Chapter 99 Chu Country: The Central Plain, I came back 第99章楚国:中原,我又回来了 From the place of Yǐngshui, trim Hanyang plain almost in the hand of Chu Country, but Chu people to here development also not too enough, primarily adopts the military to be stationed, the tax revenue is few, mainly to obtain the soldier from here. 从颖水之地开始,整片汉阳平原几乎都在楚国的手中,不过楚人对这里的开发还不太够,主要采取军事驻扎,税收很少,主要是为了从这里获得兵员。 Following the Hanshui River, but below Nanyang Basin is the Chu Country core area, here has the fertile soil of thousand li (500 km), countless farmers in the practical training, the cool breeze has stroked, green and luxuriant prosperous times scene. 顺着汉水而下的南阳盆地才是楚国的核心地区,这里有千里的沃土,无数的农人在其中劳作,清风拂过,郁郁葱葱一副盛世景象。 Chu Country many years has not recruited the soldiers of nation to go to battle, compare lunar new year rivers of blood, pile the corpse closure the war, look like the child to cross each family. 楚国已经很多年没有征召全国之兵出征了,相比旧年血流成河,堆尸断流的战争,就像是小孩子过家家般。 Chu Country intimate Jianghan Plain, this is the Chu Country supreme headquarters, almost the sharpest armed soldiers stem from here, here also bore entire Chu Country to surpass six grain. 楚国腹心的江汉平原,这是楚国的大本营,几乎最精锐的甲士都是出自这里,这里还负担了整个楚国超过六层的粮食。 Yingdu, Chu Country royal palace. 郢都,楚国王宫。 Because places the remote area outside Central Plain, in the complex situation to Central Plain too did not understand, the war that therefore the Chu Country rulers and ministers initiate regarding the Central Plain suddenly, feels very odd. 由于身处中原之外的偏远之地,对中原之中的复杂形势不太了解,所以楚国君臣对于中原骤然发起的大战,感到很是奇怪。 Before was some small friction of border, most was wars between 12 cities. 之前一直都是边境的一些小摩擦,最多不过是一两座城池之间的战争。 But how within the short time develops to the three-country bloody battles now, situation that even the Zhou's Son of Heaven direct fate interferes with. 可现在怎么短短时间之内就发展到三国血战,甚至周天子都直接下场干涉的地步了。 This looks like two person quarrel/corners of the mouth two, a parental family member of gentle regards opposite party, both sides extract the knife mutually finally suddenly, the bright red blood crash-bang gushes out, stops cannot stop. 这就像是两个人口角两句,互相文质彬彬的问候一下对方的父母家人,结果突然双方抽出刀子,鲜红的血哗啦涌出,止都止不住。 „ What matter Chen Country made, letting Zheng Country can the whole nation cut down it? “陈国做了何事,让郑国能举国伐之呢？ I remember that Zheng Country is always in a state of disunity, among officials mutual battle, this time can act in unison unexpectedly? ” 寡人记得郑国一向是一盘散沙,卿族之间互相争斗不已,这次竟然能行动一致？” Chen Country senior official this time comes to request Chu Country to dispatch troops, in the heart has confidence very much. 陈国大夫此次前来请求楚国出兵,心中还是很有把握的。 And because not only Chen Country is the Chu Country vassal state, because also he is quite understands to King of Chu now. 并不仅仅因为陈国是楚国的属国,还因为他对当今楚王算是比较了解。 Before this King of Chu, is not the crown prince, moreover not by the love of late king, particularly after mother dies, is hard to start, finally can live under the asylum of Xiang. 这位楚王之前并不是太子,而且还不受先王的宠爱,尤其是在母亲薨后,举步维艰,最终是在项氏的庇护之下才能活下来。 He grows up in Xiangjia since childhood, studies with the juniors of Xiang together, therefore worships the uncrowned king crazily, is the moral bottom line very high king. 他从小在项家长大,跟着项氏的子弟一同读书,所以疯狂的崇拜素王,是个道德底线很高的君王。 For taking advantage of the soldier, Chen Country senior official does not care about the Chen Country ducal family face, fabricated a rumor to complain tearfully to King of Chu directly: „ King. 为了借兵,陈国大夫也不顾及陈国公室的脸面,直接向楚王造谣哭诉:“大王。 Zheng Country really goes too far, first generation Marquis of Zheng Zheng Ji Jiaru Chen Country is whose child because Zheng Ji on the bosom had not known. 郑国实在是欺人太甚,前代郑侯将郑姬嫁入陈国是因为郑姬已经怀上了不知道谁的孩子。 The foreign subjects once heard, Zheng Ji and oneself two elder brother have an affair, perhaps is in their two people one. 外臣曾经听闻,郑姬与自己的两个兄长有染,或许就是他们两人之中的一个。 Zheng Country is wish makes this evil child the Chen Country young master, eventually achieves to annex the Chen Country goal. ” 郑国是想要让这个孽子成为陈国的公子,最终达到吞并陈国的目的。” Hears here, the Chu Country rulers and ministers above main hall is a really such expression, the Ji motherland ducal family filthy chaotic acrobatics are common. 听到这里,大殿之上的楚国君臣都是一副果然如此的表情,姬姓宗国公室秽乱的把戏屡见不鲜。 „ In years past the matter of Jin Country Wu, Young Master, cannot compare the Zheng Country half a point to be virulent. “昔年晋国公子舞之事,也比不上郑国的半分恶毒。 Zheng Ji confused late monarch, but the monarch saw through their conspiracy, therefore put to death late monarch, kills that child. 郑姬迷惑了先君,但是国君识破了他们的阴谋,于是诛杀了先君,又杀死那个孩子。 Because Zheng Country is a great nation, therefore the monarch does not dare to kill Zheng Ji, but puts under house arrest her in the harem. 因为郑国是大国,所以国君不敢杀死郑姬,只是将她软禁在后宫之中。 Because Marquis of Zheng actually the conspiracy was seen through, therefore dies indignantly, this thinks that is Heaven is punishing him. ” 郑侯却因为阴谋被识破,于是气愤而薨,这想必是上天在惩罚他。” Chen Country senior official starts to distort the facts with the art of language directly, cannot say that Marquis of Chen acted recklessly the beauty to kill the father, wrested away the father's concubine before father's body impatiently. 陈国大夫直接开始用语言的艺术颠倒黑白,总不能说陈侯胡为了美色杀死父亲,又在父亲的尸体之前就迫不及待地霸占了庶母。 Regardless of how the Chu Country rulers and ministers in the heart think, even if for the face countenance above history book, will drive out him directly. 楚国君臣不论心中怎么想,哪怕是为了史书之上的颜面,也会直接将他赶出去。 Chen Country senior official intimate continuation is Chu Country dispatches troops to find the excuse, „ monarch thinks that saw through the conspiracy of Zheng Country then to finish, has not actually thought that Marquis of Zheng produced extremely shameless, took the reason to attack Chen Country with this forcefully. 陈国大夫贴心的继续为楚国出兵找着理由,“国君以为识破郑国的阴谋便结束了,却没想到郑侯产太过无耻,用这个作为理由强行来进攻陈国。 Obviously is their mistakes, finally created the Chen Country rulers and ministers remnantly, actually puts the blame on the reason to Chen Country on, this as a result of the Chen Country small and weak reason. 明明是他们的错,最终造成了陈国的君臣相残,却将原因归咎到陈国身上,这都是由于陈国弱小的缘故。 Chen Country always respectful and submissive treatment Chu Country, is you most faithful vassal state, Chu Country is in All Xia the strongest country. 陈国一向恭顺的对待楚国,是您最忠实的藩属,楚国是诸夏之中最强的国家。 You are the king who and Zhou's Son of Heaven posts, your brilliance zhang (3.33 m), can shine to Chen Country on absolutely. ” 您是和周天子所并列的王,您的光辉万万丈,想必是可以照耀到陈国身上的。” These words are really the affection and potassium alum, however said the matter of these drifting along when the Chu Country palace, making the Chu Country rulers and ministers eat the melon can only look at each other in blank dismay. 这一番话真的是深情并茂,但是在楚国的殿堂之上说出这些苟且之事,让楚国君臣吃瓜之余只能面面相觑。 King of Chu is really similar, whole face dislike that Chen Country senior official expects, indignant sound said: „ Nausea disgusting, is this so-called Ji motherland? 楚王果然如同陈国大夫所预料的,满脸厌恶,愤声道:“恶心呐恶心,这就是所谓的姬姓宗国吗？ They have not said that Chu Country is the Mán and Yi state, how is Chu Country even inferior? ” 他们不是一直说楚国是蛮夷的国度,怎么连楚国都不如呢？” In the Chu Country lingyin Xiang Cheng tone brings to sigh with emotion excitedly: „ Leads a befuddled life as if drunk or dreaming! 楚国令尹项程语气之中带着兴奋感慨着:“醉生梦死！ King, Luo Country and Jin Country roughly exterminate jointly cleanly Mán and Yi of Central Plain, is maintaining the peace in Central Plain, their protected was good. 王上,洛国和晋国联手把中原的蛮夷大致清剿干净,又维持着中原的和平,他们被保护的太好了。 If a national not exterior threat, without a virtuous official, will certainly decline gradually, this is the truth between world. ” 如果一个国家没有外部的威胁,又没有贤名的臣子,就一定会渐渐地衰落下去,这就是天地之间的道理。” The Chu Country national strength one is prosperous daily, Central Plain feudal lord's national strength actually gradual decline, ratio better news? 楚国的国势一日日兴盛起来,中原诸侯的国势却逐渐的衰落下去,难道还有比这个更好的消息吗？ Arranges in order the Prime Minister struggle, is a ratio rotten process, the most rotten country predeceases, the remaining countries continue compared with rottenly, slightly without the victory that rotten that can be the last. 列国相争,就是一个比烂的过程,最烂的国家先死掉,剩下的国家继续比烂,稍微没有那么烂的那个就会获得最后的胜利。 King of Chu hears word proud saying: „ Chu Country more than 700 years of doing pioneering work despite great hardships, have the Uncle your honest and upright gentleman to advance uninterruptedly like this, has Chu Country present prosperous. 楚王闻言自豪的说道:“楚国七百多年的筚路蓝缕,正是有舅父您这样的忠正之士前赴后继,才有楚国如今的繁盛。 Various Countries of Xia founds a nation and enlightened world with the welldoing, now Zheng Country lost the welldoing, Zhou's Son of Heaven also so shielded him, this was incorrect. 诸夏列国是用德行来立国和教化天下的,现在郑国失去了德行,周天子还如此的袒护他,这是不对的。 As the All Xia great nation, should maintain the justice, remonstrates Zhou's Son of Heaven to walk on the correct path. ” 身为诸夏大国,理应维护公平正义,劝谏周天子走在正确的道路上。” Xiang Cheng very satisfied nod, after over a hundred years of cultural reforms, present Chu Country aristocrat did not have iron that finally, understands must own pack, wrapped up a principle of righteousness the coat. 项程很是满意的点点头,经过上百年的文化改革,现在的楚国贵族头终于没有那么铁了,明白了要将自己包装起来,裹上一层大义的外衣。 Xiang Cheng said: „ Chen Country is the Chu Country vassal state, «Way of the King» has said explicitly, the suzerain to the duty that the vassal state must help, therefore Chu Country should dispatch troops to help Chen Country. 项程说道:“陈国是楚国的属国,《王道》中明确说过,宗主国对属国要帮助的义务,所以楚国是理应出兵帮助陈国的。 Son of Heaven made the unendurable mistake, was the official should remonstrate, you were Bang Zhou Marquis of Chu, was the Chu Country monarch, should go to the Central Plain to remonstrate, to prevent to suffer killing secretly of villain, took 200,000 armies to protect along, this was very reasonable. 天子犯下了难以忍受的错误,身为臣子是理应劝谏的,您是邦周的楚侯,是楚国的国君,理应前往中原劝谏,为了防止遭受小人的暗害,带上二十万的大军随身保护,这是非常合理的。 The feudal officials invited monarch armed remonstrance Son of Heaven, making Son of Heaven realize that his mistake, to maintain Bang Zhou Mandate of Heaven! ” 臣请国君兵谏天子,使天子意识到他的过错,以维系邦周天命！” In the Chu Country whole body of ministers eye full is the frantic happy expression, Xiang is always opposed that Chu Country goes to the Central Plain, thinks that the time has not arrived, never expected that now actually the first positive suggestions, it seems like that this was the general trend. 楚国群臣眼中满是狂热的笑意,项氏一向都是反对楚国前往中原的,认为时机未到,没想到现在却第一个建言,看来这是大势所趋了。 Xiang may be called in Chu Country controls the forces of nature, Xiang Cheng this school of official kneels down and bow respect with both hands clasped in abundance said: „Also asked the monarch to dispatch troops, saves All Xia in the water and fire!” 项氏在楚国之中堪称呼风唤雨,项程这一派的臣子纷纷下拜道:“还请国君出兵,挽救诸夏于水火之中！” Then in the entire main hall, is remonstrates the sound that completely King of Chu dispatches troops. 然后整个大殿之中,全部都是劝谏楚王出兵的声音。 King of Chu naturally is unusual wants, does not have any Chu Country monarch to refuse to go to the Central Plain. 楚王自然是非常的愿意,没有任何一个楚国的国君能够拒绝前往中原。 But has experienced sufferings of the people him, is a wise king, somewhat anxious asking: „ Uncle, Jin Country is powerful, moreover always regards as own something for one's own exclusive use the place of Central Plain. 但经历过民间疾苦的他,是个英明的君王,有些忧虑的问道:“舅父,晋国的实力强大,而且一向将中原之地视作自己的禁脔。 Although in these more than hundred years among the relations clear/pain promote relaxed gradually, but if Chu Country to north, Jin Country will agree? 虽然这百多年中楚晋之间的关系渐渐缓和,但如果楚国向北,难道晋国会同意吗？ I naturally believe the heroics of Chu people, but Jin Country, Luo Country and Qi Country, even Wu County, this not in vain loses the Chu people life? ” 寡人自然是相信楚人的英勇,但是晋国、洛国、齐国,甚至还有吴国,这难道不是白白的葬送楚人的性命吗？” The infiltration of Chu Country to Jin Country is quite serious, particularly they add fuel to the flames the officials influence in Jin Country to strengthen, even has also led some small defeat, to let these and Jin Country ducal family offcenter heavy officials can a higher position. 楚国对晋国的渗透还是比较严重的,尤其是他们推波助澜晋国之中的卿族势力增强,甚至还主导过一些小的战败,就是为了让那些与晋国公室离心较重的卿族能够得到更高的地位。 This method is really virtually impossible to guard against, if Luo Yan wakes up in Valhalla, saw that own descendants' such effort wants to throw off the large amount, perhaps does not know that should cry to smile. 这种手段实在是防不胜防,若是洛宴在英灵殿中醒来,看到自己的子孙如此的努力想要掀翻大宗,恐怕不知道该哭还是该笑了。 Xiang Cheng said with a smile: „ King, did you forget Qin Country? 项程笑道:“王上,难道您忘记了秦国吗？ These year of two countries cooperative product development Shu plains, in addition the climate of Wei River plain changes for the better gradually, Qin Country these years strength inflation does not make sense, in addition many years with the Western Rong bloody battle, Qin people all brave, is the good war soldier. 这些年两国协同开发蜀都平原,再加上渭河平原的气候渐渐好转,秦国这些年的实力膨胀的不像话,加上多年与西戎血战,秦人个个骁勇,是上好的战兵。 If Qin people enters the Central Plain hand in hand together, the loss of Chu Country thinks that can greatly reduce. ” 若是携手秦人一同进入中原,楚国的损失想必就能大大降低了。” King of Chu is hesitates, both countries attacked and occupied Bashu culture, divided equally Shu plain, this gave east Qin Country another path. 楚王更是犹豫起来,两国攻占了巴蜀,平分了蜀都平原,这给了秦国东出的另外一条道路。 That walks the great river directly, went downstream from the Ba Country place then. 那就是直接走大江,从原先巴国的地方顺流而下即可。 However the exit|to speak of this path is Jianghan Plain, when Chu Country and Ba Country contend, built the mountain pass in the place of great river, preventing Ba Country to go downstream, is equivalent to Hangu Pass above great river. 但是这一条道路的出口是江汉平原,早在楚国和巴国相争的时候,就在大江的地方修筑了关隘,防止巴国顺流而下,相当于大江之上的函谷关。 If makes Qin Country take this road now, is equivalent to let Qin Country can come out from the family/home, must first wall between Chu Country and Qin Country pounds a hole, then Qin people takes the sword and spear to watch in Chu Country, then from front door leisurely departure however. 如果现在让秦国走这一条路,相当于为了让秦国能从家中出来,要先把楚国和秦国之间的墙壁砸个洞,然后秦人拿着刀枪在楚国家中观赏一圈,再从大门施施然的离开。 This is not past Wu County breaks through the Chudu difficult time after all, young King of Chu some are not unacceptable, why some Xiang Cheng strange King of Chu will hesitate, thinks to understand the worry of King of Chu slightly. 这毕竟已经不是当年吴国攻破楚都的艰难时刻,年轻的楚王有些无法接受,项程有些奇怪楚王为什么会犹豫,稍微想一想就明白了楚王的顾虑。 Therefore said with a smile: „ King, you think the feudal official is to make Qin Country go downstream from the great river? 于是笑道:“王上,您是否以为臣是让秦国从大江之上顺流而下呢？ Jianghan Plain is Chu Country is basic, here lives is not knowing many ancestor and relative emperor's relatives. 江汉平原是楚国根本,这里生活着不知道多少宗亲贵戚。 Will the feudal officials make the foreign hundreds of thousands of armies pass through? 臣怎么会让外国数十万的大军经过呢？ If had the mutiny carelessly, vacillated the Chu Country state, the feudal official had ten lives, can also probably? ” 若是一个不慎发生了兵变,动摇了楚国的社稷,臣就是有十条命,难道能还得起吗？” Has the sharp weapon, kills the heart from. 身怀利器,杀心自起。 The military deputies the danger and destruction, controlling the army are being a very difficult matter, moreover never think own true control. 军队代表着危险和破坏,控制军队是很难的一件事情,而且永远不要以为自己真正的控制住了。 King Li of Zhou as Son of Heaven, because in addition has not controlled the army, finally dies in the chaotic army, Xiang Cheng naturally not possible to take risk. 周厉王身为天子,尚且因为没有控制住军队,最终死于乱军之中,项程当然不可能去冒这个险。 „ King, Chu people never forgets to go north, you think that Qin people wants the generation after generations, lives in the western frontier region, slaughters with Western Rong of these bloodthirsty? “王上,楚人念念不忘北上,难道您以为秦人就愿意生生世世,在西陲生活,和那些嗜血的西戎厮杀吗？ Marries Qin Country from Madame Xuan Mi, Central Plain of Qin Country east on never forgetting, this is also the reason that Qin Country and Chu Country so many year of alliances have not burst. 从宣芈夫人嫁到秦国时起,秦国就念念不忘东出中原,这也是秦国和楚国这么多年联盟未曾破裂的原因。 Chu Country does not even need to inform Qin Country specially, now the Central Plain chaos, they will certainly knock at the gate. 楚国甚至都不需要特意的通知秦国,现在中原大乱,他们一定会叩关的。 By the Qin Country strength, the Jin Country at least half of military must put in Xiaohan Channel. 以秦国的实力,晋国至少有一半的兵力都要放到崤函通道之中。 Otherwise Hangu Pass again how precipitous, perhaps will also be broken through directly, you are know that the sharp weapon that now attacks a city was really many. ” 否则函谷关再如何险峻,恐怕也会被直接攻破,您是知道的,现在攻城的利器实在是太多了。” Hears this word, young martial-looking King of Chu does not have the worry finally again, stands up said loudly: „Taiyi on, the feudal officials obeys orders!” 听闻此言,年轻英武的楚王终于再无顾虑,站起身大声道:“太一在上,众臣听令！” „Feudal official in!” “臣在！” „ Imperial edict: Chu Country going north armed remonstrance Son of Heaven! “王命:楚国北上兵谏天子！ The Chu Country royal family, ducal clan and enfeoffed nobles, lead the private soldier to gather at Yingdu respectively. 楚国王室、公族、封君,各率私兵在郢都聚集。 The prefectures and counties life county garrison commander people recruit. 郡县命郡守将国人征召。 I lead 200,000 armies to send out Zheng Country armed remonstrance Son of Heaven. 寡人率二十万大军发往郑国兵谏天子。 The Minister of War rate/lead 200,000 armies send out Wu County. 司马率二十万大军发往吴国。 The high general rate/lead 100,000 armies guard Nanyang to guard against Jin Country. ” 上将军率十万大军驻守南阳防备晋国。” In Chu Country royal palace, instantaneous noisy, 5 million population, ten pull out dispatches troops, this does not go to the armed remonstrance! 楚国王宫之中,瞬间沸反盈天,五百万的人口,十抽一出兵,这可不是冲着兵谏去的！ ...... …… Hundred years later, is believing Taiyi Chu people, finally sets foot on the land that this piece made them be worried throughout again. 时隔百年,信仰着太一的楚人,终于再次踏上了这片始终让他们魂牵梦萦的土地。 Enfeoffs the Chu Country ancestor from the uncrowned king to the place of south desolate, all previous Chu Country monarchy never changes course after making a vow, must return the All Xia center, their innumerable failure, innumerable losing here. 从素王将楚国先祖分封到南荒之地起,历代楚国的君主就矢志不渝的,要重新回到诸夏的中央,他们无数次的失败,无数次的在这里失落。 This they regroup after a defeat time, the unprecedented great strength, principle unprecedented weak, they hug the confidence to win victories to come, to try to create a legend that belongs to Chu Country.- «Pre-Qin Various nations Flame» in Chu Country 这一次他们重整旗鼓,前所未有的强大,中原则前所未有的虚弱,他们抱着必胜的信心而来,试图创造一段属于楚国的传奇。-《先秦列国・火焰中的楚国》 Chu Country that I most love, he came back 我最爱的楚国,他又回来了 ( This chapter ends) (本章完)
