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

Chapter 479: The old ministers are uneasy when the city wall is demolished, and the Jiangling model covers Jingzhou

When Luo Yuan migrated to Jingzhou, some problems arose, mainly due to the old ministers of the Han Dynasty who came with the emperor.

These people are more sensitive and like to think a lot.

In fact, it was not just Liu Xie who was worried, but also those old ministers of the Han Dynasty. They must have said something to Liu Xie that made this young man worried.

Luo Yuan could sense that Liu Xie was very upset.

The pressure from Cao Cao was too great. Once Cao Cao won this battle, his fate might return to his old path.

After all, the emperor felt that Luo Yuan moved to Jingzhou because he was afraid of Cao Cao.

Luo Yuan was afraid of Cao Cao, so naturally he was afraid too.

If he wasn't afraid of Cao Cao, why would Luo Yuan come to Jingzhou?

It was useless for Luo Yuan to explain. Liu Xie had already figured it out in his mind and could only wait and see the result.

After arriving in Jingzhou, Luo Yuan started a major construction project.

A few days later, Liu Xie brought a group of old ministers of the Han Dynasty to see Luo Yuan.

"Does Gongqi really have to tear down the city wall?"

The emperor knew that Jingzhou was planning to demolish the city wall. In fact, the construction started today.

Luo Yuan was stunned, and looked at Liu Xie, Zhao Wen and others, "What's going on?"

Liu Xie was speechless for a while, and Zhao Wen asked: "Could Gong Qi not tear down the city wall of Jingzhou?"

Seeing the other person's uneasy look, Luo Yuan understood that he felt insecure.

Still afraid that Cao Cao would attack.

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry!
The old ministers of the Han Dynasty were quite cooperative when they came to Jingzhou this time, and nothing happened.

Luo Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "The city wall is being demolished to build houses. Jingzhou does not have enough bricks and stones, and the city wall is of no use. It is better to demolish it. There is no other meaning. You don't have to worry about it."

The emperor and others felt a little embarrassed, knowing that Luo Yuan had seen through their thoughts.

Now that I've seen it, I won't pretend anymore.

Liu Xie asked, "Are you really not coming to Jingzhou because you are afraid of Cao Cao?"

"Gongqi is afraid of Cao Cao."

"It's okay to say it. There are few people in the world who are not afraid of Cao Cao."

Luo Yuan looked at these people and took a breath, saying: "I am not afraid of Cao Cao. Why should I be afraid? Cao Cao is also a human being. Why should I be afraid of him? Although there are millions of troops, they are still human beings. They can be killed. The main reason for coming to Jingzhou is that Jiangling has reached its limit. Jingzhou is now empty. Don't you care?"

Before Luo Yuan came to Jingzhou, there were hardly any people in the entire city. After all, he had moved once before. Later, when Liu Bei came, those uncooperative gentry also followed Liu Bei!

Such a strategic location was completely vacant.

Luo Yuan said: "The General Office came to Jingzhou because of the need for development. The local area is vast and rich, and can support tens of millions of people. It is not comparable to Jiangling. It has nothing to do with Cao Cao. I can't know that there are no people in Jingzhou and not come to develop it. You are overthinking it."

"The people and the army have arrived in Jingzhou. Aren't they all reclaiming wasteland and building?" Luo Yuan smiled and motioned for everyone to drink water. "Tearing down the city wall is also for the needs of Jingzhou's development. What does Jingzhou need a city wall for? The General Military Office is strong enough to protect everyone. There is no need for a city wall. Jiangling doesn't have a city wall either, but who in the world dares to look down on Jiangling?"

"That's true. We are just worried that Cao Cao will come and kill us."

"How is that possible? I asked Huang Zhong and Xu Su to stay in Jiangling. Jiangling is not far from Jingzhou and can be reached in half a day. If Cao Cao really wants to attack us, he has to pass Jiangling first." These people were really overthinking and were scared by Cao Cao. Luo Yuan decided to find something for these people to do. It's not that the old ministers of the Han Dynasty are incapable, but their system is not in line with the system of Jiangling. Their personal abilities are still very good.

"Why don't you supervise the demolition of the city wall, and help the Military Command to supervise the construction of houses and people's livelihood. The people will definitely have problems after they move here, so you can help solve them."

Seeing that Luo Yuan really didn't seem to be afraid of Cao Cao, these people felt a little relieved, but they still felt it was better to keep the city wall.

"That won't work. It still has to be demolished for the development of Jingzhou. That goes without saying." Luo Yuan smiled.

Although he was smiling, his tone was firm. These people had no choice but to go back.

Luo Yuan looked at Liu Xie who stayed behind and laughed, "Are they so afraid of Cao Cao?"

"Who isn't afraid? Isn't this normal? You treat everyone as if they are the same as you. If you leave the city wall, everyone will feel more confident."

Luo Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "The confidence is not given to you by the city wall, but by me, the General Military Office, and the people. As long as the people support us, we will naturally have the confidence."

You have already said the big truths, what else can I say?

Liu Xie naturally understood this, but he had more experience: "In the past, there were many people in Luoyang and Chang'an, but they were unable to protect the Han Dynasty."

"How can I be the same as you? In the 400 years of the Han Dynasty, there were only a few emperors who were good to the people, and most of them were emperors who exploited the people. There were not many good emperors in your family. If you don't treat the people well, how can you expect them to work hard for you?"

Isn’t this nonsense?

Luo Yuan looked at Liu Xie with disdain: "You know it, too. How can you say such a thing?"

Liu Xie smiled awkwardly, knowing that he could not stop Luo Yuan from demolishing the city wall, he simply stopped talking and looked at Luo Yuan and said, "Just now you asked Zhao Wen and his men to monitor the project, but you wanted them to serve as officials."

"No, I just want to find something for them to do so that they won't think too much. They are sensitive and can't sleep or eat well, which makes you uneasy. In the end, won't you bother me?" Luo Yuan said.

Liu Xie nodded: "Okay, in that case, I will go back. It is more important to make money."

In Cao's camp, Cao Cao was very annoyed because there were more and more sick people in the army. He had ordered treatment for the soldiers, but the effect was not great, so he could only lock up the sick soldiers alone.

These imprisoned soldiers were basically abandoned. This had some effect, as the rate of increase in injuries slowed down, but it also dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the troops.

People are dying in the army every day.

Not only did some soldiers die of illness, but some also committed suicide because they had lost hope.

He could only order those soldiers to be burned. Thousands of people had died in half a month. These people were only a small number compared to the army of more than 800,000.

It was so small that Cao Cao could ignore it, but the top brass of Cao's army had a premonition that there might be a big problem in the barracks.

Xun You said, "King of Wei, the soldiers' discussions are bad for morale. Why not tell the public that it was caused by the Jiangdong bandits?"

Put the blame on Jiangdong for the disease in the army, saying that the soldiers were sick because of Jiangdong people, so as to divert the hatred of the soldiers.

After Cao Cao felt that he could agree, he said, "Luo Yuan originally said that it might be a plague. What do you think?"

"Absolutely not." Xun You said firmly.

Cao Cao nodded: "I don't think so either."

If it is a plague, it would be too embarrassing. If it comes, there is a plague. If it doesn't come, there is no plague. This plague is coming to me, right? Doesn't that mean that he, Cao, is not blessed by God?

So it definitely can't be that. It must be due to the unfamiliar climate and soil, or the people from Jiangdong are causing trouble.
