Chapter Seventy-Two: Feud
The whole discussion did not come to a conclusion in the end, but Wei Tiange must fight the Chu State, due to the previous experience, this time the main general was replaced by Xie Wang, and Song Xuan was sent to contact the Jin State.
At this time, only Wei Tiange and Dongfang Yu were left in the Zhaoxin Hall of Yan Kingdom, and the two walked out of the main hall talking about it, and then walked into the famous imperial garden of Yan Kingdom.
The imperial garden of Yan is the most famous existence in the whole Yan country, here the four seasons are like spring, the scenery is pleasant, and they are all built according to the style of their Yan country, showing the royal majesty, and it is not only planted with the precious flowers and plants of the Yan country, but also has the rare plants of Chu and Jin and other places.
The long wooden building is long, Wei Tiange walks in front, and the colorful flowers blooming around him decorate the aisle extremely gorgeously. And Dongfang Yu walked behind him, answering from time to time.
Suddenly, Wei Tiange stopped, stretched out his hand to pick a mountain chrysanthemum that stretched into the corridor in his hand, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and sighed: "What is the Chu State like, I have always been curious, even the flowers of the Chu Kingdom are very desirable."
Dongfang Yu, who stopped at the moment, pointed to this flower and said: "The land of Chu has always been poor, and it is only suitable for growing this kind of flower plant in the cold winter, this kind of flower plant has always bloomed in winter, and now standing in this imperial garden, although it is warm as spring, it still blooms in winter, it is not easy."
"National teacher, you are knowledgeable and erudite, can you tell me about the state of Chu, why my father and emperor have been attacking the state of Chu at the beginning, and even when he died, he still remembers it", when there is no one in private, Wei Tiange has a lot of respect for Dongfang Yu, if he is not there, it is difficult to say whether Wei Tiange's throne can sit firmly.
"Chu State, it was a place a long time ago, it is really nostalgic", Dongfang Yu sighed and told Wei Tianshu about Chu State.
"The founding monarch of Chu is called Chu Fangqiu, that is, the Chu Shengwang of Chu, in that ancient era, he led his people to expand the territory and slowly accumulated the wealth of Chu, and their people have been living in the southwest of the Central Plains, and have always lived and worked in peace and contentment."
"At the beginning, the land of Chu was not rich, it was the diligent cultivation of their ancestors, which was passed down from generation to generation, and only then did we have the rich Chu country we see now."
"Because of the humid climate of Chudi, the autumn and winter seasons are extremely bitter and cold, and the customs of where are also determined by the climate, in spring and summer, it is the season for them to work, but in autumn and winter, they will recuperate."
"In the long development, the Chu State has also had a glorious time, that is, in this more than 100 years ago, Chu Shenzong, he was a person of the same era as the last two monarchs of the Yan State, and under his leadership, the Chu State became a country with the Jin State and the Yan State."
"Before him, the Central Plains had always regarded Chu as a barbarian country, until the emergence of Chu Shenzong, he did two major things, the first was to send troops to attack Liao."
"That is, the former Yan State, when the Liao State and the Jin State were unified countries, the Jin State was only the fief of King Wen of Jin at that time, more than 100 years ago, King Wen of Jin and his brother at that time the prince of Yan State competed for the throne, but failed, so King Wen of Jin established himself as the king in his fief, which is today's Jin State."
"However, the Liao State had a large number of troops, so it launched the Liao-Jin War to recover the Jin land, and the Jin State was defeated."
"At this time, King Wen of Jin turned to the state of Chu, which was prosperous at that time, and was willing to cede the three states of Jin as a gift for the state of Chu to send troops, and the original state of Chu was only eleven states."
"Wait, didn't you say that there were eleven states in Chu back then, plus the three states ceded by the Jin State, then he should be fourteen states, so why are there only thirteen states on the map of Chu now?" Wei Tiange heard Dongfang Yu's loophole and asked.
"This is what I will say later, the second big thing that Chu Shenzong has done, the monarch is waiting for me to talk about it slowly."
"Chu Shenzong sent troops, no one thought that a barbarian country would have such a strong combat effectiveness, and the State of Chu sent an army of 50,000 to directly insert it in the Weishui Plain, where Liao and Jin were fighting, and tore the two armies apart."
"After that, the army of the Liao State had to return to the dynasty, and with the addition of the Chu State, the Jin State was also successfully divided."
"However, when the State of Chu went to the State of Jin to ask for the three states promised, the State of Jin was extremely arrogant and unwilling to cede the three states, and Chu Shenzong was angry and sent troops again, and directly hit Lingdu, the capital of the State of Jin, and Duke Wen of Jin was frightened and promised to fulfill his promise."
"Chu Shenzong has hit the Lingdu, why don't you occupy it directly, but ask Jin Wengong for it?"
"Good question, the Chu people have been simple since ancient times, and they are even more important, if they are not their own, they will not ask for more, but if it is their own, if you don't give it, then I will call over and let you cash it."
Dongfang Yu said with a radiant look, and he didn't notice it at all, and Wei Tiange next to him looked at him suspiciously.
"The second thing I want to say is, 'Chu returned to the state', before the Chu State sent troops to lead to the division of the Liao State, so the king of the Liao State, that is, your grandfather, sent someone to the Chu State, Chu Shenzong was extremely angry after learning the reason for the matter, and was deceived by the Duke of Jin Wen."
"But Chu Shenzong thought that he had lost a large number of people in two wars, and it was not appropriate for him to give away the three states that he had come with great difficulty like this, so Ji Nan Prefecture, which was the closest to the Liao State among the three states that Chu State obtained, was returned to the Liao State."
"At this point, the State of Chu has been out of the limelight, and it has suddenly jumped from a small barbarian country to a big country comparable to the Jin State and the Yan State, and this is a great shame for the Yan State, so the successive monarchs of the Yan State have taken the destruction of Chu as their great responsibility."
"I've finished talking about what I know, I don't know what else my emperor wants to ask"? After saying all this, Dongfang Yu stood quietly behind Wei Tiange with his hands down.
"I see, the national teacher is from Chu!" The unexpected inquiry made Dongfang Yu startled.
I was still talking about the feud between Chu and Yan just now, but now a Chu person is fighting behind the monarch of Yan State, and no one is a little worried.
"Yes, I'm from the Chudi Sword Pavilion."
Dongfang Yu didn't lie, because he knew that he couldn't fool Wei Tiange.
"But the monarch, I didn't say anything for the Chu State before, but the celestial phenomena are like this."
Wei Tiange waved his hand and didn't pursue it further, indicating that he didn't care about this.
"I want to know what the celestial phenomenon that the national teacher said is saying, and I don't want anyone to lie to me."
"This," Dongfang Yu hesitated, not knowing what to say.
"National teacher, you must know me," Dongfang Yu was stunned by an inexplicable sentence.
