"Lu Servant shoots, but it doesn't hurt to say."

Lu Ren glanced at Gan Ning a few times, and after a little muttering, he said: "I think that after I gave up my official position and engaged in business, it really took a lot of effort to open up the waterway business transportation in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Thinking that there is a lot of money in my boat group, I am worried that there will always be a time to confront Brother Xingba when I run down the Yangtze River waterway like this. Putting aside for the time being that I already wanted to make friends with Brother Xingba and didn't want to be an enemy of Brother Xingba, I just said that if we really fought, my Lu clan group was really not sure that it would be your Brother Xingba's opponent. ”

Gan Ning paused for a moment, and then laughed heartily: "Lu Servant is really good at laughing!" According to what Lu Servant said in Shicai, isn't it because he is afraid of me that he wants to make friends with me and avoid trouble? ”

Lu Ren smiled faintly: "To tell you the truth, I'm really a little afraid of Brother Xingba." On this Yangtze River waterway, except for the fleets of Cao, Liu, and Sun, I dare to say that I don't care about ordinary river thieves at all, except for your brother Xingba. Because the only river thief who really has the strength to move my Lu clan is you, Brother Xingba, so I'm afraid. However, my fear is that Brother Xingba is really just a thief who wantonly robs for selfish desires, as some people have heard. And in that case, then you and I will have a battle on the Yangtze River waterway sooner or later. ”

Gan Ning paused again, then looked around at the Seahorse ship he was on now, and asked Lu Ren with some hesitation: "Then according to Lu Fu's opinion, if there is a fight between you and me, who will win and who will lose?" ”

Lu Ren said: "I don't know, but the biggest possibility should be that you and I will lose both, and then be taken advantage of by others, and this is what I am really afraid of." ”

Gan Ning was an expert in water warfare at that time. Before boarding Lu Ren's Seahorse, Gan Ning had paid attention to the battlefield being cleaned and the weapon configuration on Lu Ren's ship, and from his eyes at this moment, what Lu Ren said was by no means empty words. After listening to Lu Ren's words at this time, Gan Ning was silent for a moment before saying, "What Lu Servant said is true. The water battle on the river was dominated by bows and crossbows, and the crossbows in the land servants were all shot by ordinary ships before they could even get close.

"Unless it's a large, well-equipped fighting ship, or a very fast ramming ship. Otherwise, it would be a group of several ships to attack, otherwise it would not be able to deal with such a large ship as a land servant...... It's just that none of the above can be done by these ordinary river thieves. If Ning is allowed to attack Lu Servant's group, Ning has no chance of winning in his heart, if he insists on working hard, I am afraid that just like Lu Servant said, you and I will only lose both. ”

To put it simply, shipbuilding was very expensive at that time, and where did the river thieves who relied on robbery have the strength to build large ships? Ganning's three ships were just medium-sized ships in people's minds at the time. Besides. If any river thief really dares to build a large ship and use it to rob it, it will also be cheaper for the official fleet.

Lu Ren nodded and said, "Yes." In the art of war, it is said that 'the military struggle is for profit, and there is no profit and no profit', so we will first put aside our admiration for each other and only say a good word. And on top of this sharp word, since you and I can't take advantage of each other, we will only take advantage of the cicada queen in the end, so why should we bother? Rather than so. It is not as good as you and me to have fellowship in harmony and take advantage of each other, at least at least. Wouldn't it be nice for you and me to be able to get along without any trouble? ”

After thinking for a long time, Gan Ning suddenly smiled and said, "A good one is only for profit." Although it sounds harsh, it makes people feel that it is much more real than those rhetoric, and it also makes Ning deeply feel that Lu Servant is indeed treating me with sincerity, and he really wants to have a relationship with Ning! Okay, just for this sharp word. Ning Jing Lu Servant shoots a bowl! ”

After the crisp sound of clinking bowls, Lu Ren and Gan Ning each had a big bowl of beer. After drinking the wine and touching the wine, Gan Ning looked at Lu Ren for a long time before frowning slightly and asked: "Lu Servant, in fact, Ning has always had something unclear in his heart, and I hope that Lu Servant Shot can give advice." ”

Lu Ren said with a smile: "Brother Xingba said it directly. ”

Gan Ning looked at Lu Ren for a while. There was also a bit of doubt and incomprehension in his expression: "Ning has heard a lot of rumors about Lu Servant's shooting in the old days. I want Lu Servant to shoot the old in Xudu, and he is appointed as the Captain of the Dasi Nong Mansion to govern Sudu, and to guard the Shangshu Mansion Shangshu Servant, all of which are important tasks of the dynasty. Some people even say that if it weren't for the fact that Lu Servant Shot was still young and had little qualifications, then one of the Nine Qing Clans, Dasi Nong, would be none other than Lu Servant Shot. But in time, Lu Servant will be one of the Nine Qings and rank in the court. Lu Servant has this way of green clouds and leaves his name in the bamboo silk, but why did he abandon his official position and come to the land of Jingxiang to be a cloth merchant? ”

Lu Ren was helping everyone scoop wine, and after hearing Gan Ning's question, the hand holding the spoon trembled slightly, and then he sighed lightly before putting down the wine spoon and sitting down and saying, "Why does Brother Xingba ask this question?" However, since Brother Xingba asked, Lu Ren also said bluntly, this is just 'different ways and not conspiring with each other'. ”

"The Tao is different, not the same?"

Lu Ren nodded: "Don't hide it from Brother Xingba, although Lu Ren became an official by chance, and he also achieved such a heavy position as the commander of Su Du and Shang Shu, but in fact, I ...... I have always had no intention of being an official, and it was really helpless to be an official at the beginning. There's no way, before I became a career, I was just a beggar and a woodcutter, and I had to find a job to make a living. ”

Lu Ren's words aroused Gan Ning's curiosity, and he immediately asked: "Since Lu Fu has no intention of becoming an official with fame and fortune, then why do you want to make so many achievements?" ”

Lu Ren said: "Under the eaves of people, you have to bow your head. Since you have eaten the lord's money, you must do what you have to do. In addition, Lu Ren was young at that time after all, although he did not want to be an official and only wanted to be free, but he still had a bit of youthful vigor and competitiveness like the world, and since he did it, he always thought about how to do it well. At that time, the Central Plains was plagued by disasters, and the people were struggling to make a living, and they were hungry...... I used to be a beggar, and naturally I am a person who has experienced those hardships, and I really don't want to see so many people suffering from hunger and cold. And since I have the ability to do something, I don't want to turn a blind eye to it, otherwise my conscience will be uneasy. ”

Gan Ning nodded lightly and bowed to Lu Ren: "Lu Servant shoots Gao Yi!" ”

Lu Ren waved his hand: "It's not righteous or unjust, I just do things according to my conscience, and I just want to make my heart feel better." It's just bad that I'm doing too much. ”

Gan Ningqi said: "Lu Servant was a civil servant at that time, as a civil minister, it is within his duty to govern the government diligently, so that the people have rich food and clothing, and live and work in peace and contentment, and it is reasonable for the people to get the power of Lu Servant to shoot and gradually enrich their food and clothing, but why did Lu Servant Shoot say it?" ”

Lu Ren said: "I was too young and vigorous at that time, and I didn't know how to moderate restraint. Since Brother Xingba has read Zhuzi, he must have seen a lot of celebrity stories in the Spring and Autumn Period, right? ”

"This is natural. It's just that I don't know why Lu Servant suddenly mentioned this? ”

Lu Ren smiled faintly and said: "During the Spring and Autumn Period, all countries competed for power, and the capital of competition first of all lies in whether its national strength is strong. At that time, most of the reason why the Seven Heroes of the Nations were able to dominate successively was that they all found a person who knew how to change the law and strengthen the country. But there are actually more than a few people in this category, in addition to those who have the opportunity to make great achievements, there are many who have died at the hands of the countries, and these things are also recorded in the sons, but does Brother Xingba know why this is happening? ”

Gan Ning pondered for a while, then looked at Xu Shu and Shi Tao, who were quite perceptive on the side of the seat, and nodded lightly: "After Lu Servant said this, Ning also understood. Lu Servant is a person who can make the country rich and strong, and make the candidates have the foundation to compete for hegemony. At that time, Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu fought, and both of them were a generation of heroes, so of course they would not let go of people like Lu Fuchu...... If you can't get it, you must get rid of it! ”

Lu Ren sighed: "Yes, it's a pity that I woke up too late." At that time, I always thought that what I did was very ordinary, but I didn't understand anything like teaching people to control millet and rice, pigs and poultry, and other things like coup d'état. But I didn't expect that I, a person who was only proficient in people's livelihood, was also a genius in the eyes of the candidates in this troubled world.

"Now that I think about it, I realize that people say that the stone into the mu field, but I have the ability to double, triple or even more this stone entry...... Thinking about it, this is still a short time for me to be promoted to a major position in the court, and many people's livelihood skills have not yet been able to really spread. Since I have this ability, how can heroes like Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu let me go?

"Just like Brother Xingba just said, if you can't get it, you must get rid of it, even if you can't get it, you'd rather kill it than let it be used by other enemies. But what about me? I was at a loss at the time, and I always thought that I would accept it when things were almost done, and then I resigned and went to live freely...... Because of my unknowingness, I ended up taking the lives of my loved ones. ”

Gan Ning paused when he heard this, and asked hesitantly: "The dear person that Lu Servant shot talked about, but Lu Servant shot the old maid Wan'er?" Ke Ning heard that Wan'er died at the hands of Yuan Shang, the third son of Yuan Benchu, but how could he make Lu Servant shoot away from Cao Ying? It is said that the Yuan family killed Lu Servant's close relatives, and Lu Servant should stay in Cao's camp and do his best to help Cao Mengde defeat the Yuan family to avenge himself. ”

Lu Renjing glanced at the three people in the banquet, shook his head and sighed: "Cao Mengde is an immortal hero, and Yuan Benchu is deeply rooted in Hebei, and the battle between them is not a big battle. What Cao Mengde had to consider was how to bring the whole of Hebei into his hands, and to accomplish this, he had to take advantage of the power struggle between Yuan Benchu's sons. For the sake of hegemony, he will not think of this personal vendetta on me. The avenger I want to kill is Yuan Shang, but Brother Xingba may not know that Yuan Shang was captured in the Battle of Guandu, but Cao Mengde quietly ...... Yuan Shang without my knowledge for the sake of his hegemony."

Gan Ning's eyes immediately widened, and his voice was several times louder: "Let it go?" ”

Lu Ren nodded gloomily, and Gan Ning was so angry that he got up according to the case, and turned around on the deck with his hands behind his back: "People often say that Cao Mengde is extremely treacherous, and now I heard that this is indeed the case!" The eldest husband should have revenge in the world, but Lu Servant had the hope of revenge, but he was ...... It's no wonder that Lu Servant shot angrily and left Cao! He is not benevolent, why does Lu Servant need to be affectionate! (To be continued.) )
