Zixu Changqing

Helu four years

Helu planned to invade the capital of Chu State, but Sun Changqing dissuaded him, saying, "It's not possible for the people to work, just wait for it." Helu agreed.

Wu Zixu proposed to divide the Wu army into three branches, and take turns to attack the Chu army.

Since then, the Chu army has been running around year after year, suffering unbearably.

Helu six years

Sun Changqing and Wu Zixu surrounded Yuzhang with the army led by Chu State Nangwa. He Lu once again saw the dawn of capturing Ying (ying) of Chu State. Replied, He Lu accepted the words again.

Three years passed in a hurry, because Sun Changqing repeatedly emphasized the importance of information and spies, Wu Guo bought and sent a large number of informants in Chu State, and a large amount of information from Chu State flowed into Wu State continuously.

Until the ninth year of Helu, the rotten trees of Chu State will wither.

In the court hall, the ruler of Chu is weak and his ministers are strong, there are many factions, and internal friction is serious;

In terms of people's livelihood, the confrontation between the nobles and the common people sharpened, and uprisings broke out everywhere;

Economically, because of Wu Jun's repeated guerrilla attacks, the economy was depressed, and the people suffered unspeakably;

In the military, Nangwa holds great power, the army is corrupt, the weapons are outdated, and the combat effectiveness of the army is low.

One day Wu Zixu begged to see Helu, king of Wu, and brought a message.

Wu Zixu said, "Your Majesty, I have learned that Tang and Chu have feuded against each other. Maybe we can get assistance from Tang."

Tang State was a vassal state of Chu State. He Lu was puzzled and asked why.

Wu Zixu said, "Earlier, the Duke of Tang obtained two rare steeds. When he went to see King Xiong Zhen of Chu, he gave one of the steeds to Xiong Zhen. Xiangguo Nangwa of the state of Chu asked Duke Tang for the leftovers in private. Duke Tang refused to let him go, so Nangwa detained him in Yingdu for three years. After three years, other people in Tang State stole the old horse from the Duke's attendant and offered it to Nangwa. I have to go back to Tang country. After returning to Tang country, the people of Tang country compiled this into a ballad and sang it widely. Tang Gong vowed to take revenge."

He Lu laughed loudly, "God will help me!"

Soon, the envoys of the state of Wu came to the state of Tang with the letter of credence and asked to see the king of the state of Tang. Duke Tang opened the letter of credence, which read:

"Chu has no way, tortures and kills Zhongliang, invades the princes, and humiliates the noble king. I want to send troops to attack Chu, and I am willing to conspire with the king."

Tang Gong closed the letter of credence and said, "May I do my best to fulfill the wish of King Wu."

Soon, a similar scene happened again.

On this day, Cai Guo's envoy came to Gusu, took the prince as a hostage, and expressed his willingness to join forces with Wu Guo to attack Chu.

Same as Tang State, Cai State is also a vassal state of Chu State. It turns out that Marquis Cai had two silver sable furs and two suet white jade to match, so he donated one fur and one jade pendant to Xiong Zhen.Nangwa asked Cai Zhaohou for the rest, but Cai Zhaohou refused, so Nangwa simply detained him in Chu State.

Three years later, after Tang Gong returned to the country, Cai Guoren followed the example of the Tang people and sent jade pendants and furs to Yingdu as a gift to Nangwa, so Caihou was able to leave.

After Cai Hou returned to Cai State, there were constant criticisms in the country. He once asked Jin State, the upper state of the Central Plains, to challenge Chu State. Unfortunately, the king of Jin State agreed verbally, but his subordinates did not take any action.Cai Zhaohou, the majestic king of a country, is almost devastated every time he thinks of this incident.

Later, Cai Hou heard about the alliance between Tang and Wu from Tang Gong, so he took his own parents and sons as hostages and asked him to come to Wu to ask Wu to send troops to attack Chu.

He Lu could only sigh: "Heaven is going to perish, so we have to do it!"

Immediately repaired the book and sent it to Cai Hou, and Cai Hou's reply arrived soon.

"The widow is willing to use the power of the whole country to attack Baochu!"

In June of the ninth year of Helu, in the 14th year of King Jing of Zhou, with the support of Zhou Tianzi, Wu Guo led eighteen countries to fight against Chu. Relying on his large number of soldiers, Nangwa led his army across the Han River to fight against the Wu army.

That night, Nangwa wanted to escape, but his subordinates found out, and the morale of Chu State was extremely low.

In October, the two sides faced off again in the land of Baiju in the state of Chu. Helu's younger brother, Fugai, begged Helu, "Nangwa is tyrannical, greedy and ungrateful, and his subjects and soldiers have no will to die. Take the initiative to attack, the enemy Fang will lose."

He Lu refused, "We have a more secure plan, don't act rashly."

Unconvinced, the husband attacked the Chu army with 5000 men, but the Chu army was defeated by [-] men, and the general Nang Wa fled in the chaos.

Sun Changqing acted decisively, led the army to follow closely behind, and completely defeated the Chu army. Many generals of the Chu state organized the Chu army and began to withdraw. The Wu army followed closely and continued to fight.

In the first battle, Chu was defeated!

In World War II, Chu was defeated!

Three battles, Chu defeated!

Four battles, Chu defeated!

Five battles, Chu defeated!

No one in the Chu army could turn the tide, and the Wu army won five battles and five victories, and went straight to the Ying (ying) capital of Chu State!
