Chapter 400: Wind Cockroach’s Strange Plan to Destroy Zhou
Xiqi.
Ji Fa, Jiang Ziya, Feng Li, and Yang Ren are visiting the secret vault of the Secret Weapon Hall.
Yang Ren picked up a long sword on the weapon rack and handed it to Ji Fa with both hands. Ji Fa looked at the sword and signaled Jiang Ziya to strike with the bronze sword. In the end, they struck twice, and the bronze sword clanked.
, broke into two pieces, fell to the ground, and made a crisp sound.
Ji Fa laughed heartily and looked at the steel sword in his hand as if he had found a treasure. He couldn't put it down.
Feng Li praised sincerely on the side: "What a magic weapon! This sword is extremely sharp. Although it is not as good as the weapons of the Immortal Family, it can be called the best in the world. Not to mention that the weapons of the Immortal Family must be made of real fire immortal materials.
Refining, refining a handful of steel is extremely difficult. But the secret method that Dr. Yang has now presented can quickly refining such high-quality steel in a simple and applicable way, which is really admirable!"
Yang Ren glanced at Feng Clan indifferently and didn't say anything. He and Feng Clan had always been at odds with each other. The cause was Feng Clan's "swearing" when he persuaded her to surrender. Although they are now ministers in the same palace, they still can't lose face.
Come on. For Ji Fa, as long as the two of them don't bring this kind of emotion into official business, some small conflicts will restrain each other. For the superior, it will be easier to control, so at most they can just give a few words of innocuous advice.
Ji Fa thought of something and suddenly asked: "Yang Qing, this secret method is contained in the Great Shang Divine Weaponry? In this case, doesn't the Great Shang also have a large number of these magical weapons?"
If so, no matter how many weapons he produces in the next few months, they can't be compared to Dashang's inventory of several years?
Yang Ren knew what Ji Fa was thinking and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your Majesty. What Dashang uses is just a hundred steel-making methods. It uses more than a hundred fires to forge fine iron, and each forging is called a light one.
When the weight is not reduced after exhaustive forging, it is pure steel, which will not be consumed even if it is refined a hundred times. However, this method requires repeated forging and folding, even hundreds of times, which is laborious and time-consuming. Therefore, the output of Dashang has not been high, and most of them use this steel.
It is used on the arrow clusters of the elite archers. The armor-piercing arrows used by the elite archers in Jinjiling before were made using this method. Now these secret methods are what I have tested many times and learned from hundreds of steel-making methods.
Derived from it, it is called the steel filling method. I am the only one in the world who knows this personal secret. This method is roughly to use soft iron to bend it, but to trap pig iron in it and seal it with mud. The forging order is combined, which is called
Tuan steel, also known as pouring steel. Compared with the steel-making method, this method is a hundred times simpler and faster, and can be quickly promoted and applied in large quantities. In addition to the blue steel sword, there are also refined iron scimitars, iron armor and various
The strange weapons are all made by pouring steel. I can guarantee that as long as we can invest financial resources, we can quickly spread these equipments to the army, and the output will be far greater than the combined output of Dashang in several years!"
Ji Fa visited some of the other "magic weapons" and found that they were indeed much better than the current equipment in the army, and the power of some of the weapons was far beyond his imagination. He was full of praise for the moment.
Yang Ren saluted and said: "Most of these ordnances are secretly researched and developed by my subordinates. Their power is far more powerful than the items in the Great Shang Shen Weapon! If they can be used in war, they will be able to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. Your Majesty King Meng
Now I have used up all my knowledge to repay the kindness of knowing and encountering you. I just hope that I can help the king achieve great things!"
Ji Fa nodded and praised him profusely. Since the new weapon proposed by Yang Ren required a large amount of funds, which far exceeded the military budget, he hesitated at that time. After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to invest money first, produce samples, and observe
What is the effect? If it is worth investing, we will make up our mind to support it at all costs; if the effect is not satisfactory, we will give up in time to avoid wasting money. Practice has proved that the effect of these weapons far exceeds Ji Fa's expectations. If it should be
In the war, he was invincible, so he immediately made up his mind to exhaust the national treasury and private treasury, try to raise funds, and make every effort to support the casting of new weapons.
Now the princes from the east, south, and west have made it clear that they are helping each other, forming an encirclement against the great merchants. As long as Xiqi can possess these powerful new weapons, he will definitely be able to eliminate the merchant army along the way and take control of Chaoge, in order to realize his long-term ambition
Long-cherished wish.
The more Ji Fa thought about it, the happier he became, and he blurted out: "With such magical soldiers, it is just a matter of time to defeat Shang and destroy Zhou! Yang Qing has accomplished such a remarkable feat, and he will be treated favorably in the future!"
Yang Ren hurriedly thanked him, but at this time Feng Chong interjected "out of time": "Your Majesty, your words are wrong! Although these magic soldiers are amazing, it is nonsense to say that they can defeat Shang and destroy Zhou.
.In my opinion, even if this magic weapon can be mass-produced and equipped with our army, it will not be able to defeat the great merchants. If we start an attack rashly at this time, I am afraid that the winning rate will be less than 10%."
Yang Ren was furious: "Feng Biao! The miraculous effect of this magical weapon has been personally experienced by the king. What are your intentions in belittling me so deliberately? If you don't explain why you are here today, I will never let you go!"
Ji Fa had learned from the defeat of Jinji Ridge and became a lot more cautious. He knew that Feng Li was always very scheming. Since his next assertion would never be groundless, it must be reasonable. He asked politely: "Please, please
Please explain in detail, sir.”
Feng Li smiled slightly and said unhurriedly: "If we think about it in terms of conventional military theory, relying on the master's magic weapon, Prime Minister Jiang's strategy, and my powerful Western Zhou generals and elite soldiers, we can defeat the Great Shang with nearly 80% chance.
The chance of victory is just..."
When Ji Fa heard that there was an 80% winning rate, he felt itchy and asked quickly.
"In the last battle at Jinjiling, the Shang army used archers and cavalry to unexpectedly win, and our army's heavy cavalry suffered numerous losses. They relied on these magical weapons. However, victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. Although we were defeated in this battle, our army was still able to
Stand tall and fight again. But what finally made us retreat to Xiqi was not the common sense of military strategists, but... the Immortal! This is the key factor that affects the situation of the battle!" After saying that, Feng Li shook his head and sighed: "I am also a practitioner.
People who know the level of cultivation of immortals. Immortals are divided into three levels: true immortals, golden immortals, and mysterious immortals. Among them, the mysterious immortals are the most powerful. Our army has the Chan Jiao to help the immortals from the Western religions, while the Jie Jiao supports the Great Shang.
.There are many elites in the Jie Sect, and there are nearly ten Xuanxians. However, the Chan Sect and the Western Sect combined do not have this number, and their level is low, so it is difficult to withstand the enemy."
Ji Fa was shocked and said: "Is this Xuanxian really so powerful?"
Yang Ren was not a cultivator and had a blank look on his face, but Jiang Ziya knew it well: in the battle of Jinji Ridge, Zhao Gongming used five-color light and rare treasures to defeat the immortals, including mysterious immortals like Lu Ya and Xuanji Zhenren.
There is simply no one who can do it; then Sanxiao Empress of Sanxian Island formed a nine-bend Yellow River formation, and took out all the golden immortals of Chanjiao. In the end, it was the saint who took action to save the immortals. The strength of Jiejiao is actually far superior to that of Chanjiao and
Above the Western religion, and now that the Chan religion and the Western religion are in disgrace, I am afraid it will be even harder to resist the enemy.
Feng Li said again: "There are Hunyuan saints above Xuanxian, all of whom have great supernatural powers that can destroy the heaven, the earth, and the stars. There are three great saints in the Chan and Western religions, but there is only one in the Jiejiao. It seems that we are the most powerful.
There are advantages. But such saints are indestructible and transcendent. They will not take action easily. Even fights are only done occasionally between saints. Unless it is absolutely necessary, they will never take action against ordinary immortals. Therefore, from a practical point of view, I
Fang is actually at a disadvantage."
Jiang Ziya deeply felt that Feng Biao's analysis was extremely reasonable, and sighed: "What you said is correct, it is indeed like this!"
Yang Ren originally had an angry look on his face, but when he heard Feng Chong's explanation and Jiang Ziya also expressed his agreement, his anger gradually subsided and his expression became solemn. Ji Fa's ambition suddenly cooled down and he asked reluctantly: "
According to what you said, the immortals on Dashang’s side are far more powerful than ours?”
Feng Li replied affirmatively: "This is exactly the key point, otherwise no matter how powerful the magic weapon Dr. Yang presented, he would not be able to compete with the immortals. Regardless of those people from outside the country, the extraordinary talents of Dashang alone would not be able to compete with the immortals."
There are too many to count. If we face the enemy, our army will have no chance of winning unless..."
Ji Fa saw Feng Li's appearance, and there seemed to be hope, so he hurriedly asked: "What else? Please teach me, sir!"
Feng Biao's face straightened up and he told some truth. Ji Fa's eyes were filled with excitement when he heard it, and even Yang Ren and Jiang Ziya nodded secretly.
Feng Li's plan is to try to make the immortals and saints on both sides make a promise not to participate in this battle in the human world, and then call on all the princes to launch an all-out attack on Dashang. Relying on the information provided by Yang Ren
The magic weapons, combined with other advanced weapons in the Secret Arms Hall, will surely win by surprise and defeat Dashang in one fell swoop.
When Yang Ren saw that Feng Biao affirmed the power of his weapon, he did not deliberately embarrass him and put forward additional opinions. There were many strange people in Dachang, which were far superior to those in the Western Zhou Dynasty. This time, not only the immortals were prohibited from participating, but also the
All Taoist magic and magic are used in the war. If this is true, with the power of the new weapons of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the encirclement of the other three armies, the Great Shang will undoubtedly be defeated.
The more Ji Fa listened, the more excited he became. Hearing this analysis, as long as the immortals, the biggest supporter behind Dashang, could be removed, and there would be no Taoist "interference" on the battlefield, Western Zhou Dynasty could be sure of victory with the existing military power.
Jiang Ziya felt that Feng Li and Yang Ren's analysis was reasonable, but at the same time he also raised a question in his mind: How can this idea become a reality? Even if he goes to persuade the master Yuanshi Tianzun, make Chanjiao agree, and then try another way
Even the Western Sect, which was still vaguely standing behind the Western Zhou Dynasty, also agreed. However, how could the Tongtian leader of the Jie Sect agree? How could the Emperor of Shang agree?
Feng Li nodded and said: "What Prime Minister Jiang proposed is exactly the key to this plan. For this matter, Prime Minister Jiang will go to the Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain and ask the saints to find ways to unite the saints to reach a consensus and force the Jiao to be intercepted."
Agree to this. If we can get all the saints to unanimously agree to prohibit the immortals from participating in this war in the human world, and ban Taoism in the war, then our side will have at least an 80% chance of winning."
Yang Ren seemed to suddenly think of something and said: "The last time Dashang defeated our army at Jinji Ridge, its archers and cavalry were so powerful that they were almost impossible to defeat. Therefore, Dashang was also complacent and thought that even without relying on Taoist immortals, he could defeat our army.
Can easily defeat our army. The king can use clever tricks to force himself to have no choice, create a desperate situation and have to fight, show the enemy that he is weak, and then personally write a book of decisive battle to Dashang. In the book, Gao You can do poison this time
Taking the example of the harm caused by magic to the innocent people of Xiqi, it shows that the battle in the human world should be fought with human power, not immortals or Taoist magic."
Feng Li had an idea and added: "What the superior said makes sense. At the same time, the king can bribe the ministers in the court with heavy bribes, and use the contempt and complacency of the great merchants to prompt the emperor to agree to this matter. Once the emperor agrees,
, our army must have the power of the great law to break through the five passes and march straight in, join the three armies, and directly force Chaoge. Even if the emperor wants to go back on his word at that time, with the testimony of all the saints, he will not be able to break his promise."
"What a clever plan. The two Qings are really the right-hand men of the lonely king!" Ji Fa was radiant after hearing this. He turned his eyes to Jiang Ziya again and quickly added: "My father-in-law is here, plus
The two Qing families can rule the world!"
When Jiang Ziya heard this plan, he secretly praised: If Feng Chong and Yang Ren's plan can be followed, the Western Zhou Dynasty's chances of winning will be greatly increased, and the destruction of the Shang Dynasty will be just around the corner.
Ji Fa smiled and said: "My dear father, now that this plan has been decided, I will help you to go to Kunlun and report to the saint, and try to make this plan come true. If I seize the world in the future and ascend the throne as emperor, I will be the only one who respects the sect and commands all the people."
Pay homage!"
Jiang Ziya nodded happily and said, "I have been serving the king since I was young. I set out for Kunlun Mountain when I was young."
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiangfu." Ji Fa looked happy and said to Yang Ren: "Yang Qing, I was hesitant about the magic weapon at the beginning, which was really unwise and even delayed precious time. Now I
If we invest heavily and go all out to produce, how long will it take to equip it for the army?"
Yang Ren muttered: "In the Great Shang Shen Weapon, there is an 'assembly line' production method that can greatly speed up the speed and improve efficiency. Our army can also use it. As long as we have enough financial resources and manpower, we can do it in a few months."
Within a few days, a batch of magic weapons were produced. However, the iron ore resources are currently limited. If we want to equip the entire army with the entire set, I'm afraid..."
Feng Li pondered for a while and said: "It doesn't matter, Your Majesty, there is no need to assemble the entire army. There is already a lot of equipment in the Secret Arms Hall, which is far superior to ordinary armaments. You can take out all of them and use them in the army. Then build this time
The divine soldiers are distributed according to the needs of the arms, which can greatly increase the combat effectiveness. In fact, the same is true for Dashang's army, only the armor-piercing arrows are made of fine steel. The king can assemble an elite army, fully equipped with divine weapons.
The soldier suit can be used as a surprise soldier in key battles, and it can also be used as a personal guard to protect the king's safety."
Ji Fa nodded repeatedly and secretly praised the talents of these two people. With these two people around, Jiang Ziya, the "xiangfu", seemed somewhat dispensable. The reason why Jiang Ziya abandoned the Great Shang Dynasty and went to Xiqi was definitely
He got the instructions from the saint behind him and wanted to take advantage of Xiqi. At that time, he was still in his infancy and had no ambitions, so he trusted and valued Jiang Ziya unreservedly. Now, things are different now.
With capable ministers like Feng Li and Yang Ren, the reliance and trust gradually shifted towards these two people, further establishing the "own" power that truly belonged to him, the King of Wu. But for now, the war is not over yet, and Jiang Ziya is behind
Even with the support of saints and immortals, winning over others is still the priority.
Everyone discussed for a while, including how to build momentum to "force" Ji Fa to have no choice but to fight, which ministers of Chaoge should be bribed, etc. After the "meeting adjourned", Feng Li and Yang Ren were in a state of disbelief again.
They ignored each other, occasionally looked at each other, and snorted coldly without saying a word. Ji Fa believed that peace was the most important thing, so he pretended to persuade them a few words, and held a dinner for the three of them in the name of getting late.
But he didn't understand the true meaning of Fei Lian and Yang Ren's "eye contact".
One day later, Jiang Ziya drove Sibuxiang to the Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain. He was informed by the White Crane Boy that he entered the hall and paid homage to Yuanshi Tianzun. At this time, Guangchengzi and Chi Jingzheng happened to be in the hall, listening to some teachings from Yuanshi Tianzun.
, the Antarctic Immortal is also standing by.
Yuanshi Tianzun asked: "Ziya, why did you come to Yuxu Palace today?"
Jiang Ziya quickly told what Feng Biao and others had planned. When Guangchengzi, Chi Jingjing and Antarctic Immortal Wen heard this, they all showed surprise: In the war of the human world, immortals and Taoism are prohibited?
Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly, and after a little calculation in his mind, he said calmly: "You are rejecting this good idea! Little do you know that killing and calamity is the trend of heaven. If it is just a war in the human world, how can it be completed?"
Jiang Ziya didn't dare to tell the difference, but just told Ji Fa's promise to "explain the teachings exclusively".
Yuanshi Tianzun was moved when he heard this, and asked about the activities of the Western Sect in Xiqi. Jiang Ziya answered truthfully, saying that Garuda, who transformed into Luojia, had been taken away by the Taoist Zhunti, and the third generation Mingwang Jiang was poisoned. His whereabouts are unknown, and he has most likely died of poison. However, the Western religion has recently secretly sent a female Gandharva here. This woman is one of the eight tribes. She has a beautiful appearance, graceful figure, and is proficient in music theory. Ji Ji Fa often discussed music theory with him and seemed to be interested in him. However, Nagandharva's clever methods made Ji Fa obsessed with him and even alienated all the princesses.
A beauty plan? The Western religion has a good idea! A cold light flashed in Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes, thinking of Ji Fa's promise to "explain the teachings exclusively", he couldn't help but ponder.
Guangchengzi thought for a while and said: "Supreme Lord, please forgive my disciple for speaking frankly. Although my sect is secretly supported by the heavens, its strength has been greatly reduced after all, and no matter how strong the external force is, it is not our own strength after all. Furthermore, I The Sect and the Western Sect are on the same level. If you want to defeat the Jie Jiao... the chances of success are slim. Hearing that the Emperor of Shang has regained his prestige, the great businessmen are united. The day before yesterday, they implemented a strange strategy and almost brought down the Western Zhou Dynasty without a single blow. With the help of capable people, There are many heretics, and if we judge by common sense, it would be difficult for the Western Zhou Dynasty to defeat the enemy. From both sides, our religion is really at a disadvantage. If we don't try to reverse this trend, I'm afraid..."
Yuanshi Tianzun thought of the powerful force of Jiejiao and recalled the power of Xiaoyaozi, Xingtian and others. He knew that what Guangchengzi said was the truth, so he nodded slightly and said nothing.
The Nanji Immortal said: "My disciples think that Ziya's plan is feasible. I teach those who seek to kill the calamity, and it is their luck. If the Western Zhou Dynasty can destroy the Great Shang, and finally only respect my teaching, it will be the greatest victory. Why do we need to fight head-on with Jie Jiao? However, if we follow this plan, it will be difficult to handle the 'complete killing calamity' mentioned by Master."
The words of the Antarctic Immortal reached the heart of Yuanshi Tianzun. The saint is an immortal body. Even if he fights in the killing and calamity, it cannot damage the foundation. Therefore, what the saints value is nothing more than the safety of their disciples. It's just the fate of our sect. Although the heavens are currently chaotic, the Six Saints jointly calculated on that day that a Holy Lord was born in Xiqi, and it was certain that Zhou Xingxing and Shang Dynasty would be destroyed. Therefore, he sent Jiang Ziya to Xiqi to support Ji Fa. Seek the fortune of explaining the teachings in the future when the Great Zhou Dynasty flourishes.
Nowadays, the twelve direct disciples are walking away and dying, and they can no longer protect them. They simply devote all their energy to trying to seize their destiny. If the plan of the Western Zhou Dynasty is really followed to wipe out the great merchants and finally dominate the teachings, then The Chan Sect is the biggest winner. Compared with the Jie Sect, the victory or defeat of the Western Sect is of little significance. But the war in the human world is only a part of the killing. How can we take advantage of the war in the human world? , to completely end the murderous calamity and make Chanjiao the final winner?
Jiang Ziya remembered a few key words that Feng Li had "accidentally" reminded him of. He hesitated for a long time and said, "Master, I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not."
Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at Jiang Ziya in surprise and said, "Please tell me."
Jiang Ziya said: "According to what Master said, the killing calamity is nothing more than the reordering of heaven's ways and the restoration of gods. There are also many people with deep roots in the human world. This war in the human world will definitely cause countless losses. Since
It can be filled with a considerable number of immortals on the list of gods. As for the number of Xuan Dao immortals on the list... The master can plan a separate battle between the immortals of the three religions and conduct them simultaneously. However, regardless of victory or defeat, this battle is only about life and death. The biggest purpose is to prepare for the immortals who are on the list.
Count to complete the killing calamity. No matter which side wins the battle between immortals, once the battle in the human world is over, Shang destroys Zhou Xing, and only respects my teaching, my teaching can become the final winner. My disciple is stupid, this time
If I made a mistake, please forgive me, Master."
Yuanshi Tianzun did not expect that this "useless" disciple could unexpectedly say this truth, and he spoke it so logically that he was greatly moved.
Chi Jingjing praised: "Ziya Duan's good plan! This plan is both overt and covert. Overtly, it is under the guise of the battle of Xuan Dao, but secretly it relies on the victory of the Western Zhou Dynasty to achieve complete victory! But in the Western Zhou Dynasty, can you be sure of the battle with Dashang?
"
Jiang Ziya remembered Feng Chong's analysis and said: "If there is no Taoist cause, we should be 80% sure."
Yuanshi Tianzun personally planned the Western Zhou Dynasty's destruction of the Shang Dynasty. He was convinced of this and secretly thought that this was God's will?
"Ziya's plan is very clever," the Antarctic Immortal nodded and said: "It's just that the Jie Jiao behind Dashang currently has the upper hand. The Tongtian Saint is afraid that it will be difficult to agree to this plan. I hope that Master and the Western Sect will be able to
In the palace, the saints in the Wa Palace communicated with each other. As long as the Five Saints agreed to this method, the saints of Jiejiao could not stick to their own opinions. Moreover, as Junior Brother Ziya said, the Great Shang had a great victory at Jinjiling in front of them, so they had the intention of underestimating the enemy.
I will definitely not oppose this policy.”
"Western religion?" Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes flashed coldly, "You want me to compromise with Jie Yin and Zhunti?"
The Antarctic Immortal said: "Yes, Master not only wants to compromise this time, but also wants to unite the Western Sect against the Jie Sect in the future battle of Xuan Dao. The more balanced the strength of the two sides, the greater the casualties... It is enough."
The number of calamities..."
Yuanshi Tianzun already understood what the Antarctic Immortal meant, nodded secretly, and said: "Although this plan is feasible, you must not lose caution. Since the Western religion sent the Gandharva here, it must be to use women to seduce Ji Fa.
In the future, he will compete with our teaching for luck, so he should not be underestimated. The King of Wu must abide by his promise to "explain the teaching exclusively". If he is seduced by women, and my teaching will do something, even if it succeeds, it will not be the same in the end.
Is it taking advantage of Western teachings? Think carefully about this matter, act accordingly, and don't be too hasty."
The immortals nodded repeatedly, and then Yuanshi Tianzun showed a thoughtful expression and remained silent for a long time.
A few hours later, the boy Baihe, carrying a mysterious man in a cloak, left Yuxu Palace and went down the mountain with Jiang Ziya's Sibuxiang.
