It was getting dark, and the Ghost Fang clan camped thirty miles outside the city, reorganizing their army and preparing to attack the city tomorrow. On the side of the border city, the soldiers gathered at Dianjiangtai. General Dongguo sat on the desk and said: "Now that the enemy army is in shock, General Gao Lian can lead 20 cavalry, crossbowmen, 100 infantry, and 1,000 people to attack the enemy's base camp, and they can be defeated in one fell swoop." ”

While the enemy soldiers were sleeping soundly in the tent, they listened to the shouts outside the tent. They hurriedly prepared for battle, and the soldiers outside the camp will rush in and slash and burn the company camp. The leader of the ghost side rushed out of the encirclement under the cover of the soldiers and fled in a hurry. The wizard Gongsun Leopard was captured, and the vitality of the ghost party was greatly damaged, and he moved to the west of Middle-earth, and his sphere of influence was greatly reduced, and some fled to the northern grasslands. The army chased here, and General Gao Lian faced the soldiers and said: "Poor Kou Mo chase, this place is boundless, it is difficult to find the target, and return the same way." "General Gao Lian led hundreds of light horsemen back to the border city. The growing strength of the Su clan is a great threat to the Shang Dynasty, and it has long been conquered and has the heart of the Su clan. Di Xin has the ambition to dominate the world, which is an unprecedented military disaster for the Su clan, and the people are inevitably suffering from war. The Su clan may have already understood that Di Xin had this intention, and in the face of a powerful dynasty, he gathered civil and military officials into the council hall. The Su clan walked up with a sad face, sat down slowly, and said, "Di Xin is about to attack the army, I don't know what you can do?" ”

"Di Xin is so happy, if he comes to attack, our army will meet the enemy in life and death, what is he afraid of?" A military attache stood up and made his debut.

"Both sides of this war will be weakened, if there is an enemy in the north to take advantage of the weakness, Jizhou will face a catastrophe, and it will be too late to regret it. Lord, don't easily provoke a war. ”

"I know this, Wang Aiqing, I don't know what strategy can be used to reduce this military disaster?"

"Lord, we have captured a wizard from the Ghost Fang Clan, why don't you invite him to take advantage of a hexagram and ask Qing Ji to try again."

"Okay, please invite the ghost wizard." Su Shi raised his head and looked straight ahead. The Ghost Wizard had already knelt outside the main hall to greet him, waiting to be executed. At this time, cold sweat broke out on the wizard's forehead, his kneeling legs trembled constantly, and his head hit the ground and he didn't dare to look straight ahead. Hearing that the Su family had passed him into the hall, he raised his head suddenly, with a smile on his face, thinking that there would be a blessing in the future if he did not die in this catastrophe, so he walked up the stone steps with his head held high, entered the hall and knelt down three times, and said, "Lord." ”

"Who is Your Highness kneeling to?"

"Gongsun Leopard, the wizard of the Ghost Fang Clan, is now a wizard of Jizhou, serving the lord."

"Okay, do you know that Yin Shang is about to send troops to Jizhou, I invite you to come and ask for good luck."

The wizard Gongsun Leopard took out a turtle shell from his long sleeves, his eyes were gently closed, and his mouth kept chattering, shaking the turtle shell three times, three times in the middle, and three times in the turtle shell, making the turtle shell sound loudly, and the three copper coins landed at the same time, and the wizard landed three copper coins separately. ”

"This is an auspicious hexagram, the auspicious hexagram is in the southeast, and the disaster can be resolved in the southeast."

After pondering for a moment, a civil official said, "Isn't the southeast the Dongyi tribes?" ”

When the sorcerer heard what this civil official said, he immediately reacted and said, "The lord can send a well-spoken minister to lobby the Dongyi tribes and incite rebellion, and this can be done." ”

Yousu is not optimistic about this strategy, and whether it can succeed can only be seen first, and said: "Wizard, if you succeed, you will be the high priest of Jizhou, and you can succeed." ”

"Entrust the lord to the great wealth, in the next wish to go," the wizard gladly accepted the request of the Su clan, and the next day took his retinue to the Dongyi tribes, Dongyi has nine departments, called Yiyi, Yuyi, Fangyi, Huangyi, Baiyi, Dongyi, Chiyi, Xuanyi, Fengyi, Yangyi. Gongsun Leopard rushed to the lower reaches of the Yellow River, stood on the bank of the Yellow River and looked at the turbulent water of the Yellow River, crossed the Yellow River into the Yangtze River Basin, where there was a representative tribe Fang Yi, walked outside the village and was stopped by the soldiers guarding outside the village, and said: "Who are you?" Why do you see the chief? ”

"The high priest of Jizhou in Xia Nai visited the leader of your department due to an urgent military situation."

A soldier entered the village to report and then brought Gongsun Leopard into the village, standing in the hall in the water village, with his head held high and his eyes empty. When the chief saw that this man was so arrogant, he said, "Who is standing under the account?" Why didn't you kneel when you saw this chief? ”

"This envoy is the high priest of Jizhou, how can you bow down in a barbarian state, this envoy is your guest and should be hospitable, and you know that you are in danger and you can't know it."

"Such alarmist and unashamed to disturb the hearts of our army, dragged out and cut down the sacrifice to the river god," and then the sword and axe men on both sides stood up. Gongsun Leopard looked up at the sword and axe hands standing on both sides, his eyes were round, beads of sweat slipped from his forehead, he stood and shook his whole body, his eyes were half open, and he said: "I am a god, how dare you make a mistake, if you don't come and bow down quickly, if you provoke the anger of the heavens, it will be a catastrophe." ”

The leader and the surrounding people stepped forward and knelt down to bow their heads, looked up at Gongsun Leopard in front of them, and said, "The gods are angry, please forgive us for our sins." ”

"Wait for the concubine to listen, Yin Shang is about to send troops to Dongyi, God has the virtue of a good life, and I can't bear to let you live in misery, and lean over the body of the high priest to tell him, there are Yin Shang garrisons on the bank of the Yangtze River, just wait for an order to cross the river at any time, and you don't know why you kill it If the heavens are angry and the sky thunders it, it will be difficult to atone for its sins," Gongsun Leopard shook his whole body again, and his legs were weak, so he fell into a coma. The chief and the people knelt around and did not dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the gods. After a long time, Gongsun Leopard woke up, sat up, looked around, and said, "What's wrong with me?" ”

"The high priest has the ability to reach the heavens, please send a message to the gods to forgive me for my sins," Gongsun Leopard looked up at the stunned sword and axe hands on both sides, and said, "Is the leader trying to kill me?" ”

"You dare to kill the messenger of heaven, don't retreat quickly."

"Please set up the altar of the gods, and invite all the tribes to come and worship, otherwise the gods will be angry and I will not be able to protect you, and I will sacrifice two boys and two girls."

"Okay, okay, I'll arrange it."

The leaders of the nine tribes of Dongyi came to worship one after another, and put the boys and girls on the altar and tied them to the firewood. Gongsun Leopard changed into a feather robe, stood on the altar with a cloak and a mantle, the wizard and warlock stood on either side, and the boys and girls behind him wept incessantly, they looked up at the scorching sun hanging above their heads, and said, "Start the altar." Then it was handed down: "Start the altar." Then they put dry wood under the boys and girls, and lit a fire, and a raging fire rose from all around, and they danced around the fire, and at last they screamed and screamed, and their hearts were worried! The sorcerers stood around the fire and looked up at the heavens, their hands raised to the heavens, and after the altar was finished, Gongsun Leopard stood up and said, "The gods have forgiven you. The leader of Fang Yi stood up and said: "Yin Shangxing has an unrighteous army to destroy our nine divisions, and I gather you to ask you to send troops to protect the peace of my homeland." ”

In the tenth year of Emperor Xin (about 1066 B.C.), Dongyi rebelled, sent troops along the Huai River to conquer the border town, the border defense was urgent, the messenger rushed to Chaoge, ran all the way and shouted all the way, entered the Chaoge City, and shouted: "Eight hundred miles to expedite the military situation," went straight to the main hall and knelt down and raised the military newspaper, saying: "Dongyi annoys me border town." Di Xin stepped down and took the military report and took it out, and the messenger got up and withdrew. Di Xin stepped up and stood in front of the throne, faced His Royal Highness's ministers, and said, "Dongyi invaded my border town, who went to quell the rebellion?" ”

"The last general is willing to go, the king can rest assured, if the last general does not go to the east and swears not to return to the court." A military general stood up and faced Di Xin above the main hall, and said impassionedly.

"There is General Fei Lian in my Yin business, Ke Anye, and I am alone here to seal General Fei Lian as the general of the east."

"The last general thanked the king for his unrelenting kindness, and he couldn't repay the last general for the king's battle on the battlefield, and he died to repay the country's kindness."

"Okay, practice for the general."

The army was outside Chaoge City, and the black pressure was overwhelming, and General Fei Lian stood on top of the military cart and waited for Di Xin to come out. Di Xin sat on the dragon chariot and drove out of Chaoge City, stood in front of the army, and said, "General Fei Lian." General Fei Lian got off the chariot and rushed forward to kneel, looked up at Di Xin, who was standing in front of him, and said, "Your Majesty." Di Xin helped General Fei Lian and said, "General, please get up, you don't have to make such a big salute." Di Xin poured a bottle of wine and held it, and said: "Drink this bottle of wine, and wait for your good news in the song." Fei Lian knelt down and took the bottle of wine from Di Xin's hand with both hands and drank it in one gulp. After that, Di Xin said: "You can enter the Huai River and join forces with Youhou Xi to attack Dongyi, so as to preserve the strength of our army, this is a handwritten letter written by Gu to Youhou Xi, and You Houxi will understand after reading it." After Fei Lian took the handwritten letter from Di Xin to You Houxi, he turned to the military chariot to face the army and said, "Let's go." ”

The army marched to the Huai River valley and entered the territory of Youguo, camped outside the city, and entered the city itself. Dongyi forced into the territory of Youguo, and Youhouxi was also anxious, and when he was at a loss, a soldier came to report it, saying: "My lord, General Feilian, the general of Dongyi, came to visit." ”

"Hurry up, please." General Fei Lian entered the Hou Mansion at this time, and waited for Xi Xi to come out, General Fei Lian was about to bow and salute, and Yu Hou Xi stepped forward and said: "You're welcome, how many soldiers does General Fei bring this time?" ”

"30,000 elite soldiers, Master Hou, this is a handwritten letter from the king to you," You Houxi took the handwritten letter from Fei Lian's hand, and said very excitedly after reading it: "You can send troops." The two armies camped on the north bank of the Huai River, and General Fei Lian entered the camp tent, faced Yu Houxi, who was sitting on the side, and said: "Master Hou, please analyze some of the situation of the enemy army." ”

"There are many Dongyi troops, known as 100,000 people, but the equipment is backward, the weapons are redundant, and there are elephants to help, I am afraid that our army will suffer here."

"Okay, our troops are divided into three routes, waiting, the enemy army will be empty in the rear, you lead 30,000 elite soldiers to avoid the frontal battlefield to attack the rear of the army, cut off the supply of the enemy's rear; General Evil, you take 30,000 crossbowmen to attack the enemy elephants; General Fang Yu, you lead 40,000 men and horses from your headquarters to attack the Chinese army, and join forces with 30,000 crossbowmen from the evil come, and I lead 20,000 cavalry to attack the two wings, waiting for the joy of blocking the enemy's retreat in the rear of the enemy. ”

Waiting for the joy and evil to come, Fang Yu stood up, arched his hand in front of him, and said, "The last general will take the order." ”

"Go and every one of you."

The two armies fought in the wilderness, ten thousand arrows were fired together, the lord who sat on the elephant was shot, the lord was dead, the Dongyi tribes were in chaos, the elephants trampled to death in a panic countless soldiers, and there was a large army rushing to the Chinese army, the leaders of all parties saw the situation and led the troops to retreat in a hurry, and at the same time the armies on both wings were heavily damaged, and the front and rear surrounded each other and fought each other. General Fei Lian held a shield in one hand, raised a spear in the other, picked off the leader of one side, and the remaining three leaders had been killed, broke through the encirclement and ran to their camp, and was intercepted by the army of Yu Houxi, which greatly damaged their vitality, General Fei Lian led his troops to pursue along the way, killing 80,000 enemies, and the Dongyi tribes were shocked. In the eleventh year of Emperor Xin (about 1065 B.C.), the army returned to the vicinity of Chaoge and attacked the Yousu clan. Di Xin boarded the chariot and faced the army, saying: "According to the report from the explorers, this Dongyi rebellion was instigated by the Su clan, and I want to personally recruit the Su clan and make it surrender." ”

Fei Zhong knelt in front of Di Xin and said, "The king doesn't have to levy it himself, let the courtiers take you there." ”

"Zhongqing doesn't need to be persuasive, his mind has been decided, if there is any persuasion, don't hesitate to kill, retreat," Di Xin ignored the obstruction of the ministers and led his troops to march towards the Su clan.
