Chapter 48 Qin Chu's love and hatred
There are no eternal friends between countries, only eternal interests.
Qin and Chu have been married for generations, and there was a long honeymoon period in history. Many beautiful princesses from the Qin royal family married the prince Gongsun of Chu. When Qin Aigong was Duke Ai, Princess Huaiying, the pearl in the palm of the Qin royal family, received a letter of appointment from the King of Chu for his wife.
The beautiful princess, young princes, according to the fairy tale, the prince and the princess should live happily together from now on. But when the princess wears gorgeous wedding clothes with beautiful longings and feels uneasy, she didn't expect that the one who ended up entering the bridal chamber was the prince's father, a strange millet with a stubble face.
The beautiful Princess Huaiying moaned under King Ping of Chu. The news came back to Qin. Qin Ai Gong was angry, but he also endured it. But later, the Wu army captured Yingdu, and the Chu people went to Qin to ask for reinforcements. For their grandson and for their allies, Qin Ai Gong sent troops to help the Chu people defeat the Wu army, and the Chu people were able to restore the country.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the love of Qin and Chu far surpassed the beautiful legend of Qin and Jin. The princess of Qin married into Chu, and the princess of Chu married into Qin. After many years, many people in the courts of Qin had the blood of Chu. Queen Mother Xuan, Queen Mother Huayang and others, counted, they were truly from the royal family of Chu.
My former good friend has now become an enemy. Qin and Chu's friendship once dispersed with the wind, and all that is left is endless wars, endless blood, and endless hatred between the two countries.
Even if Chu has three households, Chu will surely destroy Qin. When the Chu people made such a vow, how much hatred did the Chu people have in their hearts!
The Chu people hated the Qin people, and the Qin people also hated the Chu people in their hearts! When Wei Wenhou and Wu Qi emerged from nowhere, they defeated Qin and were looking for trouble, and were about to destroy Qin. However, the Chu people did not lend a helping hand, and even took the opportunity to capture Qin's land, hoping to destroy Qin with the princes.
When Qin State rose again, his once good buddies became enemies of life and death.
In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, in the palace of Luoyi, the Qin army carried the spoils in an orderly manner. The small Eastern Zhou Dynasty fought down, and the rest was to clear away the remnants of the forces and establish the ruling order of the Qin army.
"Meng Tian fought a war with the Chu army and captured the Chu army's chief general Li Yuan?" Wang Jian carefully looked at the letters sent by Meng Tian. While he was surprised, he also felt a little scared. Unexpectedly, the Chu people really sent troops north. Fortunately, Meng Tian was not Zhao Kuo, so he blocked the Chu people's attack, otherwise the Qin army's flank would be in danger.
Wang Jian was even more worried about the Zhao State in the north when he sent troops, but he did not expect that Zhao State was quiet and had no news at all. Later, he learned that Pingyuan Jun of Zhao State was seriously ill and finally died. King Zhao Daoxiang was busy taking over the power left by Pingyuan Jun, so he naturally had no interest in sending troops. Instead, he hated Lian Po, who had a close relationship with Pingyuan Jun.
"The Koreans are destined to be unreliable, and they have to seize the time to conquer South Korea!" After Wang Jian obtained the specific situation, he was very dissatisfied with the Koreans' two-faced swords. At this time, South Korea had already surrendered to Qin, but when the Chu army headed north, South Korea pretended to be deaf and dumb, and it was nothing to do with it.
Meng Tian suggested to Wang Jian that Li Yuan's sister was favored by the King of Chu, and used this path to promote the Qin and Chu peace talks. When Xinlingjun defeated Meng Ao in the Battle of Handan, the Chu people sent troops to assist in the war. The relationship between the two countries was once very tense, and a large number of troops were stationed in Nanjun, which was not conducive to the Qin army's capture and destroying the Three Jin countries.
Wang Jian agreed with Meng Tian's proposal very much. He thought that the war between Qin and Chu would have to be put to the end, and the Qin State would mobilize the whole country's troops.
"Come, send good news to Xianyang immediately!" Wang Jian thought for a while and wrote a memorial to the King of Qin, explaining the need for peace talks with the State of Chu, and valuable prisoners should make full use of it. "Meng Tian is really experienced!" Wang Jian nodded with a smile. Originally, Meng Tian could have submitted a memorial to Ying Zheng himself, but he understood that in Wang Jian's army, he did not leave Wang Jian alone, but reported to Wang Jian truthfully and respected Wang Jian's authority.
Qin and Chu discussed peace and eased the hostile relationship between the two sides. As long as the ministers who knew the spirit of Qin's diplomacy would not refuse this rare opportunity. Fan Sui's long-distance and near attack seemed to be very simple to understand, to make friends with remote countries and attack adjacent neighboring countries. In fact, the spirit of far-distance and near attack was the same as Bismarck's diplomacy, and the essence was to isolate the enemy. When Han, Wei and Zhao were enemies with Qin, without allied countries to rescue them, Qin would easily defeat them one by one.
Sure enough, after Wang Jian's memorial was sent to Xianyang, the Chu forces such as the Empress Dowager Huayang, Chang Wenjun, etc. tried their best to promote Qin and Chu to ease bilateral relations and sent people to connect Li Yuan to Xianyang. Li Yuan seemed to be in a dream. He was still a prisoner the moment before, and no one from the Qin army gave him a good face, but the next moment he became a distinguished guest of Qin. To be precise, the Qin people regarded him as the ambassador for peace talks.
"Oh, the Chu people in the court are still too anxious!" After learning about the actions of Empress Dowager Huayang and others, Meng Tian lamented in his heart that he must first calm the country when fighting foreign countries. This sentence actually makes sense.
Before the Qin State launched the war of destruction, Ying Zheng had to launch a rectification movement like Grandpa Mao to form a solid leadership core. Lu Buwei, Lao Ai and others, with the support of the army, could not cause any storm. However, the Chu forces represented by Empress Dowager Huayang were forced to deal with them carefully.
The deep Chu forces, they lived in Qin for many years, and perhaps they did not love Chu as much as Qu Yuan, but Chu has its own deep cultural heritage for 800 years. If Qin wants to truly destroy Chu, it will probably cause their reluctance. Chinese people living in Europe and the United States may think that this is not good or not. If there is a conflict between China and the United States, they will not pay too much attention to it, but one day, if the United States wants to destroy China like Japan, they will definitely not be indifferent.
Before the death of Empress Dowager Huayang, there should be no major war between Qin and Chu. Meng Tian studied the captured map of Chu, combined with his own memory, and thought to himself that no wonder Meng Tian insisted on 600,000 people to accept the task of attacking and destroying Chu. Chu is worthy of being the largest country in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is really not a pity that the vast territory is. Even if Bai Qi captured Yingdu and obtained the land of Nanjun, Chu's territory was still very large. Instead, it swallowed up Lu and expanded a lot of land to the south.
The foundation of Chu was not shaken by the Qin State and the Yue people. In the culture of Chu people, the King of Chu was not only a king, but also a symbol of the national spirit, and it felt quite a bit like a sage. The people of Chu would feel sad in the loss of the capital, but as long as the King of Chu was still there, the people of Chu would have hope in their hearts.
Don't think about this hard bone in Chu for the time being. Meng Tian took back his thoughts and his eyes fell on South Korea's territory. The land of Nanyang could just block the road to the north of the Chu people, and he could also look at the capital of Chu Shouchun. If he could obtain the land of Nanyang, South Korea would only have Yingchuan County, and he could take it down at any time...
