Chapter 8: Grandpa's Clever Trick
King You of Zhou, in order to please Bao Si, came up with all sorts of tricks, causing the entire country to be in a state of chaos. The civil and military officials saw that this was no ordinary second-in-command, as he could even stage a fake alarm to deceive the feudal lords. Most officials had already seen that the country was doomed and chose to resign.
But there is one person who absolutely cannot choose silence.
He was the father of Shēn Hòu's son, the former crown prince Yí Zhì — Shēn Hóu.
From the overall situation, he clearly knew that King You of Zhou would not listen to advice, otherwise he would not have retreated to Shen. However, from personal feelings, he could not bear to see his daughter and grandson being deposed. So, when no one else spoke up, Grandfather made a move.
He is just a clever person who understands things, but he is by no means wise. The first method he chose actually had the opposite effect.
When the Marquis of Shen learned that his daughter had been deposed, his first move was to present a memorial to King You of Zhou, saying: "Look at how Emperor Zhòu of Xia lost his country because he indulged in the pleasure of having Mei Xi, and how King Zhou of Shang lost his country because he indulged in the pleasure of having Daji. These are all bloody historical facts! I think you're almost done for this time too, hurry up and recall your chaotic decree, escape this disaster."
King You of Zhou looked at the memorial and was truly furious. Did he think he was the emperor's father-in-law? He actually dared to lecture the Son of Heaven! Guo Gong took advantage of the situation to speak out, "This Shēn Hóu is clearly plotting rebellion!"
King You of Zhou issued an edict, demoting the Marquis of Shen to Earl of Shen and appointing Gongsun Xiefu as general to attack the land of Shen.
News had already reached the State of Shen, and now the Marquis of Shen could no longer sit still. The state was small and weak, how could it resist the imperial army? It seemed that disaster was imminent. Minister Lü Zhang said, "This is also an opportunity! The Emperor is foolish and unjust, having deposed the rightful heir and installed a younger son in his place. Why not borrow troops from the Western Rong and rescue the Empress, then pass the throne to the Crown Prince?"
At this time, Shen Hou also had no idea. // Read net first release www.??//
Who knows why You Wang is so anxious this week?
Still can't figure it out, Zhou Youwang doesn't even care about his own father's death, who else would he care about?
This is a situation where either you die or I perish, and finally made Shenhoulord make up his mind to borrow troops from Xirong. First, prepare a car of gold, pearls, and treasures to be sent to Quanrong, and agree that on the day when Huojing is broken, the national treasury will be at the disposal of Quanrong.
A fortress is always breached from within.
The move by Duke Xian of Qin was a reluctant one, but it also transformed the internal contradictions among the people into contradictions between us and the enemy, which can be said to be colluding with external forces.
The master of the Quanrong tribe thought it was a good idea, always wanting to go on a seven-day tour of Zhou Dynasty's capital. Although King Xuan of Zhou did not gain an advantage in the war against the Quanrong, his determination to conquer them made the Quanrong tremble with fear. Now that the opportunity has arrived, with the Marquis of Shen as an insider, it is a done deal.
At that time, 15,000 troops were dispatched and divided into three teams. The vanguard of the left route was Man You Suo, the vanguard of the right route was Boding, and the commander-in-chief of the central route led by himself.
The Marquis of Shen also raised his national troops, and the internal and external forces converged to kill King Zhou in Haojing.
Arrived in Luoyi, no matter what, first surround the Wang City, that is, the city where King Zhou resides, with three circles. See if you can fly away?
Now it's Zhou Youwang's turn to be in a mess. How did this happen? Is there no organization, discipline or secrecy anymore? We haven't even set off yet, and the Rong soldiers have already surrounded us?
It's time to flatter Gong Shu, pat the horse's buttocks and climb over the city wall. Remind King You of Zhou that now is the time to send someone to set off the beacon fire on Mount Li! Let's see the vassals' army arrive, attack from both inside and outside, victory will surely be ours!
King You of Zhou finally woke up like a dream.
However, the beacon towers were smoking heavily, but none of the vassals really sent troops.
Are they deceiving us again? They went far away to mobilize troops and generals, rushing back and forth, telling us that everything is fine, and asking us to go back. Are we stupid, going there again?
This time Zhou Youwang was stupid. Really stupid.
The signal has been sent out, but no one came.
What goes around comes around.
The Quanrong are attacking the city day and night, these bandits, for a little gold and silver treasure, they really don't care about their lives! King You of Zhou saw that there was no rescue army coming, so he gave up hope. He said to Bao Si: "You seem capable, don't think that just because the Quanrong have surrounded us, it's not certain who is stronger or weaker. Otherwise, you try to test them and see what happens."
He's also quite good at choosing people. Gu Gong was never a capable military commander to begin with. If he had the ability to fight, he wouldn't have to work so hard flattering and scheming against others. But now it's like riding a tiger, and it's hard to get off. Weren't you the one who came up with the plan to attack Shenhoul? Now Shenhoul is right outside the city, go ahead and fight!
Guo Gong could only muster up his courage and lead 200 chariots in a fierce charge out of the gate.
