The four hundred and twentieth round
(Finally kicked out.) The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info watched the Olympics a few days ago, and the state of the bottle here is very messy, and the pen style is also very messy, and the time is always mistaken. Looking back and looking at it carefully, the bottle wanted to shave its own ear scraper.
Today, I took care of it.,Readjust and make up the previous draft.,That is, from 412, I re-added some missing content and adjusted the order.。 Looking at it now, it shouldn't be a problem. But I'm so tired!
Finally, let's talk about our women's volleyball team. This women's volleyball team is really competitive! As a person with a women's volleyball plot, how excited I will be in my heart, I'm afraid only people who also have a women's volleyball plot can understand. )

In Liu Ye's view, the current Lu Ren sits on Yizhou, although the boundary is not big, but in terms of financial resources alone, it is enough to make people look sideways, plus he captured Guiyang not long ago, it looks like he wants to take Jingzhou in the north, and no one dares to take it lightly.
And in the past, Lu Ren would always come out to remind Cao Cao at the most critical time, or simply send people to help, but this time it was clear that the battle of Chibi could determine the world in one battle, but Lu Ren didn't even let out a fart. If Cao Cao had inquired carefully, he might have been able to find out that Lu Ren had secretly sold a large number of military supplies to the Sun and Liu families. Thinking about the strength of the two families of Sun and Liu, the strength is not weak, if one more Lu Ren is mixed in, Cao Cao's drama will not be able to sing.
In order to avoid this situation, Cao Cao will definitely make a move. This sending a son into the service is a temptation, if Lu Ren directly refuses, then Cao Cao will be prepared, and maybe he will directly cut off business contacts with Lu Ren. You must know that the current business and trade exchanges of the main body of Yizhou are mainly concentrated in Cao Cao's territory, and if Cao Cao ruthlessly cuts off trade, it will have a great impact on both sides.
Although no one can hurt the root, the blow to Lu Ren's ground is definitely not small. For example, the things produced in Yizhou will not be sold within a certain period of time, and the Sun and Liu families will not be able to digest so much, thus forming an overproduction in Yizhou. And things like coal, all kinds of raw materials and the like are mainly imported from Cao Cao.
In Sun Liu's territory, first, the influence of the small-scale peasant economy was more self-sufficient, second, it did not adopt Lu Ren's development method like Cao Cao, and third, there was indeed not enough resources to export in the territory, and there was no way to ensure the demand of Lu Ren's side. Therefore, Lu Ren must always maintain a friendly relationship with Cao Cao. But if he really sends his son into the service, there is no doubt that Lu Ren will be controlled by others. If Cao Cao sent any order, Lu Ren couldn't listen to it.
The two were silent for a while, and Liu Ye opened his mouth and said, "General, are you ignoring it?" ”
Lu Ren shook his head and said, "No, you can't ignore it." You know what I want to do in my heart, Ziyang, if Cao Cao really cuts off trade with us, then we will become very troublesome in the future. Then there are the two families of Sun and Liu, as well as the trade routes in various overseas places have not been fully opened, and I need Cao Cao, the biggest customer, to ensure that the operation of Yizhou does not deviate...... But I also know that I can't send Feng'er to Xu Du. ”
Liu Ye said: "Send an envoy to explain to Cao Gong what is at stake?" ”
Lu Ren smiled bitterly and said, "With Cao Cao's personality and his suspicious temperament, do you think it will be useful to do this?" ”
Liu Ye shook his head.
Lu Ren pondered: "I really don't know which bastard gave Cao Cao such an idea, if he really cuts off the trade route, it will obviously be a lose-lose situation!" Alas, it's a pity that Lao Guo is gone, otherwise he would definitely dissuade Cao Cao. Lao Guo knew that I had no intention of going against Cao at all, and he was the only one who could persuade Cao Cao. ”
Liu Ye said: "If you break off diplomatic relations with Cao Gong, of course, you will lose both, but the two families will not move at all, and the two families of Sun and Liu have fought a great battle, and their vitality has not yet recovered, and they are not able to make plans against Cao Gong and me." Moreover, although Cao Gong's financial resources will decline after cutting off the trade routes, the world has half of it, as long as the law is governed properly, there will still be the capital that can sweep the world, and it is difficult to say here after Cao Gong swept the world.
"I think that Sun and Liu still have different intentions, even if the lord joins in, he will have the same thoughts, and it is impossible to really achieve the goal of joining forces to resist Cao. Maybe Cao Gong will also borrow some tricks to drive a wedge between the three families, so that the three families will lose themselves in infighting, so that he can sit and reap the benefits of the fishermen. General, this plan is very poisonous, and it must be guarded against. ”
Lu Ren put his hands behind his back and nodded, "I know it in my heart...... Why don't we send someone to Lao Cao first, and have a good talk with Lao Cao? It's this envoy I don't know who to send. ”
Zhao Yu? Forget it! Believe it or not, Zhao Yu was forced to stay by Cao Cao as soon as he passed? Besides, isn't Zhao Yu still in Guiyang, Jingnan?
Liu Ye thought for a moment and said, "How is Guo Yi?" In terms of relatives, Boyi is the son of filial piety, and Cao Gong will not embarrass him when he thinks of his old feelings. Moreover, Boyi is still in Yingchuan for filial piety and filial piety, and it will not take long to go to Yecheng, and the general only needs to send a capable person with a letter to Boyi. ”
Lu Ren said: "For now, I can only do this, and I will repair the letter and let people rush to Yingchuan, and then let Boyi rush to Yecheng...... It's a pity to think about it, maybe it will take two more years for us to open up shipping routes with India, the Middle East, and Arabia, so that even if Lao Cao makes such a threat, I can completely ignore it, but at the moment it is absolutely not. Our current economic operation in Yizhou cannot be delayed. ”
Liu Ye groaned: "The general should be a snake first." If it really doesn't work, it will be delayed, and it will be delayed until we are overseas. And if it's just dragging, it's more likely to be based on the next opinion, and it's relatively much easier. On the other hand, Cao Gong didn't dare to force the general too much, after all, Cao Gong was also afraid that the general would completely unite with Sun Liu. ”
————————————————————
But said that Lu Ren wanted to send a letter to Guo Yi for a few days? The answer is that it will not be a few days! Anyway, a few days later, Guo Yi, who was guarding filial piety for Guo Jia in Yingchuan, received a letter from Lu Ren, and after learning the origin of the matter, he hurried to Yecheng to meet Lao Cao.
It is unknown what the outcome of Guo Yi's mission will be for a while, but Lu Ren really doesn't want to lose the great opportunity he has now. You must know that in the first battle of Chibi, the strength of Cao, Liu, and Sun was relatively damaged, and no matter which side was eager to restore its own strength, the demand for various products would increase a lot at once, in other words, this was a good opportunity for Lu Ren to expand the scope of trade, and then increase his own commercial penetration in the territory of the three parties.
Liu Bei and Sun Quan are good to say that the influence of the Lu clan of Wu County in Sun Quan's territory has been very large, and almost the entire ground of Eastern Wu is covered with all kinds of new agricultural, industrial and commercial strongholds of Lu Ren; Liu Bei was not long after he had just defeated Lao Cao, and he actually had no territory, and his strength was limited after the war, and he urgently needed to quickly restore his economic situation.
So the real key is still in Cao Cao, Cao Cao's occupation of Hebei is already deep-rooted, if he really cuts off trade with Lu Ren, and is committed to developing a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy, for a long time inland Ren will really have nothing to do with Cao Cao.
Relying solely on product advantages to influence Cao Cao's territory, God knows how many years it will take to fully influence, which is a precedent in modern Chinese history. At the beginning, the European powers also wanted to use pure commodity advantages to break into the Chinese market during the Qing Dynasty, but they did not see any effect at all, and later they sold opium, a vicious thing, into China, and also triggered the Opium War, which really opened up the Chinese market.
It is a heinous crime to start a war over something like opium, but in a sense, the Opium War was actually a commercial war fought by merchants for profit. By the time the Chinese market really opened up, the sales of all kinds of commercial products in Europe had already surpassed opium, and things such as "foreign fire" and "foreign cloth" were all over China, and China's economic lifeline at that time was almost no longer in its own hands.
At present, the relationship between Lu Ren and Cao Cao is very similar to the above, but the problem is that Lu Ren cannot poison his own people with vicious things like the European powers. Forcibly use force to blast open the commercial door of Cao Cao's realm? Lu Ren doesn't have that kind of strength, and Cao Cao and his subordinates are not fuel-efficient lamps. Even in modern China, if it weren't for the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government, the European powers would not necessarily have been able to open China's doors. Therefore, how to ensure friendly relations with Cao Cao, and then peacefully open the commercial market in Cao Cao's realm, and then gradually expand the commercial influence is the top priority for Lu Ren at present.
It's just that these things are useless even if they are urgent at the moment. Lu Ren repeatedly explained to Guo Yi in the letter, and at the end, he repeatedly told Guo Yi that in addition to trying his best to let Cao Cao know that Lu Ren did not want to be an enemy of Cao Cao, he also tried to find out whether the Hanoi Sima clan had begun to emerge in Cao Cao's camp.
Because if that is the case, the Xun family may have entered the blacklist of the family that Cao Cao began to suppress, and Xun Yu Xun Wenruo, who was originally highly valued by Cao Cao and could help Lu Ren ensure a friendly relationship between the two families to some extent, may have gradually been suspected by Cao Cao and began to distance himself. Then Lu Ren's strategy here has to be modified to a certain extent.
At this moment, it was already dark, and Lu Ren was sitting alone in the study, supporting his head with one hand, and scribbling on the white paper on the table with the other. What exactly did he want to write Lu Ren didn't know, and he didn't even notice that the pen in his hand was out of ink after thinking about it, and the snow-white white paper was a mess of graffiti. After a long time, Lu Ren came back to his senses, looked at the white paper in front of him, shook his head and smiled bitterly, crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the paper basket, and then laid out a piece of white paper and dipped it in ink, but he didn't know what to write when he picked up the pen.
Sighing and hanging the pen, Lu Ren came to the courtyard and looked up at the moon, his heart was in a mess and he couldn't figure out any thoughts. It is said that the world is impermanent, and Lu Ren also knows that what he wants to do will definitely not be so smooth, but now that Guiyang has just been defeated, seeing that it can be smooth sailing, such a thing has come out at this juncture, how Lu Ren really thinks and is depressed.
How Lu Ren governed the government in Yi, and how Guo Yi went to Yecheng to persuade Lao Cao, these will not mention him for the time being. At this moment, Zhao Yu had already arrived at Liu Bei's territory, and after handing over the peace letter on behalf of Lu Ren and making his intentions clear, Zhao Yu refused the pavilion arranged by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, but lived directly in Zhao Yun's mansion.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang couldn't be clearer about Zhao Yun's behavior, and they also knew that Zhao Yu wanted to personally persuade Zhao Yun, who had always been reluctant to marry a wife. In public and private, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang both strongly agreed with Lu Ren's proposal for this peace. In terms of business, it is not yet time for Liu Bei to come forward to persuade him, as for the private aspect, Zhao Yu is Zhao Yun's own sister, and the sister-in-law who picked out for himself is of course satisfied, and it is of course the most suitable for Zhao Yu to persuade him in private, and there are many things that may only be clear to Zhao Yun's family...
