Chuanyun pass, barracks.


    "Report! Marshal Lu, Prime Minister Jiang sent a letter. Nanbo Hou Eshun led his officers and men to Xiqi to help fight Yin merchants. Prime Minister Jiang specially ordered me to come and ask the marshal to put his military affairs in hand and return to Xiqi for discussion."


    Lu Zhichong nodded at the messenger and said, "this handsome man knows about it. Go down and have a rest first."


    After sending away the messenger, Lu Zhi didn''t delay. Even if he summoned the feather fairy, he turned into the real body of Dapeng, stepped on his back and returned to Xiqi city.


    After Xiqi fought back several times and even defeated the army of Yin merchants, seeing that Yin merchants had declined so far, the princes all over the world couldn''t sit still. They all imitated Xiqi and reversed the dynasty song.


    Of course, the reason for their anti Yin Shang was not because of the cruelty and ignorance of emperor Xin, but purely for their own interests.


    When it comes to this, I have to mention that Dixin''s great talent This sentence is brilliant and broad, and there is no irony. It means literally.


    It may be surprising to say that Dixin, who is greedy for pleasure and cruel and confused, is actually a very visionary and ambitious person At least once.


    After he succeeded to the throne, because he was worried about the support and self-respect of local princes and the differentiation of royal power, he has been "cutting off vassal" openly and secretly, with the intention of bringing back power and the control of all the people in the world and centralizing power.


    What is more surprising is that the tyrant who regards all the people in the world as grass mustard actually wants to break the current slavery and liberate those slaves in the world.


    No matter what his real thoughts and purposes are, these deeds alone can prove that emperor Xin is obviously a visionary and intelligent man. He once thought of sorting out the mountains and rivers under the rule of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.


    But unfortunately, this person is ambitious and talented, has vision, but has no means, and his will is not firm. His means of action is quite criticized.


    He wanted to "cut vassal ships" and abolish slavery. This was a good thing for the country and the people. If it was done, it would almost be a feat of re creating a prosperous Dynasty for the Yin and Shang Dynasties.


    But when Emperor Xin acted, he had no rules and no clever means.


    Obviously, cutting vassal power and abolishing slavery can not be accomplished overnight. Moreover, when taking action, we should be more cautious and cook frogs in warm water.


    But Dixin didn''t know what was going on. He had no intention to hide it. From the beginning, he made it clear that he had given it to the princes in the world. He wanted to take away their power, liberate their slaves and let them have nothing


    What is more criticized is that emperor Xin''s means of action is also extremely cruel and vulgar. He directly summoned the most powerful princes that day, either killed or trapped, and even didn''t make up a reason.


    All of a sudden, it directly poked the hornet''s nest. As the biggest vested interests in the world, how can those princes want to see their power deprived? Willing to let their own interests suffer?


    But nadixin didn''t know it. He just thought he was the Lord of the world. He should take life and death from those people, and no one dared to resist.


    As a result, the North Sea and the Bohai Sea turned against each other. Emperor Xin still didn''t care. He just thought that his Chaoge army was invincible and had been mobilizing the army to fight the rebellion for many years.


    At the beginning, the army of yin and Shang Dynasties was invincible. Everywhere they went, all the rebels were killed, which really made the land and power controlled by Chaoge city more. On that day, 800 princes were afraid and bowed down to be ministers, which seemed like the prosperity of a dynasty.


    However, in private, the world is full of undercurrent. How can those princes be willing to sit and wait for death? Under the surface submission, they have already had a rebellious heart in their hearts, planning and lurking in the dark.


    So a few years later, Dixin''s plan became more and more difficult to implement, and even there was no further progress for more than ten years.


    Then, Dixin gave up in frustration and no longer cared about his talent. Instead, he began to enjoy it. He just wanted to present all the best things in the next day to him for his enjoyment.


    But emperor Xin gave up halfway, but the 800 princes in the world would not! Especially after the Nine Tailed Fox demon entered the palace, Emperor Xin was more and more indulgent, and he could hardly even go to the court meeting, which made those princes excited and inexplicable and saw the opportunity.


    With emperor Xin''s indulgence and wanton, the Yin and Shang rivers and mountains, which were already plagued by domestic and foreign aggression, have become more and more volatile, so that they have developed to the extent that now all the world is against them!


    Therefore, the collapse of Yin Shang was almost doomed. Many people have seen this, and the 800 princes, without exception, wanted to take a share.


    Just like this Nanbo Hou Eshun who led troops to Xiqi to form an alliance, didn''t he deliberately come here after seeing that Xiqi side had the momentum to overthrow Yin Shang and replace it?


    In order to continue to ensure his interests and power after the change.


    Lu Zhi is not interested in these things that seek interests. Instead, he is interested in the army under the command of Nashun.


    Lu Zhi is still secretly thinking about that Eshun and his army. Xiqi city has arrived, and Lu Zhi takes back his thoughts.


    Let the feather wing fairy return to the handsome mansion and wait for summons. Then Lu Zhi turned into a streamer and went straight to the Xibo Hou mansion.


    After Lu Zhi arrived at the Xibo Marquis house, he didn''t have any special task, but as the commander of Xiqi, he met with Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya to see that Eshun and the other princes who came to form an alliance together. Jiang Ziya was also responsible for the next discussion, and Lu Zhi was happy to be free.


    An hour later, Lu Zhi left Xiqi city again and returned to Chuanyun pass. Three days later, na''e led his subordinates and the 140000 princes'' coalition formed by several other young princes to enter Chuanyun pass and fight against Yin merchants with Xiqi army.


    However, even with the help of these hundreds of thousands of princes, I''m afraid it''s not so easy to win Tongguan. After all, there are 400000 merchant troops in Tongguan, which can''t be easily conquered.


    In addition, Eshun and others, although they have formed an alliance with Xiqi and integrated their troops, the soldiers under him and others can not be transferred at will by Lu Zhi, so they must not be expected to help him conquer Tongguan.


    So in the end, it''s up to his Xiqi officers and men. At best, these princes'' coalition forces can help cover and feint. If they really want to fight a hard battle, I''m afraid they''ll have to "the enemy''s firepower is fierce. We can only retreat.".


    The climate has gradually warmed up. However, in a few days, the meaning of winter cold has completely receded, the snow in the mountains and forests has completely melted, and Lu Zhi has led the troops again to start the first battle of this year.


    This time, Lu Zhi was not ready to achieve much success. He was just ready to test the situation in Tongguan.


    But he didn''t expect that his army had suffered a first defeat before he arrived at Tongguan.


    Lu Zhi sent Yang Jian, Li Jing and Nezha as the vanguard, led 6000 soldiers to open the way for the army and explore the situation.


    However, the next day, the vanguard army was defeated and returned. Six thousand soldiers, half of them, Yang Jian and Nezha were wounded and returned. Li Jing was captured by the Shang army again


    In the handsome account, Yang Jian pleaded with Lu Zhi with a ashamed face. He only said that his leadership was disadvantageous, which led to the loss of his officers and men and failed to live up to Lu Zhi''s expectations. He really had no face to explain to Lu Zhi and asked Lu Zhi to punish him.


    "Well, Yang Jian, you don''t have to blame yourself. This defeat is not your responsibility, and Ben Shuai won''t pursue you."


    Lu Zhi had already known about Yang Jian''s defeat through Gao mingjue, and it was really not their fault.


    After all, even Lu Zhi didn''t expect that there were so many "celebrities" in Tongguan.


    Earlier, Yang Jian and his men had just reached the ten mile range of Tongguan when they were ambushed by the garrison of Tongguan.


    This is also a normal thing. After all, the role of marching first is to find out the road for the army and remove the hidden dangers of the army. Therefore, it is perfectly normal for the first army to meet the enemy.


    But the problem is that the business people Yang Jian met Those people were not expected by Lu Zhi at all.
