Chapter 377: An Unexpected Encounter (4)
"Brother Lu, what do you mean by that?"
Lu Ren looked at Sun Quan, shook his head and smiled, "Didn't I say it just now?" Although my little Yizhou makes you feel uneasy, it is not me who really makes you feel uneasy, but Lao Cao in the north. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info If it weren't for the sense of crisis brought to you by Lao Cao in the north who was about to go south, how would you Sun Zhongmou put it in my little Yizhou? ”
Sun Quan was silent when he heard this, because Sun Quan didn't expect Lu Renzhen to say it so directly.
Lu Ren continued: "I have a lot of trade with Lao Cao, so I can receive a lot of news. As far as I know, Lao Cao has already begun to recruit troops from various counties after the completion of this year's spring ploughing work, and if nothing else, he may lead his army south in May or June. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Ren's words changed: "Actually, no matter how the battle between you is fought, what does it have to do with me?" But in order to make your brother Sun suspicious, Lao Cao found an opportunity to catch an excuse and sealed a Yizhou pastor to me, dragged me into the water, and dragged me into this battle between you. Originally, if there was no such thing, I could still go to Jingzhou and Yangzhou to play around when I had nothing to do, but because of the so-called Yizhou Mu on my body, I couldn't go back to play everywhere in the Central Plains when I was free like before. ”
Sun Quan was stunned, but immediately sneered: "Brother Lu, can you really pretend, or do you think I am such an ignorant child who is so easy to deceive?" If you have no intention of being a pastor, why should you give more gifts to Cao Gong before this, showing your courtesy? ”
Lu Ren waved his hand and said: "You are wrong, I gave gifts and courtesies to Lao Cao because I want to do business with Lao Cao's territory to make money, so naturally I can't make the relationship with Lao Cao too stiff...... Don't look at me like that! Okay, that's all it takes, then I'm also very unkind to ask you, do you think that the little trading volume that you can give me in Jiangdong can be compared to the trading volume that the land of Qing, Xu, Hebei, and Henan can give me? Do the people on your Jiangdong territory have more people than Lao Cao's states, or do they have more money than Lao Cao's states? ”
Sun Quan was overwhelmed by Lu Ren's words, and he lost his temper at that time. At that time, the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River had always been much more developed than the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and this situation did not begin to change until the Song and Song dynasties. So at this point, even if Sun Quan is unwilling, he has to admit that if he wants to run a business to make money, the money he can make in the Central Plains region is much more than that in his Jiangdong region.
But Sun Quan didn't want to lose to Lu Ren like this, so he still snorted coldly: "Brother Lu, you just want to make money? Not necessarily, I'm afraid? If you just want to make money, why do you make so many things? It's building a city and recruiting displaced people, you dare to say that you don't have any other thoughts? ”
Lu Ren smiled: "Of course there are some thoughts. But Brother Sun, money is originally earned and spent, if I earn it back but don't spend it, just throw it into the warehouse, then what's the point of me guarding a few mountains of gold and silver? Is there anything wrong with me making money and coming back to do what I like? To put it mildly, I spend my money on what I like to do, what the hell is getting in your way? If you like it, do it yourself! If you can't see the good things I have here, what do you mean by the? ”
"You!!"
The foul words that popped out of Lu Ren's mouth made Sun Quan's forehead burst out. You said that whether it was Lu Ren or Sun Quan, they were also upper-class people at that time, but Lu Ren was talking with dirty words, isn't this too ...... To paraphrase a crepe sentence, this is simply insulting. Anyway, Sun Quan can't do it like Lu Ren.
Looking at Lu Ren again, he didn't wait for Sun Quan's reaction before continuing: "What am I? I think you might say that since I just want to make money, what are I doing by recruiting soldiers and building weapons? And these things were obviously done before I became this Yizhou pastor. ”
Sun Quan nodded with a dark face, but he didn't notice that he was brought into the pit by Lu Ren.
Lu Ren also sneered back at Sun Quan at this time: "Sun Zhongmou, how can you say that you are already twenty-six years old this year, and you have already been a county magistrate when you were sixteen years old, you can't even understand these things, right?" You go and see for yourself those big families and wealthy families in your territory, but whoever has a little money and a little land in his hands, who is not allowed to keep some people to take care of the family and the home? And my business is so big, I don't know how many times more money and industry I have than those big and wealthy families, how can I not save some armor and protect everything? Oh, others can raise people if they have money, land and property, but I can't raise them? What the hell does this make sense!? ”
In fact, halfway through Lu Ren's words, Sun Quan already understood that he had fallen into Lu Ren's language trap. And Lu Ren said that these are not nonsense, but to use a reasonable way to suppress Sun Quan's momentum. But what is very nonsense is that Lu Ren suddenly felt that there seemed to be two more blood grooves on the top of his and Sun Quan's heads, and then they were each standing on a stone platform...... Well, it's the scene of a "tongue war" in a game, and the current situation should be that Sun Quan's stone platform has collapsed.
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Ren smiled secretly in his heart: "Sun Quan's intelligence value is more than eighty, and his personality is bold; What's my intelligence...... Uh, there should be a seventy-something, right? The character is timid. It is said that Sun Quan has an advantage, but he can't stand up to our good hand, and he is in a state of anger, so my hand of cards can smash all your Sun Quan's brain! Ha ha!! ”
(A little ps, when the bottle played "Three Kingdoms 11", what I was most afraid of when I was a "commentator" was to meet Zhang Zhao's cowardly anger under the five consecutive shots, and the power of broken thoughts was really terrifying...... )
Sun Quan here didn't know if he was told by Lu Ren that he was in a hurry, so he argued forcibly: "Since you are so afraid, so afraid, why can't you find a hero and trust him!?" ”
Lu Ren was happy, and regardless of the crayfish soup on his hands, he raised the middle fingers of both hands to Sun Quan, but Sun Quan was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”
Lu Ren smiled evilly: "Don't understand? I mean to scold you and despise you! Why don't I seek out a hero and trust him? You mean why I don't join you, do you? If you really mean this, then don't blame me for speaking badly, I will say that you Sun Zhongmou really take yourself seriously, thinking that as soon as your tiger body is lifted and Wang Ba's anger explodes, all the heroes in the world should bow down to you Sun Zhongmou! I don't mean to look down on you, but I have to tell you, there are many people in the world who look down on you Sun Zhongmou! ”
Sun Quan almost became angry when he heard this, but after all, Sun Quan is a person who can achieve great things in the future, and there is naturally something rare in his heart, and he was provoked by Lu Ren to react a little before, which is just the reason for his youth and vigor. But once he comes to his senses, Sun Quan's anger will dissipate immediately, you must know that Sun Quan's ability to forbear was first-class in the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty.
At this moment, Sun Quan took a few deep breaths to adjust his mentality, and instead smiled at Lu Ren and said, "Brother Lu is reasonable. Quan is still young, and he has not done anything after inheriting his father's and brother's inheritance, so it is inevitable that the world will be lighter about Quan Hui. But Quan also believes that one day power will be able to make those who look down on power look sideways. ”
Lu Ren secretly gave a thumbs up to Sun Quan's reaction at this moment? At the same time, Lu Ren also felt that he had almost flirted with Sun Quan, and if he teased again, it might have the opposite effect, so he picked up the wine glass again, smiled back at Sun Quan and said, "This is natural." In fact, others may look down on you, but I have never despised you. Okay, I'll tell you the truth, why did I start recruiting armor so early? In fact, to put it bluntly, it's nothing more than me guarding against you. ”
Tilting his neck and pouring the wine, Lu Ren picked up a crayfish again and began to peel the shell: "You are a superior person, and it is understandable to think that heroes from all walks of life will serve you in your command, but you also have to admit that there are always people who are unwilling to serve you for various reasons, this is a typical 'people have their own ambitions, you can't force them', I belong to this kind." ”
As he spoke, the shrimp meat had already been peeled out, and Lu Ren stretched out his hand and handed it to Sun Quan, who hesitated a little when he saw this, and then took it and put it in his mouth. And this seemingly small action actually has a different meaning, at least Minchan and Lu Su and others in the other two bonfires saw such a small action, and their hearts were secretly relieved.
Looking at Lu Renzhong again to pick up a peel, Sun Quan hesitated for a moment and also picked up a peel, Lu Ren sighed lightly at this time: "Brother Sun, this official, I haven't been a before, and I have experienced a lot of things when I was a official, and those old things are not mentioned now." I just want to tell you that after being an official and an official, I feel that a carefree and free life is more suitable for me, just like now, I can make a lot of money, and after making money, I can do what I like according to my own wishes, and from time to time I can also flirt with beautiful women, show off my skills, how chic and free? ”
Saying Lu Ren's words, Feng turned again: "But because I have been an official and an official, and I have experienced a lot of things, I understand that many things cannot go completely according to my wishes." If I want to be able to continue to live the life I want to live, there are so many aspects that I have to be prepared for. Yes, I have raised soldiers and recruited generals, and I am very strict with you, but I can tell you clearly now that what I have done is only to protect myself, and I have no interest in your Jiangdong territory. Having said that, I am still the same as we said at the beginning, I was just a bystander watching you play chess, and it was Lao Cao's ulterior motives that dragged me into the water......"
