Chapter 48 Playing against Zhou Lang

"Lu Servant, in fact, I have always been unable to understand, you were not yet thirty years old, but you were already an important minister of Jiuqing in Xudu, and you were also quite respected by the Son of Heaven and Cao Gong. You already have such a career at such a young age, why do you insist on abandoning your official position? ”

Lu Ren was worried that Zhou Yu would ask some sensitive questions that were difficult for him to answer, but he didn't expect Zhou Yu to ask such a question, which suddenly made Lu Ren's heart feel that he was ready to hit the wall, but after hitting it, he found that the wall was just a layer of paper wall.

Shaking his head helplessly, he answered as soon as he opened his mouth, after all, Lu Ren has encountered this kind of question too many times, and almost everyone will ask this kind of question when he meets him: "I had no intention of being an official, and I would have thrown myself under Lao Cao's curtain at the beginning, but in fact, it was just a helpless move under the coincidence of chance, and it was forced by the situation." I'm a heartless person with a thick skin, so I'm not afraid that Gongjin will laugh at me, anyway, if I don't surrender to Lao Cao at that time, my little life will be over.

"And because I had no intention of being an official, even after I became an official, I just regarded it as a job to seek a living, and I didn't expect that I would be in such a high position. If you just do that, but if you stay in that position for a long time, you will find that you will become more and more involuntarily. No matter how big the official is, what can he do? If you can't even keep the woman you love, or even die because of yourself, then it's okay if this official is not right. ”

Lu Ren said all the truth, and it was the truth from the heart, of course Zhou Yu couldn't find any flaws. And Zhou Yu hesitated slightly, and said tentatively: "Actually, I have also heard some rumors about Lu Servant shooting you, Cao Gong does have many failures to Lu Servant, and it is reasonable that Lu Servant Shooting is unwilling to be an official under Cao Gong's curtain anymore." It's just that with the talent of land servants, wouldn't it be ...... to bury it like this?"

Lu Ren interrupted Zhou Yu's words: "Gong Jin, are you trying to persuade me to work for Lord Wu?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "Why not? Although my lord is still young......"

By the way, Sun Quan was only twenty-six years old in the thirteenth year of Jian'an in the Battle of Chibi. And now it is the eighth year of Jian'an, and Sun Quan is just in his early twenties.

Looking at Lu Ren again, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and I hope Gongjin won't embarrass me." I didn't want to say anything in advance, but here I just said that I was actually very afraid of the Sun family in my heart. A few years ago, Sun Bofu attacked Xuzhou, and he was inexplicably planted in my hands, and I was injured by my own hands......"

This time, Zhou Yu interrupted Lu Ren's words: "Lu Servant doesn't have to worry about this matter. At that time, Lu Fu shot as the assassin of Xuzhou, and he did his best as the lord, Bo Fu never blamed you, but because of this, he especially admired you. Let's put it this way, does Lu Servant know Taishi Ziyi (Tai Shi Ci)? You don't know how dangerous the battle between Taishi Ziyi and Bo Fu was. At that time, as long as the slightest negligence was there, he would lose Ziyi's hand, but after that, Bo Fu still accepted Ziyi, and the matter was also rumored to be a beautiful talk. ”

Lu Renxin said that it was Sun Ce, but it is Sun Quan who is in power now, okay? In Lu Ren's opinion, Tai Shici is not a wealthy family in Jiangdong, and he is a simple martial artist, of course, there is nothing to watch out for, but what about Lu Ren himself? Although Lu Ren's true identity is nonsense, the current Lu Ren represents the Lu family in the Jiangdong Hao clan to a large extent. belongs to Sun Quan's key prevention objects, and Sun Quan has done some things to settle accounts after the autumn, even if Lu Ren wants to be an official again, he doesn't dare to throw himself into the fire pit.

Of course, you can't say that on the surface. Therefore, Lu Ren just smiled and said: "Gongjin still don't talk about it, I think that in the early years, my Jiangdong Lu clan had a feud with the Sun family because of Lu Kang's incident, and then I accidentally added a sum of money here, can I not worry?" The right is that I am living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Anyway, I, Lu Ren, never think of myself as a gentleman, and being a villain is comfortable for me. At least I, as a villain, hide far away and have a solid heart, and I can sleep soundly. And since Wu Zhuzhongmou is a magnanimous gentleman. I don't think I can't afford a villain like me. ”

Lu Ren is also a small anti-general Zhou Yu's army, and Zhou Yu is a handsome, famous general and highly intelligent person, but when it comes to the ability to argue, it is not very good, and he was actually made a little troubled by Lu Ren's general for a while, and he didn't know how to respond. At that moment, he sighed and shook his head and smiled, and Zhou Yu didn't say anything more. In fact, there are some things that are enough to know in your heart.

Because neither side wants to continue the stalemate on this kind of issue, they are ready to pull away from the topic. In contrast, there were a lot of things that Zhou Yu wanted to ask, so Zhou Yu took a step ahead of Lu Ren and said, "Lu Yu has been in Jingxiang for several months, but he doesn't know ......."

Lu Ren hurriedly responded: "Don't ask me about Jingxiang Gongjin, now I am just a businessman, and I won't touch those taboo things." I think my current little life can be regarded as a leisurely life, eating well and sleeping soundly, and having a stunning beauty by my side, but I don't want to eat enough to compensate myself. If you want to ask me about Jingxiang, it is better to ask you about the details sent to Jingxiang to find out the news in secret, they may know more than me, and they are more useful than I know. ”

Zhou Yu shook his head. Lu Ren's words are actually half-truths and half-truths, but Zhou Yu also knows that he can't be entangled with Lu Ren on such a sensitive issue. After thinking about it again, Zhou Yu said again: "Okay, Yu won't be embarrassed by Lu Servant." However, the matter of Xu Du Cao Gong, can Lu Servant shoot a little bit about it? ”

Zhou Yu didn't embarrass Lu Ren on sensitive issues, and Lu Ren also knew that he should properly spill some water to Zhou Yu, but in comparison, Cao Cao's situation didn't matter a little, so Lu Ren nodded and said, "This is no problem." But Gongjin, you have to know that it has been nearly three years since I left Xudu, and no one can say how much change there will be in these three years. ”

Zhou Yu hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, knowing a little is a little, not to mention that Lu Servant was an important minister of the court at that time, and he was deeply valued by Cao Gong, so he naturally knew many details that could not be explored." Yu was able to learn something about it today, and it definitely benefited a lot. ”

Lu Ren was also not polite, so he mentioned some inside information in Cao Ying to Zhou Yu. Anyway, the things I know, one is that three years have passed, and they have all become different things; Second, Lu Ren has never been involved in the military aspect, and what he can say is only some production, labor and economic things in Cao's camp, I believe that it will not have any useful impact on Cao Cao, at most it is just to let Zhou Yu know a little more about Cao Cao's situation. On the other hand, Lu Ren also believed that Zhou Yu was just borrowing himself to reflect some of Zhou Yu's own ideas.

After talking about it a little, Zhou Yu suddenly asked: "I came to report that Cao Gong was preparing troops and horses in Xudu, and it seems that he has the intention of going south to Jingxiang, I don't know what Lu Servant thinks of it?" ”

Lu Ren didn't think much about it, so he shook his head and said, "Fake." ”

Zhou Yuqi said: "How can you see it? ”

Lu Ren explained: "This is a military matter, and I don't know much about it. However, my former friend Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao are a good person, and when I was drinking and chatting with him, he once said that if the Yuan clan in Hebei Province is not completely eradicated, then if Lao Cao wants to use troops elsewhere, there will always be a stalk in his throat, and he will even be restrained everywhere. And ......"

Speaking of this, Lu Ren lowered his head and frowned: "I once caught Yuan Shang at the beginning, but it was Lao Guo who let Yuan Shang go behind my back." The Yuan family has a great cause and a very strong foundation, and if they attack according to the general method, Lao Cao will at least kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 of himself, which is unwise. Therefore, allowing Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang to fight among themselves can give Lao Cao an opportunity to take advantage of...... These are what Lao Guo told me when he fell out with me. Judging from this matter again, Lao Cao is now saying that he wants to go south to Jingxiang is making a false shot, the purpose is to lure Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, two brothers who are not angry, to fight. ”

Zhou Yu sighed and nodded clearly.

And Lu Ren added at this time: "But Lao Cao's use of soldiers has always been false and real, if there is a chance, with his temper, he will never mind turning the fake into true." And it was because I was worried about this kind of thing, so after I heard a little news, I quickly hid in Chaisang. Although judging from the current situation in Jingxiang, it is not much possible for Lao Cao to take down Jingxiang, but the fire at the city gate affected the pond fish, and I am a poor fish, of course, it is better to avoid it first if there is a little movement. ”

Zhou Yu also smiled at Lu Ren's joke, and after muttering for a while, Zhou Yu suddenly said, "Now that the matter is over, I don't want to hide it from Lu Servant. In fact, I, Jiangdong, also plan to use troops against Jiangxia, so what do you think of Lu Servant? ”

Lu Ren's heart trembled, and he said in his heart, Zhou Yu, do you really dare to say it? Your sister is leaking military secrets, okay? But since Zhou Yu said it, Lu Ren simply accepted it...... To be precise, from Lu Ren's standpoint, he is very reluctant to see Jiangdong and Jing Xiang fight at this time, because if the fight starts, Lu Ren's running boat business will definitely be greatly affected, and a large part of the materials needed in Yizhou Town still have to rely on the transaction with Jing Xiang at the moment, and this battle is of course the best if it can not be fought.

So after a little hesitation, Lu Ren sighed and said, "It's useless to fight, so what's the point?" Is it expensive to spend money? ”

Zhou Yu was stunned: "Why did Lu Servant say this?" ”

Lu Ren has information, and when it comes to the reason, of course, he has confidence in his heart: "Gong Jin is a good general, and he should know better than me what it means to know the other and be invincible." And as far as I know, the current situation in Jingxiang does not look very good, but is the situation in your Jiangdong really as stable as Mount Tai? For example, the various ethnic groups and tribes of Shanyue, Gongjin, do you dare to say that it is really subdued? When your Jiangdong army sends troops to Jiangxia, they won't make brazen troubles in various parts of Jiangdong? ”

"Hiss ......" (To be continued.) )
