Han Rong, the general guarding the Sishui Pass, was worried about the Western Zhou army stationed outside in the government office. Because Sishui Pass was the first gateway between the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Yin Shang Dynasty, if the Western Zhou Dynasty wanted to attack the Shang Dynasty, they would definitely take the lead. Attack his Sishui Pass.
There are only 10,000 soldiers in Sishui Pass. How can they withstand the hundreds of thousands of troops from the Western Zhou Dynasty? Moreover, since his favorite general Yu Hua was injured by Nezha, he went to practice with his master and has not come back yet. This made Han Rong feel even more unsure.
When Han Rong was worried, his soldiers suddenly reported the arrival of Zhang Guifang, the commander-in-chief of Qinglong Pass, and Shen Gongbao, the Great Shang's national advisor.
When Han Rong heard this, his face immediately showed joy. At this time, these two people suddenly came over, and he knew that his support had arrived.
Han Rong said hurriedly: "Please invite the two adults in quickly."
As soon as Shen Gongbao and Zhang Guifang came in, Han Rong immediately said enthusiastically: "I have admired the names of these two adults for a long time, and today we have met. Please take a seat, please."
After Shen Gongbao and Zhang Guifang sat down, Shen Gongbao first said: "I noticed that Mr. Han has a slightly worried look on his face. What's the matter?"
Han Rong sighed and said: "It's not because of those rebels. They have led a large army to station outside our Sishui Pass. They will attack our Sishui Pass in the near future. How can I resist with the few soldiers here?"
Zhang Guifang laughed loudly and said: "General Han, there is nothing to worry about. Now, His Majesty the Great Shang has appointed me as the commander-in-chief of the rebel army, and the national adviser as the military advisor, and has given us 300,000 sergeants." I came here specifically to relieve Mr. Han’s worries.”
Han Rong's face was filled with joy, and he immediately asked: "I have seen the two adults, but where are our 300,000 troops?"
Zhang Guifang said: "Because the Imperial Guards and I are faster, we arrived first. As for our army, it will take about two days to reach Sishui Pass."
Hearing that the army had not arrived yet, Han Rong's face showed worry again.
He said: "Although the army of the Western Zhou Dynasty has just been stationed outside our Sishui Pass, their morale is now greatly boosted. Our sergeants have not arrived yet. If they call for formation outside, what will we do?"
Shen Gongbao on the side took a fan and fanned it a few times and said: "What's the harm? Although our army has not arrived yet, as long as Bishui Pass defends, we can still defend it until our army arrives, right?"
Han Rong said: "Even so, if we just stay behind closed doors, it will definitely affect the morale of our army."
Shen Gongbao looked at Han Rong with a smile on his face and said, "I didn't expect that General Han would still want to fight with the Western Zhou army under such circumstances?"
Han Rong said: "I was just wondering if General Zhang Guifang was so brave that he could go out and have a singles fight between the soldiers when the Western Zhou generals called for formation. If he won, it would definitely boost the morale of our army. If the Western Zhou Dynasty attacked with a large army, Hit us, and then General Zhang can quickly return to our Sishui Pass to close the door for defense."
In fact, Han Rong was still a little unconvinced with Zhang Guifang. He was a little jealous that Zhang Guifang could be regarded by Emperor Xin as the commander of the 300,000-strong army, so he came up with this idea. If Zhang Guifang lost, he could apply to be the commander of the 300,000-strong army. If the commander of the army wins, then he will be willing to obey his orders.
Shen Gongbao had an insight into people's hearts and naturally understood that Han Rong was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Guifang becoming the master of Sishui Pass as soon as he arrived.
Shen Gongbao immediately looked at Zhang Guifang to see what he had to say.
Although Zhang Guifang didn't have that many Huahua intestines, she also knew what Han Rong was thinking. If this happened to her, she would feel a little unconvinced.
Zhang Guifang said: "What General Han said makes sense. I also want to see the strength of the Western Zhou generals. If the Western Zhou Dynasty comes to call for battle, I don't mind going over to compete with them."
Han Rong was overjoyed and said: "Marshal Zhang really has the demeanor of a general. Here we have a banquet to welcome the two adults."
Jiang Ziya, who was in the camp, also received news of the arrival of Zhang Guifang and Shen Gongbao, and couldn't help but frown.
Seeing the slight sadness on Jiang Ziya's face, Ji Fa couldn't help but ask: "Is the Prime Minister worried about Shen Gongbao and Zhang Guifang?"
Jiang Ziya nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I am dissatisfied. Shen Gongbao and I were from the same sect. Later, he had a conflict with me and betrayed my sect. He is proficient in Taoism and has extraordinary wisdom. This time we may attack Sishui Pass." It’s a bit troublesome.”
Ji Fa smiled and said: "Prime Minister, there is no need to worry. We in Xiqi are full of talented people. I am afraid that Shen Gongbao is not our opponent. Besides, the leader of the army this time is Zhang Guifang. I heard that although this person is highly skilled in martial arts, he is not our general in the Western Zhou Dynasty." All of them are highly skilled in martial arts, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to defeat them.”
Jiang Ziya didn't want to undermine Ji Fa's self-confidence, so he could only agree and said: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true! Let's take a rest today, and tomorrow we can go to the Sishui Pass to call the formation."
Ji Fa said: "Then please leave it to the Prime Minister."
Early the next morning, Jiang Ziya and Huang Feihu led an army to form a formation outside Sishui Pass.
Shen Gongbao and the other three stood on the city wall, looking at the Western Zhou generals calling for formation below.
Han Rong said: "Marshal Zhang, the Western Zhou Dynasty is calling you a coward. Do you want to go down and fight with him?"
Zhang Guifang looked at Han Rong and said: "Why is General Han so anxious? In my opinion, all the generals in the Western Zhou Dynasty are traitors, they are local chickens and dogs. My general Feng Lin can kill them all." kill."
"Feng Lin, are you willing to fight?"
Behind Zhang Guifang, a man with a complexion like indigo, hair like cinnabar, fangs up and down, a ferocious appearance, and strong blood came out and said, "I am willing to go."
Feng Lin bravely led three thousand elite soldiers and then opened the city gate and rode out on his horse to fight.
The Western Zhou general who was calling the formation outside was named Cheng Wei, and he was also among the top fifteen generals among the Xiqi generals.
Feng Lin rode out, exchanged a few words with Cheng Wei, and then started fighting.
The two fought for more than ten rounds with no outcome, and Feng Lin spit out a red bead from his mouth. The bead emitted a red light and hit Cheng Wei directly in the face.
Cheng Wei's head exploded, and a divine soul was led away towards the Conferred Gods List. Cheng Wei's soul entered the Conferred Gods List, and was immediately pushed out by the power of the Conferred Gods List. It was considered that his qualifications were not enough and he was not qualified to be canonized as a god.
Cheng Wei's soul had no choice but to be reincarnated.
As soon as Cheng Wei was killed, Jiang Ziya knew that Feng Lin was a general with Taoist skills, and it was difficult for ordinary soldiers to match him, so he ordered his troops to retreat.
Jiang Ziya led the army back to the camp, and Ji Fa hurried over to ask how the battle was going?
Jiang Ziya said with a look of shame on his face: "There is someone in the merchant army who possesses special skills. Our ordinary soldiers here are no match for him."
Ji Fa said: "Then why don't we just attack the city with a large army and break through the gate of Sishui Pass in one fell swoop?"
Jiang Ziya shook his head and said: "Not to mention directly attacking the city will cause too many casualties to our army, and our army's morale will also be affected, but your Majesty, don't worry, I can go to the master's gate to bring some disciples with Taoist skills. Fight against Dazhou."
