The Eleventh Age, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor Chapter 13 The Battle of Zhuolu
Prior to the Battle of Hanquan, Chiyou's tribal alliance had a slightly higher level of productivity than the Yellow Emperor and Yandi tribal groups. At the very least, Chiyou's weapons are well-made, and the army is brave and good at fighting, so they are invincible. Left behind the prestige of "copper head and iron forehead" and "Megatron".
At that time, the Yellow Emperor tribe had not yet participated in the war, and although the Yandi tribe hurriedly blocked the battle, they could not resist the strong Chiyou army. Later, the Chiyou army approached all the way to the west and carried out a large-scale robbery and sweep of the Yugang tribe.
The Chiyou army continued to invade the city and plunder the land in the Yandi tribe. Emperor Yan Yu couldn't resist it, and he could only retreat. Jiang Yu recklessly retreated and retreated, until they were driven out of the imperial capital "Kongsang" by Chiyou.
At that time, Chi You even occupied the original territory of the Yandi tribe, and he didn't even leave a corner for Yu Gang. Jiang Yu and they were forced to abandon the capital "Kongsang" and lead their people to move back to their hometown "Yichuan".
At that time, fortunately, Yu Gang united the Yellow Emperor tribe in time, which reversed the situation towards extinction. And the Yellow Emperor also took a few years to capture Chi You again, since Chi You was beheaded, his brothers with copper heads and iron arms have lost their support.
The Yellow Emperor subdued Chi You's brothers, and some of them moved their families to the borderlands.
And most of the chiefs of the Jiuli tribe who were originally subservient to Chiyou, after they were captured, they saw that there was no way out, and the Yellow Emperor was merciful. They had no choice but to surrender, and most of them surrendered to the Yellow Emperor.
The Yellow Emperor cherished talents, so he used them in different categories. Those who were kind and talented among the prisoners of war were assigned to work in useful places, or to impart some knowledge in various fields, or to promote their advanced experience and technology.
Among the prisoners of war, there were also some evil people who did not listen to discipline, and the Yellow Emperor gathered them together and sent special people to manage them. And drive them to remote places, so that they can reflect on their suffering, and go through tribulations.
With the victory of the Battle of Hanquan, the Yellow Emperor issued preferential policies to give preferential treatment to those who came to defect. Therefore, people rushed to tell each other that they were willing to submit, and the prestige of China was famous, and all tribes in the world came to surrender one after another.
The benevolent Emperor Yan never expected that the Yellow Emperor would buy people's hearts like this. Even the subordinates of the Yan Emperor Yu Gang were attracted by the enlightened policies of the Yellow Emperor, and they no longer refused to pay tribute to Yu Gang's court, and they all defected to the Central Plains Hua Kingdom.
Emperor Yan Yu saw that he was about to become the commander of the light pole, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. Jiang Yuyan never understood that he himself was also conscientious in governing the world, and he had never been slack, why did those who originally believed in him leave him?
Jiang Yu was thinking, his ancestor Yandi Shennong's clan came out of a barbaric era, they worked hard to establish the world for five hundred years, all this was really not easy, could it be handed over to Xuanyuan in vain?
Yu Yan thought about it again, but he still couldn't accept it in his heart, and he always felt that he was so sorry for the ancestors. In the end, Jiang Yugang still couldn't figure it out, so he decided to compete with the Yellow Emperor, and he was determined to take back the position of the co-lord of the world that the Yandi tribe had lost.
As a result, Emperor Yan began to be angry and worked hard. Yu Yan first convened a meeting of his ministers in the former capital of Yichuan to discuss the attack on the Yellow Emperor's tribe. The ministers all advised Emperor Yan to restrain and persuade him not to hit the stone with an egg, so as not to lose both, for fear that he would bring disaster to the whole clan.
Emperor Yan insisted on fighting, and the ministers couldn't stop it. So, everyone had to help Emperor Yan offer advice. Some of them helped him recruit soldiers, some helped him recruit talents, some helped him make weapons, some helped him build an army, some helped him plan for battle, and some helped him arrange troops and train his troops.
After several years of preparation, Emperor Yan Yu also formed an iron-blooded army, and their strength has gradually become stronger. Then, Emperor Yan and Emperor Yan formed a tribal alliance army with the Dongyi and Yandi Kuikui tribes.
Jiang Yugang and their team drove all the way to Zhuolu, the capital of the Yellow Emperor's tribe, and saw that the two sides were about to start a life-and-death battle in Zhuolu. The soldiers of the Yellow Emperor had already discovered that Emperor Yan Yu had already arrived at the city of Zhuolu.
The Yellow Emperor stood on the city wall and asked Yu Ran: "Emperor Yan, why did you come uninvited, why did you want to meet me in battle?" ”
Emperor Yan said: "Yellow Emperor, I want to ask you, after we jointly defeated Chiyou, why did you want to take Chiyou's territory as your own?" Where do I deserve my share? ”
The Yellow Emperor said: "Emperor Yan, you can't say that, you came to me for help when you were chased by Chiyou, and Chiyou was annihilated by me, so what reason do you have to ask me for the results of the battle?" Can't I have the final say in the world I have conquered? ”
Emperor Yan said angrily: "Yellow Emperor, I thought you were very righteous, but in fact, you are not. It's not false that you defeated Chiyou, but with my help, you shouldn't have taken up all the territory that Chiyou grabbed me. Just like the land in Hanquan, you should return it to me, it shouldn't be appropriate for you to snatch it, right? ”
The Yellow Emperor said: "I took Hanquan back from Chiyou, I killed and injured so many brothers there, and Hanquan didn't take it from you, what's wrong?" If you have the ability, you have to go back. ”
Emperor Yan said: "Yellow Emperor, this is what you said, the purpose of my coming here is to take even your Zhuolu City, are you willing?" ”
The Yellow Emperor sneered: "Emperor Yan, don't overwhelm yourself. Although I, Xuanyuan, am belligerent, I will only fight for justice. I advise you not to be bored and save yourself from unnecessary sacrifices. For the sake of the kindness of the Yandi tribe, I have long regarded you as my father and brother. Now that I have given you the least respect, and I can't bear to hurt more innocent people, I advise you to go back obediently. ”
Emperor Yan also sneered: "Yellow Emperor, don't say anything about it, it's not certain who wins and who loses now?" ”
The Yellow Emperor shook his head and said, "I can't do it!" But if you have to fight a decisive battle, let's set it in three days! ”
"Good! Deal! ”
Since Emperor Yan issued a war letter, the Yellow Emperor could not refuse, so he could only rise to the challenge. When the Yellow Emperor saw that the general Li Mu was with him, he ordered him to go down and let Li Mu and the Queen of the Wind make a battle plan.
Li Mu said to the Yellow Emperor: "Yellow Emperor, Chi You is a brave and combative guy with a hideous face. Although he is dead, his image of being brave and fighting is still very fearful. In my opinion, wouldn't it be better for us to embroider the terrifying and terrifying image of Chi You on our battle flags as a "totem of deterrence" and use this military flag to inspire our troops to fight bravely, and also to use it to intimidate those enemy soldiers who dare to oppose us. ”
The Yellow Emperor agreed, and asked the ancestor to lead people to embroider Chiyou's hideous head on the battle flags overnight. The ancestor and the sisters hurried to embroider the battle flag at dawn on the third day. Just as the wind rose, the battle flag fluttered fiercely on the city.
The Yellow Emperor originally wanted to use the battle flag to scare the Yandi tribe, who were not good at fighting, and he wanted the Yandi tribe to retreat without a fight. When Emperor Yan's troops saw the battle flag embroidered with Chiyou's hideous face, they were also so frightened that they didn't dare to move forward.
Battle flags fluttered in the wind, like countless chiyou swaying overhead. The soldiers of Yu Gang trembled when they saw the battle flag, and some of them even threw down their weapons and fled.
Yu saw that the soldiers were running and scattering, and many soldiers were terrified, so he comforted everyone not to be afraid. Yu Yan finally gathered everyone again, and the soldiers rushed forward with trepidation.
The Yellow Emperor saw that Yu's soldiers were as timid as rats, and he was not in a hurry to kill, but let a group of people come over first. Then they took the first people to come prisoner, and the Yellow Emperor also ordered the soldiers to treat these captives well.
Then, the Yellow Emperor sent his ministers to walk among the soldiers of the Yan Emperor, saying that the Yellow Emperor was a god who descended to the mortal world. The Yellow Emperor is the most merciful immortal in the sky, he has divine power to help, he will not kill innocents, his army is disciplined, and his soldiers are fierce and good at fighting.
The ministers also advised the soldiers not to make unnecessary sacrifices. Let them hide when they can in wartime, avoid when they can, and try to protect themselves as much as possible. Then, the Yellow Emperor put this part of the soldiers back. The soldiers who returned told the others the stories they had heard.
Yu Yan saw that the Yellow Emperor came to deceive people's hearts again, so he said to the soldiers: "Don't believe the Yellow Emperor's demagogy, there are no ghosts and gods in the world, and I have never seen ghosts and gods." Therefore, you should drop everything and go to Zhuolu City with me. ”
Under the mobilization of Jiang Yugang, the soldiers had the courage to kill Zhuolu City. The war began, and with a shout after the wind, the military flags of the Yellow Emperor's ranks fluttered high, and the hideous face of Chi You kept swinging on the military flags.
When Yu's army was cowering again, the Yellow Emperor's army poured out of the city like a tide. This momentum made Yu Gang worry again, it didn't matter if they were nervous, the soldiers and soldiers were all messed up, and they forgot the essentials of their formation.
And the army of the Yellow Emperor, under the command of Li Mu after the wind, is indeed a formation coordination, and the more you fight, the more courageous you are. After several battles between the two sides, they saw that the Yellow Emperor's army was becoming stronger and stronger, and the momentum was like a bamboo. And Emperor Yan's army was already weak and vulnerable.
In the end, Emperor Yan's army was really unable to withstand the fierce attack of the Yellow Emperor, and their ranks had already suffered casualties. Yu was afraid that the soldiers would be wounded more and more, so he had to lead his subordinates to disarm and surrender.
This battle only took a few days, and the two sides did not suffer many casualties, and it was not easy to do anything. Jiang Yu knew that he was powerless to fight against the Xuanyuan clan, so he asked for a truce.
Jiang Yu looked up to the sky and sighed: "Yellow Emperor, it's me who is confused, it's me who can't lead the soldiers to ask for their own hardships, please bypass us!" As a tribal chief, I cannot but consider the safety and welfare of the general public, and I have no choice but to ask for a truce. ”
The Yellow Emperor said: "Emperor Yan, at first, there was peace and friendship between our tribes, but now I don't want to promise you so soon, I still want a condition!" ”
"Yellow Emperor, what conditions? You say, as long as I can do it, I will promise you. ”
"Emperor Yan, this condition is not high, as long as you promise to give up the throne, everything will be fine."
"You, you, you?"
"Emperor Yan, since your general trend has gone, you don't have any illusions anymore. I will read it for the sake of your Yandi clan as the descendants of the Shennong clan, and I will take special care of you. What's more, everyone in your Yandi tribe loves peace and has made great contributions to mankind, so I should treat you even more well. Therefore, if you are not the leader of the tribe, I will give you the corresponding rights to continue to manage the Yandi clan. ”
When Emperor Yan heard this, tears fell like rain, and he knelt on the ground and cried to God: "Ancestors! Your descendant Jiang Yu is ashamed of you, please forgive me, this unworthy descendant, will repent to you for the last time. ”
The Yellow Emperor said: "Emperor Yan, you don't have to be like this, I don't want your life, I just want you to hand over the throne." If I could, I would seal you in Luoshui Lu City now. ”
Emperor Yan said indignantly: "Yellow Emperor, thank you for your kindness, Yu Yan is incompetent, Yu Yan has no choice." In order for my tribe to be less harmed, I can only reluctantly submit to your Yellow Emperor. Because, I have to be willing to listen to your arrangement and make an alliance with you. It seems that only in this way can our people survive better. ”
When the Yellow Emperor saw that Emperor Yan's ambition had passed away, he smiled and said to Emperor Yan: "Emperor Yan, don't be unconvinced. It's the same for you to manage and I to manage the world, and even my management method is more reasonable. Therefore, I will compete with you for the right to manage the land of God. ”
"Yellow Emperor, you are too domineering. However, I, Jiang Yu, refuse to accept the title, I want to abandon the lord and lead my family to move to Jiangnan. I want to go over there and make a career out of medicine to save lives and help the wounded. ”
The Yellow Emperor said: "Emperor Yan, this can't be, I only allow you to continue to manage the people there within your own territory, and continue to be the chief of the Yandi tribe." I don't want those people to lose your rule. ”
Emperor Yan said: "Why do you bother? ”
The Yellow Emperor said: "The reason why I can tolerate you is because we are both descendants of the dragon, you are our brothers, and the Yandi family has always inherited the fine traditions of the Chinese nation, and is a nation worthy of everyone's trust." Therefore, I have always regarded you as our closest family, and I am willing to form a great national integration with you, so as to carry forward our Chinese nation. ”
Emperor Yan thought for a moment and said, "Since the Yellow Emperor is very willing to cooperate with us, he is also very supportive of the Great Tribal Alliance. Therefore, I will continue to lead our people to be friendly with the Yellow Emperor tribe. ”
The Yellow Emperor said happily: "Emperor Yan, you're right!" We will always be a family that loves each other. ”
Since then, the Yellow Emperor has also issued a special decree to allow friendship between the Yan and Huang tribes, and allow each other to intermarry and marry. And encourage both parties to learn from good experience and can transfer technical knowledge.
As for the Yan Emperor Yu Gang, the Yellow Emperor only allowed Yu Gang to continue to be the chief of his Yan tribe within the scope of his own domain. He just demoted Yu Gang by one rank, so that he was always under the leadership of the Yellow Emperor tribe.
Jiang Yu was very grateful when he saw that the Yellow Emperor could keep his promise, always treat everyone in the Yandi tribe kindly, and let them enjoy the same treatment as the Yellow Emperor's tribe. He was glad that he did not become a sinner of the nation, but fortunately, these were all given by the Yellow Emperor.
Although Emperor Yan was grateful, he still laughed at himself and said: "Shennong has been in the world for five hundred years, and when it comes to the seventeenth generation of my dynasty, I am really useless." But fortunately, the Yellow Emperor finally counts, after he unified the world, not only can he treat my people well, but the people have not fallen into suffering, as long as the people do not suffer, everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, I will be relieved. ”
