The Mingyu of Prehistoric Times

Chapter 436: Eight hundred princes attack Chaoge (Part 1)

King Zhou said: "This makes sense. w-W-w.7-K-aNKan.c-o-m." So he posted the edict to recruit talents everywhere, and at the same time he organized his troops and prepared for a battle. Besides, outside Chaoge City, thirty miles away from the city, there was a man named Ding Mingce, who was a wise hermit. He was sitting at home doing nothing when he suddenly heard people say that Zhou soldiers were coming and surrounded Chaoge City.

Ding Ce sighed and said, "King Zhou has lost his benevolence and acted dishonestly. He killed loyal and good people, listened to the words of his ministers, and harmed the people to the point of making people and gods angry. The wise men retired and the court was full of traitors. Now the princes of the world are gathering together to sing at court. , Seeing that the country is about to be destroyed. No one comes out to help the emperor, just waiting to die. The usual saying that to enjoy the king's wealth is to share the sorrows with the king is gone. I remember that I, Ding Ce, visited me in the past. The wise men and women taught me some art of war, and I was familiar with the tactics of attack and defense. I wanted to use my talents and ambitions to repay the kindness of my parents, but I also knew that the destiny was no longer in existence, and all the people were gone. If the building is about to collapse, how can a piece of wood be enough to hold it up? What kind of meritorious deeds have been accomplished when Shang Tang hired Yi Sun in the grass and banished Xia Ban to Nanchao? Over the past six hundred years, sixty-seven out of ten of them were sages and virtuous monarchs, but today King Zhou is about to die. This makes people sigh and shed tears when they see how difficult the world has changed."

So Ding Ce wrote a poem to express his regret: "Yi Yin Cheng Tang has excellent virtues and industry, and Nanchao releases the crown princes. Who would have thought that when Xin Feng met in the third nine, all Huayi and Hua Yi would belong to the Zhou Dynasty."

After Ding Ce finished composing the poem, he saw a man coming in outside the gate. At first glance, it turned out to be his sworn brother Guo Yuan. When the two met, they bowed to each other and then sat down. Ding Ce asked, "Brother Zi, there must be something important when you come here."

Guo Yuan said: "Brother, I have something to discuss with my brother." Ding Ce said. "If you have anything to do, please tell me, brother." Guo Yuan said: "Now all the princes in the world have gathered outside the capital and surrounded it. The emperor has issued a summons list. I came here specially to invite my brother to come out and join us. Assist the king. I wish my brother Qie has the ability to help the world and save the people, and he also knows the methods of war and defense. Once he goes out to work for the court, he can serve the king, make his ancestors proud, and make his name famous for himself. knowledge."

Ding Ce listened and smiled and said: "Although what I said makes sense, King Zhou's political discipline is corrupt and unruly. The people of the world are disloyal and the princes are rebelling. It is no longer a matter of a day or two. This is just like a big carbuncle." It has festered, and life is over. Even if someone with the ability comes out, how knowledgeable are you and me? How dare you use a cup of water to save a load of firewood? What about Jiang Ziya? We are the virtuous people of Kunlun Mountain, and with the help of disciples from the Three Mountains and Five Mountains, isn’t it a pity that we went and lost our lives in vain?”

Guo Yuan said: "Brother, what you said is wrong. We are the subjects of King Zhou. Living in King Zhou's land and eating King Zhou's food, who has not received the favor of King Zhou? The country exists, we exist, and the country If you die, I should die with you. This is a good time to serve the country. What's the point of dying? Why do you say such unreasonable words? Here we are, what are you waiting for? If it comes to our brothers’ talents and knowledge, who cares about the people of Kunlun, we should solve the emperor’s worries as a matter of course.”

Ding Ce couldn't make up his mind. He said to Guo Yuan: "Brother, this matter is very important. It is not a trivial matter. How can we act rashly? Let us discuss it again." While the two were arguing, they suddenly heard a horse neighing outside the door, and then they saw a man. The big man came in from outside.

It turned out that this man's surname was Dong Mingzhong, and he hurriedly broke in at this time. When Ding Ce saw that Dong Zhong was coming, he asked, "Why are you here in such a hurry?" Dong Zhong said, "My younger brother came here specially to ask my elder brother to help King Zhou and repel the Zhou soldiers. Yesterday, my younger brother was at Chaoge. City, I saw the recruitment notice. I took the liberty to report the names of my elder brother Guo and my younger brother to Fei Lian's house. Now I am here specifically to invite my brothers to see King Zhou tomorrow.

The ancients said: 'If you learn literature and martial arts, your goods will belong to the emperor's family. ’ What’s more, when the king is in danger, how can we, the ministers, just sit back and watch? "

After hearing this, Ding Ce said: "My good brother reported my name without even asking me. This matter is of great importance and is not a trivial matter. How can you be so careless?"

Dong Zhong said. "I guess that brother will definitely come out to serve the country. Where are the people who are waiting for help?" Guo Yuan laughed happily and said: "What Brother Dong Xian said is absolutely right. I am here to persuade Brother Ding. I don't want you to have reported it first." "Ding Ce had no choice but to prepare a banquet to entertain the two of them. The three of them drank all night and arrived at Chaoge City the next morning.

Ding Ce and his party entered Chaoge City and waited for the imperial edict outside the Meridian Gate. The official of the Meridian Gate went to the main hall and announced: "There are three wise men waiting for the decree outside the Meridian Gate." King Zhou ordered: "The three of them are announced to enter the palace together."

The officials of the Meridian Gate went to the Meridian Gate to deliver the imperial edict. After listening to the imperial edict, the three people went into the palace to perform a great ceremony and professed their obedience to Feng Zhou. King Zhou said, "Yesterday Fei Lian recommended three talented people. They must have some good way to defeat the Zhou soldiers, assist me in governing the world, and share my worries. Naturally, I will ennoble the three princes, and I will never break my promise."

Ding Cecha reported: "I have heard that 'war is a dangerous thing, and wise kings have no choice but to use it.' Now that Zhou soldiers have arrived here, Jiangshan Sheying is in danger like a pile of eggs. Although a few of us have I have been familiar with military literature since childhood and understand the principles of attacking and defending. We are just serving Your Majesty with all our loyalty. As for success or failure, it is not something that our ministers can predict. I hope that Your Majesty will issue an order to the relevant government to ensure that we provide for it. We are very lucky if we don’t interfere with our plans.”

King Zhou was overjoyed, and immediately made Ding Ce the chief general of Shence, Guo Yuan and Dong Zhong the mighty generals, and gave them war robes and jade belts. The three of them wore the attire of a first-class official in the palace. banquet. The three generals thanked King Zhou for his kindness and went to see Lu Renjie the next morning. Lu Renjie mobilized his troops and left Chaoge City.

Lu Renjie mobilized his troops and horses to leave the city and set up camp. In the Zhou army's camp, someone had already entered the Chinese army's tent and reported: "Commander the case, Marshal Chengtang has sent a large army to set up camp outside the city and ask the Marshal to issue an order to deal with it."

Jiang Ziya passed down the order: "Let Xizhou Winter Army leave the camp to challenge Chengtang Camp." In Chengtang Camp, there were also scouts who came to the Chinese army's tent to report: "The troops from Zhou Camp are coming to challenge." Lu Ren After hearing the report, Jie personally led the generals out of the camp gate. Looking up, he saw Jiang Ziya riding Sibuxiang, with disciples from three mountains and five mountains lined up on both sides.

Nezha is on the hot wheel, holding a fire-pointed spear, standing on Ziya's left hand; Yang E is holding a three-pointed knife, wearing a light yellow robe, riding a white horse, standing on Ziya's right side, Lei Zhenzi, Wei Hu, Jin Zha, Muzha, Li Jing, Nangong Shi, Wu Ji and others lined up on one side. The princes rubbed shoulders and stood in a large area. This scene was very different from Chengtang Camp.

Na Lu Renjie took the lead and rushed out of the formation, shouting: "Jiang Ziya, I am polite here." Jiang Ziya bowed on Si Buxiang's back and said, "Who is the general coming?"

Lu Renjie said: "I am Lu Renjie, the governor-general of the army under the command of King Zhou. Jiang Ziya, you are a Taoist man in Kunlun Mountain, why don't you follow the country's teachings and laws, gather the princes, and act wantonly and rampantly? To the extreme, as a minister, you attack the king, capture the city, massacre the people, kill the generals, kill the soldiers, and now you come to the capital. How can you escape the crime of treason after a thousand years? Now that the emperor has forgiven you for your past crimes, you are not prepared to investigate them further. You can quickly surrender, withdraw your troops from the city, and live in your own fiefs. Do not prepare for trouble as before. tribute, the emperor will also treat you with courtesy. If you still insist on it, the emperor will become furious when the time comes, and he will definitely lead his army directly to your lair and trample you into dust. At that time, you will regret how you repaid Is it too late?”

After hearing what Lu Renjie said, Jiang Ziya said with a smile: "As a minister whom King Zhou relies on, why don't you understand the changes in current affairs and the principles of rise and fall? Nowadays, King Zhou has done a lot of evil and evil, and people and The gods are angry together. The princes of the world are gathering together in Chaoge. King Zhou is in danger sooner or later. Sir, do you still want to use your words to confuse people? In those days, Cheng Tang was benevolent and prosperous, but Xia Rong was tyrannical and unjust. In the world, Chengtang exiled Lai to Nanchao and took over the world in place of the Xia Dynasty. It has been more than six hundred years since King Zhou's sins exceeded those of Xia Chai. I am now entrusted with the task of conquering King Zhou. You thief of the people, why is Lu Gong so stubborn and wants to support the emperor? This is contrary to the destiny of heaven! Now all the princes in the world are gathering together here, with great momentum and military power. You have already seen it! I see. Compared with the rest of the world, Chaoge is just a small place. Its situation is extremely dangerous. It is like a pile of eggs that is about to collapse at any time. Under such circumstances, Lu Gong is still in front of our army. Isn’t it unwise to argue so hard?”

After hearing Jiang Ziya's lesson, Lu Renjie was very angry and said: "You are such a tough-talking rebel. I thought you were a mature, prudent and virtuous person, so I used reason to persuade you. How could I know that you are like this?" With the strength of the people and your nonsense, you just don’t think about it, but if you are a minister who comes to attack the monarch, aren’t you afraid of being infamy for thousands of years?”

After speaking, he turned back to the generals on his left and right and said, "Which one of you will catch this thief for me?" As soon as he finished speaking, a general behind him shouted, "I'm here." As he said this, he patted his horse. Dancing his sword, he ran straight out and rushed towards Ziya.

When Nangong Shi who was beside Jiang Ziya saw this scene, he rushed out to talk to the general who came - it turned out that he was Guo Yuan who persuaded Ding Ce to come out to assist the king. ―Fighted hard. The two men and two horses were twisting together, and the two knives were dancing left and right. The two armies were beating drums to cheer up, and for a while there were loud shouts of killing.

Ding Ce saw that his friend could not win for a while, so he rushed to help him fight. On Ziya's side, Wu Ji rode his horse forward to stop Ding Ce from fighting. Two pairs of four people fought for more than 20 rounds, and Nanbohou Eshun rushed out of Ziya's formation and came to help Generals Nan and Wu fight. Dong Zhong also rushed out to help in the Chengtang camp.

One of the princes in Jiang Ziya's camp had long been angered by this scene. He was Dong Bohou Jiang Wenhuan. I saw him slapping his mount Zi Huai, rushing out with lightning speed, and with a knife knocked Dong Zhong off his horse, who was talking about helping King Zhou.

Dongbohou Jiang Wenhuan killed Dong Zhong with his saber and rushed left and right in front of the Chengtang Camp. He was as brave as a tiger and as ferocious as a jackal. When Nezha next to Jiang Ziya saw this, he shouted: "We have attacked five passes in a row, but we have not made any great achievements. Today we arrived in the capital to fight to the death with the Chengtang soldiers. How can we let the victory that is about to be won be thrown away again?" "

After saying that, he climbed on the hot wheel and rushed over with a fire-tip gun in hand. Yang Jian also slapped his horse away, wielding his sword, and charged into the formation. In Chengtang camp, Lu Renjie rode forward and held Yang Jian at bay with his gun. So the two armies fought together. The sky was dark and the earth was dark, gods were crying and ghosts were screaming, the sound of killing was everywhere, and corpses were everywhere.

Nezha and Ding Ce had a big battle, and Guo Yuan also rushed to the front to help. The war drums were heard loudly, and the clan flag covered the sun and moon. Nezha threw up the Qiankun Circle and hit Ding Ce. It's a pity that this wise man who cultivated his moral character and cultivated his character has turned into a dream before he achieved even an inch of success.

After Nezha killed Ding Ce, Guo Yuan saw that the situation was not good and fled to the wilderness. He was overtaken by Yang Jian, who cut him down from behind and died under his horse. Lu Renjie took a look and thought it would be difficult to win, so he was defeated and returned to the camp. Jiang Ziya also called for gold to withdraw his troops.

Lu Renjie reported the battle situation to King Zhou. King Zhou was very upset when he heard that he had lost three generals in a row and was defeated for a while. Today, three people were killed in the battle. He was a famous figure in Chengtang. If he joined the Zhou Dynasty, he would also be a minister who could determine the world. It would not be a problem to split the earth. Now he died in vain in the battle between the two armies, which shows that the number of days is not in business.

Now the Zhou army has eight hundred princes under its command, and there are millions of soldiers in the Chaoge formation. It has also exhausted all its strength, and no one with extraordinary genius and wisdom can save the building that is about to collapse.

But he said that the Zhou army had a great victory in the first battle, and the morale of the army was high. They wanted to rush into Chaoge City immediately to punish King Zhou Dufu. However, even though Chengtang's energy is exhausted, the city has high walls and thick walls, and there are soldiers loyal to Chengtang. If you want to attack this city, it will take more than a day's attack.

In this way, the armies of both sides were at the foot of Chaoge City. For three days, there was a small force, and for five days, there was a big fight. Each lost its troops and generals. Zhou could not destroy the mall, and Shang could not retreat Zhou's troops.

One day, when Jiang Ziya was in charge of military affairs, a military report officer suddenly came to report that it was General Cheng Tang who was approaching the battle to challenge him. Jiang Ziya said: "Who is going to fight?" As soon as he finished speaking, Dongbohou Jiang Wenhuan came out and said: "Young general is willing to go." Jiang Ziya agreed.

Jiang Wenhuan mobilized his troops and came out of the camp. When he took a look, he realized that it was Yin Chengxiu, the son of Yin Ruipai. So he said, "Is the person here Yin Chengxiu? Your father did not know the current affairs, waggled his lips, defended King Zhou, and angered Marshal Jiang, so he was killed by me. Now you come to die again?"

When Yin Chengxiu heard this, he was furious and cursed: "What a bold boy. The ancients said: 'When two countries are fighting, they will not kill the envoys.' My father followed the emperor's order and came to make peace and reconciliation between the two countries. Instead, he was You kid killed me. The revenge for killing my father is irreconcilable. I must capture you and cut your body into pieces. Only then can I eliminate the hatred in my heart." After cursing, he waved his sword and clapped his horse forward, running straight ahead. Jiang Wenhuan comes to kill.

There is another story in this, but it is that the Zhou army besieged Chaoge for a long time. Seeing that he could not retreat, King Zhou discussed with all the civil and military officials. Yin Pobai asked for orders to go to the Zhou Dynasty for peace talks. In order to avoid shaking the morale of the army, Jiang Ziya ordered the sergeants to kill Yin Pobai. At this time, Yin Chengxiu came to avenge his father.

Seeing Yin Chengxiu coming to kill, Jiang Wenhuan raised his sword to fight. The two men, two horses, and two swords circled and intertwined, fighting together. This was a good fight, and one commenter wrote: The two generals are fighting with overwhelming force, and the clouds are shining brightly.

This one is determined to keep his destiny true; the other one is determined to be a heroic king. This knife looks like three winter snows; that sharp blade looks like nine autumn frosts. This one is loyal and loyal to help the Lord of Zhou, and the other one is brave and loyal to help King Yue. This has always been the case in fierce battles, how can it be like a general being promoted forever? The two generals fought for more than 30 rounds. Jiang Wenhuan was a famous general in the East. How could Yin Chengxiu be his opponent? Jiang Wenhuan had already cut him off from his horse with a knife.

It's a pity that both his father and son died serving the country loyally. Jiang Wenhuan dismounted, cut off Yin Chengxiu's head and brought it back to the camp, where he met Ziya and told him about the battle. Jiang Ziya was overjoyed.

On Chengtang's side, someone had already gone to the Meridian Gate to observe and report: "Yin Chengxiu's head was chopped off by Jiang Wenhuan, and it was hung on the camp gate to wait for an order. Please give an order to decide how to deal with it."

King Zhou was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked his ministers: "Things have gotten so bad, what should we do?" Before he finished speaking, someone else came in to observe: "The soldiers of Zhou attacked the four gates of Kyoto together. We have deployed ladders and artillery. The situation is very urgent and it is difficult for the soldiers to defend the city. I hope your majesty will decide on a strategy to defend the city as soon as possible."

Before King Zhou had time to speak, Lu Renjie came to the gathering and said, "I personally went to the city to find a way to defend and protect the city. I will deal with the immediate needs first. Other matters can be discussed later."

King Zhou agreed with him. Lu Renjie left the main hall and went to the city to guard it himself. Jiang Ziya saw that Cheng Tang's army defended the city very well and it was difficult to capture it for a while, so he sounded the gong and withdrew his troops and returned to the military camp.

When they arrived at the Chinese army's tent, Jiang Ziya discussed with the generals and said: "Lu Renjie is a loyal and staunch man. He tried his best to defend the city. It will be difficult to capture it for a while. Besides, the city wall in the capital is very strong. If we attack with strength, , a lot of effort should be planned to capture."

All the disciples said together: "We each used the earth to escape, entered the city, and then cooperated inside and outside, we can capture the city in one fell swoop. Why should we compete with them inside the city?"

Jiang Ziya said: "No, if you are allowed to enter the city now, it will inevitably hurt the people in the city. How can the people be affected by the war? Besides, the people in the capital live under the feet of King Feng. How much oppression and tyranny have they suffered from this foolish king? They They have already suffered a lot; now that we are here, we have also caused them harm. This is not saving the people from fire and water, but actually harming them."

After listening to Jiang Ziya's words, all the disciples said: "The marshal's views are very benevolent and wise." Jiang Ziya said: "Now the people are suffering from the cruelty of King Zhou, such as breaking the leg bones and cutting open the fetus in the belly. The heavy burden of building a large-scale construction project has made it difficult for the people to bear the heavy burden. Everyone hates it so much that they want to eat King Zhou's flesh and sleep on King Zhou's skin. We might as well write a notice and shoot it into the city with arrows to inform the people in the city, so It will make people lose their temper and make everyone want to rebel, so we will capture the capital in a few days."
