As soon as he heard the news of the invasion, Kui Duoyou's heart was cold, and he instantly understood: his letter requesting troops was about to be shelved. Rui Liangfu is right, with the strength of the Zhou royal family, it is indeed impossible to support the Western Sixth Division and the Chengzhou Eighth Division to fight on two fronts at the same time.

And the invasion of the lynx directly threatens the safety of Fenghao Liangjing and the Longxing land of the Zhou Dynasty, which is the core ruling area of the Zhou Dynasty, compared with Guanzhong, the Central Plains region where they are located has to retreat, not to mention the Jianghan region thousands of miles away? It can be said that, in addition to Tonglu Mountain, the Jianghan River Basin has long been no longer the focus of attention of the aging Zhou Dynasty.

Seeing that he had been silent and thoughtful, Rui Liangfu thought that he was unwilling, so he bothered to explain for him: "The general's mood is understandable, but since King Zhao's southern expedition, the entire Jianghan has gradually fallen out of the control of my Zhou family. Even if the government treasury is full of strength to raise troops to march south, it is just to protect the Tonglu Mountain for Suiguo, and will the road with the jujube be unobstructed in the future? Whether the copper material transported to Chengzhou and Hojing can be filled is not something that can be predicted at the moment, and the Son of Heaven is as unwilling as the general, but he can only do so when he judges the situation."

He didn't say anything about the next thing, that is, before he set off, Wang Shufang had received a handwritten letter from Hou Yufang. Swore that the capture of Tonglu Mountain was only to fulfill the wishes of the ancestors and restore the ancestral industry, and then he would pay a full amount of copper to the two capitals every quarter for the Son of Heaven to strengthen the army to cast the tripod. It is precisely because of this letter that the core decision-makers of Hojing finally made up their minds to adopt a resigned attitude to the imminent battle for Tonglu Mountain between Hubei and Hubei.

"So -------" Kui Duoyou sighed slightly, "You will obey the king's orders, and the wall will not come out." It's just that Suihou's side is like hanging upside down, and you really can't bear it, can you hand over the military affairs to the king, and you will lead your subordinate guards to rush to Tonglu Mountain to help?"

"How can a general be so righteous?" Rui Liangfu exclaimed, "Suihou is not besieged and asks for help, how can the general feel that he will not be saved when he sees death? Besides, the general was ordered by the Son of Heaven, and the safety of thousands of soldiers was at risk, so how could he abandon him because of one person and one promise? Does the general know the weight of this handsome seal? What is the responsibility of the Eight Divisions of Chengzhou?"

"I am to pacify the Central Plains and protect my territory of the Great Zhou." Kui Duoyou replied without hesitation.

"Now that the general knows, the good man is blunt. The Eighth Division of Cheng Zhou is the Central Plains Stone of my Great Zhou, with such a Wang Division, the people with ill intentions will not dare to move, and the people of the Central Plains can enjoy the Wang Daode rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty and live and work in peace and contentment. As a fake marshal, the general must have a sense of the overall situation, how can he be like a folk knight, come when he wants, and leave when he says? I hope the general will think carefully."

After sternly reprimanding, Rui Liangfu also broke apart the painful experience of the Zhou royal family and told it to Kui Duoyou.

Since the beginning of the "state" in the third dynasty of the Xia and Shang dynasties, the way in which the victorious powers treated the remnants of the previous dynasties went through two processes: first, they made the remnants of the first dynasty autonomous princes, and later they retained their fiefs and abolished their powers. The evolution of this process is the result of repeated battles of bloody restoration.

Three generations were replaced, Shang destroyed Xia, Zhou destroyed Shang, and in the early days, they all respected the remnants of the previous dynasties, allowing them to establish autonomy in the birthplace of their ancestors, that is, allowing them to exist as a prince with governing power. At that time, the autonomous princes meant almost exclusively military and political power. As long as there was no rebellion, as long as the tribute to the Son of Heaven was paid, the central royal family had little interference with the autonomous princes.

The intention of the newly victorious state was to convince the common people of the world of the benevolence of the royal way of their own dynasty by preserving and honoring the royal family of the previous dynasty, so that they would submit to the new dynasty with joy and sincerity.

However, the reality is always the opposite of what the newly victorious powers expected. Once the remnants of the previous dynasty existed as the ruling princes, they tried in every possible way to restore the old royal system, which eventually led to the bane of subverting the new regime. The first to taste the bitter fruit was precisely the new dynasty of the Zhou Dynasty, which advocated the moralization of the king.

The Zhou people boasted of ruling the world by virtue, and after the destruction of the Shang, they not only allowed the original residence of the Yin Shang remnants to be autonomous princes, but also made the descendants of the "holy kings" such as Shennong, Huangdi, Yao, Shun, and Yu all autonomous princes.

However, only two or three years later, King Wu of Zhou had just died of illness, and Wu Geng, the leader of the remnants of the Yin Shang dynasty, immediately instigated a large-scale rebellion, which not only united almost all the princes of the "Holy King" relics and the Dongfang Yi tribe to rebel against Zhou, but also unbelievably instigated a rebellion among the royal clan of the Zhou family

The forces are against Zhou together. It was so powerful that it almost overruled the new dynasty.

It was only thanks to the all-out strategy of the scheming Zhou Gongdan that the Zhou Dynasty finally put down this great rebellion based on the remnants of the Yin Shang princes.

This was an extremely tragic civil war in China, and it was also an extremely painful lesson in governing the country.

It made the whole world understand this truth: the desire of the royal family of the previous dynasty, which has a centuries-long tradition, to restore the old system of their ancestors is almost forever indelible; If the descendants of the royal family of the previous dynasty could not be governed separately from the remnants of the people on whom they depended, the old royal family with the power to govern would be able to wage a war of restoration at any time.

The self-proclaimed Zhou royal family finally woke up and re-established a new system of princes: the princes and monarchs of the Zhou royal family as the remnants of the people, and the Zhou family governed the remnants of the Yin Shang with the Zhou family etiquette, so that there was a defense of the country with the young brother of King Wu of Zhou, Uncle Kang, as the princes and monarchs, and actually "collected the remnants of the people"; Although the sacrificial sites of the descendants of the royal family of the first dynasty retained the name of "princes", the remnants of the first dynasty migrated to the previous vassal state to the greatest extent, so that there was a new Song kingdom opened by Wei Zikai, a descendant of the Yin Shang royal family. In other words, the remnants of the Yin Shang dynasty and the descendants of the Yin Shang royal family were disconnected from then on and divided into two vassal states.

Kui Duoyou frowned and listened for a long time, and then he felt a little taste: "So, the Eighth Division of Cheng Zhou is stationed here, mainly to prevent the Song State Office and the remnants of Yin Shang who defend the country?"

"That's the case," Rui Liangfu nodded, "But since King Xianyi cooked the Marquis of Qi, even the Qi Kingdom has to be guarded against. In such a situation, the Eighth Division of Cheng Zhou is not a last resort, so it must not be moved lightly!"

"Qi Guo? Didn't Princess Berdge get married? Could there be any other movement?"

"There will be no movement at the moment, but if the stone of the Eighth Division of Cheng Zhou is removed, I am afraid that the snakes and rats in the Central Plains will immediately move when they hear the wind, and the situation will be out of control!" Rui Liangfu shook his head helplessly.

Kui Duoyou stroked the carved knife marks deeply engraved with bamboo slips on the king's book, and suddenly made up his mind: "What is the time limit for these ten military and political rectification strategies set by the king?"

"The crown prince and the fake Sima are proposed for a three-year period."

"It doesn't take three years." Kui Duoyou said categorically: "For a period of two years, I will definitely improve the combat power of the Eighth Division of Chengzhou and become an invincible king division."

"Good!" Rui Liangfu clapped his hands and praised: "There is a general's words, which should comfort the king's heart to seek cure!"
