Fengshen: I can inherit the inheritance of my subordinates

Chapter 89
The merchant army has been attacking the city from three sides, which has lasted for two hours.

In the city, from the princes and nobles to the ordinary people in the city, everyone is in a state of panic.On the busy street in the past, it will be deserted, not even a single person can be seen, and the guards of the palace are all expressionless.

The storm of this war has enveloped every corner of Xiqi.

In the palace, Ji Fa knelt down in front of the table with a gloomy face, without saying a word.The palace man next to him who was holding the ginseng soup held it up for half an hour, his hands trembling, but he didn't dare to put down the plate without Ji Fa's permission.

Suddenly, Ji Fa pushed all the memorials on the case table to the ground, the palace man was distracted, dropped the plate, spilled all the bowl of ginseng soup on the ground, and the bowl fell to pieces.

Ji Fa was furious, and said: "You useless slave, you can't even hold a bowl of soup, what use are you!"

"My lord, the villain deserves to die, the villain deserves to die!"

The palace man was frightened out of his wits and kowtowed.

Ji Fa said loudly: "Come here, take this servant down and stick him to death!"

As soon as the words were finished, a few wolf-like guards rushed in from outside the hall. The palace man turned pale with fright and kept begging for mercy, but Ji Fa was indifferent, Xiqi City was in danger, how could he care about the life and death of such a small person.

"My lord, what made you set such a big fire on?"

Not long after the palace people were taken down, Yi Jiang brought a palace lady into the hall.Of course, they only dared to come in with Ji Fa's consent.

Ji Fa said: "It's nothing, I'm just worried about the war."

Yi Jiang winked at the lady-in-waiting, who carefully put the ginseng soup on the table, and quietly backed away.

Yi Jiang stepped forward, picked up the ginseng soup, and said: "Your Majesty, you didn't eat this morning. This is the ginseng soup that the concubine specially asked the dining room to cook for you. You have two sips."

Ji Fa shook his head and said, "Gu is not in the mood to drink soup right now."

Yi Jiang persuaded: "Your Majesty, you are the ruler of a country. State affairs are important, but your body is equally important. This soup has been boiled for two hours. It is delicious. Just try it."

Ji Fa glanced at her and nodded.

Yi Jiang was overjoyed and brought the bowl over to feed him.

Ji Fa took the bowl, took a few sips, but couldn't taste anything, and ate another piece of chicken, like chewing wax.He put down the bowl and sighed: "Xiqi City was besieged by the merchant army, it is in danger, I am really worried."

Yi Jiang said: "Your Majesty, a few years ago, the four generals of the Demon Family led an army to attack Xiqi City for three days, and nothing happened in the end. I believe that Prime Minister Jiang will be able to repel the powerful enemy this time and defend Xiqi City." .”

Ji Fa said: "Madam, this time is different from last time."

How many troops did the four generals of the Mo family bring? This time Deng Zhong brought a full 20 troops. The people sent to investigate the situation brought back the latest progress on the battlefield. .

Who is Nezha, the disciple of the gods, Xiqi's vanguard general, even he was beheaded, and Ji Fa didn't have much confidence in Jiang Ziya's ability to hold the city.

After all, in the past month or so, Jiang Ziya has hardly won any battles. Instead, he lost troops and lost generals. His prestige in Xiqi has been declining.If he hadn't supported him, he, the prime minister, should have abdicated long ago.

Yi Jiang was taken aback, and said, "Your Majesty, the matter is really so serious!"

Ji Fa nodded solemnly, and said, "Ma'am, it's not that the lonely king is threatening you, we're going to plan for the worst."

"My lord, you..."

Yi Jiang realized that there was some inappropriateness in these words, so she quickly stopped.

Ji Fa smiled wryly and said, "Since Gu inherited the throne, this Xiqi has never had a peaceful life. I don't know how many of my Xiqi's sons died on the battlefield. Compared with his father's performance, Gu, this King Wu is really incompetent. "

Yi Jiang said softly: "My lord, don't say that. Isn't war just for peace. I believe that you will be as famous as your father in terms of political achievements and become a famous emperor who will last forever."

Just as Ji Fa was about to speak, a voice came from outside the hall: "My minister, Yin Xun, I have something to ask to see the king."

"Come in."

After Ji Fa finished speaking, Yi Jiang was about to avoid, he said: "Madam, there is no need to avoid."

After Yin Xun entered the palace, he knelt down in front of the two of them and saluted, "I have seen the king and queen."

Ji Fa glanced at him, and asked: "The merchant army is attacking the city, and you are not defending the city, why come to the palace to see Gu?"

Yin Xun was a little embarrassed, but the battle was the most important thing, so he said: "My lord, the battle is serious. Prime Minister Jiang asked my ministers to come to see the king, and ask the king to send reinforcements to help defend the city."

Ji Fa sneered and said: "Reinforcement, reinforcement! Not long after Deng Zhong ordered the siege, Gu had already transferred all the troops from the camp to defend the city. This manpower is not enough, so he came to look for Gu's dignitary!"

Yin Xun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The enemy army is not afraid of death, and Deng Zhong has many capable men. Our army is at a disadvantage in numbers and cannot drive the enemy out of the city. As a result, the war has continued and suffered heavy losses."

Generally speaking, the attacking party must have twice as many people as the defending party in order to be confident in launching a siege battle.But Deng Zhong was lucky. He sent 17 people to attack the city, and there were 15 defenders.

But the Shang army, with their high momentum and fearless spirit, forced 17 to 30.

Ji Fa said in a deep voice: "There are no soldiers in this Xiqi, maybe let those common people go up to the city wall to help defend the city."

Yin Xun said: "The people are untrained, and if they go to the battlefield, they will only become cannon fodder. Your Majesty Rende will definitely not let them go to the battlefield to die in vain."

"There are 7000 palace guards in this palace, and there are quite a few guards in the mansions of your highnesses. You can gather [-] to [-] people. Take them to the battlefield. Go and tell Jiang Ziya that this is the last new force in the city, and tell him to give it to him no matter what. Hold Xiqi City alone."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will pass on your words to Prime Minister Jiang, and I will swear to defend Xiqi City to the death."

Ji Fa threw the tiger talisman in his hand, Yin Xun thanked him, then turned and left the hall.

Yi Jiang looked at Ji Fa with some distress, and said, "Your Majesty, I am sorry for you."

She never thought about it, the situation has become so serious, she heard that the Grand Master fought for three years, no matter how fierce the fighting outside the city was, what should the people in Xiqi City do, it was a peaceful scene.

But this time, even the guards of the palace were transferred to the front line. It can be said that Xiqi City has reached the moment of life and death.

Ji Fa said: "I don't suffer from being alone. It's my Xiqi soldiers who are really suffering. They are fighting against the enemy at the moment, guarding the orphans, their wives and children, and even more so, guarding this homeland."

Yi Jiang said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, you are a wise ruler who will benefit the people. King Zhou is a foolish ruler who will only make life difficult for the people. If my city of Xiqi is destroyed, God is truly blind."

Ji Fa smiled lightly, who are the gods? They are those high gods, they only care about their own interests, they don't care about the life and death of mortals.
