The Way of Rebirth

But it is said that Chonghou Hu led the army to fight with Xiqi's invading army and horses. After losing his troops and losing his generals, he had no choice but to return to Chongcheng. While marching, he suddenly saw the army flags fluttering in front of him and the dust was flying. When he looked up, he saw countless troops and horses. Chonghou Hu was shocked and thought

The Xiqi army and horse soldiers were divided into two groups, and a large army was specially ambushed and waiting here. When Chonghou Hu was preparing to fight with his sword, he saw the general leading the army and horse galloping towards him with joy.

Look at this general, he has a face like the bottom of a pot, a red beard under the sea, two white eyebrows, eyes like golden bells, a flying beast crown with nine clouds of flames, wearing chain mail, a big red robe on the back, and a white jade belt around his waist.

The flaming-eyed golden-eyed beast wielded two golden axes with a majestic and imposing momentum. When he saw the army and horses returning from fighting in front of him, and the leader was Bei Bohou, he happily urged the golden-eyed beast to sit down and jump forward.

"Brother?" Chonghou Hu was immediately relieved when he saw the visitor, "Brother, I almost frightened you when you led the army."

"What's the matter?" Chong Heihu was a little puzzled when he heard this, so he asked immediately, and then looked at the army and horses behind Chonghou Hu, thinking for a moment.

"To tell you the truth, brother, I fought with the traitors of the Western Zhou Dynasty this time and lost three generals. When I returned from the defeat, I suddenly saw my brother's army and horses suddenly appear. Brother, I thought I had fallen into the bandit's trick. I was frightened, but I didn't expect that I was a good brother.

Come here, but my dear brother is not in Caozhou, how can he come to Chongcheng?" Chonghou Hu said.

"Foolish brother, I was afraid that my brother would be disrespectful in this battle, so I specially ordered fifty thousand troops and horses to come to my aid. I didn't even think about it, but I couldn't catch up, so I frightened my brother here. I should be punished for my fault." Hearing this, Chong Heihu replied with a smile.

road.

"My virtuous brother, you don't have to blame yourself." Chonghou Hu immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Brother, I was very happy to hear that my virtuous brother led the army to help. Please follow me to Chongcheng and rest for one night. I will only wait for the enemy to attack tomorrow before making plans."

After saying this, Chonghou Hu urged his mount to step forward.

"Just follow your brother's orders." Chong Heihu nodded and responded, pulling the golden-eyed beast to follow. The 50,000 troops and horses brought by Chong Heihu also followed Bei Bohou's army to Chongcheng.

The scout investigated carefully and went back to inform him.

"Doctor, why don't you allow me to lead the army in pursuit today?" Nangong Shi sat on the throne in the tent and asked Xiang San Yisheng, "With a fool like Chonghou Hu, our army can definitely win a battle. Moreover, I heard that Chao Ge's army is about to start.

Come all the way here so we can seize the opportunity."

"General, it's too simple." San Yisheng immediately shook his head and said, "Even if we defeat Chonghou's tiger army and horse in a battle today, we may not be able to capture this person, let alone, it will be difficult for us to deal with him if he is captured.

If we kill them, these two hundred princes in the north will definitely become our enemies in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and our purpose of coming here will be defeated. If we don't kill them, the banner we are flying will be laughed at by the people of the world."

"Since this is neither this nor that, we won't let him lead the army back," Nangong Shi said loudly after hearing this.

"General, please rest assured. If this Chonghou Tiger confronts us again, it may be much more complicated. If this Chonghou Tiger leads the army back to Chongcheng, it will be easier for us." San Yisheng laughed loudly after hearing this.

"What do you mean by this, doctor?" Lu Gongwang raised his hands and asked after hearing this.

"I have been in secret contact with Caozhou Hou Chong Heihu, and have written a personal letter to him explaining the matter. This Chong Heihu is an upright person. He has always been very dissatisfied with King Zhou's actions. At first, he thought about Chong Heihu.

After all, Hou Hu and he were brothers, so I couldn't bear to do it, so I wrote another letter to inform him of the righteousness of the world. I said clearly that if this black tiger, Hou Chong of Caozhou, still wanted to help Zhou to commit evil, one day the whole world would rise up and destroy the Shang Dynasty, I'm afraid this Chong

The Chong family will really extinguish the incense. If he can abandon the darkness and turn to the light at this time, even if he endures the temporary pain and kills his brother and nephew, he can still leave an incense for the Chong family to continue." San Yisheng's eyes flashed with light

, explained with a smile…

"It seems that the Marquis of Caozhou must have been persuaded by the doctor to kill his family for justice," Nangong Shi said with great joy after hearing this.

"Yes, I think it would be much better if Marquis Caozhou took action than if we did it," San Yisheng said with a smile, "That's why I stopped you, General, from leading the army to chase Chonghou Hu, because I thought of this."

"But I don't know why this Chong Heihu is better than us?" Mao Gong then looked at San Yisheng strangely and asked, "Is it because this person is the younger brother of Chonghou Hu?"

"Hahaha..." San Yisheng looked up to the sky and laughed, "There are three benefits here, please listen to me slowly: First, Chong Heihu is a minister of the Great Shang after all, how can he sincerely betray him because of a letter?

?So once this Chongheihu kills Chonghouhu, he will have to fight back; secondly, Chonghouhu is the leader of the northern princes. Even though he helps the tyrants to commit crimes and has a lot of infamy, his prestige is not low. If we kill

Without Chonghou Hu, not only the two hundred princes in the north will become our enemies, but also the remaining four hundred princes from all over the world will also be dissatisfied. Thirdly, this Chongheihu is the younger brother of Chonghou Hu, and he is also a member of Caozhou in the north.

Hou, he killed Chonghou Hu and his son Chongyingbiao, and gained great righteousness. Compared with us, he was more suitable to take over the position of Northern Bohou. At that time, even King Zhou had nothing to say."

"Aren't you afraid that the Chongheihu will take charge of all affairs in the north and ignore us?" Zhao Gongxi immediately asked.

"In your opinion, this Chongheihu killed Chonghouhu and took the position of leader of the northern princes. He did not get the consent of the great merchants. According to the law, it is a serious crime of rebellion. You said that when the hearts of the northern princes changed,

"How can Chongheihu survive this crisis?" San Yisheng heard this and asked Xiang Zhaogong.

"It seems that only by obeying us in the Western Zhou Dynasty can we successfully survive this disaster. What a good plan." After hearing this, Duke Zhao thought for a while and then said with a smile, "In this way, not only will the threat from the north of Xiqi be eliminated, but also the threat from the north will be eliminated.

We can also let the merchants go to war with the north and contain some troops in exchange for our development opportunities in the Western Zhou Dynasty."

"Yes, yes." Nangong Shi nodded and smiled after hearing this, "So, the Chonghei Tiger Army and Horse should be in Chongcheng now. If our army doesn't camp and rest, we can only wait for the news about Chongcheng to be sent before we make plans.

how?"

"No," San Yisheng immediately stretched out his hand to stop him, "Our army still needs to go to Chongcheng tomorrow. If we go early, we have to fight with Chong Heihu before we can be safe."

"Why is this?" Nangong Shi heard this and was puzzled.

"If our army does not go to Chongcheng tomorrow, firstly, this Chongheihu will have no reason to stay in the city anymore, and he will be sent back to Caozhou by Chonghouhu. Secondly, this Chongheihu may be in a dilemma when he sees us like this.

, so we have to give him a reassurance," San Yisheng said with a smile.

"It's just what the doctor said." Nangong Shi thought for a while and nodded. Then he stood up and waved his hand, "You guys have a good rest today. The generals and horses will be fed. Our army will be sent to Chongcheng tomorrow."

"According to the order." After hearing this, all the generals in the tent stood up and bowed their hands in response. Then they each left the tent and returned to their own camps.

Here, Di Xin led the army towards Chongcheng. Suddenly, a horseman in front of him, who looked like a scout, galloped up to Huang Feihu, handed a bamboo scroll in his hand to Huang Feihu, and then turned around and left.

Go, Huang Feihu read the contents of the bamboo scroll, and immediately turned the bull's head to urge his mount to march towards the Chinese army.

"Your Majesty," Huang Feihu praised him, "The scouts have found out the information." After saying this, he handed the bamboo scroll in his hand to Lei Kai, who took it and showed it to Di Xin.

"Huh?" Di Xin frowned after reading the bamboo scroll, "Why are there so many useless people under Chonghou's tent?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know what my father has done to make your Majesty so angry?" Chong Yingbiao, who was in front of the army, saw that Emperor Xin looked bad and immediately raised his hands and asked...

"Your father led the army to confront the rebels of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Unexpectedly, he lost three generals in a row. The morale was low, the army was disorganized, and they retreated to Chongcheng." General Di Xin handed the bamboo scroll in his hand to Chong Yingbiao and said, "

I heard that Aiqing is extraordinary in martial arts, but I don’t know how Bei Bohou would accept these useless people as his arms?"

"Your Majesty, calm down." Chong Yingbiao read the intelligence and immediately knew about the war. He immediately raised his hand and said, "All these brave soldiers in the north were sent by my father to guard the border, so most of the generals around him are not skilled in martial arts. The last general

You can fight one against three, but this Xiqi army is coming with great force, and the last general is coming to greet the king, so I have no generals to fight with, so I was defeated just now. Please forgive me for my sins."

"You don't need to blame yourself." Emperor Xin said with a smile when he heard this. "I never thought that Aiqing's martial arts would be so superb. I am so happy that this place with a lot of military in the north can be guarded by a brave person like Aiqing."

"Now that my father has retired to Chongcheng, I am very worried. I beg the king to march quickly to defeat the rebels of the Western Zhou Dynasty and save my father. All I can do is burn incense to show my kindness to the king," Chong Yingbiao said with his hand raised.

"Don't worry, my dear, this letter says that your uncle Chong Heihu has led 50,000 troops and horses to help. He must be in Chong City at this time. With your uncle's ability, how can the Western Zhou rebels attack Chong City?"

City?" Di Xin said with a smile.

"But the general was so anxious that he didn't find out about this. Please forgive me." Chong Yingbiao thought about it and felt that Di Xin's words were very reasonable. Others don't know about his uncle Chong Heihu's ability. Don't you know it too? At the moment

Chong Yingbiao said no more and urged the Wuzui horses to lead the troops to guard the left and right sides.

Seeing this, Huang Feihu raised his head and looked at Di Xin, only to see Di Xin's eyes looking towards the north, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. At that moment, he could only sigh in his heart at Di Xin's clever methods, and turned around to urge the sacred ox forward to lead the army forward.

The words are divided into two parts, and it is said that Jiang Ziya led Bai Jian to return to Xiqi in the clouds, went to the palace to meet Ji Fa, and informed Xibohou of this important event of becoming a god. When Ji Fa heard of such a major event, he ordered five thousand soldiers and handed them over to Jiang Ziya.

, chose a place in the north of Xiqi to build a platform for conferring gods. Jiang Ziya was afraid that thieves would cause trouble, so he released the five gods in his sleeves to supervise the matter.

After the matter of the Conferred God Platform was settled, Jiang Ziya returned to the palace and asked to see Ji Fa, the Marquis of Xibo, saying that they had something important to discuss. When Ji Fa heard about it, he hurried to the inner hall and summoned Jiang Ziya to discuss it.

"Father Shang said there is something urgent, but I don't know what it is?" Ji Fa sat on the throne and looked at Jiang Ziya and asked.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the two hundred princes of Xiqi donated millions of troops and horses. Why are there only more than 400,000 found in the city now, but I don't know where the 600,000 have gone?" Jiang Ziya leaned forward and asked.

"Oh..." Ji Fa was a little embarrassed when he heard this, "But Shang's father asked about this matter. This matter was only because Shang's father went to Kunlun and was not in the Western Zhou Dynasty, so he didn't inform Shang's father. This Nanbohou Eshun came to surrender after the previous army was defeated.

Li Jing's army, which had been missing after retreating from the Western Zhou Dynasty, suddenly appeared in the southern capital, attacked Eshun's army secretly, and joined forces with the great merchant Deng Jiugong to pacify more than a hundred princes in the south. This incident that I thought about was a big surprise to me in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Since this is a major event, we will immediately summon the generals to discuss countermeasures."

"Did someone say that the troops should be divided into two groups to meet the enemy and gain a lot of room for development in the Western Zhou Dynasty?" Jiang Ziya asked immediately after hearing this.

"Yes, someone said so," Ji Fa nodded immediately after hearing the words, "Li Jing's army is stationed in the south, threatening our southeast of Xiqi, and at the same time cutting off the connection between our Western Zhou Dynasty and Donglu, so some people say it's okay

Before the Great Shang's conquest army arrived, he sent troops to seize some key military areas and open up the connection with Donglu. After thinking about it, I felt that this idea was very reasonable, so I discussed with the generals to send out an army of 300,000 to

Zhang Guifang is the commander-in-chief, General Feng Lin is the vanguard, and General Chao Tian and Chao Lei are the supervisors. They go to confront Li Jing's army, seize some important areas for us in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and open up connections with Donglu."...

"What about the other way?" Jiang Ziya asked again.

"Doctor Shi San Yisheng said to Gu that the northern land is always threatening Xiqi's safety. Why not take advantage of the war in the northern border to conquer the north in the name of the world's righteousness? Even if the north cannot be completely occupied, those threats must be eliminated.

"I captured the place in the Western Zhou Dynasty." Ji Fa heard this and said with a smile. "Gu felt that what the doctor said was very reasonable, so he ordered 300,000 troops and horses. He appointed General Nangong Shi as the commander and San Yisheng as the supervisor to go on the expedition.

north"

"San Yisheng has harmed the country." Jiang Ziya heard this and cursed loudly, "All the armies along the way have been destroyed."

"Shangfu's words are too alarmist? There are many words." Ji Fa stood dumbfounded on the spot after hearing the words, and then said awkwardly, "Even though Bei Bohou has strong soldiers and horses, our army has Caozhou Hou Chongheihu as an internal response. I want to

It's easy to capture some important areas, so how can we end up with the whole army wiped out?"

"I don't know, Lord Marquis, but our Xiqi army and horses must not send out before the thirty-sixth route's conquest army is exhausted, otherwise we will definitely end up with the whole army annihilated." Jiang Ziya said loudly at the moment, "The two armies and horses are leaving here.

How can he be an opponent of the elite soldiers and generals of the Great Shang after leaving Xiqi in the expedition? Li Jing was the Duke of Wei of the Great Shang. In the past, he dared to attack Dongyi's 300,000 grain road with 30,000 troops and horses. He was a man of great martial arts, resourcefulness and wisdom.

Isn't Zhang Guifang's army like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?"

"Father Shang, if this is really the case, Zhang Guifang's army has only a short time to set off, so we can hurry up and call him back." Ji Fa said hurriedly when he saw Jiang Ziya stumbled.

"But Nangong Shi's army must have been completely wiped out." Jiang Ziya shook his head and sighed, "The war in the north has been calmed down at this time, and Chonghou's tiger army has returned to Chongcheng. Even though Nangong Shi and other generals won a few battles with extraordinary bravery, but in the north

It is an important border area of ​​Dashang. If you heard that my Xiqi army was going to attack, how could you not send troops to rescue it? Now in Chaoge City, I heard that the Grand Master had returned, and that Marshal Huang Feihu was guarding Chaoge. They went between them

If you get just one person, you can easily swallow up all my troops leaving the Western Zhou Dynasty."

"What should we do?" When Ji Fa heard this, his hands and feet were cold for a moment, and he felt that the world was spinning dimly, as if it was about to collapse. He immediately supported the desk and asked Jiang Ziya, "Father Shang, you want to be resourceful and resourceful.

There must be some way, tell me quickly and come and listen."

"Master Marquis, the distant water cannot save the near fire now. Nangong Shi's army has entered the north. No matter how many methods I can use, it is too late." Jiang Ziya was also helpless at the moment.

"My father-in-law is not capable of soaring into the clouds and mists. What if my father-in-law can ride on the clouds and go to the north to lead the army back?" Ji Fa asked immediately.

"This..." Jiang Ziya lowered his head and thought after hearing this, "I'm afraid my time is running out."

"Father Shang..." Ji Fa was about to speak again to persuade him, but suddenly Zhou Gongdan ran in in a panic.

"Why are you so panicked?" Ji Fa was furious because it was Zhou Gongdan who came up with the idea.

"Master Hou, everything is bad, everything is bad," Zhou Gongdan said out of breath.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Ziya asked with a frown.

"A group of troops and horses appeared outside the city, under the banner of the Great Shang. They were led by the four generals of the Jiamengguan Mo family of the Great Shang. Now they have led an army of one hundred thousand to camp three miles outside the city. I think they will attack the city tomorrow." Zhou Gongdan said calmly.

He said after a moment.

"The four generals of Jiameng Pass are coming?" Jiang Ziya's eyes suddenly flashed with light, "So the retreat of Nangong Shi's army has not been cut off. If the old minister goes to lead the army now, maybe he can come back intact."

"Really?" Ji Fa said happily after hearing this, "In that case, why don't Shang father leave now to lead the army back earlier?"

"I'm afraid it's too late," Zhou Gongdan said suddenly, "The scouts have reported that Jiameng Pass has sent an army to the north. Maybe it is to prevent the return of my Western Zhou army"...

"What?" Ji Fa fell to the ground after hearing this, "Who is the commander of that army?"

"I don't know, but the scouts heard that an old man flew from the sky to Jiameng Pass," Zhou Gongdan said.

"Old man?" Jiang Ziya was slightly shocked, "What is this man riding on?"

"Like a black unicorn," Zhou Gongdan thought for a while and replied.

"Master Wen?" Jiang Ziya was shocked and stood on the spot, "So the one who blocked the return of my Western Zhou army was led by Master Wen."

"What should we do?" Ji Fa was stunned when he heard this.

"Master Marquis, please put up a no-war sign in the city now. I will go to the north immediately," Jiang Ziya said immediately.

"Father Shang, why is this?" Ji Fa felt a little strange at the moment. He found Jiang Ziya's behavior very puzzling. Just now he said that the northern army must be destroyed soon, but now he wanted to go to rescue him.

"I would like to have a fight with Master Wen first," Jiang Ziya said, looking at the north.

"A fight?" Ji Fa frowned when he heard this. After thinking for a moment, he immediately ordered Zhou Gongdan, "Hurry up and hang up the no-war sign on the city wall. Don't let down your guard and just wait for Master Shang's return."

"Yes" Zhou Gongdan took the order and went.

"I don't care if Father Shang is here," Ji Fa said to Jiang Ziya.

"Don't worry, Bohou. I will definitely do my best to save the army." Jiang Ziya said with his hands in hand, then walked out of the inner hall, walked to his house, rode on Si Bu and flew to the north...
