Chapter 626: A Strategy to Break the Impasse
"Didn't you also confer a title on Concubine Rou's niece?" Xie Jingchi said nonchalantly.
"Bang!" Emperor Qianwu threw the inkstone away: "Get out!"
Xie Jingchi dodged sideways and walked away without looking back.

After Xie Jingchi left, Wang Xi and other eunuchs, palace maids and guards all returned to the palace.
Seeing another broken inkstone on the ground, Wang Xi's eyelids jumped, thinking that only this Lord Xie always made His Majesty very angry, but yet he became more and more favored.
"Your Majesty, please eat something." Wang Xi tactfully asked someone to serve the food.
Emperor Qianwu had no appetite.
He said in a deep voice: "Wang Xi, tell me, what else does Lu Xiao want?"
Now he has fame, wealth and power. What else can he not be satisfied with?
When asked this question, Wang Xi's heart tightened, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, I don't understand these things. I just thought that people's desires may be endless sometimes, and they don't necessarily have to want something."
Emperor Qianwu remained silent, apparently having not yet made a decision on how to deal with the Lu family.
After a while, he sighed.
"Jingchi still understands me best!"
Although Xie Jingchi forced him to deal with Lu Xiao, he did not kill him completely. Instead, he wanted to squeeze out the last bit of value of the Lu family, which gave him room to maneuver and gave the Lu family a chance to redeem themselves for their crimes.
But back then, the Battle of Lushan...
Emperor Qianwu lowered his eyes to hide the violence in them. The Lu family really disappointed him!
Doing such a thing right under his nose is tantamount to slapping him in the face!

Morning continues.
The ministers had different thoughts, but Xiao Heyu seemed absent-minded. He was thinking about how to convince his father.
Then Emperor Qianwu asked in a deep voice: "Where is Zhao Qi?"
Mr. Zhao took a step forward and said loudly, "I am here!"
"I will send you to Yancheng to fight against Luo State and serve as the main general in this battle. Are you confident?" Emperor Qianwu had obviously made a decision.
Zhao Qi's eyes were filled with excitement: "I am willing to go and live up to your majesty's trust!"
Emperor Qianwu was satisfied: "Good!"
"I allow you to bring 10,000 personal soldiers with you, and I will dispatch another 30,000 garrison troops from the Longxiong Army to accompany you all the way to Yancheng!"
"Yes!"
"Your Majesty, this is not possible! The Longxiong Army is the garrison of the capital..."
The so-called morning court did not end until the sun set. In the end, Zhao Qi was promoted to General Zixiao and rushed to Yancheng as the chief general. At the same time, Emperor Qianwu personally appointed three deputy generals to accompany him.
In addition, he sent inspectors, supervisory censors and others to thoroughly investigate the case of the Lu family drawing empty salaries.
The fate of the Lu family and the Third Prince’s party remains undecided.
After the court was dismissed, people were in panic, and Emperor Qianwu kept a few ministers in the study to discuss matters.
Shen Shuyi waited in Xie's house for a long time until Xie Jingchi returned.
When Xie Jingchi saw Shen Shuyi from afar, he was stunned for a moment, then he smiled.
"Please come in, County Lady." Xie Jingchi led the way.
After having some food prepared, he dismissed everyone and invited Shen Shuyi to dine together.
Shen Shu felt that he was working hard, so he didn't mind the details. After working a little less, he waited for him on the side.
After Xie Jingchi finished his meal and cleaned his mouth, she asked, "Your Majesty appointed my grandfather as the General of Zixiao and gave him 40,000 soldiers to go to Yancheng with him?"
"Yes." Xie Jingchi nodded: "In addition, exchange 20,000 troops from the Xuan Ce Army with the nearby Jin Ge Army and Bi Shui Army."
Shen Shuyi took out a miniature map of the Daqian territory from her sleeve and was about to open it when she saw Xie Jingchi looking at her and smiling.
Although the man still had a piece of fine cloth wrapped around his head, his face was really handsome, and his long and narrow eyes were sharp and seductive.
"What are you laughing at?" Shen Shuyi asked.
"Come to my study." Xie Jingchi said.
Shen Shuyi came back to her senses and wondered if he was laughing at her, a girl in the boudoir, for carrying a map of Daqian's territory with her?
who cares.
Shen Shuyi stood in Xie Jingchi's study and saw that he had hung a huge map of the territory of Daqian. It not only depicted every mountain, river and channel of Daqian in detail, but also the geographical conditions and landforms of the surrounding countries.
"Thank you, sir, for having such a good thing." Shen Shuyi's eyes lit up.
You know, at this time, even a territorial map is extremely difficult to obtain, let alone such a detailed one.
"The Jin Ge Army is stationed in Qingcheng, bordering Xiling, and the Bi Shui Army is stationed in Yucheng, bordering Jin State. We will transfer 20,000 soldiers from the Jin Ge Army and the Bi Shui Army to Yancheng, and transfer 40,000 soldiers from the Xuan Ce Army to Xiling and Jin State."
After Xie Jingchi's explanation, Shen Shuyi understood: "Is Yancheng far from Xiling and Jin State?"
"The army will arrive in two days, or three at most."
Shen Shuyi nodded: "This won't have much impact on the war, but it will be extremely powerful for my grandfather."
After all, most of the Xuan Ce Army are Lu family's trusted confidants. Although the Jin Ge Army and the Bi Shui Army will have more or less dealings with the Lu family, they are still different from the trusted troops.
In this way, the Lu family army will be divided, and it will be much easier for my grandfather to command the Xuan Ce army.
"In addition, I suggest to His Majesty that you send Lu Xiao to lead an army to attack Xiling, and Lu Zhuo to lead an army to attack the State of Jin." A calculating look flashed in Xie Jingchi's eyes.
"Ah?" Shen Shuyi didn't react for a moment and subconsciously looked at the territory map.
The next moment, her eyes lit up.
"Thank you, sir, for this brilliant idea!"
The Lu family and Xiao Heyu secretly colluded with the Luo State, so over the years, the Lu family had almost never been defeated when dealing with the Luo State.
If the Lu family is allowed to deal with the Luo State again, they will definitely be unstoppable. Since the Lu family is so powerful, let them take people to attack Xiling and Jin State.
In this case, the Lu family had no choice but to fight desperately, and they had to use their utmost ability.
After all, it is interesting that they can win every battle against powerful countries like Luo, but they suffer successive defeats against Xiling and Jin.
But as long as they attack Xiling and Jin State desperately, Luo State will send troops to Xiling and Jin State. Whether it is to provide support or attack, it will undoubtedly disperse the pressure on my grandfather and Yancheng!
"Master Xie is mixing up several strategies, such as using a knife to kill someone, waiting for the enemy to tire out, and surrounding Wei to save Zhao. If the Lu family knew what Master Xie was planning, they would be furious!"
Shen Shuyi was generous in his praise. In this way, not only would the Lu family army be divided and Lu Xiao's power be weakened, but the last bit of value of the Lu family would also be squeezed out, forcing them to risk their lives and attack Xiling and Jin in order to redeem themselves from their crimes.
In addition, my grandfather's situation in Yancheng was also alleviated, which not only greatly weakened the military strength of the Luo State, but also helped my grandfather to incorporate the Lu family's army.
"If Sir Xie knew martial arts, he should be a general!" Shen Shuyi couldn't help but speak.
His strategy was completely different from that of his brother. His brother's plan was to short-sell the State of Luo, causing all industries in the country to decline and people's lives to become difficult. In the next few years, the country would be unable to fight again and could only recuperate.
However, Xie Jingchi's plan was to break the situation of the battle from another angle.
