Chapter 64: Crying in the rain of heavy ears Luo Palace
Luoguo, Zhaocheng.
Luo Ci was already at the age of gray temples, Luo Yan took the documents for him, and said with some worry: "Since the Duke of Jin became the hegemon, he has been grateful for the kindness of the Son of Heaven and has treated the Son of Heaven very respectfully.
But he became more and more harsh on the princes of the Jin Kingdom, and raised troops to the Zhuxia countries at every turn, in just a few years, and annexed more than ten countries, which was really too arrogant.
There are rumors in private that Chong'er once said to the left and right that Luo's has a holy stigma, which is certainly a miracle of King Su, but he was born with heavy pupils, which is the appearance of the ancient saint king, and he was born to whip the world. ”
Luo Ci sighed: "During the rebellion of the Five Princes, Luo Guo did not have firm support for Chong'er, and he must have some resentment in his heart.
His life was generally smooth, he did not suffer hardships, and after five years on the throne, he threw off the country of Luo and became the hegemon alone, I don't know how proud he was.
If he wants to achieve the same hegemony as Duke Qi Huan, he will definitely provoke the Chu State, but the Qin-Chu alliance and the Jin State are alienated from Qi Luo.
It doesn't matter if he is alone, he is only worried that the future generations of Jin Marquis will have the idea of hegemony, and this is the way to take trouble.
If the Jin State attacks Chu, Wu Bo will definitely make a truce with the Chu State, no matter how much truth there is, it is better to teach a painful lesson, and his lack of education will be handed over to reality to make up for it. ”
Luo Ci's prediction of Chong'er is not wrong at all, strong strength brings self-confidence, and the confidence of the entire Jin Kingdom has exploded now, and the results have been too brilliant over the years.
In the second year of Chong'er's coronation to the throne of Fang Bo, when the Jin State thwarted the resistance of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, the Secretary of State of Jin advised him: "Monarch, when the Duke of Qi Huan, although the Qi State was the first among the nations, if the countries united, the Qi State could not win.
Therefore, Guan Yiwu established an alliance headed by the Qi State, which balanced the countries through the king's mandate, prestige, and covenant, and the Qi State was therefore hegemonic.
However, the strength of the Jin kingdom cannot be controlled by the nations, the ministers and others can discuss, and the act of annexing the country can be accelerated, and the mandate of heaven has come to you. ”
So Chong'er called on Sui, Tang, Ying, and Wu to attack Chu together on the grounds that the amount of tribute paid by Chu was insufficient.
However, it is said that since the state of Chu received the strange strategy of Qin Bo's message, it thought it was true, so it resumed the superficial tribute to the Zhou royal family, and no longer took the initiative to go north, triggering the joint attack of Chu, but had been accumulating strength and preparing to find an opportunity to defeat the state of Wu.
In the face of the Jin State's trouble, the State of Chu wrote to Zhou Tianzi and said: "Son of Heaven, there is no sin in being alone.
Is it right for the Duke of Jin to crusade against a prince in such a wanton manner?
You are the Son of Heaven, can you support such an act?
If you don't stop it, I'm afraid all the princes of the world will be chilled! ”
This document was directly sent to Chong'er, and he opened it to read it and passed it to his subordinates, so all the monarchs and ministers of the Jin Kingdom laughed.
Who is in the hall to sue this official?
Chong'er laughed loudly and said, "Zhao Qing, reply to Chu State."
The letter said: 'The state of Chu is barbarian, and the king is righteous with Xia's slaughter!
The Jin State is a prince surnamed Ji, with magnificent etiquette and a strong army, and the Chu State should be obedient in order to get rid of the Southern Barbarian nature as soon as possible. ’”
As soon as these words came out, they directly angered the state of Chu, and the king of Chu said angrily in Yingdu: "The Marquis of Jin is too rampant and rude, which is intolerable. ”
Although the princes of the Central Plains have always discriminated against Qin and Chu, and secretly ridiculed them as barbarians, Chong'er's words have touched the hearts of many princes, but it is very inappropriate to say them in the national letter.
Many eastern monarchs have discussed with their subordinates: "Chu is the Zhuxia kingdom divided by King Su, and King Yi was crowned as a prince and a high lord, and there is a golden book in the court.
Even if it is a true barbarian country, after the golden book is issued, it should be respected.
Although the state of Chu lived in a desolate land where cordyceps breeded, and also brought the customs of the Southern Barbarians with its habits, it was too child's play for the Jin state to start a war under such an excuse. ”
In the words, he was worried about the strength of the Jin State now, and the Wu State received the news of the joint dispatch of troops by the Jin State and threw it aside.
Wu Bo smiled and said to the left and right: "The Jin State has thousands of miles of fertile land, an army of 200,000, and thousands of chariots alone, such a strength is something that Gu has never seen."
The state of Chu will definitely usher in another major defeat after Yan Ling, and then the state of Chu will not be able to compete with the state of Wu in the south. ”
The monarchs and ministers of the State of Wu had already made up their minds not to participate in the war between Jin and Chu, and waited for the defeat of the State of Chu and then beat the water dogs again, just like they did a hundred years ago.
Seeing that Wu did not reorganize its armaments and prepare for the expedition, Chu was overjoyed, and it was the best news that there was no need to fight on two fronts.
The king of Chu sighed: "In the past, the state of Chu did not know how to unite the princes, so it was defeated in the Central Plains.
Now that the Jin Kingdom is the same, isn't this God going to let him fail? ”
So the king of Chu issued a conscription order to the entire Chu state.
"The Chu people are the descendants of Emperor Gaoyang, and the widows are the nobles of Zhuxia.
King Su gave the Chu people the land to live in, and the ancestors had today's wealth.
The Jin Kingdom is a sect with the surname Ji, but it is as rude as Rong Di.
The widow called on all the Chu people to meet the invading Jin people and save the society of the Chu State, and the Taiyi Supreme God would bless every Chu person. ”
Qin State, Yongdu.
Mrs. Xuanmi's face was full of worry, the strength of the Jin State, she also knew it in Yongdu, how could she resist it with the Chu State alone?
Qin Bo's face was full of excitement, for more than ten years, he had listened to the words of the stranger and had been staying in the west to strengthen the Qin State, but how could his desire to go east be extinguished?
Seeing that his wife was in tears, he hugged Xuan Miru in his arms and said softly: "Don't worry, Madam, Qin Chu is a blood alliance, and he will definitely come to the rescue of Chu." ”
Yili sat down and paused: "Monarch, the minister set a strategy for you to pass through the west more than ten years ago, and now the Jin State is arrogant and unpopular, this is indeed an opportunity for the Qin State."
But the minister has a word, and he asks the king to consider it.
Once the two kingdoms of Qiluo enter the war, they must leave the Central Plains immediately, otherwise it will be too late to regret it. ”
Seeing that even the country minister, who had never advocated going to the Central Plains, agreed, Qin Bo couldn't help laughing anymore, "What the minister said, there is nothing to be allowed. ”
The passage between Jin and Qin was a means of controlling Qin, but this did not mean that Hangu Pass was really an impenetrable fortress.
The Qin State has been painstakingly trying to break through this channel for many years, and it has already had a way.
Luo Ci got the news, and at this time he was gradually unable to take care of things, and Luo Yan was in charge of the political affairs of Luo State.
Luo Yan said with some sarcasm: "The Marquis of Jin blatantly used troops against the Chu State, this is because he wants the whole world to submit to him, he is really ambitious."
Just don't you know that two million people can rule over ten million people?
Can a thousand miles of land control a thousand miles of territory?
Can the country of a thousand vehicles have the majesty and strength of the country of ten thousand vehicles? ”
The clouds of war were displayed in the southern land, and the Jin army and the Chu army met in Ying.
Chong'er ordered someone to come forward and say: "The state of Chu is disrespectful to the Son of Heaven, which is why it will cause this war.
The nobles of Zhuxia are favored by the heavens, and the barbarians are rejected by the heavens.
Does the state of Chu really want to turn its back on the identity of Zhuxia and throw itself into the barbarians?
This is the path to exterminate the Zongmiao Sheji, and the ancestors of the Chu State may not forgive you.
Wang Shang is a son of heaven, broad-minded, and willing to give life to the Chu State.
As long as the Marquis of Chu is willing to surrender on his knees, cede the 300 li of land close to Wangji to the Son of Heaven, and then admit his mistakes to the Son of Heaven.
Express your sincerity in this way, and the Jin State can forgive the sins of the Chu State. ”
The state of Chu is the largest among the nations, and three hundred miles of land is nothing, but the king of Chu thinks that Chong'er's words are too ridiculous.
"The state of Chu has a vast territory, but not an inch can be ceded.
Using the land to raise evil wolves will only become weaker and weaker, and if the land is given to brave warriors, the state of Chu will be invincible.
Chong'er asked the widow to cede 300 li of land, and the widow promised to reward the warrior who captured Chong'er with 300 li of land. ”
Three hundred miles of land!
How many vassal states are not so big, and even the people in the Chu State Office are extremely shocked, and they can't wait to rush down and kill them immediately.
The morale of the Chu army was even higher, and countless shouts of "Ten Thousand Years of Chu State" sounded.
After the two sides put their mouth cannons, they began to fight in formation, and the two sides fought fiercely, leaving corpses all over the ground, and the Chu army was not an opponent, and retreated thirty miles.
Seeing that the Jin army was really brave and invincible.
Chong'er smiled to the left and right in high spirits: "More than a hundred years ago, if there was no Wu State to cut off the grain route, Qi Huan Gong would not have been able to quickly defeat the Chu State.
But today, although the State of Chu is strong, it is vulnerable in front of my sons and daughters of the Jin Kingdom. ”
The Jin army is indeed a strong army in the world, and the Chu State is not an opponent, so it can only keep retreating.
In the face of this kind of scene, if there is no reinforcement from the Qin State, the Chu State is only afraid that it will really have to bend its knees to pay reparations.
At this time, the army of the Qin State was divided into two, one pretended to take the Kuihan Pass and entangled with the Jin army, and the other abandoned the chariot and came to the Jin army.
The commander of the Qin army was Qin Bo's younger brother Yingnuo, he was a famous god of war in the Qin army, invincible, and Qin Bo sent him out, which can be said to have great expectations.
This is not the first time Yingnuo has been here, he has always known that his brother wants to go east, and the war is about the right time and place, so he has followed the caravan here countless times to explore the terrain, and even drew a map with a strong memory.
"General, is our army going to support the King of Chu?"
"No, the strength of the Jin army is too strong, even if it is the Qin-Chu coalition army, it may not be able to defeat it in a frontal battle.
During the Battle of Yanling, the Chu State was strong, and the Central Plains princes chose to let the Wu State cut off the grain route, and then constantly fought the Chu army head-to-head tactics, and finally defeated the Chu people.
Now almost all the grain routes of the Jin army are supplied by Wangji, and the most important thing for us is to cut off the supply of grain and grass to Wangji.
The army of the Jin State crossed the river and fought, and the strength of the Chu State was not weak and it fought on its own territory in the country, so it would definitely be able to support it for a long time.
The Jin State has not been able to attack for a long time, and then it will definitely return to the army to attack our army, and our army occupies the valley above the land, and it can be attacked and retreated.
The Jin people will be in a dilemma, and the food and grass will be insufficient, and when the morale of the Jin army collapses, the Chu State will fight with our army in front and back, so that they can win. ”
The Qin army attacked the grain routes of the Jin Kingdom, and the news quickly spread to the Jin troops on the front line, and Chong'er was a little shocked when he heard the news.
"The Qin army is still under the Hangu Pass, how can it be possible to come here?
The lone general sat in Hangu Pass, and also ordered the three army generals to sit in the middle of the Kunshan Mountain.
Guanzhong is just a cage, unless the Qin army has the ability to fly birds, how can it be possible to enter the Kanto? ”
The monarchs and ministers of the Jin State are capable people who can forge the hegemony of the Jin State, and they dare to attack Chu because even if the Jin State does not have wings, but the Chu State also does not!
The countries around Chu are all his enemies, and the only ally is Qin, but it is blocked by Hangu Pass, and at most it can only contain troops for Chu.
But now there was such an accident, and the army of the Qin State unexpectedly appeared after the Jin State.
"The Qin army must have found another way out of the pass, but it must not be a large army, otherwise such a passage would not be famous all over the world.
The key now is our country's next action, the army can only supply grain and grass for a month at most, if it is not replenished, then there will definitely be a mutiny in the army. ”
"The Qin State is really hateful, Lone doesn't go to find trouble with him, he dares to tease Lone's tiger whiskers, and when he returns to the country, reorganizes the armament, he will send a letter to Guguan to the west to conquer the Qin State!"
Heavy ears said hatefully, but he was a male lord in the end, and after the Qin army cut off the grain route, he knew that this time the attack on Chu was going to be in vain.
So he said decisively: "The grain road of the army was attacked by the Qin army, you can't take the risk, return to China immediately, the Jin State is strong, it's a big deal to come back next time."
But if it encounters the defeat of the battle of Yanling in the Chu State, I am afraid that it will not be able to slow down for twenty years, and at that time, the hegemony will be empty, and the gains will outweigh the losses. ”
I have to say that Chong'er is still sensible, he understands that the strong military power of the Jin State is the most important, so he is very cautious.
Seeing that the monarch was still very wise, the Jin courtiers who accompanied the army breathed a sigh of relief.
The Jin army began to retreat quickly, which was somewhat unexpected by the King of Chu, who thought that the Jin army would try to defeat the Chu army, but he did not expect to go so decisively.
But it does not affect the overall situation, because the two sides are at war, and it is not something that one side can go if it wants to, especially a war that crosses a big river.
A careless will turn from retreat to rout, so the retreat of the Jin army is not fast, and the Chu army, which has been fighting and retreating before, began to constantly harass the Jin army, forcing the Jin army to throw down a lot of baggage and corpses.
This sense of powerlessness of being defeated without a fight and watching his comrades die in front of him filled the entire Jin army with a haze.
The Qin army had been waiting for the Jin army for a long time in the south of Wangji, but it was not to stop the Jin army, because the Qin army did not want to fight with the Jin army.
Looking at the formation of the Qin army, he sighed with heavy ears: "The general of the Qin State is a talented person, if he blocks all the retreats of our army, our army will definitely have the same hatred of the enemy, and may be able to win a big victory, but he will leave the retreat route, but occupy a favorable terrain, and I am afraid that he will have to pay a lot of casualties." ”
Sure enough, as Chong'er expected, Qin and Chu did not seek to completely annihilate the Jin army, but defeated the Jin army with battalions and battalions, and then surrounded and annihilated.
The so-called blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular.
The princes who had been suppressed in the Jin Kingdom for a long time took this opportunity to betray, and they led private soldiers to block the borders of the Jin Kingdom, not allowing Chong'er to return to the country!
When this news reached the battlefield of the Three Kingdoms, Chong'er was completely stunned, when he heard that the Qin State had cut off the grain channel, he was still calm and light, but now he only felt a piercing chill crawling all over his body in an instant.
"Lonely!
Lone is too soft-hearted, so that there is today's disaster! Chong'er spit out a mouthful of blood directly, and the hatred in his voice was cold and piercing.
The doctors who followed Chong'er were stunned, this matter was something they never imagined, this group of people of the clan was so narrow-minded.
Although Chong'er suppressed them, they were not red for a hundred days, and they could still turn the tables when the next generation of monarchs came.
"Aren't they going to directly destroy the Jin Kingdom by doing this?
Here are 100,000 elites of the Jin Kingdom!
If you don't fight in a war, the consequences will ......"
Wei Qing hurriedly said: "Monarch, the situation has reached this point, Yiluo can't go, he can only retreat in the direction of Yingguo and Zhengguo, the minister thinks ......"
Speaking of this, Wei Qing hesitated a little, and said miserably: "Wei Qing, please say it, at this point, what else can't be said?" ”
"The minister thought that he should immediately ask for help from Luo Guo!"
Everyone immediately stagnated, and looked at the heavy ears with a brush, Luo Guo can be regarded as one of the reverse scales of the heavy ears.
Unexpectedly, Chong'er didn't get angry, but smiled bitterly: "Zhongqing doesn't have to look at Gu like this, what Wei Qing said makes sense."
Lonely has a heavy pupil, everyone said that this is the appearance of the ancient saint king, and later got the help of the two kingdoms of Qiluo to ascend to the throne, and he was full of spirit.
As a result, when he saw the stigma in Prince Luo's eyebrows, he was jealous, and he wanted to prove that his vision was not weaker than Luo's stigma.
To this day, it seems to be a joke. ”
As he spoke, he laughed, but the ministers present shed tears one after another, and they collectively knelt on the ground, bowed their heads incessantly, and said sadly: "The monarch, it is the incompetence of the ministers."
You shouldn't have been stopped from killing those rebellious people in the first place, but if you had listened to your advice and killed all the clans, there would have been no disaster today. ”
Chong'er has a great character, and he cheered up after being a little depressed and said: "The Jin Kingdom can be strong today, all of which are the credit of the virtuous ministers.
Lone heard that cicadas can't see autumn and winter, and snakes don't see snow.
This is probably the limitation of vision.
All the secretaries are people of high moral character, how can they understand the despicability of those who are not virtuous?
Let's hurry up, it's not the fault of the secretaries! ”
Qin and Chu also got the news and were overjoyed.
This is really an unexpected joy, I just wanted to bleed the Jin Kingdom, but I didn't expect to have the opportunity to directly cripple the Jin Kingdom!
The king of Chu was even more excited, and the heart of winning the championship hidden in the blood of the Chu people rose again.
The Jin army fled towards Zheng and Ying in a hurry, and the combined forces of Qin and Chu followed all the way behind and killed, and the blood flowed like a river.
Chong'er crossed the border of Zheng Guo overnight and came to the city of Luoguo, where he was taken to the land of the temple of Luoguo, where Luo Ci recuperated.
This is the most magnificent hall in the entire Luoguo Palace, and although Chong'er's heart is full of anxiety, he still waits quietly in the courtyard.
After I don't know how long, Luo Yan walked out of the house, came to Chong'er and said, "Duke Jin, my father is not in good health, so I asked you to wait longer!" ”
Chong'er hurriedly said: "Luohou and the prince have great kindness to Chong'er, and they are really hard for Zhuxia. Waiting a little longer is not something worth mentioning. ”
Luo Yan's expression on his face remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Duke Jin, you are the uncle canonized by the Son of Heaven, bestowed Jiuxi, ordered the princes, and whipped the world, don't dare to disobey."
A little kindness, there is no need to mention it again, you should call it lonely, this is in line with etiquette. ”
Chong'er listened to the words that were polite, but obviously cleared up the relationship, and his heart was cold, and he heard Luo Yan say: "Look at this day, it should be raining, Jin Gong, you better go back first, and wait for your father to get better before coming to see you." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Chong'er's reaction to turn back and returned to the house, and with the sound of the door slamming shut, a drop of rain fell on Chong'er's face.
He was about to leave the ground, but he couldn't help but shudder, and his thoughts instantly returned to the battlefield, and the rain was like the blood of countless Jin soldiers splashed on his face.
"Poof!"
Chong'er knelt directly on the ground, burst into tears in an instant, he cried out bitterly, and shouted loudly into the house: "Luo Gong!
Heavy ears ask you for your guilt! ”
As soon as the words fell, the thunder sounded, and the pouring rain fell, and Chong'er instantly became embarrassed, and his tears were mixed with the rain.
"Chong'er knows that he has sinned deeply, and he doesn't dare to ask for your forgiveness, but I also ask you to send troops to rescue you for the sake of the Jin Kingdom for the sake of maintaining the royal family over the years, and for the sake of the same concubines!"
Heavy Ear bowed deeply, his beautiful robe was drenched and splashed with dirt, his hair was washed away, and his beard was unkempt.
I don't know how long it took, but it seemed like the rain had stopped.
Chong'er raised his head and saw Luo Yan holding a large umbrella and draping a warm coat over him.
Luo Yan asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Duke Jin, what are your crimes?" Please also clear up your doubts. ”
Chong'er's face turned pale and said miserably: "As the head of the Zhuxia nations.
You can't ask for Yidi, that's the first sin.
Annexation of the Ji surname Zongguo is the second sin.
Embezzling royal land is the third sin.
With these three sins, how can heavy ears be favored by heaven? That's the root of the failure. ”
Luo Yan seemed to have just understood, and said with emotion: "Duke of Jin, how powerful is the Jin Kingdom? It is even more than the Duke of Qi Huan recorded in the classics.
If you can connect with Zhuxia, will there be a Rong Di who can't be defeated?
If you can truly respect the royal family, will the princes slander the Jin Kingdom?
If there are one or two allies, will the Qin army dare to show the land of Ying Zheng?
If you can make good friends with the State of Wu and don't command it willingly, will the State of Chu dare to confront the whole country?
If we can unite the clans, will there be a country that cannot be returned?
Your failure lies in relying too much on force and losing reverence.
and the virtuous ruler shall be of much help to him, and all the people of the earth shall obey him; The unscrupulous monarch will have fewer people to help him, and even his relatives will betray him.
Can a dishonest monarch be victorious? ”
"Click!"
A bolt of lightning piercing through the dark clouds reflected that Luo Yan was so tall that he lowered his head heavily.
Following.
The army of Luoguo, which had been on standby for a long time, rushed to the front line with the blessing of the "Soldier Guishen Speed Charm", and as Luo's resignation made a statement, the countries followed Luoguo and began to reorganize their troops.
The Jin State has dominated for more than ten years, but he doesn't know that the world has long been raging, and he has been dissatisfied with the Jin State for a long time.
……
Qi Huan Gong won Fang Bo Jiuxi, the beginning of the hegemony, the Spring and Autumn Period for 300 years, only the Jin Wen Gong compared, second.
Why?
Jin Wen is humble and studious, clear and decisive, virtuous ministers, capable people, with the appearance of ancient saint kings, can become a hegemon.
Qi Huan is just and unscrupulous, pro-Jin Luo, so there is the victory of Yan Ling, and the descendants are prosperous.
Jin Wen was unrighteous and far away from Qiluo, so there was the defeat of Yiluo, and later generations mourned it.
- "Spring and Autumn in Los Angeles"
Soldier Speed: Increases the marching speed of an infantry legion of no more than 50,000 men by 30% without consuming more stamina.
It's gone today~
