A long time ago, Emperor Yan Shennong led the people to cultivate fields and plant grains, and his people lived and worked in peace and contentment because they could eat enough. The children and grandchildren inherited the agricultural advantages that had been realized for a long time, so they developed faster than other tribes.

After the death of the Shennong clan, the descendants of Emperor Yan still inherited the Yandi family. The Yandi clan continued to maintain the lifestyle of slash-and-burn farming, medicine and medicine, and the Yandi tribe was also powerful for a period of five hundred years.

It was only when Emperor Yan "Yu Gang" was in power that the Yellow Emperor tribes in the Jishui area were also rapidly difficult to move, and they continued to unite with other tribes to expand their territory.

When the Yellow Emperor's tribe flourished, the Yellow Emperor implemented a strategy of combining grace and power to the brother tribes, so many small and medium-sized tribes came to take refuge. This made the bear country built by the Yellow Emperor grow rapidly.

Since then, the Yellow Emperor has recruited talents everywhere to offer advice and seek development for the nascent country. Soon, their comprehensive national strength was changing with each passing day, various technologies were advancing by leaps and bounds, and the people's living standards were improving day by day.

At the same time, because the Yandi tribe only focused on agricultural development, they greatly neglected the military aspect of management. Due to the management mistakes of the Yandi tribe, the development advantages of the tribe were unbalanced and gradually declined.

It wasn't until Emperor Yan succeeded to the throne that their management methods became more and more unreasonable. At this time, the Yandi tribe could no longer compete with other tribes, and they even reached the point where they could only be beaten at the mercy of others.

At that time, the overlord of the world had already reached the hands of the Yellow Emperor tribe, the Yellow Emperor tribe alliance was the largest, he had occupied most of the world, and the rest was under the control of the Yandi tribe, just southeast of the Yandi tribe and the Yellow Emperor tribe, there was a relatively large "Jiuli tribe" tribe.

The chief who ruled the Jiuli tribe was named "Chiyou", and Chiyou's surname was "Jiang". He is also one of the descendants of the Yandi Shennong clan, and the tribe of Chiyou is also one of the largest branches of the Yandi tribe.

The Chiyou tribe is located in a very good geographical location, in addition to being rich in table salt, they are also rich in metal deposits, and they have even mastered the technology of metal smelting. Therefore, Chiyou became the most powerful tribe among the farming tribes headed by Emperor Yan.

As a relatively large tribal chieftain, Chi You is not like the chiefs of other tribes of Emperor Yan, he is a person who likes to fight with soldiers, and he is also a very strong person. Chiyou always likes to take his tribal allies with him to invade other tribes.

There are eighty small tribes around the Jiuli tribe that are all under the control of Chiyou, so Chiyou has eighty-one brothers who can be born and die for him, and these brothers are the chiefs of those small tribes in the Jiuli tribe.

These tribal chieftains all have the body of a fierce beast, all of them have copper heads and iron foreheads, and they look fierce and vicious. They eat all the sand and stones, and they are fierce. The swords, halberds, bows, and crossbows they made were all very powerful.

Once, Chiyou saw a few salt ponds in the "Hanquan", and he wanted to take them for himself. At that time, salt was more expensive than grain, and Chiyou occupied the salt pond in order to use salt to hold other tribes hostage in order to achieve his terrible aggression.

However, these salt pools were originally in the territory of Emperor Yan Yu, and Chi You came to grab it, where was Yu Gang willing to let it. However, Emperor Yan Yu is a descendant of the Shennong clan, they have always been a kind farming nation, they only pay attention to the production and life of the people, and are not good at raising troops to fight at all.

But Chiyou is a belligerent, where will he reason with Yu Yan. With his domineering appearance, he insisted on grabbing other people's things, and he came to the door of Yu Gang's house for no reason. It seems that whether to fight or not is up to Yu Yu, and only Chi You has the final say.

Yu Gang looked at Chi You, this is clearly to bully people, but where is there anyone under Yu Gang who will fight. Yu Gang wanted no people, no weapons, no weapons, he had no choice, so he had to temporarily gather a group of farmers from the field, and then he fought with Chi You.

After a fierce battle, Emperor Yan Yu was simply not Chi You's opponent, and they really let Chi You beat him hard. Yu Gang's subordinates were really beaten up a lot, and they were beaten in disarray.

Yu Yan suffered the defeat, and there was a fire in his heart, but he didn't have a capable helper, which made it difficult to subdue Chiyou. So, Yu Yan thought, I and the Yellow Emperor painted the ground as a prison, and they were safe for so long, which shows that the Yellow Emperor is still benevolent and righteous.

At this time, Yu Yan couldn't think of a better way, so he had to run helplessly to Zhuolu to ask the Yellow Emperor for help. When the Yellow Emperor saw Yu Yan coming to see him, he readily agreed to help.

In order to dominate the world, the Yellow Emperor has long recruited strange people from all over the world. The measures taken by the Yellow Emperor to develop the economy in an all-round way were to better prepare for war. Because the Yellow Emperor is fully prepared in any way.

Because the Yellow Emperor firmly believed that it was wise for him to stick to the Central Plains to prevent trouble. He was afraid that no one would dare to provoke, as long as someone touched his cold hair, the Yellow Emperor would definitely let him go and never return.

For this reason, the Yellow Emperor also personally raised six kinds of beasts: tiger, leopard, bear, pig, pi, and pig. These beasts have been domesticated for a long time, as if they have been human, and often wherever people command, they can rush to wherever they are.

Previously, the Yellow Emperor had asked Fenghou and Limu to make a number of round-wheeled chariots with Xuanyuan axes, and let them make guide chariots that could accurately indicate the direction. The Yellow Emperor also had a large number of arrows, arrows, crossbows, bows and other weapons used to attack the enemy, and he was already confidently waiting to meet the attackers.

The Yellow Emperor also forged the Fuxi Sword into a Xuanyuan sword that was as sharp as clay, and the forged Xuanyuan Sword was even more powerful. Coupled with the elite swordsmanship of the Yellow Emperor himself, as well as the strategic tactics taught by the Emperor Fuxi back then, the Yellow Emperor also knew it by heart

The Yellow Emperor heard that there was a manatee named "Kui" on Liubo Mountain in the depths of the East China Sea. The body of the Kui Niu is wide and rough, it has no horns on its head, only two legs on its body, and its thick skin is extremely tough, which is a good material for making cowhide war drums.

Whenever the oxen come in and out of the water, the world will be stormy. And the thunder and lightning that accompany the wind and rain will follow, and their light will be as bright and dazzling as the sun and the moon. After the Yellow Emperor heard about it, he personally went to the East China Sea to look for this sacred cow.

It turned out that this manatee was surprisingly big, and it was a thunder beast sacred cow in the world. Kui Niu's voice was loud, and the hissing was louder than thunder, and the sound was like a tsunami from a mountain, shaking the heavens and the earth.

The Yellow Emperor thought that he had obtained the treasure, so he worshipped Kui Niu as a brother as the god of the Jade Emperor's son. Kui Niu also regarded the Yellow Emperor as a confidant, and after hearing the purpose of the Yellow Emperor's coming, Kui Niu did not hesitate to sacrifice himself to fulfill the grace of the Yellow Emperor's acquaintance.

Seeing his brother Kui Niu die for himself, the Yellow Emperor was very moved. With tears in his eyes, he made the thick skin of the cow peeled off and made into a large, round thunder drum. The iron bone of the Kui Niu is made into the drum hammer of the thunder drum, which is used to boost morale, and the sound of the "Kui Niu Drum" is 500 miles away.

In addition, the Yellow Emperor also personally invited generals such as Fenghou, Limu, Changxian, Dahong, and Lilou to learn military skills from them, and let them practice the method of marching and arranging formations for their newly built army.

When the Yellow Emperor saw that several ministers had arrived, he asked the Wind Queen: "Feng Shangxiang, I heard that you have compiled a "Grip Qi Sutra" formation, which is called "The Eight Formations of the Wind Queen". What is the Art of War? You may wish to tell you about it to solve my doubts. ”

Feng Hou said with a smile: "The so-called "Grip the Strange Sutra" Eight Formations of War, there are four for the positive, four for the strange, and the rest of the odd for the grasp." There are a total of eight formations, so it is called the "Eight Formations of War after the Wind"

"Prime Minister of the Wind, please tell us more details."

"The Yellow Emperor, the specific formation is like this: the first outing army is set at both ends, the sky has a balance circle, the earth has an axis, the front and back have a rush, the wind is attached to the sky, and the clouds are attached to the ground. There are four teams in each rush, and three teams in the front and back. The wind lives in four dimensions, so it is round. There are three teams in each row of the axes, and three teams in the front and back. The wind dwells in the four corners, so it is square. The heavens dwell at both ends, and the earth dwells in the middle, and there are always eight arrays. ”

The Yellow Emperor was a little ignorant, and he asked again: "The wind is on the face, what are the eight formations of the eight formations?" ”

After the wind said: "Yellow Emperor, these eight formations are: Sky Covering Array, Earth Carrying Array, Wind Raising Array, Cloud Hanging Array, Dragon Flying Array, Tiger Wing Array, Flying Bird Array, Snake Pan Array, these eight formations. ”

The Yellow Emperor said: "If you want to set up these eight formations, how many troops do you need to complete it?" ”

Feng Hou said: "Yellow Emperor, this requires thirty-two teams of Tianchong, sixteen teams of wind, eight teams of Tianqian Chong, twelve teams of Earth Forward, twelve teams of Earth Axis, eight teams of Tianhou Chong, twelve axis Earth Rear Chong, and sixteen teams of clouds." The heaven and earth rush forward for the tiger wings, the heaven and the earth rush backward for the flying dragon, the wind for the snake, and the cloud for the flying bird. ”

The Yellow Emperor was a little stunned, and he said, "This, what are the essentials to grasp?" ”

Feng Hou said: "The specific essentials are like this: one is one, and eight are separated: One is one, and Pingchuan is like a city." Scattered into eight, the shape of the ground. Chaos is like an infinite ring. One after another, I don't know what to do. The combination of heaven dwells at both ends, and the earth dwells in it. Scattered is a yin and a yang, and the two are against each other. Don't be preemptive. ”

Hearing this, the Yellow Emperor nodded and stared at the wind for a long time. Then he said with satisfaction: "Prime Minister Feng, our army will be handed over to you, you must bring me a brave and good fighting team as soon as possible, and win by surprise." And General Limu, you must assist the Prime Minister well, and the two of you must work together to build our army into an invincible elite force. Are you sure? ”

"Yes! Please wait and see. ”

After the wind, Li Mu remembered the holy will of the Yellow Emperor, and after a short time, they had already trained the Yellow Emperor's army in a skilled formation, and many good ministers and generals also fully cooperated, and they all gave advice to the Yellow Emperor.

In addition, there are generals such as Cangjie, Chang Xian, Da Hong, and Lilou, who also did their best for the Yellow Emperor. In addition to the strong support of these loyal ministers and good generals, the Yellow Emperor also invited several gods and generals to heaven in order to get their timely and full assistance.

At this point, it can be said that the camp of the Yellow Emperor has long been prepared, everything is ready, and it has already taken precautions.

Everything was ready, the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor united, and they merged many weak tribes that had been bullied by Chiyou, and together they started a fierce battle with Chiyou in Hanquan. The Yellow Emperor summoned the ghosts and gods of the four directions this time, and led the six divine beasts he raised to fight together.

Chi You took his eighty-one copper-headed and iron-fronted brothers, as well as ghosts such as "魑, charm, 魍, 魉" and some sharp-toothed "Miao people" to face the Yellow Emperor's army.

At the beginning of the war, Chi You first cast a spell on the Yellow Emperor's army, and suddenly a heavy fog filled the entire battlefield, and the Yellow Emperor's army was so confused that they couldn't distinguish the direction, and their command was completely out of order.

At this time, Chiyou's ghostly spirit was in front, followed by monsters with copper heads and iron foreheads and horns on their heads. They came with ferocity, and at once they crushed the Yellow Emperor's army and were embarrassed.

At this time, the Yellow Emperor's right-hand man, Feng Hou, immediately stood up. I saw him waving his sleeves and urging the wind flag, and suddenly the wind was fierce, and the sand and rocks flew all over the sky. After the strong wind, the fog was blown away, and the Yellow Emperor's army saw everything in front of them.

Then, Chiyou's iron-headed army came again, and their iron-headed hard skills overwhelmed the Yellow Emperor's army. The Yellow Emperor hurriedly followed the direction of the guide car and led the troops to the south to break out of the encirclement.

Chi You broke his formation after seeing the wind, so he couldn't make a plan, and he had another plan. At this time, it was dark, and Chi You made ghosts and ghosts such as ghosts and ghosts shout one after another, and suddenly the four fields were pitch black, and the sound of ghosts screaming one after another was very terrifying. When the Yellow Emperor's team heard this, the army was in a panic.

In order to reverse the situation as soon as possible, the Yellow Emperor waved the Xuanyuan sword and immediately ordered to quickly blow the horn of the bull and sheep horns. This kind of bull and sheep horn trumpet emitted a kind of dragon roar, and the sound of the trumpet was accompanied by the sound of the trumpet, and the ghosts and various ghosts were immediately frightened into silence.

Because they are most afraid of the dragon's groan, which makes them have a splitting headache and shiver all over. One by one, they were in agony, and some even died of convulsions. Seeing that his subordinates had suffered numerous casualties, Chi You hurriedly withdrew his troops and fled secretly.

The Yellow Emperor's army finally won a small victory this time, and their morale was greatly boosted, so the Yellow Emperor led the army to pursue the victory. But in the blink of an eye, the fog rose again, and Chiyou's troops disappeared.

After more than a month, Chiyou's team regained their divine power, and they launched an attack on the Yellow Emperor again. The attack began, and the Jade Emperor could see it clearly in the sky, and he was afraid that the Yellow Emperor would suffer a loss, so he sent the god of thunder and lightning "Ying Long" from the sky to come and spread the rain.

The Yellow Emperor asked the soldiers to hold drumsticks made of the bones of thunder beasts and beat the thunder drums made of the skin of the East China Sea gods. When the thunder drum is beaten, it is like thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth, resounding through the mountains and rivers.

Those brass and iron men were most afraid of thunder drums, and they were so frightened by the earth-shaking sound that they lost their souls. In the sound of thunder drums, Ying Long waved a pair of wings and flew up and down in the air, only to see the heavy rain pouring and the sound of thunder and rain mixed together.

In fact, Chiyou, who is from the southeast, is not afraid of rain. Before Ying Long's arrival, Chi You had already invited the "Feng Bo Yu Division", and they were also preparing to flood the Yellow Emperor's division.

As soon as the Feng Boyu Master came, he flew into the sky and fought with Ying Long. I saw lightning and thunder in the air, and the wind and clouds surged. After Ying Long's storm, Feng Boyu also urged a more violent storm and counterattacked the Yellow Emperor's army.

Now, the Yellow Emperor's army can't stand it, they are the ones who are most afraid of the rain, and this storm has poured them down. The Yellow Emperor hurriedly informed Ying Long to stop the rain immediately, but the wind god Yubo let the downpour rain go on and on.

The Yellow Emperor was furious, and went to heaven to ask God, and the Queen Mother sent the ugly girl "Drought Fish" to help. The ugly girl was bare-headed and had no hair, which was extremely ugly. But she has a very magical ability, and wherever she goes, it is very hot, as if she is roasted by fire.

Sure enough, as soon as the drought fish went into battle, the situation changed dramatically. When the Wind Boyu Master saw that the drought was coming, he was already frightened to death, so he fled one after another. It was only at this point that the storm came to an abrupt end.

The drought first walked back and forth in the flood on the ground, and all the rain on the ground disappeared in an instant, and she walked through the Yellow Emperor's team again, and the moisture on the soldiers also evaporated.

The drought fish rushed to the Chiyou army again, and suddenly, the scorching sun was shining in the sky on the side of the Chiyou team. The Chiyou army was immediately roasted by the scorching sun, and they were drowsy one by one.

At this time, the generals of the Yellow Emperor, such as Fenghou and Li Mu, led the six divine beasts and commanded the Xuanyuan chariot to rush over from all directions. Then, the Empress Feng led the Yellow Emperor's army to set up a gossip formation, only to see the Empress Feng standing on the guide car and commanding the team.

He waved his battle flag and shouted, "Queue up and obey!" Eight formations out! ”

I saw that the team was in formation, and everyone was ready to fight.

After the wind, he said: "All teams listen to orders, you should always obey the order, go all out, and walk in unison!" Attention warriors, you have to give the order! The guerrilla army crept on the enemy from behind, or shocked its left or right, listened to the sound and looked at the command, in order to make four surprises. ”

After the wind fell, all the armies went out, lined up, and arranged in one go, and the entire battlefield was instantly controlled in the queue after the wind.

Then the wind queen said: "Before heaven and earth, rush into the wings of a tiger, and the wind is a snake; The tiger dwells in the middle, spreads its wings and advances; The snake dwells at both ends, and the pan responds to the enemy. ”

After the order was given, there was another surge, and the teams were arranged in an orderly manner, and they were either forward, or behind, left, or right, and followed the order.

After the wind, he said: "After heaven and earth, rush for the flying dragon, and the clouds for the bird; The dragon dwells in it, and spreads its wings to advance; The birds are tucked at both ends, and they fly to meet the enemy."

After receiving the order, the arrays of each team were surging again, and the enemy camp was suddenly crying wolf.

After the wind, seeing that the formation was strictly forbidden and the formation was agreeable, he waved the battle flag and said: "Below heaven and earth, eightfold columns." We should seize the opportunity to look at the enemy, that is, lead them behind, and move to the front with a corner, and the front line is secondary. Or merge into one, separate into eight, with the number of teachers, touch and grow. ”

As soon as this formation was formed, the Yellow Emperor's army overwhelmed Chi You's side with overwhelming momentum. Chiyou's team no longer had the same majesty as before, and they had already fled in fear.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chiyou had to lead the few remaining remnants of the defeated army to break out of the encirclement, and they fled to the southeast. In fact, the outcome of the entire battle has been decided, and they can't escape from the palm of the Yellow Emperor.

The Yellow Emperor's army became more and more courageous, and just as they were about to catch up with Chiyou, Chiyou disappeared into a swamp. The Yellow Emperor saw that Chi You was hiding in the swamp and never came out, so he had to exert his strength to stir up the swamp into a muddy mess.

The muddy water overwhelmed Chiyou, and he finally escaped from the swamp like a mud man. Then he jumped into a large lake not far away. The water depth of the great lake was bottomless, and after waiting for a long time, he did not come up, so the Yellow Emperor went up to heaven again to ask for support.

Although they haven't seen each other for many days, the situation is urgent, after the Yellow Emperor saw the Emperor Fuxi, Nuwa Niangniang, the Jade Emperor, and the Queen Mother, everyone chatted lightly, but they didn't have time to talk in detail, so the Yellow Emperor went straight to the point and asked for reinforcements.

Seeing that the matter was urgent, the Jade Emperor immediately sent a Xuan Turtle patrolling the sea in the Heavenly Kingdom to the Yellow Emperor. And the Yellow Emperor did not dare to slack off, he hurriedly bid farewell to the Jade Emperor and Fuxi, and led the sea patrol turtle back to the world.

And this big turtle does have mana, and after it followed the Yellow Emperor to the lake, he observed it by the lake. Then, he sprinkled the demon slaying charm he had brought with him into the lake.

Later, the turtle also dived into the lake, and as soon as it reached the water, it recited a spell. Chi You really couldn't stand the curse of the turtle, and his whole body hurt like a needle prick with a thousand swords. Chiyou had just surfaced and was soon brought ashore.

After the Yellow Emperor caught Chi You, Chi You actually used mana to protect himself and repeatedly killed him. The Yellow Emperor held the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand and secretly recited the sword spell, and then he executed Chi You with one sword. Chiyou's head was cut off, and his body and head were buried in two separate places.

Because the place where Chiyou was killed is rich in salt, people say that the salt there is made from Chiyou's blood. Moreover, the place where Chi You's head was in a different place was later called "Jiezhou".
