“…… I'm really cranky enough. In front of the two armies? I am now being sent by Lao Cao to pacify Xuzhou, and judging by the current situation, it is unlikely that I will be transferred back to Xuchang in a short time. If it's really bad, maybe I won't even be able to catch up with the entire battle of Guandu. However, Yuan Shang doesn't seem to have participated in the battle of Guandu himself, right?

"If I want to kill Yuan Shang with my own hands, I still have to be patient. It is said that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, ten years is not too late, and I can't rush it for a while, and I have to settle all these people around me...... Wan'er, I think you can understand me, right? I don't want your thing to happen to anyone else. ”

Thinking about these things in his heart, Lu Ren raised the musket in his hand and pointed it out of the window of the ship, and said a soft "bang" in his mouth, of course, he didn't really pull the trigger, and he only made up a figure as a target in his mind. To be honest, Lu Ren didn't know what Yuan Shang looked like, and he was really a little angry in his heart.

After doing the little thing at hand, Lu Ren couldn't sleep for a while, and he felt bored after staying in the cabin, so he simply left the cabin and went to the bow of the ship to blow the wind and breathe. When I got to the bow of the boat to see that the moonlight was good, the arrival of the bright moon and sea waves touched some of Lu Ren's heartstrings, and he wanted to take out the bamboo flute to play a song, but he remembered that he didn't bring the bamboo flute with him on this trip. Besides, now in the middle of the night, wouldn't playing the flute and playing here wake up other people's good dreams?

With a faint smile like self-deprecation, Lu Ren sat on the bow deck and stared blankly at the waves. And this sitting, I don't know how long he sat there, until someone behind him called him, Lu Ren came back to his senses. Looking back, it was Zhao Yun who also came to the bow of the boat.

"Why hasn't Lu Servant Shot rested?"

Lu Ren shook his head: "I have something in my heart, so I can't sleep." Brother Zilong, what about you? ”

Zhao Yun found a piece of ground and sat down, and responded: "Yun also has some worries in his heart, so it is difficult to sleep peacefully. ”

Lu Ren smiled, and happened to have the wine he brought with him when he left the cabin. handed it to Zhao Yun casually: "Brother Zilong is still thinking about where that person is now, right?" It's already mid-February, and although I don't have any definite news here, judging from Yuan Shao's order to Yuan Tan to force Mr. Zheng to accompany the army, Yuan Shao can't sit still, and maybe the vanguard troops are already attacking the ferries along the Yellow River. And if Yuan Shao sends troops, that person will definitely go out together, and it shouldn't be too difficult to find out about him at that time. ”

Zhao Yun waved his hand and said, "I'm not thinking about this, but thinking about Lu Servant's reluctance to send Mr. Zheng Kangcheng to Xudu." To be honest, when Yun and Lu Servant first met, they didn't believe what Lu Servant said about Cao Liu. But by the events of this day. Yun was sure that Lu Fujiao was indeed not one of Cao's party. Now just in time, Yun Telai shot a confession to Lu Servant. ”

Lu Ren smiled indifferently. To put it in his heart, Lu Ren didn't expect what he said at the time, Zhao Yun would completely believe it, is it really so easy to fool others? In this regard, Lu Rendu often secretly warns himself, that is, don't treat others as fools, and it is likely that when you treat others as fools, you are the real fools.

However, now that Zhao Yun is like this, it is still somewhat unexpected for Lu Ren. Let's be honest. Lu Ren would say something like that at that time, he was definitely not doing any trick to buy people's hearts, nor was he fooling Zheng Xuan, but he really didn't want to send Zheng Xuan to Xuchang. Some people will stop at nothing to achieve their ends. can sacrifice anyone, but some people don't want to implicate others, and Lu Ren is the latter.

It's just that Lu Ren doesn't know that it is exactly what he does. Only then did Zhao Yun appreciate him extraordinarily. It is precisely because of something like today that Zhao Yun will continue to sincerely help Lu Ren in the coming days......

――――――――――――――――――――

Hundreds of miles of sea. It was done in one night. When Lu Ren returned to Lianyun, out of the reason that he didn't want to alarm those people on the Xuzhou realm, he had to arrange for the old man Zheng Xuanzheng to live in Lianyun for the time being. But this is not a difficult matter, Lianyun's side is basically the land of the Mi clan, and the hands of those clans on the boundary of Xuzhou can't be inserted into Lianyun, so it is a piece of cake to find a quiet place for Old Man Zheng, and then find someone to take care of Old Man Zheng.

After doing these things, Lu Ren returned to Tancheng. After arriving in Tancheng, Lu Ren did not rush back to his residence, but first went to the office to take a look, and asked if anything had happened during his absence from Xuzhou, but fortunately the answer was that it was peaceful. As for ordinary trivial matters, Lu Cheng and Lu Xin who stayed here can handle it. But at this time, Lu Cheng and Lu Xin told Lu Ren:

"The people from the Lu clan of Wu County are here."

As soon as he heard this, didn't Lu Ren hurry back to his residence to have a look? When he returned to his residence, he found that there were more people in his courtyard, and before he could ask in detail, Lu Lan rushed over and said, "My lord, you are finally back!" Nothing happened, right? ”

Lu Ren shook his head, casually pointed at the extra people, and asked, "These people are ......?"

Lu Lan said: "My lord, you came from your hometown, and you arrived the afternoon before yesterday." ”

Lu Ren frowned slightly. He originally wanted to ask Lu Xun to come to Xuzhou to help, but he also knew that Lu Xun might not really come to Xuzhou to help him. When they got the news from Lu Cheng and Lu Xin before, the two boys told Lu Ren that the person who came over from the Lu family this time was not led by Lu Xun, but by an unknown person, and he was a child of the Lu family who was similar to Lu Fang, and Lu Ren had nothing to do about it.

However, a group of people came to help him, even if he was just a miscellaneous soldier like the Lu family's disciples, it was better than nothing. So Lu Ren nodded, and asked people to invite the leaders of this group of Lu clan's disciples to meet with him. And it didn't take much effort, a thirty-year-old Lu disciple met with Lu Ren, and after a polite request to Lu Ren to step away, this thirty-year-old Lu disciple did not speak, but the young follower he brought raised his head and saluted Lu Ren: "Brother Yihaoxian, you are polite." ”

Lu Ren was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, and when he saw that the thirty-year-old Lu disciple had already left the room, but it was this seventeen or eighteen-year-old little follower who remained here, Lu Ren immediately understood, and asked tentatively, "Are you ...... Lu Boyan? ”

Lu Xun nodded and said, "It's the little brother." Brother Xian, forgive me, this time I came, Xun and Gongji did not dare to alarm the Sun family. That's why others took the lead, and the younger brother was hidden among everyone. ”

Lu Ren nodded in understanding. When Sun Ce swept Jiangdong, he used a high-pressure policy to treat the clan surnames in Jiangdong, and he was even more ruthless when he killed people. If Lu Xun is not careful, once he is caught by Sun Ce, it will be a disaster for the Yi clan.

However, when Lu Xun appeared, Lu Ren first took a good look at Lu Xun. Speaking of which, there are frequent correspondence between Lu Ren and Lu Xun, but this is the first time they have actually met. Take a closer look, Lu Ren feels that Lu Xun is indeed a typical handsome guy in Jiangnan, that is, he has a little bit of a pan-"mother" in temperament. The scholarly atmosphere is also a bit heavy.

But then again, this may be Lu Xun's self-preservation, if he is that kind of fearful and powerful, maybe Sun Ce would have been a killer a long time ago. A person with such a "motherly" spirit, with the common concept of people at the time, no one would pay attention to him. Of course, Lu Ren wouldn't look at Lu Xun like that. If you want Lu Ren to say, Lu Xun is really ruthless.

Just when Lu Ren was drying Lu Xun. Xiao Lu Lan, who stayed by Lu Ren's side, was also curiously drying Lu Xun. Her big eyes flashed one after another, and she actually made Lu Xun feel furious, her head lowered involuntarily, and her face was still a little feverish. Lu Ren secretly wondered in his heart when he saw Lu Xun like this. Glancing at Xiao Lulan beside him again, he couldn't help but say dumbly in his heart: "Won't it?" Lu Xun is so tender? But it's no wonder that this kid is only seventeen years old this year......"

It's just that now is not the time to think about this, Lu Ren is afraid that Lu Xun will be made speechless by Lu Lan. He waved his hand to let Lu Lan withdraw, and he waited for Lu Xun to recover a little before asking, "Bo Yan, since you are from Jiangdong, you should have heard what I mentioned in the letter, right?" ”

Lu Xun's somewhat feverish face recovered quickly after Lu Lan left. After listening to Lu Ren's question at this time, Lu Xun nodded and responded: "As Brother Xian expected, Sun Bofu has been mobilizing money, food, soldiers, horses, and warships and ordnance since the beginning of spring, and most of them are collected on the Moling line, not on the Chaisang line......

According to the situation at that time, the troops were concentrated in Chaisang, and the target would be Jiangxia, but if it was concentrated in Moling, that is, the later Jianye and modern Nanjing, the target would be Xuzhou. Even if Lu Ren no longer understands military affairs, he still understands some of the corresponding relationships. So after listening to Lu Xun's words, Lu Ren's brows locked in one place. In this matter, although Lu Ren has been mentally prepared for a long time, after all, he is not that material, and if he really has to face it, Lu Ren will still have no bottom in his heart.

Lu Xun saw the difficulty in Lu Ren's heart, and persuaded him loudly: "But please rest assured, Brother Xian, before the war between the Cao and Yuan families started, Sun Bofu would never dare to move lightly. Therefore, Brother Xian still has enough time to prepare his troops. ”

Lu Ren said: "I've made some preparations, but I can't do this kind of thing." Bo Yan, you should stay with me during this time, although you are still young, I can see that you are very talented in marching and fighting, so you have to give me ideas from time to time. ”

"Be a helping brother!"

Nonsense, if it wasn't for helping Lu Ren, what did Lu Xun come all the way to Xuzhou for? And Lu Ren saw that Lu Xun still looked like a child, and he still had a little bottom in his heart. It's no wonder that Lu Xun's real fame was the battle of Yiling between him and Liu Bei, and Lu Xun was around forty years old at that time, and his abilities in all aspects have been fully exercised. But now Lu Xun ......

"Assuming that Lu Xun's full intelligence is ninety-seven, then is this kid ninety now? Forget it, talent is not easy to talk about, and even if it is a little second, Lu Xun can have more than eighty-five now, it is enough to deal with it, right? Because except for Zhou Yu at the moment, Sun Ce doesn't seem to have an intelligence of more than seventy...... Alas, this is reality, but it's better to be a dead horse doctor alive! (To be continued......)
