Suddenly hearing that the situation in Liaodong was unstable, and even caused an increase in the number of displaced people who moved south, Lu Renke felt a little strange.

"How so? There shouldn't be any problems in terms of heirs on the Liaodong side, right? Didn't we receive the news at that time that Gongsun Kang took over the position of Gongsun Du very smoothly? Gongsun Gong took over the title of Yongning Township, and there will be no battle for the throne between these two brothers. Besides, Gongsun Gong is actually a eunuch, and there is no threat to Gongsun Kang, otherwise Gongsun Yuan's seizure of the throne would not be so smooth later. ”

Lu Ren was a little puzzled at this, and Shirley said to Lu Ren after sorting out the information: "Master, you may have ignored some problems. ”

"How?"

Shirley said: "I think, master, you mainly ignore the deterrent power of the top figures in the **** era to the surrounding situation." The stability of Liaodong has always been mainly due to the deterrence of Gongsun Du on Liaodong, and according to historical data, Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong are relatively weak and incompetent people, and after they inherited the position of Gongsun Du, they obviously lack a strong deterrent to Liaodong like Gongsun Du. ”

These words made Lu Ren understand something a little, but Lu Ren did not interrupt Shirley's words, but let Shirley continue:

"Gongsun Du was originally dealt with with a very tough iron fist in Liaodong, and relatively powerful forces like Goguryeo and Karasuma were all scared. In addition, there are many tribes that have not been recorded in the historical records. And this kind of tribal group itself is changeable, and they are only afraid of the Gongsun clan in Liaodong rather than obeying. When Gongsun Du was alive, they were still a little jealous, but after the death of a strong person like Gongsun Du, it was difficult to say about it.

"Gongsun Du was ...... two years ago To be exact, he died of illness a year and a half ago, and it took about twenty months. It can be said that it was just the right period of observation, and those tribes were using this time to observe the successor Gongsun Kang. If the successor Gongsun Kang is still as strong as Gongsun Du, they will naturally choose to continue to submit. But it's a pity that Gongsun Kang is very weak, not as strong as Gongsun Du, let alone a eunuch like Gongsun Gong. Anyway, I don't have a lot of historical data. Gongsun Yuan was able to seize Gongsun Gong's power so easily, which must have a direct relationship with Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong's weakness. ”

Lu Ren interjected at this time: "So you mean to say that the current situation in Liaodong is unstable, which should be caused by those alien groups around him starting to take action against Gongsun Kang?" ”

Shirley nodded: "At least judging from the intelligence information collected so far, this should be the case." The current population base of Liaodong is about 700,000, and a large part of them are displaced people who fled to Liaodong a few years ago. This type of exile itself is very afraid of war, and the murderous index of the foreign groups such as Goguryeo, Karasuma, and Xianbei around Liaodong is very high, and any action will inevitably cause panic among these exiles who have not yet recovered from the fear of war. On the other hand, Gongsun Kang will definitely have some actions on these things, but he can't do it without the corresponding time. ”

Lu Ren muttered: "If it is according to the original historical process. When Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi fled to Liaodong in the winter of next year, they would be beheaded by Gongsun Kang, perhaps it can be proved that by the winter of next year, Gongsun Kang should not have been able to completely stabilize the situation in Liaodong, otherwise Yuan Shang would not have said that as long as he killed Gongsun Kang, he could further control Liaodong...... If Gongsun Kang had complete control over Liaodong and his subordinates listened to him, Yuan Shang would only kill Gongsun Kang to find death for himself. ”

Shirley said: "Master, can we take advantage of the situation in Liaodong?" ”

Lu Ren nodded again and again: "Yes, you can make good use of it." Is the current population base of Yizhou about 130,000 or 140,000? The demographic issue is still our shortcoming. However, because Lao Cao had completed the pacification of Hebei, our original action to move people from Bohai had to be stopped. Otherwise, we will definitely fall out with Lao Cao, but our population problem always has to be solved, and we don't have the time to wait for the existing population to grow at this time. Now there is such a problem in Liaodong, and it would be too stupid for us to make good use of it. ”

After pacing for a few laps and thinking carefully, Lu Ren decisively ordered: "Immediately send a clipper to inform Gan Ning, who is on standby on Jeju Island, and ask him to increase the absorption of the population of Liaodong." Anyway, he was already familiar with this kind of thing. I don't have to explain too much. ”

Shirley immediately nodded and wrote it down, and Lu Ren pondered for a while before adding: "In addition, remember to tell Gan Ning, robbing people is robbing, and don't underestimate the strength of the Gongsun clan in Liaodong." Gongsun Yuan was later able to send a boat group to hook up with Sun Quan, and his maritime strength should not be underestimated. Even at this point. According to the information we have gathered before, if there is any force that can compete with us at sea now, it is definitely the Liaodong Gongsun clan, even Sun Quan at this point is still a little insufficient! In short, tell Gan Ning that grabbing talent is the first priority, and if it is not necessary, don't have any direct conflict/conflict with the sea strength of the Gongsun clan! ”

"I see."

After some more details, Lu Ren and Shirley ended the communication, and Lu Ren found out the relevant historical materials to take a closer look. Looking at it, a very strange smile appeared on Lu Ren's face: "'Taizu is a general of Wuwei, and he is a fellow of Yongning. Du said: My king Liaodong, He Yongning also', then Tibetan seal silk arsenal. Death, Zikang heir, Yongning Township to wait for the title of Brother Gong. It's nine years of Jian'an'...... Gongsun Du seems to be a smart person, knowing that his two sons did not expect that they would not be Cao Cao's opponents after his death, so he didn't want to offend Cao Cao, so even if he said something like that, he still collected the seal ribbon and left it to the two sons, which was regarded as leaving the capital to show favor to Cao Cao for these two precious sons.

And Gongsun Du's approach can indeed prove that Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong are really not very good, and the situation that Gongsun Du can't control Liaodong after his death is completely reasonable. It's just that Gongsun Du is really dead at the right time, if it were a few years later, you might have noticed the threat I had here...... The threat may not be talked about, it should be said that there is still a big impact, so I think it is a little unrealistic to snatch people from you. Hehe, Gongsun senior, I'm sorry! I'll have to grab a few dishes from your table and leave. Liaodong has a population of about 700,000, and if I grab 58,000 of them, your juniors should be able to afford it, right? ”

At this point, some people may say, can't Lu Ren think about occupying Liaodong? In fact, it's not that Lu Ren doesn't want to, but he can't. In a word, Lu Ren at this point simply does not have the necessary military strength to do such a thing. You must know that compared to the current Liaodong Gongsun clan, Lu Ren has only been a few years? And how many years has the Gongsun clan been? Even if the situation in Liaodong is unstable, but the Gongsun family's background does not know how many times thicker than Lu Ren, and it is impossible for Lu Ren to deal with the Gongsun family before many conditions are met.

It is true that the Yuan Shang brothers once had the words that they could replace Gongsun Kang as long as they killed him, but for Lu Ren, it was a little too idealistic. Moreover, if Brother Yuan Shang dared to say such a thing, most of them could use the power of the rest of Karasuma in it, but Lu Ren had a chrysanthemum influence on Karasuma! If you really have enough to eat, you have nothing to do in Liaodong and then pull the flag and shout, and Lu Ren himself will have to face Karasuma in the west and Goguryeo in the east first.

Although Lu Ren is a little bad, he has an advantage that he is very self-aware, and he knows that he is basically equivalent to an idiot in military affairs, so it is impossible for him to be afraid and subdued all the surrounding areas of Liaodong like Gongsun Du. If you can't do it yourself, why take such a big risk? You must know that the price of insisting on taking this risk is likely to be to compensate Yizhou, which has been built so well now.

Moreover, the core of Lu Ren's current strategic plan is to start from Yizhou and advance to the entire Southeast Asia, which is in line with Lu Ren's development process, and the forces in the northern region are complicated, and it is not cost-effective for Lu Ren to go there before he has enough capital, so Lu Ren has not considered intervening in the northern region to fight those forces.

To paraphrase the situation in the online game, it seems to be a strange area, although you can get a lot of EXP, but it is also often the PK of grabbing monsters in the enclosure, and Lu Ren is likely to slow down his upgrade speed because of too much PK in the case of insufficient strength. Since there is a large area where there is little experience of monsters but there are enough and few people come, no one robs this monster, and things are picked up casually, so of course it is to choose to develop and grow in the latter. Maybe you can't directly make any top-notch equipment, but Lu Ren himself can use these low-level but sufficient equipment to break it down into materials, and then synthesize high-level equipment, right? (Please forgive the bottle for writing such a paragraph, the bottle has been busy collecting materials to craft equipment ^-^ recently)

――――――――――――――――――――

So the next thing is interesting, when Lao Cao was leveling the Hebei region and returning to Yecheng to rest, Gan Ning began to carry out a large-scale population movement in the eastern Liaodong region according to the order sent by Lu Ren. However, Lu Ren took into account that Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang would flee to Liaodong to join the Gongsun clan, if Gan Ning did too much to the affairs of the Liaodong region at this time, Gongsun Kang was likely to temporarily take in these two Yuan family boys under the pressure of external forces, not only to deal with Lao Cao's possible attack, but also to use these two Yuan family boys to prevent Gan Ning's pirate fleet, which was very unfavorable for the next step.

Therefore, Lu Ren's instruction to Gan Ning is that he can only suck but not rob, you must know that Gan Ning's "pirate fleet" is already well-known in the Bohai Sea, and if Gan Ning starts robbing, I am afraid that it will immediately attract the attention of Gongsun Kang. For this reason, Lu Ren also deliberately asked Gan Ning to play a scene, that is, Gan Ning's pirate fleet seemed to have left Jeju Island, and the apparent course was to the south, which created a false impression to the outside world that the pirate fleet had completely left this area. But in fact, Gan Ning's fleet can become a large-scale caravan in Yizhou as long as it is slightly transformed, and it is not too simple to move the population...... (To be continued.) )

PS: I'm sorry, but it's finally changed.
