Chapter 130 The Door of Destiny Begins to Turn
The fog was heavy and hazy, and in the chaos, no one knew where the universe was. Ji Zhao's sleep was getting deeper and deeper, but his power was also getting stronger and stronger, and a faint light was lingering.
As his mission was approaching its first millennium of completion, incredible changes gradually began to appear, and a purple aura emanated from an unknown source.
Purple Qi is supreme and noble. A dynasty favored by Purple Qi will produce wise rulers from generation to generation. Compared with the worst dynasties in the world, if a country produces wise rulers from generation to generation, it is the blessing of God.
This purple air should have fallen directly to the human world, but Ji Zhao was between heaven and man, so naturally he had to report it first.
Then the purple air went straight towards Ji Zhao, conveying an indifferent and emotionless message.
"Bang Zhou was the end of the ancient era; Qin and Han were the beginning of the emperor era. If it is changed, unpredictable changes will occur. You are the most noble and noble, and I believe that the disturbances in the mortal world cannot shake your will."
It was an emotionless purple air, and Ji Zhao, who was sleeping, naturally would not pay any attention to it.
A confused soul walked out, expressionless, with eyes that shone completely golden, and made a mechanical voice, "I know, of course, go!"
Following the sound of Ji Zhao's split soul, the purple air directly dissipated into the void space and began to search for the person who was ordered according to the underlying logic.
Two heavenly-grade props appeared in the hands of the split soul. His eyes fell on the props. With Ji Zhao's current strength, he already knew the secret of the heavenly-grade props.
The core of the Heaven Grade Items is the complete purple energy, which is why the Heaven Grade Items can change one's destiny.
There is purple energy in the Earth-level, Profound-level, and Yellow-level props. Theoretically speaking, as long as the props are used more, the world line will definitely deviate towards the unknown.
The existence of the Luo family is also an anchor point of deviation. As descendants of Ji Zhao, as long as the Luo family still exists in the world, every move will have an irreversible impact on the future of the world.
The Qin State completely accepted the order, and Ji Zhao agreed.
But it doesn't mean that Qin will definitely gain control of the world. If other countries can produce seven or eight wise rulers in succession without relying on the favor of heaven, then it will be no problem to defeat Qin.
This is the value of Ji Zhao's existence. This is a world where everything is predetermined, but Ji Zhao's existence is a variable. He is hope, a glimmer of hope for all living beings to resist fate.
As for whether or not one can seize this glimmer of hope, that has nothing to do with Ji Zhao; it depends on one's personal efforts.
…
The Zhou Dynasty lasted eight hundred and fifty years!
In the most core and important heart of the Chinese nation, a war that attracted the attention of the whole world was taking place, the war between the Zhou royal family and the Kingdom of Han.
After the death of Wei Houqing, Wei wanted to strategically shrink, make friends with Han and Zhao, and maintain the Three Jins alliance, so the three countries exchanged land.
Wei State exchanged the land located between the four states of Han, Zhao, Zhou and Luo to Han State. Han State wanted this enclave of Wei State because it had its eyes on the land that Wang Ji obtained from Zheng State.
However, he did not have the strength to directly attack the Zhou emperor.
Although Zhao and Wei were allies, if Han wanted to take direct action against the Zhou emperor, Zhao and Wei would definitely join forces with the royal family to divide Han in the name of serving the king.
In order to achieve his goal, Marquis Han staged and acted in a play. He had long known that the current emperor was obsessed with restoring the prestige of the royal family, so he spent a large sum of money to bribe the emperor's ministers and induce the emperor to take action.
“Your Majesty, the land of Wei is divided into three parts, so although Wei is powerful, it also has many enemies.
Now that Wei and Han have switched places, although Wei's land has become smaller, its strength has increased.
On the surface, Han and Wei were allies, but there were many conflicts between them secretly. Why should Han help Wei to strengthen its strength?
Is it really because of the friendship between allies?
The purpose of Korea's relocation is to seize the land of the king's capital!"
The emperor was not afraid, but laughed out loud, saying, "The Marquis of Han wants to seize my land. This is really ridiculous.
Whether in terms of territory or population, South Korea is inferior to the royal family. Does South Korea think that it is a great country like Qi, Qin and Chu?
I will tell Luo Hou about this matter and let Luo Guo record it in the "Humorous Collection". Half of the "Humorous Collection" will be written by Song people, and the other half will be filled in by Han Guo. "
"Your Majesty, after the Han Kingdom changed its location, it occupied almost all the passes and cities that were used to attack Luoyi and Zheng.
When South Korea sent troops to the royal capital, the road ahead was completely smooth. Isn't this a cause for concern?
You have always wanted to attack South Korea, but you just had no reason to do so. Now South Korea is in a dominant position and its troops are heading straight for the throat of the royal capital. Is this the act of a loyal minister?"
After being emphasized again, Emperor Ni finally took it seriously and when he looked at the geomancy map, he found that it was indeed true.
He immediately said angrily: "Han Hou is really ambitious.
I was just worried that I couldn't find a reason to deal with him, and now this thing is delivered right to my door.
Immediately issue an order to South Korea, demanding that it surrender the three strategic passes, otherwise it will be considered as treason and I will personally lead the army to conquer it.
The emperor's six armies have not appeared before the nations for hundreds of years. It is time to let the world know about the existence of the Zhou royal family."
The minister who received a large sum of money smiled. He himself did not know which country had asked him to instigate the emperor to fight against South Korea.
But I think it is nothing more than Wei, Zhao or Chu.
But this is not important in the first place. It’s fine that the royal family couldn’t defeat Chu and Wei, but how could they lose by defeating a small country like Han?
It can not only satisfy the emperor's wish to expand the territory, but also make some money for himself. Naturally, he has to do such a perfect thing.
The royal family's brazen military action shocked nations all over the world, just like a centuries-old statue suddenly coming to life and telling you that he is actually a living person.
Judging from the territory alone, the Zhou royal family's strength on paper was not weak, but the power that the Zhou royal family, which maintained the oldest feudal system, could mobilize was limited.
In contrast, after the reform, South Korea appointed a large number of capable officials. The power of the South Korean monarch was enormous and he was able to fully mobilize domestic resources. South Korea also had strong bows and crossbows.
In the past, 30,000 Wei Wuzu soldiers defeated the 300,000-strong Chu army. The Zhou royal family was not as good as the Chu State. At least the Chu State's soldiers had experienced wars, while the Zhou royal family's soldiers were all new recruits who had never fought in a war.
The two sides confronted each other at Hulao Pass, which was in the hands of South Korea. With this pass, the entire Zheng area was under the surveillance of South Korea.
At Hulao Pass, the Marquis of Han looked at the Zhou royal army with its chaotic banners and couldn't help laughing: "Prime Minister Shen, among all the countries, the only country with such complicated banners is probably Chu."
Han Xiang said with a smile: "Since the reform of Wei, even big countries like Qin and Chu have been defeated by Wei. Now that the reform of Han is basically completed, how can the Zhou royal family be your opponent?
By defeating the Zhou royal family, taking the Zheng plain, and then building water conservancy projects and developing production, the State of Han would be able to completely dominate the world.
In fact, we have to thank Qin and Chu, otherwise with Luo State by our side, it would be impossible to seize the royal land."
As they spoke, the king and his ministers of Han all burst into laughter, not taking the Zhou emperor seriously at all, because the events that had happened in recent years had made them realize too clearly how huge the difference in military strength was between countries that had undergone reforms and those that had not.
All countries that have undergone political reforms basically started with the reorganization of the military. They were able to issue orders from a single source and coordinate logistics in a unified manner, completely eliminating the phenomenon of nobles contributing money to collect food and fodder.
The Zhou royal army was composed of the feudal lords recruited by the Zhou emperor from the royal capital, and then the feudal lords each led their troops to fight, and had to bring their own food and fodder, which was really too backward.
Under such circumstances, even though the royal army had more troops, the outcome they faced against the South Korean army could only be described as horrific.
At Hulao Pass, less than an hour after the battle began, the disorganized royal army completely collapsed and fled in all directions, shouting.
Under the Korean army's attack, the ground was littered with corpses of royal soldiers who died at the hands of Korea's powerful bows and crossbows. Armor and arrows stuck in the armor were flying everywhere, and blood flowed down the arrows, forming small blood pits on the ground.
The elite troops of the Han army, led by a fierce general, charged directly towards the banner of the royal army. Then the first strange thing in more than 800 years happened: the Emperor of Zhou was actually captured!
Upon hearing the news, Marquis Han was both surprised and doubtful. He didn't know how to treat the Emperor of Zhou. Killing him was certainly not an option. Wouldn't it be crazy to kill the king in broad daylight?
Han Xiang said happily: "Your Majesty, this is great joy!
With the emperor in his hands, how could he not cede land to South Korea?
After the land was divided, he was released back to Luoyi and continued to be the emperor."
Han Hou thought about it and realized that this was the only solution, so he drove his chariot to the somewhat embarrassed Zhou Emperor, held his hand and cried, "Your Majesty, you were bewitched by the treacherous ministers and came to attack me, which ultimately caused countless deaths and injuries. This is such a sad thing."
Emperor Zhou nodded quickly and said, "What Marquis Han said is correct. It is because of the treacherous ministers who deceived me that I and you are fighting today. I really regret it. If I could return to Luoyi, I would definitely kill the treacherous ministers and send them to your kingdom, Marquis Han, to show my sincerity."
Seeing that the Zhou emperor had a very good attitude, the Marquis of Han tactfully proposed to cede land. The Zhou emperor was somewhat reluctant, after all, the Marquis of Han had a big appetite.
When the Marquis of Han saw that the King of Zhou did not agree, he turned to ask: "Your Majesty, how heavy is your crown with twelve tassels? I believe that the princes of the world are very curious. I am honored to meet you and would like to try the crown with twelve tassels. Can you agree to my request?"
The emperor was shocked. How was this different from when Xiong Dun challenged him for the throne in the past?
————
In the autumn of the fifth year of the king's reign, the king attacked Han. The Marquis of Han resisted him and they fought at Hulao.
The Han army attacked and the royal army was defeated.
The Marquis of Han said: How heavy is the crown?
The king said: The weight of the crown is as heavy as nine tripods.
The Marquis of Han said nothing more.
The reason why they chose South Korea to do this is because they have to be called Han. They are really implicated, hahahaha
