"In your opinion, where should the ancestor be?" Zhisong was undecided. There were many things that he could not involve his retainers in, so he asked about the child Zhiyao.
Of course, Zhisong no longer treats Zhiyao as a child.
Whether it's what Zhiyao did in "Huang Father" or his ability to make correct judgments on situations after coming to "Xintian", just in terms of IQ and vision, many adults may not be able to compare with him.
Under this fact, Zhizong is very willing to discuss some matters with Zhiyao in detail.
Historically, great chaos in the Jin Kingdom broke out in "Xintian", and then wars spread everywhere.
This time it was different. Zhongxing Yin and Shi Jishe dragged their families back to the fiefdom early. No matter whether the monarch or Zhao Yang wanted to take action, they could not directly shoot Zhong Xingyin and Shiji in "Xintian".
If they want to destroy the Fan family and the Zhongxing family, all they can do is to gather a large army and fight a long and cruel war until Zhongxing Yin and Shijishe are killed or forced to leave the country, or the Zhao family, the Han family and the Wei family
The defeat of the Jin Dynasty was most likely due to the exhaustion of both sides, and then the civil strife in the Jin Kingdom came to an end.
Zhiyao said: "The ancestors should leave 'Xintian'."
Anyway, in "Xintian", apart from the Zhao camp, there are also neutral factions headed by the Zhi family. Does the Zhao family dare to make enemies in vain?
Zhiyao added: "You have to be on guard when you are above."
In fact, it was only later that Zhizong came to his senses and realized that the situation that had evolved into what it was now had traces of the monarch's manipulation.
Since the monarch chose to be a chess player, Zhao Yang became one of the chess pieces. God knows whether Zhi was also placed as a chess piece on the monarch's chessboard.
Due to various worries, Zhizhuang fell into hesitation, and her thoughts of leaving "Xintian" to ensure safety prevailed, but she couldn't help but feel that leaving "Xintian" would make her a complete joke.
Zhiyao said: "The war next year is unavoidable. My family has assembled four 'divisions' in the fiefdom. We only need to mobilize and station them close to 'Xintian'. There will be no worries about safety. If necessary, I can also be a fisherman."
Here Zhizong didn't understand what "fisherman" meant.
So Zhiyao had to explain the allusion of "the snipe and the clam fight against each other and the fisherman gets the profit". This allusion happened in the Western Han Dynasty, but it didn't exist in the Spring and Autumn Period anyway.
Zhizong fell into deep thought upon hearing this.
As the next generation heir to the Zhi family, Zhishen was very busy. He went to various fiefdoms of the Zhi family to issue recruitment orders, and personally led the assembled private troops to change their garrison locations.
How busy Zhishen is represents how unstable the Zhishen family is. Otherwise, wouldn’t the heir be so busy running back and forth like a spinning top just to do something ordered by the head of the family?
"At that time, I can go to various military camps and punish those who obey orders and respond, and send envoys to kill those who refuse to come, so that the internal troubles in my family can be eliminated." Zhiyao said what he had been planning for a long time.
Last year, Confucius' career of "falling into three capitals" in the state of Lu succeeded but also failed.
Success refers to demolishing the city walls of "Fei", "Tai" and "Cheng", and also killing the rebel ministers such as Gongshan Buxuan who disobeyed the master's family.
In case of failure, Sanhuan not only repented midway, but also forced Lu Jun Song to remove Confucius from his official position. The next step was to force Confucius to leave Lu.
Confucius knew that he was about to lose power, so he stopped paying attention to government affairs and started planning to kill Shaozhengmao. In order to write a letter to Zigong, who was living in the Zhi family in Jin, he asked Zigong to ask Zhi family if he could take him in. The letter has not yet been sent.
Once it reaches Zigong, it will probably be delivered in the summer of next year.
What happened in the State of Lu not only had a great impact on the State of Lu, but also had an impact on the princes of the world.
Take the Zhi family as an example. Seeing the situation in Lu State progressing like that, they can't help but think of the actions of some retainers in their own family. They think that if they don't deal with it quickly, they will repeat the mistakes of the three Huan of Lu State!
Has there ever been a case in Jin where a master was rebelled against by his retainers? Yes.
However, the Jin State was not the Lu State, and there were very few cases of retainers rebelling against their masters. Many families joined forces to attack and destroy them again and again. The reputation of the family whose retainers rebelled absolutely plummeted.
It's not that the various families in the Jin Kingdom are so united, it's simply that they know better than to hang the traitor's ministers. What if their own retainers follow suit? So they must use thunderous means to attack them!
When Zhizong wanted to speak, a family member came to report that it was Dong Anyu, a retainer of the Zhao family, who wanted to see him.
Who is this Dong Anyu? It was he who suggested Zhao Yang build "Jinyang" and proposed various advantages in the Taiyuan Basin. Not only was he Zhao's first adviser, he was also personally responsible for supervising the construction of the new city of "Jinyang".
"Why did Dong Anyu return to Xintian from Jinyang?" Zhishuo murmured in a low voice.
How could Zhiyao, who had great ambitions, not take the initiative to get to know the characters of each family? Most of them had never seen them with their own eyes, and they had heard about who had what abilities.
Dong Anyu was quickly brought over. As soon as he appeared, he saluted and said, "The Zhi family is in danger!"
Ouch!?
Who are you trying to scare?
This is playing to get the upper hand!
Zhizong was obviously stunned, and when he wanted to speak, someone beat him to it.
"No, it's the Zhao family that is in danger!" Zhiyao said.
It is the Zhao family who is now notorious in the streets, and has also aroused the disgust of the neutral nobles in the country. If the reputation is not reversed quickly, the old story of Zhao Tong and Zhao Kuo may not happen again in Zhao Yang's generation.
What the hell? It’s just that Zhao Tong and Zhao Kuo repeatedly did wrong things and made some mistakes again and again, which led to the "difficulty in the palace" that led to the demise of the Zhao family.
Zhizong, who was frightened just now, simply shut up. He was really ashamed in his heart and thought: "I will just maintain my integrity. It is best for Shen's generation to strengthen Yao's authority, so that the old Zhi family can be saved!"
The situation did not go as planned and left Dong An stunned. There were many words prepared in advance, and it seemed that they should be changed.
Zhiyao did not give Dong Anyu any more time to think, and said: "Fan family has four divisions, Zhonghang family has one army, Handan Zhao has two divisions, and other families have joined forces to have one division, totaling two
There are two army divisions; Zhao's one army, Han's two divisions, and Wei's three divisions. Not much is left to respond."
The monarch redefined this incident, which made many families feel that they needed to take it easy and gathered their troops, but they did not indicate that they would side with the Zhao family.
So, the current comparison of military strength is that the Fan family, Zhonghang family and Handan Zhao have two more "divisions" of troops than the Zhao family, Han family and Wei family.
The combined strength of the Zhao, Han and Wei families is smaller than that of the Fan and Zhonghang families. Can you guess why the monarch wanted to plot against the Fan and Zhonghang families?
Because each chariot is equipped with 75 infantry, an "army" of the Jin State consists of 500 chariots and 37,500 soldiers.
Then, not counting the neutral parties, the combined total strength of the various families who have shown their flags to join the war has reached an astonishing 165,000 soldiers.
Judging from the current era, the total population of many countries, including men, women, old and young, may not be as large as 165,000 people. From this alone, we can see how powerful the Jin State is.
What is strange is that when the Jin State launched a national war, it always used fewer troops than when fighting a civil war. The most often used four "armies" in the era of the "Eight Ministers", usually against the Chu State.
, other countries do not need so many troops.
Dong An was stunned when Zhi Yao read the data for a while, and thought to himself: "It's not that I'm at a disadvantage, why should I come to Zhi's? It's just that... I can scare Zhi's at a very small price. Now
...Looks like he’s going to have to bleed heavily?”
