To the southwest of the termite tribe, the situation is mostly unstable. The termites are constantly increasing their troops in the southwest, hoping to take back the southwest. The termite clan is led by Cloud Ants, and the ant clan's defenders are led by fierce ants. Yun Yi led his army out of the camp and gathered under the city. Cloud Ant stood on the chariot, looked at the city tower, and called out: "Please come forward and answer the question, Lord of the City." Then the suspension bridge was lowered, the city gate opened, and the fierce ants drove the chariot out of the city and wandered in front of the formation. Yun Yi asked: "Who is coming? Tell me your name." Fierce Ant replied: "This general is the general of the ant tribe, Fierce Ant. I wonder what the meaning of your army gathering under the city is?" Yun Ant stood there. On the chariot, he said: "The land in the southwest is originally the territory of our termite tribe. Since the two countries have made peace and become a brotherly state, your country should return the land in the southwest to me." The fierce ant said: "Return the land in the southwest. Within the terms of the peace agreement, I will not be able to obey the order." Yun Yi said: "If the general insists on doing this, then we will attack the city." Fierce Ant replied: "You Termites have broken your promise not once or twice. If you come to attack the city, come and attack, we will accompany you to the end." The fierce ants drove the chariot back to the city, climbed onto the tower and ordered the army to prepare for the battle, and looked at the army under the city wall. Yun Yi stood on the chariot, pulled out the long sword from his waist, pointed at the tower, and said: "Attack the city."
The armies on both wings rushed out, chariots and war horses galloping in the flying yellow sand. Bows and arrows were drawn on the city. When the army under the city approached, thousands of arrows were fired. When the arrow rain fell, the insects suddenly fell on their backs, and the arrows fletched. After passing through the armor, many soldiers fell off their horses and died, and the whistling sound flew past their ears. Then the Chinese army attacked, with gold and iron horses, attacking the city tower, carrying ladders and pushing siege vehicles, and crashed into the city gate. There are many oil pans on the tower. The oil in the pans is rolling and steam is rising. The hot oil was poured down, directly scalding the skin and splashing on the face. The soldier held his face in his hands, white smoke was rising, and he kept screaming. The rockets fell like fire shadows, and the city suddenly turned into a sea of fire. The siege vehicles were burned, and the soldiers struggled in the sea of fire and were burned to charcoal. Seeing this, Yun Yi ordered his troops to withdraw. The ferocious ants drove out in chariots and led their army to pursue them. The termite army withdrew and set up camp thirty miles away. They did not dare to move out and could only huddle in the camp. The ferocious ants fought bravely and won a great victory in the southwest, inflicting another heavy blow on the termites. News of the victory soon spread to Qingshui River, the capital of the ants.
The learned men gathered in the recruitment hall. The ant king consulted the government in the recruitment hall. When he received the news of success at the border, he was overjoyed and said: "General Fierce Ant has won a great victory in the southwest region. Good! Good!" Then he faced the wise men and asked: "What should I do if I want to destroy the termite tribe and clear a major obstacle to the unification of the countries in the South China Sea?" A wise man stood up and said: "The termite tribe is assisted by the wise prime minister, the house ants. This ant has the talent to stabilize the country and should not be underestimated. As far as I know, the house ants and the termite king are at odds. The king needs to send an insect to the termite clan to separate the monarch-minister relationship between the house ants and the termite king. When the time comes, When the time comes, your Majesty can send troops to attack Shitan City and set out from Shitan City to surround the capital city. The termites will not be far away from the country's destruction." After hearing this, the Ant King added: "Sir, this plan is very clever. If the few ants are wiped out, What should we do after the termites?" The sage replied: "The king needs to train a strong navy, build large ships and warships, and set up a shipping department and a military port at the port to prepare the army for going to sea to attack Ruluo Nanzhou. Get ready." The Ant King felt that this plan was feasible. The swordsmith stood up and asked again: "This time we send troops to attack Ruluo Nanzhou, we must pass through Ruluo West Continent. If Ruluo West Island sends troops to help us, then our army will be attacked from both sides." The ant king looked at the sword maker. The teacher said: "The military advisor's concerns are reasonable." The wise man stood up and said: "Ruluo Xizhou's large-scale attack on the Cockroach Kingdom took a long time and was large-scale. After the new king succeeded, the country's power was not as strong as before. In addition, the new king did not have the talents of the previous king. We are short-sighted and want to be comfortable. We can set up military ports in Yazhou, Tianya, Haitang, and Lingshui in Sanya. These four military ports can contain Ruluo Xizhou and respond to each other from a distance. If Ruluo Xizhou dares to send troops, the four of us will The port can send troops to attack Yongcheng, and Ruluo Xizhou can be liberated." After hearing this analysis, the ant king suddenly became enlightened and said: "Sir, this strategy is very good, so who is willing to go to the termite tribe?" Xiangguo Xuyi stood up and said, Said: "Your Majesty, there is a guest tail ant in the minister's palace who can go to the ant clan." The ant king said: "Quickly pass the guest tail ant to the recruitment hall." Xiangguo Xiang was a little worried and said: "The tail ant looks ugly, I am afraid of being scared. King." The ant king said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
Eunuchs were sent into the Prime Minister's Mansion to welcome the tail ants. The palace carriage stopped in front of the gate of the prime minister's mansion. After entering, he faced the guests and said, "Which one of you is the tail ant?" The tail ants limped out and said, "Little I am the tail ant." When the eunuch saw him, he said: "Please raise your head, tail ant." The tail ant then raised its head, with sinister features and unattractive appearance. The eunuch held back and said: "The king has summoned me, so I will follow the Za family to the recruitment hall." The eunuch followed the eunuch and ran towards the palace of the King of Ants. He entered the recruitment hall, knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "My dear minister, tail ants. King." The ant king looked at the tail ant and said: "The tail ant in the hall raises its head." The tail ant then raised its head. The appearance of the tail ant was indeed a bit scary, but also made it want to laugh. In order not to lose his manners in front of the ministers, the ant king walked down and asked seriously, "You are the tail ant." The ant king said, "You are the little ant." The ant king said, "The Prime Minister Xiang Wu The ant recommended you, can you go to the termite tribe?" The tail ant said: "I am willing to go to the termite tribe to complete the mission assigned by the king." After hearing this, the ant king said with some relief: "The reason why you went to the termite tribe this time is It is a very heavy task to drive a wedge between the monarch and the minister of the termite king and the prime minister ant!" The tail ant kowtowed again and said: "The little ant will definitely live up to its mission." The ant king looked at the tail ant, calm and composed. After a long time He said: "My dear, please stand up." The tail ant stood up, bowed and bowed, exited the recruitment hall, and drove to the termite clan.
The termite army camped thirty miles away in the southwest region to reorganize their troops, but they were short of food and grass. Jia Yi from the termite clan was in charge of money and food, so he came up with the idea of military rations, mixing sand into the military rations and transporting them to the southwest region. When the officer entered the granary, half of the food was filled with sand. Most of the food was stolen by Jia ants, which caused dissatisfaction. They plotted a rebellion in the military camp and said: "The king is ignorant, appoints traitors, and excludes loyal people. We have rebelled." Another officer stood up and said: "We belong to the old army and the most soldiers died in the charge. I don't see any rewards. Most of the people who were awarded the title were the King's new army, which is unfair." Then he walked out of the military camp. Seeing the commotion in the army, General Yunyi stepped forward to stop it and comforted him: "Don't be impatient. The food is mixed with sand. I know it. , we need to wait for this general to find out before we discuss it, you go back to the camp and wait." The soldiers shouted: "What are you waiting for, we have all rebelled." The soldiers drew their swords and swarmed up to kill the general Yun Yi, and the soldiers in the southwest region rebelled.
Some soldiers secretly entered the fief of Wen Jun, the younger brother of the Termite King, and incited Wen Jun to rebel. The sergeant knocked on the door and came in. Seeing these sergeants breaking in, Wen Jun said in panic: "What are you going to do? Is the king going to kill his brother?" Wen Jun lived in fear all day long, making him panic all day long. All the soldiers knelt down together, looked up at him, and said, "Your Majesty." Upon seeing this, Lord Wen fearfully said, "Your Majesty, I don't want to be the king. Please rest assured, Brother Wang. My only wish is to live the rest of my life in Wen. , have no intention of rebellion." The soldiers said: "Today's king is ignorant, appoints traitors, and the virtuous are being marginalized. We support you as king, write a message to conquer the termites, and then we can attack the capital and help you restore the throne. "When Wen Jun heard what they said, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat and said: "If you want to rebel, this is a serious crime of genocide. You must not do it, you must not do it." The soldiers took Wen Jun away by force, and he was in the southwest Yu Yu raised troops and quickly captured Shitan City and garrisoned Shitan City.
The Termite King received an urgent report from the court. The army from the southwest region had rebelled, captured Shitan City, and was about to march towards the capital city. He suddenly panicked and said: "The army in the southwest region has rebelled and captured Shitan City. What plan does the Prime Minister have?" Today, the Prime Minister did not come to the court. He closed himself in the Prime Minister's Mansion and refused to leave. No bugs to be seen. Then he looked at the great Sikou and said, "Sikou." The great Sikou stood up and said, "I'm here." The termite king said, "It's better that you go see the Prime Minister." The great Sikou bowed and said, "I will retire now."
Da Sikou exited the hall, ran towards the Prime Minister's Mansion, stepped forward and knocked on the door. The person who opened the door was Yaoyao, who saluted and said: "Sikou Daant." Dasikou asked: "Is the Prime Minister in the house?" Yaoyao was also worried about the house ants, fearing that they would get sick from boredom, so she said: "Master, please close yourself up." No one can be seen in the study, so it’s better for the servants to take Sikou Dayi there." Yaoyao took Sikou Dayi to the door of Xiangguo's study, knocked on the door and said: "Master." There was a call from the house ants in the study. The voice said: "Didn't I say that I won't see anyone, so I told it to go back." Si Kou stood outside the door and said: "House ant, how could it be that even I am missing?" After a long time, Xiangguo opened the door of the study room. , entered together with the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister turned around and said: "Sikou, please sit down." After Sikou sat down, he looked at the ants and said: "The soldiers in the southwest have rebelled, and the Prime Minister knows it." After hearing this, the Prime Minister already understood and made a confident statement With a look on his face, he said: "I already understand this matter." Da Sikou asked again: "Does the Prime Minister have a plan in mind?" Jia Yi said: "I have two plans to offer to the king. The best plan is to kill Jia Yi to calm the morale of the army. The rebellion of the border guards started because Jia Yi withheld military rations. The king should give an explanation to the entire army. The next best option is to appoint Bai Feng as general. After General Bai Feng suffered a disastrous defeat in the Grand Canyon, he is more cautious in using troops. General Bai Feng will lead the army. If we put down the rebellion, the rebel army will be defeated, but after putting down the rebellion, our army will be depleted, and it may be difficult to resist the termite army." Da Sikou was also embarrassed about this, and said: "The king favors Jia Yi so much, just because Jia Yi They can figure out the king's thoughts and please the king, so it is difficult to kill Jia ants." The house ants also have no way to do this. Jia ants have the support of the termite king behind them, so they cannot kill Jia ants, so they said: "The only way is to do this. That's the last decision." The Prime Minister also shook his head at this matter. Da Si Kou stood up and said: "Jia Yi, let's face the king together, maybe you can persuade the king." Jia Yi said: "The king has banned me, now It's not convenient to leave the mansion at this time, so Da Sikou can forward it to the king on my behalf." Da Sikou could only nod silently and walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The Great Sikou entered the palace to meet the Termite King, and the Termite King immediately asked: "Does the Prime Minister have any good strategies to counter the rebellion?" The Great Sikou stood under the main hall, facing the Termite King, and said: "The Prime Minister offers the King two strategies, this time. The rebellion of the soldiers in the southwest region started because Jia Yi was depriving the army of food. The king can order Jia Yi to be killed to calm the morale of the army." The termite king faced Jia Yi, who was also frightened and broke into a cold sweat. He looked at the termite king and immediately knelt down. , said: "Father, I don't know that withholding military rations will cause great disaster. I will definitely do my best to collect rations and transport them to the southwest region from now on."
