I'm The Emperor of All-Heavens

Chapter 614

"Is he still there?"

"Alas! I Qin will not send troops. What's the use of begging?"

Yongcheng, state of Qin.

At the gate of the palace city, doctors poured in.

Every time I pass by, I can't help glancing at the palace wall.

Because there was an unkempt man standing by the wall.

It's been fifteen days.

This is Shen Baoxu.

Compared with the calm in the face of danger and command when he was in Yingdu, Shen Baoxu's eyes were dim and his body was shaky. He was inferior to beggars on the street.

Under the walls of Qin Jun's palace, beggars were not allowed to stand, but he was different. What he begged was not rice, but political assistance.

Shen Baoxu came to Qin and hoped that Qin would help the great Chu and resist the invasion of small countries.

Three months ago, Emperor Zhou angrily denounced the state of Chu for its bad officials and called on the princes of the world to discuss it.

Chu claimed to be king, and his relationship with the son of Zhou has always been the most tense. This is a well-known thing, but this time, the words of the son of Zhou have never been more intense.

Jiang Wu did not respond to the internal and external troubles of the Jin and Qi dynasties, while other countries saw a good opportunity to prepare their troops.

Not only did it have high sounding reasons, but also the alliance of small states did not return after the war.

After the Jin Dynasty was completely destroyed, only the state of Jiang withdrew and returned home. The kings of other small countries became guests on the throne of the prince of Chu and also watched the ceremony at the throne ceremony.

After all, their appearance saved the demise of the state of Chu. The crown prince of Chu is also the leader of the alliance. He should stay in love and reason.

After staying, it is the distribution of interests. The five vassal countries first proposed to expand their territory, and the other eight countries also wanted their territory.

Chu has a vast territory and abundant resources, and the border is a desolate area. The king of Chu wants to agree.

However, when Kong Qiu entered Chu, he strongly advised the king of Chu to give him treasure and not cede his land.

This is undoubtedly correct if we look at the concept of future generations, but in fact, in the spring and Autumn period, there was no concept that land could not be abandoned.

Because years after years of war, it's common to win, misappropriate the land of other countries, lose the war, and spit out the cities you have got.

But the king of Chu was young and vigorous. He didn't want to give in, so he immediately listened to what Confucius said.

The thirteen monarchs were dissatisfied.

If you exert your strength, the casualties are not light, and there is no good, you will be sent away?

If the state of Chu is still at its peak, they dare not be presumptuous and will eventually retreat, but now, Chu is not the so-called big Chu!

Seeing that the alliance did not go and led the army to stay, the king of Chu was angry and wanted to send troops and forcibly drive them away, but Kong Qiu stopped him and asked the Confucian disciples to persuade him with righteousness and "invite" all the Allies out.

As a result, the Confucian disciples were completely defeated.

The virtue of a gentleman, the virtue of a villain, and the wind on the grass will fade.

The spread of the wind of a gentleman is enough to make the grass fall with the wind. This is Kong Qiu's belief in educating the world, but this time, the kings of small countries who came for the sake of interests obviously don't eat him.

In fact, Confucianism at this time is full of talents, and its disciples are both literate and martial. They are not the kind of scholar who meets soldiers and unreasonable cynics in later generations. They should not have failed miserably in governing all places and fighting with small countries.

However, it is a pity that the state of Chu itself has a huge chain of interests. Confucianism takes it for granted to rely solely on the newly crowned king of Chu.

Constrained by the clan family, the Confucian disciples were struggling, and the allies of small countries began to separate one side. The state of Chu, which was already in great trouble, was even more turbulent.

When other small countries look at it, they can take advantage of it. Naturally, they swarm in and blossom everywhere.

Shen Baoxu went to the state of Qin and begged the king of Qin to send troops to expel the small country. He did not hesitate to give all the northwest of Dongting Lake to the state of Qin.

However, Shen Baoxu begged repeatedly that the king of Qin just prevaricated. Shen Baoxu was helpless and refused to stay in the post. He leaned against the palace wall outside the Qin palace, did not drink or eat, went on a hunger strike to sprout his ambition, cried loudly all day from morning to night, and his perseverance was moving.

When Shen Baoxu and Wu Zixu were ministers of Chu, they were close friends. They were called the second Xu of the spring and Autumn period by later generations. They both have a tenacity of never giving up until they reach their goals.

Unfortunately, in this life, there are no good stories of crying Qin Ting, and there are no handed down poems in the same robe with Zi.

Shen Baoxu did not drink or eat for half a month, and finally lost his breath.

Until his death, he still looked at the direction of Yingdu in the distance, with a deep despair in his eyes. Qin Jun respected his loyalty, restrained the body and returned to the state of Chu.

In history, Qin's rescue of Chu was not moved by Shen Baoxu, let alone the so-called marriage relationship.

Qin and Jin dynasties also have their own advantages. They are not stabbing each other and talking about everything. They are all choices after weighing the pros and cons.

The state of Wu is militaristic and aggressive. Once it occupies the state of Chu, it will inevitably wave its troops to all countries. At that time, even if Qin is in the western border, it will be at risk.

Sending troops to help Chu, on the one hand, can curb the development of the state of Wu, on the other hand, it can also make the state of Chu continue to oppose the northern Jin and Qi, so that the state of Qin can close its doors, recuperate and accumulate national strength.

But now the situation is completely different.

The state of Wu has no enterprising power, the civil unrest in the state of Jin is turbulent, and the state of Qin is ready to move up and down. I hope to take advantage of this great opportunity to go through the customs and enter the East and break through the blockade of the state of Jin.

In this case, the more chaotic the state of Chu, the better for Qin and Yue. Otherwise, there is a risk of enemies on both sides.

Shen Baoxu's body has not been transported back, and Chu has been occupied by 32 small countries, with wars everywhere.

A magnificent palace, even if it is strong and spacious, is full of termites and moths. If it can't resist erosion, it will only collapse.

Today's big Chu is like this.

However, the hundred footed insects died but did not freeze. The counter attack of the king of Chu and the Confucian school was also extremely fierce. The clan and family forces also found that the situation was critical and fully cooperated.

Thousands of miles of territory, full of war.

Burn the enemy and burn yourself.

……

A few months later, the state of Shen.

Officials were looking forward to it. In the distance, a team appeared in the sky and suddenly burst into uncontrollable cheers.

"The grain transportation team of Jiang state is coming!"

"Fortunately, there is Jiang Guo. He has always adhered to the way of benevolence and morality and helped us. Otherwise, the king will not return. The domestic people are boiling with resentment and can't support it for a long time!"

"Alas, the state of Chu has a vast territory and rich products, which is comparable to our small country. The king has long been reluctant to come back!"

There was no scruples when people talked in public.

It was really king Shen who left his country behind and separated the counties and counties in Da Chu. He had a happy life.

Even if it is a territory of the same size, how can the spiritual power of a small country compare with the thousands of mu of spiritual field and the great Chu of Tiancai and Dibao?

The king did not want to return, but also constantly transferred troops to consolidate his territory in the state of Chu. The people in China were killed.

At this time, Jiang's assistance arrived.

"I'm late. I hope you'll forgive me!"

Wenzhong personally led the team, got out of the carriage, saluted the people and explained, "the mountain road is rugged and difficult to travel. We need to lay a new grain road for future exchanges between the two countries, so it's a delay!"

"Easy to say! Easy to say!"

This time there were not only Cereals, but also spiritual food taken by nobles. The smiles of those officials were more enthusiastic. They turned a blind eye to the so-called grain road laying and the spread of divine patterns.

"Farewell!"

Wenzhong acted vigorously, sent grain and grass everywhere, bowed his hand, turned and returned to the team.

"Go, go to dun country!"
