Jiang Ziya commanded the army to retreat, the formation was scattered, and Kong Xuan was also very sorry, there was no cavalry in hand, otherwise a direct impact could directly destroy 100,000 enemy troops, but since the king did not give him cavalry, he could only give up.

Kong Xuan knows too little about the gods, even if he defeats Jiang Ziya today and destroys all the 100,000 troops, then he can't do anything about Jiang Ziya, so he may still put himself in a deep crisis, which is also an important reason why Sun Ming does not give the vanguard cavalry.

Sun Ming knew that Kong Xuan's cultivation was profound, and at the same time, the arrangement of troops was also quite clever, if the cavalry was put in his hands, he might directly enter Xiqi, although mortals opened the catastrophe, but mortals are not the decisive force, and now is not the time for mortals to fight a decisive battle.

Kong Xuan saw that the soldiers of Xiqi had retreated, and he did not chase after him, stopped the army, and then ordered to tidy up the camp, there are not many places where Jinjiling can be stationed, there are many mountains, many waters, and dense mountains and forests. And the garrison here is relatively open, and it is also the best place, "Pass the order to go down, transfer 3,000 infantry troops and 3,000 crossbowmen to go out for three miles to guard, scouts follow Jiang Ziya's army, see where they are placed, and then report immediately, the army will tidy up the camp, let the soldiers rest for one night first, and rearrange the camp tomorrow." ”

It is impossible to fit a million troops here, and it is necessary to find another place to place the army, so that it can only advance, but the task given to him by the king is to garrison this place, and now he does not need to rush to find a place to stay.

At this time, the people had already followed with their baggage, and immediately began to tidy up the camp, and the fireheads of the various units of the army were also cooking in the pot, and a hot dinner was what they needed most now.

Jiang Ziya was embarrassed and rushed to the foot of Shouyang Mountain with the army overnight, there was a large camp that had been prepared long ago, after all, he did not think about occupying Jinjiling and fighting against the Chaoge army there, after all, the terrain was too complicated and not suitable for the army to fight. And the strategy of this sneak attack, Jinjiling is just a transit station, I didn't expect to lose the first battle.

In the camp, Bo Yi Kao, as the eldest son, accompanied the army on behalf of his father, and Ji Fa also came with him, and when he saw the army returning in embarrassment, he hurriedly went out to greet him, "Prime Minister, what's wrong?" Bo Yi Kao asked. Bo Yi is quite pedantic, too kind and weak, and is not the best candidate for succession, Ji Chang is more optimistic about Ji Fa, but Ji Fa does not show any ambition.

Jiang Ziya's face was ashamed, "Eldest son, the old man made a mistake, I didn't expect Kong Xuan to be so powerful, he saw through my ambush plan at a glance, and killed a horse pistol at night, and attacked our army station, but fortunately, they worked the expedition, and they were unable to pursue, and our losses were not big." After Jiang Ziya finished speaking, he looked back, the number of troops is indeed quite large, but it has not been counted yet.

Bo Yi Kao comforted Jiang Ziya and said: "The prime minister doesn't have to mind, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, that Kong Xuan is also a general of Chaoge, I don't think he is a reckless man, the prime minister will go to rest first, and my second brother and I will sort out the army here." ”

Jiang Ziya went down to rest, while Bo Yi Kao and Ji Fa were responsible for sorting out the army, and finally counted the losses, but the losses were more than 4,000 people, most of these soldiers were soldiers living in the front camp, and they were left behind by the first wave of attacks in Kong Xuan's sneak attack, regardless of the dead or wounded, they were unable to escape.

"Big brother, it seems that the outcome of this war with Chaoge is really unpredictable!" Ji Fa said worriedly.

"Second brother, it's okay, Prime Minister Jiang Cheng just lost the first battle, and he didn't lose much, and he won't fight again in the future, now there is a key question Have you thought about?" asked Bo Yikao.

"What did the eldest brother say about the founding of the country?" Ji Fa understood after thinking about it, now the confrontation against Chaoge is a chaotic minister and thief, even if the banner is played, but the people will not support you when they hear it, after all, the name of the traitor is not good!

"Yes, now the two hundred princes of the West are gathered, but everyone has the hat of a traitor on their heads, and the relationship is just an alliance, and there is nothing in normal times, but if Prime Minister Jiang Cheng is defeated like this, then someone will inevitably jump out to fight for power and profit, so I think it is better for me to establish a country in Xiqi." Bo Yi Kao said his thoughts, and Ji Fa also nodded.

"The eldest brother is right, in this way, we and the Great Shang are equal and antagonistic, and the two hundred princes in the West are now difficult to ride a tiger, and they need to bow down when the time comes. ”

"Tomorrow, we will go to discuss with the prime minister, and when the time comes, we will directly neutralize the country in the camp of the former enemy, and it can be regarded as establishing the country by force. ”

The next day, both sides were very calm, Kong Xuan began to let people expand the camp, the specific number of troops here is unknown, but the camp should be as large as possible, but not too close to the edge of the surrounding mountains, so very dangerous, easy to be attacked, can only be as much as possible. The army divided into several waves, some resting and some patrolling, while the rest dispersed and began to cut down trees along the surrounding hillsides.

The trees were sent to the camp, where they were processed using tools, and then the camp walls, horses, arrow towers, etc., were built, and the view of the lookout posts in the camp was broadened. The defense of the battalion is comprehensive, and it can be seen that Kong Xuan is now also a real general, not a quasi-saint cultivator.

There was also silence in the Xiqi camp, but the waves were not small, the news of Jiang Ziya's defeat spread, and then it spread more and more widely, and the more outrageous it became, and in the end there was already a large army annihilated, and Jiang Ziya was seriously injured and dying.

It is certain that some of them are fueling the troubles, and in this regard, Bo Yi made up his mind and directly found Jiang Ziya and told him his thoughts.

"Alas, it's all to blame for the incompetence of the old man, originally I wanted to take the opportunity of ambushing the former army of the Great Shang to come back with a great victory and let the lord ascend the throne. Jiang Ziya's face was annoyed, it was not good to go out of the school, this is a taboo for soldiers.

"The prime minister had already had such an idea, so good, and this failure was not rewarding. Ji Fa said on the side: "This can make us see the movements of the princes from all walks of life more clearly, and those who have different intentions will be directly eliminated, and now the military power is in our hands." Get rid of them, and the rest will naturally agree to the fact that my father is king, just killing two birds with one stone, isn't it better than defeating?"

"The second son is witty, and the old man understands, so he will write to the lord of the country. Jiang Ziya heard that it made sense, no poison and no husband, Bo Yi was a little unbearable, but finally agreed, after all, the prime minister and the second brother both advocated so, and he did not insist on his own opinion, the gap between him and Ji Fa was here.

Then a letter of Jiang Ziya's persuasion was sent to Xiqi City, but there was a bloody storm in the camp of Shouyang Mountain, more than 30 princes were killed, and the strength of the shock can be imagined, and then Ji Fa came forward to tell the benefits of establishing a country, and then waited for the attitude of other princes.

People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, in this case, even if they don't agree, what can they do? At the beginning, in order to fight against Chaoge and keep their fiefdoms, they handed over their military power to Xibohou Jichang, but they didn't expect that today would be such a result, but Boyi made a promise for his father Ji Chang that their respective fiefs would not be moved, and they would never be deprived, so they could be regarded as an agreement.

The atmosphere in Xiqi City was relatively relaxed, and the people didn't know about the arrival of the Chaoge army, they were still living their lives, and Ji Chang was watching Jiang Ziya's recital in the council hall.

"What do you think, let's talk about it!" Ji Chang passed the watch down.

After reading it, San Yisheng said: "Lord, this matter is indeed imperative, otherwise if the name is not right, it will not be good, and if it is not good, it will not be successful, and the name of the thief is too ugly." The ministers below chimed in.

"Okay, according to the prime minister's wishes, in the former enemy camp, the country name is Zhou, and I will meet him in Da Zhou. Ji Chang directly agreed, at this time, there was no push, time was pressing, before the arrival of the main force of the big business, it was inevitable to complete the establishment of the country, so the two sides directly died down. On the one hand, he didn't want to fight, and on the other hand, there was no order, so the place was quiet again.

Five days later, the second army of Huang Feihu, the king of Wucheng, arrived, and Kong Xuan went to greet him, "The last general will see the deputy marshal." ”

"The general is exempt from courtesy, and the general has made his first contribution, which is gratifying. Huang Feihu, the king of Wucheng, knew Kong Xuan's ability, so he didn't dare to support him, so he hurriedly dismounted and helped him.

"Don't dare to take credit, this is the place where I used to guard, naturally everything is clear in my heart, and I may not be able to see through the other party's plan if I change places. Kong Xuan was modest.

"Why should the general be modest, but the king arranged for you to be the vanguard officer, and I think I also took a fancy to this. ”

"The king is indeed wise, but he didn't come with cavalry this time, otherwise he Jiang Ziya might not have returned. Kong Xuan tested it, Wucheng King Huang Feihu's army brought cavalry, although there were not many, but if he had this cavalry in hand at that time, then the results would be rich.

Wucheng King Huang Feihu looked left and right, and then said: "This matter is not in a hurry, let's go into the camp and talk about it, there are also some things to tell the general to know." Kong Xuan comprehended and took them directly to the camp, this time living in an army of 200,000 at once, so the camp was full.

The two were about to go to the big tent of the Chinese army to talk, when the direction of Shouyang Mountain was actually drummed, and its sound actually reached Jinji Ridge, which shows the huge momentum there.

It takes five days to prepare so much Xiqi is richer, otherwise it is really impossible to have such a big momentum, Kong Xuan frowned, and looked into the distance, he didn't use spells, and now he is very used to the life of an ordinary person.

"General, what's that sound?"

"Deputy Marshal, this is the sound of drumming, I think something should happen to Xiqi, how to do it, let's just wait for the scout to report. ”

"Okay, let's talk about things first, they can do whatever they want. ”
