Since Wei Chi Jingde got the hint from Song Jingang, out of loyalty to Liu Wuzhou and the original promotion grace, Wei Chi Jingde has always been meticulous in his work, and this time is the same, so after a few days of planning, Wei Chi Jingde advanced to Xia County in the name of defending the Yellow River crossing by Liu Wuzhou's holy decree.

When the two brothers, Lü Chongmao and Lü Chongyue, heard that Liu Wuzhou had sent Wei Chi Jingde to garrison the Yellow River crossing, Lü Chongmao immediately instructed Lü Chongyue:

"Chongyue, this time Liu Wuzhou sent Wei Chi Jingde to garrison the Yellow River ferry, and the Yellow River ferry in our Xia County is not far away, for my brother, I'm afraid this is a weasel to give a New Year's greeting to the chicken, and there is no kindness! Moreover, at the beginning of Xia County, we all had contact with Wei Chi Jingde, this person is different from Song Jingang and Song Laiyi, and is a rare warrior and hero under Liu Wuzhou. When Yu Chi Jingde was in Xia County, Lu Chongyue had always been good friends with Yu Chi Jingde, and admired Yu Chi Jingde's martial arts and character very much, but now that Lu Chongmao has offended Song Laiyi, Lu Chongyue is naturally very careful:

"Yes! Eldest brother! I will be very careful, junior brother, in addition, I have already ordered the people in the city to step up their precautions in the name of preventing Li Tang's attack, except for our soldiers and horses, no soldiers and horses can enter the city. When Lu Chongmao heard Lu Chongyue's arrangement, he nodded a little relieved, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart. The eyes are always looking into the distance. Wei Chi Jingde led his troops to a place not far from Xia County.

"Report to the general, our army is only forty miles away from Xia County, please show the general! Whether our army entered the city or not. "Wei Chi Jingde has been thinking on the road: 'Although Xia County is a small county town, since Lu Chongmao became the king of Wei, Xia County has been strengthened in the name of defending Li Tang's soldiers and horses, and its city wall is no worse than that of Ma Yi, plus Lu Chongmao and Lu Chongyue brothers have a very high prestige in Xia County. And at the beginning, when Wei Chi Jingde was in Xia County, he received a lot of care from the two brothers Lu Chongmao and Lu Chongyue, and he still had a lot of friendships in private. Let Yu Chi Jingde attack Lu Chongmao and Lu Chongyue, Wei Chi Jingde can't bear it! Forget it, anyway, the emperor didn't make a clear decree, if others don't offend me, I won't offend people. Let's take a look first! Thinking of this, Wei Chi Jingde ordered:

"The whole army advances, does not enter the county seat, guards the march, and sets up camp ten miles from the county seat of Xia County."

"Yes!" The two brothers, Lu Chongmao and Lu Chongyue, had been observing Wei Chi Jingde's movements from the city tower.

"Big brother, you see, Wei Chi Jingde is still very defensive against us, you see, his army is walking in a strategic formation, and the whole army is on alert, hum! It seems that we are still thinking about the friendship we have only seen! Lu Chongmao nodded and said to Lu Chongyue:

"Since this Wei Chi Jingde talks about friendship so much, we can't be too ruthless, you look at the opportunity, go to Wei Chi Jingde's military camp as an old friend, remember, bring some wine and meat over, after all, we haven't torn our faces with Liu Wuzhou yet." Lu Chongyue nodded yes. A few days later, Lü Chongyue came to the military camp of Wei Chi Jingde with more than 100 cattle and sheep and dozens of jars of good wine.

"Brothers, do a good job, now this Tang Army is opposite us, brothers have to be careful! Fix the fortifications, and then we will shed less blood! "His own soldiers came up to report:

"General, the camp gate is coming, Lord Lu Chongyue of Xia County came to the labor army with cattle and sheep wine." As soon as Wei Chi Jingde heard about Lao Jun, he knew in his heart that Lu Chongyue was coming to hear the news. However, since it is to labor the army, wine and meat are indispensable, and if you don't eat it, you won't eat it for nothing.

"Good! Someone! Open the camp gate and welcome your guests! Wei Chi Jingde came to the door of the barracks:

"Oops! It's Chongyue brother! ”

"Brother Wei Chi, since the farewell of Xia County that year, I miss my little brother very much, and now Brother Wei Chi has returned to the vicinity of Xia County to set up defenses, little brother, I won't come to find my brother with cattle and sheep wine!" Lu Chongyue saw Wei Chi Jingde, he was very excited, at the beginning, when Yu Chi Jingde was stationed in Xia County, Lu Chongyue drank with Wei Chi Jingde, and what he said was also the truth, and Yu Chi Jingde was not perfunctory:

"Alright, let's go to my lord's general's tent and catch up on the old days! Walk! In the tent of the main general of Wei Chi Jingde, a fat roast whole sheep and fragrant beef soup were placed in front of Wei Chi Jingde and Lu Chongyue:

"Come, come, come! Chongyue brother, drink! ”

"Brother Wei Chi! Drink! Lu Chongyue and Yu Chi Jingde chatted while drinking, and Lu Chongyue told Yu Chi Jingde about Song Laiyi's frequent blackmail in Xia County by the way:

"Hey! Brother Wei Chi, you have been by the emperor's side, I don't know if there are any rumors about our Xia County? ”

"Oh! What kind of rumors does Brother Lu want to hear? ”

"Is that Song Jingang guy muttering something in the emperor's ear?"

"Oh! Not really! What's wrong? ”

"It's not Song Laiyi's guy who killed a thousand knives, it turns out that every time this guy comes to our Xia County, it's a lot of trouble, what bullying men and women, I don't know how much I have done to buy and sell, you just take the matter of returning to the salt shortage and say, our Xia County has a thousand catties of pig iron in exchange for five thousand catties of Jianghuai sea salt, it is Song Laiyi who is responsible for transportation, who knows that there is a shortage of catties and two catties, not to mention, in addition, there are thirty catties of Guanyin soil in each bag of sea salt, isn't this a fucking pit person? Forget about these, in order to resist Li Tang's attack, the emperor decreed that we should repair more armaments in Xia County, and we are short of soldiers and food, but this guy still comes to add fuel to the fire, how can there be no food! It must be those Diao people who are hiding, lord, is the knife in your hand rusty? Diao Min will kill his head if he doesn't pay food, kill a few more, isn't there food? As for the strong man? Capture all the remaining strong men, won't there be soldiers? Belch! Big brother, you said, if you kill all the people, isn't this strong man still enough, who will grow this food, and what will we eat when the time comes? Besides, everyone is a folk, who can do this! Lu Chongyue cried as he spoke, looking at a big man crying and wiping away tears, Wei Chi Jingde didn't know how to comfort Lu Chongyue:

"Brother Chongyue, the emperor is wise and martial, and he has always been biased and biased, maybe Song Laiyi really said something to you in front of Marshal Song, but the emperor didn't hear any rumors there, and it was only because of the news from Guanzhong, Li Tang's Li Yuanxiang took advantage of the Turkic infighting, and had no time to deal with the opportunity of the Central Plains to deal with our Mayi area, in addition, you didn't say that your weapons are shabby, and there is a serious shortage in the army, so the emperor asked me to come to the Yellow River crossing here to set up defenses, and also relieve some pressure on you."

"Ugh! You said that the Turks are infighting and have no time to deal with the Central Plains, so why did the emperor cede Dingxiang to the Turks!? And I heard that there was not some Yang Zhengdao in the north, who was deeply supported by the Khan of Lili? The emperor also sent envoys to worship, uh! Brother Wei Chi, do you say that the Yang family's world will recover at this time. As soon as he heard Lu Chongyue mention that Liu Wuzhou ceded Dingxiang to the Turks and sent an envoy to meet Yang Zhengdao, Wei Chi Jingde's face was not very good.

"Brother Chongyue, two people fight, ask outsiders to help, and give some benefits when the time comes, that is a common thing, as for the rest, what the emperor makes to decide, that is the emperor's mind, those of us who are courtiers, just obey orders." From Lu Chongyue's words, Wei Chi Jingde felt several meanings - first, Lu Chongmao and Lu Chongyue had been bullied many times by Song Jingang and Song Laiyi, and they were already dissatisfied in their hearts; Second, Song Jingang sent himself this time to ensure that it was not a plan to kill people with a knife, and Liu Wuzhou did not give himself a clear order, if he acted rashly, it would cause some chaos at that time, and I would go to the top of the tank, besides, as the saying goes, people don't offend me, I don't offend people, their Lu brothers don't send wine and meat to labor and management, and don't send gifts to people, why bother! has been a general for so many years, and Wei Chi Jingde still has a lot of twists and turns in his heart. And Lu Chongyue also realized from Wei Chi Jingde's tone that Wei Chi Jingde was dissatisfied with Liu Wuzhou's cession of land to the Turks, and in addition, this time Wei Chi Jingde passed through Xia County, mainly to deal with Li Tang, and had nothing to do with him. Chi Jingde and Lu Chongyue drank and talked at the same time, and before they knew it, they talked until dawn. Lü Chongyue returned to Xia County and reported to Lü Chongmao:

"Big brother, little brother, I have inquired clearly, this time Wei Chi Jingde came mainly for the general transfer of troops, mainly to guard against Li Tang's soldiers and horses, and only because of the news from Guanzhong, Li Tang's Li Yuanxiang took advantage of the Turkic infighting, and had no time to deal with the opportunity of the Central Plains to deal with our Mayi area, so he sent Wei Chi Jingde to the Yellow River crossing to garrison here." Looking at Lu Chongyue's expression, Lu Chongmao believed that Lu Chongyue did not tell a lie:

"Chongyue! Although Wei Chi Jingde hasn't attacked us yet, we can't take it lightly! Besides, you also think about it with your brain, if you and I are in Liu Wuzhou's position, naturally we will not allow such a country within a country to exist independently. Therefore, although they have not yet taken action against us, they must not relax their precautions, and tell our people that the city is strictly guarded, and the quartermasters of the German army who come to buy vegetables and spices must be closely monitored, and the people who enter and leave the city gate must be closely checked, and there must be no mistakes. ”

"Yes! Big brother, little brother understands! "As the days passed, Wei Chi Jingde and the soldiers and civilians of Xia County got along quite well. However, except for the quartermaster and the small traders in Xia County who were engaged in small trading in oil, sauce, vinegar and vegetables, Wei Chi Jingde and Lu Chongyue strictly ordered that the other party's secret agents should be strictly investigated and that there should be no conflict with the other party. After the two sides were peaceful for a period of time, an unexpected incident caused tension between the two brothers Lu Chongmao and Wei Chi Jingde, and also caused Lu Chongmao and Xia County to fall into a catastrophe.
