"After the merger, retain the names of each guard, collectively known as the Liaodong Army, and you will serve as the first commander of the new Liaodong Army, that is, the commander of the Liaodong Dusi." Zhu Huan said to Wu Qi: "After the construction of the new palace, the focus of our army will still be on Liaoyang, whether it is the tuntian of Liaoyang or the construction of the palace, you must pay attention." ”

For Wu Qi, he really delegated power to the point of unscrupulousness, all thanks to Zhu Huan's trust in Wu Qi.

Wu Qi nodded: "The ministers understand." ”

Zhu Huan stretched his waist and said: "Liaodong Town starts from Phoenix City in the east and reaches Shanhaiguan in the west, which is 1,950 miles long. One hundred and seven forts, twelve gates. It's impossible to swallow this big bun in one go, don't hurry, take your time, and beat Liaodong into an iron bucket little by little, if you let this king do it alone, you have to be tired to death, Wu Qi, you will have to work hard next. ”

"It is an honor for the minister to share the worries of the prince."

Scalding the hot pot, Zhu Huan suddenly remembered someone and asked, "Who is the commander of Guangning Zhongwei?" ”

"Returning to the prince, the commander of the Guangning Central Guard is named Pei Feibai, and the reason why this battle was able to absorb the Liaodong Army so smoothly is due to this person's contribution." Wu Qi replied.

"After this king lived in the Liao Wangfu in Guangning Mansion, he has not seen this Guangning Zhongwei commander."

"But the prince wants to see Pei Feibai?"

"Don't be in a hurry, do the immediate urgency first." Zhu Huan thought for a moment and asked, "Is Shanhaiwei Commander Lu Yu in Shanhaiguan or in Guangning now?" ”

"Back to the prince, Lu Yu is outside the palace, and he has always wanted to see you. However, after moving to Quang Ninh, the military affairs were busy, so he left this person idle. ”

"It's okay, now the busiest time has passed, this king wants to see him and settle the matter of Shanhaiguan."

"No."

……

The command of Shanhaiwei made Lu Yu enter the palace, and he was a little uneasy in his heart. He didn't know what his fate would be, but he was worried about whether the brothers of Shanhaiwei would be implicated because of him. It wasn't until he walked into the main courtyard that he saw Zhu Huan eating hot pot steadily, and Cao Xiu put the cut mutton slices into the copper pot, but his heart calmed down.

"Cao Xiu, bring a chair for General Lu." Zhu Huan glanced up at Lu Yu and said to Cao Xiu sideways.

"Don't dare to drive General Cao, just stand still."

Where did Lu Yu dare to ask Cao Xiu to move a chair for him, then Cao Xiu was the confidant of King Qi who was ranked among the Four Tigers of Qi, how old was he, how old was he, and he dared to let Qi Four Tigers wait?

"Well, then the king won't force it." Zhu Huan lifted the wine cup and took a sip.

After a long time, he slowly spoke: "This king crusaded against Yang and rebelled, recovered Liaodong, Shanhaiwei has meritorious service in this battle, and should be rewarded." ”

Lu Yu's heart tightened when he said this.

He is not from the Qi Wangfu, and this attack on Liaodong, Shanhaiwei is purely for revenge. Therefore, when it comes to meritorious deeds, it should not be talked about on the head of an outsider. And if Zhu Huan wants to give him a reward, it is forcing Shanhaiwei to merge into the Qi Palace.

However, Lü Yu was not interested in joining the Qi Palace, and he obeyed the orders left by General Xu to guard the Great Wall and prevent Hu Lu. It's just that this time, in order to take revenge, he even took Shanhaiwei into the water, and if he wanted to be neutral again, it would be difficult to climb to the sky, and the best choice was to find a backer. At present, the two highest mountains, one is the Qi Wangfu and the other is the Yan Wangfu.

Qi Wangfu is the most suitable backer, in this battle, Shanhaiwei and Qi Wangfu fought side by side, and they can be regarded as comrades-in-arms, and on the side of Yanwangfu, Shanhaiwei is not familiar at all.

Now that King Qi wants to throw an olive branch, it is a good thing, but Lu Yu's heart is still a little mustard.

"However, General Lu is already the commander of Shanhaiwei, and if he is promoted again, he will be promoted to the command of the capital." Zhu Huan changed his words and said: "General Lu has been sitting in Shanhaiguan for nearly 20 years, and he wants to come and have a deep relationship with the brothers of Shanhaiwei. ”

Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you for your understanding." ”

"But ......"

Zhu Huan's "but" made Lu Yu's heart rise to his throat again.

"If you have merit, you can't be rewarded, so this king will make his own decision and hang a Zhaoyong general to General Lu to the capital of Liaodong, I don't know what General Lu wants?" Zhu Huan said with a smile.

General Zhao Yong?

The loose rank of the third grade, that is, a false title, except for the military attache who can enjoy the third grade, but this official has no actual military power.

Lu Yu was a little puzzled by what tricks Zhu Huan was going to play.

"When you get wet, your shoes get wet, and when you get wet, you can't dry."

Zhu Huan squinted and smiled: "General Lu is a kind person, and he is not interested in being promoted and making a fortune, but he also has to worry about the brothers of Shanhaiwei." ”

Hanging a general Zhaoyong of the Liaodong capital is equivalent to hanging the seal of the Qi Wangfu, that is, nominally belonging to the Liaodong flag. In this way, Shanhaiguan has the protection of King Qi's mansion.

Lu Yu was reluctant to be incorporated into the Liaodong Army, but now that he had waded into the water, he had to find a backer. Zhu Huan's move is to give Lu Yu a step, not only does not have to become the king of Qi, but also can get Liaodong's help.

"Minister Lu Yu, thank you, Lord Wang!" Lu Yu clenched his fists in gratitude.

He thought that Zhu Huan's summons this time was to force him to merge into King Qi's mansion. However, what he didn't expect was that Zhu Huan was so lenient, just letting Shanhaiwei belong nominally, and did not force Lu Yu to become a direct subordinate.

And with the protection of King Qi's mansion, the benefits of Shanhaiguan are naturally self-evident.

"General Lu, don't be too happy." Zhu Huan chuckled and said, "In the future, Shanhaiguan will no longer be able to act indiscriminately." ”

"I understand." Lu Yu naturally understood his hints.

With the protection of King Qi's mansion, Shanhaiguan can't eat a general Zhaoyong for nothing. In the future, Qi Yan will fight with each other, and Shanhaiwei must stand on the side of King Qi's mansion.

Shanhaiguan is the handover zone of Qiyan, and the pressure in it is understood by Lu Yu.

"General Lu is a smart man, and this king admires you very much."

Zhu Huan wiped his mouth, stood up, and said: "If it were someone else, with the character of this king, he would have been too lazy to talk so much nonsense, either kill or merge." The reason why this king gave you a face this time is not to give you a commander, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers who have been guarding the border for so many years, I hope you can carry it clearly. ”

"I understand."

"It's good to understand, this king won't send you."

Zhu Huan turned around and left: "General Zhaoyong's edict will be delivered in these few days, and General Lu doesn't have to stay in Guangning, knowing that you miss the soldiers of Shanhaiguan, and the messenger of Dusi will be sent directly to Shanhaiguan at that time." ”

Lu Yu was silent, glad that he was on the right side this time.

King Qi is ruthless and cruel to his enemies, but he is extremely tolerant of his subordinates.

And this time, Lu Yu stood on the side of King Qi's mansion.
