Chapter 69: The Two Kings
Ji Chang established the Great Zhou in the Xiqi camp, although some time is pressing, but the momentum is not small, 700,000 troops are concentrated at the foot of Shouyang Mountain, how huge the momentum is, but the big merchant camp has no reaction to this at all, except for the scouts to check, the deputy marshal Huang Feihu and the general Kong Xuan have no intention of sending troops at all.
The two were sitting opposite each other in the big tent of the Chinese army, and Huang Feihu, the king of Wucheng, told about the gods, and after speaking, he said: "Don't blame the general, I only learned about this matter recently, and only the three old ministers knew about it before. ”
"No, this matter is really important, today I can tell you that it is already the grace of the king, no wonder the king does not give the cavalry, this is for fear that I will kill him directly, and then lead to the intervention of the cultivators, but Kong Xuan is not afraid of them. Kong Xuan has a reason for being confident.
"The general's cultivation is known to the king, and the general of the Xiqi Land can be destroyed with one hand, but this matter is related to the saints of the heavens, especially the general. Before Huang Feihu set out on the expedition, Sun Ming talked to him once, and he talked about Kong Xuan's catastrophe.
"Me?" Kong Xuan wondered, he was a quasi-saint cultivator, who could hurt him? Could it be that the saint could not do it directly?
"Yes, the general has a fate with the great merchants, and cause and effect are implicated, and this catastrophe is not the same as before, the heavenly saints will also take action, and the general's catastrophe should be among the saints, the specific is unknown. ”
"That's what the Holy Master said?"
"Not bad. ”
"I see, it seems that my Kong Xuan's cultivation is still not enough, after this war, Kong Xuan also needs to return to the mountain to practice, and the cause and effect of the mortal world should also be over. Kong Xuan said.
Huang Feihu did not express his opinion, this is a matter of cultivators, although he studied art with Wen Zhong, but he learned the art of war and martial arts, not cultivation, he has no regrets about this, and he is not determined to do so.
Later generations said: "Only the gods in the world are good, only the gods are happy!" But this is not the case with the flood famine, people see more about cultivators, and not everyone wants to cultivate, and there are not many people who seek the Tao like Jiang Ziya.
The armies on both sides did not move, they had their own things to do, and the two sides were like neighbors who did not get along with each other, each doing their own thing, and time passed like this, and Sun Ming's army finally came to Bishui Pass.
"King, you will go out of the customs tomorrow and go to Jinjiling in one day, I don't know how to settle the army?" asked Taishi Wenzhong.
Sun Ming had already planned, "The army is placed in Bishui Pass, there are 300,000 troops in front of it, it is enough, there is not much need, the army is training here, the Taishi is in charge of here, the five passes are all under the dispatch of the Taishi, and all the general soldiers will go with Gu to crusade against Xiqi." ”
"This ...... My lord, according to intelligence, Xiqi has 700,000 soldiers, so we do not have an advantage in numbers. ”
"Hehe, Taishi forgot, the war is just a beginning, the decision is no longer these soldiers, they are just after the end of the top-level combat power, to clean up the battlefield, go to the more but the loss is quite large, now 300,000 is just right. Sun Ming smiled.
Wen Zhong suddenly felt that if the battle between cultivators was not done well, it would affect mortals, and if there were too many troops in this way, the losses would inevitably be heavy, and Bishui Pass was different, not only was there enough place to accommodate so many troops, but it was also able to stay away from the main battlefield, and the speed of support was not slow, especially the cavalry.
"Won't the king bring cavalry?"
"No, isn't there 20,000 cavalry there in King Wucheng? It's enough to use, now I can go with the general soldiers from all walks of life, the old lady is here to sit in town, and build Bishui Pass into a logistics supply place for the army, everything must be careful." ”
Sun Ming's carriage set off, accompanied by the general soldiers from all walks of life, with not many soldiers, only three thousand elite close guards, and Shen Gong Leopard also rode his black panther to follow the side. Li Jing, the chief soldier of Chentangguan, was also in the team, but his eldest son and second son did not follow this time, Sun Ming knew that it must be their master who called them back to the mountain, and it was not good to make the scene of father and son cannibalism in front of the two armies.
However, Sun Ming did not let them fight to the death, after all, it was the general soldier under his own command, and it was the human race, he naturally would not sit idly by, and now the three generations of disciples who expounded the sect did not know what to do, but they had snatched a lot, did they still have anyone available?
A day later, Sun Ming came to the Jinjiling camp, where Huang Feihu, the king of Wucheng, and Kong Xuan, the general, greeted him, and the big tent of the Chinese army became Sun Ming's place, he sat on the main seat, and there were generals on both sides.
"Sit. Sun Ming asked everyone to sit down before asking, "How is Xiqi doing?"
Kong Xuan got up and clenched his fists, "King Qiyu, the rebel Ji Chang founded the country a few days ago, and the country is called Zhou." ”
"What? The traitor dares to do this?" Zhang Guifang, the chief soldier of Qinglong Pass, jumped up, and his angry expression was all written on his face, he was not specially recruited, Qinglong Pass was in the north, and he was responsible for the original defense of the northern princes, and now he is not needed, but he is still stationed there, and he is the only one in this transfer. This person Sun Ming is very optimistic, because he is loyal and loyal to the big business.
In the book "Fengshen Bang", Xiqi recruited him, but he killed himself, which is considered to be loyal, and now he has such a performance, Sun Ming does not think that he is acting intentionally.
"Mr. Zhang is a little restless, this matter is expected, and when the time comes, there will naturally be a time when Mr. Zhang will go out to fight against him. ”
"The last general is reckless, thank you for the king's relief. Zhang Guifang knew that he was rude, but the king not only did not blame, but also comforted him, so he was very moved.
"It doesn't matter, how can the person who leads the troops not have a trace of anger, it is understandable, and Zhang Zongbing is so loyal, he is very relieved in his lonely heart. Sun Ming said with a smile, which made all the generals feel very comfortable. Sun Ming continued: "Since Ji Chang established the country, now they want the two countries to fight? ”
"The king, don't you value them too much? Shen Gongbao said angrily.
"Hehe, national teacher, now it doesn't matter if you say this, there is no difference between me and Ji Chang in essence, I am safeguarding the interests of the royal family, he is safeguarding the interests of Xiqi, and now the contradictions between the two are irreconcilable, so there is only one war, there is no need to say anything about the chaotic ministers and thieves, there is no problem if they want to establish a country, we will eliminate it, it doesn't matter." Sun Ming said that the clouds are light and the wind is light.
"The king is wise. "Shen Gongbao admires this king very much, he still doesn't know that the king is a cultivator.
"The king is wise. "The morale of the generals is like a rainbow, and when it is extinguished, it is said that it is light and light, without the slightest anger, but it sounds like a boost.
Early the next morning, Sun Ming was still dressed in the Nine Curtain Emperor's Crown, the Shanhe Society Robe, and the Pingtian Sword, riding on the carriage, with the Wufang Seal on it, and ordering 100,000 troops directly out of the camp and heading towards Shouyang Mountain.
The Xiqi spies hurriedly went back to report it, and when Sun Ming arrived at the most open place in the middle region, the Xiqi army was already arrayed, and there were no less than 300,000 people in sight.
Sun Ming's frame did not stop, and he came directly to the central place, the army behind him was arrayed, the general soldiers and Shen Gong Leopard were lined up in front, Sun Ming was just a car, only the servants who drove were not guarded, so they came directly to the center in front of the formation, "Ji Chang, come out to see Gu." Sun Ming sat in the car and called Ji Chang directly.
Ji Chang didn't have this pomp, he could only ride a horse out of the ranks, Jiang Ziya wanted to follow, but was stopped by Ji Chang, "Prime Minister, this is a meeting between two kings, don't be afraid!" Ji Chang rode a horse directly to the opposite side of Sun Ming, but the momentum was not at the same level at all.
"Lone heard that you have established a country, and there is no invitation to send it, so Lone can come to congratulate you. Sun Ming looked at Ji Chang with a smile.
Ji Chang sat on the horse, his body was very straight, but no matter how straight it was, it was no longer than the frame, "I was negligent and forgot to give you an invitation." ”
"Haha, Ji Chang, Ji Chang, you are so lonely that you are also skilled, you have thought about such a scene for many years, right? The world says that you are friendly and friendly, but now it seems that you are also a sanctimonious person, and you have a heart of disobedience, but you are too forbearing, you are obviously proficient in the art of divination, you must know your future, such a scene is already in your hexagram, isn't it?" Sun Ming said that the generals and ministers on both sides could hear it clearly, and some people thought about it, right!
"Di Xin, if it weren't for the fact that you wanted our ancestral land, what reason would I have to oppose business?" Ji Chang asked with a flat face.
"Oh...... Are you rebelling?" Sun Ming smiled disdainfully.
Ji Chang was stunned, he was careless, anti-business was originally a topic that he wanted to avoid, but now he actually said it himself, this Di Xin is really treacherous.
Sun Ming said again: "Okay, these are just a battle of interests, but Ji Chang, you might as well be lonely, Lone can make the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, but you can't, now although you have integrated the two hundred princes of the West, even if you win the world, you still have to divide it, and you can't solve the drawbacks of the land, so this battle will be won by Lonely, and the hearts of the people in the world are Lonely." ”
"What you said is right, but people can't win the sky, the will of heaven is like this, your great business will be exhausted, and you will definitely be defeated. "Ji Chang naturally won't show weakness.
"Haha, yes, Dashang is indeed running out of gas, but is Dashang ending in your hands?" Sun Ming asked rhetorically.
Ji Chang was stunned for a moment, what kind of truth is this? No longer end it in your own hands, can't you end it yourself, "Di Xin, what are you talking about?"
"You don't deserve to know, to put it bluntly, Lone's opponent is not you at all, you are just a chess piece, in Lone's eyes, you have never been Lone's opponent, you can stand here and talk to Lone today, it's not that you are accurate in divination, but Lone wants you to stand here, you remember, that's all, drive back. After Sun Ming finished speaking, he directly asked the servants to drive back, leaving Ji Chang in a daze.
The two kings met, so the gods officially began, and the war was about to break out.
