Chapter 1230: Great Achievements Shock the Master, Accompanying Him Is Like Accompanying a Tiger
Wang Chan used his own plan, and he was in charge of the military power of Chu State and could mobilize any troops, so everything went very smoothly. The most important thing was that the Duke of Chu wanted to kill the horse and become a living horse doctor. After all, even without Wang Chan , three years later, Chu will also perish.
In this case, it is better to let Wang Chan give it a try. Even if he loses, it will just be destroyed in advance. But if he wins, it will be different. From now on, the status of Chu State will be at the pinnacle in the Warring States Period, regardless of any country. They didn't dare to touch the Chu State's brow again.
Because of this, the Duke of Chu not only supported Wang Chan with military force, but also with financial resources. Truckloads of gold, silver and jewelry were shipped to Qin State. It only took Qin State not to do anything for one year. This year was enough for Wang Chan. Zen destroyed Weiguo.
Everything was as Wang Chan thought. The Qi State was driven away, and the Wei State was directly destroyed by Wang Chan's army. The Wei State was taken under the boundaries of the Chu State. From then on, the Wei State disappeared in the Warring States Period. within the territory.
Although the Qi State was defeated, Wang Chan did not want to let Qi go. Instead, he transferred the general marshal of the Chu State to the Qi State. It took a year to destroy the Qi State and incorporate it into the Chu State. within the territory.
In one year, Wang Chan destroyed two countries in succession. By the time the Qin State reacted, it was already too late. After all, the territory of the Chu State had greatly expanded, and its military strength had also expanded. It seemed to be the number one in the Warring States Period. Big country.
If it weren't for the fact that the Qin State was far away from each other, Wang Chan would have directly sent a large army to attack the Qin State. Even so, Wang Chan sent a large army to destroy the small countries on the border of the Chu State, and the Chu State's territory was getting bigger and bigger. The bigger.
Three years later, the Chu State's territory changed from a territory of thousands of miles in radius to a territory of thousands of miles in radius. This was only three years of effort, and it was all thanks to Wang Chan.
Since that battle, Wang Chan's reputation has become famous. Taoist Priest Xuanweizi, Wang Chan's ancestor, has resounded throughout the human race, and the Zongheng theory has become the most respected theory in all countries for a while, because the Zongheng theory has been demonstrated. It's powerful.
At this time, Wang Chan's reputation has been well known to the top leaders of various countries or the common people. When Wang Chan is mentioned, Xuan Weizi all thinks of the legend of Wang Chan. He is revered as a ghost, and he argued at the age of sixteen. A group of Confucians came up with the Zongheng Thirteen Theory.
Wang Chan's deeds have all been unearthed. Even the twenty years Wang Chan spent in Taoism are regarded by the world as the twenty years of enlightenment. Wang Chan's deeds are spread by the world, and any exaggerated words are used. On Wang Chan's body.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Chan is leaving the Chu State. His great achievements have shaken the lord, which has already violated a big taboo. However, Wang Chan also knows this truth and is ready to resign as prime minister, return to the mountains and fields, and then spread his fortune across the world. The third story is passed down from generation to generation.
One day, in the palace of the King of Chu, in the morning court, the Duke of Chu was sitting on the throne, but Wang Chan was sitting in the first place. The other ministers were standing respectfully, because Wang Chan was the king. He was the prime minister of Chu State and a hero of Chu State, so he could sit in the court.
"My Lord, now is the time of autumn harvest. If we attack Yue from the east and Qin and Chen from the north at this time, we will definitely be able to destroy these three countries, and then march north in a big way. We will definitely take over the world." Wang Chan sat down. In the main hall, the voice was loud and majestic.
After serving as the prime minister of Chu State for three years, Wang Chan has developed the aura of a superior person, especially when dealing with these ministers. It has become a habit for him to give advice to the country.
The Duke of Chu frowned. Yue was a big country, and Qin was a giant. As for Chen, it was okay. A small country would be destroyed if it were destroyed. As for destroying these three countries at the same time, Chu The Duke couldn't believe it.
And Wang Chan said to continue to advance northward. You must know that if you advance northward, it will be the Zhao State and the Yan State. These are big countries, and they cannot be destroyed simply by destroying them.
"Although the Prime Minister's words have some truth, they are not too eager. Although our country of Chu is powerful, I am afraid that if we attack the three countries at the same time, we may not be able to do what we want!" The Duke of Chu was obviously not ready to agree to Wang Chan's decision.
The other princes and ministers were all stunned. You must know that Wang Chan usually does whatever he says, and the Duke of Chu will usually not have any objections. It is precisely because of this that the Chu State can expand the country's territory within three years. Expanded tenfold.
Why now, Wang Chan's proposal to attack Yue in the east and Qin and Chen in the north was refuted. These princes and ministers all know Wang Chan very well. As long as Wang Chan speaks out, it is basically foolproof.
What Wang Chan said is feasible. As long as these three countries are destroyed, the Chu State will have no worries in its large-scale northward march. It can unify the nine states and the Central Plains, and then the style of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties can be reproduced.
"I think the Prime Minister's words are the best policy. As long as the Yue State is destroyed, the Chu State will have no worries about advancing northward, and the Chen State and the Qin State will open the door to the northward advance. Once opened, our Chu State soldiers will have nothing to look at. ." The Grand Marshal of Chu State said in response.
The Duke of Chu's face looked a little ugly. Although the Chu State now was much more powerful than before, the Duke of Chu had a feeling that this Chu State was no longer his own Chu State, but had become Wang Chan's country. .
Even the general would listen to Wang Chan's words, which is very bad for the current situation of Chu State. Another point is that even if Wang Chan's decision is right, he conquered the Central Plains and unified Kyushu, but so what? ? Chu State is no longer ours!
The Duke of Chu felt that the Chu State was already very powerful. At least no country dared to offend the Chu State, and even military powers like Qin would offer gifts to them. This shows that the Chu State's status has become the number one in the Warring States Period. .
The Duke of Chu didn't need to unify the Central Plains. He just wanted to control his own country. After all, he couldn't even conquer his own country, so what if he unified Kyushu! It's not like I made a wedding dress for someone else.
"No, don't discuss this matter in the future. The State of Yue has paid tribute to us many times. It would be unreasonable to destroy the State of Yue. The State of Qin and the State of Chen also contributed gold, silver and jewels many times. Our State of Chu has become the most important power in the Warring States Period. A powerful country, why waste time on its people and money?" The Duke of Chu rejected Wang Chan's plan.
How could a person like Wang Chan fail to see the fear in the heart of the Duke of Chu? At first, he thought that the Duke of Chu was a king who could assist him, but now he saw that he was just an ordinary man and was not worthy of his assistance.
"My lord's words are also reasonable. I have been assisting my lord for three years. Although I have not done anything big for the Chu State, I still have hard work without any credit. I hope your lord will allow me to disarm and return to the field." Wang Chan looked at the Duke of Chu calmly. said.
As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the hall were all shocked. What does this mean? This means resigning and leaving!
"Prime Minister, you can't do it. The state of Chu today is all due to the contributions of the prime minister. Without the prime minister, the state of Chu would have been destroyed three years ago." The general was busy trying to stop Wang Chan. After all, Wang Chan could conquer a country by himself. If the army leaves, it will be a loss.
"Yes, Prime Minister, if you leave, who will be in charge of the war in the future?"
"Prime Minister, think about it again. Your contribution to the Chu State is so great that even all of us combined can't do it. Only with the Prime Minister here can we keep the Chu State worry-free."
Some ministers tried to persuade Wang Chan and didn't want Wang Chan to leave. After all, these ministers had a clear conscience. The reason why Chu State had such a high prestige in the Warring States period was all because of Wang Chan. If Wang Chan left, , what if the war starts again?
The Duke of Chu's heart moved. Wang Chan proposed to resign, which was exactly what he wanted. After all, when Wang Chan was here, he, the Duke, had no right to speak, as if the country was not his own. As for Wang Chan's departure, The losses caused to Chu State.
The Duke of Chu did not think about this. After all, in the eyes of the Duke of Chu, as long as Wang Chan left, he could take charge of the overall situation of the Chu State again. As for the war, he did not believe that anyone would dare to provoke the Chu State with its strong military and horses.
Besides, even if someone comes to provoke the Chu State, with the current military strength of the Chu State, it is still easy to destroy a country. Therefore, in the heart of the Duke of Chu, Wang Chan has become an obstacle. With Wang Chan around, he can The prestige of Chu State will decline day by day.
Now the people of Chu State all know Wang Chan, but they don’t know that there is another Duke. It is as if Wang Chan is the Duke of the State, and the Duke of Chu is just a minister without any ability, so he naturally feels sorry for Wang Chan’s departure. Yes.
"The Prime Minister has been kind to the Chu State in the past three years. However, the Prime Minister has made up his mind to leave. I can't change it. I can only respect the Prime Minister's intention." When he said this, the Duke of Chu paused for a moment, and then said : "If you designate the Prime Minister the king as the Duke of the Kingdom, it means you are disarmed and returned to the fields. In the future, when you see an official of the third level, you will not bow to others."
At this time, all the ministers finally understood that this was the Duke of Chu who was forcing Wang Chan to leave. Wang Chan had to leave even if he didn't want to. If he continued to stay here, I'm afraid that the Duke of Chu would punish Wang Chan one day. Killer.
The ministers did not dare to persuade Wang Chan to stay. After all, Chu State's intention was already obvious. At this time, these ministers also thought of the sentence, great achievements shock the master, and accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger.
Wang Chan smiled, stood up and left the main hall without taking anything with him. He came to the palace just as he left the palace. This is the case for emperors. When it is useful, he will kneel down and ask for your help. He does not need you. At any time, I will drive you away at any cost.
If you don't leave, you will most likely face death.
Looking at Wang Chan's leaving figure, these princes and ministers were a little helpless. Wang Chan spent three years to transform the Chu State from being on the verge of destruction to the most powerful country in the Warring States Period, but ended up being driven out.
But the Duke of Chu could never have imagined that Wang Chan's departure would be the time for Chu's disaster to strike. The reason why the various countries did not jointly attack Chu was because they were afraid of Wang Chan's ancestor's tactics, but now there is no such thing. of fear.
