I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 435 The Incomplete Version of the Lord of the Central Plains (for Subscription)
Zhiyao knew that the state of Chu wanted to set goals, and used that method to inspire the Chu people's desire to work hard.

In fact, there have been precedents for similar things. In the early days, the state of Chu used this method to deal with the state of Jin, that is, as many soldiers were left behind, the rest of the dignitaries left safely.

Which time did Chu lose the most soldiers?It must have been the "Battle of Yanling". The loss cost nearly [-] yuan. The king of the Communist Party of Chu even used a bicycle to block Zhifu's pursuit. In the end, it is unknown how many Chu people survived and returned to the country.

Not the first time, but this time there was more shame.The most important thing is to exchange for Chu's monarchs and ministers to return to the country safely, and to arouse the Chu people's hatred for the original country. Under the premise that nothing can be done, this is the best way Bai Gongsheng can think of.

After several discussions on Yuan Guo's side, the reason for choosing to agree is relatively simple.It seems that the Yuan Country is very powerful, but in fact it is really powerful, but there are also many internal problems.

"The most important thing I should do now is to destroy the Wei family and then digest it. After eating the land of Lu, it should also be controlled. It is not an occupation and it's over." Zhiyao felt that the goal of weakening the Chu State had been achieved, but it still couldn't be done all at once. Too ruthless, need to leave some room.

Captive Bai Gongsheng?Now that Zhiyao knows that Chu State wants to inspire Chu people's hatred towards Yuan State, it will be difficult for Bai Gongsheng to continue to serve as Ling Yin to ease the relationship with Zheng State, and then what the enemy wants is what he needs to avoid and destroy. How can Zhiyao let Will Bai Gongsheng get his wish?
Therefore, Zhiyao refused to capture Bai Gongsheng.

In the back, the original army received more than 6000 Chu people, of which more than [-] were considered wounded and sick.

Chu Junzhang was released, and at the same time, Bai Gongsheng and other Chu dignitaries also went south. They joined the third batch of reinforcements at a place called "Duoyu".

Zhiyao, who had dealt with all kinds of matters of the captives, was about to lead his army back to "Puyang", when he heard the news that Bai Gongsheng committed suicide in "Duoyu".

Chu State has a tradition of killing generals when defeated troops. During the Hundred Years War with Jin State, they killed many generals, the most famous of which was Chu State Commander Yin Zizhong. Later, this tradition was abandoned when they fought with Wu State.

"Bai Gong took the responsibility for the defeat and ordered the people of Chu to swear to avenge this battle, and raise their swords to kill themselves in public." Taihu said.

Before, Taihu went to the Song Dynasty as an envoy, and on the way back, he heard the news that Bai Gongsheng had committed suicide, so he inquired many ways to find out more information, and reported it after seeing Zhiyao.

Zhiyao was not the only one who heard the news.

Everyone was very emotional after hearing the news, not many people were gloating, and most of them were thinking about how the Yuan country should deal with the surging hatred from the Chu country.

What they didn't know was that Bai Gongsheng's self-improvement greatly stimulated Chu Junzhang, which worsened Chu Junzhang's injury, not to mention falling into a coma several times, and his physical condition deteriorated day by day.

Chu Junzhang is very difficult to endure now. From a medical point of view, the wound is infected and suppurated. While the high fever continues, the condition repeats again and again. Now that the medical technology is not enough, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit ominous.

"After Bai Gong, who is Ling Yin in Chu?" Zhi Yao asked.

Taihu has no relevant information and cannot answer.

Sun Wu pondered for a while, then said: "If Zigao is alive, he should be Zigao; if Zigao dies, he might be Gongsun Ning."

Ye Gong was not killed in battle, nor was he fatally injured, so he died of illness.

After all, Sun Wu was not a fool in the south for 20 years, and he used to have a high position in Wu State, so it is impossible for him to have no relevant understanding of Chu State.

Zhiyao looked at Zhiying and said, "Collect Gongsun Ning's information in detail."

Of course Zhiying replied: "No!"

Some information does not need to be deliberately collected, for example, Gongsun Ning is the side of Chu State that is friendly to Zheng State.

Looking at it this way, the relationship between Chu State and Zheng State will definitely improve greatly, and it is doubtful whether Zheng State is willing to serve as Chu State's pawn.

Zhiyao asked, "Where are the monarchs and ministers of Lu?"

Taihu said: "Go south with the Chu army, stay in 'Shangqiu' and never leave."

Poor kings and ministers of the state of Lu, they are now in a state of being unable to return home.

It's not that the king and ministers of the state of Lu didn't send people to Zhiyao's side to beg for forgiveness. They were humble and did not talk, and their speeches were nice.

It was related to the strategic deployment of the Yuan country, how could it be possible that the Lu country's envoy said a few nice words, and the Yuan army would withdraw from the Lu country?

Now, the monarchs and ministers of the Yuan Kingdom need to take a look at the situation in various parts of the Lu Kingdom. Either the resistance of the Lu people is too fierce, so fierce that the Yuan Kingdom can’t bear it, or the investment is too large and there is no benefit, otherwise it is impossible to give up the annexation .

To be honest, the Yuan country seems a little anxious to annex the Lu country now, but the Lu country just doesn't have eyes.

Lu Guo flirted with Wu Guo before, and later became the licking dog of Chu State, while actively contacting Yue State.

Just ask, who can bear to have such a neighbor?
Not to mention that the country of Lu is a country that likes talking very much, it is really too difficult to make people feel good.

Speaking from a strategic point of view, it would be a strange thing for the Yuan country to allow the existence of the Lu country. If there is a chance that it will not be destroyed, is it still waiting for the Lu country to become the bridgehead for the coalition forces to attack the Yuan country in the Central Plains?

If the country of Lu is not dealt with, then the coalition forces will gather in Lu and it will be easier to cut off the country of Yuan.

If Jin and Qi are cut off, will the original Congress lose Qi?Considering that it was not long before Qi was brought under the rule of the original country, it is very likely that there will be repetitions.

This time, the old aristocrats of the Qi State couldn't do anything. Firstly, they were a little stupid. More importantly, the original country was in the upper hand against the princes.

"When the princes come to their senses, it is absolutely impossible to avoid uniting against Yuanguo!" Zhiyao knew this very well, and had no luck at all. (The easter egg chapter of the APP client has the latest power distribution map)

They walked back to "Puyang" on ice and snow.

Because it is still a world of ice and snow, the army will not be disbanded immediately, but will be stationed in camp to survive this winter.

Except for the standing army, the traditional army's payment deadline has long passed, and food and drink are all provided by the state. Although the army has complaints, there is no resentment.

Zhiyao met Sima Rangju in "Puyang" and asked about the situation in Qidi.

"The people who got the land love and respect the emperor, the old powerful, and even still have constant production 'scholars', and the doctor has complaints." Sima Rangju said.

Very reasonable!
After all, those with vested interests are the most exclusive group of people. They wish that all the benefits belong to themselves, and they hate being a part of themselves when they were nothing before.

Yuan Guo is now mainly appeasing that group of people. The main reason is that Yuan Guo should not go to war right now. Waiting for the overall situation to stabilize, anyone who jumps again will have to try the strength of the "iron fist".

Many things will change with the defeat of the allied forces of the princes in the original country this time. It just takes time to ferment, so that those who are unwilling to see the reality clearly will either attract them to participate, or there will be a wave of fleeing, and even a wave of suppression. scene.

Zhiyao said: "If there is no surname Chen, the widow must be the first person hated by the survivors of Qi."

That's right, those who still miss Jiang's Lu family, they hate the Chen family's surname the most, and think that without the Chen family, Qi would not be what it is now.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhiyao implicitly encouraged the surname Chen to return to the country.

Sima Rangju asked, "Bring back [-] Chu prisoners this time?"

Not only the Chu people, but also other parties involved in the war were also captured by the original army, but the number of Chu people was much smaller than that of the Chu people, which was not so conspicuous.

Zhiyao said: "Maybe the project will be restarted? These strong and healthy people are laborers."

Yuan Guo is not very willing to continue the war. What he wants more is to quickly calm down the internal affairs and start the second five-year plan.

If nothing else happens, Chu State needs two or three years to lick its wounds, that is, once the Chu State's monarchs and ministers become ruthless, what they will eventually do is to drag the Yuan State to continue fighting, and then continue to fight year after year without stopping.

Sima Rangju talked about other things, and said: "Chen Chujunheng conveyed Chen Jun's request to go overseas and not stay in Donglai again."

Zhiyao had a clear understanding of Guo Jue's surname Chen, and said: "Chen occupied the south of the peninsula when he was three years old, and he has another place to live. He has no intention of staying in the Central Plains."

It is a bit of an exaggeration to say that the surnamed Chen has occupied the entire southern part of the Korean peninsula. There is no one there who can stop the expansion of the surnamed Chen.

Sima Rangju said: "So, don't interfere?"

Zhiyao didn't have the time to talk to the Chen surname, and even admired the Chen surname's contribution to the spread of civilization in the Central Plains.

"There is no dispute for a short time, just show friendship." Zhiyao said.

The war that broke out this year was not limited to the coalition between the original country and the princes, the Qin army and the Dai army were also attacking the western part of the original country, and at the same time, the Chen country invaded the Qi country.

Zhiyao heard that Qi Guo is not feeling well recently.

Compared with the original country, the Chen country is of course a weak country, but it suddenly becomes a strong country when facing the Qi country.

I heard that Qi State was robbed of nearly 4000 people, and a lot of miscellaneous materials were also plundered?

Qi State was originally a small country with few people. After they suffered many disasters, the population of the whole country is still [-].

The surname Chen is going to run away?They should indeed run away, fearing that the original country has lifted the threat from the princes, and the next step is to attack them.

In the western battlefield of the original country, the coalition forces of the Qin Dynasty tried to attack "Hou Li" but failed. They first tried to besiege the city, and then fought a field battle with the original army led by the Han family, and then retreated.

It's hard to say that it was Qin who knew the situation in the Song Dynasty before withdrawing troops, or that Qin's monarchs and ministers could not stand the non-combat attrition of winter combat, anyway, they retreated decisively.

Send troops in winter?Non-combat casualties are normal and cannot be avoided by all countries.

There are three envoys from the State of Qin dispatched, and they choose Yuan State, Chu State, and Yue State respectively. The missions of the three envoys are not difficult to guess.

With the overall situation like that, Qin State must want to ease relations with Yuan State, and then it will draw Chu State and Yue State to form an alliance.

Zhiyao said with a bit of a headache: "From now on, there will be Western Qin in the west, Zhao in the north, Chu in the south, and Yue in the east. I am the only one who is big in the Central Plains, and I am the only one who is strong among all the princes in the world. It is bound to happen."

Sima Rangju added: "There is Beiyan in the north. Your lord, the Zhao family's generation, Beiyan, should be cut off first."

Correct!
The country of Yan in Liaodong is already bordering the country of Yuan. What is confusing is that the country of Jin did not approach it before, and the country of Yan did not take the initiative to come to find it. Both sides pretended that the other party did not exist.

Next, it is inevitable for the princes to unite to deal with the Yuan country. Should the princes not forget the Yan country?

Zhiyao couldn't help but fell into deep thought...
