Inside the Xiqi camp, Jiang Ziya has been unconscious since returning from Qishan.
The blood spit out from his mouth stained his clothes red.
At this moment, the vigor in his heart has been lost, but he no longer has the high spirits, just like an old man in his dying years.
He sealed his consciousness in his soul, not wanting to face what was in front of him.
Because Jiang Ziya really couldn't accept it. Facing Shen Xin's helpless pressure, he felt that he might never be able to get rid of the mountain he was carrying.
From the beginning of his journey down the mountain, he showed his strategy, learned how to stabilize the country, and had the ideal to pacify the world, to when he dedicated his life to Xiqi and died, being entrusted with the responsibility of being a god, he wanted to complete the great cause of becoming a god.
Then in the end, I was frustrated and had no choice but to realize my ambition.
Jiang Ziya always felt that his whole life was living in someone's shadow and he had never won.
What's even more unfortunate is that he has to face it no matter what. Even if he dies, Master has ten thousand ways to save him...
After Jiang Ziya's soul wandered for an unknown amount of time, he looked at the direction where Shen Xin was standing and seemed to understand something.
Shen Xin and himself seemed to be completely opposite enemies who had to be divided into life and death, but this enemy had an unusual charm.
Regardless of life and death, he served the country and the people, and fought bravely to take the lead in every battle. He did not care about his life at all, and he never regarded himself as a man worth thousands of dollars.
And the most important point is that Shen Xin treats the people and soldiers with courtesy and care, and uses his own efforts to pray for the people of the world. There has probably never been a hero like this in the three realms for thousands of years. .
It should be worthy of being welcomed by people all over the city.
Although he is often in danger, he has soldiers who can rely on him for life and death. There are enemies in front of him and thousands of people behind him.
Therefore, he has no weaknesses and should not fail.
Looking back at the beginning of Xiqi's founding, they also implemented benevolent policies. They also did not pick up things on the road and did not close their homes at night. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the country was peaceful and the people were safe.
Among the eight hundred princes from all directions, Xiqi can be called the number one, and everyone yearns for it.
Jiang Ziya still remembers the scene when he led the army to invade Beichong. Countless people lined the streets to welcome him and made pots of food to reward Master Wang. How high-spirited he was at that time.
But since the construction of the God's Tower, everything seems to have changed. Although Xiqi is getting stronger and stronger, and has the help of immortals who explain the teachings, Jiang Ziya can see that the relationship with the people is getting farther and farther.
There are fewer and fewer people supporting Xiqi.
Jiang Ziya was touched for some reason. The catastrophe of becoming a god had begun, but it was the mortals in the world who suffered first.
He could somewhat understand Shen Xin's insistence, because even he himself doubted whether this was an immortal killing disaster?
Or is it the people who are in trouble?
Jiang Ziya only felt an invisible and intangible shackle above his head. For someone like Shen Xin, he stood up and struck out with all his strength in the murderous calamity.
"Kill the thief! Kill the thief!" Jiang Ziya suddenly stood up, raised his head and shouted, he couldn't help holding the sword in his hand and looking ahead.
For a moment, I couldn't tell whether this thief was me or Shen Xin!
He smiled, then slowly shed tears.
"I am a disciple of the Chan Cult, and also the Prime Minister of Xiqi. I hold the list of gods in my hand, and I am responsible for returning the gods to their places. My task has not been completed yet..."
He swung this sword and cut himself off completely. Now Jiang Ziya is the spokesperson of Heavenly Gods. Godship may start with me and end with me...
Shen Xin saw his reinforcements and to be honest, he felt very uncomfortable now.
One is Wen Zhong, the Yin Shang Grand Master who is powerful in the court. He holds a golden whip that beats the king.
One is the admiral of the 460,000 Chaoge Imperial Army, a marshal of the world's military who has always been favored by the country and has been loyal to generations, and Huang Feihu, the king of military success in the country.
Wen Zhong and Huang Feihu were both known as the two most powerful men of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. They almost single-handedly defended the country of the Yin Shang Dynasty. Their culture was enough to stabilize the country, and their military strength was enough to rule the country. The two fought in battles in the north and south, and both were rare handsome men.
Compared to leading troops in battle, Wen Zhong is more feared than Huang Feihu.
Because he is a disciple of Jiejiao Jinling Holy Mother, in terms of his origin, he can be regarded as the direct descendant of Jiejiao. Even though Wen Zhong is very low in strength, he can call each other Taoist friends with immortals and gods. Even Zhao Gongming, the great Luo Jinxian of Jinjiao, Anyone can please come down the mountain.
The energy contained within is anything but ordinary.
Wen Zhong's domineering and majestic aura reminded Dr. Shen all the time that this person should be very careful as he could easily fall over.
I don’t know how King Zhou did it. He gave himself a big gift as soon as he came up. It was too special.
Shen Xin was in a bad mood, so he tried his best to hide from everyone so as not to attract too much attention.
However, who made him too dazzling? After Wen Zhong and Huang Feihu set up an army, they dropped everything and hurriedly came to see him without caring about anything else.
"Doctor, you really made me worried. It's okay now that everything is fine. It's really a great blessing for Yin Shang. I must never put myself in danger again in the future!" Wen Zhong patted Shen Xin's shoulder hard. , the concern in his eyes was undisguised.
Shen Xin: "..." He suddenly felt a little panicked.
"Grand Master, I am actually at fault. Since I asked for orders to attack Zhou, not only have there been no progress, but I have been defeated again and again. Now I am beaten outside Sishui Pass by Xiqi. It seems that I am no longer suitable for the role of commander of the army. "
Shen Xin shouted loudly: "Now I am willing to demote myself to the rank of sergeant in the army in order to respond to the world's long words!"
At the end of the sentence, Shen Xinzhong didn't panic at all, but was full of confidence. Why didn't I think of this? I demoted myself to level 10 or level 8 first.
As the commander-in-chief of a large army, how can it be more dangerous than being a soldier?
Unfortunately, the two people in front of him were unwilling to cooperate with him.
Wen Zhong finally found a person who could take over from him, how could he put Shen Xin in danger.
As for Huang Feihu, he wanted to repay Doctor Shen's life-saving kindness, so he decisively rejected Shen Xin's despicable method of seeking death.
"Doctor, don't be like this. Facing Xiqi's army and the immortal Chanjiao in the sky, no matter who it is, you may not be able to do as well as you."
Wen Zhong even laughed loudly and gave Shen Xin a critical blow: "The talent of a doctor is far superior to that of ours. It is true that he can bring peace to the world with his writing and his military skills can settle the world. This position of commander-in-chief belongs to no other than a doctor."
"And I only need to help the doctor and invite Taoist friends from three mountains and five mountains to defeat Xiqi!"
Shen Xinxin said, good guy, you still want to invite someone? Those Shi Tianjun and Zhao Gongming alone made me feel worse than dead.
If I don't refuse, I'm afraid I will fall into another big pit.
"Grand Master, this does not meet the requirements. Shen Xin is ashamed to accept it. You are the person with the highest status among the officials. How can I overshadow the guest, let alone Huang..."
"I'll just settle this matter. General Huang won't have any complaints!" Wen Zhong directly waved his hand to interrupt Shen Xin's words.
Huang Feihu on the side also said: "Doctor, don't worry about anything, just follow the teacher's arrangements."
He didn't complain at all, because Dr. Shen was really many times stronger than himself, full of righteousness and mighty.
With the help of teachers, Jiejiao monks, Yin Shang generals, and himself, not to mention a little Xiqi, even eight hundred princes can stop him.
Huang Feihu felt that the problem was not big. Doctor Shen would just lie down and there would be no need for him to take action.
No panic at all.
Wen Zhong waved his hand and decided not to talk nonsense to Shen Xin. Instead, he suddenly walked out with a smile on his face. He pulled Deng Jiugong into the tent while the two old men chatted quietly beside him.
As for the content? It still had something to do with Dr. Shen, because the two of them laughed very happily...
Shen Xin looked at Wen Zhong, then at Huang Feihu, and suddenly looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh.
So, now I not only have to fight against Xiqi, but also against my own people?
? ? ?
In the Xiqi tent, Ji Fa was naturally extremely happy when Jiang Ziya suddenly woke up.
He was about to tell his prime minister that all the princes had arrived and were waiting for Xiqi to send troops to contact him.
But Jiang Ziya suddenly waved his hand at this moment and said: "The alliance matter is not urgent for the time being, but there is one thing that needs to be done first."
After speaking, Jiang Ziya called to his soldiers and summoned the generals to go to the central army to discuss matters.
Ji Fa was a little confused by Jiang Ziya. Now that the princes from all walks of life have arrived in Qishan, how can they gather together in the future if they don't go to make an alliance.
Ji Fa was puzzled, but he had no choice but to set up a court hall in the camp and meet the Xiqi generals.
When everyone arrived, Jiang Ziya sat on the eucalyptus, writing furiously. After a while, with a solemn expression, he quickly stepped forward with a book in his hand, knelt down in front of Ji Fa and shouted:
Change source app]
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Xiqi Jiang Shang, has come forward to make it clear that my lord's army will go northward and enter the Five Passes to attack the unruly Yin Shang!"
Ji Fa looked stunned, as if he was deep in thought, and quickly ordered someone to pick him up.
The imperial official wrote the inscription on the imperial eucalyptus. Ji Fa read it from the beginning and saw that it read eloquently:
"I heard that God is the parent of all things in heaven and earth, and the spirit of man and all things. God protects the people, is the king, and is the teacher. God is the only one who restrains himself, favors all directions, and is the parent of the people."
"Now the king of Shang is revered by God, brings disasters to the people, poisons the country, destroys good people, abuses admonitions and ministers, insults the five permanent members, is idle and disrespectful, indulges in drunkenness and sex, sinners follow the clan, and officials follow the world."
"Only the palaces, pavilions, ponds, and extravagant clothes are used to harm all surnames; the ancestral temples are left behind for worship; the old people are abandoned, and they are compared to sinners."
"Only women's words are used, burning loyal ones, favoring traitors and sycophants, abandoning laws and punishments, and imprisoning noble men. Killing wives and children is the only purpose, using lasciviousness and drunkenness to please women."
"If the suburban community is not repaired, the ancestral temple will not enjoy it. Commercial crimes are rampant, and both heaven and man are angry."
"Today, the princes gathered outside Sishui Pass to raise up the troops to fight against the people and save the people from water and fire. They begged the king to embody the hope of living in heaven. He thought about the suffering of the common people in the world. They soared in great excitement. They chose a day to go out to join the alliance and respect the heaven. If you are punished, the country will be blessed and the people will be blessed!"
After Ji Fa finished reading, he sat down and pondered for a long time. He didn't know why the father-in-law in front of him suddenly seemed to have changed after he woke up.
What does this table mean now? Should I answer or not? Ji Fa calmed down and asked:
"My father-in-law said that although King Zhou was unethical and abandoned by the whole world, he should be conquered. But in the past, the late king had his last words: 'Never allow your subjects to attack you.'"
"What happened today will be used as an excuse by future generations. Kuang Gu has betrayed the words of his ancestors and is called unfilial."
After saying that, Ji Fa sighed slightly:
"In short, although King Zhou is unruly, he is still a king. If you attack him alone, you are called disloyal. Isn't it good that I and my father-in-law share the integrity of ministers in order to wait for King Zhou to change his past and do good?"
Although Xiqi had already broken through Qishan and besieged Sishui Pass, he had not actually broken face with the Yin Shang in name.
But once this message is sent out, it will be a real rebellion, and there will be no way out. Ji Fa is still hesitant at this moment.
In fact, no matter whether it is hesitation or not, you still have to decline, not to mention that the ancients still had three concessions and three concessions.
But Jiang Ziya seemed to have been prepared for it. He bowed and continued: "How dare I betray the late king. However, the princes of the world have announced to China and foreign countries that they have accused King Zhou of his crime. Now the princes are gathered in front of Sishui Pass, showing the power of God. , the teacher who inspires the people and fights crimes."
"Previously, Dongbohou Jiang Wenhuan, Nanbohou Eshun, and Guifang Commandery have written documents to inform the meeting. The old minister is afraid of disturbing the affairs of the country, so I have written to the king to make a decision, and I hope that King Wu will make it."
After hearing this, Ji Fa nodded secretly. He seemed to understand what Jiang Ziya was thinking. Now that the armies are meeting and all the soldiers and horses are not under each other, there will be disputes. Xiqi just took this opportunity to raise the anti-business banner and become a prince. Alliance leader, this is how he became famous:
"Although what Xiangfu said is true, please let me think twice..."
Seeing that the time was ripe, the senior doctor San Yisheng stood by and hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"My lord is above, the Prime Minister's words are for the country, so you must listen to them."
"Today, the princes are gathering in front of Sishui Pass. If King Wu does not respond with troops, he will not be able to win the trust of everyone. If everyone refuses to obey, they will sin against our country for aiding Zhou. If he adds troops, he will not leave Yin Qi behind."
"King Kuang Zhou believed in slander and repeatedly conquered the western territories. The common people suffered from panic. Now they are peaceful. Now he mobilizes the troops of the world. This is a disaster that has come."
"In my humble opinion, it would be better to follow the Prime Minister's words, unite the troops to defeat the five passes, and join forces with the princes of the world in the suburbs to attack the unjust."
"It can be called a perfect strategy. Please ask the king to think about it."
Ji Fa was delighted when he heard San Yisheng's words. He had already intended to make a move, so he did not hesitate and praised: "The doctor's words are true. I wonder how many troops I have in Xiqi?"
San Yisheng continued to play: "When King Wu's troops enter the five passes, they must worship the Prime Minister as a general and be given Huang Yue and Bai Yan. The Prime Minister has great power and must only listen to foreign affairs so that he can act expediently."
Ji Fa did not hesitate and waved his hand directly: "But according to the doctor's advice, he worships the prime minister as a general and can be dedicated to the expedition."
San Yisheng added: "Meeting an alliance with the princes cannot be simple. We must build a platform and pray to the gods of the emperor, the earth, mountains and rivers to show our determination to negotiate."
Ji Fa nodded: "Everything that needs to be done is done by the doctor."
San Yisheng obeyed the order, while Jiang Ziya went to the side of Qishan Mountain to discuss the alliance with Dongbohou Jiang Wenhuan, Nanbohou Eshun and others.
He also ordered Nangong Shi and Xin Jia to supervise the construction of the general platform. They went to Qishan to select wood, plant bricks and stones, and started construction within a short period of time. It won't take one day to complete the general stage.
The two generals handed over their reports. San Yisheng entered the Chinese army camp and saw Ji Fa:
"I have been ordered to supervise the construction of the general platform. I would like to choose a good time to invite King Wu to Jintai to meet with the princes and make an alliance in Qishan."
Ji Fa nodded and looked forward to it happily. The next day, all the princes arrived one after another and each set up camp in Qishan. There were a total of 18 princes connecting for more than 200 miles.
Xiqi slaughtered cattle and horses and gathered the princes to discuss the strategy of advancing the army.
I saw Nan Bohou E Shun ponder for a moment, and then he spoke first after thinking for a while: "Now the princes will gather for an alliance. We must uphold the great righteousness and establish an alliance leader. The generals will obey the orders and be restrained, and then march to the five passes before we can succeed."
As soon as these words came out, all the princes were shocked and seemed to have something to say, especially Commander Guifang, who looked slightly cold and was waiting to say something.
Dongbohou Jiang Wenhuan, who had been silent for a long time, also stood up at the same time and spoke in agreement:
"What Nan Bohou said is true. Xiqi has many soldiers and generals, Prime Minister Jiang has unparalleled talents, and King Wu is the man appointed by fate to be the leader of the alliance."
Two major princes expressed their stance, and there was no chance that the others would refuse. And those smaller princes had already seen the direction of the wind.
Ji Fa refused again and again. Everyone said it was Xiqi, so Ji Fa had no choice but to agree.
Immediately after, the princes from all walks of life walked towards the altar, with flags from five directions spread out, white and yellow axes built on top, military talismans and general seals, and Ji Fa was invited to ascend the altar. Ji Fa dressed up and carried a sword. He came forward with emotion, burned incense and worshiped again, shouting loudly.
"Now the king of Shang is suffering from the poison of the people. He is like sitting on water and fire. He is full of sins and the emperor is furious."
"We, the princes, have a total of 18 lines, and we have sent an army of 800,000 to serve as an army to punish the people and attack them. We will attack on behalf of Heaven and save the people from water and fire."
"Today, our alliance must work together to fight against the unethical Yin Shang Dynasty. The emperors, emperors, and empresses will learn from this!"
After reading, all the princes pledged their blood to form an alliance. They were excited and shouted loudly.
After a moment of wiping out the blood, Ji Fa came down from the altar and turned around to the central army. Prime Minister Jiang Ziya gave an overview of the military affairs. Everyone raised their tents and sat down, with the princes from both sides at the bottom.
Jiang Ziya looked in all directions, nodded slightly, and said solemnly: "Today we have established Xiqi as the leader of the alliance. You must listen to the orders and fight against the Yin Shang together. Don't compare your strength with your weakness."
"Although poor Taoists are not talented, those who have merit will be rewarded and those who are guilty will be punished. Everyone should abide by it and don't violate it."
Seeing that all the princes nodded in agreement without any objection, Jiang Ziya continued:
"Today, there is an evil thief from the Yin Shang Dynasty named Shen Xin, who helped Zhou to commit cruelty and refused to resist the heavenly troops in front of the Sishui Pass. Now one person must be the vanguard and go straight to the Sishui Pass to challenge."
"I wonder who would like to go?"
…
