Then, the old man left with Ji Chang and his party. After some conversation, Ji Chang knew the name of the old man in front of him - Jiang Ziya, yes, this old man is Jiang Ziya. Jiang Ziya spent dozens of days finally getting Ji Chang to successfully invite him and join Xiqi's camp.

In the next period of time, Jiang Ziya was in Xiqi and was familiar with various things, and all the ministers in Xiqi also knew that Ji Chang had found a great sage and gave him advice. At first, the ministers were unconvinced, why did Jiang Ziya's appearance override them, but as Jiang Ziya's identity was revealed and the ministers revealed their opinions on Jiang Ziya, their opinions on Jiang Ziya gradually became much smaller.

Just kidding, as a disciple of a saint, if he doesn't have any real skills, how can he be accepted as a disciple by a saint? And although Jiang Ziya's qualifications are not too high, his wisdom is not low at all, and it can even be said that he is far beyond ordinary people. also has the teachings of the saint, Jiang Ziya can say a thing or two whether it is the arrangement of troops or the way of being an official.

With these insights and wisdom, Jiang Ziya is also more and more trusted by Ji Chang. Ji Chang invited Jiang Ziya back before, but if Jiang Ziya really didn't have any real skills, then I'm afraid Ji Chang would also drive him out, instead of keeping him by his side.

As the saying goes, as an emperor, everyone is ruthless, although Ji Chang is not the emperor of the Shang Dynasty, but in Xiqi he is a well-deserved emperor, whether it is the army or courtiers, he has it, the only thing that he does not have may be the true identity of the emperor.

What's more, from the fact that Ji Chang was able to hold back the anger in his heart and eat the meatloaf made of his son's flesh and blood, it is enough to see Ji Chang's ruthlessness and ruthlessness, although it is more of Ji Chang's endurance in this, but if his heart is not ruthless enough, how can he eat those meatloaf expressionlessly?

With Ji Chang's wisdom and his investigation, it is not difficult to find out that his son Boyi was instructed to go to Chaoge before taking the exam, and who benefited the most from this Ji Chang doesn't need to think about it, not to mention that Ji Chang is clear about what he thinks about his son.

But in this case, Ji Chang didn't punish him in any way, and still pretended not to know anything. Bo Yi Kao is dead, and it's too late to say anything, and no one wants to see this result of his. Of course, there are such reasons for this, but it is more because of Ji Chang's ruthlessness, he can treat all this as if nothing happened.

Jiang Ziya conquered some of the ministers under Ji Chang through his own knowledge and strategy, and the ministers' recognition of Jiang Ziya was no longer limited to his identity. In order to expand his army and territory, during this time, Zhongxiqi constantly sent troops to attack some of the weaker vassal states of the Shang Dynasty and annexed them.

Perhaps the distance between them is very far and difficult to manage, but with the people of these vassal states alone, all kinds of resources are not in vain. After war, blood and fire, Xiqi's army has successfully become a group of "war machines".

Of course, these vassal states attacked by Xiqi were not those vassal states that wanted to oppose the Shang Dynasty, but those that still belonged to the Shang Dynasty, so that they could consume the national strength of the Shang Dynasty while making their own profits, so why not?

With the passage of time, more and more vassal states were defeated by the Xiqi attack, and the national power of the Shang Dynasty began to decline rapidly. Di Xin was furious when he heard of Xiqi's actions, and he originally thought that he would first integrate the Shang Dynasty's army, and then quickly attack and destroy Xiqi in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, Xiqi took the initiative to attack and annexed many vassal states, and the furious Emperor Xin no longer cared about any plans, and immediately ordered a large army to attack Xiqi.

At this time, Xiqi's army was still in another annexed vassal state, and Chonghou Hu and others all rushed there, and it also became their battlefield. Because Chonghou Hu and others are close to here, so his army is the first to arrive here, in order to prevent Ji Chang from escaping, Chonghou Hu did not wait for Di Xin's army, but took advantage of the night to attack directly, has achieved the effect of surprise and unpreparedness.

The army attacked, Ji Chang's army did not react for a while, and was slaughtered, and by the time they reacted, hundreds of thousands of soldiers had already fallen. Seeing this, Ji Chang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it can be said that Chonghou Hu picked a good time.

In the past, the soldiers fought hard to kill the enemy, hoping to kill the enemy, but this enthusiasm did not dissipate with time, but became more and more courageous, and captured several vassal states in a row. At this time, the soldiers inevitably became a little arrogant, thinking that they were invincible, and their guards were relaxed a lot.

Ji Chang also knew this situation, but he had no way to stop it, after all, he had to rely on the blood of these people to continue the battle, if all the blood in their hearts was eliminated, then his strength in the battle would not be the same as before. Ji Chang thought: As long as there is no major problem, let them go on like this, but he didn't expect Chonghou Hu and others to attack at this time.

Looking at the slaughtered soldiers below, Ji Chang's heart was like a needle prick, these were all his help in the future conquest of the Shang Dynasty, and now they were destroyed like this! With the lesson of blood and flesh, the soldiers of Xiqi gradually eased up and returned to their previous state.

They don't think they're weaker than the enemies in front of them, they just think they've attacked them vilely, and that's only temporary. After seeing their friends being killed, their strength increased explosively, and they soon fought evenly with Chonghou Hu's army.

It would be nice if it was just evenly matched, but don't forget that it was not only Chonghou Hu who came this time, but also Di Xin's army. Therefore, seeing that the situation below was gradually stalemate, Chonghou Hu did not have a trace of worry in his heart.

In order not to let Ji Chang see anything, in order to prevent Ji Chang from temporarily changing his mind, Chonghou Hu still pretended to be very anxious, and sure enough, seeing Chonghou Hu's expression, Ji Chang and the others were fooled. They are still very confident in their soldiers, and the current battlefield is showing a stalemate, but it is still impossible to see who will lose and who will win after that, Ji Chang has no worries, and naturally he will not give up such a good opportunity and escape.

What's more, if Chonghou Hu can be defeated this time, then not only can you get countless benefits, but also weaken the strength of the Shang Dynasty, why not?
