After Lu Zhou forced Tao Dihu away, he ordered people to seal all the supplies in the warehouse.
Then, some private soldiers were left to guard it.
After Lu Zhou made the arrangements, he dismissed most of the family's private soldiers and took more than a hundred personal guards to the gate of the north city of Zhuxian County to wait for Wang Qi's arrival.
Time passes by little by little.
About half an hour has passed, and it is almost evening. On the official road in the distance, suddenly, there was a huge billow of smoke and dust, covering the sky and the earth.
The distance quickly closed, and Lu Zhou could already see the large banners erected on the official road.
When Lu Zhou saw this situation, he knew that Wang Qi had arrived.
Wang Qi¡¯s army is coming!
Lu Zhou waited for another quarter of an hour before he saw the menacing army arriving a hundred steps outside the city.
At this moment, Lu Zhou¡¯s brows rose, with a look of shock on his face.
All the soldiers are trotting forward.
The soldiers' running movements and steps are not messy at all, but uniform. Standing in the distance, you can only hear the neat sound of stepping on the ground. Every time your feet step on the ground, it seems to be stepping on people's hearts.
Lu Zhou admired in his heart.
It is indeed Wang Qi¡¯s army.
This army is different from any army he has ever seen. Such an army marched in unison, and the overwhelming momentum was even more shocking.
When the army was less than fifty steps away from the city, Lu Zhou did not dare to waste any more time and immediately led his men forward to the front of the army and bowed in salute.
The army stopped.
Wang Qi himself was riding at the front. He looked at Lu Zhou who was blocking the road and asked, "Who are you and why are you blocking the road?"
Lu Zhou said: "Reporting to your lord, I am Lu Zhou, a native of various counties. I would like to see the Prime Minister of the country to report the affairs of the counties."
Wang Qi said: "I am Wang Qi, do you have anything to report?"
Lu Zhou looked at Wang Qi and secretly thought that Wang Qi was indeed handsome. He quickly bowed again and said respectfully: "Return to the Prime Minister. When the Prime Minister led his army to the counties, the little old man got the news. .¡±
"Tao Dihu, this thief, is afraid of the Prime Minister's army and wants to lead his army to evacuate."
"It's just that Tao Dihu wants to evacuate, but he has to take away all the food, money and other materials in the granaries of the counties. In order to prevent Tao Dihu from succeeding, the little old man led a group of Lu family's guards to intercept Tao Dihu."
"Tao Dihu was afraid of the Prime Minister and fled in a hurry. He fled without fighting."
Lu Zhou said: "Now all the food, materials, etc. in the entire counties have been sealed up. I kindly ask the Prime Minister to send someone to take them over. Then my Lu family's guards can evacuate."
Wang Qi suddenly showed a smile on his face.
Lu Zhou had some courage and dared to attack Tao Dihu when Tao Dihu was about to evacuate.
When Wang Qi arrived at the counties, he received news that Tao Dihu had withdrawn from the county. Just how Tao Dihu evacuated and what happened in the middle, Wang Qi doesn't know the specific situation for the time being.
After all, the sentinel detectives arranged in various counties have not sent back any news for the time being.
Wang Qi nodded and said: "When the counties were in crisis, Mr. Lu was not afraid of life and death and took the initiative to come forward. I admire him. I am here to thank you for your efforts and thank you for your contribution to the court and the Langya Kingdom. "
Lu Zhou hurriedly said: "The Prime Minister praises you. This is what our Lu family should do."
Wang Qi said: "I have just arrived in the counties, and I have many things to deal with first. Today, I am busy with affairs, and I have no time to ask Duke Lu for advice. Tomorrow morning, I will personally visit and ask Duke Lu for advice."
Lu Zhou was immediately overjoyed.
The opportunity has come.
This is his chance.
Why did Lu Zhou fight against Tao Dihu's army when Tao Dihu left? It was just to get Wang Qi's favor, to get Wang Qi's admiration, and even to get benefits.
Wang Qi said he would visit the Lu family tomorrow, which is when the Lu family would benefit.
At this moment, Lu Zhou felt at ease.
With a smile on his face, Old Lu Zhou took the initiative and said, "The Prime Minister is busy with affairs, I understand. I will go back to Lu's house to clean up, sweep the couch, and wait for the Prime Minister to arrive."
Wang Qi said: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lu."
Lu Zhou quickly said it was not hard and took the Lu family away.
Wang Qi waved his hand, and Xiao Qingzhi ordered the soldiers to enter the city, first take over the city gates and control the counties. Then, Wang Qicai led his army into the city and took control of the four city gates.??
The army was stationed in the city, and Wang Qi took a few soldiers and went straight to the county government office to station themselves.
After Wang Qi settled in the county government office, a spy lurking in the city came to the county government office to report the news.
The sentinel bowed and handed over the information he had found.
This was arranged by Xiao Qingzhi in advance.
On the one hand, spread the news in the city and let people know about the situation of Wang Qi's army; on the other hand, get to know the general situation of the entire counties.
Wang Qi looked through the letter and checked the situation carefully.
The letter records Tao Dihu's various affairs in various counties, as well as the general situation of the Lu family. In addition, it also writes in detail about Lu Zhou leading people to the granary, confronting Tao Dihu, and forcing Tao Dihu away.
In addition, there are also some situations in various counties.
In fact, the main content is about Tao Dihu and Lu Zhou.
The Lu family is the largest family in the counties. It has a profound family background and is a master at the master level.
Wang Qi waved his hand to ask the sentry to retreat, then looked at Zhuge Feng who was sitting below, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, Tao Dihu has left the counties. There is nothing to say. After all, he never took anything with him."
"On the contrary, the Lu family is not weak in strength. It actually has its own industry in Xuzhou and even other states."
"The Lu family is influential in all counties."
"It's just that the Lu family is not a wealthy family. It is mainly influential in business. The officialdom is very weak. The family does not even have a county magistrate. This limits the strength of the Lu family."
Wang Qi said: "Now that Lu Zhou forced Tao Dihu away and made great achievements, how do you think he should be rewarded?"
Zhuge Feng thought for a while and said: "The reward for the Lu family must be a thousand gold to buy horse bones and a heavy reward. This time we captured the counties and Lu Zhou has made great achievements. After we give a heavy reward, we can publicize it to the outside world." .¡±
"By then, everyone in Langya Kingdom will know that Lu Zhou has benefited."
¡°Everyone will envy and even imitate him.¡±
"Only in this way, people from all over the Langya Kingdom will resist the bandits and strive for benefits. This will be of great help to us in raiding various places. Of course, even if these people fail to fight with the bandits, they can still weaken the bandits. bandit."
Zhuge Feng said: "So I think a heavy reward must be given."
Wang Qidao: "The big reward is nothing, I'm just a little worried."
Zhuge Feng said: "What are you worried about?"
Wang Qi said: "The strength of the Lu family is not weak, but it lacks the strength of the government. If there is a heavy reward, it is very simple, that is to let the people of the Lu family take charge of the counties and serve as the county magistrates of the counties."
"The Lu family is a wealthy family, and they also serve as county magistrates. I'm worried that the Lu family will become powerful and may even have second thoughts."
"So we have given benefits, but we must also let the Lu family have a sense of awe, so that the Lu family can do things down-to-earth. Otherwise, it will definitely be detrimental to us in the end."
Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "The counties are under my rule, not the counties of the Lu family."
Zhuge Feng nodded and said: "It is indeed possible to use kindness and power at the same time. Just to show your authority, you still have to think about how to scare the Lu family, otherwise it will be too deliberate."
Wang Qi thought for a while and said: "If there is no other way at the moment, let's show mercy first. Anyway, we just have to get this thing done before we leave. It shouldn't be difficult to shock the Lu family. If it doesn't work, when we leave at the end, let the Lu family Please come to the military camp and watch our officers and soldiers perform martial arts, and the effect will naturally be achieved."
Zhuge Feng nodded and said, "Yes, this is a good idea."
He had a look of approval on his face.
This suggestion is very good. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
