Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 334 After offering sacrifices to the heavens, Zhang Liang talks about making an alliance. (Second more)
The four kings were moving forward, but Shangguan Jie's chariot fell behind halfway.The four kings are all here, and the alliance ceremony is about to start. As the host, Shangguan Ji is extremely busy.

Because today's alliance was facilitated by him, he is naturally unwilling to fail.Just like that, Shangguan tried his best to intervene in every detail.

He wants to start from the details and control the whole situation.Never leave a little in case, so that the overall situation collapses.

……

At this time, Shangguan Jie and the minister of rites came to the altar in the middle of Fengshan Xingyuan District, waiting for the arrival of the four kings.

This is a three-foot-high wooden altar, built according to the mountains. Because Shangguan tried his best to perfect it and forcibly recruited skilled craftsmen from Henan middle school, it is also very strong and majestic.

Looking from a distance, it gives a sense of solemnity.

Under the altar, there were five hundred armored knights from each of the four countries. A total of two thousand armored knights formed a huge circular cavalry formation, surrounding the altar in the center.

The altar is solemn and full of soldiers.At this moment, the two completely different images blend together perfectly without any conflict.

This altar was built according to ancient rituals.The end is magnificent and majestic, which is extremely shocking.

According to the tradition of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, every important alliance of princes must hold a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven, otherwise they will not be protected by heaven.

Because of this, Shangguan spared no expense and ordered Mianchi county magistrate to recruit young men to build this huge altar day and night.

It is for the Four Nations Alliance to achieve its goal!

Since ancient times, anyone who sacrifices to heaven must wait for a high mountain.It's just that there is no famous river in the Mianchi area, so it is really difficult to find a high place to worship the sky.

In desperation, Shangguan tried to ponder over and over again, and came up with a new idea, before he decided to sacrifice to heaven in the middle of Fengshan Mountain.

Fengshan is too small to climb high enough to see far away. As a place for offering sacrifices to heaven, it must be laughed at by people all over the world.It's just that Fengshan is located in the center of Henan Province and gathers the essence of the great river. It is really a treasured geomantic omen.

The most important thing is that the distance here is moderate, neither too far nor too close to the four countries of the alliance.This is also the reason why the four kings were able to attend the meeting in person.

Today, the four national alliances offer sacrifices to Fengshan Mountain, with the momentum of the middle of the mountain, the central structure, and this time the meaning of the alliance will also be revealed to the world.When Shangguan tried to play the king of Henan, he greatly agreed.

Because Shangguan tried his best to play, it was simply a matter of picking the best ones.Naturally, the king of Henan was overjoyed and immediately agreed.

On the steps of the altar, Shangguan was wearing a green shirt, his eyes were like torches.The cars of the monarchs of the four countries rumbled forward, and the sunlight of Fengshan under the rising sun penetrated the gaps in the leaves, as if covered with a layer of mystery.

"This scene is finally coming..." Shangguan squinted his eyes and couldn't help sighing.

He is a wise man, and he naturally saw the situation that this alliance will cause.It's just that he, like South Korea's Situ Zhangliang, did not stop, but further fueled the flames.

If you want to be reborn from the ashes, you must break through and then stand up.If the current Four Kingdoms remain unchanged, they will be annexed by Western Chu or Great Qin.

Only change, big change, can survive!
On the three-foot-high altar, five-color flags fluttered, and the altar was connected to the mountains and soared upwards, as if the heavens and the earth were formed, which was extraordinarily magnificent.

This time, Shangguan Ji himself served as the Minister of Rituals, and when he saw the arrival of the kings, he quickly stepped up to the altar, and said loudly: "Start up the ceremony and music, the four kings are on the stage—"

For a moment, Huang Zhong and Da Lu played a solemn and solemn song offering sacrifices to heaven. Headed by the King of Henan, the four kings stepped on the red felt and went straight up to the altar, taking a step backwards and forwards.

The four kings are in their prime of life, and they have their own strength. The 36 steps were climbed up in one breath, without any rest in the middle.

At this moment, the north wind howled.The five-color flags were torn in the wind, hunting, like giant dragons of various colors tumbling in mid-air.

The four kings stepped onto the altar, the Shangguan stared blankly, and once again announced loudly: "Please tell the heavens——!"

At this time, four civil servants walked over with copper trays, and the four Henan kings took out a scroll of letters from the copper trays.

The four kings bowed deeply to the three sacrifices on the long table in the center, then unfolded the bamboo slips, and recited the long sacrificial oracle that was hand-operated by the Shangguan.

"Hao Hao went to heaven, and Fu Wei told him: Western Chu is tyrannical, and Great Qin has no way. Now Wei, Han, Yin, and Henan are all in an alliance to fight against the enemy. Pray to God, bless our four countries, and we will always remember God."

Shen Yang and the other four read it very seriously. In this era, the theory of ghosts and gods is extremely respected and cared.

"The sacrificial ceremony is completed!" Shangguan chanted loudly, his whole body seemed quite excited.

In his view, once the sacrifice is completed, it means that the alliance has completely started.The situation on the land of the Central Plains will be greatly shaken by this.

In this way, his goal will also be achieved!
Henan Wang Shenyang stepped down from the altar, clasped his hands loudly and said: "Dare to invite the kings to go back to Xingyuan to rest, and hold the alliance ceremony at noon."

"Farewell—" The three kings were unwilling to stay, and they all bid farewell, because they all had their own plans and ideas.

They need to return to Xingyuan immediately, summon their respective advisors, and ponder the pros and cons of the next meeting and alliance ceremony.

At this time, no one wants to be careless.After all, the next step is the core of the alliance.And Henan Wang Shenyang also needs to discuss tomorrow's grand ceremony with Shangguan Ji.

Fengshan, who was still in the sky just now, with its flags and flags obscured, suddenly became quiet.

South Korea's Xingyuan District.

Han Wangcheng sat upright, facing the famous Zhang Liang.Due to various intricate relationships, coupled with the deep connection between Zhang Liang and South Korea.

At this time, facing Zhang Liang, Han Wangcheng felt a little pressure in his heart.

"Situ, what do you think about the alliance?" Han Wangcheng was only a middle-aged man, and the reason why he ascended the throne was all thanks to Zhang Liang.

Because of this, Han Wangcheng is quite self-aware.He knew that Zhang Liang was the mainstay of Korea, so he attached great importance to Zhang Liang's opinion.

After all, since the troubled times, Zhang Liang's talent has long been recognized by the world.

Hearing this, Zhang Liang sighed quietly, and said: "Henan, Yin, Western Wei, and Han are four countries. Western Wei is the strongest, and Yin is the weakest."

"Henan is in the second place, and South Korea is in the third. Moreover, the four countries are sandwiched between the two great powers of Western Chu and Great Qin, so their fate is ill-fated."

"Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, attempted to destroy the four kingdoms with a letter of credence. Although the Four Kingdoms Alliance can be resolved, it will definitely be completely hostile to Western Chu."

"Since Western Chu occupied Langya County, it has made no secret of its ambition to annex all the countries in the world. Since Qin II led the army to the east, the Great Qin Empire has been fighting steadily and steadily. It should not be underestimated."

"At this time, Han, Yin, Wei, and Henan cannot survive alone. The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Only by huddling together for warmth can there be a chance of survival."
