Chapter 210: The Great Cause of Cutting Down the Plague (1)
"You brought it on yourself." Ji Fa made a decision in his heart.
Then the merchant army Wen Zhong camp, the Taoist priest directly spat blood, fell to the ground and passed out, Wen Zhong was taken aback, and quickly ordered someone to help the Taoist priest up, and treated and diagnosed him, and the Taoist priest woke up after a long time.
After seeing Wen Zhong, he said ashamedly: "I'm ashamed, I didn't make any merit this time, I only trapped King Xiqi for a while, and then King Xiqi seemed to have the protection of heavenly luck, so I couldn't attack him anymore." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, you've worked hard, when I cast the spell just now, I have already seen that it does have a lot of ties to Ji Fa, maybe it's the destiny of heaven, you can't use this method to hurt Ji Fa, I don't know what will happen to you, Dao Chief? Can you still cast spells? Wen Zhong asked with concern.
"I'm fine, just rest for a while, I can continue to cast spells, this is my ability." The Taoist priest looked at Wen Zhong suspiciously.
In fact, at this moment, the Taoist priest already felt a little ashamed, because he originally swore that he could take Ji Fa's life, but he didn't expect to be unsuccessful, and he vomited a mouthful of blood first, he actually wanted to leave the business camp at this time, but he felt that he had not made any merits this time, and if he left like this, it would be too much of a loss.
"Dao Chief, you just have to stay in peace for a while, I have a request, that is, to take action against the other soldiers of the Zhou camp, although it may not be effective for Ji Fa, but what about others, maybe other people don't have Ji Fa's such precautions, so it will be better. If you can kill the other rewards of Zhou Ying, it can be regarded as a great achievement. Wen Zhong said.
As soon as the Taoist heard that there was still a way to make meritorious achievements, he immediately patted his chest and said: "Poor Dao is willing to give it a try and help Taishi make new contributions, I will keep looking for it these days, and the commanders with weak willpower in the Zhou army, once they find it, they will immediately launch an attack, and they will definitely give their heads as a congratulatory gift to Taishi." ”
"In this case, thank you first, the aisleman, you have worked hard." Then he left the tent of the chief.
He summoned several commanders of the merchant army at the gate and confessed to them: "You must serve this Taoist chief well, eat and drink well, except for not killing people and setting fires, except for the felony of violating etiquette, the rest are allowed." ”
"Master Nuo."
Then Wen Zhong went to inspect the whole camp, he wanted to check the defensive facilities in the commercial camp, how the repair situation was, after being raided by the Zhou army a few days ago, many facilities were damaged, if the Zhou army raided again, there would be no defense, under his supervision, many soldiers were busy these days to start building facilities.
After seeing this scene, he nodded, and then sighed: "I hope that the Dao Commander can have a way to let the Zhou Army Commander lose a few, so that it will be better for my big business." ”
On the other hand, at Ji Fa's invitation, the vassal states in the vicinity of Zhou began to march towards the meeting point on the left and right sides of Zhulu, and they were more than happy to support Ji Fa's actions, as they had said.
"I've long been fed up with the bird's anger of Shang, so the martial king and the master, we are willing to follow, follow you to crusade against the Shang country, when he becomes famous, don't forget our help and hard work."
Ji Fa replied to them like this: "How dare you forget the love of helping each other, how can you be greedy for the merit of helping each other, the other day the Shang country perished, all the countries will be rewarded for their merits, and the princes will be divided." ”
Then Ji issued this royal order, the vassal states were overjoyed after learning about it, and they raised troops to obey his order, under his arrangement, all rushed to the designated place, and his royal order was referred to as the "feudal order" by everyone, so many princes raised the banner of the rebel soldiers, and took refuge in the name of the Zhou State, and then openly tore the face of the Shang State, completely cut off the contact with them, and no longer paid tribute to the Shang State, so that these vassal states were out of the jurisdiction of the Shang State in the future.
The news spread to the Song City of the Shang Kingdom, and the king of Xuan was furious and scolded these betrayed vassal states, and then let all the ministers go down to the court, and went back to the palace alone to sulk, and the ministers did not dare to say a word, and some of them were much happier in their hearts after learning about this, and some of them were as if they had not happened.
And some ministers have begun to secretly contact Zhou and sell some news of Shang Guo, in exchange for Zhou Guo's trust and leave a way for their future life.
All of this was secretly carried out in secret from the King of Zhou, and Daji learned about the recent events, pretending not to know, so he covered up these things, just coaxing the King of Zhou, don't think about these troubles, only shirk that Wen Zhong is leading the troops outside, and there is the support of the Taishi, and the Shang State is extremely powerful, and the soldiers are strong and strong, and they will not look at these vassal states at all.
"Oh, don't think about these things, the dignified master is outside, and cleaning up these barbarian small countries is a matter of hand-to-hand capture, just relax and wait for the news of the triumphant return of the princess." Daji persuaded the king.
At the same time, he asked the people of the Dongyi tribe to immediately pay tribute to the grain, otherwise he would send the Praetorian Guards to attack Dongyi and let them think about the fate for themselves.
What did Ji Fa do for the war? Many supplies have begun to be transported, and there are Zhou soldiers along the way to protect them, so there is no need to worry about the soldiers being robbed, or worrying that these soldiers will not be able to reach the Zhou army camp in time, because whether it is under the personnel arrangement or in the actual situation, these Zhou soldiers who escorted the soldiers and rations were all very smooth along the way, and unimpeded, and supported the Zhou army continuously.
At the same time, within the Zhou State, after hearing about this just war, many people of the Zhou State voluntarily cut down on food and clothing, and all the food they saved was supported to the front line.
Of course, it is not really exempt from conscription and taxes, nor is it exempt from paying some grain casually.
Rather, according to the amount of payment, and the quality of the payment of grain, it is realistic to seek truth from facts, and the number of days of labor that are exempted, or the reduction or exemption of taxes, everything is calculated according to reality, so that it is even more fair and just.
All this began to be carried out throughout the Zhou State, and at the same time, the morale of the people in the Zhou State was further strengthened.
"Hmph, the road to cutting has just begun." Ji Fa thought so in his heart.
Then Ji Fa immediately summoned all the soldiers and military commanders, and began to think about the next battle plan against the Shang State, at this time, the Taoist priest began to cast spells again, this time from his Gu, a lot of black qi emerged, these black qi immediately came out of the Gu, and then immediately dispersed into the Zhou camp.
At this time, the Taoist chief, closed his eyes and pinched the trick with one hand, and pinched the trick with the other hand, and there were words in his mouth, at the same time he frowned, he was in the camp of the Zhou army, following the generals of the Zhou army who could invade, and began to search in circles, where the commander of the soldiers was weaker, or from which person, it would be better, he was very nervous, because it was related to his future, and the future money, and even whether he could eat enough, he had been practicing the Tao for decades, is to be able to show his skills today, in exchange for fame and fortune, so that nothing will be empty, he attaches great importance to it, because he knows that promotion and fortune are in these few days.
"Generals, what do you think of the current situation?" Ji Fa asked the general in the account in front of him.
Nezha said directly: "Just listen to the eldest brother, what do you say, what do you say, what do you ask me to do, I will do it." ”
"Ahem... It should be called the king. Li Aaron said on the side.
Nezha scratched his head embarrassedly, and only then did he realize that it seemed that everyone called the king here, and only he called the eldest brother.
"Big brother... King, we will do whatever you ask me to do, and we will fight wherever you let us go. Nezha continued.
"Oh, it's okay, it's just a name, Brother Nezha, what do you want to call me, you can call me, it's not in the way." Ji Fa said with a smile.
At this time, Li Along patted his head helplessly, thinking to himself, why is Nezha so difficult to teach? has always been called a big brother and brother, and forgot the etiquette between monarchs and ministers.
Ji Fa doesn't care, Nezha is quite simple, he says anything directly, and he never hides it, so he has always been very relieved about Nezha, plus Nezha obeys his orders, plus treats himself, he has always treated himself like his eldest brother, so he feels that Nezha is not only strong in martial arts, but also very easy to use, so he doesn't care about these false courtesies, some people are loyal not for anything else, look at some people's loyalty, nor are these false courtesies, but whether they can do practical things, Can you obey military orders on the battlefield?
"These are the most fundamental, as for the rest, it doesn't matter at all, I'd rather not follow the false etiquette of the battlefield real people, than just the false etiquette of the battlefield mutineer." Ji Fa thought so in his heart.
"Okay, in the camp in the future, it is specially approved that Nezha does not need to open his mouth to call me eldest brother. Okay, commanders of soldiers, let's think about some good strategies to break the merchant army. ”
Last night Ji Fa stared at the map, and found that the current situation was much better than before, before the merchant army came to attack, recently the Zhou army repeatedly pierced the sharp spirit of the merchant army, and avoided its edge, and now the Zhou army and the merchant army began to confront, for a while, no one has been able to do anyone, and no one can break this deadlock, so Ji Fa has also made difficulties for a while, I haven't seen this kind of situation, isn't it said that the war is a horse Pingchuan? Why is this in the middle?
"It seems that the situation has changed, and the situation has changed, so it seems that the difficulty has increased again, and we have to find a way to succeed." Ji Fa thought so.
On the other hand, the Shang State used the power of the whole country to order the soldiers who transported grain in the country to start looting the grain of the people, and asked the people of the Shang State to hand over the grain for the use of the front line, and for a time the people of the Shang State were dissatisfied to the extreme.
At the same time, all the other vassal states began to cut off contact with the Shang State, and all stopped paying tribute to the Shang State, as for the grain requested by the Shang State, all of these vassal states did not accept it, and kicked out the envoys of the Shang State one after another, preventing them from coming here again, and all the envoys of the Shang State left in disgrace, and then these vassal states immediately began to transport the military rations to the territory of the Zhou State, or directly to the Zhou army camp.
"In this way, even if it is a great cause of cutting, it must be completed." Ji Fa made up his mind in his heart.
