Zhong Li said," He showed his magnanimity and left hope for himself. He also won't make enemies with others. It's killing three birds with one stone."”
"This is a righteous act."
"Mr. Zhong Li has his own explanation every time.”
Zhong Li shook his head.”
"Among the vassal kingdoms of the Xia Dynasty, the Shang Kingdom gradually grew stronger after Shangjia was destroyed.”
"The development of agriculture and animal husbandry, and the increase in social wealth, prompted the Shang clan to transition from clan system to slavery.”
"In order to expand their influence and plunder more slaves and wealth, by the time of Zhugui, the Shang Kingdom had become a vassal kingdom with the power of a king.”
The Shang Kingdom was small, but it depended on who it was compared to.
Compared to the Xia Dynasty, the Shang Kingdom was naturally a small vassal kingdom.
In the eyes of the other small Fang Kingdoms, the Shang Kingdom was a colossus.
"After Zhugui died, his son Tang succeeded him as the Marquis of Shang and established Shangqiu as his capital.”
"The Shang Kingdom had already moved the capital eight times since the Ancestor's Contract.”
"When Shang Tang succeeded Lord Gui as a vassal, the ruler of the Xia Dynasty, Jie, was arrogant, extravagant, indulgent, and tyrannical.”
"The cruel exploitation and enslavement of the people and the tribes of the Fang Country caused widespread hatred and opposition.”
"The Xia Dynasty's rule is unstable, and the country's power is gradually declining.”
Liu Suihe waved his hand, as if Shang Tang was attached to him.
"It's time for the Xia Dynasty to be destroyed.”
"In preparation for the destruction of Xia, Shang Tang moved the capital of Shang from Shangqiu to Bo in the 15th year of Xia Jie.”
"Tang built a new capital here in Bo, amassed provisions, recruited troops, and trained the army to create favorable conditions for the war to destroy Xia.”
"Originally, the Shang Kingdom was given the power of 'conquering' by the Xia Dynasty. If he wanted to conquer anyone, he could send troops without the approval of Emperor Xia.”
"But Tang is not going to conquer any ordinary marquis, but the Xia Dynasty that rules the entire country.”
"During the Shang Dynasty, the territory of the Shang Kingdom was only 70 li. In order to weaken the power of the Xia Dynasty and remove the obstacles to the destruction of the Xia Dynasty, he fought for more dukes to rebel against the Xia Dynasty.”
"First, we will start with the neighboring country of Shang, Ge. Ge is Xia Jie's eyes and ears, and is close to the west of Shang.”
"It was the first obstacle that prevented Shang Tang from attacking Xia. Shang Tang was the first to destroy Ge.”
"At that time, there was a great drought that never happened in a hundred years. The Shang Kingdom was barren for hundreds of miles, but Shang Tang decided to send troops.”
"Xia Jie held an alliance meeting, but some countries haven't arrived and openly rebelled.”
"Xia Jie decided to destroy Youmin first, then Shang. However, Xia's national strength was weak, and the war with Youmin made Xia Jie lose his elite army.”
"Ever since Xia Jie destroyed the You Min family, the internal conflicts within the ruling class intensified.”
"Does the Xia Dynasty really have no chance at all?”
Liu Suihe looked at the crowd below the stage.
"This, there should be."
"How is that possible? The other countries were not fools. How could they still support him?”
"Xingqiu, what do you think?"”
Xingqiu thought for a moment and said,"There should be." Just like what was said before, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse.”
"No matter how bad the Xia Dynasty is, it is still a country with 400 years of history.”
"In terms of common sense, as long as it is long enough, no matter how bad it is, there will be many supporters.”
The snake Obalos who had died hundreds of years ago, the God of Salt Heuriya, and the Crimson King of the desert.
Had anyone seen them before? Just say that they were their believers.
A god that has been dead for hundreds of years. Is he for you to eat or wear?
You don't even know what they look like, and you call them believers?
There were living gods who didn't believe, but there were dead gods who believed.
Moreover, the gods have been dead for hundreds of years, but you haven't gone extinct yet.
He didn't believe in himself, but in a god that had died hundreds of years ago.
"It's not like the Xia Dynasty doesn't have a chance to counterattack. Among the vassals and kingdoms of the Xia Dynasty, although there were many who had defected, there were also many who supported the Xia Dynasty.”
"It's not that there are no loyal to Xia Jie. In the eastern region, there are three vassal countries that are loyal to Xia Jie."
"Wei with the surname Peng, Gu with his own surname, and Kunwu with the same surname.”
"These three Xia Subordinate Countries are not small in power, and the regions they are in are closer to Shang.”
"If Xia Jie can make good use of the three countries, then Shang Tang destroying Xia is just a beautiful wish.”
"After Tang destroyed Ge, he conquered some vassals and kingdoms that did not submit to Shang."
"As the saying goes,'Eleven Conquests and Invincible.'”
"However, these three countries are determined to make Shang their enemy. They monitor Shang Tang's activities and often report to Xia Jie.”
"Tang, Yi Yin and Zhong Hui are determined to get rid of the three Xia Jie's wings.”
"In the twenty-second year of Xia Jie's reign, just as he was preparing to conquer Wei, Xia Jie learned that Tang was still continuing to conquer the vassals and expand Shang's power.”
"So he sent an envoy to the Shang Kingdom to summon Tang into the court.”
"Tang knows that now isn't the right time, so he didn't refuse and brought his followers to the capital of Xia.”
"When Xia Jie learned that Tang had arrived, he ordered Tang to be imprisoned in Xia Tai."
"After knowing that Xia Jie had imprisoned Tang, Yi Yin and Zhong Hui collected many treasures, toys, and beautiful women to offer to Xia Jie, asking him to release Tang.”
"Xia Jie is a greedy and lecherous man. When he saw the many treasures, toys, and beautiful women sent by Shang, he was very happy.”
"So he ordered Tang to be released back to Shang.”
"The matter of Xia Jie imprisoning Tang has caused even greater panic among the vassals and kingdoms.”
"All of you have joined Shang and are willing to help Tang destroy Xia.”
"On the same day, five hundred dukes went to Tang to take up their posts.”
"After Tang returned to Shang, the painful experience of being imprisoned made Shang Tang even more determined to destroy Xia.”
"So, Xia Jie is willing to let go of the Xia Dynasty's greatest threat just for a pile of treasures that are within his reach?”
Yun Jin didn't really understand, but she was shocked.
You, Emperor Xia, have all the treasures you want. Why did you let a big problem go back?
"Logically speaking, with the Xia Dynasty's strength, it's not impossible for them to lack money.”
He himself was short of money, and Morax didn't have Mor.
What was impossible?
"Hey, Xia Jie really doesn't have any money."
Liu Suihe folded his fan." The Xia Dynasty is already weak.”
"In addition to the large-scale construction, the people are in dire straits.”
"Now that we have been fighting for years, the rats in the national treasury can starve to death.”
"Eating meat, drinking wine, building palaces, fighting wars, which one doesn't need money?”
Morax didn't have Mola, Baalzeb didn't have Barr, and Babatos didn't have Baba.
Compared to these, wasn't it normal for Xia Jie to be poor?

PS: How should I put it? I've been reading the comments section and replying to them.
Some praised, some criticized, and some pointed out problems.
However, most of them said that it was impossible without a god.
There was nothing wrong with that. Indeed, it was impossible for Tivat to not have a god.
However, the core of the book was based on Zhong Li's desire to retire.
Zhong Li didn't want to retire, so the author didn't write the book.
So, if you think this book is not bad, please support it.
