Chapter 9: The Rebellion of Kyoto

  Guo Gong led two hundred chariots out of the city to meet the enemy in battle.

  Knowing that he himself had no talent for leading troops, he was already somewhat disheartened. When he saw the enemy's cavalry charging towards him, the soldiers were indeed fierce and didn't seem to be dressed like people from the Central Plains, with their hair loose and unkempt. At this moment, Gong Yu was simply paralyzed with fear.

  However, he didn't have time to be afraid for long. After less than ten rounds of fighting, Guo Gong was beheaded by Ma Chao under his horse.

  On this side, the Rong soldiers saw that they were going to win, and they all shouted and rushed towards the Wang City. To say that the robbery was a job, it had never reached the Wang City of Zhou Tianzi, the highest point of the Quanrong! This group of professional robbers was extremely excited, entering the Wang City, setting fires, burning houses, killing innocent people, and doing all sorts of evil things. At this time, even if Shenhoulord wanted to stop them, he had the heart but not enough strength.

  King You of Zhou was like a mirror in his heart, knowing that Guo Gong would definitely not return at this time. King You of Zhou hastily ordered the preparation of a light carriage, taking Bao Si and Bo Fu, preparing to escape from the Houzhaimen Gate. It seems that King You of Zhou also did not intend to fight against the Quan Rong to the end, nor was he concerned about Guo Gong's life or death, but rather treated him as a mere shield. So while Guo Gong went out to battle, he took his wife and children and slipped away from the back door. Unfortunately, he also did not expect that Guo Gong would be so vulnerable to attack, being beheaded as soon as they met. In the chaos of war, this small carriage began a frantic gallop. Suddenly, someone behind him slapped his horse and rushed forward, shouting "Pursue!" King You of Zhou's heart was now in his throat.

  When the reinforcements arrived, it turned out to be Zheng Bo You, the younger brother of King Xuan of Zhou and his own uncle. Although King You of Zhou had never listened to Zheng Bo You's advice when he played with the beacons to summon the vassals, Zheng Bo still pursued and protected the king in the chaos. The group left through the North Gate and headed towards Mount Li. Along the way, Zheng Bo You repeatedly ordered the beacon tower on Mount Li to light the fire, but unfortunately, no vassals sent troops to rescue the king.

  The princes are still thinking, how can they still play around this time? They lit a fire once and then again, determined to deceive us. The princes collectively chose selective blindness, directly ignoring the beacon fire.

  The Dog Rong has already occupied the royal city, and continues to advance on the Wei Palace, which is also surrounded by water and cannot be escaped. This time it's really over, it seems that they won't stop until they capture King You of Zhou.

  King You of Zhou was now filled with regret.

  There was once a chance to govern the country, placed in front of him, he didn't cherish it well. If there's another chance, I think he will definitely cherish it, at least he won't go to the beacon tower to play with fire and harm people by spreading lies!

  To break the siege of Biyang, the vassals are no longer reliable. Currently, only Zheng Bo can take action. Zheng Bo took the lead in opening the way and ordered Yin Qiu to protect King You of Zhou and Bao Si's mother and son from escaping through the back door of the palace. The Quanrong army followed closely, and Zheng Bo fought with them, with long spears everywhere, and blood flowers flying. They were all Quanrong soldiers. Zheng Bo first stabbed down Guli Chi with his spear.

  The Rong soldiers were like unending killings, more and more, gradually separating the Duke of Zheng and King You of Zhou into two routes. The Duke of Zheng was surrounded in the middle, the Rong leader ordered arrows to be shot from all sides, and a loyal minister unfortunately died under the chaotic arrows.

  Zuo Qianfeng quickly intercepted the vehicle driven by King You of Zhou, and Rongzi took a look, saying "Ah, he is wearing a jade belt and has a name tag on his body, it must be King You of Zhou." He then killed King You of Zhou and Bo Fu in the carriage. Bao Si was taken captive because of her beauty. Yin Jiu hid inside the carriage, hoping to escape with his life in the chaos. Unfortunately, he was discovered by Quan Rong while searching the carriage and also met his death.

  The previous nursery rhymes and ballads can be said to have all come true. However, it can also be said that this was Zhou Youwang himself who pushed the country to the brink of collapse. If there hadn't been a foolish Zhou Youwang, these nursery rhymes and ballads would have just been rumors blown away by the wind.

  In this extremely large-scale robbery of the Quanrong's attack on the capital, Shenhao was the guide and later became a firefighter. After leading the Rong army into the imperial city, he saw the gang of habitual criminals' crazy killing and arson, and Shenhao realized that he couldn't stop them. Having led the wolf into the house, how could he expect the hungry wolf to be gentle? He could only follow the Rong soldiers who set fires to put out the fire, acting as a volunteer firefighter.

  When Shenhao arrived at the back palace, he first released his daughter, Shenhou, from the cold palace. Amidst all this hustle and bustle, he didn't forget to look for the important figure in this case - Zhou Youwang.

  In a vast sea of people, I have never seen you before, how can I put my heart at ease?

  In the chaos, someone told Shēn Hóu that he saw King Yōu of Zhōu leaving through the north gate. Shēn Hóu thought to himself, "This is bad! He's heading towards Lí Gōng!" and hastily gave chase. Halfway there, he ran into the leader of the Róng tribe, who was gloating about King Yōu of Zhōu. With a hearty laugh, he said that the Son of Heaven had already become a soul under his knife!

  Marquis Shen was shocked and said: "I just wanted to correct the emperor's mistakes, but I didn't expect to commit regicide! Isn't this disloyalty?"

  That's not true.

  This struggle was originally a matter of life and death, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. Moreover, if you really didn't think about hanging Zhou Youwang, why not tell the Lord of Rong at the beginning? Besides, the Quanrong and the Great Zhou are opposing forces, can the Lord of Rong be swayed by Shenhoulord? Taking a step back, even if Shenhoulord truly only hoped to let Zhou Youwang reform, he had already mobilized external enemies to invade. If Zhou Youwang didn't die, what retreat route would he have in the future? Would he follow the Lord of Rong to the grasslands to herd cattle?

  The host laughed loudly at that time.

  Shen Hou, Shen Hou, you really think I'm stupid!

  Since we've already joined forces, anyway, the robbery case has escalated into a murder case. There's no trial, so go ahead and say whatever you want!

  This battle, directed by Shen Hou, ended with the complete defeat of the Great Zhou Dynasty at the hands of the Quanrong invasion. The high-ranking leaders of the Great Zhou Dynasty, led by King You of Zhou, whether wise or foolish, loyal or treacherous, basically followed King You to the Yan Luo Temple for a long-term tour.

  But Duke Xian of Shen was still very unhappy.

  Because the Dog Rong considers itself the master of the royal city, don't look at you, the Great Zhou, shouting that you are the orthodox Xia, we are just barbarians, how about it, didn't we save your common people?

  The Marquis of Shen did not treat the Quanrong unfairly.

  The national treasury was emptied to give the Qiang Rong a free hand, and the Marquis of Shen also gave ten carts of gold, pearls, and precious jewels as a thank-you gift. The meaning is clear: you have worked hard and achieved great things, now you can go home.

  Unfortunately, Quanrong has no intention of going home at all.

  At first, it was indeed said that ten carriages of gold and jewels would be the price. But now the king of Rong doesn't think so. I rescued you from the jaws of death, and just these few things are enough to send you off? Besides, entering the great Zhou king's city is not as easy as you think. Now that you've easily entered, can you leave so easily? The army spends its days roaming around the king's city, drinking and having fun, with no intention of leaving.

  The people in the city are worried every day, and they all curse Lord Sheng.

  The Marquis of Shen was indeed unable to stop it at this time.

  This is inviting wolves into one's home, it's easy to invite a god but hard to send him away.

  Brecht had a famous saying: when doing business with the devil, one must have a long fork. Unfortunately, at that time, space was isolated and Shenhao didn't have this experience either.

  The crown prince has not yet ascended to the throne, and the royal city is in great chaos. How can this situation be salvaged?
