Chapter 497: The State of Chu is completely destroyed

The last years of the Chu State can be called incredible.

No one dared to believe that the State of Chu, which had always been incomparably powerful in the past, could not even organize a battle of millions of people after suffering a setback.

Among them, there is a reason why the Cangjun crosses the territory.

There are reasons for the incompetence of the imperial court.

It's even more because the heritage has been hollowed out.

In the past, even the State of Wu was still in the battle to protect the country, and had a very bright performance, almost destroying the State of Shao and bringing him back to life.

In contrast, the two major wars of the Chu State in the last years seemed to be impressive, but they were defeated with one blow, and in the case of losing the advantage of cavalry, they were unable to support and lost successive battles.

It can be called a disgrace to a big country.

Today, to save the behemoth of Chu State, it is more like a complete paper tiger.

If Cangguo didn't fight, would the Chu army be able to win? Can the state of Chu be saved?

No.

First of all, the objective state that has occurred is something that we cannot replace with any logical analysis, and all the efforts of the Chu State in the last years have been reached to the maximum under the coercion of the danger of the country.

Its constraints are minimized, and its cohesion is maximized.

And the part without effort is the part that Chu State has been unable to do.

So, what exactly is this part that is no longer possible?

As far as the state of life of the country is concerned, this part that can no longer be done is undoubtedly the lack of national cohesion.

According to the country's mobilization capacity, the state of Chu has always been at a low level, especially when the state of Chu is expanding aggressively and is not doing well.

Specifically, compared to the opponents, the aggregate power of the Chu State was much lower than that of the Yun State and the Mang State.

The efficiency of the decision-making of the temple, the constraints of the nobles, the speed of recovery from defeat, the scale of requisition and mobilization, the smoothness of grain and grass, the thickness of the national treasury, the sophistication of weapons and equipment, the quality of utensils, and the spirit of the people...... All of this is not inferior to the rest of the countries.

This is related to the history of the Chu State, the expansion in recent years, and the court system, and even the biggest point is that although the country has been expanding in recent years, the foundation has been hollowed out.

It's like a strong man, in a state of continuous hunger, heavy work, one day he will be overwhelmed, and once he falls ill, it will be difficult to recover.

All of this, the state of Chu facing the battle of survival can no longer be changed, let alone the best state of the state of Cangguo, so the outcome is clear Even if there is no Cang State to participate in the war, after the army of the Yun State gains power, the State of Mang will also be moved, even the State of Ruan and the State of Fan......

It is not so much that the state of Chu was destroyed by the state of Cang, but that the state of Cang implemented the correct strategy and accelerated its collapse.

The Cang army entered the city and captured the emperor Xiong Wu of Chu and members of the royal family and family...... Throughout noon, a huge group of people and horses could be seen everywhere in Chu City, escorting groups of brightly dressed nobles from various mansions, putting shackles and shackles on them, etc., gathered in the temporary prison in the city.

Those nobles who were usually gentle, graceful, and high-minded were now frightened and frightened, and even like slaves, they were currying favor with the soldiers of the Cangguo who were guarding them.

"Look, isn't that the young worker of the Jia family, a few days ago he spent a lot of money for a prostitute in the Qinglou, and the scenery is infinite, but I didn't expect to be down like this after a few days."

"Look, that's the head of the Peng family, a few years ago, he drove out hundreds of families in Gulin Town and forcibly occupied their land.

"Phew! are all big officials, and over the years, they have done a lot of bad things in secret. ”

"My hard-working daughter was robbed and sold by these heavenly killers."

"It's a real delight!"

"Heh, look at the young ladies and ladies, those women who are scrambling to marry into the nobles of the family as concubines, are now worse than our little people!"

In Chu City, the streets and alleys are full of people.

Originally, since last night, not many people have dared to go out.

However, as soon as the Cangguo army entered the city today, the military discipline was very strict, and there was no hostility towards the common people who did not resist with weapons, and even organized a temporary team to maintain law and order in the market, and severely punished the traitors, so that the fear in the hearts of the people in the city gradually dissipated.

Later, a notice was issued to dispel the doubts of the people.

After some bold people took the lead to come out to see the excitement, the people found that there was really no danger, so they also ran out of the house to see this rare excitement.

This situation is not unfamiliar to the people of Chu City.

Isn't this just raiding?

Yesterday, I was still saying that Cangguo had surrendered, why did he suddenly go back on his word, and after arriving in Chucheng, he began to copy the homes of the nobles of the major families?

Although they were puzzled, the people in Chu City did not have much pity.

As discussed in the streets and alleys, the nobles of the Chu State have always had a bad reputation among the commoners, or there are very obvious boundaries between the various classes of the Chu State, and they are exploited layer by layer, so the people of the lower classes only have hatred and no sympathy for the nobles of the upper class, thinking that they deserve it.

This was the case in the city, and it was not much better in the palace.

Originally, I thought in advance that after the Cangjun entered the city, everything would be handed over smoothly, and the royal family of Chu would also be courteous, so everything was the same, and the people in the palace were all serving wholeheartedly, and no one ran away or something.

But I didn't expect the reality to be completely opposite, the Cangguo army was like a beast, rushing into the palace viciously and subduing all the people in the palace.

Immediately afterwards, even Emperor Xiong Wu was taken away in a burst of shouting and injustice.

After about an hour's effort, a group of royal family members were escorted from outside the palace, and the Eight Kings were among them.

Compared with the nobles outside, the royal family of Chu was treated better, at least they were not escorted to the cage, except for wearing shackles, the rest were not abused much, and they were settled in the palace, which can be regarded as taking care of the face of the royal family.

After dealing with the big things, Wei Zhongquan walked into the main hall.

"Generalissimo, the surrender of the State of Chu has been negotiated with the Cang Army a long time ago, so I am afraid that such a treacherous behavior is very inappropriate, right?"

Xiong Wu stood with his hands in his hands, although his body trembled a little, he still tried his best to maintain the emperor's unyielding side.

Wei Zhongquan smiled: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Chu, rest assured, my Dacang's army has no intention of breaking the contract, but as the commander of the three armies, he must be responsible for the lives of the soldiers, so he temporarily takes extraordinary measures to control the entire Chu City, and please don't mind Your Majesty." ”
