Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 96
Luo Guozhong was busy dealing with the funeral of Ji Lingjun. The importance of this hundred-year-old ancestor to Luo Guo was beyond imagination.

Moreover, this old ancestor also requested to be buried in Luo's ancestral land, beside King Su, which involved a lot of manpower and material resources of Luo.

According to the previous instructions of his aunt and grandmother, Luo Zhi began to investigate the deployment of troops and the situation of food and grass in various countries, and then began to contact Qi State, the traditional ally of Luo State, to re-activate the power of the Ji-Jiang Alliance to prepare for the upcoming changes.

On the battlefield between Zheng State and Chen State, the two countries had been stalemate for less than ten months, Zheng State broke through Chen State Wanqiu, and rushed wantonly in Chen State's territory, driving Chen State's army towards Lucheng along the way.

Zheng Houchan laughed loudly and said: "Chen Guo is so unbearable, it seems that they can't wait for Chu State to come back to restore the country.

Such a fertile land is in the hands of Chen Guo, it is the injustice of the heavens.

Annex the entire territory of Chen State, exterminate Chen State's official office, and then contact Qi State to destroy Song State. Can Zheng State not become the overlord? "

Zheng Houchan even wanted to dominate in his dreams.

At this time, the army of Song State set out from Shangqiu and had already crossed the border between Song and Chen. Zheng Guo's spies naturally got the news.

Zheng Guojun and his ministers were a little surprised by the appearance of Song Guo.

The State of Song is not a small country like the State of Chen. The land of the State of Song is very fertile and its population is twice that of the State of Zheng.

Isn't Song Guo worried about Qi and Luo going south?
It was unexpected that he dared to transfer so many troops to the territory of Chen State. "

Seeing the army of Song State appearing, Zheng Houchan felt a little bit withdrawn, and since he had rescued Zheng Ji from Wanqiu, he wanted to return to Zheng State.

But once the war starts, it cannot be stopped by the will of one or two people. If he dares to return the land of Chen Guo now, these officials will kill him immediately.

Unable to retreat, but not confident in defeating Song, Zheng Chan said hesitantly, "Song is powerful, and our army has no advantage in Chen. If we ask Luo to borrow troops, then Song will definitely retreat."

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were said, almost all the senior officials in the barracks said in unison: "No!"

What a joke, ask Luo Guo for help, Zheng Guo saved them, and they were directly dismissed, which they cannot accept.

Seeing the refusal of the officials, Zheng Chan lamented: "Luo is no good, and Jin is naturally even more so. Jin has become more and more rampant these years, and Ying is weak. Together, they are not Song and Chen's opponents. Who else can we look for?" Woolen cloth?

Is it Qi?The two countries of Zheng and Qi don't have much contact with each other, and Qi is corrupt, so they may not be willing to send troops. "

Guoqing benefited the most from the attack on Chen this time, so he was naturally unwilling to give up. He turned his eyes and came out and said: "My lord, it is the royal family who can help Zheng Guo and has the strength to help Zheng Guo!"

"The royal family?"

Everyone was stunned, the royal family had no sense of existence, the affairs of the world had always been the agency between the great powers, no one paid attention to the existence of the royal family at all.

But after thinking about it, it is indeed very suitable. Although the royal family is inconspicuous, its strength is actually very good. Naturally, it is far from being comparable to a big country like Jinchu, but it is naturally stronger than Chen Guolai.

The transportation from Zheng Guo to Luoyi is also very convenient, so the royal family will send troops very quickly.

Moreover, the royal family is the co-lord of the world after all, so the name is completely different. The royal family sends troops, and then unites with the Ying country, so that the strength between the two parties will be almost the same.

The more people thought about it, the more appropriate it became. Zheng Chan said excitedly: "But how do we persuade the royal family to send troops? I'm afraid the emperor is unwilling to do things that are not beneficial."

Guo Qing said with a smile: "A few years ago, when I paid tribute to Luoyi, I knew that the emperor likes chariots, horses, jade and beauties, but how can the royal family's property be enough for him to squander?

You can bribe him with these things, and then cede three cities for him, and provide him with taxes continuously. This will definitely allow him to send troops, and the ceded cities will be replenished from Chen Guozhong.

In this way, the land of Chen State is used to invite the royal family to send troops, but Zheng State benefits. Is there anything more wonderful than this? "

Zheng Guojun and his ministers laughed one after another, and the air was full of joy.

So Zheng Houchan sent envoys from Xinzheng City to Luoyi with a large amount of goods, where Zheng Guoxian and the coalition forces of Song and Chen confronted each other.

The [-] army of Zheng State came out of the country, divided into several groups, supplementing each other head to tail, and each group acted according to the banner. The [-] army of Song State and the [-] defeated army of Chen State converged together. Gather up the defeated soldiers, the number of them exceeds that of Zheng Guo's army.

The previous war between Zheng and Chen did not cause a lot of casualties, basically they were defeated directly, and then Zheng's army looted.

The cloud of war hangs over Lucheng, Song State tried to make a final effort, and sent envoys to Zheng State's army camp, "Marquis Zheng, heaven has the virtue of good life, and mortals should abide by it.

Song Guo is not willing to go to war with your country. If you are willing to withdraw from Chen Guo's land, Song Guo is willing to let Chen Guo cede the city for you. "

Zheng Houchan asked with some pride in his eyes: "Doctor from the Song Dynasty, if you got a wild boar from hunting, would you eat it in a day?"

The envoy of the Song Dynasty was a little puzzled. He didn't know why Zheng Houchan asked such a question suddenly, but he still said: "The wild boar is too big to eat."

Zheng Houchan laughed loudly and said, "If you got a pheasant, you would eat it.

Chen Guo is not a wild boar, but a pheasant. After eating only a few cities, Zheng Guohui will be hungry. Please report to Song Gong and quit Chen Guo. The 700-year friendship between Zheng Guo and Song Guo should not be due to the humble Chen Guo. country and destroy it. "

Zheng Houchan's words are very obvious. Zheng State is a big country, while Chen State is a small country. Now Zheng State wants all the land of Chen State, and the envoys of Song State finally left here.

When Song Gong and Chen Hou heard the news, Chen Hou immediately cursed loudly, "Chen Guo was established 700 years ago as a Marquis, and Zheng Guo was promoted to Marquis only 500 years ago, and he is so rebellious!"

Chen Hou was really afraid in his heart, which is why he was so hysterical. Song Gong comforted him: "Chen Hou should not be so flustered. Since Zheng Hou is so rebellious, then the Song and Chen coalition forces will teach him a lesson. When Tu seeks peace, you can humiliate him as much as you like."

The envoys of the State of Zheng had already arrived at Wangji, Luoyi, and the envoys of the State of Luo were on their way to the State of Qi. The nobles of the State of Qi stationed on the border of the Qi and Song Dynasties noticed the changes in the State of Song and reported to Linzi.

……

The appearance of Zheng Ji was accidental, but due to the advancement of social productivity and the explosive growth of the population of various countries, it is inevitable that countries will annex each other, so it is unreasonable to attribute the crime of war to her.

But no matter what, the Zheng-Chen war caused by Zheng Ji became the fuse of a series of incidents, which completely tore apart the real situation that Luo Guo tried to cover up, and the irreconcilable contradiction was exposed to everyone in the world. ——"The History of the Rise and Fall of the Zhou Dynasty"
