Volume 3 Chapter 24 Step by step is a pit

"Yes, I decided to fund you. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info But you have heard me clearly, I am only contributing, that is, the money, food and equipment you need, I will help you as much as possible, but in terms of soldiers and horses, you have to figure out how to do it yourself. Ziying, you have been in my Yizhou for so long, you should understand that it is not that I Lu Ren is stingy and refuses to lend you soldiers and horses, but that my own soldiers and horses are a little insufficient......"

Lu Ren's words made Murong Ziying a little disappointed, but he understood that this kind of thing was unacceptable. You eat and drink on Lu Ren's territory, and your small life is quite nourishing. Now that Lu Ren has expressed his willingness to give money and food for you to do things, what are you embarrassed to force? No matter what, I will trouble you to make a face, okay?

Xun Yu on the side picked up at this time: "Since Cao Mengde's northern expedition to Karasuma and the capture and killing of Kudun in Liucheng, the dragons in the northern part of the country have no leader, and the large and small tribes of Karasuma and Xianbei have attacked each other, and the situation is very chaotic. And such a situation is quite similar to the Central Plains during the chaos of the world, it may be too much to say that the people are not living well, but it is the truth that many tribes have nowhere to seek food. If you return to the land of Saibei, with the money and food supplied by Luyi Prefecture, you can completely collect many large and small tribes that have nothing to eat, so why worry about it after a long time? ”

Murong Ziying nodded again and again when she heard this, and Lu Ren raised her eyebrows at Xun Yu, and then gave Xun Yu a thumbs up under the table.

How else to say that Xun Yu and Lu Ren are actually old partners? In fact, as early as when they were still working together in Zhencheng, Puyang, and later Xuchang, Yu Zhi didn't know how many similar things they had handled, and there were hundreds of thousands of displaced people who were collected by them with "food tactics". Although the current "battlefield" has become a gateway to the north, people need food, no matter who they are, so this "food tactic" is just as effective.

Murong Ziying nodded there, and people had already begun to think about some related things, so Tuoba Yu asked Lu Ren a little blankly: "Lu Yizhou, although I also want to go back to my hometown, but, but ......."

After several consecutive "buts", Tuoba Yu found the right words, and said with a bit of resentment: "But Lu Yizhou, little brother Murong learned the book of war and tactics, of course there is no problem in commanding the clan and rectifying the soldiers and horses, but what I learned is...... Alas! It doesn't seem to be of much use if I go back! ”

Lu Ren smiled: "Who said it's useless?" It's true that you're learning song and dance music, but have you ever wondered who will be responsible for your ancestors' worship when many tribes are united? We Han people have our ancestor Yanhuang Xuanyuan to sacrifice, don't you Xianbei tribes have ancestors to sacrifice? And after you go back and gain a firm foothold, you have to pass on to everyone the things you have learned that can make everyone eat and be satisfied, can you expect Ziying to do these things?

"Okay, let me put it bluntly, Ziying is like a military general among our Han people, who is in charge of leading troops to fight and protect his clansmen; And you are a civil official, in charge of sacrificing ancestors and teaching the clansmen, so you should understand, right? And if you want to return to your hometown and live in your homeland, then civil and military affairs are indispensable. ”

"Oh? That's ......"

Tuoba Yu nodded as if he didn't understand, and didn't say anything more, but Lu Ren vaguely heard the little girl muttering to herself: "Sacrifice? So can't I usually sing and dance to everyone? ”

When he heard these words, Lu Ren wanted to rush over and give Tuoba Yu dozens of big mouths first. You little girl knows a chrysanthemum? You can sing and dance if you love to sing, who will stop you? Besides, how much influence do you actually have to play those as a priest, and do you understand it?

Lu Ren naturally had his own intentions in doing this. In other words, if Murong Ziying is compared to a military leader, then you Tuoba Yu is a political commissar, okay? Of course, this metaphor is a bit inappropriate, but this is what Lu Ren means, so that Murong Ziying and Tuoba Yu support each other, and at the same time check and balance each other, so as not to create a situation where one family dominates.

And Tuoba Yu also has a very key use, which is to spread out Lu Ren's influence here. Lu Ren's purpose is to take the initiative to assimilate and integrate, but it's not really enough to make you a big deal. Lu Ren is not so great to say.

Without further ado, it was only said that after Lu Ren explained some things to the two goods, he asked the two goods to go back and discuss with the people in their respective tribes, and then turned back to Xun Yu and asked, "Xun Gong, what do you think of these two people?" ”

Xun Yu pondered for a long time and responded: "That little girl is okay to say, when it comes to this Murong Ziying, Yihao, you'd better use more snacks." ”

Lu Ren nodded: "That's what Liu Ziyang told me at the beginning. Don't worry, Xun Gong, I naturally have my reasons and methods for doing this, I just want to ask you now, can we do this? ”

Xun Yu said: "If you control it properly and make the land of Saibei fall into your hands, then when Cao Mengde wants to be the king, you can threaten Hebei from the north, and at the same time help him with boats and boats along the coast, which can pose a huge threat to Cao Mengde." ”

Lu Ren said: "But time is a bit tight, just like this, it's probably not enough, so I have another hand to prepare." ”

Xun Yu raised his eyebrows: "What else do you have to prepare?" ”

Lu Ren took a sip of the teacup, and his face showed a little sinister: "When necessary, I will go to Liu Bei and Sun Quan and let them follow to join in the fun." There is no need for them to really fight, as long as they can create momentum, so that Lao Cao does not dare to act rashly, it is enough. ”

Xun Yu shook his head again and again when he heard this: "Yihao, you think things are too simple, right?" Liu Bei and Sun Quan are both heroes in the world, and they are not good birds. This kind of thing seems to make them earn some fame, but it is not profitable at all, and where will they listen to your persuasion? Besides, where is Cao Mengde who is so easily scared? ”

Lu Ren said with a smile: "You don't know this, I have something in my hand that can let them come out and help us drink together, they want to buy such things from my hands and they have long been crazy." And here I am, I don't know how many people I have to kill every year. ”

Xun Yu was stunned at the time, and then hurriedly asked Lu Ren: "Yihao, what are you talking about...... The kind of equipment you used when you fought Sun Quan at sea? And I heard that you used this kind of equipment at that time to destroy the old city of Quanzhou in just one night, and now that I think about it, I also want to ask you, is this really the case? ”

Lu Ren nodded: "That's right, there is indeed such a thing." Xun Gong, you have also come to Yizhou, so do you want to go with me to see such a thing? ”

"Of course!!"

Artillery, in fact, can no longer be regarded as a secret, because the urban defense equipment of Yizhou, Guangzhou, and Quanzhou has more or less replaced the original trebuchet with this thing. However, one is that the casting of this thing itself is not so easy, and the other is that Lu Ren has always been very close to the key gunpowder manufacturing, so in the past few years, although the three families of Cao, Liu and Sun have all discovered that Lu Ren's "artifact" is such a huge metal cylinder, they have never known how this large metal cylinder launched the cannonball.

Without further ado, it is only said that after Xun Yu followed Lu Ren to see the huge power of the artillery with his own eyes on the city defense fort, he did not forget to ask Lu Ren in horror: "Yihao, how are you going to use this thing to impress Liu Bei and Sun Quan?" I'm still saying the same thing, those two are not good birds, if you really get this, you may have to think about your Yizhou defense instead. ”

Lu Ren smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid." In fact, my accurate idea is that when Lao Cao is about to become king, he will first use this thing to bombard the coastal land under Lao Cao's territory, and then I will warn Lao Cao that if he insists on becoming king, I will resell this thing to Liu Bei and Sun Quan in large quantities. So Xun Gong, do you think that at that time, will Lao Cao worry about his defense adjustments everywhere? On the other hand, if Liu Bei and Sun Quan really got a lot of this thing, then Lao Cao's many fortified cities would actually be useless, right? ”

Xun Yu lowered his head and muttered: "First bang to let Cao Mengde know how powerful this thing is, and then scare him...... Yihao, I always feel that your ideas are still a little naΓ―ve. But then again, at this point, maybe this naΓ―ve idea of yours can really come in handy. ”

Lu Ren said: "It's better than nothing." And I think Lao Cao has always been pragmatic, he doesn't care much about those false names, and sometimes he just wants to shut up the people under his command and have a hope before jumping up. And if we give him a suitable step, Lao Cao's personality should go down this step. ”

Xun Yu nodded, then looked at the artillery beside him, and suddenly asked, "Yihao, does this thing have anything to do with the 'forbidden spell' you used in Xiapi at the beginning?" ”

Lu Ren had been prepared for this, and said with a smile: "There are some." Actually, I only knew a little bit about it, so I didn't know how to avoid the poison when I was making it, so my body was very damaged......"

Xun Yu nodded, then looked at the artillery beside him, and suddenly asked, "Yihao, does this thing have anything to do with the 'forbidden spell' you used in Xiapi at the beginning?" ”

Lu Ren had been prepared for this, and said with a smile: "There are some." Actually, I only knew a little bit at the beginning, so I didn't know how to avoid the poison when I was making it, so my body was greatly damaged......" (To be continued. )
