"I will fulfill my mission." After hearing these words, the clan elder felt relieved, but he still could not take it lightly and frowned while thinking. Gather all the ant corps in the cave and line up neatly. Male ants and female ants stand in a square team, worker ants in a square team, and soldier ants in a square team, to carry out unified division of labor. Male ants and female ants are responsible for reproduction and cultivating a larger ant army; worker ants are generally the weakest group in the group, but there are still a lot of them. They are good at running on foot and are responsible for building fortifications or expanding nests, collecting food and preparing for war. They need to serve and raise young ants and their queen at the same time; soldier ants have large heads and well-developed mandibles, which can crush hard objects and are responsible for fighting and defending the colony. After everything was completed, everyone acted independently and prepared for battle.
At this time, the clan elder had some free time and staggered towards the little ant's ant chamber. Maybe it was because he was old and his walking pace was a little difficult. The little ant's parents helped the elder to walk in. The elder asked: "How is the little ant?" Its parents were also worried about this and said: "This child hid in the room and didn't even see us. We are really scared. This child can't think straight." The clan elder pushed them away, sat down and said, "Xiao Yi is a cheerful child, nothing will happen to him. You all go and do your work, I will enlighten it, you can go without worries." The parents then stepped back. The clan elder stood up with great difficulty, holding on to the wooden stick and gently pushing open the door. The little ant was lying on its side, curled up, using leaves as a quilt to cover its head tightly, and it was twitching constantly. The clan elder also hesitated for a long time, sat next to him, and said: "Little Yi! Grandpa knows that you haven't slept yet, and your uncle's misfortune is something we couldn't predict, so don't blame yourself." Little Yi stood up and raised his eyes. It's red, and there are tears in the corners of the eyes. Xiao Yi twitched and said: "Grandpa." The clan elder sat next to Xiao Yi and consoled him: "Grandpa knows that you have been wronged. It is not your fault. You must learn to be strong. If you are strong, other ants will not despise you. Some grievances can be said to be trivial. Do you know the story of King Gou Jian of Yue at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period?" Xiao Yi wiped away the tears on both sides, held his chin in his hands, looked up at the clan elder sitting next to him, and said: "Grandpa, King of Yue Wasn't Gou Jian the last overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period?" It seemed that Xiao Yi knew a lot at such a young age. He was happy for this and said, "You are right. King Gou Jian of Yue was defeated at Kuaiji Mountain and entered a desperate situation. There was an adviser beside him who advised him to surrender to Wu in order to make a comeback. There was a minister next to King Wu Fu Chai who was greedy for money and lust, and successfully entered Wu. He became the horseman of the King of Wu, a lowly slave, and his wife served the King of Wu. Sleeping, what a shame. He endured humiliation and served Wu for ten years, and gained the trust of the King of Wu. After returning home, he worked hard and worked hard, worked hard on political affairs, and trained troops to prosper the country. After the King of Wu got the beauty Xishi, he did not think about it. On state affairs, he refused to listen to the advice of his loyal minister Wu Zixu, drank and had fun all day long, and slept in the gentle countryside. In 482 BC, King Wu led his troops north to attack Qi and Jin to compete for the hegemony. King Gou Jian of Yue seized the opportunity to capture Gusu. After killing the prince, King Wu committed suicide in shame. Xiao Yi, grandpa is telling you this story today, do you know what grandpa meant?"
Xiao Yi was silent for a while and said: "No matter what difficulties and blows you encounter in the future, you must be strong and unyielding."
The clan elder laughed a few times and said: "Children can be taught. Remember my grandfather's words. Those who do great things can endure what ordinary people can't endure. Difficulties temper their will, and their hearts are unwavering and their will is indestructible." Little Ant Suddenly he became enlightened and his worries gradually dissipated, and he said: "Little Ant understands."
This time it went to the termite clan to negotiate peace, and it only brought one entourage. When I walked here, the trees were lush, overgrown with weeds, and branches stretched out randomly. There were also towering trees that were both withered and flourishing. I thought that the nest of the termites would be under this towering tree. Under the towering trees, the soil is loose and filled with holes. I randomly found a hole to enter. The cave was dark and humid. It was connected by tree roots and intertwined. The tunnel was extremely complicated. The intricate tunnels were connected to each hole, like a network. It and its followers wandered inside the hole for a long time, and it was difficult to find the whereabouts of the termite palace. It seemed to be spinning in circles, looking left and right without looking at the road under its feet. Guarding soldier ants. These soldier ants were all milky white and had web wings. They approached them with their halberds out and asked, "What kind of ant are you? What are you doing here?" The messenger stood up and faced the soldier ants around him, but he was neither humble nor arrogant. He said, "I On behalf of the queen of the ant clan, I have come to pay homage to your termite king, request for peace, and ask you to lead the way." The soldier ants glanced at the envoy and his entourage, and led the way. The envoy and his entourage followed closely, and entered The termite palace turned around and scolded: "You two ants are waiting here, I will retaliate to the king." The messenger looked around the cave and said: "Go ahead, we will wait here for the termite king's summons." Then he looked around. This soldier ant enters the termite palace.
At this time, the termite king was discussing important matters with his ministers or nobles. Suddenly, soldier ants came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the ants sent an envoy to ask for an audience." The termite king was lying on the couch, with the queen and concubines waiting beside him. Quite like a king. Suddenly, he heard that an envoy was waiting in the Termite Palace. He was extremely excited and stood up, saying: "The ants didn't go looking for them, but they came to the door and brought the envoy here." The termite tribe and the ant tribe continued to have disputes. There were countless casualties. The two had deep grudges, so they were ordered to light an oil cauldron and fry the ants. The oil boiled and thick smoke floated out. The envoy looked up at the thick smoke coming out of the palace, and joked: "It seems that the termite clan will escape death this time. The termite king is ready to fry you and me." The soldier ants walked out and escorted the envoy and his entourage into the termite palace, and stood there Under the royal court. The termite king is sitting on it, his smile is like a hidden sharp knife, and he is facing each other. The termite king looked at him for a long time and then said: "Your Majesty is going to blow me up." The termite king looked at the oil cauldron below him and said: "Do you think you still have a chance of survival?"
The messenger held his head high and glanced at the oil cauldron behind him. His strange smile shocked the termites present and said: "Fried ants are a delicacy. Remember, you can share a piece of the ant tribe's pie. Our ant tribe will In gratitude for the kindness of the Termite King, all the people in the country are devoted to revenge. The two sides are fighting endlessly, and the people are suffering. I think you should know this truth. If you provoke a war between the two tribes for no reason, it will be a serious crime if a foreign tribe invades. I am really worried about the disaster of annihilation and the danger of annihilation of the clan! At the same time, I am also worried for the king!" The termite king smiled proudly and said in dialogue: "We don't allow foreigners to worry about the danger of our clan. The ants are always ready for war, etc. Come here." Then he waved his sleeves and said, "Push the second envoy into the oil cauldron and blow it up." Soldier ants on both sides stood up and led the two envoys towards the oil cauldron. The envoy turned around forcefully, pushed away the soldier ants on both sides, and faced the termite king and said: "Your Majesty, please listen to what the envoy has to say. It will not be too late to blow up the envoy." An aristocratic elder stood up and said: "Your Majesty, please listen. It finished its speech first." The Termite King sat down again and said, "Let's see what it has to say."
The messenger took a few steps forward, glanced at the oil cauldron behind him, and said in a false alarm, "Your Majesty, you and I belong to the ant tribe, but they are just different species. Now your and my most powerful enemy is the bumblebee. The invasion of the bumblebee means that They are destroying our ant clan. If our clan is destroyed, will your termite clan survive? Your lips are dead and your teeth are cold, and you know that there are intact eggs under the nest. Our ant clan is fully aware of the serious relationship between them. We have stopped fighting and repaired, and we are brothers. Our kingdoms do not invade each other. This has more advantages than disadvantages for you. Please weigh the advantages and disadvantages, Your Majesty. To express the sincerity of our friendship, the queen ant of our clan has sent a pair of thousand-year-old ice silkworms." Then she called her entourage to offer the thousand-year ice silkworms. . The termite king gladly accepted this profound gift, removed the oil cauldron, and said, "Sir, please have a seat." The envoy sat at the VIP table, and the termite king asked, "Sir, your coming this time is not as simple as negotiating peace."
"The foreign envoys came to ask the king to send troops to jointly defend the enemy. Only when the powerful enemy retreats can there be peace between you and me."
The termite king asked for advice again: "The bumblebee is powerful, how can we resist the enemy if we are weak? Please teach me, sir."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this matter. The enemy's strength mainly lies in its air power. Only the nobles can match it. Using the nobles' air force to lure the enemy to land caves and tunnels, our army can defeat the powerful enemy with one man. Divide and destroy.”
