Three Hundred And Thirty Eighth Chapter Wu Geng Restores The Country
The next day, the news of King Wu's death spread throughout the streets and alleys of Haojing.
Prince Ji Song succeeded to the throne and was named King Cheng. Lu Hou Jidan became the Duke of Zhou. Because King Cheng was young, the Duke of Zhou ruled on his behalf.
In restaurants, teahouses, casinos, and in the streets and alleys, people are talking about Ji Fa's death. Some people say that Ji Fa died of hard work because of worrying about the country and the people.
Some people say that Ji Fa was killed by others, and the person who killed him was his most trusted younger brother Zhou Gongdan, who became king and succeeded to the throne, but Zhou Gongdan was the regent. This is the best evidence. The words that Wang is young and difficult to distinguish right from wrong are nothing but deceptive nonsense.
There are also people who worry that Zhou Gongdan will launch a coup soon, and worry that he can't wait to attack King Cheng.
Because the news of Wu Wang's murder will reach Cheng Wang's ears sooner or later. Although Cheng Wang is just a child, the child will grow up sooner or later. Those who are as shrewd as Zhou Gongdan naturally understand the principle of cutting grass and roots.
Rumors spread across the country as if they had grown wings.
King Cheng heard it, Duke Zhou heard it, Wu Geng heard it, Huo Shuchu, Guan Shuxian, and Cai Shudu, who were sent by King Wu to monitor Wu Geng, heard it, and so did the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
On the surface, the court is still so peaceful, but everyone knows that the world is going to be chaotic again!
In Hao Jing, in a secret room, the young King Cheng was sitting majestically on the dragon chair, and a little court lady was kneeling opposite him, only to hear King Cheng say coldly: "What did you just say?"
But really?"
After all, he stared intently at the weak woman in front of him, two terrifying rays of light that did not belong to humans shot out from his eyes, those eyes seemed to swallow all the creatures in front of him alive.
The palace lady said: "Everything I said just now is true, King Wu was indeed killed by Zhou Gongdan!"
"What evidence!"
The court lady hurriedly said: "The poison that Duke Zhou administered is extracted from the 'miscanthus' and 'yan sour' from southern Xinjiang. Although this poison is colorless and tasteless, after taking it..." Speaking of this, The court lady couldn't help lowering her head, and two Hongyun flowers flew up on her cheeks.
Seeing this, King Cheng hurriedly asked, "What should I do after taking the medicine?"
The maid heard the words and could only whisper: "After taking the medicine, people will lose their sexual desire, if the king doesn't believe it, just ask the princess.
Cheng Wang's body visibly trembled, and he couldn't help saying angrily: "Why are you so clear, could it be that you gave this medicine?"
The maid trembled when she heard the words: "This medicine is indeed given by the servant!"
King Cheng stared at the maid coldly and said, "Why did Duke Zhou kill his father, and why did you help him?"
The court lady heard the words and explained: "Duke Zhou's love gave birth to hatred! Your Majesty knows that not only Ji Fa, the second son of King Wen at that time, but also Zhou Gonghua, the fourth son, are deeply in love with the current empress.
King Cheng stood up angrily and pulled out the sword from his waist with a "Cang" sound, and shouted, "Shut up! Tell me! Why did you help him?"
The maid murmured: "Yes! Why should I help him? Because he kidnapped my mother! I lost my father when I was young, and my mother raised me, but he actually threatened me with my mother's life! You Say what should I do?"
Upon hearing this, King Cheng said coldly: "Then why are you telling me the truth now!"
"Because he killed my mother!" shouted the court lady!
"Since you were sent by Zhou Gongdan to serve your father, then you can go with your father!" Ji said to herself, pointing the tip of the sword at the maid's throat.
Seeing this, the court lady suddenly became calm, "This servant has already expected this day! Don't dirty the king's sword, this servant will come by himself!"
After finishing speaking, he suddenly lowered his head and slammed into one of the pilasters. Blood gushed out from the palace maid's forehead continuously, staining the ground red in a short while, and the unlucky beauty faded away.
Seeing this, King Cheng looked up to the sky and sighed, "Father, have you seen it? The one who killed you was actually your most trusted younger brother, the fourth uncle I once loved so much! You told me not to listen to slander, but look, this Is the little court lady really a traitor? Is there such a heroic traitor in the world?" After saying this, he walked out of the secret room.
Just after King Zhou Cheng left, a figure emerged from the maid's body, clasped his fists slightly at the maid, and said, "For the important matter of Lord Hou! I'm sorry!"
If someone is here, they will be surprised to find that the man in front of them is not the chief general of the Azure Dragon Guard among the five guards of Emperor Di Xin.
It is true that the maid is true, and it is also true that the mother of the court lady was taken into the mansion by Duke Zhou.
But the fact is that Duke Zhou saw an old woman fainted by the side of the road, and felt pity for him, so he accepted him as a servant and rewarded her with a bite of food.
As for the court lady, Duke Zhou didn't know her at all!
"So! King Cheng has already fallen for it!" In Yindu, in the palace, Wu Geng paced unhurriedly, standing in front of him was the former General of the Five Guards.
"Exactly! Ji Song has firmly believed that his father was the victim of Ji Dan, and he has made every effort to get rid of Ji Dan!" Azure Dragon guard general vowed.
"Okay! Now that Ji Song has been tricked! The last obstacle is the third prison! In addition, Dongyi and Pucheng should be contacted as soon as possible! I will trouble you to go through it for me!"
"Obey!" The five hurriedly said upon hearing this!
In the capital of the Huo Kingdom, Ji Chu was discussing matters with the ministers, but the content of the discussion was exactly the rumors he had heard. Suddenly a servant came to report, "Report to the lord, there is a person outside the door holding a token of becoming a king~"!"
Ji Chu was startled and said: "The envoy of King Cheng? Could it be that the rumor is true? Spread it quickly!" After saying that, he ordered the generals to stand up and avoid it!
After a while, the servant ushered in a man. I saw this man wearing a gold hoop on his head and a sword hanging from his waist.
Ji Chu quickly helped him up and said humanely: "The general is the envoy of the Son of Heaven, how dare Ji Chu accept this worship! But I don't know why the general came here this time?"
The man said: "The last general came to seek help from the general at the order of King Cheng, and here is the secret letter from King Cheng!" After finishing speaking, he took out a letter in a yellow cover from his bosom and handed it to Ji Chu.
Ji Chu said: "Thank you for your hard work, General! Come here, order me to go down and organize a banquet to clean up the dust for the General!"
The man said: "Don't dare, King Cheng ordered it, so the matter is very important, this letter must be opened and read by the prince in front of the general, and burned immediately after reading it!
Ji Chu opened the letter according to his words, his face became more and more serious, and after reading it, he lit the letter with a candle. Then he ordered his servants to bring them down to rest.
The man just came to the courtyard. It was surrounded by countless family generals in Gaixin. The man couldn't help saying angrily: "What is the meaning of this, my lord?
Ji Chu said with a complex expression: "King Cheng ordered in the letter, so this matter is of great importance, and I want this king to save the life of the general no matter what! General, I have offended you!"
The man smiled and said: "'The king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die!' I have already sold this life to the royal family. I hope the prince can live up to the trust, and the general will go first!"
Say it. He drew his sword and slayed himself, but the corpse stood still.
Ji Chu stared blankly at the man's body and said, "Uncle Huo will definitely live up to the general's trust!"
The corpse fell down with a bang after hearing these words.
In the royal palaces of Guan Guo and Cai Guo, a similar scene was also staged at the same time. Seeing King Cheng's edict, the two Wang Shuyi couldn't help but be filled with indignation.
"Hahaha..., is the king finally going to do something? It's time to let the people in the world know how powerful we are! If we don't do anything, the people in the world will probably forget me, Da Qin!
Inside the City Lord's Mansion of Pucheng, an old man laughed wildly. After laughing, he murmured to himself: "King Wu is dead, and King Cheng is still young. Duke Zhou is suspected, it is truly a god-sent opportunity!"
"The general, please tell the king [the eight thousand dead men in Pugu City are willing to advance and retreat with the king to survive and die together!"
Seeing the General of the Five Guards standing with a smile on the side, the old man suddenly realized his gaffe, and hurriedly gave a deep salute, swearing.
"Okay! As long as Prince Great Shang raises his troops, our Dongyi tribes will definitely lead troops to respond! A mere little Bangzhou dares to provoke our Great Qin Majesty. I must show him how powerful our Dongyi cavalry archers are!"
Wu Geng raised troops, each of the nine tribes of Dongyi sent 10,000 troops to help each other;
There are a total of 198,000 regular troops, and the seventy-two princes have already participated in the anti-Zhou Dynasty.
The news of Wu Geng's rebellion against Zhou swept the entire land of China. The common people have rumored that Wu Geng is leading a mighty army of hundreds of thousands to attack Haojing, and he is here to restore the Great Qin Dynasty.
The imperial court was shocked, but what was even more shocking was yet to come! Guan, Cai, and Huo also joined Wu Geng's team, and their slogan was "King Qin".
At this time. The ruling and opposition parties, civil and military officials are really in chaos.
In the main hall of the king of Zhou, Zhou Gongdan is giving an impassioned speech. What he wants is to stabilize the hearts of the people, and what he wants is the support of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and King Cheng.
Cheng Wang looked at all this coldly. He deeply remembers the words of his mother, "forbearance"! Now what else can he do besides forbearance?!
"Like a tiger crouching on a hill, lurking its minions to endure!" Perhaps only this sentence can best reflect Cheng Wang's mood at the moment!
Regardless of whether Zhou Gongdan's Eastern Expedition is successful or not, as long as he can cultivate his own power within this period of time, then he will become the final winner!
King Cheng secretly played his own wishful thinking, not knowing that he had fallen into someone else's trap, but how could the extremely clever Zhou Gongdan think that the young King Cheng had murderous intentions towards him!
Finally, Zhou Gongdan successfully persuaded everyone to agree to send troops. King Cheng named Zhou Gongdan the Grand Marshal of the Eastern Expedition, and was fully in charge of the Eastern Expedition.
So, three days later, Zhou Gongdan hurriedly led an army of 300,000 people who had assembled urgently and set off!
A month later, the two armies finally met! Zhou Gongdan stood firmly on the chariot, holding the shaft of the chariot, and looked at the rebel army from a distance, with a heavy look in his eyes.
Zhou Gongdan once looked enviously at the figure of Jiang Shang sitting under the big red umbrella, waving the command flag, and commanding thousands of troops, but now he finally has the opportunity to experience the joy of being a general, but he There was no trace of joy on his face.
Zhou Gongdan quietly watched the rebel army advance in an orderly manner, stood still, and pointed the front of the soldiers at himself. He didn't understand why Wu Geng was able to pull up a regular army of hundreds of thousands of people in just a few months.
In front of the rebel team, dozens of generals were quietly lined up. These people used guns, hammers, axes, or maces, but without exception, they were majestic and murderous. As for the rebels At the forefront, a figure was also carefully looking at Zhou Jun's team.
I saw that this person was wearing a soaring helmet and chain mail, carrying a golden back knife, a free horse under his crotch, and a pair of tiger eyes looking powerful.
The wind suddenly picked up, blowing the dragon robe on the back and flying up and down. Like a wave of blood. Looking at it with cold eyes, there is an innate domineering nature all over the body, but it turns out that it is Wu Geng who is the chief culprit of this riot!
When Duke Zhou saw Wu Geng watching his team, he couldn't help saying angrily: "Wu Geng! You are a thief who repays kindness, why did you rebel against the court with virtue? Have you forgotten who left your life behind?"
Wu Geng laughed wildly and said: "Repay virtue with grievances? Repay kindness with revenge? Treason the court? I, Wu Geng, have been charged with such a serious crime! But I don't know what kind of virtue you have in the Zhou Dynasty. What kindness does your Ji family have to me! Who owns this world! Who is it?
A real rebellion!"
Zhou Gongdan said angrily when he heard the words: "Shut up! The former Qin had no way, and it was self-destruction. The princes of the world chose King Wu as the son of heaven. This world is naturally my Zhou family. If you raise troops privately, this is
Make trouble.
King Wu couldn't bear the extinction of your Yin clan, so he named you Marquis of Yin, but you took advantage of King Wu's new funeral and King Cheng was young. But committing crimes and causing chaos, isn’t this repaying virtue with resentment?”
Wu Geng sneered a few times, and said to Uncle Huo who was beside him: "Others kill my people and destroy my country, they are doing justice for the heavens and petitioning for the people;
The three princes are talking about who is the real culprit!"
Although Ji Chu and others cooperated with Wu Geng. But he couldn't bear to mention the past, so he played a trick right now.
Da Maqian said to Zhou Gongdan: "Ji Dan, you killed King Wu, persecuted the young master, conspired to usurp the throne, you are extremely shameless! I will be summoned by King Cheng to attack you.
But for the sake of you and my brother, as long as you are willing to take the initiative to resign from the post of regent and return the imperial power to King Cheng, we will let you live. But don't blame being a brother if you're obsessed
His face turned ruthless.
Zhou Gongdan hurriedly explained after hearing the words: "Third brother, you must not be deceived by villains! Fourth brother's Eastern Expedition is here at the king's order!"
Ji Du heard the words and replied with a smile: "King Cheng has long been under your control. I'm afraid it's just your one-sided opinion about why he came here by order! We have already agreed with Yin Hou that the queen of King Qin
, Great Zhou and Yin Shang share the world equally, the two countries live in peace and will never fight!"
Zhou Gongdan was furious when he heard the words: "Brother, you are so confused! This country is already under my Ji family's world, why should I share it equally with others!
Who am I, Zhou Gongdan? Others don’t know, don’t you know, brother! As long as you look back now, we are still brothers. Regarding your actions, “I, Zhou Gongche, can
let bygones be bygones!
Ji Chu seemed to be moved by Zhou Gongdan's words, and he was thinking about something, but he heard Ji Xian persuade him: "々. Third brother, don't listen to his rhetoric, wait for me to go and capture this ungrateful man.
Unrighteous bastard!" After saying that, he clapped his horse and shook his gun and came to the front of the two armies!
How could Zhou Gongdan go to battle with him in person, only to see a young general rushing out of the Zhou camp, holding a steel gun, riding a horse to the field, clasped his fists to Ji Xian and said: "My lord, let the future
Will you!"
Guan Shuxian scolded: "Ignorant child, watch me go and get your head!"
After all, raise your gun and stab! The two men raised both guns at the same time, their horses stepped on a chain, and they killed one place in a blink of an eye. Ji Xianli's big gun sank, and a black iron gun moved like a giant python turning over, and his whole body was covered.
There is no flaw.
That young general is also very heroic, a gun makes people disappear, and there is a little cold light on the tip of the gun, like a white snake spitting out its core.
The round was tied.
But Ji Xian was already old after all, no match for the young general's bravery, sweat dripped down his face unknowingly.
After another twenty rounds, Ji Xian was careless for a while, and was stabbed in the right arm by the young general. Once the Duke of Zhou saw that his side had won,
Quickly waved the handsome flag and ordered the team to pursue the victory.
For a while, the sky was covered with banners and the drums were beating, and 300,000 Zhou troops rushed towards the rebels like a tide.
Wu Geng sneered coldly, and raised the golden back knife high, only to see five thousand archers mysteriously appearing in front of the rebel army. For a moment, arrows fell from the sky like locusts, and many Zhou soldiers returned.
He left with hatred without touching his opponent.
After dropping thousands of dead bodies, the two armies finally met.
Zhou Jun, who was so red-eyed, suddenly found that at some point, five hundred chariots appeared on his left and right sides at the same time, and eight warriors stood on each chariot.
Although these warriors are all wearing heavy armor, they have different responsibilities. The two warriors in front, one holding a whip, are responsible for driving the chariot, and the other is holding a bow and arrow to clear the front.
There are two soldiers on the left, right, and rear sides of the chariot. One of these two soldiers is holding a long spear to guard against the enemy cavalry, and the other is holding a short knife to prevent anyone from approaching.
Possibility of melee vehicles.
Only a sound of cannon was heard, and these thousand chariots rushed towards Zhou Jun at the same time.
When the distance got closer, Zhou Bing realized with horror that the chariot had obviously been remodeled, and even the horse had been armed up to its legs, and the two sharp blades protruding from the axle were like sickles.
They also ran rampant in the Zhou camp, and the Zhou soldiers undoubtedly became wheat to be harvested.
Fear spread in the Zhou camp. In order to boost morale, a general patted his horse and rushed towards a chariot.
Jia passed her chest.
Zhou Bing really collapsed, desperate to retreat to the rear. They are not cowards, and they are not afraid of dying in battle, but this does not mean that they can face this battle calmly.
A unilateral massacre without any suspense.
"The army is defeated like a mountain!" Zhou Gongdan naturally understands this truth, but what can he do now! He really didn't expect Wu Geng to be so cunning, let alone Wu Geng's strength
The power will grow to such an extent!
The blow that these thousand chariots brought to the Zhou army was undoubtedly devastating. Zhou Gongdan had no choice but to withdraw his troops and lead the remnants of the defeated army to flee to the west!
Victory Drum Back to Camp!
Zhou Gongdan didn't expect to suffer a disastrous defeat in the first confrontation, and thought that the third prison not only failed to contain Wu Geng, but instead helped Wu Geng to commit chaos together, he couldn't help but secretly annoyed.
At this time, a counselor offered advice: "My lord, the people of Qin are most fond of rejoicing. Whenever they win a victory, they will hold a banquet to celebrate. Presumably Wu Geng is the same. Today the rebel army won the victory.
It will definitely be celebrated all night and neglected [We might as well go to rob the camp tonight. "
Zhou Gongdan thought about it carefully and felt that what this person said was reasonable.
So, he allocated 10,000 horses, led by himself, to rob the camp. The rest of the troops stayed in place and guarded the camp.
But here in Yin Shang, Wu Geng also had the same plan. So he sent Pu Gong to lead the 8,000 dead men from Pugu City to rob the camp.
Clinker, the two armies actually met on the road. I only heard Zhou Jun's spies come to report: "Marshal Qi Bing, about three miles to the right of our army, a group of rebels is moving in the direction of our army's camp."
Zhou Gongdan said: "Can you find out how many troops the other side has?"
The spy said: "Because of the darkness, the number of the opponent's army has not yet been ascertained. I don't know whether to order the troops to stop advancing?"
Zhou Gongdan pondered for a moment, thinking that this was probably a small army sent by Wu Geng to investigate the military situation! Then he ordered: "Order the troops to move forward, you School Disciple to continue to investigate the military situation
!" What Zhou Gongdan didn't know was that Pugong on the opposite side also gave the same order.
When the spies of the two armies were surprised to find that the other side dispatched so many soldiers, the coaches of both sides also understood each other's intentions.
Thus, a scuffle started! This scuffle started from the third watch, and it was not declared over until the reinforcements from both sides arrived after dawn, and each retreated. .
