The strongest Marquis in history

Lu Yuanda said: "Humble post, Lu Yuanda, respect Your Highness."

"Your Highness!"

Everyone picked up the wine bottles and toasted Wang Qi together.

Wang Qi said with a smile: "Everyone, have a drink!"

He picked up the wine bottle and drank it down in one gulp, and the others followed suit.The expressions on each face seemed very relaxed.After all, they surrendered together with Lu Yuanda, which was equivalent to following Wang Qi and bringing them under Wang Qi's command.

Wang Qi put down the wine bottle, looked around the crowd, and finally landed on Lu Yuanda.Along the way, he collected information about Lu Yuanda, and he roughly understood Lu Yuanda's nature.

Lu Yuanda is a good official, and his official voice is also very good. After all, he has the ability to govern the local area.

Lu Yuanda has another hobby.

I like poetry and songs.

I also like the gathering of literati and scholars to comment on articles together.

Wang Qi smiled and said: "After I first entered Jiujiang County, the news I learned is that the literary style in Jiujiang County is at its peak. Especially in Yinling County, under the governance of Lu Taishou, the literary style is brilliant, and the literati gather. A sacred place of literature and Taoism in the south of the Yangtze River."

"Especially in Yinling County, there are Zhou Jin, Sun Lang and other celebrities gathered together, shining brilliantly."

"This king is also very envious!"

"Because under my king's rule, Qingzhou was barren, with a brain drain, a lack of scholars, and few real great Confucians. That is, in Nanyang County of Langya Kingdom under my rule, Cao Qisheng Cao Gong summoned a group of famous scholars and great Confucians to establish Nanyang Academy .”

Wang Qi sighed, with a look of emotion, and said: "Besides, there is a serious shortage of talents."

Lu Yuanda's eyes were bright, his expression was a little excited, and he asked, "Your Highness, Cao Qisheng, Duke Cao, is he still alive?"

Cao Qisheng's seniority is very high.

Looking around the world, he is also famous, after all, Cao Qisheng was from the same era as Ma Ying.Such a person has lived for 90 to [-] years, that is, Renrui is auspicious.Wherever people like Cao Qisheng go, they always carry a halo, and there will be countless scholars following them.

Wang Qi nodded and said, "Mr. Cao is in excellent health. He is now the dean of Nanyang Academy and has been teaching at Nanyang Academy. Speaking of the establishment of Nanyang Academy, Mr. Cao has contributed a lot."

Lu Yuanda said excitedly: "Your Highness, when it comes to relationships and origins, I'm the grandson of Mr. Cao. Because my teacher was a student of Mr. Cao back then, and he was a disciple of Mr. Cao."

Wang Qi raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

In this era, besides the family relationship, the relationship between teachers and disciples is also extremely strong.With this level of relationship, the relationship between the two parties can go one step further.

For example, Wang Qi and Lu Yuanda, if there is no such relationship, if Lu Yuanda surrenders, although he is also serving for Wang Qi, it may not be for death.But now it is different, with Cao Qisheng's line, Lu Yuanda no longer has any hidden dangers.

This is the benefit of the teacher-disciple relationship.

Cao Qisheng worked for Wang Qi, so Lu Yuanda, his disciple, was naturally the same.

Wang Qi said: "Unexpectedly, there is such a layer of origin. I think that when I first arrived in Nanyang County, I suffered from the decline of Nanyang County, lack of scholars, and many people in the area did not study."

"So, I personally went to Qingzhou and asked Mr. Cao to come out of the mountain. In the end, Mr. Cao went to Nanyang and helped me establish Nanyang. Unexpectedly, now I met Mr. Cao's disciple and grandson."

Wang Qi looked happy.

The look in Lu Yuanda's eyes seemed to be more kind.

Lu Yuanda said: "I didn't even think that Mr. Cao is still there. In the past, I didn't know where Mr. Cao was. Now that I know, I should go to visit. When the matter in Jiujiang County is over, I must go to Nanyang County. "

At this moment, Lu Yuanda was very excited.

Even though he is already very old, he has always respected teachers and respected teaching.Now knowing that Cao Qisheng is in Nanyang Academy, he naturally wants to visit.

Wang Qi nodded and said: "When the matter in Jiujiang County is over, you can go to Nanyang County first, and then you can take up the post. Regarding your arrangement, you want to go to Linzi and become an official in my palace. Or , go to Guangling County to serve as the prefect. Everything is up to your will and depends on your thoughts."

Lu Yuanda thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, I want to go to Nanyang Academy and stay in Nanyang Academy to work."

Wang Qi said: "This will not work."

Lu Yuanda asked, "Why?"

The rest of the people also looked at Wang Qi, a little surprised that Wang Qi refused so simply.After all, it is a good arrangement for Lu Yuanda to work in Nanyang Academy.

Wang Qi explained: "Prefect Lu, Mr. Cao is teaching at Nanyang Academy. His task is to educate more scholars so that they can work in various places after they complete their studies. The reason why the academy was established is so that scholars can govern the world and let them More people will live a better life."

"People of Confucianism, self-cultivation, family harmony, governance of the country, and peace of the world, since you have the ability, you should display it. You, Lu Yuanda, are capable people. If you return to the academy to work, it will be a waste of talent."

"This is not what Duke Cao wanted."

"So you go to visit Cao Gong, I agree. But I don't agree to stay in the academy to do things."

Wang Qi looked sincere and said: "I still hope that you can use your abilities to benefit the people. At around 50 years old, you are at the time when you have the most experience and should benefit the people. How can you go to the academy?" ?”

After listening to Wang Qi's words, Lu Yuanda's body shook. Through Wang Qi's words, he felt that Wang Qi was the real master.

In a word, there is a big pattern.

Putting it on Yuan Wei, Yuan Wei wished that he would not be an official.Because of the vacant official position, Yuan Wei can arrange for his confidants to do it.Here, Wang Qi is a real corporal who is respectful and worthy. He really thinks about him and the people.

Therefore, Lu Yuanda was convinced.

Lu Yuanda took a deep breath and said, "My lord, I am willing to serve in Guangling County. I will definitely manage Guangling County well and live up to my lord's high expectations."

His address to Wang Qi has changed.

Call it Lord.

This is a real recognition of Wang Qi, and recognition of Wang Qi as the master.Especially for a traditional scholar like Lu Yuanda, once he recognizes the master, it will be of real effectiveness, and he will no longer have two minds.

Wang Qi nodded and said, "That's right. Serving in a local area and benefiting one party is the greatest achievement. Because the reason why the scholars of Nanyang Academy study is to benefit the local area."

Lu Yuanda said: "The humble job understands."

At this moment, Zhou Jin, Sun Lang and the others looked at Wang Qi with admiration.These are all from scholar-official backgrounds, they are very particular about rules and ambitions, and they are people with ideals and ambitions.After listening to Wang Qi's words, they not only felt that Wang Qi's words were sincere, but also felt that Wang Qi's actions were generous.

All the people are sincerely convinced.

Wang Qi turned his eyes, looked at the rest of the people, and said with a smile: "When it comes to talents, I should extend my position a bit. Right now, Qi State is in need of talents. He is a talented person. If you don’t dislike it, you can go to Qi State. Our Qi State has jurisdiction over Qingzhou and Xuzhou. Now the land is vast and sparsely populated, and talents are scarce. You can all show your ambitions.”

Sun Lang said: "I would like to serve King Qi."

Zhou Jin also said: "I would like to serve King Qi."

The rest of the scholars also spoke one after another, expressing their willingness to join Wang Qi.The reason is very simple, everyone recognizes Wang Qi and thinks Wang Qi is the master of Xionglue.

Wang Qi can not only dominate one side, but also has the capital to compete in the world in the future.

Everyone joined together, and the atmosphere reached its best point. Wang Qi held the wine bottle and toasted everyone again.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The atmosphere is even more enthusiastic.

Most of the scholars present were not from a big local family like Zhou Jin, but lived in Yinling County.Now that they have the opportunity to follow Wang Qi and serve in the country of Qi, everyone is very happy.

There are many contenders in the world, and Wang Qi is one of them.

This is the reason for the joy of all.

After a banquet, the relationship became closer. After the banquet was over, Lu Yuanda asked Wang Qi to rest in the prefect's mansion, but Wang Qi refused. He took Xia Houhu and others back to the barracks to rest.

When Wang Qi returned to the barracks, he had just washed up and washed off the smell of alcohol. He was walking in the camp, watching soldiers burying pots for cooking, and when preparing dinner for the evening, a soldier came to Wang Qi's side and reported: " Your Highness, Lu Yuanda asks to see you."

Wang Qi said: "Please go to the big tent of the Chinese army."

"Yes!"

The soldier turned around and went to inform.

Wang Qi also turned around and returned to the camp to wait.

After a short time, Lu Yuanda entered.At present, Lu Yuanda also changed his clothes and washed off the smell of alcohol.When he saw Wang Qi, he bowed and saluted, "Master!"

Wang Qi said, "Sit down and talk!"

After Lu Yuanda thanked him, he sat down and said, "Humble job, it's about the counties in Jiujiang County. And, it's about Lujiang County in the west of Jiujiang County."

ps: Please recommend at the end of the chapter, thank you everyone.

Chapter 504 Good News

Wang Qi said in a deep voice, "Tell me what you think."

Lu Yuanda looked solemn, and said: "All the counties in Jiujiang County are confidantes who have been promoted by humble officials. As long as the humble officials arrange for people to send letters, the counties will naturally join them, and there will be no problem."

"Yuan Wei's garrison in Jiujiang County is mainly the [-] garrison at Zhoushan Ferry."

Lu Yuanda said: "This army has been wiped out, so here in Jiujiang County, the lord only needs to be stationed in Yinling County. If the lord is worried, you can adjust the officials of the counties, just mobilize."

Wang Qi shook his head and said: "No need, you just need to send a letter to various places to inform you that you have already belonged to our country of Qi, and there is no need to make more adjustments."

The prefect of Jiujiang County needs to be adjusted, but the counties don't need it.

The troops in the counties are small.

If Yuan Wei's army came, the counties would not be able to stop it, so it would not matter whether they adjusted or not.

Lu Yuanda said: "The humble job obeys!"

Lu Yuanda changed the subject and said again: "About the matter of Lujiang County, the prefect of Lujiang County has some knowledge and can provide some advice to the lord. If the lord is going to attack Lujiang County, I will talk about it in detail."

Wang Qidao: "For the time being, I will not attack Lujiang County. Because after seizing Lujiang, the battle line will be too long. When the time comes to fight Yuan Wei, it will be difficult to deal with it in a short time. But since it is mentioned, tell me, Let's see if it helps us."

Lu Yuanda thought for a while, and said: "The prefect of Lujiang County is named Gu Kang. This man's temperament is very slippery. He didn't resist Yuan Wei's proclaiming himself emperor, and he chose to surrender directly."

"Similarly, once the Lord's army is gone, I guess he will not resist and will choose to surrender. However, he will definitely stay in Lujiang County and will not leave."

"In other words, he just listens to the tune and not the announcement, and wants to maintain his own strength."

"Furthermore, Gu Kang's strength is not weak, even stronger than my Jiujiang County. The army under his command has at least 3 people, and he can fight well, which is very powerful."

Lu Yuanda said: "In most of the counties in Yangzhou, there are Yuan Wei's garrisons. However, in Lujiang County, there is no Yuan Wei's garrison. This is because Gu Kang is very powerful."

After Wang Qi heard this, he said in a deep voice, "So, Gu Kang is a thorn in the side!"

Lu Yuanda said: "Yes, Gu Kang is a thorny head. The most important point is that the west of Lujiang County is the area of ​​the Nanman Chu State. Gu Kang is also somewhat ambiguous with the Chu State. If you push him Then, he must do something to surrender to Chu State in exchange for Chu State's support."

"Of course, keeping him can also be used as a barrier against Chu."

"So it's very troublesome when it comes to Lujiang County. That's why Yuan Wei didn't do anything to Lujiang County. In short, the matter is relatively complicated, so Lujiang County's position in Yangzhou is relatively detached."

Lu Yuanda gave a general explanation.

After Wang Qi heard it, there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

Lujiang County is indeed different.

It can even be said that after entering Yangzhou, the situation in Yangzhou is different.

In the eyes of outsiders, Yuan Wei is the emperor of Chen Guo and has mastered Yangzhou.In fact, many places in Yangzhou under Yuan Wei's rule did not obey orders and had their own strength.

This is the case in Jiujiang County!

Lujiang County is like this!

I have to say that Yuan Wei, the emperor of the Chen Kingdom, really failed.

Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "I will deal with the matter of Gu Kang specially in the future. But at the moment, I will ignore Gu Kang for the time being. Because my main purpose now is to win the bridgehead of Jiujiang County as a base for attacking Yangzhou in the future." area."

"On the other hand, it is necessary to attract Yuan Wei's attention and contain Yuan Wei's troops for the victory of Guangling County. Right now we are advancing at the same time. I am here to capture Jiujiang County, and the other army is to capture Guangling County."

"For now, that's all there is to it."

"Not overextended."

Wang Qi said: "The reason is simple. Although the current Qingzhou and Xuzhou have already belonged to the Qi State, they are all subordinate to the Qi State. In fact, there is still a big lack of local governance."

"Especially in governing the region, money is needed everywhere. Moreover, within the territory of Qi, the people are being exempted from taxes and corvee. So at present, money, food, etc. will be problems."

"Continue to expand, because the time to govern the place is too short, the background is insufficient, and the foundation will be unstable."

Wang Qi said: "So hold on a little bit."

When Lu Yuanda heard it, he said solemnly: "If you forget the war, you will be in danger, and if you are warlike, you will perish. The master's arrangement is reasonable. If you blindly expand, the foundation will inevitably be unstable. On the contrary, only by strengthening the foundation of the local area can you have the confidence to expand. The world Undecided, don’t rush for now, take your time, don’t rush.”

Wang Qi said, "It's good that you understand."

Lu Yuanda said: "The matter has been reported, and I will resign from my humble position."

Wang Qidao: "No rush, there is still one thing that needs your cooperation and arrangement."

Lu Yuanda said: "My lord, please tell me."

Wang Qi said: "This matter is about what I have in control of Jiujiang County. The sentry under my command has a limited speed of dissemination of information. You have been in Jiujiang County for many years and have your own information and channels, so you can arrange this matter , arrange for people to spread the news widely in Wu County, and let Yuan Wei know as soon as possible."
