Such a big piece of pie fell on his head for nothing, which made Ketu a little confused. He didn't know whether he should agree immediately or not.
There is no such thing as "there is no such thing as a free lunch" these days, but most people know the common sense that pie in the sky may not fall from the sky, but bricks may fall from the sky.
Ketu hesitated for a moment and said, "Can I go back to find someone to discuss it?"
Lu Wu waved his hand angrily: "This kind of thing can't be settled with just one word. What does it mean for you, the King of Wu? If you like it, you can change it or not. If you don't change it, you will be defeated. I will only give you this chance."
But being forced by Lu Wu, Tu simply gritted his teeth, slapped his thigh hard, and shouted: "Then change it!"
"Tch, why don't I give you a bargain? How much space are there in the five counties in the south of the Yangtze River? If I hadn't been too lazy to run around and fight all day, would such a good thing have been your turn?" Lu Wu glanced at Ke Tu with disdain.
Ketu quickly came out with a smile.
Ke Tu actually suspected that he had been cheated by Lu Wu. After all, the advantage gained in this exchange was so great that he had to suspect that there was a trap inside - but the problem was, he didn't know where the trap was and how big it was. deep.
You must know that the five counties in the south of the Yangtze River are only 5,000 miles in radius, including a large number of hills, forests and mountains. Although after thirty years of development, the total population is only 500,000 households - most of them were relocated.
As for the hometown of the Wu Kingdom in the southern Five Prefectures, it has a population of more than two million households. The land is fertile and water conservancy is complete. Although it has experienced some wars in the past few months, neither the Chu army nor Lu Wu attacked the civilians. It can be said that the potential is No less fat than before, fat and oily.
As for Lu Wu's statement that he didn't want to fight, so he didn't want a place like the Five Prefectures in the South where he would fight with the Chu State, and wanted to go south to hide and relax - Tu somewhat believed it, but didn't dare to believe it completely.
Lu Wu could single-handedly conquer the five southern prefectures and assassinate the King of Chu when he entered the city alone. If such a person was said to be timid, no one in the world would dare to fight.
But if it is because of laziness, it is really unbelievable that the rich land must be replaced by the poor and remote areas.
[To be honest, I have recently updated it, switched sources, and have many reading sounds. .yeguoyuedu is available for Android and Apple. 】
But the facts were right in front of him, and Ke Tu didn't dare not agree - after all, he couldn't understand what Lu Wu was doing, so what if he was serious?
This kind of good thing, exchanging gold for iron, only happens once in a thousand years, and because of the righteousness of regaining Wu's homeland, as the king of Wu, he couldn't miss this great opportunity.
"Brother Ketu, this is my repayment for your kindness in coming here and informing me of my escape. Do you think it's enough?"
"Enough, more than enough." Ke Tu nodded heavily.
Not only is it more than enough, it is simply "a drop of kindness is repaid by a spring."
"Now that we've repaid him, we have to settle the score now. Since General Luo Gan wants to kill me, it's not too much for me to kill his whole family." Lu Wu said with a smile.
"——General Lu, please show mercy." Ke Tu's face suddenly turned white, and he quickly knelt down and begged.
General Luo Gan is his grandfather!
Even if the married daughter throws water, Lu Wu's so-called "killing the whole family" does not involve his mother Ming Ji and his two brothers. The general is also his most important supporter in the military. If he is killed by Lu Wu , I am afraid that his position as King of Wu will not be stable.
As for whether Lu Wu can kill grandpa Luo Gan - grandpa is standing outside the car now. At this distance, who can stop Lu Wu from taking a blow?
"Haha, that's fine. Just because you insisted on getting in the car despite Luo Gan's stop, I won't kill him."
"However, since you want me to let Luo Gan go, Wen Daozhi, Ou Fang, and Lu Zhiqi want to kill me in the name of righteousness, so you can't also let me go, right?"
As he said this, Lu Wu had a rather playful smile on his face.
Ke Tu had some embarrassment on his face, and was even more shocked in his heart.
That's it for Ou Fang and Lu Zhiqi. The literary one is Wen Yi, an important strategist left to him by his father, Gongzi Yuan, and his right-hand man in the court.
Just yesterday he and Wen Yi had a secret discussion in Wang Ting's study. No one else was present except a few confidants. How did Lu Wu know that Wen Yi insisted on killing Lu Wu in the name of justice?
"The Wen Daozhi——" Ke Tu said bravely.
Lu Wu sneered: "Brother Ke Tu, don't push yourself too far - since this person talks about justice, let him die for justice.
I don’t need you to kill him, I just want you to tell him that Lu swears that as long as his whole family dies together, I will exchange the five southern prefectures for the five Jiangnan counties. If he refuses to die, the deal will be void. ——Since he talks about righteousness, I want to see if this person is willing to sacrifice his life for the country of Wu. "
In the name of righteousness, it is easy to let others die, but Lu Wu wanted to see if the other person was willing to die for righteousness.
If the other party refuses to show dignity, Lu Wu doesn't mind helping.
"This, this, this -" Ke Tu's heart was at war with heaven and man, and it was really difficult to make a decision.
"Tu'er, what are you still hesitating about? This is a golden opportunity. If Wen Daozhi knew about this, his whole family would die happily!" The carriage door was pushed open, General Luo Gan stepped into the carriage and said loudly.
"Grandpa!" Ke Tu said in surprise.
"General Lu, since Luo has done such an unjust thing, I will sacrifice his life to compensate you. I just ask General Lu, for the sake of Tu'er's loyalty, to take care of Tu'er for a few years and let him sit still." It'll be fine if you take the big seat." As soon as Luo Gan finished speaking, he drew his sword and wiped it on his neck.
"Zheng!"
The long sword stopped in front of Luo Gan's neck, unable to move for a moment, but Lu Wu made a move from the distance, held the long sword, and stopped Luo Gan from killing himself.
Lu Wu's Nine Nether Sea Qi is indeed not as powerful as the martial arts master's innate Qi, but it is far superior to other innate Qi. It cannot be said to be invincible, but it is not difficult to melt iron into gold in three steps.
So Lu Wu put his five fingers together and turned the long sword in Luo Gan's hand into pieces in the air.
"Old man, don't even think about dragging me into this." Lu Wu looked unhappy: "You do what you have to do yourself - I have worked hard for so long, I should have enjoyed some happiness."
Luo Gan: "General Lu, are you serious about what you said?"
"Nonsense, if you weren't always looking for trouble, I would still be enjoying the blessings in Wutong Village."
"Uh--is it serious that General Lu wants to replace the five Jiangnan counties with the land of the Five Prefectures?" Luo Gan still couldn't believe it.
"Who wants to run around and work outside all day? I don't care about killing people, but being forced to kill people all day long is too hard." Lu Wu said lazily.
Lu Wu had conquered the five southern mansions in the past few months, and his desire to kill had long been satisfied. After being injured, he unknowingly began to enter a period of fatigue.
Moreover, because of his weak foundation, the hidden danger of insufficient talents among his subordinates was gradually exposed. Although Qiutong Jinju and others studied hard, they promoted many close associates. Even women such as Ye Ying and Li He had positions in Zhechong Division. , but still had to use local nobles to operate the administrative agency.
The war is still going on. As long as the war stops, these aristocratic families have deep local roots and are well-connected with people. Sooner or later, they will be able to eclipse Qiutong and others - this is a matter of ability.
Nowadays, apart from nobles, even wealthy businessmen are not qualified to be educated in political skills.
Unless Lu Wu personally takes charge and completely governs the country with iron-blooded military law.
And Lu Wu only wanted to live forever, so how could he have the time to govern?
During these days of fighting and killing, there were many dangers. Lu Wu was already distressed to death when he used up some of the Nine Nether Mysterious Gang that he had saved over the past ten years.
Jiuyou Xuangang is no better than the evil spirit of Huang Quan. Lu Wu cannot obtain it directly. He can only decompose it bit by bit when extracting the evil spirit of Huang Quan. It is accumulated bit by bit like a needle cutting iron. It is necessary to use it to cultivate Xuan Guang and cast gold. The pass of Dan must not be wasted.
Compared to casting a golden elixir for immortality, the land of the Five Prefectures in the South is nothing!
It’s not like there’s no way ahead, so I have to go out and look for opportunities. Isn’t it bad to just stay behind and slowly develop?
It would be much simpler to switch to the five southern counties.
With fewer people and more land, food is harvested twice a year, and food is the first priority for the people. This has a stable foundation.
Then uproot the local nobles and replace them with their own people - in the five southern prefectures, Lu Wu's men are prone to selfish motives and are attracted by others, but in the five Jiangnan counties, these people are unfamiliar with the place, who can they rely on if they don't rely on themselves?
When the time comes, let my father develop business, and let Qiutong and the other five women manage the military and political affairs to work for him. The eldest brother and the second brother can also be helped by the Fengqing family to manage the country, and they can live as equals and live forever. This is no better than fighting in Chu State. Is it much better to be beaten to death?
You know, even if you really unite Yan and Qi to destroy the Chu State, you will have to border the two more powerful countries of Yan and Qi, and it will be impossible to maintain peace.
This kind of hard life has no end in sight. How can you have time to enjoy it and pursue immortality at the same time?
Anyone with a normal mind will know how to choose.
