Chapter 611 611. An explanation
In this attack on the Song State, the Qi State sent a total of 300,000 troops, the samurai legion dispatched 100,000, and Qi Jie sent 200,000 people to help, attacking from the west and the north.
The Song state was isolated and helpless, and it did not have effective combat power to engage the Qi state.
And the news that the Song State was attacked reached the three kingdoms of Chu, Zhao, and Wei.
The capital of Yingdu of Chu.
King Chu mourning's health is not as good as day by day, and he is critically ill and dying, which is not alarmist, if one does not pay attention, King Chu mourning may die in the palace.
Qu Yuan looked at the King of Chu and said, "Your Majesty, the State of Qi sent an army of 300,000 and invaded the State of Song!" ”
King Chu Mourning suddenly got up from the bed: "Although the Song State is not a strong country, it is a rich land, if the Qi State gets the Song State, the national strength will definitely increase greatly, and the resources will definitely be surplus, what do the Wei States and the Zhao States plan?" ”
"The Song State is a neutral country, and at that time, our Chu State made an alliance with the surrounding countries of the Song State, and those who cut down the Song Dynasty will be punished by the princes!" King Chu Mourning looked at Qu Yuan and said.
At that time, after the merchants took power, the Sanjin Dynasty took the lead and made an alliance with the surrounding countries of the Song State, and those who cut down the Song Dynasty were punished.
Whoever goes to fight the Song State, we will fight whoever we fight together, and it is also because of this covenant that the Song State can be peaceful until now, and it has not experienced war for a hundred years.
Chu mourned Wang Jue's Qi State and Song Dynasty, which was undoubtedly inflated, and when the time came, he Chu State raised the banner of justice and united the princes of the world to destroy Qi!
Once the defeat of Qi is successful, he Chu State can rise in a short period of time and restore his prestige as the peak of Chu State, so King Chu Mourning hurry up, he wants to unite Wei State and Zhao State to attack Qi State together, so as to join in United Korea and Qin State.
Forming a five-nation alliance, the five countries are defeating, what is the ability of other Qi countries to resist?
However, Qu Yuan sighed and said: "Your Majesty, Zhao and Wei have gone to war, and Wei has lost a large amount of territory, so it is unrealistic to let Zhao give up three important granaries of Wei and join forces with us at this time!" ”
Qu Yuan sighed, this Qi State will really choose the time, fight the Song State during this time period, and fight the Song State during this time period, and the princes will not be able to form an effective coalition at all.
He could only watch the Song State being annexed by the Qi State, and he Qu Yuan sighed.
"What did you say?" King Chu Mourning was stunned, and King Chu Mourning didn't know anything about the war between Wei and Zhao.
"Why didn't I know anything about this?" King Chu Mourning looked at Qu Yuan and asked.
"Your Majesty, a few days ago, Zhao Guo wanted our Chu State to flank Wei State together, but this is the Winter War, once we participate in it, the consequences are unimaginable, and now our Chu State is rebuilding after the war, and it is not suitable to be involved in any war!" Qu Yuan looked at King Chu and said.
"As for the king, why don't you know, the king will know why when he looks at those folds in front of your bed!" Qu Yuan said lightly.
The beauty beside King Chu Mourning, on a table next to him, there are many folds, and the folds of Zhao Guo's request for help are in this.
King Chu Mourning was not in good health, body and mind, so he didn't look at these excerpts, he only asked Qu Yuan to come to him every day to report on the important things that happened.
"But isn't the war between Wei and Zhao important information for my Chu State?" King Chu Mourning looked at Qu Yuan and asked, he was a little angry that Qu Yuan didn't report this matter to him.
"Your Majesty, this is not an important matter for our Chu State, even if we know it, can we participate in it? I am a Chu southerner, and it is winter at this time, so it is not suitable to participate in the winter war, and both Zhao and Wei are biased towards northerners, so they are more suitable for fighting in winter! Qu Yuan looked at King Chu and said.
King Chu Mourning was silent, indeed he knew about this matter, and he had nothing to do but watch Zhao fight against Wei.
"Chenjue's, we should unite with Qi to carve up the Song Kingdom, now that the Qi State has won half of the Song Kingdom, if we launch a surprise attack from the south, we can at least capture the ten cities of the Song Land!" Qu Yuan looked at King Chu and said.
The Song State is a country with little combat effectiveness, although the Chu State is not suitable for the Winter War, but against the Song State, a country that has no national defense strength, he Chu State is still handy.
"It's just, do we have any reason to go to war against the Song Kingdom?" King Chu Mourning looked at Qu Yuan and said.
"I'm a Chu barbarian, what reason do you need?" Qu Yuan looked at King Chu and said.
After King Chu Mourning heard it: "Then this matter will be handed over to Qu Yuan Shangqing!" ”
"Your Majesty, don't worry, if we march fast, the Song City of the Song Kingdom may belong to our Chu State, not the Qi State!" Qu Yuan looked at King Chu and said.
Song City is the richest place in the Song State, and at the same time, the general finances of the Song State are in Song City, if the Chu State gets the Song City of the Song State, then the national strength of the Chu State can be restored by more than half in an instant.
Other cities in the Song Kingdom need time to bring huge benefits, but the Song City of the Song Kingdom is hoarding real money and silver, and it can be obtained by breaking it.
"No!" Qu Yuan retreated with a fist.
Qu Yuan left and immediately summoned Hou Weilong, the great Sima of Chu, and after Wu Qi's death, Hou Weilong took over as the great Sima of Chu.
This position was actually supposed to be succeeded by Shaohua, but Shaohua's defeat at the beginning made King Chu Mourning have a very bad impression of him, so he handed over the position of Da Sima to Wu Qi's disciple Hou Weilong.
After Hou Weilong succeeded as the Great Sima, he wanted to continue to complete his master's reform, but his ability was limited, he did not have Wu Qi's talent, so he could only watch the reform end.
However, fortunately, the central government of Chu has absolute power, although Wu Qiren died and many policies could not be implemented, but the policies set by Wu Qi when he was still being implemented.
Hou Weilong came to Qu Yuan's mansion.
"Meet Shangqing!" Hou Weilong looked at Qu Yuan and said.
When Wu Qi was there, Da Sima was the highest authority in the Chu State, but Wu Qi died, and this Qu Yuan served as Zuo Tu, Ling Yin, Xiangguo, and Da Situ were the four highest officials in the Chu State, and the official title was Shangqing.
This Hou Weilong's status cannot be compared with Qu Yuan, so many times, he Hou Weilong has to obey Qu Yuan.
"I don't know, what did Qu Shangqing call me to do?" Hou Weilong looked at Qu Yuan and asked.
"Your Majesty, I order you to lead the army to defeat the Song!" Qu Yuan said to Hou Weilong.
Hou Weilong was stunned: "This Shangqing, this was the original covenant made by the princes of the world, and those who cut down the Song Dynasty will be punished by the princes, if we cut down the Song Dynasty, I am afraid that the princes of the world will jointly attack us again, right?" ”
Hou Weilong couldn't understand why he would do such a dangerous thing if it was not good to restore the national strength of the Chu State now that it was recovering its national strength?
Could it be that he wants to swallow the Song Dynasty to restore national strength? But after swallowing the Song Dynasty, it will cause greater trouble, doesn't this Qu Yuan know?
Hou Weilong's mind was full of doubts, his eyes stared at Qu Yuan, waiting for Qu Yuan's explanation.
