Chapter 5543 The main force heading westward and the divine soldiers descend
The black robe closed his eyes slightly and murmured the oath of soup: "The king said: "Come, ladies and gentlemen, please listen to me. If you dare to act in disorder, you will be guilty of many crimes. Please protect me." Hearing the words of the women, the Xia family is guilty. I fear God and dare not be unjust. I have committed many crimes this summer, and God has ordered me to kill him. Now there are many women, and the woman said: "My king does not care about us, and he neglects my stinginess and cuts off the government." He said: "If you are guilty, what can you do?" The king of Xia stopped all the forces and led the army to seize the kingdom of Xia. Everyone was lazy and discordant, and said: "When will we die on this day? Both I and my daughter will die!" Xia Deruozi, now I am I must go. I will punish a man by inflicting heaven's punishment on his daughter. If she does not believe her, I will not break my promise. If she does not obey the oath, I will kill her and there will be no pardon."
When he said the last sentence, Heipao opened his eyes and said: "Judging from this oath, when Cheng Tang swore to conquer Xia, his subordinates, or allies, were not of the same mind. Many people still think why Why don't you let them go back to farming and produce, and don't show sympathy for their feelings, but ask them to continue fighting? Or some people don't think Xia Jie is guilty, and think it's just Cheng Tang who wants to seize the world because of his personal ambition, but What good will this do to these princes and soldiers?"
Doupeng smiled slightly: "So Cheng Tang is a leader who is very good at capturing the psychology of his subordinates, and he is also an excellent speaker. He did not say that he wanted to be the master of the world, but that Xia Jie was cruel and unkind and angered I have lost sight of the gods and gods in heaven and my ancestors, so I ordered Tang to punish Xia Jie for his sins. This is God’s will, not his idea, and I dare not disobey him.”
"Next, he listed many of Xia Jie's crimes, which were not recorded in Tang's oath, but we can imagine that when Cheng Tang gave his speech at that time, he must have described Xia Jie as warlike, dissolute, fond of the new and disgusted with the old, and even Even he himself was once captured and imprisoned in Xiatai. The princes in the world, whether they were Shang, Kunwu, or Youmin, had been loyal to the Xia Dynasty for hundreds of years, even after Taikang lost the country. The princes who did not care about the survival of their tribes and helped the Xia Dynasty successfully restore the country were still inevitably attacked by Xia Jie, or even destroyed. Just like the Kunwu tribe that was wiped out today. Without them, the Xia Dynasty would have perished long ago. At the hands of Yi and Han Yun, even the Kunwu clan was forced into a tax rebellion by Xia Jie's tyranny. Can your other tribes escape this disaster? Are you stronger than the Kunwu clan, or are you more connected than them? How about closer?"
"These words made the leaders and warriors of each tribe change their expressions. Many of the masters of the princes in the world, or the masters of the Nine Barbarians, were conquered by the kings of the Xia Dynasty who relied on forming cliques and joining the princes' masters. After being forced to surrender, it can be said that they hated and feared Xia Jie. The reason why they said they were anxious to go home and engage in farming was actually because they were not sure that Shang State could win, and they were afraid that they would follow Shang Tang in rebellion, in case everything went wrong. , turning back will lead to Xia Jie’s crazy revenge, I just want to take the opportunity to withdraw and wait and see the outcome of the Shang-Xia war."
"But by giving Cheng Tang such a threat, he has actually told them that there is no possibility of sitting on the fence. They must either join Xia Jie's side and fight me, or follow me to attack Xia Jie now. There is no middle way, even if the two sides do not help each other. , after returning, the victorious side will be regarded as the other camp, and will inevitably be conquered and attacked. Xia Jie is unethical, and even the people of the Xia tribe said they are willing to die with Xia Jie. The reason why we can only lead the troops to attack the Kunwu clan is to let Cheng Tanglai join the troops of the princes to attack the Kunwu clan. If you give your name and weapons to others, you will abandon your country and you will not get the blessings of the gods and gods."
"Cheng Tang's impassioned speech dispelled the doubts of the princes present at the meeting. Moreover, in the battle to eliminate the Kunwu clan, everyone also saw the powerful strength of the Shang army and Cheng Tang's excellent military command.
The Kunwu clan, whose ability has become so powerful in the Central Plains that it can even be called the overlord for hundreds of years, has become stronger in less than half a year.
The country was destroyed and the family was destroyed. This also deeply shocked the monarchs of various countries. If you don't listen to Chengtang at this time, the last two naked warnings are that if you don't listen to my Chengtang order, then
I will never let you go, which means I am afraid that whoever does not follow and send troops will be attacked immediately by Chengtang."
"The princes participating in the meeting have no collusion in private. No one can be the opponent of the Shang army. Moreover, the terrible methods of the Shang Dynasty, especially the large-scale and cruel practice of human sacrifice when annihilating the Yi tribe, have shocked the world.
As we all know, although the Shang Kingdom has never had large-scale human sacrifices like that in the past few hundred years, no one can guarantee whether Chengtang will do it for
After leaving the army, this happened again, so these hundreds of princes swore to join the merchant army alliance to attack Xia Jie. But there is one thing that the ancestors and disciples don't know, and that is why Chengtang's troops did not send troops from the Central Plains and directly captured Zhenxun.
, then go north across the Yellow River to take Anyi directly, but instead of making a large circle and entering Guanzhong, then cross the Yellow River east to attack Anyi?"
The ancestor smiled slightly and said: "Venerable Doupeng said it very well. Chengtang chose an unexpected roundabout route in the final battle to extinguish Xia, but this was also a decision after careful consideration. The Shang Army at that time
, among the more than 20,000 princes' coalition forces that attacked and destroyed the Kunwu clan, they selected 70 chariots and elite warriors who dared to die.
Six thousand people bypassed the large city of Zhenxun in the Central Plains, which was the former capital of Shi Meixi and the main force of the Xia Dynasty, quietly marched westward, and entered the land of Yongzhou in Guanzhong. Here, they were unjustly killed by Xia Jie
With the help of the tribe of Guan Longfeng, the great doctor, and the Youxin tribe where Yi Yin was born, the problem of military supplies and fodder was solved."
"The main force of the Xia Dynasty itself is divided into two groups. One is the garrison in the old capital of Zhenxun in the Central Plains, which is used to stabilize the Central Plains. The other is in Bingzhou and Anyi, including Jinyang to the north.
The garrison troops from various places in Huozhou Canyon and Taihang in the east are to defend
The Di people and Hulu armies in the north had very little defense against the Yellow River line to the west and the Guanzhong area, because they thought they had natural dangers from the Yellow River, and Guanzhong was a relatively desolate place at the time, with no major threats, so it became a
A nearly undefended area."
"Chengtang and Yi Yin saw through this, so they quietly moved their main force westward, and then suddenly crossed the river eastward to take Anyi directly. At that time, Xia Jie thought that the main force of the Shang army was besieging Chenxun. In a hurry,
They had just sent the defenders of Anyi to Zhenxun to help defend, but they didn't expect that just a few days after the army left, the merchant army fell from the sky and appeared directly.
In the Mingtiao area outside Anyi City, Xia Jie could only take the defenders of Anyi and fight the Shang army in Mingtiao. As a result, the morale of the Xia army was low and the outnumbered Xia army was severely defeated by the Shang army.
Xia Jie did not even dare to return to Anyi City, so he had to flee all the way to the east, to the only Sanyi tribe in the east that was still loyal to him." (End of this chapter)
