The dividends of war can make people crazy.

This is very obvious in the Qi army.

The Qi people were not active enough when they had to fight to the death earlier. However, when the war could already declare most of the victory and the Wu Kingdom was almost destroyed, they showed indescribable enthusiasm.

And this kind of enthusiasm is not in the fight, but in the snatch of spoils.

Of course, military achievements are quite important to them, but they are far from being the most important thing. Why is the goal of obtaining military achievements? It is for the benefit.

After all, in the environment like Qi, the aristocratic families are powerful. If they want to be promoted in the court within their country, the credit is icing on the cake, but the more important thing is their origin.

But now, after the collapse of the Wu army, they can almost be regarded as a reward for them. The vast territory of the Wu country is a direct benefit.

In this case, the first option for these families is often to get what they should get first.

This situation occurs almost all the Qi family, including many Qi family who are already considered to be obedient to the Lu family, and is also unbearable.

Lu Chaohe and Weiyun were very angry about this. They did not abide by the orders and were distracted from discipline. They tended to lose their organization after the war. As the commander, they would definitely be very unhappy.

But the more angry one is Lu Qing.

This was almost unbearable for him.

For him, attacking Da Wu and even unifying the world was not for his own desire for power, nor for unification. He hoped to take all the power of the nine immortal kingdoms under the jurisdiction of the system, and to unify the power of the nine kingdoms, that was to deal with those fragments of time, and to integrate the power of the entire world, and to deal with the invasion of gods and demons.

The goal of launching a war is also for this.

When fighting, people will inevitably die, which is also an inevitable sacrifice and price. However, after the war is basically victorious, Lu Qing hopes to retain the vitality of Wu as much as possible, and after taking over, he can play a role as soon as possible.

And what these Qi families are doing now does not meet this point at all.

If they really want to continue doing this, they will leave him a ragged Wu Kingdom, so what are they going to do?

Of course, it can be rebuilt, but the cost is too high.

Lu Qing was furious and sent a message to Lu Chaohe, and clearly sent a letter to Weiyun.

After the two of them received the sign, they had no hesitation and started to act according to Lu Qing's wishes.

This is also a very good opportunity to integrate the power of Qiguo.

In the early days, there were two main reasons not to do this. One was that the situation in Qi was relatively stable at that time, and he was worried that big moves would damage this stability; the other was that Lu Chaohe was able to become this emperor because of the strong pressure from Lu Qing's strength. The Lu family itself had no foundation in Qi and could not have many supporters.

But now, the situation is different.

First of all, it is in a state of war. In this state, it is more convenient to do something extraordinary; in addition, Lu Chaohe has been the emperor for more than ten years. Let’s not talk about how strong his skills are, but he is backed by Yan as a foreign aid. With Weiyun, a master of Dharma, directly supported him in Qi for many years. The most important thing is that Lu Qing’s reputation can be regarded as a father who has been suppressing his life. It will be easy for him to do anything.

He didn't even need to do too much. Among the aristocratic families of Qi, there would naturally be people who knew the times and turned to him.

His status is much more stable than when he first came to power.

The two reasons combined are enough to make Lu Chaohe, with Weiyun's support, do something that was not easy to do before.

After all, there are only four words: Eliminate dissidents.

Be obedient, stay, do things well, and say what it is. The discipline and organization that should be had must not be missing. Otherwise, losing your status, being broken up, and even the entire family will completely lose power, it will be just a matter of one sentence.

Of course there were many rebels, but what followed was a very bloody suppression and purge. On the one hand, there was Weiyun's support, and on the other hand, the thousands of senior monks from Yan State brought by Lan Nuoxing were all Lu Chao and solid backing.

In this wave of cleaning, Lu Chaohe was really not at all merciless.

Within seven days, there were more than 4,000 Qi monks sentenced to death. This number was almost as close to the total number of Qi troops killed on the Yangzhou defense line before.

Moreover, there are many senior monks among them. In a sense, the main goal of this purge operation carried out by Lu Chaohe is to those who are disobedient, who have liked to disobey and have performed very poorly on the battlefield.

And under such a cruel and bloody anti-counterfeiting, the remaining people naturally did not dare to talk more and talk nonsense. In fear, they could only be obedient.

In fact, Lu Qing didn't want to engage in such terrifying politics. But sometimes, if you don't have such a ruthless one, you just can't solve the problem.

Then it is better to have short pain than long pain.

Of course, this incident is not without side effects.

The news will probably cause some uproar when it comes to Qi.

To this end, an army in Yan State, whose main body was composed of a small group of Qingfeng Sect monks and most of the Yunxiao Sect monks, rushed south and entered Qi State. They followed the orders of the Queen of the Great Qi Dynasty, Kong Anyang, and were ready to suppress the domestic situation at any time.

Speaking of Kong Anyang, Lu Qing also trusted this daughter-in-law.

She obviously cherished the throne that was originally completely impossible to have anything to do with her. She was also very smart and could realize that even if the Kong family was really restored, she would not only have nothing to do with the throne, but she would probably not even be able to protect her life.

In the past ten years, she has cooperated with Lu Chaohe very well, and in her mentality, she has also moved closer to the Lu family very clearly. In the middle, she has returned to Yuyan Mountain with Lu Chaohe to pay homage to Lu Qing.

This can also be reflected in the fact that her loyalty is not low in the system and the list of family members.

This time, with the Yan army as foreign aid, although the domestic situation in Qi became very tense for a while, and some chaos occurred in some places, it was still suppressed by Kong Anyang.

As for another thing, there is nothing we can do about it.

The core of the storm is the Qi army that attacked. At present, the Qi army, which is essentially in a state of war, has no way to continue fighting if there is such a big change inside.

There is no need for that. There are enough results to be gained at the moment. It is also a wise thing to temporarily delay the pace of offense and turn to a defensive trend, first solve internal problems, and at the same time consolidate vested results.

And the so-called turn into a defensive situation, and the defender is certainly not the Wu people who have collapsed and are unable to organize it anymore.
