In the past, the Zhao family was very powerful and could challenge the Fan family. Zhao Yang's strong performance certainly relied on the family's strength.
Now that Zhao Yang has become a "Yuan Rong", the Zhao family's strength has been greatly reduced in the civil war, and they are still strong. I don't know whether it is due to personality or because of their status.
If Zhiyao was still afraid of the Zhao family before, she has gradually seen the results after working so hard. The performance of the new army is obvious to all. The main reason is that Zhishen's character is really tough, so Zhiyao can only be allowed to take on the toughest role in the Zhi family.
role.
Judging from the strength on paper, the Zhi family is now the most powerful family in Jin.
Isn't it just strength? Strength is just strength. There is a saying that "a raging army, a raging group of generals". There are many powerful forces. It's not because of the incompetence of their leaders that they were eventually destroyed by opponents weaker than themselves.
The powerful Zhi family will be suppressed by Zhao Yang under the leadership of Zhishen. If it is Zhi Yao's turn to be the leader of the Zhi family, it may be difficult to bring confidence to everyone in the family in a short period of time.
Zhiyao wanted to accomplish too much, and he didn't have much time to rebuild the confidence of everyone in the family. Taking advantage of Zhao Yang's mistakes and being questioned by many families, the timing couldn't be more perfect.
Already.
"Yao." Wei Ju, who was in the same car with Zhi Yao, turned his head and glanced behind him. His eyes fell on Zhi Yao again and said, "'Yuan Rong' is not a generous person. If you do this, I'm afraid you will suffer his revenge."
.”
They have arrived at the south bank of the river and are currently approaching a place called "Evil Cao".
In other words, it was obvious that Zhiyao wanted to do something because she did not rush to the south bank of the river near "Wen" immediately after crossing the river.
Wei Ju felt that he had been dragged onto the pirate ship by Zhi Yao. He was not unhappy at all, and even felt very happy. He warned Zhi Yao out of friendship.
Why is it cool? Needless to say!
The main force of the Zheng State went to the north bank of the river. Even if the Zheng State still had troops inside, how long would it take for them to assemble the troops? Before that, how far had the Jin army that came to the south bank of the river attacked the city and plundered the land?
.
Zhiyao said: "Wuxi is here too."
Zhao Wuxie crossed the river with his troops. After they learned what Zhi and Wei's troops wanted to do, they did not choose to go back to the north bank of the river and then go to "Wen" land, nor did they pounce on the troops near "Wen" land.
On the south bank of the river, Gan Qian cut off the retreat of the coalition forces and followed the troops of the Zhi family and the Wei family with an unclear attitude.
No matter what Zhao Wuxie was thinking or why he made this choice, they just didn't use the fastest speed to get close to the "warm" effect.
"Ju has never known what Wuxie thinks." Wei Ju had not had much contact with Zhao Wuxie, and he had the impression that Zhao Wuxie was very taciturn.
He is not as lively as he should be at such a young age, and is taciturn towards others. He is not shy, but must be profound beyond his years.
Wei Ju thought to himself: "Zhao Wuxie feels too uncertain. He hasn't done much for the time being. I wonder if it will be an obstacle to Zhiyao and I's career in the future?"
What career? Didn't Zhiyao repeatedly express his desire to revive the Jin Kingdom's hegemony? Moreover, Zhiyao also practiced it, which means he means what he says and he will practice it.
The return of Jin's hegemony is beneficial to every Jin person, and the people who benefit the most are definitely the Qing family. They understand the benefits of Jin's hegemony, and they can unite whenever Jin's hegemony is on the verge of collapse. But now the heads of each family seem to
We no longer have the awareness of our ancestors.
It can't be said that. It should be said that there are too many things that make each family head trust the other and then the price of being betrayed is too high, so that it is difficult to form mutual trust.
It took them less than three days to conquer "Ecao" after they arrived.
That was because the "Evil Cao" himself did not have many troops. The reason was of course that Zheng Guo once again gathered his army to go north and drained the troops along the river.
Zhiyao sent many scouts in advance, and they were able to detect the situation along the Zhengguo River in general, and then used the "evil cao" to conquer the "evil cao" to confirm that the intelligence of the investigation was correct.
"Let's divide the troops." Zhiyao pointed to the hanging map of mountains and rivers and said, "I will lead the army to go straight south, Ju will lead the army to sweep eastward, and Wuxie will lead the army to the west."
Wei Ju had no objection.
There are four cities of Zheng State to the east from "Evil Cao", and the harvest is actually not bad, especially since Zhiyao led his army south to ensure that there will be no surprises.
Zhao Wuxie was still looking at the map of mountains and rivers, his brows furrowed a little.
There are many cities in Zheng State to the west from "Evil Cao", and that side is regarded as the retreat of the coalition forces. Regardless of whether the coalition forces have left any troops to defend the retreat, they learned that Jin Jun appeared in that area and gathered new troops again.
, or the coalition forces on the north bank of the river return south, which is always very risky.
Seeing that Zhao Wuxie didn't respond, Zhiyao asked, "What doubts does Wuxie have?"
Zhao Wuxie moved his eyes away from the map of mountains and rivers, looked at Zhiyao, and said, "I only have one division of soldiers."
A division of the Jin Dynasty contains one hundred chariots and a total of 7,500 troops. The number of auxiliary troops depends on how many retinues the "soldiers" and "disciples" bring.
If a "shi" is arranged to drive a chariot by himself, the driver of the chariot must be one of his own, followed by at least ten soldiers, plus about twenty retinues.
It's a bit more complicated for "soldiers" who are not assigned to carry chariots. They can come alone or bring some soldiers with them.
As for "disciples", they pay the gifts themselves and decide whether to bring along a retinue depending on their family circumstances.
Therefore, it is not only difficult for the Jin army to confirm the number of auxiliary troops, but also for other countries.
This is the reality that the army belongs to the nobility and not to the country.
In terms of how many combat soldiers a country has in its army, one combat soldier is paired with at least one auxiliary soldier. This means that the number of auxiliary soldiers is definitely more than the number of combat soldiers. Therefore, we can find out that it is clearly claimed to be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even
Every time more troops lose about 10%, the army loses the ability to continue fighting. Isn't it just because the fighting soldiers are gone and the auxiliary troops cannot carry the main beam?
It was different in the Spring and Autumn Period. What was announced internally and externally was how many troops were dispatched, and auxiliary troops were not included in the combat effectiveness list.
After the Warring States Period, there were tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of troops, including auxiliary troops.
Later, if there are twenty or thirty thousand people, they are called one hundred thousand, and if there are two hundred thousand people, they are called one million troops.
Zhao Wuxie had only one idea: their fighting power was limited, let alone attacking one city after another. It was hard to say whether they would be bitten and eaten again. He could only ask Zhiyao if he wanted them to die.
Already.
Death? Now it is Zhao Wuji who needs to take the risk, not Zhiyao or Wei Ju.
Of course, Zhiyao and Wei Ju can also go, but they will probably be called idiots by almost all the nobles.
If they really did that, it would be okay if they succeeded, but if they didn't, it's very likely that even Zhao would scold them.
"Go west, it's up to you how to fight." Zhiyao just gave the direction, and to a certain extent, it fulfilled Zhao Wuji's great cause.
Now Zhao Yang is leading the Jin army to face the coalition forces on the frontal battlefield. Do you want to eat that coalition army? Can you eat it? Let's see if you can block the coalition forces on the north bank of the river.
Zhao Wushe is the eldest son of the Zhao family. The head of the Zhao family is the head of the "Qing" in the Jin Kingdom. The Zhao family has more than just obligations, but it is also a responsibility that must be borne.
Almost all the benefits are taken, but you don’t want to pay for your obligations and responsibilities? How can there be such a beautiful thing in the world!
Facing Zhiyao's answer, Zhao Wuxie said nothing was right.
Could it be that Zhao Wuhe wanted to say that the Zhi family and the Wei family were going to stand up to the thunder, and he would continue to watch the show from behind? If he could say it shamelessly, it would also depend on whether Zhi Yao and Wei Ju were fools.
Wei Ju didn't know the saying "stealing a chicken makes you lose a piece of rice", otherwise he would definitely have this opinion of Zhao Wuxie.
Who told Zhao Wuji to hide in "Mu" to watch the show?
What did you do early?
Zhiyao and Wei Ju have resisted two waves of coalition forces and suffered losses. They found an opportunity to make a fortune from Zheng Guo, and they have not yet delayed serving the country. Try to accuse them?
"Let's divide the troops!" Zhiyao didn't give anyone more room to perform. After saying that, he just indicated what should be done.
Wei Ju didn't hesitate at all. After leaving Zhiyao's tent, he went to his own army, which had been prepared for a long time, and started heading east with the army.
Zhao Wushe stayed where he was, watching silently as the auxiliary soldiers of the old Zhi family packed up the last big tent, and then watched silently as the Zhi family's army marched south.
"Your Majesty, shall we head west immediately?" Qi An asked.
To be fair, although the people of the Zhao family really wanted Zhiyao and Wei Ju to lead the army to the west, the three views they had cultivated since childhood could not say that it was wrong for Zhiyao and Wei Ju to lead their own troops to gain harvests.
If it were them? The leader of the Jin Kingdom was from another family. They had already made contributions in advance, and they were also not willing to help with the biggest thunder. It was good to do things that could gain results and have an impact on the war situation.
"Yao is really terrible." Zhao Wuxie originally wanted to say it was disgusting, but the problem was that if he said it out loud, it would ruin people's outlook on life.
Qi'an echoed: "With such a son, the Zhi family will surely prosper!"
Zhao Wuxie: ""
Mudd!
Was that a compliment?
I obviously feel very scared!
"If I go to attract the enemy troops now, there is a risk of cutting off Zhiyao and Wei Ju's retreat, and will they be forced to lead their troops back?" Zhao Wuxie couldn't help having such an idea.
What's going on? It's like, if I'm not having a good time, you guys can't even think about having a good time???
In short, Zhiyao and Wei Ju led their troops to sweep across the Zheng Kingdom. They could easily capture the city and then attack it. They tried and saw that it was not easy to fight but did not attack by force. Instead, they began to clean up the surrounding areas of the city.
In various parts of the Zheng Kingdom that did not have sufficient ability to protect themselves, the population and important resources fell into the hands of the Zhi family or the Wei family, and were then taken northward in batches by a small number of soldiers and a large number of auxiliary soldiers from the two families.
Because there were fewer targets, Wei Ju took the lead in completing the relocation of the Zheng people east of "Evil Cao".
However, Zhiyao found that he was full before he swept into the vicinity of "Zhitian". Moreover, Zheng Guo had realized that it would be dangerous to continue the special military operation and decisively led his troops to retreat north.
He reunited with Wei Ju at "Evil Cao".
"Wu Shi did not go west." Zhiyao had already known this news.
Wei Ju said with a gloomy face: "I have fought Zheng Jun here twice."
Those Zheng troops came from the west of "Evil Cao", and their coming was the reason why Zhao Wushe did not lead his army to the west.
"I had already expected that the Second 'Brigade' would be stationed here." Zhiyao said.
Wei Ju's face remained gloomy and he said, "Wuxi has no sense of responsibility!"
Right?
Their move south was just a form of cooperation, without the constraints of superiors and subordinates. Zhao Guanjie's failure to go west was not considered a disobedience to military orders.
But Zhao Wuxie didn't tell him, which really made Wei Ju feel betrayed and held back.
Zhiyao said expressionlessly: "Go back to the country."
The eldest son of the old Zhao family does not want to help his father, let alone the consciousness of being loyal to the country.
The heirs of the Lao Zhi family and the Lao Wei family are exhausted and express their inability to fight anymore. Is there something wrong?
