Chapter 6 Uncle
After sitting down, Lu Dongsheng looked at Lu Qi carefully and nodded, "You are six points like your father. You have a little more elegant spirit, and you should follow your mother."
Lu Qixinnuan nodded and said gently: "I heard from my mother that my father and uncle are incompatible."
Lu Dongsheng nodded calmly, and then said sadly: "Your father is a stubborn man who doesn't know how to adapt. The Tang State had entered a period of serious internal friction. Emperor Tang's suspicion of military generals was so great that he was self-harm. He must restrain each other and used many stupid people as military supervisors. However, the Zhou State had the same mind as the ruler and ministers, the political affairs were harmonious, and the soldiers were strong and good at fighting. At that time, the number of military forces in Zhou State was not as large as that of the Tang Army, but the combat power of the Zhou State's 10,000 troops was enough to reach the combat power of the Tang Army of 50,000. The Tang Army had too much internal friction, and the power of the truly good generals and officers was greatly constrained. How could they be unbeaten?"
Lu Qi was silent, Lu Dongsheng calmed down for a moment and said gently: "Your father refused to accept my ideas, so he was disagreeing with me. I once asked him to save his life and not to be buried with Tang State. Later, he was seriously injured, and I also asked someone to pursue your father and let him return to Zhou State. But that stubborn man ignored him and went to Jiangnan. Once he went there, there was no news. For so many years, I dared not to explore you. Many families who tried to contact their relatives in Jiangnan were searched and became sinners."
"How dare my uncle meet my nephew now?" Lu Qi asked gently.
Lu Dongsheng looked at Lu Qi and smiled, and said gently: "One, you delivered it to your door, I have no reason to refuse your ancestor worship. Two, today is different. The Tang State has not only become a vassal state of Zhou, but also has only four weak states. The demise of Tang State is not far away. Who would have offended me and colluded with a weak country."
Lu Qi nodded and smiled and said, "My uncle must have heard of me?"
Lu Dongsheng was stunned, then shook his head and said, "Uncle has never heard of you. The affairs of Tang State are all announced by the government. At present, no one is interested in inquiring about Tang State because it is not worth it."
Lu Qi nodded, and Lu Dongsheng said gently again: "You should have a very strong position in Tang State."
Lu Qi nodded, but shook his head and said, "It's not good either. Isn't this going to send the prince to Zhou State?"
Lu Dongsheng asked for a moment, but then asked: "What official position are you in Tang State?"
"In Tang State, he is General Qianniu Guard and Ning** Du Yuhou." Lu Qipinghe replied.
"If Ning** Du Yuhou, the official position of Du Yuhou is in Zhou State, it would be quite low." Lu Dongsheng said.
Lu Qiyi smiled and said, "The official position of Du Yuhou of Tang is not very powerful in the army, but I, Du Yuhou, are special, who are directly in charge of the army and have no Shangguan."
Oh! Lu Dongsheng nodded after hearing this and said, "Most of the Duke of Zhou State's Yuhou is in charge of the army, while some of the Jiedu governors are actually empty power."
Lu Qi was stunned and asked, "Uncle, I heard from the Zen master that the elder brother is the commander in the army. Which army is he in?"
"In the Yiwu Jiedu army in Dingzhou, the Yiwu Jiedu army was Grand Marshal Yang Ye, the frontier in defending Yan State." Lu Dongsheng said proudly.
Lu Qi said oh, and there was no feeling in his heart. He had no idea who Yang Ye was. Of course, he had to go deep into Zhou State to understand the military strength of Zhou State before he could decide on the strategic layout of Zhou State.
"Does your uncle know Jin State?" Lu Qi asked again soon.
"Jin State? I heard that it was a country established in the southwest. I heard that it was when Tang State competed with Chu State for power, Jin State took the opportunity to attack Chu State, causing the demise of Chu State." Lu Dongsheng replied.
"I heard that Zhou State sent tens of thousands of troops to attack Jin State, is that true?" Lu Qi asked.
Lu Dongsheng frowned and said silently for a while: "It's true, but it didn't attack Jin State, but Suzhou, but it was gone without a return. There are rumors that it was destroyed by the Jiang** army at sea, and there were also people who discovered that Suzhou's military strength was more than 100,000. In short, it must have been defeated. They were all Jianghuai men, and many households had funerals and sacrifices."
Lu Qi nodded, but Lu Dongsheng asked, "I heard that Suzhou and Changzhou were divided by the Zhang family of the Tang Dynasty. Is it true?"
"It's true." Lu Qi replied.
Lu Dongsheng nodded and said, "The Lu family has two children who went to war. I don't know if they are still alive now."
Lu Qi was stunned and asked, "Lu's son? Are they soldiers?"
"It's not a soldier, one is a captain and the other is a team leader. I, Lu, have many martial artists." Lu Dongsheng replied.
"What are their names?" Lu Qi asked.
"The captain is Lu Tianming, and the team is Lu Tianhai. In terms of this, they are all your brothers." Lu Dongsheng said regretfully.
Lu Qi nodded and wrote down. Since he was a clan brother, he could be promoted and reused to indirectly appease the surrendered soldiers of Zhou. It can be said that the most unstable soldiers of Jin were the surrendered soldiers of Zhou. However, the surrendered soldiers of Zhou would also play a role in occupying the territory quickly after attacking Zhou. Especially the Jianghuai land was originally the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and their sense of ownership of Zhou was easily shaken.
"Uncle, I want to go to worship my ancestors today, can I?" Lu Qi asked.
"Yes, can I use to hold a grand ceremony for you?" Lu Dongsheng responded. The grand ceremony was a gathering of tribe ginseng sacrifices.
Lu Qi shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate for a nephew to go to Zhang Yang, just pay tribute to his wife."
Lu Dongsheng nodded, Lu Qi looked at Xiaodie and said gently: "Lin Feng, go and tell your wife, let her come here."
"Yes." Xiaodie responded respectfully, turned around and hurriedly went to return the original clothes, but there was no falsehood in worshiping ancestors.
As soon as Xiaodie left, Lu Dongsheng asked, "Tianfeng, is your wife the mute girl?"
"Yes." Lu Qi replied.
Lu Dongsheng nodded and said, "Your father and General Lin were indeed friends back then. Your father was seriously injured, and it was more or less willing to do anything for General Lin."
"On the battlefield, good fortune and misfortune are difficult to determine. If my father is intact, I am afraid he will be punished by Emperor Tang." Lu Qiping said with kindness.
Lu Dongsheng nodded and said, "The Lord of Tang State is all literati, so he feels it is difficult to control military generals in his mentality, so he used fear to suppress military officials. You should have a deep understanding of being a military general in Tang State."
"My nephew has some experience. He was suppressed and even framed by Master Li several times, so in order to protect himself, his nephew finally did something unjust." Lu Qipinghe responded, intending to inform Shezhou.
"What kind of unjust did you do in Tang State?" Lu Dongsheng asked in surprise.
"My nephew implemented a separatist rule of holding troops in Shezhou, in which he occupied Shezhou's autonomy," Lu Qipinghe replied.
Lu Dongsheng looked at Lu Qi in surprise, and after a few seconds he doubted, "You have ruled over Shezhou Autonomousity, is that possible?"
Lu Qi smiled and explained briefly. Lu Dongsheng was shocked and said, "You are in Shezhou and you actually have 100,000 troops. Why did you leave?"
"My nephew's mother is in Jiangning and has to leave Shezhou and come to Zhou State. However, when I came to Zhou State, I had already secretly saved my mother and went to Shezhou, and my brother was in control of Shezhou." Lu Qiping said with kindness.
Lu Dongsheng nodded in a daze. The facts Lu Qi said made him suddenly fall into trouble. He thought that Lu Qi was just an official in the Tang Dynasty and came back to see his relatives as a natural person. As an elder, he thought about family affection and gained some condescending satisfaction mentality, but now, he knew that he was facing complicated troubles.
"Uncle, my nephew's Shezhou separatist cannot last long, and I will have to make a real belonging sooner or later. When my nephew comes to Zhou State, he is also determined to see the situation of Zhou State." Lu Qi said peacefully again.
"What do you mean? Do you want to belong to Zhou State?" Lu Dongsheng turned his head and asked.
"It's considered intentional, but my nephew has to see if the situation in Zhou State is stronger than that of Jin State." Lu Qi responded.
Lu Dongsheng frowned and thoughtfully. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Tianfeng, my uncle advises you to go back to Shezhou as soon as possible. For you, the State of Zhou will not be a good place."
