Chapter 55 Past Events
First, I listened to a part of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and then three chapters of the vernacular version of "The Romance of the Gods", and it was already dark.
When leaving the palace, Ren Baqian hesitated whether to tell the Queen about Yanjing, but he was only half sure about Yanjing's affairs. If he made a mistake, it would probably affect his value in the Queen's heart. In the end, he decided to wait until his position was higher and then use this method to exchange for credit.
If the sweet potatoes do this yourself after they are ripe, the impact will not be great even if they fail.
Ren Baqian returned to the Beast Garden and found some mutton to eat before going back to bed.
I woke up the next morning, took the camera and walked around the beast garden, and took pictures of all the beautiful places I thought.
He dare not take pictures of the animals in the beast garden. After all, many of them are different from those on the earth. If they are taken back and posted online, they are too likely to have problems, and they may expose themselves at any time.
If you want to show off, you have to hide it. Ren Baqian's current situation is.
Thinking of the Empress's words last night, Ren Baqian suddenly became a little interested in what happened before the founding of the Kingdom of Da Yao, so he went to ask Teng Hulu and Tiedao.
The two of them were resting in a cool place while guarding several large wooden basins, all of which were soaking animal skins.
After hearing Ren Baqian's inquiry, the two of them told me some of the things they knew.
Most of the Da Yao people were mountain people, which is something Ren Baqian knew.
Seventy years ago, the Da Yao people that Ren Baqian saw now were actually ancient tribes, but they have always been called barbarians by the outside world. They mainly use villages as communities and are scattered among the 60,000 mountains in the west and south of Da Yao, making a living by hunting.
It was a continuous mountain range, vast and boundless, surrounding the west and most of the south of the current Dayao Kingdom, including countless beasts and many ancient villages.
There was originally a country called Haoguo in this plain. At that time, Haoguo had been in the founding of the country for more than 300 years and was in a luxurious atmosphere. The king of Haoguo was as lewd and inhumane as King Zhou of Shang and was very fond of merit.
The women of the ancient tribe are generally agile and outstanding in appearance. They are completely different from the weak women of Haoguo, and have a unique flavor.
The emperor of Hao Kingdom did not know who he heard, so he ordered the ancient clan to serve 100 women, otherwise he would send troops to attack.
The people of the ancient tribe were not under the jurisdiction of Hao Kingdom, and their violent tempers naturally ignored this, and even directly beat the person who conveyed the will and threw it down the mountain.
After receiving the reward, the Emperor of the Hao Kingdom was furious and immediately sent 50,000 troops to attack. He also ordered the slaughter of the mountain village and left the young woman to be sent back to the country for his enjoyment.
The ancient clan used villages as units, but they did not have much defense. They were immediately broken into five villages, and the people in the village were killed and the women were plundered. Moreover, the Haoguo army continued to march into the mountains and forests.
At this time, the ancient tribe realized that his anger was spreading in the mountains. The young and powerful ancient tribe who heard this news gathered together, but the time was too short, and not too many people could gather. So based on the characteristics of the mountains and forests, they laid out layers of interception.
After breaking through the third level of interception, Haoguo's army was intercepted by the fourth level and it was difficult to make progress.
Both sides can be said to have suffered a lot of losses.
Although the barbarians are strong in individual strength, they face a 50,000 army and intercept them again, losing thousands of people.
The Hao Kingdom's army was not suitable for forest combat, and the losses were even greater, with nearly ten thousand burying bones in that forest.
At this time, the person who had previously asked the Emperor Hao to summon women to give advice to Emperor Hao again.
Why did the ancient tribe dare not listen to the orders of Emperor Hao? It was because the barbarians made a living by hunting, wearing animal skins, and picking wild fruits. They had no desires from the outside and could live freely in the mountains and forests. It was difficult for Hao's country to send troops to attack, otherwise they would be like this now.
If the barbarians want to submit, they must make them unable to survive in the mountains and forests and have to listen to Haoguo.
I don’t know how many barbarians are in that mountain range, but there is one thing that everyone must have, which is salt. There is a piece of stone salt in the mountain range, and all the salt used by the ancient tribes are almost obtained from there.
As long as they poisoned the stone salt, those ancient tribes must listen to Emperor Hao's country if they wanted salt. They could be regarded as soldiers who defeated others without fighting.
After hearing this, Emperor Hao was immediately overjoyed and immediately followed this method.
At the same time, I also had another thought in my heart. Although Hao Kingdom was strong when facing the ancient tribe, it was still weaker than Yun Kingdom and Chen Kingdom in the east. If the young and strong ancient tribes could join the army, it would definitely have an extraordinary effect to attack cities and villages.
The final consequence is that the ancient tribe suffered heavy losses after poisoning in salt.
Among them, half of the village where Yapeng, the first emperor of the Dayao Kingdom, was found. After he was sad, he directly contacted other villages to resist, bypassed the tens of thousands of troops in the forest, and directly attacked a city near the mountains.
Now both sides can be said to be a bloody hatred.
At this time, a man came to surrender to the Yapeng, saying that his family was destroyed by Emperor Hao and his family wanted to take revenge.
At first, the cliff was still in charge of the other party and guarding against the other party. Later, he saw that the man had been sincerely giving advice and destroyed the 40,000 army under his plan, so he began to trust him.
At this time, the anger of the ancient clan had disappeared a little, and the 40,000 troops were destroyed and there was no survival crisis. However, the stone salt was full of poison, and they could only plunder the city to obtain stone salt. Therefore, the villages must also unite and plunder everywhere.
I have to say that this is what the king of Hao Kingdom did, and he was so fucked.
The losses of the ancient tribe began to increase.
At this time, the man gave Yapeng another advice, saying that this was not a solution, and he could not always rely on grabbing salt. It would be better to occupy a few cities first, and then have the capital to negotiate after defending it, and then gain salt from Chen State of Yun State.
When I heard that Yapeng, it was indeed the case.
Then he contacted some villages deeper in the mountains, used that man as his military advisor, went down the mountain to capture the city and captured the villages, and captured four cities in Haoguo in a row.
Since the 50,000 troops in the southwest of Hao Kingdom have been completely destroyed, other troops have to guard the east and north. At the same time, because the Emperor Hao Kingdom is debauchery, the local rebellion has started and sent troops to suppress it, and the domestic troops are insufficient.
Moreover, the Emperor Hao Kingdom thought that the barbarians were just stealing some things, and the key was to quell the rebels, so he ignored these barbarians for a while, resulting in these cities being captured without much effort.
At this time, the military advisor spoke again. The ancient clan's life is in the hands of others. No matter who is the emperor, if they do not exchange salt for the barbarians, they will have to rebel again in the end, and this will never end.
And now is a great opportunity. The upper class of Hao Kingdom is corrupt, the army is not strong, and the country is full of chaos. It is better to directly capture the palace and kill the culprit under the knife. A country can be established. In the future, the descendants of the barbarians can live and work in peace and contentment.
At that time, under the planning of this man, whether it was to eliminate the 40,000 troops or capture the city, the barbarians were not seriously injured, and everyone trusted him very much, so they were persuaded.
People from the ancient tribe who had never had this idea were all moved after hearing this idea. The prosperity they saw in various cities these days made them envious.
This person has made suggestions and his current military strength is somewhat insufficient. He also needs to contact the ancient tribe deeper in the mountains to send troops.
At the same time, the attack now will definitely make Haoguo focus on them.
It is better to occupy these cities first and make an attitude of no longer attacking, and contact the merchants of Yunguo and Chenguo to exchange materials from these cities for salt. In this way, the Emperor of Haoguo will definitely relax his vigilance and eliminate the rebels in the country first.
After hearing this, Yapeng thought this idea was good. Although the barbarians deep in the 60,000 mountains had other ways to obtain salt and were not so easy to be persuaded, he still sent several troops to convince them.
As he said, Emperor Hao did not expect that these ancient tribes would dare to make up for him, and all his energy was devoted to suppressing the rebellion.
Next eight months passed. Within half a year, the Gu tribesmen were in these cities and did not attack again, which also relieved Emperor Hao. The war in his colleagues became more and more intense, and he mobilized all the troops that could be mobilized to suppress the rebellion.
Only a small number of troops guarded the north and the east.
At this moment, a large number of ancient warriors walked out of the deep mountains, joined with Yapeng and others, and headed towards the imperial city. These ancient warriors from the depths of the mountains, because their living environment was more harsh and various beasts appeared, they were even stronger.
During this period, I encountered the city and wade through the water. People opened the city gates in the two most difficult dangerous places in the middle of the night. It turned out that the military advisor had arranged people inside when everyone didn't know it.
It took ten days for the barbarian army to attack the imperial city and finally executed Emperor Hao in public.
Yapeng and the ancient tribe were originally just to avenge their anger and loot daily necessities, but under the guidance and promotion of this military advisor, Hao Kingdom was destroyed.
When Emperor Hao saw the military advisor, he was extremely shocked. When he knew that he was the military advisor of the ancient clan, he was even more crazy and shouted everything out.
Only then did everyone realize that the person who had provoked the emperor to ask for 100 women from the ancient clan and poisoned the stone salt was actually the military advisor.
The military advisor did not stop or defend himself, and allowed Emperor Hao to tell everything.
After Emperor Hao finished speaking, he gave another news that shocked everyone. There were several rebellions in Hao's country arranged by him, and other rebels were also in contact with him.
The purpose is to destroy Haoguo.
He planned all this for fifteen years. With the two years of war planning, a total of seventeen years have passed.
At this time, it can be said that everyone was fooled by him, whether it was the Emperor of Hao Kingdom, the ancient tribe, or even the rebels.
