Wang Yue stood on the altar wearing a royal robe, looking down at the dozens of miles of camps below, filled with pride for a moment.
"Old ancestor, maybe my talents are mediocre, far inferior to Duke Xuan and Duke Wu, let alone Duke Wen and Duke Wu, but Yue has an extraordinary heart!"
Zijue looked at his heir in silence and said nothing. Everyone has the right to choose their own destiny, and Zijue did not interfere with Wang Yue's choice.
When everything was ready, Wang Yue began to offer sacrifices to the sky. This kind of sacrificial ceremony has been held almost every year since he was born, and Wang Yue was already very familiar with it.
Soon Wang Yue completed the sacrifice. After everything was ready, [Earth Level·Sky Fire Card] was instantly activated, and at the same time Wang Yue also activated [Human Level·Borrowing the East Wind] at the same time.
Originally, with the backlash of Bang Zhou's destiny, activating human-level items was a huge burden for Zijue's descendants, requiring a lifespan of five to ten years, while earth-level items even took twenty years to start. The sky fire stuck among the earth-level props is also on the upper level, so naturally more is needed. If the two props are used together, Wang Yue will have to pay at least thirty-five years of his life.
As the heaven-sacrifice ceremony was completed, a strong wind swept across and blew towards the opposite side of the camp. In the Jin army's camp, flags and flags were broken, horses were overturned, and people were turned on their backs.
Immediately afterwards, a fireball suddenly fell from the sky. The fireball drew an arc in the sky, and then instantly fell into the Jin army camp. Suddenly, the tents in the camp burst into flames.
Countless Jin soldiers in the camp were burned to death at this moment. The fireball fell to the ground and flames flew up in all directions. Immediately afterwards, the strong wind swept in, picking up the sky fire and sweeping towards the camp behind.
The strong wind swept the sky fire, like a fire dragon, roaring and flying. The fire dragon rolled past, one Jin camp after another was ignited, and in a short time, more than ten camps turned into a sea of flames.
When the Huai army under the altar saw the miracle in front of them, they were all dumbfounded, but then they were pleasantly surprised.
"God bless the Huai Kingdom, may the Huai Kingdom live forever!"
"God bless the Huai Kingdom, may the Huai Kingdom live forever!"
"God bless the Huai Kingdom, may the Huai Kingdom live forever!"
The morale of the Huai State was greatly boosted. The generals who had been waiting for a long time immediately ordered an attack. The Huai State army dispatched without any hesitation and rushed directly towards the Jin State Camp.
Sun Shuao looked at the raging fire dragon in the distance, and was equally shocked. He murmured: "The fire from the sky and the strong wind are helping the battle. Is the legend true?"
The history books of the Huai Kingdom record that the ancestor King Wen received the help of destiny and had the ability to summon heavenly fire. However, the history books of other kingdoms only record that King Huai Wen was only an ordinary person with great military skills. He was able to establish the Huai Kingdom only because Zhou had fought for several years. , the sergeant was exhausted, so he did not attack.
Now it seems that the history books of Huai Kingdom are very likely to be true!
After the shock, Sun Shuao quickly recovered and began to command the army to attack. Attack the coalition of princes led by the Jin State.
Sweeping by the strong wind, the sky fire spread rapidly, but in a moment, all the tents of the coalition of princes stretching for more than ten miles were ignited. The strong wind and sky fire raged for a full two-quarters of an hour before disappearing.
The coalition of princes led by Jin completely collapsed.
On the altar, Wang Yue felt relieved as he looked at the raging sky fire. Although summoning sky fire is powerful, its range is limited. The Jin camp stretches for more than ten miles, and the camps transporting grain and grass behind are even further away. Summoning sky fire can only burn down a few camps at most.
If the Jin Kingdom decides to fight, it will not be safe. Therefore, Wang Yue jointly inspired "Borrowing the East Wind" in order to expand the attack range.
Sure enough, the wind helped the fire, and the fire swept across Jin for more than ten miles, completely burning down the Jin camp.
Wang Yue breathed a sigh of relief and was about to stand up and walk off the altar. Suddenly, his vision went dark and he fell over. The attendants under the high platform were shocked when they saw Wang Yue fall to the ground. They climbed up the altar with hands and feet and lifted Wang Yue down. .
Sun Shuao's face changed when he saw Wang Yue fainting. He immediately ordered people to send Wang Yue to the camp, and then ordered that no one could enter. At the same time, he declared that the monarch was tired from worshiping heaven and needed to rest, and no one was allowed to disturb him.
The news that Wang Yue is in coma must not spread, otherwise this high-profile event will
The morale of the Huai army, which sacrificed their lives to kill the enemy, would definitely be affected.
At this time, even if Wang Yue died on the spot, the news would not be able to spread, and it would have to wait until the end of the battle. Sun Shuao used his own prestige to forcibly suppress other officials and nobles in the court, and commanded the army to quickly defeat the coalition of princes led by Jin.
Originally swept by skyfire and the camp burned down, the Jin allied forces were demoralized and panicked. The army could be said to be in chaos and unable to resist at all. Once the 300,000-strong army collapsed, even Jin Hou Chong'er was unable to regroup the army and had to flee in embarrassment under the protection of his confidants.
Hundreds of thousands of troops fled on the Huaibei Plain, with the Huai army pursuing them behind them. The coalition forces of the princes did not dare to stop at all. They routed for hundreds of miles and escaped from the Huai border before stopping.
After Sun Shuao let the army pursue for dozens of miles, he began to send messengers to recall the army. It was not because he was unwilling to continue the pursuit, but because the monarch was in a coma and there was still war in the south, so he had to give up the idea of seriously damaging the allied forces of the princes.
After the army returned, Sun Shuao left a part to guard Xiapi, captured the defeated troops, cleaned the battlefield, buried the corpses, and then led the army back to prepare to deal with the Chu-Vietnam coalition in the south.
After the victory, the army immediately prepared to return. At this time, Wang Yue also woke up from his coma.
"Your Majesty, you're awake!" The attendant next to him saw Wang Yue waking up, and quickly stepped forward to help him up, and sent someone to invite Sun Shuao over.
Wang Yue only felt weak in his body, and his breathing felt labored, as if he had entered old age directly. Feeling the changes in his body, Wang Yue knew that this was the backlash of his use of the Divine Artifact of Destiny, but he did not regret it!
"Your Majesty, you're awake, I'm late!" Sun Shu'ao hurried over.
"The Prime Minister is not late, please take a seat!" Wang Yue waved his hand feebly.
"How is the Jin army doing?"
"The Jin army was defeated and fled north in a hurry. After being defeated for thousands of miles, it was no longer possible. I ordered the army to stop pursuing and return." Sun Shuao said.
"Okay, okay, since we have fled, let's not chase them. The Chu-Vietnam coalition is more important!" Wang Yue said with a smile.
"With the Prime Minister at the helm of the army, I feel relieved. I will leave this expedition to the Prime Minister!"
"Old minister, I will certainly live up to your Majesty's trust!" Sun Shuao said.
Wang Yue looked at the other people in the big tent, then waved his hands and said: "You go out first, I have important matters to discuss with the Prime Minister!"
"Here!" Everyone bowed and left.
"What important matters do you want to give your Majesty?" Sun Shuao asked.
"Although we need the help of Heaven to defeat the enemy in this sacrifice to heaven, how can we be without danger with the help of Heaven's power? I am afraid that I will not die soon, so I ask the Prime Minister to take care of the new king!"
"Your Majesty is in the prime of life. All you need to do is cultivate yourself well. The old ministers will definitely devote themselves to assisting you." Sun Shuao was shocked.
"Prime Minister, don't panic, this is God's will! You can't disobey it, and please also ask Prime Minister to take care of the new king!" Wang Yue said, grabbing Sun Shuao's hand.
Sun Shuao nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely repay you with death!"
After hearing this, Wang Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
...
In the 20th year of King Xiang of Zhou Dynasty, Jin Guoguo allied and dominated the world. He ordered the princes to attack Huaihe and fought in the north of Huaihe River. On that day, Huai Gong offered sacrifices to heaven, and a fire dragon descended into the world and swept across dozens of miles. The Jin camp was burned with fire, and Huai sent troops. The Jin army was defeated and stopped after thousands of miles. "Historical Records·Zhou Benji"
...
It is recorded in the history books that when the ancestors of the royal family were fighting with the coalition forces of the Jin princes, they held an altar ceremony, and then the sky fire fell, which led to the Jin army's defeat.
Most scholars believe that this is a forgery of later generations, and some experts speculate that it was deliberately done by the royal family to increase the mystery. However, after the excavation of a large number of tombs from the Spring and Autumn Period, many bronze inscriptions also recorded this event, and various signs indicate that this seems to be true.
There are also records of other supernatural beings of his ancestors, but the royal family has never responded to these things. Therefore, the authenticity of the historical records has not yet been determined. ——"General History of China·Ancient History·Zhou"
