Chapter 54 Cooperation
It can be seen that in order to attract Lu Qiang, Liu Yu really did not hesitate to send more than 20 Qiandan ships to welcome Lu Qiang and his subordinates.
It's just that Lu Qiang can no longer be encircled by anyone at this time. However, Liu Yu's move made him very wary.
Liu Yu seems to be very clear about the things around him. Is there someone in his team, or has he been paying attention to himself?
It's useless to think about this now, but we must never give anyone a chance to control themselves.
Seeing that the team got on the boat, Lu Qiang turned his head and said to Fan Cheng, "With the kindness of General Liu Yu, I just suddenly came up with an idea. If I go empty-handed, I'm afraid it won't look good in front of other generals, so please tell General Liu Yu that I'm going to make contributions for him first and then visit him."
"What? You... Are you going back to Jiankang with me?
Fan Cheng obviously didn't expect Lu Qiang to suddenly do this, and he was a little overwhelmed for a moment.
"I heard that Xunyang has a heavy defense. General Liu Yu only sent people all the way. I'm afraid he can't capture Xunyang in a short time! So I'm going to help, wait for the day of success, and then go to Jiankang"
Lu Qiang is completely loyal to Liu Yu, and what he said is reasonable, but Fan Cheng always feels that something is wrong. He pondered for a moment and said, "It's actually like this, then I'll go to Xunyang with Brother Lu, otherwise I'm afraid the fleet can't completely obey Brother Lu's orders."
This boy's head reacts fast enough, but if he follows me and wants to go back, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.
The plan has never changed quickly. The people who originally planned to pretend to be Liu Yu were fooled around, but they didn't expect to really get on Liu Yu's warship.
In fact, Lu Qiang has another meaning that he wants to go to Xunyang, that is, he heard that Sima Dewen, that is, his own brother, was imprisoned there, and he really wanted to meet Sima Dewen.
Wh including Wang Shenai, they are all spiritual relatives, while Sima Dewen is his real blood relatives. Although Lu Qiang has no relationship with him, the blood flowed the same blood in their veins. In addition, when he was in Yong'an Palace, Lu Qiang could feel this brother's sincere care for him.
So Lu Qiang is going to see him. Even if he can't take him away, he will not be hurt as much as possible.
The news here was soon sent to Jiankang. When he heard that Lu Qiang boarded Liu Yu's boat, Liu Yi's lungs almost exploded, but he did not regret it. Such a good person was forced away by himself.
Although he was very angry, Liu Yi was not in the mood to care about this matter now, because after Liu Yu reorganized the soldiers and horses left by Huan Xuan, the army also soared to more than 100,000, much more than him, and the army was stationed at the foot of Fuzhou Mountain and could enter Jiankang at any time.
And after several assignments, there are only 670,000 people left by his army. It is no longer realistic to fight with Liu Yu.
It was because of Liu Yu that some ministers who originally supported him in the court began to become ambiguous about him. This is what makes him angry the most.
Liu Yu's attitude is also very thought-provoking. He has been practicing outside Jiankang City all day, but he doesn't go to the city at all, and he doesn't know what he has thought.
In fact, Liu Yi already knew that Liu Yu sent people to save the Abandoned Emperor, and he sent his brothers out. In fact, the intention was similar, but it was not to save people, but to tell Liu Kun to wait for the opportunity to kill the Abandoned Emperor, and then he summoned hundreds of officials in Jiankang to set up a new king, and even the candidate for this new king. It is a three-year-old Sima royal family.
However, there is no news from Xunyang, and of course he dares not act rashly.
Without the emperor, a puppet that can be endorsed, Liu Yi can't be in a hurry to seal his official position, not to mention that Liu Yu is staring at him outside!
So he is worried! I don't even have the mood for a beautiful woman these days.
Today, a special guest came to his house.
Liu Yi was a little surprised by the sudden visit of this old man, because he had heard that this old man could not be seen by ordinary people in Jiankang.
From the pseudo-imperial Huan Xuan to the officials and the people, they all believed in him very much. Liu Yi also heard that many officials have worshipped him as their teachers. It can be said that he is a Taoist monk, but he is very influential in Jiankang's officialdom.
If it hadn't been for this reason, Liu Yi would not have seen him.
Tiansong came to see Liu Yi. To be precise, it was because he didn't get what he wanted from Liu Yu. Liu Yu's city was too deep, which made Tiansong feel uncertain.
With the help of Huan Xuan, Jiankang now has his disciples and grandchildren almost everywhere from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, but there is one place where he can't get in, that is, Jiankang's garrison.
When Huan Xuan was there, he had already been inserted, but he didn't expect Huan Xuan to fail so quickly that all his plans failed.
Now Liu Yu refuses to enter the city, and Tiansong can see that these two tigers must be injured. Of course, he hopes to find an obedient tiger to carry out his plan.
With this idea, he took the initiative to come to the door.
"The immortal master is coming, and there is a long way to welcome, please forgive me"
Now there are not many people who can welcome Liu Yi to the door of the hall, which is very much to give Tiansong face.
Tiansong was very reserved and slightly checked his head and said, "It's a sin to come uninvited. I have heard of General Liu's prestige for a long time. Today, it really lives up to its reputation!"
The two said something unnutritiously, entered the living room and sat down. The maid sent tea and retreated out. There were only Liu Yi and Tiansong in the hall, but they suddenly calmed down because they didn't know what to say.
While Tiansong observes Liu Yi, Liu Yi is also thinking about Tiansong's intention.
After a while, Tiansong suddenly smiled and said, "The general doesn't need to specify the intention of the poor road. To be honest, the poor road is to solve the problem for the general."
"Oh! What's wrong with this general?"
They are all surnamed Liu, and this guy is much easier to deal with than Liu Yu.
"The emperor did not return, the court could not operate, the general could not get the reward he wanted, and Liu Yu's army outside the city was staring at him. Aren't these the general's worries?
Tian Song knows what Liu Yi wants, so he is sure to eat Liu Yi.
Tiansong's words came to Liu Yi's bones. He looked at Tiansong coldly for a while before saying, "The Taoist priest is a monk. Why do you care so much about these ordinary things?"
Tiansong smiled and said, "General is quick to speak quickly, which is admirable. Since the general asked, then the poor way will be straightforward."
"Poor Taoism is a monk. Naturally, I hope that the world will be peaceful and my Taoism will flourish. But if today's program is disordered, the generals and soldiers are self-respecting, and the people are displaced, how can the poor road have the heart to stand by? So I want to help the general reorganize the dynasty as soon as possible, sweep away the rebellion, and save the people from water and fire."
Tiansong's words are righteous and awe-inspiring. People who don't know his details are really easy to be stunned by him, but Liu Yi is not a three-year-old child.
This old bastard is very influential among the senior officials and dignitaries of Jiankang. If he is really willing to help me, he may also get unexpected results.
Thinking of this, Liu Yi stood up, held his fist and saluted Tiansong, and said, "The Taoist priest is compassionate. Liu thanked the Taoist priest first on behalf of the people of the world. I don't know how he can help me?"
Two people have their own needs, so there is no need to beat around the bush.
"The poor Tao knows what the general is thinking about, which is nothing more than his name and bad words. In fact, this is a small matter. The general can summon courtiers to choose a prestigious person from the Sima royal family, and say that he will act as the national politics before the emperor returns."
"What the Taoist priest said, it's not that I haven't thought about it, but I'm afraid that the courtiers won't agree!"
"Hehe! This matter will be handled by the poor road. Tomorrow, I will go to the court and keep it for a satisfactory reply to the general."
If you have been thinking about things for a long time, can you do it in a day? Liu Yizhen is a little skeptical, but of course he would rather believe in this kind of thing.
Hold your fist again and said, "If this happens, I will thank the Taoist priest"
"Hehe! The monks don't care about those false profits, but it's really a small thing to say that they want the general to help."
"Taoist priest, please speak"
"There are several vulgar disciples of poor Taoism. Although they have practiced martial arts, they have nothing to do with Taoism, so they are shameless and want to ask the general to give them a future. I don't know if the general can agree?"
"What do I do? It's a small thing"
Speaking of this, Liu Yi's heart suddenly moved and asked, "Since your disciples are all good at martial arts, are they good at assassination?"
"The poor Tao has warned his disciples to practice martial arts in order to kill the enemy and serve the country. Even if they take revenge in private, they will kill those heinous people."
"Hey! To tell the truth, there was originally a general with strong martial arts in the army, and he has always valued him very much. Unexpectedly, this person is erratic. With the help of the enemy, he assassinated my general, which almost caused a disaster, and now he has rebelled against our army. Although I have repeatedly sent people to kill him, I suffer that no one is his opponent and I don't know how long..."
"Everyone will be killed by such a treacherous tycophant. The general is relieved that the poor way will let his disciples take his head. I don't know who his surname is?"
"His name is Lu Qiang, and now he is on his way to Xunyang"
One is dedicated to the court, the other is dedicated to the people, and the impassioned words of two "loyal" people have been coming from Liu Yi's hall...
The warships were moving forward against the wind and waves on the river. The battle flag was hunting in the wind, and dozens of curious water birds circled around the warship, as if escorting them.
Looking at Lu Qiang standing in the bow of the ship with his hands on his back, Wang Zhen wanted to speak several times, but finally swallowed his words back.
In fact, after getting on the boat, he has been looking for an opportunity to persuade Lu Qiang. According to his idea, Lu Qiang should lead his troops to go straight to Jingzhou. Although it was Huan Xuan's nest, once Huan Xuan fled by boat and sailed against the water, he must only go to Jingzhou first.
As long as Lu Qiang arrives in Jingzhou first and controls Jiangling, he can completely strangle Huan Xuan's retreat.
Although Huan Xuan started his father in Jingzhou, he has now defected from his relatives. Lu Qiang's preemptive occupation of Jingzhou seems to be very dangerous, and once he succeeds, the rewards are also rich.
Jingzhou is rich in money and grain, and the waterways are vertical and horizontal, and it connects Bashu. It is an excellent place for recuperation and recuperation.
As long as he can occupy Jingzhou, Lu Qiang will definitely accumulate capital to compete for the world in less than three years.
Wang Zhenvil believes that Lu Qiang can understand this idea, but he doesn't know why he must go to Xunyang.
In fact, Lu Qiang did not know that Xunyang was already an empty city at this time, and his brother Sima Dewen had been clamped by Huan Xuan and fled to Jingzhou Office and Jiangling.
