Lu Ren and Chen Gong discussed what they would do after the end of the Liaoxi War, and they both felt that they were about the same, so Lu Ren stopped talking and continued to look at the firelight. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info There was no reason, Lu Ren suddenly sighed softly. It's nothing else, the main thing is that the battlefield after the war, as well as the fire that is cremating the corpse over there, all reveal a breath of gloom, which makes Lu Ren feel a little sad.

Chen Gong on the side looked at Lu Ren, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly asked, "Yihao, I have been attached to you for more than twenty years now, right?" ”

Lu Ren turned his head to look at Chen Gong, not understanding why Chen Gong suddenly said this, but he still nodded to Chen Gong. Lu Bu was defeated in the third or fourth year of Jian'an, and now it has been more than 20 years since Jian'an was 25 years old.

Chen Gong said: "For twenty years, although I have spent most of my time in seclusion elsewhere in these twenty years, I still keep an eye on your movements. Because of this, there is something I have never been able to understand, so I wanted to find a chance to ask you properly. ”

Lu Ren said: "Brother Gongtai, what do you want to ask?" In terms of identity, you are my guest, and I am not your lord, so you can ask whatever you want. ”

Chen Gongzheng said: "What I have never figured out is that although Yihao and your subordinate territory now have two liao lands, your foundation is far away from the southern frontier, and it is thousands of miles away from the northern border?" Therefore, even if there is turmoil in the north, and you live in peace overseas, this rebellion in the north will not be much damaged by you. If you are worried that your business with the Cao family will be damaged by this, in my opinion, you don't need to, because Yihao's business routes can go as far as India, the Middle East, and even the Roman provinces on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean, and the benefits are far greater than those with the Cao family.

"In that case, when the Western Regions Alliance invaded Liangzhou, why did you insist on participating in it? You must know that you have done so many things, and I have only seen your money and food being spent like flowing water, and you have caused yourself a lot of trouble, but I can't see any benefit from you. This battle of Liaoxi is to defend your subordinate territory, which is nothing to say, but then you have to send troops to reinforce Jinyang...... Yihao, I really don't understand why you're doing this. ”

Lu Ren didn't speak after listening, but frowned slightly. And Chen Gong first paused after finishing speaking, then looked left and right to see if anyone was near, and then hesitated for a moment before getting closer again, and said in a low voice: "Yihao, in fact, in my opinion, if there is chaos in the north, it will actually be of great benefit to you. You must know that with your current strength, you can take advantage of the chaos in the north to achieve a great feat...... I say that, can you understand? ”

Lu Ren was silent this time, and he was silent for a long, long time. And after this long silence passed, Lu Rencai responded in a low voice: "Brother Gongtai, what do you want to say?" ”

Chen Gong shook his head: "I don't believe you don't understand what I mean. ”

Lu Ren said: "I can indeed do that, but what about our Han family?" ”

Chen Gong said: "I don't believe that you really care so much about the Son of Heaven." ”

Lu Ren was speechless for a moment, and then he remembered that although Chen Gong was a scholar, and he could be regarded as a high-spirited and bright person, he had to talk about his attitude towards the emperor of the Han family...... It's really not very good, anyway, it can't be compared with someone like Xun Yu. Why? In fact, just think about the fact that when Lu Bu was surrounded in Xiapi, Chen Gong once suggested to Lu Bu that he joined forces with the puppet emperor Yuan Shu.

In general, Chen Gong is the kind of person who is very realistic, if you want Lu Ren to evaluate, Chen Gong's people are not bad, and they are somewhat similar to Lu Su in general. As for comparing Lu Su with him, it is because Lu Su once had the remark that "the Han family cannot be revived", and suggested that Sun Quan take advantage of the troubled times to do something, but can you say that Lu Su's character is poor? It can only be said that the political views are different.

Shaking his head again, Lu Ren sighed helplessly: "After all, my thoughts are still not understood?" It's no wonder that the situation has developed to this point, but I have done so many things that seem stupid and fake, and it is too easy for people to think that I am deceiving the world and stealing my name. But that's often the case in this world, the more you tell the truth, the more fake it feels. ”

The person crouched on the city wall and pondered for a long time, Lu Ren finally sorted out some clues and words, and then nodded to Chen Gong and smiled: "Brother Gongtai, I know that what you said is a good word that takes care of me, and I should also do my best." It's just that Brother Gongtai, if I really just cared about our own safety, I wouldn't have had to send troops to the first place. As you asked, brother, do you know why I insisted on this? ”

Chen Gong bowed his hand slightly: "I hope Yihao can solve the doubts in the palace's heart." ”

Lu Ren smiled: "Because I am an angry young man, and no matter how my teeth grow, this angry young plot in my heart will never be reduced by half a point." ”

"Angry youth? Indignant plot? ”

Chen Gong was puzzled by these two words.

Lu Ren smiled again: "I know you won't understand." In fact, I don't know where to start...... Well, let's put it this way. Brother Gongtai, have you ever hated these Wuhu Yourong? ”

"Well...... this"

Chen Gong narrowed his eyes: "Although I can't talk about any hatred, Gong has been reading since he was a child, and he has read a lot about how these Wuhu Yourong robbed the people of my Central Plains, so he doesn't have any good feelings about Wuhu Yourong." ”

Lu Ren said: "That's right. In fact, in this kind of thing, I, like the old brother of Gongtai, have no personal pain for the robbers like Wuhu Yourong. Moreover, we live outside southern Xinjiang, and we are thousands of miles away from these Wuhu wanderers, and we have nothing to do with it, so we can indeed ignore them. To put it mildly, we can 'each of us sweep the snow in front of his own door and leave others with frost', so what is the safety of the north, and what does it have to do with us? One step further on top of that, as you just said, once the north is thrown into a mess by Wuhu Yourong, I will get a lot of opportunities to take advantage of. ”

Chen Gong nodded.

At this time, Lu Ren sighed lightly: "But brother, have you ever thought that since the ancient Xuanyuan period and to this day, no matter how the dynasties in the history of bamboo silk have changed, no matter which family is called the king and emperor, we will always be the descendants of Xuanyuan Yanhuang." And this Chinese Shenzhou is the home of our ancestors who have lived and worked hard for generations. When it comes to civilization and civilization, we are far superior to Wuhu Yourong. But why since ancient times, there have only been Wuhu Yourong who came to the Central Plains of China to loot, and our descendants of Yan and Huang can only be beaten passively? ”

“……”

Chen Gong was speechless for a while.

Lu Ren's words made Chen Gong speechless for a while, and Lu Ren himself looked up at the sky and fell into contemplation and memory.

Lu Ren said that he was an angry young man, which was indeed a big truth. In fact, not to mention Lu Ren, in the era in which Lu Ren himself lived, all kinds of angry young people could be seen almost everywhere on the Internet and forums. And Lu Ren before the crossing was just one of these many grassroots angry youths.

In Lu Ren's own words, as the direct bloodline of Xuanyuan Yanhuang, if he carefully opens the history book and takes a look, it will always make people feel angry and inexplicable. Thesis: Ming civilization, development and progress, Xuanyuan Yanhuang's Chinese civilization was in the forefront of the world until the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. But despite this, the successive dynasties of the Chinese direct line have hardly had any real external expansion after the Tang Dynasty.

Some people may say that the Yuan Dynasty didn't fight to Europe? But in Lu Ren's view, the Yuan Dynasty cannot be regarded as the direct civilization inheritance of Chinese civilization. Really strictly speaking, the Yuan Dynasty was actually a humiliating history of Chinese being conquered by foreign peoples. And the great glory of the Yuan Dynasty to fight in Europe does not belong to the direct bloodline of Chinese civilization at all.

Of course, the rule of the Yuan Dynasty was not successful, and it was driven out of the Central Plains of China within a few generations. But however, how could the Qing Dynasty not be a humiliating history of the Chinese direct bloodline being conquered by foreign tribes?

It's just that the first few generations of rulers of the Qing Dynasty were far more shrewd than the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty, and the strategy of radish and stick was used very well, and they have been advocating some "Manchu and Han family", so that the people slowly recognized the Qing regime. In the years that followed, the Manchus outside the Guanxi were also unwittingly assimilated by the Han and became one of the fifty-six flowers. But for an angry young man like Lu Ren, he still does not agree that the Qing Dynasty is the direct inheritance of Chinese blood.

Some people may say, hasn't Lu Ren become a narrow nationalist like this? But in Lu Ren's own words, that is, "What's wrong with me being narrow-minded?" Is it wrong to want my nation to prosper and be strong? But how many people who have a little blood and conscience don't want their nation and country to be prosperous and strong? If he only cares about his own selfish interests, but ignores the country and the nation for this, then he is a complete traitor! ”

Thinking of this, Lu Ren couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, and then continued to ponder and reminisce.

The plot of the angry youth is the plot of the angry youth, and Lu Ren at this time will inevitably feel that he is really quite naïve and ridiculous at that time, because if he only complains about this kind of thing, it is really not much different from the angry scolding of the street. And after the crossing, Lu Ren crawled in the cruel reality, and in the process of slowly maturing, he already understood that many things could not be done with blood alone.

Let's take an analogy, after the three points returned to Jin, can Lu Ren, who was in Xuzhou at the beginning, be able to stop it? Not to mention stopping such a big thing, to be honest, Lu Ren was afraid that even eating would be a problem in Xuzhou at that time. Let's put it this way, Lu Ren understands that without the premise of corresponding strength and clear goals, it is useless to scold the street and complain like a splash, and in this case, to paraphrase an old saying, it is more realistic to "be poor and be alone", otherwise who will pay attention to you?

But today's Lu Ren is completely different. Today's Lu Ren is already a candidate and the country is rich and the people are strong, and his strong economic strength and maritime strength even a hegemon like Lao Cao dare not despise it, in other words, the current Lu Ren already has the strength of "wealth is good for the world".

And this invasion of the Western Regions and the turmoil in the Northern Territory also made Lu Ren's initial goal not very clear...... Or rather, the dream in my heart gradually became clear. Just as Lu Ren himself said, he is almost half a hundred years old, and when he carefully reflects on his life history, he always feels that he has never done anything decent as a traverser.

Now that there is such an opportunity in front of his eyes, Lu Ren wants to seize this opportunity and let himself, the descendants of Xuanyuan and the sons and daughters of Yan Huang, do something decent. To put it mildly, Lu Ren knew that he didn't have the ability or courage to settle the three of Cao Liu Sun, and then come to dominate the world. But it is still possible to teach a ruthless lesson to alien races and Wuhu Yourong, and to establish a prestige for the bloodline of Xuanyuan Yan Huang.

After wording in the deep groan, Lu Ren spoke: "Brother Gongtai, I don't know if you have ever encountered this kind of thing. It is in the market that the ruffians bully the weak, relying on a knife in their hands to bully others, while the bystanders dare not speak out for fear of being hurt. ”

Chen Gong smiled and said, "How could it not be?" ”

When Chen Gong was young, it was a time when the world was in turmoil, and this kind of thing naturally happened to him. But how did Chen Gong know that what Lu Ren said was actually something that was no longer ordinary in modern society?

Lu Ren smiled and asked, "What does Mr. Gongtai think is what the surrounding people think most in their hearts at this time?" ”

Chen Gong said: "Naturally, there can be a righteous swordsman who fights with his sword and holds on to righteousness, and he can teach these ruffians a hard lesson." What's more, I also hope that I can lift my sword and go straight to the righteous. ”

Lu Ren said: "Brother Gongtai, these five-bearded thieves are like the ruffians on the streets of the market, and these people in the north are the good people who are arbitrarily bullied by these ruffians, so what about us?" Just because you don't want to hurt yourself, do you ignore these ruffians? To be honest, I'm not really a good person, and if I didn't have the strength to conquer the Wuhu, I might really turn a blind eye and avoid it. But I have the strength now, just like the sword warrior that everyone expects. And this sword, Brother Gongtai, do you think we should come out? ”

Chen Gong groaned when he heard this, but he didn't open his mouth to respond.

Lu Ren continued: "I don't know what you think, but I think there are some battles that must be fought. Just as we have just quoted, if the ruffians in the market do not teach them a good lesson, so that they are afraid and dare not bully the good, it will only make them more and more arrogant, and the bullying of the good people will become more and more serious. In the same way, for these five-bearded thieves, when it is time to fight, they must fight a few battles fiercely, so that they dare not regain the heart of robbery! If they don't even dare to give birth to half a point of plundering, then how dare they entangle their subordinates to plunder the land and harm the people? Of course, I also know that there will not be a once and for all in this world, but I think this battle will pass, and the north will be at least 30 years of peace. ”

At this point, Lu Ren suddenly froze, how could he be so familiar with this sentence in his heart? Which great man should have said it in my memory......
