Chapter 118 Initiatives

Liu Yu calculated everything, but missed Sma Dewen's reaction.

It is still reasonable for Sima Dewen to help Lu Qiang, but what is Liu Yi? He almost squatted on Sma Dewen's shoulder. Why did Sima Dewen help him? Is he the one who took the wrong medicine?

I can't figure it out. I really can't figure it out.

Liu Yu's plan was to force Liu Yi to leave by himself in full view of the public, and then he could calmly arrange Liu Yi's charges and completely lose Liu Yi's position in the court.

But now it doesn't work. The emperor wants to protect Liu Yi like a convulsion. Although the emperor is just a decoration, at least on the surface, civil and military officials have to listen to this decoration.

Just as Liu Yu and others were thinking about emergency countermeasures, Liu Yi suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled. After a while, he bowed down to Sima Dewen and said, "The old minister thank you for your kindness, but the old minister is also ashamed to be a minister with such treacherous sies. Your Majesty, take care, the old minister will leave."

After saying that, Liu Yi ignored Liu Yu, Wang Mi and others and turned around and left.

This is not only Liu Yu and others, but also Sima Dewen is stupid. Is there something wrong with Liu Yi's head? I'm here to protect you, but you hold on! With your strength, I will help you, and I can't compete with Liu Yu and others. Now it's okay. Before you do anything, you give up first. Isn't it a waste of time for me?

Seeing Liu Yi leave without looking back, Sima Dewen suddenly said, "Hey!" He smiled and said, "You are busy, you are busy, and I have something else to do, so I won't disturb you."

After saying that, he got up and ran into the harem.

The civil and military officials really opened their eyes today. It turns out that the court can still be like this...

Looking at the direction of Sima Dewen's disappearance, Liu Yu's face was a little gloomy. Sima Dewen had already ruined him once. If Liu Yi hadn't given up today, it would have been hard to say what the final result would be.

What on earth does Sima Dewen want to do? I have tolerated him enough. Does he have to force me to do what I don't want to do?

As soon as Sima Dewen turned into the apse, his face immediately became gloomy. He pondered for a moment, waved to a small eunuch, whispered a few words to him, and asked him to find He Wuji immediately.

Liu Yi left, and the balance of power in the court had been broken. This matter must be known to the royal brother immediately.

Liu Yi did not disappoint Liu Yu. He didn't even return to his house. He went straight out of the city to the barracks, and then led the army to retreat to Guangling.

Liu Yi's decision can be said to be unexpected by many people, because Liu Yi's usual arrogance, they all thought he would go to war with Liu Yu.

Only Liu Yu was not surprised by Liu Yi's decision, because he knew Liu Yi's character too well. Liu Yi was very unwilling, but he would never go to war with him before he was sure. However, although Liu Yi's calculation was good, could he make Liu Yi develop in Guangling at ease?

He Wuji was shocked when he received the news and immediately ordered Lu Qiang to contact the people who stayed in the capital to send the news to Lu Qiang as soon as possible. At the same time, he rushed to the palace to sit in person. Since Liu Yu has taken the first step, who knows what he will do next? Therefore, the safety of the emperor is the first priority.

At the same time, He Wuji knew that Liu Yu drove away Liu Yi. After standing firmly in the court, the next target is likely to be Lu Qiang.

Jiankang can now be said to be full of mountain rain.

Liu Yu's brother Liu Daogui was ordered by Liu Yu. After Liu Yi's people withdrew from Jiankang, he took over the city defense of Jiankang, and then set up a defensive line outside the palace, which was called to protect the emperor. In fact, everyone knows that he was going for Wuji.

Although Liu Yi had no place in the court, there was still a group of stinky feet in the past. Liu Yu's first priority was to remove them first, so after the court announced Liu Yi's guilt, a purge against Liu Yi's former party members also began.

Not long after Liu Yigang retreated, a long-forgotten man pedaled on a merchant ship to Jiangling. This person is Sima Diao.

When Lu Qiang got the news, he had arrived in Guiyang County, the closest to Guangzhou. Feng should have rushed here after receiving the order. Now Guiyang's total strength has reached nearly 10,000. However, this 10,000 people are obviously not enough to do anything in the face of 30,000 horses hundreds of miles away.

When Feng Ying arrived in Guiyang County, adhering to Lu Qiang's will, he had conscripted some soldiers one after another along the way, but after arriving in Guiyang County, it was a little difficult to recruit, because it was Huan Wei's nest in the early days and was more or less resistant to the people in Jiangling.

After Lu Qiang knew the process, he first gave a high degree of affirmation of Feng Ying's work, and then ordered the suspension of recruitment.

This decision is the result of Lu Qiang's discussion with Sima Xiuzhi and Han Yanzhi. Guiyang County is close to Guangzhou. Although the defense here is very important, if heavy troops are gathered here, it is easy to create an illusion for Xu Daofu. He feels that Lu Qiang is going to move troops against him, so while strengthening the defense of Guiyang County, he will mainly The troops are gathered around Guiyang County, so as to maintain the pressure on Guangzhou. At the same time, in the event of an accident in Guiyang County, troops can also be mobilized in the shortest time.

After persuading Feng, Lu Qiang appointed Han Yanzhi as the Sima of Guiyang County, and at the same time restrained the soldiers and horses of Lingling County, Zaoyang County, Nankang County and Yingyang County.

In this way, a protective network centered on Guiyang County was formed. The total force is scheduled to be 20,000, which is stationed in these places. The veteran Feng Ying, as Han Yanzhi's deputy, assisted Han Yanzhi to station in Yingyang County.

Han Yanzhi used to be a middle school in Jingzhou and had known Feng Gai for a long time. Although he resigned later, Feng Gai always admired him very much, so he had no objection to Lu Qiang's arrangement.

After arranging these, Lu Qiang should have set off, but he suddenly made a decision that no one expected, and he wanted to meet Xu Dao.

As soon as Lu Qiang's idea came out, it was opposed by almost everyone. Joke! What is Lu Qiang's identity now? That is the governor of Jing and Jiang, who was personally sealed by the emperor Yukou, and the military officials of the five states.

And what is Xu Dao's reply? No matter how many people there are, they are also anti-thieves. If Lu Qiang goes to meet him, won't he degrade himself? So no one agrees with Lu Qiang's decision.

Lu Qiang knew that everyone would have such an idea, but he also had his own idea.

Xu Daofu claimed to be the first fierce general under Lu Zhun, and according to Lu Qiang's investigation, this person is not only the kind of brave and resourceful rebel. On the contrary, this person's scheming is very deep. It can even be said that Lu Zhuneng has more than half of the contributions today.

Isn't it intriguing that such a person has not been left by Lu Xun?

So Lu Qiang concluded that if Lu Xun was not afraid of him, he would have set up another heart. No matter what kind of situation he is, as long as he is willing to come to see himself, he has a way to let Lu Xun know.

Lu Xun was determined to be recognized by the court, but the official position he got from Liu Yi was not yet hot! The generals under him flirted with the senior officials of the imperial court. What would Lu Xun think?

As for saying that Xu Daofu will not come to see him, Lu Qiang feels that this is unlikely. After all, he rises too fast, and for Xu Daofu, who has been famous for a long time, if he can't meet him for a long time, I'm afraid he won't sleep well.

After listening to Lu Qiang's analysis, everyone stopped talking. If Lu Qiang's behavior is compared to a scheme, it is ** naked yang scheming, which makes people understand what's going on, and they have to walk down according to Lu Qiang's arrangement.

After receiving Lu Qiang's invitation, Xu Daofu was also confused. What on earth does Lu Qiang want to do? On the one hand, I sent more troops to Guiyang County, and on the other hand, I want to talk to myself. Do you want to surrender yourself?

Xu Daofu's situation at this time was similar to what Lu Qiang thought. At this time, Xu Daofu was still loyal to Lu Xun, but Lu Xun was afraid of Xu Daofu's ability, but he did not dare to do anything to him, so he sent him far away and tried not to be upset.

To say that Xu Daofu is indeed a brave and resourceful general, but he is a little foolish and loyal, and never takes it to others to persuade him to guard against Lu Xun.

And as Lu Qiang thought, he didn't pay attention to Lu Qiang at all, and was also full of curiosity about this young man, so he immediately agreed after receiving Lu Qiang's invitation.

In fact, Lu Qiang's invitation to Xu Daofu was not to invite him to Guiyang County, but to set up a banquet on a hillside between Guiyang County and Shixing County. Otherwise, Xu Daofu would not have agreed so happily.

According to the prior agreement, the two brought 200 bodyguards to the agreed place, and a few miles away, they were their respective armies. But both of them can feel that they can't fight today.

Xu Daofu is about 40 years old, with a strong figure and strong eyes, and quite a little unangry and self-righteous.

While Lu Qiang looked at Xu Daofu, Xu Daofu was also looking at Lu Qiang. Lu Qiang's height was the only one he had ever seen in his life. The cold light flashed in his half-open and half-open eyes actually made Xu Daofu feel palpitated.

No wonder he can make such a big noise, which is really extraordinary.

When Xu Daofu's eyes crossed the road and fell on the big dark bow carried by the bodyguard, his pupils suddenly tightened. He had also heard of the origin of this bow, especially after hearing the terrible results shot by Lu Qiang, he was more sure that this was the legendary overlord bow.

Feering Xu Daofu's eyes, Lu Qiang smiled and said, "I heard that General Xu's martial arts are highly skilled. If you are interested, how about you and I discuss it later?"

Lu Qiang did not intend to use force, and this idea was just said casually.

But Xu Daofu didn't think so, "Is he challenging me?"

The ten-mile area nearby has been carefully combed by the armies of both sides, and they all know that there is no one to ambush here, but if the two people they meet suddenly fight, no one can stop them.

With the strong pressure of Lu Qiang, Xu Daofu was not sure to defeat Lu Qiang, so he directly ignored the idea of martial arts competition.

smiled indifferently and said, "I believe there will be that day. Lord Lu invited me to come here today. I'm afraid it's not for the competition, right?"

Lu Qiang also smiled: "I admire the reputation of the general for a long time. I just want to invite the general to have a drink. Let's make friends, but I have no other intention."

make friends with me? This guy drank too much last night and hasn't woken up yet?
