Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 58
After the king ceremony, Qingji immediately sent an edict to Ji Zha, Sun Ping, and Sun Wu to discuss matters in the side hall.

When Qingji told the story of the state of Chu ignoring martial ethics, brazenly tearing up the covenant, and raising troops to attack Wu, both Ji Zha and Sun Wu couldn't help but change their colors!

Ji Zha said with a gloomy face, "I didn't expect Chu people to be so disregarded of propriety, justice, and shame."

"It has only been one month since the signing of the covenant between Wu and Chu, and the Chu people dare to tear up the covenant and send troops to attack Wu! Isn't Chu not afraid of being criticized by thousands of people and ridiculed by the world?"

shameless!

This is Ji Zha's only sense of Chu at the moment.

Qing Ji and Sun Wu looked at each other and smiled wryly!

In the past hundreds of years, the Chu State has done a lot of cheating and brazen things?
Chuben barbarian!

This sentence was said by the Chu people themselves.

Chu State is the first country among all the vassal states entrusted by Zhou Tianzi to openly claim the king!

Just because the culture of Chu is far from the culture of the Central Plains, it seems incompatible. For example, Zhou people value dragons, and Chu people value phoenixes, so it is difficult to integrate.

The state of Chu originally originated in the Central Plains, and its tribes used fire as a totem and claimed to be descendants of Zhurong. However, in the early days of the Shang Dynasty, due to the expansion of the Shang Dynasty, the Chu tribe could not continue to move southward, and they migrated to the Danshui area of ​​Jingshan.

This process lasted for hundreds of years, and the people of Chu overcame thorns and thorns, and it was really not easy!
At that time, Chu people were already far away from the Yellow River civilization and cultural circle in the north, but Chu people still kept in mind that they were "Miao descendants of Emperor Gaoyang".

However, businessmen did not think that Chu State was an old Chinese tribe, because at that time, whether a tribe was a barbarian was not based on the blood of the tribe, but more on whether the cultural customs of the tribe conformed to the etiquette of the Central Plains!

There is no doubt that the Chu tribe, who have lived in the south for hundreds of years, treat the surrounding tribes with a kind of contempt "I am not a barbarian", but they are inevitably influenced by the surrounding tribes, so they are far from the development of the Central Plains culture.

In the eyes of businessmen, Chu is undoubtedly a barbarian tribe!
The leader of the Chu people, Fung Xiong, has always regarded Chu as a barbarian by the Shang as a great shame, but the Chu people are weak and unable to resist the powerful Shang Dynasty.

Until King Wen of Zhou issued an invitation to let the Chu tribe join in the crusade against the desolate and immoral King Zhou of Shang, Vend Xiong readily agreed, because he believed that this was an opportunity for Chu people to return to the Chinese cultural circle and be recognized by the princes of the Central Plains.

Therefore, Vendion led the elite Chu people to trek thousands of miles to help defeat merchants!

After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, Vendion was appointed as the Fire Master because he was a descendant of Zhu Rong.

After accepting the appointment, Zong Xiong exhausted his mind and finally died of exhaustion in the post of fire division.

However, this is not the only bad news brought to the people of Chu at the bottom of Jingshan Mountain!
In the past, Duke Zhou was entrusted with feudal titles, and the enfeoffment of the Zhou Dynasty was based on blood relationship, and there were countless people with the surname Ji.

However, because the Chu tribe is located in a remote area, their strength is weak, and they have no blood relationship with the Zhou royal family, they didn't even get a small viscount!
This is undoubtedly a huge blow to Chu people!

It wasn't until the time of King Cheng of Zhou that the royal family of Zhou remembered the tribe that had paid almost all for the King of Zhou's conquest of merchants, and named Xiong Yi, the grandson of Xiong Xiong, the Viscount of Fifty Miles.

Although he is a viscount, there is no doubt that this is of great significance to Chu people.

This means that the Chu people are finally accepted by the Central Plains culture, and finally recognized by their hometown and cultural orthodoxy in their hearts!

It's a pity that this is just wishful thinking of Chu people.

After Xiong Yi was made a viscount, King Cheng of Zhou ordered the princes to enter the court and held the Qiyang Alliance, and Chu son Xiong Yi was also invited.

But at that time Chu State was really poor!

Even the cattle that were enshrined to the ancestors of the Chu State when he was named a Viscount were stolen from neighboring countries, and he only dared to sacrifice secretly at night.

Reluctantly, Xiong Yi could only take the mahogany bow to drive away ghosts and thatch thatch as a gift to King Zhou, and went to participate in the Qiyang Alliance.

Maybe it was because the carriage that Chu Zixiongyi was riding in was too old, or maybe it was because Chu Zixiongyi's language was incompatible with the princes around him, so he failed to enter the palace in the end!

Xiong Yi was appointed as the master of fire, and together with the king of Xianbei, he did three things outside the temple to make offerings to Baomao, set watch watches, and sacrifice to burn and guard the fields.

To put it simply, it is to prepare wine for the guests, rank them up, and light a bonfire, just like a modern waiter!
But Xiong Yi has no choice. He thinks that Chu State is remote and inferior, and its strength is weak, so he can only surrender.

But this hurt the hearts of the Chu people. After hundreds of years of pursuit, they still could not be accepted by the princes of the Central Plains. Therefore, after Xiong Yi's death, the successor of the Chu State was no longer keen on paying tribute to the Zhou royal family.

Later, King Zhao of Zhou took this as an excuse to personally lead six divisions to crusade against Chu!
Of course, this is just a reason for the Zhou royal family. Their goal is to wipe out the tribes in the Yangtze River and master the copper mines in the Yangtze River Basin.

It's just that what King Zhou Zhao didn't expect was that the people of Chu saw that the Zhou army was powerful, so they would not make direct contact with the Zhou army.

Instead, they united with the surrounding tribes and started a guerrilla war with the Zhou army relying on Mizusawa!

Although the royal family of Zhou had strong soldiers and horses, they couldn't help the Chu people for a while.

During the Battle of Hanshui, the people of Chu pretended to be boatmen and tampered with the boat of King Zhou Zhao and the pontoon bridge where Zhou Jun crossed the river. In this battle, not only the Zhou army was destroyed, but King Zhou Zhao also lost his life!

Since then, several generations of monarchs of the Chu State no longer demanded that the princes of the Central Plains accept themselves, but continued to develop silently, waiting for opportunities.

Finally, the dog army invaded and killed King You of Zhou, King Ping of Zhou moved eastward, and the Spring and Autumn Period began.

The state of Chu took advantage of the fact that the vassal states of the Central Plains attacked each other and had no time for others to attack the Yong state in the west and the Yue in the east. It became a giant that the vassal states of the Central Plains could hardly ignore!

In the end, King Wu of Chu not only made himself king, but also made several of his sons king, saying the famous phrase "I am a barbarian, and I don't have the posthumous title of China".

Let me ask, if there is no such shameless spirit, how can the state of Chu transform from a small country with a radius of less than fifty miles to a great overlord country with a territory of thousands of miles, thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of armor, and once aspired to the hegemony of the Central Plains?

"My lord, the most urgent thing is to think about a strategy to retreat from the enemy."

Sun Wu said with a stern expression: "This time the Chu army invaded aggressively, and Lord Han repeatedly picked quarrels and provoked troubles at the king's coronation ceremony before he went out. I think these two incidents must not be accidental!"

Hearing this, Qingji frowned, and asked, "Changqing, you mean that the Qiandang behavior may have been instigated by the Chu people. When Chu attacked Wu, the Han army would also go south?"

"Not impossible."

Sun Wu sighed and said: "Your Majesty, to be honest, this may not be the worst result!"

"If at this time, there is a change in the Yue Kingdom in the south of our Wu Kingdom, and Ji Guang's side, then our Wu Kingdom will be attacked from all directions, what should we do?"

"Then beat the strongest Chu army before Wu is surrounded by enemies!"

Qing Ji said with a cold face, "However, what I am most worried about now is Ji Guang, who has ruled in a corner. This time, the Chu army's large-scale invasion is very likely to be the plan of Ji Guang and Wu Yuan..."

No wonder the Chu people signed a non-aggression pact so easily the last time Ji Zha sent Chu.

In Qingji's view, how can Chu people be as good as they want according to the greedy and inferior roots of Chu people?
It turns out that the Chu people had planned it long ago!
Chu State and Helu are in cahoots!
