Chapter 320 Great Wei Northern Expedition
Lu Qing hopes that Yan State will be more chaotic.
Of course, this chaos cannot be the chaos after the Yan Emperor becomes the Dharma image.
Otherwise, the two great Dharma actors would squat in Yan State and fight each other. On one side, they would have the support of the court and on the other side, the Yunxiao Sect, the largest sect in Yan State, so it would be quite difficult for the Lu family to get any benefits in the chaos.
Lu Qing imagined it. The best situation was that in order to solve the problem of Yan Emperor Li Shiwen, Yunxiao Sect had to waste a lot of strength. The situation in the entire Yan Dynasty became chaotic, but Li Shiwen was unable to make a breakthrough in the end. In this way, the power of the court could be in chaos and decline, but Yunxiao Sect would not have much ability, and immediately eat up the part of the power of the court's decline, so that the Lu family had the opportunity to extend its tentacles to the south.
To achieve such a situation, we have to plan carefully.
As for the moment, Lu Qing does not intend to report Yan Huang immediately.
Now is not a good time. Li Shiwen is still preparing to polish his condition before breaking through. He wants to report it, and he will report it after he officially starts breaking through, which will be even more deadly.
Lu Qing didn't know how long it took to break through the Dharma phase period, but at least it would have to go up one year. There was still time behind it, and Lu Qing would come to see it from time to time.
...
After staying on the cloud platform in the palace for a while, nothing special happened, so Lu Qing returned to the vicinity of Wen En.
It has been a while since Lu Qing rushed Zhao Guangxin and Guan Leping out with one move. This incident cannot be hidden. There have been too many people witnessing it, and the entire Yan Metro has basically spread.
Before, many people thought that this matter must be followed.
But the facts disappointed them. The Zhao family's butler basically did not take any action, at least not in the past few days. It seems that since the royal family sent envoys to the three families to visit each other, the matter has calmed down.
The Zhao family, the butler, obviously, lost such a big shame, but did not cause trouble for the Lu family, whether in private or in the officialdom. The Lu family did not take any further action. Lu Wenen, the left supervisor of the Tingwei, has even started to go to the Tingwei Mansion to get off work every day.
Of course, there are still some influences. In the Tingwei Mansion, Wen En and Guan Leping basically don’t meet, mainly because Guan Leping deliberately avoided him. Moreover, although his official position as the Left Supervisor of Tingwei is still on his body, he seems to have no specific work or responsibilities now.
Not only Lu Wenen, but also several other Lu family monks and Qingfeng Sect monks.
They didn't think it was anything, so they went to the government to work every day, meditated and practiced, sat for a few days, and then went back to the mansion for two days, and repeated this.
It is normal for Zhao, the two families to take no revenge. After all, the royal family has been warned to "don't cause trouble."
Yandu’s cultivation world has been paying attention to this matter for a few days, and after no movement, it quickly changed.
After all, compared with the conflict between the Lu family and Zhao and Guan families, something bigger has happened now: the Wei State launched a large-scale northern expedition.
This Northern Expedition was very disturbing.
The Wei general Xia Cang made an oath in Xudu and personally led the army north.
The Great Wei is different from the Yan State. In the Wei State, the sect power is not strong, and it is completely dependent and obeys the unified command and deployment of the Great Wei Dynasty. The majesty of the royal family of the Wei State is different from that of the Great Yan State.
Xia Cang, the general of Wei, was a foreign relative of Wei, and one of the most powerful people in Wei. He was also an open Dharma-like cultivator and the number one master of Wei. His fame battle was a peerless battle with the Pope of the Holy Sect of Qi, and it was also the only recorded and public Dharma-like master in the past three hundred years. It is said that Xia Cang started Dharma-like at that time and transformed into a golden armored general with a stature and a mountain-like battle with the Pope's saint and ended with a draw.
In the past, Yan and Wei countries had many wars, but most of them were assault wars and sneak attacks. I was eager to catch you off guard. Where did you have the time to carry out a declaration of war or a swearing ceremony?
Moreover, in the past two countries' wars, no matter how fierce the battle was, Xia Cang never ended in person.
To some extent, this incident was also interpreted as Yan State actually has a Dharma period, otherwise why would Xia Cang not go?
But this time is different. According to time, the army of Wei cultivators led by Xia Cang should have been on the way north. It took not long to arrive at their goal this time, that is, the Pingzhou front line of Yan State.
His Majesty Yan Emperor had already held a military meeting urgently - of course, Lu Qing knew that the Emperor Yan who held a military meeting was fake - Yan State also started to mobilize urgently.
At the same time, Emperor Yan would also meet the envoy of Yunxiao Sect. The Yunxiao Sect said that they were already mobilizing the monks from the border to form a line of defense. At the same time, they would also mobilize the elites from the sect headquarters to participate in front-line battles.
From this, we can also see the contempt of Yunxiao Sect for the imperial court and the royal family. When Lu Qing saw with his own eyes, a monk Qiming came to Yunxiao Sect to talk about this matter with Emperor Yan. His attitude was at most respectful, but his words seemed to represent the orders of the upper peak, asking the court to prepare supplies, prepare troops, go to Pingzhou to support, and obey the unified command of Yunxiao Sect.
In other words, you just need to provide me with logistical support. You don’t need to care about other things, combat, and defense line arrangements, our Yunxiao Sect will do everything.
Lu Qing was amazed.
No wonder, Yan Emperor Li Shiwen wanted to break free from the control of Yunxiao Sect. What does this emperor feel like? If Lu Qing was in that position, he would have the same idea.
However, Lu Qing didn't think that this war would really start.
According to the exchange between the true body of Emperor Yan and the envoy of Wei who had heard before, the Northern Expedition of Wei was essentially invited by Emperor Yan, and the emperors of the two countries had a tacit understanding before. This should be the backup plan prepared by Li Shiwen. He hoped that through the Northern Expedition of Wei, General Xia Cang would personally go out to create pressure for Yunxiao Sect, so that Yunxiao Sect would have no time to take care of his affairs under the heavy pressure of the Dharma Master himself.
However, Lu Qing also felt that this matter might be a waste. Why did Wei State sit back and see a new Dharma image of Yan State? If the Yan State court and Yunxiao Sect fight inward, why didn’t they take this opportunity to turn the fake invasion into a real invasion?
Emperor Yan should have a backup plan.
No matter what, something happened to the front line, Lu Qing felt that it was very necessary to obtain first-hand news from the front line.
Excluding this factor from this, whether the Yan Emperor can successfully break through is also a very critical part of the situation in Pingzhou.
