After Jiang Ziya sat at the desk for a few minutes, he looked down at the many civil servants and military generals listed on both sides, and nodded with satisfaction.
When he first came down from Kunlun Mountain, he was still full of reluctance and wanted to practice cultivation, hoping that one day he could achieve immortality and enjoy immortality.
Even though this hope was extremely slim, he really didn't want to go down the mountain at the beginning.
Unfortunately, Yuanshi Tianzun has already spoken, so naturally he cannot violate it.
After leaving Kunlun, he had nowhere to go, so he had to go to Chaoge to seek refuge with his sworn brother Song Yiren, whom he had met early in life.
Although under the care of his adopted brother, he had no worries about food and clothing, and even made arrangements to help him find a wife, the feeling of being at a loss was always filled in his heart.
In order to make a living, he even started various small businesses, including weaving fences, selling flour, learning cooking skills, and opening a wine shop, but in the end he accomplished nothing.
It was not until later that he escaped from Chaoge and lived in seclusion in Weishui. He used some small tricks to spread his reputation and attracted the attention of King Wen Jichang. He impressed Jichang with his strategy and was hired as an official. This turned around.
Now, as the Prime Minister of Xiqi, he has overall great power, and all civil and military matters are at his disposal. Even King Wu Jifa calls him his prime minister, and his status is extremely respected.
Even the most outstanding disciples of the three generations of Chan Cult served under him, and he had hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, training every day.
As soon as the date of Jintai's worship was agreed upon, he would lead these hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves to attack Chaoge and accomplish great feats.
Jiang Ziya is extremely satisfied with his current life, and this feeling of having great power makes him a little intoxicated.
Since it is certain that there will be no immortal fate in this life, then you can use your talents to the fullest and make great achievements in this catastrophe. This life will be considered to be in vain.
When they were outside, Yang Jian, Nezha and others came in and saluted him respectfully.
This made Jiang Ziya even more satisfied.
Although these disciples are his juniors in terms of seniority, they have a bright future. As long as they do not fall into this catastrophe, their future prospects are limitless.
Although he has poor qualifications, he has not achieved much in his practice so far, and his magic power is much inferior to that of these third-generation disciples.
Jiang Ziya felt very happy when he could see these young talents with great potential saluting him.
However, when he saw a short figure flashing behind Yang Jian's tall figure, Jiang Ziya's old face immediately dropped.
When I heard Tu Xingsun's high-pitched voice saying hello to me again, my originally good mood became a little jarring, as if I had eaten a fly.
This little dwarf had caused them a lot of trouble back then, and even dared to rely on his magic skills to come to assassinate him and King Wu late at night.
If it wasn't for their fate and chance to escape, they would have almost been killed by him.
Since then, the Xiqi generals have been on tenterhooks for some time.
Especially King Wu, he was just a mortal, but he had no strength to resist Tu Xingsun. As a last resort, he had to send Nezha and others to guard King Wu day and night.
Every day, we have to be careful day and night, lest this little dwarf sneaks in and stabs us again. Everyone is tense, and it's not a pleasant feeling.
In addition, Lei Zhenzi also died because of him.
Although Tu Xingsun quibbled that he did not kill him with his own hands, after the war, Jiang Ziya asked the prisoners and found out that not only was Lei Zhenzi captured by him, but even the execution was ordered by the little dwarf himself.
Beheaded.
Although he had no choice but to take him in because he was afraid of keeping his grandson, Jiang Ziya didn't like this person in his heart.
"cough."
Jiang Ziya coughed lightly, and the generals who were still whispering among each other suddenly fell silent, and the hall was filled with silence.
Nodding with satisfaction, Jiang Ziya said: "Just now I came to report that Chaoge had sent Zhang Shan, the great Yuan army, to lead an army to invade Xiqi. Does anyone know anything about this person?"
Nowadays, many of the generals in Xiqi's army are generals from the Yin and Shang Dynasties who were recruited to surrender. To be fair, the level of these generals is even higher than that of Xiqi's original generals.
After all, Xiqi is just a small area. It is not as vast as Dashang. After years of fighting, it can naturally cultivate a large number of outstanding generals.
The most outstanding general in Xiqi's past was Nangong Shi, but he was beheaded by Tai Luan, who was unknown at the time.
Speaking of understanding the generals of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the one who has the most say here is Wucheng King Huang Feihu.
When he was in Chaoge, he was in charge of the deployment of troops and horses in the world. Not to mention that he knew these generals well, but he was not far behind.
Huang Feihu cupped his hands and said: "Prime Minister, Zhang Shan is a man with great martial arts skills and is an extremely powerful general in the army. He has few rivals in terms of martial arts skills. However, he is a bit reckless and lacks wisdom. He is not our formidable enemy in Xiqi."
Jiang Ziya nodded when he heard this.
Since he is just a reckless man, there is no need to worry.
However, he remembered the painful lessons he had learned in the past. If there were some strange people in the opposing army, he might lose some men again.
Although the wars in these years often ended with the victory of Xiqi's side, the lack of swordsmanship on the battlefield made it easy to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to oneself. Many generals and soldiers lost their lives every year.
In fact, there have been many complaints among the people, but it was only because he suppressed them that they did not spread on a large scale.
On the side, Tu Xingsun jumped out, raised his hands and said, "Uncle Master, Zhang Shan is of no concern to me. Disciple, please order me. I will be the first to fight when the time comes. I will bring Zhang Shan's head to my uncle."
"snort."
Before Jiang Ziya could say anything, Nezha on the side said disdainfully: "Do you think I have no one in Xiqi? There is no need for you to take action. You should go escort your food and grass."
This is because Jiang Ziya didn't like to see Tu Xingsun very much on weekdays, so he sent him to various cities to escort grain and grass for military supplies. He often had to travel around, which was very hard.
Just as Tu Xingsun was about to retort, he saw Jiang Ziya wave his hand impatiently: "Okay, step aside first and let Ben Xiang think about how to deal with it."
Tu Xingsun felt bitter in his heart and retreated dejectedly.
He was also unlucky. He had been out of the mountain for such a long time. Not only did he not seek wealth and honor, but he also suffered from anger everywhere in Xiqi. Even Deng Chanyu, who he wanted to marry, didn't know where he had gone?
Now I have to travel here and there every day to escort hundreds of thousands of troops in Xiqi. It is really impossible to survive this day.
Nezha raised his head high, snorted coldly from his nose, and glanced at him condescendingly, his disdain evident in his words.
Anger rose in Tu Xingsun's heart, he clenched his fists, glanced at Jiang Ziya above him, and finally endured it.
