After the shocking changes in the Western Regions, what was Lu Ren most worried about?

More than 100,000 troops of the Thirty-Six Nations Alliance in the Western Regions? If it was just these hundreds of thousands of Western Regions alliance troops, Lu Ren wouldn't worry about anything. www.biquge.info Because Lu Ren believed that with Lao Cao's military ability, if he only dealt with the hundreds of thousands of Western Regions coalition troops, he would basically be able to settle it if he gave Lao Cao a little time.

So now Lu Ren is worried about two problems, one is that Liu Bei will not be able to withstand the temptation of taking Chang'an's interests and join forces with the Western Regions Alliance, but for Liu Bei's problems, Lu Ren still has a way to suppress Liu Bei, so this is okay to say.

Another problem is that Lu Ren is worried that when Lao Cao is newly defeated and the Western Regions Coalition Army is currently strong, the Qiang Department in the west of Chang'an and the Xiongnu in the north of Chang'an will follow and make trouble. The most important thing is that Lu Ren is a little out of reach for this problem.

But unfortunately, or because he was afraid of something, the situation that Lu Ren was worried about finally happened.

Before, Lu Ren sent a telegram back to the intelligence station in Xuchang, and after a little handling by the intelligence station, he handed over Lu Ren's letter to Lao Cao's fast horse messenger, and Lao Cao's fast horse messenger naturally wanted to rush to Chang'an day and night. But just when the messenger arrived in Chang'an and handed over Lu Ren's letter to Lao Cao, Lao Cao also received news that the Qiang and Xiongnu tribes were moving at the same time. And such news will naturally reach Lu Ren's ears again at the fastest speed.

It's just that with the traffic conditions at that time, it still takes some time from Chang'an to Xuchang, so when Lu Ren learned the news, Chang'an had actually started fighting, but the scale was not large for the time being. To be precise, the Qiang and Xiongnu were still only some brave tribes who began to follow the Western Regions coalition army to burn and loot in the Chang'an area, and had some skirmishes with some rangers sent by Lao Cao. As for the main tribes of the Qiang and Xiongnu, one is that they still want to wait and see how things develop, and the other is that it will take a little time for them to gather forces.

Although the number of participants in the battle is not large, although the scale of the battle is not large, but the discerning people know that this is a very dangerous signal, if Lao Cao can't beat the Qiang and the Xiongnu back as soon as possible, then the next is the large-scale action of the Qiang and the Xiongnu. In contrast, the Qiang Department may be able to say that the Xiongnu, who have always been a strong enemy of the Han Dynasty, are not a joke.

Faced with such a situation, Lao Cao naturally stepped up the armaments of Chang'an, and at the same time strictly ordered all parts of the north of the border to strengthen the garrison. In addition, in the reply letter to Lu Ren, Lao Cao also expressed two meanings, one is to express his gratitude and acceptance to the artillery and related tactical personnel that Lu Ren will send, and the other is that Lao Cao expressed his concern about the north of Hebei, that is, the front line of Jinyang and Jixian, and asked Lu Ren if there was any problem on this front, whether Lu Ren would send reinforcements from the area of western Liaoning.

It is not unreasonable for Lao Cao to have such worries. Once the Xiongnu follow and do something, most of the nomadic tribes such as Karasuma and Xianbei in northern Hebei will also emerge together. By the way, it should be made clear here that Lu Ren has taken over Liaoxi and adopted the method of supporting Tuoba Yu and Murong Ziying, and he has indeed attracted quite a lot of Xianbei tribes and a certain number of Karasuma tribes, but he has not yet the ability, and it is unlikely that he will subdue the entire Xianbei and Karasuma in just a few years...... Lu Ren is not Genghis Khan. Even if it's Genghis Khan, it's okay to work the steppe for many years?

In short, the Xianbei tribe that Lu Ren recruited was about one-third of the total number of Xianbei tribes at that time, and the Karasuma tribe was only one-fifth or one-sixth. The others, on the other hand, basically ran north in fear of Lao Cao and Lu Ren, and their main area of activity was probably in the later Mongolian steppe region.

If there is no chaos, these nomadic tribes will maintain a relatively peaceful attitude with Lao Cao and Lu Ren, and from time to time they will drive some cattle, sheep and horses to trade with Lao Cao and Lu Ren. But if something goes wrong...... Again, these guys aren't good birds either!

Lu Ren is worried about anything, but because he is worried about this, Lu Ren has also begun to make corresponding preparations in order to be prepared. Considering the seriousness that the development of the situation may bring, Lu Ren really let it go this time, and made a decision that surprised Xun Yu and others:

"Let the intelligence station in Xuchang send me the spare telegraph machine to Luoyang and Chang'an! It's always been like waiting for days to get a reply, and people are dying. Lao Cao knows it, he is not the kind of person who can't distinguish priorities, he should understand the importance of intelligence on the battlefield. It's a big deal, Lao Tzu's people smashed the telegraph when they left! ”

As for other trivial matters, such as the fact that Lu Ren's intelligence station will be made public to the world because of this, Lu Ren really can't care about it, and all of them have turned into a state of complete "underground work". But to be honest, Lu Ren had already considered this aspect of the problem, just like muskets and artillery would spread sooner or later, and now it was just a matter of doing some things three or five or seven years in advance.

After receiving Lu Ren's order, coupled with the permission of Lao Cao's previous person to allow Lu Ren to go to Chang'an, Xuchang's intelligence station began to act overnight, and set up the spare telegraph machine to Luoyang and Chang'an as quickly as possible, and it was also set up in Lao Cao's military station. In Lu Ren's words, since he has decided to make it public, he might as well be more generous, and don't be so sneaky and like a thief. If it is really so mysterious, and then encounters Lao Cao's suspicious character, maybe there will be some unnecessary trouble.

I don't know what the situation is in Luoyang, but I know that Lao Cao was also a little inexplicable when he heard that Lu Ren's first batch of personnel rushed to Chang'an with some things, because in terms of distance and time, Lu Ren sent people out of Yizhou, and he didn't rush to Chang'an so quickly. By the time the intelligence officer set up the telegraph machine and made a series of "tick-tick" sounds, Lao Cao was even more confused.

Next, when the intelligence officer referred to the codebook and handed a translated letter to Lao Cao's hand, Lao Cao understood what this thing was for, and the shock in his heart was not much to express. It was only at this time that Lao Cao finally understood why sometimes the news from Lu Ren was so fast. And then just like that, Lu Ren and Lao Cao, two people who hadn't seen each other for more than ten or twenty years, talked with the telegraph code at this time.

Lu Ren: "Lao Cao, don't gossip, don't let go of stinky farts!" I will keep an eye on the front line of Jinyang and Jixian County, and if there is any problem, I will send reinforcements to help, but the premise is that you old guy don't be suspicious. No matter what you think, I just want to tell you, I, Lu Ren, don't want to be a sinner of the Han. ”

The telegram is compiled on the fly, that is, the intelligence officer listens to the "tick tick" here, and has to write it down with a pen and paper immediately. It may not matter if you want to change it in normal times, if Lu Ren is not polite to Lao Cao, the intelligence officer can modify it a little and then give it to Lao Cao for a look. But at this time, Lao Cao was standing on the side, and the intelligence officer who compiled it in real time wrote it down word by word, and he didn't have the opportunity to modify it at all, so when facing words such as "Lao Cao" and "stinky fart", the intelligence officer also secretly pinched a cold sweat in his hand, and said in his heart, Lord, aren't you cheating me? How can Lao Cao say that Wei Gong is good? Such an unkind word, Lao Cao is not happy here, and he must cut me?

But the intelligence officer was obviously overwhelmed, at least Lao Cao was happy when he saw this passage, and sighed with a smile: "Sure enough, it's Lu Yihao's handiwork!" In this world, the old man will be so disrespectful, but it sounds like a somewhat affectionate title, and only he Lu Yihao can do this. ”

The intelligence officer secretly wiped his sweat when he heard this, and Lao Cao reached out and patted the intelligence officer's shoulder a few times to appease, and then said loudly: "Call back to Lu Yihao, just say that you stinky boy help the old man keep an eye on that side, if there is really anything, your kid's reinforcements just go over to help...... Well, just like before. ”

The intelligence officer was stunned and asked, "Just follow Wei Gong's original words?" ”

Lao Cao smiled and nodded: "The original words are still transferred, especially the three words 'stinky boy', and they are not allowed to be omitted!" He calls the old man an old guy, can't the old man call him a 'stinky boy'? ”

The intelligence officer didn't dare to slack off, so he naturally took the same words. Then it didn't take long for Lu Ren's call back to shoot back: "The gunboat I sent has arrived in Xuzhou, and you arrange for the artillery and related ammunition to be escorted to the front line, and the people I sent will tell you how to use it." Fight your own battle well, Liu Bei and Sun Quan, I will help you drag them down, and don't let them drag you back at this time. At other times, I was too lazy to care, but now that Hu Kou is about to mess with my Huaxia, I will not sit idly by. ”

After reading this paragraph, Lao Cao was silent. And at this moment, Lao Cao's thoughts returned to the time of ten or twenty years ago. I still remember that at that time, Lao Cao would occasionally call Shangluren and Guo Jia to drink and chat together when he was free, and that situation was very similar to a few cheap boys and friends sitting in a bar together in modern society to brag and fart.

It was at that time that they talked about a lot of things, and the topics were serious and improper, for example, when they were not serious, Lu Ren would even tell Lao Cao and Guo Jia from the point of view of a modern person that how women should dress appropriately and show their flesh to be both sexy and seductive but not out of bounds; Seriously, they have talked many times about the nomadic tribes of the north.

At that time, Lu Ren was still young, not to mention that his mind was not so old and mature, and he still had a lot of resentment, and he always thought that he could go back after a few years, so he would not be too deliberate to have reservations on some issues. Therefore, on the issue of dealing with the nomadic tribes at that time, Lu Ren's rhetoric was very fierce...... It should be said that the angry youth are like that, right?

And Lu Ren's fierce words at that time were very profound to Lao Cao, which is also the reason why Lao Cao thought that this matter was unlikely to have anything to do with Lu Ren when he was shocked to hear that the Western Regions Coalition Army had broken through Liangzhou and used artillery. Now seeing these words, Lao Cao couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Lu Yihao is really still Lu Yihao." Although the years have passed, things are wrong, but you still haven't changed your original intention? ”

In fact, there is another thing that Lao Cao didn't think about, but pressed it into the subconscious, and crossed Lao Cao's mind in an unconscious state. If Lao Cao is forced to say it, Lao Cao may say this:

"Lu Ren's current move is not to help me, but to keep the territory of the Han Dynasty from being messed up by foreign races. Liu Bei and Sun Quan are heroes in the world, and they both covet the world, but Lu Ren doesn't...... Now in the Hu Kou Rebellion, he can completely stay out of the matter, but he is still so concerned. Not to mention that he sent all the artillery, but only to mention the telegraph, such a confidential thing, he did not hesitate to let me know, what does this mean? And in this world, there are thousands of people like Lu Ren who sincerely defend the Han Dynasty? For example, Wen Ruo...... Alas! There are some things that I might as well stop thinking about it. ”

If Lu Ren knew that what he had done at this moment had triggered these thoughts in Lao Cao's subconscious, he really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

But the current Lu Ren can't take care of these. To the north, Lu Ren wanted to order Lu Lingqi and Chen Gong to prepare for war, and they might rush to the aid of Lao Cao anytime and anywhere; In Nanzhong, Lu Ren asked Xun You to put on a posture in the south of Shuzhong, so as to force Liu Bei not to act rashly; In Jingzhou, Lu Ren can be regarded as coercing and enticing Zhuge Liang, but at the same time, he must grasp the degree between Lu, Liu and Sun, otherwise, if Sun Quan makes any changes to Jingzhou, the consequences will be terrible.

On the issue of Jingzhou, the only thing that Lu Ren is at ease is that Zhuge Liang stayed in Jingzhou, not just a second brother Guan as in the original history, and there should be no more incidents of "careless loss of Jingzhou". Besides, Lu Meng's guy was hung on Lu Ren's hand a few years ago, and the "crossing the river in white" should be gone. It's just that the one who stayed with Chaisang was Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, who didn't die of illness, this is a much more powerful character than Lu Meng, which makes Lu Ren feel a headache when he thinks about it.

said that to Liu Bei, Lu Ren had already made a move, but looking back and thinking about Sun Quan's side, Lu Ren immediately understood that he had to make a move. In fact, before the Sun-Liu alliance had no problems, Sun Quan's main target had always been on Hefei and Xuzhou in Jiangbei when he could not attack Jingzhou. Sun Quan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, what happened to Lao Cao's territory, who dares to guarantee that Sun Quan will also think of taking the opportunity to make a profit?

"I'm X! What the hell is that it moves the whole body! Is this Nima a domino? If there is a problem in one place, so many places have to follow suit, it is easy for me!? ”

After secretly shouting this big complaint in his heart, Lu Ren still reluctantly ordered:

"Go! Immediately take a telegram to Yamatai and call Lord Sun back to Yizhou, saying that I have a very urgent matter to find her!! ”
