The night is not quiet, nor is it deep. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info or rather, the night in Yizhou is deeper, so at least at the beginning of the day (23 o'clock).

When Lu Ren and Xun Yu left the conference hall, Lu Ren asked Xun Yu if he wanted to have some supper, and Xun Yu agreed to go to Mangjia's seafood shop. On this hot day, it's a pleasure to take a few sips of a cold beer and eat a few bites of spicy seafood in the middle of the night.

Of course, they would talk while walking, and after chatting a few words of gossip, Xun Yu glanced back at Lu Ren's mansion and said to Lu Ren in a deep voice: "Yihao, although Shizai's ability is good, you have to pay attention to the arrogance in the depths of his heart." It's too rigid and easy to break, and I think you understand this very well. ”

Lu Ren smiled and responded: "Young people, it's normal to have arrogance and impulsiveness in their bones. It takes time and twists and turns to smooth out these corners. In fact, Shizai's child is really good, and he can at least hold down his temperament in the face of major events. What kind of virtue did you think Old Man Huang was a few days ago? When I heard that we were going to send Gan Ning to Liaodong this time, he was so angry that he almost didn't slap the table with me. ”

Xun Yu also smiled: "It's not enough to turn your face, but it's certain that you don't accept the old." However, we don't send him to naturally have our reasons, the army is fighting outside, and the garrison of Yizhou cannot be relaxed, and in terms of the ability to defend the land, Huang Hansheng is still above Ganxingba. In addition, Gan Xingba has been to the north several times, and he also has some understanding of the geographical environment in that area, which is also where Huang Hansheng is not as good as Gan Xingba in this battle. ”

Lu Ren nodded: "It was because I considered this problem that I decided to let Gan Ning command the navy this time." I set a few tactical questions for Shizai before, in fact, I also wanted to see if Shizai, the kid, had any plans about attacking Liaodong. Thankfully, this kid didn't disappoint me. ”

Xun Yu said: "Do you know that the plans you set can't be beaten?" ”

Lu Ren said: "I really can't do it, but Yuan Zhi can do it!" So I had already asked Yuan Zhi and Bo Yan before this, and they didn't agree with my idea. It has been almost thirty years since Gongsun Du's generation began, and Gongsun Du is also a figure that cannot be underestimated. Let's put it this way, if he had the knowledge and skills of me and Shirley, and his life would be a little longer, then he might not have my Lu Ren in this world at all. Compared to Gongsun Du, I lack some courage and courage. ”

Xun Yu said: "But you are much more stable and down-to-earth." This is the truth, not a compliment to you. Yihao, to be honest, I'm in my fifties, so I really don't know how many more years I can help you. My only hope now is that I hope to see you take Liaodong and Fuyu in my lifetime, and form a coercive force against Cao Mengde, so that he will not dare to make any more excessive moves against the Han family and the Son of Heaven. As long as I don't see anything like this happen when I close my eyes, I can die with peace of mind. ”

Lu Renxin said that this matter is probably not easy to say. In the original history, Lao Cao entered the title of King of Wei for 21 years in Jian'an, and if this process did not change, then the time left for Lu Ren was only a little more than a year. With just over a year's time, maybe Lu Ren can take Liaodong and Liaoxi under the premise of having any chances, but it is a bit unlikely to form an oppressive situation against Lao Cao. Don't you develop and consolidate production after Liaodong and Liaoxi are taken down?

Of course, if it is to take a step back and make Lao Cao dare not seek the throne, Lu Ren is very sure. In fact, Lao Cao himself has no intention of becoming an emperor, or Lao Cao can't wipe off the last bit of face. And there are too many things involved in this, and I can't figure it out at all for a while, so I won't say much. Looking back, if Lu Ren has so much time, I believe that he can completely digest Liaodong and Liaoxi, then he can also let Lao Cao get a step down when the time comes. Lao Cao has to keep fighting with those wealthy forces, it's actually not easy, isn't it?

After chatting for a while, Lu Ren and Xun Yu had already come to the store, and after saying hello, they entered the special box. After the appetizer was drunk, Xun Yu asked quietly: "Yihao, Shizai mentioned before that Goguryeo might support Liaodong, but you said you don't need to worry, so what do you think?" ”

Lu Ren glanced at Xun Yu with strange eyes: "Xun Gong, are you teasing me?" With your shrewdness, I don't believe you will fail to see how much preparation I have made. ”

Xun Yu smiled and said nothing, and just wanted to speak after taking a few sips of wine, but heard the sound of a fight downstairs. The guards were summoned to see what was going on, and after a while, the guards replied: "It was a few drunks who had drunk a few more glasses and pretended to be crazy when they went out, and they were taught a lesson." But ......"

"But what?"

"It was Mrs. Xiu and Lord Sun who taught the drunk a lesson."

“……”

Lu Ren mourned for the drunks. Minchan and Sun Shangxiang are both characters with a force value of more than eighty, and it is strange that a few drunk people are not beaten to death. Then again, if these drunks can withstand the joint efforts of Minchan and Sun Shangxiang, Lu Ren will have to think about taking these drunks into each other, because the strength of such drunks will not be too bad.

After hearing this, Xun Yu smiled: "Yihao, since Lord Sun is also here, don't you invite her to come up and have a few drinks?" Calculate the time, you'll have to send her out in a few days. ”

Lu Ren said: "I knew you saw my plan. Okay, go and ask Mrs. Xiu and Lord Sun to come up. ”

Not long after, Minchan and Sun Shangxiang also came to the box. They are all acquaintances, and they don't have to be too polite, so they sit down very casually. After a few cups, after a few more small talks, Sun Shangxiang, who was thinking about it, naturally shifted the topic to Zhao Yu and Lu Lingqi, who were now in western Liaoning, and there was also a lot of envy in their words.

Listening to Sun Shangxiang's words, Lu Ren and Xun Yu smiled at each other, and then Lu Ren smiled and said, "The county lord wants to go to war?" ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "Of course I want to! Although there were many battles in Wajima before, it was ...... Seriously, what is war? It was all a group of people who were no more than five feet tall and had extremely rudimentary equipment, and Bo Yan and I led the soldiers over, just like a group of adults bullying those children. And in many cases, they are shocked without even fighting. There were even pretense attempts to challenge us, and then they surrendered and went to work in the pit in order to change their food and clothing. ”

Lu Ren was dumbfounded. Lu Xun also told Lu Ren in private about this matter, to put it bluntly, the productivity of Wadao at that time was very low, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a primitive social group in slash-and-burn. Although there were only about 5,000 men and horses brought by Lu Xun and Sun Shangxiang, they were well-trained and well-equipped, and they were armed with the tribal weapons of those Japanese people, which was simply a watermelon knife used by professional soldiers with AK to deal with the ruffians and hooligans.

In the past few years, the silver mining towns of Yamadai and Satomiyama have become very large-scale, and the living standards of the residents are relatively high, which naturally has a high attraction to many tribes who were still in a near-primitive social state on Wajima at that time, so naturally many people want to squeeze into Yamadai and the silver mining towns to make a living.

And what if people don't notice you? deliberately made some movements, and then sat back and waited for Lu Xun and Sun Shangxiang's troops to come over, and then accepted "Zhao'an" and entered the two fields as prisoners and laborers. Anyway, there is such a rule in Yamatai and Silver Mine Town, that is, as long as you are not a heinous crime and must be killed, then as long as you are willing to work honestly, then you can be released after a few years of punishment.

Those who are willing to stay are of course welcome, and those who do not want to stay are welcome to go back by yourself. However, during the period of punishment for work, there is no shortage of food and drink, after all, the mining of silver requires a lot of labor. If you do well, you may also have the opportunity to become a full-fledged resident of Yamatai or Silvermines, and you or your children can attend a local school...... Forget it, anyway, the strategy of radish and stick Lu Ren played very slippery.

However, it is precisely because the territory on the Wajima side has developed well, especially the silver produced in Satomiyama is currently the most important source of precious metals on Lu Ren's hands, so Lu Ren has also appropriately increased some troops on the Wajima side, which naturally includes the navy.

Let's put it this way, the commander-in-chief arranged by Lu Ren on the side of Wadao is Lu Xun, the commander of the army is Sun Shangxiang, and the commander of the navy is Ling Yuan. The number of naval ships stationed on Wajima has grown from a few dozen at the beginning to more than 100 now. There are two to three ships a year to carry the silver and special products produced in Wajima to Yizhou, and naturally the navy is indispensable for escort. In general, there is still some naval strength on the other side of Wajima.

I won't talk about this, just say that after Sun Shangxiang showed some thoughts more or less between eating and drinking, Lu Ren smiled at Sun Shangxiang: "Since the county lord wants to show his skills in front of the two armies, I can also arrange it." But the county lord, let's still say the same thing, your identity is a little special after all, I can't arrange you to a very dangerous place, but I can pick some soft pistles to come out and let the county lord pinch you and get over it, otherwise I won't be able to explain to Wu Hou when I turn back. ”

"Know, know...... Well? What do you mean, sir...... Got a battle to fight? Is it for me to fight Liaodong? ”

Lu Ren immediately shook his head: "Liaodong is not the place where you want to go, and it is difficult to say what kind of situation will happen after the fight in Liaodong, considering your special status as the county lord, of course it is impossible for me to put you on the battlefield in Liaodong." ”

Sun Shangxiang was very disappointed: "I can't participate in the affairs of Liaodong, so where is there a war to fight?" ”

Lu Ren and Xun Yu shook their heads, and then Xun Yu dipped his fingers in water and drew a rough map on the table: "Definitely!" After the battle broke out on the Liaodong side, although the county lord could not participate in it, with the geographical location of Wa Island, he wanted the county lord to lead a partial fleet to make a feint attack on Goguryeo in the coastal zone to the east...... Yoshiho, that's what you mean, right? ”

Lu Ren nodded: "Not bad." The Liaodong Gongsun clan has always been at odds with the Karasuma tribes in terms of diplomacy, and in the early years, Karasuma was powerful, and in order to be able to compete with Bunton, Gongsun Du was mainly associated with the surrounding Xianbei and Goguryeo. Now we have to deal with Liaodong, Xianbei has Murong Ziying, Tuoba Yu, Yu Yatou, Ling Yatou and they share a share of Xianbei's momentum, but Goguryeo has no means because he has no dealings with us.

"But geographically, the towns of Yamadae and Silver Mines under our control are not far from the eastern coast of Goguryeo, so it is more convenient to send a fleet from you to launch some attacks on Goguryeo. I don't need you to attack the city and plunder the land, and I don't need you to attack the city and plunder the land, as long as the attack made by your fleet make Goguryeo exhausted and unable to send troops to reinforce Liaodong.

"To be honest, Goguryeo's military strength is only tens of thousands, and the naval strength is equal to zero, so it is not difficult for you to do this. But then again, you have to fight decently, otherwise Goguryeo will think that you are no threat, and then send troops to Liaodong to reinforce the Gongsun clan. ”

Sun Shangxiang hurriedly nodded and said: "I understand, Shang Xiang has also read a few volumes of the Art of War, and understands the intention of your arrangement, sir." ”

Lu Ren said: "For specific matters, after you return to Wadao in a few days, you will tell Bo Yan, and Bo Yan will arrange it, but in terms of troops, you can handle it yourself, and I am afraid that I will not be able to transfer any troops here to send you to increase them." Anyway, the purpose of your side is to use naval warfare to contain it, and I believe that with the troops and ships at hand, you can do it well. Of course, if there is any accident, I will send troops to support you, and if there is something to be done while you are fighting, then you might as well see if there is anything worth grabbing on the Goguryeo side. Anyway, as far as I know, the ginseng from the Goguryeo side is a good thing. ”

Each laughed. Not a good person anyway.

————————————————————

Approaching August, most of Lu Ren's arrangements here have been put in place, and Lu Ren is about to start attacking Liaodong.

The first thing to play was the diplomatic card, that is, Lu Ren said that his ship, goods, and people were lost, and there was definite news that the "lost" ship was sailed to Liaodong...... This is nonsense, the ship was originally thrown by Lu Ren to the boundary of Liaodong, and it is strange that Lu Ren will not know. The reason why it took a little time was just to make things reasonable, showing that Lu Ren was investigating, not blaming others indiscriminately.

Next, Lu Ren showed some evidence to prove that his ship was hacked by Liaodong, and at the same time explained that there was a large amount of silver, goods, and even envoys sent by Wadao on board to show that the value of this ship was very unusual, and then he demanded that the Gongsun clan of Liaodong return the ship, the goods and personnel on the ship.

Of course, Liaodong refused to admit it...... Well, Gongsun Gong really didn't know that there was such a thing, and Gongsun Yuan had a ghost in his heart. In addition to the five thousand catties of white flowers in his hand, which is a huge amount of money, those white thighs really make Gongsun Yuan want to stop. Let Gongsun Yuan hand over these white thighs? Gongsun Yuan was reluctant.

There is another one, Gongsun Yuan plans to use this matter to make trouble for Gongsun Gong, in order to kick Gongsun Gong off the throne at the right time, and then he can rightfully replace him. At that time, it is appropriate to return Lu Ren a little silver, and the white thighs will pick a few more that they don't like very much and return them to Lu Ren, then they can finally give Lu Ren an explanation, and then Liaodong will not belong to his Gongsun Yuan?

So the two sides began to engage in a diplomatic tussle. I have to say here that Gongsun Gong is a relatively weak guy, and he has a heart to calm things down when he asks Lu Ren, so he plans to scrape together some money to give Lu Ren just forget it, but the problem is that five thousand catties of silver was not a small amount at that time, even if it was put on Lao Cao's body, with Lao Cao's wealth, he would have a headache, not to mention that the economy at that time was also average in Liaodong? Of course, if you really want to make money, Gongsun Gong can still take it out with a gritted tooth, it's great to save a little here, and then use some Liaodong specialties to offset it to Lu Ren, but where can Gongsun Gong find those white thighs produced in Wadao?

There is no problem with simple beauties, Liaodong can still find them, but the identity of those white thighs is not easy to say. You must know that Lu Ren has gone through the needle and led the thread on this issue, so the Yamatai region belongs to the foreign vassal state of the Han Dynasty in terms of political identity, and it is under the control and management of Lu Ren, and it is also necessary to pay tribute to the Han court through Lu Ren every year, so the identity of these white thighs is not ordinary. And such a dozen white thighs, can ordinary beauties replace them? On the other hand, Lu Ren used this as an excuse to attack the Gongsun clan in Liaodong, and it was really difficult to explain to Liaodong.

On the other hand, these white thighs have been played with by Gongsun Yuan, how big a crime is this if it comes out? You say that Gongsun Yuan dares to carry this kind of charge? Therefore, Gongsun Yuan also refused to admit it.

Next, these verbal battles naturally went to Emperor Liu Xie in the form of expressions, that is, to Lao Cao. Lu Ren had been prepared for this for a long time, so the rhetoric on the table was particularly intense, and even shouted out that if Liaodong did not return the shippers, Liaodong would send troops to Liaodong to seek justice.

Lao Cao was also inexplicable at first, and said in his heart that with your Lu Ren's family background, would you care about the five thousand catties of silver? Before, the soldiers on Wadao came back for the New Year, and you even rewarded Sun Quan with dividends in silver calculated as 10,000 catties, okay? Lao Cao was blushing at this, and even wanted to discuss with Lu Ren, he Lao Cao also sent some people over to help with mining, and then came back with some silver, but how could this Lao Cao be embarrassed to open it to Lu Ren?

However, when he learned that in addition to the five thousand catties of silver on the ship this time, there were also fourteen envoys with white thighs sent to Lu Ren from Wajima, Lao Cao's face showed a meaningful and slightly obscene smile. Because of the white thighs produced on Wajima, Lu Ren picked a few and gave them to Lao Cao to enjoy, so Lao Cao knew the taste. Thinking of Lu Ren's lustful and lustful old days, Lao Cao Ke thought a little wrong...... (To be continued.) )
