Chapter 52 Vertical Union clutches clear/pain 第52章合纵扼楚 For 400 years, whenever Luo Country sends out the envoy to the south various nations time, showed that Chu Country threatened the royal family and Central Plain. 四百年来,每当洛国向南方列国派出使臣的时候,就证明楚国又威胁到王室和中原了。 In Various Countries of Xia, most powerful country, such as promote, simultaneous/uniform, health/guard and Song, this is the great nation that King Wu and uncrowned king enfeoff, either is the Ji ancestor and relative, either is the Jiang relations by marriage, either was the previous dynasty noble descent, just founded a country was Duke Hou Gaojue. 在诸夏列国之中,最强大的国家,如晋、洛、齐、卫、宋,这都是武王和素王分封的大国,要么是姬姓宗亲,要么是姜姓姻亲,要么就是前朝贵胄,刚刚开国的时候就都是公侯高爵。 Compared with these people, is normal, the resources that after all opening, and friend or stranger in royal family is different. 比不过这些人,是正常的,毕竟开局的资源、和王室的亲疏就不同。 However comes out Chu Country! 但是偏偏就出来一个楚国！ late monarch was sealed is just the viscount. 先君受封的时候只不过是子爵。 Bestowing the earth is about 50 li (0.5 km), but also in Hanshui River that type everywhere is the places of savage, goes down in the world the thing of sacrificial offering must steal to the neighboring country. 赐土不过五十里,还在汉水那种遍地都是野人的地方,落魄的时候就连祭祀的用品都要到邻国去偷。 Finally, unexpectedly forcefully killed from that difficult position, became a pivotal great nation, this is how the matter that is worth admiring. 结果,竟然硬生生的从那么艰难的境地之中杀了出来,成了一个举足轻重的大国,这是多么值得敬佩的事情啊。 Since the Luo Su time, all previous Luo Country monarch attaches great importance to Chu Country very much, Luo Xiu naturally similarly so. 从洛苏时代开始,历代洛国国君对楚国都很重视,洛休自然同样如此。 Therefore, although Chu Country had not revealed that marches the thoughts of Central Plain, but Luo Xiu has started the layout to Chu Country dig a pit ahead of time. 所以,虽然楚国还没有表露出进军中原的心思,但是洛休已经提前开始布局要给楚国挖坑了。 Luo Xiu sent out three waves of envoys together, respectively to Chu Country, Yǐng Country and Wu County. 洛休共同派出了三波使者,分别到楚国、颖国、吴国之中。 Yǐng Country and Wu County mission is the official goes abroad on a diplomatic mission, but the Chu Country mission sends by the Luo Xiu private individual, does not go abroad on a diplomatic mission, visits the elder purely. 颖国和吴国的使团都是官方出使,而楚国的使团则是以洛休的私人身份派来,不是出使,单纯的拜访长辈。 Yǐng Country was needless saying that this was the Luo Country ally, besieged and pursued to block off Chu Country definitely unable to lack him, Wu County was the feudal lord who Luo Xiu paid attention to newly. 颖国不用说,这是洛国的盟友,围追堵截楚国肯定缺不了他,吴国则是洛休新关注到的诸侯。 Huai's Yi defeated in the past too miserably, the strength loses is too big, later was beaten severely don't hit a person when he's down by Various Countries of Xia, profits by Chu Country and Wu County most. 淮夷当年败得太惨,实力损失太大,之后就被诸夏列国痛打落水狗,其中以楚国和吴国得利最多。 Luo Xiu prepares to connect the feudal lord time, noticed existence of Wu County, looking like a knife was the same, can hold directly intimate of Chu Country. 洛休准备串联诸侯的时候,就注意到了吴国的存在,就像是一把刀子一样,能够直接捅进楚国的腹心。 Therefore Luo Xiu plans to support Qi Country in the Central Plain, then contacts the feudal lord of place of Wu and Yue kingdoms, if Chu Country really prepares to attack from Cai Country and Chen Country this road, unites Wu and Yue kingdoms to teach Chu Country ruthlessly. 所以洛休计划着在中原扶持齐国,然后联络吴越之地的诸侯,如果楚国真准备从蔡国、陈国这一条路上进攻,就联合吴越狠狠教训一下楚国。 This set of even/including trick/recruit, is really 90 power fights the attribute worthily, the governing level is ordinary, balanced Vertical Union Horizontal Alliance does plays was too smooth. 这一套连招,真不愧是90的权斗属性,治国水平一般,合纵连横搞平衡玩的太溜了。 Goes to Chu Country the person of chancellor is the middle-aged man of scholarly, his status is not ordinary, is on Derro Hou son, the Luo Xiu blood younger brother, is only because of the born, therefore cannot be classified as Luo. 前往楚国的主事之人是个儒雅的中年男子,他的身份不一般,乃是上代洛侯的儿子,洛休的亲弟弟,只是因为庶出,所以不能冠以洛氏。 Because his mother came from Chen Country, therefore takes Chen as. 因为他的母亲来自陈国,于是就以陈为氏。 Although is not the direct descendant juniors in Luo Country ducal family, one of the people but as Luo Xiu most trusting, Chen Chen has the pivotal position in Luo Country. 虽然不是洛国公室之中的嫡系子弟,但是作为洛休最信任的人之一,陈辰在洛国之中拥有着举足轻重的地位。 This Luo Xiu dispatches Chu Country him, offers birthday congratulations for the elder, two are to have a look at the situation in Chu Country, investigates their actual situation. 这一次洛休将他派往楚国,一则是为长辈祝寿,二则是看看楚国之中的情况,探查一下他们的虚实。 Accompanying also Luo third generation direct descendant juniors, reason that does not send Luo Xi to go, is Chu Country has mainly had the criminal record, if deducts again, what to do that really does not know should. 随行的还有一个洛氏第三代的嫡系子弟,之所以不派洛曦去,主要是楚国有过前科,万一再扣下,那真是不知道该怎么办。 From the illustrious city to a Yingdu enough several thousand li (0.5 km) distance, spans such far distance to offer birthday congratulations, is mainly because this elder is special. 从昭城到郢都足足几千里的路程,跨越这么远的距离去祝寿,主要是因为这位长辈特殊。 His, the name, is the Luo indisputable direct descendant juniors! 他氏洛,名与,是洛氏无可争议的嫡系子弟！ If the ducal family juniors in Luo Country had it all suddenly, then this can inherit the Luo family lord's position. 若是洛国之中的公室子弟突然被一锅端,那么这位就能继承洛氏家主的位置。 In the Luo Country old people already immediately, this that died of old age is in Luo the rank highest person. 在洛国的老人都已经寿终的当下,这位是洛氏之中辈分最高的人。 In the past entered official Chu Country Luo Yan lineage/vein. 正是当年入仕楚国的洛宴一脉。 Now about hundred years, only have the old person of this longevity also to remain. 现在将近百年,只剩下了这位长寿的老人还残留着洛的氏。 After he passes away, Chu Country this cannot worship the uncrowned king again. 等到他逝去之后,楚国这一支就不能再祭拜素王了。 Chu Country Luo is very prosperous, although they are not in Luo Country, but can provide some luck point for Ji Zhao, therefore Ji Zhao gave their certain attention, even added for them with luck point holds the ancestor to bless. 楚国的洛氏很是兴盛,虽然他们不在洛国之中,但还是能为姬昭提供一些气运点,所以姬昭给予了他们一定的关注,甚至用气运点为他们加持了祖宗保佑。 Enters clear/pain to start from Luo Yan, Chu Country Luo is the Chu Country top rich and powerful family. 从洛宴入楚开始,楚国洛氏一直都是楚国的顶尖豪门。 Facts showed that the letter/believes of past King of Chu as well as afterward Marquis of Chu to Luo heavy right. 事实证明,当年的楚王以及后来的楚侯对洛氏的信重都没错。 These year of Chu Country lands developed one time, in the past stopped Hanyang various Ji who Chu Country went north, majority has submitted in Chu Country, as attached existed. 这些年楚国的土地拓展了一倍有余,当年阻拦楚国北上的汉阳诸姬,大部分都已经归附于楚国,作为附属存在。 Shen Country and along with country these two biggest Hanyang various Marquisate, had been surrounded by Chu Country all round, particularly along with country, completely situated in surrounding of Chu Country and during dependent country. 申国、随国这两个最大的汉阳诸侯国,已经被楚国团团包围,尤其是随国,完全处于楚国和附属国的包围之中。 If not Yǐng Country support until now, only feared that could not insist to become the Chu Country dependent country. 如果不是颖国一直以来的支援,只怕也坚持不住成为楚国的附属国了。 Now keeps off in front of Chu Country, has Shen Country, along with the country, Yǐng Country, Zheng Country and Chen Country, truly credible is also Yǐng Country and Zheng Country, this is also the object who Luo Xiu needs to win over. 现在挡在楚国面前的,有申国、随国、颖国、郑国、陈国,其中真正靠谱的也就是颖国和郑国,这也是洛休需要争取的对象。 When once Chu Country conforms with these feudal lords, advances to the Central Plain, since Cai Country walks, Chen Country collapses at the first blow, Song Country has been emaciated, is not definitely able to prevent, then Luo Country must face directly the Chu Country soldier/weapon front. 一旦等到楚国整合这些诸侯,挺进中原,从蔡国走,陈国不堪一击,宋国一直羸弱,肯定无法阻挡,那么洛国就要直面楚国的兵锋了。 Yingdu. 郢都。 Knowing Luo Country must send, and an intention that revolution the person always becomes a ghost knows that Luo Xiu wants to make anything, therefore made the grandsons lift to arrive in the King of Chu palace. 得知洛国要派人来,人老成精的洛与心念一转就知道洛休想要做什么,于是让孙子们抬着自己来到了楚王宫中。 In the past King Xi ceded Tang Country to Chu Country, therefore Chu Country had not investigated the matter that finally mourned the crown prince, accepted the official view of Zhou Royal Family. 当年僖王将唐国割让给了楚国,所以楚国最后没有追究悼太子的事情,接受了周王室的官方说法。 From now on Chu Country will say with the king, exchanges with Various Countries of Xia with the marquis, quite flexible is cutting between two status. 自此楚国内部用王自称,与诸夏列国交流用侯,相当灵活的在两个身份之间切换着。 With once held the post of the Chu Country Prime Minister more than 20 years, prestige prosperous, entering the royal palace looks like goes home to be the same, he full is on the face of age-spots, a expression does not have, dignified silence dreadful. 洛与曾经担任楚国国相二十多年,威望隆盛,进入王宫就像是回家一样,他满是老人斑的脸上,一丝表情也没有,威严肃静的让人害怕。 Present Chu Country Queen Mother is the Luo daughter of first wife, present King of Chu is with biological nephew, from a young age on with under the guidance grows up. 现在的楚国王太后是洛氏的嫡女,如今的楚王则是洛与的亲外甥,自小就在洛与的教导下长大。 „Uncle, you get old, is not healthy, should rest much is.” “舅父,您上了年纪,身体又不好,应该多多休息才是。” King of Chu saw own always some uncles of fear personally arrived in the palace unexpectedly, asked hastily: „What important matter this is, can the work you walk one?” 楚王见到自己一向有些畏惧的舅舅竟然亲自来到了宫中,连忙问道:“这是什么大事,能劳您走一趟呢？” With the age indeed was very big, now almost all things do not inquire, several years ago the Chu Country war suffered setbacks, suffers heavy casualties cannot make him speak a few words. 洛与的年纪的确是很大了,现在几乎所有事情都不过问,就连前几年楚国战事受挫,损兵折将也没能让他说一句话。 With lying down on cot, sinking sound said: „Monarch, you know that the Luo Country monarch does send people to give the old man to offer birthday congratulations?” 洛与躺在榻上,沉声道:“国君,您知道洛国国君派了人来给老夫祝寿吗？” King of Chu nods saying: „Large numbers of troops enter a country naturally to inform, you are the Luo elder, your birthday marquis sends people to congratulate is also very normal matter.” 楚王点点头道:“大批人马入境自然是会通知的,您是洛氏的长辈,您大寿洛侯派人来祝贺也是很正常的事。” „Normal?” “正常？” And the corners of the mouth raise to taunt, he is the Luo descendants, does not know that what person all previous Luo family lords are? 洛与嘴角升起一丝嘲讽,他可是洛氏的子孙,难道不知道历代洛氏家主都是什么样的人吗？ In the surface said that the Chu Country good fortune has the merit painstakingly, so long as Chu Country has the thoughts that dares to go north, immediately is the innumerable feudal lords jointly surrounds! 表面上说楚国幸苦有功绩,但只要楚国有一丝敢北上的心思,立刻就是无数诸侯联合围堵！ Hits Mán and Yi, Ok. 打蛮夷,可以。 Promotes All Xia, Ok. 振兴诸夏,可以。 To study late monarch Xiong Dun to aspire to seize the Central Plain? Ok, treads from the Luo corpse! 想要学先君熊顿问鼎中原？可以,从洛氏的尸体上踏过去！ „If before, that indeed is normal, but these date and time, the change of Central Plain feudal lord haven't you heard?” “如果是之前,那的确是正常,但这些时日,中原诸侯的异动您没有听说吗？” „You meant that Marquis of Qi does hold the matter that makes treaties of alliance in the dark green wing?” “您是说齐侯在苍翼举行会盟的事情？” King of Chu thinks, probably also the matter that only then this is worth paying attention to slightly, „heard that altogether only has eight feudal lords to arrive, might as well my taking a seat time various Marquisate are many.” 楚王想了想,大概也就只有这一件稍微值得关注的事情,“听说一共只有八个诸侯到场,还不如寡人即位时候来的诸侯国多。” King of Chu takes a seat, are more than various Marquisate that Zhou's Son of Heaven takes a seat, thus it can be seen Chu Country power and influence. 楚王即位的时候,比周天子即位来的诸侯国还要多,由此可见楚国的威势。 „Monarch, so do not despise!” “国君,不要如此轻视！” And serious reminder: „ These feudal lords are almost Ji, they submit are because the royal family and Central Plain feudal lord cannot preserve their national territory. 洛与郑重的提醒道:“那些诸侯几乎都是姬姓,他们屈服是因为王室和中原诸侯不能保存他们的国土。 If the Central Plain is powerful, they will not look like now are so obedient. 若是中原强盛,他们就不会像现在这么听话了。 Marquis of Qi calls the feudal lord with the name of Son of Heaven, Luo Country supports this behavior, this proof Central Plain feudal lord had started the conformity. 齐侯以天子之名召集诸侯,洛国支持这种行为,这证明中原诸侯已经开始了整合。 In the future will decide however is the Central Plain overlord, is not inferior in Chu Country in the southern position, that Chu Country wants to go north to dominate must face the entire Central Plain. 日后定然是中原霸主,不逊色于楚国在南方的地位,那楚国想要北上称霸就要面对整个中原。 The monarchs, you thought that Chu Country can defeat the entire Central Plain? ” 国君,你觉得楚国能战胜整个中原吗？” Heard with say, King of Chu terrified one startled, although he was self-confident, but in heart clear, Chu Country was not possible with the entire Central Plain test of strength. 听到洛与所说,楚王悚然一惊,他虽然自信,但是心中清楚,楚国是万万不可能与整个中原角力的。 „Uncle, how can we do?” On the mouth is asking, in his eye has started to glitter the cold light, since these Hanyang various Ji are unreliable, might as well for a penny and for a pound, forever the never recurring trouble! “舅父,那我们应当如何做呢？”嘴上问着,他的眼中已经开始闪烁着寒光,既然那些汉阳诸姬靠不住,不如一不做二不休,永绝后患！ Once this idea raises unable to stop completely, with looked the King of Chu expression knows he is thinking anything. 这种想法一旦升起就完全停不下来,洛与一看楚王表情就知道他在想什么。 Gets angry: „What's wrong? Do you want to massacre them? various Ji also refused to accept Marquis of Qi, you begin, instantaneous everybody feels insecure, the Qi Country rulers and ministers feared that must ridicule you daily.” 怒道:“怎么？你想杀掉他们？原本诸姬还不服齐侯,你一动手,瞬间人人自危,齐国君臣怕是要日日嘲笑伱了。” „Uncle, I do not dare.” With loses one's temper, King of Chu knows oneself think was somewhat simple, said embarrasedly. “舅父,寡人不敢。”洛与一动怒,楚王知道自己想的有些简单了,讪讪道。 „Puts one's mouth close to another's ear.” “附耳过来。” Hears and idea, the light in King of Chu eye is getting more and more bright. 听到洛与的想法,楚王眼中的光越来越亮。 Ji Zhao is looking at this, the feeling, is really the will of the people are instable, Luo is also no exception. 姬昭望着这一幕,不禁感慨,真是人心易变,洛氏也不能例外。 Initially Luo Yan just entered official Chu Country time, but can also coordinate Chu Country and Central Plain feudal lord's relations, that is also the Central Plain feudal lord and Chu Country honeymoon. 当初洛宴刚刚入仕楚国的时候,还能协调楚国与中原诸侯的关系,那也是中原诸侯与楚国的蜜月期。 Arrived with this generation, had taken Chu Country as completely first, when the next generation, they became the Chu Country aristocrat thoroughly, was only left over the fragrant state with Luo. 到了洛与这一代,已经完全以楚国为先,等到下一代,他们就彻底成了楚国的贵族,和洛氏就只剩下一点香火情了。 First does not raise changes the issue, even if not change, as the true direct descendant juniors, when with seeing oneself three son of first wife forehead does not have red, knows that own sons had lost the attention of uncrowned king. 先不提改氏的问题,即使不改,身为真正的嫡系子弟,当洛与见到自己的三个嫡子眉心处都没有红点的时候,就知道自己的儿子们已经失去了素王的关注。 His some are not unacceptable, but he is impossible to betray oneself surname. 他有些无法接受,但是他又不可能背叛自己的姓氏。 Only can as far as possible while powerful Chu Country, does not injure Zhou Royal Family and Luo Country, and other Chu Country had in any case the strength goes north, his big probability had died, the matter does not turn over to him to manage. 只能尽量在强大楚国的同时,不伤害周王室和洛国,反正等楚国有实力北上的时候,他大概率已经卒了,身后事不归他管。 ...... …… clear/pain strong, however 400 years can not enter the Central Plain, what? 楚强,然四百年不得入中原,何也？ Mu sets at the Hanshui River five countries, Duke of Civil supposes Hanyang four Ji, Duke Ming unites the Ji four countries, all by numerous weak system. 穆公置汉水五国,文公设汉阳四姬,明公联姬姓四国,皆以众弱制一强矣。 The class/flow of political opportunists from now on beginning.- «Book of Han Skill Wenzhi» 纵横家之流自此始。-《汉书・艺文志》 I really like Chu Country very much, from their Taiyi Supreme God culture, particularly Chu Ci. 我真的是很喜欢楚国,从他们的太一至高神文化,尤其是楚辞。 Since likes so much, that miserable, after all the Spring and Autumn Period overlord who he punches is daily, makes treaties of alliance to expel barbarians punches Chu Country. 既然这么喜欢,那就把他揍的惨一点吧,毕竟春秋霸主日常,会盟攘夷揍楚国。 ( This chapter ends) (本章完)
