Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste.
The meaning of this saying passed down from ancient times is that if you are prepared for something, you will succeed. If you are not prepared, you will inevitably fail. Although there are some generalizations and absolutes, it is correct in most cases.
However, if you have to wait until you are fully prepared to do something that requires timing, then it is not too far away from failure.
Just like the Shang Kingdom at this time, although most of the work was not ready, the expedition could no longer be postponed.
There had been a two-day war in the sky, and in conjunction with the folk song of "Death with the Sun," they took advantage of the opportunity for King Xia's expedition to declare war on him. The tribes and states from various places who had been contacted through the fox demon had already sent envoys to Shangqiu to stand by. If they continued to wait, they would be fully prepared.
He could only miss the good opportunity, so Yi Yin decisively held a swearing-in ceremony in [Hao City] where the Shang army gathered, and captured Zilu to preside over it.
Zilu was still a little hesitant at first, but after he actually took the stage, he calmed down and his whole aura changed. He stood on the general platform and said to the five thousand soldiers in the camp: "Common people, come here.
, My daughter, please listen to me. The gangster boy dared to commit chaos and committed many crimes this summer. Yu Wei heard what you said and said that the Xia family is guilty. I fear God and do not dare to be unjust. He has committed many crimes this summer and is destined to be punished!]"
It was quiet under General Dian's stage. Both soldiers and envoys from other tribes and countries were waiting for his words - of course, they might not understand.
"What are Mr. Shang talking about?" In the audience seat next to the general stage, Meixi, who came with her, quietly poked Yi Yin, "Okay, there is someone here who doesn't understand."
"It's probably, 'I'm not rebelling, it's because King Xia is guilty and I want to punish him on behalf of the Emperor of Heaven.'" Yi Yin touched his chin: "Now someone should jump out and ask, 'What does King Xia's guilt have to do with us?' and 'What does he have?
"Sin', Fang Zilu continued. Sure enough, it was because we had prepared too well in advance. Does everyone know the answers to these two questions?"
After all, even if Shang Jun himself had no problem, the envoys who were watching the ceremony should still have some questions.
Ah, that's it. Yi Yin slapped his head: The Shang Kingdom brought "all" the tribal envoys of the alliance here "at the same time". Under the influence of such magical means, it's strange that they dare to jump out and question it.
Although those "gods" will not directly participate in the battles between human races, the envoys do not know this.
After thinking about this, Yi Yin quickly made a "continue" gesture to Zi Lu.
Zilu was worthy of being a Shangjun. Even if the expected reaction did not appear, he always kept an attitude of checking everyone's reaction. At this time, after receiving Yi Yin's signal, he continued to speak loudly: "Everyone is too lazy and discordant, so he said: 'Yes
When will the sun die? I and you will both perish! 'If the sun is like this, the sun will also fall, so I must go now! You are willing to inflict heaven's punishment on one person, and give it to you. You will not disbelieve, and I will not break my promise. You
If you don't obey the oath, I will kill you without any mercy!"
"What did he say again?" Meixi continued to poke.
"Wait a minute." Yi Yin pressed his hands on the ground and activated his weak witchcraft power, causing waves of gradually clearer sounds under the ground, as if there were only a few people whispering in agreement, and gradually turned into the approval of many people.
Generally speaking, what "they" said is - "When will we die today? I and you will both die!"
Under the influence of these voices, the atmosphere gradually became heated, and many soldiers and envoys of the alliance in the audience were infected by the atmosphere and started shouting one after another.
"When will we die on this day? Both I and you will die!"
"Everyone perishes with the sun!"
"Destroy this giant thief!"
"Ah..." Mei Xi looked around in surprise at the excited soldiers and envoys, and then looked at Yi Yin with sparkling eyes.
"Well, the general meaning of what Zilu said before was, 'Didn't you swear that you would all perish with the sun? I will lead you to realize it now.'" Yi Yin straightened up and spread his hands to Meixi.
In addition, there is no need to explain to her about "there are enough benefits to be with me, and you will be severely punished if you dare to escape from the battlefield".
"I, I..." As if infected by the warm atmosphere at the scene, Meixi took a few deep breaths and said loudly to Yiyin again: "I want to be with you 'forever'!"
"Hmm..." Yi Yin scratched his head.
In fact, the first two times she said this, Yi Yin made some assumptions in this regard, but because her usual behavior was too out of the ordinary and seemed to be out of touch, she subconsciously didn't think about it until
I was taught a lesson by Iggy before, and I realized that that kind of response was wrong.
Although the interpretation of "she likes me" to a woman's unclear attitude is probably an illusion, this misinterpretation itself will give the woman a sense of accomplishment that "she is very popular", so just react as if that is the case.
Okay, what are you afraid of being embarrassed about? What if it's not an illusion and it just happens?
The most important thing is that Meixi has now said the words "forever". No matter how slow she is, she should understand what it means. Can it still be interpreted as "she wants to die with herself"?
"Hmm... Is that so? I understand," Yi Yin finally responded: "But since I am the military advisor in this battle to conquer Xia, I can't get away for the time being. I will come back to marry you after this battle."
How is it?"
"Okay--" The younger sister responded with half a word of surprise and joy, but was interrupted by a sudden burst of laughter around her.
"Pfft hahahaha!" With an inelegant laugh, Tushan Lingling appeared at the seat not far from Yiyin, but the other spectators seemed not to notice her appearance and laughter at all.
"You two... hahaha... you have been my joke for a whole year... Oh no, I can't..." The head of the Fox clan, who was wearing a complicated blue palace dress, pointed at the two of them with one hand and covered his stomach and shoulders with the other.
Constantly shaking.
"Then I can only think that your laughter point is too low," Yi Yin frowned: "I don't think there is anything funny in formally responding to a woman's courageous overtures."
"This... haha... it's hard to explain to you, hmm," Tushan Lingling waved his hands indiscriminately and managed to put on a serious face again: "About what you asked for before, the information about the levels and defenders that need to be passed to attack Xiadu
, I have asked my subordinates to sort it out and put it in your military tent. When you finish your work here... haha... no, I will find a place to have a laugh."
As Tushan Lingling disappeared, the laughter that he couldn't hold back ended abruptly.
At this moment, the shouts of "all the sun will perish" gradually died down. The soldiers no longer expressed their excitement, but looked at Zi Lu on the stage with "please give me an order". Lord Shang took advantage of this.
At this opportunity, he loudly issued an order: "My order! Pull out the camp! Leave Qishan! Raise troops to attack Xia!"
