When it comes to fighting, the Zhen family is not good at it, but when it comes to making money, the Zhen family's combat effectiveness is still worthy of trust, especially in this kind of cross-border trade, how to find some of your own people is very skillful.
For example, the Zhen family can really strike up a conversation with the Roman Senate senators we are talking about.
Zhen Yao heard his brother's words, thought for a moment, and then shook his head, "We still have to find a way to take back Media first. Only by taking back Media can we have room to use the materials we have. Otherwise,
Even if you just pass the message, it’s meaningless.”
Zhen Yan looked melancholy when he heard this, and didn't want to speak anymore. Indeed, only by taking back Media would there be any other meaning. If he couldn't take back Media, no matter how much he did, he would just be struggling to his death.
"Inform the Wei family, Er Cui, Zhao family, and Guo Liuyin who are next to Media, and ask them to help take down Media." Zhen Yan looked a little depressed, but it was obviously different from the self-destruction before.
Who wants to die if they can live? What's more, living can be fun and enjoyable, but if you die, there will be nothing.
"This is all we can do for now. I hope everything goes well." Zhen Yao also lamented. Now our family can't do much, we can only place our hopes on others. This feeling that life and death cannot be controlled by oneself makes Zhen Yao somewhat agitated.
I remember those days.
In Xinzhou, Guo Zhao, who had already found a place to station himself, received the news of the fall of Media one day later than other surrounding families in Media. This news had a great impact on Guo Zhao, so much so that Guo Zhao was a little confused.
There is no way, the situation is too outrageous, I don’t know how to describe it.
"Media has fallen, what is going on?" Guo Zhao immediately came to see his golden entry Parlu with the secret report. There was no way, she really couldn't tell what happened, she could only rely on
Haftar is honest. In terms of military matters, Guo Zhao has now realized the gap between himself and his opponent.
Haftan received the secret report. There was no description in it. It was just a simple and crude report about the fall of Media. However, considering that the intelligence personnel stationed in Media were carefully selected by Guo Zhaojing, he could only convey this little information.
, which means that the situation has reached a certain level of crisis. It is the kind of situation where the enemy has already entered Media without knowing the situation of the enemy.
"Besides cooperating inside and outside, and rushing in directly, I can't think of any other possibility." Haftan said simply, "After all, we have been to Media, and it is not an easy place to capture."
"Then what should we do now? Lead the backbone to return to Media, or stay here. First, let me say one thing, because we are close to Media, so in terms of division of powers, we have some responsibilities to protect Media." Guo Zhaoting
After Haftan finished speaking, his brows knitted together, and then he asked with some thought, now that the three Guo and Liuyin families have entered Xinzhou, they are far away from Media. To get there, even the cavalry would have to take more than half of the troops.
months, so you have to think about what to do next.
"Just send the cavalry over." Haftan thought for a while and said, "You write the paperwork and certificates, and I will take some of the cavalry over. This will not be a large scale, and even if you encounter a hard problem, you will just run away at worst. Let's finish it first.
Let’s talk about responsibilities.”
Guo Zhao nodded when he heard this. If they were still staying in the Central Asian fiefdom, they would at least have a legion to test the waters. But now that they are in Xinzhou, it will take a long time just to get there, but where their responsibilities lie,
Just do your best.
To the southeast of Media, the nearest Han family, the Zhao family, also received a secret report from the insider. They had no choice but to sell prohibited materials in Media. They just prepared more intelligence personnel and ensured light-speed cutting when necessary.
, what should I do if there is a thunderstorm?
As a result, after selling banned materials for so many years, the Zhao family did not suffer any thunderstorms. Instead, Media Trading City exploded itself, and it exploded in an extremely shocking way.
"Three hundred thousand refugees were beaten down?" After reading the report, Zhao Jian immediately called his brothers over and informed Zhao Yan of the overall information. Zhao Yan was stunned after hearing the entire information.
When Zhao received the first wave of information, she had already prepared that the enemy was invincible, that the family needed to launch an exile plan, and that everyone in their generation would die in the battle. But now they were told that the other side was a refugee, damn, it was just a mere
The Parthian refugees were able to capture Media.
Zhao Yan didn't say these words, but his eyes clearly showed this meaning. Media Trading City is the strongest city in this area. None of the Wubao from the Central Asian families can compete with this thing. As a result,
Was this kind of fortified city captured by refugees?
Isn’t this funny? They had previously recruited the Han people under their command and the naturalized Parthian people into Wubao. After the second round of locust plagues, those Parthian people who had lived in Zhao’s territory but had not been naturalized were forced to go to Wubao due to lack of food.
As refugees, they also came to attack Zhao's Wubao in large numbers. At that time, the total number of refugees was tens of thousands.
As a result, the Zhao family was easily defeated, leaving behind hundreds or even thousands of corpses, and fled directly. This was just the Zhao family, and the strength of the Zhao family was not even the top among the Han families.
This alone can easily beat the refugees who don't have any siege equipment into running away, let alone the Zhen family who owns the fortified city of Media. As a result, the Zhen family capsized.
"Our intelligence personnel are absolutely trustworthy. Although the information passed back is outrageous, they will not mess around in this regard." Zhao Jian looked at Zhao Yan and said seriously. This intelligence personnel is his own dead soldier.
In order to complete the cutting at the speed of light one day when he was caught selling prohibited weapons, the person who arranged it was very reliable.
"Is Mrs. Zhen a pig?" Zhao Yan reflexively asked.
I can't understand how Media could be defeated by the refugees without siege weapons. This is Sanzhongguo. If the outer city can't withstand it, you can use the inner city to resist it, but it fell like this.
"It doesn't matter whether Zhen is a pig. Anyway, Media has fallen, and the opponents are refugees. What I mean is to organize people now and go to Media to pick up the benefits." Zhao Jian said with a sneer. Zhen made such a big move this time.
The misfortune and death are imminent, but this is none of his business. Zhao, if he doesn't seize this opportunity to go to Media to reap the benefits, what are he waiting for?
"Are we attacking Media?" Zhao Yan was stunned and looked at Zhao Jian in disbelief.
"If you can't defeat Rome, how can you defeat the refugees?" Zhao Jian said with a sneer, "Don't worry about the refugees entrenched in Media. Even if we defend to the death, we can still defeat them. Media has a large amount of supplies stored in them.
They are all what we need now, and there is a hidden vault in Media. To be honest, the refugees may not be able to discover it until now."
"What if these refugees are disguised?" Zhao Yan frowned and looked at his obviously radical head of the family, feeling that the other party was somewhat superior.
"There are some peaceful bandits inside, but we have been paying attention to Laguerre's whereabouts and Mosul's whereabouts, so there can't be that kind of top bandit leader inside." Zhao Jian waved his hand and said, "Not to mention the family.
There is not much food left, and it will be difficult to survive the third round of locust plague. Now it’s time to take a gamble, how can we capture some of the food by conquering Media.”
"What if something happens?" Zhao Yan frowned, assessing the danger of this matter.
"I brought with me half of the elites of my family and some of the young men who have been naturalized in Anxi." Zhao Jian said with a calm expression. When it is time to gamble, you have to gamble. This is how the so-called wealth and wealth can be obtained through risk. As for whether you lose the bet, let's talk about it after you lose the bet.
Well, what's more, he lost the bet. As the head of the family, he returned with heavy losses of his army and Anxi young men, which also reduced the population to a certain extent and reduced the possibility of civil strife.
Zhao Yan is not a fool. He quickly understood Zhao Jian's thoughts. If he leads such a team, if his opponent is an Anxi refugee, he will most likely win. After all, even a naturalized Anxi Qingzhuang will not be able to win on Zhao's side.
Military training has also been carried out, and they are only stronger than the refugees, not to mention there are many elites of the Zhao family, so it is not impossible to take down the opponent in one go.
If the opponent is a bandit like Laguerre, the backbone of the Zhao family led by An Qingzhuang will indeed be unable to defeat them, but they will not be completely without combat effectiveness. Heavy losses are possible, but as long as they are not sent deliberately, at least the entire army will not be defeated.
annihilated.
"Isn't this a bit too direct?" Zhao Yan looked at Zhao Jian with some worry. The people who died the most in this way must be the Anxi naturalized people, but the problem is that the other party is not a fool either.
"It's okay. If an unexpected situation happens, I don't have to come back." Zhao Jian said very calmly. During this time of food shortage, it would be easy for something to happen if a large number of Parthian naturalized people were sent to die. And once the Zhao family
If there is civil strife in Wubao, the possibility of being captured will greatly increase, but without sending a group of people to die, the Zhao family's food reserves are really not enough.
"Our earlier plan was too radical. The number of local people we gathered was indeed too much, and we can't abandon it directly now, so we must think of some other methods." Zhao Jian said calmly, absorbing a large number of young people from Anxi.
Assimilating it has indeed greatly strengthened the Zhao family's foundation and allowed them to move quickly and steadily on the road to founding the country. However, under the locust plague, the shortcomings of such an approach were naturally exposed.
"Didn't we report to Chang'an and beg them to bring food from Xinzhou?" Zhao Yan asked with a livid face. Although he also realized that his own food was not enough, as long as the food from Xinzhou was delivered on time, their Zhao family
It won't get to that point.
"You are still so naive." Zhao Jian smiled and said, "Chen Zichuan is indeed kind and keeps his promise. He will definitely send food, but we are too far away from Xinzhou and there are too many families passing by.
, believe me, even if it can be delivered in the end, it will be late and the quantity will be small."
There is no other meaning. Zhao Jian knows very well how cruel other aristocratic families who are his allies are when things really happen. Chen Zichuan has saintliness, but it does not mean that others also have saintliness.
Zhao Yan's face was ugly, and he opened his mouth to argue, but Zhao Jian waved his hand, "Don't expect people who are about to starve to death to talk about morality. When Guan Zi talks about virtue, it also starts with having enough food. People who are about to starve to death, for
Whatever you do in life is appropriate in my opinion. If you do nothing, I admire his morality, but I cannot ask everyone to do the same."
Zhao Jian believed that the brothers around him would not deliberately save other people's food, but Zhao Jian believed that the beasts around him would not deliberately prevent his own people from getting more food, so the Zhao family must be the one who was injured in the end. This is also
Zhao Jian was very envious when he saw the three Guo and Liuyin families running away at will. They were trees with such big roots and deep roots that it was difficult to move.
"So I personally ordered the troops. If something happens, I will die there and solve the problem in another way. If things are under control, believe me, our Zhao family may turn around this time. Media's
There are a lot of supplies." Zhao Jian said with a sneer.
With this understanding, Zhao Jian quickly mobilized the backbone of his subordinates, as well as the young people who were naturalized in Anxi, organized a team of 20,000 people, and opened the basement to move out a large amount of supplies in front of many people.
, took the oath and went straight to Media.
Many Parthian naturalized people in the tribe, who were upset because of the rationing system and the rumored news that they were about to run out of food, saw the treasury opened by Zhao when he mobilized the army to attack Media. Their originally upset hearts quickly calmed down.
After landing, Zhao still had enough food before she ran out of ammunition and food.
In fact, where did so much grain and grass come from? There was only a thin layer of grain in the newly opened basement, and the rest was more of a disguise. Even the logistics of grain and grass carried by the 20,000-strong army was actually not that much.
It's only enough to rush to Media.
That's right, Zhao Jian is not planning to come back. For him, he has to either kill the refugees in Media and grab enough food for the Zhao family to eat and drink, or he can take most of this group of people and die there to reduce the burden on his family.
As for other options, there are none.
After all, how much food, weapons and equipment, and prohibited materials are in Media. Zhao Jian, a local, knows very well that with hundreds of thousands of refugees alone, he wants to destroy Media in just a few days.
It's nonsense to run out of supplies, not to mention that I heard that the Roman Empire still had a large amount of fast-growing rice seeds stored there, and now that's also food.
At the same time, Er Cui and the Wei family also received the tip. Like the Zhao family, they were also selling prohibited materials in Midia. As a businessman, the Wei family continued to sell, while Er Cui, who had no money this year, sold high-end prohibited materials.
Supplies, make some money, get some food, so that you can survive this year.
Anyway, that was the reason, so the dead soldiers who used the speed of light to cut successfully managed to pass the message to them until the end.
After receiving the news, the Wei family was still evaluating whether to send troops. After all, the Caucasus had not been affected by the locust plague, and Er Cui had already rushed in with his elite troops.
I only sent one word, and the author was so miserable, ugh
