Chapter 1056: Nan Bohou
Zhun Ti pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "The Blood Sea Asura Clan has invaded the human world and disturbed the Three Realms. When the Jade Emperor of Haotian Jinque is invited to come forward, remove the demon guard, and return the Three Realms to a Qingping. ”
Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled: "What Senior Brother said is reasonable! Even if Heavenly Court does not send troops, it will definitely be able to beat Styx and others into the Demon Outer Dao." As soon as the righteousness was lost, his foundation in Xiniu Hezhou was shaken. It will be much easier to remove it in the future. ”
At that moment, Zhun Ti raised his hand to summon a person, but it was Ma Yuan, a peripheral disciple of the Interception Sect who had been recovered before, who was used to digging people's hearts and livers and eating raw, and said to him: "You go to Heaven quickly and force the Jade Emperor to send troops to exterminate the Blood Sea Demon Dao." Remember, don't be too arrogant. ”
Ma Yuan took the order and left. After a while, he came to the heavenly court, and after the report of the Nantianmen guard, he introduced Ma Yuan into the main hall and met the Jade Emperor. That is, Ji Shou said: "The poor Taoist Western sect Ma Yuan has seen the Jade Emperor. ”
The Jade Emperor nodded and said, "Since you are a Western sect, why don't you enjoy happiness in the Elysian World, what is the matter with coming to my Heavenly Court?"
Ma Yuandao: "Poor Dao has come to report to the Jade Emperor on the orders of the two sect masters: the ancestor of the Blood Sea Styx and the rebellious Kunpeng of the demon clan have disturbed the Three Realms, and brazenly sent troops to occupy Xiniu Hezhou without authorization, making the people's grievances boiling, and the people's hearts and minds resentful. The head of my family has mercy on the people in the world and wants to ask the Jade Emperor to send troops to exterminate the Blood Sea Demon Dao. ”
When the Jade Emperor heard this, he sneered in his heart: It is a good calculation to take Zhun Ti, let me be a gunman? ”
The officer on duty looked at the Jade Emperor in amazement, the matter of sending troops from the Sea of Blood had already been reported! But looking at the Jade Emperor's unquestionable face, he had to go to the palace to investigate.
In the hall, the Jade Emperor smiled bitterly at Ma Yuan: "You have also seen that I am short of manpower in this Heavenly Court, and it is not enough to investigate the Three Realms, how can I have the strength to exterminate the Styx Ancestor." Hey, I'm incompetent as the Jade Emperor!"
After that, he sighed for a long time.
The immortal officials in the palace were born in the sect, and immediately came out and played: "Your Majesty has every opportunity and is diligent in political affairs, and he is a model for the monarch." However, there are many unruly and unruly people in the Three Realms, who despise the royal law, how can they blame Your Majesty. It is a fact that there is a shortage of manpower in today's court, and the Blood Sea Clan is also a category of beings in the Three Realms, and they are also the people of His Majesty, so they should be treated equally. However, since it was the Western Sect that proposed to exterminate the Styx Ancestor, this, the saint had to obey it. Then why didn't Your Majesty issue an edict and order the Western Sect to organize its own resistance to the Styx Ancestor. In this way, His Majesty's heart of caring for the people of the Three Realms can be regarded as complete. ”
After some tugging in the heavenly court, the Jade Emperor was under pressure, and he was indeed dissatisfied with the Styx Ancestor sending troops to occupy Xiniu Hezhou without authorization, and immediately listened to the opinions of the courtiers and ordered the Western Sect to organize its own people to exterminate the Blood Sea Asura Clan.
Ma Yuan grinded hard and soaked, expecting the Jade Emperor to send troops. The Jade Emperor talked about him left and right, and shirked in every way.
Ma Yuan had no choice but to receive the holy decree and return to Elysium.
After receiving and listening to the return of the horse aid, he didn't care. While publicizing the will of the Jade Emperor, he was thinking about a solution.
And with the passage of time, the foundation of the Styx Ancestor and Kunpeng in Xiniu Hezhou has become more and more stable, and the widespread spread of the teachings has also made the people of Xiniu Hezhou more and more identify with the Asura tribe. Although under the teachings of this doctrine, the natives became more and more warlike and murderous. However, because Xiniu Hezhou is located in a wild place, the folk customs are already strong, and the impact is not great.
In this case, the battle of Dongtudaomen also became more and more intense.
Su Hu supported Ji Boyi to be the king, and raised an army of 200,000 to conquer Ji Fa under the banner of rebellion. All the way, Song Kai won the Qinglong Pass, approached the hinterland of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the military power was greatly enhanced.
Jiang Ziya led the remnants of the army to retreat to Xiqi City, and the other main army of 400,000 was led by Ji Fa himself in Mianchi and held against Jiang Hengchu, the Eastern Bohou, and heard that Qinglong Pass had fallen, the flanks were empty, and he was facing the enemy on both sides.
Everyone agreed. At that moment, the army pulled out of camp and retreated cleanly in a day and night.
When the Shang Dynasty army on the opposite side noticed something strange and sent people to investigate, Michi was already an empty city.
Jiang Hengchu was shocked when he heard the report, and while sending people to report the battle situation to the court, he did not move his troops and only strengthened the city defense. There was not a hint of sending troops across the river to occupy the pond.
For a while, everyone discussed a lot, and they didn't know what Jiang Hengchu meant.
Chao Lei, Chao Tian and other generals discussed, wanting to ask the truth, and they were afraid that they had violated the military law of asking the military aircraft without permission, so they went to find the eldest prince Yin Jiao.
Yin Jiao listened to the words of the generals, went to the big tent of the Chinese army to see Jiang Hengchu, and said: "Yin Jiao has seen the main general! I heard that the Western Zhou army has retreated, why did our army not pursue it by the river?"
Jiang Hengchu saw His Royal Highness asking, muttered for a moment or two, and then said: "You have a calm temperament, but today you came to inquire about the military situation, because you were encouraged by others!"
Yin Jiao laughed when he heard this: "Grandpa knows me!" But now that all the generals in the army are complaining, Grandpa still explains it clearly. ”
Jiang Hengchu sighed and said: "Yu Junluo, talking about the world's famous generals, I really can't rank in the forefront. With the current strength of our army, it is a great blessing to be able to hold on to the enemy and be able to defend it all. Ji Fa's army retreated day and night, and we didn't know that his ability to command troops can be seen. Moreover, Mianchi County is small, and it is separated by the Yellow River, there is the danger of five passes in front, and there is a threat of Su Hu in the north, which is really undefensible. The southern Hubei Chongyu is also not stable, for the sake of the stability of Yin Shangsheji, our army must not move lightly, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of. ”
When Yin Jiao heard this, he suddenly realized, thought about it carefully, and asked: "I also know that the state affairs are difficult, but if I blindly stick to it, when will I be able to suppress the rebellion and maintain the dynasty?"
Jiang Hengchu sighed and said: "Today's chaos is great, and the national strength of Yin Shang has been greatly damaged, with no more than 500,000 soldiers, which is only comparable to the great princes of one side, and there are still a large number of slave soldiers, and their combat power is not strong. Fortunately, Bo Yikao and the Ji Fa brothers turned against each other and attacked each other, so that I, Yin Shang, had a chance to breathe. The only way to do this is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Let them dog-eat-dog!"
When Yin Jiao heard this, he bowed and said: "My grandfather is old enough to seek the country, and Yin Jiao is convinced." I will now go and explain to the generals, so as not to make the army unstable. ”
Here, Yin Shang continued to linger, but the battle spirit in Qinglong Pass was awe-inspiring. With the prestige of victory, Zuo Jun, a general in the Soviet Protector Army, was overjoyed, and everyone was gearing up to take Xiqi directly.
However, the road from Qinglong Pass to Xiqi is difficult and dangerous, and it is just normal if it is normal. But at this time, Jiang Ziya obviously had taken precautions, and sent the people to build two passes in Huanghua Mountain and Juelong Ridge, coupled with the dangerous terrain, and taking this road again would undoubtedly be killed.
Coupled with the spies' return, Ji Fa has retreated to the five levels, and the closing is heavily defended. With an army of 200,000 to lay down the five passes heavily defended, it is simply impossible, not to mention that Jiang Hengchu's army is eyeing Mengjin.
In this situation, Su Hu and the others were worried.
The three guarded against each other, and it became a stalemate for a while. No one dared to move lightly on the battlefield, so they all turned their eyes to Nanbohou E Chongyu, and there was an endless stream of envoys from various families.
Nan Bohou made a good calculation, supported the army and respected himself and left and right.
However, the hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands are really eye-catching, for the heroes who aspire to dominate the world, this power that can control the world cannot be in their own hands, who can really rest assured?
Nanbohou E Chongyu is old in power and scheming, and if he leaves the three families, he has nothing to do. In this case, those who have a heart will inevitably have to come up with some shady means.
On this day, the son of Nanbohou Eshun went out hunting, walked to a fork in the road, saw a pool of black blood underground, a puppet next to it was vivid, eye-catching, and the weeds around were crooked, as if after a fierce struggle.
E Shun was suspicious, dismounted to pick up the puppet to check, and unexpectedly dizzy and fainted to the ground. The entourage hurriedly rescued him and shouted back to the Hou Mansion.
E Chongyu heard that the prince fainted, came to inquire, just approached the bed, the comatose E Shun suddenly jumped up, pulled out the sword hanging at the head of the bed and stabbed E Chongyu to death, everyone was shocked.
Na Eshun stabbed E-Chongyu to death, as if he had lost his mind, and swung his sword to slash at the guards of the generals.
When the generals saw that Eshun was so crazy and killed their father, they couldn't help but be angry, and under the leadership of the rest of Echongyu's sons, Eshun was divided into corpses.
E Chongyu died, and the son of E Shun also died, and the two hundred vassal states in the south were in chaos. Each supported his own son or stood on his own, attacked each other, and the war continued for a while.
At this time, Mao Gong, the envoy of the Western Zhou Dynasty, appeared in the Nanbo Marquis Mansion in time and announced his support for the second son E Guang to succeed to the title of Marquis of Nanbo. Although Eguang said that it was strange that the envoys of the Western Zhou Dynasty came so quickly, he was also quite happy to receive assistance, and immediately joined the Western Zhou Dynasty and accepted Ji Fa's canonization.
With the support of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Eguang quickly contacted more than 80 princes close to him to worship his ancestors and ascend the throne.
The envoys of Yin Shang were one step late, and when Wei Ziyan and others stepped into the territory of Nanbohou, Eguang had already taken the title under Ji Fa's canonization.
Wei Ziyan had no choice but to transfer out the Sanshan Pass garrison and force more than 70 princes in the southeast to make them unable to go to Echeng to congratulate, and by the way, he incorporated the army of this part of the princes.
Only more than 50 princes further south formed a single body, contacted the previously defeated Yi people, and established Jinghou Hou Xiong Ze as king in Jingshan.
The southern forces reshuffled, Xiqi struck first to gain the greatest benefits, and Yin Shang also gained great benefits by seeing the opportunity. Only the Northern Zhou, which supported the Boyi Kao, was far away from the south and did not have a border, so it was too late to get the news. Su Hu and the others had to sigh.
And the Western Zhou Dynasty won the Eshun surrender, and in an instant, there were 200,000 more elite troops, and the strength rose again, far ahead of the other two countries.
In comparison of troops, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was the weakest.
Fortunately, the three families were contained, and it was impossible for Western Zhou and Yin Shang to focus all their energy on the Su Protector, and the situation was not critical.
However, the offensive and defensive momentum had to be transposed, fortunately, Qinglong Pass and Chentang Pass were captured, and there was a danger to defend, so the Su Hu army stepped up to consolidate the city defense to prevent the enemy from attacking.
