want. Jiangling will not interfere. My army is taking the people of Jingzhou to Jiangling to free up the battlefield for you."

"Ok?"

Xiahou Dun felt something was wrong. "You took all the people away?"

"Yes, what else? Those are my people. Is there a problem?"

It feels like there is no problem but there is really a problem.

"Jingzhou is now an empty city?"

"That's not the case. There are still some noble families who are unwilling to leave and stay in Jingzhou. Many of them are century-old families. I can't be rough with them since they are famous and prestigious families." Luo Yuan was extremely polite.

Xiahou Dun felt that he understood. These noble families were probably unwilling to support Luo Yuan. There was no way before, but now that Liu Bei came, these noble families were exposed. These families were not on the same page with Jiangling.

"Gongqi, our army has occupied Jingzhou. Will you attack Jingzhou?"

Xiahou Dun was very worried about this and had to ask clearly first, because no one knew how many cards Luo Yuan had hidden.

If Luo Yuan gets unhappy and goes to war with Cao Wei, they will definitely be in trouble.

Luo Yuan whispered, "I gave Jingzhou to Liu Bei so that you can fight them. If he runs around, it will be difficult for you to chase him. But with Jingzhou, don't you have a target? Don't worry, you can fight without worry. The Jiangling army only guards the pass. In a few days, when the people of Jingzhou arrive in Jiangling, the pass will be closed. My army will not appear outside Jiangling."

Xiahou Dun nodded, "The King of Wei will definitely be happy with this!"

Whether Lao Cao is happy or not is none of my business. Why should I care?

It sounded like he was flattering Cao Cao. Xiahou Dun was simply overthinking it.

Luo Yuan just wanted to watch a show, and Jingzhou is close to Jiangling.

Isn’t it nice that you can watch a show right at your doorstep without leaving Jiangling?

Xiahou Dun knew Luo Yuan's attitude and went back immediately.

After Kong Ming met Liu Bei, he talked to Luo Yuan and he agreed. Liu Bei led an army of more than 30,000 into Jingzhou City and on the same day he gained the support and allegiance of dozens of aristocratic families.

But when he learned that Jingzhou was now an empty city, Liu Bei was dumbfounded. The people and treasury of Jingzhou had been emptied out by Liu Huan, and the common people took all their belongings to Jiangling.

He can be the master of Jingzhou now, but without the people and supplies... Liu Bei felt that Luo Yuan was not being kind.

"Jingzhou is an empty city. Our army is small and I'm afraid it will be difficult to defend it. What should the military advisor do now?"

Seeing that Liu Bei was about to cry again, Kong Ming hurriedly said: "My lord, it is not easy for Gong Qi to give up Jingzhou. We should reorganize here and then go to Jiangxia."

Liu Bei said: "I can't bear to see the people suffer. The local people are willing to follow me, how can I abandon them?"

Where are the local people? They were all taken away by Luo Yuan. You are talking about those dozens of aristocratic families, right?

Those were all things Luo Yuan didn't want. When Kong Ming knew that Liu Bei wanted to occupy Jingzhou, he was speechless for a moment.
