    After dusk, Lu Qi changed into a robe, and Fang Jie each rode a horse out of the military camp. After running eastward for more than twenty miles, he saw a military camp with hundreds of horses. It was the five hundred soldiers who came with Fang Jie.  Soldiers.  When he saw that Fang Jie was back, the camp general was relieved, but when he saw Lu Qi returning with Fang Jie, his expression changed and he hesitated.  "Captain Xiong." Lu Qi called with a smile after dismounting.  The camp general suddenly woke up and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "I pay homage to your majesty, long live my emperor." The camp general knelt down, and all the soldiers knelt down. Lu Qiping said calmly: "Everyone, please stand up and pull out the camp.  "No!" Lieutenant Xiong responded respectfully, stood up and ordered to leave. A battalion of soldiers escorted Lu Qi and rushed to the bank of Jialing River.  Xingzhou is adjacent to the east of Jiezhou. There is the Jialing River flowing from east to west in Xingzhou. The Jin State's 500,000 troops marched into Hanzhong. Just the garrison covered a lot of places. There were 100,000 Baling troops stationed along the Jialing River in Xingzhou.  700,000 troops invaded Bashu and Hanzhong. The most difficult thing was the supply and livelihood relief in the later stage. Fang Jie said that there were warships to transport military supplies, which could feed the army and relieve the people's livelihood. However, Lu Qi knew that the food of Jin State was not obtained from  Inexhaustible, the grain to support Bashu must be stored in storage warehouses. If too much of the stored grain is used, then next year if God is not open to the consequences, there will be a food shortage.  After running for half the night, they arrived at the camp on the bank of the Jialing River before midnight. Lu Qi rested in the camp. After the military training the next morning, the commanders and senior generals of each army came to see him secretly. Lu Qi had some socializing. In the afternoon, Guan  Chong and Du Yong rushed over.  The three met, and after performing the courtesy of the emperor and his ministers, they talked intimately in the commander's tent and exchanged their views on military matters. Judging from the current situation, the Baling Army must return to the Huzhou area to strengthen the defense against Zhao Kuangyin's army. The Baling Army is  The Jin State has the strongest military power and the most sharp weapons.  Du Yong said that Song Laoqing suggested a military replacement, sending most of the surrendered soldiers from Bashu to Tanzhou and Chizhou, and letting the military forces from Chizhou and Tanzhou come to Bashu. At least half must be replaced, otherwise Bashu will easily rebel. At present,  Song Laoqing was purging the remaining military strength of the Han Dynasty.  Lu Qi approved the replacement of military forces, but the military strength in Hanzhong must be maintained at more than 500,000, in order to deter Zhou from easily attacking Hanzhong. Lu Qi wrote an edict, ordering Qingwen to go to Bashu to take charge of the government and assist the army, and promote  Wu Hai stayed behind in Chengdu.  Wu Hai once served as an envoy to capture Jiangling City. Lu Qi originally wanted to reuse him in the army, but Wu Hai instead asked to be the county magistrate. After Wu Hai became the magistrate of Li County for a year, he was promoted to the governor of Lizhou by the imperial court.  Qi asked specifically and found out that Wu Hai was indeed a diligent and capable official. Wu Hai was originally an old subordinate of Guan Chong. Lu Qi reused Wu Hai without scruples, which moved Guan Chong very much. Du Yong left Hanzhong.  After that, Guan Chong will become the supreme commander of Hanzhong's military power.  After communicating with Guan Chong and Du Yong, Lu Qi left the military camp and returned to Jiezhou. Lu Qi was really worried about Longyou, mainly because Tubo had stationed three large tribes in Qinghai, with more than 100,000 Tubo people.  , he has already sent people to negotiate with the Tubo tribe in order to revive the tea-horse trade and seek peace and mutual benefit through trade.  In addition, Lu Qi was not worried about Hexi and Beiting, and was worried about the attacks of Liao Kingdom, Xia Kingdom and Black Khan Uighurs. Zhou Kingdom had to guard against it. Now Cao Bin controlled more than 200,000 Zhou troops in Fengzhou, and there were  Subsequently, the Zhou army was mobilized and assembled. If the Zhou Dynasty made the decision to defend the country from outside, it would probably attack Longyou.  Regarding the fact that the Jin State invaded Hanzhong, Lu Qi was very clear that there were advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantages were clearly stated in the preface. The advantage was that he could gain the support of the Jin State for Longyou. The support was two-sided. First, the military power could provide timely support;  Second, it can open up the trade route from Jiangnan to Hexi. Trade can not only increase the value of Jin's production, but also relieve the financial pressure of Jin.  Lu Qi returned to the Jiezhou military camp and was always paying attention to all information. What worried him most was that the military strength under Cao Bin's control was constantly increasing. The 20,000 Pingliang Dudufu troops originally stationed in Yuanzhou were transferred to Fengzhou.  Of the 25,000 troops stationed in Yanzhou, 20,000 troops were transferred back to Fengzhou. Together with other assembled Zhou troops, Cao Bin's army already exceeded 300,000 troops.  Lu Qi suddenly felt that Emperor Zhou was taking advantage of the loss of Hanzhong and the threat of Jin to use normal means to deprive many local generals of their military power. He had already received military documents from the Zhou court, and Emperor Zhou appointed Prince Ji  In order to be the governor of Guanlong and in charge of all the military forces in the west, Cao Bin was the marshal of the left army of the governor of Guanlong, and Pan Mei was the marshal of the right army. Emperor Zhou finally ignored the consequences of fratricide and supported the "youngest son" to take over the heavy army of Zhou Dynasty.  More than ten days later, Song Laoqing suddenly came to Jiezhou Military Camp to meet the brothers. Song Laoqing first knelt down respectfully to meet Lu Qi, and then the brothers smiled and gave each other a light knock, and sat together happily.  After sitting down, Lu Qi smiled and said: "Old Qing, a lot of officials in Bashu have been purged, right?" Song Laoqing nodded and said:Yes, I killed more than two thousand people. I don't like to keep those officials who have amassed huge wealth and confiscated them. But don't worry, I checked in advance. As long as they have a good reputation or have a good literary reputation.  Yes, I've let it go.  " Lu Qi nodded, and Song Laoqing added: "I heard Du Yong talk about the shortcomings of advancing into Hanzhong, and I also heard that Zhou Guo had the consequences of gathering military strength. It seems that I was wrong. My idea is to help the Zhou Dynasty.  formed a fist.  " "The attack on Hanzhong only gave Emperor Zhou an excuse to gather military power earlier, and I know that it was the inner court that asked you to attack Hanzhong.  " Lu Qiwen said warmly. "The inner court only suggested advancing into Hanzhong. I didn't know that there was a hidden danger of division within Zhou State. In addition, I think that by advancing into Hanzhong, it would force Zhou State to not dare to deal with Longyou, and it would form a three-legged state.  The forces of the Zhou Dynasty were mutually restrained. Without external pressure, it would be difficult for the Zhou State to tolerate His Majesty's separatist rule of Longyou for a long time.  " Song Laoqing expressed his opinion. Lu Qi nodded with a smile and said: "I am also worried that Zhou Guo will suddenly attack Longyou. Everything has pros and cons. If Jin invades Hanzhong, another advantage is to get through it.  Hexi's Silk Road, Jiangnan's silk, porcelain, tea, Hexi's medicinal materials, jade, and gems can be mutually beneficial.  Song Laoqing smiled and said: "Having already invaded Hanzhong, we can only think on the bright side. If the Zhou Kingdom really attacks Longyou, or launches a war against Hanzhong, then we will directly go to hell with the Jin Kingdom."  The military strength was enough to defeat the Zhou Kingdom.  " "Don't talk nonsense. If Zhou Guo was easy to control, I would have launched an aggressive war in the Central Plains. Zhou Guo is a martial country. Just the potential military power in the Central Plains area can recruit millions of brave men. A battle.  After the war in the Central Plains was over, even if the Jin State won, it would still cripple the Central Plains and drag down the Jin State.  " Lu Qi retorted angrily. Song Laoqing smiled and nodded, saying: "I'm just talking. In the final analysis, I am still a soldier and bandit. I just like it and have fun.  " Lu Qi smiled, and Song Laoqing said again: "Tianfeng, let me tell you something about myself. There is a concubine Fei in Chengdu, named Mrs. Huarui, and I have taken a liking to her.  " "Mrs. Huarui?  Well, I've heard that she is said to be a beautiful and talented woman who can conquer the whole country. If you like her, just accept her.  Lu Qi replied with a smile. He once searched for information about the Emperor of Han, and Mrs. Huarui was included in the information. "She is indeed a beauty, but she is a little older. If I can get ahead in this life, I just want to have a few talented women."  "Song Laoqing said gently. Lu Qi nodded and said: "I know, you said it and I said it when we were avoiding trouble together in the past. Now, I have a group of wives and concubines.  " Song Laoqing had a strange smile on his face. He nodded suddenly and whispered: "It was great back then.  " Lu Qi smiled lightly, paused, and said gently: "Old Qing, you stay in Chengdu and become the King of Shu.  " Song Laoqing calmly shook his head after hearing this and said: "If I wanted to be the king of Shu, I would not kill people wantonly, and I don't want to leave my hometown too far. I will spread rumors in Chengdu that you are angry with me for what I did in Bashu.  , and then I will go back. I like Xinzhou. You can first make me the Duke of Xinzhou, and then make me the King of Xinzhou. I will build a big house in Xinzhou in the future so that my descendants can take root in Xinzhou.  " Lu Qi thought for a moment, nodded and said: "That's fine, you can go back and continue to suppress the bandits. I don't trust others to control the local military power to suppress the bandits. Besides, you are also suitable for suppressing bandits.  Song Laoqing narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said: "Let me tell you one more thing. I hired a young lady from the branch of the Yuwen clan. I have been eyeing that little beauty for a long time."  " Lu Qi was slightly stunned, then said angrily: "No wonder you are going to Xinzhou.  "
