Chapter 123 A Letter

Lu Qi sat in the car and thought silently whether it was correct to receive food from the Eastern Wu army. One thousand stones of grain per month would allow the 40,000 troops to drink an extra bowl of porridge every day. He was wondering whether feeding food from the Eastern Wu army would pose a threat to Changzhou, but this was an opportunity to bribe the morale of the Eastern Wu army.

From Sima Ping's words, Lu Qi understood that his Battle of Jurong County had already had an impact on the soldiers of the Eastern Wu army, so he wanted to deepen the scope of some food. The reason he gave the food was considered a matter of fact.

On the way, Lu Qi wrote a military order in the car, and then ordered the two guards to send it to Wuyuan County. Not only did he give 1,000 stones of grain, he also transported 2,000 kilograms of pickled sea fish. The general who delivered the goods told the Eastern Wu army that rice and fish were all traded with Jin State with tea, and it also stated that the grain was not abundant in the military power of Wuyuan County.

In addition, Lu Qi's delivery of rice and fish also provided business opportunities to get a job. He needed a large-scale trade situation between the Tang and Jin countries as soon as possible. Jin countries had a rich seafood and salt, which could be exchanged for the silk, minerals, tea, etc. of the Tang countries. The commercial transactions that went back and forth not only flourished Jin and calmed people's hearts, but also obtained huge commercial tax revenue.

When I arrived at Qianyuan Temple, I saw that I was full of tranquility and the winter and military obstacles made the already prosperous Maoshan Incense become a waste of time, but there were fourteen Taoist priests in the temple.

When Taoist Master Hongyun saw Lu Qi's arrival, he looked calm and calm, as if he knew that Lu Qi would come today. After Lu Qi and Li Xuexin paid homage to Hongyun, they went to pay homage to Taoist ancestors. After that, they met with Taoist priests, Hongyun showed indifference, and most of the other Taoist priests looked surprised when they saw it.

After worshiping, Lu Qi, Li Xuexin, Jin Zhu, went out of Qianyuan Temple to climb the mountain to see the scenery. After a while, he stopped at a peak rock. Lu Qi stood in the distance and looked at the southeast direction, thinking about something.

After a long time, Li Xuexin came over and stood together and said softly: "Does the master miss the child?"

Lu Qi nodded, turned his head and smiled, "I, a father, cannot be guarded by my child when he is born."

"The master is an extraordinary person, so he will naturally be different from ordinary people. The master's gains, ordinary people look up to, ordinary people's gains, the master envies, and life is complete and ill, which is the ultimate truth of heaven and earth." Li Xuexin said softly.

Lu Qiyi smiled and whispered: "Xuexin, you have made me fulfill the achievements of ordinary people, how about you?"

Li Xuexin's cheeks were dizzy, she was silent for a moment, and whispered: "I don't want to be before my mistress."

Lu Qi nodded clearly and looked into the distance. After a while, Li Xuexin said in a low voice: "Master, Siyu and Sizhu, can you marry outside?"

Lu Qi turned his head in a daze, looked at Li Xuexin and said, "What does it mean?"

Li Xuexin hesitated for a moment and said in a soft voice: "Li, who was born in me, has broken blood. I want Sizhu and Siyu, the children in the future, to continue the Li family's incense."

After hearing this, Lu Qi calmed down and said gently: "Siyu and Sizhu, they can marry outside, but I don't want them to bear the responsibility of the Li family's inheritance, nor do I want to force them to marry."

Li Xuexin was stunned, nodded with her eyes down and said, "I understand."

"You don't understand. What I mean is that I don't want Siyu Sizhu to lose a life that can be chosen by herself. If you want to continue the Li family incense, that is the responsibility you should bear and should not be imposed on your sisters." Lu Qi said gently.

Li Xuexin looked at Lu Qi in surprise. Lu Qi also looked at her and said gently: "I can agree. Your and my child's surname is Li, but as a mother, you have to bear the fact that the child who has continued the Li family's incense can only be a Duke and will never have the chance to be king."

Li Xuexin looked confused when she saw this, and turned her head to look into the distance. She originally wanted one of her sisters to take responsibility for continuing the Li family incense. Unexpectedly, Lu Qi actually pushed the blame to her. If her and Lu Qi's children could not be crowned king in the future, the child might resent Li Xuexin. As a mother, how could she be willing to bear the resentment of the children?

"Xuexin, being a Duke is already rich and prosperous. Thank you for your tolerance." Jin Zhu suddenly persuaded softly behind her.

Li Xuexin was shocked, then turned around and said respectfully: "I thank Master for being tolerant."

Lu Qi nodded and said, "Since you have a choice, I won't say much, but don't worry, I won't lose money to our children. What you said is that life is complete and lacks, maybe you can make up for it with other things."

Li Xuexin nodded silently, and suddenly stretched out his jade hand to hold Lu Qi's left hand. Lu Qi smiled and turned his head to look into the distance. He liked Li Xuexin. Not only did he like Li Xuexin's beauty, but he also liked Li Xuexin's loyalty. With Lu Qi's current possession, he would not lack beauty, so his heart unknowingly paid more attention to the loyalty of the people around him.

"Sister Jin Zhu, when I leave Jiangning, you go to Shezhou with me." Lu Qi said gently.

"Master, the matter of the princess's mansion needs help from me." Jin Zhu said softly before leaving.

Lu Qi grabbed the golden bamboo and jade hand with his right hand and said gently: "I am in Shezhou and need a business person from the Prime Minister. Here in Jiangning, Qingwen will be the manager."

Jin Zhu hesitated for a moment and said softly: "It's not good if I only go with the master."

"I can't have been in Shezhou all the time. Xiao Fu will know what I want to do." Lu Qi said gently.

Jin Zhu was stunned and nodded. In fact, she didn't know that Lu Qi had established Jin State, and even occupied Changzhou and Suzhou. Her previous persuasion was out of a kind of friendship, but she vaguely felt that Lu Qi was planning something.

Jin Zhu has always been in charge of Jiangning. Xiao Fu is afraid that Jin Zhu will be forced to confess, so now, only Qingwen and Li Xuexin know about Jin State in the princess's mansion, and they are almost inseparable from Xiao Fu.

Two hours later, Lu Qi and his party returned to Qianyuan Temple. He didn't expect Hongyun to hand over the letter to Lu Qi, saying that someone sent it.

Lu Qi looked at the strange letter: "Chu destroyed Wei, and half of the good fortune and disaster. Yuwen was a tiger and wolf man, no less shallower than the Tang master. He immediately increased 50,000 troops to Jingzhou, stationed in Jiangxia, and 50,000 troops to the public security. Beware of Zhou and Wei collusion into Jingzhou. If Jingzhou is defeated, Jin State will be in danger. In addition, Jin State was first established, perhaps it was powerless to destroy Wei, but he could not sit idly by the Wei State. He should occupy Huarong County to station troops and force Wei State to station troops to compete with each other." The signature is "a prisoner".

After seeing this, Lu Qi's face changed. The font was very familiar. He was the same as Chu Ba at the time. This was actually the military text written by Wang Wenhe to him. He told him straightforwardly what to do and also straightforwardly that he knew that Lu Qi was the King of Jin.

Lu Qi took the letter and was determined to make a decision. First of all, should he believe Wang Wenhe's letter? He was not close to Wang Wenhe and had never met him before. However, the fact that Wang Wenhe was unwilling to serve Lord Li should be disappointed with Lord Li, so he might be inclined to Lu Qi in resentment.

However, Wang Wenhe was an old minister of the Tang Kingdom after all. Was he really willing to assist his former subordinate soldiers? If Lu Qi followed Wang Wenhe's suggestion, it would have caused the weakening of the troops east of Ganzhou. During the period when Lu Qi became the Emperor of Yin, he specially stationed the most military forces in Ganzhou, with the purpose of being able to echo east and west, so he could only send troops from Ganzhou to add troops to Jingzhou.

However, Lu Qi also attached great importance to Jingzhou's defense before, stationed 150,000 soldiers in armor, 110,000 soldiers from the Han River, 20,000 Jiangxia, and 20,000 Jiangling. Moreover, Jiangling could also receive support from the military power of Lizhou.

Jin State needs security and cannot recruit more military power. Now Jingzhou has 150,000 troops and Lizhou has 50,000 troops. General Gu's Tanyun Army Mansion has 200,000 troops. Xu Ming of Jingjiang Army Mansion has 200,000 troops. Longyuan Army Mansion has 40,000 troops. Jin'an Army Mansion has 60,000 troops. Huben Army Mansion has 100,000 troops. Ganzhou has 300,000 troops. Haizhou has 100,000 troops. Most of them are engineers without weapons.
