Chapter 197: Gathering the Princes to Conquer the Fortress

Ji Fa woke up at this time, the historical event has arrived, he can't be confused and hesitate anymore, he has been thinking in his heart all the time, the arrival of the crusade against Shang, but he didn't expect that after this day suddenly came, his preparation was still insufficient, and the plan couldn't catch up with the changes.

After a previous failure, he understood that it was time to start.

"I'm going to rise up and complete my mission, it's time to start crusading against the Shang Kingdom." Ji Fa raised his arms and exhaled.

So the prince stepped forward and announced: "The first king Xibo reigned for about fifty years, and he deduced Yi's gossip to sixty-four hexagrams. ”

"The king has an order, and he orders Taigong Wang to be the master, Zhou Gongdan to be the auxiliary minister, and Zhao Gong, Bi Gong and others are to assist the king of Wu."

"Taishi and Shaoshi defected to my Zhou State, Bigan was killed, and Qizi was also imprisoned."

Ji Fa felt that the time should have come, he stood up and said, "King Yin is deeply guilty, and he must be defeated!" ”

Therefore, Ji Fa complied with King Wen's wishes and began to assemble a troop.

Soon, with the help of Taigong, he counted the number of assembled troops.

"Report to the king, gather together three hundred chariots, three thousand warriors, and forty-five thousand armoured warriors."

Ji Fa nodded, it seems that these are all the strength of the Sixth Division of the Eighth Army of Yin, and all of them have been trained and equipped with military uniforms, so that they have enough strength.

Ji Fa shouted: "Crusade to the east against the King of Xu!" ”

Then, on the day of Wuwu, all the troops crossed Mengjin, and when they heard Ji Fa's order, all the kings of the eight vassal states that Ji Fa had traveled before received the news, and after the vigorous propaganda of these eight vassal states, many small states also came to rendezvous.

So in the land of Mengjin, Ji Fa saw such an unprecedented grand occasion, and couldn't help but shout happily: "All the princes and soldiers, including the people under them, should work diligently to cheer up their spirits and not slack off. Single-mindedly accomplish the great cause of crusading against the king of Xu. ”

At this time, Zhou Gongdan assisted, and Taigongwang wrote, so Ji Fa made an oath to crusade against the Shang State according to what he wrote in his heart, and it is said that after being handed down to later generations, it was also written as "The Oath of War".

But that's all for later, Ji Fa is very entangled at the moment, he has to think of where to go, so he casually talks about it.

In front of all the soldiers and princes, he said: "Today's king of Shang actually listened to the woman's words, so that he came to the point of self-destruction, take the etiquette of Zhengle as an example, the world knows that Wang Le is the most serious voice, but the king of Shang is mediocre, and he actually destroys the righteous path of heaven, earth and man, not only alienates his relatives and brothers, but also kills so many people of his relatives, all of this is just used to please women, and according to women's wishes, he made unsightly music and destroyed the music of Yazheng." ”

"Therefore, I Ji found that I have to respectfully carry out the punishment of heaven and earth, and work hard, soldiers, there can be no second battle, let alone a third battle, only after this battle is over, it will be won!"

So in the border of the Zhou State, Ji Fa sorted out a large number of troops, and then used it there as a meeting point, ordered the princes and allies who were willing to follow, all led the troops to be stationed there, and then he gathered all the troops there, and then set up many supply points, in the supply points, also stationed some soldiers, horses, and military vehicles, convenient logistics such as military rations, which can be continuously transported to the front line, and have a certain security guarantee.

Taigongwang feels that this is inappropriate, only a logistics delivery line, it is very vulnerable to attacks by other countries, in case the logistics supply line is cut off, then the future will not be good, as the saying goes, the cunning rabbit has three nests, so the logistics supply delivery line, there must be at least three, and each one, need to put a certain number of soldiers to protect, soldiers follow the supply truck, all the way to the front line, this can not make any mistakes.

Then he thought of a more powerful idea, that is, to move some people to live near the supply line, and use soldiers to help reclaim the wasteland, and then it is more convenient for the soldiers to supply along the way, plus the help of the people, so the logistics supply itself contains supplies, so in this way, there should be no problem in supplying the soldiers of the Zhou State who went to the crusade.

In this way, the troops of the eight vassal states of Yong, Shu, Qiang, Mao, Wei, Peng, Pu, and Yun immediately set off from their own countries and began to rush to the assembly place set up by Ji Fa.

Ji Fa also met some old friends, such as the king of Yongguo, who had lost weight for a while, and this time brought soldiers from all over the country to obey Ji Fa's orders.

The lord of Shu was too familiar with Ji Fa, so he directly asked Ji Fa to be rewarded, saying that he had helped to defeat the king of Zhou, and which territories to seal for him, so Ji Fa took him to arrange it privately.

The king of the Qiang tribe completely admired Ji Fa's kindness, and did not ask for any report, and rushed over with the tribe's warriors, and Ji Fa's tribal warriors all used military uniforms, and their combat effectiveness was enhanced again.

The relationship between the monarch of Mao and Ji Fa has gone one step further, and he basically brought a lot of soldiers and horses at this moment

The leader of the micro-country surrendered to Ji Fa and did not dare to complain otherwise, so he hurriedly brought troops over this time, and this time he also brought a lot of military rations.

After the new lord of Peng Guo saw Ji Fa, he regarded himself as an old friend, and Ji Fa also gave him enough face, not only gave him some food supplies, but also gave some military uniforms, anyway, to enhance the strength of his side.

The king of Pu was the same, he came directly with his soldiers, and Ji Fa arranged a place for him to live and a place to arrange supplies.

The king of Yun State, Ji Fa has not seen it before, this time their king, from the monarch of Pu State, learned that King Wu was going to crusade against Shang Xuan, so he hurriedly brought troops to come, wanting to help Zhou State, although Yun State is not strong, but this time it is also going to go out, and hand over their backs to the allies of these princes, their king personally led his own country, all the soldiers, and quickly rushed to the assembly point set up by Zhou State.

Ji Fa was very happy, and after meeting with him, he directly signed an agreement between the monarch and the minister, and later Yun became a vassal state of Zhou, and their safety was taken care of by Zhou, they only needed to support the soldiers, and the grain and grass were arranged by the Zhou State, but the soldiers must obey the orders of the Zhou State, and no other mistakes were allowed.

"Gather the princes to cut down, and that's how it begins!" Ji Fa said happily.
