Dou Peng frowned: "Has Wu Geng never thought clearly that with the strength of the Shang Dynasty, as long as he was willing to work together for the country, the Zhou people would not be able to win. If he made contributions on the battlefield, King Zhou could only fulfill his promise and let him take office, otherwise he would declare war on all conservative nobles. King Zhou could not afford this risk. After leaving the Zhenren priest, the gods were furious, and he could not keep the throne."
The ancestor sighed: "It is said that later, Wu Geng and Ji Zi said when talking about this matter that the Shang Dynasty had been victorious for six hundred years since its founding, but what was the result? More and more victories and more enemies. I used to think that if I defeated the Guifang, I could have eternal peace, but over the past two hundred years, I was trapped in endless wars. I used to think that the Huaiyi Rebellion could be resolved by marrying the wife, but soon Peng and Wei rebelled again, destroyed Peng and Wei, and Xuanyi and Huaiyi tribes continued to rebel. When will this war end?"
"Wu Geng continued to say that only by using the Zhou people's methods and combining benevolence and righteousness with sacrifices to ancestors can this problem be solved. This requires first uniting and consolidating his own tribe members, rather than endlessly giving in to outsiders. Bigan actually wanted to implement the Zhou people's style, but King Zhou was unwilling. He was unwilling to let his ancestors and let the gods press on his head, but ignored his throne. The power all comes from the inheritance of his ancestors. Without ancestors and gods, what is he? How noble can he be compared to ordinary people around him, or even slaves?"
Hei Rou said thoughtfully: "Wu Geng's statement is not bad. The position of the emperor comes from the inheritance of his father and ancestors, so that the first emperor was ordered by heaven. This is the divine authority of the monarchy since the Zhou Li Confucianism and the theoretical basis for ancestor sacrifices. As the prince of Shang Kingdom, it is not easy to realize and accept this. However, can't he have a good chat with King Zhou?"
The ancestor shook his head: "King Zhou no longer wants to be the king of the world, and be controlled by his ancestors and gods. The more he contacted the Evil Heaven Emperor, the more he felt that he could become a god directly in his body, with supreme power and eternal life, and no longer had to consider who he was in. And if he followed the traditional set of Shang Dynasty, he would be controlled by his ancestors and ghosts and gods during his lifetime, and after his death, he would have to sacrifice a large number of human animals to ascend to heaven and become a god. If the ceremony failed, he would not become an ancestor in heaven and dissipate between heaven and earth like ordinary people. This was something that King Zhou could not accept, because he offended the priests and nobles, because he was afraid that these people would take revenge in the future and deliberately let the ceremony of ascension to the gods fail and let him die."
Dou Peng curled his lips: "It turns out that the kings of the Shang Dynasty, who have become ancestors, have to go through this similar ritual of our Heavenly Dao Alliance to succeed. No wonder King Zhou resisted the way of gods and demons in the world and intervened in human life so much. In fact, it is also for himself. If he becomes the supreme master, immortal and rule the world forever, then naturally he does not want all kinds of gods and ancestors to control himself. These people are extremely smart, but they are too selfish. In the end, because of such internal struggle, the country is destroyed, the family is destroyed, and the family is destroyed, and who will eventually get the benefits?"
Hei Rou nodded: "The sinisterness of human hearts, the complexity of human nature, and the depravity in the face of power are really obvious in the late Shang Dynasty. However, Wu Geng has made a choice until now. He did not join any party, but instead made a practical point of view, allowing King Zhou's troops to fight with the Zhou army, and allowing Emperor Evil Heaven to be besieged by a large number of righteous immortals. However, King Zhou now divides his troops and resists the attacks of Zhou Gong and Zhao Gong's troops on both sides of the Zhou army. Can he stop it?"
The ancestor nodded and said, "The situation is not as pessimistic as you imagined. The Black Robe Venerable. After all, King Zhou's Central Army and his royal division troops are also elite troops that have been fighting all over the world for many years and swept across the four barbarians. At this moment, there are a large number of chariots. Although the number is less than half of the opposite side, relying on the momentum of active attack, especially the masks worn by many Shang army soldiers, they are all peeled off the faces of the enemy's faces in previous battles. In addition to the bronze masks, they are also covered with blood before the battle. They look like ferocious and evil spirits in the underworld. They really make some soldiers and horses of the princes and Fang Kingdoms in the two wings of the Zhou army frightened and even want to escape from the battlefield."
"However, those mediocre countries, Peng, Wei, and some Western Qiang countries that captured countless tribes of the Shang Dynasty for sacrifice. Their soldiers saw the human skin masks on the faces of these Shang soldiers, but were very sad and angry, as if those masks were stripped from their relatives and ancestors. These people themselves had blood feuds for thousands of years. Once they saw this situation, they were even blinded by hatred and anger, no longer maintained their formation, and regardless of their own safety, they simply rushed directly to the two wing troops of the Shang army."
"Their chariots are no longer intersecting with the enemy chariots, fighting back and forth, fighting one round after another. Their infantry no longer maintains the front line and maintains the line, and fights against the enemy with long spears and shields. The troops of Yongguo, Pengguo, Weiguo, and Baguo rushed directly to the Shang army's chariots, without asking whether they could survive or not, their infantry dispersed their formations, just like evil people came to them, and rushed straight towards the opponent's big shield and long spear. They would rather stab countless blood holes by themselves than to break the shield formation in front of them, so as to open a bloody path to enter the enemy formation for their subsequent companions."
"Even, they used small throwing poles to blast their soldiers directly into the opponent's formation. As long as they were not killed in the air or were killed by the opponent's spear when they first landed, they could fight in the enemy's formation, causing chaos. With such a fearless suicide charge, the soldiers of these vassal states finally destroyed most of the Shang army's chariots, and also broke the formation of the deployed troops on both wings of the Shang army, the Shang army's large shield and long spear
The square formation could no longer be maintained, so I could only throw away my shield, discard my long spear, pull out my bronze sword, and fight with the enemy. On the entire battlefield, there were soldiers on both sides fighting each other, fighting in a group, no longer considering their companions, but only the enemy in front of me, killing the enemy in front of me, and then looking for the next enemy nearby, in the sky and under, gods and demons and humans were fighting for death. Even the sun was dyed bloody, which made people unable to bear to look at it." (End of this chapter)
