Hangu City is pitch black at night. Except for the large households that can turn on their lights, ordinary households go to bed early as soon as it gets dark.
Wang Xu didn't sleep, sitting in the General Military Mansion handling government affairs.
Hangu City has tens of millions of people, and there are countless government affairs that need to be dealt with every day. Some small matters can be delegated to others, but many major matters such as finance, military affairs, and people's livelihood require personal consultation with him.
It's not that Wang Xu doesn't delegate power in these matters, it's that he doesn't have a mastermind-level adviser at his disposal, so some hardships are inevitable.
"It's been half a month, and Chen Tong hasn't done anything at all. It's a bit unexpected!"
Pressing down the corrected document, Wang Xu looked at the half-burned candle.
In his mind, he had become the commander-in-chief of Hangu Pass and had driven away the Chen family's children from both military and political circles. Chen Tong should not show any sign of it.
But in fact, neither Chen Tong nor the Chen family's children seemed to have forgotten this matter, and no one came to trouble them at all.
Such abnormal behavior made Wang Xu unhappy and worried.
The less the Chen family showed that they didn't care, the more they showed they cared about this matter. Instead, they ended up having a few troubles and ending on bad terms, which actually ended better.
Nothing happened, so people were hesitant.
This means that the Chen family is waiting for an opportunity. If they don't take action, the world will collapse if they do. There is no room for relaxation, and they don't even want to relax with him.
"Yang Jian, Yang Jian?"
While Wang Xu was thinking, a call suddenly came from his ears.
He raised his head and looked out the window, and saw Jiang Ziya standing on the auspicious clouds, standing in mid-air waving to him.
"Uncle Ziya?"
Wang Xu pushed the door open and went out. He cupped his fists at Jiang Ziya who was standing in the air and said, "Uncle Master, aren't you at Chaoge? Why are you here?"
Jiang Ziya lowered the auspicious clouds, with a sad look on his face, and said: "Although I knew that King Zhou was not a wise master, I never thought that he was so confused that he actually listened to the alchemist's words and poached Prime Minister Bigan's heart and drugged him.
Hey, I have completely given up on Shang Zhou, and I plan to go straight to Xiqi after passing the three passes. I think Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo, has a reputation as a virtuous man and should be a worthy monarch."
Jiang Ziya actually didn't say a word. The alchemist who presented the prescription was none other than his junior brother Shen Gongbao.
At present, Shen Gongbao has hooked up with Da Ji, and because of his meritorious service in offering medicine and using Qiqiao Exquisite Heart into medicine, he cured Da Ji's heart disease, and was named the national advisor by King Zhou.
When going down the mountain that day, Jiang Ziya made a bet with Shen Gongbao, each assisting the master to see who would have the last laugh.
Shen Gongbao had already taken charge of Chaoge and was honored as a national master. Of course Jiang Ziya would not stay in Chaoge anymore. After taking care of the housework, he left the capital and went straight to Xiqi.
After hearing what Jiang Ziya said, Wang Xu had a clear understanding in his heart. He knew that with Bigan's death, Shen Gongbao's entry into Chao Ge, and Jiang Ziya's entry into Xiqi, the Great Tribulation of the Gods was about to begin.
He knew it in his heart, but Wang Xu didn't express his position on his face. He respectfully asked: "Uncle is going to Xiqi, can you give me anything to say to my nephew?"
Jiang Ziya was not here to reminisce about the past. He was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "I told you that day, the destiny is not in Chaoge, but in Xiqi.
King Zhou acted in reverse, and I secretly observed that I had lost all my powers, and only Xiqi could show me the way.
When I go to Xiqi, I am actually complying with the destiny of heaven, and I should attack the unjust and punish Shang Zhou. If you can trust me, I will also have some arrangements for you."
Wang Xu knew the plot of Fengshen Yanyi, and also knew that Jiang Ziya was like a fish in water after entering Xiqi. He was quickly worshiped as prime minister by Ji Chang who fled back to Xiqi, and took charge of the campaign to conquer Zhou.
It goes without saying that Jiang Ziya came here today to persuade him to defect to Xiqi together.
"It all depends on Uncle Master's orders!"
Wang Xu had been waiting for this day for a long time and did not hesitate after hearing this.
Jiang Ziya was slightly relieved and said with a satisfied smile: "After I enter Xiqi, I will try my best to promote the defeat of Zhou. The Hangu Pass you are now commanding is one of the three major gateways between Shang and Zhou to connect Xiqi. I hope to wait for me
After holding high the flag of righteousness, you can bring order to the chaos and lead the troops at Hangu Pass to turn against each other."
"Uncle, don't worry..."
Wang Xu agreed immediately, but this was not enough, and said: "This matter is easy. After my uncle takes control of Xiqi, I will not only lead Hangu Pass to respond, but I will also capture Tongguan and Sanmenguan for my uncle."
, count it as a housewarming gift for my uncle."
"good!"
Jiang Ziya looked happy and continued: "If my nephew can respond to Xiqi's call and lead the uprising in the three passes, you will be the first to defeat Zhou. When I lead my troops to attack Wudao, I will guarantee you as the commander-in-chief of the front army.
The general in the account is ranked in the third class."
At this point, as if he was afraid that Wang Xu would not understand the importance, Jiang Ziya lowered his voice and warned: "Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, every change of dynasty represents an opportunity for humanity. Those who succeed will have the mercy of heaven and boundless luck. Practice
You can make great progress with each passing day. This time, it is different from the past. The luck is unusually strong, so don’t underestimate the mystery!"
At this time, Jiang Ziya had not yet obtained the list of gods, and he did not know what the great catastrophe was.
He only knew that this dynasty change was vaguely related to the three religions, and there were countless hidden plans.
If the plan is successful, countless people will rise to prominence. One day of enlightenment is worth tens of thousands of years of hard work.
Faced with Jiang Ziya's warnings, Wang Xu responded repeatedly. In fact, he knew more than Jiang Ziya. Even the explanation of the Twelve Golden Immortals might not be as clear as he knew.
After all, the current Twelve Golden Immortals and even the saints of the three religions did not expect that this catastrophe would be the beginning of the separation of the three religions.
Wang Xu knows that if you have mental arithmetic but not care, you can naturally be like a fish in water and realize your grand plans.
Otherwise, if he can't cultivate well on the mountain, why would he go down the mountain and accept instructions from others?
"You are here to train your troops and horses, uncle, I will go to Xiqi!"
After a clear explanation and Wang Xu's assurance, Jiang Ziya left happily.
Watching Jiang Ziya leave until he could no longer see him, Wang Xucai smiled secretly and said: "The former army commander is not bad, really good. He is much better than Yang Jian in history who only served as a pioneer after he came down from the mountain. It is worth me to plan a plan in advance.
Fan."
In The Romance of the Gods, Yang Jian and Nezha's status is not high. They are just generals like pioneers. They have nothing to do with the generals who command the army. They only do hard work.
This time, Wang Xu didn't want to be like the actor and just be a fierce general who charges into battle.
Although a fierce general is majestic, his status is very different from that of a general. In the interpretation, Yang Jian and Nezha must go first in every battle, but the majority of the credit always belongs to others. It is not because their positions in the army are too low, and they are always in trouble.
You should be given credit by your superiors.
In the Battle of the Gods, military merit is not just military merit, but also the distribution of luck.
If you have more, I will have less. In addition, the Twelve Golden Immortals come here from time to time to keep warm. It is true that the ones who do the most work don’t talk, and the ones who don’t work make silly comparisons.
"King Wen hired Ziya from Weishui, and Jiang Ziya entered Xiqi. Ji Chang should have appeared too. Since Ji Chang escaped from Chaoge a few months ago, Huang Feihu has been following and chasing him all the way. So far, he has not even seen Ji Chang's shadow. Who knows?
I don’t know why Ji Chang, a living person, disappeared out of thin air.
It can be seen from this that Ji Chang's Sixty-Four Hexagrams of King Wen are really powerful. Every time he predicts the enemy, except for Fu Xi's Eighty-one Innate Hexagrams, Ji Chang can be ranked in the top ten in the world's hexagrams. It is a pity that Ji Chang's Xiu
It's a bit low. If you had the cultivation level of the Twelve Golden Immortals, you wouldn't be able to forcefully use King Wen's sixty-four hexagrams to deduce the secrets of heaven and cause trouble halfway.
Although I have nothing to do with Ji Chang, Zhou Sheng has already voted for Xiqi, and he owes me his life. In this way, I should also have a good reputation in the eyes of King Wen. This kind of start is much better than in the novel."
Thinking that the Great Tribulation of the Gods was about to begin, Wang Xu thought of King Wen Jichang again.
Ji Chang is a legendary figure, especially for his innate divination, and is known as the first person after Fu Xi.
The only fly in the ointment is that Ji Chang doesn't have the strength of Fu Xi, so he has to use his lifespan to compensate for the secrets.
The more you count, the sooner Ji Chang will die.
In the end, in order to deduce the fate of the Shang Dynasty and calculate the road ahead for the Zhou Dynasty, he was even more exhausted mentally and physically. In addition, after seeing the head of Chonghou Hu, the Northern Bohou, he was depressed and unhappy, and died of exhaustion not long after. It has to be said that it is a pity.
But then again, King Wen's death was considered a right death.
If he doesn't die, how can Ji Fa ascend the throne?
If the person sitting on the throne was not the young and energetic Ji Fa but lack of prestige, but the wily Ji Chang, Jiang Ziya would not be able to command everyone and command Xiqi's soldiers and horses like an arm.
