In Sima Yi's eyes, Lu Lan is just a little girl who was born beautiful and cute, and because of this, she is favored in many ways. Clever and clever are certainly smart and clever, but they have no scheming in themselves...... Or to put it another way, many people think that women are "big-chested and brainless", but in the end, they often fall in the shoes of these "big-chested" women.

Is Lu Lan really a scheming girl? Of course not. Speaking of which, Sima Yi joined Lao Cao's command after Lu Ren left Cao Ying, so he has limited knowledge about some people around Lu Ren, even Zhang Chunhua, who has been with Lu Ren for a while, doesn't know much about Lu Lan because he stays by Cai Yan's side most of the time.

Who is Lu Lanna? Before following Lu Ren, he was able to survive in a war-torn area as a wandering orphan, and he didn't have any skills, can it be said? And later, after following Lu Ren, what are the three princes and nine kings, and the Xiangfu Palace is also a place that often goes to, and it can also make people like her very much, which is something that can be done simply by being lively and cute?

Therefore, Lu Lan is actually a human essence, and only Lu Ren and Cai Yan may know more about Lu Lan's human essence. At this moment, Lu Lan was actually sent by Lu Ren to Sima Yi, deliberately giving Sima Yi a little bit of tone...... Lu Ren had been sending people to keep an eye on Sima Yi's movements, so in the past two days, Lu Ren had already guessed that Sima Yi wanted to get information about artillery from Yizhou. But then again, since the artillery was officially used, Lu Ren also expected that the Cao, Liu, and Sun families would all be eyeing this thing.

Speaking of Lu Lan, Sima Yi's idea of wanting to talk from her, Lu Lan saw it at a glance, so she was happy to pretend to be stupid at this time, so she smiled at Sima Yi with great interest and "simple": "Prime Minister Cao Cheng wants to buy some artillery?" It's difficult, it's not that we don't want to sell, it's that we don't have enough here in Yizhou. Mr. Zhongda, you also know that he and Sun Quan have become mortal enemies, and there are wars in the coastal areas from time to time. But in general, the national strength of Yizhou is far inferior to that of Eastern Wu, so maybe Sun Quan's soldiers and horses will come over at any time. In the art of war, it is said that 'the first is invincible', and we in Yizhou must first make relevant defense preparations. Now we in Yizhou have replaced the previous trebuchets with artillery, for this reason. ”

Sima Yi raised his brows when he heard this. How shrewd is he? found a little bit of the words from Lu Lan's sentence "My national strength in Yizhou is far inferior to that of Eastern Wu", and after a little muttering, he said tentatively: "Yiguan Yizhou is rich and strong, and the day the teacher comes out will inevitably be like a rainbow, and Sun Quan's generation will be frightened when he looks at it, why did the county lord say ......?"

Lu Lan also kept an eye on it, and the jewelry communicator on her body was turned on, which meant that Lu Ren was listening to Sima Yi's words, and would teach Lu Lan how to speak at any time, so she was also talking with a flicker at this time: "Alas, Mr. Zhongda has won the award!" What kind of country is rich and strong, and the momentum is like a rainbow? It's no one else, I'm telling you it's okay.

"Let's go to Yizhou, the people's small life is good, but it is precisely because of this that few people in Yizhou are really willing to fight. Mr. Zhongda, you may not know that at the beginning of the founding of Yizhou, almost all the people we received were war-torn refugees from all over the Central Plains, and everyone was afraid of war, and just wanted to have a stable place to live their own small life.

"Actually, don't talk about them, where are my adults willing to fight? If Sun Quan hadn't provoked us this time, we wouldn't have started a war with Sun Quan at all. Now it's time for the battle to begin...... I often go to talk to adults to relieve boredom, Mr. Zhongda, do you know how adults sigh? My lord said, 'Yizhou's finances are all in my hands, and I also know that I am suffering, but Xingba and Hansheng don't handle their money, so how can I know how difficult I am here?' ’”

Sima Yi was immediately dumbfounded, but most of the elements pretended to be stupid: "Why did Lu Yizhou say this?" ”

Lu Lan spread her hands: "Don't you know, when we were in Yizhou, in order to ask the people to settle down with peace of mind, we agreed that the agricultural tax was only 20%, and we never temporarily collected taxes from the people. If not, how could the people of Yizhou live so peacefully? Over the years, my family has been relying on the money and profits of the merchants in Xuzhou and Jingzhou, but now that the war with Sun Quan has begun, the waterway to Jiangdong has been cut off, and our Yizhou has long been unable to make ends meet.

"To put it mildly, my family is now eating the old books that I saved before. It is already undesirable to eat the old book, but it is still necessary to start a war with Sun Quan...... Some generals who lead troops don't care about money and food, they don't know how powerful it is, they only think about killing the enemy on the battlefield and making meritorious contributions, but what should I do here? A little later, I think we will probably have to tax the people in Yizhou to pay for military expenses. ”

After Sima Yi heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, but he immediately calmed down again. Looking at Lu Lan again, she is still pretending to be tender and pure, and this kind of work, Lu Lan is very familiar with it......

――――――――――――――――――――

In the evening in Mangjia City, Lu Ren's mansion.

Lu Lan returned to Mangjia in the afternoon, and after returning home, she took a leisurely bath, changed her clothes, and then slept a little, and didn't wake up until it was close to dinner. At this time, I was leisurely drinking tea in the gazebo. After a while, the sound of footsteps came, but it was Lu Ren who rushed over, and saw Lu Lan splitting his head and saying, "Xiaolan, you're back!" What's going on with the dead ants? ”

Lu Lan put down the teacup and said with a smile: "What's the situation?" I've been keeping this transsion jewelry open, and you've heard what you've said. My lord, Xiaolan did a good job this time, right? ”

Lu Ren said: "It's a good job, but I still want to ask what kind of expression this dead ant had at that time." ”

After thinking about it, Lu Lan said a rough word to Lu Ren, Lu Ren pondered for a long time after listening, and finally nodded and said: "Now it seems that my previous speculation is not wrong, the dead ants came to Yizhou this time to hurt Lao Cao's business." ”

Lu Lan hesitated: "My lord, are you so sure?" ”

Lu Ren poured a cup of tea for Lu Lan, and the smile on his face was still the same: "I admit that Dead Ant is a strong man, if I really fight him, I may not be his opponent." But he made a big mistake, that is, he shouldn't have underestimated you girls. From his conversation with you before, I obviously felt that he regarded our Xiaolan as a scheming woman. ”

“…… My lord, how do I feel that this sentence of yours is a bit like scolding me? ”

Lu Ren smiled: "Don't think about it, how can I be willing to scold you?" But when it comes to acting, I'm afraid that no one in Yizhou will be your opponent. This is what I know about you, but most of those who don't know your details will be deceived by your pretense. ”

Lu Lan's pretty face sank slightly: "My lord, I'm angry if you say this kind of thing again." ”

Lu Ren was dumbfounded, shook his head and no longer talked to Lu Lan about these unrelated matters, and Lu Lan thought about it again and asked without worrying: "But my lord, that's what you said, but according to your words, this dead ant is also a master of acting after all, you be careful not to be deceived by him." ”

Lu Ren waved his hand and said: "It's okay if he lied to me, I lied to him, it doesn't matter much in this matter." Even if, as you said, maybe we were put on the table by dead ants, but our intentions are all for the same goal, aren't we? Okay, I think that the dead ant sees through my acting, but for him, this is exactly the result he wants, so even if my play is seen through by him, he will go down this stairs and will not break us. After all, he was an envoy sent by Lao Cao to ask us to send troops on the surface, and it was inconvenient for him to say some things, so it was appropriate for us to give him steps. ”

After hearing Lu Ren's words, Lu Lan thought about it seriously, and then nodded in agreement with Lu Ren and asked, "Then my lord, what should we do next?" ”

Lu Ren smiled: "I think it should be like now, I try not to bump into Sima Yi as much as possible, and if there is anything, you will come forward on my behalf, so that this step of the dead ant will be easier to go down." Besides, why am I so sure that the dead ants are here to disrupt Lao Cao's big deal? Because when you were talking to the dead ants, you didn't notice that the dead ants were knocking on the side and giving me ideas. ”

Lu Lan's ears hurt: "What? He gave your advice to your lordship? Did I hear me right? ”

Lu Ren laughed again: "You heard it right, the dead ant gave me an idea." Of course, he speaks very skillfully. On the surface, it sounded like I was worried about Lao Cao, but in fact, it reminded me what to do. Xiaolan, didn't we also plan to poke out the fact that Lao Cao was going to send an envoy to our Yizhou and let Sun Quan know? It's a pity that we don't think as comprehensively as the dead ants. According to the idea of the dead ant, when Zhao Yu brought him to Yizhou, he should come from the offshore of Sun Quan's land with great fanfare. ”

Lu Lan scoffed: "Go!" Typical bad idea! At that time, no one could figure out whose bottom it was, and Xiaoyu had always been more cautious in handling things, how could he dare to take such a risk? Besides, the dead ant is looking at things from a perspective that is favorable to him, and we can hang a hairy side here in Yizhou! ”

Lu Ren smiled and nodded: "Well, Xiaolan, you're right. However, for us, we missed this opportunity to directly let Sun Quan know that the old Cao envoy had arrived in Yizhou, and the next thing was more troublesome. Therefore, Sima Yi came up with an idea for me around the bend, that is, that we should send envoys, ostensibly to Hefei through the Yangtze River waterway, but in fact, they were deliberately caught by Sun Wu's navy.

"I thought about it for a while, and I thought it was a good idea, much faster than our slow transmission of the news to Sun Quan from folk rumors, and it was much more credible in comparison. According to the current way of news circulation, it will take at least a month for the rumors in the market to reach Sun Quan's ears, and Sun Quanxiang will have to send someone to Yizhou to inquire if he confirms the news. Here we won't say anything about the fact that it is difficult for people from Sun Wu's side to get to Yizhou, but only that even if Sun Quan's fine work can be passed, it will take more than a month to talk about it back and forth. It will take more than two months before and after, even if Sima Yi has the ability, even if we want to delay it again, we can't delay it for such a long time, right? ”

Lu Lan somewhat understood, but frowned slightly: "The words are good, but who is appropriate?" ”

Lu Ren laughed and said, "You don't need our people to go." The Sima clan is a wealthy family in the world, and of course the dead ants will also have so many capable dead soldiers around them, so we just have to give the dead ants a clipper and the corresponding sailors. (To be continued.) )
