The fake daughter is also trying to exploit system loopholes today

"How to say?"

The others quickly gathered around, their eyes full of anticipation.

It's not that they are unwilling to serve the country, it's just that they are too old, with a bunch of old bones and half buried in the ground. If they continue to work, they will have to go to the underworld to meet their ancestors.

"If reclaiming wasteland is so troublesome, why don't we just grab the good farmland that has already been reclaimed?"

Before he finished speaking, a slightly younger official looked embarrassed and said, "Old Master, do you mean to declare war on the small countries around us? Isn't that bad? They are all vassals of the Shang Dynasty and our subjects."

"If they behave themselves all the time, it will be difficult for us to take action. But what if they rebel first, just like Yuan Futong in Beihai?"

"My great Shang has a strong army and powerful horses. How dare these small countries offend the emperor and commit treason?"

"Haha," the old tutor chuckled, "Don't worry, as long as we can persuade the king to send troops, whether to rebel or not will not be up to them at that time."

After the old tutor discussed the details with everyone, he took a group of people to Shouxian Palace that night to ask for an audience with Emperor Xin.

Emperor Xin looked at these old ministers who had always accused him of being warmongering and began to persuade him earnestly to start a war. He felt as refreshed as drinking a big bowl of herbal tea in the hottest days of summer.

He kept Su Xiaomeng's instructions in mind and did not agree to it immediately. Instead, he looked hesitant and temporarily refused on the grounds that he could not bear the waste of time and money.

The next day, the Grand Tutor made another remonstrance in the court, but Emperor Xin continued to decline.

This went on and on until he had declined three times, and Emperor Xin finally agreed reluctantly.

In order to avoid being plotted against, Master Wen definitely could not lead the army to war.

But now the Shang Dynasty is at its peak during the Spring and Autumn Period, and besides Wen Zhong, there are many other capable generals.

Zhang Guifang, Yuan Hong, Huang Feihu, Deng Jiugong, the four generals of the Demon family...

The number of generals whose names were included in the List of Gods alone is too great to be counted on one hand.

This time, without those old ministers holding them back, Zhang Guifang took command and led the army to directly defeat the dozens of small princes who were rebelling.

Emperor Xin would certainly not be satisfied with just occupying this little bit of land. He planned to send out invitations to Shanrong, Dongdi, and Yiqiu in the name of celebration, and when they sent envoys over, he would declare war on them on the grounds that the gifts were not of sufficient quality.

When Su Xiaomeng heard Emperor Xin's plan, she hurried over to stop him.

"Your Majesty, this plan of yours is too crude. China is a vast country with abundant resources. It is normal for the gifts sent by small countries on the periphery to be of inferior quality. If you do this, other countries will feel grief over the loss of their loved ones."

Emperor Xin thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the truth. He asked with great humility and piety.

"Mengmeng, what reason do you think is more appropriate to declare war?"

"Why must we be the ones to declare war?" Su Xiaomeng raised her eyebrows. "Wouldn't it be more just if we let them declare war and we were forced to fight back?"

Emperor Xin was unimpressed: "These small countries have long been scared away. How dare they declare war on the Shang Dynasty?"

"They don't dare, but there are people who do!" Su Xiaomeng pointed upwards, "They originally wanted to use the Conferred God Ceremony to destroy the Shang Dynasty and turn the Emperor into the Son of Heaven."

"Now that the List of Gods is in our hands, they will definitely not be able to swallow this. It turns out that they were planning to deceive the Western Zhou Dynasty. Now the Western Zhou Dynasty has been tied to the chariot of the Shang Dynasty, and Bo Yikao has become the most loyal minister of the king."

Su Xiaomeng told Emperor Xin the information she had just obtained through the system in the form of reasoning.

"If they still want to destroy the Shang Dynasty, the only way is to unite the barbarians around the Shang Dynasty and besiege the Shang Dynasty."

"If I'm not mistaken, they should have already sent out envoys to persuade the various tribes. Instead of waiting for them to unite and march on the border, why don't we help them in advance..."

The next day, dozens of teams, carrying large amounts of gold, silver and treasures, left Da Shang and secretly sneaked into the territories of Shanrong, Dongdi and Yiqiu.

In order to satisfy Su Xiaomeng's bad taste and to cause trouble for the Chan Sect, the leaders of these teams dyed their hair white, grew white beards, and changed their names to Jiang Ziya.

Although Fu Hao reconquered the Shanrong, Dongdi, Yiqiu and other tribes with her powerful military force, because the Shang Dynasty did not have enough manpower to send to the local areas for governance, over time, as the national strength recovered, these countries began to expand.

Especially the rulers of these countries, they are all the masters of a country. Why do you want to suppress me?

Even if Jiang Ziya had not come down the mountain to incite them, these guys would still rebel over time.

After the special operations team of Da Shang entered the territories of Shanrong, Dongdi and Yiqiu, they relied on their strong financial resources to recruit soldiers and horses, and quickly formed a huge team without considering their combat effectiveness.

The rulers of Shanrong, Dongdi and Yiqiu were not fools. When they found that something was wrong, they immediately arranged people to suppress it.

But it was too late, accompanied by the slogan "Enforce justice on behalf of heaven and resist the tyranny of the Shang Dynasty!"

【Enforce Justice on Behalf of Heaven】【Crusade against the Shang Dynasty】

Two large flags were raised high, formally declaring war on the Shang Dynasty.

The rulers of Shanrong, Dongdi, and Yiqiu were a little confused at first, but after investigation, they found that the ruler of these armies was an old man named Jiang Ziya.

Although they didn't understand why Jiang Ziya declared war in advance, they had already been tied to the pirate ship and could only follow suit and raise the flag of rebellion.

The news of the rebellion of Shanrong, Dongdi and Yiqiu soon reached Chaoge, and Emperor Xin pretended to be furious.

"Since you small countries don't respect the king, there's no need to keep you."

"Come here, pass on the king's order and order Zhang Guifang to immediately turn the army around and raze these three small countries to the ground."

"As you command, Your Majesty."

There are many barbarians surrounding the Shang Dynasty. If they rebel together, it would indeed be a bit troublesome. However, they are just three small countries that do not border each other, and Zhang Guifang's army has just swept across the North Sea with the momentum of a great victory.

Jiang Ziya was lobbying for Xiqiang. Before he could ask for help from the Chan sect, the three small countries had already been annihilated by his army.

The King of Western Qiang, who had been somewhat tempted at first, immediately gave up his original thoughts when he saw how brutal the army of the Great Shang was. He arranged for people to tie up Jiang Ziya and send him to the Great Shang along with a large amount of gold, silver and other treasures to show his submission.

Although Emperor Xin's productivity has been fully developed with the help of Su Xiaomeng and many time travelers, there are still too few scholars and a lack of sufficient grassroots officials.

The territories of the seventy-two princes including Yuan Futong, plus the three kingdoms of Shanrong, Dongdi and Yiqiu, are already a bit indigestible. If they continue to expand, they will only be making things easier for other princes.

Therefore, Emperor Xin readily accepted the gift from the King of Western Qiang and wrote a letter in reply to appease him.

After Jiang Ziya was sent to Chaoge, Su Xiaomeng, out of curiosity, ran over to see the person who was originally scheduled to be in charge of the List of Gods.

Su Xiaomeng observed carefully and was a little disappointed when she found that Jiang Ziya looked like an ordinary old man.

Emperor Xin walked over with a smile and said, "Jiang Ziya is the culprit behind the rebellion of Yiqu and other countries. Mengmeng, how do you think we should deal with him?"

Su Xiaomeng's eyes rolled around and she came up with a good idea.

"Ahem, according to the law, a rebel should be executed along with his entire clan. Considering that Jiang Ziya is a disciple of the saint, give the saint some face and spare his life. Let him go and suppress the North Sea Eye, which can be considered as redemption."

It's called suppression, but in fact, it's just like Shen Gongbao in the original book, who was tied up and stuffed directly into the eye of the North Sea.

Considering that Jiang Ziya is now just a mortal, in order to prevent him from dying too quickly, Su Xiaomeng decided to go all out and simply sealed the deity position that originally belonged to Shen Gongbao.

Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun was meditating with his eyes closed when the List of Gods floating beside him suddenly vibrated violently.

After a moment, a line of large characters appeared on it:

Pardon and title: Jiang Ziya, a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, was made the General of Water Dividing the East China Sea, and was to guard the Eye of the North Sea forever to atone for his sins.

Everything Jiang Ziya did was in accordance with Yuanshi Tianzun's wishes. If he is asked to atone for his sins now, doesn't that mean Yuanshi Tianzun was wrong?

Yuanshi Tianzun was humiliated and furious. He raised his hand and pressed on the List of Gods, frantically using his magic power to try to erase the words by force.

Unexpectedly, after he took action, the List of Gods shattered directly.

Immediately afterwards, the heaven and earth trembled, and all the souls from the other world, including Su Xiaomeng, were bounced back to their original world.
