Jin'an Emperor

Chapter 141 Discussion

Of course, Lu Qiang was not the only one who got the news of the rebellion. After receiving the news, Liu Yu, who was in Jiankang, couldn't help but be overjoyed and secretly said that a big thing had been achieved.

There is no eternal enemy or friend in the world.

Liu Yu has always remembered that the army will destroy Liu Yi, but what reassures him most is Lu Qiang, whose strength is becoming increasingly strong, and at present, only Lu Qiang can pose a threat to him.

Who can guarantee that he will rise to the front foot, and the powerful army will not come to Jiankang? But now it's different. In the rear of Lu Qiang, as Lu Qiang, he will definitely take action against him. But everyone knows that Shu Road is difficult, so Lu Qiang can't free up his strength in a short time. In this way, someone can control Lu Qiang, and he can safely fight against Liu Yi.

After the date was selected, Liu Yu set up from the Beifu camp in Jingkou. In addition, Meng Huaiyu, the assassin of Yuzhou, was transferred from Yuzhou, and the two armies entered Xuzhou together.

After Liu Yi occupied the prefectures, his strength has been greatly improved. After knowing that Liu Yu personally led the army to kill, he also personally led the troops to fight.

The two armies fought fiercely under the city of Qingzhou. Because of their equal strength, they could not tell the winner for a while.

In the face of Liu Yu's aggressiveness, Liu Yi sent envoys to Jiangling and Yan respectively at Tang Liang's suggestion.

Lu Qiang was asked to send troops to attack Liu Yu's rear, and the people of Rongxi from the State of Yan attacked Yuzhou and copied Meng Huaiyu's back road. And it was agreed that as long as Liu Yu was eliminated, the Jiangnan area would be divided equally with Lu Qiang, and Yuzhou would belong to Murong Xi.

Lu Qiang did not know the conditions for Liu Yi to agree to Murongxi, but he disdained his promise.

The four prefectures of Jing, Jiang, Guangzhou and Jiaotong have been under their actual control, and half of the land has been recovered. Do they still need to share them equally with you?

If you don't leave the army, once you are strong enough to send troops, you have to take back the whole country. As the king of a country, how can you allow others to touch your country?

In addition, Lu Qiang is not happy to pinch Er Liu. No matter who destroys whom, it is beneficial and harmless to him. However, Liu Yi gave him a red rabbit horse anyway, and he still needs to show something in his face.

So Lu Qiang said in front of the messenger that he would definitely send troops to fight against Liu Yu, and asked General Liu Yi to stick to Yunyun...

Go ahead! Dude, I don't have time to worry about you.

There has been news from Shuzhong. This rumor has a good reputation among the local army and the people. After claiming the king, there are no poor soldiers to redeem the martial arts. Except for guarding the Baidi City, the road to Shu on the water, there is no hostile to Jingzhou.

Stealing the land and claiming to be the king is no longer a matter of hostility to yourself, so although he has done a lot of things to treat the people well, it must be eliminated.

Sima Dewen's original official position was Jing and Jiang Assassin, and the military of the five states were Jing, Jiang, Guang, Jiao and Ning. Now except for Ningzhou, the other four states are under control.

If the people of these four states gather together, I'm afraid it will exceed 150,000, which sounds scary, but as soon as the 150,000 troops are dispersed, nothing can be seen.

On the other side of Jiangzhou, nearly 60,000 troops have been stationed from Xunyang to Poyang County, Shangrao County and Jin'an County.

Guangzhou still has to deal with the situation in Jiaozhou, so there are also 40,000 horses, and Jiangling, as the governing place of Luqiang, has to go on expeditions from time to time, and also requires permanent heavy troops.

In this way, how many people can Lu Qiang mobilize to fight against Long?

Is that how it is? Obviously, that doesn't work. Lu Qiang knows that Shuzhong has the name of the country of heaven. With natural danger, he can not only rest well. In addition, looking at the current indulgent actions, he will inevitably win the full support of the people of Shu after a long time. At that time, it will be difficult to fight again, so it must be eliminated before it becomes a climate.

Based on this idea, Lu Qiang has convened Wang Zhenvil, Sima Xiuzhi, Xie Wangzu, He Wuji and others for several days.

Everyone's ideas are similar to the same as the road. The only difference is how many people should be mobilized to enter Shu, because Shu Road is too difficult.

The north and south camps outside Jiangling City have always maintained a standing army of 50,000. If they send troops, they can mobilize 30,000, but 30,000 troops want to sweep Shuzhong, but it is too natural.

There is no good idea for days of discussion, which makes Lu Qiang a little upset.

The weather in January is still cold in the north, but as far as Jiangling is concerned, the cold weather is suitable for living.

After the daily discussion in Lu Qiang's house today, Lu Qiang only left Xie Wangzu. The old fox often has fantastic ideas. He can talk to him and expand his thoughts.

Xie Wangzu knows why Lu Qiang is worried, but fighting is not his strength, so he can only make some irrelevant suggestions.

For example, the dispatch of troops from various places, re-conscription, etc.

Lu Qiang not only thought about these methods, but also secretly ordered Guoquan, Tan Daoji and others to transfer 10,000 horses to Jiangling to wait for orders as soon as possible.

According to Lu Qiang's idea, the army entering Shu has to have 50,000, otherwise it will not be easy to fight.

After saying a few words, Xie Wangzu suddenly remembered a person, that is, Wang Dan, who came from Jiankang before Lu Qiang returned to Jiangling.

The two are knowledgeable. Although they don't have a good friendship, Wang Dan doesn't know anyone else in Jiangling, so he goes to Xie Wangzu's house from time to time. Once again and after another, the two get acquainted.

Xie Wangzu found from Wang Dan's words that Wang Dan was not simple and learned far better than him.

Lao Xie knew that Lu Qiang was thirsty for talent. Although once Wang Dan was used by Lu Qiang, it may affect his status, in Lao Xie's heart, he had already assumed himself as Lu Qiang's father-in-law. The better his uncle developed, of course, the more powerful he was to him.

So after talking with Lu Qiang for a while, old man Xie took the opportunity to bring up Wang Dan.

Lu Qiang knew Wang Dan and also heard Wu Yinzhi mention that he came to Jiangling, but recently he was so busy that he forgot this person. Now he heard Xie Wangzu mention it and quickly ordered someone to find him.

In fact, Wang Dan has also been waiting for Lu Qiang to be summoned. After Jiankang met several members of the royal family, the more he became sure that Lu Qiang was a member of the royal family. Although the Jin clan has become thinner and thinner, in the hearts of some traditional officials, the Jin clan is still orthodox. Now that there is such a talent in the royal family, what reason does he have not to be loyal?

After receiving the news of Lu Qiang's call, he immediately rushed over from the post hall.

Although Lu Qiang knew Wang Dan, he did not know what real ability he had, but he knew that there were not many people who could be praised by Xie Wangzu. So when Wang Dan came in, he got up and greeted him.

"Lord Wang, this is your fault. Knowing that I'm back to Jiangling, why don't you come to see me? If it weren't for Xie Lao's reminder, wouldn't people say that I'm slow to treat distinguished guests?"

Lu Qiang said angrily, and then pulled Wang Dan to his seat with his own hands.

Seeing that Lu Qiang was so polite, Wang Dan finally let go of his heart. In his mind, Lu Qiang should have known that he had arrived in Jiangling, but he never saw him. Didn't he want to use him?

He quickly arched his hand and said, "I know that Lord Lu is busy with official business, so I have never dared to disturb him. Please forgive me."

After a few words, Lu Qiang ordered to prepare a banquet to entertain Wang Dan. At this time, a bodyguard came to report that Wang Kai came back, but he did not dare to enter the house. At this moment, he was kneeling outside the house bare arms and carrying a few wooden sticks.

Lu Qiang couldn't help laughing. I don't know if it was the bastard who told this guy to plead guilty. He did it right in the front. Why didn't he tie himself up?

Wang Kai didn't return to Panyu until after Lu Qiang left, so they didn't rush back to Jiangling until now. It's just that Wang Kai thought that since the adult transferred him back and left Han Yanzhi there, he must be blaming himself, so he listened to such a half-hearted idea and asked Lu Qiang to plead guilty.

Lu Qiang doesn't think there is anything wrong with what Wang Kai has done, but this atmosphere can't last. Otherwise, the rest of his men will follow suit. Isn't military discipline over? Therefore, proper disposal is still necessary.

Told the bodyguard not to pay attention to Wang Kai and let him kneel outside the door of the house first. Anyway, this guy's skin is rough and thick.

When Wang Dan saw that Lu Qiang finished dealing with Wang Kai, he smiled and said, "Your Excellency's move can be said to be well-intentioned!"

Lu Qiang smiled bitterly and said, "If these guys don't clean up, they will go to heaven."

"Adults are still worried about things in Shu?"

Wang Dan had heard Xie Wangzu talk about Lu Qiang's troubles and made great efforts for this, because he knew that if he wanted to have a place under Lu Qiang, he must bring out some real things.

After listening to him, Lu Qiang was really energetic and said eagerly, "Lord Wang, do you have a good idea?"

Wang Dan smiled and then said with a whole face: "The reason why the adult refused to send troops to destroy the indulgence is nothing more than the difficulty of Shu Road and the lack of troops. In my imagination, the adult ignored a strange soldier."

Lu Qiang was slightly stunned. The first two of what Wang Dan said were right, but his people and horses were stationed in various places, so there were still strange soldiers available?

Seeing Lu Qiang's doubts, Wang Dan slowly said the word "barbarian"

Barbarian?

The two words seemed to remind Lu Qiang, but it was still not clear. He frowned and said, "Lord Wang, can you be more detailed?"

"Before Zhuge Wuhou came out of Qishan, there were only barbarians who were concerned, and these barbarians were profit-oriented. What can a small king of Chengdu give them? If adults reward them in the name of the court, do you think you can still gain a foothold in Shu?

The road opened up.

Yes! The people in Jiaozhou have more mountains and more indigenous people. Are there fewer barbarians in the mountains in Shu? Moreover, these barbarians do not obey the king and only obey the orders of their own tribal chiefs.

It is obviously impossible for Gao Zong to completely subdue those chiefs after he has just occupied Chengdu. If he makes a lot of benefits to those chiefs at this time, he may be able to let them defect and help him.

In this way, do you still have to worry about the problems of soldiers and Shu Dao?

After thinking about this, Lu Qiang's haze in his heart was swept away for days, and he held his fist and saluted Wang Dan: "Lord Wang's words are better than 100,000 troops. Please be worshipped by Lu."

Wang Dan quickly stood up and returned the salute and said, "I'm not good at it. I'm willing to go to Shuzhong to see the barbarian king, but I just don't know what kind of official position the barbarian king can promise?"

Wang Dan's surprises were really one after another. As soon as Lu Qiang wanted to ask who was the best to go to Shu, Wang Dan volunteered.

After listening to Wang Dan's words, he pondered for a moment and said, "What official position does he want?" I will give him an official position."
