Chapter 211 Chu is in trouble at home, and Wei Jiu, a strong man, cuts off his wrist to lure the wolf!
King Chu couldn't help but ask: "What good opportunity?"
Wei Jiu responded solemnly: "What a good opportunity to expand the territory!"
"The Qin army is outnumbered, and I However, the cities of Wei are still holding strong. With Qin's military strength, how long will it take to take over all Wei territory? "
"If Chu sends troops first before Qin does, can it take over all Wei before Qin does? National territory? ”
In the Shouchun Palace, many courtiers could not help but express their emotions and whispered:
"This makes sense! If the Qin army does not number in the tens of thousands, how can it take the entire territory of Wei?"
" Even if the Qin army takes the entire territory of Wei, they can't hold it with only tens of thousands of troops!"
"But the commander of the Qin army is the Lord of Chang'an!"
"What about the Lord of Chang'an? With tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, how can we compete with our great Chu!”
The current internal situation in Chu State is in a mess.
It is still unclear who will rule the Chu State in the future.
Where Chu will go in the future may not necessarily have anything to do with them.
So no one force is interested in the external environment, and they are all focused on internal fighting.
But Wei Jiu gave them a pie that they couldn't refuse.
A blessed land at your fingertips!
Wei Jia, however, shouted angrily: "Brother Jiu, don't talk nonsense!"
"My father is still leading his army to resist, and we, the Wei Dynasty, are not dead yet!"
We are here for help!
Not here to lure wolves into the house!
And how can you curse me that the Wei Dynasty has perished?
Wei Jia can't bear it!
Wei Jiu responded in a low voice sincerely: "Brother, believe me!"
After saying this, Wei Jiu continued to speak loudly: "Everyone knows that the only powerful countries in the world are Qin and Chu."
“Now that the State of Zhao has sent heavy troops to fight Qin, the State of Qin is unable to mobilize troops to reinforce Lord Chang’an’s troops.”
"If Chu sends troops, he can at least capture all of Wei, and possibly even Han, and push Qin back to Hangu Pass!"
"The sacred lands outside the pass will all belong to Chu."
“The only people standing in front of the Chu State are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under the command of Lord Chang’an.”
“Is the State of Chu afraid of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses led by Lord Chang’an? ! ”
Luring them with profit, and then supplementing them with provocation.
After saying these words, Mo Ao Jingchou, General Zhaoyuan and other generals immediately came out and handed over their hands:
"The last general invites you to fight!"
Li Yuan said with emotion: "How has my great Chu ever done this? Afraid of Qin?”
“It’s just that our army is exhausted after the war and needs to recuperate.”
“Now I, the Chu, are willing to help Wei. Chu is also powerless!”
After finishing speaking, Li Yuan looked at Jingchou and other generals.
However, this time, they stopped talking.
Wei Jiu said flatly: "Foreign ministers also know that the Chu country is in difficulty."
"However, doesn't the King of Chu hear that 'the enemy cannot be false, and the time cannot be lost'?"
>
“The ambition of Qin’s wolf is obvious, and he will not give Chu the time to cultivate.”
"Qin may send troops to the entire Wei region at any time, and may even withdraw troops from Zhao to reinforce Chang'an Jun's troops."
"Now is Chu's best opportunity, and one of the few!"< br>
“Once the Qin State swallows up our territory of Wei, Chu will only be left with a more powerful enemy!”
“At that time, there will no longer be a union between Han, Wei and Chu. Even if we have to resist Qin, we can only resist this powerful enemy by ourselves."
Li Yuan smiled: "Ning Lingjun does not need to be so pessimistic."
"As the Crown Prince of Wei said, perhaps the King of Wei is still leading the people to resist."
Wei Jiu said calmly: "The foreign minister does not think that the father can hold on for how long."
< br>“No one but Wei can resist Qin’s military attack.”
“As for whether to believe the judgment of foreign ministers, it is up to the King of Chu and Li Lingyin to decide!”
Li Yuan looked at the King of Chu King Chu Jian nodded slightly: "No one knows what Lord Ningling means."
"I will discuss it carefully with all my beloved ministers."
"Dazai (diplomatic officer) Qu He will take the Prince of Wei and all the Wei ministers to Zhanghuatai to rest."
Qu He immediately stepped out of the queue and held up his hands: "Wei!"
Qu He then gave Wei a fake smile and held up his hands: "Prince Wei, please!"
Wei Jiu forced a smile and followed Qu He out. To Shouchun Palace.
Along the way, Wei Jia said nothing.
It was not until he entered the main hall of Zhanghuatai and bid farewell to Qu He that Wei Jiu shouted angrily: "Brother Jiu, how can you curse your father and me, the great Wei Dynasty!"
Wei Jiu said sincerely : "Brother, my loyalty to my father and the Wei Dynasty is no less than yours!"
"I am doing this for the sake of my Wei Dynasty!"
Wei Jiu did not He answered Wei Jia's question directly, but first expressed his attitude, and then asked: "Brother, have you ever noticed anything wrong since you entered Chu?"
Wei Jie suppressed his anger and frowned in thought.
After a while, Wei Jie said slowly: "Shouchun City is heavily guarded, and you and I saw many soldiers mobilizing on the way to Chu. It seems that Qin is not attacking Zhao Wei this time, but attacking Chu. "
"In the court hall, the King of Chu was silent, Ling Yin was talkative, and Mo Ao, Dazai and other important ministers had difficulty communicating with Ling Yin."
Wei Jiu nodded lightly: " Last year, King Kaolie of Chu died, and on the same day, Lord Chun Shen died. "
"My brother heard rumors that on the day of King Kaolie of Chu's death, Li Yuan sent assassins to ambush Lord Chun Shen at Thorn Gate. Immediately upon entering the palace, he ambushed and killed Lord Chun Shen.”
"After Lord Chun Shen died, Li Yuan threatened Chu King Han with swords and used his identity as Chu King Han's uncle to occupy the position of Ling Yin."
Wei Jia frowned subconsciously: "Really?"
"Was Chun Shenjun killed by Li Yuan or by the big family?"
The internal power struggle in Wei State is not as good as that in South Korea, but as the prince of Wei State, Wei Guo Fake was also trained by Wei Zeng since he was a child on how to deal with issues between the DPRK and China.
The first time he heard this rumor, Wei Jia felt something was wrong!
Ling Yin does have huge power, but the problem is that power is both top-down and bottom-up.
If Li Yuan is really as rumored, he assassinated Lord Chun Shen through several assassins and then took King Han of Chu hostage to gain the position of Ling Yin.
Li Yuan could not gain power from the top down through King Han of Chu, nor could he gain power from the bottom up through the support of the lower levels.
Even if King Han of Chu really had to agree to Li Yuan's appointment as Ling Yin due to the threat to his life, how could Li Yuan survive until now?
Is it just those assassins?
Isn't this a joke?
Wei Jiu shook his head: "I don't know whether this rumor is true or false."
"But this rumor has spread widely in the Chu State. I, the traveler of Wei Dynasty stationed in Chu, got it. This is the only news." Wei Jie was silent for a moment and chuckled: "I think he is just another victim after Wu Qi and Qu Yuan."
All countries have reforms. Only the Chu State was the least thorough.
In the sixteenth year of King Chu's mourning, King Chu's mourning supported Wu Qi and launched the first reform in Chu State against the nobles of Chu State.
The old clans of Chu State directly used the palace officials to poison King Chu Mourning.
In the 21st year of King Chu's mourning, King Chu's mourning died. Wu Qi was also shot by Chu nobles in the mourning hall of King Chu's mourning. Chu's first reform failed.
In the twelfth year of King Huai of Chu, King Chu Huai unconditionally supported Qu Yuan and launched the second round of reforms.
But unfortunately, Qu Yuan's reform came to an abrupt end as King Huai of Chu was captured and imprisoned by Qin.
The two kings of Chu and two great talents tried their best to save the country, but they all failed halfway.
It failed to bring any changes to the Chu State, and its only contribution was to leave the Dragon Boat Festival as a legal holiday for future generations.
Look at Chun Shenjun again.
Although Chun Shenjun did not initiate fundamental reforms, he gradually eroded the power of the old nobles of Chu by supporting retainers and recommending foreign guests to the court, in an attempt to carry out a peaceful evolution from the court to the local government. .
After the Chu nobles first shot Wu Qi and then exiled Qu Yuan, could they let Chun Shen go?
Wei Jiu nodded slightly: "The cause of Chun Shen Jun's death is just my brother's guess."
"But after Chun Shen Jun's death, Li Lingyin inherited nearly half of Chun Shen Jun's guests and recruited just like Chun Shen Jun. More retainers recommended foreigners to join the court as officials. "Now Li Yuan's position is not stable." But Li Lingyin can't mobilize Chu's troops?"
"That's why I lured him with benefits!"
Wei Jiu sighed softly: "I also know that this action of my brother is just to lure the wolf into the house."
"I don't want to do this!"
"But given the current situation of the Chu State, either with heavy military power or Pressure, or tempting with heavy profits, otherwise the Chu State will not be able to send troops to rescue our great Wei!"
After being silent for a long time, Wei Ji sighed with regret: "Why can't King Chu Kaolie persist for a few more years?"
“If King Chu Kaolie and Lord Chun Shen are still in charge of Chu’s government, why would you and I end up like this?”
"God, please help me, Wei!"
......
On the other side, Shouchun Palace seemed to have turned into a vegetable market.
"It was as strong as Wei, but it fell!"
"After Han, Wei fell again. Qin destroyed it in both battles. In both battles, Chang'an Lord led the army. Chang'an You must be my greatest enemy!”
"The fall of Wei will also worry me as a great Chu!"
"This is definitely a great opportunity for me as a great Chu to open up and expand its territory. We must not miss it!"
"Your Majesty, Send troops!"
Li Yuanan sat on the high platform and asked in a deep voice: "Send troops?"
"Where will the troops come from?"
Jingchou immediately said: "We, the great Chu, have 60,000 regular troops and 30,000 county troops to assist them, so we can fight Qin!"
Li Yuan smiled and nodded: "Good!"
"In that case, please ask Jing Mo Ao to lead the main army and the county soldiers to go out and capture all the Wei lands!"
"If not..." Li Yuan said solemnly: "Depose on the basis of guilt!"
Jingchou was speechless.
Li Yuan looked at the courtiers and generals again: "If anyone asks himself that he can defeat Lord Chang'an of Qin with this military force, he can ask for a fight!" Xiang Yan, the Shangzhu State of Chu State, is in the first row under the high platform.
Facing the attention of everyone, Xiang Yan said cautiously: "The Chang'an Lord of Qin has not been in the army for a long time, so it is difficult to judge his military strategy."
"But this man's military tactics are in harmony with each other. , and there are often new weapons used, which are definitely not mediocre.”
“The last general dare not say that he will win!”
Even if Xiang Yan was sure of victory, he would not say anything.
Because Xiang Yan knows very well that the key to the current problem is not the odds of winning at all!
Li Yuan smiled happily: "Since even the Shangzhu Kingdom thinks that there is no guarantee of victory, it would be better for me, the Great Chu, not to interfere in this battle."
"Comrades, if you don't If you have other things to do, just retreat from the court."
Jingchou, Zhaoyuan and others couldn't help but ponder.
Finally, Jingchou cupped his hands and said, "Jing's food town has a lot of grain production this year."
"Now is a rare opportunity for our great Chu. How can the last general see that our great Chu is losing strength due to its military strength?" Are you just sitting back and waiting for the good opportunity to slip away?”
“The general is willing to send 70,000 private soldiers to join the war!”
Zhao Yuan and other representatives of the major clans also stepped forward and offered their hands: “The Zhao family We are willing to send 60,000 private soldiers to fight!”
“Qu is willing to send 40,000 private soldiers to fight!”
"Doushi..."
With the voices of more than a dozen nobles, the number of troops that Chu State could mobilize surged from 90,000 to 350,000 in the blink of an eye!
Li Yuan nodded happily: "Since we have more than 300,000 troops, our great Chu can fight Qin."
"Your Majesty, I advise you that the land gained from this battle will be Thirty percent should be awarded to all the princes to reward them for their merits!"
King Chu Han nodded lightly: "What your commander said makes sense!"
Straightening his back, the King of Chu said in a deep voice: "Order!"
"Shangzhu State Yan is the commander-in-chief, leading 350,000 troops to send troops to Wei."
"This is Thirty percent of the territory gained from the battle will be used as a reward to reward meritorious ministers!"
Explanation of the life experience of Chu King Han and the death of Chun Shenjun.
This book sets up that King Han of Chu is the biological son of King Kaolie of Chu.
According to records in "Historical Records: Biography of Chun Shenjun" and "Warring States Policy", King Chu Kaolie was infertile, so Li Yuan married his sister Li Huan to Chun Shenjun, and then gave her to Chu Kaolie after Li Huan became pregnant. King Lie, and then Li Huan gave birth to King Chu You Xiong Han, that is, the biological father of King Chu You Xiong Han was actually Chun Shenjun. This view is very interesting, and it is also the mainstream view in current public perception.
But Cheese did not adopt this view for the following reasons:
1. It is recorded in "Historical Records: The Family of Chu": "King You died, and his brother Yudai, who was the same mother, was named King Ai. . It had been more than two months since King Ai had been established. The disciples of King Ai's concubine Fu Chu attacked and killed King Ai and established Fu Chu as king. 'That is, according to the "Historical Records of the Chu Family" written by Tai Shigong, King Kaolie of Chu had at least two sons, Xiong You and Xiong Fuchu, and King Chu Kaolie was not born to Li Huan. On the issue of life experience, Tai Shigong appeared inconsistent.
Based on Professor Li Kaiyuan's "Historical Relics of the Last King of Chu" and modern archaeological results, it is found that Xiong Qi, the Changping Lord of the Qin State, was probably also the son of King Kaolie of Chu (still controversial).
Combining the above two points, King Chu Kaolie had at least three and possibly four sons, and at least two women gave birth to heirs for King Chu Kaolie. This shows that unless King Chu Kaolie has special hobbies, He likes to take orders from Chun Shenjun one after another, and even plays with Chun Shenjun. Otherwise, King Chu Kaolie should be fertile, and Xiong Han should be the son of King Chu Kaolie.
