Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 449
Qing Ji speculates that the Wu army in history went on a rampage after breaking through the city of Ying, carrying out a brutal and inhuman massacre of the city.

It is very likely that the Wu army, who ran for a long distance, did not have enough logistical support, and then King Helu of Wu ordered to collect food on the spot, and turned a blind eye to the burning, killing and looting of soldiers in Yingdu.

This will undoubtedly cause public outrage.

There is a world feud between Wu and Chu. If He Lu does this again, won't it intensify the hatred between Wu people and Chu people?
The feud will not be resolved easily, but it can be forgotten in time.

When the Li Shu of the two countries merge with each other and do not separate each other, this kind of hatred will completely disappear.

"Second and third sons, there is one more thing. The widow learned that Shen Baoxu had already entered Qin for help before the war. Do you think that Qin's reinforcements will come?"

Qingji squinted his eyes and asked.

"Your Majesty, I think most of the Qin people will not send troops to rescue Chu."

Bo Tong shook his head and said, "Currently, the capital of Chu State has been destroyed, and nearly half of its territory has fallen, and the king of Chu has fled, but the main force of the Chu army is still there. Therefore, the situation has not yet reached a critical moment. Why did the people of Qin send troops to rescue Chu? ?”

"..."

The capital of the country has been breached, and half of the land in the city has fallen. Isn't it extremely critical?
Qingji thought that Bo Tong took it for granted.

The relationship between Qin and Chu was quite closely connected at this time.

When he was King Zhuang of Chu, the tribes of Rongman and Wen rebelled, and the mediocre people were the main force.

In a very serious situation, King Zhuang of Chu got the help of Qin people and Ba people, and destroyed Yongguo.

Since then, the southwestern frontier of Chu has been greatly consolidated, and the biggest hidden danger of King Zhuang going north to fight for hegemony has been lifted!

Mie Yong has great political and strategic significance to Chu.

From then on, Chu State has no worries, and can go north to compete with Jin State for hegemony.

Qin Kanggong sent troops to assist Chu Mieyong, which expressed Qin's determination to form a solid political and military alliance with Chu, and had a far-reaching impact on the relationship between Qin and Chu.

Back then, Duke Kang of Qin's assistance to Chu Mieyong not only helped Qin to extend its power to the southeast, but also greatly improved Qin's strategic position, and at the same time influenced the situation of Chu and Jin's struggle for hegemony to a certain extent.

Therefore, King Cheng of Chu and Duke Mu of Qin became related by marriage, and Qin Chu's first marriage began.

Later, the king of the Communist Party of Chu married Qin Ying, the sister of Qin Jinggong, as his wife.

After Qin Ying came to marry, Ma Zigeng, Sima Chu, went to the state of Qin to ask his wife for his wife's return to her mother's family, which was in accordance with the etiquette.

The queen of King Ping of Chu and the mother of King Zhao, the Ying family is also a daughter of Qin (Meng Ying).

Therefore, so far, Qin and Chu have been married for three generations.

But as far as Qingji knew, more than a dozen generations of Qin and Chu were married!
next of kin?

Not necessarily.

If it doesn't work, marry the clan daughters. For example, the famous Queen Mother Xuan, Queen Mother Huayang, etc. in history are all Chu daughters.

From the Spring and Autumn Period to the end of the Warring States Period, Qin and Chu have been in love and killing each other.

At this time, however, the relationship between the two countries was very close.

Qingji remembers that the reigning Qin Jun is Qin Aigong, Meng Ying's father.

"If the Qin people really send troops to rescue Chu, what should they do?"

Qingji frowned.

"My lord, regardless of whether the Qin people send troops or not, the most urgent thing now is to find the main force of the Chu people for a decisive battle as soon as possible, and completely disintegrate the Chu army!"

Sun Wu bowed to Qing Ji.

"good!"

Qing Ji nodded slightly, expressing his agreement.

In fact, the so-called main force of the Chu army now has only tens of thousands of people, which is no longer a thing of the past.

Let me ask, how can a group of stragglers have much combat power when the capital of the country is forced, the king flees, and his life and death are uncertain?
In other words, even if the Qin people sent troops, Wu Jun, who was waiting for work with ease, did not have to be afraid at all.

If this was the Warring States period, the Qin army after Shang Yang's reform would be terrifying, but this is the Spring and Autumn Period!
Among other things, in terms of weapons and equipment, Qin Jun is far behind Wu Jun by more than a little bit.

……

The capital of Qin State, Yong.

"Uncle Qin! I beg you to send troops to save Chu!"

The overall black style, the majestic entrance of the main hall, Shen Baoxu knelt on the ground, crying helplessly.

Shen Baoxu entered Qin for two months, but he failed to get the Qin people to send troops.

When it comes to sending troops to rescue Chu, Qin Bo Yingji always talks about it, evading the frequent wars in the north, and the Qin army can't get away.

However, Shen Baoxu knew that this was an excuse.

So Shen Baoxu begged for nothing to stay in Yongcheng, and did not plan to leave unless the Qin people sent troops.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Ri suddenly received the news that the capital of Ying was broken and the life and death of the King of Chu were uncertain. To Shen Baoxu, this was like a bolt from the blue.

Therefore, in order to ask Qin to send troops to rescue Chu, Shen Baoxu could only kneel outside the Qin people's political hall and cry loudly.

At this time, Qin Bo Yingji was sitting on the majesty's platform, discussing state affairs with a group of ministers and officials, when he heard Shen Baoxu crying so miserably outside, he couldn't help frowning.

Distraught!

"Second and third sons, do you think that our country of Qin should send troops to rescue Chuye?"

Ying Ji set his sights on the officials.

All the ministers looked at each other in dismay, and after a while, the senior official Zihu came out and said: "My lord, I think that Wu is just a country in the ascendant, and Chu has dominated the south for a long time. Taking away a large area of ​​Chu's cities and towns may not really destroy Chu."

"Zihu, are you letting others watch from the sidelines?"

"good."

Zihu murmured: "Your Majesty, since the time of Duke Mu, our state of Qin has been in a slump. There is a strong Jin in the east, which prevents our Qin soldiers from going out. In the south, there is a dominant Chu, and Qin cannot compete for the front."

"In this way, our state of Qin can only expand its borders to the west in order to survive, wait for the right time, and then go out to compete in the Central Plains."

"If we send troops to rescue Chu this time, Qin will have nothing to gain, and it will provoke a powerful enemy like Wu. It really shouldn't be."

Hearing this, Ying Ji squinted his eyes, noncommittal.

Zi Pu, another senior official, stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty, I think what Zi Hu said is biased."

"Qin and Chu have been married for three generations, and they have always lived in peace and have a close relationship. Today, the mother of the king of Chu is also the daughter of the king. If the state of Wu can successfully destroy Chu this time, it will definitely replace the state of Chu and become the overlord of the south in one fell swoop. big country."

"However, we, the State of Qin, don't know what the Wu people are planning."

"It's fine if Wu has the ambition to go north to seek hegemony, but if he is afraid of the power of the Jin people and pretends to be a snake, then the Jin people will have no worries and will inevitably look west..."

Hearing this, Ying Ji couldn't help frowning.

What Zihu and Zipu said made sense to Ying Ji.

Sending troops to rescue Chu would not do any good to Qin State, but it might be retaliated by Wu State and provoke a formidable enemy.

But sit back and watch Chu State be annexed by Wu State and ignore it, which is not in line with Qin State's national policy of uniting Chu State and governing Jin Dynasty.

If Wu State does not act after annexing Chu State, and still acts as a pawn of Jin State, wouldn't Qin State be in danger?
