There, dust and smoke filled the sky, and flags could be vaguely seen fluttering everywhere.
The earth trembled with the movement of Zhishi's army.
In fact, the soldiers started to move according to the beating of the war drums, and then a rhythm was formed. Even if they could not hear the sound of the war drums, they would still move according to the rhythm formed.
Those who watched, as long as they were the head of the family, were all in a heavy mood. For no other reason than because the military power displayed by Zhishi this time was too terrifying to pull out four legions? If you don't pay attention to quality,
, in fact, the Wei family and the Han family can also do it, it is not a terrible thing.
It seems that the only family that can pull out four legions and look decent in military appearance is the Zhi family at the moment?
You said not long ago, right? Zhao Yang used three "divisions" to attack Zhongshan Kingdom. It's not that Zhao couldn't make up three "divisions" composed of "shi", "disciple" and "Xian". They were
Making a new attempt.
Zhao Yang used his own death to explain that the result of Zhao's attempt was not wonderful.
What is more worth thinking about is that even if Zhao Yang was on the verge of death, the Zhao family still did not use the troops from "Jinyang."
The Zhao family attaches great importance to "Jinyang" beyond imagination, investing far more resources than other cities, and moving more than 100,000 people despite the dangerous roads. In the next ten years, the business will surely be solid, right?
Now that something like this has happened, it seems to have proved Zhao Yang's wisdom. Zhao family at least has a way out when facing difficulties.
Zhi's army stopped about three miles away from the "Xintian" city wall.
What everyone saw was that the army stopped, and those who knew it immediately felt a twitch in their hearts...
The fact that such a huge army can be stopped in a short period of time means that military orders are smooth and the efficiency of officers at all levels in executing orders is not a problem.
Just now, it only took dozens of breaths for Zhishi's army to stop, which is enough to explain a lot.
"My family has assembled three legions, but only one corps and three divisions can maintain a smooth chain of command. When did the Zhi family have so many officers that they can establish a chain of command for the four legions?" Wei Chi said calmly, thinking in his heart
Not very wonderful.
In the past few years, the Jin State has experienced civil war and several wars with the princes. The original military resources of all families have been reduced to a greater or lesser extent. If it is to be said that it is tragic, it is of course the Zhao family who has repeatedly fought with the Fan family.
.
The Wei family and the Zhi family did not stay still. They did not miss a single battle that they were supposed to participate in, and the losses must have occurred.
The Han family participated in the least wars, but suffered heavy losses in the early stages.
The Fox family returned to the country when the civil war entered the final stage. They participated in two campaigns, but both of them were at the level of armed marches.
Among the old Qing family, the Han family basically hides and hides whenever possible, while the Wei family and the Zhi family never flinch.
So here comes the question. The Wei family and the Zhi family are not as shameless as the Han family. They participate in all the battles that should be fought. Why does the Zhi family become stronger as they fight, while the Wei family falls into a period of decline like other families?
Wei Chi couldn't figure it out and felt very confused. He suspected that the Zhi family had annexed the Zhongxing family to complete the chain of command at all levels. He didn't know that Zhi Yao had already been training officers at all levels.
"This time Zhishi is recruiting four armies. With such a military appearance, it is enough to destroy the family and the country." Han Buxin said.
Yes, that's 150,000 soldiers. The civil war may not be completed in a short time. We should be able to win, but everyone will definitely resist desperately. If they win, the Zhishi will also be severely damaged. Zhishi's four legions
Facing the other vassal states, only the Zhi family
The country's logistics can keep up, and the only country that can withstand it is probably Chu State. Chu State has a vast territory and a huge population. If it withstands the first wave and then enters a protracted war, losing will not destroy the country, but winning will
It would be a miserable victory, but a draw would be a lose-lose situation for both sides.
Wei Chi was a little confused and said, "Why is Zhi doing this?"
After saying that, he had a new idea and thought: "It must be to frighten all the families to frighten the princes, especially the Zhao family."
Zhi's reputation is guaranteed, and there has been no example of betrayal of an ally in the long history. Although Zhi's wave of recruiting troops has shocked people, Wei is actually not too frightened.
After thinking about it, Wei Xi realized that he should change the tone of the relationship between the Wei family and Zhi family, and continue to let Zhi family be the big brother in the alliance. At the same time, Zhi family's wave also gave Wei Xi a warning, either in the army.
The quality of the army should be improved, otherwise more soldiers should be trained quickly to avoid being unable to protect themselves if something happens later.
Other families also had the same idea, investing more manpower and material resources to expand the size of the army, and following the example of the Zhi family in building a new army.
It's just right? They don't know how much time they have left to catch up.
The Zhishi army stopped. It seemed that they had received some order. After disbanding on the spot, they began to set up the camp.
The soldiers were designated not to cut down trees and collect materials. They were restricted to move within a certain range, and the accompanying auxiliary soldiers went to nearby woods according to orders.
Every time a large army gathers here in "Xintian", the surrounding woods will be unlucky.
This time the Guangzhi family brought four legions. The other families had already assembled many armies, but they might recruit four more legions after seeing the Zhi family.
Therefore, it is conceivable that after the army gathers in "Xintian" this time, the nearby woods will definitely become bald one after another.
Later, Wei Chi decided to leave the city with only a few guards.
Wei Ju, who was about to go with him, yelled at him to go home. During this period, he ran into Han Buxin and Hu Jie, so they simply joined forces.
These people did not ask their heirs to follow them, and they did not bring many guards. They made it clear that they were still worried about what Zhishi might do, and they took due precautions.
Judging from their mentality, it is enough to explain what the internal situation of the Jin Dynasty is like. Even if they don't think what the Zhi family will do, they still have the mentality of not being afraid of ten thousand, but just in case.
Zhishen learned that several family heads were coming and went out to greet them personally.
"Are my men strong?" Zhishen looked more confident than before.
Wei Chi was the first to speak out and said with a smile: "You are so majestic."
"Very mighty." Han Buxin added.
The rest of Hu Jie just looked pleased with him.
It is a very common mentality to want to show off if you are awesome.
In the past, Zhishen knew that his family was a bit strong, but he really didn't have a clear idea. After the gathering of the four legions this time, he realized how powerful the Zhishen family was.
Of course, Zhishen knows why Zhishi is what he is today, and the credit lies with Zhisong and Zhiyao.
Because of Zhizong's series of operations, the Zhi family annexed the Zhonghang family, and the two families came from the same family. The difficulty of the Zhi family annexing the Zhonghang family was far lower than imagined, and the Zhonghang family would not have a big impact.
Resistance psychology can complete the running-in in the shortest time.
Zhiyao is doing some things to speed up the integration process, make up for many aspects, and strengthen the sense of belonging of the annexed Zhongxing family to the Zhi family.
"There is still no news from the Zhao family, what can I do?" Wei Chi took the initiative to bring up this topic.
Zhishen looked cheerful and said, "If the Zhao family secludes itself from other families, then that's fine."
What happened was not something that the Zhao family could avoid by pretending to be an ostrich. It would be best if they were willing to take the initiative to hand over the fiefdom that they could not hold. They were unwilling to have everyone grab it openly later. If everyone really broke up with each other, the Zhao family might just have to pinch it.
If you don't let go of "Jinyang", you won't be able to keep the other fiefdoms.
If the Zhao family were willing to take the initiative to make concessions, everyone would not be so ugly. In addition to "Jinyang", there would be some space left for the Zhao family.
Han Buxin said reluctantly: "The Zhao family still has no owner."
The Zhao family is now in a state where there is no head of the family, so no one can really make a decision.
Perhaps, Zhao did not confirm the ownership of the head of the family just because he wanted to waste time? This can be regarded as an act of taking advantage of the rules.
Wei Chi said to Han Buxin: "If you don't believe in the Zhao family, it's the end of your kindness and righteousness. Why should you make a mistake?"
Everyone knows the friendship between the Han family and the Zhao family. What kind of friendship is required for the Han family to be willing to shoulder the thunder together with the Zhao family. Even when they walked into the grave together, Han Buxin became silent.
In fact, Han Buxin knew very well why Wei Chi suddenly became tough. What else could it be? It was just the courage given by Zhishi.
Let's put it this way, the Wei family themselves assembled three legions, and their ally Zhishi pulled out four legions, w; if the two families could cooperate passionately,
It is far more powerful than the previous alliance between the Zhao, Wei and Han families, and it will not be too difficult to kill the Han, Zhao and Hu families.
To put it bluntly, the internal power of the Jin State has become unbalanced. What troubles the Zhi family and the Wei family is themselves, not anyone from the outside.
During this period, the monarch's lover came to inform him that the monarch wanted to inspect Zhi's army.
Zhi's army has just been disbanded. It's not that they can't regroup, but it's too disturbing.
Zhishen thought of Zhiyao's instructions and replied to the monarch's lover, saying that the review was okay and that he would review it another day.
What did Jin Junwu want to do? He just tested Zhishi's attitude towards him. The test result was good or bad. Zhishi was not too arrogant and domineering, and at the same time he was not obedient to the monarch's authority.
It happened that all the "Qings" except Zhao Huo were there, so Zhishen proposed to discuss the next regulations.
After some deliberation, the charter came out that the Zhi, Wei, Han and Hu clans would each dispatch three "divisions" of troops, and then recruit feudal lords and small and medium-sized nobles to supplement them, to form three "armies".
The quantity was used as a national war force to conquer the Zhongshan Kingdom.
When discussing the troops to be dispatched, no one was stupid enough to ask why each family had assembled so many troops, and why only a part of them was dispatched for the Northern Expedition.
Everyone has a tacit understanding that national war is one thing, but private war is another situation. The remaining troops are either used to protect the territory, or they can be used to defend against the other party or to deal with the Zhao family.
After deciding how many troops to dispatch to the northern expedition, the next thing to do is who will take over as "Yuanrong" and how to determine the order of other ministers.
