Chapter 411
Of course, for Li Chongjiu, this time to fight against Goguryeo, dispatching Ding Lingbu and his own navy did not involve much. His own strength to fight against Dou Jiande, and at the same time fulfilled the request of the Silla allies to restrain the attack on Goguryeo.

In case of capturing a stronghold in the Liaodong Peninsula, Li Chongjiu's navy will have a place to be brave. In this way, there will be a transit port between Bohai Bay and Silla, which will greatly facilitate the trade between the two sides, and even go south to Shandong.

This was Li Chongjiu's next move. Although Xue Wanche and other generals didn't think about the far-reaching intentions behind it, they didn't object because they didn't use many troops.

As for the fight against Dou Jiande, Li Chongjiu has also been planning.Dou Jiande's army is now stronger than Li Chongjiu, and there are Liu Heita, Su Dingfang, Cheng Mingzhen, Wang Fubao and other famous generals, Song Zhengben under his command, Ling Jing is also good at someone.

If the Youzhou army takes the initiative to attack and take the offensive, the risk is very high, but waiting for Dou Jiande to attack is tantamount to taking the initiative in Dou Jiande's hands, not to mention the need to secure the interior first to fight against the outside, and Li Chongjiu's Youzhou is not stable.

At this time Li Chongjiu said: "There is one more thing to tell everyone."

Li Chongjiu took a look first, and Lu Chengqing, who was beside him, said: "His Royal Highness Qi Wang has decided to marry the late royal servant Wang Yu's honorable queen, and the marriage will be held this month."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was surprised when they heard the words, because it was rumored that the daughter of the Lu family that His Royal Highness King Qi intended to marry, and even the two parties had a tacit understanding, but in the end it turned out that Princess Qi was chosen by the Wang family of Taiyuan.

The imperial servant, Wang Zunye, is the father of Wang Gui who joined the army. Wang Shennian, the father of Wang Zunye, was a famous official in the Wei and Liang dynasties. Wang Zunye also had a younger brother who was defeated by Chen Baxian. Wang Seng identified.

Wang Shennian's branch is a well-known Wang family in Taiyuan, because his ancestors were Karasuma captains, so the Karasuma Wang family is absolutely worthy of King Qi in terms of status.

Those present who understood at the same time thought that Li Chongjiu had apparently abandoned the Lu family by doing this, and instead relied on the Taiyuan Wang family who also had five surnames and Qiwang, and at the same time had relatives with Li Chongjiu from the same hometown.In fact, compared to the negative attitude of Fan Yang and the Lu family who came to Youzhou, the Taiyuan Wang family was not so arrogant.

The Taiyuan Wang family is now the most prosperous and has three branches.

Wang Gui's Karasuma Wang family was the leader of the Taiyuan Wang family in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but because they participated in the rebellion of Han Wang Yang Liang, they were investigated by the court, and the result is now the worst. Wang Gui is now an official Li Chongjiu, which is a political investment.

In addition, the Taiyuan Wang family also had a branch of Wang Tongqi, a great Confucian known as Confucius in the present age.Although Wang Tong had passed away, his younger brother Wang Ji and his son Wang Fusi were all in Suqin, and Wang Gui stepped forward and served as an official in Taiyuan County.This is because of Wang Gui's affection, and secondly, Su Su was a student of Wang Tong's school back then, and the relationship between the two parties has always been good.Now Wang Ji is the Sima of Taiyuan County, and Wang Fusi is the magistrate of Taigu County, Taiyuan County. In addition to these two, there are more than ten Wang's children serving as officials under Li Chongjiu's command.

Wang Bo, a great poet in history, was the son of Wang Fusi.

In addition to Wang Gui and Wang Tong, there is also Wang Sizheng, a famous general of the Western Wei Dynasty. However, this branch is very close to the Guanlong clan and has now taken refuge in Li Tang. Wang is the granddaughter of Wang Sizheng.

With the marriage between King Qi and the Wang family of Taiyuan, and the marriage between Li Chongjiu and Yang Ehuang, the political structure of Youzhou is generally clear.

The Wang family in Taiyuan was uplifted, but the Lu family in Fanyang plummeted.Everyone looked at Lu Chengqing and couldn't help sighing secretly. The Lu family is the strongest noble family in Youzhou, but now they have been ordered by Li Chongjiu to renege on the marriage. Will Fan Yang's Lu family be reconciled?

Lu Chengqing seemed to be very calm, and calmly expressed his congratulations to Li Chongjiu, which can only be described in four words: honor or disgrace.

After Lu Chengqing returned to the Lu Mansion, he calmly told Lu Ziqian about Li Chongjiu's decision.

When Lu Ziqian heard the words, a look of shock and anger flashed across his face, and then he said with a smile: "Little Shi Ai, it seems that he really regards himself as a character."

Lu Chengqing said: "Uncle, I think it is father and you who accepted the gift from Li Tang. The governor knew about it. He thought that we should have both ways, so he made this decision."

Lu Ziqian said with a sneer, "What's the reason? Li Yuan wants to seal our Lu family, can we refuse it? You know that not only your father, but also my Lu family has more than a dozen nephews serving in Li Tang."

"Then uncle, why did you accept Li Tang's canonization?" Lu Chengqing asked.

Lu Ziqian said angrily, "Are you questioning me?"

"Don't dare." Lu Chengqing bowed his head and said.

Lu Ziqian took a deep breath: "From your point of view, how can I restore it now?"

Lu Chengqing said: "From my nephew's point of view, the only priority is to regain the trust of Lord Shanggu. Otherwise, unless all of our Lu family moves out of Youzhou, I'm afraid that catastrophe for the Lu family will not be far away."

Lu Ziqian said: "My Lu family has been rooted in Youzhou for a hundred years, how can I move away. I have always been a person with clear grievances and grievances. Since Li Chongjiu is unkind, we can only be unrighteous."

"Uncle!" Lu Chengqing said in surprise.

Lu Ziqian said: "I decide this matter alone. You don't need to know, and you don't need to intervene. If the matter fails, I will do my best. If it succeeds, I will take the stone." Abu Yi is pretty."

Le Shou, Jincheng Palace.

The autumn wind is chilling, and there are many soldiers standing on the corridor.

A man in servant's clothes said to Dou Jiande: "This is a map of the nine counties of Zhuo County, the topographical map of the nine counties of Zhuo County, and the list of key points for city defense, officials and generals. It is to assist your Majesty in capturing Zhuo County."

Dou Jiande took the map and book from the servant, glanced at it, and handed it directly to Song Zhengben and Ling Jing beside him.

Song Zhengben and Ling Jing took it apart and inspected it carefully. Dou Jiande said: "I have never had any contact with your Duke Lu, why did you send me such a heavy gift this time?"

The servant of the Lu family said: "Since your Majesty raised his troops, he has always won battles and taken attacks. He is wise and powerful, and he is the master of destiny. My father and elders in Youzhou are all looking forward to Xia Jun's pacification of Youzhou."

"Sycophant!" A cold snort came, and it turned out to be General Liu Heita who said with a sneer.

Dou Jiande looked at Liu Heitai and said, "Is it wrong? Guo Xuan, Xue Shixiong, Wei Dao'er, which one is not my defeated general, the battle must be won, the attack must be captured, what you said is very good."

Rebuked by Dou Jiande, Liu Heita grinned and stopped talking.

Dou Jiande cast a sharp look and said, "To be honest, why did Lu Ziqian vote for me all of a sudden?"

Shocked by Dou Jiande's power, the servant bowed his head and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Li Chongjiu is really deceiving people too much. Before capturing Youzhou, he used disgraceful means. Now, my Lu family wanted to propose marriage to King Qi. But Li Chongjiu suddenly went back on his word and let Taiyuan Wang marry Qi Wang. This person has broken his promise and is not the Lord of Youzhou."

Dou Jiande narrowed his eyes.

"Is it true that Li Chongjiu regretted his marriage?" Liu Heita asked.

The servant of the famous family said: "All the official circles in Youzhou know about this matter. My Lu family is really disgraced. You can find out after you inquire."

"Your Majesty, these Zhuo County maps and books are all real." Song Zhengben said.

Ling Jing asked: "Since there are maps and books, why is there no map of the layout of soldiers and horses?" "

The servant of the famous family said: "The Youzhou army has always controlled the layout of the soldiers and horses very strictly. There are people watching inside and outside, and my Lu family can't get it."

Song Zhengben looked at Fang Yan coldly and said: "If there is no plan for the layout of soldiers and horses, how can you convince me that your Patriarch really intends to join our King Xia?"

The servant said: "Don't worry, if King Xia really intends to seize Youzhou, our Lu family will definitely get it in the near future."

"Let's wait until we get it. We don't have any plans to send troops to Youzhou this fall." Song Zhengben said with a sneer.

Ling Jing said: "That's right, the grass grows in autumn and the warblers fly, and the cavalry on the front are fat and strong. It is said that I know that Li Chongjiu used troops. He attacked Song Jingang in the first year, Zhuojun in the second year, and Taiyuan in the third year. Both are autumn and winter seasons, with the help of grassland cavalry to send troops. Therefore, we also choose to fight in spring and summer, when the water is flooding and the cavalry is difficult to move, and we will not choose autumn and winter."

Dou Jiande nodded and said, "Song Nayan, what Ling Jijiu means is what I, Dou Jiande, mean."

The servant laughed and said, "Your Majesty still refuses to have a heart-to-heart relationship with me. Who doesn't know that His Majesty borrowed troops from the Turks and wanted to attack Youzhou from north to south, so why should you be afraid of horsemen on the grassland?"

Liu Heikai sneered and said: "Your Lu family's news is really well-informed, so you should also know that Turkic did not agree to our request."

The servant said: "But as far as I know, the Turks didn't agree, but they didn't say that they refused to send troops to Huaihuang Town. As long as our Lu family spreads the news on the grassland, saying that the Turks will raise an army to attack Huaihuang, Yuyi Er Once the Fan people in Huaihuang Town and Huaihuang Town are afraid, they will guard their land and dare not go south. Our Lu family can take care of this matter."

Hearing what the other party said, Dou Jiande's eyes flashed, obviously there was a bit of excitement here.

The servant of the famous family said: "Without the assistance of the grassland horsemen, with the tens of thousands of horses in Youzhou, and my Lu family as the internal support, wouldn't your Majesty's 20 troops not be able to attack Youzhou?"
"Is this using words to provoke me?" Dou Jiande rolled his eyes.

The servant of the famous family said: "Don't dare, my Lu family really has selfish intentions. Li Chongjiu has a kind face and a cruel heart. Once he turns his face on him, my Lu family has thousands of people in Youzhou. I'm afraid they will die."

"Go down for me and wait for news." Dou Jiande waved his hand.

The domestic servant was taken aback and then exited the hall under the escort of the Golden Palace soldiers.

Dou Jiande looked at the ministers and asked, "What do you think?"

Minister Wang Cong said: "Since the rise of Hebei, our army has been invincible in all battles. Right now, the morale of the three armies is booming, and the momentum is like a rainbow. Right now, only Youzhou is left in Hebei. Fight down, so Hebei is in the palm of your hand."

As soon as these words came out, all the generals nodded their heads, Dou Jiande sent troops to Hebei, and indeed he had no opponents.
Zhang Xuansu, the attendant of the Huangmen Gate, said, "Your Majesty, I think this matter still needs to be discussed."
