In the Xiqi court, Ji Fa was at the top.
On the left, Tai Dian and other civil servants and veteran officials from a wealthy family; on the right, San Yisheng, Lao Huang, Nangong Shi and other Xiqizhu stones: all the officials are well-dressed, with swords and swords, and they stand in separate classes.
After a while, Jiang Ziya led the disciples inside slowly. He glanced around and everyone was silent. It was not until Ji Fa carefully stepped forward to greet him that he spoke:
"Recently, our army suffered a setback, causing all the officials to panic and the city to be in chaos. I wonder what your lord feels?"
With a complicated expression, Ji Fa took out the letter from the officials and read it with Jiang Ziya. After Jiang Ziya looked at it, he patted it casually and smiled coldly:
"The Yin and Shang Dynasties can only win a temporary victory, so why should they be afraid!"
Ji Fa asked: "I wonder what my father-in-law thinks?"
Jiang Ziya remained calm and said in a different tone: "Has my lord discussed this with the civil and military officials?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone felt that the situation was not good. A lot of things had happened in the past few days, and because of Yang Jian's defeat and death, many officials wanted to surrender to the Yin Shang Dynasty.
After all, no matter how much everyone protects Xiqi, they have to think about their own interests. No one wants to destroy the city and destroy Xiqi together.
No matter who you are loyal to, aristocratic families like them can be officials, so what's the harm if Xiqi changes his master?
In fact, if it weren't for Jiang Ziya shaking the Prime Minister's Mansion and the pressure of Nezha and others' strength, I'm afraid some people would have left the city and surrendered long ago.
Ji Fa sighed and said: "Hundreds of officials have been discussing this matter for days: some are urging me to surrender, and some are urging me to fight alone. I am undecided, so I ask my prime minister to decide."
"Who advised the lord to surrender?" Jiang Ziya asked seriously.
Ji Fa was silent for a moment and said: "Tai Dian and other veterans all intend to surrender, so I can't make a decision at once."
When Tai Dian and other ministers saw Jiang Ziya's gaze, they dodge slightly. Although Jiang Ziya came to Xiqi just a short time ago, his status and strength are sufficient.
Not only were Ji Chang's trusted ministers, but there were also a group of immortals escorting him behind him.
In addition, he was very talented in governing the country. In a short period of time, he had sole control of the government. He was truly the leader of one person and more than ten thousand people.
So his gaze was quite oppressive.
Jiang Ziya immediately turned around and asked Tai Dian, but he did not show too much anger. Instead, he held his hands calmly and said, "I would like to hear your surrender, sir."
Tai Dian looked solemn when he heard this, feeling that the situation was not good. You must know that the more calm Jiang Ziya looked, the more uneasy he felt.
However, I didn't have time to react at this moment, so I had to step forward quickly and pretend to be embarrassed and explain:
"Doctor Shen followed the imperial edict and conquered all directions in the name of the Shang Dynasty. He has recently won a series of battles and achieved great power."
"I, Xiqi, can reject Shen Xin, only Prime Minister Er. But now Shen Xin has more than a thousand generals? The four generals of the Demon family are so brave and powerful, how can they be worthy of him?"
"It's better to surrender and plan for later."
After hearing this, Jiang Ziya nodded secretly and was secretly happy. Sure enough, this Tai Dian was Shen Xin's spy hidden in the city.
Now that we see that our army is weak, we can't wait to jump out.
These words are really damaging to the morale of the army.
Jiang Ziya wanted to drag him out and kill him, but he felt it was inappropriate. Although this aristocratic family held back from time to time, it still had great influence in Xiqi City.
And Tai Dian is the leader of this group of people. If he is touched easily, things may be difficult to control.
And after thinking about it, since he had discovered Shen Xin's internal conspiracy, he was not in a hurry to take his life.
Why not put the waste to use and maybe set up a dead end with Shen Xin next.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ziya threw his hand and shouted loudly:
"This is a pedantic theory! Since Xiqi took charge of the two hundred princes in the west, after several generations, he Anren abandoned the foundation of his ancestors and surrendered?"
After saying that, he barely pointed at his nose to greet his parents.
The superior Ji Fa remained calm, but then asked: "I wonder if the Prime Minister has any strategy to keep Xiqi safe?"
Jiang Ziya handed over his hand and reported: "My lord, although Shen Xin claims to be the Yin Shang orthodoxy, he is actually the only way to defeat the Yin Shang. The Yin Shang has already been under the rule of King Zhou, and evildoers are everywhere, causing chaos in all directions."
"My lord, with his great military prowess and his father's legacy, has occupied Xiqi. He has a well-equipped army and sufficient supplies. He is now roaming the world, eradicating the cruelties and violence of the country. How can he surrender the thieves?"
"Moreover, when Shen Xin came here today, he often violated the taboos of military strategists: At this time, the southeast of Yin and Shang Dynasties was not settled, Jiang Wenhuan and E Shun were the troubles in the future, and Shen Xin had been in the Western Expedition for a long time, so this was a taboo."
"Xiqi City has high walls and thick walls, and it takes a long time. It is difficult to compete with Xiqi. This is the second taboo."
"It's a scorching hot day now, and the soldiers have no intention of conquering. This is the third taboo."
"Driving the soldiers of the Yin Dynasty merchants, they traveled as far as Xiqi and encountered high mountains and ridges. They were not acclimated to the soil and water, and were prone to diseases. These are the four taboos."
"Shen Xin's soldiers have violated these taboos. No matter how many there are, they will be defeated. My lord will surely win a great victory. I have invited tens of thousands of elite soldiers to guard the city and wait for the right time. My lord will defeat them!"
After Ji Fa heard this, he stood up hale and hearty: "Yin Zhou has been suffering for a long time, and the people he fears are Dongbohou Jiang Wenhuan, Nanbohou Eshun and Gu'er."
"Today the Southeast is still rebelling against business, so what do I have to fear? Gu and the Yin Shang are sworn to be incompatible! Your words of war are in line with Gu's wishes. This is what God has given me."
Upon seeing this, Jiang Ziya immediately bowed down and said, "I will fight a bloody battle for my lord, and I will not give up even if I die. I'm afraid my lord is suspicious."
When Ji Fa heard what Jiang Ziya said, his eyebrows raised, he suddenly pulled out his sword, slashed at the corner of the eucalyptus in front of him, the pieces of wood flew down, and he shouted loudly:
"Officials will have to say that they will be defeated again, which is the same as this!"
After saying this, he hurriedly descended from the higher level and gave the sword in his hand to Jiang Ziya.
"That is to say, the prime minister is appointed to command the internal and external military affairs, control the armies, and is supplemented by scattered Yisheng, and General Manager Huang distributes money and food. If there are civil and military officers who do not obey orders, there is no need to report them, and they will be killed with this sword."
This sword has the feeling of a Shangfang sword, which is Ji Fa's determination to fully support, and it is also for Jiang Ziya to be honest and unconstrained.
Knowing this, Jiang Ziya solemnly took the sword in his hand, turned around and shouted to the ministers: "I follow the order of the Lord and lead the people to defeat the sinking. All generals and officials will come to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the city to listen to the order. If there is any delay, they will follow the order. Punishment, military law."
After saying this, he glanced at the ministers without hesitation, but no one dared to surrender.
Looking at Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya with cold expressions above them, Old Huang suddenly realized that he had underestimated Xiqi. He did not expect that these two men had great talents and strategies.
How could he suppress hundreds of officials in such a short period of time.
Tai Dian was a veteran of the court and had served the Ji family for three generations, but now he had no power to resist Jiang Ziya. He was instantly shocked and turned pale, speechless.
No matter how unwilling I was, I didn't dare to mention surrender at all.
Therefore, today's DPRK is not simple. I am afraid that Jiang Ziya and his wife have already planned something.
He must be trying to win over Xiqi's army by taking advantage of Tai Dian's incident.
As a result, it will be infinitely more difficult for the young master to break through Xiqi.
No, we must find a way to keep Xiqi in chaos for a while. Old Huang carefully patrolled in front of the ministers with twinkling eyes.
Until Tai Dian, who was looking ahead and bowing his head in silence, with a look of shame or anger on his face, paused.
Although Tai Dian cannot compete with Jiang Ziya in terms of strength, the attitude of the Xiqi family is questionable, because it is inherently impossible for both parties to work together.
One is the local faction in Xiqi, which is deeply rooted in power because its interests are self-contained.
The second is the foreign faction led by Jiang Ziya. They are powerful and powerful, but they have no local roots.
If the relationship between the two parties can be completely divided, even if it cannot lead to Xiqi's failure, it can give Jiang Ziya enough constraints.
If you make good use of it in the future, wouldn't it be able to help the young master?
And he can escape at this moment, hide in the dark, sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.
At this time, Lao Huang suddenly saw Lu Xiaobing blinking at him again and again.
Um?
The heroes see the same thing.
When the two of them thought about it together, Lao Huang immediately went to the palace and said:
"Prince Wu, Prime Minister, the Shang army has been besieging Xiqi for a long time. Sanji Granary is short of food. It can only be used for ten days."
"However, I also sent a grain transport officer to supervise the grain a long time ago, but I don't know why I haven't returned yet."
"Let the Prime Minister decide on this matter."
"this……"
When Jiang Ziya heard this, he furrowed his brows and thought to himself, it's a small matter that the enemy soldiers are trapped in the city, but a big problem is the lack of food in the city.
If the people panic, what will happen if a civil uprising is caused?
No matter how the war is fought in the future, the people's support is the foundation of Xiqi. Jiang Ziya obviously has a headache at this moment!
It's just that he was so strong just now, but now it's not appropriate to show his inner panic. He just nodded slightly and said to Old Huang:
"I wonder if Mr. Huang has any clever ideas?"
After hearing this, Lao Huang was overjoyed. He pretended to be deep in thought and said, "The prime minister can issue a notice to the residents. Those who are rich must have rice. They may borrow thirty or forty thousand, or fifty or sixty thousand, and pay it back with interest on the day when the troops withdraw." This is a temporary rescue measure."
This strategy may save the immediate situation, but it will also shake Xiqi's foundation.
Supplying food and fodder for hundreds of thousands of troops is not such a simple solution.
If Jiang Ziya really borrows food from the people and the aristocratic families, Lao Huang can conclude that people in Xiqi City are panicked and the people of the aristocratic families are deviant, and an unprecedented turmoil will definitely break out.
However, Lao Huang's idea did not succeed. Jiang Ziya pondered for a while and then shook his head and said: "Manager Huang, no. If I go out and make a warning, the people will panic and the army will be in chaos, there will be internal disaster. It is expected that there will be food for ten days, and then Work area."
"There is no perfect path for mankind. I believe Xiqi will be able to turn danger into good fortune. Don't worry."
Old Huang Gong bowed his hands and retreated, with some regret in his eyes. However, although the plan failed, it did not affect his relationship with Xiqi and the aristocratic family at all.
Because the grain transport officer who has not arrived yet is Tai Dian's nephew, I'm afraid there will be a good show to watch next.
Just as a smile appeared on Lao Huang's lips, a report from the soldiers suddenly came from outside the palace.
"King Wu, Prime Minister, General Yang Jian Yang has an important meeting outside the palace."
Yang Jian?
Eh? Isn't he dead? Is it possible that he is still alive?
How is this going?
All the generals in the hall were stunned and suddenly began to talk. After all, everyone saw Yang Jian being swallowed by the fox and marten in one gulp, not even a bone was left.
What is going on now?
Before everyone in the hall could finish their thoughts, they suddenly saw a heroic young man wearing a hydration suit and a fan crown on his head, who seemed to be moral but not moral, strode in.
Then Jiang Ziya's triumphant voice came instantly: "Yang Jian was ordered by me to sneak into the Yin Shang Dynasty. The purpose is to wait for an opportunity to steal the magic weapon of the four generals of the Demon family, so as to help our army."
Stealing treasure?
Lao Huang and Lu Xiaobing were shocked after hearing this. Jiang Ziya was really cunning and cunning. They didn't expect that he had prepared such a method.
And seeing the other party's appearance, it seemed like he was in trouble.
Sure enough, after Yang Jian paid homage to King Wu Jifa and Jiang Ziya, he took off a sparkling umbrella inlaid with gems.
"Hunyuan Umbrella!" Chong Heihu exclaimed in the crowd. He was obviously very familiar with this umbrella.
"That's right." Yang Jian nodded, then smiled at Jiang Ziya and said:
"Uncle Master, fortunately you have lived up to your fate."
Jiang Ziya took the Hunyuan Umbrella with both hands and touched it carefully. His eyes were filled with joy. Even Jin Zha Nezha and other young generals gathered around it without hesitation.
Treasure, this is definitely a treasure.
Of course, the most important thing is that all the magic weapons that were taken away from them were taken back.
Nezha hugged the Qiankun Circle in his hand and kissed it hard, giggling constantly.
"With the treasure, I can continue to protect my adoptive father."
Jiang Ziya on the side looked at Nezha's expression and was very pleased. I, Xiqi, am really lucky to have such a good general.
Of course, he didn't know what Nezha was thinking and his great achievements in instigating the rebellion of two nephews.
Otherwise, it is easy to directly challenge the Seven Deaths and Three Disasters and be angered to death.
But after presenting the Hunyuan Umbrella, Yang Jian brought even greater good news to Jiang Ziya.
"Uncle Master, not only did I steal the Hunyuan Umbrella, but I also used a little trick to make the four generals of the Demon Family alienate Shen Xin."
"The four generals of the Demon family left the camp angrily, and the Yin Shang Dynasty is weak. This is the best time to capture Doctor Shen."
Yang Jian recounted what he had done. After hearing this, Jiang Ziya's eyes flashed, and the smile on his face seemed to wrinkle.
How could Yang Jian bully an honest person?
However, bullying is good.
This was a huge unexpected gain. He was still worried about the lack of food in the Yin Shang Dynasty just now, but if he could defeat Shen Xin directly, then this major matter would be completely solved.
What's more, this counter-intentional plan was not designed by him, but Yang Jian's own improvisation. Jiang Ziya only felt that he had picked up a piece of beautiful jade.
He is truly a man of wisdom, courage and strategizing.
Just when Jiang Ziya was about to take the opportunity to order his generals to send troops, Huangmenguan suddenly came to the palace and reported, "To Prime Minister Wu, there is a boy outside the palace asking to see him."
Well, he was really happy. Jiang Ziya raised his eyebrows and didn't need to think about it at all.
With the foresight of Nezha, Yang Jian and others, they would have known long ago that this Taoist boy must be the disciple sent by his senior brothers to help him.
I just don’t know which senior brother it is?
Jiang Ziya quickly waved his hand and said, "Hurry and invite the Taoist boys outside the hall."
Huang Tianhua walked up to the front of the hall and looked around, pride evident on his face.
But when he saw Nezha's face, for some reason, he felt that this person was unhappy, and subconsciously snorted slightly.
Of course, Nezha also felt threatened and stared back without hesitation.
There was a hint of gunpowder in the air in the eyes of the two people, but fortunately Huang Tianhua did not forget the purpose of coming to Xiqi.
When he found Jiang Ziya, he paid homage to His Highness and said, "Uncle Master, my disciple Huang Tianhua went down the mountain under the orders of his master. He obeys his orders."
Jiang Ziya didn't care about the trivial matters between Nezha and Huang Tianhua. After all, it is normal for young people to be arrogant, and it may not be a bad thing for both parties to encourage each other.
Then he put his hand on his beard and asked with a smile: "Tong'er, who is your master?"
Huang Tianhua said respectfully: "Master uncle, my nephew is a disciple of the Qingxu Moral True Monarch of Ziyang Cave in Qingfeng Mountain."
"I came down the mountain specifically to help you defeat the four generals of the Demon Family."
Jiang Ziya hesitated when he heard this. He originally wanted Yang Jian or Nezha to take action to ensure safety, but Huang Tianhua didn't know what he was capable of, so he was ready to persuade him.
"The four generals of the Demon Family are practicing left-handed techniques, so we must be careful."
But Huang Tianhua didn't care:
"Thank you, Master, for pointing it out. Why should you be afraid? In the future, if you have not accomplished anything yet, you will definitely win this battle!"
"Master, please give me your permission."
"Okay?" Jiang Ziya hesitated for a moment and then said yes.
For some reason, Huang Tianhua suddenly smiled provocatively at Nezha.
Then he got on the jade unicorn, holding two silver hammers, and came to the Yin Shang Yuan Gate.
When Nezha saw this, he was not polite and raised the Qiankun Circle and followed him on the Hot Wheel.
Huang Tianxiang glanced at it and shouted directly.
"I am the sect of True Monarch Qingxu Daode, Huang Tianhua, the son of Wucheng King Huang Feihu! The four generals of the Demon Family come out quickly and die!"
After shouting for a long time, just when the two of them were feeling dissatisfied, the camp door suddenly opened wide on the opposite side, there was a loud sound of horse hooves, smoke and dust were everywhere, and a bald boy came to the front of the formation.
Wearing a silver helmet and white armor, with a silver spear in his hand and a reserved look in his eyes, he swung the spear and cursed without hesitation:
"Bah! I am Huang Tianxiang, the son of King Wucheng. You fake evil thief, take a shot from me!"
…
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
It is almost impossible to clean away the smell of blood that comes from everyone in the Zhenmo Division.
