Chapter 189 (1/2)

When Lu Chuan returned to Chaoge, the defeated Xiqi army was still on the way back to Xiqi.

Although they withdrew from the East left by Lu Chuan, their base camp Xiqi is in the West. If they go all the way East, they will only reach the territory of Donglu.

Therefore, they can only go out for a while and then make a detour to Xiqi.

Ji Chang was the one who suffered the most from this defeat.

In recent years, Emperor Xin Jiao indulged in extravagance, ignored the government, built deer platforms, made cannons and dug bamboo pots, which made the people's complaints boiling and the people's complaints filled the road.

Many people of big merchants fled the Chaoge and came to Xiqi, southern Hubei, Donglu and other countries to settle down and become their people.

What measures the strength of the princes along the way is the military strength and the population in the city.

Nowadays, the largest and most populous city in the world is the Chaoge of Wangdu. In addition to the Chaoge, there are the four cities of Donglu, Xiqi, South Hubei and beichong.

This is also the reason why they became the four princes in the world.

In addition, the southeast and Yin merchants fought for many years. It is said that the two sides hurt each other, and recruit troops and horses. Xiqi's population and strength have been firmly at the top of the four vassal states.

His heart was restless.

In addition, his judgment of the current world situation is also that emperor Xin took his own death, which exhausted the last breath of yin and Shang Dynasty. Now the situation is over.

So he, who has endured for many years, coincided with Jiang Ziya's suggestion this time to attack beichong and kill Chonghou tiger, which can not only increase people's popularity, but also test the response of big businessmen.

He is 97 years old this year. Although he has lived a long life among the Terrans, he is a mortal after all. He is neither an alchemist nor a martial artist, and his longevity is coming to an end.

He was afraid that if he didn't do it again, he would have no chance in his life.

So he ordered 100000 troops, displayed the banners of ”killing treacherous officials and the emperor's side of the Qing Dynasty” and ”the great righteousness of the world”, and swaggered through the market all the way to attract the attention of the world.

This is his first step to the throne. As long as he can succeed, he will win the popularity of the people. The next step is to attack Yin Shang.

When they arrived in beichong, they first fought with chongyingbiao and killed several generals of beichong. After several victories, they colluded with chongheihu to make a plan to kill Chonghou tiger.

Everything was going well.

But he didn't understand, didn't know, didn't understand, how suddenly everything changed.

He didn't know from which direction Yin Shang threw three stones and smashed them on his protruding feet.

they hurt!

In a short night, the 100000 Xiqi army he brought lost more than 20000. Although it would not hurt the muscles and bones, it really hurt.

In addition, Lu Chuan played so well that he directly burned their food and grass. Therefore, the return journey of their 70000 people became more and more difficult and bumpy.

In addition, after the defeat, they also became a laughing stock. How flashy they were when they went, and how ridiculous they are now.

When Ji Chang passed by some cities, he asked some familiar princes to borrow grain, but no one was willing to borrow it.

In just half a month, Ji Chang lost a circle.

Finally he got sick.

In the big account.

Ji Chang lay on the couch, pale, chapped lips, no blood color, very weak.

”Prime minister, how is your Lord?”

Nangong Shi and others gathered around the bed and asked anxiously after Jiang Ziya diagnosed Ji Chang's pulse.

Jiang Ziya glanced at Ji Chang.

Ji Chang was also staring at him, but his eyes were deep in his eyes and some turbid.

”No big deal!”

Jiang Ziya suddenly showed his face and said with a smile, ”my Lord is just a long journey. I'm a little overworked. I'd like to ask some generals to go out and play some game and come back to replenish my Lord's body.”

”It's so lucky!”

Hearing the speech, everyone was relieved and rushed out to hunt.

As soon as they left, only Jiang Ziya, Nangong Shi and Ji Chang were left in the tent.

Ji Chang suddenly said, ”general Nangong, go out and see how far we are from Xiqi.”

”Yes!”

Nangong Shi was slightly stunned and turned back.

”Prime minister, is this Hou Shouyuan going to end?” Ji Chang said.

”Lord, where did you say that?”

Jiang Ziya looked stunned and said, ”I have calculated that the Lord has a long life and three years to live!”

”Prime minister, you don't have to hide it from me. Don't forget that I also know the innate changes and know the secret of heaven.”

Ji Chang shook his head and murmured, ”not long ago, Ben Hou calculated that I had only one year left.”
