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

Chapter 76: Everyone is still dissatisfied with the discussion, Cao Cao tests Luo Gongqi

Cao Cao was discussing the matter of Ma Teng and Han Sui with his men. The two men were now near Chang'an, with an army of over 100,000. They nominally obeyed the emperor and would not go to war with Cao Cao, but Cao Cao felt they were a threat.

Ma Teng and Han Sui threatened his rear, so he wrote to Ma Teng hoping that he could come to Xuchang to be an official, but Ma Teng was still hesitant.

"I want to obtain Jingzhou, and the rear must be stable. I feel uneasy with Ma Teng and Han Sui in the rear. Ma Teng is willing to enter Xuchang, but he was persuaded by Han Sui and became suspicious. I must kill Han Sui!"

Cao Cao was very angry with Han Sui. If it weren't for Han Sui, Ma Teng would have come to Xuchang. However, Han Sui told Ma Teng that it would be unsafe once Ma Teng went to Xuchang, and Cao Cao just wanted to seize his troops.

Ma Teng and Han Sui now rely on each other near Chang'an. But Han Sui is not willing to listen to Cao Cao at all.

Cao Cao's subordinates each put forward their own ideas. Some said to continue to recruit them, some said to fight, and some said not to provoke Ma Teng and Han Sui for the time being, and to wait until Jingzhou was pacified before attacking Ma Teng and Han Sui and crushing them with the general trend.

After taking Jingzhou, Cao Cao occupied half of the world. He was very powerful at that time, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the general trend of the world. It was much easier for him to deal with Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Sima Yi, Cheng Yu and others discussed the issue endlessly, but Cao Cao was not very satisfied with their methods. He wanted to solve the problem once and for all.

Just at this moment, Xu Zhu came back cursing.

"My lord, that Luo Yuan was very rude. When I went to ask him to come, he almost killed many of my soldiers. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have been killed by him. This man is a ruthless person!"

Cao Cao was stunned. When he saw that Luo Yuan didn't come, he was immediately angry and said, "I asked you to invite him. Why did you do that? Where is he? Did you chase him away? If he left, I will beat you to death!"

Xu Zhu stared and said, "He didn't run away. He went to Xu Shu's house. The master is a ruthless man. He can even use poison. His methods are a bit mysterious. I think you should not recruit him. It's better to kill him!"

"Get out!"

Hearing that Luo Yuan was fine, Cao Cao was too lazy to bother with Xu Zhu. Is that human language?

Is Luo Gongqi a famous scholar in the world?

Can I kill anyone I want?

As soon as Xu Zhu left, Cao Cao looked at his men and thought for a while. His men had been discussing for a long time but had not come up with a good way to deal with Ma Teng and Han Sui. He wondered what Luo Gongqi would think.

This incident was a good opportunity to test Luo Yuan, so Cao Cao immediately announced the disbandment!
After all the generals and counselors had left, Cheng Yu deliberately slowed down and said, "The Prime Minister is going to see Luo Yuan. I want to see him too!"

When Sima Yi heard this, he stopped immediately and said, "Prime Minister, I also want to meet Luo Gongqi."

Xun Yu and Xun You both walked out the door. After hearing this, they turned back and looked at Cao Cao. They had the same idea.

Luo Gongqi is really too powerful. He overwhelmed Jiangdong with his own strength.

Although none of Cao Cao's people look down on Jiangdong, Jiangdong is not a group of just any old man.

Does that mean you can use pressure if you have the ability?

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Then let's all go, and have someone bring some good meat and seasonings along!"

Sima Yi asked, "My Lord, why do you bring these things?"

Cao Cao said: "Yuan Rang wrote to me saying that Gong Qi is good at barbecue and the meat is very tasty, it is the best in the world. Gong Qi often told Yuan Rang that there is nothing in the world that cannot be solved by a barbecue. If there is something difficult to resolve, then just have two barbecues." Everyone was stunned when they heard this and did not understand what was going on!
However, since it was Cao Cao who said it, everyone naturally laughed, but they were curious about what barbecue was.

Cao Cao brought Sima Yi, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Xun You and others together. One of them fell behind and looked dull, it was Jia Xu.

Jia Xu was an adviser to Zhang Xiu. After Cao Cao defeated Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu took the opportunity to defect to Cao Cao. He was usually cautious and low-key.

Jia Xu had heard of Luo Yuan's reputation a long time ago and was yearning for him, especially since Luo Yuan's method of killing all the nobles of Jiangxia and leaving no grass alive was even more cruel than his own.

When I plan to kill someone, at most I would kill the entire family, but Luo Gongqi would kill the entire clan. Surprisingly, he and I are very similar.

Cao Cao arrived at Xu Shu's house very quickly and burst into laughter. "Gongqi, Yuan Rang said you wanted to see me, and now I'm here."

Cao Cao originally wanted to go in directly, but then he thought that Luo Yuan was a famous scholar in the world. He was already impolite for not going to the city gate to greet him before, and he could not go in at this time.

Cao Cao immediately stopped everyone and waited at the door.

Luo Yuan was notified and came out with Xu Shu, only to see Cao Cao and everyone else waiting at the door. He was of medium build, with average looks, a weathered look in his eyes, and a beard on his chin, which made him look more stable and dignified. He was dressed in brocade clothes and had a natural air of nobility!
Luo Yuan hurriedly bowed: "Prime Minister, how are you!"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Today I was discussing the matter of Ma Teng and Han Sui with everyone, and Gong Qi happened to come from afar. I did not greet him, it was my fault, and now I have come to apologize to Gong Qi!"

"National affairs are more important. I came to Yecheng just for a tour. I don't deserve the Prime Minister's treatment!" Luo Yuan invited Cao Cao in and looked at everyone. He didn't know them very well and needed Cao Cao to introduce them.

Unexpectedly, someone looked at him with fiery eyes and took the initiative to say: "You may have a grudge against the nobles. I admire your methods in Jiangxia very much. I am Jia Xu, with the courtesy name Wenhe. I will introduce everyone to you later."

As he spoke, Jia Xu took Luo Yuan's hand and said, "You are very brave!"

Luo Yuan overwhelmed Jiangdong and killed tens of thousands of Zhou Yu's navy. Everyone was shocked, but the impact was far less than when he exterminated the Huang clan and other noble families in Jiangxia.

In today's world, the idea that the gentry is the foundation of the country is deeply rooted in people's minds, while the common people are nothing.

Luo Yuan destroyed the Jiangxia gentry, which terrified the gentry all over the world.

Although Jia Xu was a scholar, he studied in his youth and wandered around in his middle age, and had nothing to do with the gentry.

On the contrary, he hated the gentry very much. When he saw Luo Yuan, he found a soulmate. He hated the gentry but did not dare to say it out loud for fear that they would retaliate against him.

But Luo Yuan dared to kill openly, not caring what people in the world thought of him.

This is simply my idol.

Cao Cao glanced at Jia Xu with slight dissatisfaction. Why are you mentioning him about this matter? Which one of Sima Yi, Cheng Yu, and Xun Yu is not a scholar?
The good atmosphere was disrupted by Jia Xu.

Why are you bringing up something that is not related to the topic?
Sima Yi and others were a little dissatisfied, Cao Cao quickly smiled to ease the situation, walked into the house, waited for everyone to sit down, and then Jia Xu quickly introduced them!
Sima Yi, the future Grand Commander, is now a nobody, his status far below Xun Yu and others, and is about the same as Jia Xu.

Xu Shu was the host and had some grudges with Cao Cao, so he was busy outside preparing food for the guests. Anyway, Luo Yuan alone was enough to deal with Cao Cao.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Gong Qi came north and didn't care about Liu Bei anymore!"
