Chapter Eighteen.
In the ring selection, Lu Zhi overwhelmingly defeated the Xiqi generals. Whether it was fighting skills or military strategy, all the generals combined could not match Lu Zhi.
Although the Xiqi soldiers did not know Lu Zhi, they naturally knew his abilities after seeing him with their own eyes.
And thanks to the fact that Laojun ordered Lu Zhi to visit the King of Chaoge City many years ago, serve as an official in the court, and promote water conservancy and agriculture, it spread a lot of good reputation to him, so after learning that Lu Zhi succeeded the marshal, Xi Jinping
Sergeants Qi didn't have any dissatisfaction.
After Lu Zhi was appointed commander, he immediately began to work on military strategy. He ordered Nangong Shi and other generals to train his soldiers, and gave him three volumes of military books, one recording the method of marching in battle formations, and the other recording the training methods of soldiers.
Law.
The last volume is a summary of the art of war that he combined with Sun Tzu's Art of War, Six Taoist Strategies, the Song Dynasty's Wu Mu's Suicide Notes, and modern guerrilla warfare tactics. After Nangong Shi and others obtained the art of war, it was as if
It's like finding a treasure, holding it all day long without letting go.
Even Jiang Ziya, Ji Fa and others, after learning the news, rushed to Commander Lu Zhi's tent and asked for a copy of the military book to go back and study.
Jiang Ziya sat in the commander's tent, while studying the military books, he praised: "Senior brother Lu is truly a god! His insights and interpretations of military affairs are simply amazing to me."
"Junior brother, I was taught several volumes of military art by my teacher in the Kunlun Mountains and Yuxu Palace back then. Although my junior brother is not talented enough to understand all the essentials, he still knows how to fight. Compared to my senior brother
Come on, junior brother, this military strategy is really not worth mentioning."
Lu Zhi just responded casually a few times and did not discuss it in depth. After all, he had only copied the military books and military concepts of later generations in advance. If he really wanted to talk about the insights and essence, it was better to let them understand it on their own.
The two of them chatted casually for a while, and suddenly heard a report from a sergeant outside the tent, saying that King Wucheng Huang Feihu and his generals and soldiers had rebelled against King Zhou, led his army to break out of the siege, passed the five passes, and headed west to him.
Qilaitou, now that people have arrived in Xiqi City, Ji Fa sent someone to invite Lu Zhi and Jiang Ziya to receive Huang Feihu.
Jiang Ziya put down his military book, looked up at Lu Zhi, and said with a smile: "Commander Lu, King Wu Cheng has arrived. Let's go into the city to see him."
Lu Zhi nodded, stood up and said, "Then let's go there together."
The two of them had already known about Huang Feihu's betrayal of Chao Ge and his surrender to Xiqi earlier through letters sent by several senior brothers in Chanjiao. Calculating the time, it was indeed time for him to arrive.
As they spoke, the two left the commander's tent, left the military camp, and headed toward Xiqi City together. Not long after, they arrived at the city.
When the two came to the palace, Huang Feihu was already there, accompanied by Ji Fa and Xiqi's important minister San Yisheng. It can be seen that the gesture was grand. Xiqi's side did not ignore the arrival of King Wucheng.
Seeing Lu Zhi and Jiang Ziya arriving, Ji Fa immediately stood up and greeted them: "Shuai Lu, Xiangfu, you are here."
"It just so happens that today King Wucheng comes to surrender. It's time to invite the two of them to meet... Xiangfu and Marshal Lu also served as officials in Chaoge City in the past, and they should also be old ministers to King Wucheng.
It’s cooked, it’s just a good time to catch up on old times today.”
Jiang Ziya smiled and said hello to King Wu Cheng: "Haha, King Wu Cheng, I haven't seen you for many years, but King Wu Cheng's style is still the same."
However, Huang Feihu smiled sadly and said: "How can I be as rich and noble as Prime Minister Jiang? Now Huang Feihu is a man in trouble. Today he abandoned business and returned to Zhou Dynasty. He is like a bird missing in the forest, without a place to stay."
"Today Huang Feihu came to Xiqi. I only hope that King Wu will not give up and can accept Huang Feihu's generals. In the future, we will go through fire and water for Xiqi!"
After saying that, he turned around and saluted Lu Zhi: "Marshal Lu, the last general Huang Feihu, is willing to lead his family, young and old, and three thousand soldiers to surrender to the marshal's tent to obey the order. I hope the marshal will take him in."
Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows and subconsciously glanced at Huang Feihu, who was looking down on him, but felt a little surprised in his heart.
Originally, he was thinking that when Huang Feihu was in Chaoge City, he was King Wu Cheng, a marshal who was the most powerful military commander in the world. Now that he has joined Xiqi, he might cause some troubles, such as trying to fight with Lu Zhi.
Complete the position of marshal and all.
In addition, Ji Fa seems to have been scheming about Xiqi's military power falling into Lu Zhi's hands. Now that Huang Feihu is here, it is unlikely that he will have the idea of supporting Huang Feihu to compete with him to achieve a balance.
But he didn't want to. As soon as they met, Huang Feihu lowered his attitude and wanted to lead the people under Lu Zhi's command to obey orders. This made Lu Zhi a little unexpected.
Jiang Ziya turned around and looked at Lu Zhi. Obviously he was also surprised, but it was just right and it avoided some trouble.
"King Wu Cheng, please get up." Lu Zhi stepped forward to help Huang Feihu and said, "Since you intend to surrender to my commander, I should accept it. After that, you can take my commander's order and go to summon him outside the city.
Old troops, please move into the military camp."
"yes!"
Ji Fa glanced at Huang Feihu with a normal expression, but he couldn't help but feel surprised and uncertain in his heart. How could Huang Feihu succumb to others so easily?!
But he didn't know that Huang Feihu had already made up his mind before entering the city.
Although Lu Zhi had no contact with him when he was an official in Chaoge, a few years ago, when Prime Minister Bigan was ordered by King Zhou to kill himself and cut out his heart to make soup for the demon queen Daji, he had witnessed it from a distance.
Seeing that, Lu Zhi revived Bigan with an elixir, and then left with Bigan turning into a golden rainbow.
And just one day ago, when he led the crowd to break through the blockade and rushed to Xiqi, he met his own son, Huang Tianhua, to rescue him. Later, he was captured by Han Rong, the guard of Bishui Pass, and was rescued by Nezha.
Only then can I come to Xiqi.
Without exception, both Huang Tianhua and Nezha had informed him that after he was admitted to Xiqi, he must not have any desire to compete with their uncle Lu Zhi for the position of marshal, otherwise he would surely bring humiliation to himself.
He had seen the abilities of Huang Tianhua and Nezha with his own eyes, and Lu Zhi was still their uncle, so his abilities were definitely much better than those of these two young men.
Although Huang Feihu was somewhat confident in his martial arts, he also knew that he was definitely no match for Lu Zhi, so he simply followed his advice and became a general under Lu Zhi.
After all, he has long been used to it. When he was in Chaoge, he was suppressed by Grand Master Wen. Although he was King Wucheng and was known as the number one military commander, when it came time to go to war, that time happened again.
It wasn't because Master Wen took action.
But he still can't argue. After all, in terms of strength and prestige, he is far behind Grand Master Wen. After so many years, he has become accustomed to it. It's just that he has replaced Grand Master Wen with Marshal Lu, and there is no difference.
.
Seeing that Huang Feihu had retreated on his own and led the crowd to Lu Zhi's command, Ji Fa could only calm down his thoughts and said with a smile.
"Today, I, Xiqi, have gained another general from King Wucheng, but Emperor Xin has lost a capable minister. As one goes, one day we will be able to overthrow the cruel and unscrupulous Yin Shang."
, to create a peaceful and prosperous age again.”
After exchanging pleasantries and greetings, they ignored the mention, but said that after Huang Feihu returned to Xiqi, not even a month had passed before the Chaoge troops had already arrived in Xiqi.
Now, the war between Xiqi and Chaoge, Wu Zhou and Yin Shang has officially begun.
Military camp, handsome tent.
"Report! Marshal, Chaoge troops have entered our Xiqi territory, and the army will be stationed sixty miles away from the west gate of Xiqi City. Please make a decision, Marshal!"
Lu Zhi responded and said, "Don't worry, I'll report back after the Chaoge troops start taking action."
Another day passed, and the Chaoge troops set up camp. After being fully prepared, they led another group of troops to the foot of Xiqi City, shouting and calling for formation.
Lu Zhi also reacted immediately: "Send the order, beat the drums, gather the generals, and go to the west gate with me to explore."
"yes!"
Half a quarter of an hour later, the generals gathered together, and Lu Zhi directly ordered everyone to follow him to the top of the city where they saw Chaoge's men and horses.
I saw an armored Chaoge army arrayed in the open space below the city. A Chaoge general riding a black horse was holding a broadsword, raising it high and yelling at the city wall to demand the Xiqi defenders.
