When Lu Chuandu returned to Chaoge, the defeated Xiqi army was still on the way back to Xiqi.

Although they retreated from the east left by Lu Chuan, their base camp Xiqi is on the west. If they keep going east, they will only reach the territory of Donglu.

Therefore, they had to walk a long way and then take a detour to Xiqi.

If we talk about this defeat, Ji Chang was the one who suffered the most.

In recent years, the emperor's arrogance and extravagance ignored the government's affairs, built deer platforms, made artillery and dug pots, which made the people's grievances boil and the people complained.

Many people from the Shang Dynasty fled from Chaoge and came to Xiqi, Nanue, Donglu and other countries to settle down, becoming their people.

What measures the strength of the princes along the way is the force of troops and the population in the city.

Today, the largest and most populous city is naturally the capital Chaoge. In addition to Chaoge, there are four cities in East Lu, West Qi, South Hubei and North Chong.

This is also the reason why they became the four great princes in the world.

In addition, the southeastern two sides fought with the Shang Dynasty for many years, and I heard that the two sides were hurting each other, and recruiting troops and buying horses, Xiqi's population and strength, which had secretly developed, had firmly stood at the top of the four major vassal states.

His heart became restless.

Also, his judgment on the current situation was also due to Emperor Xin’s own death, which exhausted the last little bit of the Shang Dynasty. Now the situation is over.

So he, who had been reluctant to send it for many years, coincided with Jiang Ziya's suggestion, attacking Bei Chong and killing Chonghouhu. In addition to increasing the popularity of the people, he also tested the reaction of the Da Shang.

He is 97 years old this year. Although he has lived a very long life among the human race, he is a mortal after all, neither a Qi Refiner nor a Martial Artsman, and his life span is almost over.

He was afraid that if he didn't take action, he would never have a chance in his life.

So he ordered a 100,000 army and raised the banner of "killing treacherous ministers and purifying the king" and "the world's righteousness", and swung across the market to attract the attention of the world.

This was his first step toward the throne. As long as he succeeded, he would definitely win the hope of the people and win the hearts of the people. The next step would be to attack the Shang Dynasty.

When they arrived in Beichong, they first fought with Chong Yingbiao, killed several generals of Beichong. After winning several victories, they even conspired with Chong Heihu to form a plan to kill Chonghouhu.

Everything was going very smoothly.

But he didn't understand, didn't understand, how come everything suddenly changed.

He didn't know which direction the Shang Dynasty threw out three stones and smashed them hard on his feet.

pain!

In just one night, the 100,000 Xiqi army he brought lost more than 20,000. Although it would not hurt the muscles, it really hurts.

In addition, Lu Chuan was so good at cutting off the firewood from the cauldron and burning their food directly, so the return journey of 70,000 people became more and more difficult and bumpy.

In addition, after they were defeated, they became laughable. The more they were, the more ridiculous they were when they went there, the more ridiculous they were now.

When Ji Chang was passing by some cities, he found some familiar princes to borrow grain, but no one was willing to borrow it.

Ji Chang lost weight a little after just half a month.

Finally got sick.

In the big tent.

Ji Chang was lying on the couch, his face was pale, his lips were chapped, and he was very weak.

"Prime Minister, how are you doing?"

Nangong Shi and others surrounded the bed, watched Jiang Ziya take Ji Chang's pulse and asked urgently.

Jiang Ziya glanced at Ji Chang.

Ji Chang was also staring at him, but his eyes were now deeply trapped in his sockets and were a little cloudy.

"No serious problem!"

Jiang Ziya suddenly smiled and said, "My lord is just overworking on a long journey. I'll ask a few generals to go out and get some wild game to help her to replenish her body."

"So that's the case, it's all the best!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this and rushed out of the tent to hunt.

As soon as everyone left, only Jiang Ziya, Nangong Shi and Ji Chang on the sickbed were left in the tent.

Ji Chang suddenly said, "General Nangong, go out and see how far we are from Xiqi."

"yes!"

Nangong Shi was slightly stunned and turned around and retreated.

"Prime Minister, is this marquis going to have his life span?" Ji Chang said.

"Where is the lord saying this?"

Jiang Ziya said in a shocked look: "I have calculated that the lord will live a hundred years old and will have three years of life!"

"Prime Minister, don't hide it from me. Don't forget that this marquis is also familiar with the innate numbers and knows the secrets of heaven."

Ji Chang shook his head and murmured: "Not long ago, I calculated that I only had one year's life left."

The smile on Jiang Ziya's face was curled away.

In ancient times, the human king Fuxi observed the heaven, earth, mountains, rivers and all things, and created the innate Bagua.

Ji Chang was born with a god, born with four breasts, extremely wise and proficient in innate numbers. Later, during the seven years he was trapped in the Wanli by Emperor Xin, he even deduced the innate Eight and Sixty-Four Acquired Eight and Sixty-Four Acquired Eight and Sixty-Four Acquired Eight and Sixty-Four Acquired Eight and Sixty-Four Acquired Eight and Sixty-Four Acquired Eight and Eight and Six

If we talk about the numbers that are easy to calculate, Jiang Ziya dared not say that he is better than Ji Chang.

"Lord, I'm sorry to you this time. I'm advised you to send troops but failed to help you kill Chonghou. I'm guilty!"

"No, it's not the prime minister's fault. This time, this marquis was unable to calm down."

Ji Chang shook his head. His long-cherished wish was the whole world. How could he not fight when he knew that he had only one year left and the great momentum of the Shang Dynasty was over?

Therefore, when Jiang Ziya proposed to attack Beichong and kill Chonghouhu, he hit it off, but he didn't expect that he would fail in the end.

Hearing this, Jiang Ziya sighed in a complicated way.

Lu Chuan!

"Now it seems that the two boys from the E family and the Jiang family are smart people!"

Ji Chang smiled bitterly: "After all, I'm a young man, I have plenty of time to calm down. Haha, Xiqi and Fa'er have an opponent."

"The lord means..."

Jiang Ziya was shocked when she heard this.

"Anyway, Eastern Lu and Southern E are also one of the four great vassal states. They are powerful and have many soldiers and wide generals. How can they be compared to a small pass?"

Ji Chang's turbid eyes showed a ray of wisdom at this moment: "If they really want to do it, although E Shun may not be able to get down to the Three Mountain Pass, at least Jiang Wenhuan will not be a problem to build the Wandering Soul Pass."

"Are they also saving their strength?"

Jiang Ziya said in shock.

"I'm still waiting for someone to explore their way."

Ji Chang nodded and sighed: "It's a pity that I have no time anymore, otherwise I will be calm and might have caused this defeat?"

"So powerful. Everyone in the world knows that Dongbo Hou has been attacking Youhun Pass for seven years and has lost his troops and generals."

Jiang Ziya smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Nanbo was beaten several times and repeatedly by Deng Jiugong. Now it seems that the people in the world have been deceived by them."

"It's true that the east cannot capture it for a long time, and it's a loss of troops and generals? Haha, but it may not be the same. The south is also similar. Alas, it's not a good-looking lamp!"

Ji Chang looked at Jiang Ziya with a wry smile: "I have not had a few days left, but now this time I cannot die, otherwise the morale of the army will be in chaos.

Prime Minister, you are a very powerful Taoist master. Now I will only ask you one question if there is any way to keep me to Xiqi?"

Jiang Ziya came to the front of the collapse and said solemnly: "I will do my best to do my best to help the master continue his life."

…

…

Chaoge.

Lu Chuan didn't know that his trip to Beijing Chong made the ambitious Xibohou doubt his life, and at this time he just wanted to go home first.

Dong!

When Lu Chuan and the guards were about to enter the mansion, they suddenly heard a gong sound from a distance.

Lu Chuan and everyone looked sideways and saw a group of people separated from the crowd in the distance, holding flags and beating drums and drums to come here.

“What’s the situation?”

Lu Chuan, Wei Shang and others looked at each other, as if they were from the palace.

"It's General Manager Wang." Wei Shang said.

As he was talking, the team came closer.

"Doctor Lu!"

The leader Lu Chuan knew that he was the chief supervisor in the palace, and he smiled and said, "Please come on the chariot!"

"Um?"

Lu Chuan raised his eyebrows.

"Doctor Lu was on his way to Bei Chong this time and used a clever plan to defeat the rebel thieves in Xiqi. The king was very happy."

Wang Qing smiled and said, "When I heard that the lord came back today, I immediately held a banquet in the palace and summoned all the officials to celebrate the lord!"

"How did the king know that I'm back?"

Lu Chuan was stunned. After he solved Bei Chong's incident half a month ago, he had already sent a memorial to Emperor Xin, saying that he needed to attend Chong Yingbiao's funeral before he could come back.

On the way back, he was still considering the issue of these two boxes, so he came very low-key.
