Chapter 2410: Liu Yu planned to marry Lu Zhi, and Chen Ping was forced to join Qin
Yizhou, Chengdu.
A war without gunpowder has lasted for a year and a half, and now it is finally coming to an end.
The political struggle between the Chengdu kings led by Liu Yu and Su Qin and the Shu kings led by Chen Ping and Xing Tian has reached a level known to everyone.
Coupled with the provocation of the Black Ice Platform of the Qin Dynasty, this further aggravated the conflicts within Shu, making the entire Shu Kingdom like a powder barrel possible for civil war to break out at any time.
But what surprised everyone was that both Chen Ping and Liu Yu showed extreme restraint in the civil war. Even if the two sides had fought to the point of never stopping, they still suppressed the people below and did not allow a real war to break out.
The reason why both sides are so restrained is that both sides know that if the Shu civil war is together, they will completely lose control and will eventually only benefit from the Qin Dynasty.
Second, the two allies of Chu and Sui were in harmony in the center to prevent the two factions from getting fired, so as to prevent them from being out of control in the end.
As for the Tang Kingdom, since it became a vassal state of the Great Qin, it was kicked out of the Southern Han Alliance. It was impossible for the Southern Han Alliance to be re-accepted before it completely betrayed the Great Qin Dynasty.
Under this balance of self-control and external harmony, the internal contradictions of Shu Kingdom have been alleviated to a certain extent, but this peace that comes from mutual compromise is obviously fragile and may collapse at any time.
Liu Yu and Chen Ping also knew this, but before the political struggle was completely decided, they had no choice but to maintain this extremely strange balance first.
Liu Yu thought that after Liu Ji died, he could easily accept the Shu faction and take over the military and political power of the entire Shu Kingdom, but he still underestimated the two people.
The first one is Liu Ji who is already dead.
Even if Liu Ji is dead, his influence on Shu Kingdom is everywhere. Chen Ping, Xing Tian, ??Cao Shen and others will still be united, maintaining the flag of the Shu faction and will not accept Liu Yu''s win over at all.
The second one is Liu Ji''s widow, Lu Zhi.
Liu Ji is dead, Chen Ping is good at military strategy and weaker than politics.
Liu Yu''s political attributes grew rapidly, and with Su Qin''s assistance, Chen Ping was obviously no longer an opponent, which led to the early decline of the Shu faction.
Seeing that the Shu corps had less and less authority in the court, the Shu princess Lu Zhi stood up and showed extremely high political means.
She united with the civil and military ministers of Shu and held close military power, and did not give Liu Yu any chance to seize power.
Outwardly, we will win over the Chu and Sui countries, let the two countries put pressure on Liu Yu, and we will not force the troops to annex the Shu faction.
In addition, Lu Zhi also moved to the military camp with her son to prevent Liu Yu from using secret tricks on them and their son.
Lu Zhi clearly put on a gesture of saying, "If you, Liu Yu, dare to forcefully seize power and bully our orphans and widows, at worst, war will break out and see who will get better in the end."
Even though Liu Yu had all kinds of conspiracies, he was helpless by Lu Zhi''s turtle shell methods.
He could never really go to war with the Shu faction. If that woman Lu Zhi was desperate, what''s the point of getting a broken Shu Kingdom?
However, Liu Yu could not accept Lu Zhi''s proposal that the two kings were in charge of Shu Kingdom together.
Liu Yu knew very well that he would be injured if he didn''t die. He pretended to be a grandson under Liu Ji''s nose for so many years, and finally found an opportunity to die in secret. How could he give Shu Lian the opportunity to endure under his nose?
God knows whether he will make mistakes in the future, so that he can find a chance to seize power and then turn himself into the next Liu Ji?
Liu Yu didn''t want to end up with Liu Ji, so he would never accept the rule of the two kings, but Lu Zhi is a woman who is more difficult to deal with than Chen Ping, and he really has no good idea in a short period of time.
Just when Liu Yu was at a loss, Su Qin offered a handsome man''s plan.
Su Qin suggested that Liu Yu should seduce Lu Zhi and adopt Liu Ying as his adopted son, so that he could appease the Shu faction to the greatest extent.
Lu Zhi was only in her thirties, and she was a widow at the age of a tiger and wolf. She would definitely not be able to stand it in the long run.
As for Liu Yu, he is handsome and has a strong and tall figure. He is the dream lover of countless girls in Shu Kingdom. When he waves his hand, countless women throw themselves into his arms. It is not easy to seduce a widow like Lu Zhi, a widow who has lost her husband.
After hearing Su Qin''s words, Liu Yu couldn''t believe that Su Qin said this.
The military advisor actually wanted him to use the handsome trick?
After some thought, Liu Yu still compromised. After all, there was no other good solution now. So on the one hand, he eased the relationship between the Shu faction and sent someone to invite Lu Zhi to the banquet.
Lu Zhi thought that Liu Yu was interested in making peace, so she would not miss this opportunity. After several contacts, she gradually let go of her vigilance. As a result, after a dinner, Liu Yu found an opportunity, and the two of them were half-suppressed and half-warmed.
Lu Zhi is not a woman who can endure loneliness. After the first time, she soon had a second and third time.
Although Lu Zhi enjoyed the joy between her and Liu Yu, she did not sink into it and let Liu Yu go.
She was just having fun with Liu Yu. Anyway, Liu Yu was tall, handsome and long-lasting, ten times better than her dead husband, and she was not at a loss, even a widow.
What Liu Yu and Lu Zhi didn''t expect was that Lu Zhi was actually pregnant, so Liu Yu took the opportunity to marry her.
When Lu Zhi heard this, her thoughts became lively. She thought that Liu Yu was just playing with her, but she never expected that Liu Yu would come to the real world.
Lu Zhi did not refuse Liu Yu''s proposal, but proposed to be Liu Yu''s main wife, and her son Liu Ying must always be the King of Shu.
Lu Zhi did not propose that Liu Ying be the prince of Chengdu. If such unrealistic words were really put forward, it would cause Liu Yu''s dissatisfaction.
As long as the title of a wife is present, the child she and Liu Yu will naturally be the prince.
Liu Yu agreed without thinking. After all, his wife died of illness a few years ago and never established her as a regular wife. If Lu Zhi wanted this name, she would give it to her.
As for Liu Ying, after he married Lu Zhi, Liu Ying was his stepson. With the status between father and son, he could openly use Liu Ying to command the Shu clan.
The news that the King of Chengdu Liu Yu wanted to marry Princess Lu Zhi of Shu and also wanted to become the official wife spread throughout Chengdu as soon as it appeared, which made countless people dumbfounded.
The two people who had never died before are now in a relationship?
Although everyone knows that Liu Yu did this just for the rights of the Shu clan, he still admires Liu Yu''s actions. After all, this Shu princess is not an ordinary person.
The courage to let such a woman become a person by her side shows that the King of Chengdu has put life and death aside for the stability of Shu Kingdom.
Chen Ping, Xing Tian, ??Cao Shen and other Shu members were all confused after learning the news. They never expected that Lu Zhi would agree to marry Liu Yu.
Although Shu Kingdom claimed to the outside world that Liu Ji died of excessive injuries due to Zhao Yun''s gunshot wound, Chen Ping and other confidants knew that Liu Ji was angry to death by Liu Yu. Liu Yu was so angry that Liu Ji was not counted. He also wanted to usurp the entire Shu Kingdom. Liu Ji''s wife and Liu Ji''s son wanted to recognize the thief as his father. This was simply too much.
Chen Ping and others were all angry at Liu Ji''s confidants, but they obviously could not be the leader of Lu Zhi. In addition, Lu Zhi agreed to marry Liu Yu, which also caused a split within the Shu faction, which made many people no longer want to continue to confront the Chengdu faction.
Chen Ping never expected that the person who was back-pricked him would be regarded as the mistress of hope by him. Now that the team is unstable, the big things are gone, it is no longer something he can reverse.
Lu Zhi''s approach took care of everything in Shu, but she was excluded from Chen Ping.
Chen Ping is the leader of the Shu faction and has always advocated confrontation with Liu Yu, and has already offended Liu Yu to death.
Liu Yu was able to accept everyone in the Shu system, but he would not accept him.
Chen Ping, who has intelligence 101, obviously knows this, so as soon as he knows the news, he plans to get out and take revenge on this man and woman.
Chen Ping summoned Xing Tian, ??Cao Shen, Fan Kuai, Peng Yue, Xiahou Ying, Liu Yuxi and others, and added fire to the point that Liu Yu would never let them go, hoping that these people could leave Shu Kingdom with him.
But because of the young master Liu Ying, most people were unwilling to betray Shu. Only Cao Shen and Fan Kuai decided to leave Shu and go to Chu to surrender to Liu Xiu.
"Military advisor, don''t you go to Chu State with us?" Fan Kuai asked in a muffled voice.
Chen Ping shook his head and said, "Ping still has something to deal with in Chengdu. You can go first, I will catch up later."
"Okay, then we will see you again in Chu State."
After Cao Shen and Fan Kuai left, a mysterious man in black appeared behind Chen Ping.
"Mr. Chen Ping, it seems you have made a choice."
"The great man is no longer saved, and the great Qin Dynasty is destined to unify the world. How could a foolish person not see the general trend clearly? Naturally, he knows how to choose."
Chen Ping said calmly. He could comfort himself before, but now that he has become an abandoned son and his fantasies are completely shattered, so he naturally will not be foolish and loyal to Liu Ji.
The man in black became silent, then took out a token and said, "Sir, since he has the intention to join Qin, he can enter Luoyang and meet His Majesty directly with this token."
Chen Ping showed surprise. He thought the other party was just a secret spy, but he didn''t expect that he would have the right to see Ying Hao directly. This is not as simple as an ordinary secret spy. Could it be...
"I heard that the Qin Dynasty had four secret spies from the world, Xuanhuang, who were all over the world and knew everything. Who was not you?"
After the man in black was silent for a moment, he spoke, "Xuan."
Chen Ping knew it in his heart. After taking the token, he took out another list and said, "These people are my confidants and should be helpful to you."
After saying that, Chen Ping went straight to the horse and left, but he did not go to Chu, but to go to Qin.
Chen Ping turned his head and looked at the Chengdu City behind him, feeling full of resentment. He devoted his efforts to Shu Kingdom but did not expect to end up like this, so he vowed to make the man and woman Liu Yu and Lu Zhi pay the price.
Two days later.
"Report... Report to the lord, Chen Ping, Fan Kuai and Cao Shen are gone."
"What?"
Liu Yu was shocked when he heard this. He didn''t know that the four of them had defected. So he quickly ordered: "Hurry, order Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide to lead a thousand iron cavalry to chase him. Chen Ping must not escape from Yizhou alive."
Liu Yu knew the horror of Chen Ping. If it weren''t for Liu Ji''s death, and with Su Qin''s assistance and Lu Zhi''s back prick, he would have wanted to deal with Chen Ping, but he still didn''t know when it would be.
Chen Ping knew too many secrets of Shu Kingdom, so Liu Yu might naturally watch him join another country, even if he was an allies.
As for Shan Fu, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the three former subordinates of Liu Bei have been valued by Liu Yu since they defected.
The three of them are extremely capable, and have a very innocent fortune. They also have an irreconcilable hatred with the Qin Dynasty. What reason does Liu Yu have not to use it?
Liu Yu has not many people who can use it, and his most trusted younger brother Liu Er is not Xing Tian''s opponent. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei''s active resignation made him no worse than the Shu faction in terms of senior generals.
Chen Ping and the other four have been running for two days, obviously they won’t let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei catch up.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei chased the country to the border, but did not find the cement man. In desperation, he had to return and hand over the order to Liu Yu.
At the same time, Sizhou, Henan Yin, Xinzheng County.
Xinzheng County was one of the seven heroes during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but after experiencing war and vicissitudes, it never disappointed its former prosperity.
By the end of the Han Dynasty, Xinzheng had become an ordinary small county, and it was not until it was ruled by Ying Hao that it was revitalized again.
There is a reason why Xinzheng can be determined to be the capital of Han. It contains a large amount of iron ore and copper ore around it, and it is also open-pit, which is extremely easy to mine.
It was precisely because of this unique natural resource that South Korea made its name as "Jinhan" during the Warring States Period, and its military fineness was even less refined than that of Qin.
But after experiencing the logging of the Qin and Han dynasties, Xinzheng''s open-pit minerals have been developed, and deep ore veins cannot be mined on a large scale due to technical reasons. This is also the main reason for the decline of Xinzheng.
Ying Hao exchanged new mining technology from the system, improving the mining technology of Daqin by several levels. Even deep ore veins can be mined, let alone Xinzheng''s middle ore veins.
It is also because of this that the Xinzheng Mine was rebooted and a large arsenal was built nearby to build armies specifically for the army.
The establishment of mines and ordnance factories has also made Xinzheng popular. All the troops in Sizhou want to regard Xinzheng as their garrison. After all, with the ordnance factory there, the local garrison will definitely not lack training equipment.
But what the major generals did not expect was that Xinzheng, a mouth-watering treasure land, was eventually snatched away by the Detachment of Women.
It must be that Fenghuanghou took the wife''s route again. The generals of Sizhou thought of this.
But what they didn''t know was that Arthur did not mobilize all wives this time, and she didn''t know why this treasure land was distributed to the Detachment of Women. However, she couldn''t ignore the fat meat at her mouth, so she moved the recruits battalion to Xinzheng as soon as possible.
