Next.

After the earth-shattering drums sounded outside the city, the coalition forces were not seen attacking the city.

At this moment, Tian Wen was on the east city wall, and asked strangely: "Everyone, what does the Chu army mean by this, why don't you come to attack the city?" ”

All the guests looked at each other, and they all shook their heads, not knowing the matter.

Tian Wen glanced worriedly at the outside of the city, and then ordered: "Send people to the other three sides to investigate quickly and beware of the enemy's conspiracy." ”

"No."

After a while, a scout stepped forward quickly, panting and said, "Newspaper... It's not good for you, south... Xue Jun was preparing for the enthronement ceremony not far to the south, and the spies had already found the three animals used for sacrifice. ”

"What?" Tian Wen was shocked.

Although he had known the news of Xue Jun's return to Xue Di for a long time, the matter of Xue Jun's accession to the throne outside the city still gave Tian Wen a blow to the head.

This is to win the hearts and minds of the people!

Thinking about it, Tian Wen hurriedly said, "Quick, go to the south immediately." ”

To the south, under the principle of simplicity, at this time Xue Jun had re-established the temple, officially sacrificed to the ancestors, and announced the succession to Xue Jun's position.

At this time, Xue Deng was no longer the nominal feudal monarch Xue Jun of Chu State, but Xue Jun, the monarch of Xue Land.

At the moment of the announcement, Song Jun, who had been preparing for a long time, immediately shouted outside the city: "Fortunately, thanks to the gods of Sheji, Xue Jun is on the throne, and Xue Di is in charge!"

The Song army kept shouting outside the city, and the sound resounded through the sky, and at the same time, the troops in the east and west also shouted into the city.

Needless to say, the people in the city must have heard it.

At this time, Tian Wen came to the southern city wall, listened to the shouts of the Song army outside the city, held the hilt of the sword tightly left and right, and looked out of the city with an iron face.

After a cup of tea, it stopped.

At this time, the people on the city wall were all at a loss, at a loss.

This place is Xue Di, it used to be called Xue Guo, they are the people of Xue Di, they used to be the people of Xue State, Xue Jun is orthodox, he ruled Xue Di for more than six or seven hundred years, and he fled to Chu State twenty years ago, everyone knows this.

After all, it's only twenty years, and twenty years is just from birth to adulthood, which is not a long time, and many people have seen the previous generation of Xue Jun!

Now that Xue Jun has returned to Xue Di with hundreds of thousands of troops and taken the throne outside the city, will the people of Xue City prevent Xue Jun from returning?

This is a question that has confused many people.

Outside the city, after Xue Cheng worshiped the temple, he saluted the Taibu sent by the King of Song and said: "There is Lao Taibu for divination to ask for good luck!" ”

Taibu from Song Guolai nodded, and then performed divination.

After a while, the results came out, and Xue Jun was shocked when he looked at the results.

The divination results are fierce.

Seeing Xue Jun's expression of fear, Taibu didn't think so, but arched his hand and congratulated: "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations!" ”

When Xue Jun heard this, he suddenly remembered that a few years ago, the little bird in the Song Kingdom gave birth to a big bird, and immediately knew what the King of Song and this Taibu wanted to do, and he had a lot of thoughts, and finally had to nod blankly.

It wasn't long before another sound rang out outside the city.

"Worship the temple, divination, good luck..."

on the city walls.

When Tian Wen heard this, he saw that some of the people on the city wall showed a look of surprise, some showed a look of fear, and some looked out curiously, and immediately said: "Fake!" This must be fake, Xue Jun's blood sacrifice has been cut off for twenty years, and the temple has been destroyed for twenty years. Now that people outside are building a temple at will, how can they be blessed by ghosts and gods! ”

After Tian Wen spoke, the disciples and generals around him immediately began to appease the people of Xue Cheng and told them not to listen to the rumors.

After a while, the people of Xue City finally stabilized, and there was a shout outside the city.

"Shrine, divination, good luck..."

“···” Tian Wen was speechless for a moment.

Be! There is no need to pick a date to ascend the throne, the previous monarch died, and the next monarch ascended the throne, there is nothing to say. However, the festival is second only to the festival of the heavens, and there is a set time, and it must be the first day of the month, especially in winter, and it is winter...

Tian Wen is still thinking angrily, if it weren't for Xue Jun's lack of status and lack of qualifications to worship the sky, would Xue Jun still want to sacrifice to the sky once?

Thinking about it, Tian Wen scolded: "Deceive the ancestors, deceive the heavens, and fool the gods of Sheji, Xue Jun will not die well!" ”

The people of Xue Di would not have thought of it so much, when they heard the shouts outside the city, they learned that the two major sacrificial activities of Xue Jun's ancestor sacrifice shrine had all received good results, and they all thought that Xue Jun had obtained the mandate of heaven.

On the other side, after Xue Jun carried out two sacrificial activities in succession, he returned to the army and asked King Song in horror: "Great King, is it really okay to deceive the heavens and fool the gods?" ”

King Song said as a matter of course: "It's okay, Xue Jun, please believe in the widow, do what the widow says, this battle will be won." ”

Hearing this, Xue Jun nodded firmly.

Then he came to the front of the three armies, and said: "I want to be in the vein of Xue Jun, passed from the first king Fuxi, after two generations of Xia and Shang, blood and food continued, when the king of Wu, the first monarch was sealed in Xue, which lasted more than 700 years. I don't want to, twenty years ago, I suddenly suffered a catastrophe, and I was destroyed by the Qi country, and the king of Qi destroyed my society and destroyed my temple, so that the sacrifice of my ancestors was cut off. ”

"Fortunately, the king of Chu and the king of Song are benevolent and righteous, and sent troops to restore the country for me, expel Tian Xue, and return my homeland. Deng was grateful, and swore here that he despised the two countries of Chu and Song, and swore to the people that the Xue State would be restored and all the people would be exempt from taxes for three years! ”

After Xue Jun announced the righteousness of attacking Xue to the Song army, the Song army, which had already been prepared, immediately shouted to the city: "Expelle Tian Xue, Xue State will be restored, and after the restoration of the country, tax exemption will be granted for three years..."

Tax free for three years, that's the killer feature.

On the city wall, Tian Wenyan's face changed, especially the declaration of Song Jun's tax exemption for three years was directly aimed at his move to buy people's hearts, so he couldn't help but worry.

Then, Tian Wen wanted to take a look at the people on the city wall, and sure enough, the people who heard the declaration of the Song army outside the city all showed joy. Don't care what Xue Gong Xue Jun is, he can bring practical benefits to the people, this is the real king of benevolence and righteousness.

Before Tian Wen could speak, another voice came from outside the city:

"Divination, good luck, this battle will be won."

As soon as these words came out, the people on the city wall were already surprised and happy.

Tian Wen was furious when he saw this!

The voice shouted three times, and then immediately there was a commotion outside the city.

Tian Wen looked out and saw that the Song army shouting in front was retreating, while the Song army behind was already preparing to attack.

Outside the city.

The king of Song personally came to the front line to supervise the battle, and on the other side, Xue Jun took the Xue army prepared by Chu and Song to personally participate in the siege of the city, and the morale of the Song and Xue coalition troops was suddenly greatly boosted, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

In the city, although the Song army has not yet attacked the city, Tian Wen obviously feels that this siege is extraordinary, if he is not careful, I am afraid that Xue Cheng will be over.

Looking at the people on the city wall again, there was already an obvious look of retreat on their faces, and their legs were also unconsciously retreating, Tian Wen was suddenly anxious.

Difficulties at home and abroad, time is running out.

And what can I do about it?
