King Yue Ji came back to her senses, let out a long sigh, and said: "Everyone in the world knows that the great king is the reincarnation of a god. He has written three books that make the world worship him, but he did not expect to have such a handsome man. It is difficult for gods and ghosts to defeat him. I, Dongyi, encountered the great king.
Such an enemy is really not blessed by God... The attack on our army's rear the day before yesterday must have been a clever plot by the king?"
Zhang Zixing did not deny it and sighed: "I feel ashamed to say that the leader of the army was too greedy for merit that day and was trapped by the Wushen Army. This plan must be my fault. In today's battle in the plains, I also miscalculated, causing casualties to the soldiers...
…”
"Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. Why should your Majesty worry too much about it? If the leader of the army had not made a mistake, this strange plan would have almost destroyed the foundation of our clan. I am terrified just thinking about it..." After King Yue Ji finished speaking, she realized that she actually seemed to be comforting her.
Enemy, please keep silent.
Zhang Zixing saw this in his eyes and did not say anything wrong. He continued: "Queen Cai once said that 'God will not bless Dongyi', which is really wrong! I want to ask you first, if I take action to quell Dongyi, what does the Queen think I will do?
How to treat the various tribes of Dongyi?"
"Dongyi and Dashang have been enemies for generations. If the king is really victorious... my clan will only be exterminated..." King Yue Ji thought about it and gave a reasonable answer, although this was something she was unwilling to face.
.
"What the Queen said is totally wrong! If it were an ordinary king, it might be like this, but who are you? How can you compare with those mediocre people!" There was a sense of arrogance in Zhang Zixing's eyebrows: "To stop killing by killing is the most stupid thing.
If any of these methods are omitted, the hatred will accumulate from generation to generation and will never be resolved. I will ask you again, why have Dongyi repeatedly invaded our Dachang border for generations?"
"We, Dongyi, are located on the border. Although we are close to the sea and have a vast territory, it is a barren and extremely desolate land. Life is difficult for all ethnic groups. Countless people have died of starvation and disease... Raising troops to invade the territory is a result of long-standing grudges and ambition.
The main reason for the suspicion is to plunder food and cloth." King Yue Ji smiled bitterly and said: "My family is good at moving but not good at defending, and we are self-aware. We have always only taken supplies and did not dare to occupy the city."
"What if I am willing to teach in the border areas, relieve the sufferings of all ethnic groups, and make the Eastern Yi people prosperous?"
King Yue Ji was shaken all over, her beautiful eyes widened, and she stared deeply at Zhang Zixing: "If your Majesty can really relieve the hardships of our tribe of barbarians for thousands of years, Yue Ji will definitely convince all countries to make the Eastern Yi people the ministers of the Great Shang forever!"
"If it is true as you said, everyone will be happy," Zhang Zixing shook his head and said: "It's just that the situation is stronger than the others. Our army is newly defeated, and the various tribes of Dongyi are not united and have their own plans. How can I be willing to submit to you?
Even if there is a long-term plan, there is no way to implement it. The current plan is to first use force to intimidate the countries so that they dare not rebel, and then use kindness and influence to make them come back."
Of course, Zhang Zixing had another meaning that he didn't say. With Dongyi's current combat power, he is still quite threatening, especially those two monsters. If they are not eliminated, they will always be a worry for him. Only by completely defeating Dongyi can he
Only by relying on it, using power and kindness at the same time, and making it completely surrender can we truly eliminate the foreign troubles to the east of the Great Shang Dynasty.
Facing King Yueji's subsequent tentative inquiry, Zhang Zixing talked eloquently, detailing various "advanced" concepts such as economic theory, ethnic integration, and cultural integration in later generations. As for the specific measures to help Dongyi get rid of poverty, details
On the other hand, he remained tight-lipped.
After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty in history, King Wu enfeoffed the princes and enfeoffed the land of Dongyi to Jiang Ziya, which was the State of Qi. The land of Qi State was barren and sparsely populated, making it very desolate. Jiang Ziya became the king of Qi State at the age of more than ninety years old.
On the one hand, he led people to cultivate the sea and fish, and on the other hand, he vigorously developed commerce. More than ten years later, Qi State became the richest place in the world with its fish and salt harvests, so Zhang Zixing was absolutely sure to develop and transform Dongyi.
King Yueji was moved when she heard this. She believed that the Shang Emperor was indeed capable of changing the future of Dongyi. She immediately knelt down and said, "Please, Your Majesty, regardless of past grudges, save Dongyi from suffering for generations... Yueji is willing to be a slave."
As a maidservant, I will serve the king all my life..."
Zhang Zixing knew that this Dongyi beauty was finally convinced. He smiled and stepped forward to help King Yueji up. He untied the rope himself and pulled her to the tent to sit down: "Yueji's words are serious. If my plan can really come true, Yueji will be mine."
The arm that governs the Eastern Land, how can it be said that it is a slave..."
"Your Majesty..." King Yue Ji was held by his hand and trembled slightly, but did not break away.
"'King' is what I call the princes or His Highness of the Great Shang Dynasty. The lord of the world should be respected as 'Emperor'. You can call me the emperor or your majesty." Zhang Zixing noticed her nervousness and pulled her to sit down.
Then he let go and asked seriously about Dongyi's military situation. King Yueji no longer concealed anything and answered them one by one.
The basic situation of Dongyi is similar to what Jiang Huanchu knows. Youqiong, Youhu, Youge, Zhongguan, and Zhenxun are the five major forces of Dongyi. Among them, Youqiong is the strongest.
support, and the Hu clan and the Ge clan have a particularly close relationship.
The Witch Sacrifice King is a direct descendant of the Jiuli tribe at that time. He has mastered the ore resources of Dongyi and the metallurgical method secretly passed down by the Great Demon Chi You for generations. The equipment of the Witch God Army under his command has been smelted by the secret method. It is extremely sharp and has forbidden magic and secret treasures.
He controls two ancient monsters, so although he only has a small territory, he is the absolute spiritual leader and authority of each tribe. For example, the invasion of Dashang this time was proposed by King Youqiong Cangjie, and the Witch Sacrifice King was approved at the meeting of all tribes.
It was launched after the decision was made.
Zhang Zixing thought of the extremely sharp long knives of the Witch God Army, which were far superior to the fine copper weapons of Dashang. His eyes flashed, and his determination to surrender to Dongyi became even stronger: Dashang is still in the Bronze Age, and iron tools rarely appear.
The knife must be made of iron or some kind of alloy. With Ultrain's database, the technical aspects can be considered effortless. The most scarce thing is resources. If those mineral deposits can be mined on a large scale and combined with Ultrain's modern smelting technology
, then it will not only greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the merchant army, but also create more things that transcend the times...
As for the Shang Army's defeat of Feng Xi and Jiu Ying today, it really gave Zhang Zixing a headache. According to Yue Ji, the reason why the Witch Sacrifice King could only control the two beasts was because of the small flag in his hand. That small flag was Chi You's two beasts.
One of the great secret treasures is the "Chi You Flag". However, the Witch Sacrifice King used the forbidden method to drive the Chi You Flag today, which must have seriously damaged his mind. It will take at least a month of cultivation to restore his vitality. Moreover, every time this forbidden method is used, it will damage the Chi You Flag.
It causes indelible damage to the mind. If it accumulates to a certain extent, the practitioner will become confused and die of madness.
Zhang Zixing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. From this point of view, the Dongyi Army did not have the strength to fight anymore. As long as they could destroy those two monsters, they would be able to overwhelm Dongyi in one fell swoop and completely eliminate the hidden danger to the east of Dachang.
According to King Yue Ji, both Feng Xi and Jiu Ying were ambushed by the great god Hou Yi in the past to protect the clan. Jiu Ying was originally an extremely powerful prehistoric monster, born in the deep mountains and swamps, with the vitality of yin and yang.
The dense clouds intertwined and transformed into each other. The body was extremely powerful and could spit poisonous fire and turbid water. The nine heads were equivalent to several lives, and as long as one life was still there, it could be restored by simply collecting spiritual energy from the sky and the earth. Hou Yi knew that it had
Nine lives, after shooting one head, not only will you not die, but you will recover quickly, so use the chain arrow method, nine arrows will be inserted into the nine heads of Jiuying almost at the same time, defeating it before it can recover.
.This Nine Infants is quite remarkable. After practicing for many years, they actually condensed the inner elixir and managed to survive by chance. However, their vitality was greatly depleted and they were captured by Hou Yi. After practicing for many years, they only gave birth to two heads, and their strength was greatly weakened.
Feng Xi is also an ancient alien species with astonishing brute strength, skin as thick as steel, and invulnerability. Because he was easily captured alive by Hou Yi at that time and suffered almost no damage, his current strength is higher than that of Jiu Ying, making him extremely difficult to deal with.
After listening to Yue Ji's story, Zhang Zixing asked: "So, all we need to do is follow the example of Hou Yi and shoot the Jiu Ying's head with two arrows at the same time and then destroy its inner elixir to destroy it?"
"How can ordinary bows and arrows hardly harm Jiu Ying?" Yue Ji shook her head and said, "Unless we find the Sun Shooting Bow and Sunset Arrow used by God Yi in the past, we can kill Jiu Ying, but these two treasures have disappeared.
My whereabouts have been unknown for many years, and my clan has been searching for them for many years with no results..."
Zhang Zixing didn't expect something so strange. He frowned and said, "Since the Sun-shooting Divine Bow and Sunset Divine Arrow have been missing for a long time, how can we find them now?"
Yue Ji thought for a long time and said: "There is also a treasure bow, which is also the nemesis of Jiu Ying. This treasure is the object used by Emperor Xuanyuan to defeat Chi You, the god of war in the past - the sky-shaking bow and the cloud-piercing arrow. If your majesty can find this treasure,
Jiu Ying should be able to break it."
"Zhentian bow, cloud-piercing arrow..." Zhang Zixing felt familiar at first hearing, and murmured it a few times, then suddenly remembered: Isn't this the same bow and arrow that Nezha accidentally shot at Shi Ji's disciples at Chentangguan?
This time I happened to summon Li Jing to go on an expedition. Could it be that I had some foresight?
Zhang Zixing knew what was going on, and after asking King Yueji about Dongyi's situation, he ordered her accommodation to be settled, and sent a maid to serve her. Then he summoned Li Jing for questioning.
"How is General Li's injury?" Zhang Zixing's first words moved Li Jing deeply.
Li Jing quickly replied: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will only have a flesh wound."
"I have a question, and I would like to ask General Li to answer it." Zhang Zixing went straight to the topic: "Are the Sky-shaking Bow and Cloud-piercing Arrow left by Emperor Xuanyuan in Chentang Pass?"
"Exactly, this treasure is the treasure of Chentangguan Town. It has been there since the end of the general's tenure as the commander-in-chief."
Zhang Zixing nodded with satisfaction: "I need this treasure now to defeat the enemy. Please send someone to get it quickly."
Li Jing accepted the order, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The last general has something to tell you. The Sky-shaking Bow and the Cloud-Piercing Arrow are the secret treasures of Emperor Xuanyuan. No one can use them yet..."
Zhang Zixing did not expect this step. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said: "This is not difficult...General Li, do you have a third son?"
Li Jing's expression paused: "Your Majesty, I have two sons at the end of my life. The eldest is Jin Zha, who worships Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun in Yunxiao Cave, Wulong Mountain as his teacher; the second son, Muzha, worships Samantabhadra in Baihe Cave, Jiugong Mountain as his teacher.
Jing's wife, the Yin family, has been pregnant for three years and has been unable to give birth. Zhengjue is surprised, why did His Highness say that she will have three sons in the end?"
Nezha hasn't been born yet? Zhang Zixing was immediately dumbfounded, then who would use the Sky-shattering Bow and the Cloud-Piercing Arrow?
