Chapter 793: Journey to the Sea
Qin and Chu have always been intermarried alliance states, especially after the 18th Route Princes invaded Chu Shen Baoxu to envoy Qin during the reign of King Chu Ping, Qin became more and more closely related to Chu in order to balance Qi.
Later, Lu Di ascended the throne and became king, and the state of Chu was beaten by the state of Qi to withdraw from the land of Jing Chu, and its power shrank to the Bayu region with high mountains and deep forests, in order to prevent the state of Chu from being destroyed, at the invitation of the princess Meng Ying of the Empress Dowager of Chu, the princess of the state of Qin, the state of Qin sent troops to confront the state of Qi Wudang Mountain, at that moment, the relationship between the two countries was even more intimate to the point of wearing a pair of pants.
After the Qin State completely eliminated the Qiang rebellion five years ago, it launched a war against the Wei State by taking advantage of the Han and Zhao Civil War.
Based on the obligations of the allies, the state of Chu sent a large army to the north, and the only way to go through the northern expedition was Lu Hun Rong's territory, Lu Hun Rong thought that Chu wanted to take the opportunity to annex his territory, so the two regions would naturally go to war without declaring war.
What about Shu? When he saw Qin, Chu, Wei, Lu, and Hun Rong fighting together, he wanted to take the opportunity to seize the land of the surrounding forces, but he was very hesitant and didn't know who to take.
After all, if you choose to seize the territory of the Chu people in the east, you will have to face the soldiers of the Qi people, and for the Qi people, the Shu people have a natural sense of fear, because the enlightened king of the Shu country, the Red Emperor, died in the hands of the Qi people.
But if you go north, together with the people of Chu, destroy Lu Hun Rong and seize Lu Hun Rong's territory, it is good, but the two major countries of Chu and Shu went to carve up Lu Hun Rong's territory, and after a hard battle, the land obtained was outside the local territory under their control, because of the relationship between Chu State, it was difficult for them to control the actual control of that land. What's more, once Lu Hun Rong is taken, it means that he has one more enemy, the Wei State. It's a bit of a headache.
Another option to go north is to go out of Qishan and attack Qindi. The advantage of attacking Qin is that the main forces of the Qin people are now east of the Great River and are fighting against the Wei people, and they can quickly take Qin by sending troops at this time, and they will get the support of Wei and Lu Hunrong.
Just in this way, he offended the Chu State, and the Qin State was angry, if he made peace with the Wei State and withdrew his troops, transferred the main force back, and had a general battle with himself in Qinchuan, then he would have to face the joint attack of the Chu and Qin people alone. Can you take it like this?
So Shu was very hesitant at the beginning, he didn't know which one to choose, so he could only ask the Divine Tree to pray for guidance, and the Divine Tree gave her guidance and went out of Qishan.
Shu sent troops to first cut off the back road of the Qin army entrenched in the ancient Ankang Basin, and then sent troops to Ankang, and took the land of Ankang with lightning speed.
Qin saw that Shu sent troops, and the whole country was shaken, but in the end, the Qin court gritted its teeth and did not let the Qin army that fought in Wangwushan withdraw to Qin, but urgently mobilized the whole country to recruit troops to deal with the Shu people, and at the same time sent a letter to Chu State, let Chu State go west, start a war against Shu State, and Qin Chu will divide half of the land obtained in the future.
The upper reaches of the ancient Yangtze River were in full swing, so that the Ba people and Baipu, who had been suppressed by Chu Shu, saw an opportunity, and they began to form an alliance, preparing to wait for an opportunity to go north and regain the territory of their ancestors.
There is also the Yue country that fled to ancient Fujian, they fought with the Min people to the death, and finally the Min people retreated to the dense jungle of Wuyi Mountain in order to avoid their edge, and the Yue country was helpless in the face of the primeval forest of the mountains for a while, and could only look at the territory where the Baipu and Ba people were entrenched, the ancient Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan regions, ready to take advantage of their northward participation in the Central Plains War, to seize their power.
In short, the past four or five years have been very chaotic, Lu Di listened to the reports of several people, and said in his heart that the world is really chaotic!
According to Lu Di's thoughts, the reason why the world is chaotic is because of his own existence, and if he stops, then the world will be stable. But he never thought that he had stopped, but the world was even more chaotic.
The waterwheel rotated under the impetus of the mountain stream, the sunlight shone quietly in the mountain forest, and the sound of the stone mill "Jiwa Jiwa" gritting his teeth came from the mill next to him.
Lu Di looked at the rolling waterwheel for a long time and couldn't calm his mood, maybe he should come out and move, otherwise the world would forget his existence.
"Meng Tan, has there been any news from Shi Qi?" Lu Di stood with his hands behind his back, suddenly remembered something, and asked Zhang Meng to talk.
Zhang Meng said: "King, don't worry, with General Shi Qi's ability, it is easy to deal with the remnants of Wu at sea, wait for two more days, and there will definitely be good news."
The thing mentioned by Lu Di is that in recent years, there have been pirates in Wu County who have come ashore to plunder the people, and after the death of Wu County's county guard Wu Huyong, the former county Cheng Huadeng became the county guard.
Hua Deng's talent is there, and the Wu County he governs is also in good order, but he is arrogant and arrogant, and he makes the mistakes that the Song people will make, and he is self-righteous, thinking that he has the ability to exterminate the pirates, and the result is that the more the pirates are suppressed, the more powerful the pirates become, and then they can't hide it, so they report to the court.
At first, the court didn't care when he learned that the pirates had attacked Wu County, but when he learned that the leader of the pirates was actually the friend of the prince of Wu State, he realized the seriousness of the matter.
So there was the matter of this stone beggar sailor going down to the Yangtze River to exterminate the prince's friends.
Now Shi Qi is fighting at sea with the prince's friends, so Lu Di asked about the news. Lu Di was not worried that the remnants of Wu would become bigger, what he was worried about was that after all, sea warfare was different from inland river and lake warfare, and the risk of accidents was too great.
Lu Di thought that the best strategy was to deliberately lure the pirates ashore and then surround them on the shore, but unfortunately Shi Qi did not listen to his advice, but took the initiative to go to sea to find the pirates' nest and clear the bottom.
This led to Lu Di's worries.
As soon as Zhang Meng's words fell, a Wei Lang hurriedly ran to this side, shouting excitedly as he ran: "Eight hundred miles of urgent good news, General Shi Qi pacified the pirates' nest, and captured more than 10,000 pirates, and his thief leader Ji You was pierced by ten thousand arrows and fell into the water and died......"
Everyone looked back in surprise when they heard this, and then they were overjoyed and congratulated Lu Di one after another. Zhang Mengtan stepped forward to take over the battle report, and after reading it, Lu Di laughed and rewarded Wei Lang who passed on the good news.
"Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king, the sea disaster has been eliminated" Dongmen Wuze patted his ass.
Lu Di was satisfied, but he still said: "Although the prince's friend is removed, what about his son?" And the pirates who fled east to the sea, did they go to find the son of the prince's friend? It is still necessary to take precautions".
"What the king said is very true, it is the Weichen who is not careful, although the pirates only escaped a few small fish and shrimp, but after thousands of years, small fish and small shrimp will grow into big fish and prawns, and we still have to continue to be wanted and chase."
