Chapter 449: The marriage of the three generations of Qin and Chu

Qingji guessed that the historical Wu army went on a killing spree after breaking through the Yingdu City and carried out a brutal and inhumane massacre.

It is very likely that the Wu army that has been running for a long time is not in place, and then the king of Wu ordered to take food on the spot, and turned a blind eye to the fact that the soldiers were burning, killing and looting in Yingdu.

In this way, it will undoubtedly cause public outrage.

There was already a feud between Wu and Chu, and if he did this again, wouldn't it intensify the hatred between the Wu people and the Chu people?

Feuds will not be easily resolved, but they can be forgotten in time.

When the two countries merge with each other, without distinguishing between each other, this hatred will disappear completely.

"Second and third sons, there is one more thing. The widow learned that Shen Baoxu had already entered Qin to ask for help before the war, and Qing and others thought that the reinforcements of Qin could be reached? ”

Qingji asked with squinted eyes.

"Great King, the minister thinks that most of the Qin people will not send troops to save Chu."

Bo Yan shook his head and said: "At present, the capital of Chu has only been broken, nearly half of the territory has fallen, and the king of Chu has fled, and the main force of the Chu army is still there. ”

“……”

The national capital has been breached, and half of the cities and lands have fallen, isn't it extremely dangerous?

Qingji thinks that Bo Ji is a little taken for granted.

The relationship between Qin and Chu can be said to be quite closely linked at this time.

When he was the king of Chu Zhuang, the Rong barbarians and the webbed tribes rebelled, and the mediocre people were the main force, and the Chu people almost wanted to move the capital to avoid their front.

Under the very severe situation, the king of Chuzhuang received the assistance of the Qin people and the Ba people to destroy the Yong state.

Since then, the southwest border of Chu has been greatly congested, and the biggest hidden danger of King Zhuang going north to compete for hegemony has been lifted!

The annihilation of Yong is of great political and strategic significance to Chu.

From then on, the state of Chu had no worries, and could go north to compete with the Jin state for hegemony.

The Qin Kanggong sent troops to help Chu destroy Yong, expressing Qin's determination to form a strong political and military alliance with Chu, which had a far-reaching impact on Qin-Chu relations.

At that time, Qin Kang's public aid to Chu Annihilation Yong was not only conducive to Qin's extension of strength to the southeast, which greatly improved Qin's strategic position, but also influenced the situation of Chu and Jin's struggle for hegemony to a certain extent.

So, after that, King Chu Cheng and Qin Mugong became in-laws, and the first marriage between Qin and Chu began.

Later, the king of Chu Gong married Qin Ying, the sister of Qin Jinggong, as his wife.

After Qin Ying came to marry, Chu Sima Zigeng went to Qin State to ask for his wife to go back to his parents' house to save his relatives, which was in line with etiquette.

The queen of King Chuping and the mother of King Zhao, Ying, is also a Qin woman (Meng Huan).

Therefore, so far, Qin and Chu have been married for three generations.

But as far as Qingji knows, Qin Chu after that has been married for more than ten generations!

Close relative?

Not necessarily.

If it really doesn't work, I will use the daughter of the clan to marry in the past, such as the famous Empress Dowager Xuan in history, the Empress Dowager Huayang, etc., all of whom are Chu women.

From the Spring and Autumn Period to the end of the Warring States Period, Qin and Chu can be said to have been in love with each other.

However, at this time, the relationship between the two countries was very close.

Qingji remembered that the reigning Qin Jun was Qin Aigong, Meng Huan's father.

"If the Qin people really sent troops to rescue Chu, what should it be?"

Qingji frowned.

"Great King, regardless of whether the Qin people send troops or not, it is imperative to find the main force of the Chu people as soon as possible to fight a decisive battle and completely disintegrate the Chu army!"

Sun Wu waved towards Qingji.

"Good!"

Qingji bowed his head slightly and agreed.

In fact, the so-called main force of the Chu army now has only tens of thousands of people, and it is no longer a climate at all.

Let's ask, when the capital is forced, the king flees and life and death are uncertain, how can a group of stragglers have much combat power?

In other words, even if the Qin people sent troops, the Wu army, which was waiting for work, would not have to be afraid at all.

If this is the Warring States Period, the Qin army after the Shang Dynasty reform is very terrifying, but this is the Spring and Autumn Period!

Not to mention anything else, in terms of weapons and equipment, the Qin army was more than a little inferior to the Wu army.

……

The capital of Qin, Yong.

"Uncle Qin! Please, send troops to save the Chu State! ”

The overall dark color style, at the entrance of the majestic hall, Shen Baoxu knelt on the ground, old tears were horizontal, crying helplessly.

Shen Baoxu entered Qin for two months, but after all, he failed to ask the Qin people to send troops.

When it comes to sending troops to save Chu, Qin Boying always talks about it left and right, shirking the frequent wars in the north, and the Qin army can't pull away.

However, Shen Baoxu knew that this was a prevarication.

Therefore, Shen Baoxu stayed in Yongcheng for nothing, and did not plan to leave without the Qin people's troops.

I never thought that I suddenly received the news that the city of Yingdu was broken and the life and death of the king of Chu was uncertain, which was tantamount to a bolt from the blue for Shen Baoxu.

Therefore, in order to get the Qin State to send troops to save Chu, Shen Baoxu could only kneel outside the Qin people's political hall and cry loudly.

At this time, Qin Boying was sitting on the throne, discussing state affairs with a group of ministers and doctors, and when he heard Shen Baoxu crying so miserably, he couldn't help frowning.

"Heaven Descends"

Somewhat upset!

"Second and third sons, do you think that my Qin State should send troops to save Chu Ye?"

Ying Ji set his eyes on the ministers.

The ministers all looked at each other, and after a while, the great master Zihu came out and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that the state of Wu is just a country in the ascendant, and the state of Chu has dominated the south for a long time. ”

"Zihu, are you letting the widow watch from the wall?"

"Not bad."

Zihu groaned: "Your Majesty, since the beginning of Mu Gong, the national situation of my Qin State has been in a slump, and there is a strong Jin in the east, so that my Qin soldiers cannot go out of the customs, and there is a hegemony in the south, and the Qin State cannot compete. ”

"In this way, our Qin State can only expand its territory to the west, in order to survive, wait for the right time, and then go out of the customs to chase the Central Plains."

"If you send troops to rescue Chu this time, the Qin State will not be profitable, and it will provoke the strong enemy of the Wu State, which really shouldn't be."

Hearing this, Ying Ji squinted his eyes and was noncommittal.

Another senior doctor, Zipu, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Zihu said is biased. ”

"Qin and Chu have been married for three generations, and they have always been peaceful and close, and now the mother of the king of Chu is the daughter of the king. If Wu can succeed in destroying Chu this time, it will definitely replace Chu and become the hegemon of the south in one fell swoop. ”

"However, what the Wu people are trying to do, my Qin State does not know."

"If Wu has the ambition to go north to dominate, it's okay, if it is afraid of the might of the Jin people, and it is false and wrong, then the Jin people have no worries, and it is inevitable that they will look westward ......"

Hearing this, Ying Ji couldn't help frowning.

What Zihu and Zipu said is not unreasonable in the eyes of Yingji.

Sending troops to rescue Chu would not do Qin any good, but might be retaliated by Wu and provoke a formidable enemy.

However, sitting back and watching the state of Chu be annexed by the state of Wu and ignoring it is not in line with the national policy of linking Chu to control the Jin that the state of Qin has always advocated.

If Wu didn't act after annexing Chu and still acted as a pawn of Jin, wouldn't Qin be in danger?
