After Weiyun truly showed his strength, the State of Chu suffered a great disaster.

The great master Fei Pin escaped seriously and was seriously injured, and more than 200 cultivators in Chu State died.

Of course, this number seems to be small, but for Chu, it is a complete blow.

The reason is nothing special. Most of the more than 200 dead people are high-level monks!

After all, those who were summoned by Fei Pin to siege the pursuing forces of the Yan and Qi coalition were all elites of Chu, all of whom were cultivators at the level of Jindan. After Fei Pin was quickly injured and beaten away, these people were not so easy to escape.

Dead or captured.

The losses of so many advanced monks are quite a damaging thing for a great immortal country.

And further back, the Yan and Qi coalition forces walked out of the line of defense and began to advance westward.

Before, the land conquered by the Chu people, under the name of Emperor Wu, was removed one by one by one by the Yan and Qi coalition forces.

And in this process, the Chu people had no intention of taking care of it.

But this does not mean that it is completely smooth sailing.

The combat effectiveness of the National Protection Army at this time was somewhat beyond people's expectations.

To defend the country, this sentence can really arouse the will to fight to the death.

Of course, despite this, they were not very good at watching the actions of the Yanqi coalition.

But at least, their desperate battles delayed the speed of the Yan and Qi coalition's attack in the overall situation, and at the same time allowed more people of Chu to escape, so that they could regain their strength and at least maintain organization.

Since this is the case, the Yan and Qi coalition slowly slowed down and no longer continued to press down.

After a while, the negotiations led by Yan State also began.

To put it bluntly, if you continue to fight, it will be of no benefit to both sides.

The State of Chu was destined to be impossible to win. A defeat, Fei Bi was injured, and the death of a large number of senior monks made them lose the ability to organize an attack again.

After swallowing Wu and Wei surrendered, they were too full of food. It is unlikely that they would invade Chu in one breath. On the one hand, they were unable to meet their strength, and on the other hand, even if they really defeated the defense of Chu, it would be too difficult for them to incorporate Chu into their rule.

Not to mention Chu, the two immortal kingdoms of Wu and Wei are both very difficult to deal with. If one is not done well, it will cause indigestion.

But Lu Qing no longer wanted to care about this matter. It was too tiring to do this by himself, so he could just let the two sons who were emperors do it.

Especially Lu Chaoxi.

Chaohe has been the emperor for a short time, but Chaoxi's career as an emperor has been decades. From the beginning to the present, he has grown up and experienced it. He should be able to handle such government work.

What's more, he also has a large group of bureaucratic systems in the court to help.

Relatively speaking, what Lu Yan needs to get is just a result.

Can the State of Wu and Qi be used for me? Can the State of Wu and Qi be used for me? Can the State of Wu be trained to steadily, especially to cultivate reliable high-level monks, be able to deal with those fragments of time?

As long as this goal is achieved, Lu Qing doesn't mind what the process is like.

...

When Lu Qing went back to practice hard and was about to squeeze into the crack of the Shenhai period as soon as possible, his two sons were almost scratching their heads.

This is of course for the situation in the Wu and Wei countries.

The military result is always just the beginning. There is no doubt that the Yanqi Alliance and the Lu royal family are undoubtedly the ones who have won the battles over the past period of time. However, there are many problems left behind in the victory.

In the Chu State, how should the Cao royal family arrange the subsequent arrangements?

It is definitely not possible for them to be emperors, otherwise, they will not be able to reach the instructions left by my father.

According to my father, it doesn’t matter whether the name “Wei Kingdom” is preserved or not, but the emperor, or the ruler of any other name, must be the Lu family.

In the end, Lu Chaoxi decided to retain the name of Wei; the name of the Emperor of Wei was abolished and incorporated into the rule of Da Yan; he still recognized the Cao family's imperial rule, but the current emperor would definitely not be able to be called King of Wei.

After such operations, the Wei State was still there, but it had become part of the Yan State and was ruled by the Emperor of Great Yan.

This is a necessary fruit, a must-get under military victory. Without this result, I have squandered so much effort before, and why did I do so many things?

Of course, in order to make the rule smoother, those supporting strategies are also necessary.

For example, the Cao family was to keep the name of "King of Wei" to appease loyal ministers like Xia Cang; the name of "Wei" was also to appease the hearts of these people, at least the country was not destroyed; at the same time, the Wei court was retained, and a large number of officials were retained, which was also to appease the hearts of the people.

All of this comfort is essentially a political commitment to these Wei people:

As long as you don’t mess around and support my Da Yan rule, then all the Wei people’s current vested interests will not be greatly damaged.

But at the same time, the implicit meaning is also very simple: If you still face me like this, then wait for death.

As for the court of Wei, since they have made promises and will not harm their interests, then naturally, the entire court should be retained.

If the Wei government system can be maintained, it will obviously be very helpful for the subsequent rule of the Lu family over the Wei State. They were originally local administrators of the Wei State, and all matters were integrated. No matter whether they were disinterested in the Lu family or their loyalty, as long as they could ensure that they would generally maintain peace within the Wei State on the premise of recognizing Lu Chaoxi as the emperor.

In the future, as time goes by, we can transform the Wei government system step by step. Allow officials in key positions to follow the Lu family with conscience; if it doesn't work, then just replace it.

In short, this should be a gentle remodel.

Of course, this so-called gentleness is only relatively speaking.

There are always fierce people.

After all, this is not the homeland of Yan State or the old friend. When Wei State ceded Yingzhou and Hezhou to Yan State, some conflicts, contradictions and uprisings broke out within the two states.

Not to mention now.

In the public opinion environment of Wei State, there are many statements that Wei State surrendered too easily and they could still fight and should not surrender so easily.

These statements are very marketable.

Such a public opinion environment represents a sense that the direction of people's hearts will inevitably cause riots in the future.

However, in the world of cultivation, it is too difficult to engage in any uprising. As long as there is no stronger external force, with the Yan Dynasty's subsequent combat power, this problem will not be very big.

When facing the Wu Kingdom, governance issues will be much more prominent.

There is really a pot of porridge in the Wu Kingdom.

The main battles against Wu must have ended. The national defense force of Wu has almost been defeated by the established battle; the invading Chu army was also resolved; the Wei army led by Zheng Yu was also transferred to the territory of Wei, and was ready to disperse the entire army, partly dismissal, and some of them will be identified and included in several Yan's standing troops.

But this is still just the end of the main battle, and it does not mean that the Wu Kingdom ushered in peace.

On the contrary, the Wu army that collapsed in the system was not completely eliminated. Their live power still existed. Although most of the people fled, some of them still scattered resistance in various parts of the Wu State. In particular, they were able to receive the support of the local people in the Wu State, and their supplies and personnel were fully supplemented.

Many local governments in the Wu Kingdom are also resisting, at least not cooperating.

What is clear now is that the entire Wu Kingdom is in a state of occupation. However, the war of resistance in various places has never been cut off. The Yan and Qi coalition forces were quite exhausted. Although they were generally able to control, it was difficult to establish an effective ruling foundation immediately.

And there were also problems within the Yan and Qi coalition.

After the Great Purge, the entire Qi army became very obedient, unlike at the earliest, when they could not be instructed. However, many people also under such a purge, especially after a relative and friend died in the purge, their morale became low. In addition, years of war, after victory, they had to be stationed in the territory of Wu for a long time to fight public security wars. The entire army was more war-weary.

Even within Qi, there have been some thoughts and public opinion.

They believed that they had achieved success in the war. No matter how this success was achieved, they had won it. And they also paid a considerable price in this war. Especially, a wave of great purges killed so many people...

In short, after paying a considerable price, the people of Qi will think that the war is victorious and it is time to gain. The price of maintaining rule in Wu State is too high, so there is no need to do that. It is better to rob and rob the wealth of Wu State back, which is enough.

After this trend of thought arose, even after a great purge, the Lu royal family's control over Qi and the army increased greatly, and it was difficult to suppress it.

This is normal.

If you use bloody suppression and other means to maintain the system and establish a terrorist regime, then there is no big problem. The Lu family also has this strength. If you don’t want to go, you will have to go. If you force them to go, you will be done.

But it is obvious that the Lu family will not do this. Maintaining rule is not the Lu family's goal, nor is it Lu Qing's goal. Ruling an immortal country is to better integrate the power of the world, otherwise why would you do that?

However, the rule of terror cannot develop the country and fully mobilize the power of the entire country.

Since we cannot engage in a reign of terror, then people will give suggestions and express their opinions normally. Isn’t this possible?

That is certainly OK.

So, the whole thing becomes very troublesome.

In the end, after discussions between the emperor and his brothers, including communicating with Lu Qing, the ancestor, the corresponding handling strategy was taken out.

Qi will withdraw some of its troops and return to its country; the other part will also be withdrawn one after another in the next few years. At the same time, Qi will send new troops to rotate.

The future Wu Kingdom will be ruled by Yan Kingdom. The Yan Army will also send some of them to participate in the suppression. However, due to the power of Yan Kingdom, most of them will be placed in Wei Kingdom. Although Wei Kingdom is still relatively honest now, this is based on Lu Qing's deterrence and the Yan Army has been deployed in Wei Kingdom.

But for the Great Yan, the pressure is still not light. The Jin State and Liang State in the west need to be prepared for it. This border pressure allows Yan State to invest a lot of strength to protect Wei State and protect its local area.

After being involved in a lot of energy, it was indeed difficult for Yan State to mobilize a team to suppress Wei State for a long time.

But Qi did not have this problem. To the north is the ally Yan State, to the west is the Wei State, which was just taken down by Yan State, and to the south is the Wu State, which was just taken down. In this way, as long as Wu State and Wei State are not in chaos, Qi State will suddenly become extremely safe.

Since this is the case, they certainly have the strength to mobilize the State of Wu to carry out the task of suppression.

So the question is, on the one hand, the people of Qi need to carry out the task of suppression, and on the other hand, Wu is ruled by Yan. What are the benefits of Qi?

The benefits lie in the direct transfer of interests.

The State of Yan was in charge, and a large amount of money was distributed from the country, from Wei, and from the battlefield of Wu, and given to Qi. This part of the income will be distributed from the court of Qi to the monks and families participating in the war. Many monks will receive their war bonuses, and even the dead will be given to their families, relatives, and fellow disciples.

Speaking of which, if the Qi people completely plundered the Wu Kingdom, the benefits would definitely be more than this. It is precisely because of this that the Qi people have some complaints about this.

But it doesn't matter. As long as you can block your mouth slightly, that's enough.

As for the Wu Kingdom, their country name is still temporarily retained. However, the nature of this reservation is completely different from that of the Wei Kingdom. Military control is temporarily implemented within the Wu Kingdom. The Yan and Qi coalition forces, mainly Qi Army, will take the capital as the core and gradually clean up the surrounding area.

Yan State did not fail to contribute to the work of restoring the rule of Wu. Although it could not withdraw too many people in terms of military power, it was possible to do a lot in establishing a new government.

Whenever the Qi army cleared a place, Yan State would be mixed with people dispatched from Wei State and promoted from local refugees of Wu State as management bureaucrats to handle local government affairs.

Pacify local forces, monks, and people, and restore order...

Things are done step by step, and they are always a way to solve them.
