Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 36 The World Situation
With the power of the royal family withdrawing from the land of Fenghao, now the power of the surname Ying in the land of Sanhe is too strong, Luo Cheng naturally wants to make some arrangements here.

Not only do they have the motivation to fight Xirong to the death, but they can't let their strength completely expand so that they don't take the royal family in their eyes.

Qin Bo is one of his most important pieces in the West.

Ji Fu's current wife candidate, Luo Cheng has not yet selected.

But Qin's direct daughter can be one of the wives, which is a great honor for Qin who has just become a prince.

Among the western princes, although the surname Ying is the dominant one, just like the surname Ji, the surname Ying has long been divided.

In particular, the sudden establishment of the Qin State had a great impact on the gradually declining vassal states of the Xu State.

Qinyi, which made the Fei, was originally a small territory of less than [-] li, but after obtaining a quarter of the Shenguo, it suddenly closed the country for more than [-] li, most of which are still well-populated and developed land. .

This suddenly became the second strongest force after Fei Hou among the feudal lords in the western countries.

In Fengcheng and Haojing, the two most crucial cities, Luo Cheng did not let any of the foreign princes get involved. He put this piece of land where the previous kings were buried and let the five princes and nobles in the country jointly control it.

Luoyi sends people to inspect the output of this land every year. If Luoyi cannot provide enough gold, silver, grain and silk, they will be punished for their sins.

After some adjustments, a balance between the feudal feudal lords, the Fei Kingdom, and the Qin Kingdom was formed in the west of Hangu Pass. At the same time, there were those Rong people who were all over the mountains and plains between them.

The energy of the princes will be vented to those Rong people, and there is no energy to peep east.

Luo Cheng is very satisfied with this arrangement. Unless a certain force appears from generation to generation, there will be bloody battles for hundreds of years.

"Uncle Qin, do you know why Gu is seeing you alone?"

Luo Cheng stood on the beacon tower and looked west.

The rapidly undulating mountains and babbling rivers, the desolation on the ancient road, a few months later, the boundless fallen trees fell, and Haojing was located in this land of abundance.

"Luo Gong, I don't know."

When summoned by Luohou alone, Qin Bozaofei was in a state of sincerity and fear. He didn't even dare to use the self-proclaimed loneliness of the princes, and directly called himself a to express his humility.

Luo Cheng raised his finger and pointed into the distance, and asked, "Uncle Qin, look over here, what do you see?"

Hearing Luo Cheng's question, Zao Fei raised his eyes and said, "Luo Gong, it's mountains and rivers."

Luo Cheng didn't speak, and Qin Bo didn't even dare to breathe.

After a while, I heard Luo Cheng say faintly: "This is the ancestral temple of Bangzhou.

King Wu was appointed here by Chengtian, and King Su was here to regent and supervise the country.

Now, it does not belong to Zhou Ren. "

Qin Bo broke down in a cold sweat, and said quickly, "Luo Gong, this is still the place where Bang Zhou's house is located. How can it not belong to Zhou people?"

Luo Cheng waved his hand and said casually, "The West has not appointed princes appointed by the king for many years.

Now the land of Fenghao is withered, and the Rong people come and go at will.

Isn't it a disgrace to all the nations of the Xia Dynasty that the divine artifact has been made like this?
If we can't handle it properly, the ancestors and spirits will also be ashamed for us.

Uncle Qin, who has outstanding martial arts skills and great meritorious service, is the best person to handle this matter.

Gu is going to hand over this position to you, and the will of the imperial seal will be handed over to you before Gu leaves. "

Uncle Qin was startled, a little happy, and a little worried.

The princes appointed by the king are the same as the dukes. This is definitely the highest status among the princes in the west.

If this position works well, it can bring countless benefits to the nascent Qin state.

The downside is also obvious. The Qin state is just a newborn country, and getting such a big reward will definitely attract the jealousy of others.

Although he has obtained a quarter of the land of Shen State, the background of Qin State is still too poor.

Among the countries in the west, only the clan countries that belonged to the same surname Ying had the old nobles like Feihou who were stronger than him.

If Feihou attacked Qin because of jealousy, the outcome would be uncertain.

But Uncle Qin was a strong man who really came out of the bloody storm, and these concerns were only briefly passed, and then he solemnly saluted and said decisively: "Luo Gong, your grace is higher than the sky.

A certain will not live up to your expectations, the ancestral temple of Bangzhou will always stand on the land of Fenghao. "

Luo Cheng smiled and didn't take it seriously. The land fell into the hands of these princes. How could it be possible to get it back without a war?
However, the land in the hands of the various Xia kingdoms is at least much stronger than in the hands of the Rong people.

"Don't take it lightly, there have been repeated natural disasters, and the land of Fenghao is not as good as in previous years. If the Zhou people cannot survive, you must report it in time and send it to Luoyi."

"Luo Gong, I understand."

Luo Cheng pointed to Hangu Pass, the most important gateway to the east, and said: "Uncle Qin, within 20 years, I will see Twelve Liancheng from there.

The purpose is to guard against Xirong, you are the princes of Zhenxi, and you can do the things you need to contact the princes.

The Orphan Society sent the second son as the construction envoy. This is the most important thing, you must be careful. "

Of course, these twelve cities are not only used to guard against Xirong, but also used to guard against the western princes.

Luo Cheng believed that in the war between the western princes and the Rong people, one of them would eventually become bigger.

If before the final winner is decided, the royal family completes the revival through Luoyi Wangji, naturally they can enter Hangu Pass and regain control of Fenghao Wangji.

In case the royal family fails to accumulate the power to return to the ancestral land, at least ensure that the power in the west does not go east.

Hangu Pass is the most important passage for the army between Luoyi and Haojing.

As long as you can hold on to this place, whether it's going east or west, it's all in one thought.

Qin Bo knew that this was not a good job, but he also knew that he could not refuse.

Luo Cheng asked him to be the prince of Zhenxi, just to let him fight with the Rong people and with the princes, so that the entire Hangu Pass could not be calmed down to the west.

What he didn't see was that Luo Cheng had another purpose.

Building the pass requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and it can be scraped from the fat and oily feudal lords. These wastes can't fight, they can only be corrupt.

It's better to give it to the princes outside the country to make up their bodies. At least these princes outside the country are still strong enough to fight with Xirong.

……

Luo Cheng's carriage passed through Hangu Pass. He opened the curtain and took a last look, and sighed, "It's really a wonderful country. I don't know when the descendants of the Luo family will be able to return to their ancestral land."

Originally, Luo Cheng had to stay in Haojing for a while, but Luoyi had received many letters asking Luo Cheng to rush back as soon as possible.

In this case, Luo Cheng is ready to return to Luoyi and start to build a new ruling system. After the war and the crisis of moving the capital, the original ruling order can no longer be applied to the present.

After returning to Luoyi Wangji, Luo Cheng hurriedly changed into court clothes and rushed to the palace.

It was relatively prosperous along the way. After many years, the king of Zhu Xia returned here, and the vast land was full of vitality again.

Walking into the palace, Ji Fu dressed in the emperor's mian robe and waited for him early. When he met Luo Cheng, he said happily: "Luo Gong, you are finally back. The widow misses you very much."

"Your Majesty, this minister misses you very much. Where are Duke Jin and Duke Zheng?" Ji Fu used Luohou, Jinhou and Zhenghou as the assistants of the three Dukes, so he respectfully called him Duke.

"The Marquis of Nanshen sent an envoy, saying that there was military intelligence, and Duke Jin went to meet him."

"Song State and Chen State also sent messengers to say that Xu Huai had a change, and Duke Zheng went to meet him."

Just as he was talking, Duke Jin and Duke Zheng came to the hall, "Luo Gong, I was just about to report the situation of the two parties to the king, and you just came back."

"What's going on with Duke Jin, Duke Zheng, Hanyang and Xu Huai?"

Duke Jin knelt down on his seat and said, "Nan Shenguo said that the Chu country has penetrated in the direction of Ba, and its strength has become stronger and stronger over the years.

Some time ago, he contacted the Hanyang Five Kingdoms to attack Chu, and finally returned without success, which made him feel that the situation was not good, so he reported to Wang Ji. "

The state of Chu has been disobedient to Bang Zhou since Xiong Su, and although he later became a vassal, he left behind the reputation of "Chu disobeys Zhou".

"The ancestor Luowen Gong initially established the Hanshui Five Kingdoms, and later re-established the Hanyang Four Concubine.

The successive dynasties of the Luo clan have strengthened the feudal lords surnamed Ji on the Hanyang Plain, all to contain Chu and Huaiyi.

After a little relaxation over the years, the state of Chu probably will not let it go.

When the king moved back to Luoyi, the strengthening of Hanyang Zhuji should also be put on the agenda.

But after all, Chu State is one of the kingdoms of the various Xia kingdoms. As long as he does not invade the Central Plains, Bangzhou's main energy will still be on the Yidi. "

The current Hanyang Zhuji is no longer the four kingdoms of the Luosu period, but contains more than a dozen vassal states.

Among these vassal states, Shen, Tang, Sui, and Ba surrounded Chu from the east, north, and west.

The State of Xi, State of Ying, State of Xu, State of Fang, State of Shen, State of Cai, State of Chen was to guard against the Huai Yi.

These princes and in-laws surnamed Ji firmly guarded all the main traffic routes from Chu and Huaiyi to the Central Plains.

With the support of Wang Ji and the countries of the Central Plains, this line of defense has so far been unbreakable.

Duke Zheng nodded and said, "Not only the Chu country, but also the Huaiyi side.

The development of Wu and Yue in recent years has been very good, leading many southern countries to start to migrate north.

These people have the customs of Yin and Shang, and they are mixed with the Ying surname Fang Guo of Xu Huai's land, and their hearts are a little confused.

Song Guo was probably worried about Wang Ji's accountability, so he reported the news.

Chen Guo said that he found that Huaiyi was transporting troops, and it seemed that he was preparing to send troops to our country Zhou.

If Xu Guo and Huaiyi raise troops together, the entire southeast will be plunged into war, and it may be necessary to raise the army of the world again. "

Yin Shang survivors!

Even though more than 200 years have passed, this term can still stir the heartstrings of all princes surnamed Ji. Facing the survivors of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, everything else is trivial.

Xu State was the eastern Fangbo in the Yin and Shang times, similar to Bang Zhou's position in the West.

Therefore, Bang Zhou's attitude towards Xu Guo has been very cautious since the founding of the country, and in order to suppress his status, he only granted Xu Guo Guo the title of gentleman, which is an obvious suppression.

There are also a lot of Ji surnamed countries on the west and north sides of Xu State to monitor Xu State's actions.

"What an eventful time!"

Luo Cheng sorted out his thoughts and said, "Since King Mu's time, Master Wang has been defeated in a row, so now he can only turn to defense.

There are currently barbarian threats in all directions in Bangzhou, and all the states established by the previous kings have been attacked. This is not allowed.

The most serious Xi Rong is handed over to the princes surnamed Ying, so there is no need to worry in a hundred years.

The second is the Rong of Yiluo, which mainly relies on the Marquis of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the Duke of Jin can also go south to clean up.

But Duke Jin, you still have to face the Bai Di on the plateau, and the Chi Di in the east, so you may not be able to make a move for the time being. "

Jin Gong nodded and said, "Luo Gong, you are right. Jin needs to go through several vassal states to attack the Rong of Yiluo in the south, which is not conducive to fighting."

"Your Majesty, Jin's position is very dangerous.

If Jin is not strong, Wang Ji's safety may not be guaranteed, and the royal family must give Jin more support.

If necessary, it is necessary to support the Jin State to integrate the strength of the entire basin, and the surrounding small states are relocated to other places. "

Luo Cheng's move to strengthen Jin was not only because of the exchange of interests that he had promised before, but because he believed that the current situation really required several powerful princes surnamed Ji to guard the Quartet.

Divided, the strength is scattered, and the combined strength is strong. Now the strength of the entire state and week is in a weak state after the civil strife.

To guard against the sinister situation of the barbarians' counterattack against the various nations of the Zhu Xia, it is impossible to play a balance game in the Central Plains, and the Zhu Xia are not strong enough to ignore the barbarians.

Now all the princes must be united, and the surrounding barbarians must be crippled first.

Although making the princes bigger is a strategy to quench thirst with poison, Luo Cheng can only do this.

Taking this opportunity, Luo Cheng took a map and explained his strategy to Ji Fu.

"Your Majesty, look at the entire Central Plains region from Hangu Pass to the east, among which Jin, Yan, Qi, Song, Chen, Wei, Luo, and Zheng are the most important vassal states.

Among these eight kingdoms, on the surface, there are five princes surnamed Ji, but in fact, the state of Yan is supported by the state of Qi, otherwise it would have been defeated by Shan Rong.

The Wei Kingdom, as well as the Han Kingdom and Xing Kingdom in the north, are all supported by the Luo Kingdom, which relies on ministers.

There are only three major states of Jin, Zheng and Luo.

But the country of the three ministers is not as strong as Qi and Song. Fortunately, Qi has always been on our side, otherwise the power of the princes in the Central Plains would have been out of balance.

The state of Jin was in a basin to the north of Wang Ji, and it was difficult to support it alone.

The lonely Luo country supports Wei, Hand, and Xing three countries, and it is also very difficult.

After all, the Song and Chen states are princes with different surnames, and who can rest assured that they are placed on the front line of resisting Xu and Huaiyi? "

Ji Fu has a soft and kind personality, commonly known as soft-hearted. Luo Cheng said this, and he felt very reasonable.

So he hurriedly asked: "Luo Gong, it seems that the world is really in danger.

What should the widow do to ensure Bang Zhou's destiny? "

"Your Majesty, there are hundreds of vassal states in the world. You only need to pay attention to Jin State, Zheng State, Qi State, and Luo State. By ensuring the strength and stability of these four vassal states, the royal family will be stable."

This means that Zhenghou is in front of him, otherwise Luo Cheng will only talk about the three kingdoms of Jin, Qi and Luo. He believes that as long as the strength of these three countries can be guaranteed, and then to the south of Luoyi to support the princesses of Hanyang, the security and status of the royal family There is no problem.

"Luo Gong, the widow understands."

Although Wang Ji's power is now in Luo Cheng's hands, the attitude of the emperor is also very important.

……

There has always been a point of view that since the ancestors of the Qin state were canonized by him and expanded with his support, the policy of the Central Plains princes to become great also came from his hands. Duke Luo Xuan was the gravedigger of the Zhou Dynasty.

But this is a typical way of looking at the problem out of reality. In fact, these policies at that time solved the situation of the Zhou royal family's domestic and foreign difficulties very well. - "The Rise and Fall of the Zhou Dynasty"

　Although Acheng's ability is not as good as that of his ancestors, he has to be a little bright, or he is not worthy of the identity of the third regent.

　　In addition, the effect of the God Talisman has been modified, and I feel that it is not worthy of the Profound Rank card, so its negative effect has been removed.

　　Xuanjie·God Fighting Talisman (by my order, clear the world): Use this talisman to increase the force, command, and military strategy to 99, with a time limit of four hours.
