A long, long time ago, no, according to the era of Shanhai, it was a long, long time later.
Yuzai made it clear to everyone that any of the three thousand dead men who participated could be personally named "Five Dinglishi" by the envoys of Tao and Tang Dynasties in the Central Plains.
This comes from the legend of the ancient Qin State's attack on Shu, but it has not happened yet in this era.
The Shu Kingdom had natural dangers blocking the Central Plains. The Qin Kingdom wanted to take Bashu, but the Shu Kingdom was difficult to conquer. So King Huiwen came up with a measure of stone and cow dung gold, which made the greedy King of Shu come to ask for it. So the King of Shu sent five natural gods.
The warriors moved mountains and cut rocks, and forcibly carved a highway in Shushan. However, during this project, a huge accident occurred, a big snake ate a woman, and a landslide occurred, so that the five Ding warriors died and the Qin girl died.
The giant snake died, and Wu Ding died.
The road to Shu was clear, and when I heard that Wu Ding had died, Qin had no fear, so as soon as the Qin army arrived, Shu was declared dead.
Hercules, this is a great title equivalent to a warrior.
However, the chiefs of various tribes will not risk the lives of their own family members just because of a title recognized by the Central Plains.
"How about mining rocks nearby? Although the materials are a bit inferior, the levels can still be built..."
Someone frowned and made this suggestion, but not many people agreed with him, and only a few responded.
"That's not the problem."
The Tushan clan leader shook his head and said to Yu Zai: "The soldiers in the south are defending their homeland, but we are only assisting. The Central Plains' order only requires us to send troops to help fight, not the main force. Now we are building city gates, but you say we still need manpower to go there."
To die, we must be prepared to take our lives, but we haven’t even seen a single person from Sanmiao, are we going to die here?”
"Even if you become the first person to die, it won't be enough for us to send someone to die with you."
The head of the Tushan clan looked at Xunshan and the great wizard Chaisang: "It's not that the Dongyi people have no credibility, but that this kind of death is meaningless and unnecessary... Of course, for us
, then, if you want our people to help you too..."
"No need."
At this time, contrary to everyone's expectations, the great wizard of Xunshan said directly: "Of these three thousand warriors, Xunshan will produce 500 of them."
"Let's pick the rest from the wilds in the south! Everyone, it's our turn."
The tribe leaders and wizards in the southern wilds looked at each other in confusion.
But in the end they all sided with Yu Zai.
The people in Baiyue were watching Dongyi's joke, while the people in Dongyi were a little embarrassed.
But Patriarch Tushan remained calm.
When he saw Danzhu's eyes turned cold, Tu Qing, the leader of the Tushan clan, still said:
"Dongyi people are not afraid of death, and we are not fighting for any benefits. The Central Plains have already given us enough benefits. Dongyi people are not greedy, and Easterners are not greedy. We are not the Kunlun Tribe of the West. We should fight
When it comes to the battle, it will be done."
"But there must be a reason for death."
"The sun rises in Yanggu and will eventually set in Yuyuan. This is an eternal law of heaven. But before it sets in Yuyuan, the sun's light will surely shine on the earth and its raging flame will never be extinguished."
Ruzai came down from the earth platform, walked up to him, and gave him the Central Plains salute.
Tu Qing responded to Zhongyuan’s gift:
"Sunrise in Yanggu."
Yu Zai solemnly said: "The sun rises from Yanggu in the east, starts from Fusang, travels all the way to Ruomu in the west, descends into Yuyuan, and finally sinks into Shibuya and dies. But is the sun really dead?"
"It will still appear in the eastern sky the next day. Even if it is blocked by dark clouds one day, the sun's rays will eventually fall on the earth on the second or third day."
"I'm just a little wizard from a tribe. Everything I do is for my tribe. To put it more selfishly, if Sanmiao comes here, my tribe will be destroyed."
"As for Dongyi and Baiyue, although they will not be afraid of Sanmiao, and Sanmiao will also be wary of you and will not overly impact when their vitality is seriously injured, but what if we wait for them to recover?"
"Can Dongyi and Baiyue compare with the Central Plains? The Central Plains attacked Sanmiao, and the battle at Danyuan was earth-shattering. Only then did Sanmiao be pushed back to the south, but it was only a repulse. The Central Plains did not continue to pursue it.
The certainty of victory.”
"Does Dongyi and Baiyue exist?"
"Dongyi has the power of the long bow, Baiyue has the speed of the boat, Sanmiao has neither, but are they weak?"
"Chief Tushan, do you know the meaning of sacrifice?"
Tu Qing said: "Who here doesn't know the meaning of sacrifice?"
In ancient times, sacrifice did not have great significance for future generations, but it was equally solemn, because sacrifice refers to the pure-colored animal tributes during sacrifices, which are pure-colored animals such as "white dogs", "white horses" and "white birds" mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
White, a very rare solid color animal.
Later, in today's era, sacrifices also included providing livestock for "oaths" and "feasts".
That is to say, what is sacrificed and what is sworn when making an oath.
During the Zhou Dynasty, the vassal covenants were made. Even in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period when rituals were broken and the seven kingdoms each became king, if they wanted to do something big and could not win the trust of the other party, they would still go to Luoyang to ask "Emperor Xun"
”.
It means, you don’t have to believe me, but now I have invited the emperor’s dried bacon and chopped it twice. This is considered as an oath to God. You have to believe in the emperor. And with this thing, once I break the covenant
, then all the princes in the world will despise and condemn me.
This is what was done during the period of the Five Kingdoms Prime Ministers.
Yu Zai said to the Tushan clan leader: "Sacrifice refers to offering blood as food to heaven or one's own beliefs. It means 'dying for one's beliefs.'"
"This time we dug into Xia Shan and moved the stones to build the strongest barrier, to resist the invasion of Sanmiao. If we use the ordinary earth and stones that can be seen everywhere, if something goes wrong and the barrier is breached, then we
What are you working on again?”
"This is also a sacrifice!"
"Dedicate our lives to our cause, and express our will to the heavens!"
"There will always be someone who stands up. There is no need to force or kidnap. If someone is willing to protect their homeland, they will naturally stand here."
"If we succeed, then God is on our side!"
"Our cause is just, and a just cause cannot be conquered by any enemy! Just like this 'Chongyong (tall city)'! God does not allow Sanmiao to invade. Our behavior of protecting our homeland is a way to win over heaven and earth.
approved!"
"I am willing to sacrifice my life, and I will never give up even if I die a hundred times! (Witch Zhu Yu)"
Yu Zai looked at everyone. At this moment, many leaders of Baiyue were looking at each other.
They really felt a "power".
What this child said is correct. What this little wizard said is correct, from small righteousness to great righteousness.
Our cause is just.
The Juming clan came out at this time, and their warriors beat their own arms with their fists!
"Heaven above!"
At first it was just the Juming clan, but soon, the small tribes in the Wuyue area, Yangyue clan, Baipu clan, Nanpu clan, and finally, even the head of the Juxiang clan laughed and beat his arms!
What a courageous kid!
"Heaven above!"
Baiyue's voice was as high as the raging ocean tide, and the fighting mood was at an unprecedented high at this time. Under the guidance of the mood, some people in the southern tribes kept getting excited and began to request to be one of the three thousand strong men.
In the end, among the Dongyi people, the Tushan clan leader finally understood Yu Zai's determination, and regardless of whether Baiyue was making noises or not, he already recognized what Yu Zai had just said.
