Chapter 798 Shen Gongbao Is Helpless, Jiang Ziya Wins for the First Time [Sixth Update]
Seeing the petition of all the people, Ji Chang seemed to understand what a smart person Ji Chang was. He instantly realized that his own idea was not wrong, but it was wrong. His failure to send troops was not because of his sincerity, but because of his foolish loyalty. , I am ashamed of the people of the world.
He raised an army to attack Chong Heihu, which would only benefit the people, so that was enough. As for betraying the Shang Dynasty, as long as he did not openly confront the army sent by Chaoge, as for other princes, he had the right to do so. People crusade.
"A gentleman has something to do and something not to do. I think your majesty has already seen the petition of all the people. Please let your majesty rule!" Jiang Ziya looked at the cries of the people. He thought of the refugees he met when he passed through the five passes. He was forced to flee by King Zhou.
Ji Chang looked at Wan Min and said in his heart: "I have made up my mind to send troops to the city. You all should go back!" After speaking, Ji Chang turned around and returned to the palace and walked towards the main hall. No matter what, this time, Ji Chang is about to send troops.
After the people were grateful, they gradually left the palace gate. Jiang Ziya and other civil and military officials also returned to the hall. Seeing Ji Chang's face was gloomy and uncertain, the officials did not dare to speak, but Jiang Ziya did not show any fear. .
"Soldiers are valuable and can be dispatched tomorrow. What do you think, Your Majesty?" Jiang Ziya asked Ji Chang. After all, it would be better for Ji Chang to nod personally for such a big matter, otherwise he, a minister, would have gone too far.
"Send troops tomorrow!" Ji Chang frowned, and then said: "Isn't it too fast? Why don't we make plans after a month? What do you think?"
When Jiang Ziya heard this, he knew that Ji Chang had hesitation in his heart. His determination just now was made under the pressure of all the people. Although he did not regret it now, he wanted to delay the dispatch of troops.
"Your Majesty, no, sending troops one day late may delay the opportunity to fight. I have received news that Chongheihu has gone to Chaoge to ask King Zhou for orders to repair Lutai. Now is a good time to attack Chongcheng." Jiang Ziya was a little anxious. said.
Ji Chang pondered for a moment and said, "Since the prime minister said he would send out troops tomorrow, who should be in charge?" After Ji Chang said this, he looked at Nangong Shi. After all, Nangong Shi was Xiqi's general.
Seeing Ji Chang looking at him, Nangong Dudu stood up and said respectfully: "I am willing to serve your majesty even if I die."
When Jiang Ziya saw Nangong Shi coming out of the queue, he walked over and said to Nangong Shi, "This time, there is no need for General Nangong to take action. Shang can take command."
All the civil and military officials in the court were shocked when they heard this. You, a civil servant, are not going to be in command or go on an expedition. This battlefield is not as good as the court. You can use your sharp tongue at will. However, on the battlefield, the enemy I won't give you a chance to talk nonsense.
Ji Chang was a little helpless. It was unreasonable that Jiang Ziya wanted to go out in person. However, Ji Chang also wanted to see Jiang Ziya's ability to mobilize troops, and also wanted to see if Jiang Ziya really had the ability to be a great sage.
But Ji Chang was afraid that Jiang Ziya was too murderous and would kill innocent people indiscriminately. He immediately said, "Since the Prime Minister wants to go out in person to take command, it's not okay. I will go with him."
Suddenly, all the ministers in the hall were confused. They were all wondering what happened to these two big men. They all wanted to go to war. However, Jiang Ziya's words below made all the ministers break out in a cold sweat. .
"It is not a bad idea for your Majesty to lead the expedition in person, but there are ministers on the battlefield to mobilize, and your Majesty is not allowed to interfere." Jiang Ziya said something shocking. He monopolized the military power, which was a great disrespect to the monarch.
Ji Chang had no choice but to agree. Since Ji Chang was accompanying him, it was obvious that he would not be able to go out tomorrow, so he could only postpone the dispatch of troops for one day, so that Hou Jiang Ziya could order Nangong Shi to lead three thousand guards to protect Ji Chang's surroundings.
Jiang Ziya, on the other hand, appointed Wu Ji as a vanguard officer and led an army of 50,000 people to advance first, striving to reach the gate of Chongcheng within three days, waiting for the arrival of the army to attack the city.
Jiang Ziya personally led an army of 100,000 to follow Wuji. Under Jiang Ziya's urging, the army arrived eighty miles away from Chongcheng on the second day. That night, Jiang Ziya let the army have a good rest and prepare to attack the city tomorrow.
I don’t know if it’s Chong Heihu’s misfortune or Shen Gongbao’s bad luck. Shen Gongbao just came from Chaoge, and Chong Heihu went to Chaoge. After Shen Gongbao arrived in Chongcheng, he discovered traces of Jiang Ziya’s army. .
Shen Gongbao was overjoyed. Even if he ordered the army in Chongcheng to use the quicksand and stone strategy and wait for Jiang Ziya to attack the city tomorrow, Shen Gongbao thought that even if Jiang Ziya brought an army of 300,000, he would not be able to withstand the quicksand and stone strategy.
But what makes Shen Gongbao angry is that the guard here still doesn't take him as a national master seriously. He doesn't listen to Shen Gongbao's orders at all. Instead, he drinks and behaves as usual. He thinks that Shen Gongbao's statement is just looking for trouble. So many rebels.
Besides, even if Xiqi's army arrives, sentries will have already come to inform them. You, a national advisor, are just a magic stick. You don't know how to fight.
Shen Gongbao was scolded by the guard here, and he was furious, but there was nothing he could do. He had no military power and could not mobilize the army. Although Shen Gongbao's mission was to destroy the Shang Dynasty, he still wanted to suppress Jiang Ziya, but now it is obvious that he can no longer suppress Jiang Ziya. .
"Otherwise, the Shang Dynasty will suffer a loss, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to gain military power. Anyway, I will return to Chaoge now and let King Zhou know everything here. In a few days, the things here will be spread to Chaoge. By then King Zhou should Will give me military power." Shen Gongbao thought and used the earth escape technique to leave Chongcheng.
The next day, at dawn, when people are most sleepy, the people in Chongcheng were suddenly awakened by the sound of fighting like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. Jiang Ziya ordered the army to attack the city at the fourth watch.
The defenders of Chongcheng were deeply asleep when they were led into the underworld by Xiqi's army. In a short time, thousands of defenders died in their sleep.
Seeing the enemy attacking the city, the sleepy soldiers immediately stood up and prepared to fight. However, when they saw that the city wall was filled with Xiqi's army, their faces were ashen and their weapons were put away. On the ground.
Jiang Ziya used his military strength and speed, taking advantage of the time when people's defenses were at their lowest, and the carelessness of the defenders, to occupy Chongcheng without anyone noticing. His own army suffered less than a hundred casualties, while the defenders of Chongcheng, But nearly 10,000 people were killed or injured.
This battle showed Jiang Ziya's reputation as a flying bear, which impressed all the civil and military officials of the Zhou Dynasty.
