The strongest Marquis in history

"When they woke up, they found that Wang Qi had disappeared."

"Now that Wang Qi leaves, many of our current affairs will come to a halt. Previously, the enthronement ceremony was entrusted to Wang Qi to arrange, but now this matter can only be entrusted to the two of you."

Lu Shengqi said: "The enthronement ceremony is a big matter, you must handle it well."

Zhu Yumin rejoiced and said: "Humble position, I will definitely live up to the great commander's high expectations."

He Peiqi said: "I will live up to your Majesty's trust."

At this time, He Peiqi directly changed his address, no longer calling him the commander, but his majesty.

Zhu Yumin glanced at He Peiqi, and he also said: "Your Majesty, although we are gone without Wang Qi, in fact, it has no effect. After all, our crisis has been resolved. Your Majesty is about to ascend the throne and become emperor. Next, Qingzhou will become independent. One country. Wang Qi left, this is Wang Qi's loss."

He also changed his address.

He Peiqi echoed: "Your Majesty, I also think that Wang Qi's departure is his loss. No matter what his status is, no matter what plans and goals he has, in short, we have solved the crisis and we have gained benefits."

Lu Shengqi said: "I'm here to worry about Wang Qi's conspiracy and arrangements."

He also changed his address.

Call yourself me!

Don't call me any more.

Lu Shengqi also enjoyed the feeling of being called the emperor.Such a title made him intoxicated and allowed him to enjoy a kind of supreme glory.

Zhu Yumin thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Qi came to His Majesty's command to help His Majesty solve Cheng Mao. This matter will benefit us and not harm us."

"Therefore, there is no need to worry about Wang Qi's purpose. Now, we only need to make proper arrangements for His Majesty's proclaiming himself emperor, and then entrust the commanders of various regions and gather local power."

Zhu Yumin said: "Only in this way can we continue to contend with Da Zhou."

He Peiqi echoed: "The minister also agrees with Mr. Zhu's analysis. The immediate task is to settle the matter of proclaiming the emperor. As long as His Majesty establishes a court and establishes another country, we will be on equal footing with Da Zhou. Since then, we and Between Da Zhou, it is no longer a rebellious relationship, but truly independent."

After Lu Shengqi heard it, he felt a little regretful, but he was not an indecisive person.

In the blink of an eye, he stopped thinking about Wang Qi.

Lu Shengqi nodded, and said: "What you said makes sense, that's all, you go to rest early. Next, prepare for the enthronement earlier, and at the same time inform all places to let everyone come back to watch the ceremony."

"Follow your orders!"

Zhu Yumin and He Peiqi responded together.

The two said their goodbyes happily, and went to rest separately.

Chapter 316 Returning to Nanyang

Into January, the weather is still cold.

This year is the 21st year of Jingtai, and Zhao Zhen has been emperor for 21 years.Being an emperor for more than 20 years is neither short nor long, but now, Zhao Zhen has successfully brought the Great Zhou into a state of decline, to the point where the building is about to collapse.

Da Zhou, I can't bear it any longer.

Wang Qi didn't care about these things, and even Da Zhou couldn't handle it, so Wang Qi was very happy.

Today's Dazhou has long been devastated.

The people from all over the country were displaced, and the people in the entire Da Zhou territory were living in a very sad state.And all of this was caused by Zhao Zhen himself.Wang Qi wished that the Great Zhou would collapse and a new order would be re-established.

Wang Qi and Xia Houhu rushed all the way, and at the beginning of January, they returned to the border of Nanyang.

Today, at the border between Nanyang and Qingzhou, there are still [-] troops stationed there.

There were not many people in the camp.

Wang Qi returned to the camp and met Zhuge Feng directly in the Chinese army tent.During this period of time, he has been busy, the weather is cold, and things are busy, Zhuge Feng has lost some weight.

Wang Qi and Zhuge Feng sat opposite each other, and he asked, "Brother, how is the situation these days?"

Zhuge Feng said with joy on his face, "When you first left Nanyang, the number of people who came to Nanyang increased on a large scale, and more and more day by day. At the most, nearly [-] people a day poured into the army. "

"In the future, it will gradually decrease."

"Even so, there are still people coming. Thanks to the army's sufficient food and the presence of steamed buns, we can ensure that the people who pour in will not be affected by hunger."

Zhuge Feng said: "From December to now, as many as 13 people have entered Nanyang. More than [-] people have all been sent to Nanyang and arranged by Zhu Shanchang in various places."

Wang Qi also had a smile on his face, and said: "More than 13 people are not a small number. With this group of people, Nanyang can gradually recover. In fact, there are still people entering from the rest of the border checkpoints. Plus There must be some people coming out of some deep mountains and old forests. Our current population in Nanyang should be no less than 20."

Zhuge Feng nodded and said, "That's the truth."

Wang Qi said: "Cao Qisheng, Duke Cao, is he still in the barracks?"

Zhuge Feng shook his head and said: "Mr. Cao has already gone south first. Speaking of Mr. Cao, I found that his skills are extraordinary. In the cold weather, his clothes are not particularly thick, but he is not afraid of the wind and cold. Especially his behavior He has the bearing of a grandmaster in his feet. I seriously doubt that he is a master in the realm of a grandmaster."

Wang Qi said with a smile: "He is a master at the master level, it's not easy."

Zhuge Feng nodded, and said again: "I have heard Du Can and Zong Xixiang talk about Mr. Cao's matter. Now Mr. Cao is taking his disciples to Nanyang to prepare to run a school. Zong Xixiang and Du Can stay behind In the army. Speaking of Zong Xixiang, this is a talent! His prediction of the celestial phenomena is extremely accurate. It will be of great help to us."

Wang Qi smiled and said: "The reason why Zong Xixiang was accepted is because of this. He is familiar with astronomy and geography, and has a deep research on astrology and weather. It is very important for us to march and fight in the future."

Zhuge Feng nodded, and continued: "It's just a matter of recruiting talents. The military commander has recruited some first-rate experts. There are nearly ten first-rate experts who have been arranged to serve in the army."

"There is no master in the master realm. After all, a master can live a good life wherever he is."

"There are very few capable scholars for the time being."

Zhuge Feng said: "The scholars who are coming down now are all people of equal ability. I will accept them all temporarily and arrange some to be in charge of military affairs in the army. More people will be arranged to be sent to Nanyang. Leave it to Zhu Shanchang to arrange."

Wang Qidao: "No matter what, it's not bad to have so many first-class masters."

For Wang Qi, his first priority is population.

There are enough people.

Only with so many people can there be follow-up development.

As for talents, to put it bluntly, any one from Wang Qi's current side is enough to preside over a county.So in terms of talents, Wang Qi is not in a hurry.

Wang Qi changed the subject and said: "Since that's the case, we are going to go south. By now, it's almost time to go back. Although there will be people coming one after another, it is impossible for too many people. What's more, Nanyang has been discovered everywhere. It is impossible to let the people come if you gather the people together. Now, let’s go back to Nanyang County.”

Zhuge Feng nodded and said, "Yes!"

He has been presiding over the affairs of the border, so he understands the situation.

In recent days, fewer and fewer people have come.Even sometimes, no people came to Nanyang at all, so at the moment, even if they evacuated, it would have no effect.

Wang Qi said: "Take a day off and prepare to leave."

Zhuge Feng got the order and immediately arranged it.

After the matter was arranged, Zhuge Feng said: "Second brother, you left Duke Cao and acted alone in Qingzhou. Could it be that you went to help Lu Shengqi and help him resist the imperial army?"

Zhuge Feng knew Wang Qi's ambition.

Zhuge Feng knew Wang Qi's situation well.

Once the situation in Qingzhou stabilizes, Nanyang, where Wang Qi is located, will actually be affected.

Only by using the war in Qingzhou to crush the imperial court and destroy its prestige once, can Wang Qi have a chance.Therefore, the war in Qingzhou must continue.

In other words, Lu Shengqi from Qingzhou had to defeat Cheng Mao.

Earlier, there was news that Cheng Mao was pressing harder and harder, making Lu Shengqi in trouble.Under such circumstances, Wang Qi acted alone, most likely to help Lu Shengqi.

Wang Qi nodded, and said: "I know I can't hide it from my brother. After I left Huang County, I did go straight to Linzi County. I helped Lu Shengqi plan and helped him defeat Cheng Mao."

"Now, Cheng Mao committed suicide on the battlefield, and the [-] army led by Cheng Mao was almost wiped out."

"Lu Shengqi is about to proclaim himself emperor."

Wang Qi looked expectantly, and said: "In the world, people who resist the Great Zhou have become popular. With Lu Shengqi proclaiming emperor, people with ambition and strength will appear one after another in the world."

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Zhuge Feng stroked his beard under his jaw, and said, "Second brother, your move is really subtle. Lu Shengqi proclaiming himself emperor, for Da Zhou, is equivalent to tearing off Da Zhou's last fig leaf. Da Zhou is about to completely Messed up."

Wang Qi said: "The collapse of the Great Zhou is precisely our opportunity."

Zhuge Feng said: "Indeed."

After a pause, Zhuge Feng said again: "Although I am here in the northern border of Nanyang County, I am also concerned about the situation in Langya Kingdom. Now the entire Langya Kingdom is in a mess."

Wang Qi said: "What's going on?"

Zhuge Feng said: "Actually, it was also influenced by Qingzhou. Originally, there were not many bandits in Langya Kingdom. However, Chen Yan, as the shepherd of Xuzhou, did not stabilize the situation, so the place was out of control."

"Over the past month or so, there have been bandits and bandits everywhere, and countless people have rebelled."

"There are several large counties that have been breached."

"Langya Kingdom is in complete chaos."

Zhuge Feng said: "The most important thing is that the Prime Minister of Langya Kingdom died in this turmoil. The Langya King of Langya Kingdom escaped from Langya Kingdom and went to Xiapi."

Wang Qi's eyes flashed brightly, and he said: "The weather in December is extremely cold. To the common people, this kind of weather is a reminder of death. Many people can't survive, so they rise up."

Zhuge Feng said: "Almost, it has the influence of this reason."

Wang Qi continued: "Langya Kingdom is in complete chaos, and our Nanyang is developing in an orderly manner. After the spring plowing is over, we will plan the entire Langya Kingdom. Only when there is a county is our real foothold. After all, the land is too small."

Zhuge Feng said: "That's the truth."

As Wang Qi's number one counselor and concurrently as his elder brother, Zhuge Feng hoped that Wang Qi would get better and better.

The stronger Wang Qi is, the more his ambition can be realized.

Zhuge Feng wanted to destroy Da Zhou.

Re-establish order.

Chapter 317 Long-Term Problems

Zhuge Feng changed the subject, and suddenly said: "Oh, there is one more thing, I forgot to mention. A few days ago, a group of Qingzhou thieves, about 4000 or nearly 5000 people, said that they were ordered by you. The county came to join you."

"I have accepted this group of people."

"The leader is named Wei Deli. I have investigated this man. He knows some military tactics, can read and write, and has some skills. After reorganizing the army, Wei Deli served as a military adviser for a battalion in the army."

Zhuge Feng said: "This group of people are all young and strong, quite elite, and have some combat effectiveness. If there are more such people, it will be very helpful for our strength to expand."

Wang Qi smiled lightly and said: "Brother, Wei Deli is a bandit in Huang County. I went to Huang County and gave them a way out. I said that if they are willing to go south, I will accept them. So, they came The rest of the thieves may not necessarily go south. Now that there is this group of troops, there are quite a few of them.”

Zhuge Feng said: "It is indeed so."

Wang Qi and Zhuge Feng chatted about the army, and learned about the development of Nanyang.

Everything is fine.

After Wang Qi talked with Zhuge Feng, Wang Qi rested for half an hour, then got up and walked out of the Chinese army tent, and went to visit Wei Deli, asking if Wei Deli and other important people are used to life in the army.

After Wang Qi inquired, Wei Deli and those who were born in bandits felt at ease.

In fact, they were very happy to be converted.The reason is very simple, the treatment of the army is very good, the food is also quite good, many people have already integrated into the army.

Wang Qi inspected the army for a while, and finally returned to the big tent of the Chinese army to rest.

One day is fleeting.

The next morning.

Wang Qi led the army to set off southward.

When he came, there were only 3000 people in Wang Qi's army.Returning this time, in Wang Qi's army, the standing army, that is, the elite number in charge of combat, has expanded to more than [-] people.

In addition, there are many auxiliary soldiers responsible for cooking and fortifications.

As the army became more and more regularized, the division of the army became clearer and clearer.

Not so messy.

The army set off to the south, accompanied by some civilians, so the speed of the journey was not too fast.It was late January when I went south from the northern border of Nanyang County and returned to the county seat.

It was still cold, but not as cold as it was in early January.

From time to time, there are sunny days.

Along the way, Wang Qi kept walking and looking around.He saw the villages in various places and found that there were people in the villages. He noticed that the land in various places had been re-digged and ready to be cultivated. He was very happy.
