Chapter 86: Chu State Dominates

The Jin State broke the Qin-Chu coalition army, and the army cut through the camp and went straight to the bank of the river, but the army had no boats at all, and tens of thousands of troops were trapped in the Yellow River and could not cross the river.

Although the back road was opened, it was blocked by the river, and for a while, the Jin army was also a little demoralized. Seeing this, Xun Ke stood up again and said, "We have already broken through the encirclement of Qin and Chu and escaped a way out, why are the soldiers so depressed?"

"We have all broken through the Qin Chu camp that has just been killed, how can we be stopped by a big river on the way back? Are you worthy of the robes in which we rushed to our bloody death?"

"If you still want to go home, come with me to cut down trees and cross the river!"

The Jin army then scrambled to cut down wood and make rafts.

On the other side, the Qin-Chu coalition army is cleaning up the mess, and the high morale of the previous big victory over the Jin army is also gone.

"It's up to me to wait for this battle!" Wu Hao sighed and said.

"I didn't expect Xun Ke to be so powerful."

Ying Yue was also a little frustrated: "One husband sacrifices his life, ten thousand people are not to be done, the Jin army will fight to the death, our army should temporarily avoid the edge!"

Wu Hao said: "This time, our army should open the avenue and camp on both sides. When the Jin army sees that there is a way to live, they will not compete desperately, and our army will chase and kill on both wings!"

After the fiasco, the two recovered and soon learned the reason for the fiasco. However, since they had been defeated, the two quickly adjusted their mentality and gathered the defeated army.

In this defeat, the losses of the Qin-Chu coalition army were not very large, with more than 10,000 casualties, mainly because the Jin army was eager to break through at that time and did not entangle too much, so the casualties of the Qin-Chu coalition army were not large, but the morale was broken.

After all, the 50,000 tired army struck a decisive blow, and the two armies of Qin and Chu could not stop it when they joined forces, until now, the two armies still remember the appearance of the Jin army at that time who was not afraid of death.

Seeing that the morale in the military camp was low, Wu Hao and Yingyue did not let the army pursue again, and the casualties of those Jin troops were also not small.

This time, the Jin State can be said to have suffered heavy losses, and it has lost the subject state of Zheng State, and it will be difficult to control the Central Plains again.

The Jin army cut down wood for boats and prepared to cross the river. On the other hand, after a rest, Xun Lin's father was suddenly overjoyed, he was ready to take the army back and commit suicide to apologize, but now he learned that the Jin army actually broke through the interception and came to the edge of the river, and the peak turned around!

As long as these Jin troops are brought back, even if he was defeated for a while, he will not be severely punished.

Immediately, Xun Lin's father led a large army to come, on the one hand, to contain the Qin-Chu coalition army in Yicheng, and on the other hand, to let the army ship to take over those elites of the Jin Kingdom.

The Qin-Chu coalition army originally wanted to attack with a large army, but Xun Lin's father took the lead, and the morale of the Jin State soared, and the Qin-Chu coalition army could not overcome it for a long time, so it had to return to Yicheng.

After receiving the help of the Jin army led by Xun Lin's father, the Jin army under the command of Xun Ke was finally able to cross the Yellow River. It's just that after several battles of 50,000 elites, there are only more than 30,000 people left at this time.

The Jin State can be said to have suffered heavy casualties in this battle, and more importantly, after the alliance of Qin and Chu, it captured the Zheng State. The loss of Zheng Guo deprived the Jin State of an important fulcrum in its Central Plains strategy, and after the Chu State obtained Zheng State, the door to the Central Plains had been opened with a bang.

Qin and Chu won first and then lost this time, although they did not do their best and left 50,000 elites of the Jin State, but the Jin army suffered heavy losses this time, with nearly 30,000 elite killed in battle, and ordinary soldiers were also killed and wounded.

The most important thing is the Qin-Chu Alliance, which lost Zheng Guo again, and the hegemony of the Jin State was ended by Qin and Chu together.

After the state of Chu learned of the great victory at the front and the surrender of the Marquis of Zheng, he was greatly excited, and the Marquis of Chu directly let go of his courage to become the king. In the past, the state of Chu was only called the king in its own country, and after leaving the country, it was called the marquis, so it can be said that this set of inner and outer marquis is very familiar with it.

This time, after the Chu State defeated the Jin State, and no country in the Bangzhou States could compete with the Chu State, the Chu State was the king, and the Bangzhou countries were powerless to stop it.

Even the Zhou family didn't care much about it, after all, the face of the Zhou royal family had already been lost.

After Chu became king, he continued to make friends with Qin, and also agreed to cooperate with Qin

Capture the kingdom of Shu in Pakistan. The relationship between Qin and Chu became closer and closer at this time. From then on, the state of Chu began to dominate the world.

......

When the battle between the Qin-Chu coalition and the Jin state was underway, the Huai state was also dealing with the Xu state. Without the support of the Jin State, the Xu State was not the opponent of the Huai State at all, Chen Yi led an army of 30,000 people, broke through seven cities in three days, and conquered the Xu capital. Capture Xu Gong and all the ministers of Xu State.

Chen Yi sent people to send Xu Gong and others to Huai'an, Wang Jin reprimanded Xu Gong in person, and then cut his title to a count, moved all the Xu State offices to Tancheng, and gave him food and thousands of households, so that he could continue to worship Xu State.

At the same time, the nobles of the Duke of Xu were also deposed by him, except for some who behaved well and let them stay in the nest, the remaining part moved to Yuedi, and part to Wudi, and the entire Xu State fell into the hands of Huai.

Chen Yi sent all kinds of bronze ritual vessels and heavenly sacrificial utensils back to Huaiguo, and then returned to Huaiguo with the wealth accumulated by Xu's office, books, history books, and female officials and attendants.

The old land of Xu was garrisoned by Wang Jin again, and at the same time, students from the academy were sent to Xu to implement the laws of Huai.

Although Xu was an ally of Huai, the system implemented in its country was far behind that of Huai. The first thing Huai Guo did when he came was to abolish the taxes before the Xu State, re-measure the acres of land, and at the same time distribute the farmland confiscated to the nobles and nobles.

The original slavery system of the Xu State was abolished, and the land was allocated to him for farming.

After the restructuring of the Huai State, the Xu State quickly returned to his heart. In this era, with the development of productive forces, slavery has been declining, but there are still many countries that still promote slavery. For example, the Jin State, the Qin State, and the Chu State all had a large number of slaves in the country.

The fact that Xu was able to directly abolish slavery was also because the Huai State had cleaned up all the upper echelons of Xu State in the First World War, otherwise, with their obstruction, the slavery system of Xu State could not be reformed at all.

Huaiguo has a monitor on the Qingshi family that destroyed the country, if it does not win honestly, or if it is secretly carrying out some plans, there will be a big stick immediately.

Over the years, all kinds of nobles have been completely split up and killed. Of course, there are also some nobles who accept it quickly, and the typical representative of this is the Ram clan.

The Ram clan was originally a secretary of the Han State, and now he is also a high-ranking and powerful person in the Huai State.

After some migration, the vast majority of the Qingshi families are seriously injured, and there are not many who can really continue to maintain, and many Qingshi families have finally become local wealthy families, of course, if they are really talented, they will also be promoted and reused.
