Chapter 361: The Great Shang Sends Troops to Attack Yizhou
Inside the castle.
"Su Hu, a chaotic minister and thief, I just asked him to sacrifice a daughter, he actually dared to openly rebel, I want to divide his five horses into corpses, and I want to punish his nine clans. The King roared as he sat on the dragon chair in the main hall.
"The king is angry!" the ministers below knelt down before the king.
After listening to the words of the ministers below, the anger that had already gone down rose again, and he roared angrily at the ministers below: "Su Hu, a chaotic minister and thief, has openly provoked me, how can I calm my anger?"
After scolding angrily for a while, he stopped, and he pointed at Shang Rong and said, "How should Aiqing attack Yizhou?"
Before Shang Rong could speak, Bigan stood up and persuaded: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it is not worth offending the two marquis for the sake of a woman, so ......"
After listening to Bigan's words, the king of Xu, who was angry, immediately scolded him: "Bastard, I asked you to tell you how to attack Yizhou, not for you to speak for him. ”
"Come on!" After scolding Shang Rong, King Xuan pointed to Fei Zhongdao beside Bigan.
Fei Zhong was able to pat himself on the back because of his beautiful women and sycophants to the king of the Emperor, and his status rose rapidly, and in just a few months, he was promoted from a petty official to an official position similar to that of Bigan.
"The minister thought that the king could order Chonghou Hu and Xibohou Jichang in the north to send troops to attack Su Hu. Fei Zhong stepped forward and replied respectfully.
"Oh, tell me your reasoning. After listening to Fei Zhong's words, the King of Xuan showed an expression of interest on his face.
"Great King, there are two advantages to doing this, one is that Su Hu is anti-Shang for the sake of Xibohou, if Xibohou sends troops to quell the rebellion, it can hit Su Hu's morale. The second is to test Xibohou Jichang, recently there are always rumors among the people that Xibohou Jichang accumulates good deeds, politicizes great deeds, and is a virtuous person. The king could take this opportunity to test him, and if Xibohou sent an army, he would ruin his reputation, and if he did not send an army, it would show that he had a different heart, and get rid of him as soon as possible. ”
After hearing Fei Zhong's words, Bigan looked at Fei Zhong with some surprise, he thought that Fei Zhong was just a person who liked to slap horses, but he didn't expect him to say this opinion today, which made Bigan a little impressed.
"Haha! Okay, I'll do what Aiqing says!" After hearing Fei Zhong's words, King Xuan laughed happily.
A few months later, the angel came to Xiqi with a divine decree.
Ji Chang was deducing the innate gossip in the house this day, but not only why, he was always upset, and it was difficult to calm down. Just when Ji Chang was restless, there was a sudden urgent knock on the door, and Ji Chang asked with some annoyance, "Who is it?"
"Something bad happened to my father. Ji Fa's anxious voice came from outside the door.
After Ji Chang heard Ji Fa's words, he chuckled in his heart and hurriedly went to open the door. Ji Chang opened the door, looked at Ji Fa who was anxious, and asked, "Why are you so flustered?"
"Father, the king, sent an angel to announce the decree, and the child heard that it seems to be related to Su Hu, what should we do?" Ji Fa hurriedly told Ji Chang about the matter.
"Don't panic, let's go meet the angel first. Ji Chang thought for a moment and spoke.
An hour later, a group of Xiqi officials, led by Ji Chang, went outside the city to greet the angel.
The angel came near, took out the holy decree, and said, "Xibohou Jichang takes the decree." Ji Chang and the others hurriedly knelt down to receive the order.
I only heard the angel recite: "The edict said: I heard that the distinction between the crown and the performance is strict, and there is no two ways to make things, so the king is called and does not take the command; the king gives death, but does not dare to return to his life; I don't protect Su Dao, I am rebellious and rude, I am at ease and traitor, and my sin is unforgivable. Ci Er Ji Chang and other festivals, act cheaply, punish their grievances, do not have leniency, and the crime will be rewarded. Therefore, I hereby send you an edict to go. Greatly. Shane. ”
After the angel finished reading, Ji Chang and the officials thanked him. The angel handed over the decree to Xibohou Jichang and took the people away.
"What should we do about this matter of Yi Kao?" After Ji Chang came back, he invited Bo Yi Kao to discuss with Ji Fa.
Bo Yi Kao didn't want to answer, but when he saw Ji Chang's face: If you can't satisfy me this time, I will make you look uneasy in the future. Bo Yi thought for a while and then said, "Father, we must not send troops, otherwise someone will make a fuss about this." ”
"I'm afraid this is the temptation of the King of Su to us, if we don't send troops, I'm afraid that the King of Su will destroy Su Hu, and the next one will be us. ”
As soon as Bo Yi Kao's words were finished, before Ji Chang could speak, Ji Fa took the lead in asking. After listening to Ji Fa's words, Ji Chang nodded in agreement.
Bo Yi Kao glanced at Ji Fa, and then spoke again: "Father, I heard that Chonghou Hu has a reckless personality and is very happy, we can secretly send someone to inform Chonghou Hu: We Xiqi will send troops later, and give him all the credit this time, so that he can quickly quell the rebellion." In this way, Chonghou Hu will definitely do his best to attack Yizhou and capture Yizhou before we send troops. At that time, I, Xiqi, will be able to dispel the king's concerns and save my father's reputation. ”
After Ji Chang listened to Bo Yi Kao's words, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise: "This plan is very good!" After Ji Fa listened to Bo Yi Kao's words, although his face also showed a happy expression, his heart was gloomy.
"Yi Kao's father was originally a little worried about whether you could take on the big responsibility, but now it seems that my father looks down on you. Ji Chang looked at Bo Yi Kao with satisfaction.
"My father won the prize. ”
Bo Yi Kao's praise for Ji Chang still had that indifferent expression on his face. And after Ji Fa heard Ji Chang's words, the smile on his face was a little reluctant.
After Chonghou Hu received the secret letter from Xibo Hou Jichang, he immediately laughed, since he knew that Su Hu was anti-Shang, he immediately knew that this was a good opportunity, he sent people to take the gold, silver and jewelry non-stop, to the court to bribe Fei Zhong, the favorite of the king of Zhou, and Fei Zhong's words in the court were all taught by Chonghou Hu.
Yizhou was originally used by the first emperor to balance Chongzhou, but due to the age and the deliberate reckless character of the Chonghou Hu family, everyone forgot the role of Yizhou. In order not to attract attention, he also deliberately recommended Xibohou, but he didn't expect Xibohou to send troops and let him attack the city alone, which was a godsend, he immediately brought all the soldiers in Chongzhou, and prepared to take Yizhou in one go.
Chonghou Hu has some guesses about Xibohou's thoughts, but he doesn't care, as long as he can win Yizhou, he can attack, retreat and defend, and in the future, whether it is Dashang or Xiqi, he will only win him over, he can wait for the price and sell, and even have the opportunity to win the supreme position.
When the people of Yizhou heard that Chonghou Hu was coming to attack, they immediately panicked, and many people fled from Yizhou with their families. Chonghou Hu is a greedy and tyrannical husband, raising troops to go on an expedition, and the places they pass through will be brutalized, and the people will be miserable, so the people of Yizhou will flee as soon as they hear the name of Chonghou Hu.
