Not far away, several people arrived very quickly, shouting loudly.
"I heard that the prime minister and the young master were drinking in the rain, so they came here to dance with their swords to make them smile."
When he got closer, Shen Xin saw these people clearly, and his heart suddenly "thumped".
This person seems...
What the hell.
He actually still has that standard chrysanthemum face.
Shen Xin's eyes suddenly fell on Old Huang.
It turned out that when Lao Huang returned, he heard that Jiang Ziya led his troops to Dr. Shen's place, and he was worried that something might be wrong.
They hurriedly found Lu Xiaobing. They came in spite of the conflict, only to see King Wen, Prime Minister and Doctor Shen standing in the tent, seemingly drinking.
Just then he calmed down, and Lu Xiaobing beside him directly kicked down several guards and stood up with his sword drawn.
Jiang Ziya seemed to have expected it, with a calm expression. After seeing Lao Huang, he stroked his beard and smiled:
"Hahaha, it turns out to be Manager Huang and General Lu."
"Ziya only has the same interests as the doctor and talks about heroes while drinking. Isn't it overkill to use my army commander to dance with swords for fun?"
"Hurry up and get a drink with Mr. Huang. General Lu will calm down."
Shen Xin:......
Ji Chang also smiled and hurriedly waved his hand to disperse the guards behind him, signaling everyone not to worry.
After Shen Xin was silent, he felt sad.
This is not the result he wants...
Everything happened so fast, like a tornado.
You're messing with me, you're messing with me!
But it's a pity that Ji Chang has no such idea at present. He is still praising Dr. Shen, and even hurriedly stepped forward in front of everyone.
"I have never met Mr. Chang Jiumu's famous name. Now I am lucky enough to hear the doctor talking about the heroes of the world. I feel extremely ashamed.
"If we talk about the world's heroes, Doctor Shen is none other than Dr. Shen!"
The unhesitating voices of appreciation and respect echoed around, making everyone in the venue feel extremely shocked.
The weight of this sentence is self-evident.
If it came from an ordinary person, it would be just a joke and no one would care.
But the man in front of him is the Lord of Xiqi, Wen Wang Jichang, who has hundreds of thousands of princes in armor and whose reputation for benevolence is resounding throughout Xiqi.
This is quite different.
Shen Xin's name may be heard throughout Xiqi overnight.
But after hearing this, Lao Huang, who was beside him, was not happy for his young master at all. Instead, he was almost frightened to death.
How can these words be said nonsense? If they spread to Chaoge, they will spread to the world.
Wouldn't that young master become the target of public criticism? Not only would all the princes be dissatisfied with him, but even King Zhou would be afraid of him.
Lao Huang swallowed hard. He felt that the young master was really in danger this time.
If he does not choose to stay in Xiqi, even if he returns to Chaoge, there will be no good end, and even Xiqi will not let the young master leave easily.
Lao Huang secretly winked at the young master.
Biubiu.
Master, look at me.
Shen Xin ignored it completely, he was focusing on Ji Chang.
The Lord of Xiqi in front of me is indeed not as simple as imagined.
In the name of benevolence and righteousness, he acts like a king and has the ambition to swallow up the sky.
Very good, in this case the danger to yourself will be even greater.
But for the sake of stability, it is better for me to say something.
Thinking of this, Shen Xin interrupted directly and took the initiative to attract the attention of Ji Chang and Jiang Ziya.
"It is said that heroes emerge from troubled times, and troubled times can make people make desperate determination. King Wen's ambition is so high that he may have soared to the sky, but isn't he afraid that Chaoge's attack will be completely defeated and disaster will come to Xiqi?"
The meaning of Shen Xin's words is that I have already known that you are going to rebel. If you don't kill me, Yin Shang will immediately send a large army to wipe out Xiqi, which has not developed at this moment.
You should understand, right?
But Ji Chang didn't hear the key point of Doctor Shen's words, and instead murmured to himself.
"Heroes emerge from troubled times... Yes, only heroes emerge from troubled times..."
Ji Chang murmured to himself, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Shen Xin was the talent he was looking for.
Ji Chang was well versed in the art and was good at performing Bagua, and he knew in his heart that he was afraid that his time would be numbered.
Now seeing Shen Xin, his eyes lit up.
When he was young, he also inspired to clear the country's borders thousands of miles away, ride horses across the wilderness, rejuvenate the country and secure it, and walk through fire and water.
But things in the world are unpredictable, and he is jealous of villains, so he has to pretend to be crazy and act stupid, waiting for the opportunity to benefit future generations.
Youli spent seven years cultivating his wisdom and talents, and he endured for several years to observe the outline of the court.
Seeing the ruins and desolation of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the world is full of evil, and the four pirates and thieves have gathered together.
It was originally a bird in a cage and a fish in a net, but after Youli, the line is like a bird ascending to the sky and a fish entering the sea, no longer bound by fetters.
While you are at the forefront of the storm, do you still remember your original aspirations?
Ji Chang couldn't help but take a deep look at Shen Xin.
What is the difference between a real man doing nothing and doing nothing, and a rotten tree and rotten grass?
If we can clear away thousands of miles, we can eliminate all the wastelands.
Only after he unified China did he become the hero of the world.
It's just that Ji Chang has always been steady. Although he was excited, he kept his expression and smiled slightly.
"Doctor Shen is a wise man. I am lucky enough to meet him now. He can only listen to his teachings and he will be blessed for the rest of his life."
When Ji Chang said this in an understatement, Shen Xin watched him all the time, only to find that the other person had a happy face.
Shen Xin was still proud just now and felt that the moment of his death had arrived, but now his heart "thumped".
For a moment, terrible thoughts rose in my heart.
Didn't he go too far just now and was considered by Ji Chang to be a talented person?
With Xiqi's thirst for talents, he found that he was talented and a hero in the world, and then...
How could a person with a reputation for benevolence and justice and a heart for the world be let go by Ji Chang.
So what would he think? I'm afraid the more talented people there are in Xiqi, the better.
Shen Xin understood that what he had done just now was so good that he was just looking for a job.
Thinking of this, Shen Xin wanted to look up to the sky and scream, his feet lowered and his chest raised.
This could mean that he was favored by Ji Chang and wanted to save his fortune and become an official in Xiqi.
So Ji Chang won't kill me at all?
Can I still struggle with that?
Faced with Ji Chang's thirst for talents, many thoughts passed through Shen Xinxin.
Finally, he gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and said seriously:
"Chen Xin has little talent and little knowledge. His literature cannot bring peace to the country, and his military strength cannot control the country. He is a minister of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. Soldiers should have backbone. They would rather die standing than live on their knees..."
Before Shen Xin finished speaking, Ji Chang nodded and laughed and praised:
"Wind and frost distinguish the nature of grass and trees, and crisis and chaos reveal the true character of heroes. Dr. Shen is truly a loyal man."
In a climate with wind, cold, snow and frost, it can identify whether plants and trees are cold-resistant; in situations of crisis and chaos, it can show the integrity of a loyal and kind person. Extraordinary times and critical moments can test people the most.
Shen Xin's integrity, perseverance and fearlessness in the face of danger made everyone admire and admire him.
Jiang Ziya couldn't help but persuade: "
Today, there is chaos, stability and chaos. In this day and age, sages from far away and near sycophants are living in debauchery, drinking and sex, cruelty to the people, the princes are in chaos, and the people are in dire straits. "
"My lord is thinking day and night, resting on his mat. He has long admired the great virtue of the doctor and wishes to bathe, burn incense and prepare a banquet in three days' time.
If the official does not give up and serves the Ming Lord, my king will be very lucky and the people will be very lucky. "
Jiang Ziya turned to look at Ji Chang again and said: "My Lord Qi:
When seeking talents and hiring outstanding ones, the etiquette should be pious. The intention of coming today is not sincere, so he should stay away.
In ancient times, Shennong worshiped Chang Sang, Xuanyuan worshiped Lao Peng, Huang Di worshiped Feng, and Tang worshiped Yi Yin. It was necessary to bathe and fast, and choose an auspicious day to welcome the virtuous. My lord, please drive back for the time being and wait for three days. "
Ji Chang was silent for a long time, still reluctant to leave.
Although Jiang Ziya is also good at military planning and political affairs, the Doctor Shen in front of him is probably no worse than him, and he even has a unique understanding of the world's trends.
Moreover, with the help of the Shen family, if Ziya and Doctor Shen were obtained at the same time, Xiqi might be able to skip the task of accumulating troops and food to wait for the weather, and even launch an army to attack the merchants several years in advance.
But now it's getting late.
If you live a step-by-step life, you will only be in a corner of the next death.
The world is in chaos and people are struggling to survive, or the critical moment of life and death is an opportunity, a chance to change their destiny.
More often than not, this situation requires you to make a desperate choice.
Once this choice is given, there will be two results, either skyrocketing or a complete failure.
Ji Chang was determined to win Shen Xin, but Jiang Ziya persuaded him again, so he just said goodbye and left.
It’s okay for you to seek virtuous people, and it’s okay for you to take a bath and burn incense.
But, have you specifically asked me for my opinion as the protagonist?
I don’t agree!
Shen Xin felt very speechless about the departure of Ji Chang and Jiang Ziya.
It’s hard to finish…
In the Xiqi camp, Ji Chang raised his tent, and all the civil and military officials arrived in front of the palace, and then passed the order to all the ministers:
"Every general returns to his tent and fasts for three days. After three days, there will be a banquet in the camp to welcome the great sage."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a bombshell falling into deep water.
A large splash of water was made.
Xiqi's civil and military generals had different expressions and complex expressions.
There was endless discussion.
Regarding Shen Xin's name, some people look forward to it, some people disdain it, and some people hate it.
Everyone in Xiqi has their own interests, and they are not monolithic.
Suddenly, General Nangong Shi stood up and said:
"Chen Xin's rumors may be false. Your Majesty doesn't know the truth, so he greets you with great gifts. If he exaggerates the truth, it will waste your sincerity and be fooled by a fool."
"Now we are on an expedition with a large army, confronting Chongcheng. The battlefield is dangerous and unpredictable. I am afraid that the enemy is using a delaying strategy to disrupt the morale of our army."
"In my humble opinion, my lord does not need to bother so much. I will go and invite you tomorrow. If it is worthy of the name, it is not too late for the lord to add another grand gift. If the name is false, you can scold it and not use it."
Why should my lord go to such great lengths to wait for only one person in the army, just to stay in a fast and then come see him? "
Jiang Ziya was nearby. He first glanced at Ji Chang, then glanced at the ministers, and then nodded silently.
He shouted sharply at Nangong Shi:
"General! That's not what you said! Today, the world is desolate and the world is in chaos. Wise men and gentlemen can only be met but not sought."
"Today, Doctor Shen is like an elephant from heaven, specially bestowing a great virtuous man to help our king dominate the world. This is Xiqi's blessing."
"At this time, we should learn from the ancients to seek virtuous people and break their restraints. How can we be like those who seek virtuous people these days and sell themselves to others?"
Then he swept his long sleeves and looked around:
"The general must not say such words to make the ministers slack off!"
"The army remains as before and continues to besiege Chongcheng."
When the ministers saw that Jiang Ziya was slightly angry, they looked flustered and quickly fell silent.
However, Nangong Shi was even more unhappy. How could a large army fight be a piece of cake? He wanted to do it again.
But he suddenly looked at Jiang Ziya. Their eyes met, and they seemed to have deep meaning. After a moment, his brows furrowed, and for some reason they silently stepped aside.
Ji Chang glanced at the ministers and saw that no one was blocking him. He was even more delighted when he heard the words and continued:
"The Prime Minister's words are exactly what he meant."
"The army should not slack off when it comes to Chongcheng. We should order our soldiers to be on guard against unexpected events. Although we have won for a while, Chongcheng is strong and should not be underestimated."
"But in three days, all the generals will be present to show that I, Xiqi, respect the talented people."
"Here!"
All the generals responded and turned back to the camp.
Outside the handsome tent, as soon as Nangong Shi walked to the door, he was greeted by Wu Ji, who had been waiting for him.
Nangong Shi nodded. It turns out that the prime minister really had another plan.
He quickly followed him to the tent and bowed:
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I have something important to tell the general..."
Nangong Shi, who had a fiery temperament, was greeted with questions.
Jiang Ziya just smiled softly and comforted:
"General, don't be anxious. You have a successful strategy in your mind, and you will come up with good plans quickly."
"The Prime Minister's wisdom and strategy are naturally inferior to ours. I don't know what a good plan is to seize that Chong City?"
"What my lord did today was because he was deceived by evil thieves. Why didn't the prime minister follow my dissuasion and responded by scolding the general?"
Nangong Shi snorted repeatedly, obviously still a little unwilling to accept what happened in Jiang Ziya's tent.
"Don't worry, General, I have a good plan to take Chongcheng easily." Jiang Ziya still smiled and slowly explained:
"What you do today to respect your lord is of great significance and concerns Chongcheng."
Nangong Shi was stunned for a moment: "Is it very meaningful?"
"Let someone explain to the general." Jiang Ziya glanced in the direction of Chongcheng and sat down, holding a feather fan in his hand and shaking it gently.
He said: "We have been besieging Chongcheng for more than a month now, and the agreement with Chongheihu has been lost."
"Chong Heihu once said that he was willing to respond in Chongcheng and capture his eldest brother as an offering to Xiqi. Now..."
Speaking of this, Nangong Shi seemed to have caught something.
"Now that he has failed, he may have been captured." Jiang Ziya waved his feather fan heavily and looked at Chongcheng again.
"There must have been a huge change in Chongcheng, otherwise with Chongheihu's strength, he would have been able to control Chongcheng by surprise."
"And the only person who can cause unexpected changes is..."
Nangong Shi said hurriedly: "Chen Xin!"
Jiang Ziya nodded, his voice gradually getting serious, "Only this person is the variable in Chongcheng, and only he can come up with this plan."
"I suspect that this person is actually pretending to surrender!"
Nangong Shi was shocked and hesitant in his tone:
"How is it possible? How could someone do this regardless of their own danger?"
Jiang Ziya shook his head: "Maybe this is the strength of this person. Now the master has entered the game and he doesn't know it yet."
"In three days, I believe there will be big moves in Chongcheng."
Nangong Shi suddenly realized: "So that's the case. You already knew the other party's plan. Why didn't the prime minister dissuade the lord?"
After hearing these unusual news, Nangong Shi's mind was racing. Since the other party dared to pretend to surrender to Zhou Ying, he must have a back-up plan.
Jiang Ziya sighed:
"First, this person is a great talent. It would be a good thing if he can really return to Xiqi."
"Secondly, this is a good opportunity to defeat Chongcheng. There is no need to alert the enemy. If we use the trick, we can defeat him."
Nangong Shi said hurriedly: "What's the plan, Prime Minister?"
Jiang Ziya took out the tea cup, laid out Xiqi's position in Chongcheng, and pointed it out with his hand.
"I think Shen Xin's plan is nothing more than to find out the strength of our army and prepare to attack our army camp at night, or to delay the time to wait for reinforcements."
"No matter which one you choose, you will find out at the talent-seeking banquet three days later."
Jiang Ziya's eyes showed confidence and he pointed at the feather fan in his hand.
"General Nangong, you will lead an army and ambush on the only road outside Chongcheng. If you encounter enemy troops, let them go first and then rob and kill them on their way back to the division.
He also ordered Xin Jia to lead an army and sneak under Chongcheng. Waiting for General Nangong to win, he waved the flag and made a grand display, pretending to be an army, and took the opportunity to capture Chongcheng.
He also ordered Xin Mian to divide his army into three teams and lie down on the road that Chong must pass in the north of Chao Ge. There will definitely be support from the princes here.
Hide in the forest first, wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and then go out to attack them.
"The remaining four wise men and eight horses are secretly hiding at the gate of the camp, with many bows and arrows deployed to resist the horses. They wait for the enemy to enter the camp, surround and destroy them."
In this way, three days later, Chongcheng was already in our jar. "
After Jiang Ziya finished speaking, he slowly shook his feather fan and calmed down.
"The Prime Minister's orders will definitely live up to his trust, but..." Nangong Shi thought for a while and said:
"But what should we do with that evil thief Shen Xin?"
Jiang Ziya shook his head, with a hint of unbearability in his eyes, but the next second there was still a chill in his eyes.
"If Shen Xin surrenders to Xiqi, then that's all, but if he doesn't..."
Then there was a shout:
"Buji listens to orders!"
Wuji quickly stepped forward and bowed.
"The disciple is here!"
After Jiang Ziya was silent for a moment, he finally seemed to make up his mind, slammed the feather fan on the case, and shouted:
"I have ordered you to perform sword dancing at the banquet to entertain me. If Shen Xin does not obey the Lord's orders and returns to Xiqi, I will take the opportunity to kill him."
"Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters! This son must not be allowed to return to the Yin and Shang Dynasties!"
"But the Shen family..."
Jiang Ziya shook his head: "Don't worry about this, I will take care of it."
Nangong Shi looked at each other and Wu Ji nodded.
The prime minister's strategy was really powerful. In this way, he not only used his plan to draw out the soldiers from Chongcheng, but also greatly destroyed Chongcheng.
Even if Chaoge's reinforcements arrived, Shen Xinzhi's plan would be in vain and his lies would be exposed at the banquet.
Seeing his shocked and disbelieving expression, the two couldn't help but get excited.
Unexpectedly, he pretended to surrender alone and abandoned Chongcheng. He was afraid that he would die of shame and anger on the spot.
And there is also a killer, Wuji Wujian, intended for Shen Xin.
The two of them clenched their fists to accept the order and bowed to leave. Now that the plan was decided, Nangong Shi's heart finally fell.
? ? ?
Doctor Shen, who was unaware of all this from a distance, suddenly had an itchy nostril.
"Ah sneeze!"
…
