    In the early morning, the northeast wind blew through the waves of the river. It was not strong, but it sent a chill through the skin.  At the mouth of Jiujiang, where the water from Poyang Lake flows into the river, thousands of boats are lined up, making it difficult to see them all at a glance. On the river bank, densely packed Wei soldiers are boarding the boats. After 70,000 Wei troops boarded the boats, 900 river boats set sail and sailed up the river.  He went up to Jingzhou.  The next day, the wind was still from the northeast. At nearly noon, the 400,000 Zhou army in Xiangcheng also began to forcefully cross the Han River to attack Jingzhou. The weak northeast wind was beneficial to the Zhou army, and the direction of the wind was the signal for the attack agreed between Wei and the Zhou army.  Two days ago, the imperial edict of the Zhou Dynasty arrived in Xiangcheng, appointing Pan Mei as the Shannan Provincial Envoy, in charge of the military and political affairs of Xiangzhou and Jingzhou, Zhao Kuangyi as the forward envoy to assist in military affairs, and Lu Tianfeng as the forward supervisory envoy, who is also responsible for supervising military and political affairs.  .  After hearing the imperial edict, Lu Qi sent someone to inform Pan Mei, and he left camp and headed east, saying that he was going to the lower reaches of the Han River to find a place to attack. Emperor Zhou had already secretly told Pan Mei that there was no need to continue to seek to detain Lu Tianfeng, so by  Lu Tianfeng led his army away.  Even if the emperor did not cancel the order, Pan Mei could not do anything to Lu Tianfeng. He could not take the initiative to fight with his soldiers. The emperor's intention was very clear. He must not cause the court to treat Lu Tianfeng badly. He just wanted to secretly detain Lu Tianfeng, and then the army went to take over Hehuang.  He and Longxi also told Zhao Kuangyi the same thing. He detained Zhao Kuangyi and recruited Xiangzhou's military forces. After that, the emperor asked Zhao Kuangyi and Lu Tianfeng to return to Kaifeng Mansion to serve as court officials. The subjective purpose was to reduce military power, not to kill them.  Pan Mei was really heartwarming. Lu Tianfeng's alertness surprised him. In fact, he really wanted to take down Lu Tianfeng. Pan Mei was very jealous of Lu Tianfeng. Pan Mei's jealousy did not stem from the incident in Hehuang, but the incident in Hexi. Back then,  He was one of the commanders of ten thousand soldiers who entered Hexi, but he suffered a disastrous defeat. Only less than two thousand of his ten thousand soldiers were left. Now he has heard about many captured soldiers, which is tantamount to exposing his shame.  scar.  Lu Qi's so-called search for a place to attack was actually to avoid the Zhou army. Just the day before the Zhou army launched an attack on Jingzhou, he had already crossed the Han River and set foot on Jingzhou, while 30,000 soldiers stayed in Han.  The north of the water was led by the disguised Xiaodie. He and Xiaoqing crossed the Han River and met Qingwen and Guan Chong who came to greet them.  After meeting, Guan Chong was a little excited when he met Lu Qi. Lu Qi smiled and helped Guan Chong up. They talked closely and got a rough understanding of the situation in Jingzhou. Jingzhou now only has 70,000 Jin troops, and most of the population has moved away.  , and less than half of the population refused to leave their hometown. Qingwen took charge and ordered not to force them.  Lu Qi changed into a captain's uniform and went to Jiangxia with Qingwen. Guan Chong returned to take charge of military affairs. The 50,000 troops will resist moderately at the Han River and then evacuate. There are still 20,000 troops in Jiangxia and Wei Jun.  After the attack, evacuate to Jiangling City and take a boat from Jiangling City to the south of the river.  As soon as she got into the car, Qingwen threw herself into Lu Qi's arms, sobbing hysterically. Lu Qi felt guilty and hugged Qingwen lovingly. He knew that Qingwen not only suffered from the pain of longing, but also suffered from tremendous pressure and pain.  Worried, Xiaoqing sat opposite, also in tears.  After a long time, Qingwen's mood calmed down. She stood up and hugged Lu Qi's right arm, and said resentfully: "The master is back, so don't leave. The slaves and mistresses are very worried." "Qingwen, I don't  If you can't go back, Hexi and Hehuang need my supervision. It won't take long for us to be reunited for a long time," Lu Qiwen replied.  "Sir, I feel that once the Wei Kingdom is destroyed, there is no need for you to take risks. Our strength is enough to defeat Zhou Guoli." Qingwen dissuaded.  "Qingwen, if I give up my power in Hexi, the Jin State will fall into a protracted war with the Zhou State in the future. Ten years, twenty years, year after year will be consumed by the war, just like the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, which was endless.  The battle continues for a long time." Lu Qi explained.  "If I go back again, it will always be dangerous. Sooner or later, Zhou Guo will find out my true identity." Qingwen said worriedly.  Lu Qi shook his head with a smile and said: "If I go back again, there is no need for me to take risks anymore. I have already planted a soft knife inside the Zhou Kingdom. I only need to watch quietly as the Zhou Kingdom disintegrates." "Soft knife?"  What soft knife?" Qingwen asked confused.  "The soft knife is invisible prestige. Through Buddhism, commerce, military power, and official prestige, it gradually invades the hearts of the Zhou people. Zhou is a powerful military god, but his inner soul is fragile and prone to troubles.  The soul is divided and fighting internally, and I have become a part of the soul of the Zhou Kingdom. As long as I am patient, I can dominate Kong Wu's powerful body. At least, the internal battles in the Central Plains will not let the Zhou Kingdom's  People's hearts are extremely hostile," Lu Qi explained vividly.  "The master is saying that in the future, when advancing to the north, it is best to use the military power in Hexi." Qingwen said.  "It's not certain, but using troops from Hexi to invade the Central Plains will be better than sending troops from Jiangnan."Success in many trades and internal disputes will make some people and forces in the Zhou Kingdom wait and see, and it will be easy to gain attachment. If troops are sent from Jiangnan, the people of the Zhou Kingdom will be united in hatred.  Internal disputes are like brothers fighting for the master of the family. The slaves and relatives will wait and see psychologically to wait for the result. If an outsider comes to take over, the whole family will fight against the outsider to the death.  " Lu Qi said with a smile. Qingwen nodded in understanding and said: "If the master goes to Zhou Kingdom again, how long will it take to see success? Is there really no danger?  " "It's only been a year or two. After the Wei Kingdom was overthrown this time, we were able to gather military forces to attack the Bashu and Han Kingdoms. Previously, the Zhou Dynasty court had already allowed the Hexi military to take over several states in Longxi. After the Jingzhou War,  The 10,000 cavalrymen I left in the north of the Han River will first leave and go back to the west, directly occupying Qinzhou. From Qinzhou, you can look at the city of Chang'an in the east and the land of Bashu in the west.  " Lu Qi replied. Qingwen nodded and said: "If the master occupies Qinzhou and Chengzhou, and Jin invades the west of Bashu's Jiange, then there will be a narrow passage, and even Hanzhong can be captured.  Then the entire Jin territory was completely formed.  " Lu Qi smiled and said: "It seems that you have understood the geography of Longyou and Bashu, but Hanzhong cannot make progress for the time being. Hanzhong is in the hands of the Zhou State, and it can contain the Zhou State's garrison. Only the Zhou State's garrison can isolate it to avoid  It was suspected, because if they were adjacent, it would be impossible for Hexi's military power and Jin's military power to go without war.  " Qingwen nodded, and Lu Qi said again: "When I go back to the Kingdom of Zhou, I will not go to Kaifeng Mansion again. Because I have been to Kaifeng Mansion and I have already expressed my sincerity that I am a minister of the Zhou Kingdom, so I will stay in Hehuang.  , refusing to go to Kaifeng Mansion again on the pretext of defending against Tibet.  " Qingwen nodded and said softly: "That slave will feel more at ease.  " Lu Qiyi smiled and reached out to stroke Qingwen's hair. Qingwen said resentfully: "I am now the supreme master of ten thousand times. It's really not time for me to take risks myself.  " Lu Qi smiled and said gently: "I am a scout. What I am best at is going deep into the enemy's heart and beheading him to win. I need to have a courageous heart to try my best to gain the glory of life. When one day I am greedy for life and afraid of death,  I can only become the so-called Supreme Being of Ten Thousand Times, hiding in the deep palace to guide the country, and make hundreds of thousands of soldiers sacrifice their lives in exchange for my glory.  " "Master, it's wrong for you to think that way.  "Qingwen said in panic. "There is nothing wrong. Because my origin is a low life, I pity the low life of others. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was born in a noble family, so he could only hide in the deep palace and give guidance to the country, fearing death.  , but I know that maybe more than ten years later, I will also become Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it will be difficult for me to go to the battlefield in person again.  " Lu Qi said with a faint smile. Qingwen shook her head and said: "I think what the master said is a bit biased. As an emperor, of course you must cherish your life.  " Lu Qi smiled and said gently: "What you said makes sense, but I don't want to lose my courage prematurely. In fact, I already cherish my life very much now, not only for myself, but also for you and the children.  To cherish.  " "The slave has no children yet, but Xuexin has a son.  " Qingwen responded resentfully. Lu Qi moved his big hand to caress Qingwen's plump buttocks, and said with an ambiguous chuckle: "Tonight, I can plant it.  " Qingwen shyly turned around and pressed close to Lu Qi. Xiaoqing sat opposite her in a reserved posture, peeping with a blushing face.
