The strongest Marquis in history

Zhou Jin thought about it carefully, and echoed: "Mr. Sun's proposal is very constructive. If it can be completed, we can use our strength to deal with Yuan Wei in turn. It is extremely helpful to us now. "

Lu Yuanda thought for a while, looked at Wang Qi who hadn't expressed his opinion, and said, "Your Highness, I also agree with you."

Wang Qi said with a smile: "What are the conditions to win over Gu Kang? If we want Gu Kang to obey orders, or even let Gu Kang help us, the first thing is to let Gu Kang get benefits. Otherwise, this matter will not succeed. "

Lu Yuanda said: "If you think about it carefully, it's actually quite simple. Just tell him that we only want Jiujiang County. If Yuan Wei is defeated, he will own the captured territory. Such benefits are enough to incite Gu Kang."

Sun Lang said: "With this interest, Gu Kang will most likely agree."

Zhou Jin also nodded in agreement.

Everyone agrees. After all, at the moment, there is a certain possibility.

After Wang Qi heard it, he still shook his head and denied it, and said: "According to your considerations, it is essentially a strategy to drive away tigers and eat wolves, and let Gu Kang and Yuan Wei fight each other. How can Gu Kang not understand such a thing? In addition, such conditions are too simple. Of course, this is not the main reason. The most important point is, is Gu Kang more difficult to deal with, or Yuan Wei more difficult to deal with?"

After Lu Yuanda heard it, he thought for a while and said, "Naturally, Gu Kang is more difficult to deal with. Yuan Wei is greedy, greedy and lustful. After he occupied Yangzhou, he built large-scale construction projects, recruited concubines, and extravagantly. Such a person will perish sooner or later. But Gu Kang is really different. Gu Kang is very good to the people under his rule, but he is extremely cunning and shrewd to the outside world."

Wang Qi said: "Yes, this is the key. If Gu Kang is united to deal with Yuan Wei, Gu Kang's strength will definitely increase. At that time, it will be very troublesome to deal with Gu Kang."

"Conversely, if we keep Yuan Wei, it will be easy for us to deal with Yuan Wei. Therefore, apart from other reasons, we cannot unite with Gu Kang, which will only make Gu Kang stronger."

"As for the two sides joining forces, I'm not afraid. What's more, Gu Kang is not stupid. Even if he sends troops, he will have reservations. Right now, we will have a good fight with each other."

"First, weaken the strength of Gu Kang and Yuan Wei; second, we have a foothold in Jiujiang County. We still need time to develop our strength, so we need to gain a firm foothold first, and then maintain the situation in Yangzhou to prepare for the next battle."

Wang Qi said: "Since it is determined that Gu Kang will send troops, we will respond immediately."

Lu Yuanda said: "We are facing attacks from both sides, and we are flanked back and forth. How should we deal with it?"

In terms of military planning, Lu Yuanda, Zhou Jin, and Sun Lang are still a bit poor.

Can't compare with a wise man like Zhou Zishan.

Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "We mainly deal with this battle separately. First, let the army brought by Yuan Wei let him drive straight in. The counties bordering Danyang County are ordered not to resist and to guard the city. Can."

"As for Gu Kang in the west, I personally led [-] elite troops to resist."

Wang Qi said: "In this battle, first eliminate Gu Kang who is going to attack us. Here in Yinling County, I will leave it to you, the prefect Lu, to guard. If you lead troops to garrison, can you be sure to stop Yuan Wei's [-] army?"

"confident!"

Lu Yuanda answered loudly.

With a mere 1 people, he is not afraid.

What's more, Guangling County has already won.Under such circumstances, Lu Yuanda even believes that this battle will undoubtedly be won, and there is no possibility of any mistakes.

Wang Qi also nodded. The reason why he was relieved was because of the news from Guangling County.

If there is no such news, maybe some people will have thoughts.But the war in Guangling County is over, and Yuan Wei's troops are completely wiped out. Anyone can judge good or bad, know how to stand in line, and know how to make choices.

Wang Qi instructed: "Since that's the case, let's prepare. This king will lead the troops to leave next. As for the follow-up, what arrangements will be made, and we will make a decision at the last moment. You don't need to ask for instructions on everything."

After a pause, Wang Qi said: "However, I estimate that even though Yuan Wei is here, it is unlikely that he will go straight in for the time being. After all, his force is small, and once he goes straight in, he will come to die. Under this situation, no one will come directly, so For the time being, Yuan Wei may wait for a while."

Lu Yuanda said: "No matter what the situation is, the humble position will definitely defend the county."

Wang Qi nodded.

Lu Yuanda, Zhou Jin and Sun Lang got up and retreated, and the three of them were going to discuss the next strategy.Because this time is a test for them, so they must do their best.

Wang Qi also immediately sent an order to mobilize the troops under his command.In a short period of time, the army assembled, and Wang Qi took all the dry food, weapons, etc., and led the army to the west bordering Lujiang County.

As for more food, Lu Yuanda will arrange for escorts in the follow-up.

That's nothing to worry about.

Chapter 515 The People Behind the Scenes

Lujiang County, Shu County.

This is the seat of Lujiang County.

Compared with the geographical environment of Jiujiang County, Lujiang County has a better location and is easier to guard.Lujiang County faces the Huaihe River in the north and the Yangtze River in the south. Two water veins, one south and one north, form a north-south barrier.

To the west of the Lujiang River is the Dabie Mountains, which built a natural western barrier to resist the attack of Chu State.If the Chu State of Nanban wanted to invade Lujiang County, it could only attack by the Yangtze River waterway.

In addition, there are Chaohu and Penglize in Lujiang County, with well-developed water system and suitable climate.In addition, Gu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang County, governed the area, and he always had light corvee and low taxes. The people's life was very good, and he agreed with Gu Kang very much.

Just like this, Gu Kang has a very high prestige in the entire Lujiang County.

Inside the prefect's mansion, in the study.

Gu Kang was dealing with the latest government affairs submitted, and it was August, the autumn harvest season, and rice was being harvested everywhere.The main thing that Gu Kang is busy at the moment is to urge all places to complete the harvest of grain as soon as possible.

Gu Kang is very clear about one thing, people's hearts are very important.With the support of the people, Lujiang County will be stable, and he will be irreplaceable in Lujiang County, and the soldiers will also have combat effectiveness.

People's hearts are the cornerstone of everything.

So don't care how slippery Gu Kang is to the outside world.He is really good to the local people.

"Report!"

A servant came in and reported: "Master Taishou, Master Qu wants to see you."

Gu Kang ordered: "Please!"

The attendant turned and went down to inform.

Master Qu, named Qu Jin, is Gu Kang's counselor and serves as the master of Lujiang County.

Not long after, Qu Jin entered.

Qu Jin was about 40 years old, with a handsome appearance and a handsome and refined style.Qu Jin entered the study, and after seeing Gu Kang, he saluted and said, "I pay my respects to the lord."

Gu Kang said: "Mr. Qu, sit down!"

After Qu Jin thanked her, she lifted up her robe and sat down.Gu Kang said directly: "Sir, what's the matter?"

Qu Jin said: "I just received a piece of news, which was sent by Yuan Wei. Yuan Wei has sent troops from Wu County to encircle and suppress Wang Qi in Jiujiang County. At the same time, Yuan Wei sent an order to attack the west of Jiujiang County. Yuan Wei said that after the event is completed this time, the first promise is that the territory we get will be our own. The second is that once the event is completed, the lord will be crowned king."

Gu Kang narrowed his eyes, and said: "Yuan Wei gave such a generous treatment, it is clear that he wants to borrow a knife to kill people, and use our strength to deal with Wang Qi!"

Qu Jin said: "That's what it means."

Gu Kang said, "Sir, what do you think?"

Qu Jin said in a deep voice: "The humble official thinks that we can make a plan. Wang Qi's seizure of Jiujiang County is also a big threat to us. Wang Qi has a little understanding of the humble official, and he is good at fighting, which is very powerful."

"Wang Qi's arrival will definitely disrupt the stability and situation in Yangzhou. Therefore, in order to protect ourselves and ensure our status, we must drive Wang Qi out of Yangzhou."

"In this way, Lujiang County will not be threatened. Compared with Yuan Wei, Wang Qi's threat is too great. Once Wang Qi really gains a foothold, he will come to deal with us sooner or later."

Qu Jin said: "That's why I suggest to send troops to fight Wang Qi. Of course, Yuan Wei did have schemes, but Yuan Wei is a fool, so it's not worth mentioning."

After Gu Kang heard it, he also nodded.

Wang Qi is much better than Yuan Wei.

In Yangzhou under Yuan Wei's rule, Gu Kang could stay in Lujiang County all the time, and his own party would listen to the tune and not to the propaganda.The problem is that Wang Qi's arrival will definitely break this situation.

While Gu Kang was thinking, the housekeeper entered, hurried to Gu Kang's side, and whispered something in a low voice.

After Gu Kang listened, his face became serious.He waved his hand to let the butler back down, then looked at Qu Jin, and said, "Mr. Qu, I have some personal matters to deal with. You go and think about the strategy to deal with Wang Qi. I will notify you after I finish the matter." you."

Qu Jin said: "I obey my orders!"

After Qu Jin withdrew, Gu Kang got up and left the study, and went straight to the lobby of the front yard.In the middle of the hall, there was a tall, not muscular man standing, but just looking at his back gave him a lot of pressure.

When the person who came heard the sound of footsteps, he turned and looked over.

The visitor is young, less than 30 years old.

With sharp cheeks, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a tall and straight figure, standing like a green pine, he looks very tough.

As soon as Gu Kang saw the visitor, he quickly stepped forward two steps, came to the visitor, put his hands together, bowed solemnly and said: "Humble Gu Kang, I pay my respects to Your Highness."

The name of the visitor is Xiong Tai, the third prince of the Southern Chu Kingdom.

He is a well-known master in Southern Chu Kingdom.

When he was twenty years old, he had stepped into the master of the master realm.Now, although he is not the number one expert in Southern Chu Kingdom, Xiong Tai, who has been in the Grandmaster realm for many years, is very powerful.

In Southern Chu State, Xiong Tai was very famous for being able to fight well.Xiong Tai fought on the battlefield when he was more than ten years old. His meritorious deeds and strength are all achieved on the battlefield.

No one thought that Gu Kang was actually from the state of Chu, a pawn placed by the state of Chu in Yangzhou.

Xiong Tai said: "Gu Kang, do you still recognize me as Chu State?"

Gu Kang's body trembled, and he quickly said: "Reporting to Your Highness, I was born and raised in Chu State, how can I not recognize Chu State? Although I served as the prefect of Lujiang County, all of these were brought by Chu State. Without the state of Chu, there would be no such thing as Humble Job."

Only then did Xiong Tai slightly nod his head.

He sat down directly at the main seat, but Gu Kang was still standing, not daring to sit down.Gu Kang bowed his body and said solemnly: "I don't know if your Highness is coming to Lujiang County, what orders do you have?"

Xiong Tai came suddenly, and Gu Kang was also a little surprised.You must know that Xiong Tai has always been in the territory of Chu State, mainly to suppress the Wuxi barbarians in Chu State and deal with some forces in the south of Chu State.

Unexpectedly, it was Lujiang.

Xiong Tai shook his sleeves, and said in a deep voice: "This king came to Lujiang County today to expand the state of Chu. Today's Great Zhou is completely disintegrated. The original plan of the imperial court was to go north to leave Jingzhou, attack Yuzhou, and approach the state of Chu. Luoyang, Chang'an."

"But after some analysis, I think it's risky to do so, and it's easy to be resisted."

"Yangzhou, on the contrary, Yuan Wei is not strong, and he is more harsh on the people. Therefore, the current arrangement is to take Yuan Wei first and turn Yangzhou into the territory of our Chu State. As long as the entire Yangzhou is included in the Chu State, our Chu State will occupy the south Half of the country."

"Next, it will become easier to attack the Great Zhou, and even sweep the world."

"For the time being, if you don't attack in the name of Chu State, you will use your name. Once you fight in the name of Chu State, it will be very easy to be resisted by local forces in various places. Take Yangzhou quietly, and then return to Chu State."

Xiong Tai said: "At that time, we will send troops to the north to capture the entire Great Zhou."

After listening, Gu Kang said: "Your Highness, the situation in Yangzhou today has changed."

Xiong Tai said: "What change?"

Gu Kang said: "Jiujiang County was captured by Wang Qi of Qi. Wang Qi is now in Jiujiang County. In addition, Yuan Wei sent [-] troops to Jiujiang County to deal with Wang Qi, and sent an order for me to send troops to attack Wang Qi as well. Qi, attack with him."

Xiong Tai frowned slightly after hearing this.

He had just arrived in Yangzhou, so he didn't know that Jiujiang County had been captured by Wang Qi.

Xiong Tai knew about Wang Qi.

This person is not easy to deal with.

Very powerful.

Xiong Tai's eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "Since Wang Qi intervenes, it means that Wang Qi must be eliminated first, before the next step can be planned, and then we can deal with Yuan Wei. You directly agree to Yuan Wei's conditions. Wait for us Destroy Wang Qi, transfer troops to deal with Yuan Wei."

"Yes!"

Gu Kang replied immediately.

Xiong Tai said in a deep voice: "You mobilize your troops and prepare for the battle."

"Yes!"

Gu Kang didn't say much, replied again, and was ready to make arrangements immediately.When Gu Kang turned and left, just as he reached the entrance of the hall, Xiong Tai's voice came again suddenly: "Wait a minute!"

Gu Kang stopped, looked at Xiong Tai, and asked, "Does Your Highness have any orders?"

Xiong Tai said: "Is there nothing to say?"

Gu Kang was a little confused, looked at Xiong Tai, with a look of incomprehension, and said, "Your Highness, what else do you want to say?"

Xiong Tai said in a deep voice: "You go directly to mobilize troops, even though it is to attack Jiujiang Wang Qi. But how do we march, should we go by water or by land. Whether it is a night attack, or go there openly. Do we even need to arrange a sentry first? Tan, lurking in Jiujiang to spread the news. Don't you arrange this series of situations?"

Gu Kang's cheeks twitched.

The mood sank.

Xiong Tai's complexion was sharper than ever, and he said: "Gu Kang, you are a talent cultivated by our state of Chu, and you are a handful of top-notch people. You lurk in the Great Zhou, promoted step by step, and now serve as the prefect of a county. .Could it be that these years in Lujiang County have been too comfortable. So, even the most basic strategic planning of marching and fighting has been forgotten."

Having said this, Xiong Tai paused for a moment before continuing: "Warrior, there are many temples and great chances of winning. The most basic planning and deduction are not needed, so why fight? Is it possible to just pile up the number of people and see whose Whoever has more people wins?"

These words were extremely harsh, Gu Kang's expression was also unprecedentedly embarrassing when he heard it.

Very embarrassing.

Anyway, he has been in a high position all these years, and he is even more independent.To put it bluntly, it is tantamount to being the Emperor of the Earth.But now, he was bossed around all at once, and even pointed at his nose and scolded.

My heart is always a little uncomfortable.

Gu Kang didn't dare to show any disrespect, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Dereliction of duty, please forgive me, Your Highness."
