After entering the palace and bumping into San Yisheng on a long row of stone steps, Jiang Ziya was a little surprised and said, "Doctor, did the king also recruit you into the palace to discuss matters?" "As soon as he finished discussing the important matter with the generals, the palace attendants came to the Prime Minister's Mansion with the king's message, Jiang Ziya did not dare to slack off, so he hurried to the palace.

After suffering a big defeat, the king wants to see him, which is expected, but San Yisheng is also involved, which is intriguing.

San Yisheng said: "Yes, the king is in a hurry." ”

The two glanced at each other, and then went to the main hall together to meet Ji Fa, but Jiang Ziya was a little uneasy in his heart.

"The minister met the king. ”

Seeing Ji Fa standing with a solemn face, the two of them hurriedly greeted him.

Ji Fa stared straight at Jiang Ziya, and said in a deep voice: "Father, in this battle, I Xiqi has lost a lot. ”

Knowing that Jiang Ziya was attacked by Deng Jiugong on the way to withdraw his troops and suffered heavy losses, Ji Fa was heartbroken, and he secretly made up his mind that he couldn't go on like this, otherwise Xiqi would be destroyed in the war.

When his father, King Wen, was there, Xiqi was so rich and powerful, and the princes of the world were bull's ears, and even the king of Xuan had to be afraid of three points. But he has only inherited the throne for a few years, 400,000 soldiers and horses have suffered losses one after another, countless money and food have been consumed, and the people have complained, which is a symbol of the downward trend.

Jiang Ziya said in a sullen voice: "The soldiers and horses lost 100,000, a few generals, and the three highnesses also died on the battlefield one after another. ”

Ji Fa's face was gloomy, he glanced at him, held back his anger, and said, "Father, our troops are twice as large as Deng Jiugong, why are the losses so serious." ”

Jiang Ziya's heart sank, and he confessed: "It was the minister's unfavorable command that led to this defeat, please punish the king." ”

Ji Fa didn't speak, he was silent for a long time, sighed, and then said: "I invited the two of you to come to the palace, not to ask for guilt, but to discuss with you the future of Xiqi." ”

Ji Fa is not a mediocre master, he knows in his heart that if he hadn't ordered Jiang Ziya to return to his division to save himself, the army would not have suffered such a defeat. It's just that he never expected that Xiqi would suffer such a heavy loss, which can be described as a great loss of vitality.

The two were shocked when they heard this, and San Yisheng asked cautiously, "What does the king mean?"

Ji Fa glanced at the two of them, and said in a calm tone: "I plan to repair a book, ask for peace with the imperial court, recuperate for ten years, gather human and financial resources, and then enter the world." ”

He thought about it all night before he made up his mind, although the king of the Zhou wanted to burn himself, but Xiqi is not a persimmon to be manipulated, if the king agreed to repair, the two sides would not invade each other, and if they did not agree, only the jade would be burned. Jiang Ziya may not be as good as Deng Jiugong in battle, but if he defends the city, Xiqi City will definitely be as stable as Mount Tai, and there will definitely not be the situation of yesterday's danger.

Jiang Ziya hurriedly said: "The king can't, Shang has only twenty-eight years of luck, and now the number of qi is about to run out, at this time, we must work hard to destroy the foundation of Yin Shang, so that we can win the great cause and the world is stable." ”

The great event of sealing the gods is only halfway through, and now the turtle is shrinking and the west is not out, and the early efforts are not all in vain, how can I explain to my master, how to explain to those teachers and nephews who died on the battlefield.

Ji Fa sneered: "Since the qi is about to run out, why do we come out of the nest, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, but we can't get rid of Deng Jiugong's soldiers and horses." It can be seen that the number of days is impermanent, and the prime minister is also a cultivator, how can he only recognize the number of days and ignore the current situation!"

Jiang Ziya was stunned, he tried his best, but he still couldn't get rid of Deng Jiugong, a fierce rival, it was really strange to say, could it be that Deng Jiugong was so evil, and he changed his life against the sky with the strength of one person.

"Doctor, what do you think? ”

San Yisheng replied: "King, now that Xiqi's troops are insufficient, if you continue to exhaust your troops, I am afraid that you will kill yourself." Moreover, as far as Wei Chen knows, the king appointed Zhang Qian, the chief doctor, as the prime minister, and Weizi jointly govern the dynasty, these two people have great talents, they are unanimously optimistic about Deng Jiugong, thinking that he is the pillar of the country after Wen Zhong, can save the Yin Shang crisis, calm the chaos, so spare no effort to support him. In other words, no one can shake Deng Jiugong's position in Yin Shang, as long as he originally intended, he can completely gather the strength of the entire Yin Shang community to fight against us in Xiqi. ”

These words were extremely calm, but the impact on Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya was extremely huge. The two of them only paid attention to the Xiqi battlefield, but they ignored the changes in the imperial court, and they didn't expect that the mediocre King Xuan would appoint a virtuous man, which was not a good thing for Xiqi.

San Yisheng glanced at Jiang Ziya and said, "Deng Jiugong only has a few generals under his command, and he can compete with my Xiqi and win victories one after another. If he has all the financial resources of Yin businessmen, how can this battle be fought? ”

Jiang Ziya was silent, he knew that his ability was not as good as Deng Jiugong, if the two of them changed identities, he was afraid that he would lose a piece of armor. Could it be that the number of days has changed, and the luck of Chengtang has been continued.

It seems that he wants to go to Kunlun again, and ask the Master to be it.

Ji sighed: "Come again, the sky will not die." Or, Doctor, you prepare a recital for Lonely, and send someone to send it to the court. ”

San Yisheng said: "The minister's decree." ”

Whether it is him personally, or the family behind him, he hopes to assist King Wu to achieve hegemony, but after measuring Xiqi's current manpower and financial resources, he is really powerless, so the wisest way is to recuperate as the king said, and then take the world when the number of business qi is exhausted.

Ji Fa glanced at Jiang Ziya and said, "What does the prime minister think about Gu's decision." ”

Jiang Ziya said: "The king is wise." ”

In his heart, he didn't agree with King Wu's decision, after all, Xiqi didn't have the strength to fight, but even San Yisheng agreed with the king's decision, and he had to agree, otherwise it would only embarrass the king.

Ji Fa Zhengse said: "That's good, in the future, this Xiqi will need to rely on the two Qing families a lot." ”

The two said in unison: "The ministers are willing to share the worries of the king." ”

Ji Fa nodded with satisfaction, glanced out, and saw that it was dark, so he retreated from the two.

......

Seeing that Jiang Ziya was sullen, San Yisheng persuaded: "The prime minister doesn't have to worry about this matter, the king is also worried that Xiqi's national strength will gradually be exhausted in the war, and the country will not exist." I know that the prime minister wants to assist the king to achieve hegemony, so why shouldn't I. ”

"It's just that the general trend of the world, like the sun, moon and stars, sometimes it is bright and the eyes are visible, and sometimes it is hidden in the clouds, and it is chaotic. What we have to do is to wait for changes, and then decide whether to attack, at the moment the Xiqi soldiers are blunt, and it is not appropriate to shoot. ”

These words woke up Jiang Ziya, and he said solemnly: "What Doctor Shang said is very true, Jiang is too obsessed with this matter, and it almost caused a catastrophe. ”

Back then, he fished by the stream for seven years, waited for the king of Wen, became the prime minister in one fell swoop, and led Xiqi to defeat the 20 soldiers and horses one after another, and even the famous Wen Zhong was not his opponent. Now that the situation has changed, no one can change what he thinks about why he can't wait for another ten years, and what King Wu has decided, no one can change.

As for the master, when Xiqi changes are all reported, if it is really impossible to do it, I will not blame myself if I think about it.

San Yisheng said with a smile: "The prime minister can think like this, it is really the blessing of Xiqi and the blessing of the people!"

Jiang Ziya said ashamedly: "Doctor Shang's words have tormented Jiang, Jiang's command is unfavorable, Xiqi has lost nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses, how can the people of Xiqi talk about the blessings, I am afraid that they hate me to death in their hearts." ”

San Yisheng said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, as ordinary people, they must understand that the prime minister does not have to blame himself for this." ”

The two chatted for a while, and then left the palace.
