On the street, Ji Fa personally led the horse, and Liu Xiu rode safely on the horse without a trace of refusal.

This is not the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the king can beat the courtiers.

In this era, when the king saw his courtiers, he was also courteous.

Liu Xiu did not refuse, he was an outsider, he came to Xiqi rashly and joined the Zhou State, without any prestige at all.

And Ji Fa's move of leading the horse just enhanced his prestige.

With prestige, everything is easy to say, and without prestige, everything is difficult to say.

Soon after, he worshiped him as "Shang Father" and worshiped him as a master. Ji Fa, Zhou Gongdan and others successively asked for advice on the way to govern the country and the way to fight the army, and Liu Xiu responded. Then he began to farm, to build high walls, to accumulate grain, and not to be king.

Quietly developed, low-key and incomparably low-key.

At this time, the written word was mainly circulated among witches, and most of the nobles were illiterate. There are major events, most of which are carved on tortoise shells, animal bones, or bronzes.

Liu Xiu made bamboo slips, made brushes, and made ink, opening the era of bamboo slips.

Then, it is to teach the way of farming and warfare.

The Zhou people are in a state of semi-farming and half-pastoralism, and they are not familiar with farming. Liu Xiu taught the Zhou people to farm and increase grain production.

Under the influence of Yin Shang, the Zhou people were also prevalent in human martyrdom and human sacrifice. Human sacrifice and martyrdom caused the Zhou State to lose a large number of people. Liu Xiu issued a decree prohibiting human martyrdom and replacing human martyrdom with terracotta figurines. The result was not successful, and there were still people martyred, and human sacrifice existed.

persuaded Ji Fa many times, and Ji Fa ordered many times, but he still did not change his viciousness.

Fortunately, with the promulgation of the decree, the scale and number of human martyrs are still decreasing.

It is also to encourage the birth of the population and increase the number of people.

Various policies were implemented to increase the population of the Zhou state, as well as the production of grain, which was the basis of the war.

It is also the use of new forging technology to improve the sharpness of bronze weapons and mass production; It is also to build chariots and increase the number of troops of the Zhou army. One policy after another is being implemented, the national strength of the Zhou State is recovering, and the population and troops lost in the defeat of Li Cheng are slowly recovering.

It was also a heavy bribe of the Shang courtiers to surrender to the king of Zhou, so that the Shang Dynasty relaxed its vigilance and expanded to the east with peace of mind.

Ten years of life and ten years of lessons, the former baby grew up and became a soldier.

In the past, Ji Fa, who was still a teenager, became a middle-aged man.

"Congratulations to the king, the good news is here, the Taishi Bigan, the young master Jizi, came to my Zhou Kingdom and leaked a lot of information about Yin Shang!" On this day, Liu Xiu congratulated, "These two people want to use the power of my Zhou people to destroy Di Xin!" ”

"Bigan, Jizi, they are all Di Xin's uncles, how can they rebel against Shang?"

Ji Fa said in disbelief.

"Yin Shang, after the rebellion of the nine generations, the killing of brothers, the killing of kings, the killing of fathers, etc., all happened!" Liu Xiudao: "It is rumored that these two people are in vain, and they are slightly limited. Emperor Xin abandoned it and reused the commoners, causing them to be dissatisfied, so there was a traitorous move! ”

Ji Fa was still incredulous and went to inquire in person.

As a result, Bigan, Jizi and others told Ji Fa all the information of the Shang Dynasty. In continuous battles, the merchant army suffered a lot of losses.

At this moment, the song is empty, if you send an elite soldier to go to the song, you will break the song.

Bigan said: "Di Xin is cruel and unkind, despises the clan, is close to women, and despises ancestral sacrifices. Please send troops to the king of Zhou, kill the tyrant Di Xin, and restore the justice of the Shang Dynasty! ”

Jizi also said: "Emperor Xin has no way, please King Zhou to crusade against it!" ”

The two of them continued to talk, talking about the sins of the king.

Liu Xiu listened to it, and there was a bit of a taste of "borrowing teachers to help suppress".

Bigan and Jizi said a lot, and Liu Xiu listened to it and understood it more and more.

At this moment, the Shang Dynasty was facing a split, with the faction of the King of Xuan on one side and the factions of Bigan, Jizi, and Weizi on the other.

The two major factions are fighting, and as for who is right and who is wrong, it is difficult to say for the time being. As a result, Di Xin had the upper hand, while Bigan, Miko, Weizi and others lost. These people were unwilling to fail, so they went to the West and asked for help from the Zhou State, asking for help from their teachers.

Relying on the strength of the Zhou army, Di Xin was expelled and then allowed to ascend the throne by Bigan, Jizi and others.

After a moment of conversation, Bigan, Miko and the others left.

"Father Shang, this is an opportunity." Ji Fa said.

"Beware of deception. If we fall for the counter-plot, my Zhou army may be in danger of perdition! Liu Xiu said vigilantly.

"However, I am not willing in my heart!" Ji Fa said.

Liu Xiu said: "It's better to gather the princes from all sides, gather in Mengjin, and test one or two, if the Shang Dynasty is really weak, you can march to the court; If it's fake, you can retreat! ”

Ji Fa said: "Father Shang is reasonable! ”

The state of Zhou was mobilizing, the army was converging, and it was heading towards the east. At the same time, the allies of the Zhou State also gathered one after another.

The army was mobilizing, and the Zhou army dispatched 80,000 elite soldiers, gathered in the Mengjin generation.

80,000 elite soldiers, almost one-tenth of the population of the Zhou State, all the men, all gathered here. Once this battle is defeated, the Zhou State will fall into a catastrophe of annihilation, and there will be a danger of extinction.

Ji Fa was in a heavy mood.

Liu Xiu was also in a heavy mood.

Zhou Jun can't afford to lose, but this gambling must be carried out.

The Zhou State was weak, whether it was national strength, military strength, or population, etc., it was greatly inferior to the Shang Dynasty. If you want to defeat the strong with the weak, you must win by surprise, and you are destined to take risks and gamble constantly.

Soon after, various allies also sent troops one after another and gathered in Mengjin.

The princes gathered together, and the number of troops reached 150,000.

Mengjin is less than 400 miles away from Chaoge.

When the news reached Chaoge, Di Xin was shocked, but fortunately there was evil to guard it.

After panicking, Di Xin became calm again.

"Someone leaked the information of our DPRK!" A cold color flashed across Di Xin's face, and he looked away.

Soon the information came, Bigan, Jizi and others, colluded with the Zhou people and leaked the information, causing the Zhou people to drive straight into Mengjin and threaten Chaoge.

Di Xin was furious, and wanted to kill Bigan, Jizi and others, but he thought that the two were uncles, and if they were killed, they would leave a name of unkindness, so they were just exiled.

…………

Knock knock!

The drums of war sounded, and the coalition army and the merchant army fought Mengjin.

The chariot roared and rushed to kill; The soldiers rushed in with their long songs; There are high-level generals colliding together and fighting together. There was no ostentatious collision of true qi, no amazing shock wave, but extreme concentration of power.

The commander of the coalition army is Ji Fa, who leads an army of 150,000; The commander of the merchant army came for evil and led an army of 100,000.

The two sides fought each other for more than ten days.

As a result, the Allies were slightly at a disadvantage.

After more than ten years of training, the combat effectiveness of the Zhou army is not inferior to that of the Shang army, but those allies of the Zhou army are too inferior in combat effectiveness.

This battle was unfortunate, and the Zhou army not only encountered a god-like opponent, Evil, but also an ally like a pig.

"King, withdraw your troops!"

Liu Xiu persuaded and said: "There are some allies of the Shang Dynasty who attack Hojing and threaten the Zhou State; There is also a merchant general Fei Lian, attacking the rear road of our army, if we do not retreat, there may be a danger of annihilation of the whole army! ”

"Lonely and unwilling!"

Ji Fa said unwillingly.

In the end, I evacuated.

If he did not evacuate, the main force of the Zhou army might be annihilated, and he Ji Fa was also captured by the merchants and sent to the Taimiao Temple to be beheaded to worship the ancestors of the Shang Dynasty.
