Chapter 735: Lao Tzu opens the altar

Two years after Yi Heng's retreat, in 1056 B.C., Xiqi Jichang proclaimed himself king of the interior, that is, King Wen of Zhou.

Although he was the king, he was still cautious about the Shang Dynasty, paying tribute diligently, and even worshipping the first king of the Shang Dynasty in his ancestral hall, so as to paralyze the ears and eyes of the Shang Dynasty Emperor Xin.

And Ji Chang got Yi Heng's guidance in Jinli and wrote "Zhou Yi", so he naturally knows how to change with the times and knows how to grasp the best time to send troops.

A year later, in the name of sharing the worries of the Shang Dynasty, Ji Chang sent troops to fight against the dogs.

In the following year, he crusaded against the secret beard who invaded the neighboring countries, which made the king of Shang greatly appreciated, and thought that Xiqi was really solving the problems of the Shang Dynasty, but instead of being prepared, he gave the king wine to reward Ji Chang for his merits.

And these two battles were won, and Xiqi finally relieved the worries of the loggers.

In 1053 B.C., Ji Chang sent troops east to attack Li (southwest of Changzhi City, Shanxi Province), the following year, he attacked Qi (present-day Qinyang City), and in the next year, he captured Chongguo, a favored minister of the Shang king, Chonghou Hu.

After the victory of these three wars, Xiqi severed the Shang Dynasty's ties with its western vassals.

In the same year, Ji Chang moved his capital to Yufeng (in the southwest corner of present-day Xi'an, Shaanxi Province), making the capital less vulnerable to Rong Di and more conducive to marching eastward.

So far, the strategic deployment of Xiqi Varsman has been basically completed.

In 1050 B.C., King Wen of Zhou Ji Chang died of illness, and his son Ji Fa succeeded to the throne, that is, King Wu of Zhou, after King Wu succeeded to the throne, in order to show that he still adhered to the mandate of King Wen and continued to take advantage of the Shang Dynasty's temporary lack of time to expand eastward.

At this time, the king of Shang was not aware that the tiger Xiqi was lying on his side.

He seemed to have forgotten the blow he had received when he saw Yi Heng and other immortal cultivators in Chaoge, and he was in high spirits again.

Under the constant instigation of Su Daji, he continued to carry forward his warlike talent and his arrogant and complacent personality.

Exhausted the army, the expedition to Dongyi, although the successive victories, countless prisoners, but the cause of the Song of the empty and no soldiers to defend.

In January 1046 BC, King Ji Fa of Zhou Wu personally led 300 chariots, 3,000 tigers, and tens of thousands of infantry to the east.

On February 21 of the same year, the Zhou army arrived in Mengjin and joined the Yong, Lu, Peng, Pu, Shu and other tribes, with a total of 45,000 allied troops, and many monarchs of Fang came in person.

On February 26, it rained before the coalition army was deployed, and history said that the coalition army had a total of "six divisions", 300 chariots, and 3,000 tigers as an "armored division", which was the first echelon.

The remaining 40,000 people were divided into five "divisions" and formed a phalanx in the rear, which was the second echelon.

Later, the coalition forces continued to march eastward in the rain and crossed the river (the Yellow River, which is said to be crossed by Mengjin) from Bidi (now Bishui Town, Xingyang City), and then traveled north to Baiquan (northwest of present-day Hui County) and turned east.

On the 27th, the pasture land swore an oath, and on the 28th, it attacked Makino, and it was recorded that "Muye Yangyang, Tanche Huanghuang, and Peng Peng." Master Wei, Shi Weiyingyang. King Liang Biwu, wanton the big merchants, will be Qingming. ”

Emperor Xin, the king of Shang, did not expect Xiqi to rebel, so he was naturally caught off guard, and in a hurry, he had to personally lead his troops and hurriedly respond to the battle.

However, when the soldiers and horses of the DPRK and China are conquering Dongyi, where are the elite soldiers and strong generals? The only thing that can be used is the Praetorian Guard to defend the city.

Although the Praetorian Guard is strong, the number is only three or four thousand, how can it withstand ten times the Xiqi army?

In desperation, Di Xin had no choice but to reorganize the captured 700,000 Dongyi slaves into a slave army and place them in front of the battlefield, with the Praetorian Guards pressing in the rear, hoping to block Xiqi.

However, under the onslaught of the fierce Xiqi elite soldiers, where did the slave army still have the heart to resist? The forward was a hundred deaths, but the backward was nine deaths, so they turned around and fled, but instead scattered the small number of Praetorian Guards behind them.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Di Xin turned around and fled, but Chaoge had no soldiers, and he was like a sick lion without claws, where could he escape?

When he saw that the general trend had gone, and the ministers of the court and the central government fled and fled, and the opposite, he couldn't help but wail to the sky, and he was very sad.

But to his great gratitude, at the last moment, there was still one person who was by his side and watched the army below approach.

Dressed in gorgeous costumes, wearing gold beads and jasper, a slender waist, full chest, snuggled tightly by his side, a pair of mournful beautiful eyes never left his face for a moment.

He was relieved, where could he care about what was hidden in his complaining eyes, and opened his arms to hug her into his arms, very loving.

The right hand knocked over the oil lamp on the right side, and the raging fire instantly ignited, drowning the two figures in the flames.

At this point, the Shang Dynasty officially ended.

The Battle of Makino ended the Shang Dynasty's more than 600-year-long history.

Since King Wu of Zhou won the world, he set the capital of Haojing, respected his father's will, and sealed the world.

The members of the royal family and the meritorious ministers were all made princes of the world, and each of them received a territory.

Among them, there are fifty-three princes surnamed Ji of the royal family, and there are as many as eighteen princes with different surnames, and Yan, Qi, Qin, Chu, Jin, Zhao and so on are all among them.

This kind of feudal system created a new measure for the emperor to rule the world, many princes guarded outside, and the central dynasty lived in peace, and at the beginning when the royal family was still strong, it was naturally extremely stable.

But after a hundred years, or even hundreds of years, this relationship will gradually weaken and fade, and the power of the princes will eventually threaten the central dynasty.

It's just that Ji Fa didn't know at this time that he was like Ji Chang, taking morality first, putting the people first, focusing on etiquette and music, governing the world by virtue, and governing the country.

Under his leadership, the Zhou Dynasty developed rapidly, and in a short period of time, it expanded its territory more than doubled.

...... 18

In the thirty-six heavens, Yi Heng's figure trembled slightly, and his eyes slowly opened.

When I saw the scene in front of me, I was confused at first as if I didn't know where I was, then gradually cleared up, and then became extremely surprised.

I don't know how many years have passed, but he finally devoured and digested the first spirit in his soul completely, causing it to disappear from his body without a trace.

Although a geist is nothing to a million, as long as you find a way, as long as you have enough time, one day, you will get rid of them all.

His body shook slightly, as if he had removed the dregs of the geist, and when he had calmed down, he closed his eyes again and immersed himself.

......

Flowers bloom and fall, clouds roll up, in the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed, the Zhou Dynasty has developed rapidly, and it is extremely prosperous.

The people live and work in peace and contentment, eat by day and sleep at night, have houses to shelter from the wind and rain, and have fields to grow food.

At this time, in the Zhou Dynasty, civilized etiquette was finally maximized, the world behaved politely, and all the people spoke with manners.

Spring goes to autumn, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and in the blink of an eye, another two hundred years have passed.

Yi Heng opened his eyes that had been sealed for a long time, as deep as the universe, and he couldn't see half of his emotions.

The black spots in the soul body in the Purple Mansion have almost disappeared, and occasionally a little black spot flashes, but they are just fish that have slipped through the net, and it will not take long before they will be devoured.

At this time, the body has shrunk by half, but it is only about eleven zhang.

It's just that the entire body has returned to its previous pure gray color, although it has become smaller, but the energy it contains seems to be much more than before.

"You, the threat of the wandering soul has been eliminated, I don't know how long it has been, now, let's see if the Heavenly Dao comprehended by Hongjun can give me unexpected surprises!"

He had not spoken for a long time, but suddenly spoke, his voice was intermittent, but it seemed to come from the depths of the universe, alarming the stars around him.

......

Prosperity must decline, long-term must be divided, time is in a hurry, and another two hundred years have passed.

At this time, the central dynasty gradually declined, and the princes of the Quartet gradually became stronger.

The blood relatives have long been weakened, the hearts of loyal ministers have long been gone, and the princes of the Quartet have begun to disobey the central dynasty.

The forces of the dogs, Dirong, and ghosts on the western grasslands have also gradually strengthened, invading the border from time to time and forcibly abducting the people.

The central dynasty was unable to conquer, so it could only order the princes to allow them to recruit troops and horses, build cars and refine weapons, and crusade against Xirong.

Among them, the fiefdom of the Qin State happened to be close to the grassland, so it got this responsibility, and in the process of conquering Xirong, it slowly became stronger.

On this day, a Taoist in Tsing Yi walked into the capital of the pickaxe.

The figure is tall and straight, but his face is indifferent, and the eyes under the thick eyebrows are dull, which seems incompatible with this tall figure.

Yi Heng walked through the streets of Hojing, although he was a little curious, it was difficult for his face to change and his eyes to shine.

At this time, he already knew that more than 500 years had passed since a retreat, and he could not feel the passage of time or the change of space in the thirty-six heavens, so he only felt as if it were yesterday.

After coming out, I found that the world had already changed, and the Shang Dynasty and the remnants of the Shang Dynasty only existed in history, without the slightest trace.

Even the Zhou Dynasty is now in decline, the princes are strong and the central government is declining, and Xirong is offended and has no power to conquer.

This Hojing is already in danger at this time, and it is in danger of being occupied by Xirong at any time.

However, even so, at this time, among the crowds on the streets of Hokyo, you can feel the prosperity and civilized etiquette of this place for more than 500 years.

Although the crowd is in a hurry, it is polite and courteous, and it must be the one who speaks, and he bows down when he stretches out his hand.

He didn't have time to think about it, so he stood out even more.

Looking up at the palace, in the palace, there lived the king of Zhou You, the princes of the beacon theater.

He knew that as long as the owner of the palace lit the beacon fire on the border for the first time, and frequently won the praise of the peerless beauties, the days of existence of this pickaxe capital were numbered.

Walking through the slightly crowded streets, there is no need to worry about colliding with the hurried bodies of pedestrians, even the common people in Hojing already know that the crisis is coming, so why doesn't the owner of the palace know?

People are constantly driving ox carts out of the city with the old and the young, and the streets are full of people.

Hundreds of years of prosperity here were about to be destroyed, and he wondered if he would stop the day when Xirong's soldiers came to the city and slashed at the civilians with long knives.

Or, at this time, go and warn the owner of the palace not to treat the border beacon fire as child's play?

But when I think about it, after my own retreat, doesn't this history also play out in the established direction?

"Hehe, yes, the law of man, the law of the earth, the law of the sky, the law of heaven, the law of nature, Hongjun's understanding of the way of heaven is unique, so, just be a bystander, wait for the origin and extinction!"

"All the guest officials, the nobles who come and go, Lao Tzu opens the altar to discuss the Tao, and respectfully invites people of insight from all over the world to participate in the ...... of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. ”
