Chapter 150

"That's it." Li Changding shook his head and said, "No matter how much you say, it's just speculation. Let's get ready to leave for the capital. ”

"Zhou Yu has decided to go to the capital?" Duanmu Cong was stunned for a while, and then asked. "Master, do you really think that Ling Xiao is sincere in asking Zhou Yu to inherit the throne of King Qi?"

"Zhou Yu and I discussed it all night yesterday, and we both felt that no matter whether Ling Xiao's move was true or not, this trip to the capital was a must. It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. Tell the disciples to prepare with both hands, if Ling Xiao has bad intentions, then protect Zhou Yu, escape out of the city, and scatter the world from then on, waiting to move. If he really intends to support Zhou Yu, it will naturally be better. ”

When the matter was decided, Duanmu Cong's expression calmed down, and he said lightly: "So far, it has to be like this." ”

So, Zhou Yu took Li Changding and Duanmu Cong, as well as a few cronies, and went on the road with Zhou Yu and the sergeants who came to greet him, and rushed to the capital of Qi State. At the same time, Li Changding asked Duanmu Cong to send some disciples of Ji Shizong, dressed in disguise, to the capital and lurk secretly, just in case.

As a result, it turned out that Duanmu Cong had a bit of a villain's heart. Ling Xiao really gave up the power of Qi State without hesitation!

Not only that, Ling Xiao paved the way for Zhou Yu long before he came to the capital, handing over some important civil affairs in the court to Zhou Yu's former ministry. Previously, because of Zhou Yu's relationship, they were all deposed by the King of Qi, and they were lowly and small, so they escaped the killing of Hong Lei and Gao Chong.

This entire Qi country can be said to be the country that the two people of Qi, Hong Anyi, and Zhou Yu fought together, and Zhou Yu's merits may be even higher. Yes, Zhou Yu ascended the throne as the king, and no one in the Qi country would criticize.

Of course, those who support Ling Xiao are naturally very disappointed in their hearts, after all, the dragon is gone. However, these Ling Xiao have already been dealt with.

In the face of Ling Xiao's gracious concessions, Zhou Yu naturally shirked again and again, saying that he was humble and talented, and General Ling's talent and virtue were even higher than his own, and it should be General Ling's superiority.

It's a pity that Ling Xiao was determined to ask Zhou Yu to take the position, sent Gao Yao, persuaded him repeatedly, and even invited some old and important ministers in the court to take turns to fight, and kept admonishing, but unfortunately Zhou Yu still refused.

After thinking about it, Ling Xiao knew why Zhou Yu didn't accept it. So he simply handed over the captured forbidden army to Zhou Yu and asked him to reorganize.

At the beginning, he dealt with the black sheep in the forbidden army, and after drawing another 20,000 goodness, he ignored the prisoners of the forbidden army, in fact, he was waiting for Zhou Yu to take them in.

In the face of Ling Xiao's move, Zhou Yu gladly accepted under Li Changding's persuasion, and began to recruit and promote various old departments, and placed them in the forbidden army, and even named Duanmu Cong as the leader of the forbidden army.

has been degraded in Taigu County for more than ten years, and what can really make Zhou Yu completely trust and rest assured is the people who have followed him all these years. Those old departments, who have not seen each other for many years, have been separated by some distance after all, and they dare not believe it easily. After all, the human heart is fickle.

After completely controlling the forbidden army, Ling Xiao asked people to persuade Zhou Yu to ascend the throne, Zhou Yu resigned several times, and finally agreed to ascend the throne and control the Qi country.

On the day of Zhou Yu's accession to the throne, Dingyuan Taihe, ascended the altar to worship the sky, announced to the world, and on the same day, Ling Xiao was named a false king, and was named the generalissimo, commanding all the soldiers and horses of Qi except for the forbidden army.

Zhou Yu ascended the throne and reigned in the Qi Kingdom, as soon as this incident came out, the world shook!

Everyone didn't expect that Ling Xiao would really give up the country to others! Even Sima Du, who had expected it in advance, was also surprised, after all, it was just a guess before, but now that the matter was approaching, he knew that this Ling Xiao, but he was in his twenties, and he was young, but he really had the courage to refuse the temptation of the throne!

At this time, it was his turn to have a headache.

If Ling Xiao ascended the throne as the king of Qi, Sima Du didn't care, just because he had only been in Qi for a few years, his foundation was shallow, he could control 600,000 border troops, and it was not easy to govern Longcheng in an orderly manner.

Because Ling Xiao really had only 600,000 border troops available, and the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops were under his command, he didn't have so many trustworthy generals to command, not to mention those local armies.

Moreover, the 600,000 border troops in Ling Xiao's hands had to guard the frontier and pacify the place, plus some mountain bandits and grass bandits, in less than seven or eight years, Qi State would never have the time and energy to send troops to attack other countries.

What's more, Ling Xiao is in urgent need of talents who can govern government affairs! If you want to promote from scratch and cultivate corresponding talents, it will take at least three or four years!

In this way, Sima Du could naturally unify the south without hurry, and finally unify the north with the south, doing something unprecedented in ancient times.

Now it's good! Zhou Yu ascended the throne as the king of Qi, and there were too many talents available to him. Although most of them were reckless in the people at this time, or were small officials with knives and pens, these people were his old subordinates, and he knew them very well and used them very easily. With Ling Xiao's assistance, it's like a tiger with wings!

At this moment, Sima Du is no longer thinking about unifying the north with the south, but how to increase his strength as soon as possible, so as not to lose the Liang State when the army of Qi State presses the border!

Since ancient times, there have always been many reasons why the north has been unified with the south, and there is no south with the north, and one of the most important factors is: population!

There are more people in the north and fewer people in the south.

The history of this world is similar to the Celestial Empire in Li Changding's previous life in many places. In ancient times, the northern region was the essence of the Central Plains and was densely populated. Just look at the previous Ming Dynasty, since the previous dynasties, except for the Eastern Wu, Southern Song Dynasty, Southern Jin Dynasty, etc., such "disabled people", all the countries of the great unified dynasty are located in the north, you can think about it.

It was only because of the two southern crossings of the Jin Dynasty and the Song Dynasty that a large number of refugees came to the south and increased the population of the south, which made Zhu Yuanzhang the only time in history that he unified the north with the south and set the capital in Nanjing.

And the population is a thing, it is easy to reduce, but it is extremely difficult to increase, especially in the ancient period when the productive forces were extremely backward, that is, no matter how hard the people in power worked, it would take at least dozens or hundreds of years of operation!

Therefore, a person who thinks highly of himself like Sima Du also seems helpless.

"This Ling Xiao would really make such a choice. It's unbelievable! In the end, Sima Du could only say so lightly.

The same shock and doubt also appear in the minds of many people, many people don't understand Ling Xiao, why is this so?

Only three people know about this mystery.

On the night of Zhou Yu's accession to the throne, in the dead of night, on the outskirts of the capital of Qi State, the forest was deep and dense, silent, and uninhabited for hundreds of miles.

That night, the sky was full of dark clouds, covering the bright moon, and the earth was pitch black, but the two people who met were both advanced cultivators, and they had reached the realm of white in the void, and the dark night could not block their sight, and they both recognized each other at a glance, it was the person they were looking for.

A Tsing Yi shirt, simple and clean, upright, cold and plain, with his hands on his back, although he stands quietly, he is like an invincible commander who leads ten thousand armies.

Another Dao crown yellow robe, fairy wind bones, white beard and hair, crane hair and childish face, with a kind smile on his face, as if a compassionate and compassionate fairy descended to the mortal dust, and the fairy spirit was fluttering.

If there are important ministers in the court here, they will definitely exclaim, because one of these two people is Ling Xiao, the fake king of Qi State, who is high and powerful, and the other is Yuxiao Zhenren, the most valued strategist around Zhou Yu, the king of Qi, who is regarded as the humerus by the king of Qi and is very important.

Why did these two meet secretly here?

"What you want, I've given it to you. Did you bring what I wanted? Ling Xiao stood still, staring at Li Changding coldly with a pair of handsome eyes, and said lightly.

"The effect of the Xuanhuang Yiqi Pill is really good, but in just a few years, you have come from scratch to this step." Li Changding looked at Ling Xiao's luck and smiled with satisfaction.

At the beginning, he helped Liu Papi refine Xuanhuang Yiqi Dan, but in the end he was stolen by Liu Papi, but unfortunately he didn't know the specific way to take the Dan, after taking a pill in a hurry, although he was relieved of the symptoms on his body, but his luck declined sharply, but in a few days, he was arrested and imprisoned, and finally Ling Chi was executed, and his family property was confiscated.

Because of the elixir, the stakes are very high, and only Liu Papi and his uncle, as well as a few henchmen, know. After the deed was completed, these henchmen were naturally killed by them. So by the time Liu Papi was killed, no one knew that there was an elixir in his house.

When raiding the house, some people who didn't know the goods searched out the bottles of Xuanhuang Yiqi Pill, which were only regarded as rare jewelry, and they didn't care about it, and they were placed in the jade bottle as they were, and they were included in the palace at that time.

This time back in the martial arts world, Li Changding traveled abroad, preached for several years, and once when he passed by the palace, he happened to encounter a warlord who was in rebellion and wanted to kill the emperor who was only a few years old.

Seeing this, Li Changding's heart moved, saved the last emperor who had lost all his dragon energy, erased his memory, threw it into Panlong Valley, and handed it over to his disciples to raise and teach, and at the same time took away the bottles of Xuanhuang Yiqi Pill that belonged to him.
