The night was dark, and most of the people had fallen asleep, but Zhou Yu, who had drunk some wine with Lu Ren and took a nap, had just woken up, and then looked at the sky from the porthole.

Don't think that what Zhou Yu said to Lu Ren before was a drunken gaffe, Zhou Yu is definitely not such a confused person. Or it should be said that there are some things that Zhou Yu is really inconvenient to say under normal circumstances, so he has to use a little reason to say it. To put it bluntly, Zhou Yu has a little bit of "borrowing wine to pretend to be crazy".

Recalling a few hours ago, when he was in a half-drunk state, Lu Ren called Sun Shangxiang to send him back, Zhou Yu couldn't help but shake his head and sighed lightly, saying in his heart that Lu Ren is Lu Ren in the end, and he will not be moved by his own words so easily.

But then again, if you find an opportunity to do something, you have to try to do it, and if you try to do it, then you may still have a chance, but if you don't even try, you really don't have a chance at all. Zhou Yu was like this before, he wanted to try to pass on some ideas to Lu Ren, although Zhou Yu had long been mentally prepared that Lu Ren would not react to this, but what if Lu Ren was moved by his own words, or aroused some of Lu Ren's thoughts?

After sighing softly at the porthole, Zhou Yu returned to the table and sat down, took a pen and paper and began to write to Sun Quan, telling Sun Quan some things about himself and Sun Shangxiang in Central Asia. What is important in this letter is the reason why Zhou Yu wants to persuade Lu Ren to play hegemony in Central Asia.

Why did Zhou Yu persuade Lu Ren to play hegemony here in Central Asia? If this matter really wants to be put bluntly, it is actually very simple, that is, Zhou Yu wants to divert Lu Ren's hatred target. To put it bluntly, Zhou Yu wanted Lu Ren to focus his main energy on areas outside of China for a long time, so that Lu Ren's attention to the Central Plains of China would not be so concentrated. With it, it will naturally be able to give Sun Quan some room to maneuver in the Huaxia region.

In a sense, Zhou Yu's thinking is a bit like Zheng Guo's attitude towards Qin during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, Zheng Guo was worried that the Qin State would attack Zheng Guo, so he actually came up with an idea of sending water conservancy experts to Qin State and let Qin State build water conservancy construction on a large scale. In Zheng Guo's view, as long as the Qin State builds a large number of civil engineering projects, it will not have the strength to expand outward, and Zheng Guo can avoid being attacked by the Qin State. As a result, Qin Guo really made a Zheng Guoqu......

The current Zhou Yu also has similar thoughts, because in Zhou Yu's opinion, although Lu Ren does not have the ambition to play hegemony in the Central Plains of China, the current Lu Ren's influence on the Central Plains of China is not a joke. In case one day Lu Ren's mind suddenly turned around and wanted to do something in the Central Plains of China, would Sun Quan be able to withstand Lu Ren? On this basis, thinking about Lu Ren's huge and profound potential value, Zhou Yu will break out in a cold sweat on his back for no reason.

Therefore, Zhou Yu deliberately persuaded Lu Ren to play Central Asia hegemony, so that Lu Ren's attention could be placed on Central Asia for a long time, and his attention to the Central Plains of China would be relatively reduced. Under the previous question, if Lu Ren really carves out a huge territory here in Central Asia, then maybe Lu Ren's strategic core will also be transferred from Yizhou in China to Central Asia.

To put it bluntly, if Lu Ren succeeds here in Central Asia, he will play "moving" if he doesn't do it well, or Zhou Yu just wants Lu Ren to move his "home" from Yizhou to Central Asia, so wouldn't Sun Quan's life be much better?

And Zhou Yu's idea is reasonable. Here can be an analogy, that is, Lu Ren's current territory in Huaxia is a bit like a small area of economic commercial housing, so Central Asia can be regarded as a super-large area of garden villas, at this time, in the eyes of ordinary people, of course, they will choose to move out of the economic commercial housing and live in a large garden villa.

Of course, these thoughts are out of Zhou Yu's loyalty and public heart to Sun Quan, but Zhou Yu himself is also very personal and selfish on this issue.

Let's put it this way, Zhou Yu was a young man, so he was young and frivolous, so he had some ambitions to help Sun Ce and Sun Quan to "build an emperor and draw the world". But with the changes in the current situation and the growth of his age and experience, Zhou Yu has gradually understood that he is now in the Central Plains of China, or under Sun Quan's command, I am afraid that it is difficult to do anything. Especially those opponents of their own, which one is a fuel-efficient lamp?

But Zhou Yu is Zhou Yu after all, and although the arrogance on his body will be deeply hidden, it will never be erased. If there is really any chance, Zhou Yu will definitely be unwilling to go on like this.

Especially now that Zhou Yu is over fifty years old, there is not much time for an ancient, so Zhou Yu's idea of creating something enough to leave a name in history in his lifetime is also very strong. But if it was under Sun Quan's command, Zhou Yu would not have this opportunity, but now he followed Lu Ren to Central Asia, but Zhou Yu saw some opportunities.

And on this issue, just like Zhou Yu said to Lu Ren before, he is a guest general, and he is reasonably following Lu Ren to help on the surface, and secretly he is also helping Sun Quan in his own way, so there is no problem at the level of "loyalty" to Sun Quan, so some things can be done boldly and with confidence. can not only live up to Sun Quan, but also give yourself entrepreneurial achievements, why not?

It's just that these things depend on Lu Ren's wishes, not what Zhou Yu wants. Because of this, Zhou Yu didn't use this topic until he heard about Wan'er from Lu Ren's mouth, and at the same time, he had to pretend to be crazy with wine, so he said something to Lu Ren. And Lu Ren didn't say anything, and Zhou Yu didn't know what Lu Ren would think.

Since he was writing a letter to Sun Quan, it was natural that he would have to explain to Sun Quan once again the reason for not provoking Lu Ren. After all the things that should have been written were written, Zhou Yu hesitated about whether he should tell Sun Quan about Wan'er.

Speaking of which, some of the things that Lu Ren caused because of Wan'er at the beginning are also known to the world, and now that Lu Ren is going to rest with a layer of Wan'er's reasons in it, Zhou Yu will naturally worry about whether Sun Quan's accurate judgment will be affected after Sun Quan knows about this matter. If this is one in one, Sun Quan will think that Lu Ren will go crazy again on Wan'er's issue, and Sun Quan will have an extra mind to take the opportunity to attack Lu Ren's territory. But now one of the things that Zhou Yu is most worried about is that Sun Quan turned his face against Lu Ren under the wrong judgment.

On the other hand, Wan'er's appearance is also a very sensitive issue, and Zhou Yu is a smart person, how can he not understand what kind of turbulence Wan'er, a person who has come back from the dead, once it is known, will cause some turbulent waves? Since ancient times, things like resurrection from the dead and immortality are enough to make too many people crazy about it, okay? Lu Ren has not had any problems with this issue because he has controlled it well, but if some people want to get something from Wan'er......

In short, this kind of problem is not easy to say, and Zhou Yu doesn't dare to think about it. So in the end, Zhou Yu decided not to tell Sun Quan about Wan'er, because that would make it too easy for things to get out of his control. In Zhou Yu's pen, it is just deduced that Lu Ren's master had a rebellious outlaw and ran to rest, and Lu Ren's next resting was actually ordered by his master, which is more reasonable. At the same time, you can more or less convey to Sun Quan the meaning of the past, that is, no matter what Lu Ren says, he is covered by his mysterious "master", and with such a big backstage, if you Sun Quan is fine, it is better not to provoke Lu Ren.

Such a letter, under Zhou Yu's repeated thinking and revision, was written from midnight until almost dawn. Put down the pen and put away the letter again, walked to the porthole again and looked at the red sun that was quietly rising on the horizon, Zhou Yu sighed softly again:

"Lu Ren, what kind of choice will you make? But now it seems that no matter what choice you make, I will have to help you fight the battle here. ”

————————————————————

After some time, the offshore of Kalihet.

Zhou Yu and Sun Shangxiang led the evacuation according to Lu Ren's request, and just a few days after Zhou Yu and Sun Shangxiang evacuated, the rest fleet slaughtered Kalihet with great momentum, and it is not difficult to see that they are here to take revenge. It's just that the harbor here in Kaliheit has long been empty. Not even in the warehouse, not to mention money and food, not even the barrels of clean water left half a barrel for the rest fleet.

The Sabbath fleet was so angry about this, or did Nagopur rush over after hearing the news, and of course, it was indispensable to reward the Sabbath fleet that came to help.

The Sabbath fleet had come under the orders of Kasili, and now that they had taken Khalihet, the next thing to do was to prepare to take Ceylon, so as to strengthen their maritime defense line of Bombay, Kalhihet, and Ceylon.

And since they were going to fight, of course, they had to inquire about Lu Ren's strength, so they quickly learned that the size of Lu Ren's fleet in Ceylon was not much different from what they were now...... They didn't know Lu Ren's overall strength here in Central Asia, but this was not because their intelligence was wrong, after all, Lu Ren's main goal before was on the front line of Guishan, and Guishan was still a long way from Ceylon, and some related things could not be passed here.

In the face of such an opponent, no matter how arrogant the Anxi Navy is, it will not dare to mess around. What's more, the two sides had fought a battle before, and the rest fleet had suffered a lot of losses, so he knew that Lu Ren's navy was not as easy to bully as Rome's navy. So what they had to do now was to guard Calihat first, and at the same time pass the relevant information back to rest and see what instructions Kasili's side would give.

Therefore, during this period of time, there has been no movement between Lu Ren and Anxi. But today, the patrol alert fleet of the rest fleet found a huge fleet coming towards them from a distance, and after a rough calculation, they suddenly realized that the number of ships on the other side should be more than a hundred.

How many ships are there in the small fleet of cruising alert? How dare you confront a fleet of this size? Of course, he immediately turned around and ran, and hurried back to Kalihet to warn him. The rest fleet stationed in Kalhiit was in a state of combat readiness because it knew that the enemy might attack at any time, and after hearing the news, it quickly mobilized with all its troops, and a total of more than 130 warships also sailed to the appropriate combat sea area, and looked at Lu Ren's fleet from a distance.

A big battle seemed to be on the verge of breaking out, but what the rest fleet didn't expect was that Lu Ren's fleet not only didn't make any movement after fighting them for a while, but also after the confrontation was over, the warships of more than 100 ships turned around and left, leaving a lot of farts in the rest fleet.

The Rest Fleet was in a tense state of combat readiness, and to put it mildly, the gunners of the ships of the Rest Fleet were all on fire, ready to light the fuses at any moment. But after being against each other for so long, Lu Ren's fleet just patted its ass and left, not firing a single shot or firing a single shot, which really made the rest fleet that was ready to start fighting have a feeling that they were full of anger and ready to amplify their moves, but the other party couldn't live or die, causing their anger to fade away...... Well, the people of the Rest Fleet don't have video games to play, but that's what it means.

This feeling of using all the strength of the body and hitting the air with a punch is really uncomfortable, and the people in the rest fleet are almost not crazy. I wanted to pursue, but by the time they reacted, Lu Ren's fleet had long since disappeared, where to chase it? Besides, the strength shown by the other party is not a joke, if you really chase after it rashly, there may not be any good fruit to eat on this side of the rest fleet.

So, that's how it is today.

But a few days later, the patrol guard fleet of the rest fleet found a huge fleet coming towards them from a distance, and after a rough calculation, they were once again surprised that the number of ships on the other side should be more than a hundred.

Or is it that the small fleet of cruising alert is only a few ships? How dare you confront a fleet of this size? Of course, he immediately turned around and ran away, and hurried back to Kalihet to warn him. The rest fleet stationed in Calihet still knew that the enemy might attack at any time, so it was still in a state of combat readiness, and after hearing the news, it hurried to move all its troops again, and a total of more than 130 warships once again all sailed off the shore and sailed to the suitable combat area, facing Lu Ren's fleet from a distance. But then, after more than an hour of confrontation, Lu Ren's fleet left a bunch of ship butts for the rest fleet......
