The sun sets, the sun sets, and the heartbroken man is at the end of the world.

Hundreds of red-armored knights surrounded Xibohou Jichang, who was old and strong in the middle, still standing proudly on top of the chariot, and walked towards the white phalanx without hurrying.

Behind him were dozens of prisoner carts, Hong Jin and Tuxing Sun were locked in them weakly, their eyes gradually changed from resentment to begging for mercy, then scolding, and finally silence and despair.

The two outstanding disciples who expounded the teachings and intercepted the teachings were reduced to prisoners at this moment, and their hearts were full of chagrin, if they were not dizzy and surrendered at that time, at this moment, were they already waiting for the king's rescue and were receiving the king's praise and praise?

But who knew that the king would come so quickly and so decisively.

Meng Jibo was thousands of miles away, and he could also make Xibohou directly betray them directly.

300,000 troops, no, plus Hong Jin's Sanshan Pass garrison, a full 350,000 army, just surrendered to Di Xin's 100,000 tired army.

Hong Jin couldn't figure it out, and Tu Xingsun couldn't understand it, if he had to give an explanation.

It can only be the strongest army and an inhuman commander, and the world will be shocked.

Or maybe there is a grudge in the dark that is destined for them to die.

I saw Ji Chang respectfully stepping off the chariot, and under the gaze of countless white-robed armor soldiers, he walked naturally in front of the silver-armored emperor and sang respectfully.

"Minister, Xibohou Jichang visits the king, may the king be blessed with longevity and Kangning, and the emperor's power will spread all over the four frontiers!"

Di Xin was silent, quietly looking at the old man in front of him who was pushing two hundred miles to the north of Xinjiang, with a little murderous aura in his eyes.

"Ji Chang, don't you think your reason is very funny? Or do you think you can fool the widow casually? ”

Ji Chang was shocked and asked with sincere fear: "King, what do you mean by this?" Who in the world doesn't know that my Zhou State is the most humble, I heard that the rebellion of Sanshanguan, the minister is constantly chasing the thieves, don't believe you, ask those princes, ask the guard of Jiameng Pass Hu Sheng, Ji Chang's Zhou warriors can have one of them attack the city? Killed a Chaoge soldier? ”

“……”

The scene was a little silent, looking at Di Xin's gaze that came over for consultation, Evil came forward and said helplessly.

"Your Majesty, it seems that there really isn't!"

Di Xin exhaled a breath of white air in the cold wind of late autumn, looking a little helpless, Xi Bohou did not leak anything, and all the retreats were to find himself in advance before making a move.

It's just that this time Ji Chang not only defeated the two Xiongguan, but also the 200 miles he occupied in northern Xinjiang is the most critical area of the northern defense line, west of the Yellow River, called "Hexi".

Because of its long and narrow area, it was called the "Hexi Corridor" during the Han Dynasty.

In the Warring States Period, Wei and Qin had five major wars in the land west of the river, and finally Qin had the last laugh, with this anointed land, Qin also officially opened the road to hegemony.

From a military point of view, the Zhou State wants to go out of the customs, there are three paths, to the south can enter Shu and take the Shu Road through Jingchu and the south of Xinjiang bypass, to the north can enter the grassland to walk in the direction of the dog Rong detour, if it is a straight line between the two points, the best choice is to pass the two passes, from Hexi to the north of Xinjiang, to the east can go directly to Binzhou, Jizhou, to the southeast can cut into the hinterland of the Great Shang, go straight to Chaoge.

Strategically, economically, and agriculturally, it is very important for the land of Northern Xinjiang, and even more important for the Zhou State.

Without Hexi, the Zhou State is the Pingling Kingdom that was blocked by Donglu.

"Ji Chang, two hundred miles west of the river, shouldn't you give Binzhou and Chongguo an explanation?"

Ji Chang hurriedly confessed and begged for mercy, his face looked very embarrassed, and at this time, he didn't care about the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, and pointed to the 300,000 army behind him and said silently.

"The king, the minister had no intention of invading the northern frontier, but the 300,000 soldiers under the minister's hands ate horses, and they also had to have spoils of war and military exploits, right? Otherwise, the next time the dog Rong invades again, how many warriors of the Zhou State are willing to fight and defend the frontier, and how many are willing to obey the call? ”

"You are thinking about Northern Xinjiang, do you also have to think about Zhou Guo, Beihai Rebellion, you let Taishi help Chonghou Hu to quell the rebellion, Jizhou Rebellion, you drove the rebellion, the Great Witch Sacrifice chased the wind and caught the shadow, and said a sentence Liaodong Seven Killing Star Yingfu You also took the initiative to help Northern Xinjiang defend Liaodong, Donglu too, the second expedition to Dongyi poured the country to help, the minister fought bloodily with the Rong people in the grassland, and Xiqi was broken, where were you? Where is the big business? A group of people piled up at Sanshan Pass to watch Zhou Guo's jokes. Your Majesty, do you have to have a scale for your eccentricity? Is Zhou Guo so unpopular with you? ”

"Ji Chang is the Xibohou of the Great Shang, and the Zhou State is the barrier of the West, can you have a bowl of water? I don't want you to help Ji Chang do anything, can you please not help others? It was my son who was assassinated, and he hasn't woken up yet, it's because he has the Chong clan and the Tao clan that can't manage his own territory, and others have come to vote, and everyone really takes refuge, how can I abandon them with my backhand? If that's the case, wouldn't my Xibohou have a reputation, and wouldn't Zhou Guo have credibility? ”

As soon as these words came out, if it weren't for Hong Jin and Tuxingsun's sour and weak bodies, they would definitely have to talk to Xibohou.

Looking at the impassioned, sad and indignant Ji Chang, Di Xin was a little stunned, it was the first time he saw this old man dare to lose his temper in front of him, and, listening to his analysis, it seems that this is really the case, always helping Northern Xinjiang and Donglu to fight foreign races, Zhou Guo's words are so loud that he can't refute it.

"The land west of the river has been the territory of northern Xinjiang since ancient times, and few people have heard of it, didn't Chonghou send Chongying Biao over?"

"The land west of the river can live in it, the king, I have 300,000 people in this area of Zhou, how can the money and food be leveled by a Chongying Biao? If I have to give up the land to the west of the river, it is better for you to directly withdraw the title of the marquis of Xibo, so as not to let the minister suffer an inexplicable insult. ”

"Shhh

Xibohou is so domineering, legally Chongying Biao and Bo Yi Kao are both heirs, the identity of the eldest son, logically speaking, he Ji Chang is more than a dozen biological sons, and Chonghou since the death of the second son, Chongying Biao is already an only son, Bo Yi Kao is not dead, but Chonghou takes his only son at his disposal, as a result, Xi Bohou still feels that this is an insult to him, and he is indeed arrogant and domineering.

On the side of the big merchants, the honest and loyal evil people couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and Lu Renjie was even more stunned, pulled out the sword in his hand and stood between Ji Chang and the red armor knight, looking at this half-hundred-year-old man with fierce eyes.

Ji Chang was not afraid at all, with seven points of shame in his eyes and three points of acting skills, he just looked at Di Xin directly, but it made this iron-blooded king feel a little embarrassed, as if he really felt sorry for him.

The atmosphere was a little silent, Ji Chang and Di Xin were staring at each other with such big eyes, if Meng Wei or Fei Zhong and You Hun were here, they would be able to make Ji Chang embarrassed, but they came in a hurry and failed to keep the courtiers who could speak well by their side.

I saw that Xibohou's eyes softened, and he bowed to the ground again, and said respectfully: "King, the minister is willing to return the Sanshan Pass, Jiameng Pass and Chaoge, after all, this is the territory of the Great Shang, and the minister has absolutely no two hearts, but it is absolutely impossible for the Hexi minister to give up, and the big deal is that the Bang Bo and officials in the cities of Hexi will not interfere to move, and this land can no longer be given to Binzhou, it must belong to my Xiqi, and then let the minister send a general to garrison to protect these Bang Bo who are committed to my Zhou State, so, what do you think?" ”

Seeing the steps coming down, Di Xin was still a little hesitant, feeling that he was coming over violently, the atmosphere was here, how could he make himself a little like a villain in a few words.

"O king! The minister's Boyi Kao is still unconscious, the minister's Xiqi has just been ransacked, and the minister has been fighting with the dog Rong in the grassland for two years, the king, the minister is so bitter! ”

"Moreover, the minister wants Chongying Biao to do a lot, and the prince of Chongguo is not the son of my Zhou State, and the minister has already sent Chonghou back, alas! Chonghou is confused, can I be as confused as him? Tiger poison doesn't eat children, king. ”

Looking at Ji Chang, who was crying and crying, Di Xin was also a little bored in his heart, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only say helplessly: "Okay, the widow knows, you can garrison Hexi, and at the same time, the northern Xinjiang also needs someone to garrison Hexi, with Sanshan Pass and Jiameng Pass as the line, the Zhou State will withdraw its troops, and the northern border must not be violated again." ”

"The minister Ji Chang obeys the order, the king Shengming!"

And after the two sides demarcated the boundary and divided the period, Ji Chang left a dozen people in the prisoner car, and turned back to the military camp with satisfaction, and in just half a day, the entire Zhou army began to retreat in the direction of Xiqi, leaving Tai Ying alone to give 30,000 Zhou warriors to begin to defend Hexi.

Looking at Di Xin, who was sitting in the camp tent and meditating, he couldn't figure it out, sighed quietly, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Alas! It's really boring, you have to withdraw when you just come, it's better to follow Meng Jibo to fight the Lingguo at that time, so many capable people under his hands have stayed in the Mengjiguo in the northern Xinjiang, presumably, follow Meng Jibo to fight the Pingling Marquis, there should be a lot of opportunities to go to the battlefield. ”

Di Xin frowned and looked at the evil man, not understanding what kind of madness this fool had.

However, the veteran of Meng Jiguo mentioned by the evil came to remind him of the people who were often mentioned by Meng Ji's generals, Zhao Bing, Deng Zhizhong, Zhong Xi, Lian Yong, Xin Ping, maybe you can consider transferring troops from Meng Jiguo?

"Very good, it seems that the widow is still very strategic."

"Evil comes, hurry up and send a letter, let Meng Yan choose to send a clever general, send 50,000 troops, and guard Hexi for his Chonghou."

"Hmph, if all the courtiers of my great merchant are like Meng Jibo, loyal and good at fighting, how can the widow have such a headache? Order, escort that who, Hong Jin and Tuxingsun back to Chaoge, let the Great Witch Sacrifice give me a thousand knives to punish these two people, and then pull out the soul to break the bones and scatter ashes, otherwise it will be difficult to solve the hatred in the hearts of the widows! ”

"Jiameng Pass guards Hu Sheng, beheaded the public, and spread the 33 passes of the four frontiers to set an example!"

Evil comes silently bowing its head, and should be promised.

After dealing with Xihe and Binzhou, Di Xin lay tired on the simple bed, and his mood began to be irritable again, and the happiness he found from the battle of Dongyi seemed to be exhausted again on the way to rescue the northern Xinjiang this time.

Just thinking about it, Di Xin felt very strange, why did he make it as if he had been beaten himself, obviously this is Northern Xinjiang, and the person in Northern Xinjiang is called Chonghou Hu, and it is not the direct territory of his big business, why did he finish everything by himself, but Chonghu, the person in charge, has never been present.

Could it be that the distance from Chongcheng to here is longer than running from Donglu by yourself?

"Order, the army is marching and going to Chongcheng!"

It seems that this army has been running from the middle line to the east, and then marching all the way to the west, no matter how elite the team is, it is correct not to start a war with the Zhou State, otherwise it is really difficult to say whether the victory or defeat is under the easy wait, let alone the enemy is outnumbered.

At the request of many generals, Di Xin also slowed down the pace of the march, trying his best to let the soldiers recover their strength, and let the merchants slowly transport grain and open the market.

The heavy snow of the fourth year of Di Xin finally came late, although it came late, but it was urgent and heavy, and in just one day, it wrapped the earth in silver, so that only a piece of white was left in the vast world.

There is Chong's still black, on the white snow, a few small black dots look like small ants from a distance, galloping all the way from the direction of Chongcheng in the wind and snow, from far to near, slowly enlarging the figure.

"Chongcheng Fang, Zhuo, ask to see the king."

Hearing the rumor of the commander, Di Xin yawned, tiredly walked out of the tent with the stove lit, and just lifted the curtain, it was a biting cold wind poured into the greenhouse, which made Di Xin shiver, simply turned over and continued to lie on the couch, and said impatiently.

"Come in and talk, your Chonghou is such a big faction, if you don't come, send a little general over, are you really not afraid that Ji Chang will really fight all the way to Chongcheng?"

Fang Zhuo didn't answer, but there was some sadness and confusion between his eyebrows, and the young man's hoarse voice slowly sounded.

"King, Chong...... Chonghou is here! ”

The astonishing momentum erupted in the main camp, and Evil Lai and Lu Renjie were instantly shocked and rushed towards the main camp.

Before entering the camp, he saw Di Xin walking out angrily, without speaking, with a gloomy face and gritted his teeth, leading the horses in the stable and walking outside the barracks.

"What happened, King?"

"King, why don't you ignore evil? What happened to make you so eager to go out in the snow? ”

Seeing that Di Xin didn't care about himself, he was also in a hurry, and immediately beckoned the pro-military camp to follow him immediately, and he ran all the way to Fang Zhuo and asked.

"Tell me, what did you say to the king?"

Fang Zhuo knelt on the ground silently, he was already in tears at this moment, the fast horse and whip all the way did not tire this man, but after the report was finished at this time, he could no longer control his emotions, and his voice trembled and repeated.

"Chonghou is here, the lord of the Northern Frontier is here!"

The strong body of the evil came and felt a deep chill spread throughout his body, and immediately rushed out and commanded Lu Renjie.

"Please also ask General Lu to take the army slowly and go to Chongcheng, Chonghou Xu, the king may be difficult to accept for a while, I will follow the king first!"

After speaking, the thousands of horsemen in the pro-military camp roared out, and plunged into the wind and snow with the lord of the great merchant to whom they were loyal.

As soon as he got closer, Evil came as if he heard the king gritting his teeth.

"The widow has no permission, Chonghu, how dare you, how dare you die???"
