Chapter 191 Monkey head! Looking for a fight!
Qishan.

Jiang Ziya led the army to defend Mount Qi, while Wen Zhong personally led the army to conquer Xiqi and set up camp at the foot of Mount Qi.

Ever since Xin Huan and Lei Zhenzi snatched the royal flags of Ji Fa and King Wucheng Li Jing, the morale of the Xiqi army has plummeted.

With morale at a low point, Jiang Ziya frowned and could only order the troops to defend the city to the death. At the same time, he ordered the four generals Yang Jian, Nezha, Jin Zha and Mu Zha to camp quickly every day to boost morale.

Yang Jian, Nezha and the other three did not slack off. They all tried their best to boost morale.

More than half a month passed, and the morale of the Xiqi army was gradually recovering. After all, Yang Jian, Nezha and the other four were sparring in the camp from time to time.

The supernatural powers displayed greatly boosted morale.

Who would have thought that another month had passed.

"Uncle Jiang, the soldiers are in a panic. Their morale is simply unstable."

Nezha looked very frustrated, as if his skills had become useless in the military camp and the result was not satisfactory.

In comparison, Yang Jian was calmer, frowning and saying:

"Uncle Jiang, this Shang Dynasty Grand Master Wen Zhong is using a strategy of attacking the heart."

Among the three generations of disciples of the Chan sect, Yang Jian was the most comprehensive, especially in terms of worldly military and literary strategies, so he often discussed military affairs with Jiang Ziya.

After hearing this, Jiang Ziya also frowned. Since there was no outsider in the tent, he also sighed rarely.

"This Yin Shang Grand Master Wen Zhong is very experienced. No wonder he has been able to dominate for so many years. He first used his power to suppress others, and then used his power to win their hearts. He is really amazing."

The first time Jiang Ziya fought against the Shang Dynasty's Grand Master Wen Zhong on the battlefield, he finally got a taste of Wen Zhong's methods.

As time went by, the morale of the Xiqi army became increasingly irritable.

Without him!

Because no one would think that Wen Zhong, the Grand Master of the Shang Dynasty, was afraid. It was this kind of eerily silent atmosphere that made the Xiqi army panic.

"Uncle Jiang, what does the Yin Shang Grand Master think?"

"That's right. It's been a month and a half. It's time to rest up."

Jin Zha and Mu Zha said with a frustrated look on their faces, while Nezha beside them also shouted:
"Uncle Jiang, the Yin Shang camp is training as usual every day. If you don't know, you would think this is Chaoge."

Looking at Jin Zha, Mu Zha and Nezha nagging, Jiang Ziya sighed helplessly.

"Nezha, you don't know, this is exactly what Wen Zhong does."

After Jiang Ziya reluctantly told Nezha, Jinzha and Muzha about Wen Zhong's strategy of using force to capture their hearts, Nezha became even more furious.

"What a Wen Zhong! Uncle Jiang, after all your talk, I finally understand. Isn't this Wen Zhong just relying on his reputation among the human race for so many years?

As long as Uncle Jiang leads the troops, we can have a good fight and make this old man Wen Zhong lose one or two rounds. Then Wen Zhong's so-called momentum will naturally be broken, and Uncle Jiang's so-called attack on the heart will naturally be solved."

Nezha's arrogant tone made Jiang Ziya's eyes twitch.

Good for you!

You think this is a battle between monks? They can have a fight easily.

Besides, even if it was a battle between cultivators, the current strength of the Shang army is not weak.

Yang Jian looked at the three Nezha actors acting. Although he wanted to laugh, he still frowned in tacit understanding, then clasped his fists and said in a serious tone:

"Uncle Jiang, what Nezha said is not without reason."

If someone else said this, Jiang Ziya would naturally ignore it, but if Yang Jian said this, Jiang Ziya really looked solemn.

After all, they had been together for such a long time, and he often felt that Yang Jian was not inferior to him in terms of literary and military skills.

"Yang Jian, tell me what you think."

Facing Jiang Ziya's question, Yang Jian couldn't help but smile confidently.

"Uncle Jiang, in terms of soldiers and horses, my Xiqi army has a large number of people, and is not much inferior to the Yin Shang army. However, the most difficult person in the Yin Shang army right now is this Grand Master Wen Zhong.

Therefore, the problem we are facing is this Grand Master Wen Zhong and the generals under his command."

At this point, Yang Jian paused, then looked at Jiang Ziya and said with a smile:
"I have seen the power of the magic whip in Uncle Jiang's hand before. In Yang Jian's opinion, this magic weapon is not inferior to Wen Zhong's double whips. Uncle Jiang is the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is indeed beneath his status to fight with a general. But what if he fights in front of the battle?

I will use Uncle Jiang's magic whip to fight the double whips of the Shang Taishi. I don't need to win by a large margin, I just need to fight to an evenly matched strength, with the two armies witnessed by thousands of soldiers in front of the battle line. Then the Shang Taishi can resolve the situation with his strategy of momentum and strength."

After Yang Jian slowly expressed his thoughts, Jiang Ziya's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Yes, in a life-and-death fight, Wen Zhong would definitely beat him to a pulp, but if it was a fight between magic weapons in his palms, his divine whip was no weaker than a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

No matter how powerful the double whips in Wen Zhong's hand were, how could they be more powerful than the divine whip in his hand?

His cultivation is not as good as Wen Zhong's, but his magic weapon is stronger than Wen Zhong's.

With one increase and one decrease, he is not sure of winning, but he is still confident of fighting on equal terms.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ziya suddenly burst into laughter.

"Haha, Yang Jian's plan is brilliant. As long as we show the soldiers of both armies that my divine whip is as powerful as that of the Shang Dynasty's Grand Master Wen Zhong, then our army's morale can be restored."

Now the morale of the Xiqi army is in panic, isn't it because of Wen Zhong? A man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree.

Once the Xiqi army discovered that their Prime Minister Jiang Ziya was no worse than the Shang Dynasty's Grand Master, the huge burden on their hearts would naturally be resolved.

After seeing that Jiang Ziya agreed with his plan, Yang Jian glanced at Nezha inconspicuously, and then continued:
"Uncle Jiang, although there are many capable people under the command of Yin Shang Grand Master Wen Zhong, there are definitely not many who can match me and Nezha."

Before Yang Jian finished speaking, Nezha on the side shouted in dissatisfaction:

"That's right. Those two birds of a feather had no power a few days ago. If we really had to fight one-on-one, Brother Yang Jian and I could fight two of them at once."

Nezha's shouting immediately made Jiang Ziya smile, and he nodded and said:
"Yes, although Wen Zhong has many elite soldiers and generals under his command, no one can defeat Yang Jian and Nezha in a battlefield fight."

At this moment, Jiang Ziya seemed to have come up with a new idea and his face was full of smiles.

Yes, Wen Zhong is so strong, isn’t it just that he uses his power to suppress others?

As long as he could fight Wen Zhong on equal terms in front of the Xiqi army, his generals Yang Jian and Nezha could also win one or two battles.

This situation can be broken.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ziya burst into laughter.

"Okay, I will write a declaration of war right now and send out troops in three days. I will meet this Shang Taishi."

At this moment, Jiang Ziya was full of ambition. As long as he could make progress, in the eyes of Xiqi and even the people of the world, he, Jiang Ziya, would be able to rival Wen Zhong.

In future battles, this passive situation of being suppressed by the enemy will naturally not easily occur again.

……

Three days later. On the land of Qishan.

It was a dark mass, with thousands of painted halberds, tens of thousands of steel swords, and dense axes. The Yin and Shang army, led by Grand Tutor Wen Zhong, slowly arrived at the front of the battle.

Jiang Ziya was secretly frightened by this scene.

"This Wen Zhong is worthy of being the pillar of the Shang Dynasty. Looking at the well-organized army today, people say that he has not yet fully learned everything."

Jiang Ziya led an army of 100,000, and Wen Zhong led an army of 100,000. The two sides gathered directly on the vast land of Qi and faced each other.

This was the first time that Wen Zhong, the Grand Master of the Shang Dynasty, met Xiqi on the battlefield.

The Shang Dynasty's Grand Master had a face as pale as gold, a long beard that fluttered behind his head, a golden whip in his hand, and sat on a unicorn with an awe-inspiring manner.

On the silent battlefield, Jiang Ziya finally glanced at his own camp inconspicuously, and saw that everyone was obviously lacking in confidence when facing Wen Zhong, the Grand Master of the Shang Dynasty.

The soldiers of Xiqi were in a panic. After seeing this scene, Jiang Ziya sighed secretly, fortunately this was not a duel between two armies, otherwise there would be no chance of winning.

Jiang Ziya had no choice but to pretend to be calm and composed. He rode his Sibu Xiang to the front of the battle formation and shouted to Wen Zhong in the distance:

"I have heard of the great reputation of the Grand Master for a long time. Today I see that he is indeed an extraordinary person."

When he said this, Jiang Ziya paused for a moment, looked at the other party with a smile on his face, and bowed, saying:
"The Grand Master is also a cultivator. You should know that the destiny of the world is with the Zhou Dynasty, not the Shang Dynasty. The Shang Dynasty will perish and the Zhou Dynasty will rise. The Grand Master has been a veteran of three dynasties and has accomplished all his merits. Why not retire to the mountains and become a carefree immortal? Otherwise, all his years of hard work will go to waste if he makes a mistake."

Under the hearty smile, his tone was more confident and calm. Jiang Ziya's words spread to all the soldiers of the three armies. For a moment, the generals of the Great Zhou looked at their prime minister.

Jiang Ziya's words were clearly meant to admonish the Shang Dynasty's Grand Master. It must be said that a general is the courage of his soldiers. Jiang Ziya's calm demeanor did indeed make the Xiqi army's morale a little more stable.

Wen Zhong, who was ridiculed by Jiang Ziya, was not angry. Instead, he looked at Jiang Ziya calmly and said calmly:

"Are you Jiang Ziya, a disciple of Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain?"

"Yes, it's Pindao."

Jiang Ziya also admitted it calmly, but Wen Zhong, who was riding on the black unicorn opposite him, smiled, but there was a hint of sarcasm and contempt in his smile.

"Jiang Ziya, you were once a minister of the Shang Dynasty. I don't know how you deceived the saints. You are such a disloyal, unrighteous and unfilial person. You have lived in vain for more than seventy years.

It is even more in vain that you have spent forty years studying Taoism in Kunlun Mountain. You have all these skills, but you don’t know how to repay the king’s kindness, and you don’t know the words of loyalty and filial piety. How can you be compared with me?”

A cold snort spread throughout the three armies, and in an instant the generals of the Shang Dynasty burst into laughter.

"Haha, Grand Master, calm down. I heard that Jiang Ziya was originally a minister of the king, but he couldn't resist Ji Faye sending his wife away. I guess this Taoist Jiang has been obsessed with time and has been bewitched by ghosts."

Someone started to make a fuss, and the Shang army burst into laughter in an instant.

Especially Xin Huan, who had a ferocious look on his face, grinned and said:

"This Xiqi traitor Ji Fa is also a character. I believe that all the civil and military officials under the Xiqi Mountain have been given concubines by this man who killed his brother and forced his father. Otherwise, how could the whole Xiqi let this villain ascend to the throne?"

"Haha, Xin Huan, what you said makes sense. Maybe King Wu's delicate concubine is still lying in Jiang Ziya's tent in the Qishan camp."

"Haha, Jiang Ziya, I heard that Bo Yikao invited you out of seclusion after three visits to Songjiazhuang, and even appointed you as prime minister. Later, you committed adultery with Jifa's wife, and Jifa appointed you as prime minister again. That's why you and Bo Yikao became enemies, tsk tsk..."

In the Yin Shang camp, the generals mocked loudly one after another. For a moment, the Yin Shang army burst into laughter. On the other hand, the Xiqi army was in turmoil and their morale was obviously low.

Jiang Ziya's face turned pale and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.

He didn't care about anything else, but the matter of Bo Yikao was a thorn in his heart.

"Stop trying to show off your rhetoric!"

In the Xiqi army, Nezha had already lost his patience. He let out an angry roar, rode on his wind-fire wheels to the front of the formation, raised his flaming spear, and looked at the Shang army arrogantly.

"Nezha of Xiqi is here, who dares to fight against him?"

Nezha was arrogant in front of the three armies. After seeing this scene, the generals of the Shang army widened their eyes and were filled with anger.

Many of the generals knew Nezha, after all, they had seen him during the conquest of the North Sea.

Among them, Huang Feihu raised his gun and shouted angrily:
"Nezha, you followed your father Li Jing and the king to conquer the North Sea. Everyone in the world knows that your Li family is loyal and righteous. But now look at you!"

"You three brothers actually forced your father to surrender to Zhou. Everyone in the world curses you. It's not too late to regret it now!"

Facing Huang Feihu's scolding, Nezha glared with anger on his face.

"Shut up! Who do you think you are, Huang Feihu? How dare you interfere in my affairs? It is true that I conquered the North Sea by the king's order, but I am a disciple of the Chan Sect, how can I help you?"

Nezha's unreasonable and unreasonable behavior made many people in Xiqi feel disgusted.

Jiang Ziya also had a headache when he saw this scene. Nezha's bravery was due to his character and ability to cause trouble. He was too strong and did not have any of the steadiness of Yang Jian.

"What a doll that hasn't been pulled off the nipple yet, she's quite arrogant."

At this moment, in the Yin and Shang army, Yuan Hong, holding a water and fire stick, pointed at Nezha and laughed unruly.

These words, which had not yet been pulled off the nipple, directly angered Nezha.

"Where did you come from, you stinky monkey? If you have the guts to come out, let me poke a few holes in you with my flaming spear and see if you can still be so stubborn."

Both Yuan Hong and Nezha seemed to be really angry during their acting.

"Grandmaster, Yuan Hong wants to fight!"

In front of the battle, Grand Tutor Wen Zhong, who was riding on a black unicorn, couldn't help but smile when he saw Yuan Hong asking for a fight.

Yuan Hong is the best general in his army. In terms of combat power, no one has ever been able to defeat him.

"General Yuan Hong, listen up. This Nezha is the son of Li Jing of Chentangguan. He once worshipped Taiyi Zhenren of Jinguang Cave in Qianyuan Mountain. He has three heads and eight arms. General, be careful when you go into battle."

Although Wen Zhong was full of confidence, he was still more cautious in his words and warned Yuan Hong to avoid being careless and suffering losses.

After hearing this, Yuan Hong laughed and said:

"Don't worry, Grand Master. Today, I, Yuan Hong, will teach this baby boy how to behave."

After saying that, Yuan Hong gave a loud shout, and wearing a golden armor and holding a water and fire stick, he rushed out of the camp and attacked Nezha.

"You little kid, today Grandpa Yuan Hong will teach you a lesson. Remember, if you get beaten and cry, don't go back to Jiang Ziya to complain. But you can go to Ji Fa. I'm sure there will be a great concubine in Ji Fa's harem to give you something to drink. So don't cry."

Yuan Hong's cunning words caused the soldiers of both armies to burst into laughter instantly, and even many soldiers in Xiqi had red faces from holding back their laughter.

Nezha really looks like a milky white child. It is normal for him to ask Nai to stop crying when he is crying.

There were even many Xiqi soldiers who were secretly muttering and feeling a little envious. They thought it would be worth it if they could really have a bite of the meat of their king's concubines.

"Monkey head!"

Nezha in front of the formation was so angry that his face turned red and his eyes widened.

You are so good, Yuan Hong with thick eyebrows and big eyes. You said you would act, why haven’t you finished yet?
