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

Chapter 546

Yan Guo 340 One Summer (551 Years)
"My lord, the army is ready, and the food and grass are sufficient. There are a large number of clan members guarding the rear, and the surrounding princes have also sent troops to support us. The nobles of Yalong are ready to welcome us. The time has come, so don't hesitate any longer!"

Jiang Ziya is now 76 years old, and he is very old. He is a veteran of the state of Zhou, and he is also Ji Chang's adviser to Ji Fa.

"I understand, Shangfu!" Ji Fa was also very excited. Since the ancestors migrated here, the Zhou people have endured humiliation and developed in Zhouyuan for more than 100 years. In order to please the Yalong people, the Zhou people bowed their knees and gave the most beautiful women in the clan to the Yalong nobles, just to make friends.

For the sake of victory, all sacrifices are worthwhile. Over the past 100 years, the men of Zhou's clan have become the sacrifices of the Yalong people, and the women have become the playthings of the Yalong people. It is time to end all this.

"Our state of Zhou has a total population of 4, 80 slaves, 1 young men, and 5000 warriors."

"Add to that the 72 men provided by the 5000 princely allies, and we have 1 men to fight."

"Along the way, some of the nobles of Yalong will support us, while most of them will remain neutral and wait and see. They will help whoever wins. Therefore, there will not be too many obstacles on our way to march. We only need to defeat the defenders of Jiqu City."

Jiang Ziya was very optimistic and persuaded Ji Fa to move forward bravely.

For more than 20 years, Ji Fa did not do nothing, but continued the national policy of the Jichang period. While continuing to profess his vassal to Yalong, he kept attacking those princes who were still loyal to the Yalong Dynasty.

Try to cut off Zamp's wings as much as possible before the final battle, so as to increase the winning rate for the future final battle.

This effect is very good. There are too many people who oppose Zanpu. He needs to focus his energy on suppressing those princes who rebelled on the surface, rather than guarding against the princes who rebelled secretly, Zhou Guo.

"The notice goes on. During the march, civilians can be robbed, but Yalong nobles are not allowed to be looted, let alone hurt them. We will give preferential treatment to all Yalong nobles and even clans who surrender. Their privileges will be preserved. They were nobles before, and they will still be nobles after surrender."

"However, if there are Yalong nobles who dare to stop our king's teacher on the march, then crush them, occupy his cities, carve up his slaves, kill his children, and enjoy his women."

"Everyone must obey Gu's orders, and must not act without authorization, must not underestimate the enemy, and must not be timid and fearful of the enemy."

"Those who disobey the military order will be severely punished!"

"Those who have made military exploits will be rewarded with fiefs, women, slaves, and titles. For the glory and wealth of future generations, please soldiers work hard, even if they sacrifice their lives!"

"Don't be afraid of death, your children will be taken care of by orphans, and your names will go down in history!"

Following Ji Fa's order, the [-] troops gathered in Zhouyuan began to move out, heading towards the west in a mighty manner.

In Central China, there was the survivor of Qin Guofen VI, in Liaodong there was the survivor of Yan Guofen IX, and on the snow-covered plateau, Zhou Guo, a branch of the royal family, also had survivors of Fen IV.

There is no such thing as good luck and stealing a home. It is just an opportunity that has been waiting for more than 100 years of humiliation and humiliation.

This time Ji sent out the expedition, although his real purpose was to destroy the Yalong Dynasty and make the Zhou people the new masters of the snowy plateau.

But it must not be said that to the outside world. The outside world is to help the nobles of Yalong eliminate the tyrant and support a new wise king to ascend the throne.

Only in this way can the resistance of the Yalong people be reduced.

When Yan was troubled by domestic and foreign troubles, Yan Ji chose to compromise with the nobles and guilds, so that the monarch, nobles, and guilds could unite and unite with the outside world, and finally the sustainable development of Yan was achieved.

However, when the Yalong Dynasty was facing internal and external troubles, Zanpu chose to fight to the death with his nobles.

Compromise is not shameful. Necessary compromise is also a direction of development. It seems to have a backbone to be tough on opponents, but it may not lead to good results.

The current situation of the Yalong Dynasty is not much different from the situation of the Yan Kingdom a few years ago, but the handling methods are different, and the results will naturally be different.

Zanpu wanted to centralize all the power, eat the whole cake all by himself, and create the supreme kingship, but eventually all the relatives deserted.

Zhou Guo did the opposite. As long as he was not against Zhou Guo, Zhou Guo was willing to cooperate with him, recognize his privileges and status, and give him full preferential treatment. I will not deprive you of your privileges, and you should not fight against me. Let's eat cake and enjoy happiness together.

That is, the joy of being alone is not as good as the joy of others. Those who have gained the Tao will be helped more, but those who have lost the Tao will be helped less.

This [Tao], in this sentence, can be understood as a reasonable distribution relationship in line with the current reality.

[Benevolence] derived from [Tao] can also be understood as a reasonable distribution relationship.

The Zhou people's army was unimpeded. Along the way, most of the Yalong nobles remained neutral, and a small number of Yalong nobles offered to provide livestock and soldiers for the Zhou people. Only a very few Yalong nobles chose to stop the Zhou army, but they were soon crushed to pieces because they were outnumbered.

At night, the Zhou army set up camp on the way, and there was a meteor passing by, and the Zhou soldiers were panicked.

Because in Zhou people's conception, shooting stars represent disasters, and if a shooting star is aimed at you, it means that you are about to face disaster.

Reminiscent of the current rebellion, people in Zhou retreated in their hearts, thinking that this rebellion might fail, and there would be no redemption from then on.

Even Ji Fa himself had doubts in his heart and wanted to withdraw his troops and wait until the next time to rebel.

At the critical moment, Jiang Ziya dissuaded him: "Meteors are God's business, and the destruction of the Yalong Dynasty is a matter of the world. God can't control the world. Now the opportunity to destroy the Yalong people is in front of us, but the king will miss the opportunity because of a meteor."

"Please don't hesitate, Your Majesty!"

Under Jiang Ziya's persuasion, Ji Fa calmed down, and then comforted the soldiers in the barracks.

More than ten days later, when the Zhou people were about to arrive in Jiqu City, Zanpu realized that he had no soldiers to use.

The nobles refused to support him, ordinary Yalong citizens (countrymen) also hated him as a dictator, and most of the slaves didn't know what to do, they didn't care who lost or won.

In a hurry, Zanpu incorporated the [-] slaves who built the palace into the army, distributed them weapons, and wanted to rely on these inexperienced slaves to resist the Zhou people.

"The slaves are not willing to fight to the death. Their morale is low. As long as the king's army attacks their central army, the slaves who lost their command will inevitably disperse."

Jiang Ziya once again persuaded Ji Fa to attack the enemy's central army directly, and stop playing those messy tricks, what if it fails.

There is a group of slaves on the opposite side, there is nothing to be afraid of, just attack directly, don't waste any more time, if those Yalong nobles suddenly change their minds to support their Zanpu during this period, the attack of the Zhou people will be over.

Rumble!
"kill!"

Zhou's army rushed directly to Zanpu's Chinese army, killing Zanpu's Chinese army and retreating steadily.

Seeing that the Zhou people had the upper hand, the rest of the princes rushed into the battlefield to help the Zhou people.

Although they supported Zhou people on the surface before, in fact, they still wanted to gain benefits secretly.

They will help whoever wins!
If Zanpu had the upper hand on the battlefield, these princes who were allied with the Zhou people would stab the Zhou people back without hesitation.

But because the Zhou people had the upper hand, the princes chose to help the Zhou people completely defeat Zanpu.

Zanpu's Chinese army was retreating steadily. Seeing their master retreating, the other slaves lost their will to fight instantly, dropped their weapons and fled in all directions. Some slaves chose to help the Zhou army attack Zanpu in an attempt to be accepted by their new masters in the future.
The battle ended soon, and Zhou Ren defeated Zanpu by virtue of his strong fighting power.

Zanpu fled back to the palace in a hurry, and had no choice but to set himself on fire as a sacrifice in despair.

He has always been against the gods, but before he died, he tried to get the forgiveness of the gods through self-sacrifice, hoping that the gods would accept him in the world of the dead, and curse those Zhou people who took him away from him.

"They sacrificed our ancestors, and I want people to sacrifice them!"

The victorious Ji Fa started revenge, massacred wantonly in the city, and sacrificed the only Yalong survivors who were still loyal to Zanpu as sacrifices.

Not only that, he also asked the disciples of the clan of the Great Zhou to take their troops to spread the power of the Great Zhou, and asked those princes and nobles who remained neutral to surrender to the Zhou people, otherwise they would attack the city and wipe out the clan.

In order to defeat Zanpu before, Ji Fa turned a blind eye to these neutral people, because these people still have the value of united front.

Now that Zanpu has perished, these neutrals have no united front value, and it is time to force them to surrender to Dazhou.

Ji Fa adopted the method of dividing and wooing the Yalong survivors. For those Yalong survivors who opposed the Zhou people, even if they chased them to the ends of the earth, they would be wiped out. For those Yalong survivors who remained neutral, they would attack their power and make them lose their interests.

Ji Fa fulfilled his previous promise. Among the canonized princes, there are children of his own clan, some soldiers who have made military exploits, some princes who take the initiative to seek refuge, and some Yalong nobles who will lead the way.

Only those who are willing can gain, because they are willing to grant titles, let others have privileges, and let others benefit, so they can get the support of most people.

This is "benevolence", letting others benefit is "benevolence", and wanting to monopolize benefits is "not benevolence".

Zhou won the world because of benevolence!
