356 The tacit understanding of fate (for the water friend ~ the lord ~ ??1/5)
In Luoyi, in front of the "World Chessboard", a group of officials and nobles looked at the hung map with strange expressions.
Many, many years ago, if you dared to hang a map on Emperor Zhou's territory, it would be a dead end.
But now, Emperor Niao Zhou has only one out of ten people, so he can hang out maps... at least he can earn some living expenses.
"The king of Wu conquered Yue"
"No. It's not about defeating Yue, it's about destroying Yue."
"The war to destroy the country will definitely be protracted!"
"The more it is a weak country, how can the Wu Kingdom be easily destroyed?"
In front of the huge map, everyone seemed to be discussing King Wu's pledge to destroy Yue, but in fact, they turned a blind eye to another matter and remained silent.
On the map, there are two very obvious signs, the "Four Rivers" are marked. The overlords from all over the world have developed and grown around these "Four Rivers", especially Jin, Chu, Qi, Wu
For the most.
Only this time, Wu's "territory" was like a coin, like a shovel, shoveling towards Jianghuai.
It was agreed that the war would be fought to destroy Vietnam, but in the end Cai's capital, Xincai, was captured.
At this time, there are many Luoyi scholar-bureaucrats who know that Zheng and Cai have formed an alliance in Chengying and joined forces in Shangcai.
The elites are also really curious. Ever since Li Jie came out, or in other words, ever since Li Jie became famous among the princes, he has never said he would not fight.
But the barbarians of Wu State are really powerful. They have defeated powerful enemies in a row. Now, they are even more dominant in Huaishang. The weak ones in Huaishang are maidservants. Cai, Sui, Tang, and Xi are like concubines.
He takes everything he wants, and even Chu can't compete with him.
A lot of news has spread from Fangcheng of Chu State to China. Luoyi was particularly shocked that after Li Jie defeated the Dou clan in Bai Ju, he also led to the execution of Dou clan's "Arrow-bearing Scholar".
Charge: meddling in affairs without permission.
The person who killed the fighting master: the Queen Mother of Chu.
Li Jie's defeat of Dou Shi may not be as important to Li Jie as the Queen Mother of Chu.
The elites in Luoyi knew very well that Li Jie, the fierce man of the Wu Kingdom, Jiang Yinzi, might be used as a tool by the Queen Mother of the Chu Kingdom this time.
However, the result is perfect for both parties.
The only one who suffered heavy losses was the Dou clan, to be more precise, the Bai Ju Dou clan, one of the Dou clans of Chu State.
The entire influence of the Bai Ju Dou clan in the eastern region of Chu State plummeted with the killing of Dou Shi. Chu State's garrison in the eastern region, the proportion of the Bai Ju Dou clan was directly cut in half, and even Bai Ju Ling was no longer
Bai Judou took office.
At this moment, the chief military officer guarding Xiguan on the south side of the Dabie Mountains is a doctor from the capital of Ying of Chu State. The chief officer who is responsible for the logistics of Xiguan is the new Bai Juling, Zuo Tu of Yingdu who was recently promoted by the Queen Mother.
The former's original identity, or main job, was to lead the people to protect the king's safety.
The latter was Ling Yin's direct subordinate. Some internal affairs that were inconvenient for Ling Yin to handle were left to Zuo Tu to handle.
With these two senior bureaucrats promoted by the Queen Mother of Chu, the entire Dabie Mountains area in eastern Chu has changed.
Just the death of one fighting master will not change the situation. After all, the Baiju Dou clan has a large population. However, because the fighting master was defeated by Li Jie, Li Jie took advantage of the situation and sent an envoy to Xiguan and Lingguan. In one sentence: pay compensation!
At that time, Li Jie just stopped by and played two shots if there were dates or not. What if there were dates?
Besides, eating meat after winning the battle is a matter of course.
Unless the Chu State really wants to fight with him, the Central Committee of the Chu State definitely does not want to fight with Li Jie in the Jianghuai and Dabie Mountains. In addition, Sui Guo has completely sided with Li Jie. The pressure from the Chu State is so great that in fact
It's unprecedented.
Once the situation collapsed, Li Jie went crazy and cooperated with the weak Jianghuai and Sui and Tang states to directly destroy the Chu state east of the Han River. It was not difficult at all.
I won’t mention whether there are any benefits, but the destruction efficiency is definitely high enough.
Chu State has been running Yunmengze for hundreds of years, not just to wait for the day when Li Jie comes to blow shit up.
I don’t know if it was a tacit understanding or fate, but anyway, the Queen Mother of Chu first killed the "Arrow-bearing Warrior" fighter, and then immediately negotiated peace with Li Jie's envoy, during which she also agreed to compensate.
At the same time, it was repeatedly emphasized that Chu State was not willing to conflict with Wu State. The previous "Battle of Hengshan" was due to Bai Judou's unauthorized actions.
As for Li Jie's three battles and three victories in conquering three Jianghuai border towns in Chu State, he never mentioned it.
The water here...is a bit deep.
"The Queen Mother of Chu is truly a strange person."
In front of the "Chessboard of the World", an old doctor lamented like this, "It's impossible not to lament. It's painful and difficult for other countries to cut off their powerful ministers."
Why is Chu State so successful?
It can even be said that when the Queen Mother of the Chu State needed help the most, but her natal Jin State was of no use at all, a barbarian from the Wu State appeared and swept all the way, beating all the demons and monsters, crying for father and mother, and finally even Chu
The homes of powerful officials were all destroyed.
It can be seen that the historical process is also very important.
The current situation in Chu State under the control of the Queen Mother of Chu State is actually much better than when the previous king was in power. She betrayed a Baiju Dou family and lost the territory north of the Dabie Mountains, but she consolidated her own power and at the same time strengthened the power of Chu State.
central authority.
Gains and losses are really difficult to explain clearly.
The prosperity of the border towns of Chu State was indeed beneficial to Chu State, but it was during the expansion period. After suffering repeated blows from Wu State, not only did it not increase the tax revenue of the central government of Chu State, but it became a burden. Do not maintain it.
Military presence also has to bear the pressure of existence.
Now, my whole body feels relaxed, as if my constipation for many years has been cured!
"How do you think Chu will behave in this situation?"
"I heard that those who visited Yingdu have passed the Western Pass carrying 12,000 cypresses."
"..."
Some people suddenly become disdainful, how to behave? Act like shit.
If they were the Queen Mother of Chu State, they would have to settle their affairs first. If they didn't seize the time to consolidate the authority of the central government, could they wait for the Dou family to recover and counterattack? Isn't this a joke?
The Queen Mother of Chu did not disappoint. She killed Dou Shi, the leader of the Dou clan's "Martial Arts Sect", and naturally she became a mortal enemy of the Baiju Dou clan. Even if she didn't say it, she must have thought so in her heart.
The king and his ministers are jealous, and the result is doomed.
In order to prepare for the future, the Queen Mother of Chu State did not hesitate to sell the Bai Ju Dou family for 12,000 Ding, which was almost the essence of the Bai Ju Dou family.
Empty it directly and pack it up to compensate Li Jie. As for what Li Jie will do with it, what does it have to do with her as a woman?
She was just taking care of her son and taking care of the affairs of Chu State. She couldn't be the only woman to do everything with.
She is not the king of Chu!
"In this case, Li Jie must be short of food!"
"Zheng and Cai formed an alliance and claimed to have an army of 200,000. Even if Li Jie is brave and good at fighting, his troops are tired from long battles and may not be able to deal with them."
"I heard that Li Jie has dug ditches and ditches in Xincai."
"..."
"..."
For a moment, everyone suddenly felt that this painting style was quite familiar.
How did you become addicted to digging trenches? These days, people who dig something before going to war seem to be Li Jie, a wild man from Wu State.
"Imitate the wisdom of the Battle of Biyang?"
"Not impossible!"
"Li Jie's current crisis situation is no better than that of Biyang Kingdom."
Someone looked at the map and said solemnly, "At this time, Li Jie is alone outside. The people in Huaishang, who are not from Wu or Fu, will not be able to sincerely help. This is said to have no foundation."
While the nobles and nobles of Luoyi were talking loudly in front of the "World Chessboard", Commissioner Li issued an announcement to all the workers in Xincai: Anyone who works for a full month will be rewarded with a piece of white sand and linen cloth.
