Shang Yi, within the palace.
There are magnificent palaces, and the faint sound of bells and drums can be heard. It is the Shang King Di Xin enjoying singing, dancing and beauties.
The Great Shang Ancestral Temple is located.
The old man who served as the great shaman looked at the cracked turtle shell in his hand, but suddenly he was startled: "There is a dangerous attack, no, I must report it to the king quickly!"
He walked quickly, ignoring the surprised looks of the people around him, and arrived in front of the palace.
"Wait!"
At the gate, two nobles who looked like doctors stretched out their hands to stop him: "The king is having fun, don't disturb him!"
"Get away!"
Seeing these two jesters, the great witch Zhu became even more angry. He stretched out his hand and pushed the two doctors aside.
"Your Majesty, the shaman of the ancestral temple wishes to see you!"
The great witch Zhu rushed into the palace and saw musicians on both sides playing drums, harps and flutes, and in the middle were scantily clad dancing girls from all ethnic groups dancing gracefully with graceful movements.
But his arrival completely broke this meandering scene.
"It turns out that the great witch is here..." King Shang put down his wine glass and couldn't help but straighten his back. He valued this priest who controlled his own temple and could even scold him through the will of his ancestors. He was also a little unhappy, especially This was even more true after the other party blocked his plan to conquer personally last time. He frowned and asked, "I wonder why the great witch came here?"
"Your Majesty... it's a disaster!"
The great shaman saluted and immediately presented the tortoise shell: "The old man burned the tortoise shell to ask about the future of the great merchants. The cracks on the tortoise shell mean that there is a disaster coming in the northwest, which will destroy the great merchants' society, so that the ancestors of the past kings will no longer be able to enjoy sacrifices and sacrifices. Blood food!”
"What?"
The King of Shang was immediately furious: "How is this possible? I, the Great Shang, am the descendant of Xuanniao. I am blessed with great fortune from heaven and have thousands of chariots. Who can destroy me?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"
The two jesters who had been pushed away by the great witch Zhu came crawling in and complained again with snot and tears: "The great witch is rude and speaks arrogant words. Please don't be angry!"
"Get away!"
This act of adding fuel to the fire made Di Xin roar violently, push the woman in his arms away, and sweep away the wine glasses and trays on the table.
Crackling!
Many utensils fell to the ground and made a crisp sound.
The woman and the musician knelt down fearfully, not daring to say even a word.
"Great Witch Zhu... Since you said that there is evil in the Great Shang Dynasty and the trouble is in the northwest, who is it?" Emperor Xin looked straight down like a tiger: "If there really is such a rebellious minister and traitor, I personally went to take his head. If If you make a mistake in your divination, I will burn you!"
"It's too late! It's too late!"
But the great witch Zhu cried loudly: "The disaster is in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the evil star has arrived in Muye, and our business town cannot escape this disaster!"
"Makino?!"
Di Xin was shocked, and then he still didn't believe it: "Haha... Makino is very close to Shangyi, why didn't you hear the report? Great Witch Zhu, you are too alarmist."
At this moment, a warrior suddenly walked in quickly and knelt down: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation from the northwest. The Marquis of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Li Hui, allied with the princes, led an army of 100,000, vowed to attack the merchants, and has already reached Muye. ! ”
"What?"
Di Xin's vision went dark, and he was almost on the verge of collapse. The old man who was respectful in front of him seemed to appear in front of him, and he never expected that the other party would dare to do this.
"Carp... hello!"
He looked ferocious: "Whoever comes...take down Gong Ziwu immediately and cut him into pieces with a thousand swords!"
"Your Majesty... Gong Ziwu has disappeared long ago!"
The warrior answered bravely.
"My King... don't you understand? You are addicted to pleasure, and you are surrounded by flattering villains like Fei Zhong and Kun Guo. They will only tell you what you like to hear and hide other bad news. He also accepted bribes from outsiders to facilitate Gong Ziwu’s escape!”
The great witch Zhu looked at the two doctors, his voice as cold as ice.
"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life!"
The two doctors were already stunned. They crawled in front of Di Xin, grabbed the hem of his clothes, and kept begging for mercy.
But at this time, it was clear that King Shang would show no mercy.
"ah… "
Di Xin roared violently, flew out with two kicks, kicked the two doctors against the wall, pulled out his sword, and killed them one by one. He bowed deeply to the great witch and said, "Thank you, great witch, for waking me up." , I regret my mistake!"
The great witch Zhu looked deeply at the Shang King. As an old man in the palace, he naturally knew that Emperor Xin was very brave when he was young, and he was humble and accepted advice. He was a rare wise king.
But after middle age, he became addicted to pleasure and gradually favored traitors, which led to the corruption of the government.
At this time, Di Xin looked like he had completely changed his past.
"Since the enemy has arrived at Makino, we must meet them..."
The great witch took a deep breath: "How many people are there in the city at this time?"
“…”
Di Xin was silent for a long time, with bitterness in his voice: "Wang'er went out for the expedition and has already taken away all the most elite Sixth Division of the Emperor, as well as most of the strong countrymen... If we go out again now, there will only be old people, young people, and slaves... "
"There are enough weapons in the merchant city, enough to arm an army of 200,000!"
The great witch Zhu said in a calm voice: "Why don't the king quickly recruit the people of the country and urgently summon the prince Pan to return?"
"That's how it should be!"
Di Xin nodded repeatedly, then looked at the Great Witch Zhu: "How about the Great Witch Zhu himself being the messenger?"
In fact, they all knew that the Shang Dynasty's southern expeditionary army was at war with Dongyi. Unless they won an immediate victory and returned, they would not be able to save the fire from afar.
Dayi merchants actually have no real elite troops anymore! Therefore it will be defeated!
But Emperor Xin obviously wanted to keep the great witch Zhu alive to assist his heirs, so he had the messenger's words.
"I am already old..." Great Witch Zhu shook his head: "My disciples will assist Prince Pan well."
But he is determined to live and die with the city!
"Haha... The Great Witch Zhu is indeed the Great Witch Zhu. I have really neglected you too much before!"
With the light of enlightenment in his eyes, Di Xin straightened his king's crown, personally struck the huge bronze bell in the palace, and began to recruit people.
"Everyone..."
He looked at the various scholar-bureaucrats who had arrived, with fire in his eyes: "The Western Zhou Dynasty has raised troops to attack me, and they have already reached Muye... We can only fight to the death! It is my will to liberate all slaves, incorporate them into the army, and open up The palace arsenal, fight to the death with that old thief!"
"promise!"
At this time, the nobles of the Shang Dynasty had not been completely corrupted by wine and women. After hearing the words, they immediately took action, put on various armors, held weapons, and led their slaves to join them.
Not long after, hundreds of thousands of people gathered.
"good!"
Seeing this scene, Di Xin was overjoyed: "Follow me out of the city to meet the enemy!"
Although they were all slaves, old, weak, sick and disabled, they were roughly armed and looked quite impressive, which made Di Xin's heart feel alive again.
Maybe he still has a chance to fight off the enemy and survive.
"Your Majesty... Why don't you stick to the city and defend it!" Great Witch Zhu advised.
"Shou?"
Di Xin was a little moved, and then shook his head: "How can I show weakness like this?"
When the great witch Zhu saw this scene, he sighed deeply in his heart. After knowing that he had gained a little confidence, the great king returned to his old ways.
However, when he was about to persuade him again, a cold feeling immediately spread throughout his body, and he seemed to see a flash of five-color light in front of his eyes.
"This is... what kind of power?"
The great witch Zhu was shocked in his heart by the vastness and power of this power, which made him unable to move even an inch.
At this moment, Di Xin had already led the army and marched out of the city, heading towards Muye.
"This is... the power of destiny!"
After the army left the city, the power of imprisonment disappeared. The great witch Zhu Lao burst into tears: "Sure enough... has the destiny been transferred?"
He suddenly understood that whether it was the warning from his ancestors, or the divination results obtained too late, or even the silence just now, it could actually only mean one thing.
The destiny of Dashang has disappeared!
The current situation of heaven and earth is on the enemy's side this time!
The original Shang clan was able to develop from a small tribe to the current leader of the world because of their luck! At this time, after losing this destiny, what kind of future will there be
"Destiny! Destiny!"
Da Wu Zhu's expression changed a bit, but he quickly followed Dashang.
The king dies in Sheji!
Now that Di Xin has made his choice, he will naturally not escape!
If Fang Yuan were here, he would see a broken black bird, which was the only remaining energy in Shang Yi. He tried his best to spread his wings and flew towards the north...
…
Makino.
The allied forces of the princes are powerful.
The Marquis of Western Zhou Dynasty is wearing five-color stone armor, with a long sword hanging on his waist, and he is full of high spirits.
"Father!"
At this time, Gong Ziwu arrived and whispered a few words in his ear: "Zi Pan has defeated Dongyi, and the 50,000-strong army is returning quickly!"
"Where is Tanma?"
The Marquis of Western Zhou looked around at the various princes with evil intentions and asked in a very low voice.
"Kudu was intercepted by the children and forced into the base camp!"
"Kill immediately!"
The Marquis of Western Zhou lowered his voice, but there was a deep chill in it.
After all, at the moment when the decisive battle with Dashang was about to take place, hearing this news would inevitably shake the morale of the army.
He is well aware of the strength of his coalition army. Although it is said to be one hundred thousand, fifty thousand of them are a mob, and the orders are not clear. It is okay to fight with the wind going smoothly, but once it is in adverse circumstances, it may collapse immediately!
"promise!"
Young Master Wu retreated.
Several princes looked over with inquiring eyes.
"Haha... My son brought a report. King Shang mobilized the warriors and slaves in the city to prepare for the battle between trapped beasts!"
The Marquis of Western Zhou deliberately revealed the information he had obtained before: "Set up a large formation and prepare to fight the Shang army! Don't worry, I have already made a divination. As long as you fight against the Shang here, you will definitely win without defeat!"
Even if they give both kindness and power, these vassal states are used to kneeling down to the great merchants, so it's hard to say how much they can do.
However, the Marquis of Western Zhou is confident that as long as they defeat Dashang in this battle, these idiots will have no choice but to regard themselves as the new kings!
