Chapter 4 Guilt is deserved
After the death of King Xuan of Zhou, his womb Nirvana succeeded to the throne and was the king of Zhou You. At that time, a major earthquake occurred in the area of Guanzhong, where Wang Ji of the Zhou Dynasty was located, and the drought for many years caused the people to suffer from hunger and cold, exile, social turmoil, and national strength. And King Zhou You is a debaucherous and unscrupulous king, he does not want to save the Zhou Dynasty from danger, and works hard, but reuses the minister Yu Shifu, exploits the people, and intensifies the class contradictions; He also attacked Xijon and was defeated. At this time, there was a minister named Bao Jue who advised King You, but King Zhou You not only listened, but imprisoned Bao Jue.
Bao Jue was imprisoned for three years. The people of the Bao country did everything possible to rescue Bao Jue. They heard that King Zhou You was so beautiful that he was ordering the world's beauties to enter the palace, so they took this opportunity to visit the beauties. Finally, he found a very beautiful girl and bought her, taught her to sing and dance, and dressed her up, named her Bao Xi, and dedicated it to the king of You. Atonement for the sins of Bao Jue.
When King You saw Bao Jue, he was shocked and loved her very much, and immediately made her a concubine, and at the same time released Bao Jue. After the king of Youwang was praised for himself, he spoiled her very much and blindly lived a life of absurdity and luxury. Although Bao Xi was born as bright as a peach and plum, but cold as frost, since entering the palace has never laughed once, in order to win Bao Xi's happy smile, you Wang did not hesitate to do everything possible, but Bao Xi did not smile all day long. For this reason, the king of Youwang actually offered a reward for a plan, who could attract a smile and a bounty of a thousand taels. At this time, there was a minister named Yu Shifu, who thought of an idea for King Zhou You and proposed to try it with a beacon tower.
The beacon fire was originally an emergency military warning signal when the enemy invaded in ancient times. From the national capital to the border town fortress, beacon towers are set up all along the way. In order to prevent the intrusion of dogs, the Western Zhou Dynasty built more than 20 beacon towers in the area of Lishan near Haojing (in the southeast of present-day Lintong, Shaanxi), one every few miles. Once the dog Rong attacked, the first sentinel to be found immediately lit a beacon fire on the platform, and the neighboring beacon towers were also lit one after another, alerting the nearby princes. When the princes saw the beacon fire, they knew that the capital was in an emergency, and the Son of Heaven was in trouble, so they had to raise troops to serve the king and rush to the rescue. Father Yu Shi offered a plan to make the beacon tower light the beacon fire for no reason, and attract the princes to come and run for nothing, so as to make Bao Xi laugh.
The mediocre King of Zhou You adopted the suggestion of Yu Shifu, and immediately took Bao Xi, accompanied by Yu Shifu, to climb the Lishan beacon tower and ordered the guards to light the beacon fire. For a time, the wolf smoke was everywhere, and the beacon flames soared into the sky, and the princes from all over the country saw the alarm and thought that the dog Rong was coming, so they led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to rush to the rescue. When I arrived at the foot of Li Mountain, there was not even a shadow of a dog soldier, only the sound of music and singing on the mountain was heard. King Zhou You sent someone to tell them that after working hard for everyone, there was nothing to do here, but the king and the princess set off fireworks for fun, and the princes knew that they were being teased and returned with grievances. Seeing that thousands of troops were summoned, they came and went, like child's play, and felt very funny, and couldn't help but smile. King Zhou You was overjoyed and immediately rewarded his father's daughter.
This is the famous "Beacon Opera Princes" in history.
Zhou Guo, Ho Jingnai.
"Your Majesty, the Rong clan led 30,000 elite soldiers to surround Hojing, how is it good?" Said a minister.
King Zhou You was hugging his concubine at this time, and when he heard that the Rong clan led troops to attack the imperial capital, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Hurry up!" Please! ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the beacon fire has been lit a long time ago, but I don't see any of the vassal states coming!"
"Alas! This, this, this...... How is it good? ”
"Your Majesty! If it weren't for the princes of the Beacon Fire Theater, I'm afraid this situation would not have happened. Another old minister said.
"Sigh! Hugh is babbling gibberish in front of me! The Rong tribe is coming, you go down to defend yourself, if the Rong tribe really attacks, you and I can't survive! ”
"Yes!"
As soon as the two ministers retreated, their heads were covered with cold sweat, and the soldiers in the city were only 10,000 in total, and the city was difficult to defend.
The two immediately found the general Nangong Shi and the general Shen Bo and asked them to send troops to meet them.
At that moment, the drums were beating loudly outside.
"Report! The Rong clan is outside to fight the enemy and scold the array! Claim that if we don't send any more troops, they're going to come in! ”
"That's right, Daima carries the knife!" Saying that, Nangong Shi and Shen Bo ordered most of the soldiers to rush out of the city.
As soon as they arrived outside the city, the two of them were taken aback, only to see that the enemy troops outside were densely packed, as if they were overwhelming.
At this moment, one of the leaders of the Rong clan urged Ma to rush straight to Nangong Shi with a sword, and the two of them started to move without saying a word. (Even if they speak, they can't understand each other, and they have to wait for someone to translate one by one.) )
I saw Nangong Shi, raising a knife and slashing the thief's horse's neck, and the man didn't expect this person to use this kind of trick, just listen to "Gollum!" With a bang, the horse's head hit the ground, and blood splattered.
The general of the dog Rong clan seemed to step on the air, "Dang!" Falling heavily on the ground, Nangong Shi saw the opportunity, came to the front, and chopped the knife.
"Click!" This knife was like cutting a watermelon, cutting the Rong generals under their horses.
The Wenchen generals at the head of the city saw that Nangong Shi had won for a while, and they were all praising Nangong Shi.
"General Nangong, if you can repel the Rong clan, this prime minister will make you a high-ranking official!"
"General Nangong! Good job, hack a few more, this prince will be rewarded! ”
“…………”
At this time, another general came out of the Rong army, who had a machete in one hand and went straight to Nangong Shi.
Nangong Shi slashed at the person's head with a thunderous momentum, and when the person saw the knife coming, he didn't dodge or dodge, and raised his double knives to slash Nangong Shi's head.
That person originally thought: If I slash through with this knife, you must stop it.
Nangong Shi also thought: You don't block it? I don't stand in the way! When my knife is over, see if you can still stop it? If you don't stop you, you'll die!
The result was not what they expected.
Just listen to "Click! With two sounds, neither of them was defenseless, and their heads were cut off at the same time.
The civil and military generals standing at the head of the city looked at it, my God, what are the tactics of these two people? Right?
"Rush!" The leader of the Dog Rong clan shouted, "Kill King Zhou You, a reward of one hundred taels!" Hack other civilian officials and military generals to death for a bounty of one or two! ”
The morale of the soldiers of the Dog Rong clan has been greatly boosted, and one or two taels of gold are enough to live for half a lifetime, not to mention the reward of one hundred taels for killing King Zhou You!
I saw the soldiers of the Inurong tribe, like a tide, each raising his sword and spear, and rushing to the city gate with you and me.
"Close the gates! Put away the drawbridge! The death-fearing ghost gate in the city shouted desperately.
Regardless of the fact that there were soldiers and generals outside the city who did not come in, he closed the city gate with a "bang" and put away the drawbridge.
The archers in the city immediately opened their bows and released arrows, and the rain of arrows rained down like a storm, and the soldiers of the Dog Ring Clan rushed desperately to the city gate under the temptation of the bounty.
In addition, the soldiers of the Dog Ring Clan were numerous and sophisticated, and soon, there were soldiers who could swim desperately to rush across the moat.
After that, a big log weighing more than ten catties was transported over and carried by more than a dozen strong men, using the strength of milk, and their teeth were gritted with a "gurgling" sound.
"One! Two! Three! ”
"Dang!" The wood slammed into the city gate like a mad bull.
"One! Two! Three! ”
"Dang!"
…………
Wood kept pounding against the gates.
"One! Two! Three! ”
"Bang dang!" The gates of the city were violently opened by the force of the impact.
The dog Rong soldiers were all brave, all of them rushed to be the first, dancing and swords like a flood, and killed the Zhou army.
For a time, more than 30,000 people fought to the death in the city like two rivers colliding, and for a time, knives and guns flew indiscriminately, blood splashed everywhere, as if an old farmer was harvesting wheat in the autumn, and the corpses on the ground were piled up like mountains.
At this time, Shen Bo rushed to the palace and shouted: "It's amazing! Your Majesty! The thieves have attacked! Get out of here! ”
King Zhou You is hugging Bao Xi at the moment, on the throne, I am so unhappy, I don't know who the soldiers and generals outside are working for and who they are sacrificing!
At this time, when King Zhou You heard that the Rong clan had really come in, he could no longer hide the horror in his heart. Only in a trembling voice said, "Quick...... Fast...... Get me out of town! ”
"The carriage is outside, Your Majesty, please go outside quickly!"
"Oh...... Oh! As he spoke, he pulled Bao Xi with one hand and Shen Bo with the other (Youwang was so frightened that he couldn't walk, and he was almost about to pee his pants, so he had to use Shen Bo's strength to reluctantly limp up. )
Finally, King Youxi pulled Bao Xi into the carriage, and Shen Bo took the remaining more than 200 guards and hurriedly ran towards the west gate.
"Your Majesty! Quickly send soldiers to set fire to the east gate and create some illusions for the Rong people! Then they will think that we have fled at the east gate! ”
"Good...... Good...... Good! Come! Burn down the East Gate! ”
Some of the soldiers received orders and left the ranks.
After the more than 200 people rushed out of the west gate like arrows, Shen Bo said, "Your Majesty! It's out of town! You're safe! But! Ministers, you can't leave, there are still a lot of civil servants and military generals who will be trapped in the city! Only when the minister rescues everyone can he have the face to go back! If not! The minister died in battle! With that, he bowed his hand on his horse, and the barge horse rushed again towards the city.
It was like a rain of blood on the walls, on the ground, and on the doors.
As soon as he came to the center of the city, he suddenly saw that King Zhou Ping was leading people to kill the east gate, and the soldiers of the dog Rong tribe were gathering on a large scale outside the east gate.
At this moment, the battle had already begun, and Shen Bo rushed into the team with a boneless support fork in his hand.
"Chitose Taino! It's coming! ”
"Old Aiqing! Come and escort! From the voice, you can hear the excitement of King Ping.
This group of people, like modern tanks, defeated the Dog Rong clan one after another.
For a while, the surroundings were full of shouts and killings, the sound of weapons colliding, and screams......
Finally rushed out of the east gate, there were more and more soldiers of the Dog Rong tribe, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty.
Shen Bo took the lead and wanted to fight a bloody way for King Ping.
But no sooner had he rushed into the enemy than he was stabbed to death by a pikeman, and with the neighing of the horse, Shenbo fell head-to-head under the horse.
Although he was a little dizzy from the fall, Shen Bo stood up on the spot, and more than a dozen soldiers of the Dog Rong clan surrounded Shen Bo and then used their eyes at each other, and more than a dozen people stabbed Shen Bo together.
"Poof, poof, poof, poof......" More than a dozen big guns all pierced Shen Bo's waist, and blood stained the sky red.
More than a dozen people used their hands to force Shen Bo in the air.
As he was dying, Shen Bo looked at King Ping and them, shook his head, and sighed.
At this time, King Ping, with only a dozen people left around him, could not stop the attack of the Dog Rong clan at all.
At this critical moment of crisis, only to hear the two wings of the dog Rong clan in chaos, each wing rushed to more than 3,000 demon prison dead soldiers, like a tiger into a wolf pack, the cavalry held a spear, fast like a whirlwind, put out the two dragons out of the water array, this formation swing, the dog Rong clan was isolated from each other, unable to contact, morale greatly reduced.
"King Ping! It's your own people! Help has arrived! The sharp-eyed soldier shouted.
"Thank goodness! Whose rescuers are they? ”
"Look at the flag, huh...... It's Zou Guo! ”
On the big flag fluttering in the wind, there is a particularly eye-catching big word: "Zou".
In this situation, I was so moved to see this kind of banner!
At this time, a young man drove Pegasus over, came to King Ping, dismounted and knelt on the ground: "King Ping Chitose!" Don't be late, atone for your sins in person! ”
King Zhou Ping helped him with his hand, "General!" Please get up, general? ”
"Your surname is Zou, Shan Ziyun, and he is the nephew of Zou Yingong."
"The general is really a good martial artist! Thank you for saving the driver, please accept the worship of this king" said, King Zhou Ping was about to bow to Zou Yun.
"Oh, I can't help it! I can't help it! Zou Yun hurriedly supported King Zhou Ping. Chitose! Saving the driver is the duty that the minister should fulfill, and it is nothing. ”
…………
The two parties did not mention it politely here, and besides, King Zhou You, who was sitting in the carriage with Bao Xi in his arms, thought that he was out of danger, but in fact, the soldiers of the Dog Rong clan were chasing after him.
They stopped the carriage and got into it, each armed with his weapon.
"Ahh …… Everybody...... Heroes spare their lives! Rao ......"
"Click" where he was allowed to say more, only to see a machete cut off the head of the other person at once.
Bao Xi was tied to a horse by the Dog Rong soldiers and escorted back to the barracks, and her whereabouts are unknown.
