The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 58: On the Bank of Beiliang, Wu Chu is bleeding [Please collect and recommend]

Looking at the silent Long Yangjun and Xianyu, Yan Yan also knew that although the coalition forces won the battle of Guanyi and the Wei State also obtained Guanyi to control South Korea, the Wei State was still defeated in the end!
This defeat broke the spirit of Wei Wangyu, Xinlingjun, Longyangjun and other lofty ideals of Wei who had tolerated it for decades!

For this alliance, Wei Guo even gave up the reputation of the king and even risked the life of the general Jin Bi, but they only got this result.

This is unacceptable to them!
This also resulted in the reason why King Wei no longer paid attention to the affairs of the court, Lord Xinling drank and had fun all day long, and left all court affairs to the Queen Mother of Wei.

Because their morale has been shattered. Decades of forbearance, decades of disguise, and dozens or even tens of thousands of people with lofty ideals have sacrificed their lives for such a result. They cannot accept it!

If the alliance is successful and Wei regains its hegemony, they can tell Jin Bi during the Cold Food Festival that Hou Ying and those who sacrificed for this plan were worth their while!
But the alliance failed. Although Wei became stronger, the price paid was not proportional to the gain!
Once people feel guilty, they will regret it, and they will fall into self-doubt, which will eventually lead to the dissipation of heart energy and depression!

"Have Lord Longyang and Mr. Xianyu ever heard of the bloody Wu Chu on the banks of Beiliang?" Yan Yan slowly said, "What is the butterfly effect? ​​It's just because no one remembers anything about China."

"Beside Beiliang, Wu Chu is bleeding?" Long Yangjun and Xianyu looked at each other, as if they had heard it before, but couldn't pick it up.

"In the second year of King Zhou Jing's reign, Wu and Chu were in great power and were one of the top powers in the world at that time. However, no one expected that the two countries would break out into a war that almost destroyed the country because of a small matter, no matter how small!" Yan Yanhuan He spoke slowly, "Who would have thought that the cause of the incident was just a mulberry tree, not even a mulberry tree, but a war between two mulberry picking girls over who picked more mulberry leaves!"

"Sir, please elaborate!" Long Yangjun hurriedly asked Yan Yan to sit down.

Yan Yan didn't stand any longer, and he pulled Shao Siming gracefully to sit opposite Long Yangjun.

Long Yangjun only frowned slightly when he saw it, and looked at Shao Siming carefully, but didn't say much else.

"According to historical records, there was a small town called Beiliang on the border of Wu State at that time; there was also a small town called Zhongli on the Chu State side. Beiliang City and Zhongli City lived next to each other, but because they belonged to different countries, the two sides were incompatible with each other. The dogs hear each other's voices, but they never interact with each other until old age and death.

Then one day, two girls from Zhongli City and Beiliang City had an argument and started fighting because they were picking mulberry leaves from a mulberry tree on the border at the same time. "Yan Yan continued.

Longyang Jun and Xianyu both smiled and nodded. They could imagine such a thing. After all, it was difficult for the farmers to have some quarrels. Since they were two border cities, it was normal for them to fight.

"In the end, in the melee, a man from Wu State's Beiliang City was killed!" Yan Yan said solemnly, and then observed the expressions of Long Yangjun and Xianyu.

Sure enough, after hearing about the human life, the smiles on the faces of Long Yangjun and Xianyu disappeared, and their expressions became serious.

As the foreign minister of Wei, Long Yangjun knew the difference between border fights that resulted in human lives and those that did not.

"What happened next?" Long Yangjun replaced himself as the border guard between Wu and Chu. If something like this happens, he must report it as soon as possible and actively negotiate with the other party.

"With the death of this Wu nationality, the situation escalated. The defender of Beiliang City directly sent troops to sneak attack and sweep Zhongli City, and took revenge severely!" Yan Yan continued.

"It's unreasonable. I have to endure it after being swept away!" Long Yangjun sighed, thinking that the incident should end here.

"He is a bloody guard!" Xianyu nodded. His people were killed, and of course he wanted to take revenge. "However, the matter did not calm down because of this!" Yan Yan shook his head. Normally, the game between great powers should be stopped in moderation.

Generally, when it reaches this level and no further casualties occur, it is time to stop.

"The guard of Zhongli City knew very well not to let the situation escalate, so he did not report it to the capital. However, the news of Zhongli City being raided still reached the capital of the King of Chu. The King of Chu was furious and sent an army to capture Beiliang City! "Yan Yan continued.

"Things are getting serious!" Long Yangjun and Xianyu looked at each other. No monarch can afford to sacrifice his land to the city, so whether he is willing or not, King Wu will also end!

"Yes, that's right! After King Wu heard that Beiliang City had been captured, he was not to be outdone. He sent a large army to recapture Beiliang City, and also captured Zhongli City and Juchao, an important town in Chu State." Yan Yan sighed.

"From then on, Wu and Chu formed a rift and fell into a war that lasted for more than ten years. In the end, Wu conquered the capital of the King of Chu, Wu Zi dug up graves and whipped corpses, and Chu was almost destroyed."

Longyang Jun and Xianyu were both silent. If someone told them that grabbing a mulberry leaf caused the blood of two great countries to flow into rivers, they would only take it as a joke.

But they can't laugh now, because this is historical fact.

Just because of the quarrel between two mulberry picking girls over the quantity of mulberry leaves, the two big countries were bleeding like rivers, and even one side almost died!
Then both of them thought of Guan Yi, who was bigger than Yi Sang. Why didn't they pay attention to this nail that was inserted between Qin's confidants from the beginning?

If they had pulled out this nail from the beginning, would the alliance be successful, would Qin be destroyed, and would their plan be realized?

"I have learned a lesson!" Long Yangjun and Xianyu stood up and bowed deeply.

They only thought about why Guanyi could hold on for so long, but they didn't think about why they didn't pay attention to it in the first place.

Because they were too proud and arrogant, they never thought that a city would become the trigger for the coalition to retreat.

If they had paid attention to everything from the beginning and pushed through, no matter how difficult it was to capture Guanyi, the coalition forces would not have dispersed before the main force of the Qin army was defeated.

If they pay attention at the beginning, they will have many ways to solve the problem of Guanyi!

It's a pity that there is no if in reality, and it can't be repeated!

Shao Siming looked at Yan Yan sitting and drinking tea with the old god there, and then at Long Yangjun and Xianyu, who were no longer arrogant but regarded Yan Yan as his peers, and silently closed his hearing.

Unknowingly, these two world-famous figures were affected!
"Yecheng is too big and I can't control it. If, I mean if, I go to Wei State, I want to visit Guanyi!" Yan Yan said seriously.

In his opinion, the Wei Kingdom's court seemed not as chaotic as he imagined, and he also wanted to know where the Wei Kingdom's heritage was now!
