The four hundred and ninety-eighth round

(Yesterday's National Day, the bottle took a break, everyone can understand it!) )

――――――――――――――――――――

"Mr. Ziyang, please rest assured, I have already sent Xizuo to Jiangdong, and there should be news back in the next two days. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info In addition, just last night, there was news that came over......"

"What's the news?"

"The news said that Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu had met several days ago, but because something happened in Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang temporarily returned to Jingzhou to help Liu Bei deal with it. Counting from the distance, Zhuge Liang should have arrived at Zhou Yu again now. ”

Lu Ren picked up the words: "Ziyang, you may not know that although the Sun and Liu families are allied, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu are a pair of rivals, and Zhou Yu wants Zhuge Liang's life to go crazy." But now at this time, Zhuge Liang dares to run to see Zhou Yu, so what does this matter mean?

"In terms of strategic vision, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu are among the best people in the world, the two of them met but did not have any disputes, I think the conclusion can only be one...... Shirley, if nothing else, I think we need to be prepared to welcome the envoys sent by Liu Bei and Sun Quan. If it is Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu who come, then our Yizhou will be lively. ”

Saying that, Lu Ren smiled again, and muttered secretly in his heart: "The top three military divisions of the Three Kingdoms period are together, which is something that has never happened in the original history!" ”

――――――――――――――――――――

Yizhou, Keelung Wharf.

It has been two days since Sima Yi arrived in Yizhou, and it is said that he should have rested enough, and according to his identity and mission, he should go to see Lu Ren as soon as possible. However, Sima Yi did not do this, but ran back to Keelung from Mangjia in a good way, and at this time he was visiting Yizhou under the guidance of the guide sent to him by Lu Ren, avoiding talking about his mission to Yizhou this time. And when the guide officer occasionally asked Sima Yi, Sima Yi just smiled and responded to Yun: "Since you haven't been summoned by Lu Yizhou, how can you make a mistake in the future?" ”

It means that if Lu Ren doesn't summon him as an envoy, Sima Yi will have no choice. Of course, these words quickly reached the ears of Lu Ren and Shirley, and after the two of them glanced at each other, Lu Ren scolded with a half-straight and half-fake smile: "I really deserve to be one of the best old foxes in the Three Kingdoms era, and a casual word can pass the blame on our heads." ”

But having said that, anyway, Lu Ren at this time also wanted to delay time, so he followed Sima Yi's idea. He doesn't ask to see him, does he? Lu Ren simply didn't summon Sima Yi, so let's just drag it out.

In addition, for Gan Ning and Huang Zhong, who were still fighting guerrillas in the coastal areas, Lu Ren sent an order to slow down the offensive of Gan Ning and Huang Zhong a little, and to change the main target to the places where Sun Quan's coastal areas could gather ships, and not to harass ordinary counties in the coastal areas too much.

Because Cao Cao is now stationed in Hefei, Sun Quan has to gather enough troops from all over the territory to fight Cao Cao. As for Yizhou, Sun Quan can't get over without a large-scale ship force, so Gan Ning and Huang Zhong's current task is to capture and burn Sun Quan's ships and docks as soon as they find signs of shipbuilding and port construction in any part of the coastal zone of Sun Quan's territory, so that Sun Quan can't do anything about Yizhou.

Gan Ning and Huang Zhong's affairs don't have to go through Yizhou itself, and it doesn't make much sense to say more. It is only said that the current Sima Yi is hanging out here in Keelung, although his expression is as plain as usual, but the shock in his heart is one after another.

Sima Yi: Who is that? The vision is absolutely poisonous! Don't look at it, he has only been here in Yizhou for two days, but Sima Yi can already see that the wealth here in Yizhou is far beyond his imagination. In addition, a large number of novelties here in Yizhou also opened Sima Yi's eyes.

To put it mildly, Sima Yi came to Yizhou, as if the countrymen from the backward areas of later generations suddenly came to the bustling metropolis, and they were completely dumpling. This is also fortunate that Sima Yi has served as the assassin of Xuzhou in the past few years, and the trade between him and Yizhou is very close, and he has seen a lot of things, otherwise it is really impossible to say how much Sima Yi will be surprised, and it is possible to be frightened by a lot of things.

Of course, the soil buns are the soil buns, and other soil buns may be dazzling and have a crash, but Sima Yi is not a good stubble. In contrast, Sima Yi will look at Yizhou from the perspective of a politician, military strategist, and strategist.

As Lu Ren speculated, although Sima Yi was sent to Yizhou by Lao Cao this time, Sima Yi never wanted to help Cao Cao persuade Lu Ren to send troops to help Cao Cao conquer Sun Quan. On the contrary, Sima Yi wanted to try to prevent Lu Ren from sending troops.

As a very ambitious figure, he Sima Yi needs a situation where all parties are still divided, so that it can become a big stage for him to display his ambitions. And limited by his own historical limitations, although Lu Ren's previous battles shocked many people, Sima Yi didn't think much that Lu Ren, a prince who only owned a barbarian land and an overseas island, was rich, but he didn't really have the strength to make Sun Quan unable to take care of each other. So at the beginning, Sima Yi thought that his goal would be achieved easily. But after actually arriving in Yizhou, Sima Yi's first thought was that he was wrong, and he was very wrong!

First of all, in terms of population, the population of Yizhou itself at this time was about 300,000, and in Sima Yi's view, this is already a large state with a large population...... It can be made clear here, for example, that during the Taoqian period of Xuzhou, the total population of the entire Xuzhou region was only about 600,000, but it was already one of the richest prefectures and counties at that time. After years of war and chaos, the population of each state and county has been greatly reduced, and the 300,000 people in Yizhou can actually be linked to the big state and county.

With a population of more than 300,000, if the army is recruited according to the government military system, it can be said that it can gather 20,000 or 30,000 troops. What is the concept of 20,000 or 30,000 troops? Not much to say, when Lao Cao fought the battle of Guandu, the assembled troops were only about 30,000, and Lu Ren's 30,000 troops were not to mention pressing on Sun Quan's land, even if it was pressed to the land of any family, no family would dare to ignore it.

At least at this moment, Sima Yi was secretly crying out in his heart! Xin said that fortunately, Zhang Chunhua had a little more to do with Lao Cao that day, and as a result, he was sent to Yizhou by Lao Cao. If other people were to come and say that Lu Ren was mobilized to send troops with all his might, then Sun Quan would have to deal with Cao Cao's army gathered in Hefei to the north, and it would be difficult to have the spare strength to deal with Lu Ren's 30,000 troops here. As soon as Sun Quan is destroyed, it will not be difficult for Cao Cao to settle Liu Bei, who still only owns one-third of Jingzhou, and Sima Yi will have no chance to come out.

The next thing is to look at the economic conditions, and this is what shocked Sima Yi the most. Anyway, after Sima Yi wandered around for two days, although he hadn't seen the real regular armed forces of Yizhou, he could feel that Yizhou could fully afford to fight a large-scale campaign.

All in all, Yizhou's overall strength exceeded Sima Yi's expectations. Once the troops are sent to attack Wu, under the premise of fully cooperating with Cao Cao's offensive, as long as there is no big mistake, I am afraid that Sun Quan will be half crippled if he does not die. For a Yizhou with such strength, Sima Yi knew that the rhetoric he had prepared was not weighty at all, and it was not enough to stop Lu Ren's intention to send troops.

To be exact, according to Sima Yi's original idea, he wanted to find an opportunity to talk privately with Lu Ren, and then said to Lu Ren that you Yizhou did not really contain Sun Quan's strength, and Cao Cao might not be able to really win against Sun Quan. But the premise of this statement has to be that Yizhou's strength is insufficient, but Lu Ren's Yizhou obviously does not have such a problem, and Sima Yi is simply wasting time if he makes an article on this, and he has to think of other methods......

It must be explained here that Sima Yi is judging from his point of view, which has considerable historical limitations, so Sima Yi still doesn't understand that Lu Ren actually doesn't want to fight this battle again for the time being. For example, Sima Yi felt that Lu Ren could have an army of 30,000, but Lu Ren's idea was that his own military strength could not exceed a certain limit, and if he denied the economic system in the territory, he would have problems. And the differences in the concepts of the times are also difficult to communicate with each other.

I won't talk about this, just say that Sima Yi chose to delay time, and now he wants to know as much as possible about the situation in Yizhou. Because only in this way, Sima Yi may be able to find some breakthrough, so as to dissuade Lu Ren's willingness to send troops, and he can give an explanation to Lao Cao when he turns back.

However, there is a limit to playing, and the military area here in Yizhou, Sima Yi, as an envoy sent by Cao Cao, cannot go without Lu Ren's permission, so although Sima Yi wants to know about Yizhou's armaments, he does not dare to commit such taboo things. After thinking about it, Sima Yi stayed on the main dock of Keelung, because only here at the dock could Sima Yi see a little bit of Yizhou's military strength, especially the strength of naval warfare. Because Lao Cao confessed to Sima Yi, it doesn't matter if you can't convince Lu Ren, you have to find out what Lu Ren used before.

"Zhongda!"

A voice brought Sima Yi back to his senses, and when he looked back, Sima Yi's expression became quite exciting, because he saw that his wife Zhang Chunhua was full of big bags and small bags...... Not only Zhang Chunhua, but even several of Zhang Chunhua's entourage are full of big bags and small bags.

If Lu Ren was here and saw such a scene, he would pat Sima Yi on the shoulder and sigh to Sima Yi again, and said: "Zhongda, if a woman has the corresponding conditions, then it is quite crazy to fight hard, and my Yizhou is a shopping paradise for the current time." ”

By the way, shoppers, shoping is also ...... (To be continued.) )
