#历史故事 #
King Chu Ling married the Princess of Jinguo very beautifully, and he felt very good about himself, he had already done something that King Chu Zhuang had not done. He also had to do the second thing: personally lead the United Nations army to fight against the State of Wu!
Yes, to establish a will, it is best to find a prince to beat him up. King Chu Ling had been thinking like this.
But the world is at peace, and those who can beat themselves up are the Chu state that hates the Wu kingdom. There was still a reason for the Chu state to fight the state of Wu: the state of Wu did not participate in the last two world peace conferences and did not belong to the central plains princely states.
Moreover, now that the State of Chu is also the lord of the princes' alliance, the State of Chu wants to crusade against a country, and as long as there are enough reasons, it can order all the princes to fight together.
King Chu Ling remembered the scenery of the State of Qi during the reign of Duke Huan of Qi, and also remembered the scenery of the Jin Dynasty for hundreds of years, always waving a big hand and leading a group of princes and younger brothers to the rivers and lakes. The State of Chu should also have such a scenery.
The method was very simple, call a general assembly of princes, and then give an order to build a coalition army to jointly attack the state of Wu.
In order to reflect the prestige of the Chu state, the King of Chu Ling believed that the rules of the World Peace Conference should be promoted, and in the last two World Peace Conferences, all countries participated in the Shangqing, and this level was still not enough, this time, the monarchs of various countries personally participated.
In order to unify the thinking of the Jin state, the King of Chu Ling specially sent Wu Ju to consult with the Jin state.
Jin Pinggong thought about it and laughed: Didn't the World Peace Conference say that it would be held every five years? Why is it only two years since the last meeting, what is your Chu country going to toss and turn? Oh, this time even let the widows personally participate, the Chu State likes to engage in a set of hijacking the princes at the conference, even the last time Han Qi and Shu Xiang went to the Chu State to send relatives, they were almost cut off and castrated. Can you still participate in this?
Jin Guo's opinion soon came out: The country is too busy to come out, so this meeting will be convened by your Chu State. As for the question of whether the monarchs of other princely states will participate, anyway, your Chu state is also the lord of the jianghu alliance, and you must be.
King Chu Ling was very happy, so he sent a notice to all the countries: the monarchs of all the princely states were invited to come to the Chu Kingdom for a meeting to discuss the important matters of maintaining world peace and order.
In 538 BC, an international conference led by the State of Chu was held in the capital of the State of Chu. However, the situation at the meeting was not very optimistic, the State of Qi and the State of Qin were accustomed not to participate in such meetings, the State of Jin had already said that it would not participate, the King of the State of Wei, Wei Xiang, said that he could not come from illness, the State of Lu said that this year was preparing to sacrifice the Zhou Gong and could not get out of his body, and both the State of Qi and the State of Cao said that there was turmoil in the country and that they could not participate in it.
Zheng Guo, Song Guo, Chen Guo, Cai Guo, Xu Guo, Ju Guo, Xu Guo, and several other countries attended the meeting, and zheng Guo, the monarch of the state, Zheng Jiangong, personally participated. According to historical records, in preparation for this meeting, King Chu Ling made up for the various rituals of the Central Plains and humbly asked Zheng Guo and the Song people for advice, and the meeting became a very successful meeting.
For King Chu Ling, the success of the meeting was first of all completely in line with the etiquette system in form, which made him feel super good about himself. In terms of substantive content, there is no content, but the State of Chu still made an oath of alliance, and without the participation of the State of Jin, this oath became the kind that everyone respected the State of Chu as the boss.
The princes who participated in the meeting also coped with it, no matter how much you Chu Guo tossed. But what no one expected was that Chu Guo really tossed out the actual action. An important agenda item at the meeting was the formation of a United Nations army to fight against the State of Wu.
This agenda was significantly revised at the last minute, according to the original meaning of the King of Chu Ling, first to attack the state of Xu and then against the state of Wu. The reason is that Xu Guo and Wu Guo are very close, and Wu Guo is the enemy of The Chu State, and since the Chu State wants to fight against the Wu State, then according to the spirit of the World Peace Congress, the princes must discuss it together.
What king of Chu Ling did not expect was that Xu Guo actually came uninvited. In this way, the legitimate reason for the crusade against Xu Guo was lost, everyone sincerely came to the peace conference, and you still had to go on a crusade against him, which was unreasonable. But King Chu Ling still had a knot in his heart, thinking that this would spare you Xu Guo?
"Come, arrest Xu Guoyao." King Chu Ling gave an order, so Xu Guojun, who originally wanted to gain some benefits from xu guo by participating in the world peace conference, became a prisoner.
It's too much. Everyone thought about it, but didn't dare to say it. Now the people of the Jin State did not seem to care about the princes of the Central Plains at all, and the Chu State produced this Chu Ling King, and everyone was afraid.
Alas, there is no way, no one dares to offend this too old master, then send troops according to boss Chu's plan. As a result, the United Nations army was successfully formed, and Prince Chu Ling led a large army of princes to directly attack the state of Wu.
At this time, the State of Wu had just experienced the pain of the assassination of King Wu, and in 544 BC, King Yu of Wu was assassinated by the Yue people, and was succeeded by his brother Yi Ming as King of Wu. Who ever thought that the Chu state would raise troops at this time to attack? With little defense at all, the Wu army retreated and lost the important town of Zhufang (in the area of present-day Dantu County, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu).
The Wu army shrank its defensive line and strengthened its combat readiness. As soon as King Chu Ling saw that the strategic goal had been achieved, he led the coalition army back to the division. However, the combined forces of the princes were so vast that they captured a Zhufang City in the State of Wu, which was really not addictive. I have to find a country to destroy it, so that I can show my great might.
Therefore, King Chu Ling led an army to attack the Lai state. Lai Tiangong, the ruler of the State of Lai, was scared half to death, how could this be resisted? So, surrender was announced.
Lai Tiangong's surrender adopted the highest ritual: meat folding. The first time the King of Chu Ling saw what was called meat, he saw that the gates of Lai Guo were wide open, and Lai Tian Gong walked out step by step naked, holding a piece of beautiful jade in his mouth, his hands were tied back, and several people in the back carried a coffin, walked to the Chu Ling King and knelt down in front of him, and his entourage took out the jade in Lai Tian's mouth and respectfully presented it to King Chu Ling.
"The great king of the kingdom of Shang, because of his loneliness and immorality, offended the great king, so that the great king raised a sword, and the small country did not dare to resist, and now led the people of the whole country to kneel and beg the great king, and all the blame was imposed on the lonely, even if the great king immediately killed the orphan, the orphan did not complain, but please the king must forgive the people of the lai country." Lai Tian Gong wept.
King Chu Ling couldn't help but be moved, what is the strong eating the weak? What does it mean that a weak country has no diplomacy and no status? Lai Guo is like this.
King Chu Ling personally lifted Lai Tiangong up, ordered the coffin to be burned on the spot, and said to Lai Tiangong:
"Bu Gu has come here with the princes in order to settle the lai country, and if you lai country has survived to this day, what happiness can the people have to speak of?"
Don't panic, Bugu agreed to your request, from now on, let Dachu protect the Lai people, and all the Lai people will move to Dachu's Yan land. Bugu will build a high castle in Laidi. King Chu Ling said in a loud voice.
The people who have destroyed other people's countries, robbed other people's things, and moved people's homes have said that they are for the happiness of others. What is this called? Bandit logic.
Thousands of years later, there is also a country that says: For the common prosperity of Greater East Asia and for the happiness of your Chinese people, we have invaded your China. bah!
King Chu Ling moved the Lai people to Yandi and ordered Dou Wei Gui and Gongzi Xiong to abandon their diseases and build a city in the Lai kingdom. The State of Lai thus died at the hands of the State of Chu in 538 BC. When the lai kingdom was destroyed, future generations took the motherland as their clan, which is one of the origins of the Lai surname.
