Chapter 322: A Bear Child with a Flexible Moral Bottom Line
Chapter 322 A naughty kid with a flexible moral bottom line
Everyone agreed that Zhiyao would lead his army to fight the Chu army first.
They indeed paid more attention to the Chu army and believed that as long as they eliminated the Chu army first, it would be easier for the other coalition forces to eliminate them.
In fact, this is also the case. Once the Chu army joins the rest of the coalition forces, the political level will rise, which will have a great effect on boosting the morale of the coalition forces.
Let’s take an example. They were beaten to the ground by the Jin family. Many people will face the liquidation of the Jin family in the next moment. Suddenly daddy agrees to participate in the war. Let’s not mention how many troops daddy will come. Anyway, daddy will be able to come immediately.
The recognized stick was resurrected on the spot with full health, and he had the courage to fight bloody battles again.
In the eyes of various vassal states and foreign forces, Jin, Chu and Wu are all "daddy" level existences.
If the alliance lacks a "daddy", it can only be regarded as a play between children. With a "daddy" added to the game, the style will immediately change.
Zhiyao took the initiative to take over the task of dealing with the Chu army. In fact, the Han family, the Wei family, the Hu family and the Zhong family all felt that the Zhi family was very responsible. Zhong family, who got the task and went south together, felt that she was being looked down upon, and felt even more embarrassed.
There is light above.
Everyone knows that Mr. Zhong is just an extra, and it is precisely because of this that it fully shows that Mr. Zhi wants to win over Mr. Zhong.
Precisely because of that, the Han family, the Wei family and the Hu family were more convinced that Zhiyao's statement that he wanted to restore the Jin Kingdom's hegemony was not empty talk. Otherwise, bringing in the Zhong family, who was just like adding a head, wouldn't be of much help, and it might even be possible.
Why is Zhiyao still willing to take Zhong with her when she is overwhelmed by her fighting power?
The Zhong family wants to change from a public clan to a Qing clan, but they are still regarded as a public clan.
Although the ministerial families and other nobles of the Jin Kingdom have been weakening the public clan, the terrible thing is that the public clan has been weakened too hard. It cannot be reduced to the point where it is not even qualified to "exist". If it really reaches that level, it is completely forced.
With the Qing Dynasty, the family has to divide the property, but it is still impossible not to divide the property.
If the Jin State's wealth is not divided, repeated civil wars will become inevitable. When only one family with the title of minister is left, it will be their turn to steal the country.
No one has ever talked about the truth, except that the Que family, the Luan family and the Han family have successively transformed from the public clan to the Qing clan. Looking at the Jin Dynasty with the weakening of the power of the public clan, the historical trajectory is not the same.
It rained continuously for more than half a month.
The water level of the Wei River rose, and the water flow became turbulent. The six floating bridges were either submerged in the water or washed away.
"The Chu people's bridge-building technology is not only good, it should be said to be very good!" Zhiyao was on the shore of the Weishui River.
It rained for half a month, and only two of the six pontoon bridges on the upstream side were washed away. A lot of debris was piled on the third one. At first glance, it looked like a continent was suddenly formed on the river surface.
General.
Of course it's not a continent. In fact, there are too many drifting objects gathered together. They are blocked and cannot continue to flow down the river. They increase in number and squeeze, completely covering the water surface.
A strange sound suddenly came out.
It can be seen with the naked eye that the third pontoon bridge finally could not withstand the pressure. It was collapsed and hit the fourth pontoon bridge with debris. After a slight pause, it rushed to the fifth pontoon bridge, and the debris that could float was hit by the sixth pontoon bridge.
stop.
"It is no longer possible to cross the river here. Send an order to the entire army to get ready. When I give the order, we will break camp and head east." Zhiyao ordered.
During this more than half a month, there was no fighting between the Han family and the Qin army in "Gaoling".
Of course, we can fight in rainy weather, and it is certain that we will pay more casualties. Moreover, being exposed to the rain will make many soldiers who have sweated on the battlefield and survived become infected with wind and cold.
It is a trivial matter for modern people to catch a cold. They can recover by taking some medicine. If their health is good, they can even survive it by relying on their own resistance.
The current era is different. People who are in excellent health will not get sick. If they get sick, don't even think about taking medicine.
Medicine is currently a luxury item among luxuries, so much so that we don’t even know how to get the medicine to treat colds. Once we catch colds, we will go through hell.
If it is a contagious wind-cold, needless to say, the army going on the expedition will definitely not recover. If the contagious wind-cold is carried to other cities, the places where the soldiers return may suffer together.
Therefore, in rainy weather, there will be no war unless necessary. Both sides will take shelter from the rain and take care of each other's health.
There is such a ruthless man, he will not let his troops have time to calm down even if it is raining, and orders to attack the Wei family's camp wherever it is, or to plunder one of the Han family's villages.
The ruthless man was of course Zhao Guanjie. His approach was to ask Bai Zhai and Lou Fan to go far away to carry out military orders, while the Zhao family went out for a walk to find a place to take shelter from the rain or quickly returned to the camp to warm up by the fire.
Because Zhao Wuxie even attacked the Han family's village, Bai Zhai and Lou Fan robbed a lot of things. Miraculously, they began to worship Zhao Wuxie, and they were more willing to obey Zhao Wuxie's command.
About a month and a half later.
In the "Dali" territory of the Jin State, cavalrymen under the banner of Zhishi were chasing a group of Baidi people or Loufan people like chasing dogs and chickens.
These Zhishi cavalry were of course the group that Zhiyao led on the Western Expedition. The reason why they appeared in "Dali" was that Zhiyao withdrew from the south bank of the Weishui River to the Jin State, and then crossed the river from somewhere in the "Pengxishi" to the Weishui River.
North Shore.
The main force led by Zhiyao was resting near "Xinchu", while the cavalry was sent out to clean up large and small groups of Bai Zhai people or Lou Fanren.
Regarding the sudden appearance of Zhi Yao and his army, Han Kang of the Han family turned pale with fright. He learned that the Zhi family and the Zhong family defeated the Chu army first and were unable to cross the Wei River to the west due to the flood season before turning back. He did not know that "
The battle situation on the "Gaoling" side confirmed that it was not a retreat after defeat, which immediately made Han Kang calm down again.
This Han Kang is Han Geng's uncle, he is about fifty years old.
Mr. Han has been having a hard time lately!
They assembled a legion for the western expedition. Basically all the "scholars" and "disciples" in the cities and villages close to the Qin State went to pay tribute. There were only a few "scholars" and "disciples" left behind. They were attacked by the Zhao family.
, Bai Zhai, Lou Fan's scattered attacks, although the city-level city is safe and secure, the village-level "bang" suffered heavy losses.
Let’s put it this way! After this time, in the Han family’s fiefdom close to the Qin State, more than a hundred villages were lost and killed, and the number of people taken away would not be less than 30,000. The rest of the material losses and farmland were damaged.
It will take the Han family at least two years to make up for it.
The Han family has a legion of troops in "Gaoling". It rained for half a month a few days ago. If there is a crisis, it is impossible to face the danger of the entire army being destroyed immediately, right?
Therefore, Han Kangming knew that the situation at Han Geng's side was unknown, and that it was very possible that Zhi Yao could save a life by leading his army there, so he still begged Zhi Yao to help drive away the enemy troops raging in the Han family's fiefdom.
Zhiyao wanted to solve the crisis at the back first, and then needed to catch Zhao Wuji, so she simply agreed to Han Kang's request. This would also make the Han family owe a favor, so she could kill three birds with one stone.
.
The Zhao family, Bai Zhai and Lou Fan were really happy to bully the Han family. The cavalry against the Zhi family was immediately overwhelmed. More than 3,000 people were wiped out in a short period of seven or eight days. The rest of the team also retreated urgently after receiving the news.
Those who have received the news will probably find it difficult to escape.
Because of the relationship with Han Kang, Zhiyao was immediately given an additional "division" of troops, including two "brigades" from the Han family, and the other three "brigades" from the Wei family, which were mobilized urgently to support the fiefdom that was suffering.
The Han clan attacked.
In fact, speaking of it, the Wei family was very pleased. Why? Because as long as the Jin State used troops to the west, its fiefdoms would be invaded every time. But this time, the Wei family was not unlucky and became the Han family.
The Wei family was willing to urgently recruit troops to support the Han family, because they certainly did not want the Han family here to completely lose their ability to resist, causing the battlefield to shift to the Wei family's fiefdom.
"Zhao Wushe is to the west of the Northern Expedition?" Zhiyao was a little surprised when he heard the news.
Zhongxing Qi said with a smile: "The eldest son is mighty."
The situation is that after Zhao Wushe learned that Zhiyao suddenly appeared in "Dali", he immediately turned north without thinking, looking like a frightened cat, and all the dried fish he finally collected were gone.
No matter, after blowing up his hair, he immediately ran away.
Why does Zhongxing Qi appear here? The main reason is that the "Zhi" land is very close to here. The Jin army who escorted the Chu army prisoners of war back in advance took the Chu army to the "Zhi" place for resettlement. Zhongxing Qi is currently in "Zhi" land.
Zhi" city served as a stay-at-home guard. When he learned that Zhiyao was leading his army to rest in "Dali", he came with the army to pay a visit.
Zhiyao said to Zhongxing Qi: "This time, Qi will accompany me on the western expedition."
That's what Zhongxing Qi meant. He didn't ask but Zhiyao took the initiative, not to mention how happy he was.
What Zhiyao was thinking was: "The moves against Qi are getting bigger and bigger, which is exactly the critical moment for Zhongxing Yin to sacrifice his life. If Zhongxing Qi can make some noise during the Western Expedition, I think Zhongxing Yin will work harder."
?”
It took them about twenty days to eliminate most of the enemy forces in the Han family's fiefdom. Zhiyao did not even think about taking Han's two "brigades" and Wei's three "brigades" to the Western Expedition.
, naturally handed over the remaining enemy troops to Han Kang, and led his troops to continue the unfinished Western Expedition.
The armies of the Zhi family and the Zhong family suddenly appeared in the western border of the Jin State, and suddenly scared off Zhao Wushe's enemy army. The crisis in the retreat of the Jin State's western expedition army was relieved. The bad thing was that Zhao Wushe was too courageous.
It's so small that Zhiyao doesn't have a chance to catch it and eat it.
Next, the scouts sent out by Zhiyao reported back that Zhao Wushe had led his army across Luoshui and was heading towards "Gaoling".
Zhiyao thought to herself: "Is this naughty kid determined to bury Bai Zhai and Lou Fanren?"
Logically speaking, if Zhao Wuxie did not fight the Jin army near "Dali", he would just have robbed a lot of property and could not just throw it away again.
Zhao Wuji first arranged the looted people and materials, and then led his army towards "Gaoling". The number of Zhao's troops in the army decreased significantly, but the number of Bai Zhai increased by about 10,000.
Reminiscent of the fact that the Zhao family wanted to steal Daiguo, thinking from a geopolitical perspective, what did Zhao Guanjie, who had no moral bottom line, want to do? Does it take a lot of dead brain cells to think about it?
