"What can I do? If something like this happens, I have to take some risks......"

Indeed, when something happened suddenly, Lu Ren had no choice but to take a risk. In Lu Ren's opinion, his way of dealing with the two brothers Cao Zhang and Cao Chong can only be regarded as a small risk, if he doesn't care about these two brothers, then he is really taking a big risk.

In fact, since the moment Lu Ren called these two brothers on the landing craft, or should I say the moment he wrote a letter to ask them to come to Yangon, Lu Ren had already prepared for the worst in his heart. And when he was talking to these two brothers just now, Lu Ren's hand was almost always pressed on the pistol hidden in his sleeve.

Fortunately, these two brothers are very sensible people, so Lu Ren's affairs went relatively smoothly, which also made Lu Ren breathe a long sigh of relief, and said that he was right to bet on the character of these two brothers. Although it takes a small risk to solve it in this frank way, it is much better than fighting with these two brothers and the tens of thousands of northern personnel in the hands of these two brothers, right?

Seeing that the ship had already docked and the people were on the shore, Lu Ren, who was relieved, sat on the deck, but immediately frowned and thought about it again. Minchan looked puzzled and asked, "Yihao, what are you worried about?" ”

Lu Ren said: "Now I have a lot to worry about. Not to mention, although the matter of the Cao brothers is solved, they will have to deal with Zhou Yu and Sun Shangxiang immediately. ”

Mink Chanqi said: "They won't cause anything, right?" ”

Lu Ren said: "Of course Zhou Yu and Sun Shangxiang won't, so what I'm really worried about is Sun Quan." I have already sent a telegram to Zhou Yu and Sun Shangxiang to Yangon, and I want them to help me persuade Sun Quan so that Sun Quan will not make a mess at this time. ”

Minchan was a little puzzled: "Hasn't Sun Zhongmou always been good friends with us?" It shouldn't be ......"

Lu Ren waved his hand, and then lay directly on his back on the deck: "Don't think that Sun Quan is a good bird." In fact, if I turn my face against Cao Pi and start a war, the happiest person will definitely be Sun Quan. You must know that Sun Quan has always been good friends with me, and one of the most critical reasons is that they Jiangdong is sandwiched between me and Cao Pi...... No, to be precise, it was sandwiched between me and Lao Cao, so what he was most worried about was that I joined forces with Lao Cao and marched to Jiangdong from both north and south directions at the same time. And if that happens, they Jiangdong will definitely not be able to resist it. ”

After a pause, Lu Ren continued: "You shouldn't have forgotten that there was a battle between me and Sun Quan, right? At that time, I personally destroyed the old city of Quanzhou, and then defeated Sun Quan's forward fleet in the naval battle, Sun Quan immediately retreated, and then Sun Shangxiang officially came to Yizhou as a hostage...... Do you really think that Sun Quan at that time had no ability to continue to march into the army? For a war, he is just the vanguard corps lost, but his main force is still there, and he is definitely capable of continuing to fight if he really wants to fight. ”

Minchan said: "Then why did Sun Quan withdraw from the army at that time?" ”

Lu Rendao: "Later, I talked about this issue when I was chatting with Xun Gong, and Xun Gong's explanation was really to the point. At that time, Sun Quan was not incapable of fighting, but he didn't have the courage to fight further. Because he was a sneak attack on me, and after the sneak attack failed, it was equivalent to losing the opportunity, giving me relatively enough time to adjust.

"And then on this basis, because Sun Quan can't break through my defense line in a short time, then what he is most worried about is that I will join forces with Lao Cao in anger, then their Jiangdong problem will be big. At that time, Xun Gong was still helping Lao Cao, according to him, Lao Cao sighed after hearing the news, and the battle between me and Sun Quan was fought too fast, which made Lao Cao lose a good opportunity. In other words, if I asked Lao Cao for help at that time, Lao Cao would gather troops to attack Sun Quan without saying a word. ”

"Oh...... I see. Minchan nodded suddenly.

Lu Rendao: "Therefore, the friendship between Sun Quan and me has always been in the implementation of this idea that we must not start a war with the north and south at the same time, and I have always deliberately maintained a relatively good diplomatic relationship with the Cao family, and there are also factors that put pressure on Sun Quan in this regard." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Ren couldn't help but look at the sky and sighed: "Cao Pi is still not as good as Lao Cao in the end!" I want to believe that if Lao Cao is still here, he will never do such a stupid thing as Cao Pi. ”

Since following Lu Ren to Central Asia, Minchan has been staying by Lu Ren's side to take care of Lu Ren's diet and daily life, so she knows how much pressure Lu Ren has at this time. At this moment, seeing Lu Ren's sigh again, Minchan sat behind Lu Ren, gently lifted Lu Ren's head, made it resting on her lap, and at the same time stretched out the slender fingers of both hands to help Lu Ren gently press and rub his head, in this way to help Lu Ren relieve the pressure.

But on the lips, Diao Chan still asked curiously: "Recently, I have heard you say that the timing of Cao Pi's face this time is very good, but now why do you say that Cao Pi is doing something stupid?" ”

Lu Ren said: "Because Lao Cao is much more discerning than Xiao Cao." Do you think Lao Cao doesn't want to move Liaozhou? But Lao Cao knows one thing very well, that is, although I will add a lot of trouble to his great cause of dominating the world, I will never take the initiative to cause trouble, at least at the military level on the surface, I will not do anything to him, so if Liaozhou is in my hands, then Lao Cao's northern border will have half of the defense line worry-free. Although it is only half of the northern defense line, do you know how many troops you can save for Lao Cao and the money and food that these troops will cost?

"And not only is the defense line worry-free, if there is any war in the area of Juyong Pass, my Liaozhou department will also reinforce the area around Juyong Pass, like before this, didn't I send a few people to reinforce Juyong Pass? If Lao Cao didn't know about these things, how could he so easily let my Liaozhou soldiers and horses go to Juyong Pass through Shanhaiguan to help in the war?

"In addition, Liaozhou was originally a mixed residence of Han and Hu, and the old Karasuma, Xianbei and other tribes plundered Hebei, although the scale was not large, but it was as annoying as flies and mosquitoes. And since I entered Liaozhou, I have unified these nomadic tribes and successfully indoctrinated them, so have you heard of the raids of the nomadic tribes in Liaozhou over the years?

"Not only did there be no plundering, but under my education, many of these nomadic herds were converted into grazing, the output of cattle, sheep, horses and various local products increased a lot, and the trade with Hebei and other places became more and more frequent. For Lao Cao, while making money and making profits, he no longer has to worry about the trivial matter of swatting flies and mosquitoes...... So I dare to say this, that is, unless it is necessary to dominate the world, Lao Cao will not use troops against me rashly, because that will only bring endless trouble to Lao Cao, but hinder his long-cherished wish to dominate the world. ”

After saying this chase, Lu Ren was secretly thinking in his heart that this is also your old Cao doesn't know what Lu Ren thinks in his heart, otherwise I really don't know how your old Cao will choose. But no matter what, Lu Ren is still basically sure that Lao Cao will not make a move to himself easily.

Minchan's hand didn't stop, and she said: "In this way, Cao Pi is a little short-sighted." ”

Lu Ren said: "Maybe, at least that's what I think." But these are all words from my own point of view, whether that kid Cao Pi thinks like this, then God knows, maybe he does have any better strategic ideas? In short, I am here to prepare for war with him. ”

Minchan said: "What about Sun Quan?" You were mainly talking about Sun Quan before, right? ”

Lu Ren said: "Didn't I say it? Sun Quan's friendship with me is mainly because he is worried about my alliance with Lao Cao, but now that Cao Pi is going to fight with me, then the happiest person should be Sun Quan, because this means that he no longer has to worry about the simultaneous war between the north and the south. Without the worries from the north, even if Zhou Yu and Sun Shangxiang are still in my hands, who dares to guarantee that Sun Quan will not come up with some different ideas? And now that I'm on the expedition, the garrison in Yizhou and other places is a lot weaker, Cao Pi sees this opportunity to attack me, but why isn't it an opportunity for Sun Quan? ”

Maybe it was because Minchan pressed it too comfortably, Lu Ren slowly closed his eyes at this time: "So I need to persuade Zhou Yu and Sun Shangxiang now, and try to let them use the perspective of Jiangdong's children to persuade Sun Quan not to do anything inappropriate at this time." It's just that their situation is too different from the situation of the Cao brothers, and I haven't figured out how to talk to them until now. Perhaps, I can only count on Zhou Yu's ingenuity to think of something that I haven't thought about now...... Xiu, I suddenly feel so tired, you let me sleep like this for a while......"

Minchan didn't speak, just stretched out her finger and stroked Lu Ren's cheek, so that Lu Ren could sleep quietly on this deck for a while......

————————————————————

At the same time in Ceylon, Zhou Yu was sitting in a daze at the telegram taken by Lu Ren.

Unlike Cao Zhang and Cao Chong, the two brothers, Zhou Yu was originally above these two in terms of intelligence and talent, and he was quite experienced in all aspects, so although Zhou Yu was in Ceylon, he still managed to ensure that his intelligence here was smooth. In other words, when Cao Zhang and Cao Chong didn't know what was happening in the Central Plains, Zhou Yu at this time already knew what Cao Pi had done. And when he received the telegram from Lu Ren asking him and Sun Shangxiang to go back to Yangon, Zhou Yu had already roughly guessed what Lu Ren wanted to do with them.

He sat here and was distracted, Sun Shangxiang, who had just come back from playing outside, threw away his outfit and drank again, seeing that Zhou Yu was so distracted and didn't know what he was thinking, he snatched the telegram and checked it. After reading it, Sun Shangxiang shrugged and said, "Is something wrong?" What is Mr. Lu doing in such a hurry for us to go back to Yangon? ”

Zhou Yu was also a little speechless about Sun Shangxiang's behavior. In fact, although the five thousand Jiangdong disciples were led by Zhou Yu and Sun Shangxiang together, Sun Shangxiang was out of respect for Zhou Yu, the middle brother, and second, he also knew that he was not as good as Zhou Yu in terms of talent, so the more brain-consuming things were thrown to Zhou Yu to do. But because of this, Sun Shangxiang still doesn't know a lot of things.

Sighing, Zhou Yu knew that he couldn't hide it from Sun Shangxiang at this time, so he told Sun Shangxiang about what Lu Ren was currently encountering, and Sun Shangxiang said angrily after listening to it: "This Cao Pi is simply deliberately making excuses to come out and make things again, okay?" ”

Zhou Yu snatched the telegram back with his hand, put it in front of him, and continued to look at the content of the telegram in a daze, and said to Sun Shangxiang: "Who said it wasn't?" In the midst of war, who can take care of a mere favorite concubine? It is normal for this kind of jade to be inseparable, Lu Nanhai has publicly apologized, and also expressed his willingness to take out a large amount of property as compensation, which is enough. And Cao Pi grasped this matter, I believe that anyone with a discerning eye can see that Cao Pi is going to turn his face and start a war with Lu Nanhai. ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "Mr. Lu is now leading an expedition to Central Asia, but Cao Pi is coming here at this time, isn't it a big trouble for Mr. Lu?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "It's certain that Lu Nanhai is in big trouble now, but I'm afraid that our Jiangdong will also run into trouble." ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "How do you say this? ”

Zhou Yu pointed to the telegram in front of him: "Do you think Lu Nanhai will send us such a telegram for no reason?" I said Shang Xiang, because I'm with you now, so you don't bother to think about it, you usually just care about the foolishness of your temperament, I'm too lazy to say anything about you. But now that things are in front of you, why don't you use more snacks? ”

To say that Sun Shangxiang is not young now, but because he was "poisoned" by Lu Ren a lot, and he maintained the appearance of a young girl, he may not have learned much else, and he learned the trick of coquettishness very well, so at this time, Sun Shangxiang climbed Zhou Yu's arm and said angrily: "Brother Zhong!" I'm not as smart as you! Just tell me why the current matter has something to do with our Jiangdong again, okay? ”

Zhou Yu was helpless, let's talk about the current Zhou Yu, who not only regarded Sun Shangxiang as his sister, but also had a subconscious of treating Sun Shangxiang as a daughter because of Sun Shangxiang's young appearance, so he really couldn't stand Sun Shangxiang's sudden snort, so he had to sigh and tell Sun Shangxiang some factors, and the content was roughly similar to the analysis made by Lu Ren.

In the end, Zhou Yu said worriedly: "Shang Xiang, from a long-term perspective, we must persuade Zhong Mou to stop those thoughts that may arise, because it is too unwise...... 2510
