"The road to Chaoge City is far away, even if it is unhindered, it will take at least half a month. When the army passes by, there must be spying sentry. How can we make a surprise attack?"

"The number of merchants and people in Chaoge City is unclear. Even if the city gate is opened according to the agreement, how can we know whether the inside is like a quagmire, trapping the army deeply."

"How can Di Xin be unprepared? As long as there is any movement of soldiers and horses here, the merchant army will definitely be aware of it. If there is a flank attack, our army may be in danger."

In the middle of the night, Zhou Jun camped.

Yiying Zhou Chen said that the surprise attack was unreliable, but the few people who were good at observing words and expressions kept silent.

Ji Fa frowned deeply, and there was a little light in his eyes.

Glancing at Guang Chengzi who was sitting beside him, Ji Fa stood up and said in a steady voice:

"Di Xin has no way, is cruel and tyrannical, and now we should attack him with troops!

Today, our Zhou army has only hundreds of thousands of warriors. From here all the way to Chaoge City, there are more than a million merchants!

Surprise attack is the only chance for our Zhou army. If we fight all the way, even if the immortals help us, we will not have enough troops.

Where is the grand master? "

Jiang Shang, who was silent at the side, got up and answered: "The minister is here."

"The grand master leads the army and dispatches it in the middle. This king needs to mobilize all elite soldiers, horses, chariots, and exotic beasts. The grand master needs to lead the remaining army to draw the attention of the merchant army here.

The king led the elite to detour from Fenggu on the west side, hurried all the way, and went straight to Chaoge! "

Ji Fa's voice was unspeakably firm, extremely firm and decisive.

Jiang Shang whispered: "Your Majesty, is the person who made the promise trustworthy? The envoy just now didn't even reveal the name of his own master. Really..."

Ji Fa laughed and said, "With the immortals who interpret and teach as guarantees, I don't have to worry about it."

Guang Chengzi also said beside him: "Your Majesty only needs to lead the army to go, and the poor Taoist will make arrangements for it.

Although we immortals can't directly interfere with the transition of ordinary kingship, we can help the king to win the wind, increase the strength of the horses, and kill the generals.

For this surprise attack on Chaoge City, Pindao will also protect the king's body to ensure nothing goes wrong. "

"it is good!"

Ji Fa said in a firm voice: "My dear friends, you don't need to persuade me any more. I have made up my mind. I will prepare the army tonight and make a feint attack tomorrow. I will lead the army to surprise Chaoge!"

All the ministers bowed their heads to accept the order, and Guang Chengzi nodded slightly.

Jiang Shang thought about it for a while, and asked: "Your Majesty, that Chaoge City is full of people from the Shang Kingdom. Although Emperor Xin is tyrannical...but he is quite popular with the merchants. If Your Majesty attacks Chaoge City by force, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses will be far away." not enough."

In the corner of the tent, the old man in brocade who had come with Guang Chengzi took half a step forward and bowed in salute.

"But please send your troops, the merchants in the city will definitely not embarrass you. My master is fully prepared."

Jiang Shangdao: "Your Majesty, if this is Di Xin's trick, what should we do?"

"Jiang Shang," Guang Chengzi frowned slightly, "You don't even believe in being a brother?"

"Jiang Shang dare not."

Jiang Shang lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye, knowing that no matter how worried he was, he would not be able to change anything tonight, so he could only bow to King Wu and sighed:

"Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to follow the left and right sides, and the feint attack of the army can be done by Lord Ji Dan.

Only when the old minister is beside the king can he feel more at ease, and he can also arrange battle formations and countermeasures in time. "

Ji Fa thought about it for a while, nodded slowly, and said seriously: "It's safer to do so, and Father Lao Zhong will worry about it."

"The old minister will mobilize the elite, and go to Lord Ji Dan for instructions on defense," Jiang Shang bowed and asked to retreat. The white-haired old man was also walking like flying at the moment.

At noon on the second day, Zhou's army divided into two groups. One side feinted to attack, attracting the attention of the Shang army, while the other side marched towards the south, and quickly disappeared from the sight of the Shang army's scouts.

The Shang army searched for several days, found the traces of Zhou army in the direction of Muye, and hurriedly reported to Chaoge City.

Fei Lian wants to mobilize troops to encircle and suppress, but the speed of this army's march is rare in the world, and it is too late to set up defense lines everywhere.

Chaoge City was overcast for a while.

The memorial ceremony for the ancestors of the Great Shang is about to be held, but Emperor Xin and the ministers of the Shang state all thought that the Zhou army would be exhausted from running around, so there was no need to abandon the city.

In the Great King's Hall, dozens of generals of the Shang army knelt in front of the hall, asking for orders to lead the army to meet the Zhou army.

After careful consideration, Di Xin ordered Fei Lian Elai and his son to lead the army in person.

But then came the problem.

In Chaoge City, there are no soldiers that can go to war. At this time, the soldiers and horses stored are the minimum for defending Chaoge City.

Therefore, Emperor Xin ordered to recruit young and strong slaves in the city. If the battle is won, all the slaves who participate in this battle can get rid of their status as slaves, get money and land, and walk freely in Chaoge City.

Overnight, hundreds of thousands of young adults responded.

The Daku of Chaoge City moved out of its 'old capital'. The merchants gathered food, grass, and armor without counting. In a short period of time, they gathered hundreds of thousands of new troops, led by tens of thousands of elites, and rushed to the decisive battle not far from Chaoge City. land.

Makino.

The new army marched for several days, and under the brains of all the merchants, they have already understood the meaning of "advance to the sound of drums" and "sound of gold to withdraw troops".

Behind the Zhou army that was marching too fast, there were large armies chasing each other. As long as this Zhou army was intercepted here, the Zhou army would have nothing to do, and Chaoge City would be safe.

Today, the sky is full of clouds.

Zhou Shi tens of thousands of troops appeared on the horizon, with rolling wheels and horseshoes, exuding a certain evil spirit all over their bodies, and forming a battle with the merchant army in the land of Muye.

Without setting up a camp or burying pots, Zhou Jun each took his dry rations and clear water to eat, and at first glance, he didn't seem to be tired.

On the contrary, Ji Fa who was sitting in the chariot had his eyes closed and his face was pale. Although he was taken care of by soldiers, he looked as if he was about to faint.

This is the reaction that a few days of forced marching should have.

In front of the Zhou army formation, Jiang Shang sat on Sixiang's back, glanced at the merchant army formation ahead, and nodded secretly.

Then he looked at the soldiers of the Zhou army behind him, with a look of helplessness and sigh in his eyes.

How does Jiang Shang not know what's going on?

A few days ago, on the first night of this army's rest, when I was resting in the camp, Senior Brother Guang Chengzi found me and put a treasure bag in front of me.

At that time, he and Guang Chengzi were sitting across a long table.

"Brother, what is this?"
