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

Chapter 484: Respect for Heroes

Luo Yuan stayed in Jingzhou to develop Jingzhou while waiting for the Battle of Chibi to begin. At the same time, he secretly mobilized troops, and Gan Ning was also preparing to besiege Changsha.

Han Xuan refused to surrender, and because the gentry in the city had been exploited to the extreme by him, the contradiction between the two sides was deep and irreconcilable, and Han Xuan was anxious day and night.

Gan Ning besieged Changsha, but did not attack. However, he also did not allow people in the city to leave. The Changsha gentry contacted Gan Ning several times, but the people they sent were killed by Gan Ning as soon as they left the city gate.

Up to now, the gentry and Han Xuan who were still able to stay in Changsha have been put on Luo Yuan’s blacklist.

In the Jiangling army outside Changsha.

Wen Pin and Gan Ning said, "We have been besieging Changsha for half a month."

Seventeen days had passed since Luo Yuan last ordered to cross the river and to besiege Changsha, and no more orders came from Luo Yuan after that.

Gan Ning smiled and said, "On the 17th, Han Xuan and his men can't hold out for much longer. Let's wait a few more days and then attack the city."

Wen Pin didn't understand. It was possible to attack the city now. There were only a few soldiers on the top of Changsha City, and their morale was low.
Gan Ning thought for a moment and said, "It won't be too late to fight again in three days. Why do you think Han Xuan has been able to hold on? It's because Cao Cao promised him in Jiangling that he would not die."

"What does that have to do with three days later?"

"Because there will be a southeast wind in three days, the lord said that it was summoned by Zhuge Liang. When the wind blows, our army can attack the city and destroy Han Xuan. You lead the troops to continue south to take Wuling, Guiyang and other places." Gan Ning smiled and said, "The lord has already arranged all these. We just need to act according to the lord's wishes."

Wen Pin was extremely curious. This meant that something big would happen in three days.

But Gan Ning stopped talking.

Two days later, Luo Yuan took Jia Xu and secretly went to Jiangling to meet with Xu Shu and others.

Xu Shu said, "My lord, there is a plague in Cao's army. The number of deaths is out of control. Cao Cao kills the sick and injured. The morale of Cao's army is low."

"Is the Jingzhou navy still in charge of Cao's water fort now?"

"Yes, the soldiers Cao Cao brought from the north are still not used to water battles. It will take at least two years to train the northern soldiers into qualified naval soldiers." Xu Shu said.

There was no way Cao Cao could stay in Jingzhou for two years. He was wrong when he wanted to train the northerners into a navy.

Being a navy soldier doesn’t just require knowing how to swim.

Luo Yuan sighed and said, "He just won't listen to my advice. Forget it. After watching the drama tonight, I will make sure he doesn't die. The army can be mobilized secretly."

Huang Zhong said: "The army has been mobilized. Once Cao's army and Jiangdong go to war, our army will quickly block Liu Bei's way south, cut off the Yangtze River waterway, and force Liu Bei to go north to Xiangyang and Fancheng. If he wants to develop, he needs to go west. Everything will develop according to the master's preset."

Once he completes his idea, Luo Yuan will occupy the most promising land in the world, and he can take over Jiangxia in the southern part of Jingzhou!

It controlled the upper parts of Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi in later generations, and its governance covered the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

We have the Jianghan Plain as our granary!
Luo Yuan is confident that he can conquer the world within ten years.

Hunanese people are very good at fighting.

Luo Yuan looked back at Liu Xie who had come with him and said, "Your Majesty, in three days, you must issue an order to punish the disobedient."

Liu Xie was very excited because Luo Yuan had already told him about the plan when he was in Jingzhou.

After a turning point that could affect the world's situation appeared, he issued an order to punish the disobedient forces as the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

The princes of the world either voluntarily handed over their military power and land and came to serve in the united court in Jiangling, or they would become disloyal subjects and be suppressed by the united court.

This was also the last time he exercised the power of the emperor as an emperor. After that, there would be no more emperors in the world, only the emperor's family, and the Han Dynasty would become an honorary existence.

This was also because his Liu family had an ancestor who was a powerful man like Emperor Wu of Han, who left behind great achievements for the people of the world, so Luo Yuan allowed it.

Afterwards, Luo Yuan and the others boarded the ship. Liu Xie laughed and asked, "What are we waiting to see?"

"Watch a war that will change the situation for a thousand years." Luo Yuan said.

Upon hearing this, Jia Xu glanced at Luo Yuan and said nothing.

The river breeze was very cold, pushing Luo Yuan's boat towards the center of the Yangtze River.

Finally, the ship stopped in the middle of the Yangtze River. Luo Yuan and others sat in the hold, lighting a fire and eating hot pot. The charcoal burned rapidly in the cold wind.

Luo Yuan took a sip of wine and looked outside. He saw the Yangtze River flowing eastward. For a moment, Luo Yuan was silent.

I have been in this world for more than two years, traveling north and south, meeting the most beautiful woman of this era, and building the most powerful economy of this era.

This evening we will witness one of the greatest battles in history.

He looked at the north bank of the Yangtze River. At this time, Meng De should be composing poetry with his spear in hand, singing his most famous poem "The whole country is at peace" - Duke Zhou spits out food to feed his guests.

At this time, Zhou Yu and Huang Gai were probably preparing to implement the fire plan.

At this time, Liu Bei should be following Kong Ming's plan and trying to take advantage of the situation.

Luo Yuan raised his glass, walked to the riverside, and poured the strong liquor in the glass into the Yangtze River.

Everyone found it strange.

Liu Xie asked, "Gongqi, what are you doing?"

Luo Yuan turned around and smiled, "I am paying tribute to the heroes of the world, and to the Yangtze River that carries thousands of years of stories."

Those stories that only I know and you don’t know.

In these stories, I am the outsider, while Liu Xie, Jia Xu, Huang Zhong, Xu Shu and others are all people in this story.

Luo Yuan looked at the people in front of him and laughed: "Tonight Cao Cao and Cao Mengde will be remembered for eternity, tonight Zhou Yu is famous all over the world, tonight Kong Ming's wisdom astonishes the world, tonight we are fortunate to witness the changes of a thousand years, and also tonight, my Jiangling army will rule the world."

"Since I followed Kong Ming out of the mountains, the flowers have bloomed twice. I stationed troops in Jiangling to support the people and observe the world. Tonight, I can finally realize my ambitions." Luo Yuan laughed and said, "I respect the heroes of the world, who are as eternal as the Yangtze River. I respect the people of this world, who are as immortal as the Yangtze River. I also respect the eternal prosperity of the Han people and their dominance in the region."

Luo Yuan had a lot of things in his mind, but he knew that no one could understand them. Only he himself knew how much suffering the Han people would endure after the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The glory of Emperor Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han was lost for hundreds of years after the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that the Han people were inspired again.

But history is about to change.

The time for change is today.

Luo Yuan looked at Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, your Liu family's empire will end after today."

Liu Xie was stunned, and then he looked at Luo Yuan and slowly smiled. He also poured a glass of wine into the Yangtze River: "I understand. This glass of wine is for my ancestors of the Liu family, Gaozu Liu Bang, Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing, Emperor Wu, Emperor Guangwu, and all future generations of descendants Liu Xie respectfully inform the world that the Han Dynasty fell in my hands!"
