Ji Zhao and Taigong stood on the city gate, watching the newly ennobled princes and kings leave Haojing. They brought more or less large numbers of retainers, slaves, goods, and weapons. Taking advantage of the opportunity of enfeoffment, Ji Zhao After sorting out the six armies that directly belonged to the emperor, they found that although their numbers were much smaller, their combat effectiveness was somewhat superior.
In Ji Zhao's eyes, these people have different destinies.
Some have black luck floating above their heads, which proves that their process of becoming a vassal will not be smooth, and their lives may even be in danger; some have purple luck, rising straight into the sky, and at a glance they are historical overlords such as the Marquis of Jin and the Marquis of Yan. In the country, they are all clansmen with the surname Ji.
The eldest sons of Ji Zhao and Tai Gongwang were also among them, and they went to the feudal country on their behalf. Moreover, these two men also brought the largest number of soldiers, thousands of them!
Ji Zhao's eyes were on the largest fleet, which was the fleet of the former Yin Shang prince Pan Geng. He was sent to the Yin Shang's hometown to appease the Yin Shang survivors and was given the title of Duke.
In order to supervise the prince, Ji Zhao sealed the elders named Ji in Guan, Yong, and Bei, all of which were feudal states, blocking almost every major transportation route for Pan Geng to leave Yin.
"Tai Gong, do you think Guanhou, Yonghou, and Beihou can keep an eye on Pan Geng, the king of Yin and Shang?"
Taigongwang muttered: "If you try your best, there will be no problem, but..."
Ji Zhao understood the meaning of Taigong Wang's words and smiled: "These people are either my uncles or my brothers. They are all clan elders surnamed Ji, and they are the closest relatives of the emperor. If you treat them harshly, the patriarchal clan will How can majesty be reflected?"
There are sixty-seven princes named Ji in the ninety-six countries. In less than ten years, the power of the clan named Ji will have greatly expanded. By then, the biggest threat to the old Yin Shang people and the invasion of Yi Di will be defeated. The status of the emperor was naturally stable.
As for the emperor not being able to hold the sharp sword of the clan named Ji in the future, this is not among his considerations. If the patriarchal system is at its most strict and cannot even cut down the vassal, then the emperor might as well abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his surname.
However, Ji Zhao had naturally considered Taigong Wang's concerns, "Taiggong's worries are also justified. At that time, Taigong may be asked to follow me and lead the emperor's three armies to the east to quell the chaos. By then, I don't know if any of these ninety-six countries will be included." How many times do you want to seize the title and eliminate the country?"
Taigong Wang responded: "The late king entrusted Bangzhou to you when he was dying. Besides, Qi Jiang is the queen. How could I not do my best?"
Qi Jiang is the queen, her child is the legitimate son, and will definitely inherit the throne in the future. At that time, Qi will be a veritable uncle.
When Ji Zhao dies, even if the Luo State is still one of the most important vassal states in the East, it will certainly not be able to maintain its current transcendent status. By then, the Qi State will be the first among all countries, especially the princes of the opposite sex in the world. Headed by Hou.
Ji Zhao paused for a moment, then smiled again and said: "The queen is of noble birth, and I am sure she will be able to give birth to a crown prince in the future, and continue the reign of our country Zhou."
For Ji Zhao, the moment he gets the Heaven Rank·Heaven Card, the Ji Jiang Alliance becomes dispensable, but let alone that he will not directly enlarge it, from Bang Zhou's point of view, this alliance is very needed. to maintain stability.
You must know that the Jijiang Alliance is not only an alliance between the emperor and the Jiang clan, but also a smaller Jijiang Alliance - the Qiluo Alliance. Together with the Qiluo Alliance and the newly built cities, the entire East will be stabilized in this triangle of power. in the structure.
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing more.
With the news that the emperor canonized Wu Geng as a duke to rule the old land of the Yin and Shang Dynasties and manage the old people of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the survivors of the Yin Shang Dynasty were very happy, especially when the emperor allowed them to use the old customs of the Yin Shang Dynasty.
Wu Geng was worried and told his close ministers many times: "The Emperor of Zhou sealed me in the capital of his homeland to appease the remnants, but the three kingdoms of Guan, Yong, and Bei surrounded me. If they want to harm me, I will How to resist?"
He never imagined that Guan, Yong, and Bei would not care about supervising him at all.
Guanhou was the eldest brother of King Wu, and he was the most qualified minister to be regent. However, he did not expect that King Wu passed him over and chose Ji Zhao as regent.
He vented his dissatisfaction with his superiors many times: "Late King Bintian, I am the direct eldest son of the clan, and Ji Zhao is just the fourth son. How can I be the regent and govern the world?"
Moreover, although Ji Zhao expanded the power of the Jis and enfeoffed the princes wantonly, he strictly restricted their development with the etiquette system, and he only got the status of a marquis, which was the same as the Marquis of Jin, whom he had always looked down on, which made him even more dissatisfied. .
Yonghou and Beihou were the elders of the clan, so they were naturally unwilling to succumb to Ji Zhao, a junior, so they spread rumors among the vassal states, "The emperor is young, and Ji Zhao must have evil intentions as regent. I'm afraid he wants to He wants to replace the emperor and establish himself as king."
The three decided to join forces to cause chaos.
Wu Geng was worried day and night and restless, so he joined forces with the three princes Guan, Yong, and Bei, and mobilized dozens of Fang Kingdom leaders who were close to the Yin Shang and had not been canonized by the Emperor of Zhou. Involved in the war.
…
Ho Kyung.
The news of the rebellion in the four kingdoms of Guan, Yong, Bei and Song came back almost as quickly as possible. The Second Marquis of Qiluo had already led many princes to fight against the rebels.
In the palace, the ten-year-old Kang Wang Ji Yun sat at the head of the throne. He held the corner of Ji Zhao's clothes with his little hand and asked, "Uncle Wang, are you going to go out to destroy the rebels? Just like your father."
The only ministers in the hall were Ji Zhao, Tai Gongwang and Ji Zhao's half-brother Cheng Houlin.
Ji Zhao and Taigong Wang both wore armor and held swords, and there was no look of panic on their faces. They had expected this rebellion.
"The Emperor, don't worry, he is just a traitor. This time I and the Grand Duke go on an expedition, the affairs of the country will be handed over to Marquis Cheng. If the Emperor has anything to do, he can discuss it with Marquis Cheng." He looked at Ji Lin and said, "Marquis Cheng this time When you stay in the royal city, you must walk on thin ice, serve the emperor with all your heart, and remember not to make any mistakes."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Houlin hurriedly saluted and said: "I must bear in mind what Dazai said. There will be no shortage of food supplies, and it will not delay Dazai's plan for the Eastern Expedition."
Ji Zhao and Taigong's expedition to the east was not just to deal with a rebellion. After the rebellion was put down, they would take advantage of the victory over the eastern kingdoms of Dasuo to build Luoyi and prepare for the subsequent division of Shaanxi and rule. After all, the emperor grew up day by day, and the world It has to be handed back to him in the end.
This time out of the capital, it may take at least three years or at most five years. Naturally, the city of Haojing must be handed over to its own people before they can rest assured.
As for the Eastern Expedition, Ji Zhao is 100% sure. After two years of accumulation, his current strength is no longer the same.

Although no more props have been obtained in the past two years, two heaven-level props, one earth-level prop, the previous three achievements plus the accumulation of the past two years, total 15,000 luck points.
After several years of training and learning, Ji Zhao's three-dimensional attributes have exceeded 90, and all have reached the level of famous ministers. They can be called small hexagonal warriors. Coupled with knowledge that is different from ordinary people, Ji Zhao is confident to deal with any problems in this era.
Moreover, the army, nobles, and people all surrendered to him, and the royal family was not all as rebellious as the three eunuchs. A group of princes surnamed Ji, such as the Marquis of Jin and the Marquis of Cheng, were all on his side. They were united, and this battle was bound to be won.
The three of them discussed some matters regarding the subsequent expedition. At the court meeting, Ji Zhao announced to the ministers of Wang Ji that he was going to expedition, and the emperor held a large-scale ceremony to worship the heaven.
Half of the Sixth Army of the Son of Heaven, which was the most elite guarding Wang Ji, was taken away by Ji Zhao. At this time, an army of 12,000 people, a total of more than 30,000 troops, set off from Haojing to the east of Bangzhou.
Chinese military chariot.
Ji Zhao and Taigong sat facing each other.
"A farce!"
"It's a farce, but there are so many rebels, Dazai still needs to be cautious."
"Divide them and transform them, gather them and annihilate them. They are nothing but chickens and dogs, vulnerable to a single blow."
Ji Zhao closed his eyes and meditated, thinking about the direction of mountains and rivers, and where he could march, camp, set up ambushes, and form formations.
Many people have played too many strategy games and think that fighting is just a matter of strategy. In fact, the status of counselors is far inferior to that of generals.
The so-called harmony is righteousness, and the general who leads the army is righteousness.
The ability of a general to command troops is the foundation for the realization of all plans, and commanding troops is actually a very boring thing. Most of the time, he just marches, sets up camp, and sets up defenses step by step.
Ji Zhao came from Wang Jihao's capital, holding the emperor's edict, and ordered the princes to send troops to support the three armies.
The monarchs of all countries knew very well that if they did not help at this time, when Ji Zhaoping returned from the rebellion, would he still be able to enjoy their good fruits? He would certainly not die, but it would be worse to die than to seize the title and destroy the country!
Moreover, they themselves are very satisfied with the current order, so naturally they don't like those who mess up the situation like the Third Supervisor.
By the time Ji Zhao finally set foot on the old land of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and when he made an alliance with the princes, he had 60,000 soldiers, plus slaves who served as cannon fodder and transported grain and grass, the number of the army exceeded 200,000.
"Dazai's knowledge is truly extraordinary. For the first time he commanded an army, he was able to manage an army of 200,000 people in an orderly manner, which is better than many generals who have been fighting wars all year round."
Taigong Wang praised half-heartedly.
Taigong Wang was not surprised that Ji Zhao was able to command an army of 30,000 people in an orderly manner before, because 30,000 people were not many, and basically any talented general could do it when he was just starting out.
But an army of 200,000 people can still be well organized, which even makes Taigong Wang find it a bit incredible. You must know that Ji Zhao has never commanded an army!
The command of a large corps requires the support of experience. This is an unbreakable truth!
If the Taigong knew that there was a divine man named Han Xin in later generations, who would command a large army as soon as he started, and win consecutive battles, and the large army of hundreds of thousands of people could fight with ease, he probably wouldn't find Ji Zhao's behavior unusual.
This time there are ninety-six countries in the world. There are twenty-three countries that are in rebellion with the three eunuchs and are kidnapped by the three eunuchs. There are currently twenty-six princes under Ji Zhao's command. The princes from the north and the south who have received the emperor's edict are still dilly-dallying on the road. rub.
These princes who were sealed to the north and south were either distant relatives of Ji's surname, or princes of the opposite sex. The country was small and weak, and they were fighting against the Yi and Di for days. They were very busy and did not want to participate in the war in the Central Plains. , and did not dare to mobilize the army.
Most of them came with dozens of soldiers and hundreds of slaves plus military supplies, food and grass. Ji Zhao didn't care. After all, one of his purposes in enfeoffing the princes was to wipe out the barbarians all over the world.
