After all, Brunei is located in the center of Southeast Asian seas, and its geographical location is relatively important.

Especially when the seafaring fleet of Luren was just starting out, it was obviously not suitable to carry out long-distance voyages all at once, and the distance of this voyage from the port of Yizhou or from the port on the south coast of mainland China to the north coast of Brunei was more suitable. Then in the Brunei region of that era, where were its aborigines the opponents of the boat regiment sent by Lu Ren? What's more, Lu Ren has always been very good at playing the strategy of stabbing people with a soft knife, so it almost didn't take much effort to bring the northern region of Brunei into the palm of his hand.

Then, not long after the end of the Battle of Chibi, Lu Ren got the Jiaozhou Shijia, and then arranged for the Jiaozhou Shijia to divert some children to Brunei for development. Of course, at that time, Lu Ren's main purpose was to take some of the children of the scholar family hostage, and the second was that Lu Ren's own personnel on hand were not enough, so he had to try to transfer some personnel from other aspects. In the subsequent development, Lu Ren would often send the talents cultivated by Yizhou College to Brunei, so as to prevent the children of the Shi family from growing up.

In this way, in the blink of an eye, more than ten years later, Brunei, or the area in the north of Brunei that is under the direct control of Lu Ren, has also developed very well. Although Brunei City is not as good as Yizhou itself, and even worse than Guangzhou and Quanzhou, it is not necessarily much worse than Yizhou in terms of vitality index in that era.

Or it can also be said that although there is no war at all in Yizhou, as the foundation of Lu Ren, there is still a Sun Quan who must be carefully dealt with at any time and anywhere, plus Lu Ren will also have some military actions from time to time, so Yizhou always has strong armaments.

But Brunei is really far away from the battlefield, so naturally there is no need for such a powerful armament, in Lu Ren's words, do you still play armaments without spending money? On the other hand, no matter what Lu Ren said, he also had to guard against the children of the Shi family, so Brunei's armaments have always been maintained at a low level.

Reducing the level of armaments also means that these personnel can be put into the corresponding places as labor, so Brunei has basically been developing productivity, and this is one of the important reasons why Brunei has been able to keep up with the development of several other areas in Luren.

All in all, Brunei at this time can be said to be a peaceful place without the intrusion of war. Agriculture, animal husbandry, industry and commerce are developing very well, and compared with the relatively fast pace of life in Yiguangquan, Brunei is a little slow here, a kind of slow and leisurely that makes people feel very comfortable.

Such a place will naturally attract Zhou Yu's attention. was able to follow Lu Ren's fleet to Brunei, of course, Zhou Yu also got the map provided by Lu Ren, and then Zhou Yu looked at it from the perspective of a military strategist, and immediately found that with Sun Quan's strength, it was basically impossible to break through Lu Ren's naval blockade and come to Brunei.

To put it mildly, with Sun Quan's existing seafaring strength, there is a big question mark over whether he can successfully arrive in Brunei after setting off from Wu County. Here to explain that in the original history, Sun Quan's navigation level was actually very good, and some historical materials and cultural relics can also prove that in the middle and late period of the Three Kingdoms era, Sun Wu had a certain scale of overseas trade. However, the current situation is that the coastal area that should have been taken down by Sun Quan has now fallen into the hands of Lu Ren, and there is nothing to do with Sun Quan, so Sun Quan's achievements in navigation have been limited by Lu Ren.

These are not nonsense, but Zhou Yu is referring to the map, analyzing a lot from a military point of view, and finally coming to the conclusion that if Sun Quan has no need, he must not start a war with Lu Ren. Even if Lu Ren lost Yizhou, or even the entire Yiguangquan front, Lu Ren had a lot of places to retreat, and then regroup and fight back.

Further, Zhou Yu spent a certain amount of time in several of Lu Ren's territories, and learned more and more things, as if he was particularly sensitive to Lu Ren's military and political arrangements. In Zhou Yu's heart, he once imagined that Sun Quan would occupy a certain territory of Lu Ren, but the result was that Sun Quan would never be able to digest the occupied territory in a relatively short period of time.

Not only can it not be digested, but there is a great possibility that it will attract stubborn resistance from the local residents. At this time, unless Sun Quan was to massacre the occupied areas, he could only carry out large-scale military reinforcement operations in the occupied areas. Considering this huge demand for ocean freight...... Sun Quan's little national strength could not afford to fight such a battle.

Since you can't be an enemy, you have to try to make it a friend, this is Zhou Yu's current thoughts. At this moment, Zhou Yu is walking around the neighborhood of Brunei, which can be regarded as a good feeling of the slow but very comfortable pace of life here in Brunei...... But it would be nice if the weather wasn't so hot.

People who want to make a career are eager to be on the battlefield, but unless they are the kind of war maniacs or madmen, there are still many people who want to live a peaceful life in their hearts. And Zhou Yu is just such a person, although he hopes to make contributions on the battlefield, but the same Zhou Yu also likes a quiet and peaceful life. It's like getting older and the edge is fading slightly, and the proportion of thoughts that like a quiet life is also increasing.

Recently, I have been staying in Brunei, putting aside those different thoughts, as well as the relevant training for Jiangdong children, anyway, after those things are over, Zhou Yu's favorite thing to do is to stroll through the streets of Brunei, because this bland, quiet and peaceful atmosphere here is really comfortable.

As a colony created by Lu Ren, cultural invasion is naturally indispensable, so now the official language of Brunei is Chinese, and Zhou Yu has no problem communicating with people here. And the Chinese music played on the gramophone in some shops in the street, of course, is also indispensable to Lu Lan's famous songs, which also proves that Lu Ren has taken root in the Han culture here.

When Zhou Yu was walking on the road and bought a coconut, Lu Lan's song was playing in the store next to him. Zhou Yu liked this song very much, so he leaned on the lamppost and listened quietly while slowly inhaling coconut water.

To say that although Zhou Yu is now in his fifties, his body is still a little fat, but with his handsome appearance and elegant temperament, such a handsome uncle is definitely very attractive to the eyes of girls, at least just for a while, there have been several women here in Brunei who have "passed" in front of Zhou Yu several times.

After listening to a few songs, the coconut in his hand also sucked up the juice. Zhou Yu was about to throw it into the trash, but a hand next to him reached over and snatched the empty coconut. Zhou Yu was stunned and stunned: "Shang Xiang? Why are you here? ”

Sun Shangxiang took the empty coconut in his hand and said with a smile: "Come out and go crazy casually." As for you, Brother Zhong, I have been standing behind you for a while, but you have not noticed it at all, Brother Zhong, which was impossible before. ”

Zhou Yu was stunned again, and then laughed at himself: "I'm older, my reaction is not as sharp as before." ”

Saying that, Zhou Yu swept around the surrounding environment again, and said with a smile: "But seriously, such a quiet and peaceful life here will also make people unconsciously put their body and mind very wide." ”

Sun Shangxiang shrugged, then nodded: "This is, life here is really too comfortable." There is no intrusion of war, no one bullies the weak, and everyone lives in peace and contentment. It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that this is a paradise or a fairyland on earth, but it is not an exaggeration to say that this is a place of tranquility and tranquility. ”

Zhou Yu also nodded, but he was secretly thinking in his heart that he was determined to assist Sun Ce and Sun Quan at the beginning, as if he had the intention of making contributions in the troubled times, but he didn't think much about the idea of letting the people live such a peaceful life? After many years, seeing such a peaceful place, it seems a little ...... to think back to my younger self

A crisp sound of "click" next to him interrupted Zhou Yu's thoughts, but when he turned his head to look, it was Sun Shangxiang who split the coconut that he had just drunk empty, and then broke off a piece of coconut shell, opened his mouth and gnawed the coconut meat inside. Zhou Yu couldn't laugh or cry, shook his head and said, "Shang Xiang, you are also my Jiangdong County Lord, can you pay more attention to your appearance?" ”

Sun Shangxiang smiled: "It's not a big deal." If it's a formal occasion, I'll pay attention, but usually...... Well, what did Lu Zhengnan say? Oh yes, girls are serious when they should be serious, and if they are not so serious, if they are always so stiff, and they are always so polite, others look too fake, and they are actually very tired. Why should people always restrain themselves all the time? That's right, it's called the individual self. ”

Zhou Yu also half-understood these words. But looking at Sun Shangxiang's very comfortable appearance, Zhou Yu didn't want to criticize anything. And here, Sun Shangxiang took a few bites and threw it to the attendant who accompanied him, and then raised his hand and pointed ahead: "The coconut wine in the wine shop in front is very famous, Brother Zhong will drink some together?" ”

Zhou Yu nodded, and then the group sat in the wine shop. After a few rounds of drinking, Zhou Yu looked at the people who lived here very well, and suddenly asked Sun Shangxiang: "Shangxiang, you said that if we Jiangdong...... No, it would be great if our entire Central Plains Continent could live such a peaceful and peaceful life like here. ”

Sun Shangxiang was stunned, looked around for a week, nodded and said, "Yes!" It would be great if everyone could live like this. But now the Central Plains Continent ......"

Zhou Yu shook his head: "There are still many wars in the Central Plains Continent, and foreign enemies are also coming to intrude. Perhaps what we should do is to end this kind of war and drive out the enemy, and give the people of our Central Plains such a peaceful day. ”

Sun Shangxiang was silent for a moment and responded: "I asked Lu Zhengnan such a question, but Lu Zhengnan told me helplessly that he was afraid that the war would not end in twenty or thirty years. When I asked why, Lu Zhengnan said that it was because this was an era of heroes, but heroes and heroes often could not coexist. Only when these heroes are almost dead, and there are only one or two left, will this troubled world be ended by the remaining heroes. ”

Zhou Yu sighed: "Indeed, how can any hero be willing to live under others?" ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "This kind of thing itself is inexplicable. According to Lu Zhengnan, there is no absolute right or wrong in this world. Cao, Liu, Sun and Lu are all in the world, and they are constantly competing with each other, who is right and who is wrong? And whether it's right or wrong, aren't the people in the territory all living a peaceful life the same? They are all the same kind to the people, who is wrong? ”

Speaking of these, Sun Shangxiang himself didn't understand much, and Zhou Yu felt a headache, and then both of them wisely chose not to bother with more tongues and brain cells on this issue.

"Well, anyway, we are here to protect the majesty of the country, and we just need to fight our battles when we get to the place. By the way, Shang Xiang, is there any news from Lu Zhengnan? How long are we going to stay in Brunei? Zhou Yu shook his head: "There are still many wars in the Central Plains Continent, and foreign enemies are also coming to intrude. Perhaps what we should do is to end this kind of war and drive out the enemy, and give the people of our Central Plains such a peaceful day. ”

Sun Shangxiang was silent for a moment and responded: "I asked Lu Zhengnan such a question, but Lu Zhengnan told me helplessly that he was afraid that the war would not end in twenty or thirty years. When I asked why, Lu Zhengnan said that it was because this was an era of heroes, but heroes and heroes often could not coexist.
