Zhou Yu's idea for Lu Ren will not be mentioned for the time being, anyway, Lu Ren felt that he could give it a try after hearing it, and even if this trick failed, it would not cause any loss to himself, in Zhou Yu's own words, if it was not necessary, he didn't want to see the thousands of Jiangdong children he brought out shed those meaningless blood, so what does it matter if he gave it a try?

In short, Lu Ren adopted Zhou Yu's suggestion, and Huang Zhong and Sun Shangxiang also agreed. It's just that the implementation of the strategy can't be carried out immediately, Lu Ren has to make some preparations, and Huang Zhong and the three of them can't let them rush back to Ceylon just after the meeting with Lu Ren, right? You have to let them rest for a few days and go back slowly.

So after the meeting, Lu Ren held a small banquet on the deck of his landing craft to entertain Huang Zhong and the three of them. In terms of form, this small banquet is a bit like a family buffet barbecue, without so many cumbersome etiquette, but it also has a little more freedom and casualness, and people can be closer to each other.

Among several people, Mr. Huang is notoriously unwilling to obey the old. And as Lu Ren's direct subordinate, he was abducted by Lu Ren very early, and was "poisoned" by Lu Ren a lot...... Hehe, there is no other meaning here, Old Man Huang is just more greedy, able to eat, and able to eat under the influence of Lu Ren. So after the barbecue tools were set up, Huang Zhong rolled up his sleeves and got started in person, and he was very busy in front of the barbecue grill.

Huang Zhong is like this, just catch up with Sun Shangxiang, who loves to be lively next to him, this old and young you and me, it looks like a grandfather and granddaughter laughing there.

All in all, this atmosphere is still very good, and it is also the result that Lu Ren wants to see. Holding the food plate and chatting a few words, he saw Zhou Yu sitting at the bow of the boat, and he also looked at Huang Zhong and Sun Shangxiang messing around there with a smile on his face, so he immediately walked over and sat down next to Zhou Yu, and asked, "What is Gongjin thinking?" ”

Zhou Yu shook his head lightly: "I didn't think about anything, I just enjoyed this peaceful life." ”

Saying that, Zhou Yu also raised his hand and pointed at Sun Shangxiang: "This girl is also not a small child, but she still likes to fool around as much as she did at the beginning, as if she has never grown up, and she is still the little girl she was at the beginning." ”

Lu Ren said: "Some people are really ignorant and fool around, but some people are too sensible, so they only mess around when they can, and the county lord is undoubtedly the latter." In fact, at some point at the beginning, how many people could understand the pain in the county lord's heart? ”

Zhou Yu nodded silently.

Lu Ren glanced at Zhou Yu a few more times, and suddenly asked: "Gong Jin has been with me for a long time, and he must be very concerned about his wife and children, so do you want to go back and see them?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "It's certain to be worried, but in a few days I will go to help Lu Nanhai with your tricks against Kalihet, where can you go away for a while?" ”

Lu Ren said: "Then why don't I order someone to bring your family to Central Asia?" It would be better for them to come to Central Asia and stop at Ceylon. ”

Zhou Yu was really a little moved when he heard this, but after thinking about it for a while, he still shook his head and said, "It's still not necessary." Xiao Qiao is not alone in Yizhou, she has Cai's family as her companion, and the dog is studying, so let him study hard. ”

It was inconvenient for Lu Ren to say more about some issues, so he casually opened the topic. After chatting a few words, Lu Ren asked again: "In the past few years since Gongjin came out, how do you feel about the outside world?" ”

Zhou Yu sighed lightly when he heard this: "If you don't come out, you really don't know how big this world is." Thinking about it, I used to always stare at the Central Plains of China, but now I think about it, it's really a bit of a mouse. Lu Nanhai, you said that if someone could take the entire Eurasian continent in the palm of their hands one day, what a great achievement would it be? ”

Lu Renxin said You have such a big appetite! But in fact, it can be beaten, but it can't be used for a chrysanthemum. Because if you really want to fight, Alexander once fought from the Mediterranean side to India, and then Genghis Khan and his descendants the Mongol Empire fought from China to Europe, but it was just a fleeting rue. And what practical significance does the territory laid by these two guys have in the future? It is nothing more than leaving a legend in history.

After another thought, Lu Ren secretly laughed at himself. Because in a sense, he, Lu Ren, seems to be doing a similar thing now, isn't this all from Asia to Central Asia? And if it continues to develop according to the current situation, once it wins the rest, it will really be a very big pattern. However, Lu Ren's mind was not on occupying the territory, because Lu Ren knew too well that even if he could fight it, he couldn't control it. And if there is something he is doing, it is that Lu Ren is spreading Chinese culture to the outside world.

But at this time, Zhou Yu here was staring at Lu Ren: "Lu Nanhai, do you want to achieve such a great feat?" ”

Lu Ren shook his head: "I don't have that interest, let alone that ambition." In fact, if it weren't for some other reason that led me to Central Asia, I think I would have stayed in Yizhou and done something I like to do. I didn't bother to say those beautiful words, I just said that I would let my people live and work in peace and contentment, and live their own lives. ”

Zhou Yu couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this: "It's a pity to arrive." Lu Nanhai, do you know that if you are ambitious, it is actually very likely to ......"

Lu Ren waved his hand to interrupt Zhou Yu's words: "Don't talk about that, I'm not interested." In fact, what if I could do something? If something cannot be fundamentally changed, it is nothing more than letting the people live a peaceful life for a few decades, and then there will be internal problems, and then there will be corruption in a dynasty, and then there will be a pattern of chaos in the world. ”

Lu Ren is talking about an iron law of the feudal imperial dynasty, but where would Zhou Yu understand this? But it is not appropriate to say that Zhou Yu does not understand at all, after all, there are the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty in front of Zhou Yu, and it is difficult to say anything else, but Zhou Yu still knows about the corruption and demise of the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty.

After pondering silently for a while, Zhou Yu asked, "Lu Nanhai, in your opinion, why is my big man gradually declining?" Is this the case with Destiny? ”

Lu Ren said: "Actually, how can there be any destiny in this world that is not destiny? The so-called Mandate of Heaven is nothing more than an inevitability that arises over time. And if you want me to say, the weakness of the dynasty is the absolute corruption brought about by absolute power. If a dynasty wants to prosper for a long time, then there must be checks and balances on power...... Ay? What are we doing all this for? ”

Zhou Yu smiled, but didn't say more. But Lu Ren's words just now touched Zhou Yu very much, so that Zhou Yu's heart was secretly thinking about what kind of situation Jiangdong would be if it continued to develop, after all, Sun Quan had already controlled the absolute power of Jiangdong at this time, so would Jiangdong enter a gradually corrupt situation as Lu Ren said? And if Lu Ren knew what Zhou Yu was thinking at the moment, he would have added, "It should be about the same, right?" ”

Indeed, the original historical Jiangdong Sun Group should be said to have reached its peak at this point in time, and Sun Quan in his prime also sat firmly in Jiangdong completely. It's a pity that Sun Quan began to have some precursors of "deterioration" at about this time, and then in Sun Quan's later years, Jiangdong actually began to go downhill. And after Sun Quan's death, there was really no one who could support Jiangdong. It's not that Jiangdong didn't have talents later, but the current situation made these talents useless. Don't they all say that the times make heroes? But without this "current situation", no matter how capable the hero is, he has a fart to use.

The above is not a serious topic, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than small talk while drinking, anyway, Lu Ren didn't pay much attention to it. As for what Zhou Yu was thinking in his heart, Lu Ren couldn't know, only that Zhou Yu didn't know what to sit there thinking about for the rest of the time. After the occasional question, Zhou Yu only deduced that he was just thinking about how to perfect his plan against Kalihet.

————————————————————

After some time, the offshore of Caliheit.

I don't know when the current lord of Kalihet, Nagodpur, began to become restless and restless. And the reason why he became like this is nothing more than that he feels tremendous pressure from the outside world.

In fact, among the more than a dozen city-states of Ah San at that time, Nagopur's strength was not very strong, but it was not weak, it belonged to the kind of situation where he couldn't move others, but others couldn't help him. And this situation, such a number of city-states, was not brought to an end until much later. Not to mention, anyway, if it is the original history, until Chen Xuanzang went to Ah San to study Buddhism, Ah San still has this virtue of a multi-city-state.

Don't go too far, just say that Nagopur was originally able to be his city-state lord in Kalihet, he could be very nourished, and he could enjoy power, wealth, and beauty as he pleased, and he could also live his life in peace and comfort. However, the emergence of the caste revolutionary army some time ago caused him to panic. It is important to know that the caste revolutionary army now occupies a number of areas in the southernmost and southeastern parts of the Asan Peninsula, and the original high castes in these areas ......

Needless to say, anyway, the caste revolutionary army was influenced by Lu Ren to come to a large-scale peasant uprising, and what is the attitude of the peasant uprising in China towards corrupt officials, local tyrants and inferior gentry? Need more explanation?

So Nagodpur was really frightened, and immediately began to build up his armaments. In fact, at the beginning, he only had more than 10,000 troops. However, because the caste revolutionary army made such a fuss, he had to expand the army to about 30,000...... Don't think that the population of the Asan region was large at that time, the population expansion of the Asan region only began in modern times. And the 30,000 men in Nagodpur were almost beyond the limits of what he could bear, after all, he was only the lord of a city-state. There is really no way to increase it, otherwise Nagor Zen really wants the entire army of more than 100,000 people to come out.

Speaking of which, Nagopur's ability is not very bad, at least at this time, in addition to active military preparations, he has also spent a lot of thought on intelligence and diplomacy. Diplomatically speaking, he tried to forge alliances with several other city-states, but unfortunately to no avail...... Well, there were also many irreconcilable contradictions within the early Ah San, or between the high castes and the high castes, between the priestly group and the priestly group, who made the religion on Ah San's side too mixed and competing for power? And this kind of contradiction is still common in modern society, let alone in that era.

However, although Nagopur did not improve in terms of diplomatic alliances, he did a good job in intelligence, at least he quickly found out that Lu Ren was behind the caste revolutionary army. And for Nagopur, he is really no stranger to Lu Ren, and when he was doing business earlier, Nagopur knew that Lu Ren was a very, very powerful lord, at least very, very rich.

Then, when Lu Ren's corps first arrived in Central Asia, Nagopur also sent a small number of ships to follow the rest fleet to Yangon, wanting to see if he could grab something and pick up some cheap from Lu Ren. However, it turned out that none of the ships he sent out returned.

It was from that time that Nagopur knew that a character like Lu Ren would never be provoked, let alone something like him could afford. So after getting this information, Nagopur wondered if he could get in touch with Lu Ren.

He is not stupid, he knows that at some point, he will probably not be able to withstand the hard top if he wants to go to the hard top, so the end will either surrender or die. Especially if it falls into the hands of the caste revolutionary army, there is no other way but to die. In this case, it is better to find a big backer and surrender as soon as possible...... There is no more nonsense here, anyway, Lu Ren has already made a corresponding analysis, and the actual situation is not much different from what Lu Ren analyzed.

Then, just as Lu Ren said to Huang Zhong and Zhou Yu, it was impossible for Lu Ren to accept this kind of surrender from Nagopur, even though Lu Ren was actually quite happy in his heart. Because if it is accepted, it will cause a series of major differences between Lu Ren and the caste revolutionary army in terms of political ideas, beliefs, slogans, etc.

Once these divisions arise and turn Lu Ren against the caste revolutionary army, wouldn't that make Lu Ren's current good situation have one less friend and one more powerful enemy? And no matter how Lu Ren didn't want to see the Ah San, he didn't want to have any conflicts with these people in terms of spiritual beliefs. Because if you have a spiritual conflict with someone like that, these people will definitely give you a terrible headache......
