Chapter 273

Lu que knew in his heart that what he was worried about might not come true, but as a person who looked at the whole situation, he had to take all aspects into consideration. Otherwise, the unexpected situation would ruin the current good situation. Not to mention, there might be many soldiers who would die in vain because of him.

Since the start of the war in southern Xinjiang, Lu que has been under such heavy pressure every day. Even with his calm and tough heart, he feels as if he has a huge stone on his chest and is suffocating. Now the battle of Tianxing is completely on the side of Daqian, and the battle of Tianxing is coming to an end, but the pressure in his heart is even heavier. Because he understood that the more time it came, the less oversight there would be.

What Lu did not know was that many people were surprised and admired that he was able to do so. In particular, the foreign cabinet officials in charge of Daqian's army praised Lu que. These people who had gone through the war of Northern Xinjiang and the war of destroying Qingyang in those years knew that it was absolutely impossible for ordinary people to sort out the war situation so clearly under such huge pressure. What's more, this man was still a teenager under the age of 17, This is also the reason why the departments and departments of the foreign cabinet have been more active in cooperating with Lu than before.

Different from the cabinet in charge of Daqian's military affairs, the officials in the outer cabinet, whether they are handsome, generals or military strategists, all come from the military and are promoted to their present positions by virtue of their merits and seniority. Even though these people have different standpoints because of their family background, what these once hot-blooded men value more is a person's ability and talent. Since Lu que shows such ability and talent, he can be recognized and convinced by them.

"By the way, Zhuge, aren't you on Qiushou's list? Instead of going to the west mountain, he appears here. " Lu que put down his mind and looked at Zhuge Yan in surprise.

Besides Ye Zhiqiu, Gu Qianxue and Yun Xiansi, who have been sent to southern Xinjiang, they were appointed as the prince's aides some time ago. All the people who still stay in the capital are on the list of Qiushou. In the morning, he saw that Zhuge Yan had left the palace, and he didn't understand why he would stay here.

"If you don't tell me, I forgot." Zhuge Yan patted his head twice, picked up the file he had just come in with from the table beside him, and said, "I turned back because of this, which I specially sorted out these days. I wanted to give it to you today, but I forgot it when I left in the morning."

"What is this?" Lu que stares at Zhuge Yan's files curiously. He knows that with Zhuge Yan's character and his careful mind, he will not be aimless. Since he says so, this stack of files must be very important, otherwise he will not give up participating in this autumn's hunting and return specially.

"This is the file of the tianxingqing clan, the aristocratic clan and the local aristocratic clan compiled by me according to the intelligence of the Department of military intelligence and the Department of foreign affairs over the years. On it is not only the list of the major clans, but also the relationship between the clans, as well as some behaviors of their children in peacetime. I think this thing will be useful to you." Zhuge Yan glanced at the file in his hand, and then handed it to Lu que.

Since he knew that after the war of Lu que, he had to sacrifice his family to stabilize the Tianxing people, so he began to collate this information. It took him more than two months to collate it. Few people know about this matter, except for the foreign intelligence department and the military intelligence department, because Zhuge Yan knew very well that once the imperial court knew Lu Que's plan for the post-war war, it would set off an uproar, because since Lu que could use this method to deal with the tianxinghao family, many people would think that he would use the same method to comb the Da Qian Dynasty hall in the future.

"Thank you so much." Lu que took over the file and turned it over. At the top of the file was Yan family, the royal family of Tianxing, followed by Qiu family, Chai family and Xie family, the three families of Zhengqing, followed by Qiu family, who had great influence on Tianxing. Behind them were many medium-sized families and local families, such as Fan family, Chen family and pan family, The important members of each family have their specific biographies, and the complicated relationship between families. All the in laws and schools are listed.

Looking at the thick stack of files in his hand, Lu can't help but feel a touch in his eyes. He knows very well how many resources and contacts he needs to mobilize, and how much effort and time he needs to spend to make such a thing. It will take him at least a month if he wants to make such a thing with the full cooperation of the Department of foreign affairs and the Department of military intelligence.

Zhuge Yan didn't tell anyone, so he quietly made this file. Obviously, he expected that such a thing would have a huge effect in the future, and he didn't want to be distracted by it. His mind and friendship made Lu Qian tremble.

"You and my brother, what do you say this for?" A smile flashed in Zhuge Yan's eyes, and he waved his hand indifferently. Then he took out a folding fan from his right hand, knocked it on his left hand, and said, "besides, I'm living under your hands now, trying to figure out Shangguan's mind, but it's a daily necessary lesson for a humble man like me."

Looking at Zhuge Yan's appearance, Lu que thought of the style of a dissolute young man when he first met Zhuge Yan. Since the war started in southern Xinjiang, Zhuge Yan was transferred to the outer Pavilion by him. They were busy with all kinds of military affairs every day, but he had not seen Zhuge Yan's uninhibited appearance for a long time.

No matter what he will face in the future, as long as he has a confidant like Gu Qingcheng and a close friend like Zhuge Yan around him, he will not be afraid. Thinking of this, Lu que said, "well, well done. Now there is a vacancy in the position of army commander in Shesheng camp of Changqing army. After the war, You go there. "

"Junsima? I don't want to go. After this war, I will go back to the Imperial College to continue my studies. If I didn't have some foundation before, I would not have passed the imperial college entrance examination some time ago. If I did it again, I might have been driven out of the Imperial College. " Zhuge Yan exclaimed, shaking his head and joking. In the middle and low ranks of the army, the army commander Ma was the most tired to deal with all the chores in the camp. With his lazy nature, he could not stand such a day.

Besides, the Imperial College was very heavy. These people who were transferred to waige passed the imperial college entrance examination. Zhuge Yan shuddered at the thought of studying all night in ruishe before the imperial college entrance examination. If he didn't read most of the books in advance, he might be demoted to an ordinary college after the exam. If he is still busy with military affairs next year, he really can't guarantee that he can pass the exam.

Seeing Zhuge Yan's lingering fear, Lu can't help feeling sad. Even though the whole school knows what he is doing now, he is the chief of Fengming school after all. The test results must not be just above the requirements of the Imperial College. The test a few days ago really cost him a lot of effort. If he had not been taught by such talents as his father Lu Chun and his mentor Bai Lijia since he was a child, he might have made a fool of himself this time.

"Lu que, according to your calculation, how long will it take for the Tianxing war to end?" Zhuge Yan looked at the sand table and asked.

Lu que didn't expect Zhuge Yan to ask such a question. He was stunned and said, "if sister Qingcheng conquers Pingshan pass, and the two armies of Yulin and benlei on the North Bank of Huangyan River can also go south smoothly, maybe in one or two months, they can conquer the capital of Tianxing king and end the Tianxing war."

"But now Yan Tuohai on the South Bank of Huangyan River still has more than 100000 troops, and Qiu Xu's army, who returned to Tianxing capital, also has more than 100000 troops. With Xie Daoxian and Chai Yuanjian's troops and Tianxing Navy, Tianxing still has nearly 400000 troops. Can we really destroy Tianxing in one or two months?" Zhuge Yan broke his fingers and asked with some uncertainty.

"As long as Pingshan pass is in our hands, the whole war situation will be in our hands. No matter how many troops are left in Tianxing, it doesn't matter any more." Lu que shook his head and said, "besides, Tianxing is not the same as Tianxing last year. When the mad lion army was destroyed, xiyuanze army and Wangdu army were both defeated during the civil strife in Wangdu. Now it seems that Tianxing still has nearly 400000 troops, but in fact, apart from Tianxing Navy, whether it's Yan Tuohai, Duke of Wucheng, Qiu Xu or Xie Daoxian, Half to seven percent of their troops are recruits who have just joined the army for a few months. If Tianxing had won several big victories before, maybe these recruits would have formed combat power soon, but now they are nothing but a mob. "

Lu Qian's words are full of self-confidence. He has spent so much time and thought on the layout, just in order to destroy Tianxing and make Daqian's military strength not suffer too much loss. Now it's time to reap the fruits.

Thinking of this, Lu can't help looking at Zhuge strangely and saying, "although you are only seconded to the foreign cabinet in name, you are actually a counsellor. You should be clear about all these. Why do you ask such questions now?"

"Ai ~" ZHUGE Yan sighed and said, "Lu que, we were seconded to the foreign cabinet for your reasons, which gave us a rare opportunity. Our initial official positions in the future were much higher than those of our parents. But because of this, neither I nor Duanmu nor Qingyu could study in the Academy safely. In one year, at most two years, we all have to graduate from the school. According to the rules of the school, every winter students have to go out for training. I also want to go out for a walk, so that I don't regret my school life. "

"I see." Lu que nodded at Wen Yan. In fact, he knew that for Zhuge Yan, Duanmu ye and Lin Qingyu, being seconded this time would pave the way for the future, but at this stage, they prefer to study in the academy and do what a student should do.

In fact, Lu que hopes so. Fengming academy is a name he often heard from his elders since he can remember. He entered the Academy last year. Although he did not attend all the courses, he still felt that he had made great progress in his knowledge. After all, his father, mother and teacher Bai Lijia were all talents, not all talents. They all had their own emphasis, In addition to the knowledge he had learned, he naturally had other knowledge he was interested in, but the reality forced him not to study in the school as quietly as he trained his students.

"Where are you going to go for training, or the 36 countries of Shahai?" With a little emotion in his heart, Lu que asked. He had heard Zhuge Yan say more than once that he wanted to go to the Shahai countries, where there were exotic customs that he yearned for, as well as the charming western region singers and Shahai dancers.

To Lu's surprise, Zhuge Yan shook his head and said, "I will go to the countries of Shahai in the future, but now I want to go to my father."

Lu short smell speech eyebrow slightly a pick, heart immediately clear. Zhuge Yan's father is Zhuge Ju, the commander of the Tianhuo army. The Tianhuo army is stationed on the front line of the cold mountain to guard against the invasion of the grassland to the south. Zhuge Yan plans to go there to have a look. Obviously, he wants to prepare for another northern expedition to the grassland in the future. After all, books, information and maps are far less profound than seeing them personally.

What is more important is that all the people of the Three Kingdoms on the grassland are soldiers. Even the 15-year-old and 16-year-old are excellent soldiers on horseback. It is far more difficult to deal with the Three Kingdoms on the grassland than Tianxing and Nanli. This is why since the establishment of the country, the enemy has always been the grassland in the north, It is not inferior to the elite of the great army.

Just like the current situation of Heyan war, forty thousand Fengxiang cloud riders can make Xie Daoxian and Chai Yuanjian dare not send troops out of the city, but this would never happen if the grassland three kingdoms were changed. The golden wolf army, red deer army and Cangying army of the grassland three kingdoms are no worse than Fengxiang cloud riders.

Thinking of this, Lu can't help but look at Zhuge Yan. Zhuge Yan is the real Shao Guogong. Under his unrestrained appearance, he has a warm heart to serve the country. Because of this heart, Zhuge Yan's outstanding people of all ages will go to make contributions to the prosperity of Da Qian, They have never failed to live up to the name of auxiliary country that emperor Taizu imposed on their family.

Just as Lu que was about to say something, he suddenly found that there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the warm Pavilion. It should be two people. One of them was light footed and his breath was very calm. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Lu que could not help thinking of a bold figure with a beautiful chest. The owner of the figure was the forward general of Tianhuo army 20 years ago, The present Minister of the Ministry of war, Jing Wengong.

After a while, the door of the warm pavilion was pushed open from the outside, and two figures came in from the outside. Seeing the people coming, Lu Que and Zhuge Yan welcomed them together.

"Mr. Jing Shangshu, Mr. Zhuge." Lu Xuwei gave a salute. In addition to Jing Wengong, who had been guessed before, there was zhugewei, the official of Jingzhao. Among them, Jing Wengong was his uncle and zhugewei was the husband of his seventh aunt Yu Chuxin. Even if their official positions were not higher than him, he was the first to see him.

"I have seen Jing Shangshu." Zhuge Yan also bowed to them, then looked at Zhuge Wei and asked, "second uncle, why are you here?"

Lu Que and Zhuge Yan were not surprised by Jing Wengong's presence here. After all, the Ministry of arms was under the jurisdiction of waige. The Ministry of arms needed cooperation in both ordnance building and Quartermaster dispatching. In recent months, they have fought with this minister of arms countless times.

But zhugewei's presence here made them a little surprised. Zhugewei was the official of Jingzhao, and the whole capital of Qianyuan was under his jurisdiction. At this time, the emperor and his officials had gone to the west mountain to hunt in autumn. It should be his busiest time. Even if he was busy, he should go to the Wenhua Hall of the cabinet to find the second prime minister Liu budoubtless, who stayed in the imperial capital. He should not appear in Zhaowu Hall of waige.

"I've met Lu Shuai." Jing Wengong and zhugewei also saluted Lu que deeply. Although Lu que was one generation lower than the two, he was the second grade military commander of Yufeng.

And now he is in charge of the war in southern Xinjiang, and all the six legions are transferred by him. It can be said that he is superior to the generals, but the only difference is that he is a real commander in chief. In addition, Lu que is still the son of the Duke of Wei, and his title will fall to him sooner or later. Therefore, even Jing Wengong, the Minister of the Ministry of war, who is also the second grade official, does not dare to trust Lu que, and Zhuge Wei, who is the third grade official, is even more so. After all, this is a majestic and dignified Da Qian waige, where there is only official business and no personal friendship.

"Mr. Jing Shangshu and Mr. Zhuge, what's the matter with you two coming here together?" Lu short slightly side body, barely accepted half ceremony, then open mouth to ask a way.

As soon as Lu Que's voice fell, he looked at them. However, he found that Jing Wengong's eyes were on Zhuge Wei, and he couldn't help looking at them. Zhuge Yan also looked at his second uncle curiously. He didn't know whether he should listen to the next words, but since they didn't want him to stay away, he didn't leave.

When Zhuge Wei saw that they all looked at him, he said without affectation, "it's autumn hunting today. I sent the imperial patrol camp out to maintain the public order on the streets of the imperial capital, but I didn't want a person to ask the soldiers of the patrol camp about the foreign minister's residence directly. The soldiers of the patrol camp didn't realize that they were right and took the man to jingzhaoyin's residence."

"Ask about the foreign minister's residence?" Lu que slightly frowned and asked, "Mr. Zhuge, do you know who I am?"

"The emissary of the Nanli royal family, whom the man claimed to be, was indeed a Nanli man according to his accent." Zhugewei replied.
