Although the incident that Cao Pi came up with was ended in a rather dramatic situation, and the battle did not start in the end, this is of course a good thing for Lu Ren, but it also sounded the alarm for Lu Ren. Fastest update

It's beautiful just from the last case. Tian Chou stood up to stop him, Liu Bei and Sun Quan made military deterrence at the same time, and then there was the huge public opinion pressure on Cao Pi caused by Emperor Xian Liu Xie and Zheng Xuanzheng led by Emperor Xian Liu Xie and Zheng Xuanzheng...... It seems that a very, very large number of people have stepped forward to help Lu Ren.

But Lu Ren clearly realized that this was just a superficial phenomenon, and in fact, the amount of effort and price he spent here was probably difficult to calculate. Therefore, at this time, I should reflect and review here, and make corresponding adjustments to the next strategic plan. Otherwise, if this kind of thing happens again, it is difficult to say what the final result will be. And Lu Ren is sure that if he doesn't make adjustments, and Cao Pi has another chance, such an incident will definitely happen again.

For this reason, Lu Ren made a special trip back to Yizhou, and called all the important staff members who could be summoned, and made the following adjustments after a three-day meeting.

The first is to carry out an appropriate amount of military expansion in various territories of Lu Ren. Let me make it clear here again that Lu Ren took the route of separating the military and the people, not the Han Dynasty's "picking up a weapon is a soldier, picking up a hoe is a farmer", so Lu Ren's total strength on hand is relatively small.

Taking Yizhou as an example, the household registration statistics of Jian'an in the past 30 years are more than 1.4 million, and if it is according to the kind of military system in the Han Dynasty, how can it be said that the entire army of more than 100,000 people can come out. And if it is excessive, such as Zhuge Liang's late Shu Han Dynasty, the population of only 940,000 in Shu can only produce an army of 100,000, then the entire 300,000 troops of Yizhou in Lu Ren's hands can come out.

But where would Lu Ren do that? Doing so will only have a huge negative effect on one's own economic system, right? Therefore, the total number of troops from the Yizhou household registration, and the total number of naval and land armies, was only more than 40,000 and less than 50,000, which was already a very low proportion at that time.

However, from another aspect, this also shows that Lu Ren still has relatively sufficient reserves and potential, and the person who has the deepest understanding of this point is not Lu Ren's person, but Zhou Yu, who has investigated Lu Ren's territory in detail. Then Zhou Yu felt Lu Ren's huge potential, so he tried his best to dissuade Sun Quan from doing stupid things.

No more gossip, anyway, there is no pressure on Lu Ren to expand his troops at this time, and the impact on people's livelihood and economy is also very small, but it is already very useful for consolidating the defense of the territory. For example, Yizhou Lu Ren originally left a total of 25,000 naval and land armies, but after the expansion, it was only an additional 10,000. However, with the strength of 35,000 troops, combined with the naval superiority that Shanglu Ren has always maintained, I dare not say more, but it is enough to deal with the more than ten thousand people who came to attack Yizhou by Sun Quan.

Then on the diplomatic side, Lu Ren relaxed, or should it be said, increased the volume of trade with Cao, Liu and Sun. But it should be made clear here that Lu Ren did not increase the official trade volume of Cao Liu and Sun, but increased the trading volume of the three wealthy families in these three countries.

As for why he did this, to put it bluntly, Lu Ren wanted to further strengthen the "pro-Lu" sentiment in the hearts of the wealthy families in these three families. Not to mention, in this incident, the obstruction effect made by the wealthy clan of the Cao family on the side of Cao Jing to Cao Pi can be regarded as once again comprehending, it can be said that if it were not for the obstruction of these wealthy clans in the open or in the dark, Cao Pi's soldiers and horses would have been able to leave Shanhaiguan at least a month earlier, and it is difficult to predict what kind of consequences would have been caused in that case.

It's just that these wealthy families want to stand up and help you? To put it bluntly, isn't it just for profit? If it weren't for Lu Ren's huge interests here affecting them, they would be willing to stand up and help. And Lu Ren is very aware of this, so he further increased the trade volume of these wealthy clans, so that when Cao Pi wants to play any tricks again, these wealthy clans will jump out more decisively to obstruct Cao Pi.

In fact, there are several advantages to doing this, first of all, Lu Ren did not retaliate against Cao Pi after this incident, but increased the amount of trade, and more or less he could get back some good reputation of "ignoring past suspicions and repaying grievances with virtue", which is to take advantage of public opinion;

Secondly, Lu Ren's additional trade volume is all conventional goods, which is basically not close to military supplies, which is equivalent to saying that Cao Pi can not get any benefits from these additional trade volumes, that is, he can get some more taxes from the hands of the wealthy clan. Lu Ren is not stupid, I will sell weapons to you, and then let you use these weapons to beat me? Really when I'm two hundred and fifty?

And by doing so, although Cao Pi can get some more taxes to enrich his wallet, the big head is in the hands of those wealthy families after all. In other words, the strength of the wealthy family can be strengthened, so that the obstruction of Cao Pi will be a little stronger. Cao Pi is like this on his side, and Liu Bei and Sun Quan are not much different.

Next, Lu Ren adjusted the original strategic objectives for Central Asia.

Lu Ren's original plan was to knock down the entire Guishan, and then use the Guishan as a base to attack and rest. I have to say that Lu Ren thought a little simple about this issue at the beginning, no matter how Guishan said it, it was also a big empire in Central Asia, and where did he say that he could fight it? Not to mention that the troops that Lu Ren actually brought over wanted to accomplish this goal, even if Lu Ren brought over were all modern troops, such a large area would have to be launched.

Therefore, Lu Ren actually began to adjust at the strategic level after he arrived in Yangon and learned a lot about the actual situation, but it was not very clear at that time. The incident caused by Cao Pi this time sounded the alarm for Lu Ren, but it also made Lu Ren's adjustment direction at the strategic level clear.

To put it simply, Lu Ren no longer has, at least at this time, no longer has the intention of laying down the entire Guishan, but instead further strengthens the current pattern of north-south differentiation in Guishan. Because Lu Ren's ultimate goal is to rest in peace, or even to be more precise, it should be to solve Wan'er's problem. Just give Wan'er, who is hiding behind the curtain of the royal family......

Okay, there are some things that Lu Ren doesn't want to think about, but in general, as long as the current rest royal family is solved, and then some of the "black technology" that Anxi currently holds is destroyed, so that Wan'er's inexplicable "revenge" plan cannot be implemented, and Lu Ren's current stage will be achieved. As for whether it will come back in the future, then let's talk about it then. Anyway, with the strength that Lu Ren holds at this stage, it is too unrealistic to want to deal with such a vast area. Maybe after ten or twenty years, Lu Ren's strength has reached a certain level to do this kind of thing again.

Clarifying this goal, Lu Ren also made it clear about another thing, that is, what Lu Ren needed was not the entire Guishan, but just a safe passage to the rest side through the Guishan. And Guishan has been put into a north-south division pattern by Lu Ren, and South Guishan is a "pro-Lu" force supported by Lu Ren, and for a long time, it needs all aspects of assistance provided by Lu Ren, so naturally it will not go against Lu Ren.

In other words, the passage that Lu Ren wants to rest in, at least the passage on the sea route, has actually been opened. If you don't feel at ease, you only need to "strengthen and fortify" this passage, and you don't need to go so hard to continue to attack Beiguishuang. Lu Ren even has an idea about this, that is, you should divide the north and south Guishuang like this, just talk about it between you and don't pull me into it, what I need is that channel.

With these clear strategic goals, Lu Ren's strategic adjustment was naturally carried out in an orderly manner. However, because these strategic adjustments are being made, Lu Ren has not carried out any military operations. If there is anything, it is just that Ma Chao is busy grabbing territory, Cao Zhang, who was released back to Malaysia by Lu Ren, took Cao Zhi to fight north according to the predetermined plan, and then Zhou Yu was busy cooperating with the Han Ah San to engage in the so-called "caste counterattack" after returning to Ceylon......

At this time, it was the spring of the thirty-first year of Jian'an, Lu Ren was making his strategic adjustments, and on the Roman side, it had been almost three months since Lu Lan released the Persian beauty to rest.

Because Lu Lan had her own plans, she postponed her departure from Rome and waited here all the time. And the time she agreed with Vanilla was one hundred days, and at this time it was already more than eighty days, and Lu Lan became restless all day because of this, worried that Vanilla would have an accident on the way back, so that her letter could not be delivered to Wan'er.

In the recent period, Lu Lan had hardly left her landing craft for half a step, because she was worried that if Wan'er sent a communication according to the letter, she didn't receive it because she happened to be there. It's just that as the time limit agreed with Vanilla gets closer and closer, Lu Lan's heart is sinking step by step.

Finally on this day, Lu Lan, who couldn't sleep well, finally received a "call reminder", and hurriedly went to the communication room to take a look again, after confirming that this communication was not sent by Lu Ren, Lu Lan's heart was in her throat at that time, and her hands were trembling to connect the communication with anticipation but with twelve points of uneasiness.

The holograms in the cabin are gradually appearing, and Lu Lan's heartbeat is also beating more and more urgently. When Wan'er's hologram fully appeared, Lu Lan's tears were already dazzling:

"Sister Wan'er!!"

Perhaps because her expression was too agitated, Lu Lan forgot that what was in front of her was just a hologram of Wan'er, and she cried and rushed over to hug Wan'er, but naturally fell to the ground in one fell swoop.

Wan'er here was also startled, and subconsciously flashed to the side, but immediately understood. Seeing Lu Lan crying and wiping her tears while getting up, Wan'er only felt that Lu Lan in front of her seemed to be very familiar.

This familiarity is not the kind of familiarity in general. To be exact, of course, Wan'er has collected some posters of Lu Lan here, so she will naturally know Lu Lan. But that can only be regarded as "cognition", but the real familiarity between people is by no means the same, it is a kind of feeling that is difficult to explain, on the level of the heart.

Lu Lan here had already stood up, wiped away her uncontrollable tears, and asked in a choked voice, "Sister Wan'er, you, do you still remember me?" I'm Xiaolan! ”

Wan'er felt a little like that in her heart, and to be honest, she also had the urge to hug Lu Lan into her arms, but she saniently let herself not make any excessive moves. After a slight hesitation, Wan'er shook her head slightly: "Of course I know you Miss Lan." In fact, there are not a few people who know your Lan girl in Huaxia, and there are also many people in the Western Regions. ”

At this time, Lu Lan was no longer a little girl, and she had rich social experience, so she naturally immediately heard the strange atmosphere in Wan'er's tone. After the emotional turmoil just now and the crying, Lu Lan was already mentally prepared for some things, and Lu Lan calmed down a little. After adjusting her state in a timely manner, Lu Lan said to Wan'er: "Sister Wan'er, do you really not remember me?" ”

(I'm sorry, but the Cao Pi Rebellion passed without a fight.) But the idea of the bottle is: go to war. Hehe. ）
