Chapter 189 Liu Yu's Gift

Lu Qiang's current behavior can be applied to a sentence from his ancestors, that is, "Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by"

Of course, if Lu Qiang still acts under the current name, what he has done is not very useful, but if he restores Sima Dezong's real name, the meaning will be very different.

Intuition told Liu Yu and others that Lu Qiang must be the long-lost idiot emperor, Sima Dezong. There is no need for any evidence. Just from Sima Dewen willing to hand over the jade seal to him and get the loyalty of He Wuji and others is enough to explain the problem.

is another very strange phenomenon. Lu Qiang was afraid of revealing his identity, which led Liu Yu to harming his brother Sima Dewen. But Liu Yu seems to be more afraid of Lu Qiang's disclosure of his identity, because in that case, if Liu Yu refuses to be loyal to Lu Qiang, he will be a veritable rebel.

In order to cope with Lu Qiang's silent offensive, Liu Yu and his staff have been discussing for many days, but they have never come up with an effective solution.

In fact, Lu Qiang is not the only thing that annoys Liu Yu now. What he never thought was that Liu Yi also rekindled. After occupying a Taoist temple in Baekje, he continued to absorb pirate bandits. Now he has stood firm there. That's not to mention that after his strong power, he began to constantly send troops to harass Yan. Haizhou Prefecture.

For this reason, Liu Yu has laid heavy troops in the coastal states and prefectures. Unfortunately, Liu Yi also went out from the mainland. He knows the terrain along the coast very well and specializes in those weakly defended prefectures, which makes Liu Yu unpreventable.

If it hadn't been for the big tiger Lu Qiang in Jingzhou, Liu Yu would have been able to deal with Liu Yi, but now he is a little overwhelmed.

Because Liu Yu occupies Jiankang, he has many innate conditions. The most obvious thing is that he never lacks officials. Although these officials are uneven, Liu Yu doesn't care about those, as long as he can use them and has a certain ability.

Today, in addition to Liu Yu's hardcore confidant Liu Muzhi, there are also his brothers Liu Daogui, Situ Wang Mi, Yu Shi Hu Xiaofu, Meng Huaiyu, the assassin of Yuzhou, and Yin Zhongwen, who emerged from there and was reappointed as General Zuo Wei by Liu Yu.

Everyone's face is not very good, mainly because they didn't come up with a good way to deal with the aggressive Lu Qiang and Liu Yi.

Liu Yu hasn't figured out how to deal with Lu Qiang, but yesterday he received a letter of distress from the king of Baekje, to the intention of jointly kill Liu Yi, who invaded Baekje's territory.

Liu Yu was very moved by this proposal. It turned out that he just wanted to use Liu Yi to deal with Lu Qiang, so Liu Yi did not eliminate it, just like a vampire lying on his back, who would constantly suck his strength and make him unable to concentrate on dealing with Lu Qiang.

Today, he wants to put forward this idea and let everyone discuss whether Lu Qiang will send troops later once troops are sent here? What should he do if he sent troops?

After listening to Liu Yu's words, as Liu Yu's chief think tank, Liu Muzhi had to meditate for a moment and said, "Your Excellency, I feel that there is a person's attitude between us and Lu Qiang, that is, Zhu Chaoshi, Yangzhou. As far as I know, the second son of the Zhu family, is currently Sima of Jiaozhou, who is already Lu Qiang's confidant. Zhu Chaoshi said that although he didn't do anything, I believe that his family must be secretly in collusion with Jingzhou."

Liu Yu has also been alert to this matter for a long time. However, the Zhu family is deeply rooted in Yangzhou, and Jiankang is located in Yangzhou, so he dares not easily move the Zhu family.

And as Liu Muzhi said, if the Zhu family secretly cooperates, the strong army is likely to easily kill under Jiankang City.

"What's the good idea for Doke and Ke?"

Liu Yu knew that Liu Muzhi proposed Zhu Chaoshi, and there must be a way to deal with it.

Sure enough, he saw Liu Muzhi nodded and said, "My subordinates mean to surrender, recruit Zhu Chaoshi to Beijing, and then appoint him as a senior official, and then put him under house arrest in Beijing, so that the rest of the Zhu family will not dare to act rashly, and at the same time send troops to Yangzhou to take over the Zhu family's army as much as possible."

Situ Wang Mi frowned and said, "The plan is good, but Zhu Chaoshi is old and cunning. Is he willing to come to Beijing?"

Yin Zhongwen couldn't help leaning Wang Mi and said in his heart that you, a shameless old man, are more cunning? You are about to become an official invert.

People are always capable when talking about others, and never think about what they are like?

After listening to Wang Mi's words, Liu Yu turned his eyes to Liu Muzhi again, yes! Zhu Chaoshi has been in Yangzhou's nest for the past two years, and even Jiankang rarely comes. Will he accept the appointment and be willing to come to Jiankang be under house arrest?

Liu Muzhi smiled, glanced at his father, and then said, "Your excellency can hand over the impeachment of Zhu Chaoshi's collusion with rebellion to Zhu Chaoshi, and then attach a letter of appointment. I believe that with Zhu Chaoshi's cleverness, he should know how to choose."

impeach Zhu Chaoshi for collusion in rebellion? Who is the rebel?

This idea flashed in Liu Yu's mind, and then understood who Liu Muzhi was referring to.

Lu Qiang's self-effective court in Jingzhou. Who dares to say that he is not rebellious before his identity is disclosed? If you Zhu Chaoshi are smart enough, you will accept the appointment to the capital as an official, otherwise I can add charges to you at will and then fight against you justly.

The power of the Zhu family is mixed, but the real military strength is not strong, so there are only two ways to go in front of him, either coming to Beijing as a hostage or being uprooted.

This is often referred to as Yangmou.

After Liu Yu figured it out, he immediately ordered Hu Xiao's father to draft an impeachment letter, and he also wrote a document appointing Zhu Chaoshi as prime minister.

There are many people in the court who have assumed false positions as prime minister. If you don't add records, then this prime minister is bullshit, but it sounds glorious enough.

After the two documents are ready, they are ordered to be sent to Zhufu, Yangzhou together.

After completing this matter, Liu Yu immediately intensified the construction of warships, preparing to cooperate with the king of Baekje to destroy Liu Yi.

In order to destroy Liu Yi in one fell swoop, Liu Yu mobilized 50,000 troops and countless warships. With Zhou Anmu as the commander, the army went down the river and attacked Liu Yi with the Baekje army.

In order to prevent Lu Qiang from taking advantage of the fire, with Liu Daoju as the commander, 50,000 troops were stationed at the junction of Yangzhou and Jiangzhou. At the same time, Meng Huaiyu and Chen's 30,000 soldiers were in Jiangbei, and the soldiers suppressed Xunyang.

And Liu Yu is sitting in Jiankang's side in case of any unexpected situation.

After destroying Liu Yi's land army, Liu Yu's army has exceeded 200,000, so there is no overstretched troops.

Jiankang's series of abnormal actions had already been secretly reported to Lu Qiang's desk, and at this time, Lu Qiang's wedding ceremony had begun.

Dressed in a big red wedding dress, which was supposed to be the happy face of the groom, but at this time, his face was tense, and the two thick eyebrows were also locked together.

Liu Yu's army was frequently mobilized, and his first reaction to Lu Qiang was that Liu Yu was going to take action against Jingzhou.

Although Liu Yi was very happy at the seaside, he was still across Yangzhou after all, so Lu Qiang did not have a very accurate grasp of the situation at the seaside.

This guy will pick when. Is he ready?

Now that the autumn harvest has just passed, the harvest in all parts of Jingzhou is generally good, and all kinds of materials are also under preparation, so Lu Qiang is not afraid to start a war with Liu Yu at this time.

was preparing to summon everyone to a meeting. Suddenly, he listened to the bodyguard newspaper, and Zhu Hou asked for a meeting.

Zhu Houzhong is Zhu Zan's father and came to attend Lu Qiang's wedding on behalf of the Zhu family in Yangzhou. As Liu Yu and others thought, the Zhu family has gradually moved closer to Lu Qiang. Although they did not explicitly support Lu Qiang, they believe that as long as Lu Qiang recovers from his true body, the Zhu family will immediately stand up and respond.

For such a family, you can't be slow down. Lu Qiang immediately ordered people to see you.

When the time was running out, Zhu Houzhong quickly walked in with a solemn face and a letter in his hand.

After hurriedly saluteed Lu Qiang, he handed the letter to Lu Qiang and said in a low voice, "Liu Yu is going to take action against my house, and please save the Zhu family."

Lu Qiang also felt that the situation was serious from Zhu Hou's heavy expression. After taking the letter and reading it at a glance, his expression also became solemn.

This Liu Yu really sent a wedding gift to the convocation! If the Zhu family falls, it will be very difficult to enter Yangzhou in the future.

It's not that you can't take Yangzhou, but that Lu Qiang is afraid of war and affecting the localities. After all, it's all his own land. It's easy to mess up, but it's difficult to rebuild.

At present, he comforted Zhu Houzhong and asked him to rest assured that he would never sit back and watch Liu Yu harm the Zhu family. Then he didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he summoned the Wenwu ministers to discuss Liu Yu's strategy.

The civil and martial arts ministers have been busy since they got up in the morning. They all waited for a while to have a good drink after the ceremony, but they didn't expect that Lu Qiang would urgently summon them at this time, quickly put down their things in their hands and rushed to the council hall of the Assassin's Office.

Seeing Lu Qiang standing by the map in red wedding clothes and meditating, the ministers were shocked. Everyone knew that Lord Lu was bold, but rarely fooling around.

Now in the solemn council hall, he is dressed like this? What do you mean?

Lu Qiang didn't have time to explain, so he mobilized Liu Yu and prepared to tell the news of the Zhu family.

Only then did the ministers understand why Lu Qiang appeared here dressed like this. At present, the biggest enemy in Jingzhou is Liu Yu, so Liu Yu chose to launch it on the day of Lu Qiangqiang's marriage, and it was not necessary for the ministers not to pay attention to it.

Lu Qiang glanced at the ministers with a serious expression and said, "There is nothing to discuss. What I want to say is how to help the Zhu family get through this? Let's talk about it!"

Because Xunyang and Poyang are close to Yangzhou, Guoquan and Tan Daoji did not come back to attend Lu Qiang's wedding.

It is also because of these two people that Lu Qiang did not worry about Liu Yu's army coming.

Now from south to north, on the long border between Jiangzhou and Yangzhou, the southernmost part is Zhang Changzhi of Jin'an County, and in the middle is He Guangsheng of Shangrao, followed by Tan Daoji and Guo Quan.

So if Liu Yuruo starts a war, not to mention whether he can enter Jiangzhou or not, I'm afraid that Lu Qiang's people have entered Yangzhou first.

And this is also what puzzles Lu Qiang, because he has not received any signs of Liu Yu's mobilization in the direction of Shangrao or Jin'an County.

Does Liu Yu think that if he takes down the Zhu family, he can attack Jiangzhou in one fell swoop? Or is Liu Yu's fundamental purpose the Zhu family, not to attack Jiangzhou?
