Chapter 824 Mad King
When talking about the ancient kings of China, people usually mention "Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang". Shang Tang can be compared with the above three. He is indeed a wise king. His virtue, talent and reputation are all top-notch.

At this time, Shang Tang's true spirit was furious. How could such a descendant who disobeyed his ancestors appear in his family? Before destroying the Xia Dynasty, he had ridiculed Xia Jie, a descendant of Xia Yu. Now looking back, compared with King Zhou, Xia Jie was really a filial and good child!
As a sage and king of the human race, even if King Zhou destroyed his tablet, he would still be able to enjoy the incense of the people. He was closely related to the fate of the human race and would not perish. He just felt sorry that the kingdom he had fought so hard for was finally destroyed.

Seeing the angry old man suddenly appear, King Zhou was a little panicked at first, but he quickly calmed down. What is there to be afraid of? I am the King of Men! Not to mention that the old man has been dead for a long time, even if he is still alive, I am not afraid.

"Unfilial descendants? I think you are the ones who are disloyal! You old things only know how to enjoy the incense, but you are actually useless. While you still have breath, make some contribution to my country!"

He exerted force with his arms, and the tablet of Shang Tang was obviously more solid than the tablets of other Shang kings. The power of the incense turned into a faint glow that protected the tablet.

If someone else came, they would not be able to do anything to Shang Tang, who was so popular and had such a strong humanitarian influence.

King Zhou was born with supernatural strength. He didn't use any tricks. He bulged the muscles in his arms, gathered all his strength, and kept increasing his strength, determined to break the tablet.

The Buddha statue high up showed a half-smile on its face. The tablet was just a beacon for the ancestors to appear. The power of the incense on it was limited after all. There was a crisp "click" sound, and King Zhou broke Shang Tang's tablet and threw it into the fire as if throwing away garbage.

"Evil beast! Evil beast! How could your father give birth to such a madman like you!" Shang Tang's angry curse was only met with King Zhou's sneer.

Outside the Buddhist temple, Peng Zu sensed something. He knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly, "The Great Shang Dynasty is dead! Our race is no longer the protagonist of heaven and earth! How painful! How painful!"

Seriously speaking, Peng Zu was the great-great-grandson of Zhuanxu. He was called Peng Zu because he was granted the land of "Peng". He was older than Shang Tang and lived longer than the entire Shang Dynasty. What he mourned was not the country and the people of his family, but the human race.

He had some kind of ability similar to the ability to see qi, and he could see at this moment that something of the human race was completely cut off after it reached King Zhou.

Having lived from the heyday of the human race to the present day and witnessed this drastic change with his own eyes, he cried bitterly and was extremely sad.

The flames in the Buddhist temple burned brighter and brighter, and King Zhou's crazy laughter spread all around.

"Burn it! Burn everything to ashes. Those traitors want my kingdom? I would rather destroy it than leave it to the traitors!" King Zhou shouted, "Thunder Hawk, Thunder Peng."

Two generals stepped out quickly: "I am here."

King Zhou's eyes revealed madness as he pointed at the fire in the Buddhist temple and said, "Search the entire city! Anyone who has any connection with Zhou, Han, or Qi, regardless of who they are or what their position, will be killed and their bodies thrown into the fire."

The Lei brothers looked at each other. This order was too vague. They were military generals, not responsible for intelligence. How could they know who had connections with Zhou, Han, and Qi?

The two men were very loyal and did whatever they were told to do. They immediately led their troops to arrest people throughout the city.

If they think you are a spy, then you are a spy, even if you are not.

Afterwards, the bodies were transported to the Buddhist temple. Strangely enough, the flames there burned extremely fast. No matter how many bodies were thrown in, they would be burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

King Zhou was sitting in front of the temple gate and pretending to be asleep. The Lei brothers ordered their soldiers to throw a large number of corpses into the fire. Blood flowed on the ground and gathered into a small river, which soon covered the soles of King Zhou's shoes. However, he remained unmoved. He just held his sword and waited at the door, not knowing what he was waiting for.

Fei Zhong and You Hun stared at each other, both terrified. This Yin Shou had clearly gone mad. Fearing that Yin Shou would point his finger at them and say, "Behead these two bastards too," they dared not move, much less walk. Soldiers would often pass by carrying corpses, and if they found someone still alive, they would stab them twice, spattering their bodies with blood. Their gorgeous court robes were covered in bloodstains, and their usually neatly groomed beards were drenched in sweat.

Fei Zhong and You Hun still had a few confidants. In the second half of the night, when it was as dark as ink, two old servants who were similar in build to them put on their spare court robes in advance and completed a wave of exchanges under the cover of the soldiers carrying the corpses.

The two treacherous men fled in a hurry, not taking a carriage, but riding horses out of the city.

While running, he met Peng Zu on the road.

This person is also a strange man. He has experienced so many wars, but he is still alive and well. At this time, Fei Zhong and You Hun recalled that they didn't even notice when this person ran away.

The two treacherous men didn't know what "low sense of presence" meant, but they knew Peng Zu was a wise man, so they immediately called him to mount his horse, and they all went to join the Han Kingdom together!

They also know that their reputation is too bad, and if they just deliver it to the door like this, it is really hard to say what will happen.

Deng Jiugong has been fighting on the battlefield for many years. We brought you a health expert. You can't just push us out and kill us, right?

Peng Zu looked around and found that the royal energy was indeed in the south, so he immediately followed the two treacherous ministers out of the city. Fei Zhong and You Hun first took out some gold, silver and jewelry that were easy to carry from a secret base outside the city, and then ran all the way south.

The killing in Luoyi lasted for nine days.

The city that once had a population of millions has become a ghost town, with the streets quiet and ten out of ten houses empty.

Before the Zhou Dynasty besieged the city, King Zhou released all the slaves and, together with the last elite troops of the Shang Dynasty, he gathered almost 60,000 troops to prepare for a decisive battle. Now, after such a large-scale killing, there are less than 2,000 soldiers left.

You killed my father, my son, and my wife, and you still want me to protect your kingdom? Go to hell.

A large number of soldiers fled into the Zhou camp.

In fact, these few days are the best time to attack the city, but Yin Jiao and Yin Hong persuaded the generals, believing that Luoyi could be taken without bloodshed in the end, and there was no need to sacrifice the lives of the soldiers at this time.

It is said that the generals all understand that a kind person cannot command an army, but in the past few years, the Zhou side had suffered too many casualties. Now that one less person died, it was a good thing. The soldiers' war-weariness had long reached its peak, and no one wanted to die on the eve of victory.

The soldiers were tired of war, and no matter how high the prestige of the generals was, they dared not force them. If they caused a camp explosion at the last moment, they would all become the laughing stock of future generals.

Finally, he made up his mind to wait for King Zhou to destroy himself.

This wait lasted for nine days.
