    The ladies from Hexi only stayed in Jiezhou County for half a day and one night. It was dark the next day, and escorted by a thousand soldiers, they detoured to Hanzhong in the direction of Hexi. Xiaodie also went, and she was still the eldest sister of the ladies.  As soon as the ladies left, Lu Qi also left Jiezhou to inspect the prefectures outside Hexi, understand and care about the people's livelihood, and visit the soldiers. He returned to Jiezhou near the end of the year, and quietly went to his home in Xingyuan Mansion to spend time with his lover.  The children had a warm New Year and naturally met and drank with the senior generals of Hanzhong.  The calm days flowed away, and the cold winter left in a blink of an eye. Spring came to Longyou under the blow of the south wind. Forty thousand troops from Hexi had arrived in Xizhou to station, and one hundred thousand troops from Jin were divided into ten batches and stationed in Hexi.  Grassland area.  Xu Xuan, who served as the governor of Qingzhou, responded to Xiao Zhili's request and made a casual promotion of life-saving food for Lu Qi. However, Lin Zhihe never replied. Shouxian County replied, saying that the envoys had gone to do business.  Qilu and other places sued.  Zhu Wu's report was also transferred to Lu Qi. Zhu Wuyan had basically controlled most of Goryeo. In order to obtain long-term peace and order and prevent Goryeo from rebelling after sending troops to Yan, he moved the 200,000 Goryeo population to Jin in batches.  , and received reinforcements from the Song Laoqing Army on Koryo Island. It is currently estimated that Koryo Island has a population of one million.  After reading the report, Lu Qi knew that Zhu Wu¡¯s strategy was to seize the capital of Goryeo in one fell swoop after landing, and capture the Goryeo Emperor and many Goryeo nobles, because Goryeo had always only focused on the situation in the Central Plains and the Yan Kingdom, and never thought that it would come from the sea.  With so many enemy troops, Goryeo was caught off guard and was captured by the central government.  After Zhuwu captured Goryeo and opened the capital, he established the surrendered Goryeo Emperor as the puppet King of Goryeo. He established the Andong Protectorate in accordance with Lu Qi's previous permission, carried out military and appeasement occupation of Goryeo Island, and controlled the soldiers who went out on expeditions.  It was claimed that the occupation of Koryo Island was to cooperate with Jiangnan's military power to advance into the Central Plains. Only with a practical military purpose could the soldiers recognize the great strategic significance of the occupation of Koryo Island.  Zhu Wu said that Goryeo was basically under control, and Lu Qi believed it, because the expeditionary force led by Zhu Wu included 15,000 divine crossbow troops. As long as Goryeo had a foothold in the capital, Goryeo's King Qin's military strength would be at a loss.  Like a moth flying into a flame, the Divine Arm Crossbow's defensive and lethality is extremely powerful.  In order to prevent the 200,000 Koreans who had moved to Jin from rebelling, Lu Qi wrote to Xin Qin'er, suggesting that most of the Koreans be moved to Bashu, and 80,000 of them would be diverted from Bashu to move to Hexi.  Before Lu Qi could wait for Xin Qin'er's reply, Xizhou Military Forces received an urgent military report. Emperor Zhou notified Xizhou Military Forces to prepare to cooperate with the imperial court in attacking Taiyuan. After Lu Qi received the report, he immediately led 20,000 cavalry troops to rush there.  After arriving in Xizhou, Xiaodie was asked to take charge of Longyou and coordinate the cooperation between Longyou and Hanzhong military forces.  Lu Qi led the cavalry to Xizhou successfully, leaving Xizhou with 30,000 cavalry. Lu Qi only left 10,000 cavalry to garrison in Qinzhou. There was no formal cavalry in Hexi, but they were stationed secretly.  One hundred thousand Jin troops.  Because Lu Qi often mobilized his troops for defense, one hundred thousand Jin troops, wrapped in sheepskins and wearing fur hats, entered Hexi without attracting any attention. Moreover, it involved military affairs, so civilians and officials did not dare to pay attention. They only knew that since Hexi  A lot of troops were transferred from outside and stationed in the grasslands near the Qilian Mountains, while a lot of troops also left Hexi.  Lu Qicai arrived in Xizhou, and the leading coaches from Xizhou came to see him. Coach Zhang Yan introduced Lu Qi to a Dangxiang man. The Dangxiang man was wearing leather armor and was a man in his thirties, with a thick beard and a very powerful appearance.  "Shaye, Fangdang clan, pays homage to the Duke of the country." The party members respectfully paid homage to Lu Qi.  Lu Qi smiled and said: "You are the Fangdang clan, what can I do?" "My lord, Sha Ye was ordered to tell my lord that there will be Liao troops bypassing the Zhe clan's defense in Fuzhou. Since Pingxia  The grassland entered Suizhou, and it is said that the Duke of Jin colluded with the Liao army." Sha Ye replied.  Lu Qi nodded calmly and said: "So, the Xia Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom have formed an alliance." "My lord, the Xia Kingdom only lent the road to the Liao Army and did not jointly send troops with the Liao Army. Our Fangdang clan is absolutely unwilling to do so."  Most of the eight clans in Dangxiang who were enemies of the Duke of Guo were unwilling to fight against the Duke of Guo. Even the royal family, the Tuoba clan, was also very divided, so the King of Xia could only lend a way to the Liao army," Sha Ye explained.  .  Lu Qi nodded and asked, "How much strength can the Liao army bring?" "I don't know." Sha Ye replied.  Lu Qi nodded and said: "I will remember your contribution. You can go to Yalan to receive the reward in the future, and also thank Lord Fangdang on my behalf." "Yes, Saya thanks the reward, Saya will retire." Saya responded respectfully and left.  .  As soon as Shaye left, Zhang Yan said: "My lord, now that the Yellow River has just frozen, if the Liao army really marches into Suizhou, it can cross the Yellow River and attack Shizhou and Xizhou." "The Liao army came by this way."Aren't you afraid of getting into your pocket? The Xia Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom have also been hostile for a long time. They can turn against each other and attack behind their backs. At that time, there was the Zhe clan in Fuzhou in the north blocking the way, making it impossible to escape.  "Another coach, Zhao Ke, said. "With the collusion of the Duke of Jin, the Liao army naturally did not want to miss the opportunity to attack the Central Plains.  "Zhang Yan said. After listening to Zhang Yan's words, the coaches all looked at Lu Qi. If the Liao army really came through the road, the first one to bear the brunt would be the military strength stationed in Xizhou. Whether to fight or not to fight can only be decided by the superior.  Lu Qi looked calm and said nothing. He went directly to inspect the garrison. After the patrol, he returned to the commander's tent and asked the guards to take the four treasures of the study. He took a pen and sketched out the strategy. Lu Qi knew in his heart that if the Duke of Jin was the  The collusion with the Liao Kingdom was partly forced by the Zhou Emperor. The Zhou Emperor asked him to station troops in Xizhou, which was tantamount to an aggressive attitude towards Taiyuan. The Zhou Emperor still wanted to deal with the Duke of Jin first, instead of dealing with Zhao Kuangyin.  However, it is also possible that the envoys of the Jin State colluded with the Liao State and let Emperor Zhou's spies in Taiyuan know about it. That's why Emperor Zhou asked Lu Qi to deploy troops to station in Xizhou after the poisonous pill incident happened, but he didn't care about the truth.  What is it? It is already a fact that the Duke of Jin colluded with the Liao army. In addition, the order sent by Emperor Zhou to the Xizhou army clearly stated that the prince was the commander-in-chief of the attack on Taiyuan. This made Lu Qi very puzzled. Emperor Zhou  It was obvious that he had promoted Prince Ji as his heir, so why did he let the crown prince lead the army to invade Taiyuan? Lu Qi believed that Emperor Zhou's approach was very unwise. He should decisively choose one of the crown princes and support him. The consequences of supporting two sons were not  After some deliberation, Lu Qi issued an order, ordering 20,000 infantry troops to leave Xizhou for Yinzhou, ordering the soldiers and civilians of Shizhou to move to Yinzhou City as much as possible, and also ordered Xizhou to take shelter.  The residents fled, and it was made clear that Taiyuan's troops would probably attack Shizhou and Xizhou, without mentioning the possible crisis from the direction of Xia. Five days later, the Suizhou garrison fled to Xizhou in panic, reporting that there were at least 100,000 Liao troops.  They attacked Suizhou, with 50,000 cavalry among them. Lu Qi did not resist, but ordered the army to march eastward, leaving Xizhou and retreating toward Luoyang. Lu Qi only retreated for half a day. The Liao army from Suizhou and the Liao army from Taiyuan  Fifty thousand troops attacked Xizhou almost at the same time. After the Liao army and the Jin army were defeated, the two armies were stationed in Xizhou for a day before launching troops to pursue Lu Qi's army in the direction of Luoyang. While Lu Qi was retreating, Jing.  King Ji of Zhaofu had already received Lu Qi's military intelligence report, and immediately and decisively sent 200,000 troops to the northeast to support Luoyang. While Lu Qi retreated, he continued to send out emergency military intelligence, informing the soldiers and civilians of the Liao Army and Jin in the prefectures and counties.  The Duke's military force was attacking, and he also asked Luoyang Liubei to immediately mobilize local troops to join forces with him. Luoyang Liubei was now the King of Cao. After receiving Lu Qi's letter asking for help, he actually wrote back and ordered Lu Qi to stop the Liao army and not retreat to Luoyang.  Lu Qi was angry after reading the reply, and ordered the messenger to be killed. The army continued to retreat towards Luoyang. Lu Qi was really angry. He suspected that Emperor Zhou had deliberately framed him. Although the Liao army took advantage of the Xia Kingdom, it was unexpected, but Emperor Zhou was likely to do so.  Knowing that the Duke of Jin colluded with the Liao army, he should be reminded, but he did not know that Emperor Zhou was sick for a long time after his anger that day.
