“…… By the way, Shang Xiang, in addition to these markets and landscapes in Yizhou, how much military strength does Lu Servant have under his command? ”

"Military?"

Sun Shangxiang thought hard for a while, shook his head and said: "There are some soldiers, but there are not many, it seems that there are only about 2,000 people." Brother, you don't know, the vast majority of people in Yizhou are refugees from the north who are fleeing the war, and because of the war in the north, most of the young and strong men have been forcibly conscripted into the army by the Yuan and Cao families, and the people who flee are basically some old and young women, so there are many women and few men on the Yizhou side, so it is not easy to recruit the military strength of these two thousand people. ”

"Only 2,000?"

Sun Quan was happy at that time. What do you say in those times, 2,000 soldiers are enough? To put it mildly, it is not clear that any grass coward who occupies the mountain is the king has more than 2,000 minions under his hands. For example, the Montenegrin thief Zhang Yan, when this guy surrendered to Cao Cao, he was "more than 100,000 people...... Of course, there may not be so many purely combatant personnel, but there are certainly still numbers of 8,000.

So Lu Ren's 2,000 people are really not enough to see anywhere. However, Sun Quan was not too complacent and carried away, because Sun Quan knew that Lu Ren was also the territory of a county, so a county with a force of 2,000 people was actually quite good.

Of course, Lu Ren had more than 2,000 troops. The actual situation is that when Lu Ren went to Jingzhou again in the ninth year of Jian'an, Gao Shun had already helped Lu Ren get an elite infantry of 3,000 people, and then after a year of population explosion, Shirley asked Gao Shun to expand appropriately, so the real situation in Yizhou now is that it has 4,000 infantry.

It's just that where can Sun Shangxiang know about this kind of thing? Moreover, at that time, the newly recruited soldiers were pulled out by Gao Shun for training, and Sun Shangxiang could not see these soldiers. If it weren't for the fact that some things could not be concealed excessively, then Sun Shangxiang might have been able to know less troop numbers.

On the other hand, Lu Ren's 4,000 infantry was nothing more than the most basic. At the same time, it also belongs to the existence of a kind of final line of defense, and the real main military force developed by Lu Ren is actually sea power. And the sea power in Lu Ren's hand is as if he is always running tasks and is haunted, if Sun Shangxiang, who was having a lot of fun in the mountains of Yizhou at that time, could see it, it would be a strange thing!

But in any case, Lu Ren's "two thousand people" made Sun Quan a little scornful, and therefore despised Lu Ren and Yizhou more and more. And in the next conversation with Sun Shangxiang, it was more or less revealed/came out a little bit of this meaning.

If this matter were changed to ordinary people, it might be like this, but the person who talked to Sun Quan at this time was Sun Shangxiang. Sun Shangxiang's character, in modern terms, is a little bit of a big woman tendency, thinking that women are actually not worse than men, plus Sun Shangxiang has a good impression of Lu Ren and Yizhou, so seeing Sun Quan revealing / out of that meaning, Sun Shangxiang is a little unhappy.

After thinking about it again, Sun Shangxiang said to Sun Quan with a little anger: "Brother, don't look down on people too much. Yizhou is certainly because there are few young men and not many soldiers, but in Yizhou. But women can also serve in the army. ”

"What? Women in the Army!? ”

This matter is really not a fantasy, even before the Han Dynasty, there were some things about women joining the army, but in most cases they were just helpless moves, so for Sun Quan at this moment, the so-called "woman in the army" is a big joke at all, but there are still some interests.

Then Sun Shangxiang told her about the Yizhou Women's Legion, and then under the influence of psychological factors. Inevitably, some oil and vinegar were added. However, Sun Quan is not a two-hundred-and-five, for Sun Shangxiang's words. What can be believed and which can not be believed, Sun Quan can still roughly distinguish. However, I have to say that the women's legion under Lu Ren is really like that, much stronger than the hundreds of maids with swords that Sun Shangxiang made by himself.

After listening to this, Sun Quan immediately came to a relatively correct conclusion, that is, the women's army under Lu Ren was just a team mainly responsible for routine security and medical assistance. In other words, it is equivalent to those catchers and officials under the county officials. And the ability of such officials and soldiers in terms of combat effectiveness is basically negligible.

Thinking about this, Sun Quan couldn't sweep Sun Shangxiang's excitement, so that Sun Shangxiang would talk endlessly as soon as he started to open his mouth, so he echoed Sun Shangxiang and said something better. Wait until Sun Shangxiang leaves with a little breath. Sun Quancai shook his head and said secretly in his heart: "There are many mountains and few lands? Are there more women than men? As a last resort, a woman is also a pawn? These are not much different from the news that the craftsmen inquired about. The land of Yizhou itself has many congenital deficiencies, but Lu Ren still has to accept so many northern refugees...... This is also him, Lu Ren and Lu Yihao, if he wants to be replaced by someone else, he may not be able to bring these things down.

"But in this way, it is really a pity for Lu Ren's talent. If a person like him can be used by me, the agriculture and mulberry affairs in my Jiangdong will inevitably be greatly prosperous, and it will be of great benefit to me to build an emperor and dominate the world in the future......"

As soon as Sun Quan thought of this, Sun Shangxiang suddenly turned back again, with a little anxiety in his expression. As soon as he saw Sun Quan pondering there, Sun Shangxiang hurriedly said loudly: "Brother, do you want to fight the idea of Lu Servant and Yizhou?" ”

Sun Quan glanced at Sun Shangxiang, and there was a shallow disdain in his tone: "I'm fighting Yizhou's idea, what's the matter?" Although there are many local products in Yizhou, but the grain is insufficient, this is a congenital insufficiency, if it can be attributed to my Jiangdong rule, it is also beneficial to the people of Yizhou to have enough food; And Lu Servant is outstanding in shooting, if it can be used by my Sun clan, then it will ......"

Sun Shangxiang hurriedly interrupted Sun Quan's words: "Don't think about it, I guessed that you would have this kind of thought." Do you think I would have never mentioned these words to Lu Servant? And what I want to get, Lu Servant shoots them can't think of? I'll just tell you now, if you really make any moves against Yizhou, even if you can take Yizhou, all you get will be a burned Yizhou town.

"And Lu Servant will board the ship early and go to other places to build a foothold again. When the time comes, we will waste money, food, and military strength, and we will only get a useless Yizhou, not to mention, and we will also form a big enmity with Lu Servant. At that time, if Lu Servant shot himself as a thief who crossed the sea, and looted and destroyed the coastal areas of our Jiangdong from time to time, how much trouble would it bring to our Jiangdong? ”

"This ......"

Sun Quan hesitated for a while before asking, "Shang Xiang, you have never had so much thought, so how did you know these things?" ”

Sun Shangxiang said angrily: "Because of these things, people don't avoid talking about me at all!" That's why I said things that even I wanted to get, how could people not think of it. Also, brother, don't think that Lu Servant is bluffing, because as far as I know, there is a big island in Luzon (Manila) in the southern sea of Yizhou, and Lu Servant has already sent his people to Luzon to build villages and towns. So brother, do you think that in terms of the ability of sea navigation, can our Jiangdong be comparable to the landing servant shooting? ”

Sun Quan lost his temper at that time. Jiangdong's naval army is very strong, but it is only a strong inland river, and it is not the same thing at all if it really reaches the sea, right? And Sun Quan is not an arrogant person, how can he not know that his naval army actually has no naval combat ability? As soon as Lu Ren boarded the ship and ran away, Sun Quan really had nothing to do with Lu Ren.

Sun Shangxiang saw that Sun Quan was stunned, and his tone slowed down a little: "Brother, I didn't like reading much when I was a child, so I can't talk about those big truths, but there are still some things I can think of." Take what you just said about wanting Lu Servant to work for you, don't I want Lu Servant to come to Jiangdong to work for you? After all, I'm also a child of the Sun family, okay?

"But brother, don't blame me for pouring cold water on you, with Lu Fu's talent and fame, if he really wants to be famous again and seek fame, why does he have to be under the curtain of our Sun family? I won't talk about Liu Biao in Jingzhou, anyway, I think that if Lu Servant shoots out again, as long as he goes to Cao Cao again, with Cao Cao's love, will he refuse Lu Servant to shoot thousands of miles away? And Lu Fushu was already a high-ranking official close to Jiuqing under Cao Cao's command, if he came out again, it would not be difficult to mix Jiuqing at all, and even the third prince was expected to take office in time. If he can have such a career, what reason does he have to stay under your command? Brother, don't forget what kind of official position you are now. ”

“……”

Sun Quan was once again hit by Sun Shangxiang and lost his temper. Just like Sun Shangxiang said, in terms of strength, Sun Quan is 108,000 miles worse than Cao Cao; On the official position...... Lao Cao is the third prince, what is Sun Quan now? Moreover, Lu Ren has old acquaintances and connections with Cao Cao, and even has some friendship with Emperor Liu Xie, if you really want to become an official and seek a career, it seems that it is indeed your turn to Sun Quan here.

As for the relationship between Lu Ren and Cao Cao...... Lu Ren, Cai Yan, and Guo Jia will definitely not say what they hide in their hearts, Cao Cao knows half of it, and he doesn't know that Lu Ren already knows the real situation, and Cao Cao will not tell the truth he knows, so on the bright side, everyone thinks that Lu Ren and Cao Cao have a little trouble because of Yuan Shang's matter, so Lu Ren will leave Cao Cao in anger.

Therefore, Cao Cao has said more than once that as long as Lu Renken goes back, at least he must be reinstated. And at this point, Sun Quan is really not competitive compared to Cao Cao, what can you Sun Quan do to recruit Lu Ren? Could it be that you really want to give Lu Ren a personal charm of the tiger body? Sun Quan had met Lu Ren before, and he had long known that his little ghost power was of no use to Lu Ren at all...... (To be continued.) )
