Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 82

"Zhou moved to the east for the king's rest, and Chu moved to Batukong repeatedly. Avoiding the enemy is to extend the enemy. Don't entrust Qianqi to the ancient prince." Looking at the tall city gate of Shouchun, Zhou Chong silently recited in his heart that later generations lamented the power of Chu. Weak verses.

There were five capital cities in Chu State in history, Danyang, Yingdu, Pang, Chen, and Shouchun.Among them, Yingdu is the most famous, which is now Zhongxiang County in Hubei Province. Friends, don’t think that Yingdu is the only capital of Chu State. If that is the case, it will be a big mistake.

The earliest capital of Chu State was Danyang. With the rise of Chu State, the capital was established in Ying.It can be said that this is a good thing, but this good thing did not last long. After King Zhuang of Chu, the state of Chu declined day by day, and its national strength continued to change day by day.Until the rise of Wu State, Sun Wu, the ancestor of military strategists, led [-] Wu troops into Yingdu, the capital of Chu State.

This battle was a catastrophe for the state of Chu, and it had reached an appalling level: In order to avenge his father and brother, Wu Yuan specially instigated King Helu of Wu and Sun Wu to humiliate the wives and concubines of the monarchs and ministers of the state of Chu.

After this battle, although King Chu Zhao seemed to be rejuvenating, the state of Chu did not recover in the end. Fearing the mighty state of Wu, he moved his capital to Pang and settled down for a while.

Bai Qi, the famous genius general of Qin State, attacked Ying and burned the royal tombs of Chu State. Chu State was terrified and moved to Chen State.Bai Qi's attack on Ying was just the beginning of Chu's nightmare. Under Qin's series of blows, Chu was defeated again and again. King Chu Kaolie followed Chunshen Lord Huang Xie's suggestion and moved to Shouchun.

The move of Chu State from Yingdu is a history of the decline of Chu State. Later generations read the history up to this point, and they were so impressed that they wrote the poems that Zhou Chong recited silently.

Shouchun is now Shouxian County in Anhui Province. Now the status of Shouxian County has declined a lot. In the Warring States Period, its status was very important. It was a strategic place for going south to the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, King Kaolie of Chu decided to move the capital here.

Don't think that if Chu loses again and again, there is nothing they can do. If you think so, you must have made a big mistake.Among other things, it is not bragging to say that the territory of Chu State is said to be [-] miles. It is almost [-] miles from Hubei to Shanghai, and it is all the territory of Chu State. Not to be underestimated.If there is a Mingjun, innovation and progress, not the other five countries, only relying on the power of Chu, the general situation of the world is still unknown.

"Fresh clothes and angry horses, famous fur carts, although most of the world belongs to Chu, the name is not false, the state of Chu is so grand, it deserves to be the largest country in the world." Chunyu Jue looked at the non-stop traffic on the street "Qi State is also a big country with rich products, but it is far worse than Chu State. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe that Chu State is so rich."

Mao Jiao nodded in agreement: "Yes, there are a lot of people shoulder to shoulder and heel to heel. With so many people, if everyone sweats, there will be a heavy rain."

"Brother Zhou, why don't you speak?" Chunyu Jue asked Zhou Chong, who was frowning, blinking his beautiful phoenix eyes.

Zhou Chong shook his head slightly, and said: "The state of Chu is very large and has strong financial resources. Although the time of Shouchun Chengdu is short, it is not easy to have such a scene. However, it has continued the magnificence of Zhang Huatai, and its style is magnificent. It is a very skillful feat, but it has lost the vigor of the Chu Cheng and Chu Zhuang kings, and only knows how to indulge in pleasure and hunt in the realm of clouds and dreams. From this point of view, we can know the major events in the world."

"Brother Zhou's words are a bit mysterious, can you clarify something?" Chunyu Jue was a little confused and asked Zhou Chong for advice.Mao Jiao was also a little dizzy from Zhou Chong's words, and looked at Zhou Chong without speaking.

Zhou Chong explained: "Look, the palaces of the Chu State are very ingeniously decorated. Although they are gorgeous and beautiful, they are full of extravagance, while the palaces of the Qin State are grand and magnificent, without much pretense. What they admire is a grand momentum. It can be said to be vigor. The general trend of the world is determined by the two countries of Qin and Chu. The difference between the two countries is so big, so the general trend of the world is not clear at a glance?"

Mao Jiao nodded in agreement and said, "Although Qin is known as the country of tigers and wolves, and the country of the highest achievements, its vigor is far beyond that of the six countries. Brother Zhou is brilliant, and he knows the whole leopard at a glance, but such a trivial matter is beyond Zhou's attention." Brother sees the general trend of the world, and Mao Jiao will not accept it."

Zhou Chong's words were written out of emotion, not because he is a modern person and is familiar with the trend of history.There are many reasons for the rise of a country, covering various aspects. Although Chu State is large, it is a sign of peace and prosperity.

Chun Yujue was also a smart woman, nodded her head lightly, and praised: "Brother Zhou has sharp eyesight, and he can tell you a big truth about such a trivial matter, Chun Yujue will not accept it."

It is conceivable that if her father Chun Yuyue said these words, it would definitely be the opposite of the truth, and it would be worthless to him, and there would be a lot of sages' words, Zhou Chong secretly sighed in his heart. The difference between people is so huge, and he said humbly: "I just expressed my feelings, but I have said all the good things to you."

While the three of them were talking, there was chaos on the street. A group of soldiers rode tall horses. These horses were different. They were all pure white horses.There were a lot of these soldiers, as many as 500 of them. They were tall and powerful. What's more, the armor they wore was actually silver armor instead of iron armor. It shone silver in the sunlight, and the weapons in their hands were also silver.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way." The soldier roared as he galloped.Soldiers galloped like flying horses, rampaging, and street vendors and pedestrians had no time to dodge, and countless people were knocked down.And these soldiers didn't have the slightest intention to stop, they continued to gallop non-stop, and no fewer than dozens of people died under the horse's hooves.

Chunyu Jue's pretty face changed slightly, and she said angrily: "Where are soldiers, they are simply bandits. Even bandits are better than them. Do you treat people as human beings?"

Seeing a banner with the embroidered Li character waving in the wind, a magnificent and luxurious eight-horse carriage galloped towards it.If Zhou Chong hadn't seen this car with his own eyes, it would be hard to believe that there is such a luxurious car in the world. The curtains of the car are made of pearls, real pearl curtains.And the car itself was actually made of gold, shining golden in the sunlight.

Such extravagance, not to mention the Warring States period, is rare even in Chinese history. Mao Jiao was very surprised and said: "It turned out to be a car made of a golden car. Who has such power?"

"Who else can be, of course Xiangguo Li Yuan. Brother Mao, didn't you see that there is a Li character flag there?" Zhou Chong couldn't help shaking his head, and gave the answer.

Chunyujue was so angry, he said: "The majestic Xiangguo, who carelessly disregards human life, how decent it is, I will ask him to argue." He rushed forward and stopped on the street.

Zhou Chong stretched out his hand to pull, but he didn't hold back, and shouted: "Come back quickly, you are dying."

Chunyujue had already committed a stubbornness, so he was not willing to listen, and shouted at the oncoming motorcade: "Stop, stop for me."
