Volume 3 Chapter 389 Backyard Fire (3)

"Duke Xun, let's explain in advance that I, Lu Ren, am actually not a loyal minister, and I also have some thoughts of my own in my heart, but as long as the conditions allow, I will try my best to protect our Han ...... In fact, you know these things in your heart, right? ”

Xun Yu was silent for a moment, and then nodded solemnly to Lu Ren.

In fact, it is a very strange combination between Lu Ren and Xun Yu.

Needless to say, Lu Ren needs Xun Yu's talent, the connection between Xun Yu and Emperor Liu Xie, and Xun Yu's connections in the Central Plains.

As for Xun Yu, you said that with Xun Yu's ability, vision, and understanding of Lu Ren over the years, you can't see that Lu Ren actually doesn't have much thought about the Han Dynasty? Is this possible? But in the same way, after experiencing the changes and injuries of Lao Cao, Xun Yu's mentality and views on some things have changed, so although he can see that Lu Ren has no thoughts about the Han Dynasty, it is obvious that Lu Ren is a force that can be used, at least some of the things that Lu Ren wants to do The premise is to ensure the existence of the Han Dynasty, which is in line with Xun Yu's political purpose, so Xun Yu chose to spare no effort to help Lu Ren. And let's talk about it, it has a lot of "borrowing chickens to lay eggs".

Because of this, there is a lot of tacit understanding between Lu Ren and Xun Yu, and when necessary, even if the two sides say it clearly, the other party can accept it, and this is why when Lu Ren said these words at this time, Xun Yu nodded solemnly.

Looking at Lu Ren again, he sighed heavily, and then looked at Xun Yu with helpless but meaningful eyes: "Xun Gong, there are some things I don't know how to tell you, in fact, I can't tell you, I can only say it like this...... There are many things in this world that you and I really can't stop or change. For you literati, this will be called the Mandate of Heaven, and for me, it will be called a trend in the development of the times. ”

Xun Yu was silent for a moment and responded: "Yihao, do you want to say that the general trend is coming?" ”

Lu Ren neither nodded nor shook his head, but said softly, "It's almost." Xun Gong, I won't say anything superfluous, I just ask you now, our Han is at this point, do we really have the same hope as Han Wu Zhongxing? ”

When Xun Yu heard this, he was silent again. Xun Yu: Who is that? Is there something he really can't see? And as I have said before, Xun Yu's last hope is not to let the Han perish before he dies. People with such thoughts, don't they know what kind of virtue the Han Dynasty is already in?

Lu Ren looked at Xun Yu's reaction, shook his head lightly and said: "I still say the same thing now, if you told me the news in time at that time, then there is still room for redemption, but now...... Xun Gong, do you really want me to go to war with Liu Bei and Cao Pi? Even if you want to fight, I'll tell you clearly now that it's impossible, because I, Lu Ren, have my own selfishness. An imperial dynasty that is about to die, it is impossible for me Lu Ren to put all my family business into it for it! Whether you say that I am not a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, or even scold me as a traitor and a thief, I Lu Ren admit it. But I still have to say that I, Lu Ren, dare to pat my chest and say that I have never done anything to be sorry for the big man! ”

Xun Yu at this moment is really a little speechless. Yes, has Lu Ren done anything to be sorry for the big man? At least Xun Yu can't find anything wrong with this issue. In Xun Yu's opinion, not only did Lu Ren not do anything to be sorry for the Han Dynasty, but if Lu Ren hadn't stood up for him a few years ago, the Han Dynasty might have been finished.

At this time, Lu Ren clearly said that he was not a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and Xun Yu had no opinion on this, which meant that Lu Ren was equivalent to an "outsider" invited by Xun Yu to help, and the official title and title that Lu Ren got from the Han Dynasty were equivalent to the salary that the Han Dynasty gave Lu Ren as a "temporary worker". To put it mildly, the "company" of the Han Dynasty asked Lu Ren, a "temporary worker", to help, how can you do it if you don't pay a "salary"? Not only "salary", but also have to give Lu Ren, a "temporary worker", a pass to enter the "company", otherwise how could Lu Ren go in to "work"?

But when the "company" of the Han Dynasty was about to "go bankrupt and go bankrupt", would you be embarrassed to ask Lu Ren, an "outsider" and "temporary worker", to inject capital into the "company"? And it's the kind that wants to "inject" all your net worth into it. If that's the case, can it be justified?

Xun Yu was silent, and Lu Ren sighed lightly: "Xun Gong, I still say the same thing, if there is still room for recovery, I dare not say that I will do my best, but at least I will do something." But the current situation has really reached the point of no return. I know that in your heart, I must hope that I can be desperate to be loyal to King Han Qin and throw all my net worth and life into it. But...... I'm sorry, I can't! ”

Xun Yu lowered his head dejectedly: "Okay, don't say it." Yihao, since you have said these words clearly, then if I ask you anything, it will really be difficult for a strong man. And like you said, you've never done anything to be sorry for the big man, and it's not your fault that you're here, but I'm a little obsessed. ”

Just listening to Xun Yu's tone when he said these words, Lu Ren knew that Xun Yu was completely disheartened now. Perhaps at this time, the only thing that can make Xun Yu's heart feel a little better is that Lu Ren has not become the second old Cao. Lao Cao has some thoughts on his own, but Lu Ren doesn't have them, and it is really the result that the development of the situation is out of control.

But Xun Yu was still a little unwilling, because if Lu Ren withdrew his troops at this time, he might be able to scare Liu Bei and Cao Pi again? As soon as this idea came out, Xun Yu raised his head and looked at Lu Ren, but before Xun Yu could speak, Lu Ren shook his head and said, "Xun Gong, don't say it, I know what you want to say." I'm sorry, I can't withdraw my troops back at this time. ”

Xun Yu looked up to the sky and sighed when he heard this, people were obviously in extreme pain. After a long time, he lowered his head and looked at Lu Ren, and his voice seemed to be out of strength: "That's it, I won't force anything anymore." But Yihao, just to comfort me, an old man who is about to die, can you tell me the reason why you are reluctant to withdraw your troops and come back? ”

Lu Ren said: "Xun Gong, it seems that you are really, really ...... Alas! With your intelligence, don't you understand how rare the current fighter plane is? ”

Xun Yu said: "Of course I know. But as I told you at the beginning, you annihilated the main fleet of Rest, and took the front line of Mumbai, Kalithat, and Ceylon, and it is impossible for Resting to recover its strength in a short period of time, so what does it matter if you put aside the strategy of Rest for the time being? And during the period when you return to Huaxia, you can also leave the corresponding personnel and troops to govern the front line of Kalihat more steadily, so that you will not spend much effort when you fight again. ”

Lu Ren shook his head again: "Xun Gong, what did you say...... Didn't I ask you just now if I started a war with Liu Bei and Cao Pi, how long would this battle last? Two years, three years? Five years, ten years? Once the war is prolonged, do you think the rest side will not recover? ”

Saying that, Lu Ren paused and said, "There is something I didn't tell you before, because I didn't expect such a thing to happen, so this is not a problem." ”

Xun Yu said: "What's the matter? ”

Lu Ren said: "In this decisive battle, I have captured a lot of prisoners in terms of rest, including many high-level personnel. From the mouths of these people, I learned some of the truth about the rest of the world. Xun Gong, let me tell you this, the development of the military industry in Anxi is much better than I imagined, maybe you think that the vitality of Anxi is greatly damaged this time, and it will not be able to recover in a short time, but according to the information I have collected and made calculations, with the current military industrial capacity of Anxi, it will only take two years at most to re-establish a huge naval fleet, and its scale will be above the main force of the Anxi Navy that I annihilated this time. ”

Xun Yu was stunned: "What you said is true?" ”

Lu Ren didn't reply, just nodded with a wry smile. Lu Renzhen didn't lie to Xun Yu, the current Anxi really has such strength, after all, Anxi is a big empire in Central Asia, and at the political level, Wan'er is influencing Kasi Yili, where will the related things develop badly?

Xun Yu knew Lu Ren's personality, so he quickly understood that Lu Ren was not panicking. And at this moment, Xun Yu's heart sank to the bottom completely, and he no longer had any expectations for certain things.

Why? Because Xun Yu is one of the core personnel who know about Wan'er's affairs here in Lu Ren, he knows very well what kind of attitude Anxi has towards Lu Ren under Wan'er's influence, to put it bluntly, it is the mentality of killing Lu Ren no matter what. In this case, if Lu Ren does not seize the great opportunity to launch an attack on Anxi, and solve some problems while Anxi is unable to fight back, then when Anxi recovers, he will carry out a large-scale counterattack against Lu Ren.

And Lu Ren withdrew his troops back to Huaxia according to Xun Yu's idea at this time, and he still had to start a war with Liu Bei and Cao Pi, and it was still a war that could not be ended in a short time. If that's the case, won't Lu Ren be finished? Oh yes, you have to count a Sun Quan who is about to move, if he takes the sea route in peace, if he hooks up with Sun Quan again, even if Lu Ren has the ability and strength, he can't stop the combination of the four strong enemies.

So at this moment, Xun Yu was discouraged, and sighed with a wry smile: "Things have turned out to be like this, no wonder Yihao, you just said several times that you would not lose your life and family business." If you really want to get into that situation, you are indeed in danger of hanging eggs. Yoshiho, I'm wrong to blame you......"

Saying that, Xun Yu shook his head weakly: "Could it be that this is really the day that is going to kill my big man?" ”

Lu Renxin said that if the two of us hadn't joined forces, the Han Dynasty would have died seven years ago, okay? Don't talk about Liu Bei's Shu Han here, Liu Bei's Shu Han was not orthodox in the eyes of people at the time, and Xun Yu didn't take Liu Bei seriously. If you really want Xun Yu to evaluate Liu Bei, it is also to regard Liu Bei as a "rebel king", and Liu Liu, the king of Wu who launched a rebellion in the early Western Han Dynasty, is a virtue.

Sighing with Xun Yu, Lu Ren continued: "I don't know if it's a matter of comforting you if I say something more." The Roman envoys have come to me, Xun Gong, you know. And I have put a lot of effort into getting the Romans not to negotiate an armistice with Sabbath at this time, so that Rome can contain the west side of Sabbath.

"Rome must be very hesitant on this issue, it needs some substantive action on my side to impress them, and I will spend so much effort to design the main fleet that will be completely annihilated and rested, and there is such a layer of intention in it. But I withdrew my troops after the battle here, and I didn't go to attack in time to rest in peace, Xun Gong, do you think there will be any moves on the Roman side? For myself, such a good opportunity was given up, how much will it cost to come back in the future? And if you want to unite with Rome again, how difficult will it be? ”

All Xun Yu can do now is keep shaking his head, shaking his head, shaking his head again. And after Lu Ren finished thinking everything he had to say, the two of them fell into a long silence again.

I don't know how long it has passed, Xun Yu finally sighed and said, "That's it...... Yihao, you do what you want to do and want to do in Central Asia, and I, an old man, won't say anything more. ”

Lu Ren has been staring at Xun Yu's state, and seeing Xun Yu's current state, Lu Ren's heart also sank, and he hurriedly said: "Xun Gong, don't ...... it"

Xun Yu shook his head: "Don't ask anything, don't say anything, let me, an old man, be quiet." ”

All Xun Yu can do now is keep shaking his head, shaking his head, shaking his head again. And after Lu Ren finished thinking everything he had to say, the two of them fell into a long silence again.

I don't know how long it has passed, Xun Yu finally sighed and said, "That's it...... Yihao, you do what you want to do and want to do in Central Asia, and I, an old man, won't say anything more. ”

Lu Ren has been staring at Xun Yu's state, and seeing Xun Yu's current state, Lu Ren's heart also sank, and he hurriedly said: "Xun Gong, don't ...... it"

Xun Yu shook his head: "Don't ask anything, don't say anything, let me, an old man, be quiet." ”
