Early the next morning, Chonghou Hu gathered all the generals in the big tent of the Chinese army.

And directly said to everyone: "Today is the first day that our army has arrived in Xiqi, so this battle is crucial. ”

"I don't know the generals, who is willing to win the first prize for our army to boost the prestige of our army?"

As soon as Chonghou Hu's words fell, his son Chongying Biao stood up.

And said to Chonghou Hu: "Father, the child is willing to fight for a while. ”

"It's bound to kill him Xiqi and let Ji Fa Xiao'er know that I Chongcheng soldiers and horses are powerful. ”

Chonghou Hu couldn't help but nod with satisfaction when he saw his son asking for battle.

But before Chonghou Hu could agree, he saw Shen Gongbao stand up.

I only heard Shen Gongbao speak: "Bei Bohou, although Ling Lang can fight for the good and brave three armies. ”

"But this must be Xibohou's family matter, if Xibohou can solve it himself, why bother with someone else's hands?"

"What the national teacher said is right, if you can fight without blood, it is naturally the best policy. The King nodded and said.

When Chonghou Hu heard the words of Shen Gongbao and King Xu, he naturally couldn't let his son fight anymore.

So he opened his mouth and said to Bo Yi Kao: "I don't know what Xi Bohou wants?"

"The national teacher and the king of Xiaoyao are right, and Ben Hou is willing to give it a try. Bo Yi Kao nodded and said.

Chonghou Hu nodded and said, "Chongying Biao, you bring five thousand men and horses to hold down the position for Xibohou. ”

"If Xibohou can persuade Xiqi to surrender, you will directly lead people to put Jiang Ziya and Ji Fa into the wooden cage prisoner car. ”

"If Xiqi is a thief, don't take Xibohou's words to heart. You must keep Sibohou safe. ”

"Father rest assured, there is a child here, and no one can think of hurting Xibohou. Chongying Biao said.

Then he followed Bo Yi Kao and went out to order 5,000 men. Went straight to Xiqi City.

......

When the two came to the outside of Xiqi City, they saw soldiers on the Xiqi city wall.

One by one, as if facing a great enemy, they were afraid that the merchant army would directly attack the city wall.

At this time, Bo Yi Kao opened his mouth and said to Chongying Biao: "The little general will wait here for a while, and wait for Benhou to go and persuade them to surrender." ”

After finishing speaking, he came to the foot of Xiqi City. And he opened his mouth and shouted loudly: "Listen to the defenders on the city wall, I am the eldest son of King Wen, Bo Yi Kao, and the prince of Xibo. ”

"You didn't quickly open the city gate and let the civil and military officials go out of the city to greet Benhou. ”

The soldiers on the city wall learned that it was the eldest prince Bo Yi Kao under the city.

I didn't know what to do for a while, let them shoot arrows at Bo Yikao, they didn't dare.

So he immediately sent someone to see Ji Chang and told him about Bo Yi Kao's arrival in Xiqi City.

Ji Chang couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, and hurriedly said, "I don't know how Bo Yi came to be examined?"

"King Qiwen, the eldest prince is shouting under the city at this time. said that he was the Xibohou of the king, and asked the hundred officials in Xiqi City to go out of the city to greet him. The person who came said to Ji Chang.

At this time, Ji Fa stood up directly and said: "Father, the eldest brother has only been in Chaoge for a few months, and now he is so arrogant and rampant. ”

"I'm afraid that at this time, he has been confused by the reward of the king of Xu, and this time he is here to take over Xiqi City. ”

As soon as Ji's voice fell, several ministers stood up in agreement.

And this even includes San Yisheng. This San Yisheng is an important minister of Xiqi.

Although he is only a doctor now, he has always exercised the position of prime minister.

Even if Jiang Ziya is worshiped as the prime minister, he is only responsible for military affairs.

All matters in government affairs are still in charge of San Yisheng. So his words have a lot of weight in Xiqi.

At this time, a Taoist stepped in from outside. And said: "The eldest prince is the eldest son of King Wen. ”

"Now that King Wen has been crowned king, this Xibohou should naturally have the eldest prince to inherit. Now that the eldest prince has returned to the country, why should he be turned away from the city?"

It was none other than the Maitreya Taoist of Western Buddhism.

"Maitreya Daoyou, it stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with saying that you are friends. But today's poor road does not dare to agree. Jiang Ziya said.

"I don't know what the Flying Bear Daoist means?" Maitreya Daoist deliberately accentuated the word Flying Bear.

Jiang Ziya naturally understood the meaning, that is, he secretly sarcastically mocked himself as a flying bear in his last life.

So he snorted coldly and said: "Now Bo Yi Kao has brought 200,000 troops behind him, and he keeps saying that he wants to capture his own appearance and the second son, Ji Fa. ”

"Could it be that this is what Maitreya Daoist said in the mouth, Xibohou can't return to the country? In the eyes of this prime minister, I am afraid that this Boyi Kao is coming back to seize power. ”

Maitreya Daoist didn't pay attention to Jiang Ziya, but directly said to King Wen: "King Wen, I don't know if you will believe that Bo Yikao is a disloyal and unfilial person?"

"Bo Yi Kao has been a role model for your brothers since he was a child, how can he do such a disloyal thing?" Ji Chang said without hesitation.

"Father, the son-in-law thinks that this time and that time. At that time, the eldest brother was just the eldest son of the Xibohou Mansion. ”

"So naturally all aspects are very good, otherwise how would my father pass on the throne of Xibohou to him?"

"But now that he has been crowned as the Marquis of Xibo, there is naturally no need to disguise it anymore. ”

Therefore, the son felt that it was better for his father to be careful. It's best to send someone to test it first. Ji Fa opened his mouth and said to Ji Chang.

"King Wen, what the second prince said is very true. It's better to let the second son take a group of men out of the city. I'll go to Na Bo Yi for a while. ”

"King Wen led hundreds of civil and military officials, and they could watch the battle from the city wall. At that time, it will be clear whether Bo Yi will really return to the country, or come back to seize power. Jiang Ziya said.

Ji Chang couldn't help but nod after hearing this, and then said, "General Nangong Shi, you take five thousand men and horses and Ji out of the city." ”

After Nangong Shi snorted, he followed Ji Fa and went to the barracks to order troops.

......

Bo Yi waited for a long time and didn't see anyone come forward to talk, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart.

After all, he had a letter in his hand, which was ready to be sent out before the two armies today.

In this secret letter, not only did he tell Ji Chang that he was Xiaoyao, the king of Shangzi Xin, and the national teacher Shen Gongbao, but also that Lu Yue, a qi practitioner from Jiulong Island, was here.

A map of the distribution of the merchant army camp was also attached to the secret letter. It's a pity that he didn't see anyone come out.

At this time, the suspension bridge on the moat outside Xiqi City was slowly lowered.

At the same time, the gates of Xiqi City opened, and a force of men and horses came out of the gates. The person at the head is none other than Ji Fa.

This couldn't help but make Bo Yikao secretly happy in his heart. But there was not the slightest smile on his face.

Instead, he said angrily: "You finally dare to come out to see Ben Hou." ”

"Could it be that you are really as Han Rong said, and you are ready to rebel?"
