In May of the twenty-seventh year of Jian'an, Lu Ren successively received an edict from Emperor Liu Xie and a letter of apology from Cao Pi in Yizhou, and many representative figures in the Han court and Cao Wei also wrote a large number of letters of consolation to Lu Ren. In addition, Cao Pi made compensation to Lu Ren very painfully, and now he is on the road.

Such an ending should be said to be an inevitable result, so Lu Renzhi doesn't care very much, anyway, for Cao Pi's side that should be lifted, for Emperor Liu Xie's side, Xun Yu is in charge of the letter that should be replied or the political means that should be played, and Lu Ren doesn't need to worry about it. In contrast, what Lu Ren is more concerned about now is the news sent back by Lu Lingqi in Liaoxi: Cao Zhang, after nearly a month of repeated thinking, finally took his "righteous army" to Liaoxi, and is currently on the way to Jinzhou City, if nothing else, he can arrive in Jinzhou within five days.

At that time, Lu Ren sent someone to send a physical letter to Lu Lingqi and Cao Zhang, so at first Xun Yu didn't know that Lu Ren was secretly attacking Cao Zhang. But this time the telegram was sent back from Liaoxi, and Xun Yu naturally handled it, and then Xun Yu was stunned. It is true that Xun Yu was the top wise man in the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty, but compared to Lu Ren, there are still some historical limitations, so many times Xun Yu can't understand what Lu Ren is thinking in his head. And this time is no exception, Xun Yu really couldn't figure out why Lu Ren wanted to win over Cao Zhang when he saw this telegram, and finally found an opportunity for no one to ask Lu Ren the question in his heart:

"Yihao, what is your intention for that Cao Ziwen?"

It was the middle of the night, and it was the Dragon Boat Festival season in May. And in such a season and at such a time, what could be more comfortable than sitting with fox friends and dogs, drinking beer and eating spicy crayfish to take out? At least Lu Ren called back a few large portions of Ma Xiao when he was almost busy with Xun Yu, and then invited Xun Yu to eat and drink together. Hearing Xun Yu's question at this moment, Lu Ren smiled and put the flipped hemp in his hand into Xun Yu's plate and then asked, "Xun Gong, what do you think?" ”

Xun Yu hesitated for a moment, grabbed the hemp that Lu Ren had peeled, dipped it in the sauce, and then put it in his mouth, and after chewing and swallowing it carefully, Xun Yu said with a twinkle in his eyes: "Is it possible, do you want to support this unambitious Cao Ziwen, and then try to send him to the position of Duke of Wei when it is almost time?" ”

Lu Ren's hand that was peeling Ma Xiao trembled at that time, and Ma Xiao, who had peeled half of it, fell into the bowl and splashed a few sauces. After taking the rag and wiping the tabletop, Lu Ren said to Xun Yu with a little crying and laughing: "I said Xun Gong, do you think it is appropriate if I do this?" ”

Xun Yu has always been courteous, gentle and kind, but at this time, he rarely crossed a little ruthlessness in his eyes: "If there is something to do, why not!" ”

“……”

Lu Ren was speechless for a moment. To be honest, with Xun Yu's usual humility and gentleness, Lu Ren was not surprised at all that he would suddenly say such a thing, because Lu Ren knew very well what kind of attitude Xun Yu had towards the Han family. And Lao Cao's insistence on establishing the Duchy of Wei touched a sensitive nerve in Xun Yu's heart, which eventually caused the parting of ways between Xun Yu and Lao Cao. In the original history, Xun Yu was determined to die to Lao Cao, but the current situation is that Lu Ren took advantage of the situation to turn Xun Yu over, but Xun Yu's hatred for Cao Wei will not be reduced by half a point because of the change of some things.

Anyway, to put it simply, Xun Yu's idea is that Cao Wei will not be destroyed, and the Han family is still in danger. Therefore, Xun Yu really hopes to see some changes in Cao Wei, and then give the Han family a chance to prosper. Now Xun Yu saw that Lu Ren was deliberately supporting Cao Zhang, and then remembered Cao Zhang's courage and strength and some battles between the Cao family brothers...... Well, Xun Yu would think that it was normal for Lu Ren to want to play some kind of yin damage tricks. And for Xun Yu, such a means is conducive to the split of Cao Wei and the revival of the Han family, it is time to play!!

But that's not how Lu Ren thinks. Or to be more precise, Lu Ren didn't think about supporting Lao Cao's other sons, and then provoking a dispute between Lao Cao's sons. In fact, Lu Ren does have this condition, like Cao Chong, who is hiding in the literature department of Yizhou University at this time.

It's just that Lu Ren, as a traverser, can see some other more long-term things, so Lu Ren has always suppressed this idea in the depths of his heart.

For example, for example, in the pattern of the Three Kingdoms, Shu and Wu will not end within twenty years due to the survival of outstanding personnel such as Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and Sun Quan. And if there is really any split on Cao Wei's side, who will be the most sensitive and the first to grab the big cake? Could it be Lu Ren? I'm afraid not! With Liu Bei and Sun Quan's sensitivity and reaction speed, Lu Ren is likely to get a piece of the pie at most.

The most important thing is that once these two goods have robbed of any advantageous position, then the next thing these two goods will start is a war to dominate the world, and Lu Ren will inevitably be involved in it. And whether Liu Bei takes the world or Sun Quan wins the world, he will definitely turn around and clean up Lu Ren in the end, so Lu Ren will have no way to surrender in addition to fighting to the death.

Some people may say that the chaos of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty is not good for reunification as soon as possible? After the unification of the external situation, everyone can live and work in peace and contentment to develop the productive forces, and the people can live a good life, right? Lu Ren originally thought the same way, but after so many years, Lu Ren would say "too superficial".

Because the unification of this era is actually only an immature unification, it can also be said to be a victory for the noble landlord class to gain political power. However, the aristocratic and privileged nature of the noble landlord class is too strong, and it is too easy to embark on the line of misleading the country with privilege...... The Jin Dynasty was like this when the three points returned to the Jin Dynasty, and how many years has the Jin Dynasty been founded, and how many bad things have happened before and after? What Shi Chongdou Fu, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings and the like, it is not so much a man-made disaster, but a disaster caused by the dictatorship of the scholars. Especially the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, the result was to provoke foreign invasions, and how many years of darkness did the Chinese continent fall into because of this?

This may be a bit too esoteric, but let's keep it simple. Lu Ren had no interest, no ability, and no courage to engage in the great cause of unifying the Chinese mainland, but Lu Ren did not oppose the early reunification of the Chinese mainland. But there is one thing, that is, Lu Ren will never agree with that kind of immature unity. To put it bluntly, Lu Ren, as a person who has indignant thoughts and has repeatedly studied this period of history, does not want to hand over the future direction of Chinese civilization to the dictatorship of those nobles. These people, what can't be done for the sake of their own interests?

So at this time, if you take a closer look at what Lu Ren has done over the years, he is actually quietly spreading some modern rational ideas through various means, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is imperceptibly. But at the same time, Lu Ren knows very well that in this era, these things can not be completed in just ten or twenty years, and what is needed is a longer and longer time.

And at this time, the most important thing to pay attention to is the growing noble class in this era, once they find that these things are not conducive to their aristocratic autocracy, they will definitely spare no effort to suppress them. At this point, it is useless for Lu Ren to take the position of the Son of Heaven even now, because once you reach such a high position, in order to maintain your own power, you will inevitably have to compromise with these nobles who are in the limelight in this era. Aren't Cao Pi, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan in history all like this?

Maybe only Zhuge Liang is still holding on to something in a sense, but what is the end of Shu in the end? Liu Chan obviously still has the strength to fight, but after a few words from Qian Zhou, there are really many people in Shu who agree to surrender. As for why this is the case...... Isn't it because Zhuge Liang suppressed the local scholars in Shuzhong too fiercely? Therefore, the scholars in Shu are eager for your Shu Han regime to get out of here.

Don't go too far, anyway, Lu Ren knows that if he really fights hard with these scholars, he will definitely not be able to fight, and if he wants to have fun with his own ideas, the more feasible way is to take advantage of the situation, and take advantage of the situation of Cao, Liu and Sun's three families to fight against each other, and they all want to swallow the other two into their stomachs.

To put it bluntly, the wealthy clans in the three families of Cao, Liu and Sun are worried that they will be swallowed up by the other two wealthy clans in the country, and if they don't want to be annexed, they have to work hard to make themselves bigger and stronger. And if you want to become bigger and stronger, you have to take the initiative to accept those ways that can make your family better, and then Lu Ren mixed a lot of rational thoughts into those things that were taught to the wealthy family.

In a short period of time, the wealthy clans of the Shi family may not be aware of anything, or realize something, but they have to adopt it because they cannot delay the development of their own clan, and the result can only be a fait accompli. When a lot of rational ideas took root in the hearts of the middle and lower classes of ordinary people, the wealthy families of the scheming family could not make much of a storm...... Well, this is the calculation in Lu Ren's heart.

Now to put it again, Lu Ren wants to do these things, and the first premise is that the current Huaxia Continent cannot be unified prematurely, or to be more precise, it cannot be unified by the noble class of the scholar clan. Because once they are in power by these noble clans, then they will definitely suppress the rational ideas spread by Lu Ren in all aspects, and don't forget that the most important thing the feudal dynasty wants to do is to maintain their power through the foolish people, and Lu Ren is very clear about this matter, so Lu Ren still needs the pattern of Cao, Liu and Sun to continue to stand.

And in such a pattern, no one can make any mistakes and collapse in advance, and Cao Wei, as the common enemy of the Liu and Sun families, is even more so. Therefore, although Lu Ren had the idea of supporting Cao Chong or Cao Zhang to fight for power with Cao Pi, he chose to suppress this idea to the bottom of his heart out of consideration for the overall situation in his heart. At this moment, for the words Xun Yu said, Lu Ren wanted to ask Xun Yu: "How deep is your old man Xun's resentment against Cao Wei?" ”

Of course, this could not be said, so Lu Ren just smiled and shook his head. Seeing Lu Ren like this, Xun Yu was a little disappointed in his heart, but Xun Yu believed that Lu Ren would win over Cao Zhang, and he must have his own plans, so Xun Yu didn't ask anything more, but picked up a cold beer and ate a side dish, waiting for Lu Ren to explain.

Lu Ren peeled a hemp for himself, and after dipping it in the sauce, he didn't put it in his mouth, but drew a circle in front of Xun Yu: "Xun Gong, where is our conquest fleet for Guishan now?" ”

Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, and responded: "The Pioneer Fleet has just arrived in Malacca, and it is now being repaired in Malacca. ”

Lu Ren shrugged. In fact, the sea attack on Guishan had been prepared for a long time, but it was temporarily transferred to Liaodong because of the Liaodong war, and it was only after the battle that he returned to Yizhou to make new preparations, which dragged on for a long time. On the other hand, after all, this is a large-scale expedition to the outside world in the true sense of Yizhou, and it is not a small-scale fleet to go out to do business or fight guerrillas, and the aspects involved are really not ordinary, so the fleet has been out for a long time, and the vanguard fleet has only arrived in the Malacca area. And such a large-scale fleet is indispensable to carry out some related coordination drills on the road, and the time is a bit long.

Lu Ren still understands this matter, and he doesn't want the fleet he spent his blood to build go out and not come back, so many things would rather be slow and stable. Now the vanguard fleet has only arrived in Malacca, but it is also within the range of Lu Ren's acceptance. After all, this is not a naval battle in modern society, and an aircraft carrier formation with a few thousand people can reach Malacca from Yizhou in a few days. Even if it is the mode of naval warfare in modern society, where will there be less relevant training?

Regardless of this, Lu Ren threw the hemp in his hand into his mouth, then dipped the soup and drew a rough map on the table, pointed to the area on the east coast of the Bay of Bengal and said to Xun Yu: "Xun Gong, do you think that our troops alone are enough to eat a large area of land in these areas?" ”

Xun Yu immediately frowned: "Not enough, far from enough." It's just Yihao, your purpose is to fight Guishan first, and then rest in peace, why are you interested in this area now? ”

Lu Rendao: "Our fundamental place is in the area of Yi, Quan, and Guang, and the effective control scope is the entire Southeast Asian sea east of Malacca. But out of Malacca, Xun Gong, don't you think our control is much less? ”

Xun Yu raised his eyebrows: "So Yihao, what do you mean?" ”

Lu Ren said: "Whether it is Guishan or rest, as two big countries in Central Asia, once the war starts, the battle cannot be fought in three or two strokes. And since this battle will be fought for a long time, it is indispensable that we provide a large amount of military supplies from Yiquanguang. So Xun Gong, don't you think it's too dangerous for our fleet to have weak control over this area on the east coast of the Bay of Bengal after leaving Malacca? One if something goes wrong with our sea transport routes, then ......"

Xun Yu nodded: "If something really goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable, so Yihao, what do you think?" ”

Lu Ren smiled: "We don't have enough soldiers, but we can find a way to find someone to help me make up." ”

(To note, this time the Bay of Bengal also includes the Andaman Sea to the southeast.) On land, Lu Ren is actually referring to the area of Myanmar, Thailand, and Malaysia bordering the Indian Ocean.
