Xiqi's Two-Million-Strong Army Sets Out
Yuan Futong then realized what was happening and quickly knelt down on one knee.
"Yuan Futong the imperial edict. Although he was a defeated general, he had some understanding of the incompetent ruler of Chaoge and Wen Zhong of Chaoge."
"Wen Zhong always led his troops with an open, upright, and peaceful approach, preferring to charge the enemy head-on, while that foolish ruler preferred to take risky military actions."
"If we meet again, whether it is Wen Zhong or that foolish ruler, I will surely thwart them and will not disappoint Your Majesty and the Prime Minister."
Although he is currently living under someone else's roof, the king and the prime minister value him so highly, how could he not seize this opportunity to make a name for himself?
As he said.
He really wanted to have another showdown with Chaoge.
Just then, Jiang Ziya shouted loudly again:
Where is Jin Zha?
Immediately, an extremely handsome young general stepped forward from the crowd.
This person was none other than Nezha's elder brother, Jin Zha, the eldest son of Li Jing.
Before Ye Xuan even transmigrated, Jin Zha had already been accepted as a disciple by the Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun.
When Ye Xuan went to Chentang Pass, he gave Li Jing some pointers.
Tell Li Jing to quickly recall his eldest and second sons to avoid accidental injury during the actual battle.
However, Li Jing was ultimately of low status and his voice carried little weight. He once sent people to find his two sons, hoping they would return.
The problem is that these two sons have been severely brainwashed.
He directly refuted Li Jing's words and even cursed at Li Jing, saying that his father was unreasonable and aided and abetted evil.
Ultimately, this led to Li Jing severing his father-son relationship with his two sons.
Now that the Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods Bodhisattva has sent out his disciple Jin Zha.
Jiang Ziya naturally intended to give this junior apprentice an important position.
"Today, I, Jiang Ziya, on behalf of the King, appoint you as the Left General, commanding the left wing of troops, totaling 100,000. Do you accept this decree?"
Hearing these words, Jin Zha was naturally extremely happy.
He had only been down the mountain for a short time when he suddenly became a general commanding an army of 100,000, which was obviously an extremely happy thing for him.
In future great battles, he is very likely to seize this opportunity to make great achievements and gain much merit.
This would greatly increase his strength, and thinking of this, he immediately knelt down.
"Jin Zha, receive the imperial decree!"
Jiang Ziya smiled slightly and nodded, then turned to look at the other person.
Where is Mu Zha?
Immediately, another young general dressed in silver armor stepped forward from the crowd.
This person was none other than Mu Zha, the second son of Li Jing.
Similar to Jin Zha's situation, the second son was taken away by Puxian Zhenren not long after his birth.
The Puxian Zhenren once said that Mu Zha was destined to be his disciple.
Therefore, he asked Li Jing if he could entrust his second son to him.
There was no so-called Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods at that time, and Li Jing was unaware of all of this.
Unfortunately, after sending his two sons away, the truth about the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods was exposed to the world not long after.
After receiving the decree from His Human Emperor, Li Jing had been trying to bring his two sons back.
In the end, all their efforts were in vain.
His eldest and second sons have both severed ties with him.
This deeply hurt him.
From another perspective, this also reveals just how powerful the Chan Sect's brainwashing techniques are.
Anyone who joins the Chan Sect is subjected to extremely severe brainwashing.
Li Jing's desire to bring his two sons back was clearly wishful thinking.
Now, the Puxian Zhenren has also brought Mu Zha to Jiang Ziya's side.
Now, upon hearing Jiang Ziya's call, Mu Zha naturally stepped forward, surpassing the crowd.
"Mu Zha, you are a disciple of the Puxian Zhenren, and must possess great supernatural powers. Today, I hereby appoint you as Right General, commanding an army of 100,000. Do you accept this decree?"
Upon hearing these words, Mu Zha naturally showed a joyful expression.
He had only been in the Xiqi camp for three days and had just come down from the mountain, so he was not yet familiar with everything.
His uncle immediately appointed him as the Right General, commanding an army of 100,000.
This was truly a pleasant surprise.
He immediately knelt down and respectfully received the imperial decree.
He stood up and looked at his older brother beside him.
Both of them wore expressions of joy.
The two were extremely pleased that their master was giving them such an important position.
The two brothers each commanded an army of 100,000, serving as Left General and Right General respectively.
In the future, we will surely achieve great things together and gain merit, and our joy is beyond words.
Where is Liang Fan?
Jiang Ziya's gaze swept over the crowd before settling on a burly general.
This general was originally a general of Xiqi.
A general with a cautious and deliberate style of military campaigns will not be greedy for merit or act rashly, thus avoiding many mistakes.
Jiang Ziya also highly regarded this general.
His own martial arts skills are also extremely extraordinary. Although he is just an ordinary person, through cultivating Martial Dao, he seems to have already shown signs of entering the Dao.
His combat power is no weaker than that of an ordinary Heavenly Immortal, which is why Jiang Ziya valued him.
"Your humble servant is here!"
A burly general, with a sword at his waist and a long saber on his back, stepped out from the crowd.
To be able to appear in such a place wielding swords is, to some extent, a special honor.
"Liang Fan, I, Jiang Ziya, on behalf of the King, appoint you as General of the Rear, to follow behind the central army camp, ready to provide support at any time, and to command an army of 500,000. What do you think?"
The burly general immediately became excited.
Although it was a generalship, it was still an extremely important position.
Although the chances of gaining military merit are slightly fewer, it is a perfect position for someone who is naturally steady and reliable.
With him suppressing the rear army camp, he would never allow any mishaps to occur in the rear army.
"This humble general obeys the order and will swear to serve with his life to repay the kindness and favor shown to him by the King and Prime Minister."
Hearing this, Jiang Ziya nodded in satisfaction.
Now all the generals of the four routes and the generals of the three armies have been arranged.
Vanguard General Wei Hu commanded 50,000 troops.
General Yuan Futong commanded an army of 500,000.
Jin Zha, the left-wing general, commanded 100,000 troops.
Right-wing general Mu Zha commands 100,000 troops.
General Liang Fan of the rear army commanded an army of 500,000.
This army already numbers 1.25 million.
Jiang Ziya pondered for a moment, then finally turned his gaze to Nangong Shi.
"General Nangong, to be on the safe side, shall we deploy an army of two million for this campaign against the Yin Shang?"
"The central army commands 800,000 troops, bringing the total to 2.05 million. What is General Nangong's opinion?"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Shi naturally nodded in agreement.
Jiang Ziya was quite resourceful; his arrangements were flawless.
Although Xiqi has an army of six million, it is still somewhat dangerous to mobilize them all.
With an army of two million, capable of both offense and defense, this arrangement is indeed quite excellent.
Seeing Nangong Shi nod in approval of Jiang Ziya, he smiled slightly.
Then Jiang Ziya looked at the other two.
Where are Han Dulong and Xue Ehu?
The two, who were initially feeling down, became excited upon hearing these words.
I originally thought this arrangement had nothing to do with the two of them.
Unexpectedly, their martial uncle mentioned their son's name at this moment.
Is there an important task that needs to be assigned to these two?
The two quickly stepped forward and waited quietly for Jiang Ziya's instructions.
Their master, the Dao De Tianzun, once said this.
Although Uncle-Master Jiang Ziya's cultivation was shallow, he was the most crucial figure in the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, and everyone had to obey Uncle-Master Jiang Ziya's orders.
"Since you two are in charge of holding the Grain-Holding Rice Measure, you are hereby appointed as Grain Guard Generals."
"These are the logistics personnel. You two are given an army of 200,000, primarily for transporting provisions. As the saying goes, 'An army marches on its stomach.'"
"Your mission is extremely important. The rations for two million troops are entrusted to you two. If anything goes wrong, I'll hold you responsible. Do you two have the confidence to take on this mission?"
Upon hearing this, the two nodded excitedly.
Although it sounds like just a grain-protecting general, as my uncle said, the grain-protecting general is also an extremely important position.
The food rations for the two million-strong army were entirely in their hands.
In addition, the two of them also possessed Grain-Holding Rice Measure.
We must ensure the supply of food for the three armies at all costs.
