However, under the absolute superiority of the Chu army, even if the Yue people resisted bravely, it did not change the fact that the territory of the Yue State was occupied by the Chu State. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the end of July, the king of Chu led a large army, crossed the Yangtze River, and came to the stone mountain on the bank of the Yangtze River.

At this time, the army of Yue was pursued all the way by the Chu army, and less than 30,000 people fled back to Yue. The hatred in the heart of the king of Chu also dissipated a lot, so he began to climb this stone mountain to worship the sky.

However, when he climbed this not high mountain and looked into the distance, he found that although this mountain is not high, the terrain around it is very distinctive: there is a mountain in the east that resembles a "dragon pan", a mountain in the west that resembles a "tiger", a big lake in the north, a high hill in the south, and a wide Yangtze River not far away that resembles a moat. In the eyes of the King of Chu, this stone mountain is even more dangerous than the land of Yan Ying in the Chu State!

He was subconsciously very sensitive to such terrain. How good it would be if such a terrain appeared in the core area of the Chu State, but it was a pity that it appeared on the land of the Yue Kingdom! When the king of Chu looked at the terrain in front of him, he seemed to see a piece of purple qi coming out of the ground in a trance, and he subconsciously hated this feeling very much, so he summoned Tang Yi, the best feng shui master in Chu State, to ask.

After Tang Yi observed the terrain here very carefully, he said to the King of Chu: "Although this stone mountain looks ordinary, it has the potential of a dragon and a tiger!" And the purple qi that the king saw was really the king's qi, and the royal qi here was also extremely prosperous, and the king could only see it with his own eyes as the king! This is the emperor's house! His Majesty congratulates the king, the king has this emperor's house, with this place, he will dominate the world in the future, and it is not far away! ”

King Chu's face immediately became extremely gloomy, and he asked Tang Yi, "What is there to congratulate?" Not long ago, this was still the land of the Yue Kingdom, even if the widow got here, would they have to give up the capital and move the capital here? Since my Chu State can't move the capital, then this imperial mansion is naturally not something that my Chu State can use. If this place is left unattended, then won't there be another emperor here in the future who threatens my Chu State? With such a terrain, my Chu country will not be at peace for a day! ”

Tang Yi immediately kowtowed to the King of Chu and apologized.

Then the king of Chu asked: "Since you said that this is the emperor's mansion, there is a royal spirit." The widow asked you, do you have a way to break the feng shui of this place and vent the royal spirit of this place? ”

Tang Yi was immediately heartbroken! In his opinion, who is proficient in feng shui, this stone mountain is a treasure land! How can it be destroyed?

However, when the king of Chu asked, he also had to answer: "The stone mountain dragon is entrenched, and he is born with the spirit of an emperor, if you want to suppress it, you must invite the gods in the sky to do it." In the opinion of the ministers, the king can bury the golden statue of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi here, please use his clone to suppress this place! No matter how dangerous the terrain is, how powerful the emperor's mansion is, and with the suppression of the supreme heaven and earth of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, this place will inevitably become a Jedi! In the future, no matter if any heroes dare to establish hegemony here, they will not succeed! ”

The king of Chu listened to Tang Yi's advice, so he was not busy chasing the remaining fleeing Vietnamese army, he began to mobilize a large army to dig a cave in the mountain that matched Tang Yi's words, and then mobilized a large army to build a stone city on the stone mountain.

When Dai Yan surrendered Wu Yi, he also began to lead his army westward, and soon he also arrived at the side of the stone mountain.

Seeing that the army of Chu did not pursue the remnants of the Yue army, but dug a hole to build a city here, he was very surprised, so he asked Zhao Sui about it. When Zhao Sui told the truth, Dai Yan only felt incredible, the king of Chu would actually believe such an absurd thing?

Then it went to see the king of Chu, and he said to the king of Chu: "The king did not go to pursue the Yue army and built a city here to bury gold, dare to ask why?" ”

The king of Chu replied: "The remaining remnants of the Yue army are no longer to be worried, and there is a royal spirit here, which threatens the safety of my Chu country, and the widow will inevitably destroy the feng shui of this place and destroy the royal spirit of this place!" ”

After hearing this, Dai Yan laughed, and then he asked the king of Chu: "Dare to ask the king, in the past, the capital of Yao, the soil of Shun, and the seal of Yu, its feng shui is good?" ”

The king of Chu replied, "Naturally, it is good. ”

"Then dare to ask the king, now the kingdom of the first king is safe?"

The king of Chu was speechless. So Dai Yan said: "The theory of feng shui luck is very mysterious, the rise and fall of the world, humanity first, and Shinto last." However, the king gave up the humanitarian matter of continuing to attack the Yue Kingdom because of the Shinto matter, and the kid thought it was very unwise! ”

The king of Chu then retorted: "Even if the theory of feng shui is false, it is not credible. However, this place is full of dragons and tigers, and there is a natural danger of the Yangtze River, if others occupy this place, it will not be able to ensure the prosperity of the future, and threaten the safety of our Chu country. The widow has to guard against this.

Dai Yan then said: "The kid thinks that the king's words are wrong, and since ancient times, the country is not in danger in Germany!" In the past, the Sanmiao clan had a cave on the left and Peng Li on the right, but they did not cultivate morality, so they were destroyed by Yu; Where Xia Wei was located, there was Heji on the left, Taihua on the left, sheep intestines in the north, and Yique in the south, he did not practice benevolence, so he was finally exiled by Shang Tang; Where the Shang kingdom is located, there is Longmen on the left, Taihang on the right, Changshan is to the north, and the great river passes through its south, but its cultivation does not follow virtue, and is finally killed by King Wu. From this point of view, the solidity of the country is in virtue and not in danger. If the state of Chu is good at cultivating virtue, then even if the terrain here is dangerous, what is there to fear? ”

When the king of Chu heard this, he woke up like a dream and said to Dai Yan: "Ziyan, you are so right! It's a pity that the widow is shrewd, but now he has committed such a foolish thing, which makes Ziyan smile. Then he sent an order to stop burying gold.

However, the terrain of this place is indeed dangerous enough, although the state of Chu will not use this place as the national capital, but it is still very good as a border fortress. Therefore, the move of building a city on a stone hill did not stop, because the city was built on a stone mountain, and the whole city was built of stones from the mountain, and the Chu people called it a stone city. And because of the incident of burying gold, the king of Chu personally named this stone city Jinling according to the custom of the Chu State.

When the king of Chu reacted again and began to send a large army to continue the attack on Yue, the Song-Chu coalition army had already missed the best opportunity to destroy Yue. A partial division of the Chu State invaded near Huiji, the capital of the Yue State, but was resisted by the soldiers and civilians of the Yue State. The generals of the Chu army saw that the Vietnamese army was strong, so they had to withdraw the army unwillingly.

The king of Chu was immediately furious, in his opinion, the current Yue Kingdom has its last breath left, and it must be destroyed in one breath! When the state of Chu wanted to continue the whole army to the south to attack the state of Yue, Dai Yan dissuaded the behavior of the king of Chu.

In his opinion, the Yue Kingdom had already been divided into three after the defeat of Fuli, and if the Song and Chu coalition forces did not pursue, they would have internal strife. And if the pursuit is too hasty, they will unite instead, which is really unwise.

So Dai Yan, as the deputy marshal of the Song army, presented his strategy to the king of Chu and the state of Chu to deal with the Yue State - watching the fire from the other side.

The Song-Chu coalition forces stayed where they were, did not attack the Yuedu, and allowed the domestic situation in the Yue Kingdom to continue to develop. This kind of strategy made Sun Bin, a military strategist who had to follow Tian Ji, amazed, and he said to Tian Ji: "This young man is so young, but he is proficient in the most important military position in the way of soldiers, it is really terrifying. ”

And the king of Chu also accepted Dai Yan's advice, and began to withdraw all the troops sent to the Yue country, and devoted all of them to the cause of building Stone City. In September, when the stone city was built and the Song and Chu coalition forces were preparing to return to China, the tribes in the Yue Kingdom actually sent the head of the prince to the country. As a result, all the tribes in the Yue State surrendered to the Chu State and began to pay tribute to the Chu State.

After the surrender of the Yue Kingdom, the territory of the Chu State reached a peak in the hands of the King of Chu Wei: from Daba Mountain, Wushan Mountain, and Wuling Mountain in the west, to the sea in the east, from Wuling in the south, to Ru and Ying in the north, the territory area reached an astonishing 1.5 million square kilometers of territory!

However, after completing such a feat, the king of Chu was still not satisfied, and in his opinion, this southern territory was not important. Only by attacking to the north and defeating Wei Qi and other countries is his true glory!

The state of Chu also saw the power of the Song state from the war against the Yue state, so when dividing the territory of the Yue state, the king of Chu generously gave the territory occupied by the Song state along the Huai River and the Han ditch to the Song state. As a result, the Song State obtained almost the entire East China Sea and most of the Jiuyi region, and if you look at it purely from the perspective of territorial expansion, the territory of the Song State has almost doubled directly!

However, neither Zixi, Le Cheng and Hua Rong, who stayed in the country, nor Sima Xiangshe, who led the army abroad, were complacent because of such expansion. Because in this era, most of these areas were swamps, forests, and other areas that were not suitable for human habitation, except for a small number of excavated farmland. These barren lands were occupied by the people of Dongyi, and for the Song State, these places could not be quickly converted into national strength for the time being.

But Dai Yan was very happy. Although these places are currently barren land in the eyes of the world, he knows the potential of this area in the future. What's more, as long as the ditch is mastered, it will be possible to go down to the core area of Wuyue by waterway in the future.

In Dai Yan's heart, this core area known as "Jiangnan" in the future is the greatest treasure of this era!
