The route Zhiyao chose to go to "Gaiyu" did not go through the Taihang Mountains.
Although the army has already opened the road first, the mountain forest is still full of too many uncertainties. Moreover, some mountain roads have obviously been opened and will be filled with various plants again in less than a month.
In modern times, similar things need to be experienced in the tropical rainforest. For the Jin people in the Spring and Autumn Period, they encountered things every minute. Among the other Central Plains countries, the Zheng and Song countries were similar, and the Chu and Wu countries in the south also experienced similar things.
, Vietnam and other regions are more like the climate of Nanyang in later generations.
For the Jin State, it was okay to be green. Like the Chu State, it gets wet in spring and autumn. Men can hardly go through life without basking their balls every three days.
"The state of Chu attacked the barbarians and occupied their territory, but the state of Jin turned a blind eye?" Tian Rangju knew this news, which means Zhiyao didn't hide it.
Last year, the Chu State sent troops to attack the Man clan, but it took less than four months to capture the "Man clan" city.
The "Man Clan" city is one of the only three cities of the Man Clan. According to the culture of Zhu Xia, it is considered a "poison" level. The other two cities are called "Huo" and "Liang" respectively.
Tian Juanju only knew that the Jin State did not break out at war with the Chu State, and did not know that the Han family and the Hu family jointly sent troops.
As the general who commanded the troops going south, Han Buxin watched the show on the north bank of Yishui River throughout the whole process. Those who knew about it knew that he was extremely cowardly.
Han Buxin had good reasons for being timid. Firstly, the Jin army only dispatched less than one "army", and the Han family itself was not that capable of fighting; secondly, the Hu family had just returned to Jin, and their combat effectiveness was not trusted; and finally, the Hu family had just returned to Jin.
It was the Chu State that dispatched 80,000 troops. By the time the Jin army reached the north bank of the Yishui River and had captured the city of "Manshi", it was the moment when the morale of the Chu army was at its highest.
Those reasons were placed in front of Zhao Yang. Although he was very angry by Han Buxin, he still did not impose any punishment.
Han Buxin's move brought many effects. In addition to proving repeatedly that the Han family could not carry the cauldron alone, it also once again confirmed Han Buxin's unreliability.
As the "Yuanrong", Zhao Yang has sent people to "Ying", the capital of Chu, to ask whether the Chu State is going to have trouble with the Jin State and repeat the previous hegemony situation.
How would the Chu State respond? Zhiyao could probably guess it, and even thought that Zhao Yang's actions exposed the Jin State's powerlessness.
In the past, the Jin State would not have sent envoys to the capital of "Ying", but would have immediately gathered an army to go south.
Now? The chaos in the Jin Dynasty has damaged a wave of vitality. The Zhao family and the Wei family are entangled by the Fan family. It is obvious that the Han family is useless. The new Qing family, the Hu family, has not proven its strength, and the Zhi family is
There are very legitimate reasons not to participate in the national war.
Therefore, in addition to sending envoys to the Chu State for seemingly majestic accountability, Zhao Yang really exposed the fact that there was nothing that could be done against the Chu State.
Tian Ranju said: "The Fan family is still in the south and will definitely collude with the Chu State. I am afraid that the Jin State will be in trouble."
Zhiyao thought to herself: "Who says it's not the case?"
It was revealed that the Jin State was having difficulty coping with the situation abroad. By showing its own weakness in front of the Chu State, it was really difficult to prevent the Chu State from taking advantage of the situation.
What Jin needs to be thankful for is that Wu has really risen. Even if Chu wants to go north to compete with Jin, the Wu behind it will make Chu regain its composure.
Therefore, when the Chu State captured the Man clan, they only achieved a strategic advantage for the Jin State. If the Jin State did not quickly change this situation, even if the civil strife in Jin Dynasty completely subsided, it would be difficult for the Jin State to eliminate the Chu State's influence on itself.
strategic threats.
Another point is that the capture of the Man clan by the Chu State actually exposed the Zhou royal family directly to the threat of Chu's military strength. As a result, Chu State was only one step away from destroying Jin's promise to protect the Zhou royal family.
There is a saying that "a phoenix is not as good as a chicken when it falls". The Jin State does not have the strength to carry the banner of the Zhou royal family and show off its power. It will not have any remaining power because the Jin State once dominated. On the contrary, there are many princes who want to step on the Jin State.
Upper position.
If that situation were to form, it would be equivalent to the Jin State's deterrent effect on other countries falling to a historical freezing point. If it wanted to dominate again, it would have to beat up all the dissatisfied princes again.
"Zhao Yang is now in charge of the military affairs. Although the external situation is unfavorable, it is a bad thing for Jin, but it is a good thing for my family?" Zhiyao thought to herself.
That is an obvious truth. If Zhao Yangling cannot let the Jin State dominate, the Zhao family will not be able to use the general trend to force others. If they want to cause trouble in the country, they will inevitably encounter strong resistance. If Zhao Yangling succeeds in making the Jin State dominate again, the various families
When facing the Zhao family, I felt guilty at first, almost letting Zhao Yang manipulate me.
Zhiyao, who heard the news about Han Buxin's actions, suspected that it was intentional.
After all, the Han family was infiltrated by the Zhao family. If they didn't struggle quickly, they might be easily annexed by the Zhao family one day.
Under this sense of urgency, Han Buxin himself wanted to preserve his strength and still be able to stumble Zhao Yang. What was the lesser of two evils, losing his reputation?
"Gaiyu" in the distance is already in sight, and the city can also be seen under siege.
Speaking of which, the only city in Heidi in Dongshan also adopted the Zhuxia style. The city walls were made of rammed earth and looked like an irregular square shape.
Zhiyao and others took "Hukou" to the central and western part of Jin State, then took the route on the east bank of Shaoshui, went to "Yang" which currently belongs to the Wei family, and then headed eastward.
Taking such a big turn took far less time than taking the Taihang Mountain route. Most of the way along the way was the Zhi family's territory, which allowed Zhi Yao to more or less complete her goal of inspecting her own fiefdom.
"Do you want to imitate the King of Chuzhuang?" Seeing that Zhiyao didn't answer, Tian Juju asked again, not knowing what he thought of.
Zhiyao was slightly frightened at first.
King Chuzhuang? He was one of the only "kings" in the East at that time.
When Zhiyao came to his senses, he said, "You are already a blockbuster if you don't sing? Why should Yao do this?"
In fact, Tian Juju saw that Zhi Yao didn't seem to care about the predicament facing the Jin State, and asked the Zhi family if she wanted the other nobles to see Zhao's incompetence, and then the Zhi family would explode again to win the hearts and minds of the Jin people.
, and then let other countries look at him with admiration.
Zhiyao's answer was straightforward enough, indicating that she had already become a blockbuster.
The result is that Tian Juju feels that Zhiyao's thinking is not on the same channel as his. What he asked is whether Zhishi will make any big move next time. For example, after overthrowing Zhao Yang, Zhishen will become the "Yuan Rong" of the Jin Kingdom.
.
In addition, Zhiyao actually understood it. The question is why should she answer it for Tian Ruoju, who is not one of her own?
They came all the way without any accidents.
There are still people from the Fan and Zhonghang clans hiding in many places in the Jin Kingdom, and those belonging to the Zhonghang clan are returning home.
Under the great chaos, the chaos will continue for a period of time, which is directly reflected in the wilderness becoming more unsafe.
Zhiyao's team took on the banner of the Zhi clan, and many people from the Zhongxing clan came to seek refuge from their hiding places.
The Fan family and the Zhao family have the greatest sense of hatred. They will hesitate to fight when they see the Zhi family being able to fight, so they will not definitely launch an attack when they see the Zhao family's team being able to fight.
In front of the camp gate, Cheng Shuo led people to greet him and went to the big tent to tell Zhiyao about the recent battle situation.
Zi Lu was not commanding the attack on "Gai You". Their attack on "Gai You" was launched six days ago, and they are still in a stage of testing each other.
"There are more than three thousand Di people who have fled to Gaiyu in the mountains and forests. There may be nearly ten thousand in Gaiyu city?" Cheng Shuo went to the main tent and reported to Zhiyao.
No one knows exactly how many people there were in Dongshan Heidi. An unreliable estimate is that it was about 40,000 to 50,000 people. Most of them live in mountainous and forested areas, and some live in the plains of the northwest.
This is because the northwest of Heidi in Dongshan is not safe. In addition to the threats from the Jin people, there are also threats from Lou Fan and Qiu You.
The "Gaiyu" they built was a small city, with only five or six thousand people living there on a normal day?
Zhiyao brought people to Zilu. When he saw the people, he pointed out that they were not here to take over the command. Zilu should continue to do whatever they should do, without paying much attention to them.
The height of the city wall built by Heidi in Dongshan is about six meters, and it does not look like a straight line. There are battlements but no parapets. At first glance, it looks like it has not been studied properly.
Zhiyao had previously learned that the size of his own army that came to "Gaiyu" was only two "divisions", and the other "division" was still in the mountains and forests to clear out the hiding Heidi.
The difficulty in dealing with the Dongshan Black Di is to clear it out, and it will take a long time, not just defeat it. This can also attack the Dongshan Black Di. The Fan family and the Zhonghang family were too lazy to fight, but the Zhao family can also do it.
There is no reason to start.
Zhiyao knows how to do things, capturing labor is only one of them, taking the opportunity to train new troops is more important.
By the way, why didn't Zhiyao use the new army as an engineering team, or didn't he assemble the army to use as an engineering team? After all, this is not the era of junior soldiers.
Maybe it was Zhiyao's arrival that made Cheng Shuo and Zilu feel a sense of urgency, or maybe it was also the new army's strong combat effectiveness.
After the two thought that the test was enough, they launched a strong attack on "Gaiyu". With the Zhishi soldiers who had sneaked in earlier, it was only one day. The new army used the inside and outside to attack the city, and spent another two days to defeat Dongshan Heidi.
The leader was escorted to Zhiyao.
Tian Ruoju, who watched the whole process of Kecheng, did not make any comments.
Perhaps in Tian Ranju's view, it was natural for the Zhi family to capture the city. The fighting power of Dongshan Heidi was not enough to compete with the Zhi family. Losing was a natural thing, and it was not enough to test the strength of the Zhi family's new army.
Afterwards, I, who was accompanying me, found Zhiyao and said, "Can I walk here with my ears?"
Zhiyao's first thought was: "Brother Li wants to use Dongshan Heidi to test the transformation of Hu?"
But, there seems to be something wrong?
According to historical records, when Laozi transformed Hu into a Hu, he went to the Qin State after leaving Hangu Pass. It seems that the Qin people were targeted at the Hu Hu, right?
What is strange is that I disappeared immediately after leaving Hangu Pass to the west. Not only did other countries have no follow-up records, there is also no record of Laozi leaving Hangu Pass to the west in the history of Qin?
