The two kings went to the Grand Canyon to meet for an alliance. What a big event this was.

The termite king summoned the civil and military ministers to discuss the matter. Some ministers said: "Bring a large army to prevent unexpected events." Some ministers said: "It is better not to bring a large army. If a large army gathers, let the ants think that we, the termites, are dishonest." The house ants stood among them, silent. Don’t say anything, just listen to what they say. The Termite King sat in the main hall, listening to the argument between his two ministers, and he had no idea. Looking at Jiayi, he asked: "I wonder what the Prime Minister's will is?" Jiayi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, we are here to discuss peace, not to send troops for conquest. However, we can plan for the worst and mobilize elite troops to escort us. ." After hearing this, the Termite King thought that the Prime Minister's words were reasonable, so he acted according to the Prime Minister's plan.

The next day, elite troops were mobilized to accompany the driver and headed towards the Grand Canyon. The ant king is accompanied by the little ants and their ministers, and the Yishi ant general is on standby in the canyon, keeping calm and remaining unchanged to cope with all changes. The Ant King and the Termite King meet in the canyon. When the ant king saw it, he said happily: "Termite King." When the termite king saw it, he said happily: "The ant king." The two kings bowed their hands and saluted, turned around and looked up at this high platform. Go up the stone steps. The two kings slowly walked up to the high platform together. The escort team and their ministers stood under the high platform, looking up. The Termite King stood on the high platform to stage his troops, and the orderly escort began to form a square formation. The general stood aside, with the red flag in front and the white flag in the back. The red and white flags were waved. The general separated and closed again. He stood, slapped his sword on his shield, and shouted: "Wind! Wind! Wind!" The termite king faced the ant king standing aside. , said very proudly: "King ant, what do you think of the military posture of our termite tribe? Can we dominate the world?" The little ant stood under the high platform and observed the conversation and behavior of the termite king, and then he knew the purpose of the termite king's military exercise. Intention, it is demonstrating! The little ant climbed up to the high platform and said: "Your Majesty, let's see the military power of our ant tribe." The signal bomb was released, and flags were erected and fluttered on the rolling hills. ? Your Majesty, can you return the lands of Yi and Que occupied by your army?" The house ants did not show any weakness and walked up to the high platform and said: "If you want the lands of Yi and Que, you can exchange them for fifteen cities. Let's do it." The little ant approached and said: "It's not difficult to get fifteen cities, just use the capital of your country to exchange for it." The termite king was furious and said: "You are rude." The little ant came forward, He said: "It was you, the termite tribe, who was rude first. Why should we, the ant tribe, treat you with courtesy?" The little ant pressed forward step by step. The house ant stepped forward and said, "Little ant, don't be rude to my king." The little ant glared angrily and said: "The king and I are very close. If the king still does not intend to return the land of Yi and Que, the foreign ministers will splash the king's blood." The house ant said in shock: "Little ant, you are crazy." The queen ant glanced at her and said: "If you are not crazy, nothing will happen." Then she looked at the termite king and said: "Your Majesty, do you agree or not?" The termite king was at a loss, and a civil servant could only step forward and offer the land of Yi and Que. Xiao Yi accepted the map and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your sincerity in negotiating peace." The two kings then sat at the desk, signed their credentials, and then handed their credentials to each other, passed them to the ministers around them and accepted them. From then on, the termite clan Make peace with the ants. The ant king and the termite king stood up and swore an oath, saying: "We, the ant tribe, and we, the termite tribe, have become a nation of brothers, non-aggression and mutual benefit. If there is any breach of contract, the insect gods will abandon them together." The two kings climbed onto the altar and stood. In front of the bronze tripod, the grains are boiled and sacrificed to heaven and earth. God serves as a warning and the gods bless them, so as to wish the two countries a good harvest.

After returning home, the Ant King held a banquet in the palace for the civil and military ministers. In the main hall, bells and drums are ringing, orioles are singing and swallows are dancing, and clothes are fluttering. The ministers were intoxicated with the banquet, drinking and laughing abnormally. The ant king put down the wine king and said: "We took back Yi and Que without any use of weapons. This peace negotiation with the prime minister has made a great contribution. The prime minister is resourceful and has a verbal battle with the termite king. Without losing the prestige of our ant clan, he will reward you with thousands of pieces of cloth and gold." A thousand taels of silver." Little Yi stood up and said: "It is the duty of the minister to do his best for the country. I do not ask for rewards. I urge the king to be diligent in government, refrain from arrogance and extravagance, implement benevolent policies, develop national power, and have strong national power as the backing. , Only then can I achieve today's merits." The Ant King said: "I know it." The Little Ant added: "The lands of Yi and Que have been taken back, please send good generals to take them over as soon as possible." The Ant King said again: "The Prime Minister's words are reasonable. "After that, the Ant King stopped singing and dancing and said: "It is said that General Shen Yi came into the palace to meet the Widow Ant." General Shen Yi entered the hall and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty." The Ant King said, "The Witness Yi makes you the general of the town. Go to Yi and Que as soon as possible to handle the handover matters." General Shen Yi kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will go to Yi and Que now." General Shen Yi stood up and exited the palace gate, heading towards Yi and Que. . The army entered the city and handled the handover with the former termite clan guard. After the handover was completed, the former termite clan guard led his troops out of the city. A few days later, on the recommendation of the Prime Minister, Xiao Chuan Yi was promoted to Yique Mu, and went to Yi and Que to govern the people there.

In Ruluo Xizhou, after the Cockroach King went north. Within the Cockroach Kingdom, he established Cockroach as the king and established his own foreign country. Cockroaches have a very strong reproductive capacity, and it takes a very short time from egg laying to larvae and adults. During this period of time, millions of troops could be multiplied. They lurked day and night and often harassed the border. From then on, there was no peace at the border. At this time, an army of cockroaches came from nowhere. When they invaded the village, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. Most of the people in the border areas stayed behind closed doors when night came. The streets were so desolate, and wind and sand filled the sky. Hearing the chaotic sound of horse hooves outside the village, these armies are elusive and it is difficult to find the main force. The army disappears as soon as it goes out to plunder. This is also the biggest headache for the border guards.

At the border gate, the guard stood on the city tower and looked away from a distance. Then he called the people to form a militia to unite soldiers and peasants to jointly resist foreign enemies. The whole city was filled with soldiers, taking turns to guard the city, day and night, patrolling, and not daring to There is no slack at all. On top of the city tower, soldiers looked away while patrolling. At this time, a cockroach cavalry appeared. They were watching the tower, ready to attack the city at any time, and reported to the defender in a hurry. At this time, the general was gathering at his residence to discuss military and political matters. The general entered and said, "General, a cockroach cavalry appeared outside the city." The guard replied, "Let's explore again." The general withdrew and observed the movements of the cavalry. If the enemy does not move, I will not move. If the enemy moves, I will move first. The guard general faced the generals and said: "Since King Cockroach was captured by the Qin army, the leaders of each tribe have made Cockroach king and established their own country. This Cockroach is a warlike bastard who often harasses our border towns. , making the border city restless. What strategies do you have to eliminate this hidden danger?" A general faced the guard and said: "Back to the general, since the Cockroach King went north, his tribes have been scattered and their own affairs. Most of these soldiers are tribal leaders or nobles. Of the infantry, cavalry is the most advantageous. The cavalry is flexible in combat, highly aggressive, and good at running, but not good at attacking cities. Most of us have infantry as the main force, and we are at a disadvantage in front of these cavalry. We can avoid their advantages and only need to hold on. If we don't come out, the enemy will retreat." Another general faced the general and said, "It's not a long-term solution if we continue like this. If we can't hold on for a long time, the enemy generals will regard us as weak, and they will become even more unscrupulous. If you harass our border town, the people will be slaughtered, productivity will be destroyed, and the border town will be in danger." These words spoke to the heart of the guard, and he was extremely appreciated.

The defender gathered his troops and stood on the tower, preparing to fight. The cavalry outside the city began to attack the city. Thousands of troops and horses rushed towards them with scimitars in hand. Thousands of arrows were fired from the top of the city tower, and the insects they shot were thrown off their horses. One after another they fell off their horses, and dust flew into the air. The guard general led the army out of the city and was killed among the rebels. The long sword hooks the horse's hoof straightly, and the horse turns over and falls. The guard general and the generals rode back and forth on their war horses to fight back and forth. The enemy generals were picked off with the long spears in their hands, and the enemy troops were immediately defeated and retreated. The guard general was about to lead the army in pursuit when a side general stepped forward to stop him and said: "General, just push back. It's not easy to continue the pursuit." At this time, the guard general was above Xingtou. Who could hear the side general's attack? He said, "The enemy army has been defeated. Now is the time to pursue. Don't disturb the morale of the army. You can stay for now while I capture the enemy general." He led the fine cavalry and was about to pursue them when a general rushed forward and said : "General, you will be ambushed by the enemy when you go here. I will go with the general. You stay here and write to the court to send reinforcements to relieve the emergency in the border city." At this time, the guard general led the elite cavalry and the generals to pursue. go.

In the vast desert, this place is full of flying sand and rocks, with the sea in front of it, far away from the border town. When I chased them here, I saw these fleeing cavalry disappearing into the vast desert. Could it be that they were hiding in the sky? They shouted: "Where have these troops gone?" They were spinning in circles. At this time, the enemy's cavalry appeared on the top of the hill. The guard looked at it, pulled out the long sword from his waist, and shouted: "Get ready to fight, get ready to fight." They all pulled out the bronze long sword from their waist and stared at the cavalry on the top of the mountain. Cavalry appeared in the surrounding mountains and surrounded it. The guard general said: "I was too proud to underestimate the enemy. I was ambushed by the enemy. Now I have no choice but to fight my way out." The surrounding cavalry swooped down. The guard general led the elite cavalry and the generals to charge forward, slashing with scimitars. Down, they rushed over, turned their horses' heads to confront each other, and fought fiercely. The swords collided, causing sparks. They rushed over, and the bronze sword in the guard's hand was cut off. The guard held the broken sword in his hand tightly, and the generals behind him fell down one after another. The cavalry rushed forward again, blood spattered, and the arm holding the broken sword was cut off. He had to grab the scimitar with his left hand and beheaded a cavalry general off his horse. The cavalry behind him and on the left and right swooped down, taking turns to charge and kill. Finally, only three ants were left, riding on the horses, with murderous intent in their eyes. Even if he is dead, he still has to pull a few people on his back, tear off his shirt and simply bandage his broken arm, and the blood will drip out bit by bit.
