"Can I really join the Jiejiao?" Jiang Ziya was very excited. Although the Jiejiao was not as powerful as the Chenjiao, the means of Master Tongtian were also very powerful. Having the other party's care was much better than him being like a rootless duckweed now!
"Of course, we in Jiejiao are short of talents now. I will inherit the position of the leader of Jiejiao in the future, so naturally I have to consider how to carry forward my sect!" Long Junhai said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya suddenly understood and said, "No wonder you have the ambition to conquer the world. It turns out you are the one who will inherit the position of leader of the Jiejiao Sect! Master! Please accept my disciple's greetings!"
Jiang Ziya knew that his chance had come, so he immediately knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times solemnly.
Long Junhai smiled and said, "Get up. From today on, you are my first disciple."
Long Junhai was also very excited at this moment. He didn't expect that he could get such a good deal, and it was the famous Jiang Ziya!
"Master, from today on, Ziya will do his best to serve Jiejiao, strive to promote Jiejiao as soon as possible, and let you become the leader!" Jiang Ziya said seriously.
Long Junhai nodded and said, "My master, Tongtian Sect Master, is already preparing to transcend the Infinite Tribulation. My fellow disciples have no intention of vying for the position of Sect Master. After all, the Jie Sect is now dwindling in talent, and there's nothing much to fight for. It's already very difficult for them to avoid disbanding. Now, tell me what you know about the Great Shang Empire so I can make further plans."
"Reporting to the master, the current Shang Empire is actually as corrupt as it can be. Basically, people are in panic, and everyone lives in fear. No one knows what more brutal means King Zhou will use. A few days ago, he ordered the collection of beauties across the country to create a pool of wine and a forest of meat, and to have fun every night. The people are living in misery and countless families have been broken up. It is said that Su Daji, the daughter of Dong Bohou, has also been selected! It makes Dong Bohou want to rebel! Now we only need to recruit soldiers and horses. As soon as the time comes, we can unite with various princes to attack King Zhou of Shang!" Jiang Ziya said indignantly.
Long Junhai nodded when he heard this. This was basically the same as the historical story he knew. If he could seize the territory of Da Shang, he would have more resources for cultivation.
"There is no need to rush to recruit soldiers. What we lack now is talents, and recruiting talents is the top priority. Do you know what talents are available in Chaoge City now?" Long Junhai asked.
"There are many, but their relationships are complicated and difficult to win over. For example, Shen Gongbao is as cunning as a fox and eloquent as a flower. He is now the Grand Master. At his position, it is difficult to invite him. In addition, there are Huang Feihu, Deng Jiugong, and Bigan. They are all talented, but they all have great conflicts with each other. It would be easier to invite one of them out of seclusion, but it would be difficult to invite all of them! There is also the powerful Wen Taishi, who became a disciple of the Chan Sect eight hundred years ago. His strength has reached the peak of the Earthly Immortal and can break through to the Heavenly Immortal realm at any time! And..."
Before Jiang Ziya could finish, Long Junhai interrupted him and said, "Who were you talking about? Master Wen? Wen Zhong? Is he a disciple of the Chan Sect?"
"Master, you have also heard of this person! It is Wen Zhong. He was born with three eyes and is a man chosen by heaven. He has protected the foundation of the Shang Dynasty for three thousand years. In the eyes of the people of the Shang Dynasty, Wen Zhong is an absolute god of war! He became the third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect three thousand years ago, and he ranks among the three generations of disciples of the Chan Sect!" Jiang Ziya said again.
"Hmm? Wen Zhong became a disciple of the Chan Sect?"
Long Junhai frowned. This was inconsistent with his understanding. Logically, Wen Zhong should be the third generation disciple of Jiejiao. However, Jiejiao currently only had eight disciples, and Wen Zhong was not one of them. So who were the disciples before Jiejiao? Wasn't it the Conferred God War that led to their demise?
Long Junhai thought about it carefully again and felt that there was still a big gap between this place and the legendary world of Conferred Gods that he knew. Since Wen Zhong could become a disciple of the Chan Sect, there might be other variables for other people. So he thought it was a bit simple before, and he estimated that the road ahead would not be so easy.
After thinking for a moment, Long Junhai said, "It seems that this matter needs to be reconsidered. By the way, what is the current combat strength of Da Shang?"
"Disciple has done detailed statistics in this regard. First of all, King Zhou himself is a master in the late stage of Earth Immortal. He has a million soldiers under his command, the worst of whom are at the level of Mortal Immortal. The highest-level Royal Guards are all masters at the early stage of Earth Immortal or above, but their number is relatively small, around 30,000. There are also 10 million slaves, but the strength of these slaves is below that of Mortal Immortal. All these forces are controlled by King Zhou alone. In addition, Wen Taishi is in charge of 800,000 elite soldiers, with an average combat effectiveness of late stage Mortal Immortal. They are currently sweeping away the barbarian tribes in the North Sea. Deng Jiugong is in charge of 200,000 heavy armored soldiers, with an average strength of peak Mortal Immortal. Huang Feihu has 500,000 marching soldiers. Although their strength is not too high, only at the level of early stage Mortal Immortal, they are all equipped with Nether Ghost Horses! These are King Zhou's direct forces. There are 18 princes around them. The powerful ones control a million soldiers, and the weaker ones have about 300,000 troops. However, their forces are very mixed, and most of them are composed of miscellaneous soldiers below the level of Mortal Immortal."
Jiang Ziya had done statistics a long time ago and had been thinking about how to deal with the situation. Although he was still just a mortal, he had a heart that wanted to conquer all the gods and Buddhas!
Long Junhai took a deep breath. He didn't expect that although King Zhou seemed foolish, his actual fighting ability was so strong!
"By the way, where is the Su Daji you mentioned now?" Long Junhai thought of Su Daji. She was the main person to deal with King Zhou, so he had to get in touch with this Su Daji.
"Su Daji is now on her way to Chaoge and is expected to arrive in about half a month. Although this woman is a breakthrough point for triggering the riot, it is still difficult to predict what the final effect will be. After all, Su Daji is a woman, and women are the most unpredictable people." Jiang Ziya said with a wry smile.
"Haha, you are right. Women are indeed more difficult to deal with. Men conquer the world, and women conquer men. We must calculate every step carefully, otherwise there may be big mistakes, and it will be difficult to make up for it later." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"Master, you are absolutely right. I know someone in the city. He is the general who escorted Su Daji into the city. He is a very upright man named Li Jing and very powerful. If you want to meet Su Daji, I can introduce him to you." Jiang Ziya said with a smile.
