The strongest Marquis in history

We must consider for the state of Chu.

Xiong Huai immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "The old ancestor will surely succeed if he makes a move."

Xiong Yuanxiang waved his hand, and Xiong Huai and Qu Ping turned and left.Both of them are quite relaxed now.Because for the two of them, it was easy for Xiong Yuanxiang to kill Wang Qi, and it was impossible for any accident to happen.

The two went straight back to the Xiangyang Palace. As soon as they returned to the palace, a servant came in to report that Gu Kang's family members had all disappeared and no one was left behind.

Xiong Huai was not angry when he heard the news.

It's just Gu Kang.

A post-autumn grasshopper, after killing Wang Qi, the remaining Gu Kang is nothing to worry about, so he will naturally take Gu Kang down.When the time comes, let Gu Kang survive but not die.

Xiong Huai waved his hand to let the servants back down. He said in a deep voice, "Prime Minister, now we have to deal with Wang Qi, and we have to be prepared here. Once Wang Qi is killed, we can take action and first take Lujiang County into our hands."

Qu Ping nodded and said: "This matter, I will arrange everything. In short, our army on the Lujiang border will be ready to send troops at any time. As long as the ancestors return, they will attack Wang Qi and Gu Kang."

Xiong Huai said: "That's it, go get busy and get ready for the next battle."

"Yes!"

Qu Ping got the order, turned around and retreated.

With Qu Ping retreating, although Xiong Huai was still angry in his heart, he also had a touch of expectation.

Looking forward to Wang Qi being killed.

Looking forward to avenging Xiong Tai.

Chapter 527 Unexpected

In September, autumn is high and crisp, and the weather is comfortable.

The autumn harvest has been completed in Lujiang County, and the people in every household have food, and their faces are full of joy.Especially this year's Lujiang County is another bumper harvest year.The most important thing is that the government announced the exemption of this year's tax, and even the reduction of corvee. Under each policy, the life of the people is better, and every household has surplus food.

All the counties in Lujiang County were completely attached to Wang Qi.Xunyang County, Juchao County and Wan County in the south are also under Wang Qi's control, and everything is progressing in an orderly manner.

On this day, Qu Jin came to the barracks where Wang Qi was.

Wang Qi mainly settled in the military camp.

The prefect's mansion is still left to Gu Kang, after all, Gu Kang is still temporarily handling the affairs of Lujiang County.

Qu Jin, as Wang Qi's counselor, was by Wang Qi's side, responsible for assisting Wang Qi in handling government affairs, and also serving as a staff officer in military affairs.

After Qu Jin stood still, he saluted and said, "Your Highness, I just received the news that Gu Kang's family members have been delivered, and they have successfully joined Gu Kang. Next, Gu Kang will send people to Nanyang County. The matter here in Lujiang County , it will come to an end."

Wang Qidao: "Lujiang County itself has nothing to do, and we don't know how the Chu State will respond for the time being. At the moment, we have to stay for a while to see what war will happen."

"Report!"

Just then, soldiers entered.

The soldier stood still and said, "Your Highness, there is a message from Prefect Lu, please read it."

Wang Qi took the letter and quickly flipped through it.After Wang Qi saw the content, his brows raised, slightly surprised.Because the content of the letter is about Yuan Wei's news.

According to the letter, more than [-] elite soldiers led by Yuan Wei have been wandering around the border since arriving at the border of Jiujiang County, and have never directly invaded Jiujiang County.

Wang Qi was surprised because Yuan Wei would be so timid.Or, up to now, Yuan Wei is still thinking of killing people with a knife, using Gu Kang to weaken Wang Qi, and then Yuan Wei is fishing in troubled waters.

Such a situation is good, at least the current Jiujiang County is extremely safe for the time being.

Wang Qi told Qu Jin the news about Yuan Wei, and said in a deep voice, "Jiujiang County is safe for the time being. So what we have to do is to stabilize Lujiang County and resolve the war with Chu."

Qu Jin said: "Your Highness, I think that Chu State may retaliate. However, although Chu State is strong, the domestic situation may not be stable after Xiong Tai's death. Even if Chu State sends troops, it is limited. Our strength is completely You can put it on Yuan Wei and strive to directly capture Yangzhou and destroy Yuan Wei."

Wang Qidao: "It will be a matter of time before Yuan Wei is taken down, but it is not time to start the war. Qi is still developing, and Yuan Wei is not weak and has enough strength. Now we need to consolidate the foundation of the local area first, and then take it down little by little. Yuan Wei."

Qu Jin said: "The humble job understands."

"Report!"

Just then, another soldier entered.

The soldier said: "His Royal Highness, there is another urgent message sent by Lu Taishou [-] miles away."

Wang Qi took it and opened the letter to check.The last letter was sent at the beginning, but I was not in a hurry, so the speed of the journey was slower.This letter, which is more important, was ordered by the soldiers to send it with haste.

So the two letters before and after were delivered almost at the same time.

After watching the game, Wang Qi immediately laughed.

Qu Jin was a little curious and asked, "Why is Your Highness laughing?"

Wang Qidao: "The reason why this king is laughing is because of the urgent news that has just been delivered from eight hundred miles. Yuan Wei received the news of Gu Kang's defeat and surrender, so he led his troops to retreat, left in despair, and never attacked Jiujiang County again. "

Qu Jin also couldn't help laughing.

Yuan Wei is really as timid as a mouse.

To retreat directly before launching an attack is simply in vain as the king of a country.

Qu Jin's eyes were sharp and he said: "Yuan Wei has been pale for a long time, and he has lost his courage. Even Yuan Wei himself doesn't understand the principles of governing the country, and he doesn't understand the real marching and fighting. Yuan Wei retreats, and he will attack Yuan Wei in the future. It went well."

Wang Qidao: "That's the truth, Qu Jin, but there are other things?"

Qu Jin said: "No more!"

Immediately, he got up and left directly, but when he reached the gate of the tent, he was stopped by Wang Qi.

Qu Jin turned around and said, "Does Your Highness have any orders?"

Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "Mr. Qu, the matter in Lujiang County is resolved, and Gu Kang will go to Yinling County, Jiujiang County to take up the post and officially take up the post of Yangzhou Shepherd. Here in Lujiang County, there is no one to take care of it, and a new head is needed. Officer. Are you willing to serve as the prefect of Lujiang County?"

Qu Jin said: "I don't want to be in a humble position."

Wang Qi was even more surprised when he heard it.

Don't want to?

It is surprising that Qu Jin is unwilling to be an official in the local area.

Wang Qi asked, "Why?"

Qu Jin said: "The reason is very simple. I don't have the ability to govern the local government. If it is said to advise various strategies, the humble function is right. If I really let me make my own decisions, I will get into trouble. I am suitable for making suggestions. It is a big difficulty. At the most critical moment, Lujiang is bordered by Chu State, which is very crucial. Therefore, I implore Your Highness to reassign someone to be the prefect of Lujiang County."

Wang Qi flicked his sleeves and said: "What you have to do is to govern the local area, and it will not involve leading troops to fight. For the defense of Lujiang County, I will arrange for the troops to be stationed. If you don't govern the local area now, In the future, why do you govern the local area? Why do you base yourself on the center. Local governance experience is a must.”

Qu Jin fell silent after hearing this.

Wang Qi's words made sense, but he was not confident in himself.After all, he has never even served as a local county magistrate.It stands to reason that Wang Qi entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, so he should be happy and jump for joy.

Qu Jin didn't have such a temperament.

He didn't want to disappoint people, and he didn't want to do things that he wasn't sure about, so he just said he didn't want to.

Qu Jin glanced at Wang Qi, seeing Wang Qi's insistence, he didn't say much, and said directly: "I will obey your orders, and I will go all out to live up to His Highness's high expectations."

Wang Qi nodded and said: "Go ahead, get ready to take over. You and Gu Kang are already familiar with each other, so let's hand over the matter."

"Yes!"

Qu Jin answered and turned to leave.

Wang Qi looked at Qu Jin's leaving back, but there was a smile on his face.Qu Jin himself had never governed a place before, so he felt uneasy, which is also very good.Only when you have a sense of awe will you do things conscientiously.

The most important thing is that Wang Qi believes in Qu Jin's ability. Qu Jin can assist Gu Kang to manage Lujiang County well. Putting it on Qu Jin himself, it will not be difficult to manage the place well.

Wang Qi only needs to delegate power.

Gu Kang and Qu Jin are responsible for government affairs, and what he has to do is to arrest the army.

This is the most fundamental thing. At any time, political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.Once you have mastered the army, you have mastered the fundamentals.The daily drills of Wang Qi's army continued without stopping.

Time passed, and in the evening, the sun set.

Outside the barracks, a carriage stopped.

An old man with a bald head, with a slightly bent back, stepped out of the carriage and walked over.

The person who came was Xiong Yuanxiang.

He set off from Xiangyang, entered Xunyang County, Lujiang County by water, then went all the way north, and arrived in Shu County in a short time.As soon as Xiong Yuanxiang stood at the gate of the camp, he didn't hide his life at all, and said directly: "Old man Xiong Yuanxiang, he came from Chu State. He has important matters to meet King Qi. Please inform him."

He was thin and his back was even slightly bent, but when he spoke, he had the bearing of a superior person, which made people feel unquestionable.

After hearing this, the soldiers hurried to report.

After Wang Qi heard the news, his face was a little more surprised. It was a person from Chu country, especially a person with the surname Xiong.

Could it be revenge for Xiong Tai?

The state of Chu, the surname Xiong, and Xiong Tai before that, plus the news reported by Qu Jin, many factors combined together, Wang Qi naturally connected the news together and conjectured.

Wang Qi was not careless, he directly ordered: "Xiahouhu!"

"exist!"

Xia Houhu immediately entered the answer.

Wang Qi said: "Go and gather [-] personal guards and follow me out of the camp. An old man came outside the camp. He is from the state of Chu. He may be a master of the great master. We have to try it out."

"Yes!"

Xia Houhu immediately went to deliver the order.

After a while, Xia Houhu mobilized three hundred guards.He came to Wang Qi's camp and reported: "Your Highness, everything has been prepared. The three hundred personal guards are all outside the camp."

Wang Qi said: "Let's go!"

He got up and went out.

Xia Houhu also followed.

Wang Qi had guesses in his mind, so he wouldn't take it lightly.Because he had never fought against the great master before, he didn't know how powerful the great master was, so Wang Qi had to be cautious, he would not make fun of his own life.

He is not alone.

Rather, it represents countless people.

Wang Qi walked straight to the gate of the camp. When Wang Qi arrived at the gate of the camp, he waved his big hand, and the [-] soldiers under his command quickly stepped forward and surrounded Xiong Yuanxiang.

Xiong Yuanxiang was stunned.

The vicissitudes of the old face are full of surprise and disbelief, what's going on?

It shouldn't be like this.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't it be that when he said he wanted to see something, Wang Qi would meet him in the big tent, and then when he saw Wang Qi, he would directly launch a surprise attack and kill Wang Qi with one blow?

However, Wang Qi directly led his troops out and surrounded him.

What is this operation?

Chapter 528

Xiong Yuanxiang's eyes fell directly on Wang Qi.Because when it comes to the appearance, temperament, age, and attire of the people who came out, Wang Qi is very clear at a glance.

What's more, although Wang Qi's skill is restrained, Xiong Yuanxiang can judge it.

Xiong Yuanxiang said in a deep voice, "You are Wang Qi?"

"I'm!"

Wang Qi nodded.

He tentatively asked: "You are the only great master of the Chu State, and you were also Xiong Yuanxiang who defeated the Great Zhou army by yourself on the border of the Chu State 15 years ago?"

Xiong Yuanxiang's pupils shrank.

How is it so clear.

Xiong Yuanxiang naturally didn't know that what Wang Qi said was actually a seven-point temptation. After all, Wang Qi only got the news of Qu Jin, so he wasn't sure if it was true.

Xiong Yuanxiang was a very proud person, a great master master, rare in the world, and he was the only great master in Chu State.So Xiong Yuanxiang held his head high, and said loudly, "This old man is Xiong Yuanxiang, the only great master of Chu."

After Wang Qi was sure, he probed again: "You came to Shu County now to avenge Xiong Tai, are you going to kill me?"

"Yes, those who stand in my way will die!"
