Chapter 155
The next day, when it was noon, I suddenly came to inform Mr. Lu that he would go outside Donghua Gate to pick up the princess. Lu Qi took ten guards to outside Donghua Gate of the imperial palace in the inner city.
After waiting for a while, a two-horse car drove out of Donghua Gate. Lu Qi came to ask, knowing that it was the princess to be on her way, so he respectfully visited her across the car, and then the escort returned to the Duke's Mansion of Xijin County.
The car entered the front mansion, Xiaodie and Zhexiangyue were waiting for him, and two princesses and palace servants got out of the car. This time the two princesses were traveling, and there were only two palace servants and a coachman.
Xiaodie and Zhexiangyue Nuli respectfully met the two princesses. After Yuwei and Xianghe received the gift, Yuwei took the initiative to help Xiaodie and went to the back house together. Only the coachman who accompanied him stayed in the front house and had his own slaves to enter the back house.
When he arrived at the back house, Lu Qi, who was accompanying him, suddenly called the girls out of his words, and then politely raised his respect to the two princesses and said, "You two princesses, I have something to say."
"The prince consort has something to say." Yu Wei responded softly.
"What I want to say is that the back house is my home. If I am outside the home, I should abide by the national laws. Inside the home, I hope that His Royal Highness the Princess can abide by the family rules." Lu Qi said gently.
The girls were stunned, and Yu Wei said softly: "I don't know what family rules are, please tell me the prince-consort."
Lu Qi said gently: "Yuwei, Xianghe, Xiaodie is my first wife. I hope you are in the inner house and respect her as your sister. Xiaodie is in Hexi and is the eldest lady."
"The wind in the sky should not be said randomly." Xiaodie hurriedly refuted.
Lu Qi looked at Princess Yuwei with gentle eyes. Princess Yuwei hesitated for a moment, turned her head and asked, "Xianghe, what do you think?"
Xianghe was stunned, turned her head to look at Lu Qi, and said softly: "Xianghe felt that the prince consort was right."
Yuwei nodded after hearing this, moved away from Xiaodie, and stood with Xianghe. After the two princesses greeted each other and said softly: "Greetings to my sister."
"Please get up, two sisters." Xiaodie stretched out her jade hand to support the two princesses.
"Xiaodie, you have set up a residence for Yuwei and Xianghe to rest. I'll go out to deal with the foreign affairs." Lu Qi said gently.
Xiaodie could only nod. She knew that Lu Qi was deliberately avoiding it. In fact, she was unwilling to compete for the status of a great lady in Kaifeng Prefecture. The two princesses of Zhou were just coming to worship their ancestors today. There was no need for her to criticize him. Lu Qi's approach was unruly, so she would have to be a young princess, but the two princesses were able to accommodate her, which surprised her a little.
Lu Qi really had something to do. He left his mansion and went to Xifeng Tower to meet and drink with the generals outside Kaifeng Prefecture, and used his feelings to win over the morale of the army. It was a must for Lu Qi. He was only able to win over money and was easily instigated by more money.
After noon, Lu Qi suddenly felt something. He got up and left the table to go to the first floor. He saw Xiaoqing as he climbed the stairs. He couldn't help but feel happy. Xiaoqing was wearing ordinary clothes, a fur hat on his head, and a waxy face. But Lu Qi knew it was Xiaoqing by sensing.
"Master." Xiaoqing ran to meet Lu Qi and called out softly. Lu Qi smiled and reached out to support Xiaoqing's shoulders and arms.
Lu Qi took Xiaoqing to the back and entered a room before saying happily: "Xiaoqing, you're fine."
"Slaves are nothing." Xiaoqing responded softly.
Lu Qi shook his head happily, reached out and took off Xiaoqing's fur hat, and asked, "Are you in any danger when you come and go?"
"There is no danger. I run fast and don't stay in a restaurant. I always buy food on the streets. I run to Sister Qingwen. Sister Qingwen doesn't let me go out. I waited until Sister Qin'er's reply before I came to find the master again." Xiaoqing replied softly.
Lu Qi nodded. He told Xiaoqing to do so. He tried to avoid the crowds and avoid human frame-ups. Compared with wild beasts, man-made disasters are even more terrifying.
"Master, sister Qin'er and the mistresses have no letters. They feel relieved when they know that the master is safe. The old lady is in good health, the mistress and the children are both very good. Sister Shuang'er gave birth to a daughter." Xiaoqing said a lot in anger, but she did not mention a word about Jin.
Lu Qi was very happy when he heard this and asked Xiaoqing to rest in the guest room. He went back to socialize with his subordinates. After a while, Lu Qi and Xiaoqing left Xifeng Tower and went to the frozen Bianhe River for a while, and naturally understood the current situation of Jin State.
The current situation of Jin State is generally stable and stable. The biggest disaster in Jin State is the bandits. There are hundreds of stocks, which are very difficult to eliminate and become the biggest disaster of trade. In addition, a mutiny occurred in Ganzhou, with thousands of soldiers rebelling, most of which were surrendered soldiers of Chu State, but they were soon suppressed by General Zhang Ji. Because of the rebellion of Ganzhou's military, Xin Qin'er ordered to stop her advance towards Nanyue and transferred half of her military power to station in Hengzhou.
In addition, the incident of Lu Qi's advancement in Hexi and Beiting was widely spread in Jin State, but it was not intentionally spread by the Jin State court. On the contrary, the Jin State court once deliberately misled and described Jin King Lu Bing and Lu Tianfeng as two people.
However, after the information about Lu Qi's advancement in Hexi spread, many secretly-known military officials submitted congratulatory statements, and the documents submitted by the major military prefectures of Jin State were rigorous and informative than before. Xin Qin'er told Lu Qi not to take any more danger, because the Zhou army in Runzhou's infiltration and spy on Jin State was strengthened day by day, and it would not take long to obtain information that was unfavorable to Lu Qi.
Xin Qin'er wanted to enter and destroy the Zhou army in Runzhou as soon as possible, but was refuted by Yu Huaxuan and Wang Wenhe. Only Du Yong did not refute it, but did not support it. Fortunately, Xin Qin'er also understood that since Wang Wenhe and Yu Huaxuan both refuted the march, the march would inevitably be in a disadvantage. However, Wang Wenhe suggested that the State of Wei should be destroyed in advance.
Wang Wenhe not only suggested to destroy Wei, but also gave a description of how to destroy Wei. He pointed out that after the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, Wei refused Jin's generous persuasion to surrender, so he could not expect Wei to surrender. However, Wei's national strength was far inferior to Jin, so if Wei wanted to escape the consequences of being destroyed, he could only unite with the Zhou army.
Wang Wenhe speculated that the Wei State would likely join forces with the Zhou army of the Han River to launch a war against Jingzhou. Only when Jingzhou severely damaged the Jin army could the Wei State get out of the way, use the Zhou army to seize Jingzhou, and then force Lizhou to the south of the river. After the Wei State leverages the Zhou army to severely damage the Jin army, it will launch an offensive against Chu.
Once the Wei State advances into Chu, it will gain more military strength and war needs. After all, the land of Chu is shortly after the land of Jin, and the morale of the surrendered soldiers cannot get rid of the mentality of fence-bearing. Therefore, if Jingzhou is defeated, it will be equivalent to severely damaging the "snake head" of Jin and will suddenly disrupt the hearts of the people of Jin.
Now, based on Wang Wenhe's warning, Xin Qin'er sent Wang Wenhe's suggestions and layout to Taiwei Gu and Guan Chong, and transferred Du Yong's 300,000 Baling troops to drive the land of Chu, and then transferred Zhang Hongbo's military strength to take over Huzhou. After the New Year, regardless of whether Wei will attack Jingzhou, Jin will launch an offensive against Wei.
After hearing Xiaoqing's replies, Lu Qi was shocked in his heart. Wang Wenhe said that Wei State would collude with the Zhou army of the Han River, which was a possibility that he had never thought of. He always thought that even if Wei State surrendered, it should surrender to Jin State because Jin State could be granted the title of king.
But Wang Wenhe's speculation made Lu Qi understand that Wei State had a dangerous way to survive, which was to help the Zhou army advance to Jingzhou. Jingzhou and Bashu had nearly 200,000 Jin troops. Once they were defeated by the Zhou army, the consequence would be that the entire army would be wiped out. Because of the barriers of the river, it would be difficult for the Jin army in Jingzhou to retreat. Once Jingzhou lost, the Jin army that occupied Bashu would be swallowed up by the Zhou army.
Will the Yuwen family of Wei really go crazy? They will really embark on a dangerous road that would rather be broken than to be completely broken? They will use the power of the Zhou army to severely damage Jin. Even if they succeed, the consequences may not be able to seize the land of Chu, but they can indeed disrupt the rule of Jin, and in the end they will marry Zhou.
Lu Qi went home with Xiaoqing a little heavy heart, thinking in his mind that if Wei really colluded with Zhou, how much military force could Zhou have gathered? How much military force could Wei launch to attack Jingzhou?
The Hongzhou area of Wei State faced the situation of attack by the Jin army in Chizhou and Tanzhou. It should be possible to divide 50,000 troops and seize Jiangxia and Jiangling by water, causing Jingzhou to fall into a situation where he fights north and south and is attacked from both sides.
