Chapter 81 Operations Research

Lu Qi shook his head and said, "What he used to do was unexpectedly. Now that Chu has suffered a great loss in the war with us, he should be embarrassed to seek it back. Moreover, the rapid rise of Jin will make Chu think that it is a strong enemy that surpasses Tang."

"So, the Chu State will devote its efforts to deal with our Jin State first." Wang Zhongliang said worriedly.

"It should be true that even if the State of Chu does not receive the support of the Yuwen clan's military, there is a high possibility that it will devote its efforts to deal with the State of Jin." Lu Qiping said with his heart.

"If Chu State had devoted its efforts to deal with us, wouldn't it give Tang State a chance to counterattack?" Wang Zhongliang said.

Lu Qi smiled calmly and said, "It depends on whether the State of Chu has the courage to take risks. The 100,000 troops retreated and formed a camp, so that the Six Banners Army successfully entered the Nandu and joined forces. That is an abnormality, and the purpose has two possibilities."

Wang Zhongliang was stunned and looked at Lu Qi in confusion. Lu Qi continued peacefully: "I am from Xinghua Army and can understand Xinghua Army a little bit. In fact, Xinghua Army has been deeply penetrated by the Yuwen Family and Rong Family. Many generals and officials have been attracted by the Yuwen Family and Rong Family. If it were Wang Wen and Lord, it would be difficult for Xinghua Army to split. The soldiers of Xinghua Army very much respected Wang Wen and Lord. Lord Wang is here, and Xinghua Army is a piece of iron."

Wang Zhongliang changed his color and said in surprise: "So, if Yuwen was willing to betray the Tang Kingdom, then the Six Banners Army that went to Nandu would become the inner supporter of the city."

Lu Qi nodded and said, "So, the first one may be that the Yuwen surrendered to the State of Chu, or that an alliance with the State of Chu, so that he would work together to capture Hongzhou City. The second one may be that the State of Chu retreated into a camp, or that he might have to play the empty camp record. He wanted to boldly transfer most of the 100,000 troops and switch to Ganzhou."

Wang Zhongliang nodded clearly, and Lu Qi said: "No matter what possible, I have to increase my troops in Ganzhou. If Hongzhou and Raozhou are lost, Chu will inevitably turn to attack Jin. I have to prevent problems before they happen."

"What the Lord said is that Ganzhou has already had 180,000 military strength." Wang Zhongliang said.

"Eighteen thousand military strength, sixty thousand is a chariot without weapons, and 120 thousand regular military strength is also a mob, with less than half of the armored forces. If the Chu State transferred 70,000 to Hongzhou and then joined forces with the 70,000 troops from Jizhou to attack Ganzhou, the military strength of Ganzhou would be able to defend the city, and the consequences would drag Jin into the quagmire of war. Therefore, only by increasing troops from Ganzhou can we have the momentum of daring to fight in terms of military morale and military strength, and only by daring to fight can we resist the enemy and occupy the initiative in the war." Lu Qipinghe said.

Wang Zhongliang nodded, and Lu Qi said again: "The State of Yue has agreed to submit, which means that King Yue is a peaceful person. He can transfer 20,000 troops from Muzhou to Ganzhou. In addition, he has to ask a real general to preside over the military affairs of Ganzhou. I will write to General Gu, asking General Gu to lead 20,000 troops to Ganzhou to serve as the commander of Guangchang Military Prefecture, and then transfer 40,000 troops from Ganzhou to Haizhou."

Wang Zhongliang said unexpectedly, "I have gone to Ganzhou for 40,000 troops and will be transferred away forty thousand."

Lu Qi smiled and said, "All the transfers of troops will be carried out in the name of reclaiming Haizhou. If Ganzhou only enters and does not leave, it will become a great burden on military rations. Being a military farmer in Ganzhou will also consume grains. It is better to transfer the military power of farming to Haizhou for dinner, and to transfer the troops in the name of reclaiming Haizhou. This will stabilize the morale of the army and the people. Besides, the Chu State has not yet attacked, but our ancestors are panicked."

Wang Zhongliang nodded in praise, and then went to prepare the four treasures of the study. Lu Qi wrote military orders and letters to Yu Huaxuan, saying that the crisis in Ganzhou was instructed, allowing Yu Huaxuan to understand the transfer of 20,000 troops with good combat power. He also said that in dealing with Yue Kingdom, Yu Huaxuan could only be at ease with him as the master.

Someone who gave General Gu explained the situation in Ganzhou and begged General Gu to be the commander of Guangchang Military Mansion. In fact, there was another reason why Lu Qi asked to use General Gu, that is, Princess Wucheng's mansion no longer exists. Only by letting General Gu off and serve as General Gu as the commander of Ganzhou can he completely tie General Gu to the chariot of Jin State, which was called "Qiuxian and honorable", but in fact, it had the meaning of further allowing General Gu to express his opinion.

There were also letters written to Zhang Hongbo, saying that if General Gu left, he must defend against the attacks of Yue and Zhou. Yue may not dare to attack Jin now, but perhaps with anger and unwilling attitude, he intends to gather heavy troops to retake Suzhou. Moreover, although Yue has been vain and surrendered to Jin, it is very likely that there is still a dark alliance with Zhou.

After finishing his official business, Lu Qishu wrote many greeting letters to his relatives in Suzhou, and only then did the four guards send the letters. This time, the transfer of troops and duties has another important significance, that is, the military strength of the military government does not necessarily belong to the military government for a long time, but can be transferred from another military government at any time according to the military orders of the King of Jin's military government.

Next, Lu Qi stayed in Poyang County and looked at the information collected by Wang Zhongliang with peace of mind. Wang Zhongliang collected a large amount of matters about Raozhou, Hongzhou and Jiangzhou, among which the changes in military strength and officials were particularly detailed.

From the information, Lu Qi found why Wang Zhongliang was worried about the Yuwen family. The reason was that in Raozhou, many officials and big families who had relationships with the Yuwen family often gathered together, which caused the possibility of collusion.

In addition, the military power in Jiangzhou has also quietly changed a lot. The military power guarding Jiangzhou is mainly local army and 70,000 Fenghua Jiedu army. The information collected by Wang Zhongliang shows that the local generals and Fenghua army generals have been replaced. The replacement of generals must be illegal, and there is no court order.

The generals of the Jiedu Army and the local army generals replaced? Lu Qi felt puzzled after reading the information. If the Yuwen family was making trouble, what was the purpose of replacing the generals? Should they use the generals of the Jiedu Army to control the local area, or use the local generals to control the Jiedu Army? However, if there is no imperial decree from the court, it is certain that the Yuwen family is already preparing to betray the Tang State.

Lu Qi waited for ten days in a quiet manner, and finally waited for the messenger back to Suzhou. General Gu agreed to lead 10,000 troops to Ganzhou, but put forward the conditions. First, he could not disclose his true origin to the soldiers of Ganzhou. He changed his name to Gu Chuyun, and second, his son became the commander of the 10,000 troops and stayed on the front line of Kunshan, Suzhou.

Lu Qi was certainly willing to agree, but the messenger told him again that before he came back, General Gu had already led 10,000 troops to Donghai County and responded to Lu Qi's request with his actions, which was equivalent to indicating that Lu Qi would agree to his conditions.

When Lu Qiyi heard that he didn't have to reply, he wrote a secret letter to the military commanders in Ganzhou, bluntly explaining the crisis of the possible attack of Chu State, and letting the military commanders fully support General Gu's military management and transfer. Especially in the letter to Zhang Ji, he bluntly told Zhang Ji that after he became the commander of Guangchang Military Palace, he should not have any resistance, and seriously learn from General Gu first, and praised General Gu as a veteran general who was not inferior to Wang Wen and Lord.

In addition, Lu Qi also wrote a letter to Xin Qin'er, asking Xin Qin'er to issue an order to transfer troops in the name of the King of Jin's military office, and also to mobilize the Ganzhou military farm to Haizhou. People must be encouraged to promote it, telling Haizhou that it is a good place with a pleasant climate. It only takes a year and a half to return to Ganzhou. When you go to Haizhou, you can see the magnificent sea, eat delicious seafood, and even bring back rare commercial goods from overseas countries.

Lu Qi set off and took ten guards to Nandu slowly. Lu Qi already knew that like Jiangning, Nanchang County and Xinjian County under his jurisdiction were in the same city. Unlike Jiangning, Nanchang Prefecture also governed Jinxian County, Gao'an County, Fengcheng County, Xinwu County, and Jianchang County. Now Nanchang Prefecture has become a battlefield, and it seems that only an isolated city in Nanchang Prefecture has been left, and it has not been set foot by the Chu army.
