Chapter 561

At the mention of this matter, the princess's face sank and her anger remained.

"Envoys of the eastern Qin Dynasty?" Shen Ning is not the first time to hear this term, Chu Shaobai also mentioned it once, but she has not gone to heart.

At this time, when she saw the angry look on her face, she left her heart.

She searched the memory of the original owner, but vaguely knew that in addition to the Western Chu state, there were three other countries.

Among them, the eastern Qin state was the most powerful.

But what does this have to do with the state of Western Chu?

She comforted the eldest princess and asked her about the whole story.

As soon as the eldest princess mentioned the past, she was filled with indignation and gushed, holding her hand for an hour.

It happened 12 years ago, before mochuan became emperor.

At that time, the eastern Qin Dynasty and the Western Chu state were equally matched, and the two giants were tied together. Of course, Dongli was covetous of the Western Chu, and the Western Chu was also hostile to the eastern Qin.

The war between the two countries is imminent.

At that time, the Western Chu emperor was ambitious and wanted to annex the eastern Qin Dynasty to dominate the world.

In order to achieve the great cause, he personally led the army and led the expedition to the eastern Qin Dynasty.

But unexpectedly, in the most crucial battle of baishuiguan, the officers and men of Western Chu led by him were defeated miserably.

Not only the whole army was destroyed, but also he, the emperor of the Western Chu state, was abducted by the eastern Qin state, thus becoming a prisoner of the eastern Qin state.

When the emperor was abducted, the state of Western Chu was in danger. At any time, the country might be destroyed, and the people were displaced and became a subsidiary state of the eastern Qin Dynasty.

Without a leader, the state of Chu in the West should not have a monarch for a day.

It was the Empress Dowager of Zhou Dynasty who stepped forward with all the civil and military officials to help mochuan, who was the cousin of the former Emperor, to ascend the throne as emperor, putting the heavy burden and responsibility on his son, who was only a teenager.

It has to be said that empress dowager Zhou is a great woman with great foresight. In those years, she insisted on supporting her own son, mochuan, to ascend the throne, not for glory or wealth, but for the purpose of stabilizing the military and popular support of the state of Western Chu.

At that time, Shaoyang of Chu was still young, and as the son of the former Emperor, if he was called emperor, the eastern Qin Dynasty could threaten the Western Chu with the life of the former Emperor.

This is also one of the reasons why the officials opposed Chu Shaoyang's accession to the throne.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, the people's hearts of the Western Chu state were greatly settled.

Next, the Empress Dowager of Zhou appointed Shen Ning's father, general Shen, and sent him to lead his elite generals to meet the eastern Qin army.

Shen's army defeated many with less. He fought a beautiful turn over battle in the first World War of baishuiguan, and then drove the East Qin army to the border area in one breath.

Just as general Shen Da was ready to continue his March and go straight into the hinterland of the eastern Qin Dynasty to meet and rescue the former Emperor and return to the dynasty, things suddenly changed.

During the confrontation between the two armies, the state of Eastern Qin suddenly tied the emperor of Western Chu to the front of the battle. Yang Qian asked the state of Western Chu to withdraw. No soldiers or soldiers should be left. Otherwise, if one person was left, one hand of the emperor would be cut off. If two people were left, one foot of the emperor would be cut off!

Although general Shen was ordered by the Empress Dowager Zhou, he was also loyal to the former Emperor. How can he let the former Emperor be cut off and killed by the enemy in front of him?

He pulled out the army without hesitation.

Then the eastern Qin state put forward a more impolite request. They wanted the Western Chu to pay tribute to the eastern Qin year after year. The amount was huge, and they had to spend almost half of the national strength of the Western Chu every year.
