"Looking at your general strategy, it is true that you are trying to avoid opposing the Central Plains candidates as much as possible, or it can be said that you are taking advantage of the disputes between the candidates of all parties, so you can't oppose any of the candidates...... Hmph, that's interesting. Although it's not about dominating the world and competing with the crowd, it's just ......"

Lu Ren looked at Liu Ye and asked with a smile, "Just what?" ”

Liu Ye stretched out his hand and stroked/touched back and forth on the map, groping from the north to the south, and then from the south to the range of Southeast Asia, and touched all the way back, so he stroked about two teas. As far as Liu Ye's posture is concerned, it feels as if what Liu Ye is caressing/touching is not a map, but a beautiful woman with snow skin and jade skin. From time to time, Liu Ye also let out a few sneers, and Lu Ren got goosebumps when he heard that he was inexplicable.

After stroking/touching for a while, Liu Ye turned over his palm and stared at the palm, and said in a deep voice: "Lu Yihao, although you don't intervene in the dispute between the heroes in principle, and don't compete with all parties, it seems that you are no different from Liu Biao's sitting. But in fact, when it is roughly completed, it can tease the world's heroes in the palm of his hand. Interesting, that's so interesting! ”

Lu Ren's forehead was slightly sweaty, and the sentence "But he can tease all the candidates in the world in the palm of his hand" sounds really scary.

Liu Ye said again: "Looking at the whole world, only you, Lu Yihao, may have such a bold whimsy...... If this is for someone else, I will probably dismiss it, because it is no different from a fool's dream. But now it is a different thing for you to say it, because you know so much that others do not know.

"Just look at this chart, and think about your vast fleet of ships, you actually have a potential strength comparable to that of any other party...... But you don't have any intention of dominating the world, and you have invisibly conspired with the art of war to avoid reality and make up for nothing. Moreover, the world has been in turmoil for many years, and now it is not a game of competing for the world, but several heroes competing for the world. Especially in the Central Plains and the north, after many years of war, there is an urgent need to recuperate and restore people's livelihood, which will make your business very good. It's just that Yihao, I still don't understand a little, what can you do with so much money and treasures? Is it just that you want to be rich? ”

Lu Ren said: "Of course not. Money is something that is earned and spent, and it has to be spent in a place. If I say that I will use this money and food to build a ...... in the future"

Liu Ye said: "Then go to dominate the world?" ”

Lu Ren shook his head: "No, no, no, I have no intention of dominating the world at all." Not now, and not in the future. If I have the opportunity to form a male division, I may go north to the desert to sweep the Wuhu and promote the power of my former Han Dynasty. ”

"Han Wu Tianwei ......"

Liu Ye read silently. Since he joined Cao Cao, he has secretly hated his identity as the grandson of Guangwu many times, because this identity makes him not reused by Cao Cao. But the sense of glory of the ancestors has not been erased because of this, but it is deeply stored in the bottom of my heart.

Now that it is mentioned by Lu Ren, the blueprint drawn is not out of reach, and Liu Ye is a little excited in his heart. At this time, he glanced at Lu Ren, who was sitting there calmly, and his heart sank slightly, and he forcibly suppressed the excitement that gushed out for no reason, and said in his heart: "Those who do great things should be as careful as stopping water, so that their hearts can be like mirrors." Now that the big thing has just begun, I'm so excited that I'm really far behind him. ”

Gradually calming down, Liu Ye asked again: "Yihao, what do you want me to do when you keep me?" ”

Lu Ren smiled: "If you have some mistakes, Lao Cao still can't take more precautions against me?" In the past few years, Hebei has been the most profitable area for me, so I don't want to have something unpleasant with Lao Cao at this time. There are some things that you and I know very well in our hearts, and you just have to do what you think you should do.

"As for Cao Cao...... The merchants are still selling goods, and it's a big deal that I will give him some money and food every year, and you will write about the situation in Yizhou in the letter, so that Cao Cao feels that Yizhou is okay like this, and it doesn't have to be included in the palm of your hand. Or you can find a way to drag it out with Cao Cao, such as writing eagerly and so on. As long as it can drag on for a few years, and I have more and more people here, and I have enough self-defense ability, we don't have to look at his face, and then we will be bold enough to do what we want. ”

Liu Ye said: "This is not difficult. It's just Yihao, do you really want to wave your army north to sweep Wuhu in the future? ”

Lu Ren raised his head and thought for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "If I have that strength one day, I think I will definitely go and fight a dozen." Ziyang, it's not that I don't want to talk to you in detail, but I can't explain these things clearly, maybe to you it sounds like an idiot's dream. Think about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he was the Xiongnu who went to fight after the rule of Wenjing, when the country was already rich and powerful, and even so, he had to attract some other foreign countries to help. And I'm just going to fight ......."

Speaking of this, Lu Ren couldn't help but shake his head and laugh at himself.

Seeing this, Liu Ye said: "The situation is different. The Wu Emperor Dynasty fought a war to destroy the country, and the scale was naturally very large. And if you just punish the Hu Youkou, it's okay to hit a dozen small fights. But when the day comes, will you let me go? ”

Lu Ren said: "If you want to go, I will never stop you." ”

Liu Ye nodded: "Okay!" Yihao, if you can trust me Liu Ye, I will play a big game with you, and I will try the taste of teasing the world's heroes in the palm of my hand. ”

Lu Ren's forehead was sweating again. vaguely felt that Liu Ye was actually a gambler and a madman who didn't want to die as long as he got the corresponding opportunity. And Liu Ye is now willing to join in, maybe he is gambling with his own life.

Stretched out his hand to wipe his sweat, but heard Liu Ye ask again: "Yihao, you shouldn't have a lot to tell me, right?" ”

Lu Ren nodded: "There are indeed many things I haven't told you." One is that you may not understand, and the other is ...... To be honest, yesterday you wanted to kill me, but now you talk to me all night like this, I can't figure out the details of your heart, and I always have to have reservations. In case you have a scheme, I have a chance to survive. ”

Liu Ye looked at Lu Ren and said, "Even so, you and I have a lot of money." How would you feel if I were still your adversary? ”

Lu Ren thought for a while and said, "It's not bad to have an opponent. Sometimes having an adversary by your side, even if it's a potential adversary, can make you more vigilant. Ziyang, maybe the contest between us is not over yet, and you should not let your guard down either. But I want to say that we are all jealous of Cao Cao, and now we are working together in Yizhou, in other words, we are people in the same boat. Whether we are rivals or not, at least we still have the value of using each other. ”

Liu Ye laughed and said, "Well said! If you say that you are completely at ease with me now, you will be in vain! And you have reservations about me, one is human nature, and the other is that I can see that you really want me to contribute to you, so I will say half and half for you. Okay, let's do that between us. ”

Saying that, Liu Ye looked around, suddenly grabbed a teacup and broke it on the ground, then picked up a piece of fragment and made a cut in his left palm, and a few drops of blood dripped into the wine glass: "I swear to heaven with this blood, I, Liu Ye, gamble on this life, and I will definitely accompany you Lu Ren to play this world gamble to the end." ”

After speaking, Liu Ye handed the fragment to Lu Ren, but Lu Ren looked at the fragment that still had blood stains on the corner, scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Ziyang, let's get rid of the blood alliance, right?" Now that you've decided to work with me, the key is how to do it in the future, these so-called covenants don't mean anything at all. Where will there be fewer people in the world who have broken their covenants? ”

In fact, Lu Ren still had a few words that he didn't dare to say:

"I just can't learn this! Also, scratching your hands at every turn, bleeding or something, do you know that it hurts? Sharing a knife like you can easily get tetanus. ”

Liu Ye's face changed slightly at first, and then he laughed and said, "Not bad!" The false covenant of the empty alliance is of little use, what is really done is to do it seriously. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Ye began to think hard about the map again. The map given by Lu Ren has long been beyond Liu Ye's original cognitive range in many places, since Liu Ye is ready to follow Lu Ren, then he has to reconstruct his own thinking system, and this kind of thing is not something that can be set up in just one night, and it is only right to think more when you have time.

――――――――――――――――――――

It's the beginning of the month in a blink of an eye, and the regular meeting at the beginning of this month is a little special, that is, except for Zhao Yu, Guo Yi, Tian Chou, who haven't come back from Lao Cao, as well as guests like Gao Shun and Chen Gong, the rest of the people are almost all here. So much so that Lu Ren muttered to himself in his heart: "Hey, it's really rare to talk about!" There are always people who have not returned from the usual small meetings, and people have never been so together. ”

Laughing and tossing a piece of pastry into his mouth, he munched on it. And his left hand sits Liu Ye, and his right hand sits Xu Shu. Xu Shu didn't move yet, and at this time, Liu Ye didn't know where to get a magnifying glass with crystal lenses, and was curiously using the magnifying glass to look at the book in his hand. Hearing Lu Ren say this, he looked up at the people in the lower hall who had already arrived, and said with a smile: "Yihao, it's almost, right?" ”

Lu Ren waved his hand and said, "Generally, we don't have anything to do, let them fight." ”

Liu Ye actually participated in a regular meeting and knew some things, so he put down his books and magnifying glass immediately, and muttered: "Fighting for each other, the main thing is to fight for a few more people, right?" ”

Lu Ren smiled bitterly: "No way. Now Yizhou lacks nothing, but there is a shortage of people. In particular, there are too few young and strong men to work. ”

Saying that, Lu Ren took the album handed to him by Zhen Mi, looked at it a few times, and then shook his head vigorously. Some people will ask Lu Ren Since he has a certain maritime strength and is located in such a central point as Yizhou, why can't he just go to the four corners to rob people to be slaves? In fact, Lu Ren has not had such thoughts, it can also be said that this is one of the strategies he set earlier, and he has been doing it all the time, but in fact, there are still many difficulties in wanting to do so...... (To be continued.) )
