Chapter Seventy-Two: War Again

Ji said angrily: "If you don't eat the toast, you have to eat the punishment wine, you ask for it, and the hundred officials will follow me to the review table." ”

"Oh King." The ministers were all holding their breath in their hearts, and Ji Fa's words were exactly what they wanted at this moment.

So Ji Fa led all the officials to the review stand.

The three thousand soldiers of the Zhou State were all gathered together, holding halberds in their hands and waving them constantly, and the soldiers had already learned the news, because of what, so they burst out from their hearts and roared, wanting to defend their country with the weapons in their hands.

Ji Fa saw that the morale of the soldiers had been greatly boosted, and there was no need to incite again, and any more incitement would only cause morale to fall. So he immediately shouted.

"The soldiers of the Zhou Kingdom will go with me on the march."

Taigongwang waved the order flag, and the soldiers of the Zhou State got on their horses with a roar, and then followed Ji Fa directly out of the review stand.

The prince and the duke of Zhou prayed in the rear, praying for the safe return of their king.

This time, Ji Fa's expedition was too hurried, and there was no extra time for divination in a hurry, and the matter was too urgent, in fact, Ji Fa sent two envoys in advance according to the opinions of Taigongwang and the ministers, and negotiated with the two factions of Shu respectively, but as soon as he arrived at the border of Shu, he was expelled by the people of both sides at the same time.

The envoys of the great Zhou State were expelled by their former vassal states by sending troops, which was simply a great shame, so all the ministers of the Zhou State could not bear it. Not to mention Ji Fa, he is the king of the dignified Zhou Kingdom, how could he allow such an insult to the country to happen? Therefore, it is necessary to send troops to defeat the troops of Shu to restore the prestige of their Zhou State, which is actually for the people.

In the palace of King Zhou, Yongyun ran to Yong Rou and Murong Xue's house in a panic.

"Oh no, the king led his troops to Shu, I heard that it was the people of Shu who rejected the envoys of my Zhou country, and the king was angry, and led three thousand soldiers to fight over, it was very urgent, I heard that even the famous divination of the Duke of Zhou did not have time to count."

"Huh? The KING ... Murong Xue just wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she closed her mouth.

The two sisters, Yongrou and Yongyun, were so smart, how could they not know what she was going to say, so they closed their mouths one after another, silently praying for the king in their hearts, and did not dare to say anything else, lest they touched something bad. But in their hearts, they all hoped that Ji Fa would return safely, without any wounds or scars on his body.

Ji Fa quickly left Xiqi City with his soldiers and walked towards the west, which was still some distance from the border of Shu, but Ji Fa's fiery heart could not be extinguished for a moment.

"Don't fight unprepared wars,"

Ji Fa personally led the troops, and soon approached the border of Shu, he thought to himself: "Hehehehe, I didn't expect that my teleportation flag would have such a magical effect, and it is estimated that no one else will find out, okay, now that the army has arrived in Shu, it is time to show its skills." ”

So he immediately sent the scouts in the army to go to various places to reconnoiter the forces of the two factions of Shu.

Ji Fa's order to set up camp was only near the border, under one of the valleys, and would not be easily discovered by the soldiers of Shu on the border.

"You must know that this generation of Shu people should belong to the indigenous tribes that arose from the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, and after several periods of development, they eventually became a feudal country, which is different from the Central Plains culture, and the civilization here is very unique."

Ji Fa also remembered that in the real world, when he was in high school, when he was learning Chinese, he still vaguely remembered Li Taibai's poems, saying that it was silkworm breeding and fishing, and the founding of the country was at a loss, and he was 48,000 years old, and he was not populated with Qin Saitong. There is a bird road in Xidang Taibai, which can cross the top of Emei. The earth collapsed and the mountain destroyed the strong man to death, and then the ladder stone stacks were hooked together. ”

Judging from this verse, Ji Fa thought: "It is very likely that the territory of Shu in this era is not small. ”

He took the map and found that the description on the map cited his thoughts, in which the territory of this dynasty of Shu extended to Hanzhong in the north, Nanzhong in the south, and Qingjiang in western Hubei in the east.

Ji Fa recalled that when he was still Zhong Dudu, the historical knowledge he had learned, and quickly analyzed that the current Shu State should be the dynasty ruled by Du Yu, speaking of which, this Du Yu is also a capable king, he led the Yuyu tribe to establish a country in the Shu region first, it stands to reason that there should be no fighting at the moment, how can it be fought again? This made Ji Fa puzzled.

Ji Fa thought to himself: "According to the second and third phase cultural relics unearthed from Sanxingdui in Guanghan, this reflects the fact that Yu Yan Guo replaced Bai Guan and Bai Guan replaced Silkworm Cong, and the most important thing is that from the unearthed cultural relics, the patterns of birds and fish were found, which is enough to prove this historical fact." ”

Soon the scout returned, and word came.

"Report to the king, I have inquired, it turns out that it is only the authorities of the Bai Guan clan of the Shu Kingdom who rejected us, and they pretended to be the people of the Yu Yu clan and kept our envoys out of the country, lest we participate in their war."

"Oh? Come with me and tell me more. ”

Ji became interested, and pulled the scout aside alone and asked.

"Report to the king, it is like this, in the border of Shu, there is a very long Maba River, the width of the river is about three hundred and sixty zhang, and the depth of the water is bottomless. The tribes on both sides of the river are now fighting. ”

Ji Fa thought about it for a while, and then said to the scout: "Take some money, grain, grain and grass, and then probe and report to learn more details." ”

"King Not."

Then the scout left again.

As soon as the scouts left, Ji Fa ordered the soldiers to set up camp, and all the soldiers worked hard along the way, and now they can finally start fire and make food, and can rest for the night. Ji Fa arranged the soldiers on patrol, and then ordered to guard his own line, and he didn't come out of the line today.

Ji Fa seized the time to contact Lan Lingdao.

"Lan Ling will help me set the coordinates here."

"Good master has been decided."

Then Ji Fa returned to the chariot, and in a short time he disappeared into the carriage.

And in the territory of Shu, in a small village by the Maba River, Ji Fa suddenly appeared there.

"The teleportation flag is easy to use, but this time the price is a bit big, and it consumes a little bit of my defeat value."

It turned out that Ji Fa had set two coordinates, one was in the middle of the line, and the other was here.

"This is just a very ordinary Shudi village, there is nothing special about it, but this place is very close to the Maba River, let's check it out and see if we can get any news."

At this time, Ji Fa saw an old man who was struggling to push a firewood train, and was stuck by a small dirt slope and kept falling backwards.

"I'll help you." Ji Fa transported the aura in his body, pushed the firewood cart with his right hand, and suddenly pushed the cart directly to the small dirt slope.

The old man gasped and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and after panting evenly, he said: "Thank you baby, otherwise my old bones should be broken, you are not a local, I advise you to return to your country quickly, don't stay here, there will be a fight here soon." ”

"Here are the merchants from Zhou Guo, dare to ask you what's going on here?"

"Then I'll finish telling you, and you should leave quickly, lest you lose your life"

"Let's promise him first, anyway, I'm going to leave here and return to the army." Ji Fa thought to himself.

So Ji Fa nodded, and the old man said: "We are here in the lower reaches of the Maba River, and the people here like water, and they have been fishing for a living for generations, although they are not rich, but they are very happy, but I don't know when they started, the Baiguan tribe in the north called, he was fierce and greedy, and the taxes were gradually heavy, and our lives were miserable. Soon he couldn't help it, and the people began to revolt, and began to make trouble, and continued to gather the tribes in the south, forming a large tribe, including ours, all rely on him to lead the people to protect. ”

"So we worshipped him as the king of fish, but the Bai Guan clan in the north was unwilling, so the two sides began to fight, but now our side is at a loss, after all, the north is full of regular soldiers, and our side is basically a village warrior, and it is difficult to say that it will be difficult to fight."

After Ji Fa thanked the old man, he left directly, returned to his own line, looked around, and saw that the soldiers were eating, and they were hungry and eating at the moment.

"Serve me a bowl of rice."

According to his previous rules, Ji Fa sat down to eat with the soldiers, and then inspected the soldiers of the whole army, and then the soldiers entered the camp to rest, except for the soldiers on patrol, all the rest lay down to rest. Ji Fa's appearance comforted the soldiers' hearts, and this was also a strategy for Ji Fa to lead the troops, letting the soldiers know that they were with them at any time, which improved the morale of the army a lot.

"Everyone is fishing, fishing to use fishing nets, harpoons, but also by feeding the fish eagle into the water to catch fish, the fish eagle is a kind of wild duck, the ancient name of the fish, so this tribe is named the fish tribe, the head of the fishing is called the king of the fish."

When Ji Fa was eating, he suddenly thought of this, he probably understood why Du Yu in history would be called this name, and when he thought of this, he had an idea again, he really wanted to meet this fish king and see what kind of person he was.

So when he had finished eating, he told his soldiers that he had rested, and that they had kept their tents.

"King Nuo, we won't let anyone in."

So Ji Fa entered the line, and began to immediately use the teleportation flag to teleport to the vicinity of the Maba River again, after Ji Fa arrived, he began to walk along the river to the west, and then Ji Fa began to operate the aura in his body, distributed around his body, and began to walk continuously.

Soon he left a village and came to a river, and at this time the sky was almost gray, and at this moment, Ji Fa came to a river, and saw a fisherman, who stretched out his harpoon in the water and seemed to be waiting for something.

"Excuse me..."

"Shhhh The middle-aged man dressed as a fisherman made a silent gesture to Ji Fa.

He raised his harpoon and continued to wait, and after a while Ji Fa saw a fish flowing through the water under his feet, and said that it was too late, and then it was too fast, and a harpoon flew out and forked directly into the water, and then he raised the harpoon, and a dying fish fluttered on top of the harpoon.

"It seems that you have succeeded, now you can listen to my question, may I ask if Du Yu is here?"

The middle-aged man looked at him suspiciously, looked at him and said, "Why do you know my name?" Is it because I'm very skilled? Oops, I'm going to be embarrassed. ”

"I..." Ji Fa was speechless for a while.

But what he didn't expect was that the man in front of him, who was not good at fishing, turned out to be the famous Du Yu, who was later called Emperor Wangdi in the history books, I heard that he later became a god, but now it seems that he is still just a mortal.

"Yes, I'm looking for you."

The two of them returned to the river bank, Du Yu set up a fire, and began to take out a harpoon to roast on it, he looked at Ji Fa incredulously and said.

"So you are the legendary King of Zhou? I thought you had three heads and six arms, but I didn't expect you to be a human being like me. ”

Ji Fa thought to himself: "Is this talking about human words? Can I give him a few strokes? ”

Du Yu talked to Ji Fa about a lot of things, and gradually became familiar with Ji Fa.

"That's the case, the leader of the Bai Guan tribe in the north, originally our side has nothing to do with them, the well water does not interfere with the river water, they graze their herds, we shoot our fish, there was no intersection at all, but what I didn't expect was that one day they suddenly came over, burned many villages, forced the people on our side to submit to him, some of them were unwilling to fight against me like this, and then some of the villagers were still in dire straits, and the leaders of the Bai Guan clan imposed harsh taxes on the people, More and more and more and more heavy, and the people are miserable, so that's exactly what we have to do. Du Yu said.

"Well, you're right, I support your approach, this pest that poisons the people should be eliminated." Ji Fa said.

Du Yu said happily: "I often hear people say that King Zhou understands the suffering of the people and is very good to the people, but now it seems to be true, I am really happy, and someone can support our current situation." ”

"Can you cross this Maba River and meet the people of the Baiguan tribe?" Ji Fa asked.

"In fact, we have been fighting for a few days, and the leader of the Bai Guan clan is not far from the other side of the river, and every time we attack, there will be a horn to remind us that we and the other side have lost a lot of people, but the battle continues, until either side is destroyed."
