New Bayi Chinese Network - A collection of online novel reading networks
Underground of Lanxue Hall.
In the secret room of the Qi family.
There is a hint of solemnity in the quiet atmosphere.
The three pillars of the Qi family's politics, military, and business sat down around the long table in the center of the secret room, and Lu Yunzhou sat among them, he silently glanced at the huge map on the wall, and then at the solemn expressions of Qi Min, Qi Jing and Qi Fang, and chose to remain silent for the time being.
After each of them sat down, Qi Min said in a deep voice: "Big brother, let's start!" ”
Qi Fang clenched his fists and looked at Qi Jing earnestly.
Qi Jing looked a little dazed in the eyes of the two, and after a long time, he smiled bitterly and said, "When the news came back, I couldn't believe it, but it's a pity...... This matter was really expected by Xiaoyu! ”
Qi Min's face twitched suddenly, his expression darkened, and his whole person suddenly became stiff.
Qi Fang exclaimed: "Big brother, is this true?" ”
Qi Jing nodded heavily, sighed, and said: "The situation is far more severe than imagined, fortunately I got a reminder from Xiaoyu, and the people I sent have inquired about this, it turns out that Chun Shenjun has been preparing for the destruction of Lu for many years, and since a few years ago, Chun Shenjun has already placed people in the Chulu border army, and began to secretly hoard grain and grass on the border, and sent a large number of spies to operate in the territory of Lu State, just afraid of ...... Chun Shenjun of the Chu State has also been aware of the situation of our Qi family in the Lu State......"
Qi Min and Qi Fang gasped, and even Lu Yunzhou couldn't help frowning, and worries surfaced in his heart.
The Qi family's conspiracy in the Lu country, it is absolutely impossible to leak the slightest secret, if the news that the Qi family wants to use the Lu country as a fulcrum to restore the country reaches Tian Dan's ears, I am afraid that the Qi family will really face the catastrophe of annihilation.
Qi Jing's face was heavy, his expression was lonely, and he sighed: "When the judgment continues, but suffer from the chaos, second brother, third brother, in order not to make Chun Shenjun suspicious, I have ordered most of the manpower of the Lu State to be transferred back to Southern Xinjiang one after another, the great ...... of the Chu State It is by no means something that our little Qi family can resist, and this matter in the miraculous prediction of the light rain also allowed my Qi family to escape a catastrophe and be able to withdraw in time, which is already a blessing! The restoration of the country...... Give it up for now! ”
The moment he said this, Qi Jing seemed to have become much older in an instant, Qi Min and Qi Fang were shocked, and they both fell into silence.
They all understand that this temporary abandonment means that they will miss out forever!
The national strength of the Lu State is weak, the national politics are corrupt and chaotic, and under the condition that the time and place are favorable, the people and the Qi family can take advantage of the weakness, but if the Chu State is replaced to control this land, the Qi family will definitely not have the strength to snatch food from the tiger's mouth!
This time, being able to retreat from the Lu country is already a blessing to the Qi family!
Lu Yunzhou breathed a sigh of relief, just because he had always seen it very clearly, although the Qi family was big, its strength was not enough to usurp Qi, it was not enough to establish a country, and the Qi family in the Qi country was far from covering the sky with one hand, and at this stage, it was absolutely not appropriate to arouse Tian Dan's suspicion and fear.
In fact, when he learned about the Qi family's plot in the Lu State in the past dynasties, Lu Yunzhou felt that this matter was unreliable, just because he understood that even if the Chu State never planned to destroy Lu, with the strength of the Qi family, even if it really established its own country, it was just a small country with weak strength and many hidden dangers!
The ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny. The Qi family does have an army, but it is only a few hundred thousand people, and the Southern Xinjiang Fire Ox Army is enough to deter the large and small forces in the Qi country, but in the entire number of Qi countries, it only accounts for one-sixth. And this 100,000 army is just a banner, and there are a large number of logistics personnel in it, among which the troops who can really fight are only 60,000 or 70,000!
The country established by an army of 100,000 people is not even a country of a thousand times, and it is not good to say, but it is only slightly stronger than the small Wei Guo and the Zhou State! For a large country with a million armor, a wave can drown such a small country.
At that time, the Zhongshan Kingdom, which was known as the country of a thousand times, was considered to be powerful, and even participated in the five kingdoms promoted by Gongsun Yan, but in the situation of a large number of big countries, it could only wait for destruction in despair in the cracks!
Moreover, after the end of the Battle of Fuqi, the army in southern Xinjiang for more than 20 years has been peaceful and peaceful, and the veterans who participated in the Battle of Fuqi have gradually retired from the army, and the recruits lack the experience of blood and fire.
More than 20 years have passed, and the 100,000 veterans of the Southern Xinjiang Army who have really seen the battlefield are afraid that they are less than one, and these remaining veterans, in the war of that year, were just small teenagers, but now they have become one of the few backbones of the Southern Xinjiang Army.
In such a situation, if a war breaks out suddenly, the outcome can be imagined.
Let's take a look at the steps that must be taken by the Qi family to restore the country.
First of all, the Qi family should cooperate with the outside world, and through the forces that have been operating and infiltrating the Lu State for many years, they quickly sent troops to control the entire territory of the Lu State. But there is a problem here, you must know that the Qi family controls and infiltrates the Lu State, and all of this is carried out in secret, that is to say, the Qi family actually has no public opinion base in the Lu State, and it is unpopular with the people. This led to the fact that in the process of occupying the Lu State, the Qi family would inevitably spend a lot of effort to stabilize the situation, and at least leave a lot of troops in the Lu State to suppress the situation.
Suppose that all this Qi family did it quickly before Qi Guo could react. In the next step, the Qi family will immediately divide their forces and use the same steps to master the long-infiltrated Chengyang Capital and Jimo Capital. But there is another problem in this: Chengyang and Jimodu, which are the five capitals of Qi, also have troops in the capital, and the number of troops in each capital, according to the unified establishment of the five capitals of Qi, is 50,000 people. These 50,000 people will never be the members of the Qi family.
Thinking about it, how could Tian Dan hand over such a large area of southern Xinjiang to the Qi family's army to control? Tiandan will inevitably make some arrangements, leaving the local army to play a basic role in monitoring and containing the Qijia army.
Jimodu, as the base camp of the Lai people, does not need to be mentioned, but under the containment and monitoring of the army in the capital, it is already a difficult thing for the Qi family to achieve deep penetration of Chengyang in more than 20 years of tireless operation. The infiltration of the military in the capital is definitely not something that can be done overnight.
At least Lu Yunzhou believes that the Qi family has not done it yet, otherwise the Qi family would have rebelled a long time ago!
Now let's assume that if the Qi family has secretly bought many middle and high-level generals of these two armies, it is sure that they can control these two armies without bloodshed, and before the Qi State reacts, they quickly grasp the Chengyang Capital and Jimo Capital, and incorporate the two armies in the capital, so as to truly achieve the goal of recovering the country.
Even if all of this goes as smoothly as expected, is it really enough to sustain it?
No, with this loose and cohesive force improvised at the time of the rebellion, it was not enough to resist the army mobilized by Tian Dan!
There are too many prerequisites for the Qi family to be far from being reached, which is also the fundamental reason why the Qi family has been delaying after secretly controlling the situation in the Lu country.
In the troubled times, everything must consider the overall situation, Lu Yunzhou has repeatedly deduced the entire process of the Qi family's restoration of the country, and in the end, he found that even if the Qi family is ready, and finally wants to successfully resist the fierce counterattack of the Qi army, there is only one possibility - to obtain the secret support of other powers!
Lu Yunzhou knew very well in his heart that once the Qi country had civil strife, other countries would inevitably take the opportunity to intervene, either fanning the flames or taking advantage of the fire to rob! At that time, perhaps other major powers will secretly support the Qi family to split the Qi country in order to weaken the power of the Qi country. This is the only hope for the restoration of the Qi family.
But is it really that easy?
Is it really possible for other countries to sponsor in friendship?
No, if other countries really participate, the two lands divided by Qi will only lose in a more fierce collision with each other, and finally end up being annexed by other countries!
At that time, Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Chu, which are adjacent to Qi, and even Qin and Han, which are not adjacent to each other, may all rush together and compete for a piece of the damaged land of Qi!
In the environment surrounded by wolves, the moment the land of Qi was divided, the general trend of the two divided lands going to extinction was already unstoppable. And the role played by the land of Lu in this process will not only not be beneficial to the Qi family, but may be a hidden danger that will erupt at any time.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if a small probability of one in 10,000 happens again, the Qi family really has been in such a complex situation, leaving and right externally, stabilizing the situation internally, and finally succeeding in stabilizing the situation, and making this brand-new country survive with great difficulty, which will take at least ten years of hard struggle!
Ten years, by that time, the Qin State had also completely regained its appetite, prepared the butcher's knife, sharpened the knife and invaded eastward.
And this is only to stabilize the situation, this new country is far from reaching the point where it can completely gain a foothold, obtain the final recognition of all countries, and can carry normal diplomacy. Its resources, population, and military strength are far from the point where it can intimidate everything by doing it alone!
After the Han, Zhao, and Wei families divided the Jin Kingdom, it took more than 50 years before they were recognized by Zhou Tianzi and officially listed them as princes.
And with the power of the Tian clan in Qi State, replacing the royal family surnamed Jiang and the Lu family, and realizing the goal of usurping the country, it took more than a hundred years and several generations of hard work to achieve!
If the Qi family wants to make their country completely stand on its feet, gain the final recognition of the international community, and even obtain the official recognition of the Zhou royal family, I am afraid that thirty or fifty years will not be enough.
Decade? Thirty years? Fifty years? A hundred years?
Even if the Qi family had divine help, they overcame all difficulties and finally established this brand-new country. Is there still so much time in this world to wait for the rise of this new country?
No, it is impossible to have more time for the Qi family in this world!
In this short process, when the Qi family fell into the quagmire of recovering the country and could not extricate themselves, the pattern of the Qin State sweeping Liuhe and dominating the world was already unstoppable!
Thirty-five years later, in 221 B.C., this world was already Qin's, and history had already turned a new chapter and ushered in a new era of great unification. The Qi family had gone to great lengths to successfully establish the country before the end of the world, so what was the point of all this?
In Lu Yunzhou's view, under the threat of strong Qin, without overwhelming strength, rashly establishing a small country with the strength of the Qi family alone is tantamount to playing with fire and self-immolation!
Of course, all these seemingly successful failures in the deduction have to be based on the premise that the Chu State did not do it, and there is an extremely small possibility of realizing it!
It's a pity that just this year, the state of Lu will be destroyed by Chu.
The Qi family has gone through several generations of operation and efforts in Lu State, and it has been in vain.
Today's Qi family has no hope of recovering the country.
Lu Yunzhou turned his head to look at his father, uncle and uncle, his mouth opened for a moment, and finally sighed secretly, deciding not to tell the truth about his deduction of the return of the family.
After all, there is no point in talking about this now, it will only make my father, uncle and uncle suffer more.
Lu Yunzhou also believes that there are some things, as the head of the Qi family, it is impossible for them to completely fail to think of them.
If they really didn't expect it, they were really so reckless, but they were afraid that the Qi family would not be able to wait until now, but would have hastily raised troops a long time ago.
The Qi family's secret room fell into silence, and after a long time, Qi Fang suddenly perked up, and looked at Lu Yunzhou with blazing eyes.
Lu Yunzhou was startled by Qi Fang's eyes.
Qi Fang suppressed his excitement and asked expectantly: "Xiaoyu, I heard the second brother say, you said that day, there is a way to redeem the affairs of the Lu country?" ”
Lu Yunzhou stretched out his hands helplessly and said: "Uncle, the secret of heaven must not be revealed, and there is no way to redeem it for the time being, but the little nephew does have a few suggestions for the family before he goes out." ”
