"With the number of defenders like Wen, Bolu only has one division under his command, so it is difficult to attack by force." Zhiyao was not afraid of Zhao Yang and pointed out the key point directly.
That is basic military common sense. No one told Zhao Yang, and he must also know that.
The Zhao family's elite suffered the heaviest losses among the four remaining families with high positions in the civil war. They subsequently expanded their sources of troops and heard that even their subjects were mobilized.
What are subjects? They are a group of ordinary people who rely on the Zhao family for their lives. If they are not selected as "Xian", they will learn how to work from the moment they become sensible, such as how to take better care of the fields.
History was changed by Zhiyao, so that Zhao Yang had no chance to issue a declaration of "War of Iron". Zhao still went ahead with expanding his military resources as usual.
Judging from the current situation, among the four families currently holding high positions, Zhao's life is the most difficult, but if they can survive this time, the effect of expanding their military resources will inevitably be seen.
Zhiyao continued: "If there is a 'division' that takes 'Wen', its reinforcements must be cut off."
If you don't have enough troops, why attack by force? The loss of troops is heavier than that of the defenders, and it will definitely be reversed later.
Want to play a long siege? Zhiyao doesn't think Zhao Bolu can do it with one "division" of troops.
So, Zhao Yang only gave Zhao Bolu one "division" of troops, and it is most likely that more troops were used elsewhere!
Fan's Shijishe was in the State of Zheng. The cities in other areas that still belonged to the Fan family could not receive orders from Shijishe. The areas close to the State of Zheng could still maintain contact.
The connection between the Fan family in the "Wen" area and Shijishe has not been severed, and there are a large number of cities belonging to the Fan family in the surrounding area. Not to mention that Shijishe can lead troops from Zheng to rescue "Wen".
As he spoke, Zhiyao suddenly stopped and looked at Zhao Yang with a somewhat enlightened expression. What he saw was Zhao Yang looking at him with an expression of admiration.
This time Zhiyao has fully reacted!
A "division" of troops would definitely not be able to take down the large city of "Wen", but Zhao Yang only gave Zhao Bolu a "division" of troops. It was clear that he was using Zhao Bolu as bait to attract reinforcements from other cities in the Fan family.
Or induce Shijishe to return home!
Well, Zhiyao had thought wrong from the beginning. It wasn't that Zhao Yang wanted him to help Zhao Bolu, or that it was not just Zhao Bolu who was helping. If Zhiyao was required to participate, it would have been the Zhao family and the Zhi family who joined forces to blow the whistle, which made the Fan family
The clarion call of complete defeat.
No!
Perhaps it is not just the union of the Zhao family and the Zhi family. The southern cities originating from the Fan family were all planned for the Wei family. The Wei family must be indispensable. In addition, the Han family is now almost a vassal of the Zhao family. Han Buxin thought
It is not that fast to get rid of Zhao's control, so Han's participation is naturally indispensable.
"Is this Zhao Yang's plan only after he agreed to marry his daughter?" Zhiyao thought to herself.
What he believed was that the marriage between the Zhi family and the Zhao family was a "qualitative change", that is, the Zhi family and the Zhao family would enter a stable period of friendship, and the internal structure of the Jin Kingdom would also change.
With the environment where the Zhi family can live in peace with the Zhao family, the Zhi family and the Wei family have become allies. The Zhao family and the Han family are entangled. The relationship between the two parties has improved because of their respective bosses, and the best basis for cooperation between the two parties has emerged.
.
Zhao Yang observed one thing from some of Zhiyao's expressions, that is, Zhiyao had indeed realized what Zhao wanted to do.
This discovery made Zhao Yang once again praise Zhiyao for his sensitive mind but extremely complicated mood.
With the marriage, Zhao Yang was very pleased that his son-in-law was not stupid and was extremely smart.
Taking the family as the starting point, Zhao Yang is afraid of the very smart Zhiyao. He needs to examine Zhiyao's feelings towards Zhao. If there is more malice than goodwill, some action must be taken as soon as possible.
On the other hand, Zhiyao has a lot of goodwill towards the Zhao family, and it has been verified time and time again. Having such a son-in-law may be a good thing for the Zhao family, especially since Zhao Bolu, the eldest son of the Zhao family, is relatively mediocre, and Zhao Yang can't find anyone who thinks of him for the time being.
A suitable heir.
Zhiyao, who stopped mid-sentence, ignored the others' surprise and sat back down again with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Zhao Yang did not get angry because of Zhiyao's move. He once again invited everyone to drink together, showing a very happy attitude.
The master is like that, even if he doesn't understand the situation as a guest, he only comes out to disrupt the situation when his brain is broken.
During the rest of the banquet, we talked about some insignificant things. The frequency of a few important people talking became less and less, and it was not until the banquet was almost over that they became active again.
However, there is a process for a banquet. When does it start? The congratulatory speech at the beginning sets the tone of the banquet. Some words spoken towards the end also contain profound meanings.
Some people did not come up gradually. They have not been involved in similar social interactions. If they rush in, they will not understand there are so many doorways. During the banquet, they can hardly understand what is being said. They will be confused until the end.
Confused.
Zhishen, Zhiyao and other members of the Zhi clan were sent outside by Zhao Bolu. They chatted with each other for a few more words and completed the entire engagement process.
Outside, Zhishi and others were notified, including the retainers who loaded Zhao's gift into the car and were waiting to set off, and the fully armed guards who had been waiting for a long time. They stood all over the street.
Because night had fallen, the team lit up their torches early, making the area bright and the air full of the smell of grease.
"Zhao's plan is very big." Zhishen said this not long after the vehicle started moving.
Many people in the Zhi family breathed a sigh of relief when they came out of Lao Zhao's house safely.
That was an effect brought about by Zhao's killing of Zhao Wu who came to his door.
In fact, from then on, there was no need for any nobles to visit the Zhao family's house, and even Han Buxin no longer easily stepped into the Zhao family's house.
Zhiyao looked at the dark capital city in the distance and said softly: "Zhongjun Zuonai is planning for succession."
It is impossible to completely block the news about Jisong's deteriorating physical condition.
How could Zhao Yang, who knew that Zhisong was dying, not step up his plans to take over the power of "Yuan Rong"?
The father and son are not yet able to be the masters of Lao Zhi's family. They need to explain to Zhi Shuang what happened at the banquet in detail when they return, especially what Zhao Yang said and the attitude he showed in as much detail as possible.
listen.
No one came out to add drama on the way home.
Zhishen and Zhiyao, who had safely returned home, went straight to the yard where Zhishuo was training without asking for permission in advance.
Zhisong waited patiently. When he saw Zhishen and Zhiyao coming back, he put down the books in his hands.
"This is what it should be." Zhizong was talking about Zhao Yang's preparations for taking over.
He added: "If there is any change, it will be on the king and the Hu family."
Jin Junwu had already sent people to the Hu family, but no follow-up news had been released at all.
This is because even Zhizhuo, who is a "Yuanrong", doesn't know what Jin Junwu is doing. The Hu family is unable to get any information feedback because of the long distance and no manpower deployed in advance.
Zhiyao said: "The Wei family has greatly benefited from this move of the central army."
That is an obvious thing. Once Zhao Yang really sets up a plan and successfully resolves the Fan family's final resistance, it will make it easier for the Wei family to take over the cities of the Fan family in the south.
Zhiyao did not ask Zhisong whether the Wei family had disclosed any information in advance.
The Wei family only formed an alliance with the Zhi family. They were not vassals of the Zhi family. Even as vassals, they would not report everything in detail.
"Zhao Yang is not a kind person. After me, every family will be in trouble." Zhi Shuang made a prediction directly.
That's why the Lao Zhi family married the Lao Zhao family. Even though there is no security guarantee, there are more opportunities to contact each other. With Zhiyao's intelligence, he will be able to detect abnormalities more easily, allowing the Zhi family to respond earlier.
.
In fact, just like that, the marriage will not make both parties merciful, especially for the Zhao family. They did not show any hesitation in destroying their own small sect, Handan Zhao, and their methods of doing things seemed very rough.
What needs to be said has been said. Zhizong's spirit is getting worse day by day, and her thinking is also a bit behind. It will be difficult to think things through for a while, and she needs time to think about it.
Zhishen asked Zhiyao to go back and rest, while he stayed nearby to serve his old father.
Now when night comes, most people go to bed early.
Old smart families who don't lack a few dollars, or families who can afford to light up lights at night, actually don't make their homes brightly lit either.
If this really happens, the whole home will smell very unpleasant, which will also increase the risk of water leakage.
When Zhiyao returned to her courtyard, the first thing she saw was Yurang guarding the door of the courtyard. When she got closer, she saw Shi Yiguang and Zheng Dan waiting inside the door.
The three of them congratulated Zhiyao on her successful engagement.
Yu Rang finished reporting on the purchase and left without any unnecessary nonsense.
Shi Yiguang and Zheng Dan started serving Zhiyao as soon as they entered the courtyard. They had to change clothes and bring hot soup.
Leg tapping, massaging, etc. are not what they are supposed to do.
As for asking the future hostesses, before they have been taught the proper rules and learned the rules of aristocratic maids, they may ask. They have been "trained" to know what can and cannot be asked.
Asking about the future mistress? They were stupid enough to ask Zhiyao, and no servant dared to talk about the mistress. The only way to find out was when Fen Ying came to visit, or even after she actually got married.
By the way, did Zhiyao do anything to Shi Yiguang or Zheng Dan? The answer is no.
Zhiyao, who has been reborn, is not a junior brother, he understands some things that should be understood.
You are only fifteen years old! In order to grow well and for long-term happiness in the future, how can you not know how to take care of your body?
What happened today made Zhiyao need to recall and think carefully. After washing up, she waited for the bed to be warmed, got in and closed her eyes.
The person keeping watch today was Shi Yiguang. She knelt down and sat by the door indoors without making any sound. She looked straight at Zhiyao who was lying down with the insignificant light, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.
What.
Why do you take the initiative to get into Zhiyao's bed? This is the Spring and Autumn Period. Do you know that it is an international convention not to allow mistresses to take over!?
To punish those who are unfilial, they will not be able to cultivate children, and they will not be able to take concubines as wives.
Find out more?
Shi Yiguang is not even a virgin. Unless Zhiyao is in need, how else would she have the courage to do something outrageous?
