The next morning, Lu Qi accompanied King Cao to Hexi. What made Lu Qi speechless was that his original impression of King Cao was that he was a military figure who could endure some hard work. However, King Cao actually traveled by car. When the fifteen-year-old King Ji and Lu Qi went on patrol, they rode horses by themselves. Lu Qi's impression of King Cao suddenly turned into an embroidered pillow. However, King Cao's ride in the car made Lu Qi feel clear, and he also knew that there was a beautiful woman in King Cao's car. He came to the west to declare a decree to bring a woman with him, and she hid in the car and refused to get out, which showed that he had a close relationship with Cao Cao. The king has no status, and King Cao is obviously a person who is greedy for pleasure. Based on King Cao¡¯s exposed character, Lu Qi ordered people to go to Wuwei City first to clean up the palace in the middle city. Lu Qi planned to praise this flowery prince with embroidered pillows. We arrived at Wuwei City in the afternoon and went directly to the palace in the middle city. After stopping in front of the palace, King Cao got out of the car. The two eunuchs who accompanied him hurriedly presented them with fox fur robes. It was much colder here in Wuwei City than in Huizhou. The wind was mainly blowing from the north, and there were obvious traces of wind and sand in the city. Wearing a fox fur robe, King Cao looked at the small town-like buildings. The small town in front of him was obviously much more beautiful than the outer city wall. It was made of blue bricks. The city gate was a palace gate with copper nails, and there were majestic cornices on the city gate. Archway, this should be a palace city. "Your Highness, this is a royal palace built during the Qianliang period. It was later used as a palace by the Tubo nobles and the Xia Emperor. Wuwei City was originally the capital of the Xia Kingdom, so the palace has been well restored and preserved. Since Your Highness has come to Hexi, This is the only place suitable for Your Highness to stay," Lu Qi introduced with a smile. King Cao was slightly moved after hearing this. He did not expect that Lu Tianfeng would let him move into the palace. The palace is a symbol of power and status, and this palace was once the palace of the King of Liang and the palace of the Emperor of Xia, so its significance has increased. Reached the emperor level. "Lu Shangshu, this place should be very good. Have you not moved in yet?" King Cao asked casually. "Your Highness, this is the royal palace. As a minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, of course I cannot live in it, and I have never gone in to see it." Lu Qiping replied peacefully. "Lu Shangshu, since you consider yourself a minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, why do you support Hexi's autonomy? As a minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lu Shangshu should let the imperial court take over Hexi and Beiting." King Cao said in a calm tone, but there was a question. meaning. After hearing this, Lu Qi secretly cursed King Cao as a fool. Although King Ji knew that he had troops in Hexi, he never questioned him directly. Instead, he asked Lu Qi in the tone of a friend. Now King Cao is in Wuwei City. , and it turned out to be a condescending interrogation. "Your Highness, Hexi and Beiting are the same land. It is a fluke that I was able to enter and obtain it. If I hand over Hexi to the imperial court, the consequences will be that Hexi will be gained and lost. When the officials of the imperial court came to Hexi, one is to Hexi is a strange place, and we cannot understand the customs of the Fan people and govern them with gentleness. Secondly, the Fan people were defeated by the ministers, and they were psychologically only willing to accept the rule of the ministers. If an unfamiliar Han official from the Zhou Dynasty came to take charge of Hexi, the Fan people would rebel, so the emperor Your Majesty, you have just approved the establishment of the Hexi Protectorate," Lu Qiping replied. King Cao nodded lightly, and Lu Qi added: "In addition, the imperial court did not have the power to take over Hexi. If the imperial court wanted to suppress the Hexi tribe and resist the attacks of Tubo, Xia, Liao, and the Uighurs in the Western Regions, the imperial court would at least have to One hundred thousand soldiers were mobilized to guard Hexi and Beiting, so the imperial court could only adopt the autonomy of the Duhufu." King Cao nodded, but said: "But your autonomy is ultimately an act of disobedience." "Your Highness, my autonomy is a transition. When the Fan tribe returns to the rule of the Great Zhou, or when the Great Zhou unifies the north and south, then the power of the Great Zhou Kingdom will be at its peak, and Hexi will naturally be taken over by the imperial court." Lu Qi Heping replied. King Cao was startled, thought for a moment, and said: "You mean that when the Zhou Dynasty seizes the south, you will hand over the governance of Hexi." "Your Highness is right, if the Zhou Dynasty is unified, There will be no autonomy for the north, south, and Hexi," Lu Qiping replied. King Cao nodded, and Lu Qi said gently: "Your Highness has worked hard all the way, and it's cold outside. Please come in and rest." "Come in, Mr. Lu, I will talk to you inside." King Cao said kindly. "I won't come in. This palace has been vacant. I will go and ask people to bring supplies. After His Highness has rested, I will come to see you tomorrow and take a walk with His Highness on the west side of the river." Lu Qihui refused. King Cao was startled and asked: "Will you go for a walk with me tomorrow?" "Yes, it is bitterly cold in Hexi now, and it is not suitable for travel. But when Your Highness comes to Hexi, if you don't take a walk and go back to see His Majesty later, It would be embarrassing to be unable to speak, and His Highness would have to go to Zhangye and Juyanhai in Ganzhou," Lu Qi said with a smile. King Cao nodded in understanding, and Lu Qi said seriously: "Your Highness, I would like to give you a good word. After your Highness moves into your residence, you must not let the slaves inside come close to you. Many people in Hexi hate me."?Especially women, I don¡¯t want His Highness to be frightened. " King Cao was startled, then understood, nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will be careful. " Lu Qi nodded, hesitated, turned around and looked at the commander of the imperial army accompanying King Cao, and called: "Please come here. " The commander was five meters away. When he saw Lu Qi shouting, he came over without any hesitation. He saluted and said, "What are your orders, General? " "I shouldn't have ordered you, but the safety of His Highness is too serious. I ask you to guard His Highness closely in the palace. You are not allowed to be careless and cause trouble. If Your Highness wants to ask someone for questioning, he must be tied up. The brothers who are guarding him must be tied up. I must abide by the strict protection of military discipline. If I have left Hexi safely, I will reward my brothers. "Lu Qi said peacefully. "Don't worry, General, we will protect His Highness strictly. "The commander expressed his stance. Lu Qi nodded, turned to salute King Cao and said, "Your Highness, please come in and rest. " King Cao nodded, turned and walked towards the palace gate. The commander hurriedly brought a dozen forbidden troops to accompany him, and then the car also drove into the palace, followed by the forbidden troops behind. " Lu Qi saw King Cao enter. When he arrived, he turned around and went to the government office in Wuwei City. He ordered the officials to send the best food to the palace. In addition, he selected a hundred women brought back from Beiting and sent them to the palace to reward the five hundred guards. However, he did not give them. King Cao sent Fannu away and Lu Qi asked Yang Kun to lead his army into Beiting. Yang Kun killed nearly 20,000 Uighur men in Beiting, completely eradicating the royal rule of the Uighur tribe. Yang Kun captured a large number of people in Beiting. He also captured more than 20,000 enemy women's property. The war reduced the number of men to too many women. When Lu Qi returned to Hexi, he took 10,000 Uighur women back to Hexi with the intention of giving them to Hexi soldiers as wives and concubines. The first purpose was to win people's hearts, and the second was to propagate the population of Hexi. However, after the Uighur women from Beiting were taken to Hexi, Lu Qi did not forcibly reward them to the soldiers. Instead, he adopted a voluntary trade, and the soldiers paid for the women themselves. If the woman being bought is not satisfied with the soldier who paid for it, she can refuse. In fact, she has adopted Xin Qin'er's method of embroidering the female army, but there is no dowry. Now that King Cao has come to Hexi, Lu Qi, out of a heart attack strategy, He also used the captured women to reward them. In Hexi, women were more like property, and they were not afraid of being attached to men. In the wars of the grassland peoples, women only attached to the victors. However, Lu Qi's demand for women from the Hehuang soldiers was not the same. Instead of using the women captured in Beiting, they used recruitment methods to encourage prostitutes from Hexi, Huizhou, and other states to go to Hehuang to make money. Lu Qi is now a big country. King Jin, he must consider the consequences of being criticized. The bad habits he developed in the Xinghua Army have disappeared with his status. Today, he cannot still be the soldier who can rape and plunder. Bandit, he allowed his subordinates to do this, but he became more and more self-restrained in his royal demeanor. As night fell, in the palace of Wuwei City, in a warm palace, the gauze lanterns on the four walls gave off soft light, illuminating the palace. On a large brocade couch inside, an erotic drama was being staged. A woman with a beautiful body and skin like snow jade was kneeling on the brocade couch. The woman's hands were tied behind her back, and her kneeling posture made her plump buttocks rise. At this time, King Cao was naked and fair, and he was thrusting happily from behind the woman's plump buttocks. He screamed excitedly, and with the banging sound, the woman who had her hands cut behind her back also let out a cry-like sound. The soft sound of chanting was heard. And on the brocade couch, there was a black-haired and jade-bodied beauty sitting nearby, looking at King Cao with a pair of beautiful eyes, exuding a delicate charm that I felt pity for. At the door of the palace, the commander and a dozen soldiers were enduring physical and mental torture with hard expressions. General Lu sent a hundred female rewards. Although he did not say that they would be given to King Cao, the commander of the army guarded the army. Dare to take care of his own happiness, he wisely picked the best one, tied it up and sent it to the palace, so that King Cao could use it.
