In the early morning, Lu Qi was practicing vigorous martial arts in the courtyard. He was still practicing the ancestral Fuhu Fist. However, as his innate skills continued to improve, his martial arts had gradually entered the realm of doing whatever he wanted without moving. , his six senses are sharper than his body movements, so when fighting against enemies, he often takes the most direct attack to preemptively attack. As soon as Lu Qi withdrew his posture, he spurted out a five-foot-long stream of white air. It was after some practice. The Yang Zhenqi in his body was boiling. When the outlet was cold, it condensed into mist, but Lu Qi spit out the formed air. The aerosol has a certain degree of lethality. When sprayed on a person, it is no less lethal than being hit by a fist. Of course, it is not as lethal as Lu Qi's fist. "Tianfeng." A delicate call came from in front of the main house door. Lu Qi turned around and looked with a smile, and saw Zhe Xiangyue, dressed in moon-white clothes and trousers, standing pretty and cute on the steps of the main house, looking at him a little shyly, he walked over, stretched out his hand to help Zhe Xiangyue and gave him a half-hug. Xiangyue's delicate body returned to the house together. Zhe Xiangyue came to call him for dinner. Two days had passed since she and Zhe Xiangyue consummated their marriage. After a sexual encounter, this girl with the wild nature of the prairie turned into a delicate young woman who loves little birds. Together with Xiaodie, Accompany Lu Qi tenderly. After having dinner together, Xiaodie and Zhe Xiangyue went to the front house and took a car. They left the house to buy New Year items, mainly items for ancestor worship. When the New Year comes, Lu Qi will go to Xifeng Tower with his subordinates to celebrate the New Year. I went outside Kaifeng Mansion to gather with the soldiers stationed in the counties near Kaifeng Mansion. The two thousand soldiers who escorted the goods from Hexi never left and returned. As soon as the two lovers left, Lu Qi sat down at the table in the room and started sketching with the Four Treasures of the Study, thinking about possible military changes. As the saying goes, the ignorant are fearless. Lu Qi originally had some doubts about Zhao Kuangyin's power. He underestimated it, but when he attended Shi Zhongfei's wedding banquet, he learned that Zhao Defang's wife's surname was Jiao, and his father-in-law's name was Jiao Jixun. Lu Qi knew who Jiao Jixun was. He was the military envoy of the Yan'an Army who guarded Yanzhou, General Zuo Wuwei, and Minister of War. He could be said to be a border defense minister with heavy troops like Wang Yansheng. Yanzhou is adjacent to Qingzhou, and Qingzhou is adjacent to Yuanzhou. There are 25,000 Zhou troops stationed in Yanzhou, mainly to defend Suizhou, Yanzhou and Xiazhou of Xia State. Yuanzhou and Qingzhou are the Pingliang Dudufu. It mainly defends Lingzhou of Xia Kingdom. Lu Qi was surprised when he found out that Jiao Jixun was Zhao Kuangyin's in-laws. He also understood better why Zhao Kuangyi was able to dominate the private business in the west. The Zhao family's power in the west must be very broad and deep, and Zhou After the emperor captured Hehuang, he asked Wang Yansheng to move to several states in Longxi and put another person in charge of the Pingliang Governor's Mansion. In fact, this destroyed the mutual leverage between Jiao Jixun and Wang Yansheng. After learning about the new situation in the west, Lu Qi had already sent people to pass military orders and suspended the military order of 10,000 cavalry to be stationed in Suizhou. He did not want to cause Zhao Kuangyi to preemptively attack. The 10,000 cavalry went to Suizhou, which would probably let Zhao Kuangyi With a greedy fighting spirit, if Zhao Kuangyi gathered his troops and attacked Lu Qi's 10,000 cavalry, the consequence would be that Lu Qi would have to grit his teeth and admit his defeat. Lu Qi would not be able to retaliate by sending troops to Hexi. The Hexi army sent troops without the permission of the Zhou court. , that is rebellion. As far as we know so far, Wang Yansheng's Longxi Governor's army, Jiao Jixun's Yanzhou army, and Pan U.S. forces in Hanzhong are all pro-Zhao forces. If Lu Qi sent troops to Hexi to rebel before, it would actually be against pro-Zhao forces. A war broke out, but once his troops left Hexi to rebel, he was afraid that all pro-Zhao troops would adopt a retreat strategy and let Lu Qichang drive eastward. Lu Qi's rebellion will definitely fulfill the Zhao family's ambition. The Zhao family can take the opportunity to control and integrate more of the Zhou Kingdom's military power. However, now the Zhao family has fallen into a passive position and is being used step by step by Emperor Zhou. Power reduces power, so Emperor Zhou will not hope that Lu Qi will rebel. Once the Zhou Dynasty falls into war, Emperor Zhou's imperial edict will become useless paper, and his orders will be ignored. After Lu Qi learned that Jiao Jixun was a pro-Zhao force, he had to reassess the military changes in the attack on Taiyuan. His original strategy was to lure the Taiyuan army to attack Shizhou, and then use the 10,000 cavalry stationed in Suizhou to counterattack the Taiyuan army. . Attacking Taiyuan in the middle of winter can be said to be a surprise, but the advantage of surprise is not great. At most, it can block information for a few days. Even if Kaifeng Prefecture gives an order to send troops, it will take less than two days to be defeated by the Jin State in Taiyuan. The public learned. Once the Duke of Jin learned about it, he would definitely attack the adjacent Shizhou first, and then eliminate the 20,000 West Route Army led by Lu Qi. If the Duke of Jin really took a preemptive strike against Lu Qi's army, Lu Qi would not If you are worried, you can retreat if you cannot defeat him. As long as Taiyuan's military strength is contained, it will not be considered as a delay in the war. But now that he has Jiao Jixun¡¯s army from Yanzhou behind him, he has to consider whether he will fall into a trap of attacking from both front and rear. If Jiao Jixun stabs him from behind, Lu Qi¡¯s 20,000-strong army will inevitably be unable to escape.The consequence of this is that Emperor Zhou may not have dared to transfer Jiao Jixun without reason before dealing with Zhao Kuangyi. The war against Taiyuan was actually very difficult. According to Lu Qi's speculation, if Jiao Jixun really stabbed him in the back, he would have colluded with the Duke of Jin in advance, and as soon as his 20,000 troops entered Xizhou, they would have fallen into an ambush trap. At that time, he could not avoid it. If you go to Yinzhou and retreat, you will be covered up. Therefore, once you lead the army to attack Taiyuan, you cannot go to Shizhou to join the West Route Army. Instead, you should go directly to join the Kaifeng Prefecture's army, that is, not to join the Kaifeng Prefecture's army. We must also march into Taiyuan not far away. Lu Qi put down the sketching brush and shook his head. He knew that Emperor Zhou's strategy of aggressively attacking Taiyuan was likely to be the trigger for the Zhao family to launch an army. Lu Qi felt that Emperor Zhou was too impatient. The best way to deal with the Zhao family was The boiled frog is eaten step by step. But Lu Qi also understood that the reason why Emperor Zhou was anxious was that one of the main reasons was that Emperor Zhou had a hidden health problem, and the second reason was that Zhao Kuangyin was in Jiangnan and he was in Hexi. The military strength in Hexi is not bad, after all, it is remote, and Zhao Kuangyin is recruiting troops in the south of the Yangtze River. Once the military strength is expanded to four to five million, he can completely cross the river and go north, rebel and usurp the kingdom of Zhou. Emperor Zhou was actually caught in a dilemma. The long-term delay caused serious disasters, and the eager solution could easily force the Zhao family to rebel. Lu Qi also understood that Emperor Zhou asked him to take over Hehuang. In fact, the biggest purpose was to contain the Zhao family, and Hexi The army was stationed in Huizhou, Lanzhou and Hehuang, posing a great threat to Zhao's power in the west. "Longxi Governor's Mansion." Lu Qi raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself. The several states where Wang Yansheng was stationed were the only places from Hehuang to Bashu. Now the Zhou army's advance into Bashu has reached a stalemate, and Jin has also adopted a wait-and-see strategy. . "It's time to take over Wei." Lu Qi said to himself again. The existence of the Wei State has now become a backbone for the Jin State to march into Bashu and deal with Zhao Kuangyin's army. Lu Qi has always expected that civil strife will occur in the Wei State, but so far it has not happened as he expected. Now that the Tang State has been destroyed, Jin The country should destroy Wei as soon as possible. Lu Qi got up and walked out of the main room, crossed the courtyard and left the east courtyard, but walked to the garden of the mansion. When he came to the winter scene, Lu Qi wanted to relax and breathe, but he didn't want him to walk into the garden. , he saw someone in the garden at a glance, he was startled and walked quickly and lightly. I saw the octagonal pavilion in the garden. The mushroom-shaped stone table in the pavilion had been knocked down. There was a man kneeling in the pavilion. Lu Qi quickly ran to the octagonal pavilion. An arrow stepped into the pavilion. The man heard the movement. He straightened up and turned around. When he saw Lu Qi, he immediately got up and ran away with a frightened expression. Lu Qi's arm reached out, and he quickly grabbed the man's hair and pulled it. The man screamed strangely and fell to the ground. Lu Qi raised his foot and stepped on the man's head. The man stretched out his hand to grab Lu Qi. Qi's right foot, Lu Qiyi exerted force, and the man took his hand away with a cry. "Don't step on it, please spare your life, uncle, spare your life." The man begged for mercy in shock. Lu Qi turned to look at the ground in the center of the pavilion. There was a round hole with a diameter of 8 inches on the ground. It was originally used to insert the support legs of the stone table. Lu Qi leaned over to look and found that there was a deep hole with a diameter of 8 inches. Round hole, there is a square thing in the hole. "What's there?" Lu Qileng asked. "Uncle, those are some treasures that were hidden by Prince Shun. The young one used to be the steward of His Highness Prince Shun." The man answered fearfully.
