Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 489

The summer of the sixth year of Duke Yan 240 (456 years)
Xiaduo Kang

This is the hinterland of the snow-covered plateau, where the most primitive Qiang tribe lives, and their civilization is even lower than that of the Dangxiang people.

Last year, many Qiang tribes in the Xiaduokang area united and invaded the Yalong Dynasty in the southwest. After burning, killing and looting, they completely hated the Yalong Dynasty.

This year, Zanpu of the Yalong Dynasty brought many armies of princes to crusade against these primitive Qiang tribes, and vowed to arrest them all for human sacrifice, so as to wash away the hatred in their hearts.

Among the armies of many princes, the foreign prince Zhou State is the most dazzling, because Zhou Kingdom is the closest to these primitive Qiang tribes among the many princes.

Because he helped Zanpu catch sacrifices all the year round, and also helped Zanpu eliminate some disobedient princes, Zhou Guoxin's monarch Ji Li was canonized by Zanpu as "Dongbohou", that is, the chief of the eastern princes, equivalent to all the princes in the eastern region. The nominal boss of the vassal states.

"It is the greatest honor for us Zhou people to be Yalong Zanpu's dog!"

"There are no two suns in the sky, and no two masters in the earth. We Zhou people only have one sun in our hearts!"

Ji Li, the lord of the Great Zhou Dynasty, said so.

After so many years of development, the state of Zhou has more than 40 people, [-] soldiers, and [-] slaves. It is a well-deserved overlord of the Eastern princes.

As the army was marching, Zan Pu admired Ji Li: "If there is no Dong Bohou guarding the east, I really don't know how many rebels will come up and make trouble."

In recent years, the internal struggles of the Yalong Dynasty have become more and more intense, and the intrigue between the royal power and the priesthood has become more and more bottomless. Therefore, more and more foreign princes took the opportunity to rebel. Zanpu of all dynasties felt more and more powerless in suppressing the rebellion, so he was very grateful for the help They guard the state of Zhou in the east.

General Dragon and Tiger!

This is the praise of Ji Li by Zanpu of the previous generation, who considered him a victorious general like a dragon and a tiger.

[Using barbarians to control barbarians] is a national policy that Zanpu has been adhering to in the past dynasties. It uses foreign vassals to suppress those barbarians, and at the same time uses internal vassals to guard against foreign vassals. In the end, the ruler of the kingship only needs to unite with the priests to guard against internal vassals.

Barbarian theory of relativity, you think I am a barbarian, I also think you are a barbarian, so everyone is a barbarian.

At the end of the day, it's still the fists that do the talking.

"I would like to give my heart to Zanpu, even if I use my body as a sacrifice, I will have no complaints." Ji Li is very respectful to Zanpu, and he is still forbearing, even if he is not 100% sure , can't directly turn against the Yalong Dynasty.

Many foreign princes who wanted to challenge the Yalong Dynasty have been destroyed, and they have become sacrifices.

Ji Li was cautious, and continued to be a dog for the Yalong Dynasty, and even helped the Yalong Dynasty suppress those princes who resisted, until the victory was in hand, and then gave the Yalong Dynasty a fatal blow.

If the second child in the past wanted to challenge the boss, he had to take huge risks. Before Ji Li, the new second child, decided to challenge the boss, countless second children had died on the way to challenge.

Soon, the army of the Yalong Dynasty entered the Xiaduokang area, and the bloody massacre began.

However, during the battle, Zanpu was unfortunately shot in the throat by the Qiang people of Xiaduokang and died on the spot.

Zanpu is the spokesperson of the gods in the world. He was a god in the world, but now he was killed by the barbarians in the world. This is a huge blow to the belief of the Yalong people.

In order to let Zanpu die with dignity, Zanpu's relatives spread the news that Zanpu was struck by lightning and died in a surprise attack by Thor.

In their opinion, it is more honorable to be killed by a sneak attack by a god than to be killed by a mortal barbarian.

On the contrary, Dongbo Hou Jili was not only unscathed and lost almost no troops, but also captured a large number of Qiang slaves. These Qiang slaves will be transformed into Zhou's productivity and combat effectiveness.

However, when bringing Qiang slaves back to Zhouyuan, a special slave caught Ji Li's attention.

Because this Qiang slave can actually speak the language of their Great Zhou.

Since the Zhou people migrated to Zhouyuan, they have been incompatible with the surrounding ethnic groups, and their language and culture are completely different. Now there is a Qiang from the north who can speak Zhou language. How can this not be noticed by Ji Li?

"Dear King, I am Xu Xiake from the Eastern Yan Kingdom. I wanted to travel westward, but unfortunately I was captured by the Qiang people on the way, and now I am your slave. But I have special value. Please give me the dignity of being a human being. "

The Qiang slave was very happy after hearing the language of their Zhou soldiers, and communicated with them in Zhou language.

Yan country?

Ji Li was very puzzled. When they ruled Shendu before the Great Zhou Dynasty, they did establish a vassal state named Yan State in Shendu, but that Yan State was in the south of Zhou Yuan. How could this person come from the east?And the Yan country that was poisoned has been destroyed for hundreds of years!

Ji Li kept Xu Xiake by his side, and after a good communication with him, he finally realized that the other party came from the distant Central Plains, which was the hometown of their Zhou people's ancestors.

Only three months after returning to Zhouyuan, the Yalong Dynasty sent envoys to ask Dongbo Hou Jili to go to Jiqu City to attend Zanpu's funeral immediately.

"Father, Zanpu was shot and killed by the Qiang people, but you returned to Zhouyuan safe and sound. They Yalong people will not trust you. You may die during this trip." Ji Li's son Ji Chang reminded.

"Now is not the time to challenge them head-on, have you forgotten what happened to those princes who challenged Zanpu?" Ji Li shook his head and sighed: "Whether it is to kill me or not, for the sake of all Zhou people, I must go A trip to Jiqu City will dispel the doubts of the Yalong people, and let the Yalong people give priority to targeting other princes who have rebellious intentions."

After all, Ji Li introduced Xu Xiake to Ji Chang: "Xu Zi is the slave I brought back from Xiaduokang... um... talent, he knows a lot of advanced culture and technology from the Central Plains, and is very important for the development and growth of our Zhou clan." It's very important, you have to reuse it."

Because Xu Xiake is a very useful talent, Ji Li respectfully called Xu Xiake "Xu Zi", similar to "Confucius", "Lao Zi", "Zhuang Zi", "Grandson" and "Mo Zi", all belong to respectful titles.

After ordering the funeral in advance and handing over the power of the country to Ji Chang, Ji Li resolutely went to Jiqu City.

In the end, he was indeed killed by the Yalong people, who dug out his heart and sacrificed him as a sacrifice.

"Dong Bohou of the Zhou Kingdom, it was you who said you were willing to sacrifice your heart for us Zanpu, even if it was a sacrifice, you would have no complaints, now we will fulfill your wish."

The priests disemboweled Ji Li, made Ji Li's flesh and blood into meat sauce, and then gave it to Zhou Guoxin's Dongbo Hou Jichang to eat.

"This is a reward from Yalong, the great city, to your small state Zhou. It is the honor of every prince and noble to be a sacrifice. Only by using princes and nobles as sacrifices can the gods be moved better. You Zhou people should be grateful to us." Yalong The envoy of the dynasty came to Zhouyuan and said to Ji Chang arrogantly.

They are a race of gods, while Zhou people are just a race of mortals, so they should rule everything in the world.
