Everyone was happy, but An Lujie's expression became serious.
An Lujie was a little worried. Looking at the scene in front of him, these people seemed to have completely forgotten them. They also had credit for this battle.
Could it be that Zhou Heng wants to cross the river and tear down the bridge?
Just when An Lujie was worried, Zhou Heng looked at An Lujie.
"General An!"
Zhou Heng shouted.
"Your Majesty."
An Lujie immediately reacted, his expression was startled, and he looked up at Zhou Heng. Zhou Heng had a smile on his face and a peaceful expression.
"At the beginning, when I, Da Zhou, Northern Qi, and the Zhao State Alliance jointly conquered the Northern Wei Dynasty, we said that we would divide the Northern Wei Dynasty equally. The Zhao State turned its back on what it said, and now it is only me and Da Zhou. How about we divide the Northern Wei Dynasty equally?"
Zhou Heng asked An Lujie what he meant, An Lujie didn't expect Zhou Heng to mention this matter, and he didn't forget it.
An Lujie was indeed shocked by Zhou Heng's courage. The Northern Wei Dynasty had a vast territory, and no one would share it with others, but Zhou Heng did.
"Really?"
An Lujie asked.
"The Son of Heaven will never break his promise. Since we have agreed, I, Zhou Heng, will do it. If I promise to divide the Northern Wei Dynasty equally, then we will divide it equally."
Zhou Heng said calmly.
"An Lujie, the emperor will not break his promise." Xu Xianghu said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." An Lujie said gratefully, he was really touched.
"Since the general agrees, let's discuss this matter in three days. During this period, you ask Bei Qi to send envoys over, so how about we discuss it?"
Zhou Heng asked An Lujie what he meant. After all, the matter of the equal share was of great importance, and he needed to think about it carefully.
An Lujie was taken aback.
"Your Majesty, this matter is up to you." An Lujie immediately replied after hearing Zhou Heng's words, as if he was worried about what would happen in three days, and An Lujie looked impatient.
An Lujie took out the imperial decree of the Northern Qi Emperor, and it was true that An Lujie was fully responsible for this matter.
"An Lujie, you are too impatient, aren't you worried that I will break my promise?"
Li Xingba asked with a smile, I can't afford to wait for these three days, it's too anxious.
"My Northern Qi army is exhausted from fighting all the way, I just hope to end these things as soon as possible!" An Lujie explained with a smile.
Listening to An Lujie's words, Zhou Heng smiled lightly.
It seems that he didn't take An Lujie's eagerness to heart. Whether An Lujie believed them or not, Zhou Heng didn't care about these things.
"Okay, take the map of the Northern Wei Dynasty!"
Zhou Heng is also a straightforward person. Since you have to make a decision now, I will make it for you now without any hesitation.
The map is presented.
This is a huge cowhide map, on which is the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
"How does the general think we divide equally?" Zhou Heng asked An Lujie what he meant, whether it was an equal division between east and west or north and south. Zhou Heng gave An Lujie the right to choose.
"Your Majesty, how about we still divide it equally?"
An Lujie asked Zhou Heng back.
Zhou Heng's eyes froze, and he raised the knife in his hand, and divided the map of the Northern Wei Dynasty into two, but Zhou Heng did not divide it equally, one was small and the other was large. Big on the left, small on the right.
An Lujie was surprised, did Zhou Heng want a big one?
Just when An Lujie was puzzled, Zhou Heng picked up the big map and handed it to An Lujie.
"General, this is your Northern Qi territory. I, Zhou Heng, will do what I say and will never treat my allies badly." Zhou Heng said as he handed over the large map to An Lujie.
An Lujie was a little dazed and didn't understand.
"this?"
"Take it."
Zhou Heng said domineeringly.
Seeing that Zhou Heng was so strong, the generals also persuaded An Lujie not to hesitate, since Zhou Heng had already given it, then take it.
This is a good thing that the pie in the sky is falling.
"Thank you."
Under everyone's persuasion, An Lujie accepted the map.
An Lujie left.
Li Xingba and others looked at Zhou Heng again, with puzzled expressions on their faces. Everyone became curious when Zhou Heng and An Lujie divided up the Northern Wei Dynasty.
I don't understand why Zhou Heng handed over the big one to An Lujie. You must know that they are the main force in this battle, and they are the ones who restrained the main force of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Northern Qi just took a ride.
"Why? Curious about why I did this?" Zhou Heng asked everyone with a smile on his face. Everyone was curious, how could Zhou Heng not know.
Territory is bought by the blood and sacrifices of soldiers, and every inch of land must be fought for, but Zhou Heng is so heroic and arrogant at this time, and with one sword, he gave most of the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Northern Qi Dynasty. Why is this?
"That's right, I don't understand, but your majesty must have your own reasons for doing this."
Feng Zheng said, what Zhou Heng said was correct, they really couldn't understand why Zhou Heng did this, but Zhou Heng must have his own reasons for doing so.
So when Zhou Heng went down with a sword, everyone didn't ask questions or stop or persuade, but followed Zhou Heng's words.
"Yes, please enlighten the emperor."
Everyone hoped that Zhou Heng could tell them the real reason.
"good."
Zhou Heng turned around and walked up to the high platform, and sat on Emperor Wei Wu's dragon chair.
"Are you all curious?"
"yes."
Everyone nodded, everyone was indeed very curious.
"Then let me tell you slowly that the seven kingdoms coexist, and there is no real alliance between the seven kingdoms. There is only mutual interest. In the northern border of my Great Zhou, there are three kingdoms, Northern Wei, Northern Qi, and Zhao. Now the Northern Wei Dynasty is controlled by us. If they are destroyed, our next opponents will be Zhao Guo and Bei Qi."
Zhou Heng told everyone his thoughts. After listening to Zhou Heng's words, everyone felt that what Zhou Heng said made sense. The Northern Wei Dynasty was destroyed, and Zhao Guo and Bei Qi would follow.
"I gave most of the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Northern Qi. First, I wanted to bring disaster to the east. Although I was the first to conquer the Northern Wei Dynasty in this battle, the final winner was the Northern Qi. What do you think everyone thinks?" Zhou Heng smiled. Ask everyone.
Once this result comes out, everyone will forget who was the first to conquer the Northern Wei Dynasty, and everyone's eyes will be on who wins in the end and who gets the most benefit.
Now it seems that the Northern Qi, whether it is the Seven Kingdoms or the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty, will turn their hatred to the Northern Qi, so as to give them a breathing space during the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"A clever plan."
Marble said.
Zhou Heng just used the territory to divert all the attention to Bei Qi, which is indeed a good way.
"The strategy is good, but the final general still feels a little pity that such a large territory is just ceded to Northern Qi." Li Ke said with some distress.
The territory that An Lujie took away was at least half of that of the Northern Qi Dynasty. With such a large area, the Northern Qi Dynasty expanded in an instant, and its vast territory was completely comparable to that of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
"Yes, brother, are you being too ruthless in this matter?"
Li Xingba asked, even if Zhou Heng was scheming against Northern Qi, he wouldn't be bleeding so much. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
