After bathing and changing clothes, Wang Zhao came to the ancestral temple to worship.
In the ancestral temple of the Huai Kingdom, there was only a statue and a statue of Zijue. After entering it, Wang Zhao first lit incense, then came to the statue and paid homage devoutly.
"Er Zhao came to see his father. What's the matter with my father's dream?"
Curls of green smoke rose, and the next second an illusory shadow appeared in the air, and then a gentle voice sounded in his mind.
"Zhao'er, you're here!"
"Father, have you become a god?" Wang Zhao said tremblingly, his heart filled with surprise and excitement.
"Become a god? Maybe. Since my death, I have been favored by heaven and can continue the Yin and Shang destiny. However, this era is the era of Bangzhou's destiny. Our existence has changed the trajectory of Bangzhou's destiny, and we need luck to maintain it. , but you also have to bear the backlash of destiny."
"The responsibility given to me by God is to protect the continuation of civilization on this land and prevent it from being destroyed by outsiders."
"Father, are we going to protect Bangzhou?" Wang Zhao found it difficult to accept.
"Bangzhou does represent the destiny now, but the destiny will not always represent Bangzhou. When Bangzhou loses the destiny, someone else will get it, just like six hundred years ago, Xia lost the destiny and Chengtang revolution happened."
"Daxia, Yin, Shang, and Bangzhou will eventually pass away, and those who come after will also appear. This is the cycle of heaven."
"What we need to protect is the continuation of civilization on this land, not Bangzhou."
"This war has been won, and the Huai Kingdom has received enough luck. If we continue to fight, the backlash from Bang Zhou's destiny will be too strong, and you will not be able to bear it, and the gains will not be worth the losses."
"Father, I understand, I will handle it well." Wang Zhao said.
"The Huai Kingdom must try its best to continue to gain enough luck, so that it can protect its descendants. In addition, I will give you three artifacts to protect the Huai Kingdom and protect the continuation of the Huai Kingdom."
The next second, three spiritual lights flew from the curling green smoke into his hands. The aura dissipated, and three items appeared in front of him. The first one looked like a mini beacon, but it was a little different. The second one was an exquisite token, and the last one was a magical flame.
The mini beacon is shaped like a star observatory, the token is a recruiting order, and the last one is the sky fire that Zijue used.
"Artifacts can turn things around and reverse destiny, but they cannot be mastered by ordinary people. Every time they are used, a price must be paid. They must be used with caution."
After picking up these three artifacts, Wang Zhao knew how to use these three artifacts. After understanding their functions, he was even more shocked. It is indeed the power of heaven and earth that cannot be matched by humans. Each piece has the power to stabilize the country.
The most expensive of the three artifacts to protect the country is Sky Fire. If you use up this artifact, you will basically run out of life. As for the other observatory, it is a reusable prop. After the observatory is built, it can last for one year each time it is used.
The lowest cost is the Recruitment Order, which can recruit a talented person to serve the country.
"Okay, let's go! I'm leaving!"
"Father!" Wang Zhao said reluctantly.
"Haha, go ahead. When you pass away, you will naturally meet me."
Wang Zhao had no choice but to kowtow again, but when he raised his head, the shadow in the curling green smoke had disappeared, leaving only the three artifacts of the country.
Wang Zhao returned to the palace, ordered someone to invite Sikong, and then handed him a roll of bamboo slips.
"This bamboo slip records the specifications of the observatory. You personally led people to build it!"
Sikong took the bamboo slips, checked them over and said, "Your Majesty, I will take someone to do it right now."
Among the three artifacts that govern the country, the observatory needs to be built in advance, while the other two can be used directly. After the star observatory is built, it can be used when a major disaster occurs.
After all, normal natural disasters are foreshadowed. If used every year, all Zijue's direct descendants combined would probably not be enough.
After explaining these things, Wang Zhao asked the Prime Minister Wang Tao to stay and prepare various supplies, and he personally led a thousand people to the country of Tan. After the great victory at Huai River, Wei Yi led the allied forces of Huai and Xu, which had crossed the Huai River and captured Zhongwu State. Their troops were approaching the capital of Tan State, and the eastern countries could only rely on the strong walls of the capitals to resist.
Fortunately, the coalition forces of the princes were very fast. The Marquis of Qi led King Qin's army to come, while the Marquis of Jin detoured from the west, hoping to form a strategic influence on the Huai-Xu coalition. Although there are more than 100,000 people in Zhou Dynasty, there are dozens of princes in this army, so it is difficult to control them like arms. It cannot be compared with an elite division such as the Huai-Xu Allied Forces with high morale.
After Wang Zhao arrived at the front line, he didn't waste time and went directly to Wei Yi for discussion. After telling Wei Yi his idea of a truce, Wei Yi immediately agreed.
After the arrival of the Bangzhou coalition forces, Wei Yi had the intention to retreat. After all, the Huai-Xu coalition forces now totaled only 50,000, and this time they annexed Zhongwu State, defeated Bangzhou, and gained countless trophies. The trophies gained were too much. If If you continue to fight, it is very likely that you will suffer from indigestion.
"Your Majesty, even if you want a truce, we can't be the ones to speak, otherwise the Bangzhou Alliance Army will definitely feel that we can't hold on anymore, and will continue to fight us!" Wei Yi said.
"It is indeed possible." Wang Zhao said.
"Why don't we fight again, beat them until they hurt, and then negotiate for peace?" Wei Yi thought for a moment and said.
Wang Zhao nodded in agreement.
At this moment, the guard suddenly sent a message that Bangzhou had sent someone to negotiate.
...
Half a month ago, it was a week.
In the palace hall.
Ji Man asked: "Qi Gong, are we sure that we can defeat Huai State by gathering our Zhou army this time?"
"Your Majesty, the emperor's six armies have been newly recruited. Although the allied forces of the princes are numerous, they are not subordinate to each other. It will not be easy to defeat the Huai Kingdom." said the Marquis of Qi.
"What should we do?" Ji Man asked.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Although the Huaixu Kingdom is strong, we are the ones who really want to fight us and win." Qi Hou said: "The Huaixu Kingdom is not stupid. As long as we put on this posture, we will send people to fight with them. Talk to them and they will agree.”
"Peace talks?" Ji Man was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Isn't this time to destroy the Huai Kingdom?"
"Your Majesty, the Huai Kingdom is far away in the land of Huaisi. It is crisscrossed by waterways. Our army is not water-resistant. How easy is it to destroy it in one battle? Furthermore, the emperor's six armies have been rebuilt, and Wang Ji is weak. He needs to stabilize and regain his strength as soon as possible." The Tai Tai next to him Fu Shenhou said, although he did not finish his words, Ji Man knew the meaning behind his words. If the six armies of Emperor Wang Ji have not recovered their strength, how can they frighten the princes of the world?
Thinking of this, Ji Man nodded in agreement.
"But even if peace is to be negotiated, Tan's land must be handed over to them."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty!" Qi Hou said with cupped hands.
