Chapter 65: The Alliance of the Three Kingdoms
The speed of the march of the Luo army was too fast, and what surprised Chong'er even more was that he was half tired and half dead when he sat in the car, but these soldiers were still in good spirits.
This is the greatest utility of the "Soldier Speed", 30% of the marching speed is valuable, but the most precious thing is that it can be put into battle immediately after the violent march of the army.
Luo Yan was a user of the charm, and he gradually felt the effect of the charm pass, causing a huge sensation when the Luo army roared to the camp in a chariot.
β¦β¦
"Reinforcements have arrived! The army of the country of Los Angeles has arrived! We are saved! β
With a shout, the numb Jin Jun's eyes lit up, hope is something more precious than gold, especially in a desperate situation.
"Haotian is above! 10,000 years of King Su! β
As the first person shouted, the entire Jin army shouted in unison, "King Su Wannian!" 10,000 years of King Su! β
"King Su has come to save his people!"
Many soldiers wept bitterly and knelt on the ground and prayed to Ji Zhao.
In the hundred years of Bang Wu's reign, under the impetus of the Luo clan, Ji Zhao's status became higher and higher, and the sacrifices to the heavens were all sacrificed to Haotian and King Su at the same time.
Ji Zhao had actually gradually gained the status of the supreme god of the Zhou people, which was another reason why the Luo State rejected the Qin and Chu states.
Both Qin and Chu have their own supreme gods!
β¦β¦
On the edge of Yingshui was the most tragic war between the three kingdoms, with more than 30,000 Jin troops dying in this small land.
This is a scene of purgatory on earth.
There were countless corpses of the Jin army floating above Yingshui, and those corpses were stacked on top of each other, even blocking Yingshui, and those streams couldn't tell whether it was blood or water at all.
The fallen military flags, the flying severed arms, and the heads were mixed together with red and white, and the broken weapons were stuck in the body, and the corpses of some soldiers were still picked up in the air.
The ground is full of broken cloth, cloth armor, and bronze fragments, and war will destroy everything, which is the truest portrayal.
Heavy Ear stumbled and knelt in the blood mud, he picked up a pile of blood mud, and cried out: "This is all the good son of the Jin Kingdom, it's Lone's fault!"
When you return to the country, do you still have the face to see the people of the country? β
The Jin people who followed knelt on the ground one after another, and their cries shook the sky.
Luo Yan looked at the tragic scene in front of him, took a deep breath, and felt a little powerless, he really wanted to carry the world on his shoulders.
Luo Guo has prestige and the ability to whip the world, but in this world, even a beggar can rule the world, only the Luo family does not have the mandate of the king.
The knife of the 400-year-old heir hangs over Luo's head forever.
Luo Yan half-knelt beside Chong'er, stroked the back of his ear with his hand, and comforted: "Duke Jin!
Since ancient times, what promising monarch has not suffered hardships?
Taigongwang was eighty years old before assisting King Wu to set the world, and the ancestor King Bingguo passed away after 17 years of regency.
You are not old enough to dominate the world, and to be able to command the princes is nothing more than a failure.
How many talented people are there among the children of the Jin Kingdom, is it possible that the Jin Kingdom is in a slump?
Now the Jin people are looking at you, take them home, the future of the Jin Kingdom still needs you! β
Chong'er's bloody palm tightly held Luo Yan's hand, and sobbed: "Prince, Chong'er remembered your words.
The blood of the Jin people has been shed enough to be here anymore.
I'm going to take them back, and their loved ones must be missing them so much.
Chong'er will reinvigorate the Jin Kingdom, and the previous oath of Luo Palace will not be forgotten for a moment. β
"Alas!"
Luo Yan clapped his ears and sighed: "It's up to me to go to the Qin Chu camp, persuade them to go back, and sign a non-aggression pact, I'm afraid they won't want to fight anymore." β
Qin was indeed a little reluctant to fight any further, and the speed at which the Luo army came exceeded Ying Nuo's expectations.
Ying Nuo was a very outstanding general, and after he looked at the army of Luo from a distance, he said to the king of Chu: "Great king, the Luo country has almost come out of the nest to rescue the Jin country this time, and no less than 3,000 people have been transferred from the dare soldiers alone.
You know that these brave warriors are all children of the princes of Luoguo, brave and good at fighting, and each one is ten.
If you don't want to fight a bloody battle with Luo, you should be ready to withdraw from the army. β
Dare to fight the strong army in the world, but because they are all children of the Gong family, the number is scarce, but the people who cooperate with the dare soldiers are usually the Ruishi of Luo, which is also a strong army in the world, and there are two armies in Luo.
This is the reason why Ying Nuo didn't want to knock hard, he came from afar with the soldiers of the Qin State, and the results achieved so far were already very brilliant, and he had to have a bloody battle with the tenacious army of the Luo State, and the gains outweighed the losses.
"But retreating like this is really too cheap for the Jin State, and the Jin State should be allowed to cede land and compensate for the losses of Qin and Chu.
Although they suffered heavy damage, they were not broken, at least half of the army was intact, so let them go like this, I am afraid they will recover within ten years, and what if he comes to attack again? β
Some people put forward different opinions, and what they said is also very reasonable, if you don't take advantage of this good opportunity to directly abolish the Jin Kingdom, you won't be able to find it in the future.
The king of Chu understood that Yingnuo was right, and he couldn't fight anymore, but he still said a little unwillingly: "General Yingnuo, now that our army is so close to Luoyi, why don't you take a Jiuding from a country and place it in the royal capital, this is the supreme glory!" β
Because of the events of the old years, the Chu people have a very complicated psychology about the Jiuding in Zhou Wangji, and they always feel that taking away Jiuding can prove that the destiny of heaven is in Chu.
Ying Nuo's eyes also flashed, that is the Jiuding that represents the order of King Yu, if it can be brought back to Qin, who can say that Qin has no mandate?
But he thought about the mountains and mountains along the way, and thought about the attitude of Luo Guo, and still gave up this very tempting idea.
persuaded the king of Chu: "King, the country of Luo is still strong, I am afraid that the destiny of Bang Zhou is still there!"
Now is not the time to seize Jiuding, otherwise Luo Guo will definitely fight with us. β
Everyone is still entangled here, and there are rumors from the messenger that the prince of Luoguo wants to come to the camp to talk about it, and the king of Chu and Yingnuo frowned at the same time, feeling a little bad.
Luo Wengong and Luo Xuangong have both done this, those who are obedient and withdraw from the army are still free, and those who are disobedient will die directly on the battlefield.
In the complicated eyes of the monarchs and ministers of Qin and Chu, Luo Yan walked into the military camp, his etiquette was impeccable, and the king of Chu and Yingnuo also returned the favor with courtesy.
Luo Yan said straight to the point: "I didn't come here to start a war with Qin and Chu, Luo never wanted to be enemies of Qin and Chu.
The Jin Kingdom was rampant before, and now it has paid a terrible price, which is the cycle of heavenly principles.
But in this war, Zhu Xia has shed a lot of blood, and the price paid by the Jin State has been very large, and it is time to stop.
The Duke of Jin was willing to sign an alliance with Qin and Chu, and the two sides kept peace with each other, and the subjects of both sides paid tribute to each other. β
Hearing what Luo Yan said, the King of Chu was a little angry and said: "Prince, the Jin Kingdom has no reason to crusade against a prince, can it just be let go lightly?"
What if Qin Chu was defeated in the hands of the Jin State?
Will you intercede for the state of Chu? β
Luo Yan said in a deep voice: "I came here for the sake of the society of Qin and Chu.
If the Luo State really wants to exterminate the Chu State and the Qin State, how can you two sit here in peace?
Luo Guo holds the mandate of Bang Zhou, you must know it.
Bang Zhou's destiny has not been lost, and the Qin State and the Chu State want to try the weight of Jiuding, so to provoke the Sheji artifact, do you think there will be no punishment?
It's only because the Qin State and the Chu State have made meritorious contributions to the elimination of Yidi for hundreds of years, so I came to persuade you two to go back.
If you don't want to go back, what good will it do to Qin and Chu when Bang Zhou's Heavenly Mandate turns into a sharp blade?
By then, you will surely resent me for not admonishing you today. β
Luo Yan's words made King Chu's face a little uncertain, he was the monarch of Chu State, and he knew much more secrets than Ying Nuo.
The Qin State is a real soil bun, and the Chu State used to have a descendant of the Luo State, so there are more concerns.
Ying Nuo didn't see the face of the King of Chu, and said with a smile: "Prince, the Duke of Jin made a big mistake and deserves to be punished.
He used to call the king a barbarian before the war, and he used it to fight.
He also asked the state of Chu to cede three hundred li of land, and now the state of Jin should cede three hundred li of land for the state of Chu.
Only by doing so can the king forgive the Duke of Jin for his faux pas. β
The king of Chu already wanted to withdraw, and seeing that the conditions proposed by Ying Nuo were not harsh, he expected that Luo Yan should agree.
So he hurriedly said: "What General Yingnuo said is right, the Jin State should cede three hundred miles of land.
Qin and Chu are countries of in-law allies, and Qin Bo's help to Chu will not be forgotten for a moment.
The widow is willing to give one hundred and fifty li of land to the Qin state, so he will cede it to the west of Hangu Pass. β
Qin and Chu reached an agreement in an instant.
In fact, these lands, whether the Jin State wants it or not, when the strength of the Jin State is damaged, the Qin and Chu countries can obtain them through war.
But if you can fight without blood, why use the knife?
The blood of the Qin and Chu people is also very precious, not those slaves that can be consumed at will.
The forces of the Qin State could not pass through the Hangu Pass, and the territory of the Chu State could not cross the waters of Yiluo and the Taimur Mountain, which was the bottom line drawn by the Luo State.
Within the bottom line, it doesn't matter.
So Luo Yan pondered for a while, and said: "Then the one hundred and fifty li land west of Hangu Pass and the one hundred and fifty li land above Hanyang will be ceded to Qin and Chu respectively."
The three kingdoms signed an alliance to refrain from raising troops, and jointly honored the Son of Heaven, eliminated Yidi, and maintained the stability of the Zhuxia countries.
In the name of King Haotian Su, Luo Guo testifies that if there is disobedience, God will practice it. β
The King of Chu and Ying Nuo sang in unison: "Taiyi Shaohao is above, Qin and Chu and the Jin State are fighting soldiers, respecting the Son of Heaven, and fighting against the barbarians, if you violate this oath, you will fall into the Yellow Spring!" β
This is a major event in the Zhuxia countries, and the historians have recorded it on the bamboo slips.
The alliance was reached, and the two armies of Qin and Chu began to slowly retreat, preparing to return to the country.
Looking at the retreating Qin-Chu coalition army, he thought of the princes in the country, and said with hatred: "It's time to go back and liquidate those traitors!" β
What he hates most is these betrayed clans, even far more than the Qin-Chu coalition army, on the battlefield, life and death have no eyes, but it is intolerable to stab his own people in the back.
The Jin Kingdom, the Luo Kingdom and the ensuing multinational armies marched to the Jin Kingdom.
Facing the menacing heavy ears, the Jin Kingdom Clan had a feeling of impending disaster.
Previously, they blocked the border city to let Chong'er go away, not because they were strong, but because the Jin army lacked food and grass, and Qin and Chu were chasing and killing behind.
If the Jin army dared to engage them, they would inevitably be strangled by the Qin and Chu countries that followed closely behind.
But now that the Jin army has no worries, the casualties of the army are far lower than they expected, and the intervention of the armies of the nations, this battle is to hit the stone with an egg.
There is no shortage of soft eggs in any force, and almost immediately there are people who want to bend their knees and surrender.
The leader of the Gong clan who initiated this rebellion was Gongzi Yang, who was the younger brother of the Marquis of Jin.
In the face of these clans who wanted to surrender, Gongzi Yang sneered: "Look at your ugly face now, Chong'er's evaluation of you is really not wrong at all."
You claim to be the eagle that soars for nine days, but in fact you are a giant rat stealing grain, clothed in beautiful cloth, but inside you are a ragged beggar.
Put away your groveling thoughts.
More than 50,000 Jin troops were killed in the battle!
Those soldiers are eager to eat our flesh and drink our blood, will Heavy Ears stop them?
There are innumerable gold, bronze vessels, jade, and cloth among the princes, all of which are to be given to the soldiers by the heavy ear, and will he take them from his own treasury?
Chong'er mercilessly killed Gongzi Wu and Gongzi Lin, will he let us go?
What a ridiculous idea!
Greet death in Yicheng with peace of mind, and don't have a fluke mentality.
Whether it is to heaven or to fall into the Yellow Spring, this is the will of God, and all mortals have to do is to obey it. β
Gongzi Yang saw it very clearly, and understood that Chong'er would definitely not let them go.
The army of the Jin Kingdom is still quite elite, but in the face of soldiers who have just come down from the battlefield and are full of angry killings, this is not enough to see.
But he himself is open-minded, which does not mean that everyone else is like this, some people are stubborn and personally lead the army to fight against Chong'er.
But it is true that it is an egg hitting a stone.
The Jin army fought and won successively, and it was completely unilaterally crushed, and in a short period of time, it was all the way to Yicheng.
Looking at the vicissitudes of Yicheng in front of him, he obviously left not long ago, but he felt that he had passed through the years.
Chong'er turned his head to Luo Yan and said with some emotion: "Prince, more than ten years ago, it was you who helped me ascend to the throne of Jin with the armies of Luo and Qi.
Now it is you who are leading the army of the country of Los Angeles to save me from danger, such a great kindness, I am afraid that Chong'er will not be able to repay it in this life.
Chong'er knew that what the previous Luohou wanted, but the countries of Zhuxia could stop fighting and quit their troops and fight against Yidi together.
Chong'er is willing to swear to you in the name of Haotian that Chong'er will abide by the alliance of soldiers for the rest of his life.
Even if the Jin Kingdom prospered again, it would never send a single soldier to the other countries for no reason. β
Luo Yan said solemnly: "With the words of Duke Jin, I think my father can be satisfied."
With such virtue, you will surely become a true overlord, and the princes will be grateful for your kindness and will obey your orders.
A defeat like the Battle of Ilo will never befall you again.
The Jin Kingdom was strong again, and Bang Zhou's Mandate of Heaven was maintained, which should go down in history. β
β¦β¦
After the Battle of Yiluo, the strength of the Jin State was greatly damaged, and the Qin State and the Chu State did not have the strength to dominate the Central Plains, under the mediation of the Luo State, the three kingdoms signed the Covenant of Soldiers, which was the first equal treaty proposed and abided by the major powers in the Spring and Autumn Period, until the death of the nobleman Luo Yan who was responsible for mediation, and the thirty-year peace between the Zhuxia countries began to gradually break. ββThe Cambridge History of China: Eastern Zhou Vol. 3
