Lu Ren has Lu Ren's "everything he says", and Xun Yu also has his own analysis of the situation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info And if you really want to talk about it, Lu Ren belongs to "reading from the book" or "copying the scriptures", Xun Yu is relying on his own ability and vision, and Lu Ren is free from the outside world, but Xun Yu is in the center of the "eye of the storm", so many things, Xun Yu actually sees much more clearly than Lu Ren.

It's just that the few words Lu Ren said when he was leaving really made Xun Yu a little frightened:

"Xun Gong, you are undoubtedly asking for your own death by doing this. If you continue to dissuade you desperately like this, you are simply forcing Lao Cao to kill you. Of course, Cao Gong will not do anything to you on the bright side, he should use other aspects to make you commit suicide, and for him, this will also give you the last bit of face.

"Xun Gong, I will last admonish you, when he Lao Cao decides to do something to you one day, the last Han power in the inner courtyard will be over. I won't take it back to Yizhou this time, I'll stay with you. When you meet that day, Cang'er will have a way to save you. ”

Xun Yu is a smart person, as long as he analyzes it from the current situation, it is not difficult to come to a conclusion, that is, I am afraid that things are indeed as Lu Ren said, and Xun Yu's chances of being able to stop Cao Cao from becoming a public are very slim.

But Xun Yu still chose to stay, in addition to his own hope for Cao Cao, and at the same time followed Cao Cao for nearly 20 years, no matter how he said it, he couldn't bear to be separated, and he wanted to do his best to make his last efforts...... This is described in Lu Ren's words, that is, this personality seems to be a little stupid, but it is actually the backbone of a real scholar. And a scholar with this kind of character is a scholar worthy of respect.

Unconsciously, Xun Yu had been standing in front of the door for a long time, and it was not until the sky was full of light that Xun Yu came back to his senses when the early attendant came to the study to clean up. Thinking about the words that Lu Ren said that day, Xun Yu could only shake his head, and after being silent for a while, Xun Yu suddenly commanded loudly: "Come on, send the letter to Yecheng quickly!" ”

————————————————————

Lao Cao's public affairs are not so fast, after all, it is the end of the year, and Lao Cao has just returned from Xiliang after beating Ma Chao and Han Sui, so no matter how you say it, you have to let everyone have a good year, so at this stall, don't cause so many things.

Liu Bei is at this time, just like the original history, and is buying people's hearts in the Bazhong area; On the Jiangdong side, although Zhou Yu, who has always advocated swallowing Liu, was cured of his injuries when he went to Yizhou, Zhou Yu always felt a little powerless in the face of Zhuge Liang who Liu Bei stayed in Jingzhou.

However, on this issue, the main reason is that Sun Quan listened to the advice of Lu Sulian and Liu Kangcao, and only eyed Jingzhou but did not dare to do it, after all, if the Sun and Liu families at this time made a move, the happiest person could only be Lao Cao. And the news that Lao Cao may go south from Hefei to attack Sun Quan again in the coming year, Sun Quan must have heard about it, so where did Sun Quan dare to turn his face with Liu Bei at this time?

In short, the inland pattern at this time is still relatively calm, even if it is just the calm before the storm is coming, it is calm, right? After Lu Ren left Xuchang, he soon returned to Yizhou's old nest...... After coming back, he was almost drowned by Liu Ye's saliva.

I didn't say any of this, but in the middle of the sixteenth year of Jian'an, the fleet of Lu Xun, Sun Shangxiang, and Cibei came back from Wadao. Of course, there are still many things going on on the Wajima side, and when they came back at this time, one was to bring the soldiers back for the New Year, and the other was to come back to report to Lu Ren, and by the way, of course, to bring back the silver they got from Wajima.

Lu Xun and the others have been going to Yamatai on Wadao Island for more than a year. A year is not a long time, and Lu Ren's request to them is not to ask them to go to Wajima to fight, but to let them gain a firm foothold in Wajima in the name and way of supporting the inferior. So during this year, Lu Xun's main thing to do was to establish a base area.

However, since it is to support Cibei and help Cibei establish authority among the Beimihu clan, some battles that should be fought still have to be fought, so this matter is naturally in the hands of Sun Shangxiang.

In fact, during this year, Sun Shangxiang led her 2,000 Jiangdong soldiers to settle more than a dozen small tribes that were not very opposed to the Himiko clan...... To put it mildly, most of the Wajima tribes at that time were almost in the form of primitive society, and the guys in their hands actually had bone products! Can this Nima compete with the well-equipped Sun Shangxiang Corps? At the beginning, Lu Ren instigated Sun Shangxiang to go to Sun Quan to borrow soldiers, would he be reluctant to borrow the equipment of 2,000 people after borrowing soldiers? To put it mildly, if something really happened to Sun Shangxiang, Lu Ren would not be able to explain to Sun Quan here, right?

However, according to Sun Shangxiang at the banquet, those battles were not enjoyable at all. According to Sun Shangxiang's description, it is simply a large group of heavily armed adults, bullying a small group of children who only have toys in their hands...... It may be true that it is a child, because the height of the Japanese people at that time was not much different from that of a Chinese teenager.

The most terrible thing is that those Japanese tribes had any strategy and tactics at that time? If they have a good strategy and tactics, they can use the geographical advantage to fight guerrilla warfare with Sun Shangxiang or something, maybe they can give Sun Shangxiang a headache, but ...... Alas, needless to say. In short, in Sun Shangxiang's words, Lu Ren originally said that she would go to Wadao to play, and she really went to Wadao to play for a year. How many people did the children of Jiangdong go there at that time, and how many people still came back when they came back, and even the number of injured people was pitiful.

The combat mission mainly used Sun Shangxiang's 2,000 Jiangdong soldiers, and Lu Ren's 3,000 people transferred to Lu Xun, more often used as a construction corps. On the one hand, it was stationed in the Himiko tribe to give the second Bei Zhuang a strong reputation, and on the other hand, it was to build a base and develop the silver mines of Mt. Satomi. Only a few times did Lu Xun transfer some people to support Sun Shangxiang.

Next, Sun Shangxiang settled a lot of tribes, and there were not a few captured laborers, all of whom were sent to Lu Xun's hands as miners by Sun Shangxiang. At this time, if it was according to the practice of Westerners during the Age of Discovery, they would have taken these people as slaves and forced them to work.

But neither Lu Ren nor Lu Xun were predators, or that a person with Confucianism like Lu Xun would not do that, and even Lu Ren would not approve of such an approach. Therefore, Lu Xun's method was to concentrate these tribes in the area of Satomi Mountain, and chose a suitable place to establish a new tribal alliance. Of course, the nominal leader of this new tribal alliance is the secondary.

Next, of course, it is Lu Ren's stick and date strategy, to put it bluntly, it is actually me who gives you food and clothing, and you work hard for me. There are prizes for those who do well, and those who do not do well are only porridge and pickles. If you work more, you will get more, and if you don't work, you will starve me.

How backward was the standard of living in Wajima at that time? And where will the quality of food and clothing provided by Lu Ren be poor? So those tribes who were pacified by Sun Shangxiang may have been a little resistant at the beginning, but when they saw that as long as they obeyed and worked hard, their lives would be much better than before, so they didn't work hard one by one?

So by the time Lu Xun and the others came back this time, the Satoyama area had actually formed a new system, or it could also be said to be a new city-state, using the white lead and silver they mined in exchange for the clothing and consumption of Yizhou. Relatively speaking, the relationship between the two sides is still good, and this is what Lu Ren wants to see. Because if it is not necessary, Lu Ren does not want to fight by force, so the loss will be relatively large, and the opponent's rebound will be relatively large. If we use force for something, we will really turn into reckless force.

By the way, I have to say that Lu Ren currently has two sources of silver in his heart, one is Wadao, and the other is Nanzhong. However, the situation on the Nanzhong side is more complicated, and it is unlikely to be done in a short period of time, according to the news sent back by Deng Ai, it may take several years to reach the standard in Lu Ren's heart, so at this time, Lu Ren doesn't expect anything from the Nanzhong side.

In contrast, the situation of Wajima was much better, and before Lu Ren could attack Nanzhong, a lot of Wajima's silver had already been mined in the hands of Ling Yuan and Cibei and transferred to Lu Ren's hands. And developing and stabilizing the existing one, and at the same time developing the future, isn't this also a strategic direction?

Not to mention how excited and gushing Sun Shangxiang was in this banquet, anyway, when it was almost time, Sun Shangxiang was poured down. Lu Ren asked Sun Shangxiang's maid soldiers to carry Sun Shangxiang back, and then after chatting a few more gossips, Lu Ren said to Lu Xun Zhengse: "Let's not talk about the previous bragging, Bo Yan, you tell me now what the situation is on the island." ”

Lu Xun said: "The foolish brother also wants to talk to his brother in detail. But this Wa Evil Horse Terrace...... Honestly, it's not enough to look at it! As soon as a few thousand of our men and horses ascended to the Yama Terrace, the queen of the Wa tribe, Himiko, rushed to show her goodwill, and looking at their combat effectiveness, it would not be enough for us to fight if we really fought. According to the brother's wishes, the foolish brother was there to take advantage of the situation, and in less than half a year, a large piece of Wajima was included in our palms. The local aborigines also resisted a little, but in their slash-and-burn situation...... Alas, the foolish brother didn't bother to say it. ”

Lu Ren smiled: "Then did you do what I said?" ”

Lu Xun spread his hands: "My brother has a life, how dare the county lord and the foolish brother disobey?" But to be honest, brother, isn't this order a little too harsh? For those who dare to resist, kill all the men and then rob the women...... There are many times when the county lord and I can't do it. ”

Lu Ren snorted softly and said, "I can't be soft on those Japanese people...... Forget it, let's say so, but if you really want me to kill, I probably won't be able to do this, it's just a mouthful. (To be continued.) )
