Lu Gui laughed loudly: "Sure enough, if the trees are as beautiful as the forest, the wind will destroy them. Liu Yu's unrealistic ideals still aroused public outrage. So, as long as we can delay the time and wait and see what happens,
Then Liu Yu's failure will happen sooner or later."
Luo Longsheng smiled slightly: "Yes, so we have to establish our own power early, cater to Liu Yu and obey him openly, but secretly prepare our own plans in case of emergencies. If Liu Yu can defeat Tian
Teacher Dao, then his domestic enemies on the surface will be defeated, but those invisible enemies, those of his own people who obey him on the surface but are not of the same mind as him, are the ones who will really destroy his hegemony. Ivory Tusk
, everything we have to do next is to prepare for future changes. When necessary, you can even keep your distance from your father. When Liu Yu wants to take over Yongzhou, you cannot intervene or interfere."
Lu Gui's face changed: "What are you talking about? No matter what, I am my father's biological son. If he is in trouble, or if Liu Yu wants to take away the foundation of our Lu family in Yongzhou, we will sit back and wait for death?"
Luo Longsheng sighed: "This is not called sitting still and waiting for death. This is called adapting to the current situation and waiting for changes. After Liu Yu eliminates Tianshi Dao, he will inevitably send troops to Yongzhou in the name of the Northern Expedition, and then take away your father's power.
At this time, if you want to openly disobey or disobey Liu Yu's orders, it is rebellion. Even with the strength of Tianshi Dao, you have not succeeded. Do you think you can be stronger than Xu Dao?
Cover it?"
Lu Gui gritted his teeth: "Then we can't let others control us. If dad loses Yongzhou, how can I keep the newly occupied land of Yuzhou? What's more, if I occupy Sima Guofan's territory
, How can Liu Yi be convinced? I'm afraid Liu Yu would have come to grab it first if Liu Yu hadn't ordered me to hand over my territory."
Luo Longsheng curled up his lips: "So you have to make good friends with the Sima family, and even the children of the aristocratic families in the court, so that they can speak for you in the court. Moreover, as the eldest son of the Lu family, you respond to Liu Yu's call for the Northern Expedition and serve for you.
He attacked Sima Guofan, Sima Chuzhi and others first, which can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill to Liu Yu. If necessary, you can persuade your father to persuade him not to fight to the death with Liu Yu for Yongzhou.
, Liu Yu's Northern Expedition will inevitably use and exhaust the manpower and resources of the south. This is something that aristocratic families will never accept. It is also troublesome to hand over the territory to whom to manage it. Have you heard?
What happened after Nan Yan destroyed the country?"
Lu Gui frowned slightly: "After the destruction of Nanyan, the local wealthy families such as Han Fan and Feng Yi occupied high positions and became Liu Jingxuan, the governor, and the right-hand man of the actual controller Liu Muzhi. My former
I also heard for a while that when Tianshi Dao attacked the capital, the situation in Nanyan was not stable, and some rebels in various places were resurgent. However, recently because Tianshi Dao attacked Jingzhou, they were cut off from the news there.
I don’t know what will happen next. What news did you hear again?”
Luo Longsheng sneered and said: "The news I heard is that Liu Muzhi used the excuse that those rebels were supported by Han Fan, Feng Yi and others, so he killed Han Fan, Feng Yi and others, and even others
The more than a dozen big families in Qingzhou, the forces that had grown up in Qingzhou for hundreds of years, were almost wiped out, leaving only a few families such as the Pilu family, and then the newly arrived general families like the Yuan family, because they were here.
During the turmoil, he was loyal to Liu Muzhi, Liu Jingxuan and others, and was promoted and reused."
Lu Gui took a breath: "How could such a thing happen? We used to think that Han Fan was an important minister of Nanyan and the most powerful person in Qi. His taking the lead in surrendering to Liu Yu was an important reason for Nanyan's final demise.
,How could he even rebel?"
Luo Longsheng shook his head: "Do you really think that Han Fan will rebel? These are just Liu Muzhi's calculations. Before Liu Yu captured Nanyan, he had already planned it. The land of Qilu must not fall again.
In the hands of these powerful Qilu families, even if they surrender and sincerely serve the Eastern Jin Dynasty, they will not escape the fate of being killed and purged."
Lu Gui's eyes widened: "What do you mean by this? Didn't Han Fan and Feng Yi conspire to rebel?"
Luo Longsheng sighed: "Maybe they rebelled, maybe they didn't, maybe they just stayed on the wall and stood still as before. Those who rebelled, maybe they were just some local tycoons who changed their minds after seeing the Jin army retreat, maybe they were influenced by
The pawns they ordered to test Jin's reaction may even be just guys sent by the Northern Wei Dynasty to instigate rebellion. More likely, Liu Muzhi deliberately induced the rebellion in order to find an excuse to eliminate them. But what is the truth and how important is it?
What’s important? The important thing is that these powerful families in Qilu land have been wiped out. They can no longer separate themselves and hold real power like they did in the past hundred years, becoming a stumbling block that affects the direct rule of the central court!"
Lu Gui murmured to himself: "Are you saying that today in Qilu Land will be Yongzhou's tomorrow?"
Luo Longsheng said calmly: "This is an inevitable result. Liu Yu is a great general, a great commander, and a great hero that has never been seen in the hundreds of years since the founding of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He is also an emperor who has never had the desire to mobilize the power of the whole country to conquer the Central Plains and unify the world.
Liu Muzhi is the dark side of this great hero. Those sinister things he did without hesitation, those shameful conspiracies and cruel methods that can pacify the world but damage his glorious image are all
It was done by this damn fat man. At that time, Liu Yu was not strong enough, so he needed to appease the noble families internally and tolerate the powerful local factions externally, so you and your son were able to live in peace in Yongzhou for so many years."
Lu Gui gritted his teeth: "You mean, Liu Yu will send Liu Muzhi to deal with us like he did with Nan Yan? Humph, that's not a good idea. We secretly have the support of the Tiandao Alliance and are relying on the Later Qin Dynasty.
, if they force us to rebel, what will happen to Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi? Besides, they may not even be able to stabilize Jingzhou now. We will do a lot to repel Xu Daofu's attack this time. If Liu Daogui dies,
, I’m afraid that our Lu family may all compete for the position of governor of Jingzhou. Didn’t you say that the relationship between the high-ranking family in Jingzhou and Liu Yu is subtle, so can you use the power of the Shenmeng to help us fight for it?”
Luo Longsheng sighed: "Xiang Tooth, I really don't dare to cooperate with you because of your brain. Where is Jingzhou? It is second only to Yangzhou in the Jin Dynasty. It is a crucial place for Jiankang. Those who live in Jingzhou can make progress.
If Jiankang conquers the world, we can retreat to Jingzhou and cut off half of the country. If we can’t lose the tail, how can we entrust it to outsiders?”
