News of the death of the Termite King soon spread to the Southwest Region. General Bai Feng was very sad after questioning, knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty." Then he stopped crying, faced the generals, and said: "Continue to harass the enemy." At this time, war drums sounded around the southwest city like thunder. . The guard had become accustomed to it and relaxed his vigilance.

At night, General Bai Feng sent troops to ambush outside the city. Under the cover of darkness, some soldiers secretly ran under the city tower, threw up silver hooks, hooked onto the battlements, and climbed up the city tower. Facing the guards on the tower, he raised his knife and dropped it, blood splattering. The city gate opened, and the army ambushing outside the city entered the southwest city. At this time, General Fierce Ant was sleeping. Hearing the sound of horse hooves outside the general's mansion, he stood up, took off his sword and rushed out, saying: "Where did this army come from?" The deputy general was guarding the side, watching. Looking at the flames filling the sky, he said: "The enemy took advantage of the night to sneak attack on the Southwest City. General, run away." The deputy general covered General Fierce Ant and fought out of the city, and the Southwest Territory fell.

When General Bai Feng was patrolling the city, there were injured soldiers on both sides. The sergeant rushed forward and kicked them away, saying: "You dare to block the general's way." He was about to pull out the long sword from his waist to threaten. General Bai Feng said: "Don't be rude, retreat." General Bai Feng ordered the soldiers behind him to carry these wounded soldiers down for treatment. Facing the generals and their soldiers behind him, he said: "They are fighting for the country, so we must treat them well." They must not be rude."

The general loved his soldiers as much as his sons. The night was cool. General Bai Feng personally inspected the military camp and saw that these sergeants were not covered with quilts. He bent down and covered them with quilts. In order not to disturb their sleep, he walked out of the military camp lightly. Standing under the night, looking up at the stars in the sky, this may be the temporary tranquility after the war. Some generals were very dissatisfied with the general's actions and asked: "They killed our brothers. Go and look outside the city. There are rivers of blood. Those are the lives of our soldiers!" General Bai Feng replied like this. , said: "Whether it is the enemy or our side, they are all raised by their parents. They all have parents, wives and children, and they all have a harmonious and beautiful family. The war has destroyed their families, their wives and children are separated, and they have left their homes. Who wouldn’t be heartbroken? As the art of war goes, the purpose of war is to stop the war, and defeating the enemy without a fight is the best policy. To defeat a powerful enemy is not to conquer the city but to conquer the enemy’s heart. Surrender, only in this way can we reduce more casualties, rebuild our homes and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. This is an experience in the history of human war, and it is worth learning and emulating for us Zerg."

After the ant clan captured the termite clan's capital city, Duyou, they buried the body of the termite king in the royal mausoleum and gave him the posthumous title of King Wu. The word "武" can reflect his lifetime achievements. At this time, Jia Yi was still thinking about his dream of becoming a high official of the ant clan. He entered the palace to see the military advisor and swordsmith, and knelt down and said, "General." The military advisor and swordsmith sat next to the throne and said, "You are eloquent. , but you have no principles in doing things, are proud, self-righteous, and greedy for wealth. You will not be a loyal minister. Today you have betrayed the termite tribe, and you will definitely betray the ant tribe in the future. How can the ant tribe tolerate you, a disloyal and unjust insect like you? ." Facing the soldiers on the left and right, he said: "Take it down, behead it and show it to the public tomorrow, confiscate all the property and confiscate it, and escort the insect back to the ant tribe's homeland, waiting for the king's decision." Jia Yan looked at the people standing on the left and right. The armored soldier looked at the swordsmith again and said: "You don't talk about integrity. I want to see the tail ant, the tail ant." The swordsmith said: "There is no need to talk about integrity for a little bug like you, take it." Jia Yizheng said: "Don't forget, it was me who opened the city gate that allowed you to successfully capture the termite capital. I am the hero of your ant tribe. You are just trying to kill the donkey." The swordsmith stood up and walked out, saying: " Drag it out and put it on death row. It will be executed tomorrow." Jia Yan was dragged out by the soldiers on both sides.

General Fierce Ant escaped from the southwest region and rode towards the capital of the termite tribe, Duyou. Entering the capital of the termite clan, he knelt in front of the swordsmith and said, "Commander, the Southwest Territory is lost." The swordsmith walked forward and said, "What did you say?" General Fierce Ant said, "The Southwest Territory is lost. ." The swordsmith was shocked after hearing this and asked: "How did the southwest region lose it?" The fierce ant said: "The enemy is beating drums from all sides to build momentum to confuse our army and attack me when my defenders relax their vigilance. Southwest Territory." The swordsmith pointed angrily at General Fierce Ant and said: "Because of your carelessness, the Southwest Territory fell. Fierce Ant, what crime do you deserve?" Fierce Ant stood up and said: "The military advisor will give me another five hundred thousand troops. , I will definitely take the Southwest Territory." The swordsmith said: "The terrain of the Southwest Territory is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. How will you capture the Southwest Territory? After General Bai Feng suffered a disastrous defeat in the Grand Canyon, he is more cautious in using troops. You He is not a match for General Bai Feng. There are still 1.8 million troops in the Grand Canyon, and a million troops in the Grand Canyon can be mobilized, led by General Yi. The old general Xuanju is left to lead an army of 800,000 to defend the city and strictly guard against the enemy. The dog is anxious to jump over the wall and attack our Grand Canyon." After saying that, he took out the tiger talisman, faced General Fierce Ant, and said: "Take this tiger talisman and rush to the Grand Canyon to mobilize troops immediately. Follow the authority when the matter is urgent, and I will report to the king afterwards." Fierce Ant The general took the tiger charm, rode out of the city, and rushed to the Grand Canyon to mobilize his troops.

Jia Yan did many evil things in the territory of the termite tribe, oppressing the people and competing for profits with them, which aroused public anger. After the swordsmith led his army to invade Duyou, he first eliminated this harm for the people. This move made the people angry. Jia Yan sat in a prison car and was taken to the execution ground. The people lined the streets to greet him and watched what would happen to Jia Yan who was responsible for the trouble? They all stood around the execution ground. Jia Yan walked onto the execution ground and was tied to the execution stake. He took off his fine clothes and exposed his whole body. Only a pair of big pants were left on his body to cover his shame. He covered his body with a fishing net, exposing his fat body. First, he tore off the two transparent wings behind it, and blood spurted out. Jia Yi fainted and then poured cold water on it to wake it up. The swordsmith was the executioner. Looking at the shiny silver knife in the executioner's hand, Jia Yi felt chills go down his spine and turned pale with fright. He faced the swordsmith and said, "General, please let this slave go." Give me a way to live. I am afraid, I am afraid of death. I am willing to be your slave and let you do whatever you want. I beg you, please give me a way to live." The swordsmith stood up and faced Jia Yan on the execution ground, angrily He said: "Did you ever feel pity for the termites when they were doing evil? You treated the people like grass and grass. This general sentenced you to Ling Chi, which means you will be cut into pieces with a thousand swords." The people gnashed their teeth at it and shouted: "Kill. Get it, kill it." The sharp knife in the executioner's hand slowly approached. Seeing the approaching sharp knife, Jia Yan was extremely panicked and said: "No, no, I beg you, please!" The sharp knife The knife was cut from its lower abdomen, and blood was slowly flowing down. The cry broke its throat and was so heartbreaking. Cut off the fat bit by bit and put it on the plate until the sound stops and only the bones are left. The spirit was still alive, and more than 1,300 cuts were made to its body, with the last cut killing its life. The people rushed to drink its blood, eat its flesh, and sleep on its skin, which shows how much the people resented it. The swordsmith led his troops into Jia's house and confiscated all his property. His data shocked the people. He distributed the food that had been taken away from the people to the people, encouraged agriculture, and production was quickly restored. A few years later, the termite population increased and it became a business center. In addition to Qingshui River, Duyou is also one of the important city-states of the ant tribe. The tall city wall was demolished and a state pastor was established.

The Southwest Region is an isolated city with no reinforcements or food supplies. General Yi led a million-strong army to besiege the southwest region, encircling it instead of attacking, thereby wearing down the enemy's forces. General Fierce Ant was really puzzled by this, so he entered the military camp and asked: "The southwest region is an isolated city, why didn't the general capture it?" General Yi sat on the commander's seat, taking his time, fearing that he had a strategy in mind. , said: "The southwest region is an isolated city with no food assistance. However, the terrain of the southwest region is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is not suitable to attack by force. If we attack our army by force, we will lose our troops and generals, which is not good for our army. The defender of the southwest region is General Bai Feng , after the disastrous defeat in the Grand Canyon, it will be more cautious in its use of troops and will definitely not be able to escape. Although our army is several times larger and it is sufficient to attack the city, the southwest region is impregnable and it is difficult to capture it in a short period of time. It requires termites. The lobbyists of the tribe persuaded him to surrender, and tried to reduce the casualties of the soldiers as much as possible. I hope General Bai Feng will understand the current situation." General Fierce Ant recommended Xian Termite and said: "General, Xian Termite is a fellow villager of General Bai Feng and an official in the same dynasty. , it is most appropriate for the termites to lobby." General Yishi said: "Okay, hurry up and announce that the termites have entered the military tent."

The termite entered the military tent and kowtowed, "General." General Yishi said, "Termite the string is not polite." When the termite raised its head, it gave the insect a gentle and elegant feeling, the image of a Confucian. General Yi said: "Sir, would you like to persuade General Bai Feng." Xian Termite saluted the general and said, "General, I dare not promise you whether you can convince General Bai Feng. You can only go and try." General Shi was happy after hearing this and said: "Okay, sir, just go. If your persuasion is successful, I can assure you that General Bai Feng will still have the rank of general, and will advise the king in the court to control the southwest region." Create a continent and make General Bai Feng the state pastor. The southwest region is still under the jurisdiction of General Bai Feng." Xian Termite said: "With these words from the general, the subordinate officers can go with peace of mind." Then he withdrew, General Yishi then walked out, stood outside the military tent, looked at the departing figure of Xian termite, and said with emotion: "Maybe this is a gentleman."

Xian termite walked alone to the southwest city, stood under the city tower and shouted to the defenders on top of the city tower, saying: "Xian termite asks to see General Bai Feng, please open the city gate and let me in." The words on the city wall said The soldiers entered the general's mansion and reported, "General, there is an insect called Xian termite outside the city who wants to see the general." General Bai Feng stood up and walked out, saying: "Open the city gate to welcome sir." He then ordered behind him: " Let’s have a big feast.” After a while, the city gate opened and the termites entered the city. General Bai Feng walked out and saw a string termite walking towards him. Like a breeze, it might be a god. General Bai Feng walked up and said, “Xian Bai.” ." Xian Termite said: "I am in peace with the world in the court, and I have never given any advice to the king. Even in the court, it is as if I don't exist, as if I haven't seen the general for a long time. "Yes." General Bai Feng said: "It is the demeanor of a gentleman to emerge from the mud and remain unstained. Please sit down with me and Xian Bai."
