~9 min read 1,613 words

Gu Shanhe then replied to the question raised by Liu Bang.

"Jiang Ziya indeed had great talent and was proficient in military strategy, but he wasn't as magical as the legends say; his greatness lay in his ability to see the situation clearly and unite forces."

Then he replied to Liu Che: "The rites and music of the Zhou dynasty were simply rules; from how the Son of Heaven worships ancestors to how commoners treat others, there were rules, which indeed stabilized people's hearts, but there were many chaos in the eight hundred years, and it wasn't just relying on rites and music."

Finally, he replied to the question raised by Liu Xiu.

"The Zhou army's food and grass were prepared by the joint efforts of the feudal lords; Xiqi accumulated them for many years in advance, and united with the vassal states along the way to supply them, which is why they dared to raid a thousand miles—fighting a war is not just about soldiers, but also food, grass, and logistics."

After answering the questions, Gu Shanhe's voice paused:

"The Battle of Muye tells us that there is no eternal dynasty, only eternal hearts of the people."

"Whoever puts the people in their hearts, the people will put them on the stage."

When this sentence fell, whether it was the First Emperor Ying Zheng who unified the six states, or Liu Bang who established the Great Han, or Liu Che and Liu Xiu standing next to them, they all fell into deep thought.

【Three: Burning himself on the Deer Terrace, the Zhou dynasty replaces Shang】

【The Battle of Muye collapsed across the board, King Zhou of Shang saw that the situation was gone, fled back to Zhaoge alone, climbed the Deer Terrace, put on his treasure jade clothes, and burned himself to death.】

【The Yin-Shang dynasty, which had lasted for six hundred years, was completely destroyed.】

On the sky screen, the fire of the Deer Terrace soared into the sky, reddening half the sky.

The emperor who was once arrogant ended his life in the flames.

【The Zhou army took the opportunity to enter Zhaoge, executed the treacherous officials of Yin-Shang, and pacified the people of the world.

King Wu of Zhou officially established the capital in Haojing, established the Zhou dynasty, and opened the eight-hundred-year dynasty rule of China.

The pattern of the ancient slave dynasty was completely ended, and the ritual civilization has flourished since then.】

The sky screen slowly converged, but the discussion in the myriad worlds and time-spaces exploded.

Eastern Han Nanguo.

Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes sharp, and said in a deep voice: "In a chaotic dynasty, those who lose the hearts of the people will perish!"

"King Zhou had heroic talent and military power, but he was tyrannical and lost the way; sitting on the world and destroying his own foundation, he was extremely stupid."

"The Battle of Muye is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, and also the judgment of the hearts of the people!"

Liu Bang leaned next to Ying Zheng and joked playfully:

"The First Emperor is right! This King Zhou is just too able to toss."

"However, he could conquer the Dongyi, which shows he still had some skills, but his brain was not very good, forcing the common people to rebel."

Liu Che's eyes were burning, and he laughed loudly: "Wonderful! Using the teacher of the feudal lords to break the orthodox dynasty, not relying on brute force, not relying on elite soldiers, just relying on the general trend of the hearts of the people to determine the universe!"

"The Battle of Muye can be called the most transparent battle of national destruction in ancient times!"

"If I encountered this situation, I would have to think about it carefully."

Liu Xiu looked at the two Gaozu and the ancestors, and agreed: "Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and those who lose the hearts of the people lose the world."

"The death of Yin-Shang lies in King Zhou alone, and also in his government not practicing benevolence."

"The rise of Zhou Wu lies in cultivating virtue and pacifying the people, following Heaven and responding to people."

At this time, Liu Xiu looked at Gu Shanhe with some doubts.

"Immortal, the sky screen says the Yin-Shang main force was in Dongyi, so King Wu of Zhou was not afraid of being attacked from both sides?"

Gu Shanhe smiled slightly and answered patiently: "Your Majesty, this is the subtlety of this battle."

"King Zhou's expedition to Dongyi took a long time, and the teachers were old and the soldiers were tired."

"And the land of Dongyi is far away from Zhaoge; even if there were remnants to return for rescue, the distant water could not quench the near thirst."

"King Wu of Zhou seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to set the tripod in one fell swoop."

Three Kingdoms plane.

Cao Cao twisted his beard and narrowed his eyes, looking at the sky screen, thoughtful.

"Turning against the enemy on the battlefield, the military heart is scattered; this is a taboo for military strategists!"

"King Zhou didn't understand the way of controlling hearts; even with thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, he was ultimately a lonely man."

"This battle can be called a negative textbook for chaotic world hegemony!"

"If someone in my army is resentful and turns against the enemy on the battlefield, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Liu Bei looked solemn and bowed with emotion: "Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, the ancients do not deceive me!"

"Shang lost the hearts of the people and perished, Zhou won the hearts of the people and flourished; this is the kingly way that has remained unchanged for thousands of years!"

"Although I am not talented, I also know the principle of 'people-oriented'."

Zhang Fei stared with tiger eyes and exclaimed:

"Good guy! Hundreds of thousands of troops directly turned against the water? This King Zhou really forced people to the end!"

"If it were me, Old Zhang, I would also rebel! Whoever wants to be this damn emperor can be!"

Guan Yu raised his phoenix eyes slightly and nodded in a deep voice:

"The military heart is the heart of Heaven; those without a military heart have no world!"

"After this battle, who dares not cultivate virtue and government?"

Tang Dynasty, Zhenguan period.

Li Shimin clapped his hands in praise: "The rise and fall of a dynasty all depend on virtue and government."

"King Zhou was tyrannical, Ji Fa cultivated virtue and pacified the people; the Battle of Muye tells the foundation of an emperor! It can be a warning for emperors of all ages!"

"Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, look, King Wu of Zhou's decision, how decisive!"

Ming Dynasty, Hongwu period.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the sky screen and snorted coldly: "This King Zhou is comparable to Chen Youliang, both are arbitrary and unpopular masters."

"King Wu of Zhou's move of 'turning the spear to strike' was wonderful! Without spending a single soldier or a single soldier, he disintegrated the enemy's core."

"I also knew the importance of the hearts of the people when I conquered the world."

Yan King Zhu Di was rubbing his hands: "Father is right! This Battle of Muye is a psychological battle!"

"Hundreds of thousands of people's hearts are scattered; even if everyone spits, they can drown King Zhou."

"This King Wu of Zhou is a powerful character!"

【The Battle of Muye, one of the ten great battles in history, has been counted!】

【The ten great battles of ancient times have all been counted!】

The sky screen in the sky slowly disappeared, and the golden light dissipated, but the shock from ancient times did not dissipate for a long time.

Gu Shanhe stood up and patted the dust on his sleeves.

He looked at Liu Xiu, and then at Ying Zheng, Liu Bang, and Liu Che, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Your Majesty, the ten great battles have been counted."

"But there are still too many unknown areas in this world, waiting for you to explore."

Liu Xiu immediately understood, and a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes: "The Immortal means..."

"It's time to help the Great Han truly rise."

Gu Shanhe's eyes were burning, "Not just military, but also people's livelihood, technology, and systems."

Gu Shanhe looked at Ying Zheng, Liu Bang, and Liu Che.

"Three Majesties, should the capable ministers, fierce generals, and clever craftsmen of your era also come to see the customs of this Eastern Han?"

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, a flash of imperceptible expectation flashed in his eyes:

"My Great Qin elites are ready to accompany you at any time."

Liu Bang grinned: "Okay! I, Old Liu, also happen to miss my old brothers."

"If Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo come, and see the mountains and rivers of this Eastern Han, I don't know what they will think?"

Liu Che was even more impatient: "Order! Call Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to me!"

"I want the soldiers of this Eastern Han to see what a true Han son is!"

Gu Shanhe's heart moved, and the familiar portal emitting white light opened slowly in the center of the Nanguo Hall again.

"Let's go." Gu Shanhe took the lead.

The four emperors, with their respective ambitions and the huge lineup coming from different time and space, stepped into the light without hesitation.

The sky of the Great Han is about to usher in unprecedented changes.

And all this has just begun. ===== CHAPTER 311 =====
