Fengshen Wendaoxing

When Lu Chuan returned to Chaoge, the defeated Xiqi army was still on its way back to Xiqi.

Although they withdrew from the east side left by Lu Chuan, their base camp, Xiqi, was on the west side. If they went all the way east, they would only reach the territory of Donglu.

Therefore, they can only walk a certain distance, and then take a detour to Xiqi.

To say that this time the army was defeated, Ji Chang was the one who suffered the most.

In recent years, Emperor Xinjiao was extravagant and licentious, ignoring the government, building deer towers, making artillery, and digging pots, which made the people complain and the people complained.

Many people from the great merchants escaped from Chaoge and came to Xiqi, Nan'e, Donglu and other countries to settle down and become their subjects.

What measures the strength of the princes along the way is the strength of troops and the population of the city.

The largest and most populous city in the world today is naturally Chaoge, the capital of the kingdom. Apart from Chaoge, it is the four cities of Donglu, Xiqi, Nanhu and Beichong.

This is why they became the four princes of the world.

In addition, the two sides in the southeast have been fighting with the Yin and Shang for many years. It is said that the two sides have hurt each other, and the population and strength of Xiqi, which has been secretly developed by recruiting troops, has firmly secured its position as the head of the four major vassal states.

His heart became restless.

Also, his judgment on the current situation in the world is that Di Xin took his own life, exhausting the last breath of Yin Shang, and now the situation is over.

So he, who had been reticent for many years, coincided with Jiang Ziya's suggestion this time, attacking Beichong and killing Chonghouhu, in addition to increasing his popularity, it was also a test of the reaction of the big merchants.

He is ninety-seven years old this year. Although he has already lived an extremely long life among the human race, he is a mortal after all, neither a Qi refiner nor a warrior, and his lifespan is coming to an end.

He was afraid that if he didn't do it again, he would have no chance in this life.

So he mobilized a hundred thousand troops, unfurled the banners of "Punish the treacherous ministers and clear the emperor's side" and "the righteousness of the world", and swaggered all the way through the market to attract the attention of the world.

This is his first step towards the throne. As long as he succeeds, he will definitely gain popularity and support, and the next step is to attack Yin Shang.

When they arrived in Beichong, they first fought with Chong Yingbiao and beheaded several generals in Beichong. After winning several victories, they conspired with Chong Heihu to make a plan to kill Chonghouhu.

It all went very well.

But he didn't understand, didn't understand, didn't understand, why everything changed suddenly.

He didn't know from which direction Yin Shang threw three stones and hit his protruding feet hard.

pain!

In just one night, the 100,000 Xiqi army he brought had lost more than 20,000. Although it wasn't too bad, it really hurt too much.

Coupled with the fact that Lu Chuan played too hard with one hand and directly burned their food and grass, so the return journey of their 70,000 people became more difficult and bumpy.

In addition, after the defeat, they also became a laughing stock. How ostentatious they were when they went there, they are so ridiculous now.

When Ji Chang passed through some cities, he asked some princes he knew before to borrow food, but no one was willing to borrow.

In just half a month, Ji Chang lost a lot of weight.

Finally got sick.

In the big tent.

Ji Chang was lying on the couch, his face was pale, his lips were chapped, bloodless, and very weak.

"Prime Minister, how is your lord?"

Nangongshi and others gathered around the bed, watched Jiang Ziya give Ji Chang a pulse and asked anxiously.

Jiang Ziya glanced at Ji Chang.

Ji Chang was also watching him, but his eyes were sunken in their sockets at this moment, and they were a little cloudy.

"It's okay!"

Jiang Ziya suddenly smiled and said, "My lord is just a little overworked from the long journey, so I just invite some generals to go out and hunt some wild game and come back to make up for my lord."

"It turned out to be like this, luckily!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words, and rushed out of the tent to hunt.

As soon as everyone left the big tent, only Jiang Ziya, Nan Gongshi and Ji Chang on the sick bed were left.

Ji Chang suddenly said: "General Nangong, go out and see how far we are from Xiqi."

"yes!"

Nangong was startled slightly, turned around and retreated.

"Prime Minister, is this Marquis's lifespan about to expire?" Ji Chang said.

"Where did my lord say that?"

Jiang Ziya said with a look of astonishment: "The minister has already calculated, the lord will live a hundred years, and there are still three years left!"

"Prime Minister, you don't have to hide it from me. Don't forget that this Marquis is also proficient in innate numbers and secrets."

Ji Chang shook his head and murmured: "Not long ago, Ben Hou calculated that I only have one year of life left."

The smile on Jiang Ziya's face disappeared.

In ancient times, King Fuxi observed the heaven, earth, mountains, rivers and all things, and created the innate gossip.

Ji Changnai was a born god and man, born with four breasts. He was extremely intelligent and proficient in congenital numbers. Later, during the seven years he was trapped in Yuli by Emperor Xin, he even deduced the innate gossip into the postnatal eight, eight and sixty-four hexagrams.

When it comes to easy calculations, Jiang Ziya dare not say that he is better than Ji Chang.

"My lord, I'm sorry for you this time. I persuaded my lord to send troops but failed to help my lord kill Chonghou. I'm guilty!"

"No, it's not the prime minister's fault, it's also because the Marquis failed to calm down this time."

Ji Chang shook his head. His long-cherished wish in his life was to be the world. How could he not fight when he knew that he only had one year to live and the power of Yin and Shang was exhausted?

Therefore, when Jiang Ziya proposed to fight Beichong, he hit it off when he killed Chonghouhu, but he didn't expect to fail in the end.

Hearing this, Jiang Ziya sighed complicatedly.

Lu Chuan!

"Now it seems that the two boys from the E family and the Jiang family are smart people!"

Ji Chang smiled wryly: "You are young after all, you have a lot of time to hold your breath, heh, Xiqi and Fa'er have rivals."

"My lord means..."

Jiang Ziya was surprised when he heard this.

"Anyway, Donglu and Nan'e are also one of the four majestic vassal states, with strong strength, many soldiers, and a large number of generals. How can they be compared with a small pass?"

In Ji Chang's cloudy eyes, there was a gleam of wisdom at this moment: "If they really want to do something, Eshun may not be able to win the Sanshan Pass, but at least Jiang Wenhuan can take the Wandering Soul Pass."

"Could it be that they are also preserving their strength?"

Jiang Ziya was shocked.

"Still waiting for someone to find the way for them."

Ji Chang nodded and sighed: "It's a pity that I don't have time, otherwise I can hold my breath, how could I have suffered this defeat?"

"It's so powerful. Everyone in the world knows that Dong Bohou has been attacking Youhun Pass for seven years, losing troops and generals."

Jiang Ziya smiled wryly and said: "Nan Bohou was beaten up and down by Deng Jiugong several times. Now it seems that all the talents in the world have been deceived by them."

"Is it true that the east can't be attacked for a long time, and the troops will be lost? Hehe, it's not necessarily the case, and the south is almost the same. Alas, it's not a fuel-efficient lamp!"

Ji Chang smiled wryly and looked at Jiang Ziya: "This Marquis doesn't have a few days left, but at this moment, Ben Hou can't die, otherwise the morale of the army will be disturbed.

Prime Minister, you have a high level of Taoism, and now Benhou just asks you if there is any way for me to make it to Xiqi? "

Jiang Ziya came to the front of the collapse, and said solemnly: "I will do my best to use what I have learned to help the lord survive."

…

…

Chaoge.

Lu Chuan didn't know that his trip to Beichong had made the ambitious Xibohou suspicious of his life. At this time, he just wanted to go back to his home first.

Boom!

When Lu Chuan and the guards were about to enter the mansion respectively, they suddenly heard the sound of a gong in the distance.

Lu Chuan and the crowd looked sideways, and saw a group of people in the distance separated from the crowd, holding flags and beating gongs and drums, coming here.

"what's the situation?"

Lu Chuan, Wei Shang and the others looked at each other, as if they were from the palace.

"It's Manager Wang." Wei Shang said.

Just as he was speaking, the team of people came to the front.

"Doctor Lu!"

Lu Chuan, who was the leader, knew that he was the chief steward of the palace. At this time, he smiled and said, "Please get on the chariot!"

"Um?"

Lu Chuan raised his eyebrows.

"Dr. Lu's envoy to Beichong this time, cleverly deployed a clever plan to defeat the rebels in Xiqi, the king's heart is very happy."

Wang Qing said with a smile: "As soon as I heard that Your Excellency is coming back today, I immediately held a banquet in the palace and summoned all the officials to celebrate Your Excellency!"

"How did Your Majesty know that I'm back?"

Lu Chuan was taken aback, he had already sent a memorial to Di Xin half a month ago after he resolved the matter of Bei Chong, saying that he would not be able to return until he had attended Chong Yingbiao's funeral.

On the way back, he was still thinking about the two boxes, so he came very low-key.
