Chapter 296: Ambition! Ji Fa's Ambition (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Caozhou's Chonghei Tiger has been in a very bad mood recently, and he is furious at every turn, and he has killed several subordinates who have unintentionally angered him. Because recently, Su Hu and Fei Zhong have teamed up and secretly used a lot of insidious methods, which not only discredited him, but also suffered heavy losses, and it is really annoying that he can't fight back openly.

Some time ago, Su Quanzhong, the son of Su Hu, got married, and the queen mother came to Chongcheng in person, so that all the princes came to congratulate him, and even the Eastern Bohou Jiang Huanchu and the Xibohou Jifa sent envoys to offer generous gifts.

In Chongheihu's view, Empress Su Daji's visit to Chongcheng may also be a demonstration by Su Hu against the princes of the Northland. is reminding everyone that he Su Hu is not only the Zuoding Beihou, but also the current national abbot, the father of the queen, with the exclusive favor of the Son of Heaven for the queen, who else is the position of the Northern Marquis?

What made Chonghei Tiger even more angry was that at the wedding banquet, Su Hu was polite on the surface, but he pretended to be drunk and negligent, and arranged him at a banquet of small princes, which was obviously a humiliation. If it weren't for the presence of the queen mother at that time, Chonghei Tiger would have been angry and walked away.

Fortunately, in addition to the annoying things, Chonghei Tiger still has a comforting thing, that is, Chongying Luan performed very well in the war in Northern Xinjiang, and he overwhelmed Chongcheng and the Second Army of Northern Xinjiang, and has made several meritorious achievements. If it weren't for the fact that the leader of the ghost side was extraordinary, he cleaned up the remnants of the army in time, stood firm, and resumed the confrontation with the merchant army, which would have allowed Chongying Biao to gain greater military achievements.

Soon after Su Quanzhong's wedding, the queen mother returned to Chaoge, and Wen Zhong, who was fighting with the ghost party in northern Xinjiang, issued an order to summon the army to the three Dingbei marquis: Wen Zhong recently defeated the ghost party and asked the three Dingbei marquis to send troops to come and cooperate with the main force of the great merchant to pursue and encircle.

Chonghei Hu has always been very concerned about the war in northern Xinjiang, especially after being squeezed out by Su Hu and Fei Zhong, and has regarded that war as the biggest shortcut to turn over. Regarding the news of Wen Zhong's victory, Chonghei Hu had learned about it through the scouts, and had already mobilized his troops and horses. Even if Wen Zhong didn't issue an order to summon troops, he would take the initiative to ask for help and go to Northern Xinjiang to earn military exploits. Now is a great opportunity, the only thing that makes Chonghei Tiger regret is that Wen Zhong issued an order to the three Dingbei Marquis at the same time, so that. also gave Su Hu and Fei Zhong a chance, but Chonghei Hu was extremely confident in the combat effectiveness of the Caozhou Army, and believed that he could stand out among the three marquis and make great contributions.

Chonghei Hu wanted to go into battle in person, but he was worried that Su Hu and Fei Zhong, the two old foxes, would conspire again when he was no longer in Caozhou, so he immediately ordered his son Chongying Luan to lead 30,000 troops out of the battle. Chongying Luan is skilled in soldiers and horses, and has a lot of experience in warfare with his father, so it is easy to encircle and suppress the war. Coincidentally. Su Hu also sent his newlywed son Su Quanzhong to fight, and as for Fei Zhong, who was originally in northern Xinjiang, he sent his powerful generals Jin Dasheng and Wu Long.

Just when Chonghei Tiger was happy that his son had given Caozhou a big face in the northern Xinjiang. A sudden news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and his joy was smashed to pieces---- Chongying Luan was greedy for merit, too aggressive, and was ambushed by the leader of the ghost party, and as a result, almost all the army was wiped out, Chongyingluan's whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are unknown.

This huge blow was so sudden that Chong Hei Hu was barely mentally prepared: Chongying Biao was old and experienced, and he was by no means a presumptuous person. And Chonghei Tiger also explained many times before going on the expedition, how could he suffer such a fiasco?

Just as Chonghei Tiger ordered a large number of scouts to investigate his son's whereabouts, a mysterious figure asked to see him. I also sent a letter.

The content of the Cambodia made Chong Heihu surprised, this is actually the handwritten letter of his son Chongying Biao, it turns out that Chongying Biao has become a prisoner of the ghost side, and the letter details the process of this ambush. It turned out that someone deliberately leaked the military information to the ghost side, so that the king of the ghost side personally set up an ambush, swallowed 30,000 soldiers and horses in Caozhou in one bite, and captured the main general Chongying Biao.

Chongheihu's gaze fell on the mysterious person who delivered the letter. I saw that this person was ordinary. The body is thin, but the face is calm. Presumably no ordinary messenger.

"Who is your envoy, and what is the purpose of sending this letter to the Lone King?"

The man smiled and said, "Zhang Liang, the official of my king's account, has seen the Marquis of Youding Bei. I came to Caozhou today just to convey my king's intention to marry the king. ”

Chongheihu's mind turned for a moment, and he snorted coldly: "The ghost side is the old enemy of the Great Shang, and the ancestor Gaozong conquered for three years, and finally expelled him far away. Now that you have the courage to offend the power of heaven and invade our northern land again, it is really hateful and punishable! I am the Marquis of the North of the Great Shang, and I am the enemy of life and death with you, how can I be confused by the enemy? Someone! Drag this person down and break his body into pieces!"

At this time, the henchmen outside the door immediately rushed in and dragged Zhang Liang away. Zhang Liang was not afraid, but laughed loudly: "I came here to save you Caozhou, but it is a pity that you are ignorant! Although I am dead now, not only Chongyingluan, but even you, the Marquis of the Right Dingbei, will die soon!"

When Chonghei Hu heard this, he asked Zhang Liang to pull him back, and after ordering him to retreat left and right, he asked: "You can make it clear, if it is reasonable, the lone king will be honored as a guest and sincerely ask for advice;

Zhang Liang said with a calm expression: "King, in fact, the situation of Caozhou is already known to my king, Su Hu and Fei Zhongshi conspired and framed the king everywhere. This time, Gongzi Chongying Luan was trapped, and someone reported it in advance. This person is by no means a scout of our army, but a self-proclaimed Caozhou pro-guard Chongming, who has a grudge because he was punished by his son, so he came to defect. After the great victory of our army, this person was nowhere to be seen, which is very puzzling. ”

Chongheihu frowned and said, "How can there be such a person as Chongming among my Caozhou guards?

Zhang nodded and said: "Ling Gongzi said the same, but the information provided is not false, so it seems that this person is only ......."

With Zhang Liang's guidance, Chonghei Hu suddenly thought of something, and suddenly showed anger: "Could it be that Su Hu and Fei Zhong made people do it? These two people really deserve to die!

Zhang Liang nodded and said, "My king thinks the same way, my king sent his ministers here just to convey the matter. As long as the king helps our people, he will repel Wen Zhong and pacify the cities in the north. Our king will not only send Gongzi Chongyingluan back unharmed, but also divide the northern land equally with the king. ”

Chongheihu was taken aback, and said angrily: "Shut up! I am a great merchant and a courtier, how can I do this great rebellion! You go and tell your lord and quickly return to Chongyingluan, otherwise I will use all the troops of Caozhou to exterminate the ghost party with Master Wentai!"

Zhang Liang did not panic and said: "If the king leaves Caozhou easily. The two marquis will definitely take advantage of the weakness. Moreover, these two people are insidious and vicious, if they use tricks again and leak military aircraft to our army, even if the king has the ability to reach the sky, he will inevitably repeat the things of Chongying Biao. ”

Chonghei Hu knew that Zhang Liang was reasonable, and his anger suddenly subsided. I couldn't help but fall silent. Those two opponents are ruthless, if they collude with foreign enemies and use hidden arrows behind their backs, even if he can fight again, he will not be able to escape calculations, and if he doesn't do it, he will be defeated and killed. Don't say anything about Beibohou at that time, even his life will not be guaranteed.

Zhang Liang took the opportunity to take another fierce medicine: "Don't hide it from the king, my king has reached an agreement with Xibo Houji......

When Chonghei Tiger was in Ji Fa's crusade against Chongcheng, he also had a secret discussion with Jiang Ziya. Now when I hear this, I can't help but be shocked. Zhang Liang lowered his voice and said carefully. Chongheihu's complexion changed again and again, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

However, Chonghei Hu didn't know that the ghost party sent a messenger this time, but Zhang Liang was not alone.

In the Nandi Xiqi tent, Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya are meeting with Cheng Qian, the secret envoy from the ghost side.

This Cheng Qian is the eldest son of the King of Ghost Fang and the heir of the Ghost Fang Kingdom. The purpose of his visit to Ji Fa this time was very simple, that is, to declare himself to Xiqi on behalf of his father, and to voluntarily stay in the Xiqi army to help, and his intention as a hostage was self-evident. To show the sincerity of the ghost party.

The king of the ghost side also wrote clearly in the country where he was officially a minister, and the ghost side admired Middle-earth very much, and wished it for generations to come. He is the minister of Xiqi. He had only one condition, that is, to ask Xibo Hou Jifa to recognize the legitimate status of the ghost party and help the ghost party get rid of the poverty and suffering of generations.

After settling the secret envoy, Ji Fa asked Jiang Ziya, "Father, what do you think?"

Jiang Ziya said with a smile: "The Ghost Fang King sent his eldest son to have a secret meeting with the Great King, which is really a great opportunity for me to Xiqi. Jiang Huan Chu in Dongdi lost his holy favor due to the death of Empress Jiang, and Donglu and Dongqi had long had grievances, and now there is a tendency to be tense. Eshun is now being completely suppressed by our army. He has sent someone to reveal his intention to surrender. If the ghost can defeat Wen Taishi and dominate the north. The king can immediately unite with Jiang Huan Chu and join forces in all directions to defeat Chaoge, and success will be just around the corner!"

Ji Fa was moved when he heard this, but he also asked cautiously: "This ghost king is very good, he can match Wen Taishi, if he invades the northern land, and then has a different heart, wouldn't he be in chaos?"

Jiang Ziya said: "Ghost Fang Su worships the god of the sun and the moon, and has lived in the barren land of the north for many years, and lives in hardship, so he does things that violate the realm. Now that the king of the ghost side is in the country, he swore obedience to the god of the sun and the moon, and sent this undertaker to our army as a proton, which shows his sincerity. ”

When Ji Fa heard this, he knew the meaning of the oath of the sun and moon god in the country, and said happily: "Father Xiang really has seen and heard a lot, how should the lonely king act now?"

"The great king Hugh should be anxious, you must know that the ghost party has always been strong, and it will take three years for the former great merchant emperor Gaozong to conquer the ghost party. If he can really surrender, it will be a great help from the king in the future. In case there is a change in the ghost side, the king just annexes the northern land in the name of conquering foreign races, and it is not difficult to use the current combat strength of our army and the help of the immortals. ”

Jiang Ziya saw Ji Fa's teachable appearance, and said with satisfaction: "The top priority at the moment is to secretly accept the surrender of Eshun and gradually absorb the southern land. As for this ghost...... The king can leave behind the undertakers and send people to the north to reply. If the ghost party can defeat Wen Zhong, completely defeat the merchant army, show its strength, and unify the northern land, the king should agree to the request of the ghost king. ”

Ji Fa understood what Jiang Ziya meant: borrow the power of the ghost side to consume the military strength of the Great Shang and integrate the northern land, and then Xiqi only needs to sit back and enjoy its success. Ji Fa praised Gao Ming, and immediately replied, and the starry night sent someone to the north.

Since the Son of Heaven announced his meditation, all sides of the world have been in turmoil, and I don't know how many of them are under control? How many are unexpected?

More than two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and in these two months, many major events have occurred that shocked the world. It can be said that nothing has changed in the past 20 years so much!

The first incident is the defeat of Wen Taishi's Northern Xinjiang!

Wen Zhong is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, a great merchant and military god, and proficient in the art of war. He has a strange art, and he has been fighting for half his life, and he has never been frustrated. Unexpectedly, now he is defeated by the hands of foreign ghosts!

Wen Zhong's defeat can be described as a great injury, not only was he pursued by the ghost side, but also encountered an ambush by two armies along the way. Fight a bloody way and defeat back to Chaoge.

After the ghost side occupied the northern frontier, it immediately moved south, and what was surprising was that among the three marquis of Dingbei, Su Hu and Chongheihu actually surrendered without a fight. Return to the ghost side together. However, Fei Zhong, who has always been criticized, did not surrender to the enemy with greed, but tried his best to cover Wen Taishi and Fang, and returned to Chaoge together.

Afterwards, everyone understood why Wen Taishi was defeated---- it was all because Su Hu and Chonghei Hu colluded with the ghost party, and the inside and outside should be combined! Even the ambush on the road was the work of these two rebels! For a while, the voices of accusation were endless.

Only then did Chonghei Hu know that Su Hu had already colluded with the ghost party! Now it is difficult to ride a tiger, and there is no turning back, so I have to continue to move forward. Su Hu was also glad that he had obeyed the wind cockroach's plan. Make a decision immediately and subdue the ghost side, otherwise there is an internal response to worship the Black Tiger, let alone a territorial, even if it is difficult to say whether your life can be saved.

With the help of Su Hu and Chonghei Hudi, the King of Ghost Fang quickly swept through the northern land, and everywhere he went, he was invincible. In desperation, the northern princes had no choice but to surrender. Fortunately, the ghost side is not as brutal as the dog Rong, after pacifying the north. Instead of burning and looting, a series of measures were surprisingly enacted. And in accordance with the promise of "dividing the north equally", Chongcheng and Caozhou are the center. Set aside two pieces of territory and return them to Su Hu and Chonghehu for governance.

Compared with the bad news in the north, the second major event should be the "good news". That is, Xibo Hou Ji, who rebelled against Eshun in the south, sent good news, and the Xiqi army defeated the rebels in Nanjun in a row, and finally captured the enemy chieftain Eshun. Eshun felt the benevolence of Xibohou and was willing to surrender.

After Ji Fa won, he left soldiers and horses to garrison Nanjun and integrate Nandi. He led the main squad to rush back to Xiqi. And under the expectations of all. led the army to the Northern Expedition, and the first target was Caozhou.

Chongheihu and Ji Fa have already had a secret discussion. When the Xiqi army comes, you only need to pretend to fight, and then, like Eshun, you can "miss" and be captured, and you can take advantage of the situation to surrender.

However, what Chonghei Hu never expected was that when he was captured by Ji Fa and the Xiqi army entered Caozhou, he was greeted by a full slaughter. After Ji Fa exterminated all the Chonghei Tiger father and son and his clansmen, he quickly appeased people's hearts, explaining that only the first evil was punished, and the rest of the people were forced by the Chonghei Tiger father and son and would not be held accountable. This move was immediately praised by all over Caozhou.

It's a pity that the black tiger worshipped, if he betrayed his brother at the beginning, he still preserved the family's bloodline for the sake of righteousness, but now he surrendered to the ghost side but he betrayed the country to seek glory, and finally ended up ruined and ruined, and the tragic end of the whole clan being wiped out is also deserved.

Ji Fa pacified Caozhou, and the news of the destruction of the Chongmen clan reached Chongcheng, and Su Hu couldn't help but be shocked. Su Hu also knew something about the collusion between Chonghei Hu and Ji Fa, but he didn't expect Ji Fa to cross the river and tear down the bridge, paving the way with the blood of his "ally" Chongheihu. And although he also had an agreement with Xiqi, he was afraid of repeating the mistake of Chongheihu, so he hurriedly summoned the wind cockroach to discuss countermeasures. After all, the cockroach is resourceful, and it didn't take long to think of a solution. Su Hu listened to his advice and immediately publicly surrendered to Ji Fa.

The content of the table is that the reason why Su Hu surrendered to the ghost side was not to save his own life, but for the people of the Northland. It cites the fact that after the ghost party pacified the northern land, it never disturbed the people as the basis to explain his righteous actions. Ji Fa was very appreciative of Su Hu's move, and the ghost side did have the political deeds of the people of Anping, and accepted Su Hu's surrender at the moment.

In this repeated turmoil, Su Hu kept safe, and he couldn't help but trust and admire the wind cockroach more in his heart.

Seeing that Ji sent troops to pacify Caozhou and Chongcheng without blood, the king of the ghost side came to the northern frontier to fight, and immediately raised troops to meet the enemy. Ji Fa ignored the dissuasion of the generals and went to the ghost camp alone to persuade him to surrender. As a result, the king of the ghost side was "intimidated" by Ji Fadi's courage and Weide, and finally surrendered without a fight, expressing his wish to be a vassal to Xiqi for generations.

Since then, Ji Fa has pacified the north and south, and pacified the ghosts and foreign tribes, and his prestige has been greatly shaken. The three major deeds of Caozhou booby trapping and killing the black tiger, Chongcheng accepting Su Hu, and the ghost party alone in northern Xinjiang are famous all over the world and praised by everyone.

However, there are also many discerning people who see the clues from Ji Fadi's "glorious deeds", and then suddenly realize that ---- it turns out that the ghost Fang invaded the big business in the south, and the real supporter behind it is actually Xiqi Ji Fa!

After Ji Fa pacified the north and south, Jiang Huanchu, the Eastern Bohou, finally made a decision. Donglu used the excuse that Dongqi had invaded the border for no reason, and raised troops to counterattack. Dongqi was unwilling to be killed, and sent the generals Zhang Guifang and Fenglin to meet the enemy. At the beginning, the Eastern Qi army relied on Zhang Guifang's magic to gain the upper hand, but the Eastern Lu army also received help from strangers, and as a result, Fenglin was killed, Zhang Guifang was defeated, and retreated, unable to hold out. At present, the two armies are in a stalemate of attack and defense.

Soon, a letter came out, announcing that Ji Fa's ambition was officially revealed.
