A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 96 Fan Guo: Do ​​you think I'm stupider than Xihou?

Xiguo is a vassal state, with a radius of seventy miles when it was entrusted, and when it was destroyed by Chu State, it was about two hundred miles.

However, the population of Xiguo is quite large, about 10,000+, which is a little less than that of Caiguo.The combination of Xi State and Cai State can barely resist Chu State.Moreover, Xiguo is located in the upper reaches of the Huai River, so it is convenient to transport grain and grass.

Because the king of the Xi Kingdom and the Qing scholar-bureaucrats were all removed by the Chu State, Wang Zhong went to serve as the Xihou, and there was basically no constraint. There were more than 1 soldiers including [-] soldiers and his family members.With these people, they can basically control Xiguo completely.

Wang Zhongnai is the son of the royal family and the younger brother of Wang Yong. This time, Wang Zhong was sealed off, and he can be regarded as the Xiaozong of the Wang family.It is also protected by Zijue, but the surname will be changed after three generations.

With the support of Huai State, Wang Zhong quickly took control of the entire Xi State. After all, Xi State and Cai State had [-] Huai troops stationed here, so he dared not be honest and directly educate them.

The news that the Huai State sent troops to escort Cai Guo's son Sheng back to the country soon spread throughout the Central Plains countries.As a result, Huai Country's prestige soared, and the small countries that originally regarded Huai Country as their overlord came to congratulate them one after another.

Wang Zhong sealed off the country. In addition to bringing tens of thousands of people, more than a dozen academies followed, and at the same time brought Huai country's more advanced farming technology.

And Wang Zhongjiufeng, and Cai Guo watched and helped each other. For Chu State, this was a thorn in the flesh.At the same time, the chain reaction of Chu's defeat also appeared.As the big state of Jingchu, Chu State is worried about being annexed by the small countries around it.

Therefore, after the Huai country showed its strength, the surrounding countries suddenly changed.Among them, Huang Guo and Jiang Guo were the most eager.

The two vassal states of Huang Guo and Jiang Guo are not vassals with the surname of Ji. One is a descendant of Boyi, and the other is a descendant of Xuanyuan Huangdi.There is no pressure on Fenghuai as the leader of the alliance.

After seeing the strength of the Huai country, he immediately sent envoys to pay tribute to the Huai country.

Jiang State and Huang State are on both sides of Xi State, and their geographical location is important. Huai State was very happy to learn that the two countries came to pay tribute.After that, he made an oath with Huai, Xi, and Cai.

The combination of Xi, Huang, Jiang, and Cai, even if Chu is powerful, has to be taken seriously.

The layout of Huai State in Xi State will soon lead to the emergence of an alliance against Chu State, and for this situation, the Central Plains countries are also happy to see it succeed, lest Chu State will come north to the Central Plains several times, so they agree tacitly .

Xi State is busy restoring its national strength and forming alliances with surrounding countries, while Chu State on the other side is not at peace.

The Marquis of Chu drifted all the way in his chariot and rushed back to Yingdu, unexpectedly arriving earlier than the defeated Chu army.Chuhou's behavior made the nobles in Yingdu feel strange.

After all, the Marquis of Chu used fraudulent means to deceive them into fighting against Duke Wu of Chu, forcing them to support him. After Duke Wu of Chu died in Huai, he would ascend the throne and succeed him as Marquis of Chu.Later, they were suppressed even more, and the capital was forcibly moved to Ying.

This made many nobles very dissatisfied with Chuhou. It was only because of Chuhou's strength that these nobles endured. But now seeing that Chuhou led an army to attack a small country like Xiguo, it was defeated and seriously injured. It is a rare opportunity for those nobles.

After Chu was seriously injured and returned to Yingdu, although he was not reconciled to the defeat, he was very happy to get Mrs. Xi.Although he was injured, he did not let Mrs. Xi leave day and night, and loved Mrs. Xi very much.

After returning to the state of Chu, instead of taking care of the defeated Chu army, he went to make Mrs. Xi a concubine first.This surprised everyone in the state of Chu.

Seeing this situation, the eldest son of the Marquis of Chu couldn't sit still. Madam Xi became the wife of the Marquis of Chu.With how much Marquis Chu dotes on Mrs. Xi now, once Mrs. Xi's son is born, there will be no room for him.

Xiong Jian was very worried, but Chu Jun seemed to have lost his spirit after being beaten in the first battle at this time, and began to enjoy himself all day long.In the second year, Mrs. Xi gave birth to a son. Chu Hou was very happy and named him Yun. This made Xiong Jian even more anxious, and the political situation in Chu State became more unstable.

The political situation of Chu State is unstable, Huai State is naturally very happy, and is still secretly contributing to the flames.

After the alliance was formed, Wang Yong turned his attention to Fan Kingdom. Fan Kingdom was a vassal state that was different from the surrounding vassal states. He was a fellow of Chu State in the southeast of Xi State, just blocking the passage of Xi State and Huai State.

And more importantly, Fan Kingdom is now a vassal state of Chu State. For Huai Kingdom, Fan Kingdom is an unstable factor.Whether it is the Huai State or the Xi State, or the Cai State or the Huang State, they do not want to have a vassal state of the Chu State behind them.

Therefore, the fate of the Fan Kingdom was already doomed.

After the defeat of the Chu army, Wei Jun did not send his army back immediately. The army stationed in Xiguo for a year. After Xiguo and Caiguo settled down, Wei Jun led the army back.

Fan Guo was very wary of the Huai State army, always worried that the Huai State would take the opportunity to attack him.Seeing this situation, Wei Jun did not send troops to attack, but sent an envoy to inform that Huai State did not have any malice against Fan State and would not attack Fan State. We will return to Huai State by detour from Huang State.

But for Wei Jun's statement, none of Fan Guojun's officials believed it.Even the monarch of Fanguo asked his subjects, does Huaiguo think he is as stupid as the monarch of Xiguo?Do you think you will believe what they say?

Fan Guo's army was heavily guarded at the border with Huang Guo, and the distance between the two armies was only a few miles.

"General, Fan Guo is so rude, why don't the general and Gu go to punish some Fan countries together!" said Huang Xuan, the king of Huang Guo.

"Huang Hou doesn't have to be like this. I really don't intend to attack Fan Guo. If they are willing to follow, let them follow!" Then he continued to lead the army along the border.

And when the Fan Kingdom army and the Huai Kingdom were marching side by side, the Xi Kingdom army had already quietly gathered to the west of Fan Kingdom.

Fan Guo still felt that he was very vigilant, and when Huai country had no chance to take advantage of it, Xi country suddenly launched an attack from the west.At this time, the army of the Fan Kingdom was in the southeast, and when the news came, the army of the Xi Kingdom had already approached the city.

Fan Guo's army suddenly panicked and led the army back to rescue, but worried that Huai Guo would take the opportunity to attack, and was in a dilemma for a while.In the end, some people were left to continue monitoring, and then the army rushed back to help.

But when the army came back to help, Xiguo waited for work with ease, and was defeated.After all, Xi Kingdom's main force now is Huai Kingdom's elite, which is comparable to that of Fan Kingdom.

Xi State defeated Fan State's army, and without reinforcements, Fan State was left with only a lonely city, which was easily destroyed by Xi State.After Xiguo was destroyed, the population of the land more than doubled directly.At the same time, the hidden dangers behind him were also eliminated.
