Chapter 798: Chu Death and Yue Worship
Qin ...... No one can ignore the transcendent status of the Qin State among the princes of the Central Plains.
Since the Luoshui Alliance, the forces of the Qin State have suddenly lost their sharpest minions after retreating from the two major threats of the Qi Alliance to attack Qin and the Wei State to send troops, and the latest movement may be to hear that the Qin State has sent 100,000 troops and then 100,000 troops to the land of Baiyue in the south of the Five Mountains.
Qin ...... What does this Henan overlord really look like when he is really powerful, and the autumn military incident in the twentieth year of the first century opened a huge curtain.
Qin Ting worshiped Sun Changqing as the general of the Chu Dynasty, Fan Li as the military division, led the Jingdi Han Army, Zhurong Army, Changsha Army, Yuzhang Army, Hengyang Army a total of 200,000 soldiers and horses, along the mighty river, after 20 years of dormancy, the Qin State once again showed its fierce fangs towards the Central Plains.
Twenty years, under the concerted governance of the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State, the Chu State has recovered its vitality, after breaking the Qi and destroying the Yue, the strength of the Chu State has skyrocketed, and in the face of the menacing Qin State, Shou Ying did not dare to have the slightest underestimation, and hurriedly recruited 400,000 soldiers and horses.
Originally, the upper pillar of Chu Shi Zixi had died of serious illness in the twelfth year of the first century, and after Zixi, the king of Chu personally controlled the military power, and never gave the position of the upper pillar stone that monopolized the military power of Chu State!
The rising stars in the Chu army, such as Xiang Yan, Jingyang, Tang Wu and Zhuang Qiao, who were originally like Xiang Yan, Jing Yang, Tang Wu and Zhuang Qiao, have now grown up to become the mainstay of the Chu army, and even the slightly older Nao Ya is not as good as these rising generals to be reused by the King of Chu!
Hearing that Qin sent troops, the King of Chu also expected it, but what he couldn't calculate was that the King of Chu didn't expect Qin's troops to be so fast!
"But, it's late after all, isn't it......" King Chu looked in the direction of Luoyi, his eyes full of banter.
Yes, destroying Yue is the national policy that the king of Chu has already buried in his heart, and the king of Chu clearly understands that although Hengshan Mountain in the west is the ancestral homeland of the Chu State, but now it is the flag of the Qin State that is planted there.
To the north is the Song land, which is the buffer land of Qi and Wei and Korea, and several tigers are staring here, and the king of Chu is not willing to become the target of the public prematurely, in fact, it is also as the king of Chu is worried, as strong as the Qi country, isn't it also after the annexation of the Song land, it was issued by the Yan State to unite the princes and other countries to raise troops to destroy the sect of the Qi State......
Even though there are only two cities in the current Qi State, Jimo and Jucheng, the King of Chu has not yet taken them into account, and the big cities of Linzi with a population of hundreds of thousands have been conquered under the offensive of the Yan army, not to mention these two small coastal cities!
Even because of the death of King Yan, Le Yi had to withdraw to Jicheng of Yan Kingdom to preside over the overall situation, but King Chu also expected that once Le Yi stabilized the situation of Jicheng of Yan Kingdom and entered Qi again, Qi Kingdom would be truly destroyed!
The king of Chu sent Nao Ya to lead 100,000 troops, captured the king of Qi who fled south, took the opportunity to recover the land of Huaisi, and captured more than 20 cities in the south of Qi, the king of Chu and the monarchs and ministers of Chu knew that this was already the maximization of Chu's interests in Qi, if it was in the north, Chu would be jealous of the world!
Therefore, the king of Chu inevitably looked at the southeast of Chu State, where is the Yue State, the existence of the Yue State is like a moat that restricts the Chu State from expanding its territory, whether it is going north or west, the land of Wu Yue is always the trouble behind the Chu State.
The destruction of Yue is the cornerstone of the Chu State's re-emergence of hegemony!
In order to pave the way for the ministers, the attitude of the king of Chu towards the Yue country was undoubtedly eased to the extreme, the king of Chu married the daughter of the king of Yue, after the collapse of the king of Yue in the thirteenth year of the first century, the king of Chu still sent soldiers and horses to help the wife and nephew Wujiang ascended to the throne of the king of Yue.
In this way, the young Yue Wang Wujiang took Chu as his most staunch ally, and Chu gave up the east of Hangou and handed it over to Yue to war, which made Chu and Yue strengthen their alliances.
But it was when the king of Yue Wujiang thought that the alliance between Chu and Yue was stronger than Jin, and an extremely fierce sea wind blew away the chilling face of the Chu State, and the battle of Hangou was within three days, and within three days, the 80,000 elite soldiers of the Yue State who were exhausted by the sea wind were slaughtered by the Chu State in the middle of the ditch!
The strong wind at sea poured the water of Hangou for two days, and the bodies of countless soldiers of the Yue State were washed into Meili and merged into the river, and at the same time, there were 100,000 Chu troops from Xiang Yan of the Chu State who went down the river to attack the land of Wu Yue.
In order to attack the land of Wuyue, the king of Chu also imitated the strategy of Qin and Qi to adapt to the national conditions, and promised to attack the soldiers of the land of Wuyue, but any success in this battle is to give priority to all the fertile land of Wuyue to the soldiers of Chu to attack the land of Wuyue!
Like Xiang Yan, a small nobleman from Chu Dong, the king of Chu even promised to use the fertile city of Wu Yue as a mining, such as after injuring 80,000 elite soldiers of the Yue State, the Chu State also quickly seized the homeland of Wu State.
At this time, the Yue Wang Wujiang Fang in Huiji only got the news, and the Yue Wang Wujiang was already not as cautious and cautious as his grandfather Yue Wang Bei, and at this time he thought that the Wu people had caused turmoil, and he told these news to hit the morale of Yue Di.
After King Yue Wujiang saw the dark and high-morale Chu ** team under Huiji City, everything was clear!
But it's already late!
The hegemony of the Yue Kingdom, which had been born for ten years and gathered ten years of lessons, completely collapsed under the plan in the heart of the King of Chu who had been planning for more than ten years!
In the autumn of the twentieth year of the first century, the land of Wuyue still remnants of the summer heat, Gusu, Huiji, these important cities of Wuyue land are replaced by the banner of the Chu State, and the king of Chu levied those Yue people or Wu people, and went to the territory of the Chu State, which seems to be to fight with the Qin State in the west.
The king of Yue Wujiang was given to die, and the old pawns of the Yue State who were requisitioned had just walked to the copper mountain of the Chu State, that is, they heard that the Qin people had already beaten over, and a few days later, when they saw the huge fleet of the Qin State going down the river, these Yue people who grew up on boats since they were children were very amazed at how could there be such a huge ship in this world!
The defeated generals of the Yue Kingdom were safe to see this building boat with the Qin seal script hanging on the bow, and the Chu soldiers who were originally high-spirited around them scattered and fled, and the Qin army replaced the Chu army and became the new owner of the defeated army of the Yue State.
Wuyu was very frightened, thinking that if the Yue Kingdom had such a big warship, how could it be that it was washed away by the strong wind at sea in the ditch, and the way of the Chu State was touched, so that the elite died in the ditch, so that the Chu State invaded the sect of Huiji and exterminated the Yue Kingdom in less than two months!
Wrong!
Nothing seems to have been thought of at a crucial point......
"I'm afraid that the ditches opened up by manpower are not enough for such a large warship to pass!" I want to talk about "The Rise of Xiongqin" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
