Prehistoric six ears against the sky

Chapter 158 Li Zhou
Jiang Ziya commanded the army to retreat, and the formation was scattered. It was a pity that Kong Xuan did not have cavalry in hand, otherwise he could wipe out [-] enemy troops with a single attack, but since the king did not give him cavalry, he had no choice but to give up.

Kong Xuan knew too little about the matter of conferring gods. Even if he defeated Jiang Ziya today and wiped out all the [-] troops, he would not be able to do anything to Jiang Ziya, and he might fall into crisis. An important reason for not giving cavalry to the vanguard.

Sun Ming knew that Kong Xuan's cultivation base was advanced, and at the same time, he was quite clever in arranging troops. If he put the cavalry in his hands, he might directly march into Xiqi. Although mortals have opened the catastrophe, they are not determined Power, and now is not the time for mortals to fight.

Seeing that Xiqi's soldiers had retreated, Kong Xuan stopped the army instead of chasing them, and then ordered the camp to be tidied up. There are not many places in Jinjiling where troops can be stationed. There are many mountains, many waters, and dense forests.The troops stationed here is relatively open, and it is also the best place, "Send an order to send [-] infantry and [-] crossbowmen forward for three miles to guard, and the scouts will follow Jiang Ziya's army to see where they are placed. Report, the army is finishing the camp, let the soldiers rest for one night, and the camp will be rearranged tomorrow."

It is impossible to accommodate a million troops here, and it is necessary to find another place to place the army, so it can only move forward, but the task given to him by the king is to garrison here, and now he does not need to rush to find a place to stay.

At this time, the civilian husband had followed up with his luggage, and immediately began to tidy up the camp. The fire-headed troops of the various departments of the army were also cooking. A hot dinner is what they need most now.

Jiang Ziya led the army to the foot of Shouyang Mountain overnight in embarrassment. There was a long-prepared camp here. After all, he never thought about occupying Jinji Ridge and fighting Chaoge's army there. After all, the terrain was too complicated for the army to fight. .As for the strategy of the sneak attack this time, Jinji Ridge was just a transit point, and they did not expect to lose the first battle.

In the camp, Bo Yikao, as the eldest son, accompanied his father in the army, and Ji Fa also came with him. Seeing the army returning in a panic, he hurried out to meet him, "Prime Minister, what's the matter?" Bo Yikao asked.Bo Yikao was a bit pedantic, too kind and weak, so he was not the best candidate for heir. Ji Chang was more optimistic about Ji Fa, but Ji Fa didn't show any ambition.

Jiang Ziya had a look of shame on his face, "My lord, the old man made a mistake. I didn't expect Kong Xuan to be so powerful. He saw through my ambush plan at a glance, and killed a carbine at night and attacked our army station, but it's okay." , They worked hard and went on an expedition, but they were also unable to pursue them, and our losses were not great." After Jiang Ziya finished speaking, he looked back, and there were indeed a lot of troops, but they hadn't been counted yet.

Bo Yikao comforted Jiang Ziya and said: "You don't have to worry about it, the prime minister. Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Kong Xuan is also a general of Chaoge. He is not a reckless man after all. The prime minister should go to rest first, and my second brother and I will organize the army again." .”

Jiang Ziya went down to rest, while Bo Yikao and Ji Fa were in charge of sorting out the army, and finally counted the losses, but more than 4000 soldiers were lost. Down, regardless of casualties are powerless to escape.

"Brother? It seems that the outcome of this battle with Chaoge is really unpredictable!" Ji Fa said worriedly.

"Second brother, it's okay. Prime Minister Jiang just lost the first battle, and he didn't lose much. He will fight again in the future. Now there is one key question, have you thought about it?" Bo Yikao asked.

"Brother is talking about father's founding of the country?" Ji Fa understood after thinking about it. Now you are a rebellious minister and traitor against Chaoge. Even if you play the banner, the people will not support you once they hear it. ah!
"That's right, now the two hundred princes from the west are gathering, but everyone has the hat of traitor on their heads, and the relationship is nothing more than an alliance. It's not a big deal at ordinary times, but if Prime Minister Jiang is defeated like this, someone must jump out to fight for power, so I think it's better for me to establish the country in Xiqi." Bo Yikao expressed his thoughts, and Ji Fa also nodded.

"Brother is right. In this way, we and Da Shang will be in an equal and opposite relationship, and the two hundred princes in the West are already in a difficult position to ride a tiger. When the time comes, they will have to bow their heads and surrender."

"Tomorrow we will discuss with the prime minister. When the time comes, we will directly establish a country in the camp of the former enemy, which can be regarded as establishing a country by force."

On the second day, both sides were very calm. Kong Xuan began to ask people to expand the camp. It is unknown how many troops will stay here, but the camp should be as large as possible, but it should not be too close to the edge of the surrounding mountains. It is very dangerous, and it is easy to be attacked by others, so we can only try our best.The army was divided into several waves, some were resting, some were patrolling, and the rest dispersed, and began to cut down trees along the surrounding hillsides.

The trees were sent to the camp, and the peasants started to process them with tools, and then built the camp walls, horse repelling, archery towers, etc., and at the same time, they could also broaden the view of the lookout posts in the camp.The defense of the big camp is comprehensive, which shows that Kong Xuan is also a real general now, not a monk of quasi-sage.

The Xiqi camp was also quiet, but there were not small waves in it. The news of Jiang Ziya's defeat spread, and then it spread more and more, and the more it spread, the more outrageous it became. In the end, the entire army was wiped out, and Jiang Ziya was seriously injured. Dying.

It is certain that some of them are contributing to the flames. In this regard, Bo Yikao made up his mind to find Jiang Ziya directly and tell him his thoughts.

"Oh, it's all my fault for my incompetence. Originally, I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to ambush the former army of the Great Merchants, come back with a big victory, and let the lord ascend the throne." Jiang Ziya looked annoyed. Bogey.

"The prime minister had such an idea a long time ago, so it's very good, and this failure is not a harvest." Ji Fa said from the side: "This will allow us to see the movements of the princes from all walks of life more clearly. Get rid of them, now the military power is in our hands. Get rid of them, and the rest will naturally agree to the matter of father becoming king, which happens to kill two birds with one stone, isn't it better than victory?"

"The second son is very witty, and the old man understands, so I will write a letter to ask the lord to establish the country." Jiang Ziya made sense when he heard that he was non-toxic and not a husband. Even my brother advocated this way, and he didn't insist on his own opinion. This was the gap between him and Ji Fa.

Then a letter of Jiang Ziya's persuasion was sent to Xiqi City, but there was a bloody storm in the camp of Shouyang Mountain, and more than thirty princes were killed. The strength of the shock can be imagined, and then Ji sent out He described the benefits of establishing a country, and then waited for the attitude of other princes.

People are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat. Under such circumstances, what can I do even if I disagree?At first, in order to fight against Chaoge and keep their fiefs, they handed over military power to Xibo Hou Jichang. They did not expect such a result today. It will never be taken away, so it can be regarded as reaching an agreement.

The atmosphere in Xiqi City was relatively relaxed. The people didn't know about the arrival of Chaoge's army. They were still living their own lives, while Ji Chang was watching Jiang Ziya's performance in the council hall.

"What do you guys think? Let's talk about it!" Ji Chang passed on the playlist.

After reading it, San Yisheng said: "My lord, this matter is indeed imperative. Otherwise, if the name is not right, the words will not go well, and if the words are not right, it will be a failure. The name of the anti-thief is really too ugly." The ministers below They all agreed.

"Okay, according to the prime minister's wishes, the country will be neutralized in the former enemy's barracks, and the name of the country will be Zhou. I will meet him in Da Zhou." Ji Chang directly agreed, and at this time, there is no need to ask for it. Time Urgent, before the arrival of the main force of the great merchants, the establishment of the country must be completed, so that the two sides will directly die.On the one hand, they didn't want to fight, and on the other hand, there was no order, so the place was quiet again.

Five days later, Wucheng Wang Huang Feihu's second army arrived, and Kong Xuan went to greet him, "The last general will see the deputy commander."

"The general is free of courtesy. The general has made his first contribution. Congratulations." Huang Feihu, the king of Wucheng, knew Kong Xuan's ability, so he didn't dare to trust Kong Xuan, so he hurriedly got off his horse to help him.

"I don't dare to take credit for it. This is where I guarded in the past. Naturally, everything is clear in my heart. It may not be possible to see through the opponent's scheme in another place." Kong Xuan was modest.

"Why should the general be modest, but the king arranged you to be the vanguard officer, and I think it is because of this."

"Your Majesty is indeed wise, but this time he didn't come with cavalry, otherwise Jiang Ziya might not go back." Kong Xuan tested it out, Wu Chengwang Huang Feihu's army brought cavalry, although not many, but if he had With this cavalry in hand, the results of the battle are bound to be rich.

Wucheng Wang Huang Feihu looked around, and then said: "This matter is not urgent, we will talk about it after we enter the camp, and there are some things that should be told to the general." Kong Xuan understood, and took them directly to the camp. 20 troops were accommodated at once, so the camp was full.

The two were about to go to the big tent of the Chinese army to talk, when drums and music rang out from the direction of Shouyang Mountain, and the sound spread to Jinji Ridge, which shows the great momentum there.

It took five days to prepare so much because Xiqi was richer, otherwise it would be impossible to have such a big momentum. Kong Xuan frowned and looked into the distance. He didn't use magic at all, and now he is very used to the life of an ordinary person.

"General, what is this sound?"

"Deputy Marshal, this is the sound of drums and music. I think something must have happened in Xiqi. For details, we just wait for the scouts to report."

"Okay, let's talk about things first, they can do whatever they want."

　Some people say that the [-] horses don’t know how to distribute them. It’s easy to think about it. Recall that when the emperors traveled in ancient times, especially some cars were carried by dozens of people. What about the width and length of [-] horses? All can be accommodated.
