first listened to part of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and then listened to three chapters of the vernacular version of "Romance of the Gods", and the sky had already darkened.

When leaving the palace, Ren Baqian hesitated whether to tell the empress about the salt well, but he was half sure of the matter of the salt well, if he did it badly, he was afraid that it would affect his value in the empress's heart, and finally decided to wait for his position to be higher, and then use this method to exchange credit.

If you do it yourself after the sweet potatoes are ripe, even if you fail, the impact will not be great.

Ren Baqian went back to the beast garden, found some mutton to eat, and then went back to sleep.

The next morning, I woke up early the next morning and walked around the zoo with my camera, taking pictures of all the places I thought were beautiful.

And he didn't dare to shoot those animals in the beast garden, after all, many of them are different from the earth, and if he shoots them back and posts them on the Internet, it is too easy to have problems, and he may expose himself at some point.

If you want to show off, you have to hide it, which is Ren Baqian's current situation.

Thinking of the empress's words last night, Ren Baqian suddenly became a little interested in what happened before the founding of Da Yao, so he went to ask about the vine gourd and the iron knife.

The two of them were resting in the shade in several large wooden basins, which were full of soaked animal skins.

After listening to Ren Baqian's inquiry, the two of them told some of the things they knew.

Most of the people in Dayao were originally mountain people, which was something that Ren Baqian knew.

Seventy years ago, the Dayao people that Ren Baqian saw now were actually Gu people, but they have always been called barbarians by the outside world, mainly scattered in the 60,000 mountains in the west and south of Dayao in the village, and make a living by hunting.

It was a continuous mountain range, vast and boundless, encompassing the west and most of the south of what is now the Great Yao Kingdom, and among them were countless beasts of fierce beasts, as well as many ancient tribe villages.

In this plain, there was originally a country called Haoguo, when the Haoguo was founded for more than 300 years, and the atmosphere was extravagant, and the lord of the Haoguo was like a merchant who was as unscrupulous and rejoicing.

The women of the ancient tribe are generally healthy and outstanding, which is completely different from the weak women of the Hao country, and has a unique flavor.

The emperor of the Hao Kingdom did not know who he had listened to, so he ordered the Gu clan to offer a hundred women, otherwise he would send troops to attack.

And the people of the ancient tribe are not under the jurisdiction of the Hao Kingdom, and their temper is hot, so they naturally ignore this, and directly beat the person who conveyed the will and threw him down the mountain.

When the emperor was rewarded, he was furious and immediately sent an army of 50,000 to attack. and ordered that the cottage be slaughtered, leaving the young woman to return to the country for her enjoyment.

The ancient tribe is based on the stockade, and there is not much defense, even if five stockades are broken, the people in the village are killed, and the women are plundered. And the army of Haoguo continued to march into the mountains and forests.

At this time, the ancient clan reacted, and the anger seemed to spread in the mountains, and the young people of the ancient clan who heard the news gathered together, but the time was too short, and the number of people who could gather was not too many, so they relied on the characteristics of the mountains and forests to intercept them layer by layer.

After breaking through the third-layer interception, the Haoguo army was stopped by the fourth-layer interception, and it was difficult to advance an inch.

Both sides can be said to have lost a lot.

Although the barbarians were strong individually, in the face of an army of 50,000, they were defensive and intercepted, and they lost thousands of people.

The army of the Hao State was not adapted to fighting in the mountains and forests, and the losses were even greater, and nearly 10,000 bones were buried in that mountain forest.

At this time, the person who had previously told the Emperor of the Hao Kingdom that he had asked for a woman to be recruited once again gave advice to the Emperor of the Hao Kingdom.

Why did the ancient people dare not listen to the orders of the emperor of the Hao Kingdom? It was because the barbarians made a living by hunting, wearing animal skins, and picking wild fruits, and had nothing to ask for from the outside world, and they could live freely in the mountains and forests.

If you want the barbarians to submit, you have to make them unable to survive in the mountains and forests, and they have to listen to the Hao country.

I don't know how many barbarians there are in that mountain range, but there is one thing that everyone must have, and that is salt. There is a stone salt in the mountains, from which almost all the salt used by the ancient tribes was obtained.

As long as they poison that piece of stone salt, those ancient people who want salt must listen to the emperor of the Hao Kingdom, and they can be regarded as soldiers who surrender without a fight.

When the Emperor of Haoguo heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and immediately followed this method.

At the same time, there is another thought in my heart, although the Hao Kingdom is strong in the face of the Gu Clan, it is still weaker than the Yun Kingdom and the Chen Kingdom in the east. If you can let those young people of the ancient clan join the army, they will definitely have an extraordinary effect when they are used to attack the city.

The final consequence was that the ancient people suffered heavy losses after poisoning the salt.

Among them, the village where Yapeng, the first emperor of the Great Yao Kingdom, was located, and half of them were killed and wounded. After his grief, he directly contacted the other stockades to raise troops to resist, bypassing the tens of thousands of troops in the woods and directly attacking a city near the mountains.

Now both sides can be said to have a deep feud in the sea of blood.

At this time, a person came to Yapeng, saying that his family was ruined by the emperor of Haoguo, and he wanted to take revenge.

At first, Yapeng also asked people to watch over each other and guard against each other, but later saw that the man had been sincerely giving advice, and under his plan, he destroyed the 40,000 army, so he began to trust him.

At this time, the anger of the ancient clan had subsided a little, and there was no existential crisis after the 40,000 army was wiped out. However, the stone salt is full of poison, and the stone salt can only be obtained by plundering the city, so the various stockades must also unite and loot everywhere.

I have to say that this is what the monarch of the Hao Kingdom did himself.

And the losses of the ancient clan began to grow.

At this time, the man gave advice to Yapeng again, saying that it was not a way to go on like this, and that he could not always rely on grabbing to obtain salt, so it was better to occupy a few cities first, and only after holding on to it would he have the capital to negotiate, and after standing still, he would get salt from Yunguo Chen Guo.

When Yapeng heard it, it was indeed the case.

Then he contacted some villages deeper in the mountains, and with that person as his military advisor, he went down the mountain to attack the city and pull out the village, and captured four cities in a row.

Because the 50,000 troops in the southwest of the Hao Kingdom have been completely wiped out, other armies still have to defend the east and north, and at the same time, due to the absurdity of the Emperor of the Hao Kingdom, there was a local rebellion, and troops had to be sent to suppress it, and the domestic troops were insufficient.

And the emperor of Haoguo originally thought that the barbarians were just grabbing something, and the key was to quell the rebels, so he ignored these barbarians for a while, resulting in these cities being captured without much effort.

At this time, the military advisor said again, the life of the ancient clan is now in the hands of others, no matter who is the emperor, if they don't exchange salt for the barbarians, in the end they can only rebel again, and this will never end.

And now is a good time, the upper echelons of the Hao country are decaying, the army's combat power is not high, and the country is in turmoil, it is better to directly capture the palace, behead the culprit under the knife, and establish a country, and the descendants of the barbarians can live and work here in peace and contentment in the future.

At that time, because under this man's plan, whether it was to destroy the 40,000-strong army or capture the city, the barbarian damage was not great, and everyone trusted him, so he was moved.

The people of the ancient clan, who had never had this idea before, were moved after hearing this idea. The prosperity they see in various cities these days makes them envious.

This person has made suggestions again, and the current strength is also a little insufficient, and he has to contact the ancient tribes deeper in the mountain range to send troops.

At the same time, attacking now will definitely make Haoguo focus on them.

It is better to occupy these cities first, make a gesture of not attacking again, and contact the merchants of Yun and Chen to exchange the materials in these cities for salt. In this way, the emperor of the Hao State will definitely relax his vigilance and go to eliminate the rebels in the country first.

After hearing this, Yapeng thought it was a good idea. Although the barbarians in the depths of the 60,000 mountains had other ways to obtain salt, and they were not so easy to be moved, he still sent a few people to convince them.

In fact, as he said, the Emperor of Haoguo didn't expect this group of ancient people to dare to fight his idea, and all his energy was focused on suppressing the rebellion.

The next eight months passed. For half a year, the Gu people had been in these cities and did not attack again, which also made the Emperor of Haoguo feel relieved. As the war intensified in his colleague's country, he mobilized all the troops he could to suppress the rebellion.

Only a small number of troops defended the northern and eastern regions.

At this time, a large number of ancient warriors walked out of the deep mountains, converged with Yapeng and others, and marched towards the imperial city. These ancient warriors from the depths of the mountain range are also more powerful due to the harsher living environment and the infestation of various fierce beasts.

During the siege of the city, wading in the water, the two most difficult to fight were the two most difficult to open the city gate directly in the middle of the night, and it turned out that the military division had already arranged people inside when everyone didn't know.

It took ten days for the barbarian army to fight all the way to the imperial city, and finally executed the emperor of Haoguo in public.

Yapeng and the Gu clan were originally just to take revenge and vent their anger and loot daily necessities, but as a result, under the step-by-step guidance and promotion of this military advisor, they destroyed the Hao Kingdom.

And the Emperor of the Hao Kingdom was extremely shocked when he saw that military division. When he knew that he was the military advisor of the ancient clan, he was even more like crazy and shouted everything.

At this time, everyone knew that the person who had instigated the emperor to ask for 100 women from the ancient clan and poisoned the stone salt was actually this military advisor.

And the military advisor did not stop or defend at all, and let the emperor tell everything.

After the Emperor of Hao Guo finished speaking, he said another news that shocked everyone, there were several rebellions in Hao Guo that he had arranged, and other rebels were also in contact with him.

The purpose is to bring about the destruction of the kingdom.

He had been planning all this for fifteen years. With the addition of these two years of campaign planning, a total of seventeen years.

At this time, it can be said that everyone was tricked by him, whether it was the Emperor of Haoguo, the Gu clan, or even those rebels.

Those rebels have always thought that these ancient tribes are for revenge, on the one hand, this is what the military advisor has always emphasized when he contacted them, and on the other hand, they did not expect that the ancient tribe would capture the imperial city, let alone that they would establish a country here. Because this is something that has never happened before, if it weren't for this blood feud, the Gu clan would not usually get out of that mountain range.
