Chapter 56 Lu Tianming

"Come on, brother, please sit down." Lu Qi smiled and invited Lu Tianming to take the seat.

Lu Tianming didn't dare to be arrogant. He saluted Lu Qi and then went to sit down. Li Bao immediately took the initiative to walk out of the tent and strengthened his guard and patrol outside. Lu Hai also set up to go to the tent door.

"Brother, have worked hard all the way." Lu Qi said with a smile and was not in a hurry to ask about the matter.

"It's okay. My voice is from Shouzhou, I have military cards and armored clothes, and I am familiar with the official system of Zhou State, so I pretended to be a military envoy and got all the way. I came from Kaizhou." Lu Tianming said.

"Oh, the Jin army has also entered the Han Dynasty." Lu Qiping said.

"I have attacked and now I have occupied all the territory south of the Yangtze River. I have occupied Kuizhou, Wanzhou, Kaizhou and Zhongzhou to the north of the Yangtze River. I have faced the Zhou army in Kaizhou. After fighting hard several times, I took the opportunity to get over." Lu Tianming said.

Lu Qi nodded, and Lu Tianming said again: "Before Jin State marched into Bashu, the Jiangling Inner Court sent an envoy to persuade Han State to surrender, but Han State refused to surrender and was only willing to reject the Zhou army with Jin State. Jin State did not respond, so it sent troops to occupy the territory I mentioned and fought against the Zhou army in Kaizhou."

Lu Qi nodded, and Lu Tianming said again: "I came to find the King of Jin after receiving the orders of the Fuzhou inner court."

Lu Qiyi waved his hand and said calmly: "Here, call me seventh brother."

Lu Tianming nodded and said, "Seventh brother, I will report to the war, and the other is that the Fuzhou inner court hopes that the seventh brother can go back."

Lu Qi nodded, and Lu Tianming said again: "Seventh brother, the envoy of the inner court, said that Jin State can take the initiative now, and it is not worth the Seventh brother's risk outside. The envoy of the Central Government said that people's hearts were unpredictable. Jin State was very unstable in the past, so no minister was willing to have an accident with the King of Jin. Now that Jin State is stable, it is very likely that powerful ministers will do stupid things with greed."

Lu Qi was stunned and thoughtful. Wang Qin'er was worried about him, so she hoped that he would no longer take risks. However, according to the perspective of the actual situation, Jin State could know that he was the King of Jin and would not do stupid things with greed. Neither the Xiao family nor the few military officials in Zhou State would hope that Jin State would fall into a civil war because the powerful Zhou State was threatening Jin State.

However, the chance of leaking the secret is very high. After all, the Zhou army is in Jiangnan, and the Zhou army may have heard of some rumors. After Zhao Kuangyin heard the rumors, it may have returned the Zhou court. Zhao Kuangyin's return must have a degree of acceptance.

"Brother, do you think the Zhou army attacking Kaizhou is much stronger than the Jin army?" Lu Qi asked after thinking.

Lu Tianming hesitated and said, "It is much stronger. The Zhou army has strict military discipline and many soldiers are truly brave and powerful. Most of the troops of Jin State are ordinary people, and their military capabilities are not as good as those of the Zhou army. In the Battle of Kaizhou, the Jin army was mainly defending. The casualties in each battle will be much higher than those of the Zhou army. However, the number of people in the Jin army is superior, and the morale is not weak. There are few people who are afraid of fighting and escaped."

Lu Qi nodded, and the shaken thought that arose in his heart was calmed down. The weakness of the Jin army was that there were too many mobs. If he went back now, he would give up his efforts in the northwest and his reputation for establishing his merits in the Zhou Kingdom.

If the State of Zhou was defeated by the power of Jin, it would be difficult for Jin. If it fell into a long-term and protracted war, it would cause overwhelming war disasters to the State of Jin. Once the war fell into a stalemate, the national strength of Jin would be greatly exhausted. Military supplies, pensions, recruitment, and taxes would be increased. The consequences would cause complaints and then civil strife. The return of Jin's state of governance was actually based on peace. Once the tranquility was broken, it would cause chain chaos.

"Does your brother be in Jin State now have a position?" Lu Qi asked with a smile.

"Brother Yu met the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager's aunt gave me the title of Duke of Wuyi County and the title of Duke of Tianhai as Duke of Longjiang County. Later, the inner court served as the General of Yulin Lang of Weiwei Temple." Lu Tianming replied.

Lu Qi nodded. Lu Tianming belonged to the clan relatives, and the Empress Dowager gave the title of County Duke to belong to the clan power. County Duke and County Duke were just a kind of noble title and did not have much practical power.

"Brother will go back today and tell the inner court that I am very satisfied." Lu Qi said.

"Seventh brother won't go back?" Lu Tianming asked.

"I won't go back for the time being. Now I have established a situation in the northwest. I can restrain the Xia Kingdom and disrupt the situation in the Zhou Kingdom. After my brother returned, he told the inner court that he only needed to support General Gu and Guan Chong for the war in Bashu, and there was no need to interfere with their strategic goals." Lu Qi replied.

"Yes, I've recorded it." Lu Tianming responded.

"If my brother wants to make contributions in the army, he can go to Wuping's army and become Wang Ping's commander." Lu Qiping said with kindness.

Lu Tianming was stunned and said, "Seventh brother, can I stay in the Bashu battlefield? I can be the messenger."

"I don't want my brother to take too much danger." Lu Qi responded gently.

"The seventh brother established the Jin State, and I was the Lu clan and I was able to be in danger for the Lu clan. Don't worry, Seventh brother, I know that I will never interfere in military decision-making. Although General Guan respects me, he does not take care of me. I don't want to be taken care of, but I just want to be a real soldier." Lu Tianming responded sincerely.

Lu Qiran was silent. The reason why he wanted Lu Tianming to be a subordinate of Wang Ping was mainly for the prevention of trouble. Lu Tianming was his clan brother. If he was at Guan Chong, Guan Chong would definitely respect him. If Lu Tianming was respected by the generals, he would easily become a rising power, just like his initial rise. In fact, it was because of the royal status of the prince consort of Wu Cheng that he was able to obtain a foundation that could make people depend on.

If Lu Tianming goes to Wang Ping and Zhu Wu's army, it will be difficult to have the power to rise. Wang Ping will not respect Lu Tianming because he is a royal relative. Wang Ping himself is Lu Tianfeng's iron-blooded brother, so he would not be overestimated by Lu Tianming as a royal relative. Zhu Wu naturally knew it well and would not misunderstand Lu Qi's intention.

Lu Qi just fell silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "You are willing to stay in the Bashu battlefield. I wonder where Brother Tianhai is?"

"Tianhai is in the capital of Fuzhou. I am the envoy of the inner court." Lu Tianming replied.

"Well, then let Brother Tianhai go to the Wuping Army, and brother will stay in the Bashu battlefield for the time being." Lu Qiping said with kindness.

Lu Tianming was stunned and respectfully responded: "Yes, Brother Yu will tell the inner court when he goes back."

Lu Qi nodded and said, "The Wuping Army is a sea attack force that I have planned for a long time. Commander Zhu Wu once prepared for a naval battle under my order. In the future, the Wuping Army will go out to sea to expedition the Zhou Kingdom, land from the coast and seize the land of the Jianghuai River. However, it requires soldiers from the Jianghuai River to reduce the resistance of the people of the Jianghuai River."

Lu Tianming said in surprise and said, "It turns out that the seventh brother asked me to go to the Wuping Army to capture Jianghuai."

Lu Qi nodded and said, "The ancestral land of our Lu clan is Shouzhou. In a broad sense, we are considered to be the people of Jianghuai. If we seize the land of Jianghuai, we will not only cut off the grain of Zhou State, but also cut off the supplies and retreat routes of the Zhou army in the south of the Yangtze River, making the Zhou army in the south of the Yangtze River a turtle in the jar."

Lu Tianming nodded and said, "The strategic layout of the seventh brother is indeed a concern for both distance and near."

"I will write a letter and my brother will take it back and hand it over to the Jiangling Neijing." Lu Qi said.

Lu Tianming responded, Xiaodie hurriedly took the four treasures of the study and placed them on a folding table. Lu Qi got up and walked over, and after grinding the ink, he picked up his pen and wrote. The content was very simple. Guan Chong was named the prince of Kuifu, and Kuizhou. General Gu's son was named Longwei County Prince, and found Shezhou. General Gu was appointed as the Taiwei. The Taiwei was a first-rank scattered official rank and was awarded the honorary position. He was appointed as the commander of the army in the Bashu battlefield, and Lu Tianhai was appointed as the commander of Wang Ping.

After the book, Lu Qi returned to Lu Tianming, and Xiaodie dealt with the letter. The letter would be sealed with fire lacquer. Lu Qi did not expect to seal Guan Chong and General Gu too early, because Guan Chong was appointed as a marquis, but because of Lu Tianming, Lu Qi could only entrust Guan Chong as the prince in advance, surpassing Lu Tianming in status, and also had the intention to inspire the morale of the army.

Although Lu Tianming stayed in the Battlefield of Bashu, he certainly had the potential to gain power by taking advantage of the high school, he also had the effect of inspiring the morale of the army. Lu Tianming was able to come to find Lu Qi in a long distance, and his conversation was natural. He should be a brave general. If such a royal relative led the way, he would be a great advantage in the war entering Tubashu.
