Chapter 437: The Remnant of Kunwu

The Kunwu clan, whose original surname was "Ji", lived in Kunwu (now Anyi, Shanxi) for generations, so he used the place name as his clan and was called "Kunwu clan".

When it comes to Kunwu clan, many people may not know much, but Kunwu clan has a merit and reputation that has been passed down through the ages.

It is said that when Dayu succeeded Shun as emperor, he divided the world into nine divisions, namely Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou, and Yongzhou. Since then, China is also known as "Jiuzhou".

Later, Yu collected copper from the world, cast nine tripods, and engraved foreign objects in the mountains and rivers of Jiuzhou on the nine tripods. One tripod symbolizes a state, and the nine tripods gathered in the capital, symbolizing the unification of the nine states. At the same time, the nine tripods can also be used to suppress the fortune of Jiuzhou.

At this point, the Nine Tripods became the most treasure of the country and were a symbol of the supreme imperial power. The so-called "those who get the Nine Tripods win the world" comes from this.

And this Nine Cauldron of King Yu was cast by the Kunwu clan, who was the best at refining weapons at that time.

During the entire Xia Dynasty's rule, the Kunwu clan was one of the five largest princes at that time, and they were also hard-core followers of the Xia Dynasty. When Shang Tang wanted to rebel against Si Lugui (Xia Jie), he was the first to eliminate Kunwu tribe.

After being exterminated by Shang Tang, the remaining Kunwu tribes fled to various places. One of them fled for several times and finally fled to Jizhou and was renamed the Yousu Tribe.

Although it is known that there is the Su tribe, the Su tribe has its origin, but its surname is not Su, but "Ji", because the actual controller of the Su tribe is the original successor of the Kunwu tribe.

For a long time, some Su tribes have been committed to "anti-Shang and resuming Xia", a counter-revolutionary activity that seems to have no future.

For this reason, the Su tribe has made more than ten generations of efforts to avoid releasing efforts, and the great cause of "resisting Shang and restoring Xia" has finally achieved phased results. Now, it seems that the time is ripe, so after careful planning, a series of conspiracies aimed at subverting the Shang Dynasty began.

The first step in this series of conspiracies was that the leader of the Su tribe, Hou Suhu, who was on the surface, rebelled!

At that time, the four major princes led 800 princes to Beijing to pay tribute. The defenses in various places were relatively empty. Su Hupu's rebellion was as powerful as a bamboo shoot, and he won consecutive battles.

The urgent documents were spread to Chaoge in the capital like snowflakes. Emperor Xin heard the revenge and his anger rose.

At this time, Wen Taishi went to the Beihai for more than a year. Although he won many battles, the seventy-two princes including Yuan Futong in Beihai had been planning for a long time. They were well-trained and had enough troops and enough food. They also had a mysterious force secretly used extraordinary means to help Yuan Futong and others. Even if Wen Zhong fought at a critical point, he could not achieve his full success.

Although Wen Zhong's cultivation is extraordinary, when he went down the mountain, Wen Zhong's master explained that he would not use the power of extraordinary people at will when dealing with ordinary things. In desperation, Wen Zhong had to send a message to the Jade Talisman and report the unknown forces in Beihai to his master, and waited for the instructions of the master before handling the matter.

Speaking of Wen Zhong’s sect, it is a great source of origin. It is established by Li Otakuan, the largest sect in the prehistoric world, the Jie Sect.

Wen Zhong’s teacher was the closed disciple of Otaku Li, the Great Loli of Jin Ling. Well, now, he should be called Jin Ling Holy Mother.

This time, Wen Zhong went down the mountain to assist the Shang Dynasty, but he was also ordered by his master.

Now, when you encounter a force that seems to be a non-mortal world participating in the struggles on earth, although this force has not taken action directly, Wen Zhong is still alert immediately. Knowing that there may be a conspiracy, Wen Zhong's first idea is naturally to report to his teacher, Holy Mother Jin Ling.

Wen Zhong’s original intention was to hope that the teacher would allow him to use immortal methods to wipe out the mysterious reactionary forces in one fell swoop.

However, after the news came out, the teacher, Holy Mother Jin Ling, quickly sent a reply. The content was very simple, with only one word, that is, "Wait".

Without any plans, Wen Zhong had to maintain an oppressive offensive against Yuan Futong's forces while preparing for a protracted battle, waiting for the result of a secret battle between his master and the mysterious force behind Yuan Futong.

So, the war in the North Sea was in a stalemate.

In Chaoge City, when he heard that the Su tribe in Jizhou was rebelling, Emperor Xin's first idea was naturally to send people to destroy the Su tribe.

However, now that the Grand Tutor has not returned to the North Sea, there is only another commander-level official left in the court, Huang Feihu, the King of Wucheng in Zhenguo.

But Huang Feihu still needs to take charge of Chaoge and intimidate the eight hundred princes from all directions, so he cannot easily go out.

In addition, Di Xin has not been in a good mood recently, and it seems that he always feels that there is a wave of evil fire that cannot be fully vented.

This feeling made Di Xin extremely unhappy.

So, in this thunderclap, Emperor Xin wanted to go out to fight in person and kill, so he ordered Yin Po, Chao Tian, ​​Lu Xiong and others to set up six divisions to prepare to go to war with Emperor Xin.

By the way, since he cut off the root of right and wrong and recovered from the shadow of injury, Emperor Xin was indeed diligent in politics, and it can be said that he had a bit of a wise ruler.

But Di Xin's temper gradually became capricious, and it felt like a woman had a few days a month.

Not to mention anything else, during this period, the guards, eunuchs, palace maids, imperial physicians, etc. of the inner court have been killed hundreds of times for no reason by Emperor Xin. Even Yin Poxie, the commander of the imperial guard who was originally favored by Emperor Xin, was sent from a distance to the border to guard the door.

Although Emperor Xin did not vent the inexplicable resentment on the court officials, the ministers were all frightened, fearing that one of them would be taken as the target of venting evil fire by Emperor Xin.

After dating in the officialdom for so many years, most of them have become first-class figures of old foxes. The ministers still know that men who have suffered disfigured are unreasonable to guess. If this disfigured person is an emperor, then those who are ministers will have to tie their tails to be obedient to the people.

When he heard that Emperor Xin said he wanted to command the emperor in person, the generals who were named and accompanied were all frightened.

With Your Majesty's current mentality, if you really go to Jizhou, you will probably have to go out of nowhere and drift with blood? Then, the imperial edict will come, and these leaders of your army will have to sacrifice their butcher knives and kill innocent people?

It is true that all of us are generals and we have always killed many people, but after all, we are not butchers! If this Majesty wants to kill civilians on a whim, then will we never follow it?

If you follow me, your conscience will not be able to pass; if you don’t follow me, you will be disrespectful to the order, which is a serious crime of beheading!

After thinking for a while, Lu Xiong and others felt that they could not be the disfigured man of Emperor Xin, who was mentally distorted, led the army to the war.

So after a brief discussion, Lu Xiong entered and said, "At this time, the four princes are all in the capital. One or two princes can be sent to war. In this way, he will not lose the power of the emperor, and his Majesty will not suffer the pain of the long journey and the rushing thousands of miles."

Although he was determined to go out and show his tyranny, Jizhou was still quite far from Chaoge. After all, he heard Lu Xiong's advice, Emperor Xin thought about it in his heart, and it seemed that this was the reason! So Emperor Xin then stopped his mind to command the emperor's personal expedition.

As for the candidates to go to the war, Emperor Xin's favorite minister Fei Zhong recommended the Beibo Hou Chonghouhu, because the Jizhou area was under the jurisdiction of Chonghouhu.

Lu Xiong thought again that this Beibo Hou Chonghouhu is not a good bird, he is a bandit bully who rapes and plunders all kinds of evil. If he really lets Chonghouhu go to Jizhou, he would probably be in ruins.

So Lu Xiong quickly recommended the seemingly benevolent and loyal Xibo Hou Jichang, for the simple reason, because this guy seemed to be a loyal minister, seemed to be a humble man, and his soldiers were also very brave.

Emperor Xin thought for a moment that the Beibo Hou Chonghou Hu was a bandit. He had a strong aura when fighting, but it was very intimidating.

As for the side of Xibo, although Ji Chang is still his uncle from the side of Tai Si, Emperor Xin knew that his cheap uncle had always been rebellious. Now that the Su tribe is rebelling, if he can take this opportunity to weaken Ji Chang's strength, wouldn't it be a killing two birds with one stone?

If he sent both of them to Jizhou, he could prevent Ji Chang from secretly using conspiracy; secondly, the two great princes would be enough to show his dignity; and, if the leaders of the two great princes went to conquer a small prince, even if the pig was the leader, he would not have defeated the war, right?

So Emperor Xin quickly made a decision and decided to let the Beibo Hou Chong Houhu and Xibo Hou Jichang go on an expedition together to attack Suhu, the Marquis of Jizhou.

As a hard-core rebel who was determined to fight against the Shang Dynasty, after several generations and hard-working for hundreds of years, Xibo Hou Jichang still knew about all the counter-revolutionaries in the world.

At least Ji Chang still knew that the Su tribe was originally a remnant of the previous dynasty, and the Xibo Marquis had long since secretly communicated with the Su tribe. This time, the Su tribe rebelled, and Ji Chang was involved in the planning. Therefore, Ji Chang naturally knew all the conspiracies.

At this moment, when he heard that Emperor Xin wanted to send troops to conquer Jizhou, Ji Chang was not surprised and was happy. After some discussions with his advisers, he and Chonghou Hu chose a day to raise an army and rushed to Jizhou.

The seemingly loyal and loyal Xibo Hou Jichang was actually a rebel. He was determined to rebel from the Shang Dynasty, so he naturally needed to weaken the Shang Dynasty and the other three towns of princes, while preserving his own strength.

So, after sending troops, Ji Chang's troops hid behind and walked slowly. They just waited for the peaches to ripen and then picked the fruits of victory.

On the other hand, Chonghouhu was a bandit, and naturally thought that others were probably similar to bandits.

Jizhou is relatively rich and is already under the command of the Beibo Hou. Chonghou Hu naturally regards it as his hunting ground and never wants others to come in and rob.

So, after igniting the people, Chonghouhu was moving all the way and heading straight for Jizhou.

Wishes are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

He was determined to rob Jizhou. Beibo Hou Chonghou Hu rushed outside Jizhou. Pu Yi confronted Jizhou, but he was defeated and returned.

It turns out that in this era, the routine of two armies confronting each other is very simple, that is, a general will first fight one by one, and the general will win and lose, and then the winner will be able to take advantage of the situation and move the army up. Generally speaking, the military power value of the general basically determines the victory or defeat of both sides.

Although Jizhou was a rebel and did not take the title of righteousness, Su Quanzhong, the son of Hou Suhu of Jizhou, was a brave general. Conservatively estimated that his military power had reached 90.

Although the generals under Chonghouhu were also very brave, the one with the highest military power was only just eighty.

Under the confrontation of the two armies, Su Quanzhong killed all directions and killed the generals of Chonghou Hu, who were so desperate that they ran away. So, in the first battle, Jizhou won a great victory.

Then, Jizhou took advantage of the night to steal the camp and once again killed the unprepared Beibo Hou Chonghouhu's army and fled in panic.

Just when Chonghouhu's troops were desperate, Chonghouhu's younger brother, Caozhou Hou Chong Heihu, led the three thousand flying tiger army to help.

The so-called dragon gives birth to nine sons, each of which is different.

Although they were born from a mother, Chongheihu and Chonghouhu had very different personalities.

Chonghouhu is rude and barbaric, bloodthirsty and killing, like a bandit wearing an official robe.

But Chonghouhu's younger brother Chongheihu, although he is also rough, he is quite polite and a passionate man.

Moreover, Chongheihu was lucky. When he was a child, he received guidance from a passerby for three days and taught some simple Qi training techniques. Although it was not considered profound, Chongheihu's martial arts value soared, and now he has reached a level close to 90.

What's even more amazing is that the strange man also gave Chong Heihu a magic weapon, the Iron-mouthed Divine Eagle.

This so-called Iron-mouthed Eagle actually seals the soul of a spirit beast Iron-mouthed Eagle into a gourd. After a simplest blood sacrifice, you can control the gourd and release the Iron-mouthed Eagle in it to hurt people.

This magic weapon can even be said to be inexperienced in the eyes of practitioners, but in the eyes of ordinary annoying, it is undoubtedly a very mysterious and magical existence.

Although he despised his brother Chonghouhu's character very much, he was born with Chonghouhu's lineage. After all, he heard that his brother was defeated, Chongheihu immediately sent troops to help.

After the two brothers joined forces, they rushed to the city of Jizhou again.

When the two armies were facing each other, Chong Heihu sneaked into attack with the Iron-mouthed Eagle and pecked the eyes of Su Quanzhong's mount. Su Quanzhong accidentally fell off his horse and was captured alive by Chong Heihu.

In that case, the bravest general in Jizhou City, his son Su Quanzhong was captured, and Hou Suhu of Jizhou was panicked.

After thinking for a while, Su Hu felt that once the city was broken, his family would be unlikely to be spared, so he thought of killing all his wife and children first, and then committing suicide, so as not to suffer the humiliation of the country and the genocide.

Just as Su Hu ordered the generals to break up, go back to their own houses, and find their mothers, the appearance of a grain escort officer named Zheng Lun changed the fate of Su Hu and the entire Shang Dynasty.

Zheng Lun is also a very strange master. Since he was a child, he has been begging the master of the eight treasures of the cloud light cave of Du'er, Du'er, since he was a child, and has learned the method of absorbing people's souls in the orifices.

Although this magic is a crooked path and can be used to bully ordinary people, it has extraordinary effects.

Hearing that his boss Su Hu was about to part his luggage and parted in the family, Zheng Lun stopped doing it and led three thousand crow soldiers to kill him.

When Chongheihu heard someone calling out, he immediately led his troops out to meet the enemy.

When two strange people meet, they will be fighting.

The two of them first competed with weapons, but the result was similar. Later, Zheng Lun was quick and took the lead in releasing his two energy from his body.

But when he heard a "humph" sound, poor Chong Heihu, before he could release the iron-mouthed eagle, he felt dizzy and fell off his horse and was captured alive by Zheng Lun.

The battle between the two armies had just finished. On that side, Jichang, the Xibo Hou, who marched at the speed of a snail, finally climbed to the city of Jizhou.
