readx;???? Xiang Zhuang watched an ordinary tun chief walk towards him, and he didn't care too much about the confusion, but after this tun chief came to him and knelt down on one knee to him, Xiang Zhuang couldn't continue to be indifferent. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

He looked at the tun chief puzzled, and asked the other party: "I don't know what you mean by this?"

The tun chief raised his head and looked at Xiang Zhuang, and when he saw the haggard expression of this young general, he was a little unbearable in his heart, but he had to say his thoughts: "General, there are many people outside who may be relatives of many brothers, although the official position is humble, but I hope the general can listen to me, that is, let these brothers leave this camp and let them reunite with their relatives." ”

When Xiang Zhuang heard this, his eyes became more and more indifferent to look at this Tun Chang, who was in his thirties, and he roared after a while: "Do you know what you're talking about? Qin Dog's army is preparing to act outside, you asked me to let the officers and soldiers under my command go to those people outside, do you really want the king's foundation to be ruined?"

Xiang Zhuang's words made many people involuntarily feel a trace of anger. Because in the hearts of these people, if it weren't for Xiang Yu, I'm afraid they wouldn't have done such a thing. And Xiang Zhuang actually ignored this fact and continued to use Xiang Yu as a cover, didn't this make them angry?

But the chief did not show his anger on his face, because for him, no matter how angry he was, as long as the matter had not reached the point of no return, he did not want to destroy this opportunity because of his own impulse.

He was not one of the meticulous personnel under Chen Ping, and he was even more dissatisfied with the decrees of the Qin Dynasty before he joined the Chu army after Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew captured Pengcheng a few years ago.

But although this tun commander has a low level of education and does not know a lot about many things, he has been lucky in the past few years of fighting, and he has not died on the battlefield, and he has not even suffered serious injuries or anything.

And in the past few years of combat experience, he has learned a lot of things.

......

In the Battle of Julu in the autumn of 208 BC, he was also a member of the Chu army that went to the Julu area with the army to fight.

At that time, he did not fight against the Liaodong Army, but among the Qin officers and soldiers under Zhang Han who subsequently killed and surrendered, he was also one of the superintendents who were dispatched.

He couldn't forget that in a small valley in the Thorn Plain, he saw with his own eyes a few children from Guanzhong, who were less than sixteen years old, dug their own graves for themselves under the threat of many robes.

He could see the children's powerless but yearning struggle to survive as the dirt buried their bodies. It's a pity that he knows that he can't do something, and he can't do anything, because from the beginning to the end, the most he can do is do nothing, and he can only watch with regret in his heart as these children are buried forever in the thick soil of this small valley.

He didn't know why this was happening, because he didn't think that these people could die in this way, if not for surrendering. Not to mention, in a sense, these people have also become their robes, because even Zhang Han has surrendered, and these people can only continue to walk on the road of rebellion to the end.

It's just that the facts he witnessed in front of him made him finally be able to hide all this in his heart forever.

After the Battle of Julu, he became a military commander, leading several soldiers under his command to follow the army into Hangu Pass.

And on this way of marching, he saw a lot of things, and also saw the tyranny in Xiang Yu's heart.

For whether or not they strongly resisted them, as long as they were on the way to the army, then these towns survived and were not plundered or even slaughtered, very few.

He didn't do anything he didn't want to do, but he couldn't stop the will of others, especially Xiang Yu, who was their commander and the leader of the allies, and could only silently stick to his bottom line. Several times, some of the soldiers under his command were provoked by what happened in front of him, and he did not stop the other party openly, but said to these young people who were still quite young and even young children: "We are still alone, and these things, do you think one person can do them?"

These people had a lot of respect for him, and after thinking about the meaning of this phrase and what it meant for them, they gave up the idea of being involved themselves.

In fact, there were still many officers and soldiers of Chu at that time who were able to maintain their bottom line, but there were too few of them, and there was not even one who could change this kind of thing.

Fan Zeng may be able to change all this, but he didn't make some means to stop it, because for him, this kind of thing is certainly something he doesn't want to happen, but he can't stop it, otherwise even if he is still quite respected and trusted by Xiang Yu at that time, I'm afraid it won't change this kind of thing.

In the attack and defense of Hangu Pass in 207 BC, this tun chief also participated in the battle. But his luck was good, and because of some factors, he and some of the soldiers under his command did not join the tragic battle that made the children of Chu extremely sad and caused many lives to be lost.

And because he himself has some experience in herbal medicine, in the retreat of the large-scale epidemic outbreak after the war, several soldiers under his command did not pay the price of their lives because of this.

He also saw such a thing, because before he retreated, he saw a problem, that is, there should be something wrong in the rear, otherwise there would not have been no previous grain convoy for several days.

It wasn't until a very few lucky people were able to retreat back to the Rongyang area with the defeat of the remnants of the army, that he learned a thing from the exchanges of some people, that is, Zhang Jiashi suddenly came from somewhere, and attacked and broke through Aocang, which was the place where the army was strewn.

Later, because Xiang Yu was defeated, he forcibly held a princes' alliance to maintain his position as the leader of the alliance, and was appointed as the chief because of the serious damage of the officers and soldiers at that time.

The promotion of the military position is not a bad thing for this middle-aged man, but he knows one thing very well, that is, Xiang Yu is indeed able to maintain his position as the head of the princes by doing this, but Xiang Yu seems to have left King Chu Huai behind.

King Chu Huai has long been quite dissatisfied with Xiang Yu's tyrannical behavior, and Xiang Yu, in order to maintain his position, bypassed King Chu Huai, held an alliance of princes without authorization, established himself as the king and divided the world, such a thing is naturally impossible for King Chu Huai to tolerate.

What kind of reaction King Chu Huai would make, he didn't know, he looked at Xiang Yu on the altar at that time, who seemed to be in high spirits again, and he had an idea in his heart, that is, Xiang Yu could be regarded as reaching his peak this time, but maybe this was also the beginning of Xiang Yu's prosperity and decline.

He didn't say his thoughts to anyone, and he didn't intend to pass them on to his family, because maybe on that day, he would leave his life forever because of the soldiers on the battlefield.

The things after that seemed to correspond to his thoughts, because Chu Huai Wang Xiong Xin was indeed forced to death by Xiang Yu in the end because of some stupid orders, but the situation after that also made Xiang Yu lose the last and best opportunity to dominate the world. Because of the frequent internal turmoil, Xiang Yu and the Xiang family are exhausted, if it weren't for the Qu Jingzhao family in this aspect, in order to maintain their powerful position and tied up with Xiang Yu, I am afraid that this civil strife is enough to make Xiang Yu and the Xiang family become historical dust.

Over the course of several years, he became a tun commander, and a few months earlier, he had joined the army in the battle against Jimo.

He was not optimistic about Chu's plan to attack Jimo, because in many ways, the Chu army did not have an advantage over the Qin army, and even in terms of attack operations, in the face of the Qin army with the advantage of Lou Ship, more Chu troops could only rely on land troops to attack the fortifications, and finally could only use their lives as a way to open the road to victory. Of course, this road to victory was not opened in the end. Because the Qin army also launched a full-scale attack on Chu Land in the future.

The 50 officers and soldiers of a tun under his command did not suffer much loss in the Battle of Jimo, because in the past few years, under his intentional or unintentional operation, this unit has gradually become an auxiliary force responsible for logistics.

They didn't need to fight without suffering fundamental casualties from the army at the front, and this was a way for him to be able to protect the young men under his command.

He didn't mind that he was just a small tun chief in charge of logistics until now, and he didn't mind the ridicule of some people who were lucky and had a big fate, who joined the group at the same time as him, and even had to join the Chu army at night, and who had higher official positions than him, because he only had one thought, that is, if he could live to see his family.

He doesn't have anything to do well now, because he knows that the more outstanding people are in this situation, the more they will be ruthless by the battlefield, and they will stay on a battlefield forever as a corpse.

He didn't care if his ancestors would say that he was a disgrace to his family, or that he was a bloodline who had survived the coup d'état.

His name is Wu Chong, and his ancestor is Wu Zi Wu Qi, who was enough to influence people in many countries hundreds of years ago.

......

His ancestor was Wu Qizai, who went to Chu and was given a concubine by the king of Chu.

According to the genealogy handed down in his own family, his ancestor was after Wu Qi defected to the state of Chu, and the king of Chu Mourning always admired Wu Qi's talent, appointed Wu Qi as the Taishou of Wancheng, and was promoted to the child born to Ling Yin for such a period of time a year later.

But after Wu Qi experienced the affairs of Lu and Wei, he was not very worried that his family would not have any problems going to Yingdu, so after thinking about it, he entrusted his wife and children to Qu Yijiu.

Although Qu Yijiu was quite opposed to Wu Qi's reform and change, and thought that Wu Qi would not end well in the end, but in his dealings with Wu Qi, Qu Yijiu recognized Wu Qi's ability, and after he knew Wu Qi's entrustment, he just said a paragraph: "Wu Taishou went to the current Ling Yin, this is a desperate road, but the son of a gentleman is not endless, and this son Qu family should take care of one or two!"

As if to confirm Qu Yijiu's words, Wu Qi has indeed embarked on a brilliant but no way out.

King Mourning appointed Wu Qi as Ling Yin, implemented a change in the law, and announced in the court: Ling Yin's order is my order, and those who dare to disobey will be killed! Wu Qi was very grateful to the mourning king for his kindness, and was determined to fully display his ambitions and serve the Chu State. Therefore, as soon as he took office, he began to reform in a big way.

On the political front, Wu Qi curtailed the privileges of the great nobles and enacted clear decrees limiting the power of the ministers. For example, the promulgation of the "Decree on the Reduction of the Lord", the reduction is the reduction and reduction, the Jue is the title, and the Lu is the salary, that is, the salary of the official. Obviously, this was aimed at the ministers and vassals, that is, to reduce their titles, to reduce their domains, and to reduce their subjects. According to different objects, there are different specific practices such as "loss", "receiving", and "leveling".

In terms of economy, Wu Qi actively developed remote areas. Wu Qi "went to the land of the real and the void" of the nobles who had taken back Juelu, that is, to the vast and sparsely populated areas, especially to the south of the Chu state. In this way, not only did a lot of new cultivated land be reclaimed and the grain of the Chu State increased, and these nobles lost their income, and some of them turned from parasites into self-supporting laborers; moreover, the land they originally occupied was returned to the state (king) and could be leased to landless and landless peasants. In this way, not only did it increase state revenue, but it also eased class contradictions.

In terms of military affairs, Wu Qi suggested that the mourning king "encourage the armor soldiers and strive for the benefit of the world with time", that is, to build a strong army, which is of course more in line with the king's intentions. Wu Qi suggested that the money recovered and the money saved by the reduction of officials should be used to raise soldiers and expand armaments. In addition, in response to the situation of the Chu State, the corresponding military merit system was improved to enhance the combat efficiency of the Chu army.

However, after the brilliance, Wu Qi finally embarked on a dead end......

In 381 BC, King Mourning of Chu died, and the nobles of Chu took the opportunity to launch a mutiny against Wu Qi. The nobles wounded Wu Qi with arrows, and Wu Qi pulled out his arrows and fled to the place where the mortuary of the king of Chu mourned, stuck the arrow in the corpse of the king of Chu mourning, and shouted: "The ministers rebelled and plotted to kill my king." "The nobles shot Wu Qi and also shot the body of King Chu Mourning. The law of the state of Chu stipulates that harming the body of the king is a felony and will be exterminated by the three clans. After King Chu Su succeeded to the throne, he ordered Yin to execute all the people who shot Wu Qi and shot the body of King Chu Mourning, and more than 70 people were implicated and exterminated. [44-45] Yang Chengjun fled the country for his involvement in this matter, and his fief was confiscated. [46] Wu Qi's body was also dismembered. [47-48] After Wu Qi's death, his reform in the state of Chu failed.
