Chentangguan is adjacent to the East China Sea and is a dangerous place for military strategists.
Chao Ge set up a barrier here, which is equivalent to placing a steel knife next to Dong Bohou's pillow, ready to take his life at any time.
As a powerful general, Li Jing has been training his troops all year round, because if Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu rebels against business, he will definitely attack Chentangguan as soon as possible. If he cannot take it, let alone Chaoge, the entire rear area will not be peaceful.
"Nezha! You are telling the truth! King Wu Cheng is waiting for me outside the city with the king's decree?"
On the prosperous street, Li Jing's family of three rode horses and whips and hurried out of the city.
Nezha hung on Mrs. Yin's back and said excitedly:
"He also said he would take his children to Chaoge!"
Li Jing was confused, why did King Wu Cheng come to Chentangguan?
Even if Jiang Wenhuan rebelled, Chao Ge would not have known it earlier than him.
"Why don't you put some pants on him!"
Li Jing scolded Mrs. Yin.
Mrs. Yin retorted with cross eyes:
"Do you know how to take care of him now?"
Li Jing was speechless and his face was gloomy.
After a while, a group of people came to the city gate.
"Where is King Wu Cheng?"
Li Jing looked around and saw neither Chaoge's army nor Huang Feihu's banner.
"Dad! King Wu Cheng is on the tree!"
Nezha jumped off his horse and pointed to a tree.
On the tree?
Li Jing looked in the direction he pointed and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Huang Feihu, whose face was red, was seen tied to a tree with an extremely ugly expression. The five-colored sacred cow was lying at his feet enjoying the coolness.
Li Jing's face turned pale and he shouted at Nezha:
"You traitor! Hurry up and untie it!"
Huang Feihu snorted coldly, tilted his head and ignored Li Jing.
Nezha jumped in front of him, stretched out his hand to put away Huntian Ling, and after he landed, he hugged his legs and said:
"My dad is here! You can't cheat! Take me to Chaoge!"
Seeing this, Li Jing was so angry that he kicked Nezha hard on the butt and yelled angrily:
"Let go! Why did I give birth to such a bastard like you!"
His pupils were red:
"If I had known this, I should have killed you when you were born!"
Mrs. Yin quickly knelt in front of Huang Feihu and begged for mercy for Nezha:
"My son is so stupid that he was born after three years of pregnancy..."
Li Jing pulled out the sword from his waist and cursed:
"Why are you crying! This traitor should die to atone for his sins. I will clean up the house today!"
Huang Feihu, who was watching the show on the side, frowned slightly when he saw Li Jing drawing his sword.
"enough."
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
The seventh generation of the Huang family was loyal and good, and had been favored by the country for more than two hundred years. Huang Feihu and Di Xin grew up together, and they were relatives of the emperor. In addition, he was victorious in every battle, so his prestige can be imagined.
Li Jing gave Nezha a vicious look, knelt down and said:
"The last general, Li Jing, pays homage to King Wu Cheng! My son is naughty and I will let His Highness handle him now!"
Although the king of the Shang Dynasty was called a king, his real title was the same as the supreme god - "Emperor".
In order to distinguish, he is usually called king.
Huang Feihu's military exploits were unrivaled, so Emperor Xin gave him a royal title, which was one level lower than the "emperor". Li Jing called him "His Royal Highness", which was not against the rules.
He straightened his back, took out a jade plaque with a black bird printed on it, and said condescendingly:
"Your Majesty has decreed that Chentangguan Commander-in-Chief Li Jing and his family will be appointed as Chaoge within three days. The post of Commander-in-Chief will be temporarily replaced by the deputy commander-in-chief within the pass. There must be no mistake!"
Li Jing led Mrs. Yin to kowtow and shout long live.
"Get up."
Huang Feihu put away the jade token, then hung the Nezha on his leg around his waist, and asked Li Jing:
"You hold an important position. You must be well prepared for city defense before you leave. Go to Chaoge and don't ride on ordinary horses. Didn't the golden-eyed beast issued by the imperial court be raised to death?"
"If you don't raise it to death, you won't raise it to death."
Li Jing cupped his hands and thought that the golden-eyed beast was used to convey urgent military information. What exactly did it need to be used for?
Huang Feihu saw Li Jing's doubts and said lightly:
"In memory of your meritorious service in guarding the border, I want to let you know that Empress Nuwa will celebrate her birthday with the people of Dashang in Chaoge. Your family will be called upon to participate. This is a blessing that you will not be able to cultivate in eight lifetimes."
He struggled to "tear" Nezha off his legs, then hugged him around his waist, mounted the five-color sacred cow and floated into the air.
"I will bring this doll back to Chaoge first. You can't wait any longer. We will set off immediately after handing over the city defense!"
Without being allowed to speak to others, Huang Feihu left Chentangguan.
"Master, Nezha has been taken away!"
Mrs. Yin finally couldn't control herself, grabbed Li Jing's sleeve and burst into tears.
Li Jing turned a deaf ear and just froze on the spot and murmured:
"woke up?"
The biting coldness surged through his body from the soles of his feet, and he shivered even under the scorching sun.
After being stunned for a while, Li Jing suddenly remembered something, quickly took out a precious mirror from his arms, and said to the mirror:
"Is Jin Zha here?"
A breeze blew by, and Jin Zha's face appeared in the mirror:
"Dad? What's wrong?"
Li Jing's hands were shaking violently, "Hurry up and ask Mu Zha to come back with you. King Wu Cheng has brought the king's instructions, asking our family to go to Chaoge to celebrate the birthday of Empress Nuwa."
Hearing this, Jin Zha smiled and said:
"Dad, Muzha and I have entered the Immortal Sect. According to the rules, we are not affiliated with the Yin Shang. You and your mother can just take Nezha with you."
"You think I've never cultivated to become an immortal!" Li Jing's eyes widened angrily, his pupils bloodshot, "Dazhu, wake up! We are called upon to go as a family!"
Jin Zha's face was full of confusion, "Who is Da Zhu?"
"Ask your master!"
Li Jing put the precious mirror back into his arms, helped Mrs. Yin and walked towards the city gate.
Before entering the city, he looked in the direction of Chaoge, but what appeared in his mind was not the majestic city, but a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
In his early years, he sought immortality and asked for help. Although he had no success, he gained a lot of knowledge.
Li Jing was one of the few sober Shang generals.
He knew the reason why the royal family's rule was weakening - too much killing.
The Great Shang had strong military power. Under the leadership of their ancestor Cheng Tang, they overthrew Baoxia and conquered eight hundred princes to unify the human race.
But no matter how much the Shang kings loved their people like their own children and how much they recuperated, they could not prevent the Shang Dynasty from perishing.
After all, demons feel inferior to the royal family's customs.
When you get up, you have to divine and kill people, when you eat, you have to divine and kill people, and when you go out, you have to divine and kill people...
Not to mention large-scale sacrifices, where thousands of people are not killed at any one time.
Moreover, there is a fundamental difference between a sacrifice with big blessings and a sacrifice without big blessings.
Without great blessings, the frequency of royal sacrifices will become less and less. The lack of response from the ancestors proves that they are exhausted. The more sacrifices they make, the more this is proved.
With the great blessing, the sacrifices have meaning. The royal family will continue to mobilize troops to fight, and capture prisoners of war and slaves to serve as sacrifices. If there are not enough, they will ask the princes to offer sacrifices.
Now that the four major princes have been recuperating for decades, they are already threatening to compete with Chaoge. It is only a matter of time before the whole world rebels.
They would not obediently send their people to Chaoge as human sacrifices, and giving in would only make the blood-thirsty monster of the royal family even more greedy.
Li Jing is not afraid of war. The reason why he is afraid when he hears the big wish is because of his neighbor and old friend-the Dragon King of the East China Sea.
Ao Guang has joined the Heavenly Court and was canonized by the Heavenly Emperor as the Righteous God who moves clouds and spreads rain.
Mrs. Yin was from the Yin Shang clan. Even though her bloodline was so thin that she was not even allowed to have a surname, Li Jing could still learn some royal secrets through this relationship.
There is nothing that the great Zhus of all dynasties hate most than worshiping strange gods.
The existence of the Dragon King of the East China Sea has seriously challenged Da Zhu's authority. Once he learns of it, he will definitely launch an army to attack him.
When the time comes, if you allow the people to worship the Dragon King, it will be easy for you to be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.
