Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 99 Chu State: Central Plains, I am back

Starting from the Land of Yingshui, almost the entire Hanyang Plain is in the hands of the Chu State, but the Chu people have not developed enough here, mainly adopting military garrisons, with very little taxation, mainly to obtain soldiers from here.

The Nanyang Basin, which flows down the Han River, is the core area of ​​the Chu State. There are thousands of miles of fertile soil, and countless farmers work in it.

The state of Chu has not called up soldiers from all over the country for many years. Compared with the previous years, where blood flowed into rivers and corpses piled up, it was like a child playing house.

The Jianghan Plain in the heart of Chu State is the base camp of Chu State. Almost the most elite soldiers come from here, and it also bears more than six floors of food for the entire Chu State.

Yingdu, the royal palace of Chu.

Since they are in a remote place outside the Central Plains, they don't know much about the complex situation in the Central Plains, so the Chu monarchs and ministers felt very strange about the sudden war in the Central Plains.

Before, it had always been some small frictions on the border, at most it was a war between one or two cities.

But now, in such a short period of time, it has developed into a bloody battle among the Three Kingdoms, and even the Emperor Zhou has directly intervened.

It's like two people quarreling and greeting each other's parents and family politely, but suddenly both of them drew their knives out, and bright red blood gushed out, which couldn't be stopped.

"What did Chen Guo do to allow Zheng Guo to attack him with the whole country?
The widow remembers that Zheng Guo has always been a state of disunity, and the Qing clan is constantly fighting with each other, but this time they can act in unison? "

Doctor Chen Guo came here to ask Chu State to send troops, and he was very confident in his heart.

Not only because Chen State is a vassal state of Chu State, but also because he knows the current king of Chu quite well.

This king of Chu was not a prince before, and he was not favored by the previous kings, especially after his mother passed away, he was struggling, and finally survived under the protection of the Xiang family.

He grew up in Xiang's family and studied with Xiang's children, so he crazily worships King Su, and he is a king with a high moral bottom line.

In order to borrow troops, the doctor of the state of Chen disregarded the face of the government of the state of Chen, and directly spread rumors to the king of Chu and cried: "Your Majesty.

Zheng Guo is really deceiving people too much. The previous Marquis of Zheng married Zheng Ji into Chen Guo because Zheng Ji was pregnant with someone's child.

Foreign ministers once heard that Zheng Ji had an affair with his two elder brothers, maybe it was one of them.

Zheng Guo wanted this evil son to become the son of Chen Guo, and finally achieved the goal of annexing Chen Guo. "

Hearing this, the monarchs and ministers of the Chu Kingdom above the main hall all had such expressions, and dirty and messy tricks in the clan of the Ji family are not uncommon.

"The matter of Prince Wu of the Jin State in the past is not as vicious as that of the State of Zheng.

Zheng Ji confused the first king, but the king saw through their plot, so he killed the first king and the child.

Because the state of Zheng is a big country, the king did not dare to kill Zheng Ji, but put her under house arrest in the harem.

Zheng Hou was found out because of the conspiracy, so he was angry and died. This must be God punishing him. "

Doctor Chen Guo directly began to use the art of language to confuse black and white. It cannot be said that Chen Houhu killed his father for beauty, and then eagerly occupied his concubine before his father's corpse.

Regardless of what Chu's monarchs and ministers think in their hearts, even if it is for the sake of face above the history books, they will directly drive him out.

Doctor Chen Guo thoughtfully continued to find reasons for the Chu State to send troops, "The monarch thought that seeing through Zheng Guo's conspiracy was over, but he did not expect that Zheng Houchan was too shameless to use this as a reason to forcibly attack Chen State.

It was obviously their fault, which finally caused the monarch and ministers of the Chen Kingdom to fight each other, but they blamed the reason on the Chen Kingdom, which was all due to the weakness of the Chen Kingdom.

Chen Guo has always treated Chu State submissively, and he is your most loyal vassal. Chu State is the strongest country among the Xias.

You are the same king as Zhou Tianzi. Your brilliance is so vast that it must be able to shine on Chen Guo. "

These words are really affectionate, but speaking of these mediocre things in the palace of Chu State, the monarchs and ministers of Chu State can only look at each other while eating melons.

As expected, the King of Chu was disgusted and said angrily, "Disgusting, disgusting, is this the so-called Zongguo with the surname Ji?
Didn't they always say that Chu State is a barbarian country, why is it even inferior to Chu State? "

Yin Xiangcheng, the order of the state of Chu, sighed with excitement in his tone: "Drunk and dreaming!
Your Majesty, the Luo Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom have jointly wiped out the barbarians in the Central Plains and maintained peace in the Central Plains. They are well protected.

If a country has no external threats and no virtuous officials, it will gradually decline. This is the principle between heaven and earth. "

The state of Chu is prospering day by day, but the state of the princes of the Central Plains is gradually declining. Is there any better news than this?
The struggle among nations is a process of comparison, the worst country dies first, and the remaining countries continue to compete, and the one that is slightly less bad will win the final victory.

The King of Chu said proudly after hearing the words: "The state of Chu has experienced more than 700 years of hardships, and it is precisely because of loyal and upright people like you, uncle, that the state of Chu is now prosperous.

The kingdoms of Xia used virtue to establish their country and educate the world. Now that Zheng Guo has lost his virtue, Zhou Tianzi still protects him like this, which is wrong.

As a great country of Zhuxia, it should uphold fairness and justice, and advise Zhou Tianzi to walk on the right path. "

Xiang Cheng nodded in satisfaction. After hundreds of years of cultural reforms, the nobles of the Chu Kingdom are finally not so hard-headed. They understand that they need to wrap themselves up and wrap themselves in a coat of righteousness.

Xiang Cheng said: "Chen State is a vassal state of Chu State, and the "Wang Dao" clearly stated that the suzerain state has an obligation to help the vassal state, so Chu State should send troops to help Chen State.

The emperor made an unbearable mistake. As a courtier, you should be advised. You are the Marquis of Chu and the monarch of Chu State. You should go to the Central Plains to advise. It is very reasonable to protect the army with you.

I invite the monarch to remonstrate with the emperor, so that the emperor realizes his mistakes, so as to maintain the destiny of the state! "

The eyes of the ministers of Chu State were full of fanatical smiles. Mrs. Xiang had always opposed Chu State's going to the Central Plains. She believed that the time had not come yet, but she was the first to make a suggestion now. It seems that this is the general trend.

Xiang's family can be said to call the wind and rain in the state of Chu, and the officials of Xiang Cheng's faction bowed down one after another: "I also ask the monarch to send troops to save the Xia from the fire and water!"

Then, in the entire hall, there were voices admonishing the King of Chu to send troops.

The king of Chu was naturally very willing, and no king of Chu could refuse to go to the Central Plains.

But he is a wise king who has experienced the hardships of the people, and asked with some concern: "Uncle, Jin is powerful, and has always regarded the Central Plains as its own taboo.

Although the relationship between Chu and Jin has gradually eased over the past hundred years, if Chu goes north, will the Jin Congress agree?
The widow naturally believes in the bravery of the Chu people, but Jin, Luo, Qi, and even Wu, isn't this just ruining the lives of the Chu people in vain? "

The infiltration of Chu State into Jin State is still relatively serious, especially they have contributed to the strengthening of the power of the Qing clan in Jin State, and even led some small defeats, just to let those Qing clan who are more alienated from the Jin State government get a higher status.

This kind of method is really hard to guard against. If Luo Yan wakes up in the Hall of Valor and sees his descendants working so hard to overthrow Da Zong, he probably doesn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Xiang Cheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten Qin?
In recent years, the two countries have jointly developed the Shudu Plain, coupled with the gradual improvement of the weather in the Weihe Plain, the strength of Qin has been inflated over the past few years, coupled with years of bloody battles with Xirong, Qin people are all brave and good soldiers .

If they enter the Central Plains together with the Qin people, Chu's losses must be greatly reduced. "

The king of Chu hesitated even more. The two countries captured Bashu and divided the plain of Shudu equally, which gave Qin another way out from the east.

That is to go directly to the big river and go down the river from the original Ba country.

But the exit of this road is the Jianghan Plain. As early as when Chu State and Ba State were fighting, a pass was built on the Dajiang River to prevent Ba State from going downstream, which is equivalent to Hangu Pass above the Dajiang River.

If Qin State is allowed to take this road now, it is equivalent to smashing a hole in the wall between Chu State and Qin State in order to allow Qin State to come out of the house, and then the Qin people will take a knife and gun to watch around the Chu State, and then pass through the gate. Shi Shi ran away.

After all, this was no longer the difficult time for Wu to conquer the capital of Chu. The young King of Chu couldn't accept it. Xiang Cheng wondered why the King of Chu hesitated. After thinking about it for a while, he understood the King of Chu's concerns.

So he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you think that I let Qin go down the river?
The Jianghan Plain is the foundation of the Chu State, and there are countless clans and noble relatives living here.

How can I let hundreds of thousands of foreign troops pass by?
If a mutiny happened accidentally and the state of Chu was shaken, the minister would have ten lives, how could he afford it? "

With a sharp weapon in the body, the murderous heart starts from the beginning.

The army represents danger and destruction, and it is difficult to control the army, and never think that you are really in control.

As the son of heaven, King Zhou Li died in the chaos because he failed to control the army. Of course, Xiang Cheng couldn't take this risk.

"Your Majesty, the people of Chu never forget to go north, do you think that the people of Qin are willing to live in the western frontier forever, and fight with those bloodthirsty Xi Rong?
From the time when Mrs. Xuan Mi married to Qin State, Qin State never forgot to go east to the Central Plains, which is why the alliance between Qin State and Chu State has not been broken for so many years.

Chu State didn't even need to notify Qin State specifically. Now that the Central Plains is in chaos, they will definitely knock on the gate.

With the strength of Qin State, at least half of Jin State's troops should be placed in the Weihan Passage.

Otherwise, no matter how steep the Hangu Pass is, it will probably be breached directly. You know that there are too many sharp weapons to attack the city. "

Hearing this, the young and heroic King of Chu finally had no more worries, stood up and said loudly: "By the Supreme One, all ministers obey orders!"

"Chen is here!"

"Wang Ming: The state of Chu went north to remonstrate with the emperor!

The Chu royal family, the public clan, and the princes all led their private soldiers to gather in Yingdu.

The prefectures and counties ordered the county guards to recruit the countrymen.

The widow led an army of 20 to Zheng Guo to remonstrate with the emperor.

Sima led an army of 20 to Wu.

The general commanded an army of [-] to garrison Nanyang to guard against the state of Jin. "

In the palace of the Chu Palace, there was an instant uproar against Yingtian. With a population of 500 million, troops were dispatched every ten times. This was not for the purpose of remonstrance!

……

After a hundred years, Chu people who believe in Taiyi finally set foot on this land that has always been their dream.

Since King Su entrusted the ancestors of the Chu Kingdom to the southern wasteland, the monarchs of the Chu Kingdom in the past have been determined to return to the center of Zhuxia. They have failed countless times and lost here countless times.

This time they regrouped, stronger than ever, and weaker than ever, and they came with the confidence to win, trying to create a legend that belonged to Chu. ——"The Kingdoms of Pre-Qin·Chu in Flames"
