Jiang Ziya's slow march this way, until now to come, mainly to establish Zhou's dominant position among the princes, in the name of the Son of Heaven and the strong soldiers and horses to deter the princes, and at the same time let the princes of the West Road send soldiers and horses to cut down together, so that they can really occupy the righteousness and completely tie the princes to the chariot.

Originally, I had to wait for a while, but I didn't expect the king to toss out an excess, and he actually wanted to sacrifice for the soldiers, so he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money and food, and the rules and regulations of the excesses proposed by Shen Gongbao were about to catch up with the princes' ceremony.

Isn't that right?

Let the princes see with their own eyes, such a ritual system, such a king, isn't it the most important thing to crusade?

Perfunctory to the nobles, especially solemn to the slave-born soldiers? Maybe there are many lowly slaves who have escaped from their mansions!

Zishou was woken up by the sound of the horn early in the morning, Shen Gongbao saw through Jiang Ziya's purpose, and specially came to ask for a meeting, and persuaded a few words politely, it is okay to be excessive, it is best to be in the pass, although everyone knows what they have done, but as long as they don't see it with their own eyes, they can leave the last bit of detour space.

Zishou naturally disagrees, what is the detour?

After the edict of exceedance was issued, he fell into a deep sleep again, the sun had just come out, and he would wait until noon to get up, and as for excess, it would be in the afternoon.

In the early afternoon.

The horn of the Zhou army sounded for most of the day, and the people who blew the horn changed several waves, from morning to noon, the army has been standing outside the Bishui Pass, three times inside, three times outside, each extremely tired, waiting for a long time, everyone is tired.

Jiang Ziya already had the idea of returning to the camp temporarily, his brows furrowed, and he kept speculating, maybe this was just the tired plan of the King of Xu.

If the merchant army sends troops to ambush outside the pass early, wait until the evening when the soldiers are most tired to sneak attack, and then cooperate with the army killed in the pass, it is easy to achieve certain results.

Just when Jiang Ziya was thinking about whether to return to the camp, the horn sounded again, this time from the Bishui Pass, and after a while, he saw a dense crowd of people and horses coming out of the pass, and finally formed a dense and unventilated piece.

The merchant army finally came out, and all of them exhaled.

Jiang Ziya also has a bottom in his heart, now the soldiers have not reached the limit, and the merchant army does not look like there is an ambush, if you want to fight head-on, you don't have to worry too much.

Although once the battle started, the Zhou army would suffer more battle losses than the merchant army because of fatigue, but their ultimate goal was to capture the Bishui Pass, and it was far more cost-effective to consume the merchant army's troops in a frontal battle outside the pass.

Besides, aren't the soldiers and horses of the princes of the Western Road summoned along the way used to do this kind of thing?

There is no need to worry about what the princes think, anyway, the princes don't value the soldiers, as long as they are controlled within a range, so that the princes do not misunderstand that they are weakening their forces.

Jiang Ziya rode out, raised his long sword, and loudly encouraged all the soldiers, and said loudly: "Crusade against the Unconscious King!"

Everyone shouted together, and Nangong Shi also shouted: "Kill those traitors who help the abuse, and leave no armor behind!"

Everyone laughed, and Ji Fa also smiled for the first time after experiencing the embarrassment of being chased.

On the other hand, the atmosphere among the merchant army is extremely heavy.

The huge team, in addition to the armor on their bodies, was also covered with white cloth, and some of the cloth was not enough, so they tied a strip of white cloth on their arms, and everyone had a sad look on their faces.

The royal driver quickly passed through the army.

Although the generals were fully armored, they all lowered their heads.

Fighting a war is going to die.

It is not only the soldiers who dare to be in the army, but also all the soldiers since the Western Expedition, as well as the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the Great Merchants in the past.

There are too many heroic spirits, and there are always a few acquaintances, and the soldiers of the merchant army inevitably recall all kinds of the past.

"After this battle, I'm going back to my hometown to get married!"

"You go first, and I'll catch up in a moment!"

"There is only one person on the other side, everyone is on it together!"

"I'm going to get an eye on it!"

I have to say that although it is not so easy to accept the high-standard heavy salute of the soldiers, it will attract countless verbal criticism, but on the whole, these generals who have experienced the war are easier to understand, and many people are nostalgic for the original crusade to the west.

Shang Jun sighed and sighed, but Zhou Jun still smiled, mocked, and criticized.

Halfway through the royal drive, Zishou got out of the car and walked slowly.

The guards protect both sides, from the gate of Bishui to the center of the Yin and Yang Altar where Shen Gongbao is located, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, extending until the end.

Finally got on the Yin Yang Altar, Zi Shou and Shen Gong Leopard on the altar staggered, there were a few soldiers standing beside him, the guards couldn't come up, the Yin Yang Altar built in a hurry can meet the needs of the scale, and the quality is not much guaranteed.

Zishou made a big salute to the urns placed on the altar, and bowed a few times, and Zhou Jun, who saw it in the distance, laughed even more, the king of a country, actually saluted the soldiers?

Zishou began to burn incense, the original tablet was not there, there were too many people who couldn't even name them, but the urn was also very good, if you want to say that you will be kind to the soldiers during the sacrifice, what do you do with burning their bodies?

Looking at the urn that occupied most of the Yin and Yang Altar, Zishou's heart was only sad, he raised his head, opened his mouth to say something, but found that ...... Forgot the word.

In other words, it was originally a sudden rise, thinking that a stubble is a stubble, there was no word at all, Zishou lowered his head and sighed, patted the shoulder of Shen Gongbao beside him, hesitated for a long time, and then held back a sentence and said loudly:

"Go all the way!"

A silence ensued.

Zishou tilted his head, he really didn't know what to say now, he blushed, and only picked up a purple coffin used for sacrifice, that is, an apple, and took a bite.

“......”

"Take a bite?" Zishou saw that the guards around him were a little out of shape, and shook the big apple that was missing a corner in his hand.

This time, the soldiers who are sad from their hearts are even more sad from their hearts.

Flowers and fruits, three meat and four vegetables, in fact, if you can let go of them, flowers can also be eaten.

But fortunately, since the early years of the king killed the cattle and sheep used to worship the ancestors to eat, some days of the people who could not live have begun to eat sacrifices, eating alive to do a career to glorify the ancestors, it is better than starving to accompany the ancestors.

Shen Gongbao hurriedly took a few steps forward, quickly lifted the siege, and took out the transcendent sacrifice text to prepare to recite.

Although this sacrificial text is newly compiled and just hot, every word and sentence in it is word by word, and it has been carefully considered by Shen Gongbao, Wen Zhong and others.

What they have done is the first time, and if there is any excesses in the future, they will become examples, and there is no room for error.

However, just when Shen Gongbao spoke, in the void, a little light flickered, and under the blue sky and white sun, a little gray and unknown light could be revealed, and this little gray light shrouded the world in the next moment.

Shen Gongbao was stunned in place, he seemed to have seen this light somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, but the most important thing at the moment was whether he still read this sacrificial text?

Just as he hesitated, the sound of chanting came from the outer heavens.
