As soon as Di Xin finished speaking, the air in the hall seemed to freeze, and a heavy aura quietly permeated. Then, a deep and confident voice broke the silence: "Your Majesty, although the four princes have many soldiers, the four princes are not of the same mind. The army of more than one million people seems to be unstoppable, but in fact it is a plate of scattered sand, and there is nothing to fear. ”

The voice came suddenly and unexpectedly, Di Xin looked up sharply, and saw a figure walking out of the shadows, he was wearing a black robe, wearing a heavy bronze sword around his waist, and the hilt of the sword was carved with intricate patterns, which looked simple and mysterious.

"Who are you?" Di Xin was shocked, he didn't expect someone to sneak into his dormitory without a sound.

"I'm Wen Zhong."

Wen Zhong said as he slowly paced in front of Di Xin, looking at him calmly.

He has a resolute face, eyes like electricity, and a tightly closed vertical eye on his forehead, giving people a sense of not being angry and arrogant. His appearance was like a lightning bolt in the night, which caught people off guard.

"Wen Zhong? The leader of the rebels in Linzhuanguan? ”

An ominous premonition suddenly rose in Di Xin's heart.

He jerked his head towards Sudaji.

The other party can appear in the dormitory quietly, and it must be inseparable from Su Daji.

Su Daji stood beside Di Xin, her eyes revealed a hint of cunning, and she whispered in Di Xin's ear: "Your Majesty, those princes want to get rid of us as soon as possible, only he is willing to surround our lives...... Wouldn't it be better for us to surrender and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live and fly together? ”

Di Xin's heart was surging with mixed emotions, and he glanced at Su Daji, the woman who had once made him crazy, but at this moment he felt a trace of inexplicable fear.

He knew in his heart that Su Daji's words contained her own calculations, but he also knew that he had no choice.

The crisis in Chaoge City, his country, and his love-hate relationship with Su Daji, all of them have reached the moment when they must make a decision.

He took a deep breath, calmed the waves in his heart, and then slowly said to Wen Zhong: "Wen Zhong, are you really willing to let go of Lonely?" Aren't you afraid of the comeback of the lonely mountain? ”

Wen Zhong smiled slightly, and replied with confidence: "If Your Majesty can make a comeback, you might as well come again to take back this world." ”

Di Xin looked at Wen Zhong's determined eyes, and the defense line in his heart was gradually broken.

He knew that this might be his only chance to live, and it was his last bet.

He nodded slowly in agreement.

Di Xin's heart was like a river overturning, his hands clenching the armrests of the dragon chair, his knuckles white from excessive exertion. A hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, this once invincible Shang king, but now he was about to bow to a rebel leader. His pride, his glory, everything about him, was burned to ashes by the relentless flames of war.

But the instinct to survive tells him that this is the only way out. He took a deep breath, suppressed his inner struggle and unwillingness, and said in a deep voice: "Wen Zhong, Lone agrees to surrender. But you must ensure that the lives of Gu and Daji are not threatened. ”

Wen Zhong nodded, his eyes were firm and profound, as if he could perceive people's hearts: "Your Majesty, my Wen Zhong's words have always counted. As long as Your Majesty does not raise an army to resist, I guarantee the safety of Your Majesty and Daji. As for the castle, we will enter the castle at dusk tomorrow, and ask Your Majesty to open the gates of the city to meet our army. ”

The corners of Di Xin's mouth twitched, he knew that this was an invisible signing of his own death sentence. But he had no choice, he could only promise: "Okay, Lone will do what you say." ”

Wen Zhong bowed slightly, turned to leave, his figure gradually blurred in the night until it disappeared.

As the night grew darker, Di Xin returned to his dormitory, his eyes hollow and the despair in his heart as deep as night. He looked at Daji, the former confidante who had become his only support. He whispered, "Daji, tomorrow evening, everything will end." ”

Daji gently held his hand, and there was also an imperceptible sadness in her eyes: "Your Majesty, no matter what, Daji will accompany you." ”

The next day, night fell as promised, and the Linzhuanguan army, under the command of Wen Zhong, was like a cheetah in the dark night, quietly launching a fierce attack on the camp of Dongbohou. Their movements were swift and decisive, and for a moment, Dongbohou's camp fell into chaos.

Although the soldiers of the Dongbohou battalion were brave, under Wen Zhong's carefully planned night attack, the defense line was quickly torn open a huge gap. Wen Zhong's army poured into the city like a tide.

Di Xin watched all this from the city wall, and his heart was mixed. He watched as the soldiers who had once sworn to defend the song were now under his own orders, laying down their arms and facing the invasion of the enemy.

His heart was full of pain and powerlessness, but he also knew that this was the only thing he could do, and he had to do it in order to survive, for the sake of Daji.

The fate of Chaoge City changed completely on this night.

Before the night ended, the army of Linlianguan was like a ghost in the night, quietly occupying every corner of Chaoge City. In the streets, the former prosperity has been replaced by a tense atmosphere, and the soldiers patrol in silence, their eyes cold and determined, as if any attempt to disrupt order will be ruthlessly suppressed.

Inside the palace, Wen Zhong stood on top of the high city walls, his eyes like torches, overlooking the newly conquered city. His military orders are like mountains, and the strict military laws make all soldiers like tight bowstrings, and they dare not relax in the slightest. In just a few hours, the military camp in Chaoge City had been completely controlled, and even the tip of the grass did not dare to move.

And in the Xiqi camp outside the city in the distance, Jiang Ziya was holding the talisman in his hand, his brows were tightly locked, and his eyes flashed with anger. Although he had regarded Wen Zhong as his biggest opponent a long time ago, he never expected that Chaoge City would fall into the hands of his opponent when he was about to take it.

This guy actually took away the fruits of victory that should have belonged to him right under his nose!

"Pass the order, the whole army is ready to attack the city!"

Jiang Ziya's voice was filled with irrepressible anger, and his fingers tapped tightly on the desk.

"Prime Minister, it's not dawn yet, should we wait until dawn?" A Xiqi general cautiously made a suggestion.

"Wait for dawn?!" Jiang Ziya reprimanded angrily, "Chaoge City is now a plate of scattered sand, and it is the best time for us to attack the city!" ”

Under his command, the war drums of the Xiqi army shook the heavens and the earth, and the siege horns pierced the silent night sky.

On the city wall of Chaoge City, Wen Zhong stood quietly, watching Jiang Ziya's army in the distance surging like a tide, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a faint sneer.

Yes, although he has just taken over Chaoge peacefully, there must be many big merchant soldiers who are not convinced.

This is the time when the city is at its poorest.

It was also the perfect time to siege the city.

Jiang Ziya seized this opportunity, but he didn't expect that Wen Zhong already had a way to deal with it.

In the name of Di Xin, he gave all the soldiers the rank of official and junior rank, and gave a large number of cloth, dried meat, etc. as rewards to stabilize the morale of the army.

It's a simple and crude method, but it's surprisingly effective.

After all, the soldiers of the Great Merchants were not so loyal to Di Xin, and they were not desperate to protect the orthodoxy of the Great Shang.

Now that Wen Zhong has given them a rich enough reward, and God Xin is also living well, they accept the reward with peace of mind, and turn to obey Wen Zhong's orders, everything is natural and natural.

Wen Zhong did not directly deprive those generals of their military rights, and still gave them enough respect and trust, so that their interests were not affected in any way.

In this way, the soldiers and civilians of Chaoge have a good impression of the Linli army.

At this moment, the Xiqi army attacked again, and Wen Zhong immediately ordered a group of soldiers to defend according to the original plan, and did not intervene too much.

He only ordered the army to assemble at the gates of the city.

First, it was to lay an ambush to prevent the Xiqi army from attacking the city, and secondly, it could also play the role of a supervisor.

The war drums of the Xiqi army reverberated one after another outside the Chaoge City, and the sound of trumpets pierced the night sky, deafening. Jiang Ziya's eyes burned with anger, and his subordinate generals were also highly motivated, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.

However, the walls of Asagajo are impregnable. Wen Zhong had already made preparations, and the soldiers of the Great Shang were inspired by him to fight with high spirits, and they defended the city like iron buckets. The rain of arrows on the city walls poured down like a torrential rain, and the siege ladders of the Xiqi army were overturned again and again, and the besieging soldiers fell wailing under the rain of arrows and boiling oil.

By the time dawn, the Xiqi army had suffered heavy casualties, the siege ladder was broken, and the corpses were piled up. Jiang Ziya watched his army collapse under Chaoge City, and the anger and helplessness in his heart were intertwined into a mess. He knew that if he continued like this, the soldiers would only die in vain.

His eyes were fixed on the city walls, and in the end he could only order the entire army to retreat.

After the army withdrew, Jiang Ziya rode on the legendary Sibu Xiang, personally came to Chaoge City, and shouted loudly at the city: "Tell that Wen Zhong to come out and answer!" ”

On the city wall, Wen Zhong heard Jiang Ziya's call, he smiled slightly, rode his mount Dangkang, and slowly walked out of the city gate.

When Kang Sihu was windy, he took him to Jiang Ziya.

The two were dozens of feet apart, their eyes met, and the atmosphere was tense.

Jiang Ziya was the first to speak, with an undoubted majesty in his voice: "Wen Zhong, do you know that Shang destroyed Zhou Xing, but it was in accordance with the way of heaven!" Do you really think you can go against the sky? If you don't come to your senses, you will end up reaping the consequences. ”

"Conform to the way of heaven?"

Wen Zhong laughed, his voice was sonorous and powerful: "Jiang Ziya, the way of heaven you said is just the way of heaven that you expound and teach!" Today's song is no longer the song of the past, and the Xiqi Zhou is not the part of the Heavenly Dao, and the land is the destiny of heaven.

Otherwise, how could I let Chaoge fall into my hands? ”

"Humph!"

Jiang Ziya snorted coldly and said, "Stubborn."

Above the sky, the clouds rolled, and the thunder was faint.

Wei Hu and Li Jing and other exposition disciples were intertwined with Ao Yi, Shi Ji and other sectarian disciples, and a fierce battle was launched. The magic weapon is full of brilliance, the magic power fights, and every impact seems to tear the sky.

Wei Hu held the vajra in his hand, the shadow of the pestle was like a mountain, and each blow was accompanied by the sound of gold and iron, which shook the clouds in the sky and trembled. And Li Jing waved the pagoda, and the shadow of the pagoda was layered on top of each other, like a real mountain, pressing towards the opponent.

Ao Yi was dressed in dragon scale armor, and the dragon-shaped aura churned around him, turning into dragon shadows, and struck hard with Wei Hu's vajra. Shi Ji clenched his fists with both hands, and his fists were fierce, and each punch carried a storm-like power, confronting Li Jing's pagoda.

This battle undoubtedly shook the heavens and the earth, and attracted the attention of the monks who watched the battle from all directions.

At this moment, Deng Chanyu saw the battle in the sky, and her heart couldn't help but jump.

Dressed in battle armor, holding a long sword in her hand, her eyes flashed with battle intent, she bowed her hand to Wen Zhongyi, and volunteered to step forward to call for battle.

"Let me meet these sectarian fanatics!"

Her voice was crisp, but firm.

After obtaining Wen Zhong's consent, she turned her horse and rushed into battle, pointed at the other party's Xiqi army and said, "Which one dares to come and fight with me?" ”

Jiang Ziya saw that a woman had come to call for battle, and couldn't help frowning secretly.

Tuxing Sun behind him saw that Deng Chanyu was as beautiful as a flower, and his heart was lustful, and he hurriedly took the initiative to ask Ying to fight. He jumped out, stood in front of the formation, looked at Deng Chanyu, and said teasingly: "Beauty, come on, come on, play with me." ”

When Deng Chanyu heard these obscene words, her face suddenly sank, and her heart burned with anger.

"A short and ugly man dares to be presumptuous in front of this girl!"

She scolded angrily and casually took out a dazzling five-light stone from her waist.

The five-light stone rotated in her hand, emitting a dazzling light, Deng Chanyu said something in her mouth, and the five-light stone instantly turned into a streamer and went straight to Tuxingsun.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Tuxing Sun hurriedly changed his body, trying to avoid this sudden attack. But the five-light stone is like a spirituality, chasing after it, and the brilliance is shining, so that the earth and grandson have nowhere to hide.

only heard a loud "bang", and the five-light stone hit Tu Xingsun's shoulder, beating him to a stumbling and holding his head.

Tu Xingsun hurriedly cast the technique of earth escape, and his short figure shuttled through the dirt, trying to shake off the shadowy five-light stone.

Seeing this, the corners of Deng Chanyu's mouth hooked up a smug smile, her figure danced like a flying swallow, followed by the long sword in her hand pointed at Tuxingsun, and the cold light on the tip of the sword was like the Big Dipper star, cold and compelling.

As soon as Tuxingsun emerged from the soil, he was hit by the five-light stone.

Just as he was dizzy, a cold blade grazed his neck, sending his ugly head flying into the sky.

"Puff~"

Warm blood spurted from his neck, and Tuxingsun's headless body twitched a few times, and then fell to the ground weakly.

Deng Chanyu shook off the blood on the sword with satisfaction, and looked proudly at the Xiqi army.

"Who else?"
