Chapter 159: A Chance Event That Goes Down in History
Prayers and divination were useless, the king thought, standing on the top of the palace and looking at the crowd in the square below. When the pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info was obviously divining in the western suburbs, the cracking sound of the tortoise shell and the direction of the cracks were auspicious.
And these drunken slave owners! He was too tolerant of them on weekdays. He's working hard for their benefit, but what about them? Drunk and dreaming of death, doing nothing, playing with treasures, playing with women...... Only when the king was triumphant came the spirit.
Their eyes searched among the bound slaves, looking for the strong, young and beautiful, and then came to him to bargain, counting how much they had contributed to the crusade and how they had embraced him.
The king did not lack strength, when his father Emperor Yi was alive, once everyone gathered in a hall, suddenly the pillars of the main hall broke, people were amazed, it was he who raised his hand to support the topping of the temple, so that his father could leave calmly. And it was from then on that my father turned his attention to himself.
It was not that he had not seen the decadence that permeated these slave owners all these years, like a dark cloud that hung over him from time to time, and he feared that sooner or later a heavy rain would fall from the sky and drench everyone.
He deliberately controlled the growing malaise of the slave-owning class, interrupting their chatter before him again and again for their own benefit.
He used Fei Zhong not because he had any outstanding talent. Fei Zhong has no other advantages other than being able to be careful with his calculations, but this is also rare for those slave owners.
There is no one at the bottom of Wei Ziqi, and this brother of his is probably busy gathering strength at this time, waiting for the moment when his strength is exhausted.
Sure enough, the person sent by the King of Xuan to deliver the letter to Wei Ziqi returned. As he expected, Wei Ziqi thought that what appeared in the western suburbs was only a small number of tentative teams of Zhou Bo, and it was not worth making a fuss. He said that Zhou Bo and we are both descendants of the Yellow Emperor, and they will not.
Under the premise of such an understanding, the elder brother of the king of the Xuan still focuses on the brother, perhaps he thinks that the king of the Xuan is here to probe his own reality.
Wei Ziqi's dissatisfaction and his usual grumbling words could not be concealed from the shrewd King Xu? Who can say for sure that this is not an ecstasy array carefully laid by the King of Xu? Let him send troops to the western suburbs, how can it be beneficial to use these limited forces to protect himself!
A group of guards rushed out of the palace, buckets of cold water in their hands, pouring them on the bodies of the slave owners who had been gathered and still did not know what to do.
They were so drunk from their drunken dreams that they stared at everything in front of them, not knowing what was happening. Could it be that this is an ingenious show in tonight's party?
In the western suburbs, the Shang Dynasty army, which had just entered the recuperation period, ushered in another battle, which could only be regarded as a battle. for they have pitifully few enemies in their faces. The number of these uninvited guests is simply not enough to complete a battle.
This is the elite guard under Zhou Bojifa, with only two hundred people. Uncle Zhou came out to hunt.
After receiving the report, the leader of the Great Shang army had already guessed the intention of these people. In terms of numbers, these people are simply vulnerable. But he immediately thought of the King of the Ring, who was praying for blessings not far behind him, and this was an opportunity.
Dongyi, which has just been pacified, is a thing of the past, and so is the credit.
It was necessary for him to exaggerate this fortuitous incident a little more, and then a "surprise attack" that was easily quelled was another more prominent merit than the crusade against Dongyi, and he sent a Pegasus to deliver a message to the king of Zhou.
Then, he sent his subordinates out a team of three hundred people and set up a formation. He was in no hurry to go into battle, and waited for the messenger to see the king before starting, so as to show how hard the battle was. These people in the valley in front of him gave him time to have a good time, and the result was already under control.
Again, Ji Fa is here to hunt. If it had been premeditated, he wouldn't have taken only these people.
Ji Fa is short in stature, but his long-term hunting life has given him a strong physique. This time he came to the east, he was very cautious, there could not be too many people, otherwise the king would blame him, or even just have a trace of suspicion, then he would not be able to eat and walk away.
His father, Xibo Jichang, was only released from Chaoge's dungeon a few days ago, and his father's body had been tortured in the dark dungeon. This is a warning, so he should be more cautious.
Ji Chang's Fang Kingdom was located in the rolling mountains to the west, and those ravines and ravines were really not suitable for a large army to deploy, so although the Shang king was not very at ease with them, at most he only took measures to deter and pacify, and did not meet with troops for many years.
Ji Chang also adhered to the rules of the small countries below, and regularly entered the merchant Hajj to offer tributes such as tortoise shells, cattle and sheep, and human and livestock. And that vast and undulating mountain also unknowingly accumulated enough food and population for him.
Ji Chang once said to his son Ji Fa that as long as we do not overstep, the king will not make it too difficult for us, because we are an ancestor. He often gave his son a list of their origins and those of the Shang kings, proving that what he said was true:
Their ancestors were all Yellow Emperors, and the Yellow Emperor married the daughter of Xiling. The ancestor was the concubine of the Yellow Emperor and gave birth to two sons, one was Xuanhuan and the other was Changyi.
The Yellow Emperor collapsed, and his grandson Changyi's son Gao Yang ascended the throne, and Gao Yang was the emperor.
The collapse of the Xuanhuan, and the grandson of Xuanhuan, Gao Xin, ascended the throne for the emperor.
Emperor Yu collapsed, his second son Fang Xun ascended the throne, and Fang Xun was Yao.
Dayu of the Xia Dynasty is a descendant of Changyi: his father Kun, Kun's father is 颛顼, and the father of 颛顼 is called Changyi.
The founder of the Shang Dynasty was named Qi, a descendant of Xuanhuan: his mother, Jian Di, was the second concubine of the emperor. The descendants of the deed are Zhaoming, Xiangtu, Changruo, Cao Yuan, Ming, Zhen, Wei, Bao Ding, Bao B, Bao C, Zhu Ren, Zhu Gui, and Tianyi, and Tianyi is the soup that replaced the Xia Dynasty.
The founder of Zhou is Hou Ji, whose name is abandoned, and abandonment is also a descendant of Xuanhuan: Abandoned's mother, Jiang Yuan, is the emperor's concubine. Houji is followed by Bu Ji, Ju, Gong Liu, Qing Jie, Imperial Servant, Chafu, Rui, Gong Fei, Gao Yu, Ya Yu, Gong Shu Zu, Gu Gong, Ji Li, Zichang, and Liu Chang is Ji Fa's father Ji Chang.
In this way, Ji Fa believes that the relationship between Shang and Zhou is closer than that between Shang and Xia. Xia came from Yu Changyi, while Shang and Zhou both came from Yu Xuanhuan. The ancestors of Shang and Zhou were both emperors. It's just that Zhou is from Emperor Yu's concubine, and Shang is from Emperor Yu's second concubine.
Is there any reason for such a brotherly country to use swords and guns? Besides, he also knows the bravery of the king.
However, he found that the oncoming Shang army did not seem to have a very friendly attitude, and they put on a posture to meet the enemy. Ji Fa said, "Let's retreat!" Get out of this place. ”
However, all fortuitous events are inseparable from but. The person on the other side wants to play a good game of deceiving the Shang King and get a credit from the sky, how can he easily let them go? Letting them go, how is the game going to continue?
This place is called Makino. Grazing fields, everything is clear at a glance.
