The Mingyu of Prehistoric Times

( )

When Ziya and King Wu were planning how to attack the city, they were seen by the sentry at the top of Mianchi City. They immediately reported to Zhang Kui: "Sir, Jiang Ziya and a man in red robe are exploring the city under the city head."

As soon as Zhang Kui heard the report, he immediately went to the top of the city to have a look. Sure enough, King Wu and Ziya were under the city. He also pointed out what was being planned around the city.

Zhang Kui thought to himself: "Jiang Ziya is really bullying me. I stayed at the top of the city for so many days and didn't open fire with him. Then he bullied me and came under my city, gesticulating and unscrupulously. He actually dared to Underestimating that I am not a hero”

Then he went down to the city and said to his wife: "You can guard the city wall well in the city, and let me go out to the city to kill. This can get rid of the big trouble." The young lady went up to the city wall to watch the battle. Zhang Kui mounted his war horse and carried a Da Dao opened the city gate and rushed towards Ziya and King Wu alone, shouting: "Ji Fa, Jiang Shang, your lives are in danger today." "

Exactly: The plan is to catch the Jade Rabbit in the middle of the month, and the Golden Crow in the day.

Ziya and King Wu turned their horses and ran westward. Zhang Kui gave chase, but no soldiers in the camp came out to respond, so Zhang Kui rushed forward with confidence. After chasing for about twenty miles, they heard the loud sound of golden drums and cannons, and the shouts of the three armies, shaking the heaven and earth. The generals of all sizes in the Zhou camp came out of the camp and rushed straight to the city.

Gao Lanying was fully armed on the top of the city, guarding the city. Suddenly he heard the sound of cannons in the Zhou camp again, and he didn't know what happened. Suddenly, a Nezha fell from the top of the city, with three heads and eight arms, stepping on hot wheels, swinging a fire-tipped gun and running towards him.

Gao Lanying hurriedly mounted her horse and raised her swords to hold Nezha back. It was difficult for the two to fight on the top of the city wall, so Gao Lanying rode down the city wall, followed by Nezha. At this time, Lei Zhenzi had already spread his wings, flew up to the top of the city, threw off his golden stick, and beat the soldiers on the top of the city to death. Then he immediately cut off the lock on the city gate and opened it. At the city gate, Zhou Bingfeng poured into Yanchi City.

Gao Lanying was fighting against Nezha at the foot of the city. Seeing that the situation was not good, she was about to take out the gourd and shoot out the sun needle, but it was too late. Nezha's Qiankun Circle hit her on the top of her head. Gao Lanying fell from her horse to the ground, and was hit by Nezha again. Zha stabbed him with a spear and lost his life in vain, so he went to the Conferred God Platform.

Speaking of Nezha, Lei Zhenzi entered Mianchi City. When the soldiers saw that their mistress had been beaten to death, they all fell on the ground and surrendered. Nezha said: "I won't kill you today, just wait for the marshal to settle the people."

Nezha said to Lei Zhenzi again: "Brother Taoist, please stay at the top of the city while I go to meet Uncle Master and King Wu. I'm afraid not to scare the lord."

Lei Zhenzi said: "Brother Dao, don't waste any more time, just hurry up and go." So Nezha kicked off the hot wheel and hurried towards the west. Besides, Zhang Kui was chasing Ziya alone. When he was nearly twenty miles away, he heard the sound of cannons and loud shouts in Zhou's camp. He felt a little doubtful in his heart, so he stopped chasing Ziya.

Ziya shouted loudly from behind: "Zhang Kui, your Mianchi has been conquered by us, why don't you come over and surrender?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Kui panicked and realized that he had been caught in a trap, so he immediately turned his horse back. Rush back.

At this time, it was getting very late, and he happened to meet Nezha who came to greet Ziya, coming towards him with three heads and eight arms. As soon as Nezha saw Zhang Kui, he cursed: "Traitor, if you don't get off your horse and accept the death penalty today, how long do you want to wait?"

When Zhang Kui heard this, he was furious and rushed towards Nezha with the sword in his hand. Nezha hurriedly raised his gun to fight Zhang Kui. After fighting for several rounds, Nezha used the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover to cover Zhang Kui.

When Zhang Kui saw it, he understood how powerful the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield was, so he quickly twisted his body and went underground. When Nezha saw Zhang Kui hiding away, he couldn't help feeling sad because he thought of Tu Xingsun's death by him, and continued on his way to meet King Wu.

Zhang Kui hurried back to the city and saw Lei Zhenzi standing at the top of the city. He knew that the city had been breached. Remembering that his wife did not know whether she was alive or dead, he said to himself: "Why don't I rush to Chaoge now so that I can join forces with Yuan Hong?" Compete with them again.”

Besides, Nezha greeted King Wu and Ziya in front of him and returned to Hunchi together. He ordered the soldiers to enter the city and garrison them. He also collected the heads of the generals of the Zhou army who died in the battle above the city and buried them in a small hill. and set up an altar to commemorate them.

Besides, Zhang Kui was fully armed and used his great skills in rushing along the road. He galloped straight towards the Yellow River Road, as fast as the wind. Yang Ren saw Zhang Kui running from a distance, and said to Wei Hu: "Brother Taoist, Zhang Kui is coming soon. You must be careful and don't let him escape. Just watch." Wherever I point my finger, you can hit him with the Demon-Conquering Tree in that direction."

Wei Hu said: "I will definitely do it." Besides, Zhang Kui was on his way forward when he saw Yang Ren riding the Yunxia Beast from a distance, with two eyes in his hands shining brightly, looking down at him. Yang Ren shouted: "Zhang Kui, don't run away. You are destined to die today."

When Zhang Kui heard this, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to pause at all. He accelerated his ground technique, and with a "swipe" sound, he walked out dozens of miles away in a short time.

Yang Ren chased the Yunxia Beast on the ground, biting tightly to catch up. Wei Hu looked at Yang Ren from the sky, and Yang Ren looked at Zhang Kui from the ground, looking from three places.

It is said that Zhang Kui saw Yang Ren above him on the ground, following him closely. Zhang Kui turned to the left, and Yang Ren also chased to the left. Zhang Kui turned to the right, and Yang Ren also chased to the right. Zhang Kui couldn't get rid of him at first glance. Leaving Yang Ren behind, he had no choice but to gallop forward and saw that he was almost reaching the bank of the Yellow River. In front of him, Tailor Yang was holding a card and waiting for Yang Ren's arrival on the bank of the Yellow River.

He saw Yang Ren chasing Zhang Kui from a distance. Yang Ren also saw Yang Jian and shouted loudly: "Brother Yang Dao, Zhang Kui is here." When Yang Jian heard this, he hurriedly used the Samadhi fire to turn the talisman that Zhenliu Sun pointed to the ground into steel. The seal was lit and I stood on the bank of the Yellow River.

Zhang Kui was hurrying forward. When he arrived at the bank of the Yellow River, he felt that he was surrounded by iron barrels. He couldn't hit him from all directions and couldn't move a step. He went forward, backward, left and right, like an iron wall. When Zhang Kui was in a panic, Yang Ren pointed down with his hand, and Wei Hu in mid-air knocked down the magic tree.

This demon-conquering tree is a treasure that suppresses evil spirits and protects the three religions. How can Zhang Kui withstand it? Besides, after Wei Hu used the Demon-Subduing Powder, he beat Zhang Kui into a piece of powder, and another soul went to the Conferred God Platform.

After the three disciples of Yang Jian, Yang Ren and Wei Hu succeeded in executing Zhang Kui, they came back together to see Ziya. They described in detail how they chased Zhang Kui to the bank of the Yellow River and how they restrained and executed him. Ziya was overjoyed. After staying in Mianchi City for a few days, he picked a good day and began to mobilize his troops again. That day, after reorganizing the troops, they left Miancheng and advanced toward the Yellow River.

At that time, it was almost the middle of winter, and the generals and soldiers were all wearing thick iron jackets and layers of military uniforms. The cold air was very oppressive. How cold is it?

Ziya's group of men and horses kept walking forward, and his subordinates reported to the army that they had arrived at the bank of the Yellow River. Ziya told his subordinates: "Borrow a boat from the people to cross the Yellow River." He paid five cents for each boat, so that no ordinary people's boat would be used in vain. All the people were very willing to help transport the troops, and no one was unhappy. They were extremely grateful to Ziya and others. They can really be said to be the "Master of Shigure".

Ziya passed down the order to prepare a separate dragon boat for King Wu to ride across the Yellow River. Ziya and King Wu were sitting in the middle cabin, and the men on the left and right took up the oars and sailed towards the river. In the Yellow River, white waves rolled into the sky, the wind blew loudly, and the waves carried the dragon boat carrying King Wu and Ziya.

King Wu said, "Mother, why is this boat bumping and swaying like this?" Ziya said, "Originally, the water in the Yellow River is very fast, and it is also quite turbulent when there are small winds and waves. What's more, it's windy today, and it's very turbulent." It’s a dragon boat, so it’s bumpy like this.”

King Wu was a little worried and said to Ziya: "Let me open the cabin door to take a look at the waves of the Yellow River, okay?" Ya and King Wu opened the cabin door and went back out.

Oh, what a big wave. How can you see this? This poem says: The ocean's light invades the moon, and its vast shadows float in the sky. The Ling sect swallowed Huayue and flowed through hundreds of rivers. Thousands of layers of ferocious waves are rolling, and tens of thousands of steep waves are cresting. There are no fishing fires at the port, but there are bamboo shoots sleeping on the sand head. The confusion is like the sea, and the sight is even more boundless.

King Wu looked out from the cabin door and saw the turbulent waves of the Yellow River. He couldn't see the two banks of the Yellow River at a glance, only the rolling waves. He couldn't help but be frightened by this scene and his face turned pale. The dragon boat rises and falls in the waves, rising and falling, swaying unsteadily.

Suddenly they encountered a large whirlpool, and the water in the center parted to both sides. With a loud sound, a white fish jumped into the cabin, which shocked King Wu again. The white fish was jumping and rolling in the cabin, jumping up to four or five feet high, and it was so alive.

King Wu quickly asked Ziya: "Is this white fish jumping into our cabin a good thing or a bad thing?" When Ziya saw that the fish was a white carp, he couldn't help but said to King Wu with great joy: "Congratulations, king. Congratulations!" , this fish jumped into the king's boat, which means that it is destined that King Zhou should be destroyed, and the Zhou Dynasty should be prosperous, which is in line with the king's succession to Shang Tang and the rule of the world. "

Then Ziya passed down the order: "Let the chef make this white fish into a dish, and let me and the king enjoy this delicious food together." King Wu said, "We can't eat it."

Instead, he ordered his men to put the fish back into the Yellow River. Ziya said: "Since this fish has been on your boat, how can you release it back into the river? This is the saying of 'if you don't take the gift from heaven, you will suffer the consequences'. Of course, you should eat this fish." Don’t give up easily.”

The people below passed on Ziya's order and hurriedly asked the chef to cook the fish. After a while, the prepared fish was presented, and Ziya ordered the fish to be given to the generals to share. After a while, the wind calmed down and the waves became calm, and the dragon boat crossed the Yellow River safely.

The princes from all walks of life had already heard that Zhou soldiers were coming, and they were all ready to welcome King Wu. Ziya knew very well in his heart that King Wu was a kind and virtuous monarch who would never bully others, so he was worried that the princes would honor him as king, which would cause the matter to fall by the wayside. In that case, King Wu was soft-hearted and did not want to ruin the Tang Dynasty and the creation of the Zhou Dynasty. The great cause of national development will not be successful.

Therefore, it is necessary to give orders to the princes in advance, and then let King Wu meet with the princes, without revealing who is the master and who is the servant; only after defeating King Feng, can we deal with it later.

Ya said to King Wu: "Although the boat has arrived at the shore, please still rest in the boat. Let me go ashore first, lay out the weapons, and strictly control the military power, so that I can show the prowess of the Zhou army in front of the princes. And after setting up the camp, I finally asked the king to disembark and meet with the officers and soldiers."

King Wu heard this and thought it made sense. He nodded and said, "Everything is at your discretion." Yaxian went ashore and led a large number of people to Mengjin, where he set up camp and set up a stronghold.

All the princes came to the military camp to see Ziya. Ziya brought all the princes into the camp, bowed to each other, and talked to each other. Ziya said: "Fellow princes and soldiers, after seeing King Wu, there is no need to talk about the king's crusade against the king and to appease the people. We are just here to discuss and investigate together." As for the current political affairs of the Shang Dynasty, we will discuss other matters after the final defeat of King Zhou Feng."

All the princes were very happy and said they would do as Ziya said. Then Ziya ordered the military and political officials, Nachi and Yang Jian to go to the boat to invite King Wu to disembark and welcome him to the camp. After Zhou soldiers crossed the Yellow River, another two hundred princes from the west followed and crossed the Yellow River. They rode horses and chariots with King Wu to the camp.

Looking at this scene, it is really a gathering of all the princes in the world, and the momentum is extraordinary. How can you see it? One poem wrote: Eight hundred princes gathered in Mengjin, and the world was full of murderous intent. The national flag flies toward the sun with dragons and phoenixes, the swords and halberds welcome the frost and weep for ghosts and gods, the soldiers sing songs to transform the sun, and the army and the people celebrate the benevolent people. You should know that the fortune of the world is prosperous, and the world is always singing spring.

King Wu and two hundred princes from the west came to Mengjin's camp together. The scouts rode to the camp to report the news of King Wu's arrival. Ya led four hundred princes from the north and south, and hundreds of smaller princes came out to welcome him. The arrival of King Wu.

King Wu came directly to the central military camp, and then the princes came. These princes are: Zhong Zhiming, the Marquis of Yang in the southeast, Eshun, the Marquis of Nanbo, Yao Chuliang, the Marquis of Yuzhou in the southwest, Chongying Yuan, the Marquis of the North, Peng Zushou, the Marquis of Chongzhou in the northeast, Yi Menbo Wu Gaowang, Zong Zhiming on the left, Yao Shuliang on the right, Chang Xinren on the far side, Cao Zong on the near side, and Yu Jianji on the outskirts of the country. They are all the most famous princes in the world. They have strong soldiers and horses, and are the leaders of the princes in the world.

After all the princes entered the camp one after another, only Dongbohou Jiang Wenhuan had not yet entered the Wandering Soul Pass. So the princes asked King Wu to open a tent to receive everyone, but King Wu was unwilling, so the two sides persuaded each other to shirk the situation for a long time. Then King Wu and all the princes bowed to each other and saluted.

All the princes fell down and said: "Today the king has come to Mengjin specially, so that we princes can have a look at the king's emperor's face. We all respect your character and majesty. You have saved the poor and the people from the dire straits and the fire, and made the world happy for the people." "Great luck"

After hearing this, King Wu declined very humbly and said: "I inherit the position of the late king today. I am ignorant and lacking in virtue and talent. I am worried that I will let down the martyrs who dedicated their lives to the country. I am also grateful to you all the princes to pass on the invitation and specially invite Ziya." Go to the east to meet with the wise princes and discuss the political affairs of the Shang Dynasty. If I am to lead the wise princes, I will never take it. I only hope that you can give me some advice. "

Yao Chuliang, the Marquis of Yuzhou among the princes, replied: "King Zhou has no reason to govern the country. He killed his wife, his children, many people who served the country and killed many ministers of the dynasty. He is just ignorant. The earth indulged in drunkenness, did not know how to respect God, did not sacrifice to the ancestors, abandoned the people of Li, and colluded with evil people, so that the emperor became furious and caused the destruction of the Shang Dynasty, following the king's orders. Punishing sinners, appeasing the common people, and saving the people from dire straits are actions that comply with God's will and are in line with the people's hearts. It vents the anger of the people on earth and the God of heaven, so no one in the world is unhappy. If we and the king just sit back and ignore these things, King Zhou's crimes will be more serious. I hope the king will consider our words more. "

King Wu said: "King Zhou's failure to follow the right path is all because of the deception and deception of his subordinates. Now we only need to inspect and correct the politics of the Shang Dynasty and arrest King Zhou's favorite concubines to make King Zhou change his political shortcomings. Then the world will naturally be at peace."

Peng Zushou said: "The destiny of heaven is not permanent, and only those with high moral character can sit firmly in the world. In the past, King Yao conquered the world because his descendants had no future, so he could only pass the throne to Shun. After Shun conquered the world, Because his descendants had no future, he gave up the throne to Yu. However, the descendants of Lord Yu were very capable and could inherit their father's great achievements. In this way, they continued to inherit the throne of glory. However, due to King Jie's bad character, he was not the king of Xia at that time. At that time, he was cruel to the people, which made the people of the world complain against him. Therefore, Shang Tang received God's will to punish him and exiled King Jie to Nanchao. After that, he defeated the Xia Dynasty and conquered the world. Until King Zhou, he was full of evil, his crimes were overwhelming, he destroyed the good government, he was cruel and unjust, but he tolerated the sinners and fostered adultery, which made the emperor furious, brought disaster to the Shang Dynasty, and ordered you, the king, to attack Yin Shang, I hope your Majesty will not blindly refuse the honor you deserve and make us princes discouraged."

In this way, King Wu's humility failed. Ziya said, "Dear sage princes, today is not the last time to discuss these important matters. Let's discuss them carefully when we arrive at the Shangdu." All the princes unanimously said, "What Xiangfu said makes sense." King Wu then ordered a grand meeting in the camp. Set up a banquet to entertain all the princes.
