Volume 3 Chapter 45 The North Plans the South
When the sun sets, it's still that beach. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Tuoba Yu had already left, and after Lu Ren had been sitting on the beach for a long time, he silently used the chip communication to ask Shirley over there: "Shirley, do you think I'm bad like this?" ”
Shirley immediately responded, "Not only is it bad, but it's also scumbag...... Other little girls like you, but you take advantage of other people's little girls like you to induce her to do things she doesn't like to do. ”
Lu Ren smiled bitterly: "So what? At least I asked her to do a serious business, not to let her engage in any male thieves and prostitutes. ”
Shirley said: "But no matter what, it's always a use." ”
Lu Ren scratched his scalp: "Use it, use it, who let me stay in my position now?" But I still can't figure it out, I'm in my forties now, if I throw back to our own era as a standard lewd uncle, belonging to the category of cheating little Lori with strawberry-flavored lollipops on the streets, how can there be a little girl like me? ”
Shirley smiled deliciously: "Master, you are too modest. How could you be the kind of person who used lollipops to cheat little Lori? It should belong to the kind of girl who drives a BMW Audi to which art school to pick up and raise, right? ”
“…… You're getting sharper and sharper. Forget about these irregularities, I can see that Tuoba Yu has made up his mind to make me look up to her, then the matter of the two clans leaving for Liaoxi next month can basically be decided, and we have to make some relevant preparations. ”
Shirley answered, and then responded: "According to the news from the other side of the beard, Lao Cao may be retiring." ”
Lu Ren let out an "oh" and groaned: "Lao Cao's water army is not good, and on the whole, the preparations he has made are still not sufficient as the original history, and it is not so easy to settle Sun Quan, so it is normal to pack up and go back to the old nest when it is almost time." On the other hand, Lao Cao is now planning the affairs of the famous duke, and the fight between him and the old ministers of the Han court is very fierce, and if he sends troops for too long, it is easy for the backyard to catch fire. But these have nothing to do with us, and we have to pay attention to the matter of getting Xun You to Yizhou. ”
Shirley: "Master, should we show a little bit when Lao Cao is the father?" ”
Lu Renle said: "Of course, we have to express something, but this expression is not to congratulate him on becoming a duke, but to write a letter to scold him and make our position clear." In fact, I even thought about who would write this letter, of course, it was written by our old and strong old man Zheng Xuan, and the pen of old man Zheng has weight.
"But that's all, because Lao Cao is not afraid of being scolded, the more he scolds, the more energetic he will be, and for us, the business we should do is still the same. Slogans are a lot of the time to shout, don't take it seriously, it's a nerd. ”

In the blink of an eye, in the third year of the eighteenth year of Jian'an, Lao Cao finally withdrew from the army.
It's not that Lu Ren is like a god, but that Lu Ren knows that although he can change some processes, because he has always stayed in the border areas and taken the "edge ball" type of stable construction and development, many things are not something that he can influence if he wants to.
And the biggest problem on Lao Cao's side is not in the military, but in the political struggle of the internal group, which makes Lao Cao from the beginning of his intention to become a duke, so that Lao Cao can no longer lead troops to fight outside for a long time as before. It has been a year since Lao Cao gathered his troops last spring, and if Lao Cao doesn't hurry back to his nest to suppress the opposition, God knows what will happen to his old nest.
But just when Lao Cao's army retreated, Xun You, who was with the army, suddenly disappeared in the middle of the night, as if the world had suddenly evaporated, and Lao Cao was so angry that he was like thunder. Since Xun Yu left, Lao Cao has not been without precautions against Xun You who followed him in the army, but he is so precautionary and so precautionary, Xun You is still gone, can Lao Cao not be angry? It is said that at that time, Lao Cao was so angry that he had his old problem.
Of course, this is actually Lu Ren's masterpiece, and even Lao Cao can guess that this must be Lu Ren's masterpiece. As early as when Xun Yu arrived in Yizhou, Lu Ren had already sent people over to engage in underground activities, waiting for Lao Cao to "steal" Xun Yu when he retreated. When the time comes, isn't it easy to "steal"?
At the same time, more than 700 people from the two tribes of Murong Ziying and Tuoba Yu finally boarded the sea ship to Youbeiping, preparing to integrate the Xianbei Sanbu in Tianchou after arriving at Tianchou in Youbeiping, and then go to the area of western Liaoning to start activities. This will take some time, so I won't talk about it for now.
On the Jingzhou side, after Zhuge Liang returned to Jiangling, he began to recruit laborers as agreed, under the banner of helping his ally Lu Ren go to Guiyang to build a trade road. And Zhou Yu on the Chaisang side knew that after learning the news, it was better not to fight Jingzhou for the time being, because it was obvious that Lu Ren and Zhuge Liang had reached some kind of agreement, and if he really wanted to make a move, he would definitely provoke Liu Bei and Lu Ren's two opponents, which was too cost-effective. In contrast, it is better to stabilize the existing areas and train and wait for opportunities.
In the blink of an eye in April, Xun You finally came to Yizhou.
Lu Ren and Xun Youna are also old acquaintances, and they will inevitably have some emotion after meeting each other. And after some conversation, Xun You made a request that surprised Lu Ren, that is, Xun You wanted to go to another place for a while first, instead of staying here in Yizhou directly. According to Xun You, if you stay directly here with Lu Ren now, it is likely to bring some unnecessary trouble to Lu Ren...... To use this analogy, if something is stolen from someone and is immediately put at home, the person who stole it will of course come to find trouble. But if you hide it for a while, it won't be so troublesome to take it out and use it after the limelight has passed, and it's easier to talk here at that time.
So Lu Ren agreed to Xun You's request. To be honest, there are many places where Rokuin can take refuge from the limelight, Jeju Island, Samhan, Wado, and Luzon, all of which are places where you can take refuge from the limelight. But at this time, Deng Ai from Nanzhong sent a telegram over, saying that the situation in Nanzhong was a bit troublesome, and hoped that Lu Ren could send some people over to support.
And when Lu Ren asked Xun You's opinion, Xun You's response really made Lu Ren cry and laugh a little: "I heard that the land of Nanzhong is rich in fine tea and tobacco, yes or no?" ”
The Nanzhong region was originally rich in high-quality tea, and after Lu Ren reached an agreement with Meng Shu and others, he introduced tobacco into the Nanzhong region for planting, because the climate in Nanzhong was suitable for the growth of tobacco, in fact, the tobacco in Yunnan was also very famous in later generations.
It has been three or four years now, and the tobacco in Nanzhong has officially become the main trading goods for more than two years, and it has become one of the most profitable things here in Luren, and it has long been sold to various regions and has become a hobby in the hands of many people. It's just that Lu Ren didn't expect Xun You to like this thing...... Maybe people who like to think can easily like tobacco that can make their minds clearer, right?
According to Xun You, when Lao Cao reads in the military tent every night, he will definitely hold a copper hookah in his hand. According to unreliable information, when Lao Cao smokes, it can actually relieve Lao Cao's headache to a certain extent.
Anyway, Xun You just ran to Nanzhong......
————————————————————
Four years ago, the Abu clan was eradicated by Lu Ren and Meng Huo and other tribes, but the Abu clan can only be regarded as a wealthy clan in a certain area, although Meng Huo and other tribes have taken over those areas with the support of Lu Ren, but they really want to expand the scope, and there are still many opponents to face.
Lu Ren sent Deng Ai to Nanzhong, and Deng Ai's advice to Meng Shu and others was not to passively defend and wait for all ethnic groups in Nanzhong, but to actively send people out to lobby and win over, and then start fighting when it really didn't work.
Lu Ren, on the other hand, has always appeared as a friendly businessman, and his usual transactions are fair and reasonable, and he will give some poor southern and central tribes some help from time to time. Therefore, in the minds of the Southern Central Clan, Lu Ren is a good person who often helps them, so they are happy to adopt the suggestions put forward by Lu Ren and Deng Ai.
For the southern and central tribes who did not cooperate much, Deng Ai cut off the trade with them according to Lu Ren's wishes, and it quickly achieved results. Because after so many years, many southern and central tribes have become accustomed to trading with Lu Ren in exchange for a large amount of grain, rice and daily necessities that they need. Lu Ren suddenly cut off trade contacts, which was really not much different from cutting off the livelihood of many southern and central tribes. It can be seen from this that Lu Ren borrowed the European colonial period to adopt a commodity offensive and economic control strategy against the Indians in North America.
By the end of the autumn of the eighteenth year of Jian'an, there were no less than twenty southern and central tribes who came to unite with Meng Huo, and there were even a few other tribes that were originally attached to the local Dahao clan, and Deng Ai also obtained some internal information about those tribes.
Among them is a Gu clan. Not long ago, the patriarch of the Gu clan died of illness, leaving behind four sons. Among the four sons, the eldest son had died in the battle for power within the clan, and the second son was the first to attack, and a few days after the successful struggle for the throne, he received the envoy from Liu Zhang's side and accepted the official seal granted by Liu Zhang. Judging from all aspects, he must have secretly colluded with Liu Zhang a long time ago, otherwise, with his identity and ability as the second son of a clan, where could he secretly gather forces that could control the entire clan?
The third and fourth sons couldn't fight the second son in the tribal infighting, so they took a part of the clansmen who were unwilling to obey the orders of the second son to the Jianning area to defect to Deng Ai and Meng Huo. And the Gu clan people they brought accounted for about thirty percent of the entire Gu clan...... (To be continued.) )
