    After the New Year, King Ji took his younger brothers and sisters out of the palace to the Lu Qi Mansion. Xiaodie gave the prepared gifts and spent a day living in harmony with the little prince and princesses. The princes and princesses were very fond of Xiaodie and Xiangyue.  It's respect.  During the Lantern Festival, Kaifeng Mansion was very lively. Lu Qi, who had been free for many days, went to the Daxiangguo Temple with Xiaodie, Xiangyue and Xiaoqing. When they arrived outside the Daxiangguo Temple, they saw that it was like a market, and they were offering incense.  Of, buying and selling, it can be said to be a huge crowd.  Lu Qi was naturally surprised. After asking a food seller, he found out that the liveliness of Daxiangguo Temple had a lot to do with him. Because of his worship of Buddha and alms, many Buddhists dared to come to Daxiangguo.  People worship Buddha in the temple, and the temple is heated, which is one of the main reasons why the incense in Daxiangguo Temple becomes more prosperous.  After Lu Qi heard this, he did not go to the Daxiangguo Temple. Instead, he went to visit the Maxing Street area. His family enjoyed themselves together and had a warm Lantern Festival.  Only three days after the Lantern Festival, Lu Qi suddenly received an order from Emperor Zhou, ordering him to lead his subordinates in Kaifeng Mansion and escort King Ji to Jingzhao Mansion to take up a post. Lu Qi was also given the power of the Imperial Guard in Jingzhao Mansion to command the deployment.  Twenty thousand Huizhou troops stationed in Jingzhao Mansion.  Emperor Zhou's order was expected by Lu Qi. He and Xiangyue said goodbye reluctantly, but Xiaodie suggested that Xiangyue also go to Jingzhao Mansion and go north from Jingzhao Mansion to Yinzhou. Xiangyue expressed her willingness  , Although Lu Qi was worried about the possible war, he felt that Xiangyue's trip to Dingzhou would be a long and dangerous journey.  The next day, King Ji left Kaifeng Mansion under the escort of a thousand forbidden troops and met up with Lu Qi's army waiting outside the city. The three thousand troops marched towards Jingzhao Mansion.  Looking back at Kaifeng Mansion, Lu Qi felt a little bit like he had to get out of the prison, but Emperor Zhou was able to let him leave Kaifeng Mansion, maybe for the sake of advancing Taiyuan, but he also had the intention of protecting King Ji.  Kaifeng Prefecture is more than a thousand miles away from Jingzhao Prefecture. Lu Qi and his party walked a hundred miles a day, but failed to pass through Luoyang City on the way. When passing through the Guozhou area, they stayed an extra day in Hongnong County, the prefecture of Guozhou.  Mainly to rest, and then continue westward, arriving at Jingzhao Mansion smoothly.  When they arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, Lu Qixian accompanied King Ji to hand over the affairs with Shen Yilun. Shen Yilun was very conscientious and led King Ji and Lu Qi to carefully hand over the military administration, warehousing, and palace confinement of Jingzhao Mansion. King Ji came with more than a dozen civil and military staff.  After helping King Ji check everything handed over, Lu Qi was responsible for guarding him and would always be with King Ji.  After five days of handover, Shen Yilun set off for Kaifeng Mansion in peace. When he went to Kaifeng Mansion, he could enter the political hall and become the deputy prime minister in charge of state affairs. Normally, there were gains and losses. He was the boss in Jingzhao Mansion, but his life was easy.  It was very hard and the responsibility was too great. When I arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, I became a humble minister, but I was able to relax a lot.  As soon as Shen Yilun left, Lu Qicai went to take over the 20,000 Huizhou Army. In fact, the general of the Huizhou Army met with him on the first day. This time he went to the military camp to stay for a few days to strengthen military discipline and morale.  Now Jingzhao Prefecture has more than 70,000 troops, including 30,000 troops transferred back from Hehuang Prefecture, 20,000 troops from Huizhou, and the original 20,000 troops of Jingzhao Prefecture, but the original 20,000 troops were also newly transferred from Kaifeng Prefecture.  The original 20,000 troops were transferred to Yuanzhou and became the military force of the Pingliang Governor's Office.  In addition to the more than 70,000 troops stationed in Chang'an City, Shen Yilun was also the military envoy of Fengxiang Army. There were 10,000 military envoys in Fengxiang, and there were 6,000 Yongxing military envoys in Shangzhou southeast of Chang'an City. However, Zhou  The emperor did not give King Ji control over the military envoys outside Chang'an City. In other words, King Ji's military power was not as good as that of Shen Yilun, and he could only control the more than 70,000 troops stationed in Chang'an City.  After Lu Qi arrived in Chang'an City, he only trained his 20,000-strong army and said nothing about King Ji's management of Jingzhao Mansion. His only request was that King Ji could not leave his 2,000-strong army to protect him.  He told King Ji privately that his two thousand army guards were more trustworthy than his one thousand Forbidden Army guards. In fact, he told King Ji that he should be wary of one thousand Forbidden Army. King Ji accepted Lu Qi's request, but for three thousand  The guard army was a two-to-one mixed guard force, which did not alienate the thousand imperial guards.  Days passed by, and it had been two months since Lu Qi left Kaifeng Mansion. He had been stationed in Chang'an City for more than a month, but he had never received an order to march to Taiyuan. Seeing that if he did not march, it would be early spring.  Lu Qi felt strange. Could it be that he had made a mistake in judgment?  Lu Qi would never have expected that Emperor Zhou did have a strategy to attack Taiyuan, but there was a big flaw in the planned strategy. The prince of Zhou was ill and it was difficult to walk. The imperial doctor diagnosed him with severe wind-cold and needed to be nursed back to health. As a result,  , Emperor Zhou shelved his strategy of sending troops to Taiyuan.  News of the attack on Taiyuan has been silent, but military intelligence from various places in the west has quietly gathered into Lu Qi's hands, especially the military intelligence from Hehuang, which surprised Lu Qi.  The Xining Governor's Mansion in Hehuang sent Lu Qi military information about the Longxi Governor's Mansion, saying thatThe military strength of the Western Governor's Mansion is making preparations for departure. It seems that they are going to make internal transfers, but the direction of the internal transfers cannot be determined.  Wang Yansheng's military strength was about to be transferred internally. This military situation aroused Lu Qi's various speculations. If Wang Yansheng transferred his military strength internally, it would inevitably make the defense of the Longxi Governor's Mansion empty. However, Lu Qi did not receive a military notification from the Zhou court.  , could it be that Wang Yansheng wanted to abandon the defense of several states in Longxi privately?  If Wang Yansheng abandoned his defense, where would Wang Yansheng's 30,000 troops go?  Whether to respond to Zhao Kuangyi's rebellion or to assist Zhao Kuangyi in attacking Jingzhou? If there is a rebellion, Wang Yansheng's military strength should go directly to Jingzhao Mansion. But if Wang Yansheng goes directly to Jingzhao Mansion, he will inevitably be pursued by the military strength of the Xining Governor's Mansion and Huizhou's military strength.  Because Lu Qi is in Jingzhao Mansion.  Lu Qi thought carefully for a long time, and finally made a decision and strategy. He wrote a strategic idea and suggestions, and asked Xiaoqing to send it to Jingzhou and hand it over to Qingwen, who then presented it to Gu Taiwei and Guan  Rush to convey.  Lu Qi's wrist-breaking strategy is to allow Guan Chong to abandon Jingzhou based on military conditions and retreat to the south of the river. This means that if the attacking Zhou army is strong, it can retreat from Jingzhou and gather Jingzhou's military forces south of the river.  Qi suggested that it is not advisable to fight to the death with the Zhou army. After abandoning Jingzhou, the focus was on destroying Wei first.  Lu Qi's suggestion stated that the existence of Wei restricted the use of Jin's military power. Destroying Wei first could stabilize Jin's people, and even if Jin gave up Jingzhou, it would not lose its control over Zhou.  He took the initiative in the war because he already occupied Hexi and Hehuang. When the time was right, he could respond to the Jin army's invasion of the Central Plains.  Lu Qi asked Guan Chong and Qingwen to be prepared to abandon Jingzhou, move the population and food away from Jingzhou first, but not to destroy the buildings in Jingzhou, and prepare their military strength to finally cross the river, that is, to strengthen the walls and clear the country, leaving it to the Zhou army.  An empty space.  Lu Qi's wrist-breaking strategy actually hid a conspiracy. The conspiracy was to allow Zhao Kuangyi to obtain meritorious service. If Zhao Kuangyi invaded Jingzhou, the most uncomfortable person would be the Zhou Emperor. If Zhao Kuangyi invaded Jingzhou, his ambitions would inevitably expand further.  , and if Zhao Kuangyi secretly transferred Wang Yan to increase his military strength, the result would only be rebellion.  Ten days later, Xiaoqing returned and told Lu Qi that Guan Chong accepted Lu Qi's wrist-breaking strategy and immediately implemented the relocation of Jingzhou's population and food. Guan Chong also believed that superior military forces should be assembled to destroy Wei, but there was no letter from Lu Qi.  , no one in Jin dared to give up Jingzhou voluntarily, they could only fight to the death, and they could only escape if they were defeated.  Lu Qi was pleased after hearing this. He estimated that if Zhao Kuangyi attacked Jingzhou, he could muster at least 300,000 troops. However, Lu Qi felt that Zhao Kuangyi should not mobilize Wang Yansheng's troops. Once Wang Yansheng abandoned the defense, Lu Qi could only let Xining's troops make up the defense. Otherwise, Lu Qi felt that Zhao Kuangyi should not mobilize Wang Yansheng's troops.  There will be a disadvantage to Hehuang's defense.  "And if Lu Qi is allowed to occupy several states in Longxi, it will be adjacent to Qinzhou and Fengzhou. Fengzhou is the area around Fengxiang, and Fengxiang is the west gate of Chang'an City.
