Chapter 143 So the lord of the county
Wu Guomu wanted to curry favor with Lu Ren and pull the relationship because of Sun Shangxiang's nonsense, so as not to have any dissatisfaction with the Lu clan represented by Lu Ren, and even the wealthy forces in the Jiangdong region, and in turn, where did Lu Ren want to make the relationship with the Sun family too stiff? And this task naturally fell on Minchan, who can be said to be a teacher and friend with Sun Shangxiang, and has a good relationship.
Mink Chan was born in Kabuki, and pleasing people is a professional specialty, so Sun Shangxiang and Wu Guomu were coaxed back and forth, and the relationship was handled quite well, and in the end, when Lu Ren sent someone to pick up Mink Chan to return to the fleet so that he could set off for Yizhou, he couldn't stand Wu Guomu's request out of a great liking for Mink Chan, and finally had to stay in Wu County for three more days.
Finally, Lu Ren's fleet was able to set sail offshore, and a few days later arrived at the main port of the small city of Yizhou.
Since Jian'an left Yizhou in June of the ninth year and returned to the Jingzhou area, more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye. In this year, due to the influx of a large number of people from various regions, the development of the small town of Yizhou was extremely rapid. The main port that first fell into Lu Ren's eyes was almost completely different a year ago. Not to mention anything else, let's just say that today's small town harbor can not only dock more than 100 large ships, but also build arrow towers and forts in key places...... Of course, at this time, the turret was only equipped with a trebuchet of 500 paces.
Looking back at the past, the main defensive wall of the small city of Yizhou has become a form, and there are many large and small fishing boats in the exclusive port of the fishing industry near the main cargo throughput port. When Lu Ren's fleet approached, he encountered many fishing boats, and when Lu Ren's fleet came over, they all brushed out of the waterway, and many people cheered for the fleet. In addition, after the flag is checked, the patrol vessels along the coast also send signals to the observation towers on the shore.
When the ship docked, all the main people in the small town of Yizhou rushed to greet them. When Lu Ren stepped off the sampan, Shirley greeted him and smiled at Lu Ren Yingying: "Senior brother, are you willing to come back and have a look?" ”
Needless to say. Over the course of the year, Shirley has changed a bit. Although it is still cold, the naughty energy is a little more. Considering Shirley's existence like a popular goddess in Yizhou, Lu Ren hurriedly took two steps back and waved his hand again and again: "Don't mind! In front of so many people, save me some face! ”
Many people laughed together, they all knew that these two brothers and sisters were like this, and they didn't care about it. Moreover, Shirley, as a woman, took the regent of Yizhou on behalf of Lu Ren, seeing that the relationship between their brothers and sisters was so good, it also contributed to the stability of Yizhou.
This side is talking, and over there are various cargo ships discharging goods and people. Not only the goods, but the Lu family of Wu County has been absorbing the population in Wu County and then sending it to Yizhou. There are not many of them, though. But it's better than nothing. Besides, the quality of the population in Wu County is higher than that of the displaced people from Shanyue, Nanyue, and even Hebei in terms of humanistic concepts. In modern terms, it can be used as a white-collar class...... Relative to the situation in the Han Dynasty. And this kind of population with relatively high quality can naturally get more.
Suddenly, a girl in a certain disembarking team rushed to Lu Ren's side and beckoned repeatedly, calling loudly: "Lu Servant, Sister Xiu." Let's take Shang Xiang! ”
A patrol officer had already stepped forward to stop, and then as soon as Lu Ren heard this voice, his head buzzed several times bigger:
"Sun Shangxiang!? Impossible, right!? How, what's going on? How can there be a county lord like her? The dignified Lord Sun Wu actually blended into the homeless pawns and then mixed into our ship! Such a county lord. Maybe she's the only one in the world! ”
――――――――――――――――――――
Without further ado, Sun Shangxiang came out as a presumptuousman, and Lu Ren naturally asked Minchan to accompany him, and then quickly gathered a group of people together to discuss countermeasures.
Ganning is straight. Immediately, his face showed murderous aura, and he made a gesture of "kill" to Lu Ren, who quickly shook his head and said, "You can't kill!" Seriously. Sun Shangxiang dared to come to our Yizhou like this, and with her temper, she probably left a book for Wu Guomu and Sun Zhongmou in advance. If something really happens to her, we will have to deal with Sun Wu immediately. Although I haven't been in Yizhou for a long time, I also know the current situation of our Yizhou, so let's talk about it, do we really have the strength to fight Sun Wu now? ”
Everyone shook their heads together, Gan Ning frowned and said, "How about being held hostage?" ”
Lu Ren paced back and forth in the hall a few times with his hands behind his back, and finally shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to deduct it." Today we detain Sun Shangxiang, and tomorrow our Yangtze River waterway will be completely cut off. In the next two or three years, we will not be able to do without the trade of goods with Jingxiang and Wuyue, and this waterway will not be cut off. Moreover, once Sun Shangxiang is detained, he will directly make enemies with Sun Wu, and prematurely intensify the contradictions, I am afraid that it will hinder our plans. ”
Zhen Mi frowned and said, "Why don't you send a boat now, and send Lord Sun back to Wu?" ”
Lu Ren nodded: "It seems that this is the only way." ”
Shirley thought about it but shook her head, "I'm afraid it's not that easy, right?" I think this is a typical example of how easy it is to please God and difficult to send God. This Sun County Lord can be bold enough to dare to blend in with the homeless people and come to us again, we can deliberately send her back immediately this time, but what about next time? This time she appeared, and we can still control it, but next time if she deliberately conceals her identity and blends into the homeless people as a cloth cloth, I'm afraid that there are some things that we can't hide if we want to. You can't really take her down as a fine work, right? The general fine work will be killed if she is killed, but if she shakes out her identity at a critical time, will our beheading knife be down or not? ”
Lu Ren hesitated: "Senior sister, what do you mean?" ”
Shirley said: "There are some things that we might as well think the other way around. Didn't she come here and reveal her identity again? Then she is a guest, senior brother, you might as well ask Mrs. Xiu to work a little more, and take her to those beautiful but unpopulated places as much as possible, without touching our key industries, in short, let her think that we are just a decent port.
"In addition, if we use it properly, we can use her mouth to show Sun Quan that we are a unprofitable place here, and second, we can also use her to build a good relationship with Sun Wu, senior brother, what do you think? Again, if it is deliberately concealed, I am afraid it will only backfire. ”
Lu Ren pondered for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement. However, Lu Ren is also a little strange, Shirley has never been good at this kind of intrigue, how can she make such a suggestion this time? Secretly activates the chip to ask Shirley, but Shirley sends a manuscript. Lu Ren almost didn't have a mouthful of old blood when he saw the title:
"The 'cause of the enemy' in "The Thirteen Chapters of the Art of War"? Shirley, you're okay, it's really enough to learn and sell now to your part! ”
――――――――――――――――――――
Lu Ren is talking about such things here, and it's not interesting to say more. It is only said that although Sun Shangxiang has been in the homeless group for nearly a month, and has been bumpy on the sea, it is said that she should rest for two or three days after arriving, but this Sun Dajun Lord is a master who can't sit still, and after only sleeping for a day, he pestered Minchan to take her to various places in the small city of Yizhou.
Mink Chan received Lu Ren's instructions, although she was taking Sun Shangxiang to play, but she was deliberately avoiding the small city itself, but was ready to lead Sun Shangxiang all the way south to Sun Moon Lake for a turn. As for the name, it is easy to find, saying that it is to take Sun Shangxiang to see the customs of the local tribes here in Yizhou.
Sun Moon Lake is in the middle of Yizhou, about 150 kilometers away from the Tamsui River on the northern coast of Yizhou, which is about 360 miles into Hanli. In addition, due to the mountainous nature of the journey, it would take about a month to make a round trip, and the Shanyue tribes who moved to Yizhou after moving to Yizhou and still lived in the mountains according to their living habits along the way had a good industrial cooperative relationship with the small town of Yizhou in Luren, and they could provide corresponding care on the road.
Didn't Diao Chan lead Sun Shangxiang to see the customs? If you stay in each tribe for a day or two, and then play in Sun Moon Lake for a few days, you really can't go to the hot springs of Yizhou again, and then when you return to the small city of Yizhou, two or three months will pass. As for Lu Ren, he may have to stay in Yizhou for a long time this time, but the caravan under his command will not stop, and at most he will set off again in two or three months. Therefore, Lu Ren was ready to wait for the fleet to be ready to stop, and when it was almost time, he had to pull Sun Shangxiang onto the ship back to Wu County.
There are few words to gossip, just to say that on this day, Diao Chan and Sun Shangxiang packed up their things and walked out of the door, just walked outside the mansion and before they could get on the horse, they happened to be greeted by a team of female security soldiers in Tamsui City. As soon as they saw Minchan, the female soldiers immediately saluted respectfully and shouted in unison: "See Commander Xiu!" ”
Minchan nodded to the group of female soldiers, signaling them to continue patrolling, but when she turned back, she saw Sun Shangxiang and asked Minchan in surprise: "Sister Xiu, what are they...... Also, why do they call you 'Commander'? ”
Mink Chan was stunned and reluctantly explained: "At the beginning, Yihao took in the displaced people and then brought them to Yizhou to settle down, but what about this displaced people...... The county lord you also often walk around the people to play, you should know that young and strong men are often forcibly recruited by all parties or wealthy families, although Yihao has taken in, but because of this, most of them are women and children. There are more women than men, and the law is temperate but cannot be abolished, so it is also helpless to choose some strong women to practice martial arts as pawns to ensure the safety of the countryside. ”
Sun Shangxiang nodded suddenly, but immediately pouted: "In fact, what men do, we women can also do." By the way, Sister Xiu, as the leader of the female pawns, how many female pawns are there under your command? ”
Minchan smiled dryly: "Also, there are not many people. ”
"How much is that? Oh, don't talk about it, Sister Xiu, can you take me to see it? ”
Minchan was stunned: "This, this is not very good, right?" ”
Sun Shangxiang said: "Is there anything wrong?" ”
Mink Chan is talking nonsense, of course this kind of thing is inappropriate! (To be continued.) )
