"Oh? Why did Gong Jin come to such a conclusion? ”

Zhou Yu smiled: "First of all, you can guess some by looking at the number of troops of the alliance of the three clans, at least in my opinion, among the three armies of Karasuma, Xianbei, and Fuyu, the strength of Fuyu should not be much more, because Luyizhou, you have only captured Liaodong for more than a year, although there is some deterrence to the Fuyu tribes, but how many Fuyu tribes can be driven out of Liaodong?" The main tribe of Fuyu should still be in the northeast of Liaoning, and it has not hurt its roots, so this time the people and horses dispatched by Fuyu, if nothing else, are mainly those who were driven out of Liaodong by Luyizhou, so where can the number of these horses go? According to my calculations, the rest of the men and horses can have two or three achievements in the tri-clan alliance. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After pausing for a while, refilling the tea for himself and Lu Ren, and taking a few sips unhurriedly, Zhou Yu continued: "On the other hand, Karasuma and Xianbei are not like this. As early as more than ten years ago, Cao Gui expeditioned to Liaoxi, and the Karasuma was greatly injured in a battle, so there were not a few Karasuma tribes who fled from Liaoxi and then moved north, and then a few years later, Luyizhou took advantage of the emptiness of Liaoxi, sent men and horses to seize important places in Liaoxi, and further drove a large number of Karasuma tribes to the northern desert plains. To put it simply, in the desert plain north of Liaozhou, there are more Karasuma tribes, and there are naturally more soldiers and horses that can be dispatched.

"Karakuraz is like this, and the situation of Xianbei and Karasuma is also roughly similar. And the sum of Karasuma and Xianbei's forces must greatly exceed the number of the rest of the Fuyu, and the most important thing is that Karasuma and Xianbei are both intended to be in Liaoxi, but they are not interested in Liaodong for the time being.

"The land of western Liaoxi has always been regarded by Karasuma as its fundamental place, and the original Liucheng and the current Jinzhou are their royal city and the place where they worship the heavens, and now they are in the hands of Lu Yizhou, of course they want to find an opportunity to get it back. The Xianbei tribes are similar to Karasuma, but in comparison, the Xianbei tribes also have an extra goal to compete with Tuoba Yu and Murong Ziying for orthodoxy. So in terms of people's hearts, they will be more inclined to focus on Liaoxi rather than Liaodong. ”

Lu Ren nodded, took a sip of tea, and then motioned for Zhou Yu to continue.

Zhou Yu continued: "This is the aspect of people's hearts, and from the perspective of war......

Lu Ren interjected with a smile at this time: "Liaoxi has been controlled by me for several years, and it may not be called deep-rooted, but it can also be said to be a stable foothold, especially Jinzhou New City After several years of construction, it can be said that the city is strong and difficult to capture, and it is definitely a hard bone for the three clan alliances." On the contrary, it was only a year after I took it from Liaodong, and the new city of Shenyang has just begun to take shape, which is much easier to fight than Jinzhou. ”

Zhou Yu shook his head again and again: "Lu Yizhou deceived me!" Although Shenyang has only just begun to take shape, it is only said that Shenyang does not yet have the scale of a city, but it is enough as a key point. What's more important is that although Luyizhou intends to move the administrative office of Liaodong to Shenyang New Town, Xiangping and Lelang are still in use, and they can reinforce Shenyang at any time.

In addition, from the topography point of view, Shenyang is mainly convenient to block the invading enemy in the north, if there is a weakness, Xiangping can send troops to reinforce, and to the west, there is a pass in Xisai Mountain to block the enemy. Although I don't know the details of the pass of Xisai Mountain, I believe that with the ability of Lu Yizhou, it will be built extremely strong, and it will only be very difficult to open the pass of Xisai Mountain from the western side of Liaoning. Therefore, although the strength of Liaodong is less than that of Liaoxi, in terms of the solidity of the garrison, it is still above Liaoxi. As long as the alliance of the three clans is not stupid, or as long as Karasuma and Xianbei are not stupid, they will not attack the pass in Liaodong. ”

Lu Ren smiled again and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "Of course there is. These northern nomadic tribes mainly fought with light cavalry and cavalry, and it was not their forte to attack the passes, and the main passes on the Liaodong side had been firmly held by Lu Yizhou, and their light cavalry could not enter the flat areas of Liaodong, which made them unable to play to their strengths. On the contrary, it is difficult to establish a pass in the north of the land of western Liaoning, and they can easily enter the flat area of western Liaoning, which is conducive to them to give full play to the advantages of light cavalry and archery, plus they have more than 100,000 horses and horses, and have the advantage of troops, so entering western Liaoning will make their battles easier to fight. ”

After a few sips of tea to moisten his throat, Zhou Yu said again: "Also, they are all rangers and light soldiers, and in terms of military baggage, they will not carry a lot with the army." According to the consistent style of the nomadic tribes, they chose to raise their troops after the autumn, so that after entering Liaoxi, they could plunder the ripe grain in the fields to replenish their army, and the flat land of Liaoxi was also conducive to their nomadic raids. In addition, they want to regain control of Liaoxi, which makes them need to grab a foothold that they can gain a foothold to survive the cold winter after autumn. Lu Yizhou, your Jinzhou New City may be very strong, but if they rush to take it down, wouldn't it also provide them with an excellent foothold? Winter in the north is early, in other words, there is not much time left for them to prepare for winter, and they will urgently need such a city to spend the winter.

"There is one more, Liaoxi has been governed by you in Luyizhou for many years, and compared to the land of Liaodong that has only been captured by Luyizhou for more than a year, Liaoxi is much richer. And Liaodong...... I believe that what is the current situation of farming in Liaodong, Luyizhou is much clearer than you. ”

Lu Ren smiled back again when he heard this. Zhou Yu was right, it was only a little more than a year for Lu Ren to take Liaodong, although it didn't take much time for Lu Ren to take Liaodong at that time, and the scale of the operation was not very large, so it was said that there would be no major damage to the production of Liaodong. But don't forget, Lu Ren's time to start Liaodong is really only a little more than a year, and there has never been any development according to Lu Ren's way before this, in other words, Lu Ren's development of Liaodong has only been more than a year, and the productivity index in all aspects is still relatively backward.

Moreover, before Lu Ren became the master of Liaodong, the infighting between Gongsun Yuan and Gongsun Gong also greatly damaged the already backward development and productivity of Liaodong, where could Lu Ren repair it in just over a year? There won't be any improvement in three or five years, okay?

On the other hand, this is not the case in Liaoxi. Tuoba Yu and Murong Ziying went to Liaoxi after learning enough skills from Lu Ren, so as soon as they arrived in Liaoxi, they were developing Liaoxi according to Lu Ren's development model, and with the full support provided by Lu Ren in all aspects, the development speed of Liaoxi is actually very fast. In the past few years, the situation in western Liaoning is, in modern terms, that in addition to the relatively small population, its economic level has reached a relatively good level. In the eyes of Karasuma and Xianbei, who were driven to the northern desert plains, Liaoxi is so rich that it is flowing oil.

Well, to use a simple analogy, now it's like a gang of robbers preparing to rob, on one side is a rich man driving a BMW and a beautiful woman in his arms, and on the other side is a poor man with a hoe in his hand and a stiff body, so which side do you think the gang of robbers will target?

At this time, Zhou Yu also made a summary: "In my opinion, although the alliance of the three clans is menacing, they are all people who have suffered a big loss at the hands of Lu Yizhou, so they actually have no bottom in their hearts about whether they can win this battle, after all, you Lu Yizhou is not a bully." And these northern nomads have always been greedy for profit, so for them, if they can't win, they can make a lot of money in a relatively wealthy place and then return to the desert plain, at least they can get back some of the capital, so that their winter can be better. ”

A series of analyses made Lu Ren nod again and again. In fact, what Zhou Yu said, Xun Yu and those people have also made a similar analysis, and now it seems that it is slightly the same as what Zhou Yu can also be said to be a hero. In short, Lu Ren was also ready to use western Liaoning as the main battlefield, and the core combat area was set in Jinzhou.

After analyzing the battle situation, Lu Ren inevitably wanted to compliment Zhou Yu a few words, and Zhou Yu also came back politely, and then Lu Ren asked: "Lord Sun is now recruiting troops and horses in Wu County, and it won't be long before he will go to the north to help in the war, but I don't know if Gong Jin wants to go to Liaoxi or Liaodong when he is introduced?" ”

Zhou Yu smiled proudly: "Of course it's Liaoxi." ”

————————————————————

A few moments later, Lu Ren, who had finished his first conversation with Zhou Yu, returned to Fudi, and then lay down in a hammock and was stunned. Suddenly, Shirley came to Lu Ren's side...... Some time ago, Lu Ren sent Shirley over because he wanted to strengthen the intelligence work on Guishuang's side, and Shirley had just come back, and then he heard about the previous things.

"Senior brother, will there be any problems with Zhou Yu running like this?"

Lu Ren looked up at the sky and said thoughtfully: "I don't think there should be any problems." Because of this Zhou Yu...... How so? In fact, no matter who you are, as long as you are still alive in the world, I am afraid that you will keep looking for the value of your existence in this world and the purpose of your life......"

"Huh!?"

Shirley was a little stunned: "What is this?" Even the 'values that exist in the world' and the 'goals of life' have come out! Brother, I feel like you're a bit of a philosopher now! ”

Lu Ren smiled again: "I have experienced so many things before and after, and now that I am at this age, it is normal to think more about messy things and truths...... To be honest, when I'm older, I can't help but think about many things. ”

Changing his breath and pouring wine again, Lu Ren said thoughtfully: "But all people always want to do something, but each has its own goals. And often the more talented people are, the stronger this desire is, and Zhou Yu is undoubtedly this kind of person. It's just that Zhou Yu at this point in Jiangdong probably doesn't have this kind of opportunity to do anything big for him, like Xun Yu has analyzed with me before...... Seriously, I think not only Zhou Yu, but also many other people are actually not much different from Zhou Yu. The only difference is whether there is an opportunity or not, and whether there are corresponding conditions. ”

Shirley pouted and asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Lu Ren said: "Let's put it this way, if I hadn't traveled to this era, then what would I be like if I lived to this age in my original era?" ”

Shirley muttered, "Well...... It's hard to say. But with your original style, brother, unless you can think of something to do, you will linger among the flowers and scourge many beauties, and then I will have to help you cure the disease you contracted from time to time. ”

Lu Ren glared at Shirley, and said in his heart that this girl's tendency to be black is really getting stronger and stronger, and she will mock herself with the original bad things without saying a word. Shaking his head again, Lu Ren laughed at himself again: "Actually, what you said is really right, at that time I was just an ordinary, ordinary grassroots youth, what I pursued and what I could pursue, in the final analysis, to put it bluntly, it was almost the same as having a job, making money, and having a girl's bubble, and it was great to have a car and a house." In this case, even if I have any resentment, I can only think about it in my heart, because there is no opportunity and the corresponding conditions for me to do something related to it. Taking a step back, even if I had an opportunity at that time, most of the time I would have cowered because I would have done great things and regretted my life. Don't despise me, that's how we were in our time. ”

Shirley also smiled: "I didn't understand much before, but now I understand a lot." In fact, in our own time, there are by no means a few people who have a sense of justice, but they will have to suppress the sense of justice in their hearts because of this and that scruples. I remember that at that time, my senior brother was so ordinary that he couldn't be more ordinary, and it was really common for him to dare not do things when he encountered them. ”

Lu Ren also smiled: "What you say sounds a bit harsh, but it is indeed the truth, but what is my situation today?" I don't dare to say more, but now I can be regarded as a hegemon, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, although there is a war now, and there is no less related things to do, but at least I have not let our territory fall into a situation of reckless militarism, do you say that I have done a successful thing? ”

Shirley giggled, "Well, it's a good job, and it's commendable." ”

Lu Ren "cut" to express his disdain, and then pretended to be a philosopher again: "Recently, when I calmed down, I thought very carefully about why I am the way I am now. For example, I am now insisting on intervening in foreign wars, and I have done so many things before and after, is it really because of the resentment in my heart? In the end, I came up with the answer whether the reason why I would be so persistent in doing it was because I had the corresponding conditions and enough family background today! If it weren't for these, I think at this moment, I would still honestly hide in Yizhou and live a comfortable life in a corner of my own place. If I didn't have these conditions and these family backgrounds, then I wouldn't want to do the big thing of sending troops to the north, but I would not be able to do it because of the conditions......"

Shirley nodded in agreement: "Indeed." To be honest, what I appreciate most about you, Senior Brother, after I am sensible, is that you are not the kind of person who will easily get hot-headed. In other words, you are also a person who plans and then acts...... Belch! Where are we all here? It seems that what you want to say should be why you are so relieved Zhou Yu! ”

Lu Ren said with a smile: "Compare your heart to your heart, and compare things with things." A grassroots person like me who has no skills, and after having the corresponding conditions and family background, he dares to do great things, so do people like Zhou Yu need to say more? Zhou Yu's ability to rank in the top ten in the Three Kingdoms, and he is a proud and ambitious person, so he wants to make a big deal and leave a name in history stronger than anyone else, but today's situation...... Whether it was Sun Quan's exclusion of him or Sun Wu's external influence environment, Zhou Yu lost the conditions and capital to be able to do something big.

"Zhou Yu is a smart person and has a very outstanding view of the overall situation, and his 'plan for half of the world' is very illustrative of this. Therefore, Zhou Yu knows better than anyone what he wants to do under Sun Wu's command, but he is afraid that it is impossible in this life. If it weren't for the accident in the north, and then I would take the lead, then Zhou Yu would probably die in Jiangdong, but now Sun Shangxiang is making such a fuss in Jianye, but Zhou Yu sees the hope of making a name for himself.

"Further, under the premise that Jiangdong is by no means suitable for war with us at this time, I don't think Zhou Yu will be stupid enough to make such a mistake. If I move, there is no benefit to Jiangdong, on the contrary, if Zhou Yu helps me well, it will help Jiangdong and our Yizhou continue to maintain a good relationship, and it will also allow Jiangdong to reap a lot of benefits. Second, Zhou Yu also wants to help the children of Jiangdong earn their faces back. After all, in many cases, face is more important than profit. ”

Shirley nodded and asked, "What is Zhou Yu doing now?" ”

Lu Ren pouted: "What is he doing?" This American wolf is a clever man, and he knew that we would be suspicious of him before I sent someone to find him in Wu County. In order to avoid suspicion, Sun Shangxiang and Chen Yiyi were in charge of the recruitment and preliminary training of troops and horses in Wu County, and he himself came to Yizhou to meet with me, and today's meeting also talked with me about military judgment. However, it is precisely because he is a smart man, and it will take some time for Sun Shangxiang to recruit soldiers and horses, so he will not be in a hurry to talk to me completely. Speaking of which, this is also a contest between him and me, let's have a little patience with each other. Whoever can't bear to open his mouth first loses...... Although this small competition is actually meaningless, sometimes it is necessary to earn a profit. ”

Shirley shook her head: "I still don't understand the face problem between you men. By the way, the preliminary completion of Guishuang's intelligence network, do you have anything to ask, senior brother? ”

Lu Ren nodded, and asked a few related questions, but in the middle of the conversation, Diao Chan came back, she was sent by Lu Ren to receive Xiao Qiao today, and she didn't come back until this time.

Diao Chan and Xiao Qiao have nothing to say about shopping with their children, it's just to buy something here and there, and just roughly tell Lu Ren about it. However, Diao Chan later added: "By the way, Yihao, Xiao Qiao went to see our Yizhou College today, and then expressed his hope that the two sons and one daughter of their husband and wife could stay in Yizhou for further study." ”

"What!?"
