"By the way, have you received any news about this kid lately?"

In the face of Guo Jia's question, Xun You took Guo Jia's gourd and poured another cup, then narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "Lu Yihao's news, there is really a little bit of it, but it is really not good news." ”

Lu Ren left Jingzhou and arrived at Chaisang in July, and after a toss with Zhou Yu, the time to leave Chaisang was September. And now it's November, and some news has been passed to Xuchang and then to the Liyang military camp here is enough, after all, Cao Cao must have a lot of fine work to settle in the Jingzhou area.

Xun Youle told the incident between Lu Ren and Zhou Yu, and at the end, he shook his head and said: "Lu Yihao really hasn't changed his nature, and when he sees a rare beauty, he will be a little uncontrollable." ”

"Really?"

Guo Jia pondered for a moment before laughing: "If you really think so, you're wrong." It's no wonder that in the old days, although your uncle and nephew had a lot of dealings with him, they could only be regarded as gentlemen's friendships as light as water, and you didn't really know this kid's personality. Coveted Zhou Yu's wife Xiao Qiao? Hmph, whether it's Liu Biao or Zhou Yu, I'm afraid that he has been tricked! ”

Xun You was stunned for a moment: "Fengxiao, what do you say?" ”

Guo Jia didn't answer Xun You's question immediately, but smiled and asked Xun You rhetorically: "If Yihao suddenly appears in front of the lord, or is caught by the lord, how do you think the lord's guild will treat him?" ”

Xun You shook his head and smiled: "Do you need to say this?" The lord will definitely do his best to get him back to work. It's not that you don't know how gratifying the income of the acres of land was when he was in charge of all things in the old days. However, as soon as he left, the farming policies he wrote down were burned down by him, so that the acres of land everywhere could not be cultivated in a way, so that the autumn harvest of the past two years was not a little less than when he was there. It is true to say that he is Xiao Hezhicai! ”

Guo Jiadao: "A talent like him, only a talker like Liu Biao will not care much about him, but Jiangdong Sun Quan is not such a useless person as Liu Biao." Where will this kid be spared? Moreover, this kid is a clan disciple of the Lu clan of Wu County, if Sun Quan can recruit him to the account, doesn't it mean that the Jiangdong Hao clan has begun to fully support the Sun family? However, this kid didn't want to become an official, so it was no different from the beginning. ”

Xun You more or less understood, and said in surprise: "You mean, Yihao is splashing dirty water on himself with this move?" ”

Guo Jia nodded: "After Sun Ce was assassinated, Sun Quan was completely supported by Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu, so Zhou Yu is the head of Jiangdong's military generals. This kid Yihao has now poured such dirty water on his body, if Sun Quan still insists on recruiting this kid, where will Zhou Yu's face go? Maybe with Zhou Yu's ingenuity. I have already figured out the intention of Yihao's move, but Zhou Yu can't accept such a move.

Not to mention that Zhou Yu himself is arrogant, even if Zhou Yu can pull this face, those Jiangdong generals with Zhou Yu as the head of the horse can't swallow this breath. If Yi Hao is added, won't it make the Jiangdong Hao clan and the Sun clan military generals hostile to each other? Although Sun Quan is young, looking at what he has done after he succeeded Sun Ce, it is not difficult to see that he is a completely smart person, and smart people will not do such stupid things. In contrast, this kid Yihao really surprised me, and he dared to use such a trick. Alas...... It seems to be more than it was at the beginning. He's changed a lot, too! ”

Xun You laughed and said: "He didn't have a good reputation for this kind of thing at the beginning, and now it doesn't seem to be a big deal to have such an extra incident, right?" I don't think he cares. ”

Guo Jia shook his head: "It's different." At the beginning, his reputation for this kind of thing was not very good, but when he thought about it, he was not indecent, and there was never anything shameful. Antithesis. In the old days, some of his rumors were so popular that people could talk about them. But this time, he was eyeing someone else's wife, which is really a bit disgraceful. ”

Xun You couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this. At that time, the children of the scholar clan often regarded their face and reputation as more important than their lives, so Lu Ren dared to pour dirty water on his body. It's really a bit difficult for Xun You to understand. After thinking about it again, Xun You sighed lightly: "That's it, he had no intention of pursuing a career in the first place. Now it looks like it's what he wants. Besides, it is also a good thing that he has not been under Liu Biao or Sun Quan, otherwise when he goes south to Jingxiang and crosses the river to attack Wu in the future, he may have a headache because of his existence. Although he is not good at military strategy, after all, he has been in Xudu for a long time and knows too many things. So like now, there is nothing wrong with letting him live his own free life in Yizhou overseas. ”

Guo Jia looked at Xun You and didn't say anything more, but he secretly said in his heart: "Stinky boy, now that things have changed, are you still thinking the same as you did at the beginning?" But why do I always feel that you have other plans in mind now? Alas, if others can't see it, won't I? You've changed a lot since you learned the truth about Wan'er's death from me that day...... I hope you really just carve out a piece of your own world overseas, and there will be no entanglement with the Central Plains. To be honest, I don't want to face you one day in the future. ”

――――――――――――――――――――

Cao Cao and Yuan Shang were fighting on the other side of Hebei, but on the Yizhou side, Lu Ren was rushing to the dock in a hurry. For nothing else, Gan Ning took five boats to the Zhuya area for a drill before, and finally came back after more than three months...... The distance between Yizhou and Zhuya was a bit long at the time, and if you walked by land, it would take three months to make a round trip. But Ganning and they took the sea route, and they could be unimpeded along the way, and they could travel day and night, and the three months were a little too long.

But in any case, the news of the return of Gan Ning's fleet always made Lu Ren breathe a sigh of relief, and he couldn't care about anything for a while, not even his entourage, and rode a fast horse to the dock. By the time Lu Ren arrived at the dock, the dock was already brightly lit, and the boatmen were busy with their own business. Lu Ren dismounted for fear of hitting someone, and then threw the stiff rope to the servants of the dock stable, so he avoided the busy crowd and walked towards the fleet. When he arrived at the dock, the steward here saw that Lu Ren was single, but he didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly called the young men of the two Lu clans who knew martial arts to follow and protect Lu Ren.

Lu Ren stopped there, followed by two conspicuous followers, who stood out in the busy crowd. And Lu Renzheng looked around and suddenly heard a series of bells, and just wanted to find his reputation, a figure had already come to him and laughed: "Lu Servant shoots, it's always been good!?" ”

The person who came was Gan Ning Gan Xingba, who had a copper bell tied around his waist, and Lu Ren hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Brother Xingba, don't come unharmed!" We don't need to say so much polite words between us, I just want to ask you, why did you go to Zhuya to practice for three months? ”

Gan Ning smiled embarrassedly: "It's a shame to say that Gan almost made a big mistake under a moment of arrogance. Originally, it was very smooth along the way, but I didn't expect that two ships hit the reef when approaching Hong Kong and Macau. Luckily, the hull was not damaged much, and it took some time to repair it when it was pulled to the shore......"

Lu Ren suddenly lost his temper. This kind of thing is common even in modern times, so people who know how to transport water pay a lot of attention to shipping lanes in order to avoid this kind of thing. And Gan Ning's wooden ships not only did not sink into the sea after hitting the reef, but they could also be pulled to the shore for repairs, which was a great luck at the time, and there was no way to repair the ship if it took a little more time.

By the way, the names of Hong Kong and Macau in that era Lu Ren were not found, and he didn't bother to check them later, so he directly used these two place names when drawing rough charts. In addition, these two places will be marked out, mainly because there is a distance of nearly 1,000 kilometers between Yizhou and Zhuya, and there must be a suitable transit port in the middle to be prepared.

No matter what, Gan Ning's fleet finally returned to Yizhou without any losses, and Lu Ren's heart naturally relaxed. And Gan Ning is not the kind of person who twists and turns, after explaining the reason to Lu Ren and apologizing to Lu Ren, he suddenly asked out loud: "Is there any wine?" Because of the delay, in Hong Kong and Macao, it is true that fishing and hunting can be used to supplement food, and the water of the Pearl River can be used to replenish water, but this wine has nowhere to be replenished. Gan has really not had a drop of wine on his lips for some time. ”

Lu Ren's current human resources are limited, and he is not able to build supply bases in Hong Kong and Macau, so for the time being, he only uses it as a hunting ground where he can get water and prey. And at this moment, Lu Ren couldn't help but cry and laugh when he looked at Gan Ning's gluttonous appearance. At this time, the dock steward rushed to Lu Ren's side, and Lu Ren asked the steward to get some wine and meat in advance to satisfy Gan Ning's hunger. After thinking about it again, Lu Ren instructed his followers again: "You, ride my horse back, and let Ziliang send some aged wine here." ”

The wine here at the dock is very ordinary wine, and Gan Ning is a talent that Lu Ren attaches great importance to, and Lu Ren doesn't want to lose a part here in Gan Ning.

The attendant answered, but when he took two steps, he suddenly turned around and said embarrassedly: "Sect Master, I'm ...... Can't ride a horse. ”

“…… Steward, go arrange a carriage! It's not very far from my house, and if you don't deliver it within a quarter of an hour, believe it or not, I'll deduct your salary...... The salary deduction will be waived, and I will spank you! ”

The steward and the attendant hurriedly went to do their work, and after a while, the dock steward returned to Lu Ren, and seeing that Lu Ren's other attendant didn't know where he was sent by Lu Ren, he couldn't help but ask Lu Ren with a little worry: "Sect Master, are you alone and ask two more people to give you the right to be guards?" ”

Lu Ren glanced at Gan Ning and said with a smile: "One more move!" With Xingba here, who can hurt me? ”

Gan Ning smiled heartily, and then nodded to Lu Ren. For Gan Ning, this is a way for Lu Ren to express his trust in Gan Ning...... (To be continued.) )
