The little ant followed the ant soldiers into the cave, stood in the cave, looked up at the bandit king on the throne, and said: "Uncle, my nephew is polite here." The bandit king saw the little ant in the hall and said: "Little ant, you and I have been together for many years. I'm impressed. Now you are the great hero of the ant tribe. How should I call you? Are you the king of the ant tribe or the hero of the ant tribe?" Little Yi looked up at the bandit king in the hall, was silent for a long time, and said with a smile: "Uncle or uncle. Call me little ant. The king of our ant tribe is the black ant. It is a descendant of the royal family and should be the king." The bandit king was a little tired of the trouble and said: "What are you doing up the mountain this time? Let's get straight to the point." The little ant raised his hands and said: "I went up the mountain this time under the order of the king. I surrender to the imperial court. It is our mission to protect our family and the people." The other bandit ants were filled with indignation and said: "Cook it, cook it. It." The little ant looked at the eyes of the bandit ants around it and wished it could eat it alive. The Mountain King first looked at the group of bandits, then faced the little ant, and said with a smile: "This is their voice, you have heard it." The little ant first glanced at the group of bandits next to him, not anxious but more calm. It was calm when faced with troubles and kept calm, saying: "I heard it." The Mountain King said: "This is everyone's wish. Even if I have the power of life and death, I can't disobey everyone's wishes. Can you?" Don't blame me." Then he faced the bandit soldiers and said, "Set up a big pot and wait." He put more firewood under the pot and thick smoke came out. The little ant approached the big pot step by step and saw that the water in the pot had already boiled. The little ant closed his eyes and said, "You and I are the same race, so why rush to fry each other?" During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Zhi, a literati, wrote such a poem, which is consistent with this sentiment, "Boil the beans to burn the bean sprouts, and drain the black soy sauce." Think of it as juice. The bean is burning under the cauldron, and the beans are weeping in the cauldron. They are from the same root, so why fry each other in a hurry?" The little ant stood in front of the cauldron, waiting for the order. At this time, the mountain king was hesitant. Perhaps he was thinking about his fellow tribesmen, or perhaps he was afraid of the pangolins guarding outside the cave. There is a price to pay for the impulse. He immediately stretched out his hand and said: "Slow down!" and brought the little ant back. The King of the Mountain said: "One mistake will lead to eternal hatred, and it will be a hundred years to turn back. Little ants have won the hearts of the people. If I kill you because of my own mistakes, the insects in the world will cry for you and hate me for being cruel and cruel. It is not worth it."
Xiao Yi was very pleased to hear such words and said: "Uncle's conscience has not been extinguished, so why not submit to the court and serve the country." The mountain king disagreed, saying: "I occupy the mountain as the king, and I am used to freedom. Now. I am the one who controls the wind and rain, with the power of life and death. Why do I go down the mountain with you to be bound by the court?" Xiao Yi found a random seat and sat down, turning sideways and said: "Uncle, you are so confused! Living in this dark cave Among them, you make a living by robbing homes and houses. The people hate you, and the court wants to surround you. You live a life of hiding in Tibet, day and night. On the one hand, you have to avoid the court's pursuit, and on the other hand, you rely on the food you robbed to feed them. , is this your freedom? One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and one country cannot have two masters. Otherwise, there will be chaos in the country, and our people will suffer. If our ant tribe becomes stronger, have you ever considered your end? This is genocide. For your crime, these brothers of yours will be buried with you. Have you ever thought about it for them and leave them a way out?" The Mountain King looked at these brothers and then at the little ants. The little ant took out another letter and said, "These are some letters written by their house ants." Then he stood up and stood in front of the ant soldiers, looking at their faces. These ant soldiers also looked confused and at a loss. These letters were then distributed to them. These ant soldiers looked at the letters in their hands, tears dripping down, and the letter paper was wet. Then he opened the envelope and Xiao Yi explained to them one by one, and he suddenly burst into tears. These ant soldiers also had tears in their eyes, and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty." The Mountain King was also at a loss, looked at the little ant, and said: "Little ant, you are very resourceful, please show us a clear way." The little ant raised his hand and said : "My king, Shengming, submitted to the imperial court and made contributions to the country. I will repay my king and promote you to general. This is their way out. Uncle, what are you still hesitating about?" King Shan thought for a long time and said "Okay, I believe you the most here, come down the mountain." The soldier shouted happily: "Go home! Go home!" The mountain king led them out of the cave. The pangolin hurried forward and said: "Brother, you are finally out, but I am so worried." The little ant came forward and said: "I kept you waiting for a long time, let's go! Let's go down the mountain together." We went up to attack, but no Perhaps this is the best strategy mentioned in the Art of War to defeat the enemy in battle. There is no need for weapons or war to conquer this million-strong army. It is the result of attacking the heart. If you know yourself and the enemy, you will be invincible in a hundred battles.
The ant king led his people to stand outside the capital to greet him. He looked up into the distance and asked, "When will the little ants arrive?" A commoner stood aside and said, "Your Majesty, the little ants have already gone down the mountain. Very soon. We will be here soon." The Ant King was delighted and said: "The little ant has made great contributions to successfully commanding an army of millions, and he is the only one who deserves the title of marquis." The people around him shouted: "Your Majesty is wise, and you have a wise man to assist me. The ant clan will definitely prosper." These people were full of praise for Xiao Yi, saying that Xiao Yi was young and promising, and he was mature at a young age.
The little ants lead the army through the grass, and the pangolins clear the way in front of them. The grass is swaying unsteadily. Through these weeds is the Qingshui River. The pangolin walked out of the grass. The ant king looked at it and said in surprise: "Look, what is this thing standing on the bank of Qingshui River?" All the people looked at it and said in surprise: "No, that is a pangolin. It will appear sooner or later." Appearing at this time, the ant clan is finished." There was chaos immediately. The ant king said to the back: "Don't mess up, get into battle formation and wait for the arrival of reinforcements." The ant king organized the various square formations. The ant king stood in front, and the archers stepped forward to draw their bows and set arrows, waiting for the pangolin's attack. . Then the little ants and the army appeared, and then they realized that they were just a false alarm. They ordered the guards to put away their bows and arrows and prepare to greet them. The little ants led them across the Qingshui River. The ant king stepped forward quickly and said: "Little ant." The little ant took a few steps back and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty." The army and its pangolin knelt down and said: "My king will be king forever, my king will be king forever." The ant king walked away He stepped forward to help the little ant, then faced everyone, and said: "My dear friends, stay safe." Then these armies stood up and the people watched. Among these armies were their children or husbands, all hugging each other and saying hello. good. The little ants and the king ant looked at them, very sensitive to insects. The little ant wiped away the tears that were about to fall and said: "Okay! Okay! The family is finally reunited." Then they came forward together, knelt down and looked up, and said: "Xiangguo, it is you who reunited our family ants. The great benefactor of our people." Then he said: "Let's kowtow to the Prime Minister together." The little ants helped them up and said: "Please get up, please get up, this is what I can do, I am not worthy of it, I am so ashamed." The little ant faced the ant king again, a little puzzled, and asked: "Your Majesty, what is going on?" The ant king replied: "You have conquered an army of millions, and you have made great contributions. I am ready to worship you as the prime minister. "The little ant immediately said: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. The ministers are more than willing to deal with the important affairs of the country. It is okay to make suggestions for the king." The Ant King said: "I believe in your talent, so don't let me down. ." When the ant king said this, the little ant could no longer refuse and said: "Okay, I can only serve as the prime minister temporarily." The mountain king fierce ant came forward, knelt down and looked up, and said: "Your Majesty, I am guilty. The ant king turned around and asked, "General fierce, what are you guilty of?" The fierce ant said, "I failed to die in battle with the army, so I led an army to flee, occupied the mountain as king, recruited soldiers and generals, and plundered the people." , stand up to the imperial court and look sideways." The Ant King was pleased and said: "You are able to submit to the imperial court. This is a wise move on your part. As for running away in the face of battle, it is justifiable. I forgive you. The Prime Minister recommended it before this. You said that you are brave in fighting and leading the troops well, so I will comply with the request of the prime minister and make you a general." The fierce ant knelt down to thank the ant king and said: "Thank you for not killing me, I will swear to serve the imperial court to the death. , be loyal to the king, and repay your kindness by doing everything for the king." The ant king said: "With your words, the little ant can rest assured, and let's live alone." The fierce ant stood up and walked to the little ant, knelt down and said: " The great ant of the Prime Minister." The little ant stretched out his hands to help the ferocious ant and said: "General, please stand up. You, my uncle and nephew, you don't have to pay such a courtesy." The ant king stood aside and said: "The general and prime minister are from our ant clan. It’s so painful, let’s go into the palace with the ants.”
The army settled down to camp by the Qingshui River. They followed the ant king into the cave. Inside the cave was a palace built for him by the common people. The red-walled pavilion was so majestic, and it was also a large-scale underground palace. There is a tall city wall surrounding the cave, and the Qingshui River is the moat. It is incomparable to the previous royal palace, and it just forms a national character. The ant king stood outside the palace and said proudly: "Prime Minister, how do you see the construction of this palace?" The little ant looked up at it and exclaimed: "It has the spirit of a king. This is an attack by the people, and it also contains the spirit of a king. ." The ant king said happily: "The words of the Prime Minister are to please the ants." The little ant immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't just listen to the words that are pleasing to the ears, it is flattery. The words that are beneficial to the country should be spoken by those direct ministers or admonishers. Because good advice is hard to the ears but helpful to the deeds." The ant king just replied perfunctorily: "The ants know it."
Walking in, standing on the side of the palace gate, I felt that there was something missing outside the palace gate. Then I looked at the pangolin and said: "Generally, outside the palace, there are ancient mythical beasts guarding it, whether it is a dragon, tiger or lion. I will seal the pangolin." To protect the temple, the sacred beasts are guarding outside the palace gate." Then he turned behind him and said, "Where is Shang Yi?" Shang Yi came forward and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty." The Ant King replied, "I have named you Sikong. You come to supervise the construction of the palace gate beast." Shang Yi knelt down to thank you and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The Ant King walked into the Qianyuan Hall with them, and with the support of all the ministers, he climbed onto the throne, turned around, threw out his robe sleeves, and sat down to face everyone. Everyone knelt down together and shouted: "My king will live for ten thousand years, and the ants will live forever." The ant king said: "Everyone is safe."
