Midnight Forced Marriage

Chapter 355 The Strategy of Chu State
"En." Chu Yue listened carefully, with a serious expression on his face, "This kind of thing happened before in Chu State. Those who were forced to obey, most of them couldn't make much achievements. I even hoped for many generals. As long as they don’t hold back, it’s fine.”

"That's right, then this group of people from the Wugui tribe must be so hoped." I said, "But if it goes on like this, even if it is not a reality, it must be terrible. And, as a small tribe, they , separated from the Qi State by a mountain, when the Qi State is in trouble, it will attack aggressively. In fact, the main fighters must have a guilty conscience, and with such a large number of people who are forced to cooperate by them, even if there is a great possibility of victory, it is impossible. It must be very difficult and timid."

"That's why they proceeded quietly, and they didn't do anything earth-shattering." Chu Yue said, "At that time, the Qi State was actually a small country that had nothing to do with the world, and it didn't have any contact with the outside world. For a while, we even forgot that there was such a small country living next door, let alone a Wugui tribe. It is entirely possible for these two countries to fight a war secretly. What's more, if the swords, guns and artillery The ground attack may still be known to the outside world, but if more than half of it is based on magic, it is very likely that one of the small countries will be attacked and destroyed so quietly, and even disappear."

"You are right, but it seems to me that the battle was fought quietly, and there must be another reason for the quick victory."

"What is it?"

"What they did is unspeakable!"

"Ok?"

"That is to say, when the Wu Gui tribe decided to destroy the Qi country, the means they used, the time, place and method they chose...even how did the Qi country suddenly change from a big country that has been oppressing them to a country that has been given to them?" Such a great opportunity to take advantage of, and even successfully destroy the country by them, there must be an ulterior secret in it. This secret must also exist like a scandal!" I thought, when I said these words, I His face must be very gloomy. It is good to be full of strategy, but it also makes people dark and distorted for a while.

"You mean..."

"I think there must have been a lot of internal changes in the Qi State before that. It was because of its own national strength that it was damaged. It is very likely that there was a problem with witchcraft and the like, which led to such a big loophole and made Wu Gui A small tribe, who has been oppressed by it all year round, may decide to eliminate him with a certain chance of winning."

"For this kind of small country, if you have been enduring humiliation and stealing life, you can wait until you have the opportunity to wait for the opportunity to attack." Chu Yue said, "The thing that happened to the Qi country is really serious. If the big loopholes cannot be resolved for a while, even if Wu Gui does not take advantage of the situation, they themselves may perish."

I nodded, "That's the truth...Actually, Chu Yue, I don't understand one thing."

"Tell me?" Chu Yue laughed.

"You say that the Wugui tribe is close to Qi State, so it must be close to your Chu State. Since Qi State has been oppressing them for many years, just for a little water source, why don't they go to your Chu State? ?” I expressed my doubts, “They won’t be so closed that they don’t even know that there is such a big country as you, Chu, a hundred miles away, right?”

"It's possible to know." Chu Yue thought, "If they come to ask for help, Chu State may or may not lend a helping hand."

"why?"

"You think, Qi State not only bullies them, but also asks them to pay rent and sacrifices for many years. If they take refuge in Chu State, the little benefits that Qi State gets every year for nothing will be wasted?" Chu Yue said, "There is one more thing. , In that case, the Wu Gui tribe took refuge in the Chu State, and the Chu State also accepted it. There is only one possibility, that is, Wu Gui was assimilated into the people of the Chu State and became the people of the Chu State. The Wugui tribe is such a tribe, maybe this is what their tribe doesn't want to see?"

I nodded silently, "That makes sense."

"And," Chu Yue continued, "even if the Wugui tribe agrees to survive, then even if Chu State officially becomes an enemy of Qi State, it is tantamount to saying that our Chu State has engaged in the expansion of the country, and the Qi State's Even if the antagonistic relationship is established, it can never be changed. In fact, at that time, my father was considered a generation of virtuous emperors, and I was determined to follow him. And my father's consistent policy is not to engage in expansion, but to quell internal troubles, and not to bully any other small country .”

"However, what if you are just helping Wu Gui, dissimilating and swallowing them?" I was a little naive, and asked, "Or, your national strength is not weak, maybe if it really develops, Qi State is not your opponent?"

"Maybe, maybe not. At that time, no one was willing to take this risk." Chu Yue said, "What's more, it turned out that neither Qi Guo nor Wu Gui was weak. Their innate witchcraft is just terrible."

"This is exactly what the Chu people lack." Chu Yue said, "Actually, our ancestors were proficient in witchcraft and spells back then, and even knew many talisman-making skills and spells. At that time, it was for Reward yourself and pacify the invasion of foreign races. However, witchcraft is an existence against the sky after all, it will cause people to suffer backlash, and finally make many people who are deep in witchcraft not human, ghosts not ghosts, and assimilate with spiritual power In order to achieve great success, many ancestors gave up their practice because of this. In addition, they have lived and worked in peace and contentment for many years, and their national power has gradually become stronger. They don't need to know so many witchcraft to be protected by a country's iron walls. Being light and comfortable is why many people have neglected the practice of spells, so that after hundreds of years, spells are only a symbol of the ability of the royal family, not a compulsory ability for the common people. Even the royal family members don’t think that our own understanding of witchcraft can play a decisive role in the relationship between Wu Xiangguo.”

"That's right." I couldn't help but sigh, maybe everyone in our Yinyang Village knew magic tricks before?
"Our state of Chu relies on swords, guns, horses, quick calculations, clever minds and hardworking hands and feet. Our men farm and women weave, and we are self-sufficient. In fact, at that time, our state of Chu was only kind to others. No more diplomatic relations have been established," Chu Yue continued.

"You three small countries are all very close to each other, but you don't communicate with each other, and you don't invade each other. However, I didn't expect that in the end, because of a secret that I don't know, the two of you will be destroyed in the end, and one will survive the world. Disappeared." I couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, the world is unpredictable!" Chu Yue also sighed.

It was late at night, and the bonfires were gradually extinguished.Gui Zhi seemed to think that we had finished talking, so he stood up and took two steps, and then jumped up a tree. He was not sitting on a branch, but was covered by the luxuriant branches and leaves, floating in the air and lying on the ground. I don't know if I was adjusting my breath and fell asleep.
