Daqin Fusu: It is difficult to start the battle

Chapter 180 I am invincible in the world
In a warm pavilion in Zhangtai Palace, Fusu and Meng Yi sat facing each other across a sandalwood desk. On the desk was an incense burner shaped somewhat like a black Taobo mountain stove. Sweet and warm, with a sense of moistness and medicinal aroma.

Meng Yi sniffed the incense lightly and said, "It's really a long story to talk about the Nanjun incident."

"That was in the period of King Qingxiang of Chu. In Qin Dynasty, it was the 32nd year of King Zhaoxiang. At this time, it has been three years since the battle of Yanying."

Well, why don't you start with Pangu creating the world?In the 32nd year of King Zhaoxiang, it happened in 275 BC... Fusu frowned slightly. He had an impression of the battle of Yanying mentioned by Meng Yi. In that year, the royal family of Zhou still existed, and Chu State united with Qi and Han to attack Qin State, also prepared to cut a piece of meat from Zhou Tianzi.

So King Nan of Zhou bribed Zhaozi of Chu State, causing Chu State to abandon the original plan.

But what followed was that the state of Chu was beaten up by the state of Qin. First, Sima Cuo broke through the center of Guizhou and seized the land north of Shangyong and Hanshui. Chudu, killing countless Chu people...

After being defeated, King Xiang of Chu fled to the northeast to Chen (now Huaiyang, Henan), where he later moved his capital.

Bai Qi was named Wu'an Lord because of this military exploit.

It was also in this year that Qu Yuan threw himself into the river full of grief and indignation...

Long live the salty party, salty meat and egg yolk dumpling YYDS... Fu Su shook his head and asked, "After the battle of Yanying, will Chu still be able to fight back?"

Meng Yi said with a smile: "Chu has a vast territory and abundant products. It not only has the benefits of salt and iron, but also has prosperous commerce due to the criss-cross waterways.

"Besides, King Chu Qingxiang is not an ordinary person. To say something disrespectful, King Chu Qingxiang's ability to govern is greater than that of King Zhaoxiang of Qin..."

Well, what expression should I make?After all, he blackmailed my ancestors in front of my face... Fu Su looked sideways slightly, motioning for Meng Yi to continue.

Meng Yi nodded and said: "The reason why King Chu Qingxiang succeeded to the throne is because King Chu Huai was detained by King Zhaoxiang, in order to threaten Chu to cede the land..."

Fu Su smiled and said nothing, he thought of King Chu Meng in a certain TV series in later generations, um, old wretch...

However, it is different from the TV series. At that time, between Wu Xinjun Zhang Yi and King Huai of Chu, it can be regarded as a classic mutual diplomatic fraud.

Qin State did not intend to return the land of Shangyu to Chu State at all, and Chu State did not really break the alliance with Qi State.

On the contrary, after that time, King Huai of Chu fought a public opinion war, saying that he was deceived by the Qin people, so he joined forces with the three Jins to attack Qin.

For this reason, King Qin Huiwen wrote a special "Curse of Chu Wen" to explain that he was the victim.

Well, in order to vent his grief and anger, Si'e engraved that article on the stone.

And the allusions of cursing people for eighteen generations probably started from this time.

"At that time, King Chu Qingxiang was the hostage in Qi State. The ministers of Chu State were afraid that Qin and Qi would unite to destroy Chu, so they gave him a plan to make him promise to cede a large area of ​​land to Qi State after returning to the country as king."

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Meng Yi's mouth: "So King Qi readily agreed, King Chu Qingxiang was escorted back to Chu State, and was crowned king. As for the land he promised..."

Then how can I give it? The covenant is just for tearing up... Fu Su smiled in agreement: "Then what happened later?"

Meng Yi said: "King Chu Qingxiang didn't want to give it at first, but Shangzhu Guoziliang said that since the king has promised, if he doesn't give it, his reputation will be ruined, and the countries will not want to form an alliance with Chu again."

"Ziliang's idea to King Qingxiang of Chu was to promise to give the promised five hundred miles of land to Qi State. Show no weakness."

Fusu was a little dumbfounded, and was taken aback by the operations of these old hooligans.

The land was ceded in name, but at the same time the army was stationed on the ceded land, and if the Qi State became strong, a war would inevitably start.

Meng Yi continued: "At the same time, Chu State sent envoys to our country to ask for help..."

Fu Su stretched out his hand to interrupt Meng Yi's words: "If I remember correctly, King Huai of Chu seems to be still detained in Qin State at this time..."

Meng Yi nodded: "Of course, but Zhao Renlou was in power at that time, so Qin State sent troops to the west of Qi State, subdued Wei and Han, and forced Qi State to retreat. In this way, Chu State was able to use up its soldiers, and the East was restored. Complete."

Zhao Renlou slowly... Fusu recalled the information he saw in some secret palace files. The reason why King Zhaoxiang was able to succeed as the concubine son of King Huiwen was because of Zhao Guo's great help. Ren Lou slowly became the prime minister, and ended Zhao Wuling's life, Qin and Zhao did not fight.

Fu Su said with a smile: "No wonder Master Confucius said that rituals and music are broken? The king of a country takes the lead in cheating people..."

"It was not only King Qi, but also King Zhaoxiang who pitted the king of Chu Qingxiang. The two sides agreed that Qin would send troops to attack Qi, and Chu would cede fifteen cities as a reward. But after Qi and Chu negotiated peace, Chu went back on it again." Meng Yi sneered and continued:

"But the state of Qin is not the state of Qi. If Chu does not grant land, Qin will attack it! In the ninth year of King Zhaoxiang, Qin State attacked Chu, killed [-] Chu soldiers, and captured sixteen cities of Chu State!"

Ah, I am invincible in the Great Qin Dynasty... Fu Su was stunned, speechless for a moment.

Meng Yi explained: "Your Majesty, don't think that King Chu Qingxiang is weak and can be bullied. From my point of view, including the subsequent battle of Yan and Ying, it was all a conspiracy planned by King Chu Qingxiang!"

Fusu asked somewhat differently: "The capital of the country was destroyed, and there were countless casualties. What is his plan?"

Meng Yi said: "Your Majesty, do you know the Qu, Jing and Zhao clans of Chu?"

Fusu nodded and did not speak, Meng Yi continued: "The land of Yanying is the old place of Chu State, and the wealth and land controlled by the San Clan are far greater than that of the King of Chu."

"So in order to get rid of the control of the three clans, King Chu Qingxiang had no choice but to cut off his own arm and let the Qin army attack Yingdu. He did not hesitate to take the tomb of the former king of Chu, Yiling."

Fusu suddenly realized: "It's no wonder that after Chu State moved its capital, the Qu, Jing, and Zhao families never served as Ling Yin of Chu State frequently. It turns out that there is such a layer behind it."

Meng Yi said: "Just after the battle of Yanying and Yingying, King Chu Qingxiang led an army of more than [-] to attack Qin while our Qin army was entangled with the Three Jins. ), and completely destroyed Qin's deployment in Nanjun..."

"Since then, although the county magistrates in Nanjun were dispatched by Qin Ting, they are the same as the current counties in the South China Sea. Most of the government orders are empty words, and the rural areas are even more laissez-faire!"

ps: The "Forbidden City Rubbings Cursing Chu Wen" and other stone drums of the Qin State are preserved in the Stone Drum Hall of the Palace Museum (located in the Treasure Hall).At least it was there when I went there, and I'm not sure where it is now.
