Meng Jin Reveals His Might
（10）
The troops entered a flat, barren land. Due to the lack of rain for a long time, the depression had dried up, revealing the hardened soil. The weeds began to wither, showing the desolate scene after autumn. This place was Mengjin. In spring, when the Yellow River flooded, this place became a vast ocean, so it was named by the locals. In fact, this place was more of a ferry where passersby gathered. Now, the lowland was full of people, vehicles, and horses, densely packed and seemingly in a mess that stretched all the way to the northern slope. In reality, these people were all acting according to the instructions they had received, gathering at the designated location and waiting for orders.
The Martial King had chosen this place as the camp for the army to set up camp in order to facilitate the movement of the troops. The troops of the various marquises surrounded the mountain slope and set up camp. The main tent of the central army was set up on the hillside, facing a wide flat depression. As soon as he walked out of the tent, he could clearly see the movements of the various armies at the foot of the mountain.
King Wu walked briskly up the hill and stepped into the tent that had been set up long ago. In the tent, Uncle Cai and Lei Zhen surrounded Lu Shang and looked at the map. Bi Gonggao was pointing at Lu Shang with his finger.
King Wu was very satisfied and said," This place is very good and suitable. The terrain is very conducive to the deployment of troops. It can accommodate a large army of more than 100,000 troops. I think we can let our army rehearse tomorrow.”
"We are discussing this problem. Come and take a look.”Lu Shang pointed at the map and said to King Wu," The flat ground near the hill is the central area in front of the tent. It will be the command post. The convoy could move from the southwest to the northeast. At the foot of the hill, there were several formations that could be arranged.”
The Martial King looked at Lu Shang's solemn expression, then at the rest of the crowd. The others, on the other hand, had excited expressions on their faces, and their bodies were filled with a sense of drive. He said," The army is here to test the formation. As generals, not only do you have to understand the offensive and defensive capabilities of your troops, but more importantly, you have to master the principles of combat. Only on the battlefield can you flexibly apply them according to the specific situation.”
After sitting down beside Lu Shang, the Martial King continued,""Father Shang, tell us the principles of war.”King Wu asked Shang Fu to answer this question so that his relatives could listen to Lu Shang's teachings.
Lu Shang looked at the Martial King, then at the others. At this moment, Zhou Gongdan had also entered. The main backbone of the Zhou clan was here. Lu Shang understood King Wu's intention. He wanted to educate his clan relatives and understand the principles of combat, so he said seriously,"The principle of war is to first understand the situation on the battlefield, and the situation changes with the enemy's actions. When the two armies faced each other, they had to be able to react in time. Generals must have the wisdom to use strange and upright methods, so that they can understand the principles of war and grasp the principles of combat. The important principle of using troops required that combat operations should not be exposed to the enemy, that they should come and go suddenly, that they should act arbitrarily and not be controlled by others, and that they should be able to attack the enemy without alerting him.”At this point, Lu Shang paused, and the tent fell silent. He continued,"In addition, the general must understand the reason for the changes in the world, grasp the laws of the movement of the sun and moon, and understand the enemy's situation. Only then can he be able to surprise the enemy and have the confidence to win when he attacks. The principle of combat was that the army would not be disturbed when it was in standby mode, and they would not let go of the opportunity once they seized it. Once they made a decision, they would not hesitate. When attacking, it was as fast as thunder, and as fast as lightning. They advanced like galloping horses, and the battle was like a storm. When a general uses troops to fight, he can be called a god if he can be silent and confident. If the situation is not clear but he can see the clues, he is called Ming. If you master the truth of the gods, you can defeat the enemy and win.”
"Well said, Father Shang!" Zhou Gongdan could not help but say. Amongst his brothers, other than the Martial King, he was the only one who was good at planning and fighting. Thus, he was often taken care of by the Martial King and Lu Shang.
"Also, the requirements for a general are very high. As a general, it was not enough to understand the principles of war. He also had to pay attention to the following aspects: If one didn't know how to attack, they wouldn't be able to fight. If one did not know how to use their troops flexibly, they would not be able to win by surprise. If one did not understand the military's order and chaos, as well as the reasons for it, one would not be able to adapt to the situation. In addition, one must also know that if the general is not benevolent, the soldiers will not support him. If the general is not brave, the army will have no fighting strength. If the general is not smart, his actions will be hesitant. If the general does not consider the problem carefully, he will lose the opportunity to fight. If the general was not wise, the army would be defeated. In short, the general was the master of the army. With a shrewd general, a strong country could prosper. Otherwise, a weak country would perish. As generals, you should all study hard.”Lu Shang pointed at the map and said," Today, the army has arrived at Mengjin. All of you have to cooperate with the Martial King and prepare for battle. Especially since so many marquises have come, all of you should set an example. So far, how many marquises have arrived?”Lu Shang asked.
Zhou Gongdan answered," There are more than 600 of them now. They have brought a total of 48,000 people. Including us, the total is more than 92,000." There are more than three hundred and fifty chariots in total."
Lu Shang raised his head and looked at the Martial King. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Tomorrow, we'll start with the war chariots of our country.”King Wu said to Uncle Cai and Lei Zhen,"Tomorrow, you have to listen to the command and rehearse the army formation well. You must first establish the military prestige of our Zhou Country among the marquises."”
Early the next morning, as soon as King Wu walked out of the tent, many marquises came to inquire and await his orders. King Wu politely saluted the marquises and asked them to gather on the hillside to watch the Zhou army drill. More and more people gathered on the hill. All the marquises of the various countries came here on foot to listen to King Wu's orders. When they heard that the Martial King was leading an army to the east, they brought their subordinates to join the battle. They had been exploited by King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty and were filled with resentment. They all wanted to follow King Wu of Zhou to Shangdu and kill King Zhou. They believed that the Martial King would lead them to the Eastern Expedition to vent their hatred. When they rushed over, they were filled with confidence and carried a majestic aura. When King Wen was still alive, he had joined forces with the marquises of various countries to attack the barbaric Di Rong tribe in the northwest many times, eliminating the scourge of the marquises 'harassment, which led to the current stable situation. However, in recent years, King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty had imposed exorbitant taxes, which exceeded the tolerance of the people. As soon as the external disaster stopped, internal troubles arose again. This could not help but cause the marquises to reunite. When King Wu led his army to the eastern expedition, they jumped for joy and joined him. However, King Wu stationed his troops in Mengjin and asked the marquises to watch the drill. It was also uncertain whether he would enter Shangdu after the drill. The marquises waited for the Martial King's movements with hope and faith.
At this moment, Lu Shang was also busy at the foot of the hill. He gathered the chiliarchs, centurions, and the generals of the Zhou Country to explain the matters of the military formation. Every year, the Zhou army would hold a drill for the formation. In the past two years, they had emphasized the formation of chariots and carriages. Although the time was short, the soldiers were basically familiar with the formation he requested, but it was only carried out on a small scale in the western wasteland, limited by the terrain. Today, the army was gathered in the vast depression of Mengjin, and they could deploy their entire army. During the Eastern Expedition, the east was flat and vast wilderness, which was very conducive to the use of chariots and large-scale vehicle formations. This drill was very necessary to further test the situation of the coordinated battle of the army. Lu Shang explained the requirements and the rules of the transformation formation before asking everyone,""Are you all clear?"
"I understand, Your Honor." Everyone was already familiar with the drill. Today's request was only to merge the small square formations into a large square formation and carry out the operation in unison. They all answered in unison.
"Alright, that's it." Lu Shang gave the final order,"Let's begin.”Everyone dispersed and hurried back to their respective troops. Lu Shang brought Zhou Gongdan and Lei Zhen up the hill.
Lu Shang climbed up the hill and walked along the path that the marquises had cleared. He walked straight to King Wu and said,""Martial King. Everything was set up, and they could start the practice immediately.”
King Wu said,"Shang Fu, you've worked hard. You should rest first."”He looked down at the dense army at the foot of the hill. They were slowly wriggling and forming a formation.
King Wu shouted to the marquises,"All the marquises of the various kingdoms. Since ancient times, generals had to pay the price of blood in battles. In order to avoid losses, reduce bloodshed, and strive for greater victory. Our country's Imperial Advisor, Lu Shang, based on his previous experience and the current equipment of the army, organized the army into a battle formation to display their collective strength and increase their combat effectiveness. Now, everyone present, please take a look at the Zhou army's battle formation. Look."
When the marquises heard King Wu's words, they followed King Wu's finger and looked over. At this moment, an orderly army was already lined up on the flat land below the hill. With the chariot as the center, the small square formations were arranged at a certain distance from each other. Looking at this formation, they praised each other. At this moment, King Wu's voice rang out in his ear." Our army's formation has been formed after two winters of training. After the marquises saw this, they also led their troops to train.”
King Wu turned around and asked,"Can we start?"”
Lu Shang waved at the command tower on the left side of the hill and said,""Send the order to prepare." Following that, the sound of drums could be heard. Everyone turned around and noticed that the command tower was a two-story structure. It was constructed from wooden pillars and planks. The upper level was a watchtower with a half-height board. There was no canopy and it was about ten feet square. Two people stood there, waiting for orders. The lower level was an empty frame with only wooden pillars. It was surrounded by wind. On the side facing the hillside were five big drums. The five drummers held sticks with both hands and beat in unison. After three beats and a pause, the drums sounded, making people's spirits rise. The marquises held their breaths, and the drumbeats traveled along the hillside to the flat land, activating the army formation. The armored soldiers and the servants following the chariot quickly gathered together. All the soldiers stood upright. Looking down from above, one could see a large square formation, neatly, solemnly, and mightily arranged. The flag fluttered in the wind, and it was colorful. The sharp blades of various weapons could be vaguely seen flashing under the rising sun. A red flag appeared on the tower, and the large square formation moved forward. The sound of drums and horses 'hooves was accompanied by the sound of neat footsteps, forming a symphony of the square formation marching forward. It was mighty and powerful. The formation moved closer to the hill and stopped.
" Lei Zhen," Lu Shang called out." Send the order to set up a defensive formation."”
The yellow flag appeared on the tower and shook three times from left to right, pausing and repeating itself. Lei Zhen's sonorous voice traveled from the hillside to the depression," Set up the defensive formation, left-right-scatter-open-."”
The convoy was in chaos, with five carriages as a unit and arranged into columns, and the columns were side by side. Soon, the troops quieted down. The marquises looked over and saw that the square formation had become a rectangular formation. The chariots were lined up side by side, and the gap between them was relatively small. The soldiers held shield platoons and lined up in front of the chariots. They tightly hugged each other, forming a shield wall that surrounded the chariots. This was a defensive formation.
King Wu said to the marquises," You should also train your army formation like the Zhou army. Now that the power of the army formation has been taken seriously, you should learn well.”
Then, he practiced the changes of the defensive formation. After a short pause, Lu Shang gave the order to disband the defensive formation and form a charging formation. Following Lei Zhen's shout, the drum beat changed into a rhythmic and continuous heavy sound. The sound was heard bit by bit,"Tong-----Tong--------”The yellow flag on the tower was also hidden and replaced with a red flag. The battle formation became chaotic again. The left and right sides turned around and spread out. The rear part of the formation in the middle quickly spread out. Immediately after, with the rapid sound of drums, the scattered chariots turned around and faced the hill again. Five chariots formed a triangular formation. With the waving of the red flag, the small square formation slowly gathered in front of the hillside. The front line stopped in front of the hill. At this moment, a new army appeared in front of the marquises. Groups of triangular carriages were scattered in formation.
The marquises watched from the hillside, their mouths agape. Their solemn expressions could not conceal the excitement in their hearts. They were all shocked by the Zhou army's well-trained, orderly formation, and rapid evolution. Everyone clicked their tongues in praise. Their gazes of admiration fell on the Martial King and Lu Shang. They looked at one and then another. The young and strong Martial King, with the assistance of the resourceful Lu Shang, could truly be invincible. This added a sense of reverence to their hearts.
Lu Shang said,"Our army has been training the chariot formation for a long time, so we are familiar with the changes in the formation. This is the formation I set up according to the changes of the sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes demonstrated by King Wen. Keep quiet to defend, move to attack hard. Defend like a mountain, rush like a broken dike. Defend with a long array as the shape, left and right can change a lot, can be square round, square to move the array, round to wait for rest, the battle is rectangular, the enemy attacks the center, the two sides can be clamped to stop, attack one side, the other side can circle around to attack the enemy's side. "This is a large square formation formed by small triangular square formations." Lu Shang pointed at the formation that had already formed at the foot of the mountain and said,"It is mainly used for charging. With a front and a back, you can attack the enemy with a sharp corner. Now, please look at the charging formation." Lu Shang ordered again," Go left." The red flag waved again, and the drum beat rapidly. The triangular formation turned to the side, with the top-corner carriage on the left as the vanguard, moving to the left. Slowly, the front formation quickly moved out of the sight of the marquises. Lu Shang ordered them to stop moving and immediately ordered them to turn to the right. Then, he ordered them to charge forward quickly. The formation of carriages roared, one after another. Each triangular formation maintained a certain distance and galloped from left to right at the same speed. When the formation passed the hillside, the soldiers who rushed in quickly and maintained their formation rolled by. The formation of the soldiers following behind the carriages was neat and magnificent. The marquises couldn't help but shout at the vigorous momentum of the galloping formation. Together with the dust rolling in front of them, they were eager to give it a try and clenched their fists.
After the soldiers rushed over, they left behind a long trail of dust and fog. The humid air of the morning spread to the hillside. When the wind blew, it made people feel as if they were floating in the air.
Chen Zhuhou excitedly ran to King Wu and said,""I didn't expect that the Martial King and the Imperial Advisor would train such a powerful army. There were so many unpredictable and powerful things. Martial King, these formations…"
Lu Shang had just returned to the Martial King's side. When he heard Chen Zhuhou's words and saw his excitement, he interrupted as if he was infected,"These formations are only human formations. There were also Heaven and Earth Formations. They looked unchanged on the surface, but when they moved, they changed endlessly. Their power was boundless.”
"Ah, Grand Tutor, this…" Chen Zhuhou said," This…there are better Heaven and Earth Formations. These formations are enough for us to practice.”
King Wu said,"Yes, ask the Imperial Advisor to explain these formations to you."”He smiled and looked at Lu Shang.
Lu Shang laughed heartily." Young people are good at asking questions. Of course, I will answer all your questions and grant all your requests.”He made a gesture to Chen Zhuhou." The formation is based on the positions of the sun, moon, stars, and other celestial phenomena. It is called the Heavenly Formation. The universe was vast, and its power was boundless. This kind of formation was imitated, and its changes were even more unpredictable. Using hills, lakes, and other terrains to set up a formation was called an Earth Formation. This kind of formation had the help of geographical advantage and was very powerful when changed. The formation was based on the type of soldier and combat technique used. It was called a human formation. What we were practicing just now was a human formation. This kind of formation relies on the wisdom of the human. If the three formations could be used together, they would have the power of heaven, the terrain, and manpower to make the army invincible. However, in order to rehearse such a formation, a wise commander was required, and the soldiers were required to cooperate and act closely. They had to make use of the changes in the terrain and set up the array according to the weather. Therefore, it was very difficult. Our army is working hard to do so."
"No matter how difficult it is, we still have to practice the military formation. Let's start with the human formation, just like…”Chen Zhuhou requested as he turned around and pointed at the bottom of the hill. At this moment, the army formation moved back. This time, they advanced slowly, as if they were moving mountains and overturning seas. Chen Zhuhou paused. He paused for a moment before saying,"King Wu, Imperial Preceptor, quickly teach us so that we can participate in the military drill."”
King Wu smiled and said,"The old man is anxious again." Our army had to go through two years of training to arrange themselves in such a formation. You can't rehearse it in a short time. However, it was still possible to learn and grasp some principles. Watch carefully again and memorize the formation. Then, ask Father Shang to guide you in arranging the formation.”
Lu Shang continued,"King Wu is right. We cannot be too hasty. Only by training the army step by step could they finally achieve the effect of unifying the entire army. First of all, the general had to be familiar with the formation and tell the soldiers how to listen to the command of the drum and the signals of the various flags. Then, he told the soldiers how to drill and how to change according to the changes in the command signals. During the specific training, the individual coach would be conducted first. After the individual coach was done, the ten people would train together. After the training of ten people was completed, another hundred people would train together, another thousand people would train together, and another ten thousand people would train together until the entire army trained together. This way, it would be very difficult to train for the learning battle. However, if they trained a strong army with strong combat strength, they would be able to shake the world. Chen Zhuhou, as long as he had confidence and perseverance, he would definitely be able to train a powerful army. Continue watching." As he spoke, Lu Shang commanded the army to rehearse again. Next, they rehearsed various military laws, square formations, circular formations, cone formations, long dragon formations, and the changes of various formations.
On the mountain and down the mountain, there was a tense and excited atmosphere. Although there were many people, all of them were deeply attracted by this scene and were silent. Before he knew it, it was past noon, and Lu Shang ordered the army to withdraw. The army gathered towards the center and gathered in front of the hill according to their original formation. The marquises on the hillside recalled what they had seen with their own eyes for half a day, and now they looked at the team at the foot of the mountain in a new light. They looked on in awe, their emotions surging. Each of them had a slightly ashamed expression on their faces. They thought about their own troops, and there was really a huge difference. However, they felt a hundred times more proud to be able to rely on such a strong force to fight together. The crowd was filled with excitement.
Just as the marquises were discussing fervently, a few troops were rushing over from the south and the north. None of the marquises noticed. Soon, these teams arrived at the foot of the hill. The marquises were busy asking each other questions and giving pointers because these troops had unintentionally stopped beside the Zhou army's troops. The messy formation of the two armies formed a strong and obvious contrast. The marquises on the hill saw this and thought," Isn't my team almost as messy as this?" The new marquises were the marquises of Yu and Sheng from the north of Mengjin, as well as the marquises of Ju from the south. They also brought a few small marquises. They left behind their respective teams and carriages, and under Bi Gonggao's lead, they climbed up the hill and ran toward the large tent with the Martial King at the center.
Three days later, all the marquises gathered in Mengjin had basically grasped the rules of the simple formation. They also trained their own troops according to the requirements. Although their proficiency in changing the formation was not satisfactory, they managed to organize the scattered troops into an orderly formation that could adapt to simple changes. In these few days, there were still many marquises who came to join. There were more than 800 marquises, big and small, who came to Mengjin.
It was time for the Martial King to prepare for the inspection. On this day, he and Lu Shang were busy assigning tasks. Under the command of Duke Dan of Zhou, Duke Shuang of Zhao, Duke Gao of Bi, Uncle Cai, and Lei Zhen, the troops of the various marquises entered their designated positions. All the marquises gathered on the hill and surrounded the tent. The atmosphere on the mountain was very excited.
On a small slope in front of the tent, a small earthen altar was set up. It was temporarily piled up with dirt. The Martial King stood against the wind. The rising sun shone on his face, making him look even more energetic.
King Wu said loudly,"All the marquises and soldiers of the Western Regions, I have inherited my father's will and will. Today, he was here in Mengjin to meet all the troops of the various marquises. They were all preparing for the Eastern Expedition. In the past few days, the marquises had watched the Zhou army's array performance and practiced imitating it. Today, we are holding a grand inspection here to observe the armies of the various vassal states of the Western Regions that have gone through the drill. Now, I would like to invite our country's Imperial Advisor, Lu Shang, to explain the order and requirements of the inspection.”After he finished speaking, King Wu took a step back and said to Lu Shang,""Father Shang, you said it."
After a series of shouts, there was silence again.
Lu Shang took a step forward and stood at the spot where the Martial King had just stood. He looked around at the sea of people on the hillside and said in a steady and loud voice,"Today, all the marquises of the Western Regions are here. You all know that a saint once appeared in the wilderness of the western frontier. He brought us great benefits. He was King Wen of Zhou. The Zhou Country was located in the barren land of the western border and was sparsely populated. Under the guidance of King Wen's benevolent politics, he gathered the people and cultivated the wasteland. After decades of hard work, he finally developed and became a powerful country in the western border.”
When Lu Shang said this, shouts sounded from the mountains and the foot of the mountain again.
After a pause, Lu Shang raised his hand high to signal for silence. He continued,"In this way, the neighboring marquises followed suit and benefited greatly. The people of the western frontier were living and working in peace and prosperity. Thus, King Wen became the ruler of the western frontier supported by the people. When King Wen was still alive, he was determined to conquer the Eastern Expedition, expand the territory of the saints, and save the people. For this, he conscientiously contributed his life's energy. Now, King Wu was in the prime of his life, wise and talented. Ever since he ascended the throne, he had also served King Wen's cause and promoted the benevolent politics of the sage to the world. He inherited his father's will and followed the wishes of the people. Today, they will be marching east and meeting the marquises in Mengjin. On this hill, there were more than 800 marquises from all directions. I was entrusted by King Wen to assist King Wu in his great cause. Today, they finally met up with the various vassals of the various countries. This was the blessing of the gods who helped King Wen.”
Lu Shang paused for a moment, and the hill fell silent. All the marquises stared at Lu Shang.
Lu Shang changed the topic and his tone became deeper." However, we are all commoners. There are many people and many soldiers. We have different orders and actions. The armies gathered together were still like a plate of sand. Their unity was not solid and they were easy to scatter. This time to the eastern expedition, the road is long, the enemy is strong, difficult. In order to ensure that the Eastern Expedition is a sure win, we must unite the armies of the various marquises of the Western Regions. I suggest that--------”When Lu Shang said this, he deliberately dragged out his voice and repeated," I propose that all the marquises of the various countries form a true alliance. We will elect a person with high moral standing and intelligence as the leader of the alliance. He will lead all the marquises and armies to ensure the victory of the Eastern Expedition.”
At this point, Lu Shang stopped and looked at the quiet sea of people at the foot of the mountain. He thought that although this proposal could be supported by the marquises, it needed someone to initiate it. Under the powerful situation of the Zhou army, the marquises would not dare to command without permission.
There was silence, followed by a buzz of discussion. At this moment, Chen Zhuhou, who was standing at the front of the stage, suddenly shouted,"I propose to elect Martial King as our alliance leader.”Then, he turned to the crowd on the hill and said word by word,"Martial King inherited his father's ambition and governed the Great Zhou. He will definitely be a good alliance leader and lead us on the eastern expedition. What do you think?"
"I agree." Marquis Rui agreed and turned to glance at Marquis Yu.
The marquises of Yu thought of the years when they fought with the marquises of Rui and went to the Zhou Country to ask King Wen for judgment. Who knew that once they entered the Zhou Country's territory, they would see the people living happily, using the Dao as the boundary, not fighting for it; With the road as the order, follow the old and give way to the young, the master and servant live in peace, the grain is abundant, it is a pleasant and peaceful scene. Thinking about it, what the two of them were fighting for was still something that the people of Zhou were ashamed of. They felt ashamed and returned home halfway without meeting King Wen. From then on, the two countries lived in harmony and became friendly neighbors. When he saw Rui Zhuhou's gaze, he immediately stood up and shouted,""I support the Martial King as the alliance leader." As he spoke, he poked the other marquises beside him.
The voices of approval grew louder and louder, gradually increasing until they were all one. A unified slogan finally echoed over the hillside: "Martial King as Alliance Leader." "Martial King as Alliance Leader." A wave of sound gradually spread from the hillside to the foot of the mountain.
When the soldiers at the foot of the mountain saw the scene on the hill, they also raised their flags and waved their weapons enthusiastically, cheering in response. Seeing this situation, the marquises had already reached a consensus on asking the Martial King to be the alliance leader. It was also the only main voice at this moment.
After a long period of pleading, a silent scene appeared.
Lu Shang took this opportunity to shout at the marquises,"Martial King is highly respected by the masses. We have unanimously elected him as the alliance leader. Now, he was just waiting for the Martial King to agree to take on the responsibility of the alliance leader.”
The Martial King stood out again. His calm face revealed excitement as he said loudly to the marquises,"Thank you for your support and choosing me as the alliance leader. I will definitely inherit my father Wang Deren's politics and complete the cause of conquering Zhou.”
The marquises cheered again, and the sound waves echoed on the hillside and in the open space for a long time.
Lu Shang had no choice but to raise his hands to signal for everyone to stop shouting. He announced the start of the inspection and explained the requirements. Then, he said,"Everyone, return to your team and act according to the instructions. Let our alliance leader inspect you.”With that, he ordered the drums to be beaten. The drums began to beat fiercely, and the marquises quickly returned to their troops.
On the hill, only the Martial King, Lu Shang, and the people who were in charge of the signal were left.
The inspection began. The lowlands of Mengjin Plain were filled with murderous intent. The armies of the various marquises were uneven, with varying numbers and formations. After two or three days of practice, they were already able to arrange the required formation according to the command and had also mastered the simple transformation formation. Now, all of them held their heads high and held their weapons as they marched forward. The dust under his feet rolled up into clouds of smoke, which rolled up into the sky.
The inspection lasted until dusk.
