Chapter 2 Zhou Jun pursues
There was no sacrifice of three animals, no ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens, everything was simple. This condition was even worse than when the Chu people stole cattle. Fortunately, he still had a golden finger, otherwise he would have been in trouble, so he used Zijue's golden finger to check it out.

[Newcomer gift pack opens, you get 5,000 stones of food, you get Human Rank·Celestial Phenomenon·Heavy Rain]
[Human Rank·Celestial Phenomenon·Heavy Rain (Things are planned by people and accomplished by the sky): A heavy rain can occur at a designated place and time. 】
When he saw this celestial phenomenon, heavy rain, Zijue's heart suddenly moved, and a light flashed in his eyes. In ancient wars, the influence of time and place was simply too great, and could easily change the direction of the war. A heavy rain was enough to determine the success or failure of the war.
.
Immediately Zijue came to ‘Zhu’.
"The pursuers of the Zhou Dynasty are approaching, and the soldiers are tired and unable to fight. Fortunately, God has given me destiny. It will rain heavily soon. You lead the people up the river, using the smoke of the beacon during the day and the beacon fire at night. After receiving the signal, dig out
Open the Huai River and flood the Zhou army."
Zhu was a little strange about Zijue's order. It was autumn at this time, and there would be no heavy rain. Even if the Huai River was dug up, it would not be able to flood the Zhou army. It would be a complete waste of effort. But he could not refuse the monarch's order, so he had to choose.
Five hundred people headed upstream.
After Zhu Zhu took away the 500 men, Zijue immediately used the reinforcement order. Since these soldiers could not be used, he could only use the 100 men provided by the system.
After Wang Jue used the reinforcement order, he quickly saw Dan walking over in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, there is a group of 100 soldiers asking to see you. They are the lost soldiers of our dying country."
"Invite them over quickly!" Zijue said happily.
Soon I saw a group of majestic men coming over. These men were all wearing leather armor and bronze jackets. It was obvious at a glance that they were an elite army. After seeing Zijue, these soldiers quickly knelt down and saluted.
.
"I may have arrived a step too late. Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"Get up quickly." Zijue stepped forward and helped him up.
"It's not too late. At this critical moment, we need the help of warriors!"
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?" Yi asked directly.
"You go and lead those soldiers, and then you have to fight against the Zhou people!"
Zijue did not trust the defeated soldiers. After he had his own men, he immediately arranged for them to take over. With these 100 reinforcements, the soldiers could control the demoralized soldiers without any problem.
Immediately afterwards, Zijue took out some grain and gave everyone a feast. Geng, who had gone to borrow a boat from the Huaiyi tribe, also came back. Huaiyi had agreed to lend them a boat. After a feast, everyone quickly boarded the boat to cross the river.
With Huaiyi's ships and the rafts Zijue had people cut and build, it took about an afternoon for four thousand old and weak soldiers to successfully cross the Huaihe River.
After Dazai captured Yancheng, the Fang states that supported the Yin Shang surrendered one after another. Only some Yin Shang survivors fled in all directions. Some of the Yin Shang survivors fled to the Eastern Seaside, while others went south to Huaisi.
Dazai did not let these people go. Except for leaving a part of the army to guard Amancheng, the rest of the army joined the armies of the princes of the Zhou Dynasty and continued to pursue them.
The Eastern Expedition has come to an end, and a large number of Yin and Shang kingdoms have been exterminated. News has come out that King Cheng is planning to enfeoff a group of princes. The fiefdom is in the homeland of the Yin Shang. If you want to get rewards, you must seize every opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
.
"General, we have found those businessmen. They are crossing the Huaihe River!" A soldier came to report excitedly.
"Huai River?" Shan was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly ordered: "The three armies listened to the order and immediately set off for Huai River to capture and kill the rebels. Everyone will be rewarded!"
The order was given and the army immediately took action.
The continuous defeats made these Yin and Shang remnants frightened. When they heard that the Zhou Dynasty army was coming, they immediately panicked. Fortunately, Zijue had taken control of the army and with the army to maintain it, the situation was finally stabilized.
.
Zijue knew that if he kept running away, the Yin Shang remnants would soon collapse and be destroyed. If he wanted to re-establish the country, he had to control these people, so he had to give these people confidence.
So what could be more uniting than a hearty victory?
Zijue asked the old and weak to hide in the rear, and he personally led 600 soldiers in formation on the south bank of the Huai River.
On the north bank of the Huai River, banners are flying, and the armies of Zhou Dynasty stretch for miles. As the saying goes, once there are more than 10,000 people, there is no limit. Tens of thousands of troops gathered in the north of the Huai River. Even if they are across the river, it still makes people feel more stressed. After all,
The Huai River is not a natural hazard of the Yangtze River.
Seeing the boundless army across the Huai River, the frightened soldiers were so frightened that their legs trembled and their faces turned pale. If it hadn't been for the hundred men summoned by the reinforcement order, these soldiers would have dispersed like birds and beasts.
When Bang Zhou's army saw that Zi Jue was only 600 men in formation, they burst into laughter, pointed to the other side of the Huai River and shouted to the left and right:
"A mere few hundred remnant soldiers, instead of bowing their heads and surrendering to our country's Zhou Tian soldiers, dared to resist? The 20,000-strong army of the Yan Kingdom was defeated. What's the use of these hundreds of remnant soldiers? They are just a group of chickens and dogs. Once the heavenly soldiers arrive,
Kill them all!"
"The Yin thieves offended the king and tried to rebel against the destiny of heaven. Little did they know that the destiny of the Zhou Dynasty was in the Zhou Dynasty. All those who rebelled will be punished. Now, warriors of the Great Zhou Dynasty, take up your weapons and destroy the Yin thieves! May the kingdom be prosperous forever!"
"Destroy the Yin thieves! The kingdom will last forever!"
"Destroy the Yin thieves! The kingdom will last forever!"
The army marched fifty miles in a hurry and arrived at the bank of the Huai River. Anxious to capture the remnants of the Yin Shang soldiers, Shan Bo couldn't wait to cross the river. But Shan Bo's approach played into Zi Jue's plan.
Although it was autumn, the Huai River flow was much less than that in summer, but it was still wide. The Zhou army immediately divided its men, cut down trees and made boats, and began to cross the river. As for the 600 remaining soldiers on the other side of the river, not only Shanhou, but also ordinary Zhou soldiers
The soldiers didn't take them seriously either.
It's only six hundred, and it can be destroyed easily.
Seeing the arrival of Bangzhou's army, the darkness was overwhelming, and the remaining soldiers were defeated and the two groups fought. If Zijue hadn't led the hundred people, these people would have fled in all directions on the spot. This was not possible. In this state, only
They were afraid that as soon as the Zhou army arrived, these people would turn around and run away.
Thinking of this, Zijue immediately brought Yi to the crowd.
"What's your name?" Zi Jue asked a soldier with a childish expression. This soldier looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old at most.
"feather."
"What a good name." Zijue said gently, "Are you scared?"
"No, don't be afraid!" The child's face was pale and his lips were trembling, but he still gritted his teeth and shouted in victory, with a hint of trembling in his childish voice.
Zijue reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "It's not shameful to be afraid, and I'm afraid too."
Hearing this, Yu's expression was very startled, thinking that Zijue was trying to comfort him. Even the soldiers around him were surprised.
Zijue looked around, and then shouted loudly: "But is fear useful? Will those Zhou soldiers spare us if we are afraid?"
There was silence in the military formation of hundreds of people. Zijue's words were like ice, tearing all their illusions into pieces.
Seeing everyone sinking into silence, Zijue shouted again.
"Five years ago, during the Battle of Makino, Bang Zhou destroyed our home and turned our people into refugees!"
"But they can't make us surrender!"
"All the suffering we endure will make us more united, stronger and more determined."
"Three years ago, Wu Geng was defeated in the hometown of Yin and Shang Dynasties. We lost many relatives and friends!"
"The country is destroyed and we have lost our last home!"
"Today, on the banks of the Huai River, the Zhou army has arrived again. Behind them are our wives, children, and children. Where else can we retreat?"
"There is no way out!"
"People of the country, we have no way out!"
"Today, I am here with all of you to fight to the death!"
"As soon as the battle begins, it is the time to fight to the death! If the army ignores the troops who retreat first, behead them; if the army ignores the troops who retreat first, the rear troops will behead the front troops! If I am alone at the front of the battle formation, if I retreat alone, please behead my head!"
"Your Majesty, you can't do that!" Yi heard this and quickly dissuaded him, while the surrounding soldiers also tried to dissuade him.
"Clang!" Zijue instantly drew out his bronze sword and shouted sternly: "Shut up! I have made up my mind. Anyone who dares to speak out again will be punished by military law!"
