Lu Songli has always known that power will not disappear, but will only be transferred.
No matter where they are placed, the four brothers of the Qin family can control the local military power.
However, the Qin family was suppressed by their status as exiles and could not take power, but it didn't matter, her father would do it.
Wouldn't it be over if her father took over the power zone they vacated?
After Qin Heng was shocked, he took half a cup of tea to calm down.
He looked at the calm-looking sixth brother and sister and said with a wry smile, "Sixth brother and sister, you really shocked me. Does Uncle Lu know about your bold plan?"
"He doesn't know yet, but I will tell my dad. Don't worry, brother, there will definitely be no problem on his side."
Her father had offended too many people for Emperor Kang Cheng's sake. It was okay for a year or two after Emperor Kang Cheng's death. But as time went by, her father was destined to be tricked by others, and the end would definitely not be good.
Therefore, she did this to earn a living for her father.
"Too bold!" Qin Heng couldn't help but say this.
"Brother, I am forced to have no choice." Lu Songli then briefly mentioned her father's situation in order to achieve empathy.
"Let's not talk about me and my father. Let me ask my eldest brother, do you want the Qin family to be the meat on the Song Dynasty's chopping board for generations to come? I won't talk about the ancestors of the Qin family before, just take the father-in-law and the fourth generation. For Brother Wu, are their deaths worth it?"
Qin Heng fell silent during her rhetorical question.
"The other thing is, when we go to Houcheng, we are facing danger, but brother, are we absolutely safe if we stay in the Xiangping military camp?"
Is it okay to stay in the military camp of Xiangping, farm the land, break stones, and build city walls? Quietly waiting for the new emperor's amnesty in Chang'an City?
Lu Songli felt that it was more dangerous. For example, this time Tuoba Company attacked Liaoyang. Where will the Xianbei army attack next time? Without soldiers under their command, the Qin brothers are only a little stronger than ordinary people, let alone protecting so many family members.
At least after going to Houcheng, the Qin family brothers can join the army. Even if they don't have titles in the army, it doesn't matter. If they have the ability, they will win over a large number of followers.
Think about the origin of the term "uncrowned king". In the military, strength is the most convincing. In the face of strength, military rank is nothing.
Lu Songli has a deep need to control her own life. She prefers to take the initiative and control the situation instead of waiting for others to control her life.
Listening to her analysis, Qin Heng understood that both the Qin family and the Lu family must be prepared. Otherwise, there will really be a disaster.
The sooner you make such preparations, the better.
Lu Songli: "Brother, my decision will not be wrong. If we secretly control Hou City, we can at least keep our Qin and Lu families safe."
Separately occupy Houcheng and encroach on Liaodong County. From this point, you can advance to attack and retreat to defend. As for what to do next, let’s see how the general trend of the world develops. Anyway, in the early stage, the focus was on the word "gou".
When Qin Heng thinks of the sacrifices of his ancestors, especially the sacrifices of the family helmsmen, he always says, "It's not yet time—"
These words are only passed down to the eldest son and grandson.
So now, is it time?
Qin Heng asked Lu Songli, "Uncle Lu is sure he can be transferred to Houcheng? Have you received the news?"
"I haven't received any news yet, but I'm 50% sure that the place where my father is leaving must be between Wulu County and Houcheng."
Lu Songli had thought before that her father's release should be a foregone conclusion.
Chang'an's letter will arrive later than the official one, but it should arrive.
Based on her understanding of the new emperor Song Mo, the most likely places for her father to be sent out were Houcheng and Wulu County, and even Wangping was eliminated by her.
If it weren't for these two places, her father would definitely make trouble.
Lu Songli's guess was correct. As for Lu Desheng, he had no objection to the dangerous land bordering Xianbei arranged by the new emperor. He can tolerate the new emperor's calculation, but this place cannot be in Liaoxi County or Youbeiping County. It must be arranged in Liaodong County! He must die closest to his daughter.
In Houcheng, the 50-50 chance of opening is still very likely.
"You are not the sixth younger brother and sister. How dare you take a gamble on a 50-50 chance?" Qin Heng didn't even know what to say.
Lu Songli smiled, "Don't miss the opportunity, it will never come back."
Mainly because the opportunity was so good that she couldn't bear to give it up, so she took the Qin family away in advance, whether it was to Houcheng or Wulu County.
"What if Uncle Lu's exile is in Wulu County?" Qin Heng couldn't help but ask.
Lu Songli raised his eyebrows, "What's so difficult about this?" Since they could get rid of the Xiangping military camp first and then the Hou city, why not?
Qin Heng gave her a thumbs up, "Sixth brother and sister, just rely on your own brains."
"This matter should not be made public. I will tell the second and third brothers later that when I go to Houcheng, I will take care of Uncle Lu." Qin Heng told her not to mention any mention of separatist rule in Houcheng.
"Listen to brother." Lu Songli nodded.
Looking at her well-behaved appearance, Qin Heng thought to himself, who would have thought that he, a sixth sibling with a pure and well-behaved face, would actually have ambitions hidden in his body that many men would not even dare to think about?
He once heard the saying that when a person has ability, ambition, courage, and opportunities, it is the right time to become famous and prosperous. It is natural to call the public and the king.
How far can the six younger siblings go?
After talking, the two got up and walked out together.
Qin Heng frowned slightly and said, "After we go to Houcheng, our top priority is to deal with the possible war caused by Tuoba Company."
Lu Songli nodded, "It's all thanks to my brother's troubles."
This is a problem.
In fact, she also understood that it was best not to start a fight, so that they could have time to develop in a wretched manner. But this is inevitable because it is a risk first and an opportunity second. The Qin brothers still need to prepare.
Before they reached the door, Qin Sheng rushed in, "Brother, Lili, are you done talking?"
Lu Songli smiled and said, "Yes, we just finished talking."
Qin Heng looked at him helplessly. Why don't you just pretend and ask what they talked about.
At this moment, Zhou Da drove a carriage to Juntun to see them, and by the way, he sent a letter to Lu Songli.
This is a letter within a letter. The son's letter inside is written by her father. The letter first arrived at Longcheng and then was transferred to Xiangping. The mother's letter was written by Xue Xu.
Lu Songli first read the letter written by her father.
The place where her father was released turned out to be Houcheng!
Joy flashed across Lu Songli's eyes.
She had been betting before, but now that the results were out, she won the bet. Luck is pretty good. Otherwise, she would have to think of another way to get the Qin family to Wulu County.
"Daughter-in-law, what is written in this letter that makes you so happy?" Qin Sheng stepped forward.
"There is good news." Lu Songli put away her father's letter.
Her father also said in the letter that it would be too slow to follow the large army, so he planned to travel with a simple vehicle and lead a small group of people to go ahead and wait until they get to Houcheng. Calculating the time, it should be there soon.
"What good news?"
"My dear father, your father-in-law is going to be sent to Houcheng to serve as an official. Are you happy?"
Qin Sheng groaned first, then nodded under Lu Songli's half-smiling gaze, "Happy, happy."
The rest of the Qin family were very happy when they heard this, because they were about to go to Houcheng. The parents and officials in Houcheng were their relatives and would be of no harm to them.
Qin Heng only felt that the sixth younger brother and sister were really powerful, and her prediction of the situation was quite accurate.
"Second, third, and sixth, come with me. Let's discuss what to do when we get to Houcheng."
Qin Yan and Qin Zhao looked at each other and quickly followed.
Qin Sheng hesitated, wondering what to discuss. He already knew what his elder brother was probably going to say.
Lu Songli said to him, "Go quickly, I have to pack my luggage too."
"Okay." Qin Sheng knew at a glance that his wife was annoyed with him, and said - "Second brother, third brother, wait for me!"
