Chapter 30: There are a lot of coincidences

If you don’t have enough strength, you can play “all living beings are drunk and I am alone awake”!

Being an alien is a very dangerous thing, and this is true at all times and in all countries.

Zhiyao, who had made mistakes in the history of the Jin Dynasty, felt that it was Shi Yang's fault that the situation evolved like this.

When Shi Yang was serving as the "Yuan Rong" of the Jin Kingdom, he focused on one thing, to avenge the many injustices the Wei family had done to the Fan family when Wei Shu served as the "Yuan Rong".

What is the injustice? In fact, it is the various obstacles Wei Shu has set up in the process of making huge profits against the Fan family.

It's actually hard to say whether Wei Shu's approach was right or not.

No one in the Jin Dynasty's high-ranking family is greedy. The difference lies in whether the food looks good or not.

Shi Yang's appearance as the head of the Fan family was very ugly, especially when he faced many small and medium-sized nobles regardless of his appearance. Is Wei Shu suitable as a "Yuan Rong"?

Because the Fan family could not get along with the Wei family, the Wei family moved closer to the alliance with the Zhao family and the Han family, and at the same time relaxed its suppression of the monarch and the princes.

So, can we say that today's Fan family is being plotted by the monarch, and it is basically the disaster left by Shi Yang to Fan family?

"Our four 'divisions' cannot fight the Fan family's 'army' alone. We need backup." Zhizong must have the qualities he should have, such as the ability to command troops.

Nowadays, nobles generally master a variety of skills. They must know how to manage, and then combine them with military skills. It would be better if they can understand other skills.

In fact, no matter it is the late Spring and Autumn Period or the Warring States Period, nobles who cannot lead troops are not real nobles at all. This is also a rigid requirement in a world of great strife, and the difference lies in the level of ability.

The conflict is not with Zhishi, Zhizhuo was forced to choose to join the war, and she was stupid enough to fight against Fan alone.

On that day, Zhongxing Qi came over and tried to find the Zhi family to side with the Fan family and the Zhongxing family, but to no avail. Later, he instead persuaded Zhi Sui to give way to attack the "Zhao" city.

After all, times have changed. In order to buy time, Zhizhu said that it would take a few days to think about it. In an era where "etiquette" was still important, even if you use deception to achieve any goal, you will inevitably be scorned by the world.

Stupid or Shiji was stupid, not only did he agree to give Zhizhu time to think about it, but Fan's private army actually stayed where they were and didn't move.

Some people may wonder why the Zhongxing family and the Fan family are so persistent in attacking the "Zhao" city. If they understand that once the "Zhao" city can be captured, they may force the Zhao family to surrender. You can understand why.

After Zhishuo was willing to carry out the king's order, the authority belonging to the "marshal" once again fell into Zhishuang's hands.

Zhiyao clearly told Zhisong that the monarch was frightened when he saw Zhao Yang becoming more and more arrogant and domineering, so he chose to adjust the authority of the "marshal" again.

This is actually a bit funny, that is, Zhixuan's weak character actually gave the king a sense of security.

There are many private armies of various families who are rushing to the "Yin" land. Among them, the Jie family is the most powerful, followed by the Qi family of the public family. The other families can only be said to be average in terms of strength.

There are quite a few families in the Jin Kingdom that belong to the public clan. In the past, there was the Yangyu clan who could take advantage of them. Later, the Yangyu clan committed suicide, and the strength of the remaining Qi clan can still be seen.

At present, the Jin State has some strength, and it needs to be able to gather at least two "brigades" of troops. Their strength is only for small and medium-sized families. Any family in the Qing Dynasty can recruit an "army" of private soldiers.

Therefore, in the distinction of aristocrats, families with high positions are in one class, and other families are in another class.

Do you think you can have less than three thousand soldiers? That’s a lot. Many small vassal states cannot even raise two thousand troops!

"Every family has two 'divisions' of soldiers. If we join forces with my family, our ancestors will have one 'army' and one 'division' under their command, but..." Zhiyao is less optimistic about the private armies of public clans and small and medium-sized nobles.

Zhizhuo said: "The two 'divisions' of the Wei family are also halfway there."

There were many people in the military tent, including Zhishen, Zhixuwu and Fuguo.

Zhizhuo was communicating with Zhiyao, but what was a little strange was that Zhishen, as the heir, looked like he was in a world.

Before Zhiyao didn't show his dazzling performance, the retainers and clan members of Lao Zhi's family were actually quite desperate. They thought that with two weak generations of family heads, Zhizhuo and Zhishen, they believed that the family was just taking jujube pills.

They watched Zhiyao communicating with Zhishuo, speaking in a meaningful way and giving reliable opinions. They were relieved to see that Zhishen was completely out of shape.

What the hell? As the heir, Jishen has a very weak character. With a son who seems to have a strong character, the possibility of conflict between father and son will be infinitely reduced.

The most important point is that Zhishen Fan, who has a weak personality, has some self-awareness. When making some decisions, he should always listen to the opinions of Zhi Yao, who looks very strong and capable, right?

This kind of father and son match up well, really!

Just now Zhiyao suggested that the army can cross the Fen River to the west bank. Once Shijishe learns that he is being tricked, and Fan's army comes to attack, they may be able to attack halfway across the river. If they cannot cross the Fen River and attack at the worst possible outcome, they will have to turn back

Just "Kundu".

In addition, what Zhiyao did not say is that the Zhi family has a very normal relationship with the Wei family, and there is no obligation to bleed for the Wei family at all.

No one mentioned that leaving the "Yin" land would endanger the Wei family's fiefdom. They were members of the Lao Zhi family and not the Old Wei family, so they had no responsibility or obligation to protect the "Yin" land.

"What does Shen think?" Zhisong asked.

Zhishen was listening and replied: "Sir Shen Cong."

This middle-aged man listened to his father when his father was alive, and he will probably listen to his son in the future. If there is no big problem in the family, he can live a very comfortable life.

As the head of a family, you don't have to worry about the rise and fall of the family. Sincerity is the greatest happiness.

The Zhi family's army left, leaving Bi You and other people of the Wei family in disarray in the wind.

The people of the Old Wei family thought that the Zhi family's army was in the "yin" place, which could stop the Fan family and reduce the damage to the family. Unexpectedly, the Zhi family said they wanted to leave, but actually left without giving a chance to stay.

It just so happened that after Zhishi's army left the "Yin" land, Shijishe waited left and right but did not wait for Zhishuo's reply. He realized that he had been tricked and ordered to march forward. It happened that Zhishi had just finished crossing the river.

Fan's private army arrived.

"Zheng Qing has a private appointment with Xia Junzuo?" Bi You stood on the city wall and looked at the mighty Fan family's army. It was really hard not to think so.

What's more coincidental is that in the afternoon, Wei Chi brought two "divisions" to "Yin" and saw the city of "Yin" being attacked by the Fan family from a distance.

"Where is Zhengqing?" The news Wei Chi had received before was that the Zhi family's army was in the "Yin" land, but they didn't see it when they arrived.

His own city was being attacked. Wei Chi knew that there were only less than 2,000 defenders in "Yin" city and that Zhishi's army could no longer be seen. Some bad thoughts arose, so he forced himself to calm down and quickly led his army there.

Rescue "Yin" City.

Before Lao Zhi's army arrived at "Lu", they heard the news that Fan was attacking the city of "Yin", and even knew that Wei Chi had arrived in time with two "divisions".

"There are a lot of misunderstandings here." The first thing Zhizong worried about was whether Wei Chi would think that Zhishi had a conspiracy.

Zhiyao couldn't help but think: "Please, you are the right minister. Now it is the Wei family who is asking for help, not that we owe it to the Wei family. What are you feeling guilty about?"

The Zhi family's private army has stopped from its marching posture.

Zhiyao, who tried hard to suppress some strange thoughts, suggested: "Lord, our army can cross the Fen River again and attack Fan's army's retreat."

"That's great, that's great, this is an excellent strategy!" Zhi Shuang immediately praised it.

The appearance of her grandfather made Zhiyao couldn't help but have some strange thoughts in her heart: "Am I too smart, or is the current head and heir of the old Zhi family too mediocre?"

According to historical records, Zhishuo and Zhishen are indeed very mediocre people, while Zhiyao, the ninth generation head of the Zhi family, is too smart.

Of course, this "Zhiyao" has a modern soul and is not the original "Zhiyao".
