A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 158 Migrating to Yingdu
The Qin army and the Chu army united again, and with the support of the Qin state, the Chu state finally breathed a sigh of relief.The most dangerous moment is over.

With the support of the Qin State, the hearts of the Chu State were determined, and then Xiong Tao began to order the whole country to resist the Huai State.The Qin-Chu allied forces soon reached 20.

Among them were [-] Qin soldiers, and the remaining [-] were re-recruited by Chu. Among them were defeated Chu soldiers, noble private soldiers, and many of them were civilians who had received training for several days.So the strength of these soldiers is worrying.

Zipu, Shangqing of Qin State, and Gongzihu, the general of Qin, came to the rescue with their troops.After learning that Qin State came to rescue Chu State, Sun Wuqingji and Wu Zixu prepared to go north to meet the enemy.

After Wang Qi learned that the army had broken through Yingdu of Chu State, he directly ordered the whole city to celebrate for three days, and ordered to distribute food, fine wine, salt and other items to the people of Huai'an.

The whole country of Huai State was jubilant, and only Huai State accumulated water conservancy projects developed for several generations, so that it was able to celebrate after supporting the army.

Wang Qi ordered Wenzhong to go to Yingdu of Chu State to prepare to relocate the population of Chu State.The entire Huai State was very conscious. Although the capital of Ying was defeated in this battle, the State of Chu could not be destroyed. Therefore, the strategy this time was to plunder as many people as possible and occupy the land east of the Hanyang Plain in the State of Chu.

As for how much can be occupied, it depends on the bearing capacity of the Huai country.

Wen Zhong took people to Chu State. Yingdu of Chu State has a population of more than [-]. Although it is less than [-] due to the war, it is still the largest city in Chu State.

Wu Zixu and Sun Wu had previously transported all the wealth and books accumulated in the Chu state treasury for hundreds of years back to Huai state, but this work was very cumbersome, and it was not completed until Qin and Chu sent troops.

Just when Wen Zhong came, Wen Zhong was responsible for all these matters and the relocation of the people.Wenzhong is equally capable, and is better at this tedious work of appeasing the people.

The type of language asked the soldiers to put a large number of slips into categories, and then write down the number and leave a mark, and transport them back to Huai State.The gold and silver treasures were also transported back after counting.

Because Wu Zixu and Sun Wu searched the entire Yingdu, including the homes of the nobles, they harvested a lot of wealth, bronzes, grain, cloth, etc.

The Chu State has accumulated hundreds of years, which can be described as piled up like a mountain.The Huai Guo Navy transported it several times but did not finish it.Seeing this situation, Wen Zhong immediately ordered the army not to load materials such as cloth and food that took up a lot of space, but to transport away gold, silver, treasures, bamboo slips and books first.

At the same time, Wenzhong left some of these grains, cloth, salt and other materials as food for the army, and distributed the rest to the people of Yingdu.

Even for those huge amounts of copper coins, Wenzhong distributed the remaining copper coins to the people after rewarding the soldiers of the three armies.

After some operations, the reputation of Huai country in Yingdu can be said to be in full swing.You must know that when the King of Chu was here, all kinds of taxes were collected in Yingdu, and all kinds of oppression were done to the people. How could they distribute money and food to the people and stand up for the people?
As for whether they are the Huai country or the enemy, for these low-level people, they don't care whether the Huai country rules them or the king of Chu rules them.

When the gold and silver goods were about to be delivered, Wen Zhong began to prepare for the migration.

Migration is a simple matter, especially if there is still war ahead, a single carelessness can easily cause chaos. Of course, forced relocation can also be adopted, sending a large army to forcefully relocate these people.

It's just that this approach will cause great trouble, and it will take decades for these people to return to their hearts and use them for me.

Wen Zhong asked people to spread the news secretly, saying that the Huai army was preparing to withdraw from Yingdu.This makes the people of Yingdu who have just had a good time feel very sad.It's just that the Huai people were leaving, and he also began to worry about whether the king of Chu would return to his previous state after he came back.Therefore, some people elected some leaders to go there, trying to retain the Huai people.

Yingdu, in a luxurious house.

Several leaders elected by the people were drinking with several petty officials from the Huai Kingdom.

After a lot of drinking, everyone was a little bit drunk, especially the little official who was toasted by the leader in turn was already a little drunk.Seeing that the time was ripe, several people winked, and then asked with Jiu Jin: "I heard that Boyi is going to be transferred back to Huai country?"

"It's not about being transferred, it's about returning home. Qin sent troops, and they and the king of Chu sent a large army to attack. We have gained enough in this battle, and we don't want to fight them again!" Boyi said drunkenly.

"But, but this is Yingdu, if you don't want it, you don't want it?" Several leaders said with disbelief.

"Although Yingdu is good, it is not my hometown." Boyi hiccupped and continued: "I have made money in Yingdu this time. After I go back, I will definitely buy a big house, come to a hundred acres of fertile land, and continue to stay here to make a living. Killing for what?"

Everyone was speechless for a while.

"By the way, for the sake of buying me a drink today, I'll tell you a secret!"

"What secret?" Several people asked suspiciously.

"Hey, you guys have gained a lot from following us this time."

"Yes." Everyone nodded.

"Hurry up and run away with your wife, children, children and property!" Boyi patted his stomach and said.

Everyone was puzzled and said: "Bo Yi, why do we have to run for our lives?"

"Why? Hehe, most of Yingdu's money was transported away by us. When the army of Qin and Chu come back, there will be no money in the treasury in the city. What do you think they will do?" Boyi laughed.

"Is Qin's [-] troops coming to help Chu out of good intentions? After traveling thousands of miles and fighting several battles, how could they return empty-handed when they arrive at Yingdu? At that time, they will definitely rob you of your property, money and food."

"You may think that there are people from the state of Chu, but the state of Qin will not be like this. As you don't know, those nobles who fled also suffered heavy losses. They couldn't take their wealth with them when they fled. Now when they come back, the wealth is gone. Search from you!"

"What do you think they will do? Moreover, you also participated in the distribution of those properties, so they have even more reason."

"Didn't your Huai country send us those grains and cloth goods?" One of them argued.

"Hahaha, we sent it, but will those nobles believe it? Or if they believe it, they won't do anything to you?"

The leaders immediately remembered the style of the nobles of the Chu State, and immediately knew that what Boyi said was true.

"Bo Yi, tell us what to do?" Everyone's face changed drastically, and they begged one after another.

Boyi said: "Didn't I tell you? Take your wealth and relatives and run for your life!"
