Chapter 207 The Wind Rises
Upon hearing this, Ji Chang nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with deep thought:
"My dear ministers, what you said is very true. The issue of combat power cannot be ignored. Master Wen's military tactics are as good as a god, and his power is feared by all. This is indeed a great challenge facing Xiqi."
He sighed softly, his voice sounding a bit heavy yet steady and decisive.
Then, Ji Chang turned his gentle gaze to Jiang Ziya beside him, with a look that contained both trust and expectation.
"Prime Minister, you practiced Taoism in Kunlun Mountain in the past, and you have mastered the essence of Taoism and are extremely wise. Facing such a powerful enemy, do you have a good plan to solve this problem?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya smiled faintly. In that smile was both respect for Ji Chang and pride in his master.
"Don't worry, my Lord. Since ancient times, our Chan Sect has always taken it as our responsibility to follow the laws of nature and help the poor and needy. Although the immortal cultivators like Master Wen are strong, it is difficult for them to violate the laws of nature."
He paused for a moment, his eyes gleaming with determination, and continued:
"I will send a message to Kunlun and report the situation in detail to Master Yuqing Saint and all the senior brothers. I believe they will definitely think of the people of the world and help us."
"When the time comes, all the immortals of my Chan Sect will surely lend a helping hand to you, Lord Marquis, and together we will defeat the unrighteous Shang Dynasty and restore peace and prosperity to the world."
When Ji Chang heard this, a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes. He clenched his fists and spoke with a little excitement:
"The Prime Minister's words are like a spring breeze and rain, nourishing my heart."
"If we can get the help of the immortals of the Chan Sect, our Xiqi army will be even more powerful in attacking Shang. We will be unstoppable and unstoppable."
"By then, we will not only be able to overthrow the tyrannical Shang Dynasty, but also restore order and give the people of the world a bright and clear world!"
Upon hearing this, all the ministers nodded in agreement, their emotions very excited.
An elderly minister stepped forward and bowed, saying:
"My Lord, you are absolutely right. With the full support of the immortals of the Chan Sect, we, Xiqi, will surely be able to march south with unstoppable force and be invincible!"
"That's right,"
Another slightly younger minister stepped forward and continued:
"Even though King Di Xin of Shang has many generals under his command, I, Xiqi, am no pushover."
"Since we have decided to attack Shang, the people of Xiqi are united, the soldiers share the same destiny, and we have the support of the immortals of the Chan Sect. We have the best timing, location and people in this battle."
He paused for a moment, glanced at the ministers, and spoke in an even more passionate tone:
"Since we have decided to attack Shang, we must go all out and not slack off. We must plan carefully and deploy thoroughly to ensure victory in every battle."
"At the same time, we must open up more talent paths, recruit talents, and allow more capable and wise people to join our ranks and fight together for the future of Xiqi!"
As soon as these words were spoken, voices of agreement rang out in the study.
At this time, San Yisheng on the side gently adjusted his clothes and slowly walked towards the direction where Jiang Ziya was.
When he came before Jiang Ziya, he bowed deeply, his eyes gleaming with admiration and expectation:
"Prime Minister, I wonder what we should do next?"
"Since you have said this, I believe you have a thorough plan and conclusion in mind. I hope the Prime Minister will be generous enough to enlighten me and explain it in detail."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya smiled slightly. That smile showed both satisfaction with San Yisheng's respectful attitude and confidence in the grand layout that was about to unfold.
He stroked his beard gently and looked out the window with deep eyes, as if he had already seen the smoke of future battlefields and the dawn of victory.
"What Doctor San said makes sense,"
Jiang Ziya spoke slowly, his voice steady and powerful, "Since we have decided to attack Shang, we must proceed step by step and make steady progress."
"First, I will send a message back to Kunlun Mountain to report the situation to Master and my fellow brothers, and ask them to send someone to support us."
"Their strength will be an indispensable force in our business conquest."
Upon hearing this, San Yisheng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying:
"The Prime Minister is very far-sighted. This move will definitely greatly enhance the strength of our army. So, what should we do before the immortals from Kunlun Mountain arrive?"
Jiang Ziya smiled slightly, his eyes deep:
"Doctor San, that's a good question. During this period, we must strengthen Xiqi's defense and construction."
"Not only must we build city walls and reinforce fortresses, but we must also store food and fodder, train civilians, and ensure that the rear is secure and secure."
At this time, a burly general stood up and spoke in a loud voice:
"Prime Minister, please leave the military affairs to me! I will select the most elite soldiers and build an invincible army that is capable of both offense and defense."
"Let the Shang army be terrified and expand the territory for Xiqi!"
Jiang Ziya nodded in approval and said slowly:
"General Nangong is the best general in Xiqi. Your strength is obvious to all. The task of selecting the best soldiers and generals will be left to General Nangong."
He paused and continued:
"After that, we need to send spies to infiltrate the heartland of the Shang Dynasty to collect intelligence and provide strong support for our army."
"also,"
Jiang Ziya continued, his eyes sweeping over the ministers, "We must also actively contact the surrounding princes, especially those small princes who have been oppressed by the Shang Dynasty for a long time."
"We must persuade them to join us in forming an alliance to defeat merchants in the name of sincerity and justice."
"In this way, we can not only strengthen our own power, but also occupy the moral high ground."
At this point, Jiang Ziya's eyes became particularly bright:
"The most important thing is that we have to have a legitimate reason. Attacking Shang is no joke. We must find a reason that will convince the people of the world and scare the rulers and ministers of the Shang Dynasty."
"In this way, we can win the final victory in this just battle."
After hearing this, the passion that surged in the hearts of the ministers was like a raging fire that could not be contained.
As the first counselor to bear the brunt of the attack, San Yisheng stepped forward, cupped his hands and said loudly:
"The Prime Minister's plan is a far-sighted one. It is a blessing for Xiqi and the people of the world! I, San Yisheng, am willing to assist the Prime Minister with the rest of my life and work together for the great cause. I will never retreat!"
Before he finished speaking, a general in iron armor stepped forward and spoke in a voice like a bell:
"The Prime Minister's words are inspiring! I, Nangong Shi, am willing to lead my soldiers to charge into battle and be invincible, to expand the territory for Xiqi and kill all the treacherous officials of the Shang Dynasty!"
Then, an old man who looked like a civil servant also stood up, his voice was soft but firm:
"The Prime Minister's plan is in accordance with the will of Heaven and the will of the people. I, Guan Sheng, am also willing to do my best to write a manifesto for Xiqi and announce it to the world, so that the tyranny of the Shang Dynasty will be exposed!"
Afterwards, many ministers expressed their opinions, and some said they would do their best to raise food and fodder to ensure logistics.
Some were willing to personally go on diplomatic missions to surrounding princes to persuade them to join the alliance to attack Shang.
Others vowed to strengthen public security in the city and ensure that the people can live and work in peace and without worries.
Throughout the study, vows and determination were intertwined, as if an unstoppable force was gathering.
Ji Chang looked at this scene and felt filled with joy and emotion.
He knew that with the support of these loyal and brave ministers, Xiqi's road to attack Shang would be full of hope and victory.
"Dear ladies,"
Ji Chang's voice was gentle and solemn, and it slowly rang out in the hall, like a spring breeze and rain, nourishing everyone's heart:
"I am very happy and touched to see you all working together to achieve the great cause of Xiqi today."
He stood up, his posture straight and upright, like a towering mountain, standing tall and unshakable.
Ji Chang's eyes swept across the crowd, his eyes flashing with determination and resolve:
"I know very well that the road to conquering Shang is difficult and dangerous, and it is beyond the power of one person."
"But with you here, I believe that no matter how many difficulties and challenges lie ahead, we will be able to overcome them one by one and finally usher in the dawn of victory."
Having said that, Ji Chang took a deep breath, as if he wanted to imprint this belief and strength deeply in his heart.
He bowed to the ministers again, which was both a sign of respect for them and a testimony to their commitment:
"Thank you all for your strong support. Every bit of your efforts will be an indispensable part of Xiqi's glorious future."
"Let us join hands and fight for the future of Xiqi and the well-being of the people of the world!"
Upon seeing this, all the ministers returned the greetings, with the same light flashing in their eyes - that was admiration for Ji Chang.
The vision for the future of Xiqi and the firm belief in the upcoming war against Shang.
Afterwards, Ji Chang and Jiang Ziya led all the ministers to discuss the plan of conquering Shang in detail in the study.
