I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 301 Those things about Cai Guo
The King of Chu deliberately sang peace with Chuan Fengxu, but in fact, he just wanted to tell Li Ran not to hurt the harmony between them because of the momentary dispute at that time.

And the subtext of what they said was that he, King Chu, was actually a broad-minded person, and he would never blame Li Ran for his rude words.

In other words, he still hopes that Li Ran can, as always, offer him the last plan he promised before.

And Chu Wang's operation of "eating and throwing up" may be because it was too deliberate, so it made Li Ran even more disgusted.

Obviously, he was not wearing Fengxu, and what he was arguing with the King of Chu was not about personal interests.

Can this be compared?
What he can't understand is the lack of virtue of the king of Chu, and the atrocities of the unparalleled society.

How can this style make him agree?
Therefore, even though the king of Chu performed superbly with Chuan Fengxu at the banquet, he just kept watching with cold eyes and remained silent.

This made King Chu a little unhappy.

He thought that although he could not calm the anger in Li Ran's heart by coming out like this, at least he could ease the relationship between the two of them with Li Ran and give each other a step.

But he didn't expect that Li Ran didn't see it at all, and didn't even mean to pay attention.

You, Li Ran, want to be a human being. Does it mean that he is the King of Chu, so he will lose his self-esteem?

Hmph, I've given you a face, haven't I?

Playing tricks in front of the widow?
After the banquet was over, the King of Chu didn't say much, and deliberately left Li Ran aside.Without even saying hello, Li Ran was allowed to leave.

……

The king of Chu was very satisfied with the destruction of the Chen state, but the compromise and appeasement of the Central Plains countries further fueled the arrogance of the king of Chu, and his ambitions became more and more inflated.

He even faintly felt that even without Li Ran's help, he would still be able to establish immortality!
So, after a short rest, the king of Chu decided to take advantage of the high morale of the army and make another move!
But this time, the king of Chu aimed at Cai Guo, who had been surrounded by them!
Cai Guo is bordering on Chen Guo and Chu Guo, but now that Chen Guo is destroyed, it is obvious that Cai Guo has been directly wrapped in dumplings.

Of course, it is difficult to be alone.

As I said before, since the beginning of King Wen of Chu State, there have been no less than dozens of countries, large and small, that have been annexed by Chu State through successive kings such as King Cheng, King Zhuang, and King Gong.

But now, there are only a few slightly larger vassal states left in the surrounding area, and most of them were either attached to the Jin State or subordinate to the Chu State before, and they struggled to survive.

But now, with Lai Guo, Zhong Li Guo and Chen Guo being destroyed one after another.

In the hands of King Xiongwei of Chu, the territory of Chu State has been greatly expanded.It has already far exceeded the territory at the beginning of his accession to the throne.

And in the hinterland of this huge territory, there is only Cai Guo, a slightly larger vassal state, still surviving.

And who is the King of Chu?Can he accommodate the side of his couch for others to sleep peacefully?
Cai Guo's territory must also belong to the widow!
Just do it!

At this time, Guan Cong appeared again.

In fact, the reason why Guan Cong was able to appear again at this time can also be said to be because of Li Ran.

If it wasn't for the fact that Li Ran had completely fallen out with the King of Chu, it might not be his turn to come to this job of counseling.

Now under the influence of Li Ran, the king of Chu is also very aware of the importance of the so-called "outsmart" and the importance of the so-called "righteousness" when raising troops to fight.

These days, it is really important to fight wars with famous teachers.

Therefore, he had to find someone to discuss and discuss, what should he do to make his teacher famous when he attacked Cai Guo?

Therefore, he immediately summoned Guan Cong, and Guan Cong also cut straight to the point, offering advice directly:
"Your Majesty, this matter is not difficult. Today's Marquis Cai is the one who murdered his father and usurped the throne. This is a great evil. Why don't you use this as an excuse to make trouble? First invite Marquis Cai to enter Chu and explain the whole story. If Marquis Cai comes, then directly hold him , sent troops to destroy Cai. If Marquis Cai does not come, it means that Marquis Cai is guilty, and then the king can justifiably send troops to conquer Cai!"

Having said that, we still need to take a look at those scandals of Cai Guo.

In fact, Cai Guo, like Chen Guo, was also a country that did not do much in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period.

But if you want to go back to the status of Cai Guo, it is very surprising.

The founding ancestor of Cai State was none other than Cai Shudu, son of King Wen of Zhou and younger brother of King Wu of Zhou.It is the descendant of the family member surnamed Ji who is serious about the Eight Classics.

Therefore, Cai Guo can actually be regarded as a relatively important feudal state in the Western Zhou Dynasty for a long time.

But what?In the end, Cai State did not become a veritable big country like Jin State and Lu State.Not to mention that he was once famous like Zheng Guo.

On the contrary, after a long period of baptism, Cai Guo has been in a slump since Cai Aihou.What's even worse is that Cai Guo's ups and downs are all related to women.

Let me start with a story about Mrs. Xi.

It is said that in the past, Cai Aihou married Princess Chen Guo as his wife, and his wife's sister, Mrs. Xi, passed by Cai Guo when she returned to Chen Guo to visit her relatives. Cai Aihou said that Mrs. Xi was his sister-in-law, and she should entertain her as his wife. Therefore, Mrs. Xi was retained.

Who is Mrs. Xi?

This Mrs. Xi is one of the legendary four beauties in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is rumored that she has a peerless face and a thousand charms, her eyes are like autumn waters, and her face is like a peach blossom.

Therefore, Cai Aihou, who is a brother-in-law, was completely fascinated after seeing Mrs. Xi!Immediately, he planned to take it as his own, so that a sister could serve her husband together!
It's just that this kind of behavior is all about strength, especially when Xiguo is a serious vassal state. If you play like this, there is no doubt that you will offend Xiguo in the end?

Perhaps Cai Aihou wanted to bully Xiguo. After all, he could not bully Chu State, but Xiguo thought he could handle it at will.

However, although Xiguo can't beat you on the surface, he still has brains anyway.Therefore, the king of Xi State was furious, and hurriedly sent a letter to the State of Chu, who was then King Wen of Chu.

It is clearly stated that Xiguo is willing to help Chu to attack Cai.

At this time, Chu State was not sure where to expand Chu State's territory. When they heard such a good thing, why not act quickly?Therefore, he immediately sent troops with Xiguo to attack Caiguo, defeated Caijun in Xindi, and captured Cai Aihou.

Cai Guo has been in decline since then.

Here, we can actually mention Mrs. Xi again.

The phrase "women harm the country" is actually completely divided into people and things, especially when it comes to Mrs. Xi, it is particularly obvious.

Although Cai Guo was weakened because of Mrs. Xi, this cannot be blamed on Mrs. Xi.

In fact, Mrs. Xi herself is actually a very charming and legendary woman.

After King Wen of Chu took control of Cai Aihou, this Cai Aihou deliberately talked about Mrs. Xi's beauty in order to avenge Xihou.

After hearing what Cai Aihou said, King Wen of Chu couldn't help being curious.So, in the name of parade, he came to Xiguo.The king of Xi State entertained King Chu Wen, and when King Chu Wen insisted on meeting Mrs. Xi, he was also moved by her beauty.

The next day, King Wen of Chu hosted a banquet in honor of Marquis Xi, and took the opportunity to capture the king of Xi by force, and the kingdom of Xi perished.And let Xihou serve as a soldier guarding the city gate, intending to kill him after humiliating him.

After Mrs. Xi heard the news, she insisted on committing suicide by throwing herself into a well to protect her husband.In the end, King Wen of Chu was overwhelmed by Mrs. Xi's fortitude, and thus saved Xihou's life.As a condition, Mrs. Xi married King Chu Wen.

But the story of Mrs. Xi is not over yet. After she married King Chu Wen, this woman even gave birth to a son for King Chu Wen.

This son was the famous king of Chu State who was the first to drink horses from the Yellow River—King Cheng of Chu.

Later, Mrs. Xi was calm, resolute and decisive in dealing with the "Ziyuan Rebellion" of Chu State, and finally made great contributions to the century-old foundation of Chu State.
