Volume 3 Chapter 78 Lost in War
"No way, if you don't fight, you can't do it! You also don't know that in the previous battle of Juyongguan, although we have been deliberately concealing our strength, because of a series of accidents, some of our edges have been revealed prematurely. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info If at this time, we don't find a suitable opponent to fight, it seems that we are being dragged by other forces, I am afraid that we will be targeted by Cao Mengde......"
The people present were basically human spirits, so after listening to Xun Yu's words, they all reacted immediately.
It is not a secret that Lu Ren wants to stretch out his evil claws to Liaoxi, and it can even be said that even Lao Cao's side knows that Lu Ren wants to attack Liaoxi, but the situation in Liaoxi is relatively chaotic, and there is a Liaodong staring at him, so Lao Cao didn't pay much attention to this, and even gave Lu Ren the post of Liaoxi Assassin, whose intention was to let Lu Ren lose his strength in Liaoxi, and then help Lao Cao make a wedding dress by the way.
On the other hand, Lu Ren of course also understood this, so he implemented the strategy of "preferring to be slow for three points rather than grabbing a second" for the western Liaoning region, and was ready to defeat the key foothold of Liucheng (now Jinzhou, Liaoning) when the old Cao soldiers sent Hanzhong and his main army was out of reach of the whip commander in western Liaoning. However, before Lao Cao didn't go to fight Hanzhong, Lu Ren didn't want to make any excessive moves, lest Lao Cao not fight Hanzhong under suspicion, but instead focus on Lu Ren's body.
However, the military operations of Nengchen Di and Kebineng were not expected by Lu Ren, and Lu Ren had to send reinforcements to support Juyong Pass due to many factors. Lu Ren's original intention was to help him as a nurse or auxiliary professional similar to the game without revealing some of his strength, which is why Lu Ren only used regular cavalry and infantry for the three times before and after.
You must know that there are more than 2,000 musketeers in Chrysanthemum Port, but none of the more than 2,000 musketeers have shown up in the support operation of Juyong Pass, because this thing is easy to attract the attention of Lao Cao, so Lu Ren would rather send a large number of high-quality crossbows to Juyong Pass than send these musketeers.
However, the inexplicable chaos brought about by the wind lantern, as well as Lu Lingqi's attack and killing of Kebineng, and some other messy accidents, are likely to make Lao Cao focus his attention on Lu Ren, and according to the report of Lu Ren's intelligence officers, Lao Cao seems to have such a movement on his side, which is a bit of a prickly attack for Lu Ren.
Not to mention anything else, if Lao Cao didn't go to Hanzhong because he was staring at Lu Ren, Lu Ren would not only have no chance to grab Liucheng and have no time to consolidate it, but if the next step was to face Lao Cao's military attack, then Lu Ren would definitely fall into a rather unfavorable situation, and it was even very likely that all the efforts made by Lu Ren in Liaoxi in the past two years would be in vain.
So at this time, Lu Ren felt the need to create an opponent for himself, and then made a look of limited strength and stalemate, which made Lao Cao's heart relax, and then went to fight Hanzhong with peace of mind. At this point in time, the most suitable person to become Lu Ren's "opponent" is probably only the Gongsun clan of Liaodong.
In other words, if Lu Ren and the Gongsun clan of Liaodong fought and fought in a stalemate, no one could help anyone, Lao Cao would be relieved to attack Hanzhong, and at the same time, he would also hope that Lu Ren and the Gongsun clan would be exhausted, so when Lao Cao came back from Hanzhong, he would either directly send troops to clean up Lu Ren and the Gongsun clan, or put on the appearance of a peacemaker and persuade Lu Ren and the Gongsun clan to negotiate a truce in the name of the court...... Anyway, Lu Ren just wanted to create such an illusion for Lao Cao, otherwise it would be difficult for Lu Ren's later tricks to come out.
In addition to these, Lu Ren has another purpose. Didn't Kobi die in battle? Aren't many Xianbei tribes scattered? Lu Ren's next step was to ask Tuoba Yu to come forward to collect these Xianbei scattered tribes, but just relying on Tuoba Yu and Murong Ziying to contact these Xianbei scattered tribes in a normal way, their efficiency was inevitably a little too low.
Also, the Gongsun clan in Liaodong has always had a close connection with the Xianbei tribe, and at this point in time, Tuoba Yu's name and strength on the surface are far inferior to the Gongsun clan, so when the two sides are competing for these Xianbei scattered tribes, where can Tuoba Yu compete for the Gongsun clan? Therefore, at this time, Lu Ren needs to make some noise, which can be regarded as giving Tuoba Yu some advertising effect and enhancing some Tuoba Yu's efforts to fight for Xianbei Sanbu.
I won't talk too much about this, anyway, Lu Ren and Xun Yu said everything that should be said in the conference hall, and the next thing is to see what kind of ideas this group of staff will come up with, and this battle must be fought.
After a group of people got together in twos and threes and discussed for a while, Xu Shu stood up first and said to Lu Ren: "Lord Mingjian, since ancient times, the teacher should be famous, if the teacher is unknown, not to mention that this battle is not easy to fight, I am afraid it will not work on Lao Cao's side." And the lord also knows that although we are not friendly with the Gongsun of Liaodong, we are also well water and do not interfere with river water, and there are always some trade contacts between each other. ā
Lu Ren nodded, and said in his heart that this was a problem, but fortunately, Lao Tzu had read a lot of historical materials, and he already had a preliminary plan for this matter. So after smiling, Lu Ren set his eyes on Lu Xun and Sun Shangxiang, who had rushed back from Wadao, and asked, "County Lord, Bo Yan, have you taken in some displaced people from Liaodong there?" ā
Lu Xun and Sun Shangxiang nodded. Liaodong is not far from Jeju Island and Wado Island, and it is not uncommon for some displaced people from Liaodong to run to Jeju Island and Wado Island through the fleet of Yiju to run a boat and beg for a living, but the number of people is relatively small, and they mainly help work on the ship, which is a temporary sailor hired in modern terms.
In fact, the navigation industry in Liaodong was not bad, and the Jiaozhou Peninsula was occupied for a period of time by sea attack during the Gongsun Du period, and in the middle and late period of the Three Kingdoms period, Gongsun Yuan sent a fleet to Sun Quan. Now that Lu Ren has stepped in, the navigation industry in Liaodong has also been affected to a certain extent, and it is normal for many temporary sailors to find something to do on the ship.
Seeing the two nodding, Lu Ren asked, "Then can you think of a way to arrange for the 'lost' one or two merchant ships to Liaodong?" And on the ship...... Forget it, let's get some blood and put a thousand catties of silver on the ship. If this money is not enough, others will not be tempted, and if we don't lose much in retrospect, this will also make people think that we are making a big fuss. ā
āā¦ā¦ā
They are all human spirits, how can they not understand the meaning of Lu Ren's words? It's just that Lu Ren's trick is too bad?
Looking at Lu Xun again, he frowned and groaned for a while, then nodded and said, "It's not a difficult thing. But since my brother wants to act, he has to act like a little, and the amount of silver is too little. Liaodong has no grudge against us, if the amount of bait thrown by the brother is not enough, and it can't arouse the greed of the people on the Liaodong side, then they in turn feel that this is an opportunity to make friends with the brother, and return the people, ships, and goods to the brother, not only can they be a favor, brother, aren't you bad here to make another move? ā
Everyone nodded in unison. Although a thousand catties of silver is a lot, it may not be enough for a fairly large force. And anyone who is a little smarter will not turn his face with Lu Ren for such a little money. Are you joking when Lu Ren's reputation at sea has been going on for so many years?
At this point, Lu Ren also felt that he was a little petty. How much can a thousand catties of silver actually have? Even according to the silver ratio in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was only 10,000 taels! If one tael of silver is about equivalent to three hundred dollars in modern times, then ten thousand taels of silver is also three million dollars, and for a power group, what is three million enough?
So Lu Ren waved his hand to Lu Xun very decisively and said, "Bo Yan, you can watch it!" If you think it's appropriate, just do it, and we don't care about it. ā
Lu Xun nodded, and immediately made a calculation in his heart. After a while, Lu Xun looked at Lu Ren with some embarrassment.
Lu Ren understood what Lu Xun meant, and after greeting everyone, he came to a secluded and uninhabited place with Lu Xun, and asked, "Bo Yan, what do you want to say?" ā
Lu Xun said in a low voice: "I'm thinking, money alone may not be enough, so I think we should also catch some people." ā
Lu Renqi said: "Catch up with some people? What do you mean? ā
Lu Xun said: "I mean to say that there are people in this world who are greedy for money, and some people who are greedy for sex. People in the world are always difficult to covet the words wine, lust and wealth, and money is a dead thing, people are living things, and many times the temptation of beautiful women is more difficult to resist than money. ā
Lu Ren was stunned: "You mean the beauty plan?" No kidding, how could I send our sister paper from Yizhou over to make a mess? ā
Lu Xun hugged his fist and saluted Lu Ren: "Brother is kind-hearted, how can Xun not know?" However, Xun didn't say that he would use our innocent woman in Yizhou to do such a despicable thing. ā
Lu Ren hesitated: "Could it be that you want the Qinglou woman to do it?" ā
Don't be surprised, in ancient times, it was difficult to explain clearly. When it comes to the originator of the Qinglou industry, it is the master of the people. And Lu Ren himself is not a good bird, of course he will allow this thing to exist, but it is just a formal management. Really speaking, in some Western countries, isn't the green building industry also legal? There is no right or wrong in many things, the key is reasonable and effective management.
However, Lu Xun shook his head: "They are not suitable." The aura of the woman in the wind and dust, but anyone with a little insight can see it, and it is not convenient for the brother to do this. ā
Lu Ren was confused: "That...... What do you want to do? ā
Lu Xun was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "My brother hasn't cared about the matter of Wadao for too long, but I know that my brother there trusts me to do so." Actually, we can ......"
Lu Ren then understood, and said in surprise: "Do you want those women from Wadao to go up?" ā
Another sentence, Lu Ren didn't say it, that is, do you know that those Japanese women are likely to be more Qinglou than Qinglou? It seems that there are not many people who can withstand this wave. But after a little thought, my heart said that my purpose is not to make the people over there in Liaodong reluctant to let go? So wouldn't it be just right that the woman sent out was enough to be prodigal and sassy enough?
However, Lu Xun's next sentence made the corners of Lu Ren's mouth twitch: "Please rest assured, Brother Cibei will not move, because Xun knows that Cibei will be a forbidden ...... for his brother sooner or later."
Lu Ren waved his fist at Lu Xun: "If you say this again, I'll beat you!" ā
Lu Xun dodged for a moment, and responded with a smile: "Brother, you don't have to be like this!" In fact, at the right time, brother, if you can get the second low, then with the status of the second low, won't the brother become the holy king of Wajima? ā
The corners of Lu Ren's mouth twitched again, and he said in his heart, "You want me to be the rhythm of the so-called A.A.A. God of their Wajima?" But think about it again...... It's really a long time since I've seen her, and this little girl is very sassy. And at this time, the second humiliation is in his twenties, and it is the time when the commotion is at its highest. Thinking back to the first few interactions, Lu Ren was more or less moved, at least a certain part of his body actually had a reaction to raise his head a little......
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā
I won't talk about the mess, and I will only add a few words at the end, that is, why did Lu Ren call people from all regions back for a meeting this time to discuss the matter of starting a war with Liaodong? The reason is actually very simple, that is, Lu Ren is going to engage in a large-scale military operation this time, and there are not one or two people staring at Lu Ren. In addition, Lu Ren's battle line is very long, and all aspects must be prepared accordingly, so as not to be taken advantage of by others.
After discussing the details of the discussion, the participants were all dispersed, and only Lu Ren and Shirley were left in the hall. Shirley looked at Lu Ren, who was still checking the map and sand table, and after being silent for a long time, she said to Lu Ren: "Master, this time you raised troops to the north, and the disadvantages caused to all parts of Yiquan are not limited to one place. If the situation changes, I am afraid that all our nearly 20 years of hard work will be ruined, so you must be careful and careful. ā
Lu Ren said: "I know this better than you. But Shirley, there are some things I can't say to them, you know what I can't say? ā
Shirley shook her head.
Lu Ren said: "Our current strength is also good. Excluding those local corps in Nanzhong and Liaoning, our strength in the main areas of Yizhou, Quanzhou, and Guangzhou is 20,000 troops, 35,000 naval forces, and about 60,000 troops if we count the others. However, not many of these soldiers have actually been on the battlefield and fought. Soldier thing...... Training is important, but if you haven't experienced a real baptism of war, you'll still be a little bit worse. Therefore, taking advantage of this incident, I still have the intention of training the troops and conducting a large-scale military exercise. ā
Taking the water handed over by Shirley, Lu Ren muttered, "Also, we can now say that we can be said to be the overlord of the sea in this era, right?" So do you think our current achievements can be compared with the shipping capacity of the Song and Song dynasties? But what is the final outcome of the two songs? ā
The shipping capacity of the Two Song Dynasty was the peak of China's maritime history, but the rulers of the Two Song Dynasty failed to make good use of the wealth obtained from the shipping industry, and were finally deceived by Liao and Jin and destroyed by the Yuan. The most important thing is that the Liao, Jin, and Yuan happened to be nomads in the north.
Looking at Lu Ren again, he sighed again: "Our current situation looks a bit similar to the situation of the two songs, but in fact it is far from the same, okay?" And I have the experience of the two songs, but I don't want to take a similar route to the two songs. I'll admit that I kind of want to take sides and live my own life, but I still want to be aggressive when it's time to get ahead. After discussing the details of the discussion, the participants were all dispersed, and only Lu Ren and Shirley were left in the hall. Shirley looked at Lu Ren, who was still checking the map and sand table, and after being silent for a long time, she said to Lu Ren: "Master, this time you raised troops to the north, and the disadvantages caused to all parts of Yiquan are not limited to one place.
