Subsection 1

The day before the Eastern Expedition, Lu Shang went to the palace to meet King Wu and presented the recital he had made last night. The doctor is scattered and the book is exhibited on the imperial case. Ziya prostrated himself and said:

"Jiang Shang is fortunate to be hired by the first king, and he has not served the report of the encounter, and he has been worshiped by the king as a general. Today, I specially invite the king of martial arts to conquer in person, with the wish of the heavenly people, and the respect of the king to conquer the world, and the spirit of the king to calm the people's hearts. ”

King Wu thought for a moment and replied:

"Father's move is in line with the lonely heart."

Hurriedly unfolded the recital, read it carefully, and asked after reading it:

"Father, when will you start?"

Lu Shang replied:

"The old minister's drill is stopped, and he will come back tomorrow to ask for the sacrificial journey."

King Wu ordered a banquet, the two monarchs and ministers drank and talked happily, and they were in a good mood for a drink, and they chatted non-stop about state and military affairs.

"The men, horses, and military rations are all ready, please rest assured that the king will go east."

"The father is careful in his actions, and he is alone with the father of the east, who is the internal affairs entrusted to?"

"The doctor is scattered and should be born, but he can be responsible for state affairs, and he can be trusted."

"Who can I trust with foreign affairs?"

"The old general Huang Roll, experienced and old, can be responsible for military affairs."

"Father Xiang is in a good place, so that the lonely is happy, so that there is no need to worry about advancing and retreating!"

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Ji sent back to the inner room, said goodbye to his mother, made a big gift, and said while serving tea:

"After enlightening the mother, the father wants to meet the princes in Mengjin, and the child will enter the five passes, drive out the traitors and return to the government and business, even if he comes back. Don't dare to disobey the precepts of your father. ”

The old queen mother picked up the child and said with a smile:

"As the king of a country, how can a child easily perform such a great gift. Prime Minister Jiang Cheng will never go wrong on this trip, and the child can follow the command of his father in all matters. ”

Ji Fa said with tears in his eyes:

"The queen mother, the child will always be the queen mother's child, tomorrow will travel far away, I don't know how long, I hope the queen mother cherishes it."

The mother and son said goodbye. Ji Fa returned to his home and said goodbye to his wife, and I was very reluctant to let the two of them go. However, there is a country before there is a home, and the responsibility of the king of a country is too heavy.

The next morning, after the sacrifice, the signs were good. Generalissimo Lu Shang, King Wu Jifa. He led 100,000 heroes to leave Xiqi, and King Wu personally rode a war horse and led the Royal Forest Army, which was majestic and heroic. Under the border city, I saw all the royal brothers and ministers sending each other off, preparing wine for King Wu and the marshal, and the brothers entered the wine, after King Wu and Lu Shang drank heartily. Take advantage of the auspicious day and set up troops to leave the city.

The Zhou army left Xiqi. All the way to the east, do not disturb the people, open the road in the mountains, build bridges in the water, and the march is very smooth. A few days later, while the brigade was marching, the forward team was stopped by two old men, who were gray-haired, wide-sleeved, and linen-footed, standing in the middle of it, shouting:

"Where are you going? The old man and the decrepit, who want to see you, will answer. ”

At that time, it was very rare to see people in their seventies and eighties, and the average age of people was about forty. The outpost scout immediately hurried to report the matter to the Chinese army, and reported to Lu Shang in front of him:

"Marshal Kai! There were two old men blocking the way, wanting the marshal to answer, but we did not dare to slack off, so we came to ask for instructions. ”

After hearing this, Lu Shang knew that either the master or the great sage came, and hurriedly asked the king of martial arts to come forward with him to meet him, only to see the two old men bow forward and say:

"The virtuous marquis and Ziya Gong, Yi, have seen each other."

King Wu and Lu Shang each bowed their hands and said:

"With armor on your body, you can't get off the ride. What do you know about the two blocking the way? ”

"Today, the virtuous marquis and Ziya Gong raised troops, where are they going?"

Lu Shangyan said:

"The king has no way, disobeys the fate of heaven, abuses the people, burns the loyal and good, is lawless, and filthy and virtuous. But my first king stuck to the western soil, the emperor ordered me to be the first king, Su Tianwei, now I assist the heir, and respectfully carry out the punishment of heaven. I will meet with the princes and meet in Mengjin, so I have to raise troops to meet with the princes, drive out the traitors, and watch the government in business, which is the last resort. ”

"I heard that the son did not speak of his father's fault, and the minister did not show the evil of the king. Therefore, the father has a son, and the king has a minister. I only heard that I was grateful for virtue, but I didn't hear about the following and cut down the above. Today's great king and king, although there are immorals, why not give sincere advice, to do the courtier's festival, but also to be loyal. In addition, Xibo served Yin, and he did not hear of it as good as business. I also heard that all the virtues were touched, and all the benevolences were convinced. Gou Zhizhi is virtuous and benevolent in me, why not turn cruelty into pure goodness? In my humble opinion, it is not good to retreat to the courtier's festival, to honor the sincerity of the king's service, and to keep the distinction between kings and ministers through the ages? ”

When King Wu heard this, he felt ashamed and was silent. Lu Shang hurriedly said:

Although the words of the two are good, but they do not know right and wrong, today they are drowning, the people are like sitting on fire and water, the three outlines have been extinct, the four dimensions have been broken, the heavens are angry at the top, the people are resentful at the bottom, when the world is turned upside down, when the four seas are boiling, do not listen to the people's desires, and the heavens will follow it. Is it a dead end today? If I don't go along with the sky, I will only be guilty. And the sky sees itself and the people see it, and the sky listens to its own people, so can you not raise troops to go? If you can't afford to fight, it is against the sky, and won't you have the intention of disappointing the people like looking at the clouds? ”

The soldiers on the left and right wanted to continue the march, but the two of them knew that they could not persuade the Zhou army to retreat, so they persuaded each other with death, walked to the horse, blocked each other with their bodies, and cried:

"My father is not buried when he dies, and he is filial to help and fight, can it be described as filial piety? To defeat the king with a minister, can it be described as loyal? I am afraid of the world and the future generations, and I am the one who has the truth for it. ”

When the generals saw Yi and Qilama, the sergeants were not allowed to advance, and they were furious in their hearts and wanted to raise troops to kill them. Lu Shang hurriedly stopped it and said angrily:

"Don't make a mistake, and the righteous of this world are also. Hold them aside, wait for our army to pass, and then let go of the two. ”

When the soldiers heard the order, they forced them to go, and the army continued to march.

Subsection 2

Outside the Bishui Pass, there is a lofty mountain and a steep range, called Jinji Ridge, the terrain is very dangerous, it is a place where soldiers must fight, a group of merchant troops chokes this throat road, intending to make the Zhou soldiers unable to advance. Lu Shang knew the situation here, and took Huang Tianhua as the leader, pretending not to know that the merchant soldiers were stationed, and marched wantonly. The main general of the forward force of the merchant army saw that the Zhou army had come, and the formation was loose, Huang Tianhua pretended to be defeated, and fled with a false shot, took the fire dragon dart, and threw it out when he returned his hand, and came to fall in response. Nezha had long had itchy hands, and he had been killed before the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and the spears of the fire were swept into the clouds, injuring countless people, and a general of the merchant army saw the tragic death of the soldiers, and hurriedly turned his horse to resist, shouting:

"Little Nezha, come slowly! Don't hurt my soldiers, fight your grandfather! ”

Nezha was interested and laughed:

"Now that you know my name, you must not be an ordinary general, why don't you get off the horse and die early?"

"I heard that you are excellent in Taoism, I knew that I would get you today, don't be arrogant!"

Nezha attacked with a gun and said with a smile:

"You come by name, and your head will be recorded in the merit book."

The general was furious, the spear ran to Nezha's heart, and the momentum was tricky and fast, Nezha smiled and teased:

"Piff is good, you can play a few tricks with me, I'll play with you!"

Wherever the fire-tipped spear goes, it is like a flame, and it will specialize in the place where Nezha's moves are exhausted with skill, and the spear does not meet the fire-tipped spear, and the wheeled horse is circling, and it can even protect itself. This person knew that he couldn't beat Nezha, so when he saw that he was good, he pretended to be defeated and left, and wanted to steal the hidden weapon, Nezha saw that he had escaped, and took the Qiankun circle and looked at the air to sacrifice, and only heard the sound of brittle bones cracking and clicking......

Under one blow, more than a dozen people were killed in a row...... (To be continued......)
