Chapter Ninety-Nine: Chu State: Central Plains, I'm back again

Starting from the land of Yingshui, almost the entire Hanyang Plain was in the hands of the Chu State, but the Chu people did not develop enough here, mainly taking military garrisons, with very little taxes, mainly to obtain soldiers from here.

The Nanyang Basin, which flows down the Han River, is the core area of the Chu State, where there are thousands of miles of fertile soil, countless farmers work in it, the breeze blows, and it is lush and prosperous.

The state of Chu has not called up soldiers from all over the country for many years, compared to the war of the old years, which was full of blood and corpses, it was like a child playing at home.

The Jianghan Plain in the heart of the Chu State, this is the base camp of the Chu State, and almost the most elite armor soldiers are from here, and it also bears more than six layers of food for the entire Chu State.

Yingdu, the palace of the king of Chu.

Because they were in a remote place outside the Central Plains and did not know much about the complex situation in the Central Plains, the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State felt very strange about the sudden war launched in the Central Plains.

It had always been a few minor frictions on the border, and at most it was a war between one or two cities.

But now, how can it develop to the point of the bloody war of the Three Kingdoms in a short period of time, and even Zhou Tianzi directly intervened.

It's like two people arguing with each other, greeting each other's parents and family politely, but suddenly both sides pulled out knives, and bright red blood gushed out, and they couldn't stop.

"What did Chen Guo do to make Zheng Guo able to destroy the whole country?

The widow remembers that Zheng Guo has always been a scattered sand, and the Qing clan is fighting with each other, but this time they can act in unison? ”

Doctor Chen Guo came to ask Chu to send troops this time, and he was still very sure in his heart.

Not only because Chen is a vassal state of Chu, but also because he knows the current king of Chu well.

This king of Chu was not a prince before, and he was not favored by the previous king, especially after his mother, he struggled, and finally survived under the protection of the Xiang family.

He grew up in Xiang's family and studied with Xiang's children, so he worshiped King Su madly and was a king with a high moral bottom line.

In order to borrow troops, Dr. Chen Guo did not care about the face of Chen Guo's office, and directly cried to the king of Chu: "King."

Zheng Guo is really too deceitful, and the previous generation of Zheng Hou married Zheng Ji into Chen Guo because Zheng Ji was pregnant with a child who didn't know who.

The minister once heard that Zheng Ji was having an affair with his two brothers, perhaps one of the two of them.

Zheng Guo wanted to make this son of Chen Guo's son, and finally achieve the goal of annexing Chen Guo. ”

Hearing this, the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State above the main hall all had expressions that were really like this, and the tricks of the Zongguo Office surnamed Ji were not uncommon.

"In the past, the dance of the prince of the Jin Kingdom was not as vicious as Zheng Guo's half of it.

Zheng Ji bewitched Xianjun, but the monarch saw through their conspiracy, so he killed Xianjun and killed the child.

Because Zheng Guo is a big country, the monarch did not dare to kill Zheng Ji, but only put her under house arrest in the harem.

Zheng Hou was found out because of the conspiracy, so he was angry, which must be God punishing him. ”

Dr. Chen Guo directly began to use the art of language to reverse black and white, and it cannot be said that Chen Houhu killed his father for beauty, and he couldn't wait to occupy his mother-in-law before his father's corpse.

No matter what the monarchs and ministers of Chu State thought in their hearts, even if it was for the sake of face in the history books, they would directly drive him out.

Doctor Chen Guo thoughtfully continued to find a reason for Chu to send troops, "The monarch thought that the conspiracy of Zheng Guo would be over, but he didn't expect that Zheng Houchan was too shameless and used this as a reason to forcibly attack Chen Guo.

It was obviously their fault that eventually caused the cannibalism of Chen Guo's monarchs and ministers, but they blamed Chen Guo for the reason, all because of Chen Guo's weakness.

Chen has always treated the Chu State deferentially, and is your most loyal vassal, and the Chu State is the strongest country among the Xia.

You are the king of Zhou Tianzi, and your brilliance is so brilliant that it must be able to shine on Chen Guo. ”

These words are really affectionate, but saying these things in the palace of Chu State made the monarchs and ministers of Chu State look at each other while eating melons.

The King of Chu was really as Dr. Chen Guo expected, his face was full of disgust, and he said angrily: "Disgusting, disgusting, is this the so-called Zongguo surnamed Ji?"

Didn't they keep saying that Chu was a barbarian country, how could it be that it was not even as good as Chu? ”

Chu Guoling Yin Xiangcheng sighed with excitement in his tone: "Drunk and dreaming of death!"

The king, the Luo State and the Jin State joined forces to roughly wipe out the barbarians in the Central Plains, and maintained the peace in the Central Plains, they were protected too well.

If a country has no external threat and no courtiers with a good name, it will gradually decline, and this is the truth between heaven and earth. ”

The state of Chu is flourishing day by day, but the state of the princes of the Central Plains is gradually declining, is there better news than this?

The competition between the nations is a process of comparing the worst, the worst country dies first, the rest of the countries continue to be worse, and the one that is not so bad will win the final victory.

Hearing this, the King of Chu said proudly: "The Chu State has been on the road for more than 700 years, and it is precisely because of loyal and upright people like your uncle that the Chu State is prosperous today.

The Zhuxia kingdoms used virtue to establish the country and educate the world, and now that Zheng Guo has lost his virtue, Zhou Tianzi still protects him like this, which is not right.

As a great country in Zhuxia, it is reasonable to uphold fairness and justice and advise Zhou Tianzi to walk on the right path. ”

Xiang Cheng nodded with satisfaction, after hundreds of years of cultural reform, the current nobles of the Chu State are finally not so iron, and they understand that they must package themselves and wrap them in a coat of righteousness.

Xiang Cheng said: "Chen is a vassal state of Chu, and it is clearly stated in "The Royal Road" that the suzerain's obligation to help the subject state, so Chu should send troops to help Chen.

The Son of Heaven made an unbearable mistake, as a courtier, you should be advised, you are the Marquis of Chu in Bangzhou, you are the monarch of Chu, you should go to the Central Plains to advise, in order to prevent the assassination of villains, bring an army of 200,000 to protect you, which is very reasonable.

The minister asked the monarch to admonish the Son of Heaven to make the Son of Heaven realize his mistakes in order to maintain the Mandate of Heaven of Bang Zhou! ”

The eyes of the ministers of Chu State were full of fanatical smiles, and the Xiang family had always opposed Chu State's trip to the Central Plains, thinking that the time had not yet come, but he didn't expect to be the first to make a suggestion now, it seems that this is the general trend.

The Xiang clan can be called the wind and rain in the Chu State, and the courtiers of Xiang Cheng's faction bowed down one after another: "Please also ask the monarch to send troops to save Zhuxia from fire and water!" ”

Then in the entire hall, all the voices of advising the king of Chu to send troops.

The king of Chu was naturally very willing, and no monarch of Chu could refuse to go to the Central Plains.

But he was a wise king, who had experienced the hardships of the people, and asked with some concern: "Uncle, the strength of the Jin Kingdom is strong, and it has always regarded the Central Plains as its own forbidden territory.

Although the relationship between Chu and Jin has gradually eased in the past hundred years, if the state of Chu goes north, will the Jin State agree?

The widow naturally believes in the bravery of the Chu people, but the Jin State, the Luo State, the Qi State, and even the Wu State, isn't this a waste of Chu people's lives? ”

The infiltration of the Chu State into the Jin State was still relatively serious, especially since they contributed to the increase in the power of the Qing clan in the Jin State, and even led some small defeats, just so that those Qing clans who were more centrifuged from the Jin State Office could get a higher status.

This kind of method is really impossible to prevent, if Luo Yan wakes up in Valhalla and sees his descendants working so hard to overthrow the great sect, I am afraid that he doesn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Xiang Cheng smiled: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten the Qin State?"

In recent years, the two countries have coordinated the development of the Shudu Plain, coupled with the gradual improvement of the climate of the Weihe Plain, the strength of the Qin State has swelled over the years, and the bloody war with Xirong for many years, the Qin people are all brave and good soldiers.

If he entered the Central Plains with the Qin people, the losses of the Chu State would have been greatly reduced. ”

The king of Chu hesitated even more, and the two countries captured Bashu and divided the Shu Plain equally, which gave Qin another way to the east.

That is, you can go directly to the river and go down the river from the original place in Pakistan.

However, the exit of this road is the Jianghan Plain, as early as when the Chu State and the Ba State were fighting, a pass was built at the place of the Great River to prevent the Ba State from going down the river, which is equivalent to the Hangu Pass on the Great River.

If the Qin State is allowed to take this path now, it is equivalent to smashing a hole in the wall between the Chu State and the Qin State in order for the Qin State to come out of the house, and then the Qin people will take a look around the Chu State with knives and guns, and then leave Shi Shiran from the gate.

After all, this is no longer the difficult moment when Wu State broke through the Chu capital, the young King of Chu was a little unacceptable, Xiang Cheng was a little strange why the King of Chu hesitated, and after thinking about it a little, he understood the concerns of the King of Chu.

So he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you think that the minister is letting the Qin State go down the river from the top of the river?"

The Jianghan Plain is the foundation of the Chu State, and there are many relatives and nobles living here.

How could a minister let a foreign army of hundreds of thousands pass through?

If a mutiny accidentally occurs and shakes the society of the Chu State, the minister has ten lives, can he afford it? ”

Armed with a sharp weapon, the murderous intent arises.

The army represents danger and destruction, and it is difficult to control the army, and never think that you are truly in control.

King Zhou Li, as the Son of Heaven, finally died in the chaos because he did not control the army, and Xiang Cheng certainly could not take this risk.

"Your Majesty, the Chu people are obsessed with going north, do you think that the Qin people are willing to live in the west and fight against those bloodthirsty Xirong?

From the time Mrs. Xuanqi married to the Qin State, the Qin State never forgot to go east to the Central Plains, which is also the reason why the alliance between the Qin State and the Chu State has not broken down for so many years.

The State of Chu doesn't even need to specifically inform the State of Qin, now that the Central Plains is in turmoil, they will definitely knock on the gates.

With the strength of the Qin State, at least half of the forces of the Jin State had to be placed in the Cuihan Passage.

Otherwise, no matter how steep Hangu Pass is, I'm afraid it will be directly breached, you know, there are too many weapons to attack the city now. ”

Hearing this, the young and heroic King of Chu finally had no worries, stood up and said loudly: "Taiyi is above, and the ministers listen to the order!" ”

"The minister is here!"

"King's order: Chu State goes north to warn the Son of Heaven!

The royal family, the princes, and the feudal monarchs of Chu each led their private soldiers to gather in Yingdu.

The county ordered the county guard to recruit the countrymen.

The widow led an army of 200,000 to Zheng Guo to advise the Son of Heaven.

Sima led an army of 200,000 to Wu.

The general led an army of 100,000 troops to garrison Nanyang to defend the Jin Kingdom. ”

In the palace of the king of Chu, the sky was boiling in an instant, and the population of five million was drawn out of ten to send troops, this was not for the soldiers!

……

After a hundred years, the Chu people, who believe in Taiyi, finally set foot on this land that has always haunted their dreams.

Since King Su divided the ancestors of Chu to the Southern Wilderness, the monarchs of Chu have been unswervingly determined to return to the center of Zhuxia, and they have failed countless times and lost here countless times.

This time they regrouped, unprecedentedly strong, and the principle of neutrality was unprecedentedly weak, and they came with the confidence of victory, trying to create a legend belonging to the state of Chu. - "Pre-Qin Kingdoms: Chu State in Flames"

My favorite Chu State, he is back
