History of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 214 Fengzi Debate·Chu Jun seeks peace
  At this time, Feng Yun added: "At that time, maybe Chu State is no longer here."

Baili Xi was stunned, but it was true.

He thought about the words in Feng Yun's Xuan Dao that were beneficial to the human race, but he also knew that Feng Yun had no feelings about the demise of the Chu Kingdom. As long as the Chu people could survive and have their own new world, that would be enough.

"Fengzi, will Chu State really perish?" Baili Xi still couldn't help but ask, because at this time, the Sixth Division of the Emperor had gathered around Chu State, and the war could not stop.

Feng Yun replied: "Maybe, maybe not, it depends on Chu Jun's choice."

Baili Xi was puzzled: "Mr. Chu's choice?"

Feng Yun nodded.

He just said: "Did the Sixth Division of the Emperor really attack Chuhu for virtue?"

Baili Xi's heart skipped a beat, looking forward to the next step.

Feng Yun smiled and said: "In war, all countries seem to only see the number of armored soldiers, the divisions in formation, the commanders of the troops, the generals who charge, the mates of the armor, and the handles of the spears..."

"But these are only superficial forces, the lower limit for war."

"Besides these, the depth of war should be seen in people's hearts."

"People's hearts, in wartime..."

"The military spirit is the edge of the weapon. With a single heart, it can break down the barriers of a strong enemy and make the enemy fearful and vigilant."

"The people's hearts are the handles of weapons. With a single heart, they can grasp victory or defeat unyieldingly and make the enemy surprised and frightened."

“The heart of a ruler and his ministers is that of those who hold weapons in their hands. Their hearts are united, they can fight with method, and like divine help, they embarrass the enemy and make him retreat.”

"Just like cooking, ingredients, heat, and utensils are all indispensable. Only by working together can you enjoy delicious food."

After hearing this, Baili Xi thought about it, nodded and praised: "Fengzi also has a deep understanding of war."

Turning around, he said again: "Fengzi, you have so many thoughts, how can you be one?"

It's one thing to know, it's another to be able to handle it.

It's easier to say, naturally, than to do.

Feng Yun and Baili Xi returned to the palace and sat down again.

Feng Yun said: "They act because of profit, cover their hearts with virtue, and each has his own selfish interests, so the superiors and the inferiors are not the same."

“If you know its response, you will naturally be able to find its solution.”

Feng Yun gave a rough answer.

"There are no two things in the world, and the solution is only a matter of choice."

choose……

At this point, who can choose?
  Yes, only those who are qualified to hold weapons have the right to make choices.

The so-called handle of the weapon and the edge of the weapon are helpless if they are not used.

……

at the same time.

A flood caused the Sixth Division of the Emperor to approach Chu State and then stopped.

But this time, there is no dissatisfaction, but much joy.

The land of Jingchu was originally a low-lying place. It was originally flooded by Yunmengze. After the water in Yunmengze receded, a wealthy place for people to live was revealed.

Now that the heavy rain is pouring down, many of the emperor's advisers are rushing to say that the Chu country is immoral and the sky is raining heavily. The sky can use water to flood Chu to show the power of the emperor.

But some people say that the princes united to attack Chu in order to carve up Jingchu.

If there is a flood, can the land of Jingchu still be cultivated and have a food city?
  Can the people of Jingchu survive and become slaves who can be divided up?
  At that time, I am afraid that many princes and states will be dissatisfied.

However, the emperor was moved by this.

Yanchu!

Looking back at the beginning, when King Zhao of Chu collapsed and drowned in the Han River, the Zhou family suspected that the Chu State had done something. However, the Sixth Army of the Emperor was submerged at that time and his prestige was greatly reduced, so he had no choice but to make peace with Chu.

Now, the Han River can be used to flood the Chu State and wash away the shame of the Zhou family.

Therefore, the emperor conspired and secretly ordered people to find a place to store water, and wait until the right time to flood the Chu land!
  As for the princes... flooding the armies of these princes can weaken their power in one fell swoop and stabilize the majesty of the Zhou family!
  After this order was issued, the Emperor of Zhou even invited the Taigong's rare martial art treasure - "The Art of War" written by the Taigong himself. It was driven by the destiny of the country to conduct a secret and disciplined army, and settled the plans of the Zhou royal family.

In this way, the armies of various vassal states marched slowly and continued to approach Chu.

As for the Chu State, in addition to facing the menacing armies of various countries, Sun Shuao also had to be sent to various places to control floods, which was in a panic.

Now the entire land of Jingchu is like a purgatory on earth.

Plague and floods overwhelmed the entire country.

Death spread.

A night of heavy rain and a night of crying.

The houses in Chu State are quite empty again...

……

"Hurry!" The carriages and horses were rushing along the mountain road.

Xiang Yan escorted, Chu Jun took the lead, galloping in the rain and crossed Jingmen.

Afterwards, the carriages and horses were bumpy and flying, as if they were about to fall apart at any moment.

The car curtain fluttered wetly in the rain, revealing four people in the car clinging to the frame.

He is the son of the Lord of Chu, where he resides and his heart is.

And Mi Yue and Mi Shu!
  This direction is heading towards An Di.

As for the reason-

In a few days, before the war broke out completely, [-]% of the Chu people died due to floods and plagues. As for the land of Yangyue, the situation was even more tragic, and the number was shocking.

Even the King of Chu fainted and collapsed at night, and his hair grew white on his temples.

If this continues, Chu will be dead in less than a year. Why wait for the Sixth Division of the Emperor?
  Lord Chu regretted it endlessly. Only then did he realize that what he had said to Feng Yun was right. What was the most important thing in his choice, whether it was the military, the people's support, or the plague!

"Fengzi, I...I, Xiong Shang from the Kingdom of Chu, want to see you."

Force past the Andi guards.

When everyone in Andi saw that it was Lord Chu, they gathered around and became wary.

Outside the palace where Feng Yun lived, Chu Jun jumped off his horse.

He hurriedly saluted and bowed.

"Fengzi, Xiong Shang would like to see you."

The rain poured down.

On the chariots and horses that followed, four noble descendants of Chu State also got down one after another, came behind Lord Chu, and bowed to see him.

Outside, Baili Xi saw it and waved to the people holding spears.

But he said: "Mr. Chu has made the choice. It seems that he is not an absurd king."

After saying that, Baili Xi stepped forward and pushed open the courtyard door outside the palace.

People all around came with umbrellas to protect Chu Jun and others from the rain.

Baili ridiculed: "Come in, Lord Chu. Don't let me get cold. The Chu Kingdom is relying on you now."

The rain slid down Chu Jun's brow bone, allowing him to see the person in front of him clearly.

An old man with a graceful appearance.

Chu Jun saluted: "I hope the old man can introduce me."

Baili nodded mockingly.

"Please enter the main hall, Fengzi will meet you."

Chu Jun was delighted and hurriedly followed Baili Xi.

Baili Xi was in front and said to the chamberlain: "Go and carry the charcoal fire in the side hall, let the young master and the princess dry the clothes to avoid the cold."

The two young masters' eyes moved slightly, and they both said: "Let Yue'er and Shu'er go, I will accompany my father."

Mi Yue and Mi Shu looked at each other and said, "We will also accompany our father."

Mi Yue added: "The Chu Kingdom is in great trouble. As princesses, we enjoy the benefits of the Chu Kingdom. How can we not bear the cold for the Chu people, ah sneeze!"

"Bring the coals of fire into the temple."

In front of the main hall, Feng Yun stood and looked.

The servants heard this and followed the instructions one after another.

Baili Xi led Chu Jun and others into the palace.

After entering the palace, Lord Chu bowed and said, "Fengzi, please help the people of Chu."

The king of Chu truthfully listed the current situation of the Chu country and the number of casualties due to plague and floods. Tears flowed from the tiger's eyes and he covered his face and wept.

Hearing Chu Jun cry, Mi Shu panicked.

Both young masters deeply admired him.

Mi Yue pursed her lips, came directly to Feng Yun, kowtowed and said: "Fengzi, please save Chu people."

Feng Yun saw it.

He said calmly and calmly: "Yu Ziran is saving the people of Chu. Now the medicine to treat the plague has been released. The Baiyue Kingdom has been looking for medicine in the land of Han and Wu, and the plague will be cured soon."

"As long as there are enough medicinal materials, the plague can be cured. I would also like to ask the Lord of Chu to allow Baiyue doctors and Andi doctors to practice medicine and administer medicines throughout the Chu region, inform them of treatment methods, and cure diseases and save people."

When Chu Jun heard this, he was overjoyed. He didn't expect Feng Yun to have found the solution to the plague.

At this time, he nodded obediently and said resolutely and respectfully: "Fengzi did not care about the past grievances in order to save the people of Chu, which is a great virtue.

"Just tell me what you want, and I will definitely do it. If anyone in the Chu State blocks Fengzi, I will punish him severely!"
