————————————————————

In the eighteenth year of Jian'an, at the end of November in winter.

Lu Ren was talking to Xun Yu about something in the study at this time, and suddenly the attendant handed over a telegram that had just arrived to Lu Ren. Lu Ren frowned after reading it, handed the telegram to Xun Yu and said, "What should come will come after all, and we can't stop it." ”

Xun Yu actually had some psychological preparations, but he still took the telegram and looked at it carefully, and then shook his head helplessly: "Cao Mengde is still in the position of the public in the end, and now he is mostly preparing for the establishment of the Wei State, right?" ”

It may be necessary to explain it here. The titles of the Han Dynasty were divided into five from high to low, such as duke, hou, uncle, son, and male, among which the last four were only food yips, but if they were promoted to the duke, they could establish their own country, which meant that they became the vassal state of the Han Dynasty and had their own independent sovereignty, etc., and the Han court was the suzerain. The general meaning is similar to the relationship between the Western Zhou Dynasty and various feudal states. It's just that at this time, what power does the Han court have at all? If Lao Cao really wanted to, he could destroy the Han Court with his hands. Of course, Lao Cao never did that in his life.

But he said that Lu Ren looked at Xun Yu's melancholy look, and said in his heart, Old man Xun, you should be content! Do you know that because of the fact that I, Lu Ren, intervened and stirred up a mess in this, Lao Cao's official proclamation of the public has been a few months later than the original history?

In the original history, Lao Cao came to present Emperor Liu Xie's letter of appointment to the Duke of Wei in May of the eighteenth year of Jian'an, and then began to establish the temple of Wei in July, that is to say, Lao Cao's formal establishment of Wei was in July of the eighteenth year of Jian'an.

But now, it was not until November of the eighteenth year of Jian'an that Lao Cao got the appointment letter of Emperor Liu Xie, and Lao Cao wanted to build a temple to officially establish the country, and he could only get it after the first month of next year. In other words, Lu Ren has postponed Lao Cao's official matter for about half a year. With Lu Ren's current strength, it's not easy to do this step, okay?

However, it was naturally impossible for Lu Ren to say these words to Xun Yu, so he just smiled casually, took a match and lit the telegram, and then threw it into the paper burner on the table. Xun Yu looked at the flames in the paper burner, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Yihao, after Meng De became the public, how are you going to deal with it?" ”

Lu Ren said: "He calls his father, and I do my thing." However, there is a letter, and I can only write 'Cao Chengxiang' to him, but not 'Wei Gong', which can be regarded as my non-admitting to this matter. ”

Xun Yu shook his head: "Yihao, don't be rash." Meng De is in the north, and his strength is huge, and if you have a conflict with him over this matter, it will be very detrimental to what you are going to do. ”

Lu Renle was happy: "It seems that Xun Gong, you have already seen the matter." ”

Xun Yu smiled bitterly: "If you can't see it, you have to see it!" The matter has come to this point, do you want me to run back to him Cao Mengde, and then die in front of him? Rather than this, it's better to follow you and fight again, maybe then you can really stop him Cao Mengde from doing what he might do next. ”

Lu Ren smiled, saw that the pieces of paper in the paper burning bucket were basically burned, poured the residual tea at hand and doused the embers, and then turned sideways to check the map hanging on the wall. And when he saw this, Xun Yu naturally followed and looked at the map, and the two of them didn't say a word for a long, long time.

I don't know how long it has passed, Lu Ren suddenly asked out loud: "Xun Gong, if I want to take Liaoxi, where should I start?" ”

Xun Yu said: "You are knowingly asking again." If you want to take Liaoxi, you should first take Liucheng. ”

Lu Ren said: "Didn't I ask you to confirm again?" But now the problem is that I can't get my hand out there yet, right? ”

Xun Yu said: "It can't be stretched." Cao Mengde received the edict of the Son of Heaven and was planning the founding of the country in Yecheng, and the troops, money and food were also concentrated in the hinterland of Hebei. If you make any noise at this time, so that Cao Mengde feels that something is wrong, he can immediately concentrate his forces and go out of Shanhaiguan to deal with you. Once this happens, you will be easily driven out of Liaoxi by him, and it will be difficult to regain a foothold in Liaoxi later. ”

Lu Ren nodded and said, "Yes, there are some things that are really urgent...... Xun Gong, when do you say Lao Cao will go to fight Hanzhong? ”

"Hanzhong?"

Xun Yu was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, and then thought about the map for a while: "Liu Bei has been in a stalemate with Liu Zhang in Shu for the past two years, but as long as there is no accident, Liu Zhang's defeat is only a matter of time." If Liu Bei occupies Shuzhong, it will really become a confidant for Cao Mengde...... I won't be planning for too long, Cao Mengde will send troops to Hanzhong and then enter Shuzhong. But on the other hand, he had been stationed in the army at the mouth of the river for nearly a year, and the soldiers who did not retire until the summer of this year had their military strength, money, and food had been reduced, and now they were preparing to build the Wei State, and there were many things in all aspects, so they could not send troops in a short period of time. ”

Lu Ren nodded again after listening to the analysis. According to the original history, Lao Cao was founded in July of the 18th year of Jian'an, and after being busy with a pass, he sent troops to fight Sun Quan in July of the 19th year of Jian'an, but returned in vain, and then sent troops to Hanzhong to fight Zhang Lu in March of the 20th year of Jian'an.

If this time is used, that is, Lao Cao needs about a year to do a good job at home, the next question is whether Lao Cao will beat Sun Quan again. If Sun Quan is still beaten, Lu Ren will not be able to do anything against Liaoxi, because it is more convenient for Lao Cao to withdraw his troops back to Hebei from Sun Quan, and Lu Ren will not have enough time to stabilize the newly occupied territory in Liaoxi. But if he goes to fight Hanzhong, Lu Ren will have relatively plenty of time.

Therefore, Lu Ren's plan in his heart was to start a formal attack on Liaoxi when Lao Cao Bing sent Hanzhong, and before that, it was better not to make any big moves. Of course, it is still beneficial for Lu Ren to delay a little longer at this time, that is, it can allow Murong Ziying and Tuoba Yu to gather a little more strength in western Liaoning, and at the same time, Lu Ren can also use this to gather more people's hearts in western Liaoning, and the newly planted land in the coming spring can store more grain and grass......

————————————————————

At the same time, the port of Chrysanthemum Island in western Liaoning.

"Ziying, this is the last batch of supplies this year, you have to put it away, don't be robbed by those Karasuma tribes. I'm not going to come back until around February next year. ”

Murong Ziying took the list handed over by Zhao Yu, and handed it to the entourage around him to count the order, but his eyes were fixed on the musket carried by the guards beside Zhao Yu, and the expectation in his eyes was even more expressive:

"Sister Yu, see if you can ...... this weapon"

Zhao Yu immediately laughed and shook his head: "Don't even think about it!" There are currently less than 4,000 of these 'Jian'an-style' muskets in Yizhou, and I have been following my husband for more than ten years, and I have only been able to get more than 500 guns, which is all the meat of my husband's heart. Also, Sir said that you will definitely covet these muskets, so Sir asked me to tell you when you asked about the muskets, that is, Sir always has to keep something at the bottom of the box in his hand. ”

Murong Ziying was stunned when she heard this, and then smiled awkwardly at Zhao Yu. Although Lu Ren's words relayed by Zhao Yu just now sounded like a joke, Murong Ziying understood that this was actually a warning given to him by Lu Ren, which meant that you kid should not have any crooked thoughts. If it really comes to a certain point, I, Lu Ren, will always have something in my hand that can deal with you.

To be honest, Murong Ziying's character is still very good, but the problem is that Murong Ziying is a young man who has ideas and wants to achieve things, and to put it bluntly, he has so much ambition, and Liu Ye and Xun Yu have reminded Lu Ren of this problem, and Lu Ren himself has some numbers in his heart. The method taken by Lu Ren in this regard is that I will give you what you want, but I will also beat you plainly.

For Murong Ziying, Lu Ren was really an unfathomable person. For Murong Ziying, don't look at Lu Ren's usual giggling and not having a positive shape, but if Lu Ren is really provoked, it is difficult to predict what the consequences will be!

But then again, Lu Ren was really good to Murong Ziying. From the initial acceptance, to the later sending Murong Ziying to study at Yizhou College, and now giving Murong Ziying strong support, Murong Ziying is quite grateful to Lu Ren.

In fact, before Murong Ziying returned to Liaoxi, Lu Ren also said very frankly to Murong Ziying, saying that you Murong Ziying is ambitious, this is nothing, a manly man can only do things because he is ambitious in his heart. But I Lu Ren don't want you Murong Ziying to end up fighting each other because of your excessive ambition.

If you want to do big things, it doesn't matter, when the time is right, I Lu Ren can play the court to get you Murong Ziying a half-official position, but the premise is that we will cooperate well. And what I, Lu Ren, hope most is that you, Murong Ziying, don't become a bastard who intrudes on the northern territory like the Xiongnu and Karasuma. If there is really that day, then it will be time for I, Lu Ren, to deal with you personally.

So when it came to Murong Ziying, Murong Ziying actually always had an inexplicable fear of Lu Ren......

Zhao Yu saw that Murong Ziying was speechless, so he shrugged his shoulders and tightened the clothes on his clothes...... Towards December, the area of western Liaoning is gray and cold.

He took a step and wanted to go to the fireplace in the house to bake the fire, but after taking two steps, Zhao Yu remembered something, turned around and said to Murong Ziying: "By the way, Ziying, you may have to prepare here, that is, after the spring next year, Mr. He may send someone here to take charge of things." But don't worry, you won't be separated from your Xianbei people, mainly sent over to preside over the affairs of Hong Kong Town. ”

Murong Ziying nodded. Now Lu Ren has strengthened the port facilities on the coast of the north shore of Chrysanthemum Island, and the people who gather here say that there are not many people, but there are also many words, Murong Ziying alone can't lead it, and Tian Chou can't pull away from the other side of the right Beiping, so Lu Ren has to send someone to take care of it, who makes Lu Ren the real history of Liaoxi Thorn? The people sent by Lu Ren are all served.

"Who will Lu Yizhou send?"

Zhao Yu smiled and shook his finger at Murong Ziying: "My best friend, Lingqi." ”

"Who, who? Lu Lingqi!? ”

It's okay not to say it, when this thing came out, Murong Ziying shuddered at that time. Murong Ziying has also lived in Yizhou for several years, and she is very familiar with Lu Lingqi. Not only is she very familiar, but Murong Ziying has not been "repaired" by Lu Lingqi. Especially when he and Tuoba Yu's two Xianbei tribes first arrived in Yizhou, they had a lot of trouble because of living habits and other reasons, and in the end they were suppressed by Lu Lingqi, who was the captain of Yizhou Chengguan, and Murong Ziying and some people around him were repaired by Lu Lingqi to be not ordinarily miserable.

The most important thing is that this misery does not refer to the repair by force, but that Lu Lingqi always has some messy methods that make Murong Ziying and the Xianbei people cry and laugh and be embarrassed. Let's put it this way, Murong Ziying ran into Lu Lingqi, as if Xiao Zhengtai met the eldest royal sister, basically only being bullied by Lu Lingqi. Therefore, Murong Ziying is in awe of Lu Ren, and Lu Lingqi is the fear of a weak brother and a strong sister.

Not to mention Murong Ziying, but as long as these people around Murong Ziying, if they meet Lu Lingqi, it will be ...... Have you ever watched "Love Apartment"? A group of people treat Lu Lingqi like a group of guys who have met Hu Yifei, the eldest sister, and some of them will involuntarily tighten the chrysanthemum.

So at this moment, Murong Ziying wanted to cry a little without tears, looked up at the sky at forty-five degrees, and said secretly with grief and indignation in her heart: "Who is not good, why is she coming?" It's a sad day! ”

Not mentioning that Murong Ziying wanted to cry without tears, just said that how could Lu Ren think of transferring Lu Lingqi to Liaoxi? You must know that Lu Lingqi is the Minister of Public Security and the captain of the Chengguan Brigade in Yizhou, how can she be transferred to Liaoxi in charge of such an important matter?

Of course, Lu Ren considered it very carefully. First of all, as far as job vacancies are concerned, Lu Lingqi has been in charge for many years, and at the same time, the public security conditions in Yizhou have long been very good, and a group of qualified personnel have also been trained, so there is no need to worry about job vacancies.

Secondly, Lu Ren can't stretch his hand too blatantly to Liaoxi now, otherwise it will be easy to attract the attention of Lao Cao, but the scale of the port town that has been occupied now has reached a certain level, and it needs to be stabilized by the right person in the past, and the person sent over must not be too outstanding in some aspects, otherwise it will also attract Lao Cao's attention. Under these preconditions, I am afraid that there is no one more suitable than Lu Lingqi at this time.

First of all, Lu Lingqi is a woman, which is a big advantage in itself, no matter how much Lao Cao pays attention to it, he won't notice a girl, right? In other words, Lu Ren sent a girl over, which itself had the intention of paralyzing Lao Cao.

Moreover, Lu Lingqi has always been only in charge of public security in Yizhou, and has not shown anything in other aspects, and Lu Ren has come out of the port in western Liaoning, and it is impossible for Lao Cao not to receive a little news. Now Lu Ren sent a person who seemed to only know how to engage in public security work, and from the bright side, he just wanted to guard the circle of the port, but externally, it seemed that he would be enterprising and powerless, which could also make Lao Cao An feel at ease to a certain extent......

————————————————————

Night fell, in Lu Lingqi's residence. Under the moonlight, Lu Lingqi was sitting in the courtyard wiping the long sword attentively, and after a closer look, there was a single-outline halberd on her side.

"Lingqi."

"Uncle Lu? Aunt Xiu? How did you guys get here? ”

Lu Ren waved his hand to signal that Lu Lingqi and the maids did not need to be polite, and then walked to Lu Lingqi with Minchan, and naturally saw the single-outline halberd at a glance. After being stunned for a moment, Lu Ren hesitated and said, "Lingqi, this halberd?" ”

Lu Lingqi looked at the painting halberd, but when the words came to her mouth, she still shook her head and opened the topic: "Why did Uncle Lu and Aunt Xiu come here late at night?" ”

Lu Ren didn't want to ask more questions when he saw that Lu Lingqi had opened the topic, turned his head to look at Minchan, and after thinking about it again, he said, "Lingqi, how many years have you followed me?" ”

Lu Lingqi raised her head and recalled: "In the fourth year of Jian'an, Lingqi arrived in Yizhou with Aunt Xiu and the fleet. In the blink of an eye, it has been fourteen years. It will be fifteen years by the beginning of spring next year. ”

Lu Ren sighed lightly: "Fifteen years, the original young daughter is now thirty years old. Well...... Lingqi, do you really want to never marry? A girl's youth is only a few years, you should ...... well"

Lu Lingqi interrupted Lu Ren's words and said, "Uncle Lu, these are Lingqi's private affairs, I really don't dare to bother Uncle Lu." And again......"

Saying that, Lu Lingqi looked at the single hook halberd beside her, and her expression brought out a bit of pride: "Who dares to marry the daughter of Wen Hou in the past?" Even if it is interested in me, it must be able to outperform the sword in my hand. ”

Lu Ren was dumbfounded when he heard this: "It seems that I really don't know whether it's right or wrong to let you follow me." Not to mention anything else, your temper is so strong that it is no different from the warmth of the past. Hey, I don't even know what I'm talking about. ”

Lu Lingqi was silent for a moment when she heard this, and then put the long sword in her hand aside, and instead lifted the single-hook halberd in her hand and looked at it quietly. After a long time, Lu Lingqi said to Lu Ren: "Uncle Lu, Lingqi also hated you at the beginning, but after many years, Lingqi has already figured out a lot of things...... Uncle Lu, what do you think of this halberd? ”

Lu Ren took the painting halberd handed over by Lu Lingqi and looked at it carefully, and then said, "This painting halberd was built by you according to the style of the painting halberd used by Ling Zun Wenhou back then, right?" It looks almost the same, but it's about three feet shorter, and it's a lot lighter. But in this case, if you use it, it's just right. ”

Lu Lingqi nodded and said, "My father is more than nine feet long (that is, more than two meters), and the blades used must be specially built. Lingqi's length is certainly outstanding among women, but it is not much different from that of an eight-foot man, so this halberd is built according to the length of an ordinary halberd. ”

By the way, Lu Lingqi has been inherited by Lu Bu, and her height is 1.77 meters, and she can reach 1.8 meters by casually wearing a pair of heels that are not so high, so many times Lu Ren can only look up when he meets Lu Lingqi.

I saw Lu Ren play with the halberd again, and then smiled at Lu Lingqi: "Interesting, it's been so long, although I know that your swordsmanship is superb, I never knew that you were still good at painting halberds." ”

Lu Lingqi shook her head a little embarrassed and said, "Uncle Lu, Lingqi is not good at painting halberds. ”

Lu Ren was surprised: "Then this painting halberd?" ”

Lu Lingqi was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked Lu Ren, "Uncle Lu, in your eyes, what kind of person is my father?" ”

"Well...... this" (To be continued.) )
