The King of Fortune

Chapter 48

Ji Liusun talked with Ji Fa for nearly half an hour, and Ji Fa's doubts were all gone, and he even became kinder to Jiang Ziya.Fearful grandson smiled faintly, then got up to leave, he knew that the monarch and his ministers still had important matters to discuss, and he was an expert in the world, so he didn't like these mundane matters.

If it wasn't for Jiang Ziya's invitation, he wouldn't even set foot in the palace.

Out of etiquette, Ji Faliu was afraid to keep his grandson for dinner, but was declined politely, and he strode away from the hall.Immortals who have reached his level don't need whole grains to replenish their physical strength, they can just eat the wind and drink the dew.

"The Immortal is really a high moral person."

Ji Fa's tone was full of envy, gods and gods are free, no more than ordinary people like himself who live in the world of mortals and are trapped by worldly fame and fortune.To be honest, if it is not limited by status, it is not bad to be a fairy disciple.

Of course, Ji Fa was just thinking about it in his heart. If he was really asked to practice, he would not be able to bear that kind of hardship.From Jiang Ziya's mouth, he learned that the cruelty of practice is not something ordinary people can bear.

Jiang Ziya added: "My senior brother has great wisdom."

The Twelve Immortals are all excellent, and they can be said to be a golden signboard for teaching. Even the God of Haotian is jealous of them, and he should let them go to heaven as errands.At the beginning, Jiang Ziya dreamed of becoming such a great immortal, but his qualifications were too poor, so he gave up.

Ji Fa didn't answer, but looked at Jiang Ziya slightly, as if he was considering what to say.

It is undeniable that Jiang Ziya has worked hard and made great achievements. Since his prime minister, Xiqi's national power has expanded wildly. He has been the well-deserved leader of the princes since his father. When the national strength of the imperial court is exhausted, it will be able to advance to the five passes and replace it with Chengshang.

But it happened that Han Rong caused Jiang Ziya to lose troops and generals several times, and even his own brothers lost a dozen.The concubine mother cried secretly several times because of this, although she didn't say it clearly, she knew that she didn't want her sons to go to the battlefield again.

"Your Majesty has something to say, so don't hesitate to speak up, and the old minister will listen attentively."

It's not a problem to keep silent, Jiang Ziya has a thick skin and takes the initiative to break the atmosphere.

Ji Fa pondered and said: "Father Xiang, after this battle, Xiqi's muscles and bones have been injured, so it is not appropriate to use troops recklessly. How do you plan to deal with Deng Jiugong's army?"

Jiang Ziya is so old-fashioned, so he naturally heard the implication in Ji's words, so he said: "Since the king mentioned this matter, the old minister should also think about this issue carefully on the way to the palace, maybe it can solve the situation of insufficient troops."

After this defeat, the available troops in Xiqi City were less than 20. Even if Ji Fa didn't say anything, Jiang Ziya would not dare to take these people to risk.But the opponent is Han Rong, so he can only think about it.

In recent years, Xiqi's territory has expanded several times, reaching a situation where two-thirds of the world occupies two-thirds of the world. On the surface, it is full of confidence. Losing 10 horses does not seem to be a big deal, and it took a few months to recover.But it has only been laid for a few years, and the hearts of the people have not yet surrendered, so troops are still needed to guard it to prevent the ashes from resurging and setting off the fire of civil strife. In addition, it is also necessary to guard against a powerful Xirong force in the west.

The Xirong forces established their country at the beginning and were known as Kunyi. After being defeated by the army led by Ji Chang, the remnants fled to the bitter cold land in the west to take root and survive. There are still [-] to [-] people. These people are brave and good at fighting, threatening Xiqi Not small.

Xiqi's troops are scattered all over the country, and the available troops are only 30. If one-third of them are lost at once, the troops will naturally be stretched.

Ji Fa's eyes lit up, he suppressed his excitement, and said, "Father Xiang, tell me quickly, what is the solution."

A smile flashed in Jiang Ziya's eyes, and he said frankly: "Your Majesty, the two hundred princes in the West Town have soldiers in their hands. As long as your Majesty revises a letter, these people will definitely send troops and food. How come, the problem will be solved! "

Just now outside the palace, after Jiang Ziya and Filiusun had some discussions, they agreed that the fundamental problem in order to eliminate Ji Fa's worries was to solve the problem of military strength.

Ji Faxi said, "If we follow Xiangfu's words, we can gather hundreds of thousands of troops in just one or two months!"

As the national power of Xiqi became stronger, more and more princes took the initiative to attach themselves. Among these people, many of them only knew Zhou, but not Shang.Due to their weak power, they pay tribute to Xiqi every year. It can be said that it is not difficult for them to send troops.

Jiang Ziya said: "Your Majesty, not to mention hundreds of thousands of troops, 20 horses, this veteran still has the confidence."

Having assisted King Wen for many years, Jiang Ziya understands the mentality of those princes better than anyone else. These people have no righteousness, and whoever has a big fist will obey.Back then, Kunyi was very powerful, and these people did not hesitate to abandon their status as princes and beg for mercy from the barbarians.

Ji Fa was very happy that the problem of troop strength was solved, but there was another problem to face, which was how to defeat Han Rong.

Realizing this problem, the two monarchs and ministers couldn't help but remain silent. Although Deng Jiugong was clearly in charge of Chengtang Daying, the core figure was Han Rong.It is only a dream for Han Rong to survive for a day, conquer five levels, and overthrow Cheng Tang.

"Father Xiang, if Ruogu gives you an army of 30, are you confident to destroy Han Rong in one fell swoop?"

When he said this, Ji Fa had a look of anticipation on his face. As long as he could successfully destroy this army of cutting troops, even if he lost another 10,000+ troops, he thought it would be worth it.These soldiers and horses on the left and right do not belong to the Xiqi family.

"Your Majesty, this veteran can only do his best."

After several defeats, Jiang Ziya has already cast a psychological shadow, and Han Rong is his lingering nightmare.I have already promised twice in front of the king, but in the end I broke my promise, and I can't promise again this time.

Ji Fa disappointed and said, "Father Xiang, you are getting old."

Back in the day, when Jiang Ziya assisted his father, Xiqi's soldiers attacked the city and plundered the land, invincible. For a while, Shenzhou changed color.Passing the throne into his own hands, he also repeatedly defeated powerful enemies, causing heavy losses to the court, Xiqi became famous, and the officials of the court changed color in horror.But now he has only suffered a few defeats, and Jiang Ziya's aura of pointing the country is no longer there.

Jiang Ziya was stunned, and sighed, "I'm in my eighties this year, so I'm really old."

Ji Fa pondered and said: "Father Xiang, you know what I want to hear, but you don't want to say it, so there must be your concerns. Since we accepted Huang Feihu's family and completely broke with the imperial court, this battle has no winners and losers. Will give up, you know what Gu means."

Jiang Ziya said: "The old minister understands that when he goes back, he must make a perfect plan to live up to the king's trust in the old minister."

Ji Fa nodded and said: "Father Xiang is a smart man. How Xiqi will change in the future and what achievements he can achieve depends entirely on Father Xiang. What I can do alone is to stand behind silently and support Father Xiang."

"Your Majesty's words have upset the old minister. The affairs of the country depend on the King and the ministers to govern. What the veteran can do is risk his life and repay the kindness of the old King Wen and the trust of the King."

Jiang Ziya's expression became extremely dignified, he felt a heavy responsibility on him again, and felt a little uneasy.

"The war has just ended, and Xiangfu still has a lot of important things to deal with, so I won't leave you for dinner."

With Jiang Ziya's words, Ji Fa was in a good mood, a smile was already on his face, and the atmosphere in the whole hall was also relaxed.

Jiang Ziya bowed and left the palace.
