The form of persuasion to surrender naturally states that if you surrender, you will not die, but you can continue to enjoy the government of grace and become the lord of the land...
As for the secret, it was extremely sarcastic, saying that when Xibohou went to Chaoge, he was already unconscious, lost his composure at the banquet, and was suspected of being poisoned. The poisoner was Ji Fa, and even Boyi
Kaozao wanted to return to Xiqi to take charge of the overall situation, but unfortunately, Ji Fa launched an army and took his position, but he did not dare to return, for fear of losing his life!
For a time, rumors were flying all over Xiqi City. No matter where Ji Fa went, he felt as if someone was staring at him with malicious intent, especially those brothers, which made him feel even more untrustworthy.
Moreover, what made it even more difficult for him to understand was that both the surrender form and the secrets only mentioned him, but not a single word about Ji Dan.
"Mr. Jiang, what should we do?"
After the court meeting that day, Ji Fa returned to the mansion angrily after listening to the ministers asking strange questions about Boyi Kao, and then went to find Jiang Ziya, hoping that he would give him an idea to solve the current instability.
situation.
"Rumors stop only the wise, and they can't be stopped. If you want to shut up these people, you can only think about it in your heart, but don't dare to say it out. There are only two ways, or the king has the power to kill one to serve as a warning to others."
If you are afraid, shut up..."
Jiang Ziya was silent for a while and then said slowly.
"Ji Dan is in charge of Xiqi's defense. I want to take power, but it's difficult..." Ji Fa shook his head, and then, if he suddenly thought of something, he looked at Jiang Ziya in surprise and said, "Mr. Jiang, what did you just call me?"
"Your Majesty!" Jiang Ziya chuckled and continued: "Now that Xiqi has set up a rebellion, it is either life or death. Naturally, there is no need to respect Emperor Xin as the master. We, Xiqi, should have our own king! And for me
It seems that you, the great king, are the one whom heaven loves!"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." When Ji Fa heard Jiang Ziya's words, he couldn't help but show a look of intoxication on his face. He had worked so hard, and what he wanted in his heart was just this "Great King"? Now, someone finally asked him.
He shouted this.
It's a pity that he, the king, is somewhat unworthy of his name now. He and Ji Dan are now in charge of Xiqi.
How could there be two great kings in Xiqi City in the sky? Otherwise, which king would others listen to?
"If one day I am the king, then Mr. Jiang, you will be my prime minister!" After Ji Fa sighed for a moment, he made a promise to Jiang Ziya, and then said: "What is another way? Sir, let me know.
listen."
"The second way is to have a big victory! As long as we can win the first battle, then our morale will naturally increase. As for those rumors and doubts, they will be self-defeating and no one will mention them again.
If someone mentions it, they will only think it is a joke!" Jiang Ziya said slowly without thinking, word by word.
Big win?!
When Ji Fa heard this, his brows slowly wrinkled and he smiled bitterly.
Jiang Ziya's second method is more difficult than the first method.
After all, the great merchant soldiers have strong horses and high spirits, but here in Xiqi, people's hearts are scattered, and not only the high-level people, but also the slaves at the bottom are quite complaining. After all, the slaves in Chaoge have been freed.
However, the slaves of Xiqi still allowed themselves to be oppressed, working like cattle and horses, but they could not even get a full meal.
Now, one can imagine how difficult it is to get them to work hard in battle.
Even Ji Fa was a little worried that if he brought these slave troops to the battlefield, these slaves would turn back, rebel on the spot, tie him up, and offer him to Emperor Xin in exchange for freedom and wealth.
It's not that Ji Fa has never thought about changing this situation, but unfortunately, the situation in Xiqi City is too complicated. He cannot grasp the overall situation. No matter what he does, he will be hindered by others. There is no way to put some of the things in his heart into control.
Ideas, put into practice.
Ji Dan, Ji Dan, why don’t you die?
Suddenly, an idea popped into Ji Fa's head.
"Master, Mr. Jiang, there are two Taoists outside the door asking to see Mr. Jiang."
At this moment, a servant hurriedly ran in, bowed respectfully to Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya, and said:
"Taoist?" Ji Fa glanced at Jiang Ziya in confusion, not quite understanding what he meant.
"Which senior brother may be bringing his disciples to help Xiqi! Please come!" After Jiang Ziya thought for a while, his eyes immediately showed joy, and after saying an excited sentence to the slave, he followed, waved his hand, and stopped the slave.
He said to Ji Fa: "Your Majesty, my senior brothers are very capable and noble. We still have to treat each other with courtesy. It is better for you and me to meet together."
"Okay." Ji Fa was overjoyed when he heard this, nodded without thinking, and agreed.
Soon, the two people hurriedly walked out the door. After a while, they saw two Taoists, one old and one young, wearing hydration suits, wearing cloud crowns, fair faces, and hemp shoes.
Especially the young Taoist, who is tall and handsome, with an upright eye between his eyebrows, and is absolutely extraordinary.
"Senior Brother Yuding!"
As soon as Jiang Ziya saw the person coming, he immediately showed a look of ecstasy on his face, walked forward quickly, saluted the old Taoist priest respectfully, and said.
"Junior Brother Ziya, I heard that Xiqi raised a flag of rebellion and wanted to uphold justice for heaven, and to fight against the unrighteous with the Tao, so I followed the teacher's orders and brought my disciple Yang Jian to Xiqi for a visit to see if there is any of my master and disciple.
What people can do..."
The old Taoist priest nodded slightly to Jiang Ziya and chuckled.
"Yang Jian has met my uncle." Yang Jian clasped his hands and saluted Jiang Ziya, saying, "If my uncle wants me to do anything, just ask him."
"Senior Brother Yuding and Senior Nephew Yang Jian, you came at the right time. Now Chaoge's army is approaching and stationing troops at Jinji Ridge. Your Majesty and I are discussing countermeasures and thinking about who should be sent to fight in the first battle in order to win in one fell swoop. You two can be said to be
It solves my urgent need!" Jiang Ziya laughed again and again, and after saying something cheerful, he pointed at Ji Fa next to him and introduced to the two of them: "This is Ji Fa, the current master of Xiqi!"
"I have met Master Xiqi." Master Yuding and Yang Jian nodded to Ji Fa and saluted, and then said: "If Master Xiqi wants us, master and apprentice, to do anything, feel free to arrange it. As long as it is beneficial to the overall situation, we master and apprentice will
Willing to obey orders."
"Then can you help me kill Ji Dan?" Ji Fa's eyes lit up and he said hurriedly.
Upon hearing this, Master Yuding immediately frowned, and a mocking smile appeared on Yang Jian's heroic cheek, saying: "Master Xiqi, if my master and I remember correctly, that Ji Dan seems to be
you
Brothers, right? You want us masters and disciples to kill your brothers for you? Moreover, who are our masters and disciples? You actually want us to help you attack ordinary people. What do you think of us? We are beasts.
Star?"
As soon as Yang Jian finished speaking, Ji Fa's face turned as ugly as the bottom of a pot.
However, how did he know that Yang Jian was harmed by his uncle the Emperor of Heaven and his aunt the Queen Mother of the West? He had lost family ties since he was a child. Back then, he even cut down a mountain to save his mother. He valued family ties the most. His younger sister at home was treated as if he were a treasure.
She is a total girl-controller.
But now, Ji Fa actually asked him to help kill his brother, how could he not feel ridiculous?
"Hahaha, your Majesty is just joking. Junior nephew Yang Jian doesn't need to take it seriously." Jiang Ziya saw that the atmosphere had solidified, and hurriedly found an excuse to excuse Ji Fa, and then said: "You don't know, nephew Yang Jian, that Ji Dan
He no longer regards the king as his elder brother. He has repeatedly contradicted me and ruined many of the king's plans. He can no longer keep me. Otherwise, the king, who cares so much about brotherhood, would never have made such a move."
"Yes, that's right! If my brother hadn't forced me too much, I wouldn't have had murderous intentions towards him." Ji Fa heard the sound and hurriedly explained.
However, his words were not completely false. Just as he wanted to kill Ji Dan, Ji Dan was actually planning to kill him.
"Even so, that won't work." Yang Jian said indifferently. Although he didn't sneer or ridicule anything, he still said in a deep voice: "Besides, don't say anything to us again about this brother-in-law feud in the future. We, master and apprentice, are
