After hearing that the Grand Master went out to fight, the Yin and Shang armies fought and won consecutively.

In less than half a year, King Ping Ling and other rebellious princes were all put down.

King Zhou was still a little disappointed when he heard that the Taishi’s class had returned to the court.

During the period when he heard that Taishi was away, King Zhou could not indulge in pleasure as before. But after all, there is no sword hanging over the head, and there are still many possessions.

As soon as Taishi Wen came back, King Zhou’s only freedom was gone.

On the day when Wen Zhong’s squadron returned to the court, King Zhou held a banquet in the Chaoge Palace to entertain the generals who had returned triumphantly.

It wasn’t until late at night that everyone dispersed.

Although King Zhou was in a happy mood when he returned to Shouxian Palace, hearing that the Grand Master was back made him very uncomfortable.

Seeing King Zhou lying on the couch without saying a word, Daji asked with understanding:”The king has not said a word since he came back. Is it because he was worried about hearing about the grand master?”

King Zhou sighed when he heard this:”I have been here since I was a child. He studied under Taishi Wen, and later the king gave the important task of entrusting Gu Gu to Taishi Wen. With him at court, Gu could not enjoy himself in the harem with his beloved concubine as before.”

Daji had long known that Wen Zhong was at court. Seriously, I was extremely surprised when I heard what King Zhou said today.

Shang Rong, Bigan, Du Yuanxian, Mei Bo and others, King Zhou did not kill whoever he wanted. But it is really incredible that he is so afraid of Master Wen.

However, when she thought of Master Wen’s identity, Daji felt relieved.

After all, Wen Zhong is a member of Xuanmen and is proficient in Taoist cultivation.

It is understandable that King Zhou was in awe of him.

At this time, Daji said to King Zhou:”Your Majesty, now that Xiqi’s troops and horses are strong, the threat to the court is increasing day by day. Since I heard that the grand master has returned to the court, why not order him to conquer Xiqi and put an end to this disaster as soon as possible?”

Daji said so As soon as he said this, King Zhou stood up immediately, walked back and forth and thought carefully.

Suddenly, King Zhou clapped his hands and cheered loudly:”My beloved concubine’s words are true. The disaster in Xiqi is much greater than that of King Pingling. There is also that old man Jiang Ziya here, so we have to guard against it!””

“Tomorrow morning, I will tell Master Wen about the conquest of Xiqi.”King Zhou said to Daji. The reason for conquering Xiqi was not only because King Zhou didn’t want to hear that the grand master was in court. More importantly, Xiqi posed a great threat to the Yin and Shang court, far greater than the threat to other vassal states. Much more.

When Daji heard what King Zhou said, she immediately smiled.

The next day, she went to court early. After all the ministers paid homage to Queen Zhou, King Zhou put the conquest of Xiqi on the agenda.

“Xiqi Jifa’s son appointed Jiang Shang, an old man, and repeatedly opposed the Yin Shang Dynasty. Among the eight hundred princes in the world, the strength of the Western Zhou Dynasty is the highest among all princes, and it poses a serious threat to our great merchants~.”

“When Ji Chang was in power, Xiqi’s soldiers and horses secretly sent out troops to attack Beibo Hou Chonghou Hu without getting the imperial edict.”

“After Ji Fa ascended the throne, he admitted Huang Feihu, the criminal minister of our court, without authorization. It is really intolerable to regard the imperial court as nothing.”

Having said this, King Zhou looked at Wen Zhong and said:”Grand Master, the threat from Xiqi is really a trouble for our Yin Shang family. I wonder if Grand Master has a plan?”

Wen Zhong has already learned about Jiang Ziya and Xiqi in detail.

The more he knows, the more Wen Zhong values Jiang Ziya.

But now there are still things in the court that need Wen Zhong to deal with, and he really can’t get away from it. Now King Zhou To conquer Xiqi, Wen Zhong couldn’t object.

What’s more, Wen Zhong himself advocated conquering Xiqi, but the time was not yet ripe.

When King Zhou wanted to use troops against Xiqi, Wen Zhong thought for a while and stood up. He cupped his hands and said,”Your Majesty, we are going to conquer Xiqi. I have recommended someone who can be the general of the expedition to the west.””

“Oh, I wonder who the grand master recommends?”King Zhou was slightly surprised. It was not Grand Master Wen who took the initiative to request the expedition.

Wen Zhonggong cupped his hands and said:”Zhang Guifang, the commander-in-chief of Qinglong Pass, is skilled in bow and horse and martial arts. He is good at military strategy and is also good at Taoism. He can be the Generalissimo of the Western Conquest, and he will definitely be able to defeat Jiang Ziya.”

King Zhou also heard about Zhang Guifang. When he heard that the Grand Master recommended him as the Grand Marshal of the Western Conquest, King Zhou agreed. He immediately said:”In that case, let me pass the decree and appoint Zhang Guifang as the Grand Marshal of the Western Conquest. With 300,000 soldiers, Xiqi will be wiped out.”

Zhang Guifang, who was at Qinglong Pass, received the imperial order and immediately organized his troops and led the Shenwei General Qiu Yin. First, the officer surnamed Feng Lin and other generals joined the imperial troops and marched towards Xiqi City. When he first arrived in Xiqi

, he left the city. Set up camp five miles away. Set up a treasure tent and pay a visit first. Zhang Guifang chose to stand still.

Seeing that the commander was standing still, Feng Lin couldn’t help but asked:”Marshal, the morale of our army is high, and it’s not like the soldiers are not tired after a long journey, why don’t you just go all out?” After taking Xiqi, why are you waiting here?

Zhang Guifang smiled when he heard this and said,”That Jiang Ziya is full of tricks and has Yuxu Taoism.” Chonghou Hu was killed because he fell into his trick. We must be careful when we come here!”

In fact, before coming, Grand Master Wen also repeatedly told Zhang Guifang to be careful with Jiang Ziya. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Wen Zhong even emphasized to him at one time that he could delay as much time as possible to wait for him. When I heard that Grand Master Wen personally went on an expedition,

Zhang Guifang felt that Grand Master Wen was making a fuss out of a molehill and why he should be so careful with Jiang Ziya.

However, after arriving outside Xiqi City and seeing the orderly appearance of the Zhou army, Zhang Guifang couldn’t help but become cautious.

Expert 1 Take action and you will know if there is any.

Just from his large army, we can see that Jiang Ziya’s military strategy is unusual, so he is so cautious.[]

“.You can first order your scouts to find out information about Xiqi’s army before making any calculations!”

The Shang army is resting for the time being and will not show it for the time being.

On the other side, Jiang Ziya was fully prepared after knowing that the Shang army was marching to the west. In the palace,

Ji Fa, Jiang Ziya, San Yisheng, Nangong Shi and other civil and military officials gathered together. Therefore, we discussed how to deal with the merchant army’s western expedition.

“Zhang Guifang has been stationed five miles away. Although it is a large-scale attack, judging from its posture, it is likely that troops will be mobilized in the next few days. We don’t have much time.”

General Nangong Shi told everyone about the intelligence of the Shang army.

After hearing this, all the civil and military officials were worried. Even King Wu Jifa, although he had confidence in Jiang Ziya, was inevitably intimidated by the power of the court.

Xiqi would eventually be frightened. It was just a small place, but it was difficult to fight against the entire imperial court.

Looking at Jiang Ziya who was still at ease, Ji Fa asked him:”My dear father, the imperial court has mobilized an army of 300,000 people at once. This is a crisis that I have never encountered before. How to get through it depends on Mr. Lao’s decision.”

Everyone also looked at Jiang Ziya, waiting for Jiang Ziya to make up his mind.

Jiang Ziya said:”A small Zhang Guifang is not enough to support him. Even if he has an army of 300,000, I can still handle it.”

“After all, the national power of the Yin and Shang Dynasties was higher than that of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there were countless people who could conquer the war. There are also many people from the immortal family or other cultivators.”

“This battle is just the beginning, the real difficulty is still in the factory behind.”

Jiang Ziya said quietly, and everyone was shocked when they heard it.

They didn’t see as much as Jiang Ziya, so they didn’t know this. They thought that the only enemies of the Western Zhou Dynasty were the Yin and Shang court and King Zhou, and completely ignored those who practiced Taoism.

To Jiang Ziya Generally speaking, those monks who know Taoism are the most difficult to deal with.

And this is just the beginning, there will definitely be more powerful people coming later.
