Jianye, in Sun Quan's mansion, Sun Quan is pacing back and forth under the corridor, and from time to time he will raise his eyes to look at the door, with a little anxiety in his expression, it is not difficult to see what Sun Quan is waiting for. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Finally, a figure appeared in Sun Quan's sight, Sun Quan hurriedly greeted him, and hurriedly asked before he even had time to give a salute: "Brother Zhong, can Shang Xiang have something to say?" ”

Of course, the person who can be called "Brother Zhong" by Sun Quan is Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Quan's eager expression, but just shook his head indifferently. Seeing this, Sun Quan was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh lightly: "Shang Xiang's temper has always been upright, and it's not surprising that you can't get anything out of her mouth, Brother Zhong." ”

Zhou Yu still shook his head: "The lord misunderstood." Shang Xiang didn't hide anything, but told me everything she knew. I shake my head because ......"

As he spoke, Zhou Yu took out the map given by Sun Shangxiang and handed it to Sun Quan. At this time, Lu Su also rushed to Sun Quan's side, and looked at the map with Sun Quan.

This is a map of Liaodong. But in general, the drawing is not very detailed, there is a little bit of random drawing, and the mountains and rivers are marked at random. However, on this map, three arrows were drawn in the direction of Liaodong, corresponding to the western line of Juhwagang, the southern line of the sea route, and the eastern line to contain the attack on Goguryeo under Lu Ren's arrangement of Liaodong, and the number of troops of these three lines of army was also marked below the arrows.

Zhou Yu didn't say anything, he had already seen this map. As for Sun Quan and Lu Su, they were also people who could fight and read maps, so it didn't take long for them to understand the military intentions on this map. In fact, although this map is drawn casually, even people who don't understand military affairs can basically understand it.

After looking at the map, Sun Quan was stunned for a long time, and then asked Zhou Yu very uncertainly: "Brother Zhong, what is this map...... Was it painted by Shang Xiang? ”

Zhou Yu shook his head: "It's not Shang Xiang, but Lu Ren drew it, and Lu Ren still handed over this map to Shang Xiang with his own hands, and told Shang Xiang that if we ask Shang Xiang about something, let Shang Xiang directly hand over this map to us." ”

“……”

Sun Quan and Lu Su lost their temper at that time. They are all smart people, and they are all at the level of human spirits, how could they not understand Lu Ren's intention to come to them like this? No, the number of men and horses of the third-line legion is marked on the map!

After being silent for a long time, Sun Quan pointed to the troop numbers on the map and asked, "Is there a deception?" ”

Zhou Yu shook his head: "No." Even if there may be discrepancies, they will not differ much. ”

Because Zhou Yu did not die of illness as in the original history, Lu Su did not take Zhou Yu's class at this time, but stayed by Sun Quan's side as Sun Quan's staff officer, and even had a clear understanding of the information on Yizhou, so after thinking about it carefully, he added on the side: "According to the news that came back from the detailed investigation, among Lu Ren's three lines of soldiers and horses, only the southern front should be Lu Ren's regular army dispatched from Yizhou. According to the picture, there are 10,000 army troops and 18,000 naval troops on the southern front, which is about half of Lu Renyi's government army (referring to the regular army and mobile troops in Lu Ren's hands), which is about the same as the news that he came back from the investigation. As for the rest of the soldiers and horses in Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other places, Lu Ren did not move at all. It's just that the soldiers and horses of the Western Front and the Eastern Front ......"

Zhou Yu let out a long sigh again, and then continued: "I asked, and Shang Xiang didn't hide it from me. Among the soldiers and horses on the western front, only 3,000 were soldiers from Yizhou, and the rest were all Liaoxi soldiers recruited by Tuoba Yu and Murong Ziying under Lu Ren's command in Liaoxi; As for this route on the eastern front, it was originally a fleet in charge of the waters around Iju, Wado, and Samhan, and although there were only more than 5,000 troops, they could be directly mobilized with a little mobilization. Moreover, the lord, Shang Hyang, will also participate in the Eastern Front Fleet's diversion battle against Goguryeo. With Shang Xiang coming forward, it is not difficult to bring in the thousands of Jiangdong children we have on Wadao to fight together. ”

Sun Quan calculated the number of troops that Lu Ren used against Liaodong, and the figure he came up with was about 30,000, and then he frowned and said: "With these more than 30,000 people, he Lu Ren can take Liaodong?" ”

Zhou Yu sighed generally: "As long as there are no accidents, Liaodong will inevitably fall into the hands of Lu Ren." ”

Sun Quan was silent again. After a long time, Sun Quan turned his head to look at Lu Su beside him, Lu Su understood what Sun Quan meant, and after thinking for a while, he responded: "The lord is also a smart person, and he should have long understood Lu Ren's intention of handing over this map to the county lord, and then the county lord will transfer it to the lord." And the matter has come to this, please be relieved of the Lord. ”

What is Lu Renlai's intention? To put it bluntly, there are actually nothing more than two, the first is to ask Sun Quan not to think too much, because Lu Ren's current war against Liaodong will cause a large number of military movements in Yizhou, and Sun Quan, as Lu Ren's neighbor, will naturally keep a snack on this, in case Lu Ren suddenly comes to Jiangdong, so Lu Ren is telling Sun Quan to rest assured, Lao Tzu's goal is not you, don't be full and be nervous;

The second is also to ask Sun Quan not to think too much, Lao Tzu sent out a lot of soldiers and horses, but Lao Tzu left enough garrison in Yizhou, if you Sun Quan thinks that Yizhou sent troops outside and then the air defense is weak, then it is a big mistake.

Sun Quan is a smart person, and he actually understood Lu Ren's intentions when he saw this map, just like Zhou Yu would immediately understand when he saw the map. And the sentence "there can be fraud" is just a question under suspicion. Now with the relevant analysis made by Zhou Yu and Lu Su, Sun Quan knows that Lu Ren's things are doing well, and he even thinks of the fact that he is likely to probe Sun Shangxiang here, and it is through Sun Shangxiang's hand that he has passed a message to himself, what else does Sun Quan have to say?

He sighed awkwardly, but Sun Quan smiled again. Putting away this map casually, he pulled Zhou Yu with his left hand, pulled Lu Su with his right hand, and said with a smile: "Forget it, we don't think about these things anymore, until Shang Xiang escorted the mother of the country back to Wu this time, and brought back a lot of Yizhou specialties, including even more aged wines, Brother Zhong and Zijing might as well go with Gu to taste it." ”

When Sun Quan said this, anyone who understood might understand that Lu Ren had successfully dispelled some of Sun Quan's plans with a randomly drawn map......

――――――――――――――――――――

Let's turn our eyes back to Liaodong.

What is the most powerful weapon in the world? H-bomb? Atomic bomb? Or some other high-tech weapon?

I'm sorry, the current Lu Ren doesn't think so. Maybe in the early years, when Lu Ren was still a hairy boy and didn't know much about things, he would think that those weapons were very powerful. But if you ask Lu Ren now, Lu Ren will say this:

"In a sense, money is the most powerful weapon in the world. Although those other weapons are very powerful, if there is no money, can those weapons be made? ”

In the battle against Liaodong, Lu Ren did not use many troops. According to Sun Quan's calculations, the total number of troops mobilized by Lu Ren was about 30,000, and Liaodong had more than 700,000 household registrations. It is precisely because of this that Sun Quan will say things like "With these 30,000 horses, Lu Ren can take Liaodong".

And if Lu Ren is asked to answer, Lu Ren will reply: "I have sent fewer soldiers, but I have money." So what really opened the way for me after the fight was the money in my hand. ”

Of course, this is not to say that Lu Ren blindly took money to buy it, and Lu Ren was not stupid enough to that extent. The real approach, Lu Ren did it very delicately.

Why keep Gongsun Gong in the first place? Let's not talk about too complicated statements, to put it simply, Gongsun Gong is actually the spokesperson hired by Lu Ren for money, and Gongsun Gong will go to the people of Liaodong to win people's hearts and carry out positive propaganda for Lu Ren.

And then, Fu Yu's looting attack on Liaodong, although it surprised many people, was not in Lu Ren's "accident list". is still the same sentence, Lu Ren, the guy who crossed over, has paid attention to and thought about many things, so he has made full considerations and preparations in many aspects, so when he learned that his husband was invading Liaodong, Lu Ren immediately activated the backup plan, and then there was the matter of Lu Lingqi and Chen Gong leading the army to sweep the rest of the husband in the Xiangping area. This is not to say that Lu Ren is smarter than anyone, but Lu Ren has the advantage of having relevant historical materials and intelligence, and then he is careful and careful to make arrangements. In Lu Ren's own words, he is just a typical "stupid bird has to fly first".

Well, let's not talk about these first, let's just say that at this time in the territory of Liaodong, a large number of people in Liaodong are rushing in groups in the direction of Lelang under the deliberate guidance of some people. The reason is none other than him, that is, Lelang has food to eat, clothes to wear, and a strong army to protect them.

As I said before, Lu Ren did not launch a rapid attack on Liaodong, but chose to slow down and wait for Gongsun Yuan and Gongsun Gong to play infighting in Liaodong. In terms of time, Lu Ren's troops defeated Gongsun Yuan's Liaodong elite in Xisai Mountain in late winter and early spring, and let Gongsun Yuan go and let Gongsun Yuan detour back to Xiangping, and at the same time, Gongsun Gong took advantage of Gongsun Yuan's absence in Liaodong to cultivate strength, and the approximate time was in the spring of Liaodong.

The plan of the year lies in the spring, it is said that the people of Liaodong should be busy sowing seeds for this year's harvest and carefully protecting the seedlings, but Gongsun Yuan and Gongsun Gong are busy recruiting troops and expanding the army to expand their strength, and the spring ploughing will inevitably be delayed a lot.

Then between the summer and autumn, the infighting between Gongsun Yuan and Gongsun Gong broke out, and they were very happy with each other, and the situation in Liaodong was naturally a bit chaotic, and agricultural production was bound to be affected accordingly. You must know that the farming industry in Liaodong was not very good at that time, and it was good to be able to enter the mu of land to put it mildly, but where could it withstand such infighting? To put it simply, this year's harvest in Liaodong is underharvested.

If that's all it takes, everyone tightens their belts and then thinks of some other ways to get through this winter. When the snow disappears in spring, go hunting, do business or something, and finally hold on to the autumn harvest of the following year. But the problem is that at this time, the husband came out again.

It is almost a common practice for the northern aliens to go to the farming areas to fight the autumn wind and "grass/grain" in the autumn and winter seasons, and Lu Ren's official launch of the war against Liaodong happened to be between September and October, that is, the alternation of autumn and winter, which was the time when the northern aliens came out to plunder. The harvest of the people of Liaodong this year has been in arrears due to the infighting between Gongsun Yuan and Gongsun Gong, and if they are robbed by the husband like this, the things that are not much in their hands are basically gone. If this thing is gone, how will you live?

It was at this time that Gongsun Gong returned to Lelang according to Lu Ren's request, and then in the name of Gongsun Gong said to the people of Liaodong that Lu Ren had supported a large number of food and clothing, "to help the suffering of the people and save the people's urgency", so the people of Liaodong, who don't know how to live this year, will of course rush to the direction of Lelang in groups...... Lu Ren has been mixed up for so many years, and he was originally engaged in Tuntian, so he is too clear about this aspect of things, and his experience is rich and experienced.

In general, Lu Ren did not intend to use excessive military operations to conquer Liaodong at the beginning, but was ready to take advantage of the difficult situation of the people of Liaodong caused by the battle between Gongsun Yuan and Gongsun Gong to smash it with money, and "smash" the people of Liaodong to stand on his side. If the husband didn't come out to make trouble, Lu Ren's plan might have taken a little longer; But as soon as the husband came out to make trouble, it saved Lu Ren a lot of time.

Looking at the Lelang area at this time, a large number of people were settled down and received corresponding clothes and rations. Lu Ren didn't let the people be idle, but led the people to do some things that should be done, such as burning bricks to build houses, digging holes, and mining, all of which were not pulled down. In other words, at this time, Lelang had actually begun to carry out the initial construction according to Lu Ren's setting. And these people under Lu Ren can be said to have rich experience in this area, so things are also done in an orderly manner.

Attack Xiangping? No hurry! It's just a matter of time before your Gongsun Yuan finishes playing, so why should I rush at this time? And your Gongsun Yuan still has considerable strength in his hands now, I, Lu Ren, will cause me a lot of losses if I fight hard with you for such a little time, okay? Until your Gongsun Yuan has lost quite a lot of people's hearts now, I will play a role in this regard, continue to use money to smash and use grain piles, I believe it will not take too long, your Gongsun Yuan will betray his relatives and leave, and I will destroy you at that time, will it be difficult?
