Self-cultivation of the traveler of the world

During the period of King Cheng of Zhou, he was granted the title of King of Chu, feudalized Danyang, and established the country as Chu. At this point, Jingchu ranked among the princes, and the Kingdom of Chu was born.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, the state of Chu was poor and weak, and even the sacrifices for ancestors were stolen from the state of Pang, leaving a history of Chu people stealing cattle.

But poverty is only temporary. Based on Danyang, Chu State developed to the south and merged with other countries. During the war and mergers, Chu State gradually prospered, with a magnificent atmosphere, and truly stood among the princes.

During the reign of King Heng of Zhou, the State of Chu attacked Sui State with the surname of Ji and forced the emperor to promote him to the title of title.

After being rejected, Xiong Tong personally led the army to conquer Suiguo again, and won a complete victory. He named himself King Wu of Chu, and the world has since opened a precedent for princes to pretend to be kings.

When Chu became king, the state of Chu became more powerful under Ling Yin Ziwen's governance, and the succession of King Cheng was passed down to King Zhuang.

King Zhuang of Chu didn't make a name for three years, and he became a blockbuster. He appointed Sun Shuao to rule the Qing Dynasty, and the state of Chu became rich and powerful for a while.

Finally, Zhuang Wang led the Chu army to Yiluo, Chen Bing Central Plains, intimidated the emperor in the name of King Qin, and aspired to the Central Plains.

So far, the Chu State has just started the road of the five hegemonies in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the world has entered the era of the Jin-Chu struggle for hegemony that lasted for 200 years.

In the late Spring and Autumn Period, Wu and Chu started an 80-year war for control of the Jianghuai River Basin.

Until King Helu of Wu appointed Wu Zixu, Sun Wu and others, they won five battles and five victories, captured Yingdu, and knocked Chu State down from its hegemony.

During the period of King Hui of Chu, Fu Chai, king of Wu, came to the throne. Because he despised Chu, Yue and other countries, he went northward to fight for hegemony with all his strength.

Goujian, king of Yue, took advantage of the emptiness of the state of Wu and raised troops to attack Wu. Fu Chai hurried back to the army, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to ask for peace with generous gifts.

From then on, Wu gave way to Yue and was unable to fight against Chu again. Only then was Chu able to get rid of Wu's control and have a chance to recover.

So far, Chu State has entered a hundred years of sinking.

It wasn't until the period of King Mourning of Chu, that King Mourning appointed Wu Qi to reform in order to strengthen the country, and then the decline of Chu State was restored, and there was a scene of revival.

The reform has achieved results, and the state of Chu became strong again, returned to the Central Plains, and entered the ranks of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.

In the later period of King Wei of Chu, Chu State became the only big country among the Seven Heroes that could compete with Qin State. Its territory and territory were unprecedentedly vast, and it entered the most prosperous period.

However, the general trend of the world, prosperity and decline, not long after.King Wei of Chu died, and King Huai of Chu came to the throne.

At this time, the state of Chu is no longer the self-reliant Chu barbarian. The long history and vast territory have brought rich culture to the state of Chu.

King Huai of Chu, who grew up under the wings of a mighty king since he was a child, has a generous personality, straightforwardness and innocence, with the patriotism and sense of responsibility of a king, but without the cunning and arrogance necessary for a king.

Zhang Yi broke off diplomatic relations with King Huai of Chu, who cheated the king of Chu with six hundred miles of land, and then handed over the land with six miles of land.

King Huai of Chu raised his troops in anger, and sent troops to attack Qin. Qin and Chu fought, and were defeated in a row. First, [-] troops were annihilated, and then the capital was captured.

The State of Qin threatened that if he wanted peace, King Huai must go to Qin in person.

As a king, King Huai of Chu did not evade, and went to Qin to seek peace against all opinions. In King Huai's view, the king of Qin was a hereditary nobleman, and he must not be as deceitful and dishonest as a commoner like Zhang Yi.

But the Warring States Period was originally an era of power and deceit. After King Huai of Chu went to Qin, he was immediately imprisoned by the Qin State. Three years later, he died in depression.

King Huai of Chu failed in his life, but he did not split a piece of land from Qin until his death, defending the interests of Chu.

But Qin would not give up, and then attacked Chu many times, broke into the capital, even burned down the Yiling of the Chu royal family, and took away most of the territory of Chu.

After that, King Chu Kaolie ascended the throne, sent troops to help Zhao break the siege of Handan, and led troops to destroy Lu, which once again gained a respite.

But Qin State will not give up, Chu State is still acting under the threat of Qin Jun Bingfeng.

Once upon a time, Chu State and Qin State had always been brothers and sisters, and they were both excluded from the Chinese cultural circle.

The state of Qin has the name of the country of tigers and wolves, and the state of Chu once shouted, "I am a barbarian!" '.

Both countries are regarded as barbarians, Qin because of culture, and Chu because of geography.

This is the reason for the prosperity of the two countries. Qin has never forgotten it, but Chu has forgotten it.

They learned the rituals of Zhou, picked up benevolence, righteousness and morality, but forgot their own fundamentals.

The culture of Chu State is the most splendid among all the countries.

In the 800 years since the founding of the country, the Chu State has merged countless national tribes, and the various ethnic groups have been united through intermarriage.

As a result, the state of Chu has absorbed the cultures of various tribes, with different clothing, food, language, and customs, which can be described as splendid.

The original capital of Chu State was captured by Qin State, and the current capital is Chen Ying.

Chen Ying is located in the Central Plains, and its geographical location is quite special.

The capital is located on a back-shaped land, and the small mouth is Chen Ying, surrounded by a lake, the lake is very wide.

There is only one narrow road connecting the two banks, and this narrow road must be used to enter and leave the city.

There are boats in the lake, but there are no merchant ships. All the boats are privately owned by the nobles, and the common people can only pass through narrow roads. It is definitely a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack!

Chapter 168

"What is Mr. Lang looking at?"

After Wang Xuebin came to Chenying, he didn't enter the city, but circled around the natural moat, looking at the wide lake, amazed.

The girls of Shanrou looked at Wang Xuebin's movements and were a little curious. Although the lake is wide, the scenery is monotonous, and they really don't know what to see.

Wang Xuebin came back to his senses when he heard Shanrou's words, looked at the doubtful people shaking his head and sighed:

"Being able to make up our minds to build a city and establish a capital in such a place shows how vigilant the King of Chu is to the Qin State. Thinking of the marriage between Qin and Chu for generations, who would have thought that the two countries would come to the current situation?"

The three daughters of Shanrou nodded indifferently when they heard the words. They didn't care much about these important affairs of the family and the country. You can watch as much as you like, anyway, it doesn't hinder any major affairs.

Shanrou doesn't care, but Ji Yanran is different.

This girl likes to delve into the affairs of her family, country and world the most. She is so big-hearted. She was a little puzzled when she heard Wang Xuebin's words, so she asked:

"What do you mean sir, this place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is indeed a good place to build a city. If the Qin State attacks and wants to break through the natural moat, at least [-] troops will be lost. I wonder if there is anything wrong with it?"

Wang Xuebin looked back at Ji Yanran who was curious, and said with a smile:

"The capital city was not built for war, Qin soldiers cannot enter here, and Chu people cannot exit.

The establishment of the capital here means that the Chu State would rather sacrifice the development of agriculture, commerce, and all kinds of industries in exchange for national security, which shows its defense against the Qin army! "

After speaking, he looked at the city in the middle of the lake again, shook his head and said with emotion:

"This city is the armor of Chu State, he blocked the Qin army from outside, and also blocked his confidence from outside.

Like a tortoise shell, while protecting them, it also drags them down. In this way, the weaker the Chu State, the stronger the Qin State, and the Chu State will have no power to recover! "

Ji Yanran suddenly realized when she heard the words, looking at the city, there was no admiration in her eyes, only sadness.

The state of Chu that annexed Wuyue back then has finally come to today. As a survivor of the state of Yue, she feels indescribably complicated.

"Lang Jun, when will we enter the city?"

Shanrou didn't care about these things, but seeing Ji Yanran having a good conversation with Mr. Lang, felt a little sour in her heart, so she interrupted and asked directly.

Wang Xuebin couldn't help but smile when he heard Shanrou's tone of taste, woman, your name is Changbian!

Shanrou is no longer the one who suggested that Wang Xuebin bring Ji Yanran along!

He turned his head to look at the innocent Shanrou, and said with a smile

"Don't enter the city!"

"Not going into the city?!"

The girls were very surprised when they heard the words, the purpose of their trip was Chun Shenjun, and Chun Shenjun was in this city now, how could they obtain evidence that Chun Shenjun and Zhao Mu were connected without going to the city?

"It's you who don't enter the city!" Wang Xuebin looked at the heavily guarded city guards in the distance, nodded and said:

"I'm going out alone for this operation. The goal of the five of us is too big, so it's more convenient for me to go alone!"

Shanrou grabbed Wang Xuebin's sleeve and looked at him earnestly.

"Lang Jun, this is my family's feud, let me go!"

Wang Xuebin turned his head to look at Shanrou, embraced her, and said softly:

"Where is it, you and I are one husband and wife, what are you talking about, well, you know my ability, it's more convenient for me to go alone!"

Shanrou leaned in Wang Xuebin's arms, lowered her head and murmured:

"Lang Jun, if I don't do this myself, I will have a hard time in this life!"

Hearing Shanrou's words, Wang Xuebin was silent. After a long time, he tightened the warmth in his arms, and whispered:

"You act together with me today, be sure to obey my command, and don't leave my sight. Your lightness kungfu has also gained some momentum. Let you, Miss Shan, show your power today!"

As soon as Wang Xuebin finished speaking, Zhao Zhi also came up, wanting to hug Wang Xuebin and act like a baby.

But before she could speak, Shanrou in Wang Xuebin's arms raised her head and stared at her expressionlessly.

That look, wishing to pierce his heart with ten thousand arrows, made Zhao Zhi lose his courage, lowered his head, and timidly hid aside.

Shanrou drove away Zhao Zhi who wanted to make trouble, looked up at Wang Xuebin and asked:

"My lord, when shall we leave?"

Wang Xuebin glanced at Chen Ying again, turned his head and said:

"Put them in place first, let's leave immediately after stealing the documents, and return directly to Zhao through Qin!"

......

Chu State is a multi-ethnic country. In order to rule, the monarch married many tribes, which gave birth to a large number of nobles.

These aristocrats were the fundamental reason why the Chu State advocated Zhouli later, because the Zhouli system was beneficial to the nobles.

The state of Chu has implemented many reforms, but they all failed because of the existence of nobles.

The Wu Qi reform of King Chu Mourning also ended when King Chu Mourning died of illness, the nobles assembled a large army to surround the palace, and shot Wu Qi to death with random arrows.

Later, when King Chu Su came to the throne, he massacred seventy nobles in a row, and the blood flowed into rivers, which greatly weakened the power of the nobles. Only then did Chu State, one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, come into existence.

But the good times didn't last long, the fundamental system remained unshaken, and the aristocratic forces swept across again. During the period of King Huai, Qu Yuan intended to reform, but before it could be carried out, he was excluded from the court.

Up to now, the aristocratic forces have basically controlled the direction of Chu's government.

And the biggest aristocratic force at the moment is Chun Shenjun Huang Xie.

Huang Xie is in his sixtieth year this year. He is the prime minister of Chu State, the prime minister and the military and political power of Chu State.

This person had five sons, and the fifth son was Zhao Mu, Marquis of Julu of Zhao State.

The purpose is to destroy the relationship between the three Jins.

The relationship between Chunshen Jun and Zhao Mu is very complicated. Both of them are heroes. The family relationship is a complete joke.

This handle is Chun Shenjun's means to control Zhao Mu, Zhao Mu's biggest weakness, and also the purpose of Wang Xuebin's trip.

In Chenying city, in a room against the brigade, Wang Xuebin and Shanrou were sitting by the window, chatting casually.

"Lang Jun, is that shiny silver thing a magic weapon of the fairy family?"

Wang Xuebin laughed loudly when he heard the words, took out a mirror from his arms, and handed it to Shanrou.

"This thing is called a mirror. It's used for dressing up. Let's play with it!"

Shanrou took the mirror, tapped it curiously, and looked up at Wang Xuebin.

"No, Mr. Lang is fooling people again. The big one doesn't look like this. The one with ripples, Xiaolan and the others got in right away. This one is shiny, it's different!"

Wang Xuebin took the mirror with a smile, tapped it lightly with his finger, handed it to Shanrou again and said:

"Look, isn't it the same?"

Shanrou took the mirror and looked at it. There were ripples on the mirror, like water waves. She took out a Chu coin from her bosom and threw it gently on the mirror. The gold coin instantly passed through the mirror and fell into the mirror world.

Shan Rou stared wide-eyed at this scene, looking very cute.

"Lang Jun, the gold coin is really gone!"

Seeing her cute appearance, Wang Xuebin couldn't help holding her in his arms and ravaging her.

This is the magic in Merlin's magic book, it's called the Hungarian Mirror Trap, and it's a special magic independent of Merlin's magic system.

The mirror surface will become a door, and the opposite of the door is a world of opposites.

All the laws of that world are opposite to those of the present world, but the manifestations are the same, the gravity is the same, the air is the same, and the world has everything that the present world has.

Creatures can also survive in mirror worlds.

In spellbooks, mirror traps are used only as captivity.

One is because the size of the opposite world is the size of the mirror’s reflection range, and the other is that the things put into the mirror will not follow the mirror, but can only stay where they are.

This time Wang Xuebin used it in a different way for protection, which is also a new research result.

The mirror is made of an aluminum alloy plate, which was directly suspended in the air by Wang Xuebin, and he also made a concealment method to hide it to ensure nothing goes wrong.
