Volume 3 Chapter 313 Borrowing the Pit Man (2)
In Lu Ren's view, Ah San seems to have an innate characteristic, that is, they are quite self-righteous and arrogant. And this characteristic of theirs now seems to have existed since ancient times.
Xun Yu had made such an analysis before, that is, those three city-states are currently sandwiched between the forces of Anxi, Guishan, and Lu Ren, and the better way at this time should be...... According to Xun Yu, the three city-states at this time were very similar to Liu Biao before the Battle of Chibi, and Liu Biao's biggest mistake was that he was not able to follow the trend and go to a certain side. At that time, some people even said that if Liu Biao's heart was ruthless, then it would not be impossible for Liu Biao to achieve a great cause.
It's a pity that Liu Biao didn't choose these two paths, but blindly wanted to remain neutral and stabilize his one-third of an acre. But the final result is just like what Liu Biao's adviser said, Liu Biao has no good fruit to eat.
And compared with Liu Biao, those three city-states are still much worse in terms of their own strength. If Liu Biao is really ruthless, he can achieve great things if he doesn't do it well, but what about these three city-states? They didn't have the strength that Liu Biao had at that time.
Therefore, the three city-states that are sandwiched between the three parties, the better choice is to follow a force with an iron heart, in fact, they themselves are still linked to the rest of the peace, and there are corresponding conditions. But at this time, the arrogant and self-righteous Ah Sanmen ruined their affairs, at least they underestimated their own strength and also underestimated Lu Ren's strength, thinking that if Lu Ren wanted to gain a foothold in Central Asia, he would need their help very much, and even would definitely need their help.
It was because of this wrong judgment that they "did not have enough hearts to swallow elephants", and sent arrogant envoys to put forward excessive conditions that Lu Ren and Xun Yu found ridiculous. Again, they thought that Lu Ren would definitely need their help, so they would be in an advantageous position, and they could completely let Lu Ren bleed heavily in order to win them over.
As for whether the things and women will help Lu Ren with all their strength after they get their hands on them...... I'm afraid this matter is just like what Lu Ren said, if you believe the words of this gang of Ah San, then you are stupid!
In general, the most important thing about these gang of Ah San is that they didn't expect Lu Ren to treat them with such an attitude, and what was even more unexpected was that Lu Ren had a very "unique" understanding of their gang of Ah San. And then to put it more ugly, you Ah San are scheming with our Chinese children? At your level, please go wash and go to sleep, don't be embarrassed there.
Let's talk about these things first, let's just say that after Chen Li and Gan Ning received Lu Ren's instructions, they immediately exposed all the things about Ah San, and even sent Ah San's envoys out of Yangon City with a swagger. Plus some intentional operation...... There are some schemes, and the tricks are that a Chinese kid can play, and Chen Li and Gan Ning are also very slippery when they play.
Therefore, within a few days, Guishan knew about this, and the rest side also knew, and Ah San's city-states became the target of public criticism at this time.
But sometimes you really can't underestimate Ah San. After being exposed, Ah San immediately explained that they were deceiving Lu Ren to surrender in order to achieve a goal of luring the enemy into the depths. Then rest in peace or with Kushan...... Although it is said that the Kushan had a long-term feud with the Asan in the South Indian region, and even often had wars. However, at this time, considering that Ah San has rest behind him, it is really not good to turn his face with Ah San, and it is not good to fight at all.
As for rest......
In the resting palace, Kasili, who received the news, was sulking, and when she was walking, she turned around three times and two times, and unconsciously came to Wan'er's residence. In the courtyard, Wan'er was reading a book in the shade of a tree, and when she saw Cass Eli coming in and looking at the look on Kasy Eli's face, Wan'er asked out loud, "What happened, making you angry like this?" ”
Kasi Yili sat down in front of Wan'er and told her about the three people who wanted to secretly collude with Lu Ren, and Wan'er just shook her head after listening. Wan'er has a deviation in her personal memory, but "his" plan is to choose a rest for Wan'er as the starting point, and Ah San can't avoid it if she goes east, so when Lu Ren's time and space resurrects Wan'er and modifies Wan'er's memory, "he" has stuffed all the information he can collect into Wan'er's memory, so Wan'er has a certain understanding of Ah San, and Wan'er's understanding is from Lu Ren's own time and space, so it is almost exactly the same as Lu Ren in many aspects.
"Divine envoy, what should we do with those Ah San?" I'm sorry, Kasi Yili learned the title of Ah San, from Wan'er.
Wan'er shook her head: "I wouldn't have interfered in your military and political affairs, but if you asked, I would just say a few words." In fact, when the three Asans expressed their willingness to follow the fleet, I wanted to remind you not to let them follow. To be honest, at first I thought that these Ah San didn't know how powerful Lu Ren was, and thought that sending troops to follow him was to pick up cheap and take advantage, and it didn't seem to be a big deal if I thought about it, so it didn't matter if they let them follow. But now it seems that they were able to send the envoy so quickly, and it was evident that they were prepared for both. ”
Kasy Yili hesitated, "Prepare with both hands? ”
Wan'er nodded and said: "To put it simply, if Anxi fights well, they will follow and pick up the cheap, but if Anxi and Guishuang suffer losses, it will prove that Lu Ren has good strength for Ah San, and they can use it...... Kasy Eli, don't you think those city-states of Ah San are really subservient to you? ”
Cass Eli was silent. As a regent who can give rest to the well-governed, she can't be the kind of person who has no brains, so she also knows very well what kind of virtue those three city-states are. The reason why he accepted the things of the three city-states was, to put it bluntly, nothing more than a restriction on Guishan...... Although they are all Persian Central Asian powers, and they have a good relationship with each other on the surface, there are some things that everyone knows in their hearts, and many times they also need some buffers or areas to contain them.
After being silent, Kasi Yili asked, "Divine envoy, how to rectify Ah San?" ”
Wan'er shook her head again: "How can you have that energy now?" Rome in the west has been moving again recently, you have to keep your energy on dealing with Rome, you don't have time to care about those three people. Over there, Guishan, you can send some boats over to mean it. ”
Kasi Yili still couldn't swallow this breath: "Don't really care? ”
Wan'er said, "Don't worry. These sons are too arrogant, and they actually made such excessive demands on Lu Ren, so I don't think it's surprising that they will be the first batch of targets that Lu Ren will deal with. With Lu Ren to help you deal with Ah San, what do you care about Ah San? ”
Kasy Eli was stunned, but after a while she digested Wan'er's words. Immediately, Kasily's brows furrowed again: "It's just that in this way, won't the South Indian region fall into Lu Ren's hands?" ”
Wan'er shook her head: "I don't know much about military matters, you think about it yourself." And the advice I can give you now is to guard against Rome on the army side, and build more warships on the navy side. Lu Ren's final goal will be to rest in peace, and if he wants to fight, he will definitely focus on the navy. If you don't have enough maritime strength, you basically don't have to fight the battle, and you will lose a large number of coastal areas, to say the least. As for whether you want to intervene when Lu Ren attacks Ah San, it depends on your own judgment. ”
Kasy Yili didn't say anything after hearing this, and silently saluted Wan'er before withdrawing. The current situation is just like Wan'er said, there is some movement in Rome again, and Cass Eli has to prioritize the movements of this long-cherished enemy, and other places can be put aside first.
————————————————————
In the following time, there were several more battles here in Yangon. But unlike Chen Li's previous stubborn defense of Yangon, Gan Ning came, and the 30,000 Dong soldiers in Nanzhong also accepted Gan Ning's command. With the existence of some troops, Gan Ning's confidence was very hard, so when he fought with Guishan again, Gan Ning fought a tough and ruthless battle, and Guishan actually lost nearly 20,000 people after a few battles.
I have to say that although Gan Ning is no longer as murderous as before as he grows older, he still doesn't have the slightest affection on the battlefield. Thousands of captives came down in a battle, and Gan Ning said that he would be buried alive, and there was no reason to talk about it. Later, if Lu Ren hadn't taken an urgent telegram to Gan Ning after hearing the news, asking Gan Ning to send the prisoners to work elsewhere as coolies, God knows how many people Gan Ning would have buried alive.
Lu Ren also knew that if Gan Ning was allowed to stick to Yangon, he would definitely not be able to sit still with Gan Ning's temper, so he changed a little and instructed Gan Ning to launch a small-scale attack on the Kushan territory near Yangon if the situation permitted, but the purpose was not to attack the city and plunder, but only to plunder the land...... To put it bluntly, it's to rob! Grab money, grab food, grab women.
100,000 horses fighting outside, the economic test for Lu Ren is very exaggerated, more or less he should find a way to make up for the shortcomings, right? Especially in terms of population and labor, Lu Ren actually has a lot of territory, but many, many areas are basically idle, the reason is that there is no population and labor force to develop. Gan Ning came down in a few battles and killed tens of thousands of people, right? For Lu Ren, with these tens of thousands of people cutting down trees and planting land, he can build several towns.
However, Lu Ren added in the order that he wanted to fully brainwash these prisoners...... To put it bluntly, it is to make full use of the slavery system of the Kushan as a breakthrough to promote the policy to the poor soldiers of the middle and lower classes of the Kushan who are willing to surrender, and at the same time give them the right to use the land. To put it simply, I have free land there, do you plough it? If you plow, the tax will come according to our tax rate here, and you can live well as long as you work hard, so do you want to live a prosperous life, or do you want to continue to stay under the command of the Kushan nobles and be a middle- and lower-class poor person who can't eat enough?
You have to admit that this trick will probably always work, both in China and in the West. Chen Li, on the other hand, also made use of the aborigines of the villages around Yangon to carry out "ideological work" on the prisoners. You must know that the aborigines around Yangon were originally under the care of Lu Ren, and their lives were very good, but they were dragged down because of the war in Yangon. Now that Gan Ning has repelled the enemy from the Kushan, these aborigines of course hope that Yangon can help them resume production and life, and at this time use their mentality, words, and actions to impress the prisoners......
Without further ado, when the time entered the spring of the 28th year of Jian'an, some production order in the surrounding villages of Yangon had already begun to be restored, and many prisoners had also joined the sequence of resuming production. Although there are still many people among them who look at the situation first and then talk about it.
The good recovery soon impressed the prisoners, and many of them sneaked home, and then brought their families to Yangon. Of course, there were also many people who had some ideas from other quarters and boarded the ship that sent them here in Rangoon to open up wasteland elsewhere, and went to some areas that Lu Ren had planned, including the Burmese and Thai Ma front, which was led by Cao Chang and Cao Chong.
In any era, there will always be some contradictions between classes, and the problem of Kushan under slavery or semi-slavery is more serious, you must know that around 230 AD, Kushan began to go downhill, and then it was a chaotic situation. If it weren't for this situation, which reduced the pressure from Kushan in South India at that time, it is still questionable whether the Gupta era in India could have appeared later.
Don't go too far, anyway, the internal class problem of Kushan during this period was very serious, and when Yangon was not at war before, there were already a large number of middle- and lower-class poor people in Kushan who ran to Yangon to find a living. And this time the battle launched by the Kushan nobles ended in failure, and the control of the Kushan nobles who lost a large number of troops in the territory under their jurisdiction will naturally decline to varying degrees, plus some prisoners secretly ran back to pick up their families, and even brought back the living conditions of some people in Yangon, so the middle and lower class poor in these areas ran more, and Yangon actually ushered in a new "immigration wave" at this time.
After Chen Li's transfer of military power, he didn't care about the military, but this kind of thing was still under Chen Li's jurisdiction, so Chen Li was in a hurry. Gan Ning is not idle, and the matter of taking people out to loot is getting happier and happier. Even when it came to the back, it was not robbed, it was simply to lead the troops to "pick up".
It's really connected, some of the middle and lower class civilians of Guishan didn't dare to run because they were afraid of the power of the local nobles, but as soon as Gan Ning led the troops over, those Guishan nobles were too busy to take care of themselves, so where could they take care of restricting the poor? And when will the poor who want to live a good life stay if they don't run at this time? As a result, the men and horses brought by Ganning were originally looted, but in the end, they were protecting groups of more or less Kushan poor people back to Yangon......
