Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Dispute over Dingchu
PS: Because there was something wrong with the body some time ago, so stop changing, I hope you forgive me!
Let's say that the generals such as the soldiers entered the Yingdu with King Wu, and searched for King Zhao everywhere, knowing that King Zhao had fled. Although he had the intention to send troops to visit and chase after him, he saw that He Lu was in the flowers all day long, and he couldn't see King Wu's dignity for several days, so the soldiers had to give up.
After settling the security of Yingdu, Wu Yuan led several henchmen back to his former Wu Taishi's Mansion. But I saw that this place was already ruined, and the grass was green. After asking the surrounding residents, I learned that after King Chuping beheaded the Wu family, Fei Wuji occupied the Wu Mansion. Later, Fei Wuji was killed by Nangwa and set fire to the mansion, and now only a barren hill remains.
The things of the past slowly came to mind, and the great doctors and scholars of the Chu State and the Manchu Dynasty became enemies in the eyes of the soldiers.
So the soldiers led the troops to occupy the mansion of Gongzixi as their own place to stay. On this day, the soldiers set up a banquet in Zixi Mansion to feast Sun Wu, Bo Yao, Zhuan Yi, Gongzishan and other doctors.
After three rounds of drinking, the soldier said hatefully: "It's a pity that King Ping died early, and now King Zhao is nowhere to be found." How can I repay the deep hatred of my Wu family? ”
Sun Wu persuaded: "King Ping has returned to heaven for many years, why is Zixu obsessed with Huaiye? Today, Chu Jun broke the country and lost his family, and your great revenge can be regarded as revenge. ”
The soldier shook his head and said, "For today, my soldier has been hating for sixteen years!" How many sins have I suffered for this day? Now that it is not easy to attack Yingdu, King Wu can destroy Chu and win the Central Plains, how can my soldiers not take revenge? But right now, King Zhao is still there, and Chu is still not destroyed! ”
The generals were silent, Sun Wu pondered for a long time, sighed and said: "Although Zixu has the ambition to soar to the sky, according to my shallow opinion, the Chu State has not been destroyed!" At the moment, our most haode strategy is weak. First of all, it is necessary to cut the land and fill the population. If Wu wants to become a great power, it must expand its territory and population gradually. However, the country of Chu is so big, I can't destroy it! ”
The soldiers disagreed: "Yingdu has been broken, the state of Chu has lost its vitality, and the day of annihilation is not far away!" Today, after we have drunk and enjoyed ourselves, we will go to the house of Dr. Chu, and we will have beautiful concubines for us to have fun and recreation. ”
So the generals of Wu State, after they were full of wine and food, divided the homes of Dr. Chu. adulterous his wife and concubine, occupy his house. The monarchs and ministers of Wu State prostituted themselves excessively, and the city of Yingdu was full of black smoke and miasma.
That Tang Hou and Cai Hou were held hostage by Nangwa in the past, and forcibly took away the beloved things of the two monarchs. Later, he was resentful and entangled Wu to send troops to attack Chu together. Now my wish has come true. Cai Hou and Tang Hou followed Gongzi Mountain with hundreds of elite soldiers. Surrounded the Nangwa Mansion. I want to see how rich the greedy Chu State Minister was in the past.
Because of the defeat and smuggling of the Nangwa, King Zhao did not have time to ask for the guilt, and He Lu had already arrived at the city of Yingdu. Therefore, the house is still full of jewelry, countless treasures and silks, and there has never been a broken family.
Cai Hou searched for his own mutton fat white jade and silver mink squirrel fur in Nangwane Province; In the tall and wide stable of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the pair of horseheads and horses seemed to know the old owner. The moment Tang Hou stepped into the stable, he raised his head and neighed, and his voice went straight into the sky.
Gongzishan saw that Cai and Tang Erjun had all gained, so he entered the inner room of Nangwa, and saw that Nangwa's newly married wife was still young. If you have the appearance of a sinking fish and a goose, you want to take it yourself. At this time, he saw the general's husband, and he also led dozens of families to Nangwa Mansion.
The husband forcibly expelled Gongzi Mountain, took the bride of Nangwa himself, and robbed the house of Nangwa.
After nearly ten days of chaos, the concubines of the Chu Palace were basically lewd all over the place, and then they remembered that the policy of determining Chu was undecided. He Lu knew that this whole day of drunken dreams and death, fat powder gas would corrode heroic spirit. His tens of thousands of tigers and wolves burned and looted in Yingdu, and they prostituted excessively. In the long run, it will not work, and then your own tiger master will become a group of cats who love their families.
On this day, he summoned Gu Xin, the leader of the guards, and asked him to pass on the order, and from tomorrow onwards, he would be promoted to the main hall of the Chu Palace.
He Lu looked at the group of civil ministers and generals under his command, it seemed that they were very nourishing here. I don't know if the red face is frozen in this winter that is not cold, or it is moisturized by the beauties of Yingdu, anyway, everyone's eyes are full of self-sufficiency. He Lu licked his dry lips, maybe he had been overindulged in the past few days, and the void fire was also a little hot.
He Lu spoke: "It has been almost a month since the attack on Yingdu, although King Zhao is missing, but the territory of Chu is vast, do you Aiqing have a plan for Chu?" ”
At this time, the soldiers had already come out of class and said, "The sign of a country's existence is the Jongmyo Temple. The ancestors often said that 'the temple is the same thing'. The minister thought that the state of Chu had always been at enmity with the state of Wu, and today the king has completed such a great feat. Now that the temple of the Chu State is here, why not destroy the Chu State and achieve my Great Wu? ”
"Sir, mean to destroy the temple of the King of Chu?"
The soldier nodded and said: "First destroy the temple of the Chu State and hit the confidence of the Chu State clan in recovering the country; Then divide the troops to guard several important towns in the Chu State, guard the border passes in the north, and guard against the princes' divisions in the north, so that Chu can be destroyed! ”
At this time, he saw Sun Wu coming out of class, and shouted loudly: "The king can't!" ”
Seeing that it was Sun Wu, he was a little surprised: "Could it be that the general has a different opinion?" ”
Sun Wudao: "If the teacher is famous, the right way is the way." The king must put faith first. Has the king ever thought that the state of Chu has today's disaster, isn't it the king of Chu who lost his morality first? ”
Sun Wu continued: "In the first time, King Chuping took the prince's daughter-in-law, appointed a traitor, and abolished the prince to kill Zhongliang; and distrust in the princes, so today we can stand on the high of the temple of the king of Chu. May I ask the king, with the size of the Chu country, how many cities can the tens of thousands of troops of our country defend? ”
He Lu hesitated for a moment and replied, "No more than thirty." ”
"And the cities of Chu have to be divided into troops to defend no less than a hundred cities. Regardless of whether these two or three thousand soldiers can defend a foreign city? ”
He Lu said: "It's difficult! ”
Therefore, the minister's strategy is: Now that the state of Chu has been broken, Mi Sheng, the son of the late prince of Chu, has fled to defend the country, and he is also the authentic of the Chu royal family. It is better for the king to establish Mi Sheng as the king of Chu, which has two benefits. ”
"What's in it for you? Didn't the general's plan keep us busy in vain? ”
"Definitely! First, the people of Chu State pity the prince Jian's injustice and his innocence, and it is acceptable to see that Mi Sheng is the king of the country to replace King Zhao, which means that Mi Sheng has the foundation of the people's hearts to sit firmly on the throne and the people can support him. The second is the temple of the Emperor of Chu State, who became the new monarch of Chu State, of course, was also given by the king, so he was naturally grateful to the king, and he would pay tribute every year. The king can also take the opportunity to seize some Chu lands adjacent to the border of Wu as a reward, and it is not impossible. In this way, there is no need to attack the cities of Chu one by one, and they still get huge benefits, and the minister thinks that this is the best policy for Dingchu. ”
"Although Sun Tzu's strategy has a lot less strength, and there is no need to attack the cities one by one, but we have already captured the most difficult Yingdu, and the other cities are not as powerful as a bamboo?" Wu Yuan has always had the intention of destroying Chu, so he will naturally oppose Sun Wu's buffer strategy.
Sun Wu reminded King Wu: "According to the minister's plan, on the surface, the king is pardoning Chu, but in fact he is getting Chu. Among the princes, the king also got a good reputation, so why bother to destroy Chu and make the princes jealous and resentful? According to the current national strength of Wu, it is not at all able to compete with the princes. Moreover, the minister was worried that the king was leading the troops outside, and the country would change after a long time. ”
But He Lu also has the heart to destroy Chu and is greedy for the country. So he didn't listen to Sun Wu's words, so he supported the Wu Yuan's policy of determining Chu: "The widow weighs again and again, since Yingdu is in hand, King Zhao has fled west, and the clan of Chu is like a lost dog." The state of Chu has basically been destroyed by us, and most of the work has been completed, why not take advantage of the victory to pursue it? Although Sun Wuzi's strategy can be soft in Chu, Mi Sheng can be grateful to the widow, and how can the queen of Chu be grateful to Wu for generations? Therefore, if the widow wants to solve this problem fundamentally, the only way is to destroy Chu! ”
King Wu formulated a strategy to destroy Chu, so the army led the army to the west of Yingdu, which is the place where the ancestral temples and ancestral tombs of the kings of the Chu State are enshrined, and it is the foundation of the royal family that symbolizes the orderly circulation of the Chu State.
As soon as the soldiers gave an order, the soldiers raised their torches, shouted, set fire to the temple of the king of Chu, and leveled dozens of tombs of the kings of Chu in the past, as if they wanted to erase the marks of dozens of generations of monarchs of the Chu country from here one by one.
Tang Hou and Cai Hou saw that the destruction of Chu could not be done overnight, so they said goodbye to King Wu and Lu, led their own soldiers and horses, and returned to China. (To be continued......)
