Chapter 45 Cutting the soil

After Luo Ren returned to Luo Country, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. After falling ill again, a malignant sore appeared on his old wound, and he was dying.

This was something Ji Zhao didn't expect. He had never encountered two Patriarchs being sent away within a month.

In a trance, Luo Ren saw a man standing in front of his couch, "King Su, old ancestor, Ren finally saw you, is this going to pass away?"

He couldn't speak, he just wanted to cry a lot.

"I have a fetish, which can cure your disease, but you have a heart disease. If you can't adjust it, it will recur."

Ji Zhao originally wanted to use a talisman to save his life. He was still very good to his children and grandchildren, but he found that Luo Ren was a physiological disease caused by a heart disease. Even if he was cured this time, he would still get sick soon.

Unexpectedly, Luo Ren shook his head and said: "King Su, don't use the fetish on Ren.

20 years ago, Ren led the members of the Luo clan to fight bloody battles in Yingguo. Countless clansmen died there, and many of them could not even find their bodies. At that time, Ren had a high fever and then suddenly recovered. You were the one who saved him at that time Jen.

Now that you have come to this point again, Renke is really unfilial, and I want you to work hard.

Back then, Ren Yibangzhou's glory inspired the tribe, but in the end it ended in this way.

Returning to the country this time, I saw those young guards guarding the palace.

Most of them are the children of the tribe who died 20 years ago. When they see them now, they think of the past. Ren breaks his promise and dare not even talk to them.

Bangzhou failed to prosper, and Ren should have died in Yingguo that year. "

Ji Zhao could tell that Luo Ren was smiling, but his eyes were dimmed. He already had the desire to die, and he had no face to face his clansmen.

Ji Zhao has always let nature take its course when it comes to matters that do not endanger the family inheritance. Seeing King Su leave, Luo Ren wept bitterly, and he forced himself to stand up and kneel down.

Keeping the posture of kneeling and worshiping, he died out of breath!

"Your Majesty!"

"Haotian, King Su, does this mean that the heavens don't love the Luo family?"

All the people beside the couch were crying bitterly, killing two successive monarchs in a short period of time.

The funeral for the previous term has not finished yet, and the funeral for this term has begun, making everyone feel that the sky is about to collapse.

Especially the words Luo Ren said before his death made all the Dukes of the Luo Kingdom empathize with them. Counting them carefully, which family had no heirs and died in the promised two countries?

The monarch died in grief and indignation, which made Luo's nobles even less fond of the royal family. When the news spread, the sensation caused was even bigger than that of Prince An's murder of his brother.

Wang Zi'an's face turned pale, "How could this be?"

He knew that he would not be recognized by Luo Guo, and the crime of murdering his brother would be placed on him forever.

But his son can do it. He has done all the dirty work. After his death, the relationship between the royal family and the Luo Kingdom will eventually ease. It's the week.

What about Bangzhou's country?
The inheritance of the throne in Luo Kingdom is naturally sequential. Luo Ren's eldest son, Luo Yang, has grown up. He presided over his father's funeral, went to the ancestral temple to pay homage to Su Wang and the previous emperors, and became the No. 11 of Luo Kingdom. .[-] monarchs.

Although Luo Cheng and Luo Ren passed away one after another, the political legacy left to Luoyang is still very rich, and there is no problem with his ability to govern a country.

The first thing Luoyang did after taking office was to renovate the patriarchal system and Zhou rites, engrave words on the bronze pillars, and then erect these bronze pillars in the city of Zhaodu for all the people in the country to watch.

This move is tantamount to expressing Luo Kingdom's dissatisfaction with Luoyi Zhou Tianzi to the whole world, and it is close to pointing his nose at him and calling him a thief who tramples on the patriarchal clan and does not abide by the Zhou rituals.

All the princes in the world came to Luo for the funeral, and Chu naturally sent envoys to Luo to mourn.

Just as Luo Yan got the news of his father's death, he also got the news of his brother's death. At first, some people in Chu State who complained about him began to sympathize with him. It's really miserable.

Luo Yan, who was planning to personally lead an army to attack the Zhou royal family, relieved Chu Hou of his duties as a general, and wanted to take his wife and children to the Luo Kingdom for the funeral.

The Marquis of Chu agreed to his request and asked him to take the mission of Chu State. Although Chu State was hostile to the Zhou royal family, since Luo State did not stand with the Zhou royal family this time, there was no need to offend Luo State.

What's more, Luo Yan is the real descendant of the Luo family, and his children are all direct descendants of the Luo family. Ji Zhao's ancestors can still protect them, so it is unreasonable not to pay homage to King Su.

A large number of troops from Chu State went up the river, and all the troops from Shen Sui and the two countries stayed in the city and did not dare to go out to fight in the field.

Luo Zhongshu was still struggling with whether to help the royal family of Zhou, but when he heard that his nephew died in grief and anger, his defenses were completely broken.

He ordered all Ying soldiers not to go out to fight, and let the Chu army pass through the border. He even went out of the city to deliver food and grass to the Chu army.

So when the Chu army arrived at Wang Ji, they faced only the Zhou Zheng coalition army!
It is true that if you get the right way, you will get more help, but if you are unjust, you will get little help. If you do many unrighteous actions, you will kill yourself!
The Chu army was directly stationed at the foot of Songshan Mountain, which was not even far from Luoyi!
The army of the royal family of Zhou and the army of Zheng Guo defended the sudden attack of the Chu army at the foot of Taishi Mountain.

"Wang Zi'an, how can a man who kills his brother rule the world?
Will God bless a thief like him? "

The prince of Chu directly cursed at Zhou Jun.

Ji An and Zheng Hou got together and discussed how to retreat the Chu army. The two of them didn't want to fight the Chu army at all.

Especially Ji An, he knew that the royal family's army was not weak, but he hadn't been able to control the army yet, so if he went into battle rashly, if something happened, he couldn't tolerate it.

So Zheng Hou said to Ji An: "Your Majesty, the Chu army's accusation of killing your brother is nonsense, and it must have been deceived by traitors.

As long as you express enough sincerity, Chu State must be able to understand you.

Queen Mother Chu Mi missed her hometown and returned to Chu State. She is your aunt, you should be filial. Why don't you hand over the suzerainty of the Tang State to the Queen Mother as a place for retirement. "

Zheng Hou said that he was going to give a vassal state surnamed Ji to Chu State, but Ji An actually thought this idea was good. Anyway, Tang State would be annexed by Chu State sooner or later, so it's okay to send it out now.

"At that time, the widow will set aside a piece of land for Tanghou in Wang Jizhong as compensation. I believe Tanghou is also willing."

After discussing the countermeasures, Ji An quickly sent people to the camp of the Chu army, and Xiong Dan was about to drive the envoy out immediately.

The envoy quickly shouted: "Prince, Your Majesty is willing to use the Tang Kingdom as a place of support for the Queen Mother, as a filial piety."

Xiong Dan's expression changed several times, and finally he brought the messenger into the camp.

The result between the royal family and the state of Chu once again shocked everyone in the world.

The military strength of the royal family is not weak. Duke Luo Xuan has managed for so many years, sold the blood of the Luo Kingdom, sucked the blood of the princes, and used all means to train a not weak army for the royal family.

Why did you cede the land without fighting?

Naturally, they didn't know what was going on in Ji An's mind. He was a conspirator and didn't trust the troops trained by Lord Luo Xuan at all.

In this regard, Ji An was deeply rooted in the essence of being invincible without a fight. He exchanged the land of Tang State, which he considered unimportant, in exchange for Chu State's retreat, and used acceptable results to prevent unknown serious consequences from appearing.

Luo Yang doesn't care about these anymore, he now somewhat understands why his father died in grief and anger, because Luo Guo has paid too much for these years!
"From the founding of the Luo Kingdom to the present, nearly 300 years, the male clan in the Luo Kingdom's genealogy, counting the side branches of the side branches, all the old, weak, sick and disabled, and now there are only [-]?
Gu heard that in the early years of King Yi, there were 3000 warriors in the Luo Kingdom composed of purely descendants of the public clan! "

Luo Yang asked in disbelief, and his third uncle sighed: "The strength of the Luo Kingdom has been recovering these years, but the casualties of the children of the public family are too great, and the children of the public family don't know why, and there are very few bastards. This has led to a lack of population supplement for the public."

Luoyang has never heard his father talk about these things, and never thought that for the prosperity of Bangzhou, Luoguo would pay such a high price.

"Luo Kingdom must shrink its battle lines. It is no longer possible to let the children of the public clan join the army on a large scale and let them all come back to have children. With such a small population, how can brave fighters talk about rebuilding?"

"My lord, if we let the children of the public clan retire, then we will have to give up a lot of land."

Luo Guogong, Qing, and Chinese are the main force joining the army, especially the children of Luo Guogong, who have received military training since childhood and are the backbone of Luo Guojun.

"Let's give up some for the time being. Population is the most important thing in the country. Just hold the important position in your hands. When the population recovers, you can take it back at any time."

For such a large-scale strategic shift, it is necessary not only to notify the domestic Qing family, but also to notify traditional allies such as Qi, so that they can prepare.

With the great changes in the royal family and Luo Kingdom, the entire world of Zhuxia slipped away towards the unknown.

……

When King Xi came to the throne, the state of Chu conquered him, he dared not fight, and he ceded the land to bribe Chu. He had no prestige, power, and courage. How could he be undefeated? ——"Historical Records Zhou Benji"

 Luoyang's attributes will not be released, he is an excessive character.

  Marquis of Jin killed the king and King Xi murdered his brother, Zheng Bo shot at the shoulders of King Huan, and King Chu forced the king to cut off the land. Which one do you think has more influence on the authority of the emperor between this and history?
