"So the Grand Master didn't know?"
After hearing this, the frost on Li Jing's face melted slightly.
"But there is no need to keep these Four Saints of Kowloon Island."
Jiang Ziya snorted coldly and turned to look at Zhao Gongming: "Aside from Grand Master Wen Zhong, do these four people have any other friends?"
"This... I remember that they have a good relationship with Shi Tianjun who is guarding the outskirts of Jin'ao Island. And Shi Tianjun was also a good friend of the Grand Master. It seems that... he has a good relationship with Chanjiao Shen Gongbao?"
Zhao Gongming thought for a while and said uncertainly.
"Oh? Is there anything else?"
Jiang Ziya's eyes lit up: "It's actually related to my cheap junior brother? Then this matter will be easy to handle, leave it to me!"
"Mr. Jiang, do you plan to take action personally?"
Li Jing looked at Jiang Ziya with some surprise. He didn't doubt Jiang Ziya's ability to set up a trap... He just felt that these people were unworthy of using a left prime minister for such a trivial matter!
"No, this time the truth must be taken action."
Jiang Ziya's old face smiled kindly, but the cold light flashing deep in his eyes made people shudder: "The Four Saints of Kowloon Island captured people to feed their mounts, and the Ten Heavenly Lords made friends with them. It's not much different when you think about it... In addition, my junior brother Shen Gongbao is insidious and jealous. Only if I take action personally can I deceive him better. It just so happens that the Zhoutian Xingdou Formation also needs him to lobby more monks to be on the list, so as to reduce the pressure on me, the great merchant!"
"good!"
Li Jing thought for a while and finally nodded, agreeing with Jiang Ziya's opinion.
Their next task is to delay for a year... It is not that conquering Xiqi requires one year of preparation, but that the counterattack on Heaven requires one year of preparation! Well, even with the secret cooperation of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother!
"This matter has been settled... As for tomorrow's court meeting, if the king orders a general, just follow him."
On the second day, Jiujian Hall, the Great Shang Dynasty Hall.
Di Xin held Daji in his left hand and Huang Concubine in his right hand. Behind him, Concubine Yang stood upright and followed behind with a pen in hand... Di Xin looked like a lustful hungry ghost. How could he have any manners that a human king should have?
But everyone in the court has long been used to it...or in other words, they are already used to Di Xin's current disguise!
As for Di Xin’s true appearance, isn’t it possible to eavesdrop on his heart? Moreover, they were not unaware of the fact that the king almost shot Zhunti to death with an arrow that day. These deeds were all preserved in the Seven Rooms Hall! However, only people in the organization can view it!
Let's not talk about it for the moment... In the nine-room palace, Di Xin sat on the throne with his two beloved concubines in his arms, and glanced at the world, making people feel a little majestic?
"My dear friends, there is only one day left before the expedition. I wonder if you can decide who will accompany the army to the battle?"
The ministers were silent, but not long after, Li Jing walked out of the queue with his tooth wat in hand.
"Didn't your Majesty reject our suggestions during the last court meeting? He also said that you personally decide who will be chosen for the battle..."
Although Li Jing did not clearly state his attitude when speaking, the slightly aggrieved tone of his words made Di Xin feel a little embarrassed.
[Ahem, did you go too far last time? Look at Li Jing, how wronged he is? 】
Xia Zhao: Li Xiang, your method of using retreat to advance... is awesome!
Li Jing: Your Majesty has something to say, children who cry can have sweets...
"Ahem, since everyone has no objections, what do you think of this list of players that I have drawn up?"
As he spoke, Di Xin clapped his hands... The servant behind him took out an imperial edict and began to read it!
"Here is Xiqi's rebellion... For the common people of the world and for the future of Great Shang, God Xin, the contemporary Great Shang King, wants to lead an army of 50,000 and lead a personal expedition...
Tiao Qinglong Guan General Zhang Guifang and Deputy General Feng Lin were appointed as vanguards. They led 10,000 vanguard troops out of Sishui Pass and stationed a camp a hundred miles outside Xiqi City, waiting for the army! The king led 40,000 troops to the camp..."
After the chamberlain finished reading the imperial edict, without waiting for Emperor Xin to say anything, the Minister of War, Lieutenant General Lu Xiong, stood up from the ranks of military generals!
"Your Majesty, I have objections to the arrangements for this expedition!"
Di Xin blinked and looked at Lu Xiong in confusion: "What's the problem?"
[That's right, I have recalled it carefully. The first round of battle was between Zhang Guifang and Feng Lin, plus the battle between the Four Saints of Kowloon Island and Xiqi. Why couldn't it work? 】
[Is it possible that Lu Xiong’s death is inevitable? Do you have to freeze to death? 】
"Your Majesty, apart from the vanguard officer, which general is guarding the left side of the army? Which general is on duty on the right side? Who protects the food and grass? Who is behind the palace? There are also military judges and generals of the Chinese army..."
Lu Xiong skillfully asked Di Xin about the deployment of the army... Di Xin was speechless when asked, this... marching and combat, is it so troublesome?
[Is it so troublesome just to configure the generals? Then march, cook, and set up camp...]
[Hmm... Do you think war is too simple? I feel like, is this a good example of one general being incompetent and bringing down the three armies? 】
[No, what are you thinking about? ! Isn’t it true that being an orphan is going to hold you back? 】
Di Xin almost couldn't help but slap himself on the head...
[Yes, it’s normal to be lonely and ignorant. If Gu Ruo knew everything, how could he intervene in the battle and hold back Dashang? 】
"Ahem... Lieutenant General Lu, according to what you say, how many generals will I need to deploy?"
Lu Xiong gave Di Xin a strange look... Your Majesty, with your military skills, how dare you say that the imperial commander will march personally?
In other words, we all have to cooperate with you... If it were anyone else, I, Lu Xiong, would definitely make everyone cry!
"At least...five generals are needed!"
"Then do you have anyone to choose from?"
Di Xin was babbling, he thought war was too simple!
[Gu is still young, too young! 】
"hole……"
Lu Xiong subconsciously wanted to call Kong Xuan's name... Di Xin reacted and shouted quickly: "The generals in Dongzhen, Nanzhen and Chaoge don't count! Nor do the generals in the major passes! They all have their own guards. It’s important to attack a small Xiqi, there’s no need to mobilize them.”
"That Zhang Guifang..."
"Qinglong Pass is close to Chaoge. If the surrounding passes are not broken, it is basically impossible to reach Qinglong Pass!"
Di Xin retorted and continued, "Just find a general to take over!"
"Forehead……"
Lu Xiong paused, and just in time, Li Jing connected with the Tongxin card and passed the person he and Jiang Ziya discussed yesterday to him!
"Your Majesty, I suggest that the deputy general of Sishui Pass, the four generals Fang Bi, Fang Xiang, Lei Kai, and Yin Pobai, be appointed as the generals to protect the left and right wings of the army. According to the grain inspector..."
Lu Xiong hesitated for a moment, then looked at Li Jing again... Li Jing nodded vigorously, and then he took a long breath and said: "I suggest that Nezha, a disciple of the king, can be the food supervisor of the army; Wen Gouchen, a disciple of Grand Master Wen Zhong, , can be the flag-bearer for the army!"
"Nezha? Wen Gouchen?"
Di Xin was a little stunned: [Lu Xiong, why would you recommend them? 】
[Lei Kai and Yin Pobai are fine. They are two pure traitors. They are not very strong and do not know magic. They cannot change the situation of the battle. Fang Bi Fang Prime Minister. Both brothers are traitors. It is impossible to say that they can stab in the back... …]
[But, bring Nezha and Wen Gouchen with you... Nezha and Wen Gouchen now have nothing to do with Chanjiao! 】
Di Xin thought about the pros and cons: [Wen Gouchen still doesn't know his strength...but my personal disciple Nezha's strength is no weaker than the original. What if...]
"Nezha is still young, and Wen Gouchen is less than five years old. Isn't it inappropriate to be brought to the battlefield at such a young age... I'll let you know what to do..."
After thinking about it, he felt that these two people were an unstable factor, so Di Xin wanted to refuse.
However, before he could finish speaking, Fei Lian on the side nodded and stepped out of the queue at Li Jing's secret signal: "I don't think it's appropriate either!"
"Although Nezha and Wen Gouchen are disciples of the king and the grand master, they have extraordinary martial arts skills and are proficient in strategy... But after all, they are too young and have never experienced a battle. The matter of food and grass is so important. If the two young generals cannot bear it, Excited..."
"Who do you think can't stand it?"
At this time, Nezha's voice suddenly came from the back of the hall: "Young master, I am the wisest!"
With that said, Nezha ran out from behind and hugged Di Xin's thigh: "Master, I also want to accompany you to fight!"
Looking at Nezha's cute eyes, Di Xin was really moved for a moment.
It's not that I can't bear to part with you, but...
[Yes, Fei Lian is right, why did Gu forget it? The gap between those who have been on the battlefield and led soldiers and those who have never been on the battlefield is not as big as usual! 】
[If I don’t say too much, let’s just talk about Zhao Kuo and Ma Di. One’s father is the famous general Zhao She, and one’s master is Zhuge Liang. Which one is not a great guy? But when they lead troops... they are talking on paper! 】
[Little Nezha is smart, but after all, he is still too young and has never been on the battlefield alone... The same is true for Wen Gouchen! 】
[How important is food and grass... You can't even let them serve as food inspectors, but you can stab them in the back! Yes, that’s it! 】
"No, I think we have to give the young general a chance! The grain inspector and the flag-bearer will decide on Nezha and Wen Gouchen!"
Ignoring Fei Lian's story, Emperor Xin Qiankun directly determined the positions of Nezha and Wen Gouchen as grain inspectors...
[Haha, Gu is indeed a prodigal genius! 】
Little Nezha: Are they Ma Su and Zhao Kuo? Just talk on paper, right? Hum, young man, I can only be Zhuge Liang, no, I am Sima Yi, not Ma Di who lost his street pavilion!
{PS: As mentioned before, Di Xin taught Nezha, but he also talked about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms... Unfortunately, Di Xin himself seems to have forgotten this! ｝
"Your Majesty, you must not..."
Fei Lian, E Lai and other generals also pretended to try to stop...
"Gu said, this matter is settled!"
Di Xin snorted coldly and glanced at the generals... The invisible majesty unfolded, so that the generals subconsciously closed their mouths in shock... He secretly thought in his heart: Your Majesty, this true spirit fusion is a little more, right?
When Di Xin saw that no one spoke again, he thought he had a plan. He lowered his head and stretched out his hand to rub Nezha's ball head!
"Little Nezha, the safety of that lonely grain and grass depends on you!"
"Master, don't worry, Nezha will definitely fulfill his mission!"
Nezha puffed up his chest, knelt down on one knee, and gave a general salute! The small body, coupled with the firm eyes and voice, actually gave people a sense of belief.
Emperor Xin didn't care, and nodded towards Nezha... then stood up and looked at the ministers in the palace: "At noon tomorrow, order the troops to go out!"
"Here!"
In Qinglong Pass, as soon as Emperor Xin issued the decree, the monk general's order was passed to Qinglong Pass!
"marshal……"
"How long has it been since the military system of Dashang was changed? Are you still calling me a marshal? Remember, I am a major general and division commander! Not a marshal!"
Zhang Guifang, who was reading military books in the military tent, didn't even raise his head and scolded the ordering soldiers.
This military book is a method of marching and formation obtained from the Yongle Grand Ceremony in the hands of Emperor Xin... Although it is not as classic as Sun Tzu's Art of War, it is still a rare art of war.
Of course, it's not that the merchants were reluctant to show Zhang Guifang Sun Tzu's Art of War. In fact, in the ancient world, hundreds of schools of thought were closely involved. Being able to see the method of marching and forming formations already meant that Zhang Guifang had outstanding military exploits and made a huge contribution, right?
"Yes, Major General..."
The messenger nodded obediently and then raised the message: "Major General, Chaoge military order!"
"Military order?"
Zhang Guifang raised her head for the first time, frowned, took the military order from the ordering soldier, opened it and read: "Order Qinglong to take charge of the general army, Major General Zhang Guifang, to assemble an army of 10,000 people and send troops to Xiqi in three days..."
"Call Colonel Feng to me."
After reading the information, Zhang Guifang showed an extremely solemn look for the first time, clapped her hands, and called the housekeeper outside to go to Feng Lin's residence to call for someone.
After half a cup of tea, Feng Lin quickly rushed into the tent and asked eagerly: "General... Major General, is there a war?"
"Colonel Feng, sit down first. I have a war to discuss with you."
Zhang Guifang asked Feng Lin to sit down with a solemn expression... After he sat down, drank tea, and completely calmed down, he handed Feng Lin the general order.
Feng Lin looked through it and looked at Zhang Guifang with some surprise: "Major General, is there any problem with this military order?"
"I never said there was a problem with the military order...it was the enemy who had the problem!"
"What do you mean, Xiqi?"
Feng Lin frowned even more: "Don't we already know about this matter? There must be a battle between Dashang and Xiqi! Moreover, it is a life and death battle! Major General, are you..."
"I, Zhang Guifang, am loyal to Dashang, and I can tell the difference between heaven and earth!"
Zhang Guifang shouted angrily and blocked Feng Lin's words back in his mouth.
"Then what are you worried about?"
"Hey, you kid."
Zhang Guifang shook her head speechlessly: "It's not like you've never been to Chaoge, and you've never met Li Xiang and Jiang Xiang. Don't you know who our biggest enemy is when dealing with Xiqi? Not a mortal, but a monk!"
"So what? Even if the path of life and death disappears and the true spirit is destroyed, as long as it can protect the health of the human race, I, Feng Lin, will never regret it even if I die!"
Feng Lin raised his head, fearless... Zhang Guifang looked at him for a long time, and suddenly, a bright smile bloomed on his face!
"Yes, the worst thing is that the path of life and death disappears and the true spirit is destroyed! Colonel Feng, you really taught me a good lesson!"
As he spoke, Zhang Guifang laughed loudly and stood up suddenly... An extremely strong aura emanated from his body!
But I saw him push open the tent door and bring Feng Lin to the military camp platform...
"Beat the drums and order the troops!"
I hope readers will support me a lot! Be sure to order all of them! ~
