Volume 3 Chapter 5 Ulterior motives

Lu Ren told Lu Xun that in the past two years, he has rarely taken care of politics in person, which is not a lie, but don't think that Lu Ren is doing something to be the shopkeeper. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn fact, what Lu Ren means is that he is rarely involved in detailed and specific work now, but mainly carries out the overall arrangement and arrangement, and it is not easy to get really busy. To put it bluntly, the former Lu Ren was like a tactical commander on the front line of the battlefield, and now Lu Ren is the strategic commander in the headquarters...... Lu Ren didn't want to be like Zhuge Liang in the Shu Han Dynasty, "everything is too big and small, and the salt is determined by the brightness", and besides, the next batch of people who came out of the academy had already taken up their posts, and they had to let these people get the opportunity to work and exercise.

Some people may say that the people who came out of the academy took up the post? Isn't Lu Ren's exam taking materials in progress? I have to make it clear here. In fact, people like Lu Ren, Shirley, and Mi Zhen are pioneers who belong to the first stage, and now they are all at the top of the Lu Ren Group; Lu Ren set up a college in Yizhou, and then the people who came out of the college and took up posts belong to the second stage, and now they are mainly middle-level personnel. The current situation is that all areas of the Luren Group are developing, and a large number of middle-level and grass-roots personnel are needed to replenish the blood, which is now to be selected through the examination.

Don't talk about these, just say that after Lu Ren arranged Lu Xun and Sun Shangxiang, he was reading in the study in a spare time, but Liu Ye suddenly appeared. Speaking of Yizhou, so far, the main cities are only Keelung and Mangjia, but after Lu Ren's situation in Yizhou reached a certain level, he took Mangjia as the center and encouraged the people to go to various places in Yizhou to bloom more and build villages and towns, so some time ago, Liu Ye went to those villages and towns on behalf of Lu Ren to inspect and enter the register, and he just came back for less than two days.

And after meeting with Lu Ren at this moment, and reporting the Dongdong that should be reported to Lu Ren, Liu Ye asked Lu Ren: "General, do you plan to send Lu Boyan and Sun County Lord to Wadao?" ”

Liu Ye frowned slightly: "General, I have no opinion on you sending Lu Boyan to Wadao, but sending Lord Sun to Wadao as well, is this a bit lacking in consideration?" ”

Lu Ren put down the book in his hand and smiled at Liu Ye: "Ziyang, what do you want to say?" ”

Liu Ye said: "The general is an understanding person, he should understand what I am referring to, why should the general ask me?" And I ask this question to know what the general thinks in his heart, otherwise I think that with the shrewdness of the general, he would not have made such a decision. ”

Lu Ren smiled: "Yes, Lord Sun's identity is special, according to common sense, I should put her in prison." But if that's the case, wouldn't it be interesting? ”

Liu Ye coughed hard twice, which was a warning to Lu Ren not to go too far.

Lu Ren smiled again and asked rhetorically, "Ziyang, you are clear about my intentions for Wadao, right?" ”

Liu Ye nodded at this time: "Yes, this matter is clear." Although I was a little unimpressed by this at first, Ling Yuan had brought back a lot of things from Wajima in the past few years, and the benefits for us were still good, so I agreed with the general's plan to send troops to Yamatai. ”

Although the resources of Wajima are barren, they mainly refer to many strategic resources in later generations, and some seafood, agricultural products, and mountain specialties on the Wajima side of Wajima are still of good value to Lu Ren.

Moreover, Lu Ren's main focus is on the silver mines in the area of Mt. Rimi near Yamatai, and the silver production of Wajima Island was relatively famous during the Age of Discovery, Lu Ren could not let it go, and even Ling Yuan was already making initial preparations, and a certain amount of white lead had been mined, and after it was delivered to Yizhou, it became a silver coin circulating in the market. It is precisely because of this that Liu Ye, a relatively traditional scholar, will also have an attitude of approval of Lu Ren's intentions.

Of course, Lu Ren's intentions for Wajima also have his own personal factors, after all, Lu Ren was also a guy with an angry plot, and he always wanted to do something to Wajima. It's just that it used to be purely a fantasy of angry youth, but now he has the ability to do something, and he will naturally start when he has the opportunity.

At this time, Liu Ye was puzzled by Lu Ren's intention to send Sun Shangxiang to Wadao, and Lu Ren knew that he had to explain his intentions to Liu Ye, so after determining Liu Ye's attitude towards Wadao, Lu Ren began to explain: "Ziyang, how are our current troops?" ”

Liu Ye groaned: "There is more than enough self-preservation, but there is not enough spare strength. If the general is out of the army, I am afraid that he can only dispatch 5,000 people at most. ”

Lu Ren said: "What is 5,000 people enough? Fight a city or occupy a county? If they encounter lords like Lao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan, they will mobilize troops to counterattack, but they are afraid that these 5,000 people will not be enough for them to plug their teeth. And as I intended, these 5,000 men were the mobile troops I had on hand. Our battle line is long, and it is not good to leave some money on hand. ”

Liu Ye said: "Then the general is planning to send troops to Wadao?" ”

Lu Ren said: "I don't plan to use many troops, and I don't need to use too many troops with the military strength of Wajima, but if the troops are really too small, it is a bit unreasonable." So I deliberately sent out Lord Sun, and another purpose was to drag Sun Quan into the water. ”

Liu Ye was stunned: "What does the general mean, does he want Lord Sun to come forward to borrow troops from Sun Quan?" ”

Lu Ren nodded: "Well, that's what it means." It doesn't take much, one two or three thousand is enough. If Sun Quan borrows 3,000, I will also dispatch 3,000, so that with the support of Ling Yuan's fleet and Zhang Xiu's father and son on Jeju Island, there are more than 10,000 men and horses, and it will not be difficult to sweep away those backward tribes on the current island. ”

Liu Ye said: "General, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate, right?" Regardless of whether Sun Quan will borrow troops or not, what if Sun Quan is detained by Sun Quan after returning to Wu? ”

Lu Ren said: "How could I not consider this kind of thing? But I personally think that the current Sun Quan wants to plot Jingzhou and kill Liu Bei in the west, but in the north, he has to beware of Lao Cao going south from Hefei to take revenge, and the previous naval battle was scared by us again, so if it is not necessary, he will definitely not think about turning his face with us, so Sun Quan should be thinking more about how to maintain friendly relations with us. On the other hand, if I let Lord Sun go back to Wu to borrow troops so easily, wouldn't I be showing our trust and friendship to Sun Quan? Sun Quan is not a stupid person, on the contrary, he is a hero who can be compared with Lao Cao and Liu Bei, so I don't think he will be so confused. ”

Saying that, Lu Ren smiled again, and then added: "On the other hand, if we send troops to the island, it won't take a few days for this news to reach Sun Quan's ears." Although we didn't use a lot of troops, who would dare to guarantee that Sun Quan, this kid, would have no other thoughts after hearing this? And I'm going to drag him into the water now......"

Saying that, Lu Ren smiled very sinisterly, and Liu Ye could only smile helplessly when he saw it, and then shook his head. In a sense, Lu Ren is simply playing hooligan, "kidnapping" thousands of Sun Quan's people to Wadao, where do you let Sun Quan do you to Lu Ren again? If they were all stabbed in this case, it would be strange if Sun Quan was not sprayed to death by the Jiangdong people!

However, after laughing, Lu Ren also said with a straight face: "And the worst thing is nothing more than two results, one is that Sun Quan refuses to borrow troops, and the other is nothing more than Sun Quan detaining Sun County Lord in Jiangdong." In the case of the former, I will send fewer troops, just go to 1,2000, it is nothing more than a longer time on the Wajima Island; But if it's the latter, I'll give up right away...... At least for the time being, I will abandon my intention to take Wajima, and the other thing I will do is to reorganize my armaments in various places. ”

After hearing this, Liu Ye finally nodded approvingly. Lu Ren is not good at leading troops to fight, Liu Ye is very clear, but Lu Ren is as meticulous and comprehensive as possible in the arrangement of many things, basically the things that should be considered, Lu Ren will take into account as much as possible, which Liu Ye appreciates. And this time the matter of sending Sun Shangxiang to Wadao seems to be a bit casual, but in fact, Lu Ren seems to think of many more things than Liu Ye thinks.

In fact, Lu Ren still had some words that he didn't say to Liu Ye, that is, there was a corresponding reason for sending Lu Xun out. On the one hand, Lu Xun's abilities in all aspects still need to be cultivated and improved, on the other hand, Lu Xun was originally Wu Chen, and the relationship with Sun Shangxiang is good, such a combination of generals and commanders will not have any problems at least in the relationship between generals and commanders, and at the same time, if Sun Quan borrows soldiers, Lu Xun's identity as a child of Jiangdong is also conducive to the communication between Lu Xun and Wu Bing. But if Gan Ning or Huang Zhong are transferred, I'm afraid that the internal relationship will have to be resolved before the war, and God knows how much it will be fried.

In the end, Lu Ren added a few words to Liu Ye: "Of course, just borrowing troops from Sun Quan like this, we can't say anything about face, so we have to give Sun Quan some benefits, and on the other hand, we have to give Sun Quan a suitable step." So I asked Sun County Lord to tell Sun Quan that these thousands of people were transferred by Sun Quan to Sun County Lord to protect Sun County Lord's safety; Second, after this battle, we will definitely bring a lot of white lead back from Wajima, so we might as well be generous and give half to Sun Quan. ”

Liu Ye raised his brows when he heard this, because although the white lead that Ling Yuan got back before was not much, it was really a lot of it, and after refining it into silver, Lu Ren's treasury earned a lot. And this time, the troops were sent over, so how much silver would come out at that time......

"General, wouldn't this make Sun Quan pick up a big bargain!?"

Lu Ren smiled, folded a piece of white paper in his hand into a paper airplane and flew out, and replied casually: "What are you afraid of?" If we want the horses to run, we have to give them some grass. Besides, when Sun Quan turns these white lead into silver, let's just go back and earn it back? (To be continued.) )
