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

Chapter 458: Kong Ming goes to the Military Commander's Office again, Xu Yuanzhi can no longer bear it
Liu Bei and Kong Ming cried because they hoped that Kong Ming would talk to Luo Yuan and ask Luo Yuan to help him.

But Kong Ming knew that Luo Yuan's ability to allow Liu Bei to settle in Jingzhou was already the bottom line, and he still wanted Luo Yuan to provide funding.

what are you thinking?

Do you really think Luo Yuan is easy to bully?

Kong Ming was also a little angry: "My lord, Jingzhou cannot be defended. Cao's army is right behind us. Our army is small and tired. We should return to Jiangxia. Why do you want to stay in Jingzhou?

Liu Bei said: "Jingzhou is an important place. It would be a pity to abandon it. If we can rely on it, we can also resist Cao Cao. Military Advisor, why don't you go talk to Luo Yuan!"

"What if Luo Yuan doesn't want to?"

Liu Bei said: "We are here to support the Han Dynasty. The military advisor can question Luo Yuan for the sake of justice. The emperor is in Jiangling and will not ignore it."

Kong Ming was really disappointed when he looked at Liu Bei. He thought Liu Bei must be crazy.

Do you really want to snatch Jingzhou from Luo Yuan?
It's already been great of Luo Yuan to allow Liu Bei to take control of Jingzhou. The right thing to do is to take a rest, reorganize the army, and then find a way to go to Jiangxia.

So you want to stay here and not leave?

For a moment, Kong Ming was very angry, but he suppressed his anger. Looking at Liu Bei, Kong Ming finally let out a sigh of helplessness and said that he would try it himself.

Jingzhou and Jiangling were very close, so Kong Ming quickly arrived in Jiangling and met Luo Yuan again.

Luo Yuan looked at Kong Ming speechlessly. He and Xu Shu were having dinner. When Kong Ming sat down, no one spoke.

After dinner, Xu Shu saw that the atmosphere was not good and took the initiative to ask: "What is Kong Ming doing here again? Hasn't the emperor's uncle already entered Jingzhou?"

Kong Ming looked at Luo Yuan and smiled, "You have done a good job. Jingzhou is just an empty city. There is not a grain of grain or an inch of cloth. How can we eat?"

Xu Shu smiled and said, "We agreed before that the uncle would temporarily live in Jingzhou. If we give up Jingzhou, we will naturally clear it out. What's the problem? You didn't say that we are not allowed to take away the supplies from Jingzhou. What you said is not right, Kong Ming."

Kong Ming said: "The host still has to entertain guests when they come to the door, Gongqi, don't you think so?"

Kong Ming did not talk to Xu Shu. Luo Yuan was the one who could make the decision. As long as Luo Yuan agreed, Jingzhou would have supplies.

Luo Yuan knew he couldn't avoid it, so he said, "I have done everything I can. It is impossible to give you supplies. The people of Jiangling are already dissatisfied with letting you settle down in Jingzhou. Sir, it's not easy for me either. Please consider my situation."

Kong Ming smiled and said, "I heard when I came to Jiangling that many noble families support the emperor's uncle to stay in Jingzhou temporarily. Why are you dissatisfied?"

Luo Yuan smiled and said, "Then you can ask the nobles for food. I don't have any food."

Kong Ming was stunned, looked at Luo Yuan, and suddenly realized that there were dozens of aristocratic families in Jingzhou, and those aristocratic families must have food and supplies.

Luo Yuan cleared out Jingzhou. Could it be that he wanted to force Liu Bei to take action against those nobles?

The emperor's uncle's army was chased by Cao Cao, and all their supplies had been lost long ago. Now only some of them have reached Jingzhou, and the army has not eaten for several days.

There is nothing a starving person can do.

'Luo Yuan wants to borrow the Emperor's uncle's hand to eliminate those nobles!
Kong Ming said angrily: "Gongqi, how can you ruin the reputation of the royal family like this? You have such a vicious heart."

Luo Yuan looked at Kong Ming innocently. "What are you talking about? I don't understand you." "Why do you say that, sir?"

Luo Yuan looked innocent.

The feather fan in Kong Ming's hand pointed at Luo Yuan and said, "You emptied Jingzhou, leaving only those nobles who were not on the same page with Jiangling. You yourself were unwilling to do it, but you wanted to use the emperor's uncle to help you clean up those nobles. The emperor's uncle is kind and righteous, but once he takes action, I'm afraid that kindness and righteousness will no longer exist. Gongqi, it's okay for you not to resist Cao. Everyone has their own aspirations, but you really shouldn't have harmed the emperor's uncle like this."

Kong Ming became angry as he spoke. No matter what Liu Bei said, he was truly fighting against Cao. How many people in Liu Bei's army had died along the way.

He followed Liu Bei and ran around everywhere without caring about his life.

But Luo Yuan stood aside and watched the show.

Kong Ming had been angry for a long time, and this time he couldn't help himself: "You sit and watch the world in chaos, where is your conscience?"

Xu Shu's face turned dark. Kong Ming was going too far. Luo Yuan was the master of Jiangling. How could an outsider like you say that?
Xu Shu said: "Kong Ming, have I, Jiangling, ever let Liu Bei and you down? We didn't provide you with what you wanted last time, and now you are asking for a place to stay in Jingzhou. I strongly opposed it, but the lord still agreed."

"Now Jiangling is talking about Liu Bei entering Jingzhou. The people are dissatisfied and the nobles are talking about it. If it weren't for the lord suppressing the discussion, how could you enter Jingzhou?"

Xu Shu looked at Kong Ming seriously, not avoiding the question: "Jiangling doesn't owe you and Liu Bei anything. Besides, you saved Madam Mi and Liu Bei's son Adou from the chaotic army, and rescued Zhao Yun from Cao's camp. You almost fought with Cao Cao. Isn't that enough? Is my lord less righteous than Liu Bei?"

"You said Liu Bei was kind and righteous, but who has seen Liu Bei's kindness and righteousness?" Xu Shu sneered, "He set out from Xinye and brought hundreds of thousands of people with him. If it weren't for Jiangling's intervention, what would have happened to those people? As a wise man, don't you know this?"

"Liu Bei has a reputation for being righteous, but he doesn't have the ability to be righteous. He caused hundreds of thousands of people to work in vain, with countless deaths and injuries, and they are left to wander around. I brought more than 80,000 people directly to Jiangling, but what about the others? Since he brought them out from Xinye, why didn't they follow him to Jingzhou?"

Narrator stood up and looked at Kong Ming: "Benevolence without ability will only kill people. My lord and you have a long history. Remembering that you saved his life in the past, he is very polite to you and respects you as an elder, but I, Xu Shu, don't need that. You are smart, but you help Liu Bei deceive the world with benevolence, which is killing people."

"Although Jiangling is a small place, it has a population of one million and a large army. The princes of the world dare not disobey. Do you really think that Jiangling will not destroy Liu Bei in Jingzhou? Don't force us."

Xu Shu was also annoyed. What qualifications do you, Kong Ming, have to blame Luo Yuan? If you win, you will say that this is to support the Han Dynasty and the righteousness of the world. If you lose, you will say that others are unkind!
Isn't this double standard?

Xu Shu felt that Luo Yuan had done enough for Kong Ming, and if he supported Liu Bei now, it would most likely make Cao Cao unhappy.

It naturally didn't matter before, but now that Cao Cao is right in front of him, he still wants Jiang Ling to favor Liu Bei and really wants to drag Jiang Ling into the water.

Kong Ming calmly looked at Luo Yuan who had been eating: "Gongqi, what do you mean?"

Luo Yuan put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, looked at Kong Ming and said, "Sir, go back. Jingzhou has food. It depends on whether Liu Bei is willing to take it. If he doesn't want to take the food, there is no reason for him to ask me. I am not his father. Xu Shu's words are my meaning. Don't do everything too much. If you do too much, your fate will end sooner."

Kong Ming looked at Luo Yuan and then at Xu Shu, his face turned red, and he turned around and left. He was too embarrassed to stay.

Xu Shu sighed and said, "He is a fool. It is not good for him to come to Jiangling. What future does he have by following Liu Bei? I am afraid he will worry about Liu Bei to death in the future."

Luo Yuan glanced at Xu Shu and said, “You are right, Kong Ming died of exhaustion, but that was his own choice.”
