Chapter 405 I really can't see through you, Lu Yuqi (thanks to [Guo Shao]'s
The steel plant is about to get back on track.
Whenever Tian Chou thinks that one hundred thousand kilograms of steel will be produced every day in the future, he feels that the world has become a little crazy.
Give Lao Cao a few years, and every soldier under his command will be armed to the teeth. Who else in the world can stand up to Lao Cao?
Looking at Lu Yan who was discussing with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei when Cao Cao would send troops to Jingzhou or Jiangdong, Tian Chou couldn't help but started to feel sorry for Liu Biao and Sun Quan, "Liu Biao and Sun Quan are also considered outstanding people, but they still stayed after all.
On the 'human' level, everyone seems so small and pitiful in front of monsters..."
Tian Chou suddenly felt that his decisive move to defect to Cao Cao, "It was really very wise!"'
...
Although Guan Yu doesn't like to talk much, he is actually the most annoying person.
It's not that Lu Yan doesn't want to give them a chance,
It's just that they don't have cavalry under them. On the northern plains, especially when fighting against the foreign races that come and go like the wind, the infantry's more important function is to provide logistics and clear the ground.
You want to use infantry to counter cavalry? That's not realistic.
If you form an formation with heavy armored infantry, people will not look down on you at all.
Therefore, the elite infantry under Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are mostly used to suppress banditry and maintain public order in the vast land of Youzhou...
Lu Yan repeatedly promised Guan Yu and Zhang Fei that he would give them the opportunity to lead an army alone in the future, and he was able to escape.
After leaving Dai County, Lu Yan visited Jixian County again and met Yan Rou, the captain of Wuhuan School.
Yan Rou doesn't seem to have much fame in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but in history, he is a very remarkable figure.
Yan Rou was captured by Wuwan and Xianbei when she was young, but gradually gained their trust.
After Liu Yu's death, Yan Rou was elected as Wuhuan Sima by Xian Yufu and others, and contacted Xianbei to avenge Liu Yu and confront Gongsun Zan.
In history, Yan Rou guarded the north and commanded the troops in Youzhou. Not only did Cao Cao treat Yan Rou like his son, Cao Pi also regarded Yan Rou as his brother.
In this life, Yan Rou surrendered to Cao Cao during Cao Cao's Northern Expedition. Later, the three counties of Wuhuan were destroyed. Cao Cao worshiped Yan Rou as the Wuhuan captain and guarded nearly 200,000 Wuhuan people who were captured from Liucheng.
He did not participate in the crusade against Wuhuan in the three counties, but he still became the captain of Wuhuan in accordance with the historical trajectory. However, he lost the title of Marquis of Guannei due to lack of merit.
Yan Rou is a man of both civil and military skills, and is a great talent who can stand alone.
Lu Yan specially summoned Yan Rou out of his interest in the great talent who "guarded Cao Cao and Cao Pi for twenty years" in history.
"The last general, Yan Rou, meets Lu Xiuqi!"
Lu Yan looked Yan Rou up and down for a while and found that in addition to his tall and majestic appearance, his eyes also revealed a certain agility.
Seeing Lu Yan slightly nodding his head, Tian Chou, who had always known Lu Yan to have the ability to recognize people, suddenly asked: "Lu Qiaoqi's ability to recognize people is well known all over the world. What do you think of Captain Yan's ability?"
After hearing Lu Yan's words, Yan Rou suddenly became nervous. Of course, he also knew about Lu Yan's record and reputation in recommending talents.
"I don't know what kind of evaluation I will get, I just hope it won't be too bad..." Yan Rou couldn't help but pray in her heart.
Lu Yan naturally observed the tense state of Yan Rou's muscles at that moment, and smiled in his heart: "It seems that everyone cares about other people's evaluation of themselves."
Tian Chou's whim is like reaching the most important fork in the road in life for Yan Rou. For him, Lu Yan's evaluation almost determines the height he can reach in the future.
In just a few breaths, to Yan Rou, it seemed like a century had passed.
After a few breaths, Lu Yan suddenly shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity... it's a pity..."
Yan Rou saw Lu Yan shaking his head, and his heart suddenly dropped.
Even Tian Chou was disturbed by Lu Yan's behavior and quickly asked: "What a pity? What's a pity?"
"What's a pity? It's a pity that the position you are sitting on now belongs to Yan Rou..." Lu Yan complained in his heart, but he said: "It's a pity that Yan Xiaowei can suppress the aliens in the grassland with force, and governs a state with literature.
land...but now he is just a small Colonel Protecting Wuhuan."
"Gah?" Yan Rou's heart, which was falling rapidly, suddenly hovered in mid-air, and was even being lifted up rapidly, "What did he just say? Did he mean overkill and underuse???"
Lu Yan's evaluation of Yan Rou is not very high.
After hearing this, Tian Chou was stunned.
After a while, Tian Chou came back to his senses. He said with a bit of resentment in his tone: "Can Lu Qiaoqi please finish your sentence at once next time..."
"Hahaha!" Lu Yan laughed contentedly after his little evil in his heart was satisfied: "I have a lot of talented Han people. With you here, the barbarians in the north will have to suffer!"
"Hehehe..."
"Hahaha!!"
Tian Chou and Yan Rou also laughed together with Lu Yan.
After laughing, Lu Yan was still ready to see how much good stuff Yan Rou had.
So, Lu Yan asked Yan Rou: "Captain Yan, what do you think about dealing with the barbarians?"
Yan Rou also knew that this was because Lu Yan was taking the exam, so he did not dare to neglect at all, and replied: "General, I am now in Zheng'an Town. Lu Xiuqi, you have previously designated some policies to educate the people of Wuhuan.
But the general believes that the Hu people are ruthless in their bones, and they have always only advocated force..."
Speaking of this, Yan Rou glanced at Lu Yan, as if observing whether his words would make Lu Yan unhappy.
From the outside, Lu Yan looks like a powerless scholar... In fact, at first glance, most people will subconsciously regard Lu Yan as a civil servant who lives in a temple and does not eat the fireworks of the world.
.
What those civil servants like most is to demonstrate the "style of a great country" and "conquer people with virtue".
But they don't know how many soldiers and people at the border lost their precious lives in order to maintain these false reputations.
Lu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Do you think Huairou is useful to the Hu people?"
"Huairou?" Yan Rou wanted to express her disdain with a sneer, but because Lu Yan's official position was too high, Yan Rou, who had climbed up from a pile of slaves and had already become a veteran at a young age, naturally couldn't.
Will take the initiative to get into trouble with the civil servants.
After thinking for a moment, Yan Rou explained in as euphemistic a manner as possible:
"From the general's point of view, adopting a gentle policy towards the barbarians is just feeding the wolf with one's own body.
These grasslands are satisfied and have no idea of righteousness and gentleness. Not only will they not be grateful, but they will think that the big man is weak and can be expected, which will encourage their greed.
Once a grassland nation occupies the entire grassland, they will covet the richer Han territory. After occupying a few small Han cities, they will make further progress and want to occupy larger and more cities!"
Wasn't the original Three Commanderies of Wuhuan what Yan Rou said they were?
After hearing Yan Rou's words, Tian Chou couldn't help but nodded in agreement, "The prairie people who worship wolves are greedy, cunning, and never satisfied... The result of being blindly tolerant is tantamount to raising tigers."
Lu Yan's expression didn't waver at all from beginning to end, and Yan Rou couldn't tell what Lu Yan was thinking.
Just when Yan Rou thought that she might have disobeyed the civil servant master, Lu Yan suddenly asked in a cold voice: "If you want to completely eliminate the alien race, do you think it is possible to achieve it now?"
