Chapter 433: Zheng Guo sues for peace
Is it the protagonist for yourself?
Is it considered a child of destiny?
Lu Yuan only thought about these two questions for a moment, and then put them behind.
It doesn't matter what the protagonist is, what the child of destiny is, these things are all false.
For him, being able to get the benefits in his hands is the truth.
Just like Lu Yuan's continuous northern expedition, in addition to looking for a place to survive, isn't the biggest motivation to gather his luck and then cultivate immortals for himself?
Today, almost half of this purpose has been accomplished.
Most of Qingzhou and half of Yuzhou have been handed down, and they have already occupied half of Zhongzhou.
And the remaining half is also attacking at a very fast speed.
These are the realities.
As for luck, how much influence this illusory thing has in it, no one can say clearly.
Yes, although Lu Yuan himself had cultivated the method of Qi Luck, he still didn't know much about the conceptual illusion of Qi Luck.
How many years has he only been practicing?
That's not even 50 years.
Fifty years may be an ordinary person, almost a lifetime.
But for him, or for a monk, it was just a long retreat.
In the blink of an eye.
In such a short period of time, it would be too high to expect Lu Yuan to have much understanding and study of such a mysterious and lofty thing as luck.
He has been practicing the Taiping Taoist Book for more than 40 years, but he has been teaching according to the book, according to the exercises and skills recorded in the book, mechanically communicating with the Heavenly Pillar, and practicing the Tao according to the experience of his predecessors.
That's it, this Dao method has not yet reached the end.
I haven't finished my studies yet.
It is expected to conduct in-depth research on the content of learning, understand the principles, and then innovate and produce papers and research results.
Isn't that a fuss!
Lu Yuan himself is still very forced.
Knowing that he is not a genius, whether it is qualification or understanding, is the mean.
The reason why he can achieve such great results now is not only because of his strong perseverance, but also because of the influence of the talent of immortality.
Without the attribute template attached to this talent, to help him simplify his cultivation and resist the backlash of the Qi Luck Dao Method, I am afraid that Lu Yuan is still hiding in the mountains of Luling Mansion as a savage.
So people, admitting that they don't have that much ability is actually not ashamed.
As long as you can keep improving, have the opportunity to improve, and have the heart to improve, you are actually much better than many people.
And Lu Yuan, who has enough lifespan, attribute cultivation, and personal self-motivation, with all kinds of blessings, it is natural that he has achieved today's achievements.
Although he has the talent of immortality, he does not lie on his talent, eats and waits for death, and slowly sinks into a waste.
Instead, he took advantage of his talent and worked hard to climb up within the limited resources.
Immortality is not really immortal after all.
The world is destroyed, the great enemy is coming, if you can't bear it, no matter how long your life is, you won't be blessed.
It was precisely because he saw this weakness that he worked so hard to learn martial arts and strengthen his power to protect the Dao.
Holding a gun in the left hand and protecting life with the right hand is the way to live forever.
Therefore, in his busy schedule, when he was dealing with official business, after sensing that an opportunity had arrived, Lu Yuan took the time to break through a realm.
……
"After staying up for so long, I finally accumulated enough and stepped into the threshold of condensing the four qi."
The camp of the Chu army, the residence of Emperor Chu, Lu Yuan, who had just passed a checkpoint, just felt the newly born Muxing immortal qi in his body, and his heart was full of joy.
Since the twenty-eighth year of Shenwu, he broke through the condensation of the three qi, and now, after fourteen years of penance, he has finally overcome another level and stepped into a new realm of immortal dao.
The realm of the five qi dynasties, ice muscles, jade bones, immortal souls, three levels, and now the first two, he has become a master.
Now just wait for the jade bones to be thoroughly refined to perfection and form a complete ice muscle jade bone immortal body, then you can try to refine the divine soul into an immortal soul and impact the five qi dynasty yuan.
The road to becoming an immortal has been completed for most of the time, how can this not make him happy.
Fortunately, as an aspiring immortal, Lu Yuan was only happy for a while, and he didn't get too carried away.
The three levels of the fairy road are just the beginning.
Even if you spend it all, it just means that you are qualified to become an immortal.
In the end, if you can't condense the immortal Dao fruit that you have learned all your life, you still can't fade into an immortal and live forever.
"With the current situation in Kyushu, at most, I can only cultivate to the consummation of the Five Qi Dynasty, and if I want to become an immortal, it is not that I don't have this potential, but the resources are insufficient, and in the end, I am estimated to be stuck here."
Lu Yuan thought of the future, and his face was slightly unsightly.
The more advanced the cultivation, the deeper the understanding of the connection between heaven and earth.
At this time, he broke through the condensation of the four qi, and the connection with the way of qi and luck became closer.
Therefore, with this close connection, after Lu Yuan communicated with the Heavenly Pillar, he was already able to preliminarily observe the scene in the depths of the Heavenly Dome through this Heaven and Earth Passage created by the Three Ancient Emperors.
Well, don't get me wrong, it's not some intuitive heavenly way, flying in place.
It's just a matter of looking at the environment in the depths of the vault.
This Kyushu world has long been dead and silent, and Lu Yuan has never felt such a thing as the Heavenly Dao.
When he cultivated, he communicated with heaven and earth, and he just felt nature.
The so-called providence is only a vague description that can only be understood from the classics handed down from ancient times.
Therefore, relying on the pillar of heaven to observe the way of heaven and comprehend the laws and the like, this does not exist.
At least, not now.
As far as the Kyushu world is concerned, you said that it would be destroyed in the next moment, and Lu Yuan believed it.
In such a world on the verge of the end of the world, if the Heavenly Dao still exists, I am afraid that it will be a long time to survive, and it will almost die.
In other words, it was precisely because the Heavenly Dao died that the world collapsed.
All of the above, Lu Yuan actually thought about the changes in the world and the future of his life when he occasionally thought about them.
I think it's very likely that it's the reason why the world is going now.
However, this is only the shallow opinion of his minor monk, and no one knows what the specific situation is and what the truth is.
In ancient times, there were so many powerful monks, earth immortals, and human immortals, didn't they finally figure out the reason for the decay of the world?
In the end, it is not necessary to choose the path of the Northern Netherworld and escape from this world that is already doomed to the future.
Those who stood at the top of the immortal cultivation realm couldn't find out what Lu Yuan didn't think he could figure out.
After all, even if you are the protagonist, you have to abide by certain basic rules.
If you don't go through the training you should have and discover the details of the truth step by step, how can you find out the reasons for the great changes in the world and save the world?
Not to mention, whether he is the protagonist or not, Lu Yuan is not sure.
Therefore, he is too lazy to think about these self-inflicted problems.
Things work themselves out.
Judging from the current situation in Kyushu, it is only the area outside Zhongzhou that is unlucky, and there is still a great possibility that Zhongzhou can be preserved.
Even if Zhongzhou can't bear it.
Lu Yuan also has a path to ascension, which can be used as a backup option.
There is a way out, there is room for retreat, of course he is not in a hurry.
So with the good mood of breaking through the cultivation, Lu Yuan started a new job: "Now that we have broken through, take advantage of the good thing to deal with Zheng Guo's matter." ”
……
It has been more than ten days since Zheng Guo's side decided to send an envoy to ask for peace with Chu State.
In more than ten days, Zheng Envoy hurried and hurried, and under the escort of the Chu army along the way, he finally rushed to the city of Daliang.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of Chu, my country betrayed the alliance before, which angered the Great Chu, so it caused your army to crusade.
Now that the imperial capital of the country has fallen, the emperor has fled, lost the city and lost his land, and has accepted the punishment.
My emperor also knew the mistake, and he blamed himself in his heart, but the fault of the Son of Heaven, how can the common people be innocent?
I also hope that Your Majesty will have mercy on my Zheng Guo, the suffering of the war and displacement, and be able to stop the war and forgive my country.
In order to show sincerity, I am willing to break off diplomatic relations with Liang and re-ally with Chu. ”
After seeing the salute, the envoy of Zheng Guo expressed his attitude of confession to Lu Yuan neatly, and then begged for forgiveness.
In the process, there is no pretension, and the sincerity is surprising.
It seems that this Zheng Guo really can't hold on. ’
Lu Yuan looked at the envoy of Zheng Guo who was kneeling on the ground below, without the slightest envoy frame, crying bitterly and pleading, and couldn't help but think in his heart.
The other party's posture is not only to show weakness and express sincerity.
On the other hand, it also illustrates Zheng Guo's weakness.
Regarding Zheng Guo's current situation, Lu Yuan, who is a single-handed cultivator, actually has a lot to know.
With the blow of the two major camps of the Chu State, the Zheng State lost the two counties of Gaomi and Changguang one after another this year, and even the emperor fell.
These territories are the essence of Zheng Guo.
In particular, the imperial capital is the political, economic, and cultural center of Zheng Guo, and it is also the symbol of the country.
The loss of such an important city is a blow to Zheng Guo's morale, confidence, orthodoxy, etc., and it is a super negative effect.
And with such a negative effect and such a big loss, Zheng Guo still had to accept the more powerful Yuzhou camp attack after integration in the south.
There is another Tang Kingdom in the north, and it is also a vicious wolf.
Under the bite of these two fierce beasts, Zheng Guo, who has already declined and has become a sick seedling, where can he resist it?
Now his only chance of life, that is, the strong man's broken wrist, first cut off a wound that was bleeding, and then turned back with all his heart to treat another wound.
In this way, although Zheng Guo will become disabled, no matter what, it is better than dying violently.
Perhaps it was with this idea that Zheng Guo knew that this trip was humiliating, and even had to pay the price of heavy bleeding, but he still sent an envoy to Chu State.
"Zheng Guo was threatened by Liang Guo before, and the border was in danger, and it was difficult for him to resist, so he asked me to come to the rescue."
Lu Yuan looked at the envoy of Zheng Guo who was pleading, and said lightly: "I thought of the friendship with your lord before, and the friendship between Chu and Zheng, without refusal, and gladly agreed.
So he sent a million heroes, went up the sea, crossed the ocean, went to a foreign country, and guarded the border for you.
But you, Zheng Guo, how did you treat me?
When our Great Chu defeated the Liang State, he secretly colluded with the Liang people to threaten the back of our army.
It was a big chance of victory, and it was lost in vain, allowing the millions of soldiers and horses of the Liang people to escape, and also making my Dachu miss the opportunity to seize the eastern counties of the Liang State.
Can you Zheng Guo afford such a big loss?
Or do you have no credibility at both ends of the rat, thinking that you can gently expose this matter by admitting your mistakes and admitting defeat.
A group of betrayers, who still want to form an alliance with my Da Chu again, do you have that qualification? ”
Lu Yuan's calm words, with a thick coldness, the Zheng envoy under the thorn trembled, and his heart was half cold.
Truly.
If it weren't for Zheng Guo's backstab last year, Chu State's Yangxia Camp would have been able to successfully cooperate with the Eastern Continent Camp, and perhaps Liang Guoyan Yunqing's million-strong army would have been defeated at this time.
At that time, if Liang Guo lost this million main forces, the entire rear hinterland would be empty, and there would be no military strength.
The state of Chu can be driven directly into the camp on two roads, and the situation will sweep the entire Liang country.
This harvest is seven counties, eight counties, the entire Liang country, but the entire Qingzhou.
But it was such a great prospect, a big harvest, but in the end, because of Zheng Guo's backstabbing, all of his brains were gone.
The original strategy of the Northern Expedition to destroy the Liang State in one year also went bankrupt because of this.
In the end, what could have been a brilliant victory dragged into the rotten debt it is now.
Chu's raid against Wei and Liang turned into a one-on-one contest with the whole of Kyushu, and it was completely mired in war.
Such a big hatred, tell me, can Lu Yuan forgive Zheng Guo?
I can't forgive anyone else.
Lu Yuan knew this, and Zheng Guo naturally knew it.
But Zheng Guo's survival is just a thought of Chu State, if he can't get the forgiveness of Emperor Chu, Zheng Guo will be gone this year.
"Your Majesty, the country knows that the sins are deep, and it is rare for Da Chu to forgive."
The envoy of Zheng Guo saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly threw out his bargaining chips: "But as long as Da Chu can forgive our country and call off the army and truce, then our emperor is willing to abdicate the crown prince and give up the throne."
At the same time, he sent his eldest grandson and handed it over to the state of Chu as a hostage.
and ceded Haiyang County and handed it over to the State of Chu to atone for his crimes. ”
Well, the current Emperor Zheng Guo, after suffering such a fiasco, his prestige has been greatly reduced.
The introduction of Chu to Yangxia was done by Emperor Zheng.
The betrayal of the State of Chu and the switch to the State of Liang were also done by this emperor.
The fall of the land and the loss of the imperial capital also happened during the emperor's tenure.
It can be said that if there was no current Emperor Zheng Guo, Zheng Guo would not have fallen to the current situation.
has done so many wrong things, the current Emperor Zheng Lian, of course, can't sit down in the position of emperor, and he doesn't have this prestige anymore.
Among Zheng Guo, there are many people who are dissatisfied with him.
Now, if it were not for the crisis in the country, there would be a danger of destruction at any time, and I am afraid that someone would have begun to attack and would have to liquidate it.
Therefore, choosing to abdicate at this time, and then passing the throne to his son became Zheng Lian's best choice.
At least, the throne is still on his side, not by his younger brother.
There are a lot of people who want to support his younger brother to compete with him again after Zheng Guo suffered a fiasco.
As for sending the eldest grandson or something.
The prince has more than a dozen sons, and sending an eldest son out is nothing at all.
Even in the future, the relationship between Zheng Guo and Chu Guo will turn against each other again.
As a result, the hostages were killed, and the crown prince also had enough sons to take the throne, and he couldn't threaten Zheng Guo at all.
The only heart-wrenching thing is probably to divide the little remaining territory into another county for the Chu State.
However, after the fall of Haiyang County in the national capital, it was of little significance to Zheng Guo.
This area of Yuzhou, according to the different cultural and geographical trends, can be roughly divided into three areas.
i.e. south, northwest, northeast.
The three areas, all of which are about the same size, are all five county territories.
Among them, the Zheng state occupied the northwest and south, and the Jin state occupied the northeast.
However, this is the territory before the catastrophe.
With the wars of these years, the Zheng and Jin states, under the attack of the Tang and Xu states, both lost the northern territories of the country one after another.
Now the state of Chu is calling again, occupying the three counties in the south of Yuzhou in one go, and almost swallowing this area.
Haiyang County, which Zheng Guo was about to cede, was in this southern area.
The territory of his remaining three counties is all concentrated in the northwest region of Yuzhou.
So Zheng Guo's thoughts are actually very clear.
That is to give up Haiyang County, which is separated by a geographical area and has some inconvenience in ruling and communicating, in exchange for the forgiveness and withdrawal of the Chu State.
Anyway, this territory, as long as the Chu State wants it, the Zhenguo basically can't keep it.
Rather than letting others take it away, it is better to take it out now as a personal favor and use it as a bargaining chip, which is more cost-effective.
Of course.
In addition to this purpose, Zheng Guo actually has another idea of poking and prodding.
In the south of Yuzhou, there are five counties.
Chu Guo has already taken three counties, and Zheng Guo also plans to send another county, then this is the territory of four counties.
Therefore, this area, which does not belong to the Chu State in the end, is only one county left.
So in whose hands is this position?
The answer is naturally the Jin Kingdom.
Since the Jin State was forced by the Xu State to move south, it was not easy to seize the opportunity to grab the territory of such a southern county from Zheng Guo.
If you want to say that Zheng Guo is not a little resentful about this, of course it is impossible.
Although now, the Jin State has come to help Zheng Guo fight the Tang State, and the two sides are considered allies.
But at the beginning, Chu State and Zheng State were also allies, because of interests, Zheng Guo should have betrayed, wasn't it a betrayal?
Therefore, if you can pit the Jin State, and at the same time lead the water to the east when you are pitting, let the attention of the Chu State shift from yourself to the Jin State.
Let the Jin State carry the firepower of the Chu State for himself, so as to buy himself a respite.
This is not too good for Zheng Guo.
The people of the Jin Kingdom are unlucky, what does it matter to me Zheng Guoren?
As long as I, Zheng Guo, can get through this hurdle and survive, it will be bigger than the sky, bigger than the earth, and bigger than everything.
As for the so-called allies, isn't that what they are up for?
And the question of whether Chu State will be fooled?
has taken most of the southern part of Yuzhou, and it looks like it is about to be partially reunified, do you say that the Chu State will put the eye-catching meat on the side and not eat it?
Zheng Guo felt that Chu Guo would not give up.
And as long as Chu Guo goes to eat it, as Jin Guo, who has already eaten that piece of meat in his mouth, no matter how unwilling he is in his heart, he can only bear it with Chu Guo.
In this way, Zheng Guo naturally achieved the goal of bringing disaster to the east.
