Luoyi into a week.

The army of the Duke of Eastern Zhou, led by the new minister Sima You, once again attacked the city of Chengzhou, where Zhou Tianzi once lived.

The Western Zhou army stationed in the city of Chengzhou was led by the Duke of Western Zhou himself, and this time the Duke of Western Zhou listened to the advice of Meng Ran (Wei Ran's pseudonym) and was ready to hold on to the city without abandoning it.

Therefore, the two armies first fought a big battle outside the city, and after the Western Zhou army was defeated, the Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty quickly led the army to withdraw to the city and defended it with the help of the city wall.

The Eastern Zhou army thought that the Western Zhou army would abandon the city and leave, but today it began to defend the city unusually, and seeing that the prime minister Sima You had not ordered the siege of the city, the Eastern Zhou generals began to be a little dissatisfied and complained to Sima You.

"What's going on? What's going on? We've just won, Prime Minister, why don't you lead the siege? ”

"yes, siege... Hurry up and attack the city, as long as we attack the city, then Ji Gongzhi will be like a mouse, and he will immediately flee in the wilderness! ”

"Please give the order to attack the city as soon as possible, the soldiers can't wait, they can't wait!"

Sima You looked at the Chengzhou city wall not far away, his expression was a little solemn, it turned out that when he arrived at Chengzhou, he had already quietly met Wei Ran.

The two agreed to use the height of the flag on the city wall as a code, raising the flag three feet high means that the city can be attacked, and lowering the flag to one foot high means that the city cannot be attacked, but now the flag is still at the original two feet high, so Sima You naturally did not dare to act rashly, so he had to continue to appease the Eastern Zhou soldiers under his command.

Chengzhou in the city.

Wei Ran has been being pulled by the Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty and asked about countermeasures, so he couldn't get out of his body at all, and the soldiers around Wei Ran had no power to go to the city tower, so Wei Ran was also very anxious.

In fact, Wei Ran had already made a suggestion for the Duke of the Western Zhou, that is, to open the city gate, set up an empty city plan in the city, arrange all the Western Zhou troops to ambush, lead the Eastern Zhou army into the city, and then take the opportunity to surprise attack the Eastern Zhou army, but the Duke of the Western Zhou did not want to believe Wei Ran, so he was unwilling to do this strategy, and still hoped to repel the attack of the Eastern Zhou army by holding on.

I only heard Dong Zhou Gong ask Wei Ran behind him.

"Meng Ran, do you think we can really withstand the attack of the Ji Gen rebels this time?"

Wei Ran replied.

"Duke Zhou, I Meng Ran find it difficult to say, if you want to hold this Cheng Zhou, the soldiers must raise their morale, and the method I mentioned before to lure the enemy into the city and set up an ambush, you are not willing to implement it, so now you should go to the city tower with me Meng Ran to cheer up our soldiers!"

Western Zhou Gong shook his head.

"Meng Ran, you are the king of a country, is the life of the Son of Heaven in the future like a child's play? How can I go to the castle tower to cheer up the soldiers at this time of danger? What if the rebels' arrows hurt me? ”

Wei Ran patted his mouth.

"Duke Zhou, you don't have to worry, with my Wei Ran by your side to protect you, even if the rebel arrows fly, they will only fly into my Meng Ran's body, and they will definitely not hurt you in the slightest, Duke Zhou."

Duke Xi Zhou smiled lightly at Wei Ran.

"Hmph, what you said is very light, now the whole country is counting on me, I won't take this risk, it's a big deal that I can't hold it, we just escape from the West Gate!"

Wei Ran couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw that this Western Zhou Duke still had a heart to escape.

"Alas, this Western Zhou Gong is really something that can't be a big deal, and he is actually afraid of death at a critical time, but that's good, after all, the purpose of my Wei Ran working so hard to get around this death-fearing ghost is to hope that the Western Zhou army will have a decisive battle with the Eastern Zhou army as soon as possible, so that Sima You and I will have the opportunity to burn Cheng Zhou and Wangcheng, at that time, Zhou Tianzi will be completely angry, then our King Wei will have a reason to destroy the Eastern Zhou and Western Zhou and occupy the entire Zhou Wangji."

Seeing that Wei Ran had not replied, and seemed to be pondering something, the Duke of Western Zhou asked:

"Meng Ran! What's wrong? Do you have a good plan to give to your father? ”

Wei Ran immediately came back to his senses.

"No matter how many good strategies I have Meng Ran, it is useless if you don't listen to Zhou Gong!"

Seeing Meng Ran talking to himself like this, the Duke of the Western Zhou couldn't help but be a little angry, and at this time, a guard came to report, and the Eastern Zhou army had already been found to be ambushed outside the West Gate, which could escape, and the Duke of the Western Zhou instantly became anxious and accused Meng Ran:

"Hmph, what's the use of these so-called good ideas? What's the use? Ben Gong just listened to your good strategy and stuck to this Cheng Zhou City, so that Ben Gong is now in a dilemma, do you know? Do you know? ”

Wei Ran was not afraid at all.

"I, Meng Ran, asked Duke Zhou to guard the city, but if you don't go to the city tower to boost morale, can this city be defended? You always don't believe me Meng Ran, okay, I'll leave now... Let's go now! ”

The Duke of Western Zhou was directly angry.

"What? Do you want to run now? I told you that there was no way, it was you Meng Ran who hurt my father, don't want to run today! ”

Then he gave an order to the guards on the side.

"Take this Meng Ran down for me, take it down!"

Due to the delay in the signal of Wei Ran on the city tower, Sima You had to order the city to be attacked under the urging of the generals of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

And on the top of a mountain north of Luoyang.

At this time, Wei Si and Bai Qi were looking at Chengzhou City not far away, listening to bursts of shouts and screams.

Bai Qi asked Wei Si at this time:

"I don't know why you asked me to be here to accompany you to look at the war in Luoyi City, the king?"

Wei Si saw that Bai Qi seemed to be a little sympathetic and unbearable when he heard these continuous screams.

"Haven't you always wanted to be a general? If you become a general, you have to kill a lot of enemies, and these enemies are actually the same as you, in order to be a general, and go to the battlefield, in fact, they are innocent people, if you touch them, can you do it? ”

Bai Qi replied:

"My mentor taught me that there are no innocent people on the battlefield, only enemies and comrades, and the purpose of going to the battlefield is to kill all the enemies with their comrades."

Wei Si asked:

"But I think why do you sympathize with the screams you have just heard? If you really go to the battlefield, I'm afraid you can't bear to kill the enemy, then the enemy will definitely kill you! ”

Bai Qi replied.

"I understand that if I really have the opportunity to go to the battlefield in the future, I will definitely not show mercy to the enemy's subordinates!"

Wei Si nodded.

"Yes, if you show mercy to the enemy, you are cruel to yourself, you must remember this sentence!"

白起 says:

"I know, thank you for your teachings."

Wei Si asked again:

"Why, you've just heard the widow talk to General Le Yi about the situation in the past two weeks, which side do you think will win the final victory?"

Bai Qi replied.

"Both countries are doomed to lose."

Wei Si looked at Bai Qi curiously.

"Why do you think so?"

Bai Qi replied:

"Because the person who really controls the overall situation is you, the king, and the Eastern Zhou and Western Zhou are now just two chess pieces in your hands, so you will be the real winner!"

Wei Si asked:

"Really?"

Bai smiled.

"Of course, because the king can always strategize and win a thousand miles!"

Wei Si laughed.

"Haha, get up, you are so young, you have actually learned to pat on the back, this is not advisable, it is not advisable!"

The war between the Eastern Zhou and the Western Zhou lasted for two days, and the Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty saw that the city of Cheng Zhou was already in danger under the offensive of the Eastern Zhou army.

Due to the presence of the Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the morale of the soldiers defending the city was greatly victorious, and they immediately blocked wave after wave of Eastern Zhou army offensives.

The Eastern Zhou army saw that the morale of the Western Zhou army defending the city was high, and their own army suffered heavy losses due to the siege, so they had to retreat under the leadership of Sima You.

After the Duke of the Western Zhou repelled the Eastern Zhou army under his own command, he became confident for a while, and actually directly gathered the Western Zhou army out of the city to pursue the Eastern Zhou army.

The Eastern Zhou army has been chased by the Western Zhou army to the Luoshui River, and the Eastern Zhou army has no way to retreat at this time, so Sima Youzhi fought against the pursuing Western Zhou army by the Luoshui River.

And Wei Ran, who was released at this time, immediately led his subordinates and set fires everywhere in Chengzhou City, and the fire was soaring to the sky for a while.

When the Duke of Western Zhou heard the news of the fire in Chengzhou City, he was shocked and left to withdraw his troops, wanting to go back to fight the fire.

On the one hand, Sima You ordered people to chase after the Duke of Western Zhou, and on the other hand, he took hundreds of elites and made a detour to the royal city west of Chengzhou, and took the opportunity to rush open the city gate and attack the royal city.

There were less than a thousand guards in the royal city, and under Sima You's sudden attack, where could they resist it, and the soldiers of the Western Zhou Kingdom in the royal city scattered and fled.

Sima You took the opportunity to order his nearly 100 men to start setting fire to the royal city.

For a time, the royal city and the two adjacent Zhou royal symbols of Chengzhou were overwhelmed by the raging fire.

Zhou Tianzi was also accompanied by Wei Si at this time, drove to the outside of the city, and saw that his two royal cities were all burned by the fire, and Zhou Tianzi knelt down to Wei Si again in grief.

"King Wei... Wei Wang ...... Please... Please, you must help me cut these two beasts of Ji Gen and Ji Gongzhi to avenge my revenge of the Zhou royal family and the temple! ”

After speaking, Zhou Tianzi immediately fainted.

This is Wei Si is also angry.

"Have you heard what the Son of Heaven meant? Immediately ordered all the people to destroy the armies of the Eastern Zhou and Western Zhou dynasties, and the Eastern Zhou and Western Zhou dukes were arrested, and the Fa was rectified directly on the spot to relieve the anger of the Son of Heaven, you know? ”

Under the leadership of Le Yi, the Great Wei army began to slaughter the armies and civilians of the Eastern and Western Zhou dynasties mercilessly in the vicinity, with corpses everywhere, and even the entire Luoshui was blocked by floating corpses.

A few days later, the entire Luoyi City had become a ruin, and Henan City, the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and Gongcheng, the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, were also burned down by the Wei army one after another, and the two Zhou dukes of the Western Zhou and Eastern Zhou Dynasty also died tragically in the war, and the entire Zhou Wangji was officially controlled by the Wei State, and the people who did not obey the Great Wei were all killed.
