Emperor Ji Zhui completely became a mascot, and everyone rallied around Luo Zhi.
"Everyone, this is an unprecedented war."
Luo Zhi said loudly: "After more than a hundred years of multiplication, the population of the Xia kingdoms has more than doubled.
At that time, the state of Qi became the overlord, with only a few hundred thousand troops, and it was the only state of ten thousand chariots in the world.
But what now?
I don’t know how many countries there are.
Chu State's 500,000 soldiers, Qin State's 300,000 soldiers, Zhao, Wei and Han's more than 300,000 soldiers, Qi State's more than 300,000 soldiers, Luo State's more than 200,000 soldiers, Wu State's 200,000 soldiers, two million people fighting, what will happen? The consequences no one knows. "
Listening to this long list of numbers, many people even felt suffocated.
"In the battle between Wu and Chu, there were a total of 400,000 people. Wu State plundered Song State's grain, armor, and weapons, and with some assistance, it was enough to cope with it."
The war between Wu and Chu was more like fighting for strategic points to prevent Chu from attacking the flanks of the Central Plains coalition forces from the land of Xuhuai.
Luo Zhi pointed at the map of Kanyu and said: "In the confrontation between the three ministers of Qin and Jin, Qin and Wei have a total of 400,000 people, Chu has 100,000 people south of Wang Ji, and Han and Zhao currently only have 250,000.
The Kingdom of Jin was in chaos, and there were still many troops in the hands of the small and medium-sized Qing clan.
Notify Han and Zhao that Guhui will send 200,000 Qiluo troops to support them, and at the same time ask them to mobilize all the young men in the territory and the troops scattered in the Jin Kingdom, so as not to let the Wei family's strength continue to grow. "
With the increase in troops from both sides, this place has actually become a major battlefield. In the war between Wang Ji and Jin, more than a million troops compete here for dangerous mountain passes.
"If Han and Zhao can make great achievements on the battlefield and defeat Qin and Wei, I will ask the emperor to make them a marquis, so that they can completely turn their family into a country."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and finally came to this step to carve up feudal clans for the Qing clan who divided the public office. But on second thought, in order to save the life of King Zhou Zhou, this was the last resort.
If Han and Zhao are pushed towards Qin and Wei, unless King Su comes to the throne, everyone here can just surrender and capture them.
Seeing everyone's demoralization, Luo Zhi said loudly: "Everyone!
The spirit of King Su is in the sky, and Bangzhou's destiny has not yet ended, and Haotian protects him.
In the past, when Duke Xuan was there, the barbarians invaded the Xia, and their destiny was in danger.
Could it be more dangerous now than before? "
…
King Ji of Luoyi in the Zhou Dynasty is the center of the current conflict. Millions of troops surround Luoyi for hundreds of miles. The bloody evil spirit soaring into the sky makes even the birds, beasts and flowers and insects dare not make a sound.
Since they had never experienced a war with such a large number of participants, both sides of the war were very cautious, but soon both sides began to improve the current war model.
The intensity of the war instantly rose to a new level, in other words, the number of casualties began to surge.
The war has completely turned into a game of cheating, and even victory at the tactical level is futile in such a big battle.
Even if a surprise attack cuts off a grain road, the grain road extends in all directions, and no one will store grain and grass in one place.
Luo Zhi himself was not a strong general. He received news from all directions, most of which were casualties and lack of food and grass.
Luo Zhi saw a deeper worry, "With all the young people in the country gathered here, the farming season in the country will definitely be delayed.
But now everyone is holding their breath, and no one dares to stop the war. "
This is the most terrifying thing now. Both sides want to defeat the other party and then eat their fill on the other party's corpse. This description is actually inappropriate.
Because there will be no winner in this war. The losing side will definitely be exhausted, and the winner will not get any benefits at all.
Luo Zhi couldn't help but recall what his great-aunt told him, "Wars between countries are bloody because of irreconcilable conflicts between them.
In a bloody battle, if one of the parties fails directly, everything will stop.
But if it falls into constant chaos and stalemate, it will lead to another ending - both sides will shed the last drop of blood, and both sides will suffer!
Military victory can never make up for the hardships of the people's livelihood in the country, and the monarch's grand ambitions cannot make the people bleed forever. Those low-level nobles and people who support the country hate war, and the war will fail.
If that day does come, you can try to drag it out. The Duke of Luo Kingdom will be the final winner after practicing the royal way for seven hundred years. "
Luo Zhi looked at the bloody numbers in his hand. In fact, there were many people of the Luo Kingdom. These sons and daughters came to the battlefield with high ambitions, saying that they wanted to repay the official's great kindness.
Luo Zhi once saw with his own eyes that a man from Luo Guo Erlang, who was about to die due to insufficient treatment, could still smile and say: "I have been greatly favored by the public since I was a child, and I repay it with my life today. King Su above the nine heavens will definitely praise me for my loyalty. "
When he died singing hymns, Luo Zhi understood the meaning of his great-aunt's eyes. How could a king who followed the law use the blood of his subjects as consumables to pave his own road? ?
"Dong dong dong."
This was the sound that soldiers wearing heavy armor would make. Luo Zhi raised his head and looked up. It was his younger brother Luo You. There was a long scar on his heroic face. Now his face was full of sadness. Luo Zhi immediately Just a thump in my heart.
Luo You ignored everyone else in the palace, walked directly in, knelt in front of Luo Zhi, and cried bitterly: "Brother, I'm sorry for you again. Ci'er died in the hands of the Qin people."
The busy people in the entire hall instantly froze on the spot, and everyone looked at each other in disbelief.
Luo Ci, the prince of Luo Kingdom.
Countless Luo Dukes and people shed their blood on the battlefield, so Luo Zhi's son naturally could not sit in Zhaocheng.
Luo Zhi's hands shook, and his eyes became moist. He looked at the casualty list in his hand again, as if he saw his son, the handsome young man, smiling at him.
He suppressed his grief and said: "Many nobles and people in Luo Kingdom died in this war. Brother, this is the pension list. I leave this matter to you."
Luo knelt down heavily on the ground again and began to cry loudly. Everyone in the hall knelt down on the ground. Luo stood up straight and walked out of the hall with a heavy figure.
The news that the prince of Luo Kingdom died in battle soon spread throughout the countries. King Chu and Xiang Cheng were silent for a long time. After a long time, Xiang Cheng said leisurely: "Your Majesty, the Xiang family will accompany you to the end and will serve you from now on." King of Chu, until the arrival of Chu people’s destiny.”
The people of Qin did not expect that they would kill the crown prince of the Luo State with their own hands, which made Uncle Qin look a little unhappy. Although he wanted to attack the Luo State, he openly killed the direct descendants of the Luo State, and even the prince of the Luo State, He doesn't want to do it yet.
Many soldiers in the Luo Kingdom cried bitterly. The special system of the Luo Kingdom's public office gave every son of the public family a high prestige. Many of the soldiers were even children of the public family who had personally received favors from Luo Ci.
Countless people wanted to repay Luo Zhi and Luo Ci's kindness, so they joined the army enthusiastically, but they never expected that such a noble man would leave before them.
Ji Zhao silently looked at a newly added statue in the Hall of Heroes. This was the youngest person to enter the Hall of Heroes. It was Luo Ci. On the base of his statue were countless figures waving weapons.
"Lingjun's evaluation of your father is indeed correct. You still have to use the Divine Artifact of Destiny. I can't bear to see you so sad and angry."
Ji Zhao walked out of the Hall of Heroes with his hands behind his back and looked at the black clouds on the horizon, which had dissipated a little bit and said, "It's true. The beginning of all the nobility of the Luo family is because of my bloodline. It was given by King Wu. The nobles of blood descendants repay it with blue blood." .
But this is not the right time, Bangzhou's destiny is still there. "
The death of Luo Ci made the war situation more tense, especially the soldiers of Luo Kingdom, who seemed to have taken medicine, and their morale became stronger and stronger.
Time passed like this, one year, two years, three years.
Both sides seemed to be tired of fighting. Over the years, the Chu State once defeated the Wu State, but was then pushed back by Luo Qi's army. Apart from leaving countless corpses on both sides, there was no progress at all.
The frontal battlefield was really terrible. In three years, more than 300,000 people died here!
When there is no winner or loser, the number of deaths is extremely shocking. These are people who died in a head-on fight.
In the fourth year, the situation of the war changed drastically. The people who died on the battlefield were nothing. After three years of bloodshed and a war that never stopped, all countries were almost unable to hold on.
In order to strengthen the determination of the Han and Zhao clans to continue the war, Luo Zhi canonized Han Cheng and Zhao Yong as princes.
However, among the countries, South Korea is already the weakest. As the armaments of all countries are tightened, it is powerless to assist South Korea.
Although Qi and Luo are rich, it is not easy to support Wu. Qi even relies on Yan to defend the north in order to fight.
Under this situation, South Korea unexpectedly became the breakthrough point for the Qin, Wei and Chu kingdoms. If Zhao and Luo had not rescued them in time, I am afraid that the newly named Han Hou would have been captured directly.
But it is an indisputable fact that South Korea has been breached. This kind of confrontational war will cause a chain reaction once any node fails.
Everyone looked unhappy. The extremely cruel war had been going on for four years, but it had ended like this. Who could accept it?
South Korea's defeat was like a scale that was maintaining balance. Suddenly a small weight was taken away. Although it was tiny, the balance tipped irreversibly in the other direction.
Qin Chu saw the dawn of victory and began to go completely crazy. The already routine battlefield was once again covered in blood and flesh.
Countless limbs and broken arms, heads that were cut off directly, arrows inserted from the pupils, and countless corpses fell in the wilderness.
Qin and Chu were advancing, and Qi Luo tried to make up for the gap caused by South Korea and give the South Korean army time to reorganize, but Chu State immediately began to attack fiercely in the other direction.
In the direction of the Wu State, once Qi Luo stops assisting, he will immediately be oppressed by the Chu State.
When the armies of Qi and Zhao were encircled, with nearly half of Zhao's casualties and most of Qi's casualties, everyone knew that the situation was over.
The Chu army defeated the Wu army again, and the Wu army, the Qi army, and the Luo army retreated from Zheng towards Wang Ji.
Wei Qing laughed wildly, "Victory first does not count as victory. Among the three ministers of Jin, I am the one who has the last laugh."
Uncle Qin and King Chu laughed at each other and said, "Step into Wang Ji and enter Luoyi!"
That night, a Luo family envoy came to the camps of Qin and Chu respectively. The faces of the kings of Qin and Chu were uncertain.
In Luoyi City, Luo Zhi sat on the altar, offering sacrifices to King Haotian Su in the eyes of countless people.
“King Su’s spirit is in the sky, and Bang Zhou’s destiny lasts for tens of thousands of years!”
Countless people knelt on the ground like a tide with their last hope, hoping that King Su would show mercy and protect them.
The sky is bright and clear, and thousands of people in Luoyi City are praising the saint.
Snow fell.
fell to the ground.
Mixed with bright red blood.
Very dazzling.
…
During the five-year Zhuxia War, the Ji Jiang Alliance headed by Qi Luo and the Qin Chu Alliance fought to the death on three battlefields. The Qin Chu Alliance won a decisive victory and completely destroyed the foundation on which the Zhou Dynasty relied for its survival.
This war brought huge disasters to the participating countries, causing the death of no less than 6 million people. The population growth in the past hundred years has almost disappeared, especially the loss of young and strong labor, which has had a negative impact on social productivity. caused huge damage. ——"The Rise and Fall of the Zhou Dynasty"
