Chapter 312: Ruo Ao's Difficulty (8)
Deng County was recovered, and the coalition forces began to collect ships to prepare to cross the river. Douhuang led his army to launch a surprise attack on the Pan Yi army on the south bank of Yanshui, and defeated the gang of goods. The intention of the Dou Huang was only to break through and not to kill, so he did not kill the enemy.
After the battle, Douhuang led his army to continue down Yanshui by boat, occupied the empty defense of the Yanyi ferry, and then crossed the Hanshui to the east. The king was three days away from the rebels. Under the surprised gaze of the Sui and Tang scouts, the Dou Huang went north in a grand manner.
Further forward is the line of defense set up by Shen Gong Wuchen. This line of defense is somewhat long, and Wuchen does not have the strength to defend it all-out; So he built a lot of watchtowers along the line, and then built several strongholds and placed the army in the strongholds.
The Emperor sent a bait army to attack the westernmost stronghold under his banner, and as a result, he attracted all his forces to the west. He led the main force to break through from the weak eastern end, and in this way quickly broke through the defensive line. The defectors traveled day and night all the way, and finally came to the Jin Kingdom.
Jin Chenggong was overjoyed, and he gave Miao Yi to Douhuang, and Douhuang took in the scattered clansmen in Fengyi. Later, he took his father's character as his name, so the history books also called him "Ben Huang" or "Miao Ben Huang".
Emperor Miao Ben has always been more active in the political arena of the Jin Kingdom, and he participated in the "Battle of Yanling" in Jin and Qi, and the "Battle of Yanling" in Jin and Chu. He hated the king of Chu, but he was not the kind of extreme anti-Chu element, and he did not actively harm the state of Chu. Compared with his two brothers, Qu Wu and Wu Yuan, Miao Benhuang is simply an angel of the Chu State.
Although Emperor Miao Ben is an outstanding thinker and has made great contributions to the Jin office, the Jin State has always been full of talents in the political arena, so he is not so outstanding. As a detention doctor, although Douhuang did not shake the world like Wu Zixu, he got a good death.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the internal struggle within the Chu royal family has always been fierce and cruel, with incidents of monarchs and ministers killing each other, brothers turning against each other, and doctors killing each other, and the persecuted nobles were forced to flee. Their preferred country for exile was the Jin Kingdom, so there was a saying at that time, "Although Chu is talented, it is really used by Jin". However, the Jin people fled to the state of Chu but very few (probably only Bozong's son Bozhou plough). The arrival of the Chu people greatly improved the competitiveness of the Jin state, but also seriously weakened the strength of the Chu state.
In the mid-to-late Spring and Autumn Period, the state of Chu was actually destroyed in the hands of Qu Wu and Wu Yuan.
Wang Shi defeated the rebels, but the disaster of Ruo Ao was not over. King Zhuang of Chu issued an edict to completely remove the traces of Ruo Ao's clan in Chu State, Ruo Ao's clan was slaughtered, and the first powerful clan in Chu State was on the verge of extinction.
People related to the Ruo Ao clan are also screened, and a large number of people are arrested and killed every day, including innocent people who are "screened". The organizers began to take advantage of the opportunity to purge dissidents and extort money, just as they had done in previous riots.
Also implicated were those who had flattered Bo Di. These are people who are hated even by sycophants, and as a result they did not get a touch of light while he was alive, but they suffered with him when he died. King Chuzhuang knew that they were innocent, but he still turned a blind eye and killed them, because he really couldn't find a better time and excuse to get rid of these scumbags.
Just as the Ruo Ao clan was scattering and fleeing, a noble and prominent Ruo Ao doctor was not afraid of death, and returned to Yingdu with righteousness, he was the fighting son Zhen Yin (counselor) Dou Kehuang.
Before he died, Dou Pan urged Dou Kehuang to leave the Chu State, but he did not obey his father's orders. Dou Ke Huang wants to unlock the secret of his father's killing, but soon encounters the rebellion of the Ruo Ao clan.
When Wang Shi and Ruo Ao fought fiercely in northern Han, Dou Kehuang was on a diplomatic mission in the Qi State. On his way back to China, he heard the tragic story of the extermination of the Ruoao clan. His friends advised him to flee immediately and not to fall into the trap. But Dou Ke Huang said, "Who can accept me if I have turned my back on the king's commands?" The king is like heaven, can I flee to the heavens? ”
Dou Ke Huang entered Yingdu with the talisman in his hand, and none of the bounty hunters who were staring at him and wanted to rummage through every corner of the city dared to arrest him. After Dou Kehuang returned to King Chuzhuang, he took off his crown, took off his court clothes, and went to the Si Defeated Mansion to surrender. Si Yu didn't dare to "take in" him, so he asked King Chuzhuang for instructions.
King Chuzhuang was shocked by Dou Kehuang's loyalty, and he sighed: "If even the loyal people have to be punished, how cruel will they be? If even Ziwen's sacrifice is cut off, who else in the Chu State is willing to do good! King Chuzhuang personally went to the Sifu Mansion to take Dou Kehuang out and said to him, "Go back to your official office!" If you have been born again, change your name to 'Birth'! ”
Ruo Ao's family has been in a slump since then, but it still has not withdrawn from the historical stage of Chu. The Dou clan made a comeback during the reign of King Chu Ling, and had the power to restore the great cause of their ancestors; But helplessly, there was another fighting pepper-like figure in the family, and the clan was implicated and suffered a catastrophe.
And just when the Dou clan was content with its fate, the heavens began to favor it again...... It's really uncertain, and the world is impermanent!
