Chapter 370: Chu State vs. the Eight-Nation Alliance! Destroy Britain!

Outside the sky.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Taibo's behavior, he was also amused by the minister's behavior.

"Who is the king after all?"

"Or are you the king?"

"Sometimes, what Confucius said really makes sense."

"The minister is so arrogant that he even dares to cut the king. This is not in accordance with Zhou Li."

"It is also not in compliance with the laws of our Ming Dynasty."

"Although he appears to be a loyal subject."

"But if Taibo was in the Ming Dynasty, then all nine clans would be wiped out."

[The main thing is that the commander of the Chu State is out, and he must either win the battle or die if he loses.]

【This is also a tradition. 】

[King Wen of Chu could not enter the city, so he had no choice but to go and attack another small country despite the pain.]

[This battle was won.]

[However, on the way back home, King Wen of Chu died of a sudden illness due to overwork.]

【Tai Bo also knew that he was responsible for the death of King Wen of Chu.】

【So after the funeral of King Wen of Chu was over. 】

【Tai Bo committed suicide in front of the tomb of the King of Chu.】

……

Seeing Tianmu’s story come to this, the comments from the barrage also began to speak.

"Good fellow, the minister who defies heaven!"

"Employees bossing their bosses, right?"

"It's ok that the previous King Wu fought wars everywhere, but how come King Wen is also a war maniac?"

"Ah? You're not allowed to return to the city after losing the fight?"

"The Chu State can tolerate tyrants, but cannot tolerate waste."

"Does the King of Chu have a KPI for going out to fight? If the performance does not meet the standard, will he be eliminated internally?"

"Tai Bo is so strong-willed!"

"This is Chu Man, listen to what my Taibo says!"

"The key point is that this was the Spring and Autumn Period, when everyone was still reluctantly following the Zhou rituals, but the Chu State was completely barbaric?"

……

Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Nanliang.

Inside Gangneung City.

After the rebellion of the great general Hou Jing, Emperor Yuan of Liang, Xiao Yi, successfully won the game.

He was sitting in Jiangling City.

That is Yingdu, which was the capital of Chu for 400 years.

Looking at the sky curtain, tell the story of King Wen of Chu.

It's also very enjoyable to watch.

Yingdu, which is today's Jiangling, initially became prosperous because King Wen of Chu moved the capital of Chu here.

Therefore, Xiao Yi made Jiangling his base camp and the new capital of the Liang Dynasty.

King Wen of Chu seemed very kind.

Xiao Yi spoke to several close ministers and princes around him.

Some said ostentatiously:
"This Jiangling City gradually rose to prominence after King Wen of Chu moved the capital there."

"Until now, it has been one of the most important cities in Daliang."

"However, although I have read a lot since I was young and have collected books for more than 40 years, I have 14 volumes in my library in Daliang."

"But I didn't even know this story about Taibo."

"Well, it seems that sometimes I still don't read enough."

"A year's plan begins in spring, a day's plan begins in the morning."

"It is spring now, and the country's revival is about to begin."

"After I receive the letter I wrote to Yuwen Tai asking him to return Yizhou to me, I will also start to work hard to restore Daliang to its peak!"

【After King Wen of Chu died, his son Chu Du'ao succeeded him. 】

[He doesn't even have a posthumous title. You can imagine what kind of waste he is. ]

[After Chu Du'ao came to power, he ate, drank, played, and had fun every day. He just played. ]

[A few years later, his younger brother launched a coup, killed the king and proclaimed himself king, known as King Cheng of Chu.]

[After King Cheng of Chu ascended the throne, he paid tribute to the King of Zhou to show his goodwill.] [The King of Zhou also appointed the King of Chu as the guardian of the southern border.]

[Let the King of Chu guard the south and not invade the Central Plains countries in the north.]

[King Cheng of Chu respectfully said that he would obey your order.]

[He then led his troops to the north several times to attack the State of Zheng, and forcibly subdued the State of Zheng.]

[The king of Zheng, shirtless, holding the imperial seal in his mouth.]

【Leave the city and surrender to the State of Chu.】

【This is the origin of the idiom "肉防衔璧". 】

[After defeating Zheng, Chu was still not satisfied and attacked Song again.]

[The State of Song was originally quite powerful. In history, it was a minor hegemon during the Spring and Autumn Period, and was later known as the eighth hegemon during the Warring States Period.]

[But facing the Chu army, it was still a bit overwhelming. ]

[It seems that the southern border guards of the Holy Great Zhou Empire are almost reaching the Yellow River. ]

【Duke Huan of Qi finally couldn't sit still any longer.】

[Duke Huan of Qi, the overlord of the Central Plains, led the Eight-Nation Alliance. 】

【Go south to fight against the Chu army. 】

[Faced with the might of the Eight-Nation Alliance, King Cheng of Chu was also scared. ]

【So they held a meeting with the Eight-Nation Alliance at Zhaoling.】

【Promised to pay tribute to the Zhou emperor again.】

[The two sides also temporarily signed a peace agreement. ]

[In order to temporarily avoid the attack of Duke Huan of Qi, the Chu State turned its next attack direction to the east. ]

【Consecutively destroyed the Huang Kingdom and Britain.】

[Until 645 BC, King Cheng of Chu attacked the State of Xu.]

【Duke Huan of Qi once again summoned the allied forces of the princes.】

【But this time, the coalition forces were afraid of the Chu army's offensive, which led to a disadvantageous battle. 】

【King Cheng of Chu took the initiative to attack and defeated the State of Xu in one fell swoop. 】

[The Eight-Nation Alliance outside saw that Xu State had surrendered, so they dispersed. ]

……

Barrage:

"You can tolerate tyrants, but you can't tolerate trash?"

"If the rubbish can't make Chu strong, then just kill him in a coup?"

《Oh my god, why is the sense of déjà vu so strong! 》

"Wow, the Eight-Nation Alliance has come out!"

"Will Chu destroy Britain? Will it launch a blitzkrieg against Britain?"

"England is now Yingshan County, Huanggang."

"Huang Xie, the Lord of Chunshen, was originally from the State of Huang, but his title was given by the State of Chu, and his fiefdom was Shanghai."

"Guan Zhong was also humorous at the time. He led the coalition of princes to punish the State of Chu, and he actually punished King Zhao of Zhou for dying in your land of Chu."

"Haha, didn't King Zhao of Zhou die for over 300 years?"

"Zhou Tianzi: Guarding the King of Chu in the South, what did you guard?"

"King Cheng of Chu: If I swallow all the small countries into my stomach, won't they be safe?"

《Tearing the anti-Chu siege network in anger, 666! 》

"The small countries surrounding Chu are really miserable!"

"In times of war, which small country is not miserable?"

"Okay, now I see that the main storyline of the Spring and Autumn Period is to be the Central Plains country and take the lead in resisting the Chu State."

"Is Chu the country that destroyed the most princes?"

Canopy.

【Duke Xiang of Song stood up again at this time, ready to inherit Duke Huan of Qi's position as the overlord and lead the princes of the Central Plains.】

【Duke Xiang of Song convened a meeting of the alliance and appointed himself as the leader of the alliance. 】

[This caused dissatisfaction among King Cheng of Chu.]

【Then King Cheng of Chu invited Duke Xiang of Song to a meeting.】

[As a result, at the meeting site, King Cheng of Chu had ambushed the swordsmen in advance.]

[We'll discuss it first, and if the discussion doesn't work out, we'll just do it. ]

[As a result, the two sides quarreled at the scene. ]

[Duke Xiang of Song angrily rebuked King Cheng of Chu and said:]

[“How dare you be so arrogant? Calling yourself the leader of the alliance!”]

[“You, a fake king, are suppressing me, a real prince?”]

[“Ah? You’re the fake king suppressing the real prince!”]
