Xiqi was reorganizing his army, and at the same time took advantage of Wen Zhong's retreat to completely integrate the remaining military forces in the Southeast Bohou Kingdom. He also used this window period to carefully plan the strategic plan for the next period.
In Jiang Ziya's eyes, Wen Zhong's withdrawal meant that the entire battle situation had undergone earth-shaking changes, which was of extremely important strategic significance.
Before the war began, neither Xiqi nor the princes in the world were optimistic that Xiqi could withstand the force of the furious Wen Zhong. They all thought that it would only take one strike with a halberd to attack the entire Xiqi and Southeast Bohou Kingdom.
Any temporary resistance will be reduced to rubble.
But what about now? Although the Xiqi side can't be said to have won, it definitely can't be considered a "loser." This is very important and has the influence of the power of miracles. Because from this moment on, the world will spread its disparity over Southeast and West.
Comparing the strength of the war between Hou Guo and Chaoge's power becomes very different.
Xiqi is not a local chicken and a dog, so he will not necessarily lose; Chaoge is not sweeping the world, and he is unbeatable.
But in a weak position, Xiqi still maintains a clear gap with Chaoge. However, this gap now has a very valuable window period. How to use it to strengthen itself and change the degree of weakness? This is what Jiang Ziya needs to start quickly.
What you do is also something that the princes of the world stare at and "watch".
There are over a thousand princes in the world. They are not as powerful as Bohou, but they still have their own strengths. Once these forces are gathered together, they will be a powerful force that can really conquer the world. This is what Jiang Ziya has been coveting for a long time.
the power of.
At present, except for the princes who are deeply involved with the three princes in the southeast and west, most of the princes are actually on the side of Chaoge, and a few remain neutral. This cannot be explained by the concept of loyalty.
It's a matter of fist size.
If I don't fight with the person with the big fist, why should I help the person with the small fist? Isn't this unhealthy?
Therefore, if Jiang Ziya wants to seize the loose power floating in the world and take it into his own hands, he needs to make his fist look bigger as soon as possible, and even needs to directly surpass or compare with Chaoge's fist.
By that time, maybe things can really change.
Thinking of this, a rare smile appeared on Jiang Ziya's face. This was the first time he smiled from the heart since the war began. Because he finally found a ray of precious sunshine in this place where the sky was filled with dark clouds.
Standing in front of the map, Jiang Ziya began to think about it, and at the same time, the first formal integration of the three Bohou countries in the east, west, and south began.
The boundaries between the soldiers of the three major princedoms were lifted, unified management, unified dispatching, and the three parties were involved in each other and were inseparable. Then, in order to create a formal and provocative spiritual beacon, at the suggestion of Jiang Ziya, Ji Fa, the son of Xibohou Jichang,
A new empire was announced in Xiqi, with the name "Zhou". The territory of the three Bohou kingdoms was included in the territory.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Ji Fa once again issued a proclamation to denounce King Shou's brutal rule, and called on all the princes in the world to raise the flag of rebellion and overthrow the decadent Shang Dynasty!
The establishment of the Zhou Dynasty seemed a bit hasty, but it was a necessary node in the period. Jiang Ziya's grasp of this overall view was very sharp, and it indeed served the purpose of uniting people's hearts and not losing to Chao Ge in terms of righteousness.
And looking back at Chaoge's attitude, the impact of the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty was even more strange. Uncharacteristically, he did not directly send troops to attack for a second time. Instead, he just denounced "treason" and then lost his voice.
Does Chaoge no longer have the willpower to fight?
How is this possible? How could the mighty Shang Dynasty, with thousands of years of accumulation, lose its potential because of a war? The reason why there is no tough answer as always is because there are also extremely negative influences within the Shang Dynasty.
King Shou became more and more violent and cruel, and his intelligence seemed to continue to decline, reaching the level of "mentally retarded". When Wen Zhong led the army to conquer the west, King Shou often muttered in his ear because of the Prime Minister.
Guxu was dissatisfied, but in the end, under Daji's instigation, she told Bigan that he had a pain in his brain, which he needed medicine to cure, and that ordinary medicinal materials were not enough, so Qiqiao Exquisite Heart boiled soup to cure it.
.
The Exquisite Heart with Seven Apertures was something that Daji came up with out of the blue. She also named him and said that the only one in the world who had such a thing was Prime Minister Bigan, who dedicated his heart to cure King Shou's "head ailment".
As for Bigan, he actually didn't want to give his heart to make soup for King Shou. He was not a fool, so how could he not understand that King Shou was beating around the bush and wanted to execute him?
Frustrated, Bigan gave up resistance, feeling that the Shang Dynasty for which he had devoted his life's efforts was dead. What's the harm in him taking the first step?
So Bigan was forced to death by King Shou. When Wen Zhong came back, the civil and military officials in the court were completely different. He was completely absent-minded, just like King Shou, he didn't care about serious matters at all.
Once the internal chaos begins, there is no way to simply eliminate it. Not even Wen Zhong can do it. He can't go on a killing spree, right?
After receiving the news that Xiqi raised the banner of Zhou Dynasty and Ji Fa proclaimed himself emperor, King Shou was naturally so angry that he almost burst his lungs. He threatened that if Wen Zhong sent troops again, he would definitely kill everyone in the Zhou Dynasty and kill everyone.
The dog does not stay.
But Wen Zhong did not dare to act rashly. Although his master Tongtian expressed his attitude and would strongly support it, Wen Zhong knew that he could not be as hasty as before. He needed to prepare more seriously, and the second Vasina must be
It must be completely won in one battle. Therefore, whether it is the recruitment and training of ordinary soldiers, as well as the reinforcement and expansion at the monk level, Wen Zhong needs to be recalculated.
Time flies by in this day-to-day preparation.
Four months later.
The party that started to prepare to take action was not the Chaoge side, but the Zhou Dynasty, which was not favored by the world.
Suddenly the world was in turmoil again.
This time, the Zhou Dynasty mobilized all the troops from across the country, claiming to be 800,000 strong, and the target was directly at Chaoge.
However, people with a discerning eye know that the Zhou Dynasty has no choice but to take action. Chaoge, who has a deep foundation, can continue to wait and prepare calmly. The resources obtained by both sides are very unequal. The longer the wait, the more difficult it will be for the Zhou Dynasty.
It was unfavorable, so after barely sorting out the internal affairs in four months, Jiang Ziya, the commander-in-chief of the Zhou Dynasty, had no choice but to start the campaign of "conquering merchants".
As for Chaoge, King Shou was already as angry as a wild beast that had lost his mind. He was roaring and asking questions. He must send out troops immediately and destroy the group of rebellious ministers of the Zhou Dynasty. He also swore that he would kill everyone under the Zhou Dynasty, including dogs.
