The day had gone into the night, and the moon was bright and the stars were scarce.

Lu Ren has been busy all day today, and he is sitting on the deck resting at this moment, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and people are also in a daze.

Minchan came to Lu Ren's side and handed a list in her hand to Lu Ren: "This is the person selected according to your previous requirements, you can take a look." However, some of the people on this list are still in Yizhou, and it will be some time before they arrive in Yangon. ”

Lu Renjian looked at the list, nodded and said, "It's okay, anyway, the Roman envoys are going to be divided into two and then go back to Rome separately, and the people from Yizhou will just follow the second batch of Roman envoys to Rome." ”

Saying that, Lu Ren took a closer look at the list again, and sighed lightly: "These people on the list are all elites of the younger generation here, but it's a pity that a group of them were killed by Cao Pi, a little bastard, at that time, otherwise...... Alas! Forget it, let's not talk about it. ”

The total number of people on the list was about one hundred and thirty people, and they were sent by Lu Ren to Rome...... Well, in modern parlance, a "military advisory group" has been created.

This was one of Lu Ren's suggestions to Paleus, that is, Lu Ren sent personnel to help Rome carry out tactical guidance and reform, and Paleus, as the chief diplomat appointed by the Roman emperor, still had the power to agree to this kind of thing, of course, he agreed immediately. Anyway, for him, it is of course good that these people sent by Lu Ren can be accepted by the Roman side after they arrive in Rome, and if they are not accepted by the Roman side, they can also be treated as an ordinary diplomatic mission.

On the other hand, of course, Lu Ren hopes that the Roman side can improve the relevant tactics under his own reminder, and then delay the development of rest as much as possible, but if the Roman side is still so rigid, Lu Ren actually has no better way. That's the way it is, if you try to do it, you may still have some hope, but if you don't, there is no hope at all.

On the other hand, as far as Lu Ren's direct subordinates are concerned, they actually have no actual combat experience until now, after all, Lu Ren's territory has never had any real war, so Lu Ren also hopes that these young people who came out of the military academy in Yizhou can go to the real battlefield to hone and baptize.

In the previous battle against the Western Regions Alliance, Lu Ren sent such personnel to Cao Pi and Liu Bei, but unfortunately because of an accident and Cao Pi's death, Lu Ren lost a group of excellent young talents who had been honed and baptized, which really made Lu Ren feel distressed at that time. But Lu Ren knew that he couldn't just give up just because something like this happened, and there would still be successor young people coming out of the Yizhou Military Academy, so as long as there was an opportunity, he still had to let these young people go to the battlefield to be tempered and baptized.

And this time the "military advisory group" sent to Rome also has such an intention. However, Lu Ren is not stupid, and he knows very well that he can't send all the recruits over, so now some of the people selected by Lu Ren are those who have participated in the battle against the Western Regions Alliance Army in Chang'an. These personnel not only have experience in this area, but also the Western Regions Coalition Army is also based on cavalry, and the cavalry tactics can be regarded as the same as rest, in other words, these personnel also have good experience in cavalry combat, so it will be more convenient to deal with some problems on the Roman side.

All in all, just this list, Lu Ren also spent a lot of thought. And some other things, I won't talk about it here. As for the Roman envoys, Paleus would return to Rome first, while Hermes would stay with Lu Ren temporarily, on the one hand, to wait for Lu Ren's other group of personnel, and on the other hand, he would take his five hundred elite Roman soldiers here to receive the "devil training" arranged by Lu Ren......

For some human accidents, Lu Ren is too clear. Let's put it this way, the Roman tactical method has not changed for almost hundreds of years, which can only show that the Romans at that time had their rigidity, and if the "military advisers" of the Lu Ren faction in the past were just talking there, what role could they play? Therefore, Lu Ren had to train the five hundred Roman soldiers of Hermes fiercely, and it was the kind that was drilled to the death, so as to let them "be reborn" in a short time, and then let them return to Rome with the updated tactics, and let them prove something to the Roman side, so that the time would be convincing.

These are Lu Ren's main purposes, in addition to these main things, of course, there are some corners, such as Lu Ren specially arranged a few chefs to go over...... If you don't arrange it, you can't do it! Affected by the fact that the Roman soldiers could nibble on steamed buns and pickles in their cells last time, Lu Ren hurriedly questioned some members of the song and dance troupe who had gone to Rome with Lu Lan before, and then he knew that they were really unaccustomed to eating in Rome, after all, they could not enjoy such a high treatment as Lu Lan.

This is also fortunate that Lu Lan's song and dance troupe itself has a chef with the troupe, and he can use the ingredients from Rome to make better food, otherwise it would be strange that the ordinary members of the song and dance troupe are not hungry! And there are no special chefs in the "advisory group" arranged by Lu Ren this time, so Lu Ren has to make up a few for these young people.

This matter is a bit off-topic, but for Lu Ren, spreading our Chinese culture through food is also one of the very effective means. To put it mildly, it's called "Grab your stomachs first, then your hearts." In the modern society of later generations, the Western world has always had a lot of misunderstandings about Chinese food and cuisine, so that they have a lot of misconceptions about China. It was only later that the influence of China on the world pattern became more and more great, and only then did Westerners gradually understand what the real Chinese diet was.

(PS One sentence, in the eyes of the bottle, Westerners are really not as good as us Chinese people can eat.) The old godmother has actually become a luxury in their eyes? A small bag of Sichuan hot sauce can make thousands of people line up to grab it? The bottle said that the three views almost collapsed. But think about it the other way around, it's my Chinese food! ）

These don't talk too much, just say that Minchan sat down next to Lu Ren, first turned her head to look around, and then asked, "Where is Xiaolan?" ”

Lu Ren put down the list and looked up at the sky again: "In the communication cabin." Since the last time she passed the interrogation with Wan'er, she has been thinking about the changes in Wan'er, so she really wants to talk to Wan'er again. It's just that it's been a long time since that time, and Wan'er hasn't communicated with me or Xiaolan again. ”

Minchan couldn't help frowning: "Will there be any bad changes?" I remember that before that, you could still talk to Wan'er once in a while. ”

Lu Ren sighed bitterly: "I'm afraid that the change is not ordinary. ”

He let out another long sigh, and only after a long silence did he say, "I tell you this, I don't know if you can understand...... The previous Wan'er is a mixture of real memories and false memories, which can be understood as two inseparable twins, and when we see one, we will definitely see the other. But after Xiaolan and Wan'er met last time, Wan'er's two memories were no longer mixed together, but separated, which can be understood as two inseparable twins, one stayed at home and didn't come out, and the one who would come out and meet us was only the other. ”

At this point, Lu Ren shook his head a little helplessly: "Wan'er's original true memory must have been used by that bastard, so it is blurred." And Wan'er's original personality ...... When you were in Xudu, you didn't spend much time with Wan'er, but you should also know what kind of character Wan'er was originally. ”

Minchan nodded: "Very weak and kind." Sometimes it even makes people feel that anyone can bully her at will. ”

Lu Ren said: "That's right, Wan'er is such a character, and she will definitely not break out easily until the most critical time." It's just that once she breaks out, or someone of her personality breaks out, it's not a joke. So Wan'er wasn't afraid of death at that time, and even before she died, she was still worried about me...... Hey, that's a long way off. What I want to say is actually that under normal circumstances, Wan'er's original weak character, where can she compete for that colder character under false memories? So I dare to say that what occupies the main body of Wan'er now can only be that false memory. And Wan'er hasn't communicated with me or Xiaolan again for a while, which is actually a proof. ”

Minchan nodded as if she didn't understand: "Can I understand that the honest, soft and weak Wan'er was locked in prison by another cold and tough Wan'er and couldn't get out?" ”

Lu Ren also nodded: "That's pretty much what it means." ”

Hearing this, Minchan fell silent, and only after a while did she say to Lu Ren: "Then in this way, I am afraid that this confrontation between you and Wan'er will no longer be avoidable." Lu Ren said: "Actually, it has long been unavoidable, because this has already involved the war between me and Anxi. And once many things have risen to a certain level, then the person who made the decision in the first place will no longer be able to stop it. ”

Minchan was silent for a while, then fell into Lu Ren's arms and whispered, "Yihao, you must be very uncomfortable in your heart, right?" ”

Lu Ren smiled bitterly: "What can I do if I am uncomfortable?" Just because it's uncomfortable, then don't you go to this battle? And I know very well in my heart that the more I evade these things, the more fruitless it will be, only by gritting my teeth and fighting this battle until Wan'er is completely defeated, and then she is captured, then I can and have a chance to save her...... You just need to know this, don't say it too much, otherwise others will think that I am fighting this battle for a woman. Although there are some reasons for this, this battle has long been not as simple as just for one woman. ”

Minchan shook her head: "How can I be so stupid?" But as a woman, I really envy Wan'er, it was so before, and it is the same now. By the way, Yihao, if I were accidentally caught one day, would you ......?"

Lu Ren angrily grabbed a few times on Minchan's plump chest, and scolded with a smile: "You are not allowed to make such assumptions!" Do you know how hard it would be for me if that happened? ”

Minchan laughed a few times but didn't say anything more, just put her body close to Lu Ren a few points. After a long time passed like this, Minchan suddenly asked, "So what are you going to do next?" ”

Lu Ren said: "I'm also thinking about this problem, and after thinking about it, I realize that I can't always let the Roman side take the initiative to continue to contain Anxi, after all, diplomacy is a thing, all forces will first consider their own interests, so it's a bit unwise to put hope completely on the Roman side, not to mention that the Roman side has suffered a lot of losses in the current confrontation with Anxi, and it is a little difficult to fight." So I think I should take the initiative to do something here, so as to further mobilize the extreme strength of the Roman side. ”

Lu Ren said: "Actually, it has long been unavoidable, because this has already involved the war between me and Anxi. And once many things have risen to a certain level, then the person who made the decision in the first place will no longer be able to stop it. ”

Minchan was silent for a while, then fell into Lu Ren's arms and whispered, "Yihao, you must be very uncomfortable in your heart, right?" ”

Lu Ren smiled bitterly: "What can I do if I am uncomfortable?" Just because it's uncomfortable, then don't you go to this battle?
