Yang Tuo summarized four things that he could think of for the time being. He planned to implement them one by one to make the people of the human race live a better life.
Princess Long Ji followed Yang Tuo all the way, not saying much, just observing silently. The people in this world are still different from the heavenly beings.
The body of a deity is extremely pure, not stained by dirt, and is full of light like glass, and his eyes are clear and bright.
The common people in the human world have to suffer from the eight sufferings, which are the suffering of birth, the suffering of old age, the suffering of illness, the suffering of death, the suffering of love and separation, the suffering of resentment and hatred, the suffering of not getting what you want, and the suffering of the five yin beings burning.
Therefore, the Heavenly Path is the first path of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and is the superior path. The Human Path is the third path of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and is ranked after the Asura Path.
However, although it is miserable in the human world, it is also the easiest path to achieve true enlightenment. As the saying goes, the world of mortals refines the heart, it can only be discovered through experience.
Princess Longji was born as a heavenly being and had never experienced suffering in the world. Even though she was demoted to the Qingluan Dou Palace in Fenghuang Mountain, she still had fine clothes, fine food, fine wine and dew. She was accompanied by fairy boys and palace maids.
When have you ever seen this tragic situation in the human world? This may be one of the reasons why God Haotian demoted him to the human world. Let him go through many hardships in the human world, and then break through the world of mortals and advance further in his cultivation.
Along the way, Princess Longji's kindness sprouted, and she did not hesitate to help anyone who needed help.
It left a good impression among the people of Xiqi.
Yang Tuo traveled all the way and saw the customs of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the lives of the people, and the thoughts of the people.
Relying on the four frameworks I summarized, many ideas slowly emerged in my mind.
Just wait until it is perfected and then implement the appropriate ones one by one.
Finally, Yang Tuo returned to the city and ordered some issues that needed to be dealt with by the government so that someone could take over.
And he resumed his old life, meditating and practicing Qi every day. But besides this, he also did one more thing, which was to write books and create slips.
Compile everything you can think of and use in agriculture into a book and spread it around the world. Make your own contribution to the human race in this ancient world!
On this day, Yang Tuo was meditating and practicing when he suddenly heard that Jiang Ziya was visiting. Jiang Ziya was very busy recently and rarely had time to come to Yang Tuo's Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
I came here today. According to Yang Tuo's idea, I was afraid that there was something important to discuss. He immediately led two boys, Gao Ming and Gao Jue, out to greet him.
Yang Tuo looked at Jiang Ziya and asked with a smile: "Brother Taoist, why are you free today and come to my place?"
Jiang Ziya said: "The matters after the war have just been settled. Today I have important matters that I want to discuss with fellow Taoists."
When Yang Tuo heard this, he thought to himself: "It's true." He didn't speak, but just looked at Jiang Ziya.
Jiang Ziya immediately said: "So far, Chengtang has attacked me thirty-six times, and I, Xiqijun, have won great victories. All the eight hundred princes in the world have come forward to invite King Wu to form an alliance with Mengjin to attack Wudao together.
Therefore, I have come to consult with fellow Taoists!"
After listening to Jiang Ziya's story, Yang Tuo thought to himself: "It's time for the Eastern Expedition!" Then he looked out the window.
The weather outside the window has passed the cold winter, and the breath of early spring is filling the air. Several months have passed since the last war, and time has erased the traces of the war.
The trees in the courtyard have sprouted new buds, just like this world, it is time to change dynasties and rejuvenate.
Yang Tuo turned his head and said to Jiang Ziya: "Now, the time has come to defeat Zhou. The world should return to peace!"
Jiang Ziya also said excitedly: "That's how it should be!" He had a mission when he came down the mountain. He needed to become a god on behalf of heaven and complete the mission assigned by his teacher.
He has never forgotten that becoming an immortal and attaining Taoism is his wish. As long as he completes the teacher's task, he will have the opportunity to continue practicing.
The two men then discussed and decided to set the day for dispatching troops on March 15th in the 30th year of King Zhou.
After Jiang Ziya finished discussing with Yang Tuo, he returned to his hometown to prepare his troops and give advice to King Wu. At the same time, he ordered people to prepare food, grass and baggage, select soldiers, and train troops and horses.
Soon after, at the court meeting, Jiang Ziyajin said:
"Today, the King of Shang disrespects God and blasphemes the sacred. He harms all peoples and poisons all countries. He has lost all conscience and is cruel and unkind."
"Inflict torture, harm loyal and good people, love villains, and distant virtuous ministers. Kill wives and children, conduct caesarean sections to examine babies. Build palaces on deer platforms, build wine ponds and meat forests, and entertain women's hearts with the wealth of the world."
"If the country is not repaired, the ancestral temples will not be enjoyed. The evil is overflowing, and both heaven and man have abandoned it. Today, the princes of the world have gathered in Mengjin to form an army to defeat the people and fight against evil, so as to save all the people from water and fire."
"Please, your Majesty, please go up to heaven and be virtuous for good health, think about the princes and have a peaceful mind, think about the common people who are suffering from hanging upside down, lead the king's teacher, and lead heaven to carry out punishment, then the country will be blessed and all the people will be blessed!"
When King Wu heard this, he was silent for a long time.
Then King Wu said: "The Prime Minister's words are very reasonable. King Zhou is unethical and has been abandoned by the whole world, so he should be conquered."
As he spoke, he sighed and said: "Of course, the former king has said that you should not attack your king! If you violate the words of the king, it is unfilial. If you attack the king with your ministers, it is unfaithful. If you do this, wouldn't you become an orphan?
An unfaithful and unfilial person!"
Jiang Ziya hurriedly said: "How dare I put the king in a position of disloyalty and unfilial piety? However, all the princes in the world will all ally with Mengjin.
There are also three people, Dongbohou Jiang Wenhuan, Nanbohou Eshun, and Beibohou Chongheihu, who issued documents to inform the world. If any of the princes on the road does not come, they will be asked about their crimes first, and then attack Wu Dao.
If I, Xiqi, had not come, wouldn’t I have annihilated myself from the feudal lords? When the time comes, the whole world will fight together, and I will regret it. Please think again, my king!”
San Yisheng, a senior official, stepped forward and said: "What the Prime Minister said is actually a plan for the country, and the king must listen to it. Today, all the princes are in Mengjin. If I, Xiqi, are not here, I will be labeled as aiding Zhou and tyrannizing.
When the army comes to attack, I, Xiqi, will never have peace."
Yang Tuo also stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, why don't we lead the troops to meet at Mengjin first, and join the other princes in the world to arrange the troops and the suburbs of Shang to observe the politics of Shang. If they change and the world is stable, we will return to Xiqi. If they don't change,
, then the whole world will be punished together. Wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?”
After hearing this, King Wu said: "The words of the national master are reasonable! It is indeed a complete strategy. I wonder how many troops are needed to send out troops this time?"
Jiang Ziya replied: "Although the Yin Shang Dynasty has lost popularity, after all, it has a profound foundation and hundreds of years of accumulation, which cannot be underestimated. This time we send out troops, we should have an army of 600,000 to have a chance of winning!"
King Wu heard this and said, "In that case, just follow what the prime minister said."
Afterwards, King Wu sent an edict: "I worship the Prime Minister as the General of the Left, and give him Bai Yan and Huang Yue to take charge of the army and carry out special expeditions. It can be done easily! I worship the Imperial Master as the General of the Left and King Wu Cheng as the General of the Right. They will lead the army together."
Ally with Mengjin."
At this point, the Eastern Expedition has been decided. Jiang Ziya followed Wu Ji to build a high platform in Qishan, and after the fifteenth day of the third month, after the national masters offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, they paid homage to the generals at Jintai and swore an oath to go on the expedition!
He led the army to practice formations on the school grounds.
They are:
A long snake array,
Two dragons emerge from the water,
Three Mountains Moon Formation,
Four-door Douban Formation,
Wuhu Bashan Formation,
Liujia Ecstasy Array,
Seven vertical and seven capturing formations,
Bagua Zimu array,
Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation,
Formation of the Ten Dynasty Ming Kings.
All the soldiers practiced hard in the school field and did not dare to slack off.
