Taigongwang was indignant: "It's really angry and resentful, the king of Wudao has reached such a point, it's outrageous!" ”

Ji Fa said: "The lonely king is sad, very sad, will the people of the world be like this?" It was really unfortunate that his name was engraved on the worship card of the virtuous minister, and they were sacrificed together in the future. ”

He thought to himself: "Hey, in history, these ministers of the king are miserable enough, one was burned, the other was executed and his heart was gouged out, and there is such a person who has been imprisoned for many years, it is indeed unfortunate, and they are all foolish and loyal ministers, it is really sad and pitiful." ”

Taigongwang and the ministers knelt on the ground: "The king is virtuous, and the Great Zhou will be strong." ”

Ji Fa suddenly became arrogant: "From tomorrow, my Great Zhou soldiers will unite with 800 princes to meet the alliance in Mengjin and crusade against Shang. ”

The ministers bowed down and said, "Honor the will of the king." ”

At this moment, Ji Fa's face showed a smile that was not noticed.

However, after he said this, he regretted it, he thought to himself: "Oh, why did I suddenly say these words when my brain was hot, the history of the war is still two years later, at this time, rashly sending troops, it will definitely be defeated, and so on There is still a chance to make up for it, I think about it... I want to go down. ”

Ji Fa vaguely remembered that King Wu of Zhou in history did have today's behavior in the court, although he ran into it by mistake, but it was a good thing, at least it was not a disturbance of time and space.

"It seems that we have to find an excuse to give up halfway, so that we can withdraw the troops, and the troops must be sent out, but we can return halfway."

Following this line of thought, Ji Fa quickly had an idea.

On the second day, the temple of virtue was raised.

Taigongwang stood up and read out: "The king has an order, crusade against the king of Wudao, raise the army of Xiqi, and march to Chaoge City." ”

The ministers knelt down and shouted: "The king is virtuous, save the suffering of the people of Li, and the ministers are willing to assist the king and send troops from Xiqi to crusade against Shang." ”

"Please wish Zhou Gong divination."

At the end of the Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty at this time, when encountering major events, most of them have to divination, legend has it that Fuxi created one hundred and twenty-eight hexagrams, but by the end of the Shang Dynasty has been lost a part, and Zhou Gong as easy to learn talents, deduced the eight eight sixty-four hexagrams, although Taigong hopes to have the talent of the military country, but when it comes to divination, Zhou Gong is still more proficient, so King Wen set up the post of Wu Zhu, and Zhou Gong concurrently served as this position after King Wu succeeded to the throne.

Wu Zhu, in ancient times, called the ghosts and gods as witches, and the priest praised the words as blessings. Later generations are used to refer to those who are used for divination and sacrifice.

I saw that Zhou Gong ordered people to set up a small tripod on the Xiande Palace, set up a fire in the Ding cauldron, and then put a raw tortoise shell on the fire.

After Ji Fa saw it, he thought: "Tut Tut is professional enough, look at the professionalism of people's divination, it is a full set, and then look at the fortune tellers of my time, it costs a lot of money at every turn, and the posture is also varied, and most of them are cheating money, there is nothing at all, or it is to fool people, see people talk about people, hey divination still has to be professional, but it is estimated that this craft is now lost, and it is also that the ancient dynasties have listed these as the highest secrets, no less than other high secrets now, All of them are not passed on secrets, so that the time has been long, and slowly it has not been passed on from the world, which has to be said to be a pity, it can also be said to be a loss, although this kind of thing can not be fully believed, but this era is used by dynasties, there must be some truth and use, but this is all a later story. ”

After a while, Ji Fa heard the sound of "crackling" from the ding, and thought that it should be about the same, but this tortoise shell is enough to withstand burning, and it has not turned black after burning for so long.

Zhou Gong ordered someone to extinguish the fire in the ding, and then took out the tortoise shell with a bronze clamp stick and put it on the tripod, Ji Fa saw that on the tortoise shell, there was a trace of cracks, these cracks were divided into several, from top to bottom distribution was different, and then he took out the copper coin from his sleeve, and the next person handed the incense, he drank back and forth on the incense with both hands several times, closed his eyes and held the copper coin and was silent for a while.

Ji Fa was puzzled and thought, "Is this going to dance the magic stick?" Or is there some special meaning? ”

Taigong Wang saw Ji Fa's puzzlement beside him, and explained: "King, according to the ritual witch blessing, you need to personally divinate the tortoise shell, before Zhou Gong had fasted and bathed for three days to show his sincerity, and now he is burning incense and purifying his hands, and he has begun to divinate and ask about state affairs." ”

Although Ji Fa was confused, he still nodded, because he didn't want Taigong to look at him like a fool.

Zhou Gong looked at the tortoise shell for a while, as well as the pros and cons of the copper coin, pinched his fingers and read for a while, and ran to Ji Fa with great joy: "Congratulations to the king, although the tortoise shell has a haze at the beginning, it will definitely defeat the enemy in the end." ”

Ji Fa saw that the time was almost up, and just wanted to say yes, but then he thought: "No, if I say that, then how can I defeat the country?" The previous few defeats were all too simple for me to think, but this time I have the heart to defeat the country. ”

He said in a deep voice: "This meeting of the eight hundred princes of the alliance is just a drill to review the soldiers, to strengthen the military might, to show the strength of our Great Zhou, as for the crusade against the merchants, depending on the strength of the soldiers of various countries, and then discuss this important matter." ”

The ministers were stunned, Zhou Gong and Taigong Wang touched their beards and thought for a while, Taigong Wang's eyes lit up, and he instantly led the ministers to kneel and worship.

"The king judged the situation and should be so cautious, it is a matter of the safety of the people, and the ministers obey the king's orders."

After the ministers dispersed, Duke Zhou and some ministers grabbed Taigongwang.

"Oh, why don't you persuade the king, it's a matter of the country, such a big matter, the king suddenly decided, is there something wrong, not to mention the use of troops against the court, the soldiers of the Shang country are very strong,"

Zhou Gong smiled and said nothing, quietly watching Taigong Wang and the ministers explain.

Taigong Wang smiled: "You don't know, this is where the great king's virtue lies, have you ever thought that Bigan is a generation of good ministers and loyal ministers,"

The ministers suddenly realized.

"Oh, I see, the king really has insight into the affairs of all things, and his eyes are like thunder and lightning, and all the little people dare not act recklessly."

Taigongwang smiled and said, "Who asked me to persuade the king just now?" He would go on his own if he wanted to. ”

"Hahaha." The ministers were overjoyed and left.

After everyone left, Ji Fa quietly walked out of the apse again, and he couldn't smile bitterly.

"I used to cry and laugh, but now I can't smile bitterly, I don't mean that, I just want to lose the country, earn the value of defeating the country, it's so difficult for me to lose the country, no, I have to compete today."

Ji Fa made up his mind, returned to his room, and walked around thinking about it.

"According to historical records, after arriving in Mengjin tomorrow, there will definitely be a vision, and then I will use the excuse that this is the mandate of heaven to lead the ministers of the army to return to Xiqi.

He nodded, feeling that it was a brilliant idea.

Suddenly, he felt discomfort in his lungs for a while, and then he coughed uncontrollably.

"Ahem, ahem, it's starting again, hey, this body is so bad."

Ji Fa's eyes were full of gold stars, and after a while, he calmed down, and he leaned back on the bed and thought very uncomfortably.

"I have been in the pharmacy of this dynasty, most of them are medicinal stones, or moxibustion, the treatment of diseases is too slow, and there are no medical treatment facilities at all, and the sanitary conditions are also very poor, not to mention the treatment of my body's stubborn diseases, even ordinary diseases in this era, can kill people, the general life expectancy of people in this dynasty is low, one of them has this reason."

"I... I want to live, I can only lose the country, and the system blesses me to succeed tomorrow! ”

Early in the morning.

Taigongwang tied a white silk scarf around his arm, and raised a flag on the review platform and shouted: "The king is virtuous and virtuous and cares about the people, and this time the army is for the common people in the world, not for his own selfish interests.

After the sound of the horn sounded, the three animals were killed and sacrificed to the sky, and the ancients believed that the three animals could convey their hearts to the sky, and the lower animals could carry virtue on the ground, which was a very solemn etiquette.

After receiving the summons of Taigongwang, the eight hundred princes traveled a long way and led the soldiers to come in the starry night.

At this time, Ji Fa came to the review table leisurely.

He remembered this history, so he opened his mouth: "Heaven and earth have a fate, virtue and kindness are in the Quartet, and now there is no way to business, and the people have the pain of hanging upside down, in order to save the people of Li and march to Chaoge!" ”

Eight hundred princes worshipped one after another: "Nuo is ordered by the king." ”

In fact, eight hundred princes have been gathering spontaneously and continuously from all directions since this morning.

Taigong looked serious: "Gather your soldiers, and all those who are backward will be killed." ”

"Yes." Eight hundred princes set out with their soldiers towards Mengjin.

Ji Fa sat on his own line, and he thought to himself, "Yes, at this speed, I will be able to come back later." ”

The reason why he is so confident is because what has happened in history is exactly the same as what is about to happen now.

After a while, he went down and found that his palace had been built by the river in the land of Mengjin.

When the subordinates were building the next palace, Ji Fa walked up to them, and all the subordinates knelt down one after another.

Ji Fa persuaded: "Don't build a palace, it's too wasteful, and it's not as comfortable as a grass hut, you get up and get busy." ”

He thought to himself, "I'm telling the truth, this ancient palace was built, and it is better to live in this bed than to lie in a straw hut that is soft and comfortable." ”

Then Ji Fa got on the boat, with a wicked smile.

The subordinates publicized this matter ten or ten hundred times, and finally came to a conclusion.

"The king is really sympathetic to all the people, diligent and thrifty, and is not willing to waste the people's power to build a luxurious dormitory, and he would rather sleep in a straw hut."

The subordinates looked at Ji Fa's back and felt that he was getting taller and taller, and they respected and worshiped the king more and more in their hearts.

The king's boat that Ji Fa was riding set sail from the river, and then headed for the land of Mengjin on the other side of the river.

While the ship was moving, a large whirlpool suddenly appeared, and the ministers were so frightened that they all clung to the ship's items to prevent themselves from churning vigorously on the deck of the ship because of the whirlpool.

Taigong Wang was shocked: "Go and protect the king." ”

Ji Fa unhurriedly drew his sword and walked to the deck of the ship, he thought silently in his heart.

"Three, two, one, okay, the fish jump up."

As soon as the ship turned its rudder around the whirlpool, the water surface continued to set off waves, a group of fish were frightened by the boat, and jumped up one after another, just a white fish jumped onto the boat, and was falling in front of Ji Fa, the ministers saw this vision, their hearts were very flustered, suddenly the hull of the ship came into contact with the whirlpool, shook violently, the wind and waves continued to hit the deck, and some ministers desperately hugged the mast, lest they fall from the ship.

Say it's too late, then it's too fast.

Ji Fa grabbed the white fish and raised it above his head, drew out his sword and cut the white fish in half directly in the air, shouting: "Destiny is like this, return to the boat and dock." ”

Taigongwang anxiously shouted: "The king has an order, turn the bow of the boat." ”

The king's ship gradually sailed away from the whirlpool, the hull was no longer so bumpy, and the ministers gradually quieted down, and the ministers all breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Fa thought to himself: "Don't worry, there is another one, I didn't expect Taishi Gongcheng not to deceive me, there is really such a thing, hehe, if this is the case, then my defeat will be a drama." ”

Just when the king's ship was about to dock, a fire suddenly fell from the sky, and the ministers were so frightened that they retreated to the back of the ship.

The fire burned brightly, and landed in a palace that the minister had built for King Wu at the beginning, and then began to circle around this palace continuously, and finally turned into a crow, which was red all over, and its cry was so miserable that it sounded like it was about to take the soul of a person.

In the hearts of the ministers, they were very depressed, so many strange things happened today, and everyone didn't know what to do for a while.

Ji Fa was very happy in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be calm and did not show it, but pretended to be deep and majestic and said: "The destiny is like this, the time has not yet come, let's go back separately." ”

The princes also witnessed all this on their own ships, and they were all scared half to death just now.

They said, "This is a sign from heaven, and we should obey it." ”

The ministers looked at each other and acquiesced to this fact.

Taigongwang announced: "The princes will retire their troops and return to the country to recuperate and recuperate." ”

"No."

So the eight hundred princes went back with their own soldiers

Lan Ling's voice rang out in Ji Fa's mind.

[The army returns in vain and loses +1]

Ji Fa was ecstatic in his heart, he thought to himself: "Great, hahaha, my defeat is worth it!" ”

"Congratulations to the master, I got +1 defeat value, keep up the good work." Lan Ling said with a smile.

On the Hall of Virtue, suddenly a soldier hurriedly ran in, knelt down and said, "Report to the king, the king of Chaoge has imprisoned the son." ”

"What!" Taigong was shocked.
