"Damn it!"
In Xi Qi's Marquis of the West residence, Ji Chang slammed the table and stood up. All the officials in the court knelt down immediately.
" In the past seven days, King Zhou's millions of troops were still unstoppable. They broke through Mianchi and arrived at the Yellow River ferry. Then, they broke through the wandering souls and destroyed Lintong. They reached Chuanyun Pass. In less than a few months, King Zhou's army arrived at Xiqi.”
"All the vassals in the world are fence-sitters. Now that they see King Zhou's power, they are all scrambling to join him.”
All the officials immediately kowtowed in unison." Lord Marquis, please calm down. King Zhou suddenly sent out his troops. We did not order in time and allowed King Zhou to seize the opportunity. We are really guilty!"”
Ji Chang angrily flicked his sleeves, coldly glanced at Bo Yikao and shouted,""It's all your fault!"
Bo Yikao immediately knelt down and said," King Zhou is cunning. I am guilty!"”
Jiang Ziya walked out of the crowd with an unfathomable expression and said,""Lord Marquis, please don't blame Eldest Young Master. Eldest Young Master is a loyal and honest person, not good at devious schemes.”
Hearing this, Bo Yikao immediately showed his gratitude to Jiang Ziya, while Ji Chang blushed. How could he not know what kind of person his son was? Even ghosts wouldn't believe Bo Yikao's loyalty.
However, Jiang Ziya had given him a way out. After all, he couldn't really punish Bo Yikao. Even a vicious tiger wouldn't eat its cubs.
He was just showing his selflessness in front of the ministers.
"Forget it, forget it. I know you are loyal.”
Ji Chang waved his sleeves, and the officials stood up. They were all grateful to Jiang Ziya. Although this person liked to brag, he was able to hit the nail on the head every time he flattered. This was considered a skill.
"Prime Minister, how is the matter in Jizhou?”
Ji Chang had been worried about Jizhou recently. Jizhou was not far from Zhaoge. If they could take Jizhou as their base and besiege Zhaoge, King Zhou would definitely go back to rescue them. In this way, they would be attacked from both sides.
"Reporting to Lord Marquis, Long Xu Hu has already led thirty thousand troops and will arrive at Jizhou City in a few days. Young Master Zhou Gongdan will personally lead more than a hundred thousand troops to follow behind. Defeating Chonghou Hu and resolving the siege of Jizhou will only take a snap of his fingers!”
When the civil and military officials heard this, their faces lit up with joy.
Dragon Whisker Tiger was born with divine strength and was extremely brave. Young Master Zhou Gongdan was also a fierce general of Xiqi. With such power, Chonghou Hu was naturally no match.
"Good! When my son returns victorious, I will naturally feast the ministers at night!”
Ji Chang was delighted, and all the officials immediately kowtowed to thank him. Bo Yikao frowned and said,""Father, I've heard that the Marquis of the South has raised an army to besiege Zhaoge. I've heard that the Grand Preceptor has ordered Su Quanzhong to lead 100,000 elite soldiers to attack Xia Chun, the South Minister.”
"Oh? There's actually such a thing?" Ji Chang frowned when he heard this. Immediately, an official said,"Before King Zhou went to the west, he asked for military rations from the vassals. Because the Marquis of South Minister refused to accept this matter, he was even sentenced to thirty strokes by the Grand Preceptor. It is reasonable for him to rebel while Zhaoge is empty!”
Jiang Ziya snorted when he heard this.
This didn't mean that he had a thorough understanding of the situation. It was just that he knew how to act tough. The highest level of acting tough was to be different. If others said that it was reasonable, then if you found the unreasonable from the reasonable, then you would be superior to others.
He had tried this trick many times. Today, when he heard this minister say that it was reasonable, he immediately said,"This is inappropriate! I think there's a trap!"
When Marquis of the West Ji Chang heard this, his brows immediately trembled. He said,"Why do you say that, Prime Minister?"
Jiang Ziya snorted and said," Grand Preceptor Wen knows the art of war. We have to be on guard. Moreover, Su Quanzhong has just been instigated to defect. His father, Su Hu, is trapped in Jizhou. We don't know how loyal Su Quanzhong is. Grand Preceptor Wen sent him to attack the South Minister. If Su Quanzhong mutiny, wouldn't Grand Preceptor Wen be letting the tiger return to the mountain?”
Hearing this, everyone suddenly understood. Indeed, Grand Preceptor Wen's actions must have hidden a killing intent.
But what exactly was the killing intent?
Everyone was confused and turned to look at Jiang Ziya. Jiang Ziya was speechless.
F * ck! Who the hell knew what Grand Preceptor Wen wanted to do? That was a person who used troops like a ghost. If you think you can guess him, then you have already fallen into a trap.
All the officials of the Marquis of the West's residence fell into deep thought. Some of them were scratching their ears and cheeks anxiously. They really couldn't understand why Grand Preceptor Wen, who had always been a godlike soldier, would deliberately make such a mistake.
Fan Fei also couldn't understand it, so he voiced out his doubts. Grand Preceptor Wen just curled his lips and smiled, saying,"Your Majesty, what are you thinking about? I'm letting Xi Qi's courtiers think about it.”
"Aiya, Grand Preceptor, why did you have to send Su Quanzhong?”Fan Fei also felt that Grand Preceptor Wen must have a deeper meaning in sending Su Quanzhong.
Grand Preceptor Wen grinned and said,""The art of war is the art of ghosts. This is like playing chess. Every piece you place has to show the other party infinite possibilities, but you have to be clear in your heart that you only have one goal, and that is to defeat the other party!”
"The reason why I sent Su Quanzhong is because Su Quanzhong is an unstable chess piece. At least, everyone in Xi Qi thinks that Su Quanzhong can rebel at any time and be used by them. In fact, I just randomly sent someone. It's not interesting. It's just to waste the energy of the officials of Xi Qi and make them focus on Su Quanzhong.”
Speaking up to here, Fan Fei immediately came to a realization.
Damn, in Grand Preceptor Wen's chess game, the most important chess piece should be Xia Chun. If the people of Xi Qi didn't believe that Xia Chun would rebel, Grand Preceptor Wen's plan wouldn't work. This time, he directly sent the very unstable Su Quanzhong. Everyone's eyes moved from Xia Chun to Su Quanzhong.
Right now, everyone in Xi Qi was probably thinking about why they sent Su Quanzhong instead of thinking about whether Xia Chun's rebellion against the Shang Dynasty was valid or not.
Fan Fei looked at Grand Preceptor Wen and felt a little anxious. Fortunately, Grand Preceptor Wen was a loyal official. This old man was so shrewd that he had been tricked.
In the residence of Marquis of the West, the officials racked their brains, but they still didn't know why Grand Preceptor Wen would send Su Quanzhong.
Perhaps Grand Preceptor Wen saw that Su Quanzhong had the intention of rebelling, so he used Xia Chun to get rid of him. However, he gave him 100,000 elite soldiers. This was not true.
Perhaps Su Quanzhong was brave and Grand Preceptor Wen felt that he could easily pacify the Marquis of South Minister Xia Chun, but in terms of bravery, why not send Yin Shanran?
Aiya…Damn it, what is Grand Preceptor Wen trying to do? Why did they send Su Quanzhong?
The minds of Xi Qi's officials were filled with Su Quanzhong, Su Quanzhong, and no one else.
Jiang Ziya threw the difficult question to everyone. Seeing that all the ministers had solemn expressions, he smiled awkwardly and cursed in a low voice. What was the point of guessing Grand Preceptor Wen's actions? It was purely a waste of energy. Why not just wait and see? The more he guessed, the more confused he became!
"Cough cough…Lord Marquis, let's put this matter aside for now. Now King Zhou is stationed at the Yellow River ferry. With such a natural danger, I, Xi Qi, will definitely rub his spirit.”
Hearing this, Ji Chang sighed and said,"Prime Minister, do you have any good ideas?"
Jiang Ziya said in a deep voice," Send Xin Huan and Tao Rong to stop them. Xin Huan has wings and can fly. Tao Rong holds the Wind Gathering Banner and drives the wind and water to drown his millions of soldiers!”
Water attack?
Ji Chang's eyes lit up.
