Chapter 65
Luo Kingdom, Zhaocheng.

Luo Ci was already graying at the temples, Luo Yan fetched the documents for him, and said with some concern: "Since Duke Jin Chong'er took over the hegemony, he is grateful for the kindness of the Son of Heaven, and treats the Son of Heaven very respectfully.

However, he became more and more harsh on the Dukes of the Jin State, and raised troops against the other kingdoms of Xia. In just a few years, he merged more than ten countries, which is really too arrogant.

Privately, there are rumors that Chong'er once said to the left and right that the Luo family has stigmata, although it is a miracle of Su Wang, but he was born with double pupils, which is the appearance of an ancient sage king, and he was born to flog the world. "

Luo Ci sighed and said: "During the Five Young Masters' Rebellion, Luo State did not firmly support Chong'er, he must have resentment in his heart.

His life has generally been smooth and he has not suffered any tribulations. He has thrown off the Luo Kingdom and ruled alone after he ascended the throne for five years. I don't know how proud he is.

If he wants to achieve the same hegemony as Duke Huan of Qi, he will definitely provoke Chu, but the Qin-Chu alliance and Jin are alienated from Qi Luo.

It doesn't matter if he is alone, he only worries that the Jinhous of all dynasties will develop domineering thoughts in the future, and this is the way to bring disaster.

If the Jin State attacked Chu, Uncle Wu would definitely have a truce with the Chu State. No matter how many reasons there are, it is better to learn a painful lesson. Let the reality make up for his lack of education. "

Luo Ci's prediction for Chong'er was right. Strong strength brings confidence, and the confidence of the entire Jin country is already bursting. The results of these years are really too brilliant.

In the second year after Chong'er was crowned Fang Bo, when the Jin State defeated the resistance of the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms, the senior official of the State of Jin advised him: "The monarch, Qi Huan Gong, although Qi State was the first among the countries, but if the countries united , Qi State cannot win.

Therefore, Guan Yiwu established an alliance headed by Qi State to check and balance the countries through royal orders, prestige, and covenants, and Qi State thus became hegemony.

However, Jin is so strong that other countries cannot control it. After discussing with ministers and others, the move of merging the country can be accelerated, and the destiny has come to you. "

So Chong'er called on Sui, Tang, Ying, and Wu to attack Chu on the grounds that the amount of tribute paid by Chu was insufficient.

However, it is said that since the state of Chu got the strategy of Qin Bo's transmission of the letter, it has taken it seriously, so it resumed the superficial tribute to the Zhou royal family, and no longer took the initiative to go north, triggering a joint attack on Chu by all countries, but has been accumulating strength, preparing to find an opportunity to defeat Wu. country.

Facing Jin's attack, Chu sent a letter to Zhou Tianzi saying: "Son, there is no crime.

Is it right for Jin Gong to attack a prince so wantonly?

You are the Son of Heaven, can you support such behavior?
If you don't stop it, I'm afraid all the princes in the world will be chilled! "

The document was sent directly to Chong'er, who read it and passed it on to his subordinates, so the king of Jin and his ministers burst into laughter.

Who is in the hall to sue the official?

Chong'er laughed loudly and said, "Zhao Qing, write back to Chu State.

The letter said: "The barbarians of Chu State are also barbarians, and it is kingly way to defeat barbarians with Xia!"

Jin State is a prince surnamed Ji, with magnificent etiquette and a powerful army. Chu State should obey, so as to shed its southern barbarian nature early. '"

As soon as these words came out, the state of Chu was directly enraged, and the king of Chu said angrily in Yingdu: "The Marquis of Jin is really too rampant and rude, and it is intolerable for human beings."

Although the princes of the Central Plains have always discriminated against Qin and Chu, and secretly ridiculed them as barbarians, Chong'er's words touched the hearts of many princes, but it is inappropriate to say it openly in the national book.

Many eastern monarchs discussed with their left and right ministers one after another: "Chu State is the kingdom of Xia that was enfeoffed by King Su. When King Yi was enfeoffed, he was enfeoffed as Duke Marquis, and there is a golden book in the court.

Even if it is a real barbarian country, after the golden book is awarded, it should be respected.

Although the state of Chu lived in a desolate place where the caterpillar fungus was infested, and adopted the customs of the southern barbarians in its habits, it was too childish for the state of Jin to start a war with such an excuse. "

The words were worried about Jin's current strength, Wu Guo received the news of Jin's joint troops, and threw it aside.

Uncle Wu smiled and said to the left and right: "Jin has thousands of miles of fertile land, an army of 20, and thousands of chariots alone, such strength has never been seen before.

Chu State will definitely usher in another big defeat after Yanling. At that time, Chu State will not be able to compete with Wu State in the south. "

The king and ministers of the state of Wu have made up their minds not to participate in the war between Jin and Chu, just wait for the defeat of the state of Chu and beat the dog in the water again, just like they did 100 years ago.

Seeing that Wu State did not reorganize its military equipment and prepare to go out, Chu State was overjoyed. It is the best news that there is no need to fight on two fronts.

The King of Chu said with emotion: "In the past, the Chu State did not know how to unite the princes, so it suffered defeat in the Central Plains.

The same is true now in the state of Jin. Isn't this God wanting him to fail? "

So the King of Chu issued a call-up order to the entire Chu State.

"The people of Chu are the descendants of Emperor Gaoyang, and the widows are the nobles of Zhu Xia.

Su Wang bestowed the Chu people with the land to live in, and the ancestors of Chulu Lanli had the wealth of today.

The state of Jin is the ancestral state 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 preserve the state of Chu. The Supreme One will bless every Chu people. "

Qin State, Yongdu.

Madam Xuan Mi's face was full of worry. She knew the strength of the Jin state in Yongdu, so how could the state of Chu resist it?
Uncle Qin was full of excitement. For more than ten years, he had listened to the advice of the aliens and stayed in the west to strengthen the Qin State. But how could his desire to go east be extinguished?
Seeing his wife weeping, he held Xuan Mi in his arms and said softly: "Madam, don't worry, Qin and Chu are allied with blood, and Gu will definitely send troops to rescue Chu."

Yili sat at the bottom of his head, paused and said: "My lord, I have formulated a strategy for you to manage the western frontier more than ten years ago, but now the arrogance of the Jin country cannot be controlled, and it is unpopular. This is indeed an opportunity for the Qin country.

But the minister has a word, and I ask the monarch to consider it.

Once the Qiluo two countries join the war, they must leave the Central Plains immediately, otherwise it will be too late to regret. "

Seeing that even Guoxiang Yili, who has never advocated going to the Central Plains, agreed, Uncle Qin couldn't help laughing, "What the Prime Minister said, I will never deny it."

The Weihan passage between Jin and Qin is a means to control Qin, but this does not mean that Hangu Pass is really an impregnable fortress.

Qin Guo has been working hard for many years to break through this channel, and he has already found 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 Luo State's political affairs.

Luo Yan said with some sarcasm: "Marquis of Jin Chong'er brazenly used troops against Chu, he wanted the whole world to submit to him, it's really ambitious.

Just don't know if 200 million people can rule 1000 million people?

Can a country of thousands of miles control a territory of thousands of miles?

Can the country of a thousand vehicles have the majesty and strength of the country of ten thousand vehicles? "

The cloud of war hangs over the land in the south, and the army of Jin and the army of Chu meet in Ying.

Chong'er ordered someone to come forward and pass the message: "Chu's disrespect to the emperor is why this war was brought about.

The nobles of the Xia Dynasty are favored by the heavens, and the barbarians are rejected by the heavens.

Is Chu State really going to abandon Zhu Xia's identity and join the barbarians?

This is the way to exterminate the ancestral temple and the country. I am afraid that the ancestors of Chu will not forgive you.

The king is the son of heaven, with a broad mind, willing to give life to Chu.

As long as the Marquis of Chu is willing to bow his knees and surrender, cede the three hundred miles of land near Wang Ji to the emperor, and then write to the emperor to admit his mistakes.

If you express your sincerity in this way, the state of Jin can forgive the sins of the state of Chu. "

The state of Chu has the largest territory among all the states, and the land of three hundred miles 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.

Raising wolves with land will only make them weaker and weaker. Give land to brave warriors, and Chu will be invincible.

Chong'er asked the widow to cede the land of three hundred miles, and the widow promised to reward the warrior who captured Chong'er with the land of three hundred miles. "

Three hundred miles of land!

Not many vassal states are so big, even the people of Chu State's official family were extremely shocked, and they wished to go out and fight immediately.

The morale of Chu's army was even higher, and countless shouts of "Chu's ten thousand years" rang out.

After the two sides fired their guns, they began to fight in formation. The two sides fought fiercely, leaving corpses all over the ground. The Chu army was not an opponent, so they retreated thirty miles.

Seeing that the Jin army was really brave and invincible.

Chong'er smiled vigorously to the left and right: "More than 100 years ago, if Wu State hadn't cut off the grain road, Duke Huan of Qi would not have been able to defeat Chu State quickly.

But today, although the state of Chu is strong, it is vulnerable in front of my son of the state of Jin. "

Jin's army is indeed a powerful army in the world. Chu is not an opponent, so it can only keep retreating.

Faced with this situation, if there is no reinforcement from Qin, Chu is afraid that it will really bend its knees and pay compensation.
At this time, Qin's army was divided into two. One pretended to take the Weihan Passage and entangled with the Jin army, while the other abandoned its chariot and came behind the Jin army.

Commanding the Qin army is Uncle Qin's younger brother Ying Nuo. He is a well-known god of war in the Qin army. He is invincible. Uncle Qin sent him out with great expectations.

This is not the first time Ying Nuo has come here. He has always known that his elder brother wants to go east, and wars pay attention to the right time and place, so he has followed the caravan here countless times to explore the terrain, and even relied on his strong memory. Draw a geomancy map.

"General, are our troops going to support King Chu?"

"No need, Jin's army is too strong, even the Qin-Chu coalition army may not be able to win a frontal battle.

During the Battle of Yanling, the Chu State was powerful, and the princes of the Central Plains chose to let Wu State cut off the grain road, and then continued to confront the Chu army head-on, and finally defeated the people of Chu State.

Now almost all the grain roads of the Jin army are supplied by Wang Ji, and our most important thing is to cut off Wang Ji's grain and grass supply.

The Jin army fought across the river, and the Chu state was not weak and fought in the middle of the country, so it will last for a long time.

The state of Jin has been unable to attack for a long time, and will definitely return to attack our army at that time. Our army occupies the valley above the corresponding land, and can advance, attack, retreat or defend.

The Jin people will be in a dilemma, and the food and grass will not be enough. When the morale of the Jin army collapses, the Chu state will attack our army back and forth, so that we can win. "

The Qin army attacked the grain road of the Jin State, and the news quickly spread to the Jin army on the front line. Chong'er was a little shocked when he heard the news.

"Qin Jun is still at Hangu Pass, how could he come here?
The general was sent alone to sit in Hangu Pass, and he also ordered the generals of the three armies to sit in Xiaoshan.

Guanzhong is just a cage. Unless the Qin army has the ability to fly birds, how could it be possible to enter Guandong? "

The kings and ministers of the Jin state are capable people who can forge the hegemony of the Jin state. They dare to attack Chu because even if the Jin state does not have wings, the Chu state does not either!
The countries around Chu State are all his enemies, and the only ally is Qin State, but being blocked by Hangu Pass, at most it can only restrain troops for Chu State.

But now there is such an accident, Qin's army unexpectedly appeared behind Jin.

"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 actions. The army can only supply food and grass for a month at most. If it is not replenished, it will definitely be a mutiny of the army. "

"The State of Qin is really hateful. If Gu does not seek trouble with him, he dares to tease Gu's tiger's beard. After returning to the country, he will reorganize his army and go west to Hangu Pass to conquer Qin!"

Chong Er said bitterly, but he is a hero after all. After the Qin army cut off the food road, he knew that this time the attack on Chu would return in vain.

So he said decisively: "The army's grain road was attacked by the Qin army, so we can't take any risks and return to the country immediately. The Jin country is powerful, so we will come back next time.

But if you encounter the failure of the Battle of Yanling in the Chu State, I am afraid that you will not be able to recover in 20 years. "

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 thing, so he is very cautious.

Seeing that the monarch is still very wise, the officials of Jin who accompanied the army breathed a sigh of relief.

The Jin army began to retreat quickly, which was somewhat beyond the expectations of the King of Chu. He thought that the Jin army would try to defeat the Chu army, but he did not expect to go so decisively.

But it doesn't affect the overall situation, because the two sides are fighting, and one side can't just go if it wants to, especially the war that crosses the big river.

An inadvertent retreat will turn into a rout, so the retreat speed of the Jin army is not fast. The Chu army, which had been fighting and retreating before, began to harass the Jin army continuously, forcing the Jin army to drop a lot of baggage and corpses.

This feeling of being defeated without fighting, and seeing his comrades die in front of his eyes helplessly, filled the entire Jin army with a kind of haze.

The Qin army had long been waiting for the Jin army in the south of Wang Ji, but it did not stop the Jin army, because the Qin army did not want to fight the Jin army.

Looking at the formation of the Qin army, Chong'er sighed: "The general of Qin is a talented person. If he blocks all the retreat routes of our army, our army will surely be united in the same hatred, and maybe we can win a big victory, but he will retreat. Staying out, but occupying a favorable terrain, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of casualties."

Sure enough, as Chong'er expected, Qin and Chu did not seek to wipe out the Jin army, but defeated the Jin army battalion by battalion, and then encircled and wiped them out.

The so-called unparalleled blessings, misfortunes do not come singly.

The princes who had been oppressed in the Jin country took this opportunity to betray. They led private soldiers to block the border of the Jin country and not allow Chong'er to return to the country!
When the news spread to the battlefield where the Three Kingdoms were fighting, Chong Er was completely stunned. He was still calm when he heard that Qin State had cut off the grain road, but now he only felt a piercing chill that instantly covered him. the whole body.

"solitary!

Gu is too kind-hearted and soft-hearted, so that today's disaster will happen! "Chong'er spit out a mouthful of blood, the hatred in his voice piercingly cold.

Doctor Qing who followed Chong Er was stunned, this incident was beyond their expectation, this group of people from the public clan was so narrow-minded.

Although Chong'er suppressed them, they were still able to make a comeback when the next generation of monarchs came.

"Aren't they doing this to directly destroy the state of Jin?
Here are [-] Jin elites!
If it fails in one battle, the consequences..."

Wei Qing said anxiously: "My lord, the situation has come to this point, Yiluo can't go away, I can only retreat in the direction of Yingguo and Zhengguo, I think..."

Speaking of this, Wei Qing was a little hesitant, and Chong Er said sadly: "Wei Qing, please tell me, at this point, what else can't be said?"

"I thought I should ask Luo Guo for help immediately!"

Everyone froze immediately, looking at Chong'er in unison, Luo Guo can be regarded as one of Chong'er's inverse scales.

Unexpectedly, Chong'er was not angry, but smiled bitterly: "You don't have to look at Gu like this, what Wei Qing said makes sense.

A solitary student with double pupils, everyone said that this was the appearance of the ancient sage king, and later got the help of the two kingdoms of Qi and Luo to ascend to the throne, full of vigor.

In the end, seeing the stigmata between Prince Luo's eyebrows, he felt jealous, and wanted to prove himself that the vision of double pupils was not weaker than Luo's stigmata.

Today, it seems like a joke. "

He talked and laughed, but all the ministers present burst into tears, they all knelt on the ground, kept kowtowing, and mournfully said: "My lord, the ministers are incompetent.

I shouldn't have stopped you from punishing those rebels back then, if you had followed your advice and killed all the princes, there would be no disaster today. "

Chong'er has a great personality, he cheered up after a little depression, and said: "The state of Jin can become as strong as it is today, thanks to the merits of all the virtuous ministers.

Gu heard that the chilling cicada has never seen autumn and winter, and the snake has never seen snow.

This is probably the limitation of vision.

The ministers are all people of high moral character, how can they understand the despicableness of those without virtue?
It's better to get up quickly, this is not the fault of the ministers! "

Qin and Chu also received the news and were overjoyed.

This is really an unexpected joy. Originally, I just wanted to bleed Jin Guo, but I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to beat Jin Guo directly into a cripple!
The king of Chu was even more excited, and the desire to win the championship hidden in the blood of the Chu people rose again.

The army of Jin State fled towards Zheng State and Ying State in a panic, and the coalition forces of Qin State and Chu State followed behind and chased them all the way, blood flowed like rivers.

Chonger crossed the border of Zheng State overnight and came to Zhao City of Luo State. He was taken to the ancestral temple of Luo State, where Luo Ci recuperated.

This is the most magnificent hall in the entire Luo Kingdom palace. Although Chong Er was full of anxiety, he still waited quietly in the courtyard.

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Yan walked out of the house, came to Chong'er and said, "Duke Jin, father is not in good health, so I asked you to wait longer!"

Chong'er said quickly: "Luohou and the crown prince have shown great kindness to Chong'er, and they have taken care of Zhu Xia. It's really hard work. It's not worth mentioning that Chong'er waited a little longer."

The expression on Luo Yan's face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Duke Jin, you are the Fang Bo conferred by the Son of Heaven, bestowed on Jiuxi, commanded the princes, and flogged the world, no one dares to disobey.

There is no need to mention a little kindness, you should be called lonely, this is in line with the etiquette system. "

Hearing the words that were polite but clearly disregarding the relationship, Chong'er felt a chill in his heart, and then heard Luo Yan say: "It should be raining, Mr. Jin, you should go back first, and come back when father is in better health." See you."

After finishing speaking, he went back to the house without waiting for Chong Er's reaction. With the sound of the door closing heavily, a drop of rain fell on Chong Er's face.

Chong Er, who was about to leave, couldn't help but shuddered, and his thoughts instantly returned to the battlefield. The drop of rain seemed to splash the blood of countless Jin soldiers on his face.

"Pfft!"

Chong'er actually knelt down on the ground, burst into tears instantly, he cried bitterly, and shouted into the room: "Luo Gong!
Chong Er apologizes to you! "

As soon as the words fell, thunder rang out, and heavy rain fell. Chong'er was in a panic instantly, and his tears were mixed with the rain.

"Chong'er knows that his crimes are serious, so he dare not ask for your forgiveness, but please see that Jin has made great contributions to protecting the royal family over the years, and you are also a concubine, so you can send troops to rescue!"

Chong'er kowtowed deeply, his gorgeous robe was wet and splashed with mud, his bun was washed away, and his beard and hair were disheveled.

I don't know how long it has passed, it seems that the rain has stopped.

Chong'er raised his head and saw Luo Yan holding a big umbrella and putting a warm clothes on his body.

Luo Yan asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Mr. Jin, what is your crime? Please explain to Yan."

Chong Er said with a pale face, "As the leader of the Xia kingdoms.

It is a crime not to conquer barbarians and Di.

Annexing the Zongguo with the surname Ji is the second crime.

Embezzlement of royal land, this is the third crime.

With these three crimes, how could Chong Er get the favor of God?This is the source of failure. "

Luo Yan seemed to have just realized it, and said with emotion: "Duke Jin, how powerful is the Jin State? It even surpassed Duke Huan of Qi recorded in the classics.

If it is possible to connect Zhu Xia, will there be Rong Di who cannot be defeated?
If the royal family can be respected sincerely, will the princes defame the state of Jin?
If there are one or two allies, would the Qin army dare to display the land of Yingzheng?
If you can make good friends with Wu State, and don't be arrogant, will Chu State dare to fight against it?
If we can unite the public clan, is there a country that cannot return?
Your failure lies in relying too much on force and losing respect.

A benevolent monarch will have many people to help him, and all people in the world will obey him; an immoral monarch will have few people to help him, and even relatives will betray him.

Can the unscrupulous monarch be victorious? "

"Crack!"

A bolt of lightning pierced through the dark clouds reflected how tall Luo Yan was, and Chong'er lowered his head heavily.

The next day.

The Luo Kingdom's army, which had already been on standby, rushed to the front line under the blessing of the "Soldier's Precious Speed ​​Talisman". Following Luo Ci's statement, all countries followed Luo Kingdom and began to organize their troops.

The Jin State has dominated for more than ten years, but they don't know that the world has already been raging and dissatisfied with the Jin State for a long time.

……

Duke Huan of Qi acquired Fang Bo Jiuxi and began to establish a hegemony. For three hundred years in the Spring and Autumn Period, only Duke Wen of Jin was second to him.

Why?

Duke Wen of Jin was modest and eager to learn, wise and good at making judgments, formed virtuous ministers, used capable men, and had the appearance of an ancient sage king, so he could become a hegemon.

Qi Huan was fair but not treacherous, and was close to Jinluo, so Yanling won the victory, and his descendants flourished.

Jin Wengong was deceitful and unrighteous, and he was far away from Qiluo, so there was Yiluo's defeat, which was mourned by later generations.

—— "Luo Palace Spring and Autumn"

 Bing is precious and fast: It can increase the marching speed of an infantry regiment of no more than 5 by 30% without consuming too much energy.
