Chapter 117 Chu Country captures with the Qi Country situation 第117章楚国攻略和齐国态势 Since the car(riage) turns Luo Country, the Chu Country aristocrat even more is wildly arrogant. 自从车翻洛国之后,楚国贵族就愈发骄狂。 That is Luo Country! 那可是洛国！ Defeats Luo Country to explain that Bang Zhou Mandate of Heaven is not indestructible, Heaven has started to give up Bang Zhou. 打败洛国就说明邦周的天命已经不是坚不可摧,上天已经开始放弃邦周了。 Especially in the remaining main great nations, Chu Country almost can select two, therefore the Chu Country aristocrat is in being elated with success of first under heaven. 尤其是剩下的主要大国之中,楚国几乎能一挑二,于是楚国贵族就处于天下第一的春风得意之中。 Few people realized that a big danger character has pasted on their foreheads. 很少有人意识到一个大大的危字已经贴到了他们的脑门上。 Among Chu Country aristocrats every day because of the issue of benefit, noisy being heavily engaged. 楚国贵族之间每日因为利益的问题,吵的不可开交。 But their each is the ancestor and relative emperor's relatives who make the great merit, is in Chu Country the enfeoffed nobles of powerful, has not done matter that does a disservice to ducal family, competition is the personal grudge, does not involve the ducal family fate. 但他们各个都是立下大功的宗亲贵戚,都是楚国之中强力的封君,并没有做过对不起公室的事情,互相之间的争夺都是私人恩怨,不牵连公室下场。 This makes King of Chu have a headache very much, because these people's disputes indirectly affected the strategic plan of Chu Country. 这让楚王很是头疼,因为这些人的争执间接影响到了楚国的战略规划。 King of Chu is looking in the country the disorder of aristocrat, is very badly battered. 楚王望着国中贵族的乱象,很是焦头烂额。 In governing country, a lot can only Prime Minister be done, the monarchy is undoable, therefore his another start fondly remembers Uncle Xiang Cheng. 在治理国家之中,很多事情只能国相去做,君主是不能做的,于是他又一次的开始怀念舅父项程。 Before Xiang Cheng dies, will be Chu Country has set the future strategy, „ when King, the place of multi- snakeworms Wu County, catches Sheren will catch the snake, if cannot kill it thoroughly, will certainly be violated by the snake. 项程死前为楚国定下过未来的策略,“王上,吴国之地多蛇虫,捕蛇人捕蛇之时若是不能彻底将其杀死,就一定会被蛇所侵害。 Wu County is the poisonous snake same country, but also is intimate situated in the back of Chu Country, if cannot destruction Wu County, be is certainly violated in the future. 吴国就是毒蛇一样的国家,还处于楚国的后背腹心,若是不能覆灭吴国,日后是一定会受到侵害的。 The Wu County land, after many years of work, similarly is one of the granaries, after the Chu Country vitality restores, must start to extinguish Wu immediately. 吴国的土地,经过多年的耕耘,同样是粮仓之一,楚国元气恢复之后,就要立刻开始灭吴。 King was sure to remember, after extinguishing the country, wants the prefectures and counties and fief parallel, moreover must do alternately, then sends a general, guards Wu place. 王上切记,灭国之后要郡县和封土并行,而且要交叉进行,然后再派遣一员上将,镇守吴地。 Such ducal family can suppress the duplicate/restores country strength of Wu place with the aid of the strength of enfeoffed nobles, you only need to sit quietly Yingdu, can gather the payment of taxes. 这样公室就能借助封君的力量来镇压吴地的复国力量,您只需要安坐郢都,就能收取赋税。 What a pity Xiang this generation cannot hold the post of the lingyin talent, otherwise the feudal official then cannot so worry that these aristocrats obstructed. ” 可惜项氏这一代没有能够担任令尹的人才,否则臣便不需如此担心那些贵族阻挠了。” After Xiang Cheng dies, King of Chu knows the aristocrat obstruction that he said is what meaning, the aristocrats agreed very much he extinguishes Wu, but extinguishes Wu at the same time, must continue to maintain the offensive of Shu plain, kicked up a fuss directly the day. 项程死后楚王才知道他说的贵族阻挠是什么意思,贵族们很同意他灭吴,但灭吴的同时,要不要继续保持蜀国平原的攻势,直接吵翻了天。 Until Wei Country routs Qin Country, making the Qin Country vitality damage severely, lost and Chu Country in the background of Shu plain competition, attacked the plan of Wu County to reach a deadlock directly. 直到魏国大败秦国,让秦国元气大伤,失去了和楚国在蜀国平原竞争的底蕴,进攻吴国的计划直接被搁浅。 On the Shu plain the white and shiny land does not want, to give Qin Country, isn't that sins? 蜀国平原上白花花的土地不要,让给秦国,那不是造孽吗？ Qin Country return to the western frontier horse breeding to well, the land of Shu plain he cannot grasp, but must Chu Country. 秦国还是回西陲养马为好,蜀国平原的土地他把握不住,还得楚国来。 „ Wu County is fish and shrimp in dire straits above shoal, the only result died. “吴国是困死在浅滩之上的鱼虾,唯一的结局就是死亡。 Qin Country is actually the injured wild animal, now does not hit the dead beating to be remnant while him weakly, must vertical enter the mountain forest him, rests and builds up strength, comes and Chu Country again fights? 秦国却是受伤的野兽,现在不趁着他虚弱打死打残,难道还要将他纵入山林,休养生息,再来和楚国争锋吗？ This is unwise. ” 这是不明智的。” If Xiang Cheng will certainly say here, „Wu County is not the fish and shrimp on shoal, but is the strong cattle, hunting and killing Wu County can let the strength strengthen of Chu Country, but Qin Country is actually the beast of prey that is hard to attack and capture.” 若是项程在这里一定会说,“吴国并不是浅滩上的鱼虾,而是健硕的牛羊,猎杀吴国能够让楚国的实力变强,而秦国却是难以攻克的猛兽。” King of Chu thought must obey the Xiang Cheng last words, first perishes Wu County, but the words of aristocrats yes right, the Qin Country weak time is indeed rare. 楚王还是觉得要听从项程的遗言,先灭亡吴国,但是贵族们的话的确是没错,秦国虚弱的时机是不可多得的。 When moves to the matter to move, since the situation changes now, then dealing of Chu Country should also change. 时移事迁,既然现在形势发生了变化,那么楚国的应对也应该作出改变。 The transformation of this strategy, stimulated the watchful heart of Qin Country to Chu Country greatly, finally made Qin Country agree with the joint suggestion of foe Wei Country. 这种战略的转变,大大刺激了秦国对楚国的戒惧之心,最终让秦国同意了仇敌魏国的联合建议。 Said that Wei Cheng goes abroad on a diplomatic mission the return from Qin Country, nonstop and goes to Qi Country, was not big as for the Wu County difficulty, details another envoy to go. 却说卫城从秦国出使归来,就马不停蹄的又前往齐国之中,至于吴国的难度本就不大,就选派另外一名使臣前往。 After arriving at the Qi Country Linzi, Wei Cheng is somewhat surprised, said to about attendant: „Qi Country has the advantage of fish salt, is really the rich place, state-owned odd/surplus wealth/fiscal, then strong soldier, has strong soldier then to develop, it seems like that this Horizontal Alliance can succeed.” 来到齐国临淄后,卫城有些惊讶,对左右亲随说道:“齐国有鱼盐之利,真是膏腴之地,国有余财,便强兵,有强兵便要拓地,看来此次连横是能成功了。” Although what Wei Cheng study is a technique vertically and horizontally/able to move unhindered, but Wei Fajia representative is his good friend, therefore regarding the simultaneous/uniform legalist school is not have a liking, saw that the Linzi lively first response is Qi Country this place is good. 卫城虽然学的是一身的纵横之术,但魏法家的代表人物是他的好友,所以对于齐法家是看不上的,见到临淄繁华的第一反应就是齐国这块地方好。 As the Wei Country envoy, Wei Cheng saw Duke of Qi smoothly, Wei Country, although is also accounting for part of place of Huai Si River, but belongs to Qin Country close to Qi Country one side, therefore between Wei Country and Qi Country, these year and does not have any friction. 作为魏国使者,卫城顺利地见到了齐公,魏国虽然也占着淮泗之地的一部分,但靠近齐国的一侧是属于秦国的,所以魏国和齐国之间,这些年并没有什么摩擦。 The Duke of Qi attitude is also genial, asked: „senior official, Marquis of Wei makes you come, but do some important matters consult?” 齐公态度还算是和善,问道:“大夫,魏侯让您前来,可是有要事相商吗？” Wei Cheng then cut down clear/pain to say neat by six countries, „Chu Country these years were really even more wildly arrogant, bullied to Qin Country and Wu County in excess, the monarch deeply felt Chu Country to be overbearing, thought of various nations, wants to contact Han Zhao Qinwu to be uneven, six country Horizontal Alliance attacked clear/pain, north making Chu Country not dare to peep the heart again.” 卫城便以六国伐楚说齐,“楚国这些年来实在是愈发骄狂,对秦国和吴国都欺压过甚,国君深感楚国骄横,为列国着想,想要联络韩赵秦吴齐,六国连横攻楚,让楚国不敢再有窥北之心。” Duke of Qi shakes the head to say immediately: „ Qi&Chu has not bordered on, without the conflict, attacks a remote great nation like this is the non- wisdom. 齐公当即摇头道:“齐楚并未接壤,没有冲突,这样进攻一个遥远的大国是不智的。 Chu Country has not sent out troops to Qi Country, Qi Country actually resorts to violence to Chu Country arbitrarily, this is not the country of benevolence must do. ” 楚国并未向齐国兴兵,齐国却擅自向楚国动武,这不是仁德之国应当做的。” The meaning of Duke of Qi is very clear, Wei Country wants to defeat Chu Country, becomes the world overlord, Qi Country does not have this thoughts, but does not want to become the Wei Country tool, Qi Country does not accompany. 齐公的意思很明确,魏国想要击败楚国,成为天下霸主,齐国没这个心思,但也不想成为魏国的工具,齐国不奉陪。 Wei Cheng said with a smile deprecatingly: „ Duke of Qi, Chu Country is the great nations of side four thousand li (500 km), this is the world various nations cannot. 卫城不以为意地笑道:“齐公,楚国是方四千里的大国,这是天下列国所不能及的。 Qin Wei sent out troops to Chu Country, without your help, will be defeated. 秦魏向楚国兴兵,若是没有您的帮助,想必是会失败的。 If failed, decides however must cede territory bribery clear/pain, what land Qin Wei had is the Chu Country hope obtains, was Qin Wei can cedes? ” 若是失败,定然要割地赂楚,秦魏有什么土地是楚国希望得到的,又是秦魏可以割让的呢？” Duke of Qi heard that word complexion some are unattractive, Chu Country wants naturally is the place of Huai Si River, if Chu Country attains the place of Huai Si River, Qi Country with the Chu Country neighbor, the great strength of Chu Country is Qi Country is unable to prevent now. 齐公闻言脸色有些不好看了,楚国想要的当然是淮泗之地,若是楚国拿到淮泗之地,齐国就和楚国比邻,现在楚国的强大是齐国无法阻挡的。 Wei Cheng said seriously: „ Duke of Qi. 卫城郑重道:“齐公。 The wild animal in mountain forest in hungry ate the rabbit and deer, has not actually hunted and killed facing the goat , because it has satisfied? 山林之中的野兽在饥饿的时候吃掉了兔和鹿,面对山羊却没有猎杀,难道是因为它已经满足了吗？ It is not, the beast of prey will certainly eat all prey that it sees. 不是,猛兽一定会吃掉它见到的所有猎物。 It lets off the goat is only because it ate to the full temporarily, when 2nd day it again hungry time, can the goat escape? 它放过山羊只是因为它暂时吃饱了,等到第二日它再次饥饿的时候,难道山羊能够逃脱吗？ Chu Country is such fierce wild animal. 楚国就是这样凶恶的野兽。 Qin Country and Wei Country let Qi Country and Wu County in years past cede Huai Si River , because Qin Wei Liangguo should not be seized by Chu Country. 秦国和魏国昔年让齐国和吴国割让淮泗,是因为秦魏两国不要就会被楚国夺走。 You said that Chu Country and Qi Country land has not bordered on, this is not because Qin Country and Wei Country did occupy Huai Si River? 您说楚国和齐国的土地没有接壤,这难道不是因为秦国和魏国占据了淮泗吗？ You said that Chu Country and Qi Country do not have the enmity, this is not because Chu Country is demanding the land with Wei Country? 您说楚国和齐国没有仇怨,这难道不是因为楚国在和魏国索取土地吗？ Just like Qin Country disagreement/not with Qi Country confronts, is not because Wei Country is diverting the Qin Country army? 正如秦国不和齐国对峙,难道不是因为魏国牵制着秦国的军队吗？ Between Wei Country and Qi Country indestructible friendship, this is, you who Heaven grants now reject the request of Wei Country Horizontal Alliance, when the place of Huai Si River falls to the hand of Chu Country, then to Qi Country was really the total destruction. 魏国和齐国之间坚不可摧的友谊,这是上天所赐予的,您现在拒绝了魏国连横的请求,等到淮泗之地落到楚国的手中,那对齐国来说真就是灭顶之灾了。 By that time Chu Country cannot demand the land from the hand of Wei Country, if not demand from Qi Country, but where can also demand? 到那时楚国不能从魏国的手中索取土地,如果不从齐国之中索取,还能从哪里索取呢？ By that time, Wu County had perished, Qin Wei has not resisted the Chu Country strength, where can you from seek for the ally? 到了那个时候,吴国已经灭亡,秦魏没有抵挡楚国的实力,您又要从什么地方去寻找盟友呢？ Luo Country like over the past 800 years will be the same, maintains Qi Country calm and steady? 难道洛国会如同过去800年一样,维护齐国的安稳吗？ You are the wise monarchy, won't be able to see stake? 您是英明的君主,难道会看不出这其中的利害关系吗？ Capable gentleman in Qi Country how many, I requested sincerely you inquired their opinions, they will certainly agree. ” 齐国之中的贤能之士又是何其的多,我真诚的请求您询问他们的意见,想必他们是一定会同意的。” Therefore Duke of Qi asked that the politics in the Qi Country official, after lunar new year's that murder case, the Qi Country ducal family power came back a point, but Qi Country state policy mainly in the hands of ten several senior official. 于是齐公问政于齐国臣子,经过旧年的那场血案,齐国公室的权力回来了一点,但齐国国政主要还是在十数位大夫的手中。 Under these senior official is the support of gentleman, as the Qi Country national strength restores, Qi Country starts to be ready to make trouble again, particularly Huai Si River area, this is the pain in Qi people heart. 这些大夫下面又是士的支持,随着齐国国力恢复,齐国再次开始蠢蠢欲动,尤其是淮泗地区,这是齐人心中的痛。 Really like such that Wei Cheng expects, Qi people has wanted to take back Huai Si River area, now the opportunity appears, how possibly to let off. 果然如同卫城所预料的那样,齐人早就想要收回淮泗地区,现在机会出现,怎么可能放过。 „ Monarch, Qin Country is the country of western frontier region, from the Qi Country far more than five thousand li (500 km)? “国君,秦国是西陲之国,距离齐国又何止五千里呢？ The administrative enclave in Huai Si River looks like the kite to be the same, if Qin Country is powerful, that sews in Qi Country nail. 淮泗的飞地就像是纸鸢一样,若是秦国强大,那就是钉在齐国身边的钉子。 But if Qi Country gets up powerful, so long as shears that line, can take the land, now Qin Country is weak, therefore keeps in the Qin Country hand to be beneficial to Qi Country the land. 但若是齐国实力强大起来,只要剪断那一根线,就能够将土地取回来,现在秦国虚弱,所以将土地留在秦国手中对齐国是有益的。 However Chu Country from Qi Country is about 500 li (0.5 km), this is Qi Country must be worried truly, but also please comply with Wei Country Horizontal Alliance. 但是楚国距离齐国不过五百里,这才是齐国真正要感到担心的,还请您答应与魏国的连横。 But Qi Country and Chu Country do not border on, Qi Country is morality and justice participates in Horizontal Alliance, Wei Country and Qin Country must shear the earth for Qi Country in Huai Si River, the three countries must have the land in Huai Si River, this can work as one to resist Chu Country. ” 但齐国和楚国并不接壤,齐国为道义参与连横,魏国和秦国应当为齐国在淮泗割土,三国都要在淮泗拥有土地,这样才能齐心协力对抗楚国。” Wei Cheng has expected Qi Country to reclaim the land of Huai Si River, when Qin Country, had reached an agreement the condition. 卫城早就料到齐国想要收回淮泗的土地,早在秦国之时,就已经谈好了条件。 Qin Country was defeated by Wei Country, now only wants to preserve the Shu plain and Three-Jin the northern land, collects taxes regarding the request of Huai Si River, therefore Qin Country and Wei Country respectively are Qi Country cede several cities, received exchange for dispatching troops of Qi Country. 秦国被魏国击败,现在只想要保住蜀国平原和三晋之北的土地,对于淮泗的要求就是收税,于是秦国和魏国分别为齐国割让数座城池,换取齐国的出兵。 As for Wu County, is wild with joy facing the sudden union of Central Plain feudal lord simply. 至于吴国,面对中原诸侯的突然联合简直欣喜若狂。 Marquis of Wu is the clear and resonant voice in Gusu laughs to say directly: „ In years past the Wu County true rise, was Battle of Yanling surprise attack Chu Country. 吴侯更是直接在姑苏城中朗声大笑道:“昔年吴国真正的崛起,就是鄢陵之战奇袭楚国。 Now the Central Plain feudal lord unites again, the lands of eight thousand li (500 km), the chariot 10,000 ride, the soldier over a million, Chu Country is hard to resist. 现在中原诸侯再次联合,有八千里的土地,战车一万乘,兵员上百万,楚国是难以抵挡的。 This is the opportunity that Wu County starts, recruits the soldier in nation. ” 这是吴国重新兴起的机会,征召全国的儿郎。” Various nations reorganize the armament, this is the common matter, between various nations will have the war once for a while, Chu Country has not thought that six congressional Horizontal Alliance attack clear/pain, prepares to defeat Qin Country above the Shu plain as before thoroughly. 列国整顿军备,这是再常见不过的事情,列国之间时不时就会发生战争,楚国并没有想到六国会连横攻楚,依旧准备在蜀国平原之上将秦国彻底打垮。 The agreements between this six countries have not actually escaped from the Luo Country informer, Luo Chang say with a smile to about in Luo Palace: „ Technique vertically and horizontally/able to move unhindered is going to be prosperous in the world, since then, various nations persuasive speakers decide however being in fashion world, in which outstanding person can say the making a country prosperous, a word defeats the country. 这场六国之间的约定却并没有逃脱洛国的耳目,洛长在洛宫之中向左右笑道:“纵横之术将要在天下之间兴盛了,自此之后,列国说客定然风行天下,其中的佼佼者能一言兴邦,一言败国。 Luo Country must record these, official historian sending a letter to various nations, these things must record in detail, some day, the country declines, must extract from the history book, compiles the plan collection specially, to spread later generation. ” 洛国应当将这些记录下来,向列国的史官发信,这些事情要详细地记载下来,有朝一日,国家破落,要从史书之上摘录出来,专门编撰成策集,以流传后世。” ...... …… Wei Cheng sees right in front of one Duke of Qi, said: „Now the crime of Marquis of Chu, it is really thick in Count of Qin and Marquis of Wu, I lord the desire to cut down it, however the strength falls short, therefore the envoy borrows the soldier in simultaneous/uniform.” 卫城面见齐公,曰:“今楚侯之罪,其于秦伯、吴侯甚厚,吾主欲伐之,然力不逮,故使臣借兵于齐。” Duke of Qi said: „With clear/pain Huan, fights together, but non- wisdom.” 齐公曰:“齐与楚欢,战而不智。” Wei Cheng said: „With clear/pain Huan, took Qin Wei as together, Qin Wei Bai, simultaneous/uniform weak, clear/pain Bitun it, the feudal official was Duke sorrow.” 卫城曰:“齐与楚欢,以秦魏为屏矣,秦魏败,齐弱,楚必吞之,臣为公忧。” Duke of Qi is happy, then sends out troops to cut down clear/pain.- «Chankuots'e Wei policy» 齐公大悦,遂举兵伐楚。-《战国策・魏策》 ( This chapter ends) (本章完)
