As usual, read the documentation. Did you read the link
https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/lxc.html#lxc-network that I sent
earlier?

If yes, you'd have noticed this line
"
Another is to bridge the host's network interfaces (see the Ubuntu Server
Guide's Network Configuration chapter, Bridging
<https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/network-configuration.html#bridging>
)
"

which links to
https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/network-configuration.html#bridging
. Have you read that? The answer to your question is there. Short version:
don't specify IP address on eth0.
