When news of South Korea's brazen invasion of the royal family spread to the Luo Kingdom, the Luo people showed no reaction. Only the Confucian scholars were furious, and even once again shouted out what Confucius said hundreds of years ago: "It is tolerable, but who is intolerable?"
But the reason why the Confucian scholars were dissatisfied was very strange. Ji Ni, the emperor of Zhou, was famous all over the world for his extortionate expropriations on the land of the Song Dynasty. Although the Song people were the main purveyors of jokes, there was no doubt about their identity as people of the Xia Dynasty.
In the eyes of Confucian scholars, Ji Ni was a tyrant, and the princes were qualified to attack him.
However, Confucian scholars believe that the reasons for South Korea's declaration of war are too perfunctory and insufficient to serve as a basis for punishing the people and punishing violence.
Lotze and Luo Li looked at the news in their hands and looked at each other speechlessly.
If it were before, without saying a word, South Korea would definitely be killed.
But now, Luo Li sighed and said: "Father, Emperor Zhou Ji hides in the Song Dynasty and conscripts violently, making the Song Dynasty angry and resentful. For such a shameful thing, it is impossible for the Luo Kingdom to send troops for the royal family for any reason.
It is impossible for Luo people to bleed for the royal family anymore.
Since South Korea has found a reason to send troops, it can just reprimand the Marquis of Han for being disrespectful to the emperor. The only thing they worry about is that after South Korea's two attacks on the royal family, the Central Plains countries will completely let go of their scruples.
You know, just like a river dam that is said to be indestructible, the passing of time can only leave a tiny crack. But the moment the crack appears, the river dam that has stood for thousands of years will collapse in just a few years. It collapsed suddenly. "
A thousand-mile embankment collapsed in an ant nest.
Compared to Luo Li who sighed with emotion, Luo Ce's demeanor was more peaceful. The thoughts of the Luo clan's successive family heads did not come from the same line. Some, like Duke Xiang, were extremely rare benevolent monarchs.
Compared with the monarchs of other countries, Luo Ce was naturally quite benevolent, but among the previous family heads of the Luo family, he was the one who believed in Taoism and was not very concerned about the Zhou royal family.
His attitude towards the royal family is that he hopes that the royal family can survive as much as possible and maintain the banner of Emperor Zhou.
He put the bamboo slip down casually and said calmly: "Bangzhou's destiny now only exists in the human heart. This is a habit formed over more than 800 years.
But in fact, Haotian no longer favors Bangzhou, and the foundation of Bangzhou's rule has basically been lost.
Bangzhou could only lower his eyes and wait for the destruction to come. South Korea had just torn away this false veil.
Li'er, Luo Shi has endless resources, but fewer and fewer of them can be used on Bangzhou, so it is very important to choose the right time to take action. "
Luo Li asked with some confusion: "Father, what does the right time mean?"
While teaching Luo Li, Luo Ze explained: "In the history of the Luo family, Duke Wen once used the lowest level artifact of destiny, a glass of frozen wine, which was able to scare Xiong Dun away.
When it came time to announce the Duke's reign, Liuyuexue was used before the war to confirm the survival of the state's destiny, because the royal family would surely win.
When it came time to defeat Duke Min, they could only use June Feishuang to forcefully end the war and maintain a decent ending when the war was already decided.
Is this just a difference in the strength of the artifact? In fact, the situation in the world has changed.
Now South Korea is attacking the royal family because South Korea has reached the time when the country is overthrown.
Just like a person who is about to starve to death, but you want him to abide by morality, this is immoral.
Trying to stop South Korea at this time is like trying to prevent a flash flood with only a meager manpower. It is a fool's errand.
The incident in South Korea cannot be stopped, but Rockwell has room to maneuver with regard to the possible serious consequences caused by South Korea. "
Luo Li understood that the current move against South Korea was doomed to fail and would only waste Luo's political prestige.
But in the political chaos that will arise later, there is room for flexible negotiation, and that will be the time for Luo to show off his talents.
…
Chu State has always been a powerful country, but after the political reform, this situation was reversed.
Among the major powers, the power of the old aristocracy in Chu State was so huge that other countries could hardly imagine it.
The opportunity for reform that the head of the Xiang family used his life to win did make the Chu country temporarily strong, especially in terms of military affairs. In the past, the number of Wei soldiers' thirty thousand to three hundred thousand soldiers will basically never happen again.
However, with the passing of two consecutive generations of kings, the old aristocratic forces of Chu State quickly counterattacked, demanding the abolition of those reforms. Faced with reality, the Xiang family finally reached a compromise on behalf of the royal family.
The Chu State is still a country with many nobles and nobles, and many lords. A few changes in the military system cannot change the country's background. With the collision over the years, the label of being big but not strong has gradually been assigned to the Chu State. on the body.
Qi is really strong now!
Whether it is attacking Wei or now Chu, it is really overwhelming.
After repelling the Chu State again and chasing them all the way, Guan Chenglin, now the number one general in the Qi State, sighed: "Among all the countries in the world, is there anyone more powerful than the Qi State?
Among all the powerful soldiers in the world, is there anyone who can surpass martial arts warriors?
Qi State had been fighting for hundreds of years to defeat Duke Huan, but it was finally achieved. "
Chu State never thought that it would fail when facing a Central Plains country alone. This was like a bolt from the blue, shocking the entire Chu State's nobles speechless.
In the capital of Ying, the face of the King of Chu was very ugly. Failures continued to come from the front line, followed by blame-shifting in the Chu court.
The angry King of Chu roared loudly: "The army is retreating steadily, is no one responsible?
The state of Wu was extremely weak, and the army faced only the state of Qi. In the past, the state of Chu was not afraid of war with the entire Central Plains, but now it was just facing the state of Qi, and it was like this.
Isn't this your incompetence? "
The head of the Xiang family is sitting on his knees in the main hall with his eyes closed and meditating. The Xiang family is now the mascot. Basically, the military and political power is in the hands of the Duke of Chu.
Qu Yun, the head of the Qu family, was the commander, so he naturally wanted to speak out. He immediately said to the King of Chu: "Your Majesty, the army is the elite soldiers of the royal family and various nobles. Before the war, each family enthusiastically contributed money and food. .
The reason for the continuous defeats now is naturally because of the incompetence of Lord Changsheng. I ask the king to kill him according to the tradition of Chu State, to frighten the generals on the front line, and then send generals from the country to defeat Qi State. "
As a general in charge of the battle, he could not escape responsibility for the defeat, but there was a moment of stasis in the court of Chu State.
Because Lord Changsheng was the younger brother of King Chu, Qu Yun now openly placed all the blame on Lord Changsheng.
It can be called audacious.
Lord Changsheng was one of King Chu's arms, so Qu Yun naturally knew that King Chu could not deal with Lord Changsheng.
But this is the effect he wants to achieve. If you don't even deal with the generals, how can you deal with the people below who obey orders?
King Chu was almost furious. He stared at Qu Yun fiercely, but was speechless.
In the past, when he ascended the throne, he also relied on the power of the Qu family. Now it is really difficult to get rid of the power of the old nobles like the Qu family.
The King of Chu left the hall angrily, and the Chu ministers left one after another, once again defeating the King of Chu's intentions, which made these old nobles quite proud.
This is the current state of Chu, with constant internal strife and internal strife, and the decadent aristocracy controlling everything, living in a state of intoxication.
Qin and Chu, the allies who created the "goodness of Qin and Chu", went to two extremes respectively.
Xiang Xi, the head of the Xiang family, walked into the palace in the evening. King Chu rushed to greet him, took Xiang Xi's hand and sighed: "Xiang Qing, you are finally here. All the ministers in the court, you are the only one who can hold the sky." The pillar.
It's a pity that you don't have much power. Otherwise, how could Chu State have come to this point? "
Xiang Xi's expression also sighed slightly, but he knew that the current state of Chu was difficult to change, so he could only take advantage of the situation and said: "Your Majesty, I understand what you mean.
But the general trend cannot be changed. You still have to face reality and deal with the war with Qi first.
For the current plan, my suggestion is to show the enemy's weakness. Qi's momentum is at its peak. Our army is indeed no match. If we continue to fight like this, the consequences will be unpredictable.
The appearance of Qi State on the battlefield of Wu and Chu was an accident. It was an unexpected outcome that the kings and ministers of Wu State were so shameless that they directly sacrificed their country in order to survive.
The State of Qi originally did not want to get involved here. If our army pretended to be defeated and gave up annexing the State of Wu, the State of Qi would surely return to the Central Plains impatiently.
Now that Wei dominates the Central Plains, weakening Wei is the real purpose of Qi, and the battlefield between Zhao, Wei and Han is what Qi really wants to participate in.
Regardless of the outcome between Qi Han and Zhao Wei, Chu can once again accumulate strength.
Moreover, the State of Yan is undergoing a reform. When the State of Yan completes the reform, it will have no choice but to go south to attack Qi. Then will be the opportunity for the State of Chu.
If we could contact Zhao Weiyan to attack Qi, wouldn't we be victorious?
If the strength of Qi State is weakened, what will happen even if Wu State offers its territory now?
Can we still keep the land south of Huaisi? "
Xiang Xi explained the current situation to the King of Chu in detail. It was clear and well-founded. This strategy could not only solve Chu's current embarrassing situation, but also guide Chu's situation for at least twenty years in the future.
The more King Chu listened, the more the light shone in his eyes. He held Xiang Xi's hand without letting go. Thinking of the ministers in the court, he sighed: "Xiang Qing, you are really a great talent. You are worthy of being the first of the Xiang family." Man, if you were the commander of the Chu State, wouldn’t the Chu State prosper?
How could there be today's failure? "
Xiang Xi took the opportunity to say something that he had been thinking about for a long time: "Your Majesty, the eastern kingdoms are currently at war, and only Qin is making changes in the western frontier to become stronger. It will definitely be a serious problem in the future.
Now all the countries believe in King Haotiansu, and the state of Chu has the supreme god Taiyi. This cannot be changed.
But the blood of King Su also flows in your body. I suggest that you build a large number of statues of King Su in Chu State.
In this way, Qin became an outlier among other countries, and could even use this to attack Qin in the future. "
The king of Chu readily agreed.
