The actual sailing speed of the landing craft was very fast, so when Cai Yan woke up from her sleep in the early morning of the next day, she was surprised to find that she had returned to the dock in Keelung, and Lu Ren, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, was very embarrassed to find a bouquet of flowers that had not been picked up from nowhere and handed it to her, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Wen Ji, I originally said that I would take you to play at sea for a few days, but ......"

With Cai Yan's personality and personality, how can he care about these things with Lu Ren? Besides, what happened to pretend to be a bird in the air flight before, and now the flowers handed over by Lu Ren have more or less satisfied some of Cai Yan's romantic feelings of girlhood, which has already made Cai Yan, who has experienced hardship, quite satisfied. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info so Cai Yan just smiled faintly after a little flush on his face, took the flowers handed over by Lu Ren and pushed Lu Ren and said: "After so many years, I don't know what kind of temper you have?" If you're in a hurry to come back, you must have something urgent to do, so go about your business. ”

Lu Ren nodded, and kissed Cai Yan lightly on the forehead: "I notified Ah Xiu and asked her to bring someone to pick you up." ”

Cai Yan answered, got up and went to wash up.

It didn't take too long, Xun Yu and the others rushed to the dock one after another, and as soon as Xun Yu saw Lu Ren's face, he came over with a sentence: "Yihao!" You're back just in time, and there's a call from Chrysanthemum Harbor......"

Lu Ren raised his hand and interrupted Xun Yu's words: "I know! I have a telegraph on this ship, and I have received that telegram here, otherwise I would not have rushed back in advance. ”

Xun Yu nodded with satisfaction. There is no need to explain much about the fact that there is a telegraph on the landing craft, first, Lu Ren deliberately let people come up to play before, and Xun Yu and they know a little about it, and second, some important ships in Yizhou have long been equipped with telegraphs, so it is not surprising for Xun Yu that Lu Ren can receive telegrams at sea.

Next, Mink Chan took Cai Yan home, and Xun Yu and the others stayed directly on the landing craft to have a meeting with Lu Ren. In fact, Lu Ren and Xun Yu had been prepared for Liaodong for a long time, but they were held back by some things before. Now that such an opportunity has suddenly appeared, Lu Ren only needs to make some corresponding adjustments here to make some action.

As a few people were discussing the map, Shirley's brow furrowed, and then she walked back from a corner with the back collars of two dejected bear children. Lu Ren and the others were stunned when they saw it:

"Feng'er? Rain? Why are you two here? ”

Lu Feng and Lu Yu looked at each other, and Lu Yu muttered in a low voice: "Big brother, I just said that you can't hide it from Daddy and Aunt Xue." ”

Lu Feng just laughed dryly, and Lu Ren here was also angry: "You two! Usually you just mess around, but now Dad, I'm discussing business with your uncles and uncles, what are you doing to make a fuss? Shirley, arrange for someone to send these two children to Wen Ji, let Wen Ji keep these two children in prison for a few days, and if necessary, let Wen Ji keep them locked up for a few days! ”

As soon as they said "confinement", Lu Feng and Lu Yu panicked. Don't think it's a joke, Lu Ren and Cai Yan have really been confined to these two bear children, and it doesn't feel good. Then Lu Feng hurriedly said, "Don't be Dad!" This time I'm going to deal with Gongsun Gong, and Sister Yu and I might be able to help! ”

Lu Ren was really a little angry: "What do you want you to help with?" Let me tell you, your task before the age of eighteen is to read and learn things, and I don't bother to talk about you if there is any nonsense in Yizhou. But you don't have to worry about other things, and if you want to take care of it, you will have to do it after you are eighteen years old. ”

Lu Feng hurriedly argued: "No, Dad! Sister Yu and I both think that although Gongsun Gong has sent someone to ask you for help now, he still has doubts, and if there is no important person to interview him, he may not necessarily believe his father. ”

Lu Ren frowned, and just when he wanted to speak, Xun Yu stopped Lu Ren and muttered, "What Feng'er said is not unreasonable. Gongsun Gong asked for help because of the situation, and if there was no credible person to persuade him to strengthen his heart, maybe there would really be some other changes. If he thinks that we will plot against him, and instead reconciles with Gongsun Yuan and then fights against me, then it will be difficult to say. And Yihao, you should understand that Gongsun Yuan is very afraid of you, under the command of your soldiers, what can Gongsun Gong be regarded as Gongsun Yuan? In order to defend against you, it is not impossible for Gongsun Yuan to seek reconciliation with Gongsun Gong. ”

Lu Ren frowned again, pondered for a while before asking, "What do you mean, Duke Xun?" ”

Xun Yu said: "As Feng'er said just now, now that Gongsun Gong has sent someone to ask you for help, you have to send someone of sufficient weight to stabilize Gongsun Gong's heart, so that he will not join forces with Gongsun Yuan again under the suspicion in his heart." And at this time, Feng'er is indeed a more suitable candidate. Moreover, Feng'er is a small ghost, and I believe that Feng'er can strengthen Gongsun Gong's confidence in you. ”

After a pause, Xun Yu added: "Also, the people who support Gongsun Gong now, there are many people who are those Liaodong prisoners you released to Liaodong before. If it is to let Feng'er give orders, it is easier to convince the public. ”

Lu Ren stretched out his hand and knocked on the door of Lu Feng's head, and hesitated: "But this kid is only twelve years old......

Xun Yu said: "You are worried about the safety of the wind and the rain, right?" This is a trivial matter, and it is not to let Feng'er and Yu'er go to see Gongsun Gong, but to let Gongsun Gong come to the boat to see Feng'er and Yu'er. ”

Lu Ren somewhat understood what Xun Yu meant, and after thinking about it for a while, he pulled Lu Feng and Lu Yu aside, and said to the two bear children with a blushing face: "You two! Dad, I'm also from your age, and I know that at your age, I always want to do something to show myself, so I won't say much, Dad. This time, Dad, I'll give you this opportunity to show yourself, but I'm not going to take it as an example! Also, you all have to stay in an absolutely safe place for me, and you are not allowed to set foot on the Liaodong Territory for half a step without the permission of my father! Got it!? ”

"Got it, Daddy!"

Lu Ren's two hands were two brain collapses at the same time, and he rewarded him: "Give it to Daddy seriously!" ”

"No!!"

————————————————————

Liaodong, Lelang.

The approximate location of Lelang is Lushun in later generations (not very accurate, the bottle is written so easily), which can be said to be an important pass for the defense of the sea on the Liaodong side, but at that time...... It should be said that there are not many coastal fortifications, and the land fortifications can only be said to be average.

At this moment, Gongsun Gong was pacing restlessly in Lelang's mansion. After fighting Gongsun Yuan so far, Gongsun Gong actually doesn't have much strength at all, and there are no more than 10,000 people left at hand, and the logistics supply is also a little stretched. After all, most of the real power in Liaodong has always been in the hands of Gongsun Yuan, and if Gongsun Gong hadn't taken advantage of Gongsun Yuan's absence in Liaodong to get some foundation, he wouldn't have been able to survive at this time.

But if this situation continues to develop, Gongsun Gong knows very well that his death at the hands of Gongsun Yuan is just a matter of time before he dies, otherwise when someone asks Gongsun Gong to ask Lu Ren for help, Gongsun Gong will not agree so easily, and Gongsun Gong has always made peace with Lu Ren and returned Lu Ren's money and women...... Oh yes, those women are nominally envoys of the vassal state to meet the Son of Heaven.

In short, from the perspective of righteousness, Gongsun Gong can be regarded as conforming to the court. It's just that righteousness is often guaranteed by the hardness of the fist, and the current Gongsun Gong, the hardness of his fist is really not enough.

Gossip and say a few words, anyway, Gongsun Gong at this time is anxiously waiting for the return of the envoy he sent and bring him the good news he wants. To be honest, Gongsun Gong at this time has actually made all kinds of psychological preparations, and the best result is, of course, after receiving Lu Ren's assistance, he will have friendly peace talks with Lu Ren, and then he will still be the lord of Liaodong, but he will give Lu Ren a lot of benefits every year......

Of course, this is the most ideal ending for Gongsun Gong, but it is also very likely to be the most unrealistic ending. But for Gongsun Gong, it doesn't matter if he is a puppet, as long as he can save his life and live a peaceful and beautiful life.

In fact, the previous Gongsun Gong was almost like a puppet to put it bluntly, and Gongsun Gong himself didn't have much heart to govern Liaodong, the reason was that Gongsun Gong's health was not very good, and he even "disappeared into a eunuch", and the most important thing to do was to find a place to recuperate quietly, and don't bother him with those troublesome things. But the problem is that Gongsun Yuan wants to replace him, and it is unlikely that he will leave that small life for Gongsun Gong, and Gongsun Gong has also taken measures to protect himself as a last resort.

Well, let's say that Gongsun Gong is waiting anxiously here, but what he is waiting for is not good news. But seeing that the herald hurriedly came to report, saying that the pass north of Lelang had been lost, and the remnants of Gongsun Gong had already returned to Lelang County. That is to say, at this time, Gongsun Gong only has the lonely city of Lelang left, and there are less than 8,000 soldiers and horses left. And the only thing that can be done now is to stick to Lelang County, and then see if Lu Ren will send someone over to rescue him in time.

Fortunately, Gongsun Gong has long been mentally prepared for this, and has also made corresponding preparations in the ground defense of Lelang County, relying on the 8,000 soldiers and grain stocks on hand now, it will not be a big problem for another month or two. And the only hope is that Lu Ren hurriedly sent someone to rescue. As for surrendering to Gongsun Yuan...... Hehe, Gongsun Gong knew that he could only be a dead end, and it would not be a matter of a day or two for Gongsun Yuan to kill himself.

On the other hand, on Gongsun Yuan's side, Gongsun Yuan was also eager to get rid of Gongsun Gong as soon as possible, otherwise Gongsun Yuan would not be able to concentrate the strength of Liaodong to fight against Lu Ren. Gongsun Yuan had directly fought with Lu Ren's troops, and the battle in Xisai Mountain really scared Gongsun Yuan. 30,000 horses, but could not defeat the Xisai Mountain Pass, which was guarded by only a few thousand people at that time, and then was later surrounded by reinforcements sent by Chrysanthemum Port, Gongsun Yuan's 30,000 horses were almost wiped out, and Gongsun Yuan himself only took more than 100 horses to make a detour before returning to Xiangping. This is something that Gongsun Yuan doesn't know, if he knows that it was Lu Ren who secretly instructed Murong Ziying and them to let him go, then Gongsun Yuan's battle at this time might be more urgent.

I won't say much about these, just say that after Gongsun Yuan led the army to break through the land defense line north of Lelang, he took a little rest and then entered Lelang County, surrounded Lelang County, and then selected soldiers to attack. Gongsun Gong here knew that once the city was broken, there would be no way to live, so he was also desperately resisting. Because both sides have their own pros and cons, they have played chess and drums evenly in the past few days, and no one can help anyone.

Finally, on this day, when the two sides were fighting fiercely at the head of the city, an army that suddenly appeared attracted the attention of both sides. After this force appeared in the field of vision of both sides, its marching speed was not fast, it was just advancing slowly, and the number of its troops was not very large, probably only about 3,000 people. However, although the number of people was small, its strict military formation and mighty armor brought a great sense of psychological oppression to the soldiers on both sides.

As for the guys in the hands of this force...... Among the soldiers under the command of the two grandsons, many people had seen this thing, and when they saw it a little more clearly, the soldiers on both sides immediately exploded.

"It's Yizhou soldiers! How did they get here!? This was the exclamation of Gongsun Yuan's side.

"It's the soldiers and horses of Yizhou! They're finally here! "This is a surprise from Gongsun Gong's side.

As soon as Gongsun Yuan heard the news in the big tent, the whole person was Spartan, and he pulled a certain soldier over, and asked, "How can the Yizhou soldiers appear here?" Didn't I send someone over to the Haiphong Pass? Why hasn't anyone who reported the news come back? "Gossip and don't say a word, anyway, Gongsun Gong is anxiously waiting for the return of the envoy he sent and bring him the good news he wants. To be honest, Gongsun Gong at this time has actually made all kinds of psychological preparations, and the best result is, of course, after receiving Lu Ren's assistance, he will have friendly peace talks with Lu Ren, and then he will still be the lord of Liaodong, but he will give Lu Ren a lot of benefits every year......
