Chapter 290: The Princes' Strategy
The figures of Tongtian and Kong Ru disappeared, leaving only Lao Tzu, Primordial, Jieyin, Zhun Ti, and Nuwa in place. However, Nuwa didn't stay where she was for long, and after Tongtian and Kong Ru left, she also directly said to Lao Tzu and the others, and then left directly and returned to her dojo.
The Zhuxian Sword Formation has been broken, but the final result can't help but make everyone feel that this is a farce. And in this farce, Lao Tzu and the primitive two played an inglorious role. Compared with the embarrassment of Lao Tzu and the original two, there is a trace of joy in the hearts of the two people. The current situation is exactly what they want to see.
People, expounding, and cutting the three sects, Lao Tzu, primordial, and Tongtian, are three saints, and the relationship between the three is close, and they are brothers. And this is the most important factor and the biggest obstacle to Buddhism being able to be trapped in the barren West and unable to spread eastward.
After all, although the relationship between people, interpretation, and interception of the three religions is not harmonious, it is not a hostile existence. Moreover, the three of them are also disciples of Daozu Hongjun, both of whom are Xuanmen, but their resistance to foreign Buddhism is common.
Now that the two religions have completely become enemies, then the future conquests will definitely be more frequent. In addition to this time, the two saints of the two religions owe the cause and effect of the West, then it will be possible for Buddhism to spread to the East in the future.
The embarrassment between Yuan and Lao Tzu only lasted for a while, and the two of them quickly came over with the one and looked at the two of them. Looking at the smile in the eyes of the two that had not been completely concealed, I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart.
The two of them originally just wanted to suppress Tongtian in this tribulation. But now. first shot at the junior, and then broke the Zhuxian Sword Array, and also wanted to snatch the four swords of Zhuxian, such a result is indeed not what the two of them want to see, and it is also beyond the calculation of the two.
The two of them also know a lot about Tongtian's character, so when calculating. It is also known that there will be contradictions among the three. But in the minds of the two, with Tongtian's personality, he just hated the two of them. Some diaphragms are generated, and after a long time, this layer of diaphragm will definitely disappear directly. After all, hundreds, thousands of dollars will get along with each other. Brotherly love. It's not so light, you can forget it, dissipate it.
However, now, in this battle, Tongtian actually broke through the shortcomings in his heart and broke through the restrictions on his cultivation and qualifications. Now Tongtian has become different, and the result of this qiē is no longer a simple layer of diaphragm.
After Nuwa left. Lao Tzu and the primordial have also recovered, and their faces are normal. Lao Tzu's eyes are still so thin. There is still not the slightest turmoil. The primitive face was full of arrogance, dignity, and strong self-esteem, as if he was hiding his own qiē.
However, several people did not stay in place for a long time, but went directly to the direction of Chaoge, outside the Chaoge City, waiting for the arrival of the Zhou army, and also to see what kind of formation Kong Ru and Tongtian were going to arrange, and actually put this formation at the end, is it even more powerful than the Zhuxian Sword Formation? The hearts of the three of them were also full of doubts, and after seeing the strength of the Zhuxian Sword Formation, the four of them also completely put away the contempt in their hearts.
The Zhuxian sword array was broken, the saints left, and the way for the blocker Zhou army to Mengjin City was also presented, and the Zhou army no longer stayed in place, and directly pulled out the camp and marched in the direction of Mengjin. The Zhou army can be said to be very leisurely along the way, except for the resistance received at the time of the five passes, as well as the resistance received by Michi City, the other cities have not suffered much resistance. Moreover, even the resistance encountered was solved by the three generations of disciples of the teaching, and the whole process can be said to be very smooth and very lucky.
Compared with the Zhou army, the resistance of the princes' army was much stronger, and they experienced strong resistance all the way to Mengjin City, and the army was constantly decreasing, and after arriving at Mengjin, they were hit harder, and their strength was less than one-tenth of what they were when they left their respective fiefdoms.
Now that the Zhou army has reached outside the city of Mengjin, the powerful force has made the princes, whose strength has been greatly lost, once again see the hope of success, and see the last hope of getting rid of the shackles. However, when all the princes saw the strength of Xiqi's army, they couldn't help but think about it.
The reason why the princes raised troops to rebel against Yin Shang was not only the policy of the king of Zhou, but also the spied on the rights. Each of these princes wanted to replace the Yin Shang dynasty and obtain greater power. Now the strength of the various princes has been greatly damaged, but the Zhou army is even stronger, such a phenomenon can't help but pay attention to the Zhou army.
Ji Chang gave everyone the impression that he was more virtuous, and this wisdom, in the eyes of these princes, was indecisive and too benevolent. And this has become an opportunity for each prince to be able to share some full strength from the Great Zhou.
As a result, the camp of the Zhou army had just been stationed, and the various princes had gathered outside the camp of the Zhou army, ready to meet Ji Chang, the king of Zhou.
"Great king, outside the great camp, the princes have gathered and said that they want to meet the king. In the royal tent that Ji Chang had just built, a soldier came in and said respectfully to Ji Chang, and it was difficult to hide a joy in his tone.
"Well, Sanyisheng, you go and lead the princes into the tent. Ji Chang thought for a while, and said to San Yisheng in the king's tent.
"What do you think is the reason why these princes are coming, it should not be as simple as just asking for a court. After San Yisheng left, Ji Chang said again, looking at the people gathered in the big tent, he was also very puzzled about the actions of the princes in his heart. These princes, one by one, can break through the cities and checkpoints, and reach Mengjin, they are not simple people, and the ambitions in their hearts are naturally not small. Now there is such a low attitude, and the cattiness in this really can't help but make people think about it and be cautious.
"Father, as far as the child knows, before my Great Zhou came, Chaoge sent an army to come, and severely damaged the armies of the princes, the original millions of soldiers, now there are only hundreds of thousands, only tens of thousands can fight, and only tens of thousands of the three princes in the southeast and north can fight. Now these princes may have come to seek the protection of my Great Zhou, and at the same time they want to obtain certain benefits from it. Ji Fa was the first to stand up and said. Although Ji Chang has been in the army since Michi, the affairs of the army are still handled by Ji Fa. Now Ji Fa is much more mature than in Xiqi City, and the aura on his body is much more stable, and the aura of a superior person is faintly emanating from his body.
"My lord, what Childe said is good. After these, to be able to break through the many passes, cities, and reach Mengjin, none of them are simple, and they all have great ambitions. Now that their strength has been damaged, if they want to rely on us and others, they will definitely seek benefits from it, and they will even want to fight for military power. Jiang Ziya also stood up and said, directly stating the purpose of the princes. In the current situation, the only thing that can make the princes do this is the army and soldiers of the Great Zhou.
"Hmm. Ji Chang listened to the words of the two, and couldn't help nodding, he was also very clear about the faces of the princes, and none of them were so light to give up the full strength in their hands. This time, the army that came from Chaoge must have been sent by the king to weaken the power of the princes, otherwise it would not have taken the initiative to attack suddenly when he and the others did not arrive.
Soon, San Yisheng had already guided the various princes into the king's tent, but only the most powerful of the princes were introduced. After all, the size of the king's tent is very limited, and it is impossible to completely accommodate all the princes. These princes, entering the king's tent, respectfully saluted Ji Chang, showing their willingness to submit, and in the end, they also stated their purpose, that is, they hoped to use some Zhou troops to make up for the power consumed by Yin Shang.
"Since you have surrendered to my Great Zhou, my Great Zhou will surely bless you. As for the army, the soldiers of my Great Zhou are all the people of my Great Zhou, how can Ji Chang abandon them. Moreover, these soldiers are also under the control of various generals, and the cooperation is more tacit, if these soldiers are handed over to you and the main general is temporarily replaced, the strength will not be fully exerted. If you are really not at ease, you can go to Chaoge after I broke the Chaoge City in the Great Zhou, and if you want to come, in this way, there will be no danger. Ji Chang looked at the various princes in the tent and said, his tone was still so gentle, and his face was full of hesitation, but every time he said it, the faces of the princes couldn't help but turn to one side. None of these princes was simple, and naturally they heard a hint of Ji Chang, that is, they would not hand over the soldiers to them.
