Volume 3 Chapter 306 Unexpected Events (3)
A few days later, Liu Xie, the emperor in the Xuchang Imperial Palace, received a letter from Lu Ren...... Don't wonder how it's so fast. If necessary, Lu Ren had a way to send things to Xuchang within a few days.
He didn't talk much, and the text on this table probably meant that Lu Ren was ordered to attack Guishan from the sea, and he was currently on the way to march. It's just that the sea is far away, and Lu Ren's navy can't reach the outpost of Rangoon in a short time, but the outpost of Rangoon has been attacked by the Kushan side, and the battle situation is also a little dangerous. And Lu Ren considered the overall battle situation, and also out of helplessness, asked Emperor Xian Liu Xian to come forward and ask Liu Bei to send a force as reinforcements to participate in the war, and the route was from Shuzhong and rushed to Yangon through the Sichuan-Burma passage to help in the war.
Well, to put it bluntly, it was actually Lu Ren who borrowed troops from Liu Bei, and nominally took the road of offering emperor Liu Xie. Perhaps in the eyes of some people, it seems that there is no point in Lu Ren doing this, because a tyrant like Liu Bei wants to refuse the edict of Emperor Liu Xie and is afraid that he will not find an excuse? But if Lu Ren, who has been mixed up for so many years, would only smile and say: "The person who says this kind of thing can only show that he doesn't understand politics." β
Don't talk about the things in this, Lu Ren himself will not be naΓ―ve to think that Liu Bei will obediently obey the edict of Emperor Liu Xie, so Lu Ren has another preparation here, that is, Lu Ren sent a letter to Liu Bei, and said to Liu Bei very bluntly that your Ma Chao is not very peaceful, it just so happens that I am in urgent need of employment here, and your old Liu will lend him to me for use.
In fact, Lu Ren only said one sentence in his letter to Liu Bei: "Today's garrison Tianshui, close to the countryside, Meng Qi has the meaning of homesickness, this is the normal feeling of people, Xuande Gong does not have to be careful, and mistaken for loyal and righteous people." However, Lu Ren knew in his heart that Liu Bei definitely knew better than himself what Ma Chao was thinking, so as long as many things were a little bit, Liu Bei would immediately understand the implication.
Then Lu Ren calculated such an account for Liu Bei in the letter:
First of all, Lao Liu, you are fighting in the Liangzhou area, so Ma Chao's connections in the Liangzhou area are indeed very helpful to you Lao Liu, but Ma Chao will definitely develop his own strength as much as possible. When it comes to a certain point, are you Lao Liu sure you can still control him?
Then, Lu Ren put forward his own worries, that is, Ma Chaoren has arrived in Liangzhou, but he can't go home because he is under the control of your old Liu, so who dares to guarantee that Ma Chao will not do some paranoid and extreme things under the "homesickness"? In case Ma Chao hooks up with the Western Regions Alliance Army with a hot brain, what kind of consequences may be triggered, you Lao Liu can think about it for yourself;
Next, Lu Ren said his proposal here, that is, to ask Liu Bei to send Ma Chao over, and told Liu Bei that you are willing to take a bag of explosives that may be detonated to fight the battle in Liangzhou, or are you willing to throw out this bag of explosives and take a more stable route? Anyway, I've already helped you find the name, it's not difficult to explain to Ma Chao, you Lao Liu can also get a good reputation for being loyal and patriotic, you can do it yourself. And here Lu Ren also has a hidden sentence, that is, I have invited Emperor Liu Xie to come forward, aren't you Lao Liu a loyal minister of the Han family? Don't get me punching you in the face about this.
Liu Bei is a smart person, of course, he quickly understood what Lu Renxin meant. Seriously, at this time, Liu Bei also felt a little the issue of treating Ma Chao. Just like Lu Ren said vaguely in the letter, fighting on this one-third of an acre of land in Liangzhou, Ma Chao's old connections are indeed very useful, but Ma Chao's person is really unrelenting. If he doesn't manage enough, Ma Chao can pull up a team of people to do his own; But if you manage too much...... If it is really like what Lu Ren said, there is something wrong with his obsession, then Liu Bei must not have a big incident here?
Therefore, after Lu Ren's letter was delivered to Liu Bei's hands, Liu Bei's eyes immediately lit up. With the edict of the Son of Heaven as an excuse, Ma Chao is not easy to refute; And after Ma Chao was separated, Ma Chao was the reinforcement sent by Liu Bei after all, and he still belonged to Liu Bei's command, so Liu Bei could still be attractive to the Qianghu family in Xiliang; Of course, the most important thing is to keep Ma Chao, the Martian son, away from the powder cartridge in the Xiliang region.
So Liu Bei immediately sent someone to find Lu Ren's communication personnel left in Hanzhong, saying that he would immediately send Ma Chao to lead the troops to Yangon to help in the battle. But at the same time, Liu Bei did not forget to put forward conditions to Lu Ren...... To put it bluntly, I took this opportunity to ask Lu Ren for more money, food, and materials. If you don't take advantage of it, that's not Liu Bei's personality, it's just that Liu Bei can tell which one can be taken advantage of and which one can't.
In this way, Ma Chao was unwilling and reluctant to be sent back to Shuzhong by Liu Bei, and after a little preparation, he went south from Shuzhong to Yangon through the Sichuan-Burma Passage. But when he arrived in Jianning, Ma Chao met Lu Ren in Jianning. To be exact, it was Lu Ren who was waiting for Ma Chao here in Jianning. And Ma Chao will take more than 10,000 cavalry out of Shuzhong to Yangon so honestly, in fact, it is also because Lu Ren replied to Ma Chao with a letter, so that Ma Chao will honestly carry out any orders issued by Liu Bei, and when Ma Chao arrives in Jianning, Lu Ren will naturally give Ma Chao an explanation......
ββββββββββββββββββββ
The Nanzhong area is rich in products, and because it took refuge in Luren earlier and listened to Lu Ren's words, although it is not as good as the Yiguangquan area in the core of Luren in terms of development, towns like Jianning and Jiaozhi can be regarded as better second-tier towns in Lu Ren's hands. At least at least, there has been a supply of electricity in some of the mansions in Jianning and Jiaoji, which looks a bit like the posture of Yizhou when electric lights were first installed more than ten years ago.
It's late at night, and there's no winter in the south-central region, so it's a bit hot. In the pavilion in the backyard of a mansion, Ma Chao was curious about the electric lights hanging on the beam of the pavilion...... Ma Chao has always been in the northwest and Shuzhong, unlike some generals in Liu Bei's group, who have either seen too much of Lu Ren's products, or have simply been to Yizhou.
Lu Ren, who was sitting on the other side, handed a glass of cold wine to Ma Chao and said with a smile: "Don't look at it, there's nothing strange about it." Maybe when you have the opportunity, Meng Qi, you can go to my Yizhou to have a look, then you will be dizzy. β
Ma Chao replied and sat down in the seat again, then looked at the wine handed over by Lu Ren, first smelled it and said in surprise: "This is a high-quality grape wine?" β
Lu Ren smiled: "Meng Qi knows this wine?" Also, I don't sell this stuff less. β
Ma Chao hurriedly shook his head: "I know this wine in the next place, it's not because of Lu Zhengnan." β
Lu Ren smiled and motioned for Ma Chao to explain. In fact, Ma Chao doesn't need to explain Lu Ren and knows what's going on, Liangzhou is the starting point of the land Silk Road in China, and it's normal for some goods from the Western Regions to come over. Even if some religions do not allow the consumption of alcohol, it does not prevent them from allowing alcohol to circulate as a commodity.
Don't talk about this, Lu Ren asked Ma Chao to speak, it was nothing more than finding a conversation to shorten the distance between the two sides first. After so many years of mixing, Lu Ren still has this means. And after Ma Chao explained, he also felt a little familiar with Lu Ren, and immediately asked Lu Ren about the doubts in his heart: "Lu Zhengnan, why did you let Zai go down to Nanzhong and then transfer to Yangon?" β
Lu Ren said: "It's very simple, if you are in Xiliang, I can't help you." The money and food you need can only arrive at the beginning, but it is not a small amount at the end, so whether I send it to Cao Wei or Uncle Huang, it will be easy to attract their attention. If there is a mistake, I Lu Ren will certainly not have anything wrong, but Meng Qi, do you think you can explain it clearly? β
"This ......"
Ma Chao had nothing to say, after all, Lu Renke was right. In fact, Ma Chao's idea was to get Lu Ren's first few aids, and just save the initial family funds first. When he takes Liangzhou, he has a way to get money and food...... Oh, this has to show that it is just Ma Chao's self-thinking feasible method.
Lu Ren ate and drank slowly, then raised his head and said to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, let's not say dark words in front of the Ming people. I just want to ask you, do you want to return to Liangzhou and revert to your Ma family's family background in Xiliang? β
Ma Chao hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded to Lu Ren with determination. Of course, Ma Chao didn't forget to add a few beautiful words such as "guarding the border for my Han Town".
For these beautiful words, Lu Ren didn't bother to say it. There are some things that are really boring when they are really broken. So after smiling, Lu Ren changed his words: "I know that I asked you to leave Liangzhou, and you are very dissatisfied in your heart." But Meng Qi, you might as well think about it this way, in the case that my money and food here can't be delivered to you, can you really do anything in Liangzhou? Will you be able to ignore Uncle Liu's orders, or will you be able to compete with Cao Pi's army? β
"......" Ma Chao lost his temper.
Lu Ren refilled the wine, shook his head and said, "There are some things that you just need to understand in your heart, and I don't want to say too much." In addition, Meng Qi wants to advise you, I am afraid that you have no hope for this Xiliang land, because whether Uncle Liu Huang takes it down or Cao Pi takes it down, it is impossible to hand it over to you. I think you should have a bottom in your heart. β
Ma Chaoxin said that of course I have the bottom. If it weren't for this reason, why should I look for you Lu Ren?
Then Lu Ren unfolded the map he had with him and drew a circle on the map: "Meng Qi, I didn't say you, if you want to revive your family background, why do you just stare at Xiliang?" Here you see, how big is this land, are you interested? β
Ma Chao looked at the map, and he was stunned: "What does Lu Zhengnan mean?" β
Lu Ren said: "Go and fight here." You can hit as many as you want. The most important thing is that if you fight here, I can guarantee the supply of military supplies to you, so that you have no worries. β
In fact, Lu Ren has a sentence that is inconvenient to say, that is: "Don't you Ma Chao just want territory?" What are you making trouble in your own nest? Want a site? Yes! Give me a foreign occupation of it! β
Ma Chao is selfish, of course he will not be fooled by Lu Ren's words. Besides, Ma Chao wants to go back to Liangzhou because he has a certain foundation in Liangzhou in terms of connections, so that he can do the kind of thing of the soil emperor after he succeeds, but the territory drawn by Lu Ren is bottomless for Ma Chao.
In turn, Lu Ren also knew that those words were unlikely to move Ma Chao, so his fingers began to draw a curve in the place he had just drawn: "I believe you already knew that I was going to attack Guishuang under the edict of the Son of Heaven, right?" Do you think that if I fight Guishan, I will leave after a few battles? Tell you, it's not that simple! I am going to take them all into my hands. And if you can hit here, don't you think you're already close to Liangzhou? β
The route Lu Ren pointed out was to send troops from Burma, through Bangladesh, Nepal, and Kesmir, and finally to Takskstan and Kyrgyzstan. Although the route was very long, this road was not a barren land, on the contrary, there were many tribal countries there at that time, and some were simply one of the so-called thirty-six countries of the Western Regions at that time. Ma Chao looked at the map, and he was stunned: "What does Lu Zhengnan mean?" β

It will rain in Nanchang for nearly half a month, which is really annoying! The bottle really wants to play in the water, and by the way, I gave my sister a paper foam sunscreen......
