Volume 3 Chapter 429 Bitter Drama (4)
It's August of this year.
At this point of rest, if someone asks what Cassili's biggest concern is, Cassili's reply will be that it is the movement of the Romans, because the current rest is only to resist Lu Ren's offensive in the Persian Gulf and suppress the rebellion of the Sassanids in the Parsis region, and Lu Ren has not done his best. At this time, if the Roman Empire, a resting old grudge, intervened in Armenia again, Cass Eli really had no confidence to withstand it. Three-front warfare, are you joking?
But things in the world are often what you are afraid of, and in mid-July, Cass Eli received some news that the situation was not right on the Roman side, and then Rome started a new round of military operations against Armenia, and such news immediately gave Cassily a headache.
Prior to this, Rest and Rome were originally on par, or it should be said that Rest actually had a certain advantage at the beginning, and Rome only reluctantly turned the situation back with the support of some Lu Ren later.
Because it was a stalemate, both sides actually wanted to negotiate a truce, but because many things had not yet been decided, both sides still stationed a corresponding number of troops on the border. Then Lu Ren stepped in at this critical time, and after a series of efforts, the Roman side finally decided to continue fighting.
After all, there were still a lot of troops stationed in Armenia in terms of peace and rest, so it was difficult for the Romans to achieve any fruitful results in a short period of time. However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that as long as the time is slightly prolonged, and as long as Lu Ren and Rome do not make any major military mistakes, then Rest is doomed to be a defeat, not to mention that there is a Sassanid family inside Rest who is still desperately making trouble.
Therefore, for this part, there are more and more people in the interior of the rest who want to negotiate peace with Lu Ren and Rome, and Cass Eli herself will not be an exception. But it's still the same sentence, Kath Eli has to take into account Wan'er's reaction, and the current situation is not bad enough to a certain extent, so Cass Eli is more or less lucky...... Well, if there's still a little possibility, who wouldn't want to get back to the best of both worlds?
But as a politician, Cass Eli did not forget to prepare for both, to put it simply, if you can fight, you can fight, and if you really can't fight, then make peace, after all, the status and power of the royal family are the most important thing, and keeping these at a critical time will be the first priority. However, out of the idea of wanting to have the best of both worlds, Kasi Yili certainly didn't want to anger Wan'er and make Wan'er abandon her, so at this time, she also paid special attention to the role that vanilla might play as Wan'er's personal maid, and naturally tried her best to get closer to vanilla, and even if she brought it, she would inevitably tell vanilla some ideas or something......

"Yihao, you arranged for the Xizuo in the city of rest to bring back a letter of vanilla."
"Really? Show me! ”
Lu Ren, who was busy with things, hurriedly threw down the work in his hand and took the letter from Minchan's hand. After reading it carefully, Lu Ren paced in circles in the cabin with his hands behind his back. Minchan waited for a while, but couldn't help asking, "What did that girl say in the letter?" ”
Lu Ren said: "The situation inside the rest is a little unexpected to me, but it is also unexpected. ”
Minchan frowned: "What? ”
Lu Renzheng returned his hand and raised the letter in his hand again: "There are voices in Anxie who want to make peace with me, this is not unexpected, what surprises me a little is that Kasi Yili herself also wants to make peace with me." ”
Saying that, Lu Ren closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly: "But this kind of thing is actually not surprising. Because most people who are in power, generally speaking, few people can give up the power, status and wealth in their hands. And this Kasili, as a woman, has been in the position of regent for so many years, and she has revitalized the rest from the original crisis, which is enough to show how heavy this woman's love of power is. Now that she is in danger, a complete defeat means that she will have nothing left of Kasili, which is not something that such a woman can accept, so when necessary, she will only choose how to keep the power in her hands. ”
After saying this, Lu Ren also secretly sighed in his heart, and said in his heart, is such a woman like Wu Zetian, or like a certain old lady who has been in power for decades?
Mink Chan hesitated: "Kasi Yili wants to make peace with you?" Then why didn't you see her do anything? ”
Lu Ren shook his head and smiled. Cass Eli wanted to win over Vanilla, and there were a lot of things that leaked to Vanilla. Vanilla is relatively simple and doesn't know much about some things, so she just transcribed Cass Eli's original words to Lu Ren. But Lu Renna is an old fritter, just from these words, you can roughly infer Kasi Yili's mentality.
At that moment, Lu Ren told Minchan about his analysis, and Minchan pondered for a long time after listening, and finally shrugged his shoulders to Lu Ren and said: "I don't know much about power, but as a woman, and an elderly woman, if you can be more than ten or twenty years younger, then this kind of temptation is really not ordinary." ”
Lu Ren laughed: "Woman...... In fact, don't say it's you women, immortality is just enough to make the vast majority of people in this world crazy, so Kass Yili will have a concern that she doesn't want to offend Wan'er, and that's why she has the delusion that she wants to have the best of both worlds. ”
Minchan said: "Then what are you going to do now?" ”
Lu Ren didn't speak immediately, but turned to look at the map on the wall. After reading it for a long time, Lu Rencai said to Minchan: "Go and tell Gan Xingba that I will give them five days, and then in these five days, I must knock down a few points on the east side of Bandar Abbas!" ”
————————————————————
Lu Ren's attack on the north shore itself did not do his best, this is something that Hassan Keyin can see, and Hassan Keyin has always been worried and fearful, for fear that Lu Ren will suddenly go all out, because after such a period of fighting, Hassan Keyin, as a good military general, knows very well that it is difficult to block Lu Ren's all-out attack with only the strength he currently has at hand, and all he can do now is to delay a little time as much as possible.
Now that what Hassan was worried about had finally happened, Lu Ren suddenly concentrated a large number of troops and equipment, and launched an unusually fierce attack on several points on the east side of Bandar Abbas with an absolute local advantage. Although Hassan Keyin had been prepared for a long time, he was really powerless in the face of Lu Ren's strong advantage.
In short, to put it simply, the time limit given by Lu Ren to the troops was five days, and in fact, it was only on the third day that the troops completed the order given by Lu Ren, and then immediately began to consolidate the front-line positions according to Lu Ren's requirements, putting on a posture that a large-scale offensive might be launched again at any time.
Hassan Keyin's heart is anxious. As soon as a few key points on the east side of Bandar Abbas are lost, in terms of military aspects, it means that one foot of Lu Ren has stepped into the door of rest, and the other foot can follow at any time, but he does not have the strength to push Lu Ren out.
In terms of the overall pattern, the rebellion of the Sassanid family at the head of Parsis has not yet been suppressed, and Rome on the Armenian side has begun a new round of attacks, as long as you are not stupid, you can see that these three parties must be related to each other. And Lu Ren played such a result at this time, which is bound to play a leading and guiding role for the other two ends, so that these two ends are also full of energy. In this way, the rest, which is already a three-sided enemy, will only make matters worse.
But no matter what, the battle still had to be fought as hard as possible, and Hassan Ke was trying to adjust his forces as much as possible, and at the same time, he would naturally deliver urgent letters to Kasili.
Kasili, who was also completely panicked after hearing the news, convened her staff overnight to discuss countermeasures, and the main topic was to see if she could recruit some more reinforcements from where in the rest of the country to Hassan Keyin. It's just that the current rest has really reached the point where it is stretched, after all, it is necessary to say more about the fact that the rest is fighting on three fronts, and the strength of the troops will be tightened?
It was at this time that someone finally carefully asked whether he could try to negotiate peace with Lu Ren. And as soon as these words were spoken, the entire resting hall was immediately silent, and no one dared to say anything more.
Cass Eli actually had this idea in her heart, but she had some concerns in her heart after all, so she didn't make a clear statement in the court. After a hasty discussion and a hasty dismissal, Cass Eli came to the garden, ostensibly walking in the garden, but in fact Kasy Eli wanted to see Vanilla, and wanted to get a glimpse of Wan'er's tone from the fragrance of the grass.
Without further ado, it wasn't long before Kasily saw Vanilla in the medicine garden that was about to go to the garden. After saying hello and then saying something implicitly, Vanilla fell silent. After looking around for a moment to make sure that there was no one, Vanilla suddenly knelt down to Cass Eli and made Cass Eli inexplicable:
"Vanilla, what are you doing here? You don't seem to have done anything wrong, do you? Even if you make any mistakes, for the sake of the gods, I will be lightly punished. ”
Vanilla shook her head, hesitated for a moment, and then took out a letter and handed it to Cass Eli. Kath Yili was a little puzzled at first, but as soon as she saw the signature on the letter, Kasi Yili's face suddenly turned extremely pale: "This, this is Lu Ren's letter!?" Vanilla, you, you ......"
Vanilla lowered her head, and whispered a brief explanation to Cass Yili about her previous accidental arrest of Lu Ren, and then raised her head and said to Cass Yili very earnestly: "My king, I know that the sins I have committed are enough to make me die a thousand times, but with the current situation in which we rest in peace, what will be the result of fighting like this again?" And during the few days I was there with Lu Nanhai, I felt that he didn't want to fight anymore, but he had a reason why he had to fight. So my king, no matter what you are going to do with me, please read this handwritten letter written by Lu Nanhai, okay? ”
At this time, Kasy Yili was also silent, and glanced at the vanilla who was still kneeling there a few times, neither letting the vanilla get up, but also not calling someone to come over and do something to the vanilla, but hid in the corner and unfolded the handwritten letter written by Lu Ren.
This handwritten letter was handed over to Vanilla by Lu Ren through the fine work arranged in the city of the King of Rest, as for the content of the letter......
In fact, Lu Ren's previous order to attack the east bank of Abbas with an all-out force, in addition to the military and political significance on the surface, also has a deep meaning of forcing Kasi Yili to a certain part. Only by forcing Kasi Yili to a certain point can some of Lu Ren's back-up moves come out. For example, this letter, if there is still such a delusional heart in Cass Eli's heart, then Cass Eli will not hide and read the letter carefully, but let people catch the vanilla at that time.
Lu Ren clearly wrote this matter at the beginning of the letter, and then Lu Ren turned his pen, first talking about the so-called grievances between himself and Wan'er, indicating that the most fundamental purpose of his attack on Anxi was just for Wan'er, and he didn't care much about other things. If Kass Eliken cooperates with Lu Ren to do something, then Lu Ren will not only withdraw immediately, but also help Kass Eli solve the problem she is facing before retiring and going back.
In the end, Lu Ren wrote at the end that Wan'er can give you Cass Yili, and I, Lu Ren, can give it to you, and it will be better than Wan'er's, which also includes "your young appearance...... Lu Ren has conducted a comprehensive analysis of Cass Eli, so what Kasi Eli wants in his heart, Lu Ren is confident that "although he doesn't win, he is not far away".
And Cass Eli will rely on Wan'er so much, and the key problem lies in these needs. After Lu Ren learned about these situations from Vanilla, he decided to start with these root causes, so that Kasi Yili would no longer rely on Wan'er so much. And Lu Ren didn't brag about it, what Wan'er could give Cass Eli, Lu Ren was confident that he could give better.
Don't talk about things like governance, will Lu Ren's level of governance and development be much stronger than Wan'er? Moreover, the current Lu Renke has the "inheritance" from the hands of "him" in this time and space, and he is very confident in all aspects.
Of course, a short letter can't be written in too much detail, and Lu Ren can't write too much, so the last sentence at the end of the letter is: "If Your Excellency the Regent has the intention in mind, you can find an excuse to go to the front line on the north shore of the Strait of Hormuz to meet Lu Ren." Here, in order to show his sincerity, Lu Ren hereby promises two things to Your Excellency. First, on the day of the meeting, Lu Ren will go alone; Before the two met, Lu Ren no longer raised troops to attack each other, but it was only limited to fifteen days. In addition, please remember that this matter must not be known to Wan'er, and I hope that you will reply quickly......"
