I immediately got on my horse and said to everyone, "I'll go back and see how the Yellow Emperor's troops are preparing. You guys stay here and observe." Li Shuai, if there are no major changes, just release the rocket and lure the grass over by noon. "
Li Shuai said in a serious tone: "Understood, go quickly."
When I rushed back to the Yellow Emperor Tribe, I found that the Yellow Emperor had joined many of the tribe leaders to wait by the stream. When he saw me, he immediately went up to me and asked, "heavenly officer, did it go smoothly?"
I nodded. "Would the leader be willing to let me take command when the attack starts at noon with the fireworks?"
Thus, I ordered the army to slowly approach the Chi You Tribe. When they arrived at the edge of the forest, I ordered the army to rest in place. Seeing that it was almost noon, I came to Li Shuai's side and said, "It's about time, prepare the rockets."
Li Shuai nodded his head and took out three dry grass arrows and nocked them onto his bow. Wei Wu lit up the dry grass on the arrow by the side and immediately shot it out. The rocket flew across the sky like a meteor and landed on the haystack, which was immediately set ablaze because we had already poured oil on it.
The Yellow Emperor rode over and asked, "heavenly officer, attack now?"
I looked at the flames and said, "No, wait a moment. Come on, let's watch a good show here first. "
The Yellow Emperor was a bit puzzled, but he didn't ask. He just waited and waited … With a "boom," the pile of wood exploded. Ha! This was much better than he had expected.
I saw that the Chi You Tribe was already in chaos as they said to the Yellow Emperor, "Give the order to attack!"
With a burst of sound, a large group of people charged towards Chi You's tribe like a flood. The battle between the two armies would only result in death or injury. Looking at a living person suddenly falling to the ground, unable to get up, my heart ached inexplicably … The fierce battle lasted for about four hours. Suddenly, the roars of wild beasts could be heard. It was the Magi who had released their eighty-one types of wild beasts to assist in the battle. When I saw the wild beasts rush out of their cages, I immediately ordered the soldiers to retreat. When they retreated, I ordered them to rest where they were.
"heavenly officer, why did we retreat?" The emperor asked unhappily.
I smiled and said, "The next step will be a good show. Just watch and see."
The Yellow Emperor looked at me with slight annoyance but didn't say anything. He stood together with me and looked at Chi You's tribe. As expected, it was just as I expected. As I had destroyed the Magus horn, all the wild beasts started to bite on it as if they were crazy. In a short moment, more than half of Chi You's soldiers were killed.
I said to the Emperor, "Use the wild beasts you've tamed so that we can lead the army."
At this moment, the Yellow Emperor no longer had any objections. He would do whatever I say. The battle went on for a long time, until the sun went down to the west. When we checked the results of the battle, we found that Chi You had disappeared. The Yellow Emperor and I immediately gave chase. Before I went out to chase him, I suddenly thought of the south-pointing car, so I told the Yellow Emperor to follow me in the car. When we reached a sandy area, a strong wind suddenly blew, filling the sky with yellow sand. The Emperor and I were no longer able to distinguish between north, south, east and west. We were heading west, and we ran out of the yellow sands, following the directions of the south-pointing chariot. Looking back, it turned out to be a natural phenomenon, a small tornado. It seemed that this was not a demonic technique used by Chi You, so they continued to chase for a while more. and the two soldiers were resting on a big rock.
The Yellow Emperor shouted, "Chi You, you have nowhere to run to, and you have no choice but to surrender."
Chi You was so angry that he raised his sword to slash at the Yellow Emperor. I immediately used my short sword to block him, causing Chi You and I to become embroiled in battle. I don't know if history was bragging about Chi You too much or if our laxatives were working, but Chi You's attacks were getting slower and slower, his strength was getting weaker and weaker, and in a few rounds, I had already placed the short sword on his neck. His vision blurred, and by the time I reacted, Chi You's head had already separated from his body, and his face was covered in hot, sticky blood. It was the Yellow Emperor, he killed Chi You. Looking at the triumphant smile on the Yellow Emperor's face, I really want to vomit … Just then, the Yellow Emperor turned around to kill Chi You's two followers. I immediately blocked his sword and shouted, "Let them go, Chi You is already dead."
He didn't know if the Yellow Emperor was scared by my shout, or if it was because of my special identity, but he put away his sword and said to the two of them, "Hurry up and leave before I go back on my word."
The two of them looked at me gratefully before running off desperately. When I got on the horse to return, I saw the Yellow Emperor rummaging through Chi You's clothes, and he even found a key! My eyes widened as I thought, "How could there be a key?" This era is impossible! "
The Yellow Emperor looked at the key and laughed out loud, then carried Chi You's head and returned to the camp. My friend saw the blood on me and thought I was hurt.
"Brother Long, you're injured?" Li Shuai asked.
"Brother Long, how are your injuries? I'll apply the medicine for you. " Chang Bai said as he took out his medicine bag.
Faced with everyone's concern, I was very touched. I hugged them one by one. My actions made them think that I had hurt my brain.
I excitedly said, "My friends, I'm fine. It's just because I'm so happy to have a group of friends like you."
In the end, my childish behavior was mocked by them. After laughing so much, I decided to go to the river to wash up. Blood stains on the body. When I got to the river, the water was no longer clear and transparent but red, and my stomach churned as I vomited, spitting out the last of the bitter water. I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand to wipe away the stain, but the back of my hand touched the tears that were running down my cheeks … Is it vomiting that makes you cry? No, it was tears for those lives that would never be able to stand up and laugh. Whether it was the enemy or their own people … War? Why would there be a war? This is a spell that I have never been able to get rid of ever since ancient times. I hate it …
"Oh no, Brother Long, the Yellow Emperor is going to kill all of Chi You's men." Li Shuai's panicked voice cleared my head.
I ran back and looked. The Yellow Emperor had gathered all of Chi You's men in an open area outside the tribe. I asked the Yellow Emperor, "What do you want to do?"
The Yellow Emperor said, "Because Chi You once fed the people of other tribes to his wild beasts, the injured tribe leaders hope to feed Chi You's people to the wild beasts."
Seeing that there weren't many soldiers on the ground, mostly old people and women, and even some babies that were crying out for food, how could he bear it? How could he …
I said loudly to the leaders of the tribes, "Everyone, please listen to my story. After hearing this story, can you decide the life and death of these people?"
The leaders of the tribes looked at each other, then nodded in agreement.
I cleared my throat and said, "There were two such families, and they were neighbors. They got along well, then one day the two families fought over food, and one of them injured the other. The injured child went home and told his parents that the child's father became angry at the mention of it, and he immediately took a knife and killed the other child. But the other had killed his children in the night, and the two adults had cut each other down again, and the adults had died with only two mothers left. As the two mothers wept for their children and their husbands, God came to them and said, 'What would you do if I took my time back?' The two mothers, upon hearing this, begged the Empyrean God to reverse the flow of time, and the Empyrean God agreed. Just like that, the time returned to the moment when the child complained. The father was still holding a knife to kill the other party's child. The mother tightly held onto the husband's leg crying as she said, "I beg of you, please don't go. If you kill the other party's child, will our son's injuries be healed?" Don't you ever have a fight when you're a kid? Please, don't go. "If you kill their children, they will come to kill our children as well. At that time, if your two fathers were to die, how would we live as mothers and wives?!" When the father heard this, he put down his knife and helped his wife up, saying, 'I understand, I just heard what you said, and I realized that I almost made a blunder. " At this time, the neighbor came to their house with the child and apologized, "I'm sorry, my family's child didn't know how to hurt your family's child." When the father of the injured child heard this, he regretted his actions so much that he treated his neighbor's family to a meal. By the evening, the two children had long forgotten about the fight and had gotten back on their feet. From then on, the two families helped each other to lead a happy life. " I looked at the Yellow Emperor and found that they were all listening very seriously, so I took the opportunity to say, "This story is to tell us that if we kill each other, we won't be able to reduce or dissipate the damage we receive. It will only make things worse. It would be better for everyone to live in harmony with each other and develop their tribe. Together, they would contribute to the tribe. Women can produce and cook, the elderly can teach the experience of life to the young, and the children can grow into the strength of the tribe. Alright, I've finished speaking. The fate of these people is now in your hands.
My words seemed to strike a chord with the leaders of the tribes, who eventually passed the power of decision on to the Yellow Emperor. Yellow Emperor thought for a while and said, "Since everyone is letting me decide, then please don't object. I want to bring these people to my tribe and let them live in my tribe. Do you have any objections? "
The Yellow Emperor's decision was not controversial. Instead, it made his status even higher in the eyes of others. Seeing that there was no objection, the Emperor said to the prisoners, "Will you come to live in my tribe?"
In the end, all the captives kowtowed in joy to show their gratitude. I heaved a sigh of relief. When I secretly wiped away the cold sweat on my forehead, I realised that Li Shuai and the rest had given me a big thumbs up.
It was already dark outside after the war, so we set up a bonfire outside to barbecue. The few remaining houses were given to the chiefs, and the women, children, and old people were pitied. I brought the baked food to the women and the old people, who were so grateful to me that I didn't know what to do. At this moment, a loud cry caught my attention. It was made by a fat baby. I teased him, "This is a boy. He cried so loudly. What's his name?"
The woman holding the child said, "It's a boy. His name is Yao."
What? This little baby is Yao? Oh my god! I searched my body for something to give him, but couldn't find anything for a long time. Here. I smiled awkwardly. At this moment, I remembered that my stone knife was useless. Thus, I pulled it out from my boots. They gave the stone knife to him. When Yao's mother thanked me for my kindness, I helped her up and said, "I was fated to meet him. Perhaps we will meet again in the future."
I asked, "What are you doing back here? "What do you want?"
The man with the sword said, "I know they will not let the elders, women, and children of the tribe go. That's why we came back to take revenge. "
I quickly called for the prisoners and told them, "Don't act recklessly. Believe me, we didn't hurt anyone here."
After a moment's hesitation, I added, "I swear with my life that the old, the children, and the women here are not hurt at all."
Fortunately, the captive arrived in time. Yao's mother shouted, "I'm here. Don't do anything stupid. The Yellow Emperor treated us very well and didn't hurt us."
So one of them was Yao's father. When they saw that no one was hurt as I said, they threw down their swords and kneeled in front of the Yellow Emperor to beg for forgiveness. The Yellow Emperor, though frightened, remained calm.
"Your abilities are not bad. I hope that you can stay by my side and serve me. Are you willing?" The Yellow Emperor said with a smile.
The Yellow Emperor really did win over the hearts of the people. Not only did he get two trusted assistants, but he also made the leaders of the tribes admire him even more. At this time, someone muttered to himself, "It's all thanks to the heavenly officer's story that we didn't kill the captives. Otherwise, the odds are against us today …" In the end, more and more people started talking among themselves. I sneaked a glance at the Yellow Emperor and found that his eyes were a little cold … I hurried to avoid the Yellow Emperor and my friends and huddle together to rest.
