Guo State was located south of Chong State and was a country of counts in the Central Plains Province.
It may not be well-known in the current context, but in the Zhou Dynasty, there was a very famous idiom, "false paths destroy Guo".
Today's Guo Bo is not as miserable as his descendants. He was beaten into a background by the Jin Kingdom and moved around the country four or five times. The current Guo Bo is also a well-known figure after the defeat of Northern Xinjiang.
But at this moment, Uncle Guo was very angry and angry.
"Young man Mengchang, you are not a son of a man! He wanted to summon us to Mengcheng for an alliance. Why didn't you tell me that he was in Chongcheng at that time? I just returned to Guodu and didn't even have time to enter my house. He called Mengchang on the back foot. Cheng, I suspect he deliberately targeted me!"
"It's snowing so heavily, and it's too cruel for an old man like me, who is over fifty years old, to go back and forth like this."
Listening to their master's accusation, the ministers of the Guo Kingdom remained silent. Who told you to run too fast? Even the officials in Chongcheng couldn't catch up with your desire to go home.
"I just won't go. I'll see what Meng Chang can do to me."
The prime minister was shocked and turned pale, and immediately stepped forward to persuade him: "My lord, no, you are not afraid of the slow journey, but you have to go. As the saying goes, there are three things that make a new official take office. This new prince cannot establish his authority after taking office." Is that so? You have already insulted Meng Bohou in Chongcheng. Now, if you insult him again, wouldn’t it be a way to give him a chance to establish his power?"
Uncle Guo rolled his little eyes and suddenly realized that he just felt that it might not be good for him to show his timidity, so he said arrogantly: "Huh, I see that Shuzi is young, and I don't want to bully the younger ones. Otherwise, I would be like this. Not only will I not go, I will also call on everyone not to go. Young people do not understand the rules and it is simply unreasonable."
"Ah, yes, yes, the Lord is righteous, the Lord is righteous!"
At this time, Meng Chang didn't know how much drama Guo Bo still had in mind. He had already dragged his hollowed out weak body on the road back to Meng Ji Kingdom.
"Chang, why have you always looked like this with kidney deficiency since you came out of Chongcheng? I didn't see a woman in your house at night."
Tantaiyu, who was walking with Mengchang, teased and joked.
"Could it be that you..., God, that's not the case, Meng Bohou, you are already a noble prince, but you still..."
"Well, if I can't wait for the Deng sisters, you can take a concubine. I have three little sisters. The eldest sister's butt is big enough to give birth to children. The second sister is the most cute and cute. The third sister is beautiful and graceful. You choose one. Bar."
"I recommend my eldest sister, who is about the same age as you. She is already a mother of two children. She has been kept in Mengcheng and can give you five or six healthy tiger cubs."
Looking at Tantai Yu chattering along the way, Meng Chang really had no energy to talk to him. Unexpectedly, what he said was getting more and more outrageous, so he immediately rolled his eyes, turned Yu Qilin and walked to the other side.
"Hey, don't leave. If you don't want to, brother, I will risk my life. I will give you all three sisters. At worst, I will go to my father and tell him that a high-quality sister-in-law like you is very popular in today's world."
In the past, I thought this guy was familiar and could chat with anyone, but after getting to know him, he turned out to be a talkative man. Meng Chang regretted a little why he agreed to go with him.
So he simply shut up, calmed down, and looked at the water god's divinity hanging on the water bloodline in his body, exuding the gurgling water.
Cangming: (1/4): Obtain the qualification to ascend the water system. In the first stage, obtain the power of water and suppress the water veins.
Mengchang was a little moved. It must be a coincidence of fate. He had just had a fight with the Dragon King of the East China Sea and gained such divine power. Wasn't this tempting him to go to the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas to have fun?
However, Mengchang didn't understand why there was a bear claw on the water god Cangming. Could it be...
Is the source of Gonggong's ability based on tardigrades? Are tardigrades also members of the bear family? Can he also be a water god?
I couldn't figure it out. After studying for a long time, Meng Chang couldn't figure out what the hell this bear claw was. On the contrary, every time he activated the bear claw, he seemed to have endless power in his body. When he saw the top of the mountain, he wanted to go up and try it. Can you carry it and walk like flying?
Withdrawing his thoughts and looking at the outline of the Daizong Mountains that could already be seen in front of him, Meng Chang's tired body rekindled a trace of fire. He reached out to interrupt Tantai Yu, who was still recommending his three younger sisters, and spoke softly.
"Let your people speed up. After passing Daizong, we will reach Taicheng. We will spend the night in Taicheng tonight. After three days of marching, we will almost reach Mengcheng."
"Speaking of which, the time I spent traveling back and forth in Mengcheng since my promotion was not as long as the time we spent fighting in Yancheng. When we get to Mengcheng, I'll treat you to a drink."
……………………
Northern Xinjiang is undergoing an alternation of old and new power, and Dong Bohou also feels a palpitation in his heart at this moment.
"Wen Huan, you can run away by yourself, my father really can't run anymore."
"No, we have to go together. I am your son. How can there be a child in this world who abandons his father and seeks a living alone?"
Jiang Huanchu looked at Jiang Wenhuan with a determined look, and felt endless annoyance in his heart, regretting that he should not have listened to Meng Jibo's advice.
Mengchang gave two options that day. One way was to go north to defend the Pingling Kingdom's offensive. If the war went well, then destroy the Pingling Kingdom. The other way was to go south and lead the princes to recover the Huaidu of Dongyi and the south of the Huaihe River. Many tribes.
After all, he was greedy for profit and chose to go south to occupy the more fertile Dongyi land, regardless of the safety of his own people.
Originally, the war went smoothly at first, but without the resourceful Dongyi leader Li Wu, Donglu's eldest son Jiang Wenhuan personally led his troops to victory, and defeated the leaderless Dongyi people to retreat hundreds of miles.
Before Xueluo, they even captured Huaidu, the core capital of the Dongyi Alliance.
It can be said that the East Shandong Allied Forces were in the limelight for a while. Their self-confidence was swollen. They immediately accelerated the pace and lengthened the front line. Even the princes were greedy and bet on whose army could capture more land faster. The 100,000-strong army was directly divided into ten There were several groups of people, some like Donglu who had 30,000 people, and some princes dared to chase ten thousand people with only a thousand people.
The classic moment of replicating Meng Jibo's shocking battle seemed to be right in front of us. Everyone was excited, especially when the news came that the Pingling Kingdom was destroyed and Meng Jibo attacked the mountain and destroyed the temple, the Donglu Allied Forces reached a collective climax. .
I don't know which grandson it was, but he shouted: "Uncle Meng Ji is so strong that even the Dragon King of the East China Sea dare not act arrogantly in front of him. We will also show our majesty and let the gods bow down for us."
Then, the nightmare came...
I don't know which idiot set fire to the Huaihu Shuijun Temple. The monkey under the Huaihe River was not in a very good mood. A flood hit, and the Donglu Allied Forces who were still proudly plundering the land were directly hit.
These floods seemed to have eyes. Huaiyi, which was located in a low-lying area, was not flooded. The Donglu army hiding in the mountains was soaked in water. You must know that this was the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, when the cold was in full swing.
After the flood, there was a mass typhoid fever. Taking advantage of the situation, the Huaiyi people beat the drowned dogs and chased the previously arrogant Donglu Allied Forces. They followed and covered them up and drove them to the vicinity of the fire battlefield in Hongze.
"Father, hold on a little longer. There is Zhong Wu ahead of us. When we get back to Zhong Wu, we will be safe."
Jiang Wenhuan took the remaining thousands of soldiers, and gathered around him a large number of princes who had gathered by chance. They trudged over the mountains and ridges, and relied on his own bravery to kill off the pursuers wave after wave.
At this time, Jiang Wenhuan called his father, but did not hear a response.
"Father, how are you? Hold on, Dad."
Not far behind him, several soldiers weakly supported the noble Marquis Jiang. The old Marquis' body seemed to have no bones and he could not stand up at all.
Jiang Wenhuan turned around and gently touched his father's forehead, which felt hot.
"Quickly, send the doctor..."
There are no doctors anywhere in this wilderness. Even if there were doctors, it would be difficult to get herbal medicine to boil for Marquis Jiang.
With hot tears streaming from his eyes, the young Jiang Wenhuan punched the century-old beech tree angrily, filled with regret.
How could he, who was familiar with military literature, not know the taboos of dividing troops? How could he, who was born in an upper-class society, not know that there were supernatural beings in this world? However, they had almost trampled all these taboos that should not be committed this time. How could he not hate them? , I only regret that I was young and energetic and could not effectively stop the friendly troops from seeking death, but instead followed them eagerly to try.
"Put my father on your back, everyone, hold on. Return to Zhongwu, and everyone will be rewarded with ten gold coins."
Perhaps it was the desire for life, or perhaps the longing for the ten pieces of gold, that the group of people burst out with an astonishing will to survive, and managed to escape into Zhongwu City before the Huaiyi army caught up.
The heavy snow fell, and there were only 30,000 princes and soldiers who returned to Zhongwu City one after another. The remaining 70,000 either froze to death under the Huai River or died on the way to escape.
After more than ten days of recuperation, Jiang Huanchu managed to survive by a narrow margin. The first thing the old man did after regaining his strength was to climb onto Zhong Wu's altar.
Dragging his sick body, he cut his palms open and prayed to heaven on the altar as a descendant of Emperor Yan and a direct descendant of the Jiang family, asking for help from the Haotian God, and denounced the atrocities of Huaihe River Lord Wuzhiqi.
The sound of worshiping the heavens, accompanied by the accusations of the human race, soon reached the nine heavens and rang in the Lingxiao Palace.
"Chang Geng, is it popular to complain recently? The Dragon King just finished accusing Yuxu Palace and the human race, and now the human race comes to accuse him again. Who is Wuzhiqi?"
Taibai Jinxing wiped the sweat from his forehead and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, Wuzhi Qiyuan was a strange monster under the Huaguo Mountain in the Tongbai Mountains in ancient times. He was also a member of the strange beasts in the mountains and seas. He once had an affair with Dayu when he was controlling the floods. Dayu was an enemy, and he often pulled out the water-fixing needle and diverted water from the Huaihe River to pour into the river mouth. Therefore, he was suppressed by Dayu under the Turtle Mountain of Huaihe River. A few years ago, Huaiyi secretly untied the golden bell on Wuzhiqi's nose, so Only then can I have the ability to bring disaster to the people again."
God Haotian sat back on the throne, looking a little bored: "A mere water monster requires my help from heaven. Aren't there many capable people in the human race? Can't they solve it on their own? Don't worry about him, let them solve it on their own, just to fill the gap. List of Gods."
Seeing that the Emperor of Heaven had no intention of intervening, Taibai Jinxing hesitated to speak. After thinking for a moment, he finally said bravely: "Your Majesty, Donglu Kingdom seems to be your believer."
"Huh? Aren't all humans in the world my followers?"
"They are different. In addition to the normal sacrifices to their ancestors, Donglu does not sacrifice to the God of Autumn or Hou Tu, but only to the sky, which is you. If other human races sacrifice to the gods, then they only sacrifice to you and your faithful believer!"
"..."
"Bold evildoer, I, the Heavenly Court, governs the three realms, and it is my duty to maintain the peace of the three realms. This rogue monkey dares to cause harm to the common people, and it has not been eradicated until now. This is your dereliction of duty."
"Come here, send an order to the giant spirit god, lead 10,000 heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, and order him to be beheaded within ten days to apologize."
Taibai Jinxing was shocked and immediately reminded: "Your Majesty, Wuzhiqi cannot be killed. He is the incarnation of the Huai River. In the past, Dayu could only seal it and did not dare to cause problems with the Huai River."
"Then suppress it, so it is said that the matter of becoming a god in heaven is imminent. It is really strange that such an evil spirit can become a god."
Taibai Jinxing did not dare to answer, so she could only nod silently, then left and went straight to the Tianmen Hall where the Giant Spirit God was, to read out the decree.
The giant spirit god who took the job out of nowhere felt something was wrong. He always felt that he and the monkey were somehow at odds with each other. When he heard the terms Huaguoshan and monkey, he felt a chill in his back.
However, the order of the Emperor of Heaven had been issued, so the Giant Spirit God summoned his good brother, Wang Lingguan, the envoy under Emperor Zhenwu, and together they ordered 10,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, and headed for the Huai River in a mighty manner.
