How did the fight get up on the Yangon side? Sun Shangxiang couldn't answer this question. In fact, not only Sun Shangxiang couldn't answer, but the people in Lu Ren's fleet couldn't answer, and even Lu Ren himself, when he received the news that there was a fight on Yangon's side and learned the reason, he felt a little inexplicable and couldn't cry or laugh, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be reasonable.

Here's the thing, it's actually been some years since Yangon fell into the hands of Lu Ren. The political aspects of this can be put aside, as Yangon was mainly used as a trading post after falling into the hands of Lu Ren. With Yangon as the dividing point, many Persian and Roman goods to the west and Chinese goods to the east are concentrated here.

Not to mention, many of the Chinese goods imported from Guishan were completed in Yangon, so at the beginning, Guishan was reluctant to move Yangon because of the import of Chinese goods. In their opinion, it is not difficult to take Yangon by force, but Yangon is Lu Ren's territory, and if you hit Lu Ren's territory, won't you have a bad relationship with Lu Ren? Not to mention that the two sides would fight each other because of this, Lu Ren could completely abandon this trading post and open another trading post outside of the area within the reach of Guishan's tentacles.

In this way, it is no longer so convenient for Guishan to import the required Huaxia goods, and once he has a bad relationship with Lu Ren, Lu Ren can also retaliate by raising tariffs, and even limit the quota of goods on Guishan. After calculating these factors, Guishan feels that it is not cost-effective. Anyway, Yangon wasn't originally the land of Guishan, so why bother to cause all this trouble?

As a result, this is how the initial situation came over, and the two sides could have been said to be at peace. But with the gradual development of Yangon, some people in the Kushan side began to blush.

First of all, Yangon's tax revenue has made many people dizzy. Let's put it this way, Yangon now falls squarely under the category of a commercial town, and as a larger meeting point for Eastern and Western goods, the profits from trade and the corresponding taxes generated by all sides were staggering at the time. In addition, after the development of commerce and trade, the various industries that have sprung up have been brought together, and the amount of tax revenue that can be obtained each year is ...... Huh!

This tax collection naturally fell into Lu Ren's pocket. But to be honest, Lu Ren really didn't take much, about eighty percent of it was still used for the development of Yangon and the maintenance of the Sichuan-Burma corridor, and the other two percent would be sent to Lu Ren. But because of this, Yangon's development has been financed accordingly, and the town has become more and more prosperous.

Prosperity means that Curry has money, and the relatively prosperous Yangon has become a piece of fat that some people in Kushuang are under their noses, and they don't want to swallow it in their stomachs? When it comes to a certain part, there will naturally be people who can't hold it back.

In addition, the prosperity of Yangon and the way Lu Yan governed inevitably attracted a large number of middle- and lower-class poor people in the Kushan area. You must know that although the Kushan of this period cannot be said to be completely slavery, at least it retains a strong slave component, and the life of the middle and lower class commoners is quite difficult. Now that there is a Lu Ren, and Lu Ren's set of policies that are very generous to the middle and lower class poor, the middle and lower class poor people who had a bad time in Guishan will naturally want to go to Yangon to mix.

As a result, there are quite a few middle- and lower-class poor people in the vicinity of Yangon. In that era, there was no need to say much about what the loss of population meant, and those nobles of Guishan also felt that their interests had been damaged by Lu Ren. In addition, they coveted Rangoon's abundant tax revenues, so they clamored to take Rangoon on the grounds that the people of Kushan could not be allowed to become infidel slaves...... Well, they roared slaves. Anyway, in their eyes, a slave is not called a slave under his own ownership, but under the ownership of others, he has become someone else's slave. In addition, in that era, many national or national wars were also carried out under the banner of religious wars.

As a result, the Yangon side initially caused a dispute because of a little bit of deliberate planning by some people, and it should be said that it was a relatively small religious incident. Note that this is still just a dispute, in other words, it is only within the scope of quarrels. At that time, Lu Ren was still in the Central Plains and did not return to Yizhou, and although Lu Ren was ready to make a move on Guishan, because many preparations had not been completed, he didn't want to get into trouble with Guishan too early, so before Lu Ren went to Hanzhong, he gave instructions to the person in charge of Yangon not to act rashly, and let go of the places that could be made first, and then settle accounts with them when Lu Ren returned to Yizhou.

The person in charge of Yangon was Lu Ren's descendant Chen Li, a child who came out of the childcare house in Xuchang, and of course Lu Ren's orders were strictly enforced. Therefore, when the dispute broke out, Chen Li chose to take a temporary concession according to Lu Ren's instructions, and did not make the matter big at this time, and the matter was calmed down at that time.

Chen Li's approach was not wrong, but the people on the Guishan side made this dispute, which was actually a test on Yangon, and after getting such a result, the people on the Guishan side thought that the Han people here in Yangon were weak and incompetent to bully, so they made the latter few disputes soon after, and the scale began to gradually grow.

In the first few times, Chen Li, according to Lu Ren's instructions, could cope with the past by apologizing or something. But not long ago, the nobles of Kushan provoked a relatively big incident, and then openly gathered a small army and ran to Rangoon to do something, arrogantly clamoring for Rangoon to hand over a large amount of goods and slaves to them.

Lu Ren's instructions to Chen Li were to let him go, but it was not without principles and bottom lines, this time the incident touched the principles and bottom lines set by Lu Ren, so Chen Li unceremoniously mobilized troops and wiped out the Guishan troops who came to do things.

By the way, at this time, the coalition army of the Southern Central Tribe, which was convened by Xun You and Shui Ling, had arrived in Yangon, but it was not stationed in Yangon for the needs of some aspects, so it was actually very convenient for Chen Li to mobilize people.

But in any case, Kushan and Yangon are in a battle. Then in terms of politics, the kind of thing that refers to the deer as a horse and blackens the other party is not unique to Huaxia, and the nobles of Guishan are also very slippery, and then things start to get bigger and bigger.

Chen Li saw that the situation was already outside his authority, and the battle seemed to have a big possibility of fighting, so he hurriedly sent an urgent telegram to Lu Ren. At this time, Lu Ren had already returned to Yizhou, and was thinking about how to make a move to Guishuang, after getting such news, Lu Ren was inexplicably crying and laughing, but he smiled sinisterly. I'm thinking about how to do it here, but you sent an excuse to come?

In fact, Lu Ren didn't need to deliberately find any excuses, because Emperor Liu Xie had already issued an edict not long ago to levy Guishan who invaded the border of the Han Dynasty, which means that Lu Ren was acting on orders, and the Han Dynasty could be regarded as officially declaring war on Guishan. But to tell the truth here, the appeal of the edict of Emperor Liu Xie at this time ...... It's okay not to say it.

And for Guishuang's side, the edict of Emperor Liu Xie...... Well, it should be said that the declaration of war could not be delivered to them, so in the eyes of Guishan's personnel, the Han side was completely undeclared war. Although this kind of thing is a bit of a formality, Lu Ren thinks that if there is no reasonable excuse, it will be inconvenient to fight this battle at the political level, and it will also easily trigger an all-out resistance from Guishan, because this will not turn into aggression himself?

Well, this can only show that Lu Ren still has some pedantic things in his mind in some aspects. In fact, in that era, aggression is aggression, expansion is expansion, how can there be so many, and how can there be so many twists and turns? However, from another aspect, it was Guishan who deceived people too much, and it was in the nature of revenge to do it again, so it was easier to explain to the people under his command. is still the same sentence, the edict is returned to the edict, but the influence of Emperor Liu Xie on Lu Ren here is not to be said. This can only be said to be a sadness, but it is also an inevitability.

No longer talking nonsense, after receiving the news and making an analysis, Lu Ren immediately telegraphed back and ordered Chen Li to carry out a comprehensive defense in Yangon, and the tribal alliance army transferred from the southern and central sides was also handed over to Chen Li's temporary command. Considering that Chen Li's military capabilities were relatively limited, Lu Ren's instructions were to defend Yangon with all his might, and Lu Ren would order the vanguard troops stationed in Malacca to rush to support...... The commander of the vanguard fleet was Gan Ning, and when Gan Ning arrived at the place, he would take over the command of Chen Li's army.

Then there was the follow-up fleet behind, and Lu Ren also ordered them to start moving at full speed, and some things that were scheduled to be done on the road should not be done again. Now that the fight has begun, don't engage in those things anymore.

It is impossible for these details to be passed on to everyone, so the news that Sun Shangxiang got here is just that. Because the news was incomplete, Zhou Yu couldn't understand what was happening in Yangon, only that the leisurely and quiet days here in Brunei were coming to an end. And thinking that such a day is coming to an end, Zhou Yu's heart actually rose a little reluctant. But soon Zhou Yu adjusted his mentality, after all, he was one of the best generals in the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty.

"Shang Xiang, in that case, are you still hanging out here so leisurely? We, the children of Jiangdong, went out with the fleet of Lu Zhengnan, and we had to prepare the things that should be prepared. ”

Sun Shangxiang waved his hand: "We don't need to worry about this." Because of the suddenness of the incident, the follow-up materials from Yizhou could not be delivered at once...... Oh yes, I heard that Cao Zhang also received the edict of the Son of Heaven to follow Lu Zhengnan to conquer Guishan, and now he is recruiting troops and horses in Wei State, and Lu Zhengnan originally couldn't send the supplies to the expeditionary fleet at once, just because he temporarily mobilized a batch for Cao Zhang. ”

Zhou Yu was stunned again: "Cao Zhang? Cao Ziwen? Among Lao Cao's sons, this Cao Ziwen has the most military exploits, and I didn't expect that even he was pulled over by Lu Zhengnan to this day......"

Zhou Yu and Sun Shangxiang had also fought side by side with Cao Zhang in Juyong Pass earlier, so Zhou Yu's image of Cao Zhang was very profound. As for why Cao Zhang led a "righteous army" of several thousand people to participate in the war at that time, Zhou Yu's ingenuity can certainly be understood. It's just that even so, Zhou Yu had to sigh at Lu Ren's ability to play tricks in some aspects. And in a sense, he and Sun Shangxiang are now here in Brunei, isn't it also the result of Lu Ren's tricks?

It's just that compared to Sun Shangxiang, who doesn't have much city government in his chest, Zhou Yu has a little bit of the smell of deliberately "throwing himself into the net". And at this moment, what Zhou Yu was thinking was: "It seems that most of the thoughts in my heart can't be hidden from Lu Ren...... Forget it, so far, how to make as much money as possible for me Jiangdong to go back is the right reason. ”

After thinking about this, Zhou Yu asked: "The follow-up materials in Yizhou can't keep up, so what about the fleet here in Brunei?" If you don't bring enough money and food to spend, how can you get out of this sea? ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "So we don't have to worry about anything. According to the order sent by Lu Zhengnan, Old Man Huang will go to Brunei to get it. And this kind of thing is not something that we outsiders can interject, what are we going to do to join in the fun? ”

Zhou Yu's heart sank again. Staying in Brunei during this time, he can be regarded as figuring out the productivity here in Brunei. Brunei is not an industrial development area in Luren, so it follows the agricultural development route, and because of the good development, the grain production is very high, and some improved rice can even be harvested three times a year. Therefore, the grain in the granary here in Brunei is a little moldy...... Although this is somewhat exaggerated.

And the reason why Zhou Yu's heart sank was that Lu Ren had such a reserve granary, which meant that Lu Ren had considerable potential that had not yet been used. If Sun Quan insists on getting started with Lu Ren...... Well, Zhou Yu was a little afraid to think about it.

"Brother Zhong, what are you thinking?"

Sun Shangxiang's question brought Zhou Yu back to his senses,
