Five hundred and three
"I knew you dared to come. www.biquge.info The world only knows that Wu Hou is good at governing the country in peace, but they don't know that Wu Hou's courage is not inferior to his father and brother. ”
Sun Quan sat down opposite Lu Ren with a big grin, and stretched out his hand to scoop up the wine himself, but Lu Ren waved his hand and stopped: "Wait a minute, let me take the first sip first." ”
Sun Quan sneered: "No need! How can you, Lu Yihao, be a dove person? ”
When Lu Ren heard this, Sun Quan snatched the wine, and then said in a deep voice: "Since you know that I am not a dove person, why do you want to provoke me?" ”
Sun Quan said: "In troubled times, how can you be lonely and eliminate future troubles?" ”
Lu Ren smiled faintly: "That's right." If I were you, I might be restless. It's just that Zhongmou brother, many times you should trust your friends. Even if you don't trust your friends, you should believe in a potential word...... The potential is man-made. If I move your Jiangdong, will it really do me any good? ”
Sun Quan said: "Who can say this kind of thing? ”
Lu Ren picked up a scroll of charts from his hand and threw it to Sun Quan: "I won't say anything about you, because you don't have my knowledge, and you don't have the maritime strength that I have built up after many years of painstaking operation in Yizhou." I gave you this chart to let you know something by the way...... Land? How much do I want, why should I bother to fight with you for Jiangdong? ”
Sun Quan suspiciously unfolded the chart and glanced at it, and the person froze. By the way, the chart that Lu Ren threw to Sun Quan was a map of the waters of Southeast Asia in the north and the region of Burma in the west, and it was relatively rough drawn, after all, Lu Ren would not have given Sun Quan a good chart.
looked at Lu Ren and continued: "Actually, for me, I have always been very self-aware, so I know very well that I am not a hero who can compete for hegemony in troubled times, so I chose to take the path that suits me to go." But as you said, I have been enduring for many years, and I have built my navy to prevent you from doing this to me, but how I wish that war between us had never broken out?
"Forget it, it's not interesting to talk too much nonsense between us, I only have one sentence now, you better send a hostage to our Yizhou as soon as possible. As soon as your hostages come, our two families will not fight again, you can deal with Lao Cao with peace of mind, and then plot against your world, and I can also go overseas to occupy no man's land with peace of mind. ”
Sun Quan's face became cloudy at this moment.
Lu Ren picked up his wine glass again and said with a smile: "Zhou Gongjin has returned to your side, but what he said to you, I don't know very well at the moment." But Brother Zhongmou, I can warn you first, if we continue to fight like this, will it be good for you, I think you know it yourself; And my fleet has to go overseas to do business and make money, and I always spend it with you, do you know how much money I will make less in a year? Since there's nothing to do with you and me, what's the point of us continuing to fight like this? ”
Sun Quanfu snorted coldly again and said, "Then why didn't you send hostages to my Jiangdong?" ”
Lu Ren said: "Because it was you who provoked it, it was you who did it to me, of course you have to bear the responsibility, and I still have to explain such a simple truth to you?" This is like two people fighting in the street, and if they are caught in the yamen and asked for the crime, the blame is also on the person who beat someone first. Your Sun Zhongmou was a county magistrate when he was fifteen years old, so this kind of thing should happen often, right? ”
“……”
The charcoal fire in the furnace was burning silently, and occasionally a little sea breeze blew into the furnace, bringing the charcoal fire to flicker and flicker...... At this moment, Sun Quan's face was like a charcoal fire in the furnace, sometimes bright red, sometimes gloomy.
In contrast, Lu Ren was still so calm, and he didn't look at Sun Quan's face almost all the time, just poured himself a drink there.
There was silence in the pavilion on the sea for a long time, Sun Quan finally couldn't hold it back, and said to Lu Ren with deep anger in his tone: "Although you are rich in Yizhou, you are not as powerful as my Jiangdong. Since you don't want to fight with me, you should be sent to me to show your sincerity! ”
Lu Ren smiled very flatly: "Sun Zhongmou, what should I say to you?" Young or arrogant? Repatriated to Wu? Why did I, Lu Ren, send hostages to your Jiangdong? I don't bother to say any nonsense about identity, status, official position, etc., I just say that if I insist on sticking to Yizhou, with the strength of my Yizhou navy, you Sun Zhongmou can really fight?
"Your sailor is known as unparalleled in the world, but it is only unparalleled in the world above the river, and the real battle in the sea and the water battle on the river can be said to be completely different things. Take it as an example, these boats and fighting ships that you have assembled are simply vulnerable in the eyes of our Yizhou Navy on this sea! Or are you not taught enough lessons? Well, you can go back and rearm now, and we'll try another battle with dignity. ”
“……”
Sun Quan wanted to be angry, but when he looked up at the huge and sophisticated Yizhou Navy on the sea more than ten miles away, Sun Quan lost his temper and could only suppress his anger. As a child of the Sun family, Sun Quan's ability to lead troops may not be very strong, but he still has a vision for water warfare. With a glance at this moment, Sun Quan knew that Lu Ren was not scaring him.
Don't say anything else, just say that the fifty gunboats are now parked in the middle of the Yizhou ship array. These fifty gunboats are the elite of the Yizhou Navy, if it were really against Sun Wu's relatively backward fighting ships, to put it mildly, Sun Quan's fighting ships would be directly sunk without even touching the edge.
In addition to these fifty gunboats, the harassing sailors led by Gan Ning and Huang Zhong during this time also appeared. Here Lu Rena is quite a spoof, and actually directly uses the skeleton icon as the exclusive totem of Gan Ning and Huang Zhong's fleet. However, spoofs are spoofs, and the harassment of the coastal areas of Jiangdong during this period of time has caused a lot of trouble for many naval officers and soldiers on Sun Quan's side to see the skull flag now, and their heads will immediately be several times bigger.
There are some other Yizhou Navy, needless to say. Compared with Lu Ren's gunboats and Gan Ning and Huang Zhong's skeleton flagships, these navies are a little worse, but their combat effectiveness is still not to be underestimated. In short, this time, Lu Ren dispatched nearly 300 mixed ships of the entire navy to form a formation on the sea surface of Wu County, and the momentum can be described as quite spectacular. Here you can paraphrase a joke that Lu Ren made to Shirley when he sent out the army:
"Even the Spanish Armada of later generations is nothing more than that, right?"
All in all, Sun Quan knew that if this battle really started, Sun Quan would only be able to maintain a lose-lose situation at most, and after both defeats, the two sides would become a dead-end situation, and Sun Quan would probably be unable to resist Lao Cao's attack in Hefei under the premise of dividing heavy troops to deal with Lu Ren. To put it simply, Sun Quan knew that now was never the time to act with Lu Ren.
Looking at Lu Ren again, he finally looked at Sun Quan's expression seriously for a while, then smiled and scooped a spoonful of wine to Sun Quan and said, "Brother Zhongmou, do you remember what kind of virtue I had when I met you before the Battle of Chibi?" Why do I have such achievements today? Because I can endure it, endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky. You are the hero of the world, you can't even understand such a faint truth, right? ”
Sun Quan snorted lightly, but did not speak.
Lu Renfu lowered his eyelids again, and said indifferently: "Forget it, don't talk about this, let's get back to business." On the issue of hostages, I still say the same thing, that is, you have always wanted to beat me, but I don't want to touch you, so it makes no sense for me to send hostages to your Dongwu, on the other hand, I need this hostage far more than you, because I, the person who doesn't want to touch you, needs a guarantee, and needs you to cast a mouse trap on me. ”
Saying a glass of wine, Lu Ren raised his eyes and looked at the Jiangdong fleet opposite, and laughed softly: "After Gongjin returned to Wu, he should have mentioned to you the relationship between your Jiangdong and my Yizhou, right?" This time, I spent so much time on Zhou Zhang, in fact, I just want to reiterate to you face-to-face, once you lose Dongwu, there will be no benefit to me at all, so I don't want to touch you at all, because I need your Sun family to be stuck in Jiangdong and not let Lao Cao get involved in my Yizhou. Who is Lao Cao? And I, the state pastor, was also given by him, in case he really swept away your Sun's Jiangdong foundation...... In the previous battle of Chibi, the matter of me secretly helping you and Liu Yuzhou will be known to him sooner or later, so do you think he will let me go? ”
Sun Quan waved his hand a little impatiently: "There is no need to say much about these things, Gongjin has already made it clear to me." ”
Lu Ren said: "Since you know, I won't talk nonsense anymore, and you can send hostages over as soon as possible after you go back." Again, I reconciled with you this time, and you solved the crisis this time, and if you don't do it well, you will knife me again. I've already suffered a big loss and don't want to eat again. ”
Sun Quan sneered: "Since you need my Jiangdong to help you block Cao Gong, you will definitely not raise troops to help Cao attack Wu." So what if I don't send you this hostage? ”
Lu Ren smiled: "Ouch, I was kind enough to be honest with you, but you want to play a trick on me, don't you?" Aren't you afraid I'll leave you behind now? ”
Sun Quan also smiled: "You won't!" If something goes wrong with me, Jiangdong will be chaotic, and Cao Cao will take the opportunity to cross the river. In this way, at most, for a year, your Yizhou will also be in the flames of war. If I hadn't understood this verse, and if you yourself had told me about it, I wouldn't have come to this pavilion to interview you in such a big way. ”
Lu Ren laughed again: "Okay, let's just break the jar." Sun Zhongmou, you have to figure out now that the initiative is in my hands, and you Jiangdong are now the fish on the board. The main reason why I am willing to meet you like this now is because I don't want to abandon Yizhou, which I have worked so hard to run for many years...... (To be continued.) )
