Chapter 124: Military Advisor Yang Kun
Lu Qi thought for a long time, and he wrote a four-character letter and asked a guard to go back to Princess Jiangning's mansion to Xiao Fu. He secretly thought that he wanted to see Yang Kun, which was also one of his plans in Jiangning. After that, he stayed in Maoshan with peace of mind and set off for Jiangning the next day.
On the way, he met the return guards. After Lu Qi received the letter, he returned to Jiangning. He entered the city but went to Yixin Teahouse. Although the business of Yixin Teahouse is not deserted, it has also entered a depression. People in the stable are afraid that Lu Tianfeng will be involved in the crime of being punished by the deeds, but there are also many "old customers" who are actually mostly people related to the Xiao family come to support him.
When Lu Qi arrived outside the Yixin Teahouse, he stood in the middle of the street and looked at the teahouse for a while. Finally, he went into the teahouse with a bad look. When he entered the teahouse, he went into the back, entered a pavilion, lifted up the bed in the pavilion, and revealed an authentic tunnel. Lu Qi entered the pavilion and pulled the bed, then walked along the pavilion. After walking out, he reached the end of fifty meters. He raised his arm and lifted the bed above and walked out.
This is a pavilion house. Yang Kun was wearing a brocade robe and was drinking tea. When he saw Lu Qi coming out, he smiled and did not get up. Lu Qi walked over and sat at the table, took out the letter and handed it to Yang Kun.
Yang Kun took the letter and looked at it and asked, "Who wrote this?"
"Mr. Wang Wen and Lord." Lu Qi replied.
Yang Kun looked at Lu Qi in surprise and said in surprise: "Wang Wen and Lord? Has he joined you?"
Lu Qi shook his head and talked about his experience with Wang Wenhe, and then talked about the current military layout, strength and strength of Jin State, as well as the military power role of various places.
After hearing this, Yang Kun asked, "What does it mean to let me read the letter?"
"If it were brothers, would you believe Wang Wenhe?" Lu Qi asked.
"I won't believe it. The reason is that Wang Wenhe has been in the west for many years and has always held the elite Xinghua Army, but has never had the ambition to rebel. In the end, he took the initiative to give up the military power of Xinghua. This only shows that Wang Wenhe is more loyal to the Tang Kingdom." Yang Kun replied simply.
Lu Qi nodded and said, "But what this letter says makes sense. If Wei joins with Zhou, it will be a very dangerous situation for Jingzhou."
"Crisis? You have said before that you stationed in Jingzhou with 150,000 elite troops, which are 150,000 elite troops in Lizhou across the river, and 50,000 troops under Guan Chong's control. In addition, General Gu controlled 200,000 troops in the adjacent prefectures. So many military forces echoed each other. Based on my understanding of Guan Chong, as long as the military power of Jingzhou obeys his military orders, Zhou and Wei will not even be able to take down Jingzhou even if they send 200,000 elite troops. In the battle across the water, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Just prepare enough fire attack weapons, and the Zhou army will not be able to cross the Han River." Yang Kun responded clearly.
Lu Qi nodded after hearing this. Jing's defense is mainly fire attack. Any ship that wants to cross the river is afraid of turbulent oil. Moreover, the load capacity of the ship is limited, so it is difficult to overcome too much military force at one time. The military force that can be overcome is small, so it can only be strangled by the defending army.
"So, this letter is not trustworthy?" Lu Qiping said.
"It should be 80% unreliable. Since you have made all your plans, you can ignore it. And I suspect that this letter has deception. Why can Wang Wenhe be sure that you are the King of Jin? Just because you have been to Jianzhou before? I think Wang Wenhe should be involved in Changzhou and suspect that the establishment of Jin State is related to you, so you'd better not act rashly." Yang Kun replied.
Lu Qi nodded, but Yang Kun looked at the letter again, thinking about it. After a while, he looked at Lu Qi and said, "Seventh brother, if you look at this letter from a malicious perspective, why do you think Wang Wenhe suggested that you increase your troops in Jingzhou?"
Lu Qi was stunned and said, "From the malicious perspective, Lord Li doesn't want to fight Changzhou at all. Although Wang Wen and Lord were the governors of the Eastern Wu army, they did not have the power to transfer the army."
"You are wrong. Wang Wenhe is not unable to transfer troops. If he gives orders, the generals of the Eastern Wu army will definitely follow orders, but the orders require a famous division. For example, Yue suddenly attacked Suzhou or Jin. At that time, Wang Wenhe's orders to send troops can have the meaning of victory." Yang Kun said with great confidence.
When Lu Qi heard this, his face changed drastically, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Is Wang Wenhe yin me?"
"If Wang Wenhe's letter was out of malicious intention, there was only one possibility, that is, Yue State received reinforcements from Zhou State." Yang Kun said coldly.
Lu Qi's face was gloomy and the sea was wide. Jin's supervision on the sea route could not be far from the coast. Jin's scouts infiltration in Hangzhou had been useless. Yue implemented military control over Hangzhou. Any strangers would be arrested. Lu Qi could not destroy Yue for the time being, so he could only be gentle and forbearing.
"Deploy troops and immediately mobilize 300,000 troops from Ganzhou to the east. Before Wang Wenhe responded, you must rather be wrong than be passive." Yang Kun said.
Lu Qi nodded and thought for a while, "Ganzhou's military strength will be fully exerted. Will it give Wei a chance to attack?"
"I don't think it's true. Even if it was a tiger or wolf, it would not want to fight easily. Wang Wenhe said that Wei would cooperate with Zhou. But the premise is that Wei must have confidence in protecting itself before he can cooperate with Zhou. Otherwise, it would be foolish to cause trouble. In addition, Ganzhou is far away from Hongzhou, and the sudden departure of Ganzhou's military force will give Wei a feeling of bait. You must know that Jin's military power is now advantageous. If Wei breaks the contract first, it will be at a disadvantage in people's hearts. And does Wei dare to go south? There are enemies with heavy troops in the east and west. " Yang Kun analyzed.
Lu Qi nodded, and Yang Kun said again: "Start an attack as soon as possible. There is a reason why Yue Kingdom secretly colluded with Zhou Kingdom. Your battle will not cause resistance or criticism."
Lu Qi nodded and said, "Fourth Brother, can you be the prince in the future?"
After hearing this, Yang Kun smiled lightly and said, "I said no, what will happen to you?"
Lu Qi was stunned, then smiled and said, "Then be the prince. You and my father are sworn brothers."
Yang Kun was stunned, then smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your brother. I will kowtow to you when you ascend the throne."
"It is not necessary to kowtow. Since the fourth brother is the prince, he is the king of Jin State side by side, just treat him." Lu Qizheng said.
Yang Kun nodded, stood up and faced Lu Qi, respectfully raised his respectful words and said, "My minister Yang Kun pays homage to the Lord."
"Fourth brother is not a gift." Lu Qi raised his hand and said.
Yang Kun straightened his waist and lowered his hands, looked at Lu Qi and said, "Have you seen Li Yan?"
Lu Qi was stunned and said calmly: "I have seen it, Brother I will sit down, but it is better to call me Brother I in private."
Yang Kun nodded and sat down, and said, "Seventh brother, you have to be careful that Li Yan, I suspect he is from Yuwen."
Lu Qi was stunned when he heard this and said unexpectedly: "The people of Yuwen family?"
Yang Kun nodded and said, "I have been in Jiangning for many years. I have seen Li Yan and Yuwen officials be with him, but at that time, there was no hostility in everyone, and it was normal for officials to drink flower wine together."
Lu Qi nodded clearly, and Yang Kun said again: "Li Yan is now in command of 20,000 Ning**, but I know that even if Li Yan is the deputy envoy of the Jiedushi, his influence on 20,000 Ning** is not as good as you. So once Li Yan leaves 20,000 Ning**, you can command the 20,000 troops for the Du Yuhou."
Lu Qi was stunned and said, "Did the Fourth Brother suggest me to get rid of Li Yan?"
"Not yet. Even if Li Yan commanded 20,000 Ning**, he would not have the power to change the general, so he could not control 20,000 Ning** for a while. I just remind you to be careful of him and don't be plotted by him to capture the king." Yang Kun said calmly.
