Volume 3 Chapter 312 Borrowing the Pit Man
However, it was said that the envoys who quietly entered Yangon City at that time were nothing more than expressing such a meaning to Gan Ning and Chen Li, saying that they were threatened by the rest, and they had no choice but to send troops to go out with the rest of the fleet, but they did not want to be enemies or wars with Lu Ren.
Therefore, they deliberately slowed down the voyage on the grounds of ship performance along the way, and did not follow the rest of the vanguard fleet to Yangon at the first time, and then they received the news that the rest of the vanguard fleet was defeated by Rangoon. After repeated considerations, they still decided not to be an enemy of Lu Ren, and they would rather drag their feet when they were about to fight.
Supposedly, this should be a good thing, and there is nothing wrong with it, right? In that era, there was never a shortage of wall grass that saw the wind and made the rudder, so it was not unusual to encounter this kind of thing. But the conditions they put forward next revealed some information, and Lu Ren laughed precisely because he saw these conditions.
They asked Lu Ren to give them a lot of money, food, and property, and even a lot of weapons and equipment...... According to Gan Ning and Chen Li's statement in the telegram, the envoy's attitude seems to be quite horizontal, and according to their statement, they are towards Lu Ren, that is, they are helping Lu Ren, so of course Lu Ren has to give some blood to comfort them.
And the lines implied under these bright surfaces are that if you give me benefits, I won't help you fight in peace, otherwise our city-states will have tens of thousands of troops combined, and if you help you fight Yangon, Rangoon will definitely have to be lost.
Then these city-states actually expressed their "hope" that Lu Ren would send some personnel to their city-states to become servants under their gods, and the required personnel must also be all girls...... Having said this, it is not difficult to understand. Because the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty have always had a strategy of making peace with the outside world, and at the same time, the "Han girl" often becomes one of the gifts in peace and friendship with China or diplomacy, and these small city gangs obviously know this, so they put forward such conditions.
If it's just like this, these small city-states who don't know whether they are alive or dead actually offer to let ...... Oh, and here they say it politely, using the word "please". But they wanted to "invite" Lu Lan to go to them...... Tour? No! According to them, they wanted to "invite" Lu Lan to become the highest level of "divine servant", and only performed songs and dances for the gods in some of their festivals.
Lu Ren was angry when he saw this. Let Lu Lan become the so-called "divine servant" in the past? That's not! The caste system on Ah San's side has been around for a long time, and some of the so-called female "divine servants" are, to put it bluntly, ...... That's it, let's not talk about it. Now you guys ask Lao Tzu for Han girls, and even ask Lao Tzu for Lan Yatou to be a god servant? Are you guys getting water in your heads?
Looking back at the conditions put forward by Ah San, as well as the attitudes of the other party that Gan Ning and Chen Li especially marked in the telegram, Lu Ren's previous sneer gradually changed back to a sneer. And after reading it, Lu Ren habitually handed the telegram to Xun Yu.
"Xun Gong, do you have any ideas?"
Xun Yu read the telegram carefully, and also coldly threw out a four-word comment: "Bluff!" ”
Lu Ren shrugged his shoulders, while Xun Yu put the telegram back on the table and sneered: "Yihao, I finally understand why you have always been so disgusted with those gang Ah San." Some people like this really don't know what to say about them. ”
"This gang of sons and daughters has always been like this."
Lu Ren replied, but he secretly said in his heart: "Don't you know that these sons and Ah San always feel that they are very capable after 1,800 years, and they also feel that there are people behind them, so they always oppose our Huaxia, but they don't know that the things they did just made them clowns, and they were also defrauded of their pockets by the so-called back-of-the-scenes supporters." But it's really annoying to watch. ”
Of course, Xun Yu didn't know what Lu Ren was thinking, so he just frowned and said, "But these Ah San dare to make these requests to you, and they do have something to rely on, otherwise they wouldn't dare to ask you about this." ”
Lu Ren said: "Maybe." However, they are typical of wanting to be a wall grass and desperately trying to reap benefits. ”
Xun Yu said: "But they do have such conditions. Their location is closer to Yangon, so it's easier for them to do something about it. Also......"
Saying that, Xun Yu walked to the map, raised his finger and pointed: "These Ah San can now be said to be sandwiched between us, Guishuang, and Anxi, if their strategy is chosen properly, they can take advantage of Yihao's battle with Guishuang and Anxie, and gradually accumulate their own strength, and then Yihao and Guishuang and Anxie will lose both sides." So I think that's the purpose of their secret communication with Yoshiho. ”
Lu Ren nodded heavily after hearing this, but his gaze drifted to the message. After thinking about it again, Lu Ren smiled: "Then Xun Gong, you said that these Ah San dare to make such a shameless request to me, do you think that I, Lu Ren, am far away from the Central Asia-Pacific region, and I will not have an advantage in the battle with Guishan and Anxi, so I will spend a lot of money to cooperate with them?" ”
Xun Yu nodded: "I can only explain it like this." Perhaps, in their opinion, if Yihao wants to gain a foothold in Central Asia, it is indispensable to use their troops and territory, and it is reasonable for them to make demands on you. But in some ways, it's not wrong for them to think like this, if Yoshihiro can really get the support of these local natives, it will be much easier in many things. ”
Lu Ren said: "But these sons are really not good birds, anyway, according to what I know about them, I look down on their character." I even dare to say that if I really give them what they asked for, then we can say it when the war is going well, but if something goes wrong, these Ah San will sell us anytime and anywhere. ”
Xun Yu shrugged his shoulders: "It doesn't matter, you won't agree to be anti-justice Hao." Don't talk about you, the old man will never approve of Yihao, you agreeing to these requests. If they ask for less money, food, and property, and don't want Han girls or Lan girls, I would suggest that Yihao give you some money and food to buy them, but ......"
Lu Ren said: "So, these Ah San think that they have the power to borrow, and they can use this to open their mouths to my lion, but they don't know that I am ready to point the finger at them." Seriously, if they hadn't come to do this, we'd have had to think a little bit about the excuse for using troops against them. But now they have come to us like this, and they have given them a justifiable reason to use troops against them. ”
Xun Yu smiled slightly: "Yihao, what are you going to do?" ”
Lu Ren replied with a sinister sneer: "Forward this telegram to the printing department, and then post it publicly." Well...... Xun Gong, many of us here don't know much about Ah San's affairs, so you can bother with some annotations on Ah San. In addition, remember to emphasize that these remote and small countries think we are easy to bully, so they have the courage to make so many unreasonable demands on us. And these demands of theirs are insulting the majesty of my great man. ”
Xun Yu's face was also cold: "This is natural!" Originally, in terms of how to treat and use Ah Sanyi, I also wanted to advise you not to be so anxious to use troops and play more vertical and horizontal techniques. But after reading this telegram, the old man was really angry. ”
Lu Ren thought about it again and added: "Xun Gong, remember to keep the message word for word. In addition, when commenting, remember to write clearly what kind of humble existence the so-called 'divine servant' of the three is actually a kind of humble existence. ”
Xun Yu raised his eyebrows: "Why?" ”
Lu Ren said: "They think we are easy to bully, so they want to encroach on our Huaxia girls who are like flowers and jade, can we bear such a thing?" To put it mildly, why should our girls who live so well be their slaves? Who are they to make such unreasonable demands on us? And it's not impossible to make these Ah San obedient, but before you want them to be obedient, you have to beat them up!! ”
Xun Yu thought about it and nodded to Lu Ren. In Xun Yu's view, this matter should be similar to "snatching people's wives and daughters", which can easily arouse public anger. Then Lu Ren instructed Xun Yu to spend more time on this matter, which naturally makes sense.
However, what Xun Yu didn't expect, or what Xun Yu thought of but didn't want to think about it, was actually a sentence that Lu Ren secretly muttered to himself after Xun Yu left the study: "This gang of Ah San, who dare to provoke our Lan girl?" They don't know that Lan Yatou is the spiritual idol of the people here here? And the power of the role of idols, I'm afraid it's not what you can imagine now, right? ”
————————————————————
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
Now use this sentence to describe what kind of reaction the military and civilian people under his command are after Lu Ren made that telegram public. Lu Ren has been running Yizhou for more than 20 years, and has always paid great attention to cultivating the people's sense of belonging and pride, and the cultivation has been quite successful, at least the military and civilian people under Lu Ren's command are proud of their own prosperity. Now suddenly some clown-like guys jumped out to spread wild, can the soldiers and civilians under Lu Ren's command get used to it?
And what Lu Ren didn't say to Xun Yuming at that time also formed public anger among the people. These Ah San are really bold, our goddess Lan! What the hell do you want our Goddess Lan to go to you as a so-called divine servant? Have you never died, so you don't know how to write the word dead!?
In short, the reaction of the people was quickly sent to Lu Ren, and Lu Ren kept sneering after reading it, saying that the so-called NO. That's probably it, Die, right?
Xun Yu asked Lu Ren at this time how he was going to treat Ah San, and Lu Ren's answer was: "Don't they want to be the grass on the wall and then pick up the cheap?" This kind of bad trick, I don't need Xun Gong to make a move, I can easily resolve it. ”
"Yoshiho, what do you think?"
Lu Ren said: "It's also fully open in Yangon!" Lao Tzu is not uncommon with their little people, not to mention that if he is hooked up with them, he will be betrayed by them every minute. Rather than be sold by them when the time comes, I should sell them first. ”
Xun Yu was happy and handed a copy of the order that had been prepared to Lu Ren. Lu Ren looked at it and said with a smile: "It seems that Xun Gong, you and I have gone together." ”
Xun Yu said: "Ah San wants to meet the source left and right, so we will force them into a desperate situation." These Ah San, playing this kind of scheming in front of you and me? Then let them understand what it means to be cocooned. ”
Lu Ren was also happy, and looked down at Ling Wen again.
“…… I have shown generosity in the power of the state, regardless of the sin of being coerced by you. However, you have not made an inch, but you are vain asking for rewards and want to ask for hundreds of millions of dollars, how bad is it...... If you want to be attached, you should first lead the army to attack your long-cherished enemy Guishan to show your sincerity, but if you have military merits, I will reward you from the Son of Heaven ......"
Such an order is really a bit ...... Well, it can be said that the scolding is magnificent, and Lu Ren can't help but secretly applaud Xun Yu's writing in his heart. In addition, Lu Ren is also a little happy, because he has known Xun Yu for almost 30 years, and basically he has never heard Xun Yu scold, but if Xun Yu really starts scolding, Lu Ren deeply understands what is called the real "national scolding", this Nima is scolding people almost all the time, but you can't find a dirty word. Chen Lin's essay to Lao Cao at the beginning, that's just that, right?
After reading the whole article again, Lu Ren picked up the big seal on the table and pressed it again and again......
————————————————————
Gan Ning and Chen Li had been waiting for Lu Ren's reply, and when they received Lu Ren's callback, and there was also an encrypted message that only the two of them could decipher, informing them of what to do next, and they both laughed.
Chen Lijiu has been in Yangon for a long time and has a certain understanding of Ah San, and Gan Ning is simply a violent temper, so when he listened to the requirements made by Ah San's envoys and saw the arrogant attitude of those envoys, these two almost didn't directly cut down these envoys on the spot.
The reason why he didn't cut it was mainly because Chen Li had a certain sense of the overall situation, and Gan Ning was also in his fifties at this time, and his temper was controlled as he grew older. Otherwise, these three envoys would have been thrown into the sea to feed the fish and birds.
The two of them had summed up at the time, and although the demands made by the three envoys were excessive, in general there was still room for bargaining. If it is possible to negotiate the Asans to restrain themselves and ask for less, then it is still feasible to spend some money to get some support from the South Indian region. If you look at it from Lu Ren's point of view, this is also something worth considering, so Chen Li and Gan Ning asked Lu Ren in the telegram if they could consider bargaining with Ah San. However, as far as these two people's personal views on Ah San are concerned, they really don't want to have anything to do with these wall grasses.
Now Lu Ren's call back told them what to do, and it also showed a rather tough attitude. Chen Li may still be a little hesitant, but for Gan Ning, it is very much in line with Gan Ning's appetite.
Therefore, in the next day, Gan Ning and Chen Li made an appointment to meet with the three envoys again, and Lu Ren's order was also heavily smashed on the three envoys. On the other hand, there was news that the three envoys of Ah San secretly communicated to Lu Ren, and they were also deliberately released by Gan Ning and Chen Li to Guishuang's side......
