The emperor asked the Chu State for its crimes.
This statement is consistent with "Zhou Rites", but what is heaven?
Can ordinary people answer questions from heaven?
There are many variables, all of which are controlled by the emperor.
At this time, the people of Chu silently hope that they will be safe today.
But Chu Jun knew in his heart that the emperor was waiting for time. As for what he was waiting for...
"Rumble..."
As spring passed and autumn came, Feng Yun secretly compiled "The Kingdoms" on Mount An Di. There were many people in An Di to protect him, and he built a temporary school palace in the mountain. It seemed that he had moved the Palace of Classics to this mountain.
There is lightning and thunder, and heavy rain is coming again. This year's rain has been abundant, and Chu Land is afraid of minor waterlogging.
"Sure."
Feng Yun was sitting behind a low table, with two books of nations placed on the table.
"States·Chu" and "States·Southwest".
In the southwest of the country, there are four kingdoms: Yelang, Yong, Ba, and Shu. Among them, there are also vague mentions of surrounding tribes, such as Qielan, Dian, Ailao, Gumang and other lesser-known tribal countries.
"I have never taken any strategy in the southwest, but it is weak."
The wind blows the green branches a little, and the "Countries Southwest" turns into a horn, with ribbons fluttering like the endless sound of the wind.
On it, the lines are like water, like wind, like snow, and like warm sun.
"We have promised to Southwest China that if given the opportunity, we can find a way to co-exist and prosper together."
Feng Yun thought to himself, but understood that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the southwest was not as good as the territory.
Compared with the Central Plains and other places, the southwest does not have an advantage in culture, economy, or even military.
So, we still have to go south.
Maybe people at this time don't know how big Huaxia's surroundings are, but Feng Yun knows it.
Further south from the southwest is the sea, which cannot be crossed by ships, and is not deep enough, no deeper than the southern part of the Baiyun. Therefore, the national policy at this time is not to go deep south.
To the southwest, you can go southwest again, starting from the Dian Kingdom, entering Gomachihara, seizing the peninsula, and then going south to the islands.
Or go east from the Dian Kingdom, enter Ailao, pass through the ancient wilderness, and enter the Indy Peninsula, completely control the south of Kunlun, use the Kunlun vein as a tower, overlook the army, and surround Indy.
In this way, the southwest can be opened up instead of attacking from within.
Feng Yun thought about this path for a long time. At this time, the national power of the southwest country may not be able to match the Central Plains, but it is enough for the outside world.
After writing down this policy, Feng Yun had to ask the southwestern countries to ally with each other to make it possible.
This can only be achieved if there is constant diplomacy, constant trade, and open roads between countries.
Of course, this is only a rough guide.
Feng Yun didn't know much about the situation on this road at this time, so he could only take this approach.
after all……
"The farther away from the Chinese road, the more remote the place with fewer people, the more wild beasts are infested, and there are also many evil spirits. Only with enough benefits can people open this road."
This policy is temporarily suspended.
"Feng Yun."
It was Shanfeng. After Feng Yun returned, he wrote a letter asking the barbarians to bring Shanfeng to Andi to learn calligraphy and understand their own way.
"I'm leaving Chu State."
Feng Yun handed the two books in front of him to Shanfeng.
"You can copy these two books and make copies in Andi."
Shanfeng didn't move, his eyes looked at Ce on the other side, seemingly attracted to him for no reason, Shanfeng asked.
"what about this?"
Feng Yun was not unhappy with Shanfeng's lack of etiquette and straightforward attitude.
He smiled and said, "This is an unfinished plan."
Hand it to Shanfeng.
"You can help me bring it to King Yelang and the southwestern countries."
Read it.
Shanfeng was surprised.
"Feng Yun, how do you know these places?"
Feng Yun shook his head.
"King Mu of Zhou once searched for the Queen Mother of the West, and met a country in the southern corner of the West, called the Kingdom of Ancient Mang."
"There are also many records in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which were recorded by the sages. Many of them are not in the Central Plains or the surrounding areas. It can be seen that there are countries beyond the ancient wilderness."
Feng Yun could only answer like this.
"Instead of fighting internally, it is better to open up the world, expand trade, strengthen ourselves through trade, and find the treasures that cannot be found in the Central Plains. On the contrary, we can buck the trend and change the way of heaven and enrich the way of humanity."
I only know internal friction but don't know how to develop. What can I do throughout my life?
Shanfeng seemed to understand, but nodded and put away this strategy.
"How long will it take for you to leave?"
"Where to go?"
Feng Yun listened to the roaring rain outside and said in a low voice: "At this time, "Zhou Li" is the heaven, so I am going to Zhoudu to have a look."
"There are too many countries in this world, and I may not be able to finish them all in my lifetime."
The mountain breeze whispered: "Zhoudu..."
"I don't like Zhoudu, but will you come back?"
return?
"Of course he will come back." Feng Yun pointed to the policy that the mountain wind had collected and said: "This policy is a promise to the southwest. The heavy snow forced a truce to make up for my behavior of provoking an unjust war, but the heavy snow Dong, how could it not be another harm to the human race in the southwest?"
The mountain breeze patted Feng Yun on the shoulder.
"That's the best thing to do, most people don't insult you."
Feng Yun laughed.
"hope so."
Putting away the green branches and inserting them into her bun, Feng Yun said, "Go find Mr. Baili Xi and ask him to speak to you."
"good."
Not long after, Baili Xi came to the hall.
"Fengzi."
"Mr. Baili, there is no need to be polite. Thank you very much for staying in Andi for a long time. Andi can be in good order."
After saying this, Baili Xi hurriedly saluted.
"Why did Fengzi say this?"
Feng Yun said: "I made a promise to my husband at the beginning. After raising sheep, my husband can get rid of his slave status and leave on his own."
"I'm afraid the sheep have been raised for a long time, but the husband kept them because of the situation in Andi."
Baili Xi felt ashamed.
"Fengzi, I am confused."
“If you don’t go anywhere, you don’t know which country you are going to.”
"Which country are you going to..." Feng Yun was silent.
Where will Baili Xi go?
Qin State.
But this is Bailixi's own fate.
"Where are Fengzi going?" Bailixi asked.
Feng Yun smiled and told him about going to Zhoudu.
"But, the Emperor and you?" Baili Xi was surprised. Will the Emperor treat Feng Yun kindly?
Feng Yun shook his head.
"I don't plan to become an official. I just heard that Mr. Lao Dan traveled around and now returns to the capital of Zhou, so I plan to go and join him and treat him like a guest."
Baili Xi was thoughtful.
"Fengzi, you know that I was almost used as a dowry slave to go to Qin."
Feng Yun nodded.
It seemed like a premonition.
Just listen to Baili ridiculing: "Earlier, when Fengzi Andi, someone told me that Dr. Qin Ying is looking for me."
"How could a feudal official find a slave?"
"I only recognize some talent and reputation. Although I am a slave to a defeated country, I don't want to be a slave."
"But Dr. Qin Ying's behavior has become more and more friendly as I am in charge of the government in Andi. I have caught the light of Fengzi. If I go to the land of Qin Ying, I may become an important minister of the place."
Baili Xi underestimated himself and Feng Yunan's reputation.
Bailixi was a landowner in An. Although he was not public about his politics, anyone who knew about An would know who he was.
No matter which country he goes to, he will probably be employed.
When going to the land of Qin Ying, Baili Xi may have taken a fancy to the word "land".
"Now that I heard that Fengzi wanted to go to the capital of Zhou and face the place he hated, in order to find the way, I was very moved."
"At this time, I also understand where I am. I was going to Qin Ying to be a slave. This time I go to serve as a minister, which will truly wash away the shame of being a slave."
"When I win a title for the land of Qin Ying, I can clear my name."
Bailixi is nearly sixty-seven years old, which can be said to be a long life, but at this time he is still very heroic.
Feng Yun smiled.
"Mr. Centennial has a decision in mind, that's all."
"The road is not right at the beginning. Only by making choices and taking risks again and again can it become the right path."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Let's go north with Mr. Feng," Feng Yun decided, and Baili Xi also expected Feng Yun to leave Anyi, so he wasn't surprised.
Arrange the follow-up for An Di for the last time, write down the plan, and let Baili Xi go and arrange it.
Feng Yun didn't have much luggage and was just packing it up.
But listen...
"boom…"
The sound of water bursts.
This is!
The memory of a long time ago was brought back, it was like the roaring sound in Baiyue, but now it was more violent.
"Where is the water?"
Feng Yun hurried out, only to see the sky was dark and thunderous. Looking to the north, he saw huge waves surging and sweeping between the mountains.
"Fengzi, the flood, how could there be such a flood suddenly!" Baili Xi hurriedly panicked, and many Andi people behind him were panicking.
With such a flood, Anshan Mountain will be submerged.
The art of looking for energy!
Feng Yun observes the energy and follows the sky to find its source.
"Gu Guo?"
"No, an inexplicable force covered that sky, and no one could check it."
"Gu Guo is afraid that it has been flooded."
And the Shennong Basin is afraid of suffering from this disaster too!
"What!" everyone exclaimed.
Gu Kingdom is just above An Di, not far away!
"Stay on Anshan Mountain and find a big tree to tie yourself up."
Feng Yun summoned the nine tails and rushed out.
Feng Yun looked at the central palace of An Di.
Stone tripod!
The luck of Andi is all gathered in the stone tripod used when worshiping ancestors in Andi.
At this time, luck pours out.
"nest!"
The nest curse protects the human race!
An invisible force protected Anshan. The surrounding wind and rain were isolated by this force, and everyone on Anshan was at peace.
It can be seen that Feng Yun rode the nine tails and headed north, as if heading towards the flood.
"Fengzi!"
On top of Anshan Mountain, Anren shouted loudly.
Such a surging water can be seen from a distance even from An Di. How can it be defeated by human power?
…
Zhu country!
The southwest corner of the Shennong Basin is also the lowest-lying part of the Shennong Basin.
At this time, the emperor took all the princes to the state of Zeng to offer sacrifices on the grounds of the God of Agriculture.
And the armies of the princes, including the emperor's army, are all in the state of Lu.
"boom!"
"Ah, help..."
The flood is ruthless, no matter who you are, everyone will be drowned by this flood.
When Feng Yun came, most of it was swept up by the flood and was about to wash down to the land of Jingchu.
"Summon Yu Zu!"
Feng Yun's natal weapon, Yu Ding, flew out.
Dayu held the Yu tripod in his hand, and when he saw this scene, he started to scream in surprise, even though he was originally dull and lifeless.
Feng Yun looks up to the sky.
That is the Daotian of the human race.
It seems that when looking at the Dao of Dayu in a certain layer of heaven, the Dao rhymes belonging to Dayu come from all around.
The human race is in trouble, and although the ancestors are gone, the spirit left by Tom will always remain in humanity. At this moment, with his approval, the wind summons the soul of Dayu to control the surging water.
"Suppress!" Dayu became angry and threw the tripod away.
Everyone around thought that Dayu was reborn.
Feng Yun rides nine tails and lives high in the mountains.
Birds kept flying out from behind him, and each bird could bite the lapel of a person who fell into the water and rescue him.
"Who can do this to deceive everyone in the world?"
Feng Yun was furious and looked at the world.
“It is possible for those who benefit from it.”
The ultimate goal of this flood...
"Chu...if there is no obstruction, this water will definitely submerge most of Jingchu, briefly reappear in Yunmeng Daze, and destroy the people of Chu."
Such a large amount of water cannot appear out of thin air. It must have accumulated strength in advance to have such power.
Combined with what the emperor said earlier, he asked Tian Chu about his crime.
it goes without saying.
Looking at the emperor's flag floating in the flood, Feng Yun's eyes seemed calm, but his heart was filled with anger.
"The reputation of King Zhou You is low."
"Buzz!" Chu's national destiny rose, like a giant coming to block the flood.
And Zhaoyang, who was guarding Jingmen, had already galloped away. The power of the military prime minister shocked the world, and the powerful prime minister Yu was filled with ice.
Zhaoyang used the tiger talisman to borrow the luck of Chu State. The icy cold air became more and more intense, and the frozen state seemed to be fighting against the Han River.
But the Han River has spirit, how can it be allowed to be done by Zhaoyang?
I heard the voice of Lord Chu, and my luck was the sound.
"The luck of Chu State will help Zhaoyang!"
The heaven and earth in the Chu Kingdom were shaken, and for a moment, the power of the Han River trembled.
But then, the flood surged. Even if it was blocked by ice, how could it be stopped?
The country of Lu is now submerged, and even with the power of Feng Yun's near saint, he can only summon hundreds of thousands of birds to rescue the people.
As for those armored soldiers, most of them were physically strong, and they could only struggle to escape under the pressure of the water suppressed by Emperor Yu.
"nest!"
When Feng Yun saw the state of Chu, he shouted loudly, as if summoning the ancestors of Chao.
But when people from all over the country heard Feng Yun's voice, they seemed to feel something, and resolutely followed Feng Yun's call.
"nest!"
People from Lu!
Valley people!
Deng people!
Andi people!
Chu people!
Following Feng Yun's guidance, he called to Daotian.
Have a nest?
Entering the Dao Heaven, there is the voice of Chao Ancestor, but he is nowhere to be seen.
"What is a country?"
Under the flood, the fortunes of the nations spread out and flew to where the wind allowed.
Feng Yun understands.
Use the luck of the nations to cast the nest curse.
The monarchs of various countries felt this and agreed one after another.
And as the water spread, those countries that heard the sound but had not suffered yet also responded.
Humane feelings, the country is the protector, it is indispensable at this time!
The princes of the Zeng Kingdom far and wide all gave orders to let the country's destiny help Fengzi.
The Nanshen Kingdom was also in the Shennong Basin. At this time, the priest was not happy with Feng Yun, and his monarch also hurriedly let luck help Fengzi.
For a time, Zeng, Huang, E, Baiyue, and Han all followed the humane way.
But when the decision came to the emperor, the emperor frowned.
"Heaven wants to destroy Chu, why should he deserve it?"
"Although humanity is great, can it be greater than the sky?"
The emperor did not follow humane principles, and used the sky to cover the mouths of the princes, and also used the shackles of "Zhou Rites" to cut off the countries from helping Chu!
"Emperor?" Han Jun exclaimed as he felt that Zhu Fengyun's luck had been cut off.
"Heaven wants to destroy Chu, but you want to defy heaven?"
unbelievable?
All countries are based on heaven, how can they go against heaven?
"The countries followed the trend and made up for their losses after Chu was destroyed. The same goes for me!"
ah?
The emperor actually released all the benefits of attacking Chu. Doesn't it mean that in this flood, the country that suffers greater losses will benefit more?
For a time, the monarchs who could determine the fate of a country, whether it was because of the emperor's intimidation or their inner greed, silently stopped helping the fate.
Under interests and "Zhou Rites", they also hesitated.
Can the losses from the partition of Chu be made up, and how can we make profits from it?
Some monarchs with humane hearts saw this scene, but they were so weak that they could only bow their heads helplessly.
I can only pray that the wind will allow me to cure this water.
But the water is so big, can it really be saved?
Feng Yun, who was far above the mountains, felt something and could only sigh.
How can people be strong when their humanity is declining?
"When you have a nest queen, you serve the country with the heart of protecting the people!"
Feng Yun does not expect help from these national fortunes, but only hopes for the humane feelings in the hearts of the people of all countries.
"Virtue lies in the hearts and minds of the people and has never disappeared due to changes in heaven and earth!"
The destiny of the people!
Just like in the time of Yu Yue, Feng Yun did not seek the fate of the country, but relied on the people's hearts to control the water. At this time, it is beyond the control of the monarch to rely on the wishes of the people.
To become a general trend, control the water!
