Chapter 51 Attention (Part 1)

As Yan State prepared to recapture the Wei territory, Yan and Wei countries began large-scale military preparations.

At the borders of the two countries bordering Jixi and Wei, people are even more prohibited.

The world's eyes also looked here one after another.

In a palace in Chu State, seven wizards with various masks were dancing Nuo dances to occupy Yan and the upcoming battle between the two countries of Wei in the Wei region, which had an impact on Chu State.

King Xiong Wan of Chu and Mr. Huang Xie of Chunshen were also praying to the ground and prayed sincerely.

"Chu Ci Zhangju" says: "The customs of Chu State believe in ghosts and likes temples. The temple must be filled with songs and music to cheer the gods."

At this time, while actively absorbing the Central Plains culture, the State of Chu was also deeply influenced by folk customs from all over the south.

The people of Chu were connected with ghosts and gods, one was sacrifice and the other was divination. In Chu, male witches were extremely popular in divination, from the monarchs to the people and the common people, all of them were like this, so there was a saying that "respecting lustful sacrifices" was left.

Whenever the king of Chu was involved in major events or undecided, he would do divination.

The divination of divination in other countries in the Central Plains is the divination and divination official, but in the State of Chu, it is the responsibility of the witch.

As the dance ended, seven wizards formed a circle and looked at the ground in the circle.

There are forty-nine Bucao on the ground with strange symbols. To be honest, except those who are familiar with this technique, even if others see the Bucao on the ground clearly, they do not know the meaning.

King Xiong Wan of Chu anxiously asked one of the seven people: "Great Witch, what's the result?"

This man, known as the Great Witch, looked carefully at the figure formed by the divine grass on the ground and pondered:

"The king, the hexagram is unclear, and the chaos is in chaos!"

After these witches left, King Xiong Wan of Chu asked Huang Xie, the Chunshen Jun beside him:

"The hexagram given by the gods given by the gods in the sky are also unclear. The battle between Yan and Wei countries in Wei seems to be not very beneficial to our Chu State. Where should our Chu State go in the future?"

Chunshen Jun Huang Xie bowed to King Xiong Wan and said, "King, the battle between the Central Plains is now even tighter. Last September, King Ji Kang of Yan held a grand military parade in Jidu to shock the world."

"In October, King Yingji of Qin carried out the matter of sacrifice to heaven and establishing a tripod. King Han entered Qin, and King Wei sent the country to obey the orders of King Qin. In this way, it was used to highlight the overlord status of Qin among the Central Plains countries."

"From the current perspective, whether it is the Qin State in the west or the Yan State in the north, both countries have ambitions to dominate the world. Judging from the results of the Battle of Suiyang, in the Central Plains, our Chu State cannot confront Yan and Qin State head-on, so we should avoid it."

After hearing Huang Xie's words, King Xiong Wan of Chu pondered silently.

After a while, he asked the Yin Yin Huang Xie: "Mr. Chunshen, how should I avoid it?"

Chunshen Jun Huang Xie replied to King Xiong Wan, "

King, this Chen Ying City is too close to the Central Plains countries. In order to avoid Yan, Qin is the sharpest, so our state of Chu has no choice but to move the capital."

King Xiong Wan of Chu frowned slightly and said to Huang Xie:

"Mr. Chunshen, our capital of Chu has been moved again and again, not to mention the new capital Shouchun City, which is still under construction. Where should our capital of Chu be moved now?"

Huang Xie saw the concerns in King Xiong Wan's heart.

Think about it, in order to avoid the edge of Qin, Chu moved the capital from Yingdu to Chenyi. Although Chu still called Chenyi Yingdu for the sake of face, it itself had the smell of spitting on his own.

Two years ago, in order to avoid Yan and Wei, the military fronts of the two countries had decided to build a new capital of Shouchun City.

However, Shouchun City has not been built yet, so I am in a hurry to run away again. Not to mention the Central Plains, no matter how you see Chu's frequent capital migration, even the people of Chu's own country may not be able to see it in private.

Huang Xie quickly explained to King Xiong Wan of Chu: "King, this move to the capital is a temporary solution, not a long-term plan. I think that with the confrontation between Yan and Wei, the Central Plains will soon begin to turmoil, and our Chu State should not intervene at this time."

"However, Chen Ying, the capital of Chu, is too close to all countries in the Central Plains. If you are not careful, you will be forced to get involved. King, this is really not good for Chu!"

King Xiong Wan of Chu knew that Huang Xie was telling the truth, so he couldn't help but sigh helplessly:

"Since that's the case, let's move the capital temporarily! Chunshenjun, where is the temporary capital of our State of Chu?"

Huang Xie came to the geometric map hanging on the wall inside the hall, pointing to Juyang City (now Taihe, Anhui) at the southern end of Chenying on the map.

He stated to King Xiong Wan of Chu:

"Prince, please see, in my opinion, the capital of Chu State should be temporarily moved to this city to see the current situation in the Central Plains. Prince, first of all, this Juyang City is located between Chen Ying and the new capital Shouchun, which is under construction, and is a symbol of the route of the capital of Chu State to move the capital."

"The second reason is that the city is located south of the Ying River, where the Yingshui and Rushui (now Quanhe River in Anhui) meet here, and it has been a natural barrier since ancient times. Moreover, the city is about ten to twenty miles south of the Huzi Kingdom in Hu County, Chu State (now Fuyang Old City) and Zonghu (now Baimiao Village, Yingquan District, Fuyang City, the former site of Huzi Kingdom in Spring and Autumn), and there is a larger buffer zone, which can be stationed in large troops."

"If the Central Plains situation calms down, our Chu State can move back to Chen Ying; if the Central Plains situation will be turbulent in the future, our Chu State can be here. After the new capital Shouchun is built, we will move the capital to Shouchun."

King Xiong Wan of Chu thought for a long time, nodded, and said:

"Okay, then wait for early March, when spring is in full bloom, and move the capital to Juyang City temporarily! Chunshen Jun, I have been rumored to let all the ministers in the court prepare for moving the capital."

Chunshen Jun Huang Xie bowed and replied, "No."

Just as Chu State was about to confront Yan and Wei State, and was about to fight, and the Central Plains was turbulent, and was preparing to move the capital. In Daliang, the capital of Wei State, the King of Wei State, discussed with his ministers the upcoming battle of the Wei State with his ministers.

"According to the investigation, the king of Yan Kang Langzi's ambition has sent Chang Guojun as the main general, leading an army of 100,000 to gather in Jixi to prepare to attack our Wei Kingdom. How should our Wei Kingdom respond? Please tell me."

King Wei sat on the throne and said to the ministers angrily.

After hearing this, the ministers of Wei State hung their heads one by one, and remained silent.

Don’t underestimate the many ministers of Wei. In this era, they are the most well-informed people.

The ministers of Wei also knew more about the situation in Yan State at this time.

The wealth and strength of Yan State were known to all the ministers of Wei State at this time. Especially after the Yan State occupied Qi territory, the military parade held in Jidu last autumn, the people of the world learned about the current strength of Yan State's military force.

It can be said that the military appearance shown by Yan State during the military parade really made all countries in the world panic.

Seeing his ministers like this, King Wei was very angry.

"All the ministers, the Yan army is approaching. Do you have no countermeasures?"

Seeing this, Shangqing Zhou Xin could only sigh secretly, walked out and advised King Wei:

"The king, as the saying goes: water comes and soil covers it, and soldiers come and stop it. Now Yan State wants to attack our Wei State and seize our guard land. Our Wei State has no choice but to send troops to stop the Yan army."

"But, the king, the national strength of Yan State is well known to everyone now. If it is only for our Wei State, it may be difficult to stop the Yan State's army. Our king can send envoys to various countries and ask all countries to send troops to our Wei State to help us and resist the Yan army together."

When the ministers of Wei State saw Zhou Xin talking, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They stood up one after another and said in unison: "What Zhou Xin said is so true, I'm going to discuss it."

At this time, Shangqing Lingzhi, who had been frowning for a long time, stood up and said to King Wei:

"King, I have another plan here, I want to report to my king."

When the King of Wei heard this, he quickly met Shangqing's order to follow the post:

"I will tell you what you have to do."

Ling Zhi coughed, bowed and advised King Wei:
