As his name suggests, Xia Luqi was originally a native of Qingzhou and a genius from Qilu. However, according to historical records, he should be a famous general who served in the Later Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties.

But Li Tianqu also remembered clearly that Xia Luqi had indeed joined the Liang Kingdom in his early years, and that was to join the army in Xuanwu Army. However, because he was disagreeing with the commander general, he became enemies in the army and then ran away and defected to Hedong. However, now, whether it is the Ziqing Army Qingzhou Army or the Xuanwu Army Bianjing Army, they are already under the territory of their own forces. It is indeed reasonable that Xia Luqi came to join.

According to the original trajectory, Xia Luqi should have been promoted to the commander of the escort of the Jin army. In the battle to attack Youzhou, Yan State, he used his best ability to fight with the most brave Yuan Xingqin and Shan Tinggui, the most brave generals of the Yan army, without falling behind. The fierce battle also made the soldiers of both armies amazed and made a name for themselves in the Jin army... However, according to historical records and current time calculations, it was all more than ten years later. It can be seen that after he changed to Jin State, his career was not smooth.

However, after Li Cunxu ascended the throne of King Jin, he was ambushed by Zhi General Liu Xiu in a war. Xia Luqi held a gun and sword and sacrificed his life to protect his master. He fought fiercely for two or three hours, killing more than a hundred enemy generals and soldiers, which made him scarred all over his body, which also attracted Li Cunxu's attention.

Li Tianqu also clearly remembered that Xia Luqi not only made great contributions to rescue the emperor. According to historical records, Wang Yanzhang, who was the last barrier of the Houliang, was also captured alive by him.

However, Xia Luqi, who was in his prime and his military morale, faced Wang Yanzhang, who was already in his sixties and only led hundreds of new recruits. That battle example could not fully reflect the two of them discussing which one is better and who is lower in terms of martial arts.

Even Xia Luqi once boasted in the Jin army that "The king's iron gun is like a mustard seed, and I know it best and there is nothing to be afraid of." However, it also belongs to the two armies' scolding that the two armies refused to give in to each other, in response to Wang Yanzhang's insult to his lord Li Cunxu's words, "Li Yazi is a boy fighting a cock, what's the fear?"

According to historical records, Xia Luqi had already known each other before he rebelled and fled from Xuanwu Army. Because when Wang Yanzhang was defeated and captured, he saw that Xia Luqi was coming to take him, so he sighed that it was an old friend who came, but when he met again, they were each their masters, and they had to fight to the death. In theory, their previous relationship should not be as close as possible.

However, many changes have occurred in the current affairs and the fate of many people. Xia Luqi is not the Liang Kingdom. According to reports, Wang Yanzhang deliberately wanted to cultivate him deliberately, and Xia Luqi must have no reason to deviate from the reason...

Li Tianqu thought that he might as well let him hone his skills under Wang Yanzhang for a while, and when he accumulates some military achievements, he will naturally summon and give him more titles and appease him. Since Xia Luqi turned to the Li family in Hedong according to his original trajectory and was loyal until the extermination of the Former Shu regime and occupied the two rivers. Meng Zhixiang, who intends to establish himself in the Later Shu, was defeated because his subordinates turned against each other and had to commit suicide. It seems that with his nature, as long as he pays enough attention, Xia Luqi should also devote allegiance and do his best.

The opportunity to win military achievements for Shaluqi will soon arrive.

Because Li Tianqu reached a consensus with King Jian of Shu and King Li Keyong of Jin, he agreed that the time for jointly raising troops to attack Liang State from three directions was approaching.

"Gao Jichang was located in the seven states of the east road of Shannan. His military commands included Ni Kefu, Bao Tang, Liang Zhen, and Sikongxun. Although he had 100,000 troops, our dynasty severely defeated Zhu Wen and took advantage of the situation to seize several towns. Although Gao Jichang was a Liang minister, he only guarded the prefectures under his jurisdiction and did not dare to take the initiative to attack.

Now that I am expanding my territory to the south, the East Road of Shannan is bound to be won. Gao Jichang is a human nature... I know a little bit. Now the Liang Dynasty cannot control the Central Plains, and he occupied the land of Jingxiang. I believe he has the intention of claiming to be the king. Therefore, although he is a minister of Liang, he dare not provoke our dynasty, but it is unlikely that he will be shocked to surrender to him at present..."

South of the Daqing Hall of the Imperial City of Bianjing, in the hall where the military aircraft were discussed, Li Tianqu and several generals from the Jingji area held military discussions to discuss the plan to annex Shannan East Road in the south.

According to the news from the south, Shandong East Road was originally the hardest hit area for Qin Zongquan to plunder and poison. After several changes to the owners of Liu Jurong, Zhao Kuangning and Zhu Wen, they were also devastated by war. The cities and towns in various places were incomplete, the villages and villages were withered, and the people were devastated. However, after Gao Jichang was transferred to the office under the order of Zhu Wenjun, he could also appease the soldiers, develop farmers and merchants, attract displaced people, return to their hometowns and restore their old business, and manage the people's livelihood gradually improves under the rule. It is said that Zhu Wen was also very satisfied with this.

Of course, Li Tianqu also knew that although Gao Jichang had a bit of a rogue habit, he had always been a survival of the fittest in such a time and in troubled times. He could still control his own side and even become a figure who had separatist regime and founded the founding monarch according to his original trajectory. He would inevitably have outstanding abilities in some aspects.

But if you fight early and late, you will eventually fight. Under the rule of Shandong East Road, the territory includes the north of the Gaoguan River in Hubei, southwest Henan and eastern Chongqing, and the territory is also very wide. Moreover, compared with other border forces, Gao Jichang is relatively the best to fight, and the most suitable one is now.

What's more, the annexation of the entire territory of Xiashan South East Road, and further south are Jingnan Chengxian, Chu State Ma Yin and other separatist regimes. Compared to the previous dealing with powerful forces such as Zhu Wen and Li Keyong in the north, the difficulty of dealing with them will suddenly be much lower.

Gao Jichang also had the ambition to be king, and it should be relatively easy to shock him to pay tribute and surrender; but if he was asked to hand over his territory under his rule, accept the appointment and transfer it to another place and give up the power to separatist the party, Gao Jichang would inevitably try to resist with a lucky mentality.

Li Tianqu has never had the plan to first coerce Gao Jichang to surrender his territories like the King of Zhao Wang Rong, and Wei Bojun's father and son of Luo family. According to historical records, Gao Jichang was only after the Later Tang destroyed the Later Liang Dynasty, and was almost detained in Luoyang. Later, he escaped. This guy dared to speak to his former colleague who surrendered to the Later Tang Dynasty and said, "There are two mistakes in this trip: I went to worship, and the Emperor of Tang was two mistakes in releasing me."...

Moreover, if Gao Jichang, a subordinate vassal state, would inevitably be troubled in the future. He intercepted other countries' tribute treasures and kept asking for territory from the sect leader. If he didn't give me any trouble, he would cause trouble. He would raise troops to attack? It's not impossible. In the official history, Emperor Mingzong of Tang was so angry that he sent troops to conquer, but Gao Jichang turned his hands and surrendered to the Wu Kingdom again. Therefore, keeping Gao Laizi's own side would eventually lead to trouble.

Li Tianqu just thought about it, and then said:

"This time, the campaign against Gao Jichang was led by Yan Zhang, with Fu Cunshen, Gao Siji led 100,000 troops, and Xu Si army Zhang Guiba sent troops to work together from the east to attack Deng, Tang, Sui and other prefectures. He held the power of life and death, and Gao Jichang wanted to be the local emperor and the king of grass, and he would not surrender easily.

I don’t want Gao Jichang’s title of tribute to the people, and I have to force him to give up his territory and give up his military power. Therefore, I must beat him to the point of being hurt and scared. Let Gao Jichang understand that there is no other way to go except to surrender.”

As he was talking, Li Tianqu turned his head and looked at Wang Yanzhang, and another smile appeared on his face:

"If you lead the troops outside, you must make decisions with Fu Cunshen. The Long Xiang, Tiger Wing, Leopard Tao and even the rest of the front office of the palace will be supplemented. If you have any talented people in the army, you can arrange and dispatch them. You can also take advantage of this war to hone your skills."

When Wang Yanzhang heard this, he smiled knowingly:

"Your Majesty already knows that I have competed with the new recruit? I have not been in the army for a long time. I have only appointed him as a cavalry army in the Huyi Army. But Your Majesty also knows the name of Xia Luqi. It is his fate! Now, after the order to conquer Gao Jichang in Jingxiang, I will definitely do my best to be loyal and live up to Your Majesty's high expectations!"
