Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 91
Suppressing Zhongshan is not an easy task. The terrain in the Taihang Mountains is dangerous, and the city is built close to the mountains. Everywhere is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the early preparations must be particularly sufficient.

Especially for Jin, Yan, and Luo, which are the main attacking states, a large number of siege equipment must be prepared, and the princes of the entire Central Plains have begun to prepare for battle. Clear All.

Chong'er has made up his mind that before he dies, he must take off this feat that can be passed down through the ages.

When the coalition forces have been preparing for a long time and have gradually moved into the Taihang Mountains, the results of the Wu-Chu battle came out. Of course, they couldn't hide it at all, especially a large number of Chu nobles fled along the Han River. Everyone in the world can see .

The State of Wu defeated the State of Chu, and even defeated the king of Chu in the first battle. The accumulation of decades of Chu State was wiped out, and the loss was even greater than the previous battle of Jin State and Yiluo.

This result shocked everyone, even Jin Guo was dumbfounded. Is Wu Guo so fierce?

Jin State is the most powerful country deservedly, but I dare not say that it can win Chu State steadily.

Now Wu Guo, a younger brother of Luo Guo, directly overthrew Chu Guo?Is the national power so strong after the integration of Wu and Yue?
Duke Jin Chonger, who had just become the hegemon, asked incredulously to the left and right: "The State of Wu really broke through Ying, the capital of the King of Chu? That is a big country with a territory of two thousand miles!

Is this battle report true?The state of Wu fought and won victories, and defeated the state of Chu? "

Several of the Doctor Qing who assisted Chong Er before had passed away, but the new additions were still capable and capable people. The most important thing in Jin is talents.

They simply read the battle report and got a general understanding of the situation of the war between the two sides, so they directly judged: "My lord, after the integration of Wu and Yue, although the strength of Wu has been greatly enhanced, it is impossible to achieve such brilliant results.

It was Qingji and Sun Wu who were too powerful and had a keen sense of war. They seized the favorable opportunity of Chu's political chaos, the death of generals, and the reign of mediocre talents, and chose the most correct strategic direction. This finally led to the current situation.

However, the upper class nobles of the Chu State escaped quickly and did not fall into the hands of the Wu State, so although the Wu State has taken advantage of it now, the Chu State is just seriously injured.

As long as the state of Chu can borrow soldiers from the state of Qin, it can quickly restore the state.

However, in the future, Wu State and Chu State may use the line from Dabie Mountain, Panyang Lake to Yingshui as the dividing line to delimit their respective territories. "

Hearing the words, Chong Er hesitated and said: "Masters, the state of Chu is now weak, do you want to tear up the alliance of eliminating soldiers and give Chu state a severe blow?"

He still hasn't forgotten the blows Qin and Chu gave him back then, and he was shot down directly from the throne of the overlord. If he hadn't gone to the Luo Kingdom to beg, he almost died in the wilderness. What a tragic experience.

All the ministers of the state of Jin said almost in unison: "You can't do it, the king!
Reputation is the foundation of an overlord, and as a witness of the covenant, the Luo family will definitely be dissatisfied if they break the alliance without a reason. You know how much they value reputation. "

Luo's reputation is the most precious treasure in the world, and it cannot be destroyed by a mere Chong'er. Fortunately, Chong'er did not do this, otherwise Luo Yu would definitely let him know the horror of betraying the alliance.

The state of Jin was only a shock at most. For the Academy of Luo Kingdom, it was a feast, a war completely different from the past. The thoughts spread from the Academy affected every aspect of Zhu Xia's world, including the aspect of war. .

In fact, from the end of the Wuyue War, many people were thinking about why Yue State lost to Wu State so neatly. When it came to this Wu-Chu War, many people were also thinking about it.

In Yongdu of the Qin State, the Queen Mother of the King of Chu and the King of Chu arrived in the State of Qin smoothly, and brought the news of the defeat of the State of Chu.

30 beats 15, the population and territory are several times that of Wu, and the grain and grass soldiers are far superior to Wu's army. No matter how you look at it, Chu has the advantage, right?

How could it be so complete that the country was lost?
The monarch and ministers of the Qin State doubted life, whether this ally could still be wanted, but they could still be saved.

But when they launched the battle report between the two sides, they keenly sensed that something was wrong, "My lord, Qing Ji and Sun Wu are indeed not to be underestimated, they seem to be people like King Wu."

Among Bang Zhou, Wu Wang is different from Su Wang. Su Wang is omnipotent and has obvious destiny blessings on him, but Wu Wang is the god of war in the world.

At the beginning of the war with Yin and Shang, King Wu won more and more with less, and finally collapsed the national strength of Yin and Shang. He tried his best to fight against Zhou army in Muye. In the end, King Wu still won a big victory. Morale collapsed.

"Sun Wu formulated a strategy to command the troops. At the critical moment, Qing Ji, who was the champion of the three armies, rushed to the battle. The commanders of the two sides were not at the same level at all. No wonder Chu State lost so badly.

My lord, this time I am going east to help the state of Chu restore the country, and I ask the general to make a note of it. With the majestic national power, we will forcefully fight the war of attrition with the state of Wu. They have come from afar and have no foundation, so they are definitely not opponents. "

Amidst the shock of the world, the army of Qin State and the army of Chu who had previously protected the escaped nobles went straight down the river, claiming to dispatch 50 troops to regain the homeland of Chu State.

At this time, the benefits of Chu's wanton enfeoffment system were reflected, and the resistance on the Jianghan Plain was very strong.

The army of Qin State once again set foot on the land of Chu State, and the general of Qin State smiled and said: "Queen Dowager, the last time Qin and Chu teamed up to defeat Jin State, this time there is no problem in dealing with Wu State. I can return to Yingdu City and become the master of Chu again."

The Qin-Chu coalition forces that had changed their war strategy were still no match for the Wu army, but the losses of the army were within an acceptable range.

Qing Ji and Sun Wu immediately judged the intention of the Qin-Chu Allied Forces. Qing Ji gritted his teeth and said, "They want to drag our army to Chu. With the development of the situation, our army has come from afar. The strength must be weakened, but the strength of the Chu people is endless, it is really an ingenious strategy."

This feeling of obviously possessing tyrannical strength, but being limited by the situation and national power, and not being able to vent is too painful.

"My lord, the dispute between the two countries cannot be completed in one generation. We really have to leave. We sent a letter to Luo Guo a few days ago, and now the mediation army has arrived."

After Sun Wu's words were finished, Qingji could already imagine the expressions on the faces of the Qin and Chu allied forces when they saw Luo Guo's mediation.

The aggrieved feeling in his heart disappeared instantly. The happiness of human beings is always based on the pain of others.

Seeing the retreat of the Wu army, the Qin and Chu coalition forces naturally wanted to chase them down. The two sides fought all the way to the edge of Yingshui, and then saw the Central Plains coalition forces!

When the king's flag of the Son of Heaven fluttered first, then the banner of Jin State, followed by a series of princes such as Luo State, Qi State, Yan State, etc. Almost all the princes of the Central Plains who participated in the Jin National Alliance before were present.

Dozens of flags of the vassal states are neatly lined up among the mountains and rivers, and under the big banner are countless armored soldiers. It is really shocking to watch.

The commander-in-chief of the Qin-Chu Allied Forces turned green all of a sudden, and he stepped forward full of anger and asked, "Duke Jin, Duke Qi, Prince, are you trying to tear up the alliance of eliminating soldiers?"

Young Master felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly. He even wanted to fight directly with the Central Plains Allied Forces. He really thought that the Qin and Chu countries were afraid that the Central Plains would fail.

At this time, Luo Yu needs to appear on the stage. I saw him walk out of the coalition army, bowed to the Queen Mother, the Regent of Chu State, and said: "The Regent of Chu State is in front of you, I wish you well, Mr. Qin, I disagree with you. , Luo Guo has always been known for its credibility, so how could it betray the alliance?"

The Empress Dowager of Chu looked at the handsome Gong Ziyu, the light in her eyes was about to pop out, and said repeatedly: "General, there must be some misunderstanding in the crown prince's words."

"I……"

The prince took a deep breath and said slowly: "If you have any advice, please tell me."

Luo Yu sighed and said: "When we met before, we thought that Zhongshan was just a barbarian that could be easily defeated, but I didn't expect that the princes of the Central Plains lost their troops and lost their generals, so they failed to capture it.

At this time, the kingdoms of the Xia countries should be united and advance together. Qin, Chu, and Wu are all powerful and big countries among the Xias. Is it necessary to fight like this and hurt the harmony?

I waited for the princes of the Central Plains to come here to mediate the war between your country and Wu country, and invited the three countries to join the coalition forces to wipe out Zhongshan. This is the kingly way. "

Young Master Qian was furious. When the Wu Kingdom invaded Yingdu, you did not come out to stop us. Now that the coalition forces of our two countries have gained the upper hand, you are here to negotiate a peace, right?

"What the prince said is true, but the war between Wu and Chu has been protracted for a long time, and now Wu still occupies a large amount of Chu's territory, so what should we do?"

Luo Yu's face became serious, and he said coldly: "Hanyangping was originally the land of the concubines entrusted by the ancestors, when did it become the territory of Chu State?
The young master said so, where does the etiquette of Zong Zhou be placed?

It is better for Wu and Chu to use Yingshui Dabie Mountain as the boundary, and re-entrust the princes in the middle, so both sides must be able to accept it. "

The Nanyang Basin and Jianghan Plain, the core areas of Chu State, are in their hands. As long as these two areas are not lost, they can accept it.

But this is still a great shame. A full third of the land was cut off, and Wu Guo directly obtained a large piece of plains, which greatly enhanced its heritage.

Now that the strength of Chu State has been greatly reduced, Qin State is at a disadvantage, so it can only bite its teeth and swallow it in its stomach.

Qing Ji and Sun Wu are already very satisfied with achieving their strategic goals, and then the country of Wu will usher in a time of great development.

When she walked out of the place where the peace was negotiated and looked at the covenant in her hand, the Queen Mother didn't think there was anything wrong, but the eyes of Prince Qian and Chu Guoxin Lingyin were full of anger.

Although the interests of the Chu State were ceded, the young master was a long-sighted person. He understood that Qin and Chu were one, and now it was the Chu State that was trampled on, and the next one would be the Qin State.

"The countries in the Central Plains are deceiving people too much!"

Chu State Ling Yin was even more angry, Qin State was nothing more than the death of a rabbit and a fox, Chu State was not only insulted, but also lost a large area of ​​land, "It's almost 600 years, what is wrong with the Chu people!

Supreme One God, when will you shine on your people? "

The grief and indignation in the words made Young Master feel even more sympathetic. Although Qin State is miserable, compared with Chu State, it is really far behind. Chu State is beaten again and again, and basically every time Once it was a gang fight between the princes of the Central Plains.

"President of the country, after I returned to the country, I wrote a letter to the monarch to open up Bashu and build up the national power. The strategy of the great commoners growing up in different places at the beginning is still insightful now."

Yili has always believed that it is impossible for Qin to go east, at least to accumulate national strength for a hundred years, and then go east when the Central Plains princes themselves break out of civil war.

After the peace talks, Qing Ji thanked Chong Er, Luo Yu, and Lu Jing. After all, Wu Guo was able to win so many benefits because his allies were stronger than those of Chu State.

Of course Wu Guo is not needed to destroy Zhongshan, it is just an excuse.

This war, which lasted for more than half a year, finally ended with Chu State ceding the land, but the anger in the hearts of the Chu people was completely ignited. They held their breath and wanted to take revenge and take back the land that fell into the hands of Wu State.

While Wu Guo was busy digesting the newly occupied land, he was also preparing for war.

……

The Yingshui peace agreement was an ultimatum made by the Jijiang Alliance to the Qinchu Alliance during the Spring and Autumn Period. The Jijiang Alliance tried to build a stable system, but this system was maintained by squeezing the Qinchu Alliance. The recovery and growth of the alliance's strength, those indelible fundamental contradictions mixed with human anger, made the entire Zhuxia world seem to be living in a crater, and destruction would come at any time. ——"The History of the Rise and Fall of the Zhou Dynasty"
