"He's still there?"

"Alas, I, Qin, will not send troops, so what's the use of begging bitterly?"

Yongcheng of Qin State.

At the gate of Miyagi, the doctors rushed in.

Every time I pass by, I can't help but glance at the palace wall.

Just because there was an unkempt man standing by the wall.

It's been fifteen days.

This person is none other than Shen Baoxu.

Compared with Yingdu's imminent danger and command, Shen Baoxu's eyes were dull and his body was shaky, which was inferior to the beggars on the street.

Under the walls of Qin Jun's palace, beggars are naturally not allowed to stand, but he is different, what he is begging for is not rice and grain, but political assistance.

Shen Baoxu came to Qin, hoping that Qin would help Dachu and resist the invasion of small countries.

Three months ago, Zhou Tianzi angrily reprimanded the state of Chu for not being a minister and called on the princes of the world to discuss it.

Chu proclaimed himself king, and the relationship with Zhou Tianzi has always been the most tense, which is a well-known thing in the world, but this time it was announced to the world, and Zhou Tianzi's words were unprecedentedly intense.

Jin Qi was worried about internal and external troubles, Jiang Wu did not react, and other countries saw a good opportunity and prepared troops.

Not only with a high-sounding reason, but also with the alliance of small countries, which did not return after the war.

After the Jin Dynasty was destroyed, only Jiang Guo withdrew his troops and returned to China, and the kings of other small countries all became guests of the Prince of Chu, and they also watched the enthronement ceremony.

After all, their appearance saved the destruction of the Chu State, and the Prince of Chu is the leader of the alliance, so he should stay.

After staying, it was the distribution of benefits, and the five vassal states first proposed to expand their territory, and the remaining eight countries also wanted their territory.

The country of Chu is vast and rich, and the border is a relatively desolate area, so the king of Chu wants to agree.

However, after Kong Qiu entered Chu, he strongly admonished the king of Chu that he promised treasures and could not cede the land.

This is undoubtedly correct from the perspective of later generations, but in fact, in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was no concept that the land could not be separated.

Because of the successive wars, this is overcome, and it is very common to swallow the land of other countries, and when the next battle is defeated, it will spit out the city in hand.

But the king of Chu was young and strong-blooded, so he didn't want to give in to him, so he immediately listened to what Kong Qiu said.

The kings of the thirteen kingdoms were very dissatisfied.

If you exert your strength, the casualties are not light, and if you don't get benefits, you will be sent away?

If the Chu State was still at its peak, they would not dare to be presumptuous, and they would eventually retreat obediently, but now, Chu is no longer the so-called Great Chu!

Seeing that the alliance would not leave and led the army to stay, the king of Chu was furious and wanted to transfer troops to drive away, but was stopped by Confucius, and asked the Confucian disciples to persuade him with righteousness to "invite" all the allies out.

As a result, the Confucian disciples were defeated.

The virtue of the gentleman, the virtue of the villain, and the wind on the grass will be gone.

The spread of the gentleman's wind is enough to make the grass fall with the wind, this is the belief of Confucius to educate the world, but this time, the king of a small country who came for the benefit obviously did not eat him.

In fact, Confucianism at this time can be called a wealth of talents, and each disciple is both civil and military, and it is by no means the kind of show talent that meets soldiers in later generations, and the corrupt Confucianism and cynicism who are unreasonable and unreasonable, govern all parts of the country, and confront small countries, which should not have been a fiasco.

But it's a pity that the state of Chu itself has a huge chain of interests, and Confucianism wants to gain a firm foothold, just relying on the king of Chu who has just ascended the throne, which is too much to take for granted.

Under the constraints of the clan family, the Confucian disciples struggled, the allies of small countries began to divide one side, and the Chu State, which had already encountered great difficulties, became even more turbulent.

Other small countries saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and naturally flocked in and bloomed everywhere.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen Baoxu sent an envoy to the Qin State, begging the Qin Jun to send troops to expel the small country, and did not hesitate to cede the northwest of Dongting Lake to the Qin State.

However, Shen Baoxu pleaded again and again, Qin Guojun just prevaricated, Shen Baoxu was helpless, refused to go to the pavilion to live, so he leaned on the palace wall outside the Qin palace, did not drink or eat, went on a hunger strike to sprout his ambition, and cried loudly all day long from morning to night, his perseverance and perseverance were moving.

When Shen Baoxu and Wu Zixu were both Chuchen, they were originally close friends, and the two were later called Spring and Autumn Erxu, and they both had a kind of resilience that would never give up until they reached their goal.

It's a pity that in this life, there is no good story of crying Qin Ting, and there is no heirloom poem with his son.

Shen Baoxu didn't drink or eat for half a month, and finally lost his breath.

Until his death, he still looked in the direction of Yingdu in the distance, his eyes revealed a thick despair, Qin Jun respected his loyalty, collected the body, and sent it back to the Chu State.

Historically, Qin Xiang rescued the Chu State, not because he was moved by Shen Baoxu, let alone the so-called marriage relationship.

Qin Jin also has the good of Qin Jin, and it is not a stab at each other, saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, all of which are choices after weighing the pros and cons.

Once it occupies the state of Chu, it will inevitably wave its army and point directly at all countries, and at that time, even if Qin is in the west, there is also a risk.

Sending troops to aid Chu, on the one hand, can curb the development of Wu, and on the other hand, it can also allow Chu to continue to oppose Jin Qi in the north, so that Qin can retreat and recuperate, and accumulate national strength.

But now the situation is completely different.

The state of Wu has no strength to forge ahead, the Jin civil turmoil is turbulent, and the Qin state is ready to move, hoping to take advantage of this great opportunity to go out of the east and break through the blockade of the Jin state.

In this case, the more chaotic the Chu State is, the more beneficial it will be to Qin, otherwise there is a risk of being attacked on both sides.

And Shen Baoxu's body has not yet been transported, and Chu has been occupied by thirty-two small countries, and there are soldiers everywhere.

A palatial palace, no matter how strong and spacious it is, is full of termites and insects, constantly eroding, and the end can only collapse with a bang.

Today's Da Chu is like this.

However, the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, and the counterattack of the King of Chu and the Confucian Sect was also extremely fierce, and the clan forces also found that the situation was critical and fully cooperated.

Thousands of miles of territory, full of war.

Burn the enemy, burn yourself.

......

A few months later, in the territory of Shen State.

The officials were looking forward to it, and a team could be seen in the distance, and they suddenly let out irrepressible cheers.

"Jiang Guoyun's grain team is here!"

"Fortunately, there is Jiang Guo, who has always adhered to the way of benevolence and virtue and rescued me, otherwise the king will not return for a long time, and the domestic people's grievances will be boiling, and they will not be able to support it for a long time!"

"Alas, the country of Chu is vast and rich in products, which is comparable to a small country like us, and the king has long been reluctant to come back!"

In front of the public, everyone talked about it, and they had no scruples.

It was really King Shen who left his country behind, divided the counties and counties within Great Chu, monopolized one side, and lived a good life.

Even if it is a territory of the same size, how can the spiritual power of a small country be comparable to the great Chu of thousands of acres of spiritual fields and treasures of heaven and earth?

The king was reluctant to return, and continued to draw troops to consolidate his territory in the state of Chu, and the people in the country could suffer.

At this time, Jiang Guo's assistance arrived.

"I'm late, I hope you will forgive me!"

Wen Chong personally led the team, got off the carriage, and explained to everyone: "The mountain road is rugged and difficult, and we have to lay a new grain road for future exchanges between the two countries, so it is delayed!"

"Well said!

This time, there were not only miscellaneous grains, but even spiritual grains taken by the nobles, and the smiles of those officials were even more enthusiastic, and they turned a blind eye to the so-called laying of the grain road and the spread of the divine pattern.

"Farewell!"

The culture was vigorous and resolute, sending grain and grass everywhere, bowing his hand, and turning around to return to the team.

"Let's go, go to the country of Don!"
