Professor Li pulled Chen Han and walked quickly all the way back to the cultural relics storage room.

As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to take out an A4 piece of paper and stuff it into Chen Han's arms.

"Xiao Chen, look at this inscription I interpreted!"

Chen Han had no choice but to temporarily suppress the desire to complain about the system in his heart, and unfolded this A4 paper to look at it.

On the paper is an inscription rubbed from the side of the No. 1 bell in Tomb M1.

Next to each inscription, Professor Li wrote his own translation.

"Wu Yan has (many) concubines, chaos, Western politics (conquest) and southern expeditions, which are added to Chu, (Jing) State (Xie?), and the Mandate of Heaven (will) be wrong. There are (Yan) Zeng Hou, (karma) Ji (Sheng), Yi Bo (fighting) Wu (Gong), Chu Ming is (Jing?), (Fu) (Ding) Chu King. ”

The words in parentheses are some fake characters or ancient traditional characters that are no longer used, and are replaced by modern simplified characters.

After reciting this commentary completely in his heart, Chen Hantong's hole suddenly enlarged.

"It's... What this inscription remembers is the historical event of "Wu Shi entered the battle of Ying, and the king of Chu avoided danger"?! ”

In "Zuo Chuan: The Fourth Year of Dinggong", a very important battle was recorded, and it was also a very well-known event in the late Spring and Autumn Period.

At that time, the reigning king of Wu was named Helu.

It was he who sent the Wu Wangzhi to assassinate, and the classic allusion "Zhuzhu Assassination Wang" was born.

After Zhuzhu killed the king of Wu, he became the new king of Wu.

During the reign of He Lu, he shocked the southeast, beat the Chu State several times, and even directly broke the capital of the Chu State when it was the most powerful, forcing the King of Chu to flee.

He also led an army to attack Goujian, the king of Yue, but was defeated by Goujian and died of serious injuries.

Later, his son's husband was poor, and in order to avenge his father, he not only broke through the Yue Kingdom, but also forced Gou Jian to lie down and taste courage.

It can be said that the most glorious period of the Yue Kingdom was when their father and son were in power, leaving many allusions and idioms in Chinese history.

And in "The Four Years of Dinggong", the peak moment of He Lu is clearly recorded.

"The Battle of Wu Pochu and Ying!"

From the third year of the reign of King Wu, he launched a campaign against the state of Chu and captured the Shuyi of the state of Chu.

In the fourth year of the reign of Helu, Helu attacked the state of Chu again and captured the Liuyi and Liyi of the state of Chu.

After five years of Ran, Henlu also took the time to attack the Yue Kingdom once, beating the Yue people honestly and settling their worries.

After six years of reign, the state of Chu was not convinced, and took the initiative to start a war with the state of Wu.

Then he was attacked head-on by Wu Jun, beaten fatly, and was once again taken away by Wu Guo a piece of land.

In the ninth year of the reign of Helu, Helu felt that the state of Wu was already strong and strong, and he was not afraid of the state of Chu at all, so he could have a thrilling battle.

So, he dispatched all his troops, and united Tang and Cai to come to a three-kingdom expedition to Chu.

The coalition army fought all the way to the edge of the Han River, and the state of Chu also sent troops to resist, and the two sides lined up across the water.

Then He Lu's younger brother led his 5,000 men to raid the Chu army and won an unprecedented victory.

The Chu army was defeated and fled, and the Lu column pursued all the way to Yingdu, the capital of Chu at that time, and won five battles with the Chu army under the capital, and broke through Yingdu in one fell swoop.

At that time, the king of Chu was the king of Chu Zhao, and after the Yingdu was broken, King Zhao and his sister fled from Chu in a hurry.

He first fled to Yundi.

But because the previous Duke Yun was killed by the State of Chu, the younger brother of the current Duke of Yun Huai wanted to take the opportunity to kill King Zhao of Chu and avenge his father.

But the current Yun Gong thinks that the monarch crusades against his subordinates, who dares to hate him?

The king's command represents the will of the heavens. If you die of Providence, how can you hate?

And it is not brave to be strong and weak.

The covenant of multiplying people is not benevolent.

Destroying the sect and abolishing the ritual is not filial piety.

As a nobleman, you can't do this kind of thing that takes advantage of people's danger, is not benevolent, unfilial, and unbrave.

In the late Spring and Autumn period, although the etiquette had already begun to collapse.

However, the upper-class aristocracy at that time still adhered to the etiquette system in terms of major rights and wrongs.

At that time, the war was also a civilization war.

You can kill your enemies on the battlefield, but you can't sneak up on them and take advantage of them.

The face and integrity of the aristocracy are more important than life.

Not to mention that Duke Yun is just a feudal monarch of the Chu State, how can he do the following things?

In order to avoid Huai killing King Chu Zhao.

Yun Gong and his other younger brother Chao escorted King Chu Zhao to run away again and fled to Sui.

Suihou provided protection for King Chu Zhao and hid King Chu Zhao anywhere.

At this time, the Wu people also followed and chased after Sui, so they said to Suiren: "Dude, the princes surnamed Ji in this part of Handong have all been annexed by the Chu State, and you are the only one left." ”

"Now the heavens will punish us and send our Wu Kingdom to destroy Chu."

"But you hid Chu Jun again, are you worthy of those princes surnamed Ji who were annexed by Chu State?"

"You should repay the favor of the Zhou family and hand over to us the king of Chu, who has annexed so many princes surnamed Ji."

"As long as you hand over the king of Chu, you can enjoy the land north of the Han River."

But Sui Hou did not agree, but said: "With the remoteness and narrowness next to the Chu State, we can always exist, and we really have to thank the Chu State for preserving us." ”

"Sui and Chu have oathed for generations, and they still haven't changed to this day, if there is a danger and abandon them, how can they serve the king?"

So, the Wu people couldn't help it, so they retreated.

King Zhao of Chu was also able to keep his name, and later, with the help of Qin, Chu and Qin joined forces to drive the Wu people away from Yingdu and recover the lost territory.

During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the relationship between the princes was very chaotic.

One will fight, one will meet, one will sign an alliance, and another will go to war with each other.

As the head of the princes of Eastern Han, Suiguo was also the forefront of the defense against Chu during the Western Zhou Dynasty, and fought many battles with Chu.

It wasn't until the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period that the Zhou royal family was really in decline, and Suiguo fell to Chu and signed an alliance with Chu.

Later, after King Chu Zhao ran with him and was saved by his followers, the two countries became even more friendly.

After that, it was difficult to see Suiguo in the history books, and it was not until the Warring States period that the Seven Kingdoms were annexed that it was completely annexed by the Chu State.

There is no record of exactly when it was annexed.

But the "Battle of Wu Pochu and Yingying" is too famous, and Suiguo, which is related to this war, can naturally be regarded as leaving a strong mark in the history books.

The Zeng Guo bell unearthed in tomb M1 records this history!

And he also appears as the main character!

The content of the inscription roughly means:

Wu relied on his own strong soldiers and horses, doing things everywhere, the western expedition to the south, and the invasion of Chu!

Originally, Wu was going to take the land of Jingchu, but the Mandate of Heaven was not on Wu's side.

At the critical moment, the wise and holy Marquis Zeng appeared, he won the credit by force on the battlefield, helped the king of Chu to calm the chaos, and the unstable state of Chu was stabilized again!

Isn't the event recorded in this inscription exactly the incident of "Wu Shi entered the battle of Ying, and the king of Chu avoided danger and followed"!

This can obviously prove that Suiguo is Zeng Guo!

And Marquis Zeng didn't just provide shelter for King Chu Zhao as recorded in "Zuo Biography"!

Zeng Hou also sent troops to help King Chu Zhao recover the lost territory, and obtained great martial arts!

The later stability of the Chu State is due to the Zeng State!

This also explains why Xiong Zhang, the king of Chu, heard that Zeng Hou Yi had passed away, so he would make a special bell and send it to Xiyang for Zeng Hou to enjoy forever!

Because Marquis Zeng Yi is the descendant of this Marquis of Zeng, who not only sheltered King Zhao of Chu, but also sent troops to help the State of Chu recover the lost territory!

You have to be kind!
