Chapter 573: Emperor Qin and King Chu
The military order was issued, and as the war drums of the whole army marched forward, Tang Wu watched the Chu army on his side pour into the city like a tide, and his heart couldn't help but be very happy.
As soon as the meeting is broken, the country of Yue is completely finished!
Not long after, someone came to report: "Report to the general, our army has completely controlled the north wall." ”
"General, our army occupies most of the northern city and is cleaning up the defenders in the city."
"General, General Zhaoying and General Sima have entered the city from the east and west."
"General, our army has begun to attack the city guard. General Zhaoying was leading his troops to occupy important places in the city, and General Sima was heading towards the south gate. ”
"General, our army has conquered the city and defended the mansion and captured the money of the prime minister of the Yue country."
After hearing that Yue Xiang Qian was killed in battle, Tang Mo was overjoyed and said, "Okay, enter the city." ”
When Tang Wu led the crowd to arrive at the city guard's mansion, Zhao Ying and Sima Jian were already waiting outside the mansion, and when Tang Wu arrived, Zhao Ying immediately reported: "General, the last general has already controlled all parts of the city, the treasury, the arsenal, and the streets, all of which have been controlled by our Chu army. ”
"Good!"
Sima Jian continued: "General, the last general has already controlled the south gate, and now the four gates of the city are all under the control of our army. ”
"Okay."
After coming to the hall, Tang Yu immediately commanded:
"Order, immediately send someone to report the good news to the king, our army has conquered Jicheng. Within one month, the entire territory of Yue will inevitably be conquered, and within two months, 100,000 Chu troops can be dispatched north to support. ”
"No!"
"Order, immediately send people to the whole city to search for those who hold the rank of lieutenant colonel and above Gong Cao, implicate the whole clan, all the men in the clan will be beheaded, the servants in the family will be reduced to slaves, and all the women, whether old or young, will be reduced to slaves and maids, all the family property will be confiscated, and all the money and property will be registered, and the whole army will be divided together after the war, along with the money and property in the city treasury."
"No."
"The order is that the army will rest for a day tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow it will set off to attack all parts of the Yue Kingdom, and all the land of the Yue Kingdom will be under the rule of the Chu State."
"No."
On the third day, Tang Wu personally sat in Huiji, and Zhaoying Sima Jian led 50,000 Chu troops to Shangyu Zhuji.
On the other side, after Xiong Huai learned the news that the Chu State had conquered Wucheng, he took advantage of the fact that the countries had not yet reacted, and immediately raised the Chu army, and the troops were divided into four ways to go south, among which Xiong Huai and Jing Cui led the main force to return to Shou County to defend Huaishui, and the remaining three armies were led by Jingyang Deng Lingguang Zhuang Ji and the three people, and divided their troops to seize all parts of Huainan.
Half a month later, Huainan, which was unable to resist the Chu army, fell to the whole territory.
Juchengzhong.
When King Qi got the news of Huainan, he was stunned for a long time, and then he said to Chu Zi with an ugly face: "Xiangguo, you have been tricked." Originally, after the Chu army conquered Wucheng, they played the banner of establishing a prince and becoming the king of Yue, and the widow was suspicious, and the goal of this time the Chu State was not my Qi and Wei at all, but the entire Yue Kingdom.
Now, more than 20 days have passed, and the state of Chu not only did not set up a prince as the king, but instead sent troops to occupy Huainan of the Yue country, and the widow got the news that the Chu general Tang Yu had led the army south to attack the Yue land, and it seems that this time, the state of Chu has played with all the people in the world. ”
Chu Zi smiled: "King, isn't this a good thing? Last time, we annexed the Yan Kingdom, and as a result, we have been targeted by all countries in the world until now. Now, the state of Chu has forcibly annexed the country of Yue regardless of the concerns of all countries in the world, which is to repeat the mistakes of our country, and at this time, it is the time to call on all countries in the world to jointly attack Chu.
From now on, the offensive and defensive momentum between Qi and Chu will be completely reversed. ”
King Qi didn't smile when he heard this, but said with a heavy face: "Xiangguo, the widow is not worried that the countries will not attack the Chu State with the widow now, but is worried about another thing. ”
After a pause, King Qi's eyes showed a look of memory, and he slowly spoke: "Many years ago, the princes discussed in the Jixia School Palace and discussed ways to make the world stable. At that time, all the sons thought that the world was constantly strife, and that the Son of Heaven was weak and powerless to suppress the nations. And because each country is not subordinate to each other, and each has its own army. Therefore, once a conflict arises, the Son of Heaven is powerless to adjudicate, so he can only resolve the contradiction through war until one of the countries is destroyed.
When a country dies, its population, land, and wealth will inevitably be appropriated by another country, which breeds the ambitions of the beneficiary countries, which in turn will constantly generate new contradictions.
In this way, ambitions, contradictions, interests, and hatred are intertwined, and the chaos has been fought for hundreds of years, resulting in the original 800 princes, but now there are only a dozen left, of which there are less than ten of the great powers, and the rest of the princes have become the ministers of the great powers.
By now, countries have no excuse to go to war, and it is accepted by the world to declare war or not to declare war, and all countries are accustomed to it.
Therefore, the princes thought that in today's situation, if they want to completely end the situation of continuous wars in various countries, that is, let the world be one. At that time, the widow who was still the crown prince thought so, so at the beginning of his reign, he targeted Yan Guo, and thanks to Xiangguo's careful planning, it was finally realized. I don't want to, but later the countries intervened and besieged in groups, which fell short. ”
Speaking of this, King Qi shook his head and said: "After this incident, the widow originally thought that the strategy of unifying the world was wrong, after all, among the countries in the world, there is no country that can challenge the rest of the countries, once which country is strong, it will attack it in groups." However, there was a war between the Qin State and the three kingdoms of Bashu, and the existing Chu State swallowed the Yue State. This undoubtedly shows one thing, that is, all countries are going further and further on the road to the unity of the world. ”
Saying that, King Qi said with a heavy face: "The Qin State has been besieged by various countries many times, but it has relied on Qin Pass to slightly save the day. If Chu successfully annexed Yue, it would not only solve the worries of Yue, but also obtain the manpower and material resources of Yue.
If this time the countries take joint action, they can't let the Chu State spit out the Yue State. Then, twenty years later, a state of Chu with a land of more than seven thousand miles, and the land alone exceeds the sum of the territories of all countries, is enough to confront all countries at the same time, which is really terrifying. ”
King Qi remembered that over the years, the Chu State had won victories one after another, and there were almost no defeats, and now he would be relieved of his worries, thinking about it, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart.
Secret Dao: Could it be that the Mandate of Heaven did not fall on the Qi State, but on the Chu State?
The prince was silent for a long time when he heard this, and then he spoke: "Great King, in the past, Su Zi once said, 'Emperor Qin is the emperor of the horizontal, and the king of Chu is the king', which is the two roads of the world becoming one!" In the past ten years, the state of Chu has united with various countries, attacked Qin and Qi, greatly weakened Qin and Qi, and now swallowed Yue in another war. If the countries can't unite to weaken the Chu State this time, then in a few decades, I'm afraid that the Chu State will really be the king of the world. ”
The rumors of Emperor Qin and King Chu were still decades ago. At that time, the Qin State experienced the Shang Dynasty reform, its strength skyrocketed, and it won victories against the Wei State one after another, and was about to occupy all the Guanzhong, all of which had the benefits of the Qin Pass.
And the state of Chu is in the world of Xuanwei, attacking Wei and defeating Qi, rampaging all over the world, and all countries cannot resist.
In this case, after the two fledgling strategists Su Qin and Zhang Yi left Guiguzi, one went to the Qin State to lobby the King of Qin, and the other went to the Chu State to lobby the King of Chu, hoping to achieve a great cause, but as a result, both of them failed.
Thinking of Su Qinlai, King Qi sighed regretfully on his face: "It's a pity that Su Zi was assassinated for Xiaoxiao." Although after Su Zi's death, many unfavorable aspects of Qi Guo were exposed, but for Su Zi's death, the widow has always regretted it, but it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity!
Originally, the widow was still disdainful of Emperor Qin and King Chu, thinking that the world looked down on the Qi State. However, since the countries have been defeated, the widow can understand that the defects of my Qi country are too obvious. ”
