Chapter 137
Qi Lu said with a smile: "Besides, if the emperor did not bring Lu with him, let alone fried or steamed spring rolls, he would not even be able to eat a single spring roll."
Bang!
As soon as Qi Lu finished speaking, he suddenly felt his wrist tightening and he was already tightly held in the palm of his hand by the emperor's big palm, as if he was shackled by an iron hoop.
Qi Lu instantly met the emperor's "eyeful" eyes, as if he was about to swallow Qi Lu in one mouthful. Then he heard the emperor say in a hoarse voice: "I... I want to eat the Grand Tutor now."
Qi Lu was stunned and then said, "Wait, Emperor, what Lu means... Now we should clearly discuss the matter of sending troops..."
Qi Lu made spring scrolls in the morning and brought them to the Taishi of the Lu Palace. At that time, the emperor was summoning Zhou Gong Heijian, Grand Sima Wuman and Hu Ben Lang General Shi Hou. The emperor asked the three of them to withdraw from Lu Palace first and continue to summon him later. However, when they waited left and right, Wuman could not sit still in the Political Affairs Hall, and he still hadn't waited for the emperor to summon him.
Wuman said strangely: "Why haven't the emperor summoned me yet?"
Zhou Gong Hei Jian was very calm. Guo Gong Jifu and Hu Ben Lang General Zhu Dan had already set off as the vanguard, and rushed straight to Peiqiu of Qi. He was evacuating the documents for supplies and was smiling faintly, saying, "The Grand Sima doesn't have to wait, I'll just be busy with the matter at hand first."
The emperor personally conquered Shanrong, and the team was confirmed, but soon there was a change. The central army was still the commander of Zhou Gong's black shoulders, the left wing was still the commander of Grand Sima Wuman, and the right wing was still the commander of Hu Ben Lang General Shi Hou. But surprisingly, the emperor actually brought the "Tao Fu Qi who has fallen out of favor"!
These days, there were rumors in the uterus that Qi Taifu had fallen out of favor. Because Qi Taifu was a bloodline in Qi, the emperor was afraid of Qi Taifu and wanted to suppress Qi Taifu's power. He was very evident. It was so important to go to personally conquer the army this time, and there was no place for Qi Taifu.
Isn't this? The slap in the face always comes so quickly. When it's time for the time of sending troops in person, the army of Luoshi's city gate lined up in a majestic formation, and Qi Lushi appeared in front of everyone.
Qi Lu walked among the crowd wearing the robe of the Grand Tutor. Several uncles and officials smiled and said, "Trial Tutor Qi, today the emperor is in charge. Is the Grand Tutor here to practice it?"
Qi Lu shook his head with a smile and said, "No."
Before the officials could laugh at Qi Lu's loss of favor, they heard the voice of the temple man. The temple man who was serving the emperor, jogging over and urging him, "Tao Fu Qi, the emperor invites you to attend!"
Those nobles who were just teasing Qi Lu were surprised and took the initiative. Hearing this, Taifu Qi was actually in the personal ranks?
Qi Lu smiled and looked at the slapped officials in the face and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, Lu still has something to do, who told me that Wang can't live without Lu for a moment? Forgive me, Lu is going to work hard now."
The nobles and officials looked embarrassed, and they seemed to be cracked, but they still pretended to be humble like their grandson, and respectfully sent the extremely proud Taifu Qi away.
Qi Lu wished he could take a square step, with a look of favored treacherous ministers, and in full view of everyone, he climbed the emperor's carriage to join.
As soon as Qi Lu entered the cart with a short body, he was suddenly grabbed by a big palm and pulled in. He was unstable and almost fell into the cart with a big palm.
However, Qi Lu did not fall into the carriage, but fell into a hard embrace. When he looked at it, he was the emperor!
The emperor did not wear a black robe today, but was wearing black armor, revealing his youthful and wild beauty. Because of the armor, the emperor looked taller and more majestic than usual. The feeling of solemn and abstinent made Taifu Qi fall in love with him at first sight, and he seemed to have a big goose rooster in his heart.
Qi Lu pressed his heart and wished he could turn the flapping goose into a roast goose.
Seeing Qi Lu staring at him in a daze, the emperor couldn't help but chuckled, lowered his head, and whispered in Qi Lu's ear: "I can't live without the Taifu for a moment. How did the Taifu know?"
Qi Lu: "..."
When Qi Lu heard this, his "old face" suddenly burned, and he felt that he could spontaneously burn. Isn't this what he said to those nobles just now? It sounds sad and helpless, but inadvertently showed off his show-off. Taifu Qi is also a veteran of Versailles' literature. When those nobles heard this, their faces looked ugly like green slimes.
Qi Lu didn't know that the emperor was so clear that he could hear clearly. He was teased at this moment...
Lu Fu, the Duke of Qi, was hunting in Peiqiu, and the Shanrong people sneaked into Peiqiu. Lu Fu, the Duke of Qi, was injured and depressed, was quite backward in this era and was mostly witch doctors. Therefore, he died soon. Peiqiu was also occupied by the Shanrong people and became a stronghold for the Shanrong people to attack Qi.
Where is Peiqiu? Peiqiu is the "monetary hunting ground" of Qi State and has always been a place for the kings of Qi State to hunt. It can be imagined that in fact, this Peiqiu is not far from the capital of Qi State Linzi. Because of the convenient distance, it became the hunting ground for the nobles of Qi State.
The place Peiqiu is in modern times, but it is actually in Boxing. The capital of Qi is Linzi. It takes less than an hour to take a bus from Linzi to Boxing, about forty-five minutes.
The Shanrong people had occupied Peiqiu. In this way, it was obvious that the war in Qi was already tense. Although Qi was a powerful country in the world, the Peiqiu occupied by the Shanrong people was like a sharp blade hanging above the head of the capital Linzi. It could fall down at any time and penetrate directly into the heart of Qi!
It is precisely because of this that the emperor was so anxious that he immediately sent Duke Guo Jifu and General Zhu Dan of Huben as the vanguard to set out first and rushed to Peiqiu. Even if the Shanrong people would take advantage of the fact that the leader of Qi, they would advance Linzi. In any case, Linzi must be saved.
The emperor and his group set off quickly and rushed to Qi. However, the Central Plains was far away from Qi, and they had to pass through various countries along the way. Even if they were rushing, it would take a long time to delay.
On this day, the army had already reached the boundary of Song State, preparing to stay in Song State, replenish supplies, and then continue to set out toward Qi State.
Now, Duke Feng of Song, and Prince and Yi, heard that the emperor and Taifu Qi were coming, so they prepared early. According to the usual specifications, the emperor must prepare a drink for greetings. However, now that the war is in a hurry, there is no need for these too fancy things, so you can save as much as possible.
After Ji Lin entered the capital of Song State, he immediately convened a court meeting. All the nobles and officials gathered in the hall. Duke Zhou quickly walked in from the outside, holding a small lambskin in his hand, bowed and said, "Son of the Emperor, good news!"
Ji Lin immediately said, "Come on, come on."
The temple man presented the good news to Ji Lin. Ji Lin just glanced at it, and then showed a joyful expression on his face, saying, "Okay! Gong Guo and General Zhu did a good job, and did not disappoint me!"
Everyone circulated the documents of the war news. Although there were many rare words on it, Qi Lu could see it generally. It was the war news from the front line. Duke Guo Jifu and Zhu Dan rushed to Peiqiu. The people of Shanrong wanted to make a move and took advantage of the chaos in Qi to attack Linzi. The prince and Zhu Er were panicked and did not know what to do. Fortunately, Duke Guo and Zhu Dan arrived and the two armies confronted each other. The people of Shanrong just relied on the sneak attack, but were not the opponent of Duke Guo and Zhu Dan. They had soon retreated to the territory of Peiqiu and hid in the mountains of Peiqiu and did not come out.
Ji Lin's dispatch of troops disrupted the rhythm of the Shanrong people's attack. The Shanrong people's formation was already in chaos. They made a long journey to invade Qi. As long as they follow the steps later, the Shanrong people were not afraid of it.
When the officials heard the good news, they were all overjoyed and shouted: "I, Wang Yingming! The emperor is wise!"
Qi Lu thought for a while and said, "The emperor, the people of Shanrong are in chaos. Lu thought that they should take advantage of the victory and eliminate the roots."
When dealing with Shanrong people, Yu Yu is an expert, and the advice given by Yu Yu is also to eliminate roots without leaving any troubles. Shanrong people have already defeated Ji Lin three times, but each time they cannot be burned like weeds, which shows the importance of cutting weeds and roots.
"Just..." Zhou Gong frowned slightly on his shoulders and said, "Emperor, although the front line reports victory, our army is short of food and grass. If we want to fight Shanrong quickly, food and grass will definitely be a problem."
The food and grass needed by Duke Guo and Zhu Dan were sent continuously from the Luo army in the Central Plains. When fighting on the front line, the baggage was the most important. However, from the Central Plains to Peiqiu, the front line was too long and it was difficult to supply food and grass. If Duke Guo and Zhu Dan wanted to pursue the victory, they would need a larger amount of food and grass supply.
Zhou Gong Hei Yan has always been very careful in calculating, but even so, the food and grass cannot keep up with the consumption rate, so it is a bit difficult.
After hearing this, Song Duke Feng bowed and said, "My king, the Shanrong people invaded the Great Zhou, which made people angry and poisonous. As a citizen of the Great Zhou, Feng should share my worries with my king. My Song State is willing to donate food and grass to make supplies."
Song Duke Feng was originally a young master, and he was supported by Qi Lu and Ji Lin. Song Duke Feng was also a personal elite. He knew very well that his majesty had covered the entire Great Zhou Dynasty as today. At this time, if he could share the worries of the emperor, there would naturally be countless benefits in the future.
Ji Lin nodded and said, "Mr. Song has a heart, and I feel deeply comforted."
With food and grass, there is another question, which is who will transport food and grass.
Youyu immediately bowed and said, "Son of the Emperor, Youyou are willing to go!"
Yu was familiar with the combat techniques of the Shanrong people. If he was willing to transport food and grass to the front line, it would be better.
However, Qi Lu suddenly stood up and said, "The emperor, it may be inappropriate to send General Yu to transport food and grass. Although General Yu is familiar with the fighting style of the Shanrong people, because of this, the Shanrong people pay more attention to General Yu's movements. If you let General Yu transport food and grass, it is tantamount to exposing the food and grass to the Shanrong people."
The emperor nodded slightly. He thought so. When he and Qi Lu thought of the same place, they casually said: "Then Taifu Qi thinks that who should be sent to transport food and grass is the most appropriate?"
After Ji Lin finished speaking, he saw Qi Lu subconsciously tilting his head to the left. He didn't know what Qi Lu was looking at. Ji Lin followed Qi Lu's gaze and actually ran into Heihou's gaze. Heihou, who was the captain of the Hu Ben Army who was accompanying the guard, also participated in the court meeting.
