Chapter 132 Reverse the Chaoge, Xiqi's righteousness
However, after the king of Wen hired Jiang Ziya as the prime minister, he handed over the things of Xiqi to Jiang Ziya for processing, and asked his second son Jifa to assist him.
It turned out that after the death of his eldest son Boyi, Ji Fa, the second son of his direct relatives, gradually received the attention of Ji Chang. In addition, Ji Chang was old and weak, and his mind was exhausted, so he put the burden of Xiqi's rule on Ji Fa. With the joint efforts of Jiang Ziya and Ji Fa, Xiqi Dazhi can be said to be praised by the people.
After everything in Xiqi was on the right track, Jiang Ziya began to prepare for the future war. After all, if he wanted to overthrow the corrupt rule of the Shang Dynasty, he must have enough force to rely on it. Ji Chang was not very dissatisfied with this. His eldest son, Boyi Kao, died at the hands of King Zhou, and he was forced to eat the flesh of his son. With such a great hatred, even Ji Chang, a good man, was furious. Moreover, who in the world doesn't want to sit on the throne of tens of thousands of people?
Everything in Xiqi has been carried out in an orderly manner, but when Xiqi was ready to start a war, Ji Chang fell ill. As the saying goes: illness is like a mountain, but Ji Chang has never had a chance to get better this time. When Ji Chang was dying, he passed the throne to Ji Fa and ordered Ji Fa to worship Jiang Ziya as his father, and treat Jiang Ziya as if he were himself.
Ji Fa cried loudly and worshipped Jiang Ziya as her father. Shortly after that, Ji Chang died of illness. Ji Fa ascended the throne, named himself King Wu, and named his father Ji Chang King Wen. Xiqi is in a big funeral, but he has never sent troops to attack business, just rest and recuperate
However, it is said that at this time, the imperial master heard that Zhong returned to the court, which made the government suddenly clear, and the ministers also seemed to see the hope of Yin Shang's revival again. Unfortunately, it backfired. Just when the government was doing good, the land of the North Sea rebelled again. After Wen Zhong learned about it, he had no choice but to take the lead again and defeated the enemy in two months.
But during the period of Wen Zhong's expedition, Chaoge became smoky again, and Fei Zhong and You Hun were rampant again. However, when they thought of Wen Zhong's scolding King Zhou, they were also Qi Qiran in their hearts, afraid that Wen Zhong would settle accounts with him after returning to the court. After thinking for a long time, the two finally came up with a way to seize the military power. If they had the military power in hand, I'm afraid Wen Zhong would not dare to attack them easily.
Now that the military power of the great merchant is all in the hands of two people, one is Wen Zhongwen Taishi, and the other is Huang Feihu, the younger brother-in-law of King Zhou. Now that Wen Zhong's expedition to the North Sea, he can only take Huang Feihu to fight. After thinking for a long time, Fei Zhong and You Hun came up with a poisonous plan to frame Huang Feihu.
The two first bribed the maid in the palace, and deliberately brought her to the deer platform when Huang Feihu's wife entered the palace.
At that time, King Zhou was drunk and mistakenly recognized Huang Feihu's wife as Daji, and he was about to turn it upside down. How is Huang Feihu's wife willing to follow? In desperation, he jumped down from the deer platform and lost his jade on the spot. Seeing this, King Zhou suddenly woke up and felt a little regret in his heart.
At this time, Huang Guifei, the sister of Huang Feihu, learned that her sister-in-law had come to Lutai, so she rushed here and happened to see her sister-in-law falling off the Lutai. Huang Guifei was immediately furious, so she went straight to the deer platform and went to King Zhou to argue.
I only heard Huang Guifei say angrily, "Your Majesty, what crime did my brother and sister-in-law commit? Is the king going to kill her?"
King Zhou woke up at this time and regretted it. After listening to Huang Guifei's words, he didn't know how to answer. However, King Zhou was also quite dissatisfied with Huang Guifei's questioning tone. At present, he said forcelessly, "This woman's words angered the lonely king, and the lonely king killed him."
Huang Guifei was even more unhappy when she heard King Zhou's words. She asked, "I don't know what my brother and sister-in-law said, which made the king want to kill her!"
As soon as King Zhou heard Huang Guifei's question, he was aggressive in his words, and he was even more angry and shouted, "The King of Gu is the king of Wancheng. Who do you want to be executed?"
Huang Guifei was also furious when she heard this and said harshly, "Your Majesty, now you are the brother and sister-in-law of my concubine who are dead! Why can't I ask each other?
When King Zhou heard this, he was immediately angry and directly pushed forward a handful of Huang Guifei. Huang Guifei's daughter was the opponent of King Zhou. He was immediately pushed back a few steps, and finally made a slight mistake and fell off the deer platform. When King Zhou saw this, he was immediately shocked. He hurried down to Lutai and checked it, but he saw that Imperial Concubine Huang had returned to hell.
Someone had already reported Fei Zhong and You Hun about this matter. After the two learned the news, they looked at each other and smiled, and then ordered someone to spread the news. Jing waited for Huang Feihu to rebel. At that time, the two could naturally collect the military power.
Sure enough, Huang Feihu was furious after learning about this. Several brothers in the family unanimously persuaded him, and Huang Feihu directly turned his heart into the morning song and went to Xiqi. At this time, Huang Feihu is still the king of Wucheng, in charge of the power of soldiers and horses in the world. If he wants to sing the imperial song, it is naturally effortless. And he walked silently, no one knew.
Secondly, after King Zhou woke up, he remembered all kinds of things yesterday, and then thought of his brother Huang Feihu, who shared life and death. He felt very uncomfortable. So he ordered Huang Feihu to see the car. Not long after, the people sent came back and said, "Your Majesty, the palace of Wucheng is already an empty house."
King Zhou listened and thought for a moment, only to know that Huang Feihu was the opposite.
At the moment, King Zhou did not reflect on himself. He immediately became furious and scolded, "What a yellow tiger. The lonely king treats you well, but you rebelled and leave. How can it really be unreasonable?" Then he ordered all over the world to capture the rebel Huang Feihu.
Huang Feihu was full of twists and turns all the way, and he almost survived several times. Fortunately, there was no danger, and finally arrived in Xiqi safely.
After Huang Feihu arrived in Xiqi, Jiang Ziya discussed with Ji Fa and officially launched the banner of anti-business, establishing the country as Zhou, and Ji Fa as King Wu of Zhou. Jiang Ziya was worshipped as his father and prime minister, and Huang Feihu was appointed as the king of Wucheng to lead the world's soldiers and horses. All other officials at all levels were promoted to a higher level.
In the morning song, after King Zhou learned of the rebellion of Xiqi, he was immediately furious. The horse uploaded the world. The edict said: Ji Fa is a minister, and the emperor is the king. The following attack is for disloyalty; the great rebellion shames the sages of the ancestors, and the fall of the ancestors in the name of rebellion, which is unfilial; initiating rebellion, abolishing the new policy, causing the people to suffer. If the water is deep and hot, it is unkind; if you ignore righteousness, in order to achieve the purpose, you do not hesitate to collude with nobles, and it is for injustice to be a traitor. Such an unfaithful and unfilial, unkind and unrighteous person, how can he have the face to accuse the king and be abandoned by the people of the world!
This article was written by King Zhou himself, which not only caused shocks in the territory of the merchants, but also in the whole world. Under this article, Ji Fa's reputation of disloyalty, unfilial and unkindness and injustice suddenly spread all over the world. After that, King Zhou called on the princes with conscience from all sides to respond to the king's order, rise up the king of Qin, and get rid of the control of the traitor Ji Fa. Even if there has been a rebellious act before, the emperor can not be blamed in the past, and he will be rewarded for his achievements.
Subsequently, King Zhou ordered Wen Zhong, who had just returned for a long time, to lead the army of 300,000 to Xiqi.
Along the way, Wen Zhong's army was like a broken bamboo, and almost without encountering any obstacles, they came to Xiqi City. The speed was so fast that people were stunned. The good news on the song of the dynasty was continuous, which made King Zhou very satisfied. Rarely went to the court for a month in a row. Moreover, King Zhou had ordered the minister of the court to prepare a celebration banquet, just waiting for Wen Zhong to return to the court.
Unfortunately, the merchant army, which has been going smoothly, has finally suffered a setback under Xiqi City.
Xiqi City is extremely strong, with towering walls, sufficient supplies and sophisticated weapons. Even the fighting spirit of the army is also very high. In addition, Jifa's father and son have been benefactored for many years, and the people in the city have supported it one after another. In this way, Xiqicheng blocked the great merchant army. Jiang Ziya, the commander of the Western Zhou Dynasty, also seemed to be determined. He let Wen Zhong provoke, but he just couldn't hold on. He shrank into the city like a turtle, and beheaded some criticized generals and generals who wanted to lead troops out of the city in public in public. Therefore, no one in Xiqi talked about the war.
Wen Zhong saw that Jiang Ziya used such a rogue move, and he had no choice but to lead the troops to forcibly attack the city.
I have to say that Jiang Ziya's leading army is as stable as Mount Tai, and the whole Xiqi has exerted amazing combat power under his command. Even Wen Zhong, a veteran who has been fighting for a long time, secretly admires him. The Yin and Shang army attacked the city in turn, but Xiqi City was not damaged at all. There were layers of corpses under the city, and even the Shang army camp was full of scarred soldiers. And these results also made the merchant army, which had been winning every battle, finally realize the strength of the enemy and put away their arrogance.
After several sieges, the imperial division also realized that Xiqi is now indestructible and non-human. He wanted to lure the enemy out of the city to fight, but the cunning Jiang Ziya would not be easily fooled. For a while, the imperial division was also helpless, so he had to hang up the battle card to fight again.
However, Jiang Ziya obviously has more than this means. As early as the Shang army attacked, Jiang Ziya had begun to lay out. In the land recovered by the Shang army, Jiang Ziya secretly arranged a lot of chess pieces. These chess pieces gathered together and attacked the grain road behind Wen Zhong with the help of the familiar terrain, which was repeatedly successful, making Wen Zhong The supply in the front is unsustainable, and the beacon fire in the rear is on fire.
Wen Zhong discussed with the generals and went to the rear to suppress the rebellion. The two sides were like cunning foxes and hard-working hunters in the rear. One rushed around in front, and the other followed closely behind. They fought happily for a while, and the war was flying.
But this is not the biggest problem. The biggest crisis is food.
Years of drought have emptied Chaoge and granaries in various places. There are still countless people waiting to be fed in all directions waiting for relief. The grain in Wen Zhong's hand is squeezed out of the people's mouths bit by bit. If the war is not over, the Chamber of Commerce is really chaotic! Wen Zhong thought that maybe Jiang Ziya would not adopt turtle tactics until he knew about his own situation.
At this last moment, Wen Zhong finally made a decision. Perhaps this is the most regrettable decision in his life, that is, to invite his Western teachers to help and break through his iron walls with the art of immortals.
Wen Zhong first invited the disciples of the Western sect, the four saints of Jiulong Island, one surnamed Wang Mingmo, two surnamed Yang Mingsen, three surnamed Gao Mingyouqian, and four surnamed Li Mingxingba; these four were the four generals of the Houlingxiao Hall.
Before Shang and Zhou, the battles between the two sides were tightly limited to mortals in the world. Even the practitioners such as Wen Zhong and Jiang Ziya did not use the immortal method, but the entry of the four saints represented that the immortals were involved in the war between the Shang and Zhou in the world, and it was out of control from then on.
The participation of the four saints has indeed greatly reduced the pressure on Wen Zhong's side. Xiqi City, which is as solid as gold, is just a leaking house full of flaws in the eyes of the four saints. Under the joint attack of the four people, Xiqi was in chaos. Yang Jian, Jin Zha and others could not resist the momentum. In the end, they were still the second interpretation. The disciple Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun came in person and used the Xuanmen magic treasure to settle the four saints one by one, and killed four people with the disciples of the sect.
Then Jiang Ziya fought in Qishan City. There was a strong wind for three days, which was as cold as the wind, and then heavy snow fell from the sky. At this time, it was the autumn of July. How could the soldiers in single-clothes and iron armor withstand the cold? The three armies were frozen. Xiqi attacked heavily under the leadership of Nangong and the two generals of Wuji, and the merchants were caught off guard. The army **, with too much strength, finally stabilized the situation, but the merchant army suffered heavy losses. The soldiers froze to death and countless deaths in battle. Moreover, the weather was cloudy and the wind was blowing and frozen. In this case, if he did not withdraw, he would die. If he withdrew, he would be chased and killed. At this time, the imperial division was at a loss, and he was in a dilemma.
