At present, the "Yuan Rong" of the Jin State is Zhao Yang, which means that when anything happens to the Zhao family, they should have to pay more than the other families of the Jin State.
The Zhi family and the Wei family really exceeded their quota!
In contrast, the Zhao family only assembled three "divisions" of troops this time. It is hard to say whether Zhao Yang will conduct family recruitment again in the future. Anyway, there are currently no three "divisions" of the Zhao family except "Wen".
Besides, any other Zhao troops appeared.
Zhiyao and Wei Ju came with their troops. They fought fiercely with the coalition forces retreating south and achieved good results. At this point, they did not complete Zhao Yang's military order, but only defeated about 50,000 coalition forces. Some kind of
To a certain extent, even if he retreats, Zhao Yang cannot actually criticize him.
At first, Wei Ju didn't quite understand why Zhiyao wanted to lead his army to retreat. Later, after hearing Zhiyao's explanation, he still didn't understand. It was Uncle Jian who listened to Wei Ju's retelling of Zhiyao's words, and Uncle Jian interpreted it from Wei's perspective.
Only then did Wei Ju figure it out.
"The prince Zhi can see the overall situation at such a young age. The prince needs to learn more and apply it." Uncle Jian admired Zhiyao from the bottom of his heart.
Wei Ju has always known that there is a gap between himself and Zhiyao. Unexpectedly, there is not only a gap in military ability, but also a bigger gap in vision?
Later, Wei Ju went to look for Zhiyao and said, "This withdrawal is the result of our mutual wish."
That means we have to carry the pot together.
Zhiyao said with a smile: "You and I have no public positions."
That's right, even though they fought for the country many times, they really didn't hold any official positions.
Just because Zhiyao and Wei Ju did not hold national positions, let alone not getting things done, even if they caused any bad effects, not only could they not be dealt with, Zhao Yang even wanted to praise Zhiyao and Wei Ju.
Wei Ju’s character.
A lot of times it's just that fucked up, and there are even more fucked up things, it just depends on your family background.
Two days later, Zhi's "division" in "Shan" withdrew, and at the same time Wei's two "divisions" in "Huai" began to move toward "Ning". Only then did Zhi's and Wei's armies in "Wen"
The loot and prisoners began to move to "Ning".
It took them three days to reach "Ning" and stationed there, and then Zhao Yang's messenger arrived on the third day.
The person who came was Zhiyao, whom he had never met before. After completing the identity confirmation process, the three parties started talking about business.
The person who came here called himself Qi'an. Judging from the prefix, he was from Qi State, and his identity was that he was a retainer of the Zhao family.
"My eldest son has led an 'army' to the south, and now he should be stationed in 'Mu'." Qi An mentioned it first.
Zhiyao knows where "Mu" is.
If Zhao Wuxie was on the "Mu" side, the Zhao family transferred troops from the eastern part of Jin.
This "Mu" is about 140 miles away from "Ning". Considering that "Mu" and "Yuan" are at least 600 miles apart, Qi'an came to "Ning" from "Yuan" and knew where Zhao Wushe was.
Basically, Zhao Wuji had already been stationed in "Mu".
Zhiyao was not polite and asked: "Since Wuxie is in 'Mu', why not join forces with Yao and Ju to go south?"
What the hell!
The Zhao family had already had troops heading south. It was most likely that Zhiyao and Wei Ju led their troops to arrive when they were rushing to "Wen". They did not go to join Zhiyao and Wei Ju. Instead, they were stationed as far away as "Mu".
Qi An felt that this script was wrong. Shouldn't the armies led by the three heirs of the Zhi, Wei and Zhao families be reunited and then rush to "Wen"?
At present, "Wen" has a large number of troops in the enemy and our camps. There are about 40,000 coalition troops who have withdrawn from the north and south, as well as 40,000 Chu troops who crossed the river and headed north not long ago, 20,000 Zheng troops and 10,000 Fan troops. Naturally, there are also Zhao troops.
There were about 70,000 Jin troops led by Yang Yang.
The coalition forces that crossed the river and headed north came to rescue the friendly forces that had entered the interior of the Jin Kingdom early in the morning. They crossed the river two days after Zhiyao and Wei Ju led their troops to evacuate, and stopped at the "Wen" area without continuing northward. A day after arriving on the north bank of the river, they waited for the retreating troops.
friendly forces.
Because Zhao Yang led his army closely behind him, the assembled coalition forces did not immediately withdraw to the south bank of the river, but directly confronted the Jin army led by Zhao Yang at "Wen".
"The Lord and the enemy are already engaged in a fierce battle." Qi An didn't finish his sentence, and his words were cut off.
Wei Ju interrupted and asked: "How is the war going?"
Qi'an replied: "There will be victory and defeat for each other, my lord."
This time the person who interrupted Qi An was Zhi Yao.
"Is there any sign of the enemy's retreat?" Zhiyao asked.
For Qi An, the conversation experience is really too bad, or he still has to answer: "Not yet, or maybe there is?"
So is it there or not?
Zhiyao and Wei Ju looked at each other and came to the same conclusion: Either the Zhao family had no one left, so they sent such a retainer; otherwise, Zhao Yang couldn't express his dissatisfaction directly, so he sent such a person to express his dissatisfaction in a subtle way.
.
No matter which one it is, Zhiyao only has the word "haha" in her heart.
"We fought for days and marched long distances," Zhiyao said and stopped.
Wei Ju went on to say: "With the dignity of the two of us, it is like this, but after going through a fierce battle, everyone will be even worse."
That "honor" doesn't refer specifically to status, but to the fact that at least they can still take the bus, and the rest of the people on foot will definitely be more tired.
Again, Zhiyao and Wei Ju have no official positions. They are participating in the war to contribute to the country. Zhao Yang wants to give orders in a coercive way, so why bother? Save it!
Qi An stood up and said: "Two princes, please go to 'Mu'."
Neither Zhiyao nor Wei Ju responded.
Qi An walked to the edge of the tent and stopped, turned around and saluted and said: "There are many misunderstandings here. An is of humble status and has nothing to say. The truth will be revealed in the future."
Therefore, Qi An is not stupid. He knows that various families have lingering concerns about why Shaoshui Nan'an was defeated, and are at a stage where they lack trust in the Zhao family.
The Zhao family has now done a lot of things to make each family put aside their worries. For example, Zhao Wuxie brought his troops to join Zhiyao and Wei Ju, and then the Zhao family must take on heavier tasks, etc.
Wei Ju waited for Qi An to leave before showing a slightly uneasy expression and said, "If Yuan Rong blames him,"
It's right to be worried, especially since Wei Ju is still young and Zhao Yang had a lot of power before.
Zhiyao felt no disturbance in her heart, and even wanted to laugh a little because of Wei Ju's sad look.
In view of Wei Ju's very cooperative relationship, Zhiyao didn't mind teaching him some wisdom and said: "Once Shaoshui was defeated, the majesty of Yuan Rong was completely lost. Now it is the Zhao family who wants to ask for help from us, and we who do not want to ask for help from Zhao."
Serving the country is our duty. However, if we are like this, what about others?"
Zhishen, the head of the Zhi family, cannot be tough at all. If Zhi Yao continues to be soft, Zhi family will definitely be regarded as a thug by Zhao Yang.
The Wei family and the Zhao family are currently in a competitive relationship, and there is competition in itself. Moreover, the Wei family does not owe the Zhao family anything at all. On the contrary, the Zhao family has not paid back the favors owed to the Wei family by Zhao Wu during the Zhao Wu era. No matter how unhappy he is, Zhao Yang can still
How about Wei's?
Of course, what Zhiyao needs is for the Wei family and the Zhi family to advance and retreat together. But if they want to advance and retreat together, it is impossible without a common enemy. Without a common enemy, the Zhi family and the Wei family will part ways and then fight each other.
They stationed themselves at "Ning" without moving, and even detached some troops to escort the prisoners and trophies back.
Of course, Zhiyao was not just waiting for Zhao Wushe to lead his army. Instead of sending fewer scouts, he sent out quite a lot of scouts.
They are also starting to build a pontoon bridge, and will immediately head to the south bank of the river when Zhao Wushe leads his army.
"The armies of Chu and Zheng have all arrived on the north bank of the river, and the interior will undoubtedly be very empty. I don't need to lead the army to Wen to participate in the battle. I only need to cross the river to the south bank, whether to intercept the coalition's retreat, or to take advantage of Zheng's emptiness.
Taking advantage is actually the greatest help to Jin." Zhiyao stared at the map of mountains and rivers, thinking clearly in her mind.
For Zhiyao, the most difficult thing is how to attack the Zheng State more hard while allowing the Chu State to retain its strength, and the second is not to lose confidence in the Fan family to stick to "warmth".
"The Chu State really cannot be finished now. Once they are finished, they will strengthen the Wu State. The Wu State is too strong and makes the Jin State very uncomfortable." Zhiyao has a clear understanding of this point.
What should I say? Zhiyao may still be immature in some tactics, but he definitely has a longer-term vision than most people today when it comes to strategy.
There's nothing to say about this. If he can't match others in terms of strategic vision, he should just commit suicide early to avoid suffering a humiliating and miserable death.
"What I want more is that the Zhao family suffered heavy losses, but we can't treat Zhao Yang as a fool!" Zhiyao heard Wei Ju's voice outside.
Wei Ju was allowed to open the curtain and walked in, followed closely by Zhao Wushe, the eldest son of the Zhao family.
In advance, Zhiyao already knew that Zhao Wuxie was coming and asked Wei Ju to greet him.
"Yao, our army has just arrived, why?" Zhao Wuxie was interrupted mid-sentence.
It is impolite to interrupt others, but Zhiyao did the same not only to Qi An, Zhao Yang's messenger, but also to Zhao Wuxie.
Wei Ju felt that he had learned another skill, such as interrupting others, which could sometimes be used to show strength and dissatisfaction.
They waited in "Ning" for seven days, which meant that Zhao Wuxie took his time before coming over.
Now it is Zhao Yang who is in urgent need of reinforcements, and no one else. The prince of the Zhao family doesn't care, so why should others care?
And during that period, Zhao Yang sent people over one after another, either to urge the advance of the army or to ask when they could advance.
Zhiyao and Wei Ju gave the same answer respectively: when Zhao Guanji will arrive with his army, they will make a decision based on the actual situation.
Only Zhishen was on the "Wen" side, and Wei Chi, the head of the Wei family, was in the Jin State and the Western Jin Dynasty to defend against the Qin State.
Everyone knows what kind of person Jishen is.
If Zhao Yang was not stupid, he would definitely understand that Zhi Yao and Wei Ju respectively represented their own families and expressed their dissatisfaction with Zhao Yang.
Once or twice, Zhao Yang still sent people over again and again, without changing his toughness at all.
When some people do not have enough status, they use force to try to persuade others, and once others give in, they will push themselves further; when such people have enough status, they will still use the same methods even if their authority is lost due to some things.
Zhiyao looked at Zhao Wuxie and said expressionlessly: "Ju and I will cross the river immediately. Whether Wuxie comes or not is up to you."
It was purely because Zhi Yao didn't know that Zhao Wuxie had repeatedly held back "Zhi Yao" in history, or simply that he was holding back the Jin State. Otherwise, Zhi Yao would definitely feel better.
Of course, Zhiyao led his army to the south bank of the river not to hold back, but to ruin the country!
