Xun Yu had read the telegram sent back from Jiangling several times, and the look on his face was even more unspeakably ugly. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info was silent for a moment, and Xun Yu asked Lu Ren: "Yihao, do you think Liu Bei will agree to these Western Regions coalition forces?" ”

Lu Ren's head was still on fire, and his voice was naturally very ugly: "How do I know? I only know that the affairs of the Western Regions Alliance have nothing to do with me, but on this basis, Liu Bei specially wrote to me to ask me, which can only show that Liu Bei is moved by the proposals of the Western Regions Alliance. ”

Xun Yu said: "Can you not be tempted?" Although Liu Bei occupied Shuzhong and Hanzhong, when it comes to national strength and military strength, it is still far from Cao Mengde. If it is according to Zhuge Kongming's Longzhong strategy, they also need to wait for the opportunity in Shuzhong to enter Chang'an. If you take Chang'an, and then have Wuguan, Tongguan and other dangerous points to defend, it is actually equivalent to owning half of the country, so it is enough to compete with Cao Mengde. It's just that according to common sense, where is Cao Mengde's advantage so easy to take advantage of? Whether Liu Bei, who has been ten years or eight years, can wait for this opportunity is unknown. Now there is such an opportunity suddenly, and I can also use the more than 100,000 troops of the Western Regions Alliance, in exchange for me, I am afraid that I am not willing to give up easily. ”

Lu Ren reluctantly calmed himself down, then looked at the message that was sent back to his hand, and muttered, "Liu Bei, this guy shouldn't be that stupid, right?" No matter how he said that he was also a hero, he should know very well that if the western part of Liangzhou was assigned to the Western Regions Alliance, it would be equivalent to giving up the key towns of Xiliang, Wuwei, Tianshui, and Anding to the Western Regions Alliance, so that even if he took Chang'an, the west of Chang'an would only be in no danger to defend. Once these Western Regions coalition forces make another move, not to mention that Chang'an will not fall into the hands of his Liu Bei, it is not good that he will lose his life in Chang'an. ”

After a pause, Lu Ren's brows also became tighter and tighter: "What's more important is that if such an important place as Chang'an is lost, these Western Regions coalition forces will have a relatively stable foothold, and they can get involved in the Central Plains if they advance, and they can also occupy the large area of fertile land west of Chang'an when they retreat." If it is combined with the Qiang and Xiongnu tribes to further gain a firm foothold, then ......"

Xun Yu pointed to the telegram in Lu Ren's hand: "Liu Bei should have thought of this, so he immediately wrote a letter to ask if the Western Regions Alliance Army was from Yihao's handwriting." ”

Lu Ren was angry at this moment: "It's my business!" No matter how stupid I am, I won't do this kind of thing to lure a wolf into the house, right? ”

Xun Yu walked to Lu Ren's desk, and his fingers knocked on Lu Ren's table very unceremoniously: "So so, Yihao, you have to write back to Liu Bei immediately, and tell him that the Western Regions Alliance has nothing to do with you." The most important thing is that you should warn Liu Bei in the letter not to think about borrowing troops and horses from the Western Regions to attack Chang'an, because once Liu Bei becomes greedy and then lures the wolf into the house, the situation in the Central Plains will be out of control. ”

But this is also what Lu Ren is most worried about. Because Lu Ren judged according to historical data, Liu Bei was precisely after taking Hanzhong, his self-confidence began to swell excessively, and then he even made stupid moves, and several things were done in a hurry. Like Guan Yu's attack on the Jingbei region, Liu Bei did not stop it in time or make any corresponding arrangements...... Of course, this also has a lot to do with Guan Yu's stubbornness, which made Liu Bei a little unable to react, and there are many problems here, so I won't talk about it here.

In addition, after Guan Yu's death, Liu Bei's attack on Sun Quan led to the defeat of Yilin, which was also a manifestation of Liu Bei's dizziness, although there were also many problems in this, but Lu Ren believed that if it was Liu Bei, whose self-confidence had not yet swelled in the early stage, he would definitely not be impatient.

In short, Lu Ren is now worried that Liu Bei will not be able to withstand the temptation of taking Chang'an now because of his inflated self-confidence, after all, this matter seems to have very big benefits. And standing in the face of such a great temptation of interests, what effect can Lu Ren's written warning to Liu Bei really play?

Thinking of this, Lu Ren hurriedly worded and expressed his concerns to Xun Yu. Xun Yu also frowned after hearing this, and finally sighed lightly and said to Lu Ren: "It seems that not only Cao Mengde's side, but also Liu Bei's side, you have to move a little." ”

Lu Ren waved his hand and said, "Xun Gong, if you have anything to say, just say it directly." To be honest, the inexplicable and shocking news in the past few days has been one after another, and I, Lu Ren, am not a good strategist, so my mind is already in a mess at this time, and I can't think of a strategy or anything. ”

Xun Yu's eyes drifted to the map on the side wall, and he sighed lightly in a smile: "My nephew, who is six years older than me, is also in his early sixties this year. Originally, I wanted him to live a comfortable life in Nanzhong and retire with peace of mind, but now I have to let him move too. Yoshiho, do you understand what I mean? ”

Xun Yu said it so clearly, how could Lu Ren not understand what Xun Yu meant? In fact, Lu Ren stretched out his hand to Nanzhong in the early years, and originally had the intention of deterring and containing Liu Bei when necessary, but the news received one after another in the past few days made Lu Ren's brain like a mess, and he didn't expect to go to Nanzhong at once. Now that Xun Yu was reminded like this, Lu Ren naturally reacted immediately.

By the way, Lu Ren extended his hand to Nanzhong relatively early, and it has been almost ten years now. And because Lu Ren has always adopted a soft knife strategy against the Nanzhong side, all the departments in Nanzhong led by Meng Shu and Zhu Rong are happy and convinced of Lu Ren. That kind of relationship, Lu Ren didn't dare to say that he was their lord, but no matter how he said it, he also had a little bit of the meaning of the leader of the tribal alliance. If there is anything to mobilize Meng Huo and these people, Lu Ren can also mobilize them.

Taking a step back, now Lu Ren's purpose is just to ask Meng Shu and them to bring people over to help wave the flag and shout and bluff, whether it will really fight I believe that Xun You's ability can be completely grasped, so Lu Ren is still more at ease in this regard.

At that moment, Lu Ren didn't talk nonsense, and immediately asked Xun Yu to draft a telegram to be sent to Jiangling and Nanzhong...... Not to mention that Lu Ren is not very good at writing or anything, let's just say this, Xun Yu's brain is much clearer than Lu Ren, and what he writes will naturally be more organized and clear than what Lu Ren writes. To put it mildly, Lu Ren didn't want to cause bad results because of some text mistakes. This kind of funny-looking thing has not happened in history.

Xun Yu was writing with a pen over there, but Lu Ren was gradually calming down at this time. After a few more glances at the map on the wall, Lu Ren's eyes narrowed, and then he sat down to write a letter. However, Lu Ren's letter was intended to be written to Zhuge Liang, because Lu Ren felt that at this time, the most sober person in Liu Bei's camp might be Zhuge Liang, and the most important thing was that Zhuge Liang was quite similar to Xun Yu in many places, to be precise, these two people both had the same ideal of wanting to revive the Han Dynasty, so Lu Ren believed that Zhuge Liang would start from the overall situation and would definitely write a letter to dissuade Liu Bei immediately.

Similarly, Lu Ren also thought that it might not be of much use to simply warn Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang in writing, because Zhuge Liang can have a time period of "If the law is filial piety, he will not teach the lord to go east", to put it bluntly, Liu Bei does not have as complete trust in Zhuge Liang as later generations think, and he may not be able to persuade Liu Bei to say. So Lu Ren felt that he had to help Zhuge Liang add some codes, and this code...... This is easy to solve, and the movement in Nanzhong may not be able to scare Liu Bei, but on the Jingzhou side, if Lu Ren shows a little bias towards Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, Lu Ren still doesn't believe that Liu Bei will not sweat on his head.

It didn't take long for several letters to be sent. When he arrived at Jiangling and other places, the intelligence department arranged by Lu Ren over there naturally had a way to solve the later matters, and there was no need for Lu Ren to worry about it, so Lu Ren's eyes looked back at the map again. Somehow, Lu Ren always had a faint uneasiness in his heart, because the timing of this operation of the Western Regions Alliance was also too well grasped, to the point that it was unbelievably good.

Don't say anything else, just talk about the so-called 36 countries of the Western Regions, what kind of countries are they? To put it nicely, it's a country, but to put it badly, it's a bunch of scattered tribes, okay? There seems to be no reason why such a bunch of tribal states could unite so easily, right? What's more, not only did they unite, not only did they move out the artillery, but how did they complete the preparations for sending troops? Is it really the same as the nomads, who shouted here to rob, and all the tribes followed? With Lu Ren mixed up for so many years, his understanding of the style of those nomads is definitely not so simple and easy, right? It is said that there are more than 100,000 troops, just eating and drinking along the way is enough to choke, not to mention that they also carry a large number of weapons and equipment, which is not in line with the nomadic herdsman's style of acting, is it good?

Thinking of this, Lu Ren felt that the so-called alliance of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions should have a backbone that could unite them all. But to deal with the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions......

In a flash, Lu Ren's finger pointed at Guishuang on the map, and he secretly exclaimed in his heart: "Could it really be that Guishuang is making trouble inside?" Calculating the time, this is the most powerful period of the Kushan Empire in Central Asia, and it is relatively close to the 36 countries of the Western Regions. On the other hand, the relationship between Guishan and Anxi is good, it belongs to the kind of relationship that although there is a little friction, there will be no big disputes, in other words, it is impossible for Guishan to develop to the west, and it will be easier to expand the territory in the east, and it is just at this time that the Han's control over the Western Regions has been so low that it can't be lower......"

Thinking of this, Lu Ren remembered another thing, that is, the caravan that had rested before arrived in Yizhou to negotiate oil trade with Lu Ren. At that time, the messenger of rest talked about the regent queen who rested in peace, and Lu Ren didn't pay much attention to it at that time, thinking that it was just some pearls in the sea in China. And the rest is so far away, it shouldn't affect the Huaxia side. But now that he thinks about it, Lu Ren's head is sweating again:

"Yes, don't underestimate these pearls in the sea! These people are from Huaxia's side, and the people who can get the reuse of Kasi Yili and help Kasi Yili stabilize the regime so quickly are definitely not idle people. Such a person, with his own understanding of the situation in China, will make a corresponding analysis, and at the same time grasp some situations, then ...... The Queen Regent who rests in peace will reuse it, and will Guishan be the same reuse of some such people? And if Guishuang had wanted to fight Huaxia for a long time, he would have reused these talents more than resting. Damn it! The intelligence work that has been done on the rest and Kushan has not been enough! Otherwise, how could I be so confused at this time? Which grandson came up with this idea for Guishan!? If I get caught, I'll have to pick your skin! ”

Thinking so in my heart, people are helpless. And what can be done now is to call Chen Yiyi immediately, and ask Chen Yiyi to arrange a caravan to go to Guishan and rest immediately, and strengthen the intelligence collection of rest and rest in the name of trade.

————————————————————

Not to mention that Lu Ren is in a hurry in Yizhou, let's turn my eyes back to Chang'an.

The battle for Hanzhong between Liu Bei and Lao Cao had passed for a while by this time, and by this time, Lao Cao in Chang'an, Liu Bei in Hanzhong, and the Western Regions coalition army in the west of Liangzhou had formed a three-way situation.

Lao Cao is actively and nervously preparing for war, Liu Bei is hesitant to wait and see in Hanzhong, as for the Western Regions Alliance...... These guys are burning, killing and looting!

Originally, the Western Regions Alliance Army was not a wealthy family, and with such a coalition army, it can almost be said that no one expected to be able to occupy the Western Regions region of the Han Dynasty, so when they got to the ground, they didn't get rich first?

And at this time, there is a problem, that is, if it is under normal circumstances, its military supplies will definitely not last too long, and it will generally be withdrawn after a fuss. But now, because they have artillery and other siege weapons, they have easily broken through several important towns in Liangzhou, resulting in a lot of the military supplies that Lao Cao Tun has accumulated in the Liangzhou area have fallen into the hands of the Western Regions Alliance Army, which gives these Western Regions Alliance troops the capital to stay in the Liangzhou area for a long time.

Here is the key to say, at that time the area west of Chang'an was a fertile field, Lao Cao in the defeat of Ma Chao, Han Sui was immediately in the Liangzhou area to vigorously promote the tuntian system, and later Zhuge Liang in Wuzhang Yuan when he was not also in this area of the tuntian to grow grain, want to save the difficulty of transporting grain in Shu? In short, under Lao Cao's arrangement, Liangzhou has had abundant grain storage in the past few years. Originally, these were the military rations of the Shuobian soldiers arranged by Lao Cao, but now...... Alas!
