Chapter 319 Northwest

In fact, from Zhang Mi's bizarre suicide, Li Wei already felt that the Jin Dynasty was going to attack him, but he never thought that there would be a war in this season. He couldn't even help thinking that the Jin army would not be afraid that logistics could not keep up on such a snowy and such a cold day, and then the whole army would be destroyed?

However, as the news came one after another in the next few days, Li Junchen was completely dumbfounded.

Ledu was defeated by the Jin army who fell from the sky overnight. When Qifu Chipan was feasting with the ministers, he was caught by the Jin army. Even more than a dozen princes and ministers, including him, were packed and taken away. So far, life and death are unknown.

Juqu Mengxun was captured by the Jin army in his sleep, and then the Jin army ambushed Juqu Zhengde outside the city to try to save his father. Counting Juqu Xingguo, who was hostage by Luoyang, their family was also taken away.

Immediately, Zhao Lunwen's army besieged Gu Zang, and Juqu Mengxun ordered the Beiliang army to surrender, and the Beiliang army also finally surrendered, such as a muffled stick to Li Wei.

The logistics question of the Jin army, which had been making him unable to figure out, soon got an answer. The scout told him that the Jin army did not know what was under the carriage. The carriages full of grain and grass were running like flying on the snow and were not trapped by snow at all.

In addition, what disturbs him most is the phantom of the snow that has been passed down now. According to people who have seen it, these ghostly Jin troops did not run or jump on the snow, but only waved their arms and walked like the wind, coming and going without a trace, that is, they broke into Ledu City overnight.

For this reason, Li Gao has added two posts to the city, mobilized the people in the city to remove all the snow near the city wall, and never gave these people a chance to get close.

Others don't know that Li Gao was even ready to continue to flee to the north. In fact, he did not know that the first stage of the battle of the Jin army was over, and it would be ineffective if the surprise attack was used too much.

At this time, Kuixing has been ordered to return to Jincheng to rest and enjoy Lu Qiang's large number of rewards for them.

After Zhao Lunwen loaded Qifu Chipan and Juqu Mengxun into the prison car and sent them together with their trusted ministers to Luoyang, he began to reorganize their army.

Among these forces in the west, Li Wei is the strongest, so he must be fully prepared to attack. However, after knocking off the two poisonous teeth of Qifu Chipan and Juqu Mengxun, Li Wei is already alone.

Although the weather was cold, such important news quickly reached Tuoba Si's ears. After carefully inquiring about the ghosts of the Jin army, Tuoba Si couldn't help taking a deep breath. He couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if this mysterious army came to attack his camp?

For this reason, Tuoba Si also began to increase patrols, and he was also afraid of being captured by the Jin army in his sleep that day.

However, after this series of military operations, the Jin Dynasty suddenly stopped. The west did not continue to attack Li Wei, and there was no abnormal military mobilization on Yanmen.

But the more like this, the more worried Tuoba Si is. He is even a little shaken now. Should he move the capital back to Shengle?

Time flies, and it's time to ring the New Year's bell again, and this is the fifth bell of Luoyang Palace.

In the Spring Festival, it goes without saying that the people's families are lively. This year, the palace is also particularly lively. Tuoba Mingzhu is already pregnant. Liu Si's family of three, He Wuji's family, and even the families of Tan Daoji, Zhao Lunwen, Wen Chumao and other generals outside the border were invited to enter the palace by Lu Qiang.

Liu's daughter is Lu Qiang's imperial concubine. Lu Qiang also told Wang Shen'ai about this matter. Wang Shen'ai also likes Liu's daughter very much, so he often gives the two children the opportunity to establish feelings and make them become real childhood sweethearts.

He Wuji's injury is almost healed. Although he knows that the medicine works, he has to say that He Wuji's body is strong enough. After learning about the war in the west, he couldn't sit still again. In the past few days, he was preparing to find an opportunity to discuss with him and send him to Bingzhou.

Lu Qiang knew what was thinking, but it was impossible to let him go until his injury was fully recovered.

At this moment, the hall is full of adults laughing and children playing, full of the atmosphere of the Spring Festival, but at this time, Lu Qiang suddenly couldn't be happy.

There is no other reason. Lu Qiang thought of his son who was far away in Maoshan.

"Time flies. Five years have passed in a flash, and Xiang'er is almost as tall as Tong'er, right?"

How can a person who says that he doesn't raise his child and doesn't know his parents' kindness and has never been a father understand the pain of separation? I just hope that in the future, my son can understand his painstaking efforts, and there will no longer be that kind of human tragedy behind him.

Liu Sinu, who was beside her, was the person who knew Lu Qiang's thoughts best. Seeing that Lu Qiang's eyes only turned around on a few children, she immediately understood what was going on, but he could not interrupt this kind of thing.

He muttered slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I recently heard that a huge ship has been built in the shipyard in Jin'an County, and it will go to sea during the Spring Festival. Doesn't your Majesty want to see it?"

Lu Qiang was thinking about his son. After listening to Liu's words, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Then he understood what he was referring to and nodded and said, "The governor of Jin'an County has come up and asked me to nominate him. I haven't seen the appearance of the ship, so I didn't reply to him. After the weather is warm, it's time to go and have a look."

"Yes, are you sure to win Gao Tande in the coming year?"

"It is not difficult to eliminate him. When I was there for a long time, I felt that as far as the local folk customs are concerned, it is more appropriate to make themselves chaotic. If the strong ones are strong, they will be beaten twice, and if they are weak, they will be convinced. In this way, the court will never need to invest too much, and it will not be an effective threat to the Central Plains."

Lu Qiang is deeply convinced of Liu Sinnv's words, but of course, this situation cannot last forever. Now they can be in chaos. When the population of the Central Plains is almost expanded in the future, they will emigrate there and gradually Sinicize there, so that they can be safe for a long time.

He Wuji, who was beside him, finally waited for the two to finish speaking and couldn't help interrupting: "Your Majesty, I am sure that after he moves back to the capital, he will definitely provoke the border army. I think we must not be tolerant, otherwise he will definitely take an inch."

Lu Qiang stared at him and deliberately said with a calm face, "People say that they have hurt their muscles and bones for a hundred days. You can't sit still for a few days? Humph! Later, I will tell He Guangsheng that you must not leave Luoyang for half a step without my will."

In one sentence, He Wuji pushed back. He Wuji couldn't help scratching his head awkwardly, continued to use water instead of wine, and conceived his big plan to break Wei in his mind.

On the Spring Festival, thousands of families were reunited. Thinking of accompanying his master's son far away in the mountains, Lu Qiang had no idea. He reluctantly accompanied everyone to have New Year's Eve dinner and returned to the study alone.

Only by being busy can he ease his miss for his son. He has decided to use Liu Sinu's excuse to go to Maoshan after the beginning of spring.

At the beginning of the new year, Lu Qiang announced Xiliang Li Wei as a traitor in the first morning, and counted his crimes of colluding with the State of Wei in an attempt to subvert the court. He issued an order to put his son Li Xin into the heavenly prison. After waiting for the arrest of Li Yu, he would be executed together.

During the

period, after the finalization of some major events of the national economy and people's livelihood and the appointment and removal of officials, Lu Qiang once again announced that he would patrol Jin'an Shipyard in the south of the spring season.

Lu Qiang never stopped staying in the Luoyang Palace, and the ministers were used to it, but no one objected. Instead, I think that few people have fought against there in the past with such a high-profile one. Isn't it that the army has besieged Li Wei?

In today's court, there are basically the kind of officials who only talk but don't practice. Lu Qiang, the emperor, leads by example in everything and most disgusts those officials who speak empty and are full of benevolence and morality. Even if officials oppose the emperor's redemption of soldiers, they will put forward their own practical views.

Li Xin stayed in Luoyang for the longest time. Originally, according to his son, he should have dated more Luoyang officials, but since he had a previous escape record, no one dared to pay attention to him.

After Juqu Mengxun, Qifu Chipan and their family ministers were taken to Luoyang, they were cut off their heads on charges of plotting to assassinate important ministers of the court. So now Xiliang Li Wei is the last target in the west of the court.

The five years of Dajin is destined to be an unusual year.

As the weather got warmer, Tuoba Si began to lead his army to move south. Now Juqu Mengxun is finished. Although he wants to intervene in the west, Li Wei also sent someone to ask for help again, but he is a little uncertain now.

He was deeply impressed by the magic methods of the Jin army. If he attacks the Jin Dynasty now, firstly, he can't stand morally. Second, although his iron horses are numerous, the Jin army has high wall protection, which can offset the advantage of cavalry. With all kinds of defenseless means, it is difficult to predict the outcome.

So Tuobasi finally thought of first of accumulating national strength, vigorously developing advanced weapons and technology like the Jin army, and then attacking the Jin Dynasty when the time is ripe.

In this way, Li Wei was completely isolated, but he obviously refused to tie up and actively mobilized the army to strengthen defense and mobilized the main force around the capital.

It turned out that the northwest was still occupying the sky, but after knowing the mysterious armament of the Jin army, he no longer dared to have such a fantasy.

Li Wei's available troops total about 200,000. Originally scattered around, he has been transferred to his side. He also thought about the victory or defeat in this battle. The far west is too cold, and there is also a strong empire over there, and there is no place for him.

Zhao Lunwen originally had 100,000 troops stationed in Jincheng. Considering that the strength was too different from Li Wei, Lu Qiang transferred 50,000 troops to help the battle, so that the strength of the Jin army also reached 150,000, which was enough to deal with the people of Xiliang.

In March, the spring breeze is still piercing, but by this time, no one in the northwest feels cold. With the gradual approach of the two armies, this war that determines the fate of Xiliang is imminent.

Just as Li Wei was worried, a mysterious guest suddenly came to his palace.
