The Travelers of the Heavens

In October of the fifty-eighth year of King Nan of Zhou Dynasty and the fiftieth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin Dynasty (257 BC), Chenying, the old capital of Chu State, was in the royal palace.

Wang Yu sat on the throne where the King of Chu once stood and handled military affairs

"Lord Marquis, I have something to report." A general came to the main hall. He said to Wang Yu with a worried look on his face.

"General Feng, what's the matter?"Wang Yu put down the official document and asked

"Lord Marquis, there are more than 140,000 soldiers from Chu who are coming to surrender one after another. Let them eat openly every day. How much food will this cost? I will ask Lord Marquis to think twice," General Feng said.

"General Feng, has the army run out of food?"Wang Yu asked back

"No," General Feng denied.

"Is that about to run out?"Wang Yu asked again

"There are still 600,000 stones of food and grass in the army," General Feng replied.

"So what are you anxious about?"Wang Yu asked

"I think it’s a pity to waste food on these Chu people," General Feng said.

"HahahaGeneral Feng, they are no longer Chu people." Wang Yu stepped down from the throne and patted General Feng on the shoulder.

"Well this"General Feng was a little confused.

"General Feng, these hundreds of thousands of Chu troops will soon be effective," Wang Yu said again

""Yes." General Feng couldn't say any more, so he responded respectfully.

"Okay, let's go down." Wang Yu waved away General Feng.

"Yingdu.. Yingdu.. Haha." Wang Yu squinted his eyes and muttered

""Return the soul, destroy the soul" Wang Yu called again

"In"Two women appear"

"Rub your shoulders for me," Wang Yu said.

After hearing this, the two women looked at each other and left without responding to Wang Yu.

"Hey! Come back to me!"Wang Yu shouted loudly.

As a result, the sisters Zhuan Po and Mie Hun ignored Wang Yu at all and went straight out of the hall.

Wang Yu was left alone in the hall in embarrassment.

In November of that year, Wang Yu led 140,000 people from the Chu Kingdom The surrender army and the 200,000 Guo army were dispatched.

However, on the way, he asked others to bring the 100,000 Guo army back to China under his own banner, while he led the entire Chu surrender army and the remaining 100,000 Guo army to divert the troops to Qin. They left Qianzhong County.

A force of 240,000 troops broke into Qianzhong County, causing shock to the Qin State. At this time, the Qin State had just recovered some strength. King Qin Yingji ordered two thousand of the Qianzhong garrison to guard Qiancheng, the capital of the government, waiting for reinforcements.

This It's a bit difficult to force people to do it. Now the main force of the Qin army, 200,000, is in Guanzhong, and the remaining 70,000 to 80,000 are scattered in various places. However, there are only 2,000 people defending a county in central Guizhou. It can be seen that the defense here is ineffective. They face Wang Yu The 240,000-strong army was helpless to resist.

Seeing the inevitable situation, the governor of central Guizhou decisively sent someone to contact Wang Yu secretly and asked for surrender.

Wang Yu accepted the surrender of the governor and cooperated with the other party. A"battle of attack and defense" was staged. Just look outside the city of Guizhou. The densely packed Guo army surrounded the city.

Amidst the shouts of killing and the clash of weapons, the defenders took the initiative to open the city gate. Less than half of the Guo army The city was breached within an hour, and all the defenders were"killed."

When the news came out, the reinforcements of the Qin State that had just set out turned back directly. The entire territory of central Guizhou was captured by the Guo State, and part of the road to Hanzhong and Bashu was also opened.

Capture of Guizhou After the victory, Wang Yu led his troops back to Guo.

Guo's unscrupulous occupation of other countries' territories aroused the dissatisfaction of the princes, and Qi and Yan, who had always been indifferent to world affairs, also expressed their condemnation.

Qin took this opportunity to negotiate with Qi and Yan Alliance, plus Zhao and Chu, the five-nation anti-Guo alliance was established. The capital of Guo State was Fendu, Taishi Mansion. February 256 BC

"Hahaha, only Qin and Zhao can fight in the Five Kingdoms Alliance, the rest are not of concern." When Wang Yu heard the news, he didn't take it to heart at all.

"I think we should still pay attention to the alliance of the five countries. According to the news sent back by Lin'er and Bai Feng, Yan State has 600,000 troops, and Qi State has at least 500,000 troops. In addition to the more than 700,000 troops of Qin and Zhao, These four countries alone have more than 1.8 million troops, and their strength cannot be underestimated," said Concubine Yan.

"At first glance, there are indeed a lot of people, but the role they play is not big. You must know that the food consumed by nearly two million people every day is very staggering. Where does such a huge amount of food come from? Furthermore, they still have to keep troops stationed in the country, so it is impossible to bring all the troops to the front line. The Five-Nation Alliance does not need to worry," Wang Yu said

"I think it’s better to be prepared to deal with the possible situation where the five countries attack me," Da Siming said.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." Wang Yu took advantage of the situation and passed the blame to Da Siming.

"But speaking of it, I'm really not used to the days when the Moon God is not around," Concubine Yan said. This is a joke.

At the beginning of this year, Emperor Zhou fell ill and was very seriously ill. After hearing the news, the Moon God went to Luoyi to visit him until now. He hasn't come back yet. I guess Emperor Zhou doesn't have much time left.

"Yes, Emperor Zhou is seriously ill. As a member of the royal family, she went to Luoyi to visit Emperor Zhou. Maybe the visit turned into presiding over the funeral." Wang Yu spread his hands and joked.

"If Emperor Zhou dies, where should we go?" Concubine Yan said

"Haha, you actually asked such a stupid question. You really shouldn't. Doesn't Emperor Zhou have any sons, grandsons or nephews? If he dies, we can establish another Zhou emperor, and the Zhou family will not be cut off." Wang Yu teased Concubine Yan.

"snort!"Concubine Yan was ridiculed by Wang Yu. She was very dissatisfied and snorted coldly.

"The Moon God brought 40,000 soldiers to visit the Emperor of Zhou. This formation is to take over the Kingdom of Zhou," Chi Lian said.

"Well, you have seen it. This matter was discussed between me and her. King Zhou Wangji has already bordered with me, so our soldiers should also go over to escort him, right?" Wang Yu said. This matter happened at the beginning of the year between Wang Yu and According to Moon God's calculations, Zhou Wangji was almost undefended, but it was not safe. He took advantage of the opportunity of Moon God to visit the Emperor of Zhou to lead troops to take over Wangji's defense.

Zhou Wangji's territory was not large, but there were many cities, which was enough. There are thirty-six cities, large and small, and these thirty-odd cities only have a population of more than 30,000 and are guarded by more than a thousand soldiers. Among them, Luoyi, where the Emperor of Zhou lives, has only 600 people, and they are still guarding the palace.

The Moon God's 40,000 horses each Upon arriving, the soldiers of Zhou Wangji immediately disarmed and dispersed on the spot without causing any disturbance.

At this time, the Moon God, who was far away in Luoyi, was presiding over the affairs of Luoyi and was considering whether to move the capital. After thinking about it again and again, Yue God still gave up the idea of ​​moving the capital to Luoyi now.

In March of the fifty-ninth year of King Nan of Zhou and the fifty-first year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin (256 BC),

Ji Yan, the emperor of Zhou, died in the palace of Luoyi. His age is unknown and is estimated to be unknown. will be less than 80 years old.

Four of Ji Yan's seven sons have died many years before his father, and two of the remaining three have also entered old age. Only the youngest son Ji Hao is not bad in terms of age. , so the Moon God ordered thousands of soldiers to enter the palace, and declared in front of Ji Yan's coffin to support Ji Hao's succession as the new emperor. The ministers and nobles of the Zhou Dynasty, including the envoys from the East and West Zhou principalities, were also greatly surprised when they saw this. Although he was dissatisfied with the Moon God's domineering behavior, he could only succumb to the Moon God's power.

After the funeral, the thirty-six-year-old Ji Hao officially became the new generation of Emperor Zhou, and this was the later Emperor Zhou Yuan.
