Xiqi Rebels, the Lords Rise

The Primordial Human Realm.

The atmosphere of war is slowly approaching.

With the establishment of the Zhou Ji Chang by Lord of the West Ji Chang, the Duke of Zhou, the state was named Great Zhou.

The news of the plot to Campaign Against Shang spread like wildfire throughout Human Race and kingdoms.

All the Human Race and vassal states in the world were stunned.

Ji Chang, how dare you do this?

Did they eat the gall of a bear or a leopard?

The Cheng Tang dynasty's foundation is everlasting and as stable as Mount Tai. How dare you, a mere mortal, plot a rebellion?

However, Ji Chang Changju was advancing with unstoppable momentum, conquering the territory of the Yin Shang.

However, King Di Xin has not yet made a statement.

Those various vassal states with ulterior motives couldn't help but feel restless.

Not long after, the Seventy-Two Lords of the North Sea, led by Yuan Futong, also rose in rebellion.

In a short time, the Shang Kingdom were engulfed in continuous warfare and endless battles.

Di Xin looked at the reports of war breaking out everywhere, but showed no panic.

Everything was arranged very calmly and auspiciously.

The provisions, troops, army, internal affairs, generals, and civil officials were all in good order.

Grand Tutor Wen Zhong and Royal Uncle Bigan suppressed the civil and military officials in the court.

Externally, renowned generals such as Martial King Huang Feihu, launched attacks in all directions to quell the rebellion.

Therefore, the Great Shang Dynasty appeared to be engulfed in constant warfare.

In reality, not many cities were actually attacked.

The area is mostly mossy, marginal land.

The residents are mostly ethnic minorities and barbarian tribes.

There were very few true subjects of the Great Shang Dynasty.

In the heart of the Great Shang Dynasty, the people continued to live and work in peace and contentment, just as before.

Even if someone with ulterior motives spreads rumors and causes cholera among the people.

They were all arrested and brought to justice by the public security police, and were thoroughly investigated and interrogated.

Under Di Xin's series of combined attacks, the entire Shang Kingdom, which was initially in turmoil, instantly entered a period of peace and stability.

Jiang Ziya and the others exchanged bewildered glances after receiving intelligence from spies within the Shang Dynasty.

Their plan was to launch a surprise attack on the Great Shang while it was off guard.

It's even possible that a decapitation strike could be carried out.

They purged the upper-class nobles and military leaders of the Shang Kingdom.

Without a leader, the Shang Dynasty was bound to fall into power struggles and internal strife.

At that time, it will be an opportunity for the various vassal states, such as Xiqi, to take advantage of the chaos.

Who would have thought that the imagined incompetent King Zhou would not appear, but instead a wise and benevolent ruler who planned strategically, won decisive victories, and diligently governed the country.

For a moment, the faces of Jiang Ziya and the other disciples of the Elucidation Sect all darkened.

This battle is much harder to win than I imagined.

Meanwhile, the noble classes of the various vassal states and regions that followed were thrown into a panic.

What if the Great Shang realizes what's happening and starts a counter-encirclement and suppression of their Fang Kingdom?

Could it be that they died before they even got off to a successful mission?

Even now, Jiang Ziya still has a knack for winning people's hearts.

He quickly gave a wink, signaling the disciples Elucidation Sect the Chan Sect to unleash their supernatural powers.

Let these ordinary people see what it means to have great supernatural powers and boundless magical abilities.

Seeing the disciples of the Elucidation Sect display their extraordinary skills, moving mountains and seas, chasing the wind and controlling lightning, the feudal lords and states were all amazed and exclaimed that they were gods.

Ji Chang, the current ruler of the Great Zhou Kingdom, now looked at Ji Chang with a newfound sense of envy and awe.

No wonder Ji Chang said he was acting in accordance with Heaven's will.

It turns out that a celestial being was secretly guiding the way.

The Western Zhou Dynasty was truly destined by Heaven.

soon.

The alliance of feudal lords led by Xiqi.

They marched to the border of the Great Shang Kingdom, in front of Sishui Pass.

To challenge.

It is worth mentioning that the first border pass of the Great Shang Dynasty Chongcheng Pass.

They had already been subdued by Xiqi.

The vassal Chong Houhu defected to Xiqi, and with the help of those inside and outside, they captured Chongcheng Pass.

In front of Sishui Pass.

Han Rong, the Great Shang guarding the Shang Dynasty, looked at the well-disciplined army of the Xiqi Zhou allied lords.

His expression subtly changed.

He never expected that such a small kingdom as Xiqi could train such elite troops.

This is enough to show that Marquis Ji Chang of the West, had long harbored rebellious intentions towards the Great Shang.

Thinking of this, Han Rong couldn't help but feel angry.

Clinging to the city wall, he glared angrily at Ji Chang and his men, the leaders of the Xiqi army.

He shouted, "Is the visitor Marquis Ji Chang of the West?"

They saw the border guards shouting.

Ji Chang thought that he might be able to influence the other party.

Without much thought, he spurred his horse to the front of the battle, covered the curtain with his hand to shield himself from the scorching sun, and raised his head slightly to look at Han Rong.

"Ji Chang is here."

"General Han, Great Shang Dynasty is now acting against the tide of history. Di Xin is levying exorbitant taxes and levies, which has already caused great suffering to the feudal lords and widespread resentment among the people."

"Why don't you abandon darkness and submit to my Western Zhou, and establish yourselves under the Mandate of Heaven?"

To be honest, Ji Chang has a refined and sage-like appearance, and seems very approachable.

His speech is also very engaging.

Although it was only a few sentences, it was already captivating.

Many soldiers who felt their talents were not recognized, or who had their pay withheld by their superiors, or who had suffered unfair treatment, began to stir slightly.

They're not stupid.

Everyone knows that the change of dynasties was the opportunity for ordinary people like them to rise in social class.

But Han Rong just gave a cold laugh.

He shouted back, "You traitorous scoundrel!"

"Our Cheng Tang has weathered thousands of years of storms and come this far. What kind of situation haven't we experienced?"

"Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our past kings, our Human Race is now rich in the four seas and encompasses the Nine Provinces provinces."

"Marquis Ji Chang of the West, who has received the king's favor for generations, does not think of repaying the king, but instead repays kindness with enmity, is a wolf in sheep's clothing, and plots rebellion."

"Have you ever considered how many innocent people, following your ambitions Marquis Ji Chang of the West, will have their families destroyed, their wives and children torn apart, once the flames of war break out?"

"I think you're just trying to bewitch people. It's not some so-called destiny, but your own wolfish ambition to become king and dominate!"

"Ji Chang, do you plead guilty?!"

Han Rong shouted loudly, his voice echoing for miles around.

The garrison at Great Shang Sishui Pass, which had been somewhat agitated, immediately calmed down.

That's right.

Even if there were an opportunity for a change of dynasty, it might not be their turn.

Generals die in a hundred battles, soldiers return after ten years.

Two armies faced each other, engaging in warfare.

How many soldiers died in the suburbs.

They were just ordinary people.

Being able to receive a soldier's pay is a great favor from the king.

Where is there any chance of being favored by fortune and turning one's life around?

They were just cannon fodder in the end.

They were all seasoned soldiers who had served for many years, and they knew they couldn't be easily swayed by a few words from Marquis Ji Chang of the West.

Unless Ji Chang can provide real gold and silver and a contractual promise.

But it is very clear that Ji Chang has nothing now.

Being called a heartless and treacherous wretch by a mere border guard, even with Ji Chang's profound composure, caused his hair to stand on end and his face to flush red.

He immediately gave Jiang Ziya a cold wink.

Jiang Ziya understood.

He immediately summoned a disciple of the Elucidation Sect.

They planned to shoot and kill the garrison commander of Sishui Pass first.

At that time, without anyone to command, the defending troops will be a disorganized mess.
