Prequel: The Widow Has a Disease Chapter 51, the Accident of the Chu State
Chu Nai Nanjing orthodoxy, the legacy of the previous dynasty, has not been treated by the Central Plains countries for hundreds of years. The kings of Chu in the past dynasties overcame thorns and thorns, and the blue wisps of the road were used to open the mountains and forests, from the Huai River to the south inch by inch, to Xiong Ran, a full eight generations, working hard, the son of heaven on the top, and the people on the bottom. Now the territory is east of Wuyue and Wuyue, west of Qiqi and two states, north of Qinling Huai River, south of Baiyue.
In terms of geography alone, Chu accounts for four quarters of the world, and there is a large river and a blessed side, and the five grains are abundant, not the princes' mouths are full of thorns and poisonous miasma, and tigers, leopards and jackals everywhere.
Twenty-five years of King Lihe, Ji Xia.
Xiong Ran, the king of Chu, worshiped Teng Yun, the general of the expedition to the west, as the main general, and Ju Chen, the general of Zhenxi, and the generals Huang Yan, Cai Chun and others, led 200,000 troops to attack the fang, and finally fell short and defeated Jiangcheng.
If it weren't for the last moment when Jiang Hou came alone in Liangzhou with a sword, if it wasn't for the spontaneous gathering of troops by the Li people of the two places of Zongqi, if it weren't for the Song general Han Ze as a wall watcher, with the 200,000 heroes of the Chu State, how could he not destroy the small country of Liangzhou and get the benefits of salt water and spring salt?
The defeat is a fact, the 200,000 army was almost wiped out, and the main general Teng Yun led more than 1,000 defeated troops all the way out of Jiangcheng, crossed the Futu Pass, passed through the capital, broke through Fuling, fought in Guizhou, and finally arrived in Phoenix.
Xiong Ran summoned him, and the general, who was known as the second point of Chudi's expedition to the west, disappeared. Some people say that Jiang Hou came with a sword to understand him; Some people say that Teng Yun had no face to see the king of fang, so he killed himself; Some people also say that Teng Yun absconded in fear of crime.
In the battle of Fangfang, Jiangcheng was defeated, the 200,000 army was almost annihilated, dozens of Chu generals were buried in other places, Teng Yun, the general of Zhengxi, was missing, and Ju Chen, the general of Zhenxi, was suspected of death.
Miao Di Luzhai Lu En rode a white deer, reinstated tigers and leopards, proclaimed himself the king of white deer, and led 100,000 Miao people to capture Lingling and Yuancheng.
The state of Chu expanded its land to Baiyue, but there was no time to take care of the conquered land was not surrendered, the conquered people were not educated, and the Baiyue people crossed the Nanling Mountains and recaptured the old land.
Hou Chuan, the general of Chu Zhengnan, led 50,000 troops to invade the Nanban under the order of Xiong Ran, called the Nanban, but in fact, he was looking for the general's mistake, and the 50,000 army entered the land of the Nanban as if the world evaporated, without a trace.
Song and Chu are among the most powerful countries in Kyushu in the world, and it is not a thin silk thread that connects the alliance between the two countries, but this fine silk thread is the peerless beauty of the sinking fish Qiaoyu. Song and Chu formed an alliance to attack Liangzhou and Qi, and there was a gap between the two countries, and there was a crack in the covenant. After Han Ze returned to the Song Dynasty, Song Xiao dispatched troops to cross the Qinling Mountains, crossed the Jianling Pass, and used Meng Jiao to pacify the brave and righteous army of Qiguo Township, while dispatching 80,000 heavy troops to defend the Jianling Pass.
Song Xiao's defense is naturally not Meng and Jiao, but Chu. Xiong Ran knew it well, and sent an envoy with a thousand taels of gold and a hundred horses to rebuild the Song Kingdom, and secretly ordered Jing Se, the general of Zhenbei, to guard the north gate of the Chu Kingdom.
For a time, there were three seedlings in Chu who were in turmoil, and only the east of the four realms was safe.
"The king, the minister has a word." The peasant sage Miao visited Xiong Ran, the king of Chu.
"Please." Xiong Ran has always admired Miao very much, and the Chu State has expanded its land in the past ten years, with four expeditions and four towns and hundreds of thousands of male soldiers outside, and Miao Chanong in season.
Miao said worriedly: "Wang, I have been expanding the land of Chu, but I am not diligent in indoctrination, the land I have expanded is not the land of Chu, and the people I have conquered are not the people of Chu. The minister thought that he should be scared with a sword, raised with grains, and supplemented by poetry and books. ”
"Good." Xiong Ran nodded, what Miao said was not unreasonable, all the places where Chu Guoxiong went were surrendered to the sword, and Xiong Ran ordered people to transport food for relief and inflict heavy burdens. However, whether it is Sanmiao or Baiyue, they don't want to repay their kindness, and the rebellion continues. Enwei is both giving, but less educating, in this way, the Miao people are still Miao people, and the land of Baiyue is still the land of Baiyue.
Chu has a great general's husband's fault, and there are four expeditions and four towns under the husband's fault, namely Teng Yun, the general of Zhengxi, Guan Ying, the general of Zhengdong, Du Ruo, the general of Zhengnan, Gongsun Lin, the general of Zhenxi, Ju Chen, the general of Zhendong, Yuan Jiliang, the general of Zhennan, Hou Chuan, and Jing Se, the general of Zhenbei.
In the past ten years, nine generals have fought in the east and west, and fought in the south and north, expanding their land for thousands of miles, and making great contributions. In just a few months, first the husband and Jiang Wangshu were both defeated, and Du Ruo and the husband were both in the South Barbarian without knowing life and death; and then the Zhennan general Hou Chuan evaporated like the world as soon as he entered the Nanban, and there was no news; In the end, Teng Yun was defeated and disappeared, and Ju Chen was suspected of being killed in battle.
For a time, five of the nine generals had gone. All of this is due to Jiang Wangshu of Liangzhou. Fu Cuo and Jiang Wangshu Wujiang lost both in the gambling battle, and Du Ruo and his husband Co could not escape into the Nanban along the Wujiang River; Hou Chuan was ordered to cut down Baiyue on the surface, but actually entered the Nanban to find the whereabouts of his husband; In the battle of Jiangcheng, Jiang Hou defeated Juchen with an invincible attitude, fought three Ying, and injured the muse.
Teng Yun, the general of Zhengxi, and Ju Chen, the general of Zhenxi, were not there, and Sanmiao dared to make trouble without anyone to control them. Du Ruo, the general of Zhengnan, and Hou Chuan, the general of Zhennan, entered the Nanban, and Baiyue dared to Vietnam Ridge and invade the Chu realm.
Even the Song and Chu rivalries arose because of Jiang Hou, if it weren't for Jiang Hou, Jiangcheng would have already fallen, and Xiong Ran was more generous to turn the seven cities of the Fang Kingdom into the Song State.
The changes in the Chu State are all due to Jianghou Jiang Wangshu, how capable this reckless poet who is alone in Liangzhou and is now famous all over the world, Xiong Ran really wants to see it.
The internal worries are not settled, and there is no time to take care of the external troubles. At present, the matter of cutting down the fang has to be temporarily shelved, the war between the east and Wu and Yue should also be reined in, and the north can prevent the Song army from going south, and the top priority is to pacify the king of Sanmiao Bailu and recover Lingling and Yuancheng; If you destroy the Baiyue people who cross the border, you can't lose an inch of land north of Nanling; Wait for the civil strife to calm down, and then follow Miao's words, supplemented by education.
It's just that the life and death of the four generals in the west and south are uncertain, and they don't know where they are, and the east and north borders need to guard against strong enemies.
"Wang, General Ju is back." Miao sent a messenger to report.
The state of Chu was in an eventful autumn, and the nine generals lost five in succession, and internal and external troubles followed, and Xiong Ran was not excited when he heard that Ju Chen had returned. He changed his previous calm and calm, and asked, "Where is General Ju?" Heralds have always been widowed. ”
On that day, Ju Chen desperately resisted Jiang Wangshu's formation, but saw Teng Yun abandon the army and fled, he wanted to coerce Jing Qijun and Qin Mengting, and led thousands of Chu troops to break through from Jiangcheng, cross the Futu Pass, pass through the capital, go down to Fuling, cross the Wujiang River, and go to Qianzhong, and finally only dozens of people arrived in Phoenix.
There was no time to rest, Juchen rode fast for two more days, and went straight to Yingdu.
"King." Ju Chen met Xiong Ran, the king of Chu.
"Aiqing, get up." Xiong Ran personally supported, Ju Chen since he surrendered to him, dutiful, he tried his best to disagree with the public, and named Ju Chen as the general of Zhenxi, not without regret of talent.
"Sin will bring the courtiers to the king." Ju Chen's face was full of shame and he didn't dare to get up.
"Aiqing, the loss of the orange, the sin is not in people, and the will of heaven is also." Xiong Ran, the king of Chu, helped him again, and Ju Chen got up.
Ju Chen fled all the way back to Phoenix, and as soon as he arrived, he heard that Teng Yun had arrived in Phoenix City yesterday and was nowhere to be seen. He and Teng Yun are the same generals in the Western Realm, and they have worked together for a long time, and vaguely guessed that Teng Yun absconded in fear of crime.
Hmph, as the main general, he escaped from the battle, disregarding the lives of thousands of people, if it weren't for Jing Qijun as a hostage, Jiang Hou would have stabbed him under the horse with a sword.
"The king, the minister has a word, but I don't know whether to say it or not." Ju Chen had a gap with Teng Yun before, but there were political differences, and this time Teng Yun's escape made him disdain Teng Yun as a person.
"Aiqing, please speak." Xiong Ran guessed what Ju Chen was going to say, and he had an idea in his heart.
"In the battle of the fang, our army was united, and only General Teng Yun escaped from the battle, putting more than 10,000 soldiers to death. Fortunately, the soldiers fought with each other to open a way for the criminals to kill. Ju Chen said.
"Teng Yun escaped from the battle, and he should be punished for treason." Xiong Ran said without hesitation. The state of Chu is rich in things and people, and there is no shortage of generals, especially those who are disloyal and unjust.
"My king is wise." Ju Chen bowed down, he surrendered to Xiong Ran, the king of Chu, was it really because of that meal? The Miao people always said that the king of Chu was cruel and ate people at every meal, and what he saw in Yuanshui was that only the people were rich and the people were prosperous.
The world needs a Ming Jun, so he forgot his mission. Mingjun needs a sharp sword and a heavy shield, and the sword is enough, so he switched to the art of defense and was willing to be a heavy shield.
"General Ju has merit, he should be rewarded, Jiao Guo pays tribute to a wild horse king, he is unruly, please tame him." Xiong Ran's implication is self-evident.
Ju Chen received the order and followed Xiong Ran to the royal horse farm, and sure enough, there was a black horse, full of wildness, galloping in the horse farm, and the groom hid outside the field and did not dare to get close.
"Is the general sure?" Xiong Ran asked.
"You can give it a try." Ju Chen jumped into the horse farm with a whip in his hand.
When the king of wild horses saw Juchen entering, he screamed and rushed forward, his mane flying, and his face was handsome.
Ju Chen stood still in the field, until the Wild Horse King rushed in front of him before he jumped up and jumped on the horse's back.
The Wild Horse King was born to be a king, where is he willing to be humiliated by his crotch, and he keeps soaring, wanting to fall to death this little person who doesn't know the height of the sky.
Juchen hugged the horse's neck with one hand and whipped with the other. The king of wild horses has suffered such humiliation, galloping against the wind, and his momentum is smacking.
Juchen hugged the horse's neck tightly, and the whip kept pumping on the wild horse king. The king of wild horses galloped and soared, and neither man nor horse would give in.
For two whole hours, the Mustang King was so tired that he was foaming at the mouth, and he could no longer struggle, so he lowered his proud head and acquiesced to the unruly master on his back.
"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life." Ju Chen led the Wild Horse King over and said.
"The king has Juchen, why is it difficult to take this world?" Miao high-fived. Ju Chen is brave and strategic, loyal and righteous, and he is much better than Teng Yun's other horsemen who escaped from the battle and absconded in fear of crime.
"Does the king have something on his mind?" Ju Chen saw that Xiong Ran was worried, so he asked.
Miao said: "Ju Chen, you and I are both Miao people, you should know that Miao Di rebelled, when you and Teng Yun were fighting, Luzhai Luen proclaimed himself the king of Bailu, and raised 100,000 troops to occupy Yuancheng and Lingling."
Ju Chen replied: "Master Miao, Ju Chen has always regarded himself as a Chu person."
Ju Chen's heartfelt words made Xiong Ran's expression moved, and he didn't make a sound, wanting to see how Ju Chen would choose.
"King, the war of the fangs, the minister is guilty. The king did not punish him, which was already a blessing for the guilty ministers, and he gave the ministers horses, and he was uneasy, "Juchen knelt down and asked for his life," the ministers asked to go and suppress the Bailu rebellion. ”
"Good." Xiong Ran laughed, and finally waited for this sentence. With Juchen here, what about the rebellion in Miaodi, and how much storm can the White Deer King set off?
He was fortunate that he didn't kill Juchen at the beginning, and that meal that was not delicious was exchanged for a national pillar minister.
"King, the carpenter has returned." A guard came to report.
The wooden master is Muer, Xiong Ran worships Muer as the national teacher, and the general's husband is ranked as the third duke.
Previously, Muer was ordered to lobby the Qi State, and Chu Qi formed an alliance to defeat the fang. Qi defeated Bayang, Sima Hao Meng died, the veteran Wu Bugu went out of the mountain again to serve as Sima, and rebuilt the alliance with the orange, so Muer made the Song State again, and the Chu and Song Dynasty formed an alliance to attack Liangzhou.
When Muer returned, Xiong Ran was eagerly summoned, and Ju Chen retreated, preparing to suppress the White Deer King.
"King," said Murbaifu, "why did the king send Song again?" ”
Mu Er's tone was angry, and only he and Miao dared to talk to Xiong Ran like this in the entire temple.
Xiong Ran asked, "Why did the carpenter say that?"
"Chu and Song form an alliance, Song prides himself on being the master, and Wang Sanfan lowers his posture twice, I'm afraid that Song will gain an inch." Mu Er must have received unfair treatment in Song Land, and he was suffocated by the fire in his stomach.
"It's wrong to be outnumbered." Xiong Ran has a beautiful Qiaoyu, so he is naturally respectful to his in-laws, but he doesn't want to let Mu Er suffer, so he examines himself.
Mu Er didn't dare to be presumptuous, there are not many Ming Jun in the world who can be a corporal of Lixian, Xiong Ran can listen, and he is not a person who does not know the times.
"Wang, when the internal worries are calmed down, the capital of Li Jiuding, can be slowly figured out." Mul said.
Xiong Ran was overjoyed and asked, "The carpenter has gained something from this trip?"
Muer replied with a smile: "But the king of the world, only the king and the king of Song." The king of Song was dying of old age, and there was no good son under his knees, and Song was worried. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Miao asked.
The third prince of Chu State, Mu Er is the national teacher, Fu Cuo is the general, and Miao is the Sinon.
"First, after Song Xiao, Song Wuxian Jun even had a rebellion to seize the heir; Second, the people of Song are not returning, and there are endless internal worries; Third, the Song Dynasty was reckless in military force, tired of the country and tired of the people; Fourth, the Song Dynasty is the land of a hundred battles, with the Husai peeping side in the west, the rising star Lu State in the east, the Northern Alliance in the north, and as for the south," Mu Er said with a smile, "Song Chenbing Jianling Pass is just self-preservation, how dare you go south." ”
Mu Er said it in an orderly manner, and Xiong Ran couldn't help but sigh that Chu has three dukes, and the country is very lucky. It's just that the general's husband doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, Jiang Wangshu can fight the country's thunder, how can his husband be weaker than him? I hope that the husband can return, and the business of the king is indispensable.
After Teng Yun broke through from Jiangcheng, he rushed back to Phoenix City, he wanted to meet the king of Chu face-to-face, but he was afraid that Xiong Ran would punish him, so he turned north, and now he has just left the border of Chu and arrived in Jiaoguo.
He remembered the fate of the former general Chen Ze who annihilated the Nine Clans after the defeat of the army, and he did not dare to risk himself.
Fortunately, Teng Yun's parents have no children in the past, and now they have escaped from the border of Chu State, even if Xiong Ran is angry, it will not help.
The world is so big, where can't he go? Teng Yun planned to go all the way north to join the Song Kingdom, but when he first arrived in Jiao Kingdom, he thought of working with Han Ze and changed his mind. Song Guo can't go, after all, Song and Chu married, although the beauty who is peerless in front of the great cause of the king is also a victim, but he doesn't dare to take this risk.
In addition to Song and Chu, only the four kingdoms of Hous, Wu, Yue, and Lu barely have the strength to dominate the world. The Houthis are barbaric, the Houthi king Weixiu is a martial saint, and there are eighteen warriors under his knees, and he must not be reused if he goes, and he should not go. Although Wu and Vietnam have the name of a great power, they will continue to fight among themselves, and sooner or later they will fall under Xiong Ran's hands. The only one who can go is Lu Guo.
Teng Yun pretended to be a horse merchant and went to Lu with a caravan, hoping that Lu Wang Xiaobai had the ambition to be the king of the world, otherwise there would really be no place for him in the world.
It was Mengqiu, Liangzhou.
After the collapse of the Qi Kingdom, Wu Qujian survived, gathered the township brave and righteous army to rush to the aid of Jiangcheng, and the Qi was originally of the same root, and the only one who could save the two countries was Jiang Hou.
Waiting for Wu to rush to Jiangcheng, the battle of Jiangcheng had ended, and Jianghou crushed the Song-Chu coalition army with an invincible attitude. The Yongyi army of Tongguo Township came to the aid from all directions, the Chu general Teng Yun fled, and the Chu general Ju Chen took Jing Qijun hostage and returned to the Chu State.
The war finally fell, but the national honor of the two countries was almost broken. In the first battle of Xinli, the Zheng clan of the Qi royal family and the Qi king Ruoxu all sacrificed their bodies to the national fortune, and only one person was left in the temple of Qi.
Qi faced 100,000 Song troops, while Qi faced 200,000 Chu troops. If Qi is still like this, how good can the Qi country be?
If it weren't for Jiang Wangshu's defeat of Juchen, the battle of Sanying, the wounded muse, and the help of the brave and righteous troops from all over the country, I am afraid that even Jiangcheng would not be able to defend it.
The battle in Jiangcheng fell, and Jiang Wangshu ordered people to bury the robes that died in battle.
In Wuyi Lane, Ba Chuang was surrounded by the Chu army, dozens of Chu troops held spears, and there was no intact body around Ba Chuang.
Outside Jiangcheng, the commanders Du Age, Ba Yan, Fan Qian, and Shi Feng, a young general of Shuli Palace, were killed in battle.
Jianghou Mansion, the palace master of Shuli Xinggong and Taibao Fan Tuli died in battle.
Jianghou Mansion, Bayang Doctor Lang Geli died in battle.
Jianghou Mansion, the king of the fang is sneering at himself.
Jianghou Mansion, Taishi Qingbo died.
Jianghou Mansion, the young master is lovesick and self-killed.
In Wuyi Lane, Ba Man, the son of Ba Chuang, died in battle.
In Wuyi Lane, Gongzi Rin died.
Huaxi, the commander Liu Ling and Yang Que died in battle.
At the gate of Jiangcheng, Zhao Mu, the commander of the thousands, died in battle.
Qin Mengting, the young general of Shuli Palace, and Jing Qijun, the female general, were plundered by Ju Chen.
The Jiangzhou military headquarters was killed and wounded, only Ling Han remained, and Yangliuqiao fell into the Yangliu River with one as ten thousand in a battle, and disappeared.
"Jiang Hou, Jiang Hou." Yang Xian was overjoyed, and stumbled all the way to report, the first was joy, and the second was crying with joy.
"Who is it?" Jiang Wangshu thought that there was another star in the sky, this summer, there were more than 200,000 lives in the citrus land, and more than 200,000 stars were white, and no more, this sky would not be able to bear it. Less, the earth will fall.
"Ba Mang, Ba Mang is still alive, and the little boy is also alive." Yang Xian cried with joy, his voice choked.
"Let's go." Jiang Wangshu did not hesitate, Yang Xian led the way, and the two rushed to Wuyi Lane.
Wuyi Lane, that day, Ba Mang hugged the little boy and hid in a private house. Teng Yun first killed Ba Man, and then captured and killed Xiang Rin. It took a lot of time to kill the two, he thought that Ba Mang had fled away, and chased away, not wanting Ba Mang to hide in the house with the little boy, covering the little boy's mouth and not daring to make a sound, so the last blood of the fang country escaped under Teng Yun's nose.
The little boy Xiangliang was less than two years old, and he cut his wrists to replace milk with blood, and his lips were bloodstained. Ba Mang's breath is dying, but fortunately, there is still life, just recuperate.
"Fortunately, the country will last forever," Jiang Wangshu took Xiang Liang, held up his hands, knelt on his knees, and shouted, "Meet my king." ”
The townsfolk rebels also shouted, "Meet my king."
