In the end, Ruan Cairui still failed to convince King Ning.

One of the biggest reasons is that even King Ning doesn't know if he will follow in the footsteps of Chu State.

Because it is obvious that the general situation is uncertain now, before Cangguo does not show enough ambition, it is very likely that the countries will be happy to see Nguyen and Cangguo fight each other, thus consuming each other.

The experience of the Chu State made King Ning very uneasy.

Another reason is that on the border close to Cangguo, King Ning's power is the largest, that is to say, once a war with Cangguo starts, the first to bear the brunt is the power of King Ning.

Therefore, neither at the national level, nor from personal interests, he will not agree.

Of course, as Ruan Cairui said, King Ning is the most far-sighted one among the entire three kings.

Therefore, after some careful consideration, it was decided to secretly prepare for war, form an alliance with the rest of the countries, and even send envoys to the Yun Kingdom and the Mang Kingdom to make a warning.

In October, the state of Chu was besieged on three sides, and the city was constantly encroached upon.

Among the three countries of Cang, Mang, and Yun, the one that occupies the most cities is the Mang country.

There are more than 300 large and small cities!

The rapid fall of the state of Chu shook the world.

After losing the opportunity, the state of Chu was exhausted, and it was not even in a hurry to dispatch troops and generals, and it was too late to defend the east wall and make up the west wall.

The nobles of the Chu State were also completely panicked.

The fate of the major families is closely linked to the fate of the Chu State.

When the state of Chu is prosperous, they naturally rise and rise, standing at the top of the exploitation level, like locusts, lying on all the people of the state of Chu, constantly absorbing fresh blood, and constantly reproducing and growing.

The decline of the Chu State is not too much to do with them, and at most earning a little bit will not affect their social status.

Xing, the people are bitter.

decay, the people suffer.

However, once the state of Chu was destroyed, they could only suffer.

If you are lucky, you can sell the country, avoid evil, and be able to pick up a life, and survive, and the main members of the family will not have to worry about their lives.

If you have average luck or bad luck, you can't escape the knife of robbing your family and destroying your clan no matter what.

The family gate valve of the Chu State suddenly became active.

After the fall of the Chu State, how should his family deal with itself?

Many families have secretly transferred their wealth and core children to other countries.

Among them, the most sought-after is Cangguo.

Because, as long as it is a big family in the Chu State, without exception, they all control the caravan, and there is a huge amount of Dacang coins at home, which are compared with gold and silver treasures, which are convenient for transportation and transfer, and do not have to worry about depreciation, and will be very safe in the process of transferring from Chu to Cangguo.

Another is that Cangguo is the most prosperous and stable place today, and it is more reassuring to transport wealth and future generations to Cangguo.

The reality is like this, Cangguo wantonly invaded Chu State, and the princes and grandsons of Chu State are trying to find ways to transfer their lives to Cangguo.

In today's cultural system of Cangguo, this is called betrayal.

However, in the value system of the Chu State, this seems to be the norm.

Ordinary people are shameless, but helpless.

The royal family and the rest of the nobles are doing the same thing, and no one is qualified to blame anyone.

Even Emperor Xiong Wu was helpless about it.

For the state of Chu, he no longer had much hope.

In the turbulent times when various countries are competing for power, it is already a common thing to destroy the country, and there is no truth written on it, and the Chu State cannot be destroyed.

In the past few years, the foundation of the Chu State has almost been hollowed out, coupled with the fact that the pace of expansion is too large, the foundation is unstable, and it is already predictable that the building will collapse.

He is now frightened every day, thinking about the fact that in the past, for the position of the prince, he fought openly and secretly with the brothers, and grabbed his head and broke his blood, but now it is good, as soon as he takes over, it will be a mess, and the hundreds of years of national glory of Dachu will soon die in his hands.

Regret not falling!

In addition to regret, or regret.

Xiong Wu could clearly feel that during the daily deliberations, there were more and more ministers in the court who said that they were sick and could not go to the court, and the rest of the people who went to the court were also sad one by one, and they could not come up with an effective countermeasure.

There is only one Qu Dan, who is neatly dressed every day, and does his best to arrange the big and small affairs of the court, although he often has a sad color, but he is still loyal to the Chu State and to him, the emperor.

What a loyal servant!

Great loyalty!

As the so-called adversity sees the truth, the state of Chu suffered from this catastrophe, only Qu Dan scattered his family wealth, did not care about the safety of the family, worked diligently, and fought on the front line for the life and death of Great Chu.

What is the spirit of self-determination and dedication?

Xiong Wu felt that he was not alone in what the emperor had done.

So, for a period of time after that, Xiong Wu had already regarded Qu Dan as the only person he could trust, and he had to discuss everything with him.

came and went, and in the eyes of outsiders, the two monarchs and ministers were like warming each other.

In November, the Cangshao coalition army was the imperial capital of Chu after all.

Interestingly, along the way, the Cangshao coalition army captured one city after another, thanks to good military discipline, there was no offense against the occupied cities, and quickly issued a notice to calm the people, so that the vast majority of the people did not have much resistance to the Cangshao coalition army.

On the contrary, all the way south, many displaced people and rebellious peasants were recruited, including some bandits who had no choice but to fall into the grass, and specially organized a rebel army.

It was like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger, and when it was time to approach Chu City, the number of people reached 300,000!

And the reason why it is called the Righteous Army is also because in the past many years of conquest history, the Righteous Army formed under the command of Cangguo is famous, but all the local people who took the initiative to take refuge have been treated very well after the victory, and regardless of the reward, the worst can also find an errand in the local government, or become the first knight.

In the past, whether it was the conquest of Zheng Guo, Dong Guo, or Sheng Guo, they were all well verified and talked about among the people.

Therefore, playing the banner of the righteous army, it is more able to gather people's hearts, and some ordinary people heard that the Cangjun army is recruiting the people to be the righteous army, and they are overjoyed, and regard it as an opportunity to soar, and they are very active.

The local gentry and nobles were also defeated by the Cang army who entered the city, and most of the food and materials that could be used in the army were distributed to the local people to buy people's hearts.

So, this has formed a very interesting phenomenon, but whenever the city captured by the Cangguo, the Blue Dragon Legion only needs to send a small number of troops to station, and then recruit some low-level poor people and local peasant rebels, grant those leaders official positions, and promise some benefits with documents, such as titles and official positions, then it is basically stable.
