When the news of Lu Qi's plan to conquer Runzhou came back, Xu Jingye sighed: It's really heaven that helps me. Wei Siwen on the side felt the pressure and thought: He is the military advisor, if he is favored by Lu, where will he be placed.

Xu Jingye instructed left and right: "General Xue and Sima Gongzi will return to Yangzhou tomorrow, and we will discuss how to deal with Li Xiaoyi together." Now go and carry ten thousand taels of gold and countless treasures to the residence of Prince Sima, and reward him and his wife. ”

So, his subordinates carried a few boxes of treasures and gold to Sima Xianglu's residence, and Ling'er was dumbfounded when she saw it, thinking: Why are there so many treasures.

The next day, Xue Zhang returned to the city in triumph, while Xiang Lu secretly returned to his residence in Yangzhou without revealing his whereabouts too much.

As soon as Ling'er saw Xiang Lu coming back, she got up and said, "Husband, you're back, Ling'er is worried about you." ”

Xiang Lu said calmly: "What is the danger of attacking Runzhou, Madam filtered." Let Mrs. worry for so long, Xiang Lu really felt embarrassed. ”

Ling'er smiled and said, "Husband, you see, the Metropolitan Governor has rewarded you with so many things. ”

Xiang Lu looked at the treasures in front of him, smiled, and said, "Madam, these things can't be put in our hands, wait for me to change them into real things, and just leave some treasures by your side." ”

"Swap it for what?"

"If you buy a lot of land cheaply with these jewels, then once the war is put down, I won't be one of the top landlords in the country."

Ling'er said worriedly: "Husband, it is estimated that you and I were beheaded by the Queen Mother at that time." ”

Xiang Lu hugged Ling'er and said, "Madam, I have my own clever plan, and I will never be affected by Xu Jingye." ”

Ling'er looked at Xiang Lu's mature chest, and believed in Xiang Lu's ability very much in her heart.

So, in the next few days, Xiang Lu bought a large area of Yangzhou land, and became the richest big landlord in Yangzhou, but in the eyes of others, the land in the war can be worth a few dollars, the crops do not grow for a few years, and the land is barren.

At this time, Li Xiaoyi finally led his army to Gaoyou, preparing to recover Chuzhou first, and then take Jiangdu directly, and finally destroy Xu Jingye.

However, unfortunately, Li Xiaoyi lost the first battle and was drinking in the barracks.

Suddenly, someone from outside came to report: "General, there is a person from Yangzhou who said that there is a letter to be handed over to the general." ”

Li Xiaoyi ordered someone to bring the letter and asked the person who delivered the letter to rest in the barracks.

Li Xiaoyi opened the letter and saw that it read:

General Li, the villain Sima Xianglu, was tied up by Xu Jingye to Yangzhou, and had to work for him, and now he offers a plan to help the general exterminate the rebels. Xu Jingye has elite troops in Xia'a, and the general's attack may cost a lot of troops. Xu Jingyou is different, he is a gambler, he does not know soldiers, and his troops are weak, if the general attacks him, it will definitely make the rebels disheartened. Then the general will fight Xu Jingye to the death, and at that time, the battle will definitely be broken. Xia Axi is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the general must not attack, now the northwest wind is blowing, if the wind is favorable, I am afraid that the general already has a good plan in his heart. Sima saluted Lu.

Li Xiaoyi put down the letter and said with a smile: "Sima's letter to Lu is good!" He turned out to be held hostage. ”

"General, don't fall for his tricks."

"Yes, General, if it were his plan, we would probably lose a lot."

Wen Jun came in from outside, and when she saw that the generals were arguing, she asked, "What's the matter?" Is there any news from Yangzhou? ”

Li Xiaoyi knew that she was the queen mother's eyeliner, so she didn't dare to hide it, so she handed the letter to Wen Jun, Wen Jun took it, and when she saw it, it turned out to be Xiang Lu's handwritten letter, thinking: The husband was really arrested by Xu Jingye, and he sent the secret letter to clear his name of rebellion.

Wen Jun said categorically: "Just do what Sima Gongzi said." ”

Li Xiaoyi wanted to refute, but Wen Jun immediately added: "The Queen of Heaven sent me to supervise the army, I will bear the fault." ”

It's really a blind cat that hit a dead mouse, I'm afraid this skill is Wenjun's, and I can't run.

And what Wen Jun was thinking about was how to save Xiang Lu: now that there is a letter as proof, if Xu Jingye is killed, the Queen Mother will not punish Xiang Lu, and when the time comes, she will be able to return to Chengdu with Xiang Lu to live her own life.
