"For a long time, it is inevitable that the Chinese people will use Yao to hold the whip."
What Han Geng said is to follow the lead of the horse.
The "horse's head is looking forward" was created by Zhongxing Yangui, and it can be regarded as a part of the history of the Jin Dynasty.
Chinese people are the group that can pay taxes, including nobles.
They gained a lot from their trip to Zheng State. In addition to the trophies in terms of population and materials, several families with new armies also gained experience.
For the Wei and Han families, it was very meaningful to test the new army. The only drawback was that the Chu army was of average quality and could not put more pressure on the new army.
It may seem like you are getting an advantage and being good, but this is not the case.
The new army cannot encounter a powerful army of equal strength. Although it can be tested, it is not thorough.
If a strong army fights against weak chickens for a long time, a strong army will gradually turn into weak chickens. Similar reasoning has long been understood by all the old ministerial families in Jin Dynasty.
It is precisely because the Qing family, who can control the fate of the Jin Dynasty, is sober enough that they did not sink when the princes started to mess around.
Zhao Bolu knew what Han Geng was worried about and said, "Although Yao often does strange things, when has she ever harmed us?"
Han Geng must admit this. Based on their knowledge and observation, some of Zhi Yao's actions over the long time have really never taken the initiative to harm anyone.
Of course, it may be that they didn't notice it, or it's more likely that their vision wasn't long-term enough. It's not that Zhiyao didn't do some things that were harmful to them.
Han Geng stated a fact and said: "The Zhi family is unique and must be guarded against."
People don't want to hurt tigers, but tigers are harmful to people's hearts, right?
Being able to live in peace for a while does not mean that there is no possibility of conflict.
Besides, weakness itself is the original sin, and it is really stupid to place one's own safety on the mercy of the strong.
Zhao Bolu fell into silence.
You know some things that you should know, but if you don't have enough strength, it's basically useless.
"I know that I should be friendly with Yao at this time. However, I have to make some preparations." Han Geng said.
That is to say, the Han family and the Zhao family have been friendly for a long time, and now they need to stick together for warmth. Furthermore, Han Geng is afraid that Zhao Bolu is too honest, otherwise Han Geng should not have reminded Zhao Bolu of these things.
When it came to this matter, Zhao Bolu needed to express his opinion and said: "Wuchie and Ziqing also said the same thing. Bolu should encourage him."
Self-improvement is always the right thing to do.
However, Zhao Bolu didn't quite understand why Han Geng suddenly became so defensive about Zhi Yao, and words that shouldn't be said and things that shouldn't be said kept popping up from his mouth.
In fact, it was because Han Geng was frightened by the combat effectiveness displayed by the Wei family's new army, and it was related to some of the things Han Buxin said in a private meeting with Zhao family retainer Yang Hu.
What does the power of the Wei family have to do with the Zhi family? This should mention the possible conflicts between the Wei family and the Han family after the fiefdoms were exchanged between the Zhi family and the Wei family.
How should I put it? Without changing the fiefdom, the Han family would be sandwiched between the Wei family and the Zhi family, which seems to be more dangerous. But that is not the case. In fact, it would be safer if the three parties stand together.
And the one that moves the whole body.
Some clansmen and retainers of the Han family have repeatedly studied and shown that the Zhi family and the Wei family exchanged fiefdoms, possibly to allow the Wei family to target the Han family, while the Zhi family remained on the sidelines and became fishermen again.
Their research also found that most of the Zhi family's fiefdoms have been concentrated. It was not clear why the Zhi family did what they did before. Later, they saw that it has become safer and more convenient for the Zhi family to transport various materials, especially those that do not need to be transported through traffic.
His family's fiefdom can guarantee confidentiality, which further increases their inner insecurity.
There are some things that do not require any other reason. Just because the opponent is strong can make the weak fearful. It is just that they are too weak to resist. It is good to just lie down and lie down easily and let him do whatever he wants. If you have some strength, maybe
If you work hard, you can stand shoulder to shoulder with the strong. Who doesn't want to work hard?
Han Geng said: "I have some communication with Ju, and we will stop talking briefly."
At this moment, Zhao Bolu felt that Han was looking for death.
The Zhi family is so powerful but there is no sign of which family they are targeting. The Han family has made so many small moves and even dares to open and shut up to mention that the Zhi family is a great threat to various families. It doesn't matter if the Zhi family doesn't know.
If the Han family is aware of it, it will be impossible not to target the Han family.
On the other hand, Zhao Bolu finally understood why Han had such a strong sense of urgency. The reason was that Han tried to seek cooperation with Wei, but was treated coldly by Wei Ju.
"The more this is the case, the more important it is for the Han family to get along well with the Zhi family. Why..." Zhao Bolu was really puzzled and simply asked.
Han Geng was about to speak when he spotted Zhong Wu's vehicle approaching from the corner of his eye and signaled Zhao Bolu with his eyes not to say anything.
They had already entered the territory of the Jin Kingdom, and the route they took was still the same as the return route via the Zhou royal family.
Emperor Zhou continued to pretend to be deaf and mute and did not express any response to the victorious Jin army.
In fact, Emperor Zhou was so poor that he could not even support the palace guards, and rewards to the princes had been cut off for several years.
If the Zhou royal family wants to reward something, the procedure should be to first reward a certain prince, and then hint that the prince will reward a certain minister under his rule. It is definitely not the Zhou emperor directly rewarding the prince's ministers.
Zhiyao and Wei Ju were not among the army. They went to Shan Kingdom to visit Shan Gongyuan.
Last time, didn't Zhiyao ask Han Geng to convey Zhi's greetings to Emperor Zhou? Since the Jin army gained a lot from going south, it seemed useful to give some alms to Emperor Zhou to deepen the good impression of Emperor Zhou and his ministers on Zhi.
It's not big, it will definitely show its intended effect one day.
Zhiyao wanted to go to "Luoyi" to pay an audience with the Emperor of Zhou, but firstly, her relationship with the Zhou royal family was not that close, and secondly, she did not act as an envoy. It was not like Han Geng who could just go there if he wanted to pay a visit. Gu Yuan
If Zhiyao really goes to "Luoyi", he will be entertained by a certain official, but it is impossible for the Emperor Zhou to meet him.
This matter concerns the little face that the Zhou royal family has left. They have very little dignity that they can maintain. If they lose their last layer of face, how many of the children surnamed Ji will feel that they can no longer live?
In history, the Tian family relied on several generations of management, eliminated dissidents and bribed the nobles, and successfully replaced the Lu family named Jiang as the leader of Qi.
As long as there is a possibility of success and the goal she wants can be achieved, Zhiyao has enough patience to slowly build a good relationship with the Zhou royal family.
In this way, there is a high probability that it will not take as long as Tian's time?
Wei Ju, who went together, thought that Zhiyao's contact with the Zhou royal family was to restore the previous relationship, that is, to become a flag bearer, and he could not help but be more convinced that Zhiyao wanted to restore the hegemony of the Jin Kingdom.
This is the result of information gap, not that Wei Ju is a fool.
In fact, without the first precedent, who would have thought that one day the Emperor of Zhou would be able to grant titles to his subordinates because of repeated benefits?
Zhiyao and Wei Ju met with the army in "Su".
Wei Ju did not intend to go back to "Xintian" immediately and chose "Su" to say goodbye to his friends.
The army continued heading north.
One night Zhong Wu quietly found Zhi Yao, and the first thing he said when they met was: "Yao, Geng and Bolu have been meeting secretly again and again. Wu sent people to spy and learned that they were talking about the Zhi family."
Zhi Yao first showed a surprised expression, and then enthusiastically asked Zhong Wu to sit down.
With Zhiyao's personality, is it possible not to send people to keep an eye on certain people?
So, Zhiyao may not know exactly what certain people said, who has frequent contact with whom, etc., but she definitely knows.
There are some things that you should pretend not to know even if you know them.
After all, everything depends on the timing. If the timing is not right, you will hold back. When the timing comes, you will still look for trouble. Which high-ranking person who has achieved great things does not have such a way of life?
Zhiyao knew why Zhong Wu came here to make such a fuss.
This time going south broke the Zhong family's illusions and proved that the Zhong family was simply too weak compared to other high-ranking families.
In the Jin Kingdom, not every family that gained the title of minister was strong from the beginning. Many families first found a strong leg to embrace, and then slowly developed after receiving protection.
Zhong doesn’t have smart people who are innovative, so how can they find ready-made examples?
Then it was the Zhong family who wanted to hug the Zhi family's thick thigh and finally get the capital that could be used as investment certificate. After thinking about it, Zhong Wu wanted to sacrifice the Han family and the Zhao family.
Zhiyao entertained Zhong Wu well, but did not express how she would deal with the Han family and the Zhao family.
After Jin had families with high status, when did it become less common for them to plot against each other? A set of existing rules had already been formed, and a few words were not enough to make the various families with high status fight. The key was whether the interests were involved.
If he just started talking about something bad, wouldn't he become a brainless monster?
Of course, Zhiyao implicitly stated that she would protect the Zhong family, which immediately made Zhong Wu feel that this adventure was worth it.
"Hu, can you let Mr. Zhao know what Zhong Wu is talking about during this visit?" Zhi Yao said to Tai Hu after Zhong Wu left.
Does this mean that Zhong has been sold? Not entirely.
There are a lot of twists and turns in it, including Zhiyao's desire to have several high-ranking families be suspicious of each other, and to drive a wedge between the Zhao family and possible cooperation with the Jin Jun Wuyuan.
"The Han family should feel the urgency. They cannot integrate into the alliance between the Zhi family and the Wei family. The Zhao family, the Hu family, and the Zhong family are too weak. Even if they join forces, their overall strength is still weaker than the alliance between the Zhi family and the Wei family.
." Zhiyao thought.
It is not appropriate for the Zhi family to take any drastic action against the Han family at this time, otherwise the alliance between the Zhi family and the Wei family will most likely be broken.
In the same way, the Wei family actually did not want to take the initiative to do anything to the Han family, but was afraid that the Zhi family would suddenly betray her.
Zhiyao wanted to know who was giving advice to the Han family and took this risky approach to try to separate the alliance between the Zhi family and the Wei family.
It's obviously the Han family that keeps making moves, so why is it involved in the alliance between the Zhi family and the Wei family? This is the weird part of the conspiracy!
They returned to "New Field".
When the families who did not participate in the southward journey learned about the harvest, they suddenly became jealous.
Families who participated in the southward journey learned about it early through correspondence, and they rarely held banquets to celebrate.
Zhiyao paid a visit to Zhishen, and after explaining the process of going south, he added: "Zhishen died unjustly, and ordered his retainers to clasp his eyeballs and hang them on the east city gate."
Wu Zixu, who died unjustly, had only one intention when he gave the order: he wanted to see "with his own eyes" the day when the Yue army invaded the capital of Wu.
