When Amin got Aruger's meaning, he asked his men to guard the checkpoint and not let the extra warriors brought by his daughter enter the city. The harmony teams in the www.biquge.info cities did not let each other and they all refused to enter the city, so the two sides were at a stalemate outside the Fengting City.

Su Bailing and Xianglian also waited and watched the changes, and while they had free time, Su Bailing also contacted other relatives and daughters, she wanted to control more information for her own future use.

Six hundred miles away in the palace of Chudu, a young man knelt in the secret room, he kowtowed to the portraits of the emperors of the Chu State hanging in the secret room, and said: "The child is not good, let the Chu State suffer this great defeat and shame." Now that the state of Chu is facing an existential crisis, the child can only make a desperate bet and make a final fight of life and death, hoping that the ancestors and ancestors will bless the child to successfully recover the state of Chu."

After kneeling down, the young man stood up and walked to the third portrait on the left, only to see the five characters of Chu Yinglie the Great on the side of the portrait. From the founding of the Chu State to the present, there have been a total of nine emperors in the young Emperor Chu Xian, after one hundred and twenty years, the most outstanding of which is the third generation of the Chu Emperor, and the full name of Chu Yingdi is Chu Yinglie the Great.

This Emperor Ying of Chu reigned for thirty-eight years, and he expanded his territory and built Chu into one of the five great powers on the mainland. It was he who expanded the state of Chu, which originally had only 17 cities in 3 states, into 10 states and 50 cities. The three states and fourteen cities lost in the Battle of Chu and Liao were also captured by him from other countries.

In particular, Yanzhou and Dingzhou were captured from the powerful Northern Xia Kingdom at that time. At that time, Dingzhou was called the summer capital and was the capital of the Northern Xia Kingdom.

Emperor Ying of Chu captured the Xia capital at the cost of more than 100,000 casualties of the elite Chu army, which directly led to the civil strife in the Northern Xia and was replaced by the Northern Liao and perished, and the area north of the Xia capital of the Northern Xia Kingdom was returned to the Northern Liao. I know that at that time, the Northern Xia Kingdom also had eleven states and forty-eight cities, and after losing Yan and Ding's two states, it still controlled forty-one cities in northern Kyushu, and its strength was still strong. The Khitan did not kneel and formed an alliance to unite other tribes to attack Northern Xia, which finally led to the destruction of the Northern Xia State, and the northern part of the Chu State rose up to replace the Northern Xia.

As the name suggests, the Khitan non-kneeling tribe is a different tribe, and the way to salute between the leaders of all levels and their subordinates in this tribe is not to kneel, which means equality, which is a new rule and has been supported by most of the tribal people. At that time, the Northern Xia Kingdom studied Middle-earth culture, but the most refined of them was the strict hierarchy in Middle-earth culture. Officials at all levels and people at all levels need to bow down.

At that time, all the tribes went to see the Xia Emperor to bow down, and only the Khitan non-kneeling tribal leaders went to see the Xia Emperor and did not bow down.

At that time, Emperor Xia was furious and wanted to punish the leader of the Khitan tribe, and the leader of the Khitan tribe looked up to the sky and laughed: "Our Khitan tribe does not kneel, since the name is not kneeling, then even if the clan is destroyed, it will not kneel." The Xia Emperor had no choice but to let him, so that the Khitan tribe did not kneel and moved the entire Northern Xia grassland in this name.

Of course, in fact, this is just a means for the leaders of the Khitan tribe to buy people's hearts, when the Khitan tribe really became strong and established the Northern Liao, the hierarchy in the country was better than that of the Northern Xia State. Now it is fashionable to bow in Northern Liao, which means that there is quality and cultural performance, because all countries in the Central Plains are kneeling. Not kneeling means that it is ignorant and savage prairie vices. The reality is so ironic.

After Emperor Ying of Chu captured the Xia capital, he renamed the area to Dingzhou, which means to pacify the northern state, and sent heavy troops to guard it.

For the Northern Liao, which appeared as the successor state of Northern Xia, their emperors all thought that Yanzhou and Dingzhou were their Great Liao lands, and for this reason, they constantly used troops against Chu. After many years of conquest, the two countries have won and lost each other, and the two sides have been fighting near Dingzhou. Until not long ago, the battle that decided the fate of Chu and Liao was fought in Dingzhou.

As a result, the Chu army was defeated, not only lost Dingzhou, but even Yanzhou, the gateway to Chu, was occupied by the Liao army.

The state of Chu was in danger of extinction, and at this time, Emperor Chu Xian, the ninth emperor of the state of Chu, was forced to send people to the Liao state to negotiate peace. agreed to the humiliating condition of the Liao State, that is, the remaining thirty-six cities of the Chu State should be dedicated to the thirty-six beauties and relatives of the Liao State.

The Liao State agreed to negotiate peace not because the Liao State did not want to completely destroy the Chu State, but that the Liao State was not ready to destroy the Chu State. After all, the state of Chu is a big country, the so-called hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, even if the state of Chu is defeated, to destroy the state of Chu, the Liao army at that time is far from enough.

At the beginning, the Empress Dowager of the Liao State gave the commander of the Liao army, Han Jiangxue, three combat tasks: excellent, good, and general.

Among them, the general combat mission refers to the Liao army blocking the Chu army's attack in the area north of Dingzhou, and finally repelling the Chu army's attack. To achieve that the Liao State does not lose or loses less land, that is to say, the battle between Chu and Liao is undefeated and undefeated, and this task is that the Empress Dowager Xiao told Hanjiangxue that it must be completed.

The second combat mission belonging to "Liang" is that the Liao army will repel the attack of the Chu army and push the war closer to the vicinity of Dingzhou, that is to say, the battlefield should be completed on the territory of the Chu State, which is equivalent to saying that the Liao State will defeat the Chu State by a small margin. This good combat mission is for Empress Dowager Xiao to ask Han Jiangxue to strive to complete. After all, at that time, the Chu State attacked the 200,000 troops of the Liao State with an army of 500,000, which belonged to the enemy's strength and weakness, and the task given by the Empress Dowager Xiao to Han Jiangxue could not be particularly arduous.

The third "excellent" combat mission was the Liao army's defeat of the Chu army and the successful occupation of Dingzhou. This excellent combat mission is what Empress Dowager Xiao hopes Han Jiangxue can complete, but the hope of success of this "excellent" combat mission is very slim.

Who knew that the Liao army actually captured Yanzhou in the end, which greatly exceeded the original combat mission and operational objectives of the Liao army. As a result, the Liao army has insufficient troops, and the logistics cannot keep up. When the Liao army finally captured Yanzhou in a hard battle, the Liao army was actually the last of the strong crossbows. In this way, the Liao army could only look at the prosperous Chu capital from afar, and after signing a peace treaty with Chu, retreated and returned to Yanzhou.

The young Emperor Chu Xian looked at the portrait of his ancestor Chu Yingdi and prayed: "Ancestors and ancestors, today the descendants have not been able to keep the ancestral industry, and they are ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors, but as long as the child's plan can be successfully successful, the restoration of the former majesty of Great Chu is just around the corner, I hope that the ancestors and ancestors will bless the children and bless the Great Chu." After Emperor Chu Xian worshipped, he walked out of the secret room with a heavy heart, and when he came to the Chengde Hall from the secret room tunnel, it was already late at night.

The Chengde Hall is the study and bedroom of the Emperor of Chu, and the emperor generally goes to the palace of the queen or concubines to sleep. Occasionally, he would spend the night in the Chengde Hall when he was late for reading.
