I start by marrying Yunxiao, who's in a vegetative state; I'm invincible in the primor

The Conferred God Platform has been completed.

The Investiture of the Gods has been restored to its rightful place.

Xiqi also marked the beginning of the campaign against King Zhou of Shang.

Jiang Ziya served as the prime minister and strategist of Xiqi.

Frontline command post.

Ji Chang, Ji Fa, Ji Dan, and others sat high on the throne.

The generals, both large and small, were displayed on both sides.

Jiang Ziya was dressed in white, with a full head of white hair, giving him a sense of composure and maturity.

Jiang Ziya launched into a long and eloquent strategic deployment, declaring, "Heaven's mandate rests on our Western Qi! The mere King Zhou of Shang is nothing to worry about."

"With just a slight move, I can discern the limits of King Zhou of Shang."

"This is the route of the three armies that marched to overthrow King Zhou."

"The 200,000-strong western army boldly penetrated the enemy lines, while the eastern army advanced in a roundabout manner."

"General Nangong Shi will lead an army of 500,000 men on a direct assault on Sishui Pass!"

"With the arrival of three armies, Sishui Pass will be reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye."

Jiang Ziya's endless strategic plans give people a sense of mystery, as if he were a master strategist who could win battles from afar.

Ji Chang nodded, "What the Prime Minister said is excellent."

"So they marched according to this plan, advancing from three directions with a total of one million troops, and broke through Sishui Pass!"

Sishui Pass was a strategic pass between the Shang Dynasty and Xiqi.

It has long been known as a formidable pass.

It's the first line of defense!

Once Xishui Pass is captured, it means that Xiqi has activated a 'supply center' on the front line.

If Xiqi can break through Sishui, it will occupy a strategic position, and can then attack Jiepai Pass to the north, Qinglong Pass to the south, and Chuanyun Pass and Tong Pass to the east!

Jiang Ziya, confident and composed, smiled calmly, "Once the war begins, speed is of the essence! The first battle must be the decisive one! A single battle will decide the fate of the world!"

Xiqi launched a massive mobilization, advancing in three directions!

at the same time.

The Shang dynasty's scouts noticed the Xiqi's offensive and immediately relayed the news back to the command camp!

Once the war has begun, it would be unreasonable to establish the joint command headquarters in Chaoge.

At this moment, the joint command post has moved forward to Chuanyun Pass, which is behind Sishui Pass!

Inside the commander's camp!

Styx and Kong Xuan sat in the main seats.

Zhang Kui, Zhang Guifang, Deng Jiugong, the four generals of the Mo family, Yuan Hong, Yu Hua, and other first and second term generals sat quietly on both sides.

In the center, there is a huge sand table, which shows the topography of the Xiqi and Dashang Sishui Pass area.

Zhang Kui chuckled. "Who made this sand table?"

Deng Jiugong: "Me."

"It's too rough, too rough. I suggest Brother Deng go back to school and learn from the juniors in the fourth cohort."

Deng Jiugong: "?? Ha! My daughter can't possibly meet with your eldest son, even if she meets with Li Jing's Iron Pillar."

Zhang Kui: "I was wrong, I was wrong, okay?"

No other reason than that it's hard to find a wife!

In particular, Deng Jiugong's daughter, Deng Chanyu, was beautiful and spirited.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The camp was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.

Just then, a voice rang out from outside, "The principal has arrived!"

Wow!

The generals rose and watched as Li Yu entered.

Li Yu entered the command camp and sat in the main seat in the center.

"sit down."

*Snap!*

soon!

They all sat down at the same time, their expressions becoming serious.

"The rebel army of Xiqi has started a rebellion and intends to launch a three-pronged attack on Shang. We have begun to discuss the matter."

The huge sand table began to change, rehearsing the marching routes of the Xiqi three-pronged attack on the Shang.

The generals glanced at it briefly and wondered, "Is Xiqi planning to make this the decisive battle in the very first engagement?"

The generals then looked at Jiang Ziya with disdain. Jiang Ziya's military plan was full of flaws and was simply child's play.

Whom do you look down on?

In a short while, at least ten methods of annihilation came to mind among the generals.

When it came time for the meeting, all the generals put aside their contempt and became extremely focused, ready for battle.

This is called being strategically dismissive but tactically attentive.

Anyone who suffers a defeat at the hands of Jiang Ziya will surely be nailed to the pillar of shame in the academy!

Everyone here is from Phase One or Phase Two; none of us can afford to lose face like this!

Zhang Kui, Zhang Guifang, Deng Jiugong, Yuan Hong, Yu Hua, and others spoke freely.

Minghe and Kongxuan were responsible for evaluating the battle plan.

After the evaluation was completed, it was submitted to the First Emperor for a decision.

then!

A counter-offensive plan targeting the three-pronged attack has been developed.

Kong Xuan was responsible for the explanation.

"Its northern route has 200,000 troops, its eastern route has 300,000 troops, and its central route has 500,000 troops."

"The enemy attacking from the north is the fewest in number and the weakest."

"The Joint Chiefs of Staff plans to use overwhelming force to first wipe out their northern army!"

"Then tie down 500,000 troops in the middle lane."

"Then, with overwhelming force, we will wipe out their 300,000 troops on the eastern route."

"Finally, we will attack the central army from both sides."

The countermeasure plan seems simple: exploit their weaker forces.

However, there are many nuances to consider: How many superior troops should be deployed? What is their assault capability? How is logistical support?

Which unit is responsible for blocking reinforcements?

In short, there are many intricacies involved! The battle plan must be reasonable!

We must never make decisions on a whim!

Was Jiang Ziya a brilliant strategist? Not really.

Any random fourth-term junior in the academy could easily beat them.

What's more! Jiang Ziya was facing the entire Joint Chiefs of Staff!

Disciples taught by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Ancestor of Literature, and the Ancestor of War!

In addition, there are Li Yu's disciples, the "Master of Decisive Battle Plans"!

Was Jiang Ziya's first battle the decisive one? Would a single battle decide the fate of the world?

We're ready to oblige!

The Great Shang Dynasty trained its troops in the North Sea, and it had 1.5 million battle-hardened veterans!

For the first battle, we used only battle-hardened veterans!

One and a half million vs. one million?

No problem, the advantage is with me!

If we say that the Shang Dynasty was a giant war machine!

Then the Joint Chiefs of Staff is the lubricant!

……

a few days later.

With Zhang Kui as the commander-in-chief and Yuan Hong as the deputy commander, they led an army of 500,000 men westward along the Wei River, preparing to wipe out the rebel army in the northern route of Xiqi.

Deng Jiugong led an army of 250,000 to block the reinforcements from the central route of Xiqi.

With Zhang Guifang as the commander-in-chief and Yu Hua as the deputy commander-in-chief, they led an army of 500,000 to advance westward simultaneously, preparing to annihilate the 300,000-strong army of Xiqi East Road!

The four generals of the Mo family led an army of 250,000 to block Zhang Guifang and Yu Hua.

Minghe and Kong Xuan personally took charge of Sishui Pass, with 500,000 new soldiers defending the strategic location.

boom!

The calamity energy between heaven and earth surged violently! It soared! And soared even higher!

Commander's Camp, Central Route, Xiqi.

Jiang Ziya rode a white horse, his face solemn, his heart filled with boundless pride.

The Northern and Eastern armies reported their military situation daily.

"Our operations are unimpeded!"

Jiang Ziya: "Keep moving forward!"

The next day, a report on the military situation was submitted.

"Our operations are unimpeded! Unimpeded!"

"Speed ​​up!"

For another two and a half days, traffic remained unimpeded.

Until this day!

Northern Route Army.

The commander-in-chief, Ji Gongdan, was Ji Fa's uncle and was in full charge of the northern route.

As was customary, the soldiers of Xiqi scouted the area along the route and reported back to the commander's camp.

In the distance, in the shadows.

"General, should we attack or not? The rebels have already entered the ambush zone."

Zhang Kui said in a deep voice, "Don't attack yet! The rebels should be reporting their situation to the central route today. Let's not alert them!"

"Let him send out the messenger first."

"Once the war begins, not a single messenger can escape!"

"yes!"

Ji Dan reported the military situation to Jiang Ziya, who was in the central route, as was customary: "Our troops are still moving unimpeded!"

After the messenger left.

A junior officer came to report, "General, ahead lies a low-lying valley, flanked by high mountains. The terrain is rugged, and our army cannot deploy its formations..."

Ji Dan glanced at Jiang Ziya's reply from yesterday and felt a surge of irritation as he 'speeded up the march'.

Nothing more! Xiqi belongs to the Ji family. When did it become the place for an outsider to interfere?

Ji Dan was very impatient. "Speed ​​up the process!"

"yes!"

In the middle is a mountain valley, with high cliffs on both sides. The interior is narrow, like a straight chasm!

Seeing the main force of Xiqi enter the ambush, Zhang Kui laughed until he was speechless. "Is this all they've got? Xiqi deserves to perish!"

"Loose the arrows! Give them a good thrashing!"
