Chapter 412 - 412 Western Qi"s Rebellion

412 Western Qi’s Rebellion

At this moment, a messenger suddenly rushed into the hall.

“Report. An urgent report from 800 li away from Western Qi. The Marquis of the West, Ji Chang, was enlightened by an immortal. A phoenix called to Qi Mountain and a white tiger entered his tent. On the way, he met Jiang Ziya, who was fishing with a fishing hook. He asked Jiang Ziya to come out of the mountain and a.s.sist him. He became the Prime Minister and raised the anti-Shang flag. Now, he has rebelled.”

These words instantly caused the originally quiet hall to become noisy.

Ever since the Marquis of the West, Ji Chang, was a.s.sessed for the rebellion in the North Sea, his reputation in the human world had risen to another level.

In the past years, because of Di Xin, not only did Great Shang not become stronger, but it also declined. On the other hand, Western Qi continued to absorb the nutrients of Great Shang. Today, its national power was very strong.

At this time, Western Qi’s rebellion was definitely the worst news for Great Shang.

“Your reaction is really fast.”

You couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. If you hadn’t returned from the west, with Di Xin’s thinking, now that Western Qi was rebelling, he would definitely let it go and let it grow bigger.

As the highest ranking official in Great Shang, you immediately stood out and shouted coldly, “Quiet, noisy, what a disgrace.”

The entire hall quieted down after you shouted.

Wei Ziqi asked as he looked at the civil and military officials, “How long before Grand Preceptor Wen returns?”

Wen Zhong was the most important person in the capital’s eyes, and he was the link between the Shang dynasty and the Jie Sect.

In the original plot, when Wen Zhong died, his master, Jin Ling, was alone in the 10,000 Immortal Formation, fighting Heavenly Lord Guangfa, Samantabhadra Immortal, and Cihang alone, fighting the three great warriors alone, and not falling into a disadvantage at all.

Later, Dipamkara used the Sea-Pacifying Pearl to launch a sneak attack on him, which was why he died.

The status of Jin Ling was extremely high in the Jie Sect.

“Now that Western Qi is rebelling, no matter what, we have to bring Wen Zhong back.”

“My Lord, Grand preceptor Wen’s quelling of the rebellion in West-Hill is not going well. There are evil spirits helping the rebel army. I’m afraid it’s difficult to get out of it in a short time,” Bi Gan also said with a sigh.

If not for Wen Zhong’s departure and Fei Zhong’s constant dragging, the situation would not have turned out like this.

“As expected, he’s trying to stall Wen Zhong and prevent him from returning to the capital.”

‘You’ve underestimated me,’ you thought to as you looked at the military commanders present.

Your eyes lit up, and you immediately said, “Four generals of the Mo family, hear my order.”

There were quite a few people who could go to West-Hill to make a scene, but powerful ones like Kong Xuan could not be moved easily.

After all, the other party was a Saint of the Enlightenment Sect, and Buddhism was involved as well. It was better to proceed step by step and develop steadily.

“We are here.”

Below, the four generals of the Mo family all took a step forward.

All of them were convinced by you, Great Shang’s No.1 general.

It was all because you had asked them to attack you together, but they were no match for you.

“I order the four of you to quickly go to West-Hill in exchange for the return of Grand Preceptor Wen. If Grand Preceptor Wen has any doubts, just say that Western Qi created Dharma and the Human Emperor was captured.”

You know Wen Zhong’s personality, and he’d definitely rush back as soon as he learned that Emperor Xin was in danger.

The four generals of the Mo family received the order and walked out of the great hall, flying toward West-Hill.

“Grand Preceptor will return. There are still some matters to be done. However, Western Qi’s rebellion must be guarded against. Zhang Guifang, listen to my orders.”

You looked at Zhang Guifang. He 2qs one of the strongest generals in the Shang army. He only learned unorthodox techniques, but in terms of combat power, even an ordinary Earth Immortal was no match for him.

“Your subordinate is here.”

Zhang Guifang strode forward.

“I order you to return to your station quickly. Gather 100,000 elite soldiers and attack Western Qi. After you arrive at Western Qi City, don’t attack the city. Wait for further orders.”

“Yes, sir.”

Zhang Guifang’s face was full of surprise. He never thought that the great merit of conquering the rebellion would actually fall on him.

When he heard that Western Qi was rebelling, Zhang Guifang, who was loyal to Great Shang, wanted to lead troops to suppress the rebellion at the first moment. He didn’t expect that he would really be dispatched to go.

Zhang Guifang, who was very surprised, cupped his fists to the officials and left the hall.

After your orderly arrangements, the chaotic court finally quieted down.

Outside Western Qi City…

It had only taken half a month for Zhang Guifang to lead 100,000 troops and arrive outside Western Qi City.

Zhang Guifang had been rushing all the way.

Right now, under Western Qi City, war flags were fluttering in the wind, covering the sky and the sun. The terrifying military might was about to crush the entire city.

Ji Chang and Jiang Ziya led Western Qi’s civil and military officials to stand on top of the city wall. Looking at the dense army of one hundred thousand soldiers, they also felt a little weak in their hearts.

These years, their Western Qi copied everything from Great Shang and developed very well.

The only thing they had not mastered was the training of the soldiers.

The training of the Great Shang soldiers was perfect in concealment and couldn’t be detected at all.

Emperor Xin’s training method was also very simple. He directly took a pile of books, which were the militia training manuals.

The soldiers trained using this method might not be the strongest in combat, but they were definitely the most well-rounded soldiers.

In front of the Shang army, a man slowly stood under the flag.

It was Zhang Guifang. He rode out of the formation, pointed at the Dukes of Western Qi on the city wall, and directly cursed.

I heard that Western Qi is rebelling against the heavens. The Marquis of the West dared to disobey the laws of the country and made himself the emperor, damaging the country. They accepted the rebels and bullied the Grand Preceptor. Shifting your temple and cutting off your territory is still not enough to make up for your losses. If you cherish the lives of the people in the city, come to receive your beating. If you resist and we are forced to break into the city, you will be crushed into powder, and your navel will be devoured.”

Zhang Guifang cursed to his heart’s content, and the Dukes of Western Qi all showed fear on their faces.

Jiang Ziya shouted from the top of the city wall when he saw that the morale of the enemy was high and his side was not ready yet.

“You have come from afar. My Western Qi will not take advantage of you. You rest for three days. Three days later, my Western Qi will meet you at the city gates.”

Zhang Guifang was actually just there to scare them.

The troops’ combat power had already been weakened after rushing all the way here. Moreover, the order you had given him was not to attack the city, but to station.

Zhang Guifang didn’t say anything more, pulling his horse back and setting up camp 20 li outside Western Qi City, waiting quietly for three days later.

You rode the White Deer and stood above the nine heavens of Western Qi. Looking at the scene below, you couldn’t help but sigh. The ancient times were still better. How could there be rules in war? However, after more than 1,000 years, there would be someone called Sun Zi. It would be a pity to break this rule.
