Fengshen Wendaoxing

Chapter 169 Surrounding the West and Rescuing the North

Chaoge.

On the wide West Street, an ordinary carriage headed for the center of the city.

Lu Chuan sat quietly in the carriage with his eyes closed, and the noisy and lively sounds from the street outside the carriage fell into his ears.

"Good thing!"

Because in the past few years, Emperor Xin appointed treacherous ministers, built large-scale construction projects, built deer terraces, wasted money, and was squeezed and exploited by treacherous ministers, which made the people of Chaoge miserable and complained privately.

Chaoge, the largest city in the world, is gradually losing its bustling and prosperous past.

Fortunately, not long ago, after the advice of him and Wen Taishi was adopted and implemented, it made this big city appear to be revived again.

Soon the carriage arrived at the palace.

In front of the palace, he also met several other doctors and officials, all of whom were urgently summoned by Di Xin.

Several people quickly entered the palace and came to Jiujian Hall.

After entering the main hall, I saw that many civil servants and military generals had already arrived, but they all had expressions of surprise and uncertainty, whispering to each other.

"Doctor Lu!"

After Lu Chuan arrived, some acquainted civil servants greeted him one after another, and Lu Chuan also smiled back.

Suddenly the upper doctor Sun Rong and the lower doctor Xia Zhao came over, frowned and said: "Doctor Lu, do you know why the king called us into the palace in such a hurry?"

"I'm not too sure about this," Lu Chuan said, "Perhaps we can only find out when the king arrives later."

These people don't have his kind of news channel, so it's not clear about Xiqi's attack on Beichong.

But it's best if he doesn't say anything about it, and we'll talk about it later when Di Xin comes.

"Teacher!"

A few people were talking, suddenly saw the white-haired Grand Master Wen also coming, with a solemn expression, frowning as if thinking about something.

After all, today is the next day.

If Di Xin had something to do and didn't wait until the morning of the next day to discuss it with all the officials, but chose to call urgently in the afternoon, it must be an extremely important event.

"The king is here!"

All the officials continued to ask Wen Zhong about the matter, but after a few words, the Palace Attendant appeared at the entrance of the main hall and shouted loudly.

Civil and military personnel hurriedly lined up in order. At the gate, Emperor Xin wore a royal robe and a beaded crown, with a gloomy expression, entered the top of the hall and sat down.

Chonghouhu and Shen Gongbao followed behind him, but Chonghouhu looked extremely anxious and restless at this time, and even a little bit angry.

"Meet the king!"

All the officials saluted Emperor Xin.

"Your Majesty, I don't know why you called me here so urgently?"

After the ceremony, I heard that the grand master went out to ask questions for all the officials.

Di Xin waved his hand: "Bei Bohou, please tell the Grand Master"

"The traitor, Ji Chang, raised his swords indiscriminately, and sent troops out of Xiqi to attack me in Beichong."

Chonghou Hu clasped his fists and said to Wen Taishi and the others: "Taishi, there are still adults, please judge for me."

"Xiqi attacked Beichong?"

Hearing this, the faces of all the officials suddenly changed, and they looked at each other.

These two are one of the four major vassal states, and their power is only under Yin and Shang. How did these two fight?

"Lord Xibo?"

Even Grand Master Wen shrank his pupils when he heard this, frowned and said, "Is this really true?"

Both Xiqi and Beichong are the four major vassal states, and Jichang and Chonghouhu are also at the same level of title, so it stands to reason that Jichang has no qualifications to conquer Beichong at all.

In addition, Chonghouhu took advantage of the opportunity to build a deer platform for Emperor Xin to make money, squeeze and exploit the people, so his reputation in the court was very bad.

"How dare the Marquis lie to the Grand Master and your lords about such an important matter? This matter is absolutely true, and now Ji Chang has led a hundred thousand troops to camp outside Chongcheng."

Chonghouhu said angrily: "My son Yingbiao led the army to fight with him and lost his soldiers. My brother Chongheihu also went to help. The military situation is urgent and I am sending you an urgent request for help."

"The rebel Ji Chang, who left without saying goodbye back then, betrayed his good intentions, and now dares to be good at swordsmanship. He really doesn't take Gu in his eyes."

Di Xin slapped the table with one hand, and said angrily: "Now I am going to send troops to order generals, and cooperate with Chonghou to surrender and kill the rebellious ministers, what do you think?"

Hearing this, the grand master fell silent, and all the officials discussed and discussed.

"Chongheihu!"

Lu Chuan's eyes flickered. This person seemed to be a disciple of Jiejiao, with superb martial arts skills and the secret technique of the iron-billed eagle.

It's just that he has a very close friendship with Xiqi Jichang.

Later, when Xiqi sent troops to attack Beichong, that is, this time, he arrested his brother Chonghouhu's family and ransacked them all, and became Beibohou himself.

Although Chonghouhu was greedy and the common people hated him deeply, he treated his younger brother well and helped him become a prince all the way.

But Chong Heihu arrested and killed all his own brother's family, which is a bit wolf-hearted.

"Okay, then it's decided."

Di Xin looked at Chonghouhu: "Chonghou, you rush to Beichong to stabilize the situation first, and wait for the lonely army to come to help you quell the chaos."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chonghouhu was so grateful that he left the palace and rushed to Beichong with his 3,000 troops.

Then Di Xin looked at the civilian and military generals in the hall, and said, "Which general is willing to lead the troops to cooperate with Chonghou?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, without speaking.

"Your Majesty, the matter of aiding Bei Bohou..."

Lu Chuan suddenly stood up and said, "I have a plan to offer."

When all the officials heard the words, they all looked at Lu Chuan.

Di Xin said: "Oh, what tricks does Doctor Lu have?"

"Your Majesty, you can divide your troops into two groups. On the one hand, you can send troops to the north to assist Bei Bohou, and on the other hand, you can order your troops to go west to Sishui Pass."

Lu Chuan said: "Marquis Xibo led the army northward, and Xiqi's country was naturally empty and leaderless.

Let the army of Sishuiguan attack Xiqi, Xibohou will definitely withdraw his troops and return to the rear, and the siege of Chongcheng will be solved! "

Sishuiguan is the five passes to the west of Chaoge. Geographically, the outside of Sishuiguan is the boundary of Xiqi.

To put it simply, his strategy is to encircle Wei and save Zhao.

"Wonderful, wonderful, what a strategy of 'surrounding the west and saving the north'!"

Hearing this, before Di Xin said anything, Wen Zhong's eyes lit up first, he looked at Lu Chuan in surprise and joy and asked, "Doctor Lu also knows how to march and fight?"

Hearing the words, Lu Chuan raised his eyes and looked around, and saw that almost everyone in the hall focused on him.

"Ahem, a little understanding, a little understanding!"

Lu Chuan coughed dryly, looking humble.

"Hahaha, that's right, it's indeed a clever plan to attack the west and save the north."

After thinking for a while, Di Xin figured out the beauty of this plan, clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Okay, then follow Dr. Lu's plan."

Shen Gongbao looked calm, but his face also looked radiant.

Then, Emperor Xin ordered Sishuiguan to attack Xiqi, and at the same time selected troops to go north to quell the chaos.

Now that Huang Feihu was not in the court, he chose general Yin Ruibai to go there with 50,000 troops, and Chongcheng's own strength was almost three times that of Xiqi.

It was already very late after the discussions were over.

After the dynasty was dispersed, all officials returned home one after another.

On the deer platform.

"Your Majesty, Doctor Lu is seeking an audience outside."

Di Xin was also hungry after coming down to court, so he was preparing a meal with Daji and Concubine Huang when he suddenly sent an official to report.

"Doctor Lu?"

With a flash in his eyes, Di Xin suddenly got up and walked out of the hall.

"Your Majesty." Lu Chuan saluted.

Di Xin came to the white jade railing of the Lutai, faced the breeze, looked at the night sky with his hands behind his back, and said, "Doctor Lu didn't return home after his court, but came to look for Gu instead. It seems that there must be something important."

"That's right, I have something that I don't understand, and I hope the king will clarify it."

"What is it?"

"Your Majesty should know that when Bei Bohou built the Lutai, he used the opportunity to amass wealth and oppress the people."

Lu Chuan said: "Your Majesty's notoriety outside today is due to Bei Bohou. If he doesn't get rid of the indignation of the common people..."

"Gu knows, but he can't get rid of it."

Di Xin put his hand on the railing, and said: "Back then, the four great princes were all ambitious, so, hehe, they were killed alone.

Now that the east and south wars have started, there has been no peace for many years, and Xiqi is eyeing the tiger. Only the Chonghou tiger is still obedient. If we get rid of it, what will happen to the situation of our Yin Shang? "

"But Xibohou is attacking Beichong now, just to kill Beibohou's civilians and win the hearts of the people."

Lu Chuan said slowly: "My lord, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world."

"Since Ji Chang also wants to kill Chonghou, it depends on whether he has the weight." Di Xin narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

Very confident.

"Ahem, majesty, maybe Xibohou... Well, it really weighs a lot."
