"What? Is the heart of the people here in Yizhou? Who are you thinking about? Is it Wen Ji and Xiao Zhen? Or our little sister of the Zhen family? Looking at your fascinated look, you know that you must be thinking about the little sister of the Zhen family! ”

Lu Ren covered his head, looked at Minchan angrily, and knocked back with a brain crash with his backhand, but he couldn't knock it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info coughed dryly twice and put away the message, Lu Ren waved his hand to Minchan and said, "Okay, don't make trouble." Although I'm usually a little, I don't treat you all equally, okay? Besides, on my trip this time, you are with me, and if you want to feed you at night, you will be fed first, and they will have to wait until I return to Yizhou. ”

Diao Chan gave Lu Ren a middle finger to show that she was too lazy to pay attention to Lu Ren, and then the two of them talked a few words about the kind of joke between husband and wife. However, after a few words, the attendant suddenly came to report that the messenger sent by Huang Zhong and Gan Ning from Hepu had arrived, and there was actually an envoy sent by Shixie who handed over the address, just waiting for Lu Ren to summon him.

"Jiaozhou envoy?"

A big question mark appeared on Lu Ren's head, he was fighting with Jiaozhou here, why did Shixie send an envoy? After pondering for a moment, he sat down in the hall of the bamboo building, and first called the messenger to ask for details.

It turned out that in the first battle of Hepu, Huang Zhong and Gan Ning annihilated more than 10,000 reinforcements led by Shiwen and Jiuzhen, and Shiwen was killed by Gan Ning on the battlefield.

At present, Lu Ren's army is approaching the address, and Shi Xie's troops have lost a lot, Shi Xie doesn't know much about military affairs but he also knows that he may not be able to stop Lu Ren's army from attacking next, so he hurriedly sent an envoy to negotiate peace with Lu Ren. When the envoy arrived at Hepu, Huang Zhong and Gan Ning felt that they couldn't make the decision for this kind of thing, and considering that there were too many soldiers in Jiaozhou, and they just needed a period of time to digest and recuperate, so they asked the messenger to rush to Guangzhou with the Jiaozhou envoy to meet Lu Ren.

"I see......

Lu Ren was secretly shocked in his heart, but a sneer appeared on his face, and after waving the messenger away, he asked the envoy from Jiaozhou to be brought in.

Jiaozhou Lai Envoy is a young man of twenty-four or five, and his appearance is not very prominent, but he also belongs to the type that is worthy of the audience, and his gestures are quite a bit of the demeanor of a scribe. It's just that Lu Ren didn't pay attention to these, and what really surprised Lu Ren was that it made him feel calm and relaxed in the enemy camp.

"The guest under the Jiaozhou pastoral tent, Gao Yingda, see Luyizhou."

Lu Ren was slightly stunned, the person who came turned out to be not a descendant of the Shi family, just a guest. The so-called curtain guests, to put it bluntly, are not much different from the diners during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, if the diners are not appreciated by the host and reused, they are purely a type of people who eat mixed rice. Of course, the curtain guests of the Han Dynasty were still much better than the diners, at least in terms of identity, they belonged to the official reserve cadres of all parties, such as Jian Yong and Mi Zhu under Liu Bei, and Lu Su under Sun Quan were the representatives of the Han Dynasty. However, Shi Xie's diplomatic envoy this time only sent a person who was a guest of honor, and it seemed that something was a little wrong.

After a while, Lu Ren thought for a moment and then asked with a smile: "Is Gao Yingda just a guest under the Shijiaozhou account?" I have heard that all the important positions under the account of the state are filled by the children of the scholars, and there are many people of excellent intelligence and eloquence. I thought that the envoy would be a child of the scholar family, but I didn't want to come with a person with a foreign surname like you. Yingda, I want to ask you, and I hope you can answer truthfully, Shijiaozhou sent me with you as an envoy, did you already be frightened after hearing the fiasco of the Jiaozhou soldiers in the first battle of Hepu, and did not dare to risk your life to go to our realm, so they sent you, a person with a foreign surname who is insignificant in their eyes? ”

Gao Yan glanced at Lu Ren, bowed his hand and replied unashamedly: "It is rumored that Lu Yizhou has a keen eye, and when I see it today, it is really worthy of the name. ”

Lu Renxin said, you guys really owe the slightest politeness to the Shi family, it seems that you definitely don't mix well under the Shi family. I just don't know if it will be like Zhang Song's topographic map of Yizhou in Shuzhong, and it will also be a plan to give to the state.

Smiling and putting aside these boundless thoughts, Lu Ren Zhengse asked, "Shijiaozhou sent you to me, what is the matter?" ”

"Tedez handed over the state to negotiate peace with Luyi Prefecture. In the first battle of Hepu, the soldiers and horses of Luyizhou showed their might, and Shijiaozhou was terrified after hearing the defeat of the army, and urgently ordered to see Luyizhou in the future. Shijiaozhou said that after this battle, he surrendered to Lu Yizhou happily, and was willing to pay tribute every year and give gifts every year, and only hoped that the two Lu Shi families could avoid the dispute between the military revolution and be friendly and harmonious. As for Hepu County, Shijiao Prefecture did not dare to ask for its return. Gao Yan came here, and also brought some small gifts prepared by Shijiaozhou, which slightly expressed the surrender of Shijiaozhou. The gift list is here, please take a look at Lu Yizhou. ”

Lu Ren was happy when he heard it: "Oh? Shijiaozhou wants to break the fortune and eliminate disasters and buy peace, right? Interesting, I'll take a look at the gift list. ”

Gao Yan presented a bunch of silks, and Lu Ren opened it to take a closer look. Just looking at Lu Ren, he stuck out his tongue, and there were three hundred catties of all kinds of strange and strange materials alone, and then what pearls, big shells, glass, jade, tortoiseshell, rhino horns, ivory, as for gold and silver coins, it was simply not enough to see, in addition, there were bananas, longans, lychees and other seasonal fruits!

After reading it, Lu Ren's two eyes almost popped out, and he said in his heart: "Obediently Long Didong, fried green onions in lard!" Jiaozhou Shijia is really so rich!? As soon as this first batch of gifts was taken out, I was afraid that not only me, but even Mi Zhen and Zhen Mi would be shocked. And according to the last statement on the gift list, as long as I don't send troops to the address, Shixie will send the same amount of money as this gift every year as a tribute...... In this way, wouldn't I be able to treat Jiaozhou Shijia as my own private bank, and I can get a large amount of interest returns every year? ”

Lu Ren was dumbfounded there, and Gao Yan frowned slightly when he saw Lu Ren's expression, and stopped talking. After thinking about it, Fu lowered his head and waited for Lu Ren to express his position.

A gift list, Lu Ren read it several times, and the initial shock and excitement gradually calmed down. Flipping his hand and closing the gift list, Lu Ren pondered for a long time before asking Gao Yan: "I can't imagine that Jiaozhou, a remote place, is so rich, Shijiaozhou has been here for many years, and his wealth must be rivaling the richness of the country, right?" ”

Gao Yan raised his head and replied: "In front of Lu Yizhou, I really dare not take the four words rich and rival the country. These gifts can be seen by Lu Yizhou, which really makes Gao and Shi Jiaozhou very relieved! ”

Lu Ren shook his head slightly, smiled and rolled up the gift list again, and handed it to Gao Yan: "You are wrong, I don't look at these things at all." Take this gift list and the gifts written in the list back to the address. My soldiers will give you the escort you deserve along the way. ”

Gao Yan was slightly surprised, but there was an inexplicable excitement in his heart. After being stunned for a moment, Gao Yan asked, "But I don't know what Lu Yizhou's move means?" ”

Lu Ren smiled: "What do you mean? Very simple. I sent troops to the address, and what I really wanted was the entire Jiaozhou, not the gifts and tributes of Shijiaozhou. For me, Jiaozhou is a place that I must capture and hold in my hands, and it is not that the scholars still occupy the west of Jiaozhou as a vassal. If you take these things back and tell Shijiaozhou, either he will immediately rearm himself for war, or he will simply surrender to me and hand over the address. You can also tell him that I want to hand over the state because of my purpose. If he is willing to surrender honestly, although he will lose the territory of Jiaozhou, I will definitely not treat him badly, and I will arrange another territory for his family to live in. Didn't he not want to fight, he just wanted to live a good life in peace? The other place I arranged for him would definitely meet his requirements, but he might be a little poorer at the moment. ”

Gao Yan looked at Lu Ren suspiciously for a long time, rolled his eyes a few times, and then bowed to Lu Renshen, preparing to leave the hall. Lu Ren suddenly called Gao Yan and asked, "Yingda, please stop for a while." I want to ask, your main destiny has not been fulfilled, and after you turn around, I am afraid that Shijiaozhou will blame you deeply and no longer regard you as a guest, so what will you do after that? ”

Gao Yan thought for a while and replied: "The mission has not been accomplished, even if Shijiaozhou is not strange, Yan has no shame to stay under his curtain again." After returning to the state this time, he will resign and find another master to vote for. ”

Lu Ren smiled and asked: "When other lobbyists encounter this situation, most of them will try their best to persuade them, but you have not said a few words from beginning to end, and you want to leave after hearing the bottom I handed over." Is it because you can't speak, or is there something else? ”

Gao Yan said: "Lu Yizhou has already made a decision, how can he be a person who can defend himself with a clever tongue? Rather than wasting words here, it is better to return to the address as soon as possible and find another way. ”

"Then in your opinion, will Shijiaozhou surrender as I said?"

Gao Yan closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and replied categorically: "Yes!" ”

"How so?"

Gao Yan said: "Although Shijiaozhou can be described as a generous and modest corporal, he is weak in human nature and does not know martial arts. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the reason why Jiaozhou has been able to end without war is because of its remote location, and it is not the ability of Jiaozhou. At the same time, cronyism, non-scholars can not be appointed, more than ten years of Jiaozhou has long been politically biased, but Jiaozhou all day long to play books do not care, Jiaozhou is not chaotic is really a blessing of God. Now Lu Yizhou is attacking in a big way, the Jiaozhou soldiers have not been wared and the soldiers have not been trained, after the previous defeat, Jiaozhou has no combat power, and the disadvantages of Jiaozhou have been shown but they are powerless. Even if it is useless to fight in vain, Shijiaozhou is weak-hearted, and when he heard that Lu Yizhou can not harm him and put another place in the other, he will definitely open the city and surrender in order to protect himself. ”

Lu Ren closed his eyes when he heard this, touched his chin with a few beards, and said: "It seems that according to the records of the history books, Shixie was indeed busy surrendering and sending hostages as soon as he received Sun Quan's persuasion order, and paid tribute to Sun Quan every year for his own safety, and finally died at the rare age of ninety during the Three Kingdoms period...... In this way, there is a chance that the address will be surrendered without a fight. Well, scare Shi Xie and talk about it! (To be continued.) )
