After another few days of boring sailing, Lu Xun and Sun Sang-hyang's fleet still had about half a day's journey from Jeju Island. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info According to Lu Xun's calculations, he probably arrived in the afternoon today.

Some people may say that Lu Xun and Sun Shangxiang are not going to Yamatai? Why did you go to Jeju Island again? In fact, it is very simple, although Lu Ren promised to provide assistance to Cibei, but the civil strife of the Yamatai Beimihu clan is still only in a stage of palace political struggle, and has not risen to the level of armed struggle, in other words, it is still just playing with cultural fighting, and there is no sword and gun between each other, so Lu Ren thinks that at this stage, there is no need to directly use knives and guns to fight. Although they have sent troops over, at least at this stage, they are just helping the inferior to deter by force. Of course, combat readiness still has to be made.

It is precisely because of the need to prepare for battle that these soldiers, who have been on the ship for several days, need to rest and recuperate. Especially the 2,000 Wu troops that Sun Shangxiang asked for from Sun Quan, although it was common for them to take a boat on the inland rivers or something, the sea voyage was basically the first time for them, and they had to be given a time to rest and adjust their state.

In addition, after all, Lu Ren was ready to use force against Wajima, and since he was preparing to use force, all relevant aspects needed to be adjusted accordingly. Now, in addition to the fleet and troops of Lu Xun and Sun Shangxiang, there are also Ling Yuan's fleet and Zhang Xiu's father and son stationed on Jeju Island, and these three forces have to hold a meeting before officially arriving at Yamadae to discuss related matters.

Speaking of which, Jeju Island is a good place to visit, and it will be a well-known tourist destination in the future. At present, although the development of Jeju Island is backward to almost primitive, it is precisely because of its primitiveness that the environment has not been damaged or polluted, and the scenery is naturally much better than that of later generations. Lu Ren once visited Jeju Island once when he led several gunboats in the early days to support Zhao Yu in the twelfth year of Jian'an, and it took several days to go back.

In the fifteenth year of Jian'an, the entire Jeju Island has already been taken into Lu Ren's pocket, and has become Lu Ren's outpost on Samhan and Wado, and he also specially dispatched Zhang Xiu's father and son to Jeju Island to take charge.

When Lu Xun and Sun Shangxiang arrived on Jeju Island, Zhang Xiu and Ling Yuan were already waiting there, so there was no need to be wordy about those polite banquets and the like. Then the three parties counted that there were more than 6,000 troops in the army, including 2,000 Yizhou soldiers under Lu Xun, 2,000 Wu soldiers under Sun Shangxiang, and the other 2,000 were Jeju defenders under Zhang Xiu; On the navy side, each of the three parties has personnel and ships, but the main one is the 3,000 navy under Ling Yuan, and the navy under Zhang Xiu's command has only more than 1,000 people, and is generally only responsible for guarding the sea area around Jeju Island. As for the navy brought by Lu Xun and Sun Shangxiang...... It was all a convoy, and the naval fleet was only enough for police and escort.

But even so, the total strength of the three parties combined is actually more than 10,000. However, Zhang Xiu's Jeju defenders can't move, which means that this time the work can only be done by Lu Xun, Sun Shangxiang, and Ling Yuan, and Zhang Xiu will only go out to help if necessary.

Ling Yuan had been active in the area of Yamatai for several years, and he had already figured out a series of situations such as the land type and tribe there according to Lu Ren's requirements, and naturally handed over the details to Lu Xun at this time. After a very detailed analysis, Lu Xun came to the conclusion that "although we have an advantage in military strength, we must not rush things." What we need is to get the maximum benefit from the Wajima area as much as possible, instead of just fighting a few battles in Wajima and then going back, which will only be contrary to my brother's original intention. ”

Therefore, Lu Xun made a series of arrangements, which were basically based on military deterrence, and then occupied the main areas that Lu Ren wanted. After initially stabilizing his footing, Lu Xun will make the next move. And when Lu Xun reported Lu Ren by telegram, Lu Ren's response was:

"Take your time, we're not in a hurry."

————————————————————

No hurry, really no hurry. Lu Ren has been mixed up for so many years, where is it not clear that it is not so easy to gain a foothold somewhere? And Lu Ren sent troops to Evil Horse Terrace, is it really just to help Cibei take the lead and seize power? To put it mildly, this time she is quite seductive, but she is not so attractive. In Lu Ren's words, you think you are Cleopatra, the Cleopatra who can charm Caesar and Antony? Even if you are Cleopatra, Lao Tzu is not Caesar or Antony.

Therefore, at that time, Lu Ren repeatedly explained to Lu Xun that his strategy for Yamatai was to stabilize his foothold, and after stabilizing his foothold, he would build a piece of our territory, and then use the local labor of Wajima to develop the silver mines in Satomiyama in the form of money, grain, and wages. And this kind of thing is by no means something that can be done in three or two months, and Lu Ren's troops on hand are relatively limited, so it is impossible to fight endlessly in this kind of place far from the base camp, so it is better to adopt a method that seems to be more peaceful and gentle, and it is better to drain the resources at that end, at least Lu Ren thinks that this is the way that suits him.

Of course, it would not be impossible to do it like the Spanish marauders, but after all, there are huge cultural differences between the East and the West, and Lu Ren will not be able to do it like the Spanish marauders. Well, taking a step back, the Spanish marauders were robbing what had already been developed by the Inca civilization, which was a ready-made product; But now Wajima...... The white lead has not been dug up, and the silver has not been refined, so you can't grab it if you want to! I had to use local labor to dig up.

These will not be said, anyway, in the next time, Yizhou is in a period of steady development, and all aspects are developing steadily. The problem of the evil horse, anyway, you are fighting in the palace, and the clan has not yet fought after all, so it is almost the same as Lu Ren planning to send troops over to help Cibei scare him.

And then Lu Xun and Sun Shangxiang will settle several tribes in the name of helping the Himiko clan, so that they can help Cibei obtain the corresponding political bargaining chips and let Cibei gain the upper hand in the palace fight, and second, the people captured from those tribes are the labor force that excavates the pit, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

Peaceful time always passes quickly, at least for Yizhou, there is a tranquility in the troubled times, so the time is in the sixteenth year of Jian'an in a blink of an eye......

————————————————————

In the winter of the sixteenth year of Jian'an, Xuchang was very cold.

The sky was overcast, apparently a precursor to a cold winter rain. However, after a whole day, there was no rain falling in the sky, which not only blocked the sunshine that could have brought some warmth in this cold winter, but also added a bit of coldness to the winter in Xuchang.

In the study of Shang Shuling's Mansion, Xun Yu rubbed his dry eyes, looked at the gloomy sky with almost no sunlight, frowned and shook his head slightly, took the fire and lit the prism oil lamp on the table. When the three-edged glass cover was slowly lowered, Xun Yu remembered that this oil lamp was one of the gifts that Lu Ren had specially given him when he sent envoys to the court to pay tribute a few years ago, shook his head and chuckled: "This stinky boy...... First of all, he was in Jingzhou for a few years, and as soon as he spread his wings, he also mixed up with the wind and water.

"The current kid is said to be thousands of miles away, and even Jiaozhou, although the nominal state pastor is Shixie, is actually under his control. It's really unthinkable, Lu Yihao, who leaned on the side of the road to survive and endured the cold eyes of others, can become a candidate for the male side today, which is not to be despised. Now that I think about it, I really didn't look away back then. Well, look away......"

Thinking of this, Xun Yu's gaze returned to the letter he was writing to Cao Cao on the table. In desperation, he shook his head again, put the cotton clothes on his body a little tighter, and then saw that the ink on the tip of the pen had been frozen, and the charcoal basin placed in the room for heating was almost gone, so he called out to the room: "Come on, add some charcoal to the charcoal basin, and then go and make a pot of hot tea." ”

The attendant came in response, and after adding charcoal, he rushed over to help Xun Yu Yanmo, but was waved back by Xun Yu. The letter on the table was written by Xun Yu to Cao Cao alone as an admonition, and it should not be seen by others.

After adding some charcoal to the charcoal basin, the fire restarted, and the study gradually returned to some warmth. Xun Yu put the pen aside and inked it with his own hands. While straining his ink, he looked at the letter on the table and pondered how to write it.

While thinking hard, the attendant outside the door came to report: "Qi Lingjun, the young son Cang has returned from Yizhou, please see you outside the door now." ”

"Go and reply to the guest, I'm on an important business, and I won't see the guest yet...... Well!? ”

Xun Yu, who was thinking hard, didn't pay attention, but suddenly reacted, and said: "Again, it's Cang'er who came back from Jiaozhou!?" ”

"It's the Rice Boy."

Xun Cang, Xun Yu's youngest son. As for why Xun Cang went to Yizhou...... This can only be said to be a result of Yizhou's cultural influence at this time. To put it simply, Xun Cang went to Yizhou to study, because the college in Yizhou was already a well-known school in the world at that time for various reasons. Not to mention anything else, you have to think about who the honorary principal of Yizhou Academy is, is it Zheng Xuan, the master of scripture who is his meow? This Nima is a big signboard.

On the other hand, Xun Yu was also influenced by Guo Jia's father and son. Guo Yi returned to Xuchang after studying with Lu Ren, and it was indispensable to meet Xun Yu and talk about things. Xun Yu's acquaintance is famous, where can you not notice Guo Yi's growth? Seeing that Guo Jia's son learned so many skills after following Lu Ren, Xun Yu naturally moved a little bit of thought, not to mention that Xun Yu himself knew Lu Ren's "talent" better, and had such a good relationship with Lu Ren, so it was reasonable to let Xun Yu go to Lu Ren to study for a few years.

Taking a step back, with Xun Yu's sensitivity, it is impossible not to notice some things around the fifteenth year of Jian'an, so putting his youngest son to Lu Ren is also a way of self-protection to protect his own bloodline from being completely cut off...... (To be continued.) )
