Jin'an Emperor

Chapter 287 Eight ways to make

Tuobagui was once again defeated by Lu Qiang. He was angry and fell ill in the barracks. Soon after, he dragged the sick body to lead the army back to Shengle.

Lu Qiang did not send troops to hunt down. It can be said that his previously expected goals have been fully achieved, especially the subsequent changes. There is no need for him to use troops against the State of Wei, at least not for now.

The day after the Wei army retreated, the Rouran faction, which was far behind the State of Wei, sent people, and then the Xiongnu Tiefu, Helan, Kumoxi, Khitan and other departments in the northeast sent envoys to the Jin army one after another.

These are the grassland people who were deterred by force and had to submit to Tuoba Ji. Now they are as humble as yesterday. First, these people want to visit the new master, seek the help of the new master, and then return and bite the old master fiercely.

In this case, of course, Lu Qiang is not willing to ask for it. As far as the strength of the current court is, it is impossible to send troops to the grassland, so the more chaotic the grassland is, the more it is in line with his interests.

While ordering Wang Zhen to receive these grassland messengers, Lu Qiang issued a decree to Tan Daoji and Xu Daofu respectively, asking Xu Daofu to cooperate with Tan Daoji to occupy Liaodong. Gao Dande must not be allowed to take advantage of this loophole.

In fact, Gao Tande has this ambition, but he has to be separated! On Baekje, with the help of the Jin army, the Baekje army not only repelled the invasion of the Goguryeo army, but now they are eager to try and attack the territory of Goguryeo.

In addition, Xu Daofu led the navy to constantly harass the coast of Goguryeo, which made him talk about the loss of the other and worry. Especially after knowing that the Jin army was defeated by the invincible iron horse of the Wei army, did he still have the mind and courage to seize Liaodong?

At this time, Gao Tande finally became smart and sent someone to force peace on the road.

For a while, the Jin army camp outside Yanmen suddenly became lively, especially to Lu Qiang's surprise that Yao Xing also sent people, and the person sent was not small. It turned out to be Yao Xing's uncle Yao Xu.

Yao Xu worshipped Da Situ and was a powerful figure in the Qin Dynasty. However, he came a little mysteriously and obviously didn't want others to know his whereabouts.

Last time Yao Xing lent the way to Tuoba gui, Lu Qiang had not come down to deal with him. As for Yao Xing's character, it was obvious that he knew that the Jin army had defeated the Wei army, otherwise Yao Xu might have appeared in Tuoba gui's camp.

Lu Qiang originally didn't want to see him, but considering his strength, in addition to himself, only Yao Xing could compete with Tuoba, so he ordered Yao Xu to invite him to his big account.

Yao Xu is in his fifties and has big ears. With his fat figure, he is also very elegant, but his eyes are slightly smaller, giving people a sense of treachery.

"Foreign minister Yao Xu, I have met His Majesty the Jin Emperor"

Yao Xu is very respectful, that is, he is not too flattering or arrogant. Obviously, he is a very eye-catching person.

Lu Qiang nodded slightly and raised his hand slightly: "Lord Yao, please sit down, hehe! Lord Yao came in time, otherwise I would have returned to Luoyang."

Yao Xuwei was a little embarrassed. Of course, he couldn't admit that he had been staring at the battle between Jin and Wei.

"Your Majesty forgives me. I know that my lord has been offended in the past, and your majesty should be blamed. However, please believe that the foreign minister is definitely here with sincerity."

Lu Qiang smiled indifferently and said, "Speak about it! What did Yao Xing send you here for?

"Your Majesty asked, but foreign ministers dare not answer truthfully. In fact, my lord intends to fight against Wei, and I also ask your Majesty to help our army."

After listening to Yao Xu's words, Lu Qiang couldn't help but be stunned. Who is Yao Xing? He knows too well that this guy's courage is similar to that of a mouse. Does he have the courage to take the initiative to attack Tuoba Kui? You should know that although Tuoba Kui was defeated, his strength did not suffer much loss. If the Qin army attacked the Wei army rashly, it would be strange that it would not be beaten by the Wei army.

This kind of surprise only stayed on Lu Qiang's face for a moment and asked, "Yao Xing, what do you want me to help him?"

"Of course, it is a joint dispatch of troops. Now that your army is majestic, and all departments of the grassland have come back. As long as your majesty shakes his arms, all the ministries will definitely follow. At that time, our Qin army will join your army's iron horse. Why worry about the immortality of the State of Wei?"

Not to mention, this is indeed a good idea, but Lu Qiang was not ready to enter the grassland, and at the same time, he did not know what the combat strength of each department was. If he was the same as the Qin army, he only said and did not practice, wouldn't he still play himself in the end?

So although the idea is good, just listen to it, but it must not be serious.

nodded and said, "It's a good idea, but there is something you may not know. I have planned to marry Tuoba's adopted daughter. Our two families are going to become in-laws. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to send troops at this time?"

"However, I also know that the State of Qin has been bullied by the Wei army. If you send troops to attack Wei, although it is not convenient for me to send troops, there is still no problem with appropriate assistance."

After listening to Lu Qiang's words, Yao Xu couldn't hide his disappointment, but soon said, "My lord also has a beautiful princess. In order for the two countries to become brothers forever, my lord must be willing to marry the princess to your majesty. Your Majesty, don't fall into Tuobagui's trick and give him a chance to breathe!"

"How do I still need Lord Yao to teach me? Humph! Last time I saw that the Wei army was powerful, I took advantage of the Wei army and let it almost attack the hinterland of our country. I haven't calculated this account with Yao Xing. Now I see that my army is strong, but I have come to incite me again. I see that Yao Xing's stable life is enough. I go back and tell him to pay tribute to me. Otherwise, maybe my army will kill Chang'an that day.

Lu Qiang's face is really faster than the book.

Yao Xu was stunned for a moment, and then a cold sweat came out. He knew very well that in terms of the current strength of the Jin army, this situation was really possible.

Now Lu Qiang's beloved general Zhao Luwen and Chen's 100,000 soldiers in Jingxiang may kill the river at any time. In the north, Lu Qiang personally lead the army, and with the troops at the border, the total strength is not less than 100,000. If they attack the State of Qin at the same time in the south and north, the consequences are really unimaginable.

"Your Majesty, your majesty will calm your anger, and the foreign minister will go back to discuss with my lord"

Yao Xu is almost regretful now. Why doesn't he know that Jin and Wei are going to get married? If I had known this, it wouldn't have been boring.

After saluteing Lu Qiang, he rolled and crawled out. Now he has only one idea, which is to quickly go back to discuss Lu Qiang's unreasonable requirements with Yao Xing, and whether the Jin Dynasty will really send troops to Chang'an?

If according to Lu Qiang's previous idea, after defeating Tuoba Kui, he would indeed clean up Yao Xing, but after listening to Wang Zhen's advice, he temporarily changed his mind. Plans never change quickly.

Nowadays, the monarchs and ministers of the State of Qin have not noticed that many goods in their country come from Jiangnan, and their currency has gradually begun to use the currency of Jin.

It's not that there is no one in the State of Qin, but Lu Qiang controls the economic lifeline of the State of Qin in this silent way, and this subtle way is not serious enough to attract the attention of the princes and ministers of the State of Qin.

So the State of Qin is already in Lu Qiang's pocket, but it is just a matter of sooner or later.

Compared with the State of Qin, whether it is the State of Wei or Goguryeo, it is obviously Lu Qiang's trouble.

The messengers sent by each tribe are not important. Obviously, these tribes are still a little hesitant. Lu Qiang did not deliberately recruit these two-faced guys, and they are not thousands of miles away from people.

After making some empty checks and benefits, they were sent back and invited the leaders of these tribes to Luoyang.

In fact, these tribal messengers also know that Tuobagui still has the power of fighting a war. Now it is really not appropriate to get too close to the Jin Dynasty. Now when they come to meet, they are just familiar with each other. If there is an accident in the future, it will not be too raw.

A few days later, just as Lu Qiang was preparing to return to Luoyang, Goguli's messenger finally arrived. Gao Tande's nephew Gao Wu is a relatively close relative of Gao Tande.

People in Goguryeo didn't need Lu Qiang to meet him in person. Wang Zhenvil invited him. According to Lu Qiang's words, this was a little praise for him.

Before Gao Wu came, he obviously worked hard and was not unfamiliar with Wang Zhen's evil name. He knew that he was the confidant of the emperor of the Jin Dynasty. For this reason, he was also a little proud. When he could see such a big official in the Central Plains, he also had the capital to brag when he went back.

After the two guests sat down, Gao Wu couldn't wait to praise Wang Zhen's evil and made Wang Zhen's evil goose bumps all over before talking about the topic.

"Lord, our country may have had some misunderstanding with your country before. After the investigation, my king has also severely punished the culprit who provoked the relationship between our two countries. In addition, my king is also willing to compensate your country. Can you ask your army to withdraw?"

Wang Zhen's evil face sank and said, "Lord Gao, please make it clear. What did our army do? Let's withdraw our troops, where should we start?

"Ah!"

The tall mouth can be stuffed with an egg, and then he said for a moment, "Isn't that, the navy of Xu Dadu's army?"

"Of course, Xu Du's navy is my army, but now Xu Du's navy has already been ordered to pursue pirates. What does this have to do with your Goguryeo? Is it possible that your army is a pirate?

Gao Wu's mouth was full of bitter water, because he knew that in the past, the navy of Goguryeo was often under the banner of pirates at sea. Didn't Jin send troops to Goguryeo in this name? But can you say such a thing?

"No... It is right to eliminate pirates, but now many soldiers have rushed into our city of Goguryeo to plunder people and loot the treasury. This... But it's a little too, too that, isn't it?

"It is impossible. Our soldiers in the Jin Dynasty are the strictest military discipline, love the people, and will never do such a thing. This must be deliberately framed by someone who wants to damage the reputation of our army."

Wang Zhen said righteously.

Judging from the expression alone, those who swept the coast of Goguryeo like locusts could never have been done by the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty. They must have been stunned and recognized the wrong person.

Gao Wu was about to vomit blood, but he listened to Wang Zhen's evil words and said thoughtfully, "But this matter really has to be investigated. It's impossible for someone to corrupt our army's reputation. In this way, Lord Gao, I will send an army into Gaoguli to thoroughly investigate this matter in the near future to return the innocence of our army."

Ah? Send and send troops to Goguryeo..."

Gao Wu's eyes are almost staring out...
