After Zhou Youwang ascended the throne, the rule of the Western Zhou Dynasty finally ended. Zhou Youwang is a king who only knows beer and skittles all day. One day, someone gave him a very beautiful girl named Bā o. But this beautiful woman is moping all day and never smiles. Zhou Youwang tried her best, but failed to make her laugh. So he offered a reward of 1200 gold coins, saying that whoever could make a compliment smile would give him the gold coins. There was an apple polisher named Master Guo, who quickly gave an idea. In the evening, Zhou Youwang climbed Mount Li with praise. It turns out that in ancient times, in order to prevent foreign invasion, a beacon tower was usually built every few miles in a relatively high-lying place.
After discovering the enemy, the guards in front quickly lit the bonfire. When the guards on the second beacon tower in the rear saw the fireworks, they lit the bonfire. In this way, one bonfire after another burned up, and when the nearby governors saw it, they would lead troops to save it. More than twenty beacon towers have been built around Mount Li. Zhou Youwang climbed Mount Li and immediately asked the soldiers to light a bonfire. So at night, the flames are blazing and the smoke is rolling. When the nearby governors saw it, they thought that Xirong's army had arrived and immediately led troops to rescue them.
Commend jun saw a lot of military forces coming at the foot of Mount Li, and rushed over together in a panic. They stumbled like headless flies, shouted the slogan of rescue, and finally smiled happily. The overseers and soldiers who came to the rescue were shocked to see that there was not even the shadow of an enemy on the mountain, only the faint drums. At this time, Zhou Youwang sent someone to tell everyone: "You have worked hard. There is nothing here. The son of heaven and the princess are playing with a bonfire. Let's go home! " "The governors knew that they had been cheated and left angrily.
Before long, Xirong's army really came in. Zhou Youwang received the news of Xirong's massive invasion, and soon people lit a bonfire on Mount Li. But this time, the bonfire lit, but no princes led the troops to save it. Xirong's army quickly attacked Haojiang, killed Zhou Youwang, took away the praise and took away the mountains of treasures of the Zhou Dynasty. [Note: Praise: Praise China people, the second queen of Zhou Youwang, a famous beauty in history. According to legend, she didn't like to laugh by nature. In order to please her, Zhou Youwang actually "started a war". ]
