Chapter 323: Arrange a position as the king's precursor
The Zhao family is now based in Dai State. They definitely hope that the surrounding forces will be weakened in strength. It is undoubtedly a very correct approach to seize the opportunity to use the Jin army to eliminate some.
At the same time, Zhao Wuji needed to make a break with the Jin State. During this period, he could also kidnap some Jin people from the Jin State, which would increase the proportion of Jin people under his rule and would undoubtedly help future rule.
Some people don't need anyone to teach them principles at all. They are gifted and can do those things just by relying on intuition. Not to mention that the Zhou royal family enfeoffed so many princes. How to develop the enfeoffed country? Nobles must learn history.
How can I not understand the relevant routines?
For some people, history books are just a fragment of the past, while others can learn from them. Although they may not be able to do well, they can provide a direction of thinking when they encounter similar things, and then they can come up with something that suits their needs.
Countermeasures.
"Looking at it this way, I really can't go all out to kill Zhao Guanji right now, or even weaken him too much?" Zhiyao believes that his footsteps will not stop south of Xiawu Mountain, or even take down Dai Kingdom.
The end of the northward expansion.
Today's nomadic groups are very weak and can easily expand northward without spending the entire country's efforts. The difficulty lies in how to develop the territory after occupying it, or whether you have the courage to develop it.
Zhiyao had long known that they were also nomadic tribes, so why were those nomadic tribes so defeated now?
Actually there is no other reason.
Those nomads lost to a vassal state not only because of the gap in weapons and equipment, but mainly because they were obviously noobs and chose to go head-on. They did not understand the tactics of using the advantage of four legs to bring down two legs; they did not understand how to defeat them.
Just run away, hide once you run away, and then use some tricks to attack the ethnic groups who settled in a certain place.
The Zhi family had already conducted experiments and led the Wei people to attack the nomadic people. The Wei people were still the same Wei people. The Wei army was beaten to a pulp when facing the Jin army, but they achieved an elite record against the nomadic people.
In the same army, why did the Guards become an elite when facing the nomads? The Zhi family did not give the Guards particularly good military equipment. In fact, the Guards were organized and disciplined, and the nomads were a group of companies with the basic establishment
None of them, and passing orders is a ridiculously primitive mob.
In the same way, the Jin army's discipline was better than that of other countries, it could enforce orders and prohibitions, and it could teach the princes' armies how to behave on various battlefields.
Human beings are nothing more than a torso with a head and four limbs. The difference between the army and the army is nothing more than the quality of training. With the same quality, there is a gap in military equipment. If there is anything else
It’s the fighting spirit brought about by ideological awareness.
The Zhao family became the losers in the internal fighting of the Jin State. Once they entered Dai State, Loufan, Bai Zhai, or other chaotic ethnic groups, the sick cats would immediately turn into tigers.
"Let that naughty kid go through some trouble first. Unless I am trapped in the battlefield of the Central Plains for ten or twenty years, or even for the rest of my life, otherwise the naughty kid will be destined to be the pioneer of the king."
"Although Zhao Tuo has been the king of Nanyue for so long, in the end, didn't all his efforts turn into civilizing the ethnic groups in the southwest for the Western Han Dynasty, so that those places could be integrated quickly after they were annexed by the Western Han Dynasty?"
"The naughty kid will definitely civilize those ethnic groups, which will save me a lot of time. If he wants to make a comeback, he can't adopt a soft policy. He can only resort to iron-blooded methods and strive to engage in militarism in a short period of time. One day I will use it again
When soldiers occupy territory, it seems appropriate to go there as a liberator."
Zhiyao had arranged Zhao Wuhe's affairs well in his mind, and even if Zhao Wuhe didn't do that, there were ways to force Zhao Wuhe to follow the planned path.
By the way, who is the villain?
In fact, Wang Tu's hegemony cannot be judged simply from pros and cons. Other aspects are not so easy to say. There are those who have opened up territories and expanded their territory. It cannot be completely without positive significance, but the current generation may not necessarily live a better life.
Nearly two months later, Zhiyao came to the vicinity of "Gaoling" again.
The news about Zhiyao's arrival with another army had already been sent to Han Geng.
"The commander of the army obeyed the order of the general, and now he is engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy."
"The enemy army is flanked by the Junzuo Division on three sides, the Qin army in the west, the Zhao family in the north, and Bai Zhai and Lou Fan in the east."
"I think the Zhao family has few soldiers, and they have no intention of establishing a stronghold. This matter is very strange."
What else could be going on?
From Zhiyao's point of view, the naughty boy is very good at taking charge of the family. He clearly understands that without the Zhi family and the Zhong family returning to the battlefield, the Han family alone is enough for Bai Zhai and Lou Fan to drink a pot. Zhao Wuxie wants to run away at any time.
idea.
Therefore, the Chu army did not arrive on the battlefield as scheduled. The coalition forces participating in the battle at "Gaoling" became the Qin army carrying the flag, and the others were just waving the flag and shouting.
Can the Qin army carry the flag?
If it was during the time of Duke Mu of Qin, the Qin army would really be qualified to carry the flag.
This is no longer the era of Qin Mugong. The Qin State has definitely become stronger over the past many years. However, compared to the Jin State, the gap between the two sides has widened due to the existence of the variable Zhiyao.
Zhiyao read the relevant battle reports.
After receiving the order, the Han family took the initiative to increase the scale of the war with the Qin army, and at the same time allowed the Zhao family, Bai Zhai and Lou Fan to some extent.
It wasn't that Han Geng had no brains to follow Zhi Yao's instructions. He was surrounded by three sides for nearly half a month. It can be seen that the Zhao family, Bai Zhai and Lou Fan who were following Zhao Wushe's instructions were working as foreigners.
Another point, although Han Geng did not understand many of Zhi Yao's operations, he still understood that once the Zhi family and Zhong family's troops led by Zhi Yao appeared, the Zhao family and other three coalition forces would move north.
What's the point? It's just that the Zhi family is not the Zhao family. Bai Zhai and Lou Fan can compete with each other if they cooperate sincerely. Bai Zhai and Lou Fan among them were driven away in the Jin Dynasty before. It is impossible for them to become invincible in another place.
Right? With the repeated defeats before, Bai Zhai and Lou Fan should be even more frightened when facing Zhishi.
Zhiyao's army was about forty miles away from "Gaoling". Based on usual experience, the enemy's scouts would not spread out so far.
They will move northwest, and their plan is to come to the north of "Gaoling". Zhiyao will leave some troops behind and lead the main force straight south.
The reason why Zhiyao did not enter the battlefield directly from the east is simple.
Currently, the Hu clan's headquarters is located northwest of "Gaoling". Hu You also has a cavalry belonging to the Zhi clan under his command.
Once Zhiyao leads his army to the "Gaoling" battlefield, it means that the decisive battle between the Jin army and the coalition forces will come.
Since Zhiyao will immediately launch a decisive battle when he arrives, the more troops with an effective chain of command, the better. The Zhi family's cavalry acts as the sharp edge. The Hu family's cavalry equipped with stirrups and saddles will not be able to even fight, right?
?
Three days later, it was another night with plenty of moonlight.
Zhiyao stood on a low slope on horseback, looking at the bonfires everywhere in front of her.
Behind the slope, there were densely packed cavalry. They stood on the ground holding reins in their hands, waiting for the order to mount their horses.
Behind the cavalry were more chariots and infantry. They were also waiting for instructions from the man on the slope.
Night attack, Zhiyao really figured it out, and took the trouble to implement this style of play.
If I remember correctly, Zhiyao repeatedly used the ambush tactic of hiding in the woods before she was twenty years old? She succeeded time and time again.
Facts have proved one thing. There is no bad routine in the world. Choose the right method at the right time. It doesn’t matter whether the routine is bad or not. What matters is that it is useful.
Zhiyao did not look back and said in a normal voice: "The second and third sons should each return to their respective headquarters."
Zhongxing Qi, Cheng Wu, Zhilin, Ji Qin and others were already waiting. Even though Zhiyao's back was turned, they still bowed before leaving.
How to issue an order to the entire army in the dark? Zhiyao took the torch that Taihu had just lit and slowly waved it three times as a signal.
The cavalry who are about to fight on horseback mount their horses immediately. This time, no one has anything to hold in their mouths. The horses’ hooves do not need to be wrapped with cloth, and the horse’s bit does not need to be worn. The point is to approach the enemy directly, and charge immediately after getting into a suitable distance. .
The Zhi clan has more than 2,700 cavalry, plus the nearly 6,000 from the Fox clan, they will be the first echelon.
About two hundred chariot troops will follow, as well as a "division" of infantry.
There will be about three "brigades" of troops left around Zhiyao. They are the escort force and the reserve force.
More than 8,000 cavalry were moving, and the sound was like rolling thunder in the night. This kind of movement could not be heard if it was far away, but it could be vaguely heard within a thousand meters, and once it got close to within 300 meters, it would be a roar. Ringed.
Zhao Wujie, who had been restless all day, did not fall asleep. He just lay down on the haystacks and opened his eyes when he heard the vague rolling thunder.
"Tell General Qin that we will go and intercept the Jin army."
"In addition, notify Bashutai and Huzuoermi to retreat eastward."
"We are heading west!"
Several orders were given by Zhao Wuxie very quickly, and he shouted while running towards his mount.
We were attacked at night!
Listening to the noise, the number of Jin cavalry who launched the night attack was probably close to 10,000. Even if the Zhao family was prepared and Zhao Guanji had warned his allies in advance, over the course of many days, he was cautious at the beginning and became more cautious after a long period of time. Relaxation, just about 10,000 cavalry is enough to give the coalition forces a hard time, and there are also an unknown number of chariots and infantry.
Of course, Zhao's people immediately moved away without saying a word after receiving the order. It's not that they didn't have other thoughts, such as feeling aggrieved, but the problem was that they were stronger than others, and the Zhao family needed to preserve their strength too much, and at the same time, it also weakened the surrounding people. Powerful.
When Zhao Wuxie was galloping on horseback, he kept looking at the northwest direction where the flames were blazing. He was very worried that the Jin army would find his side and would not attack the Qin army's camp or Baidi and Loufan, which had clear targets.
Fire? That was because the Jin army had no intention of hiding their whereabouts after launching the attack, and even deliberately placed more torches in order to create greater momentum.
"Didn't the spies report that Ji Yao only has less than 20,000 troops? Why does it look like the scale exceeds 50,000?" Zhao Wushe knew that Zhi Yao could play, and felt jealous from the bottom of his heart.
Once the number of people reaches hundreds, thousands, or thousands, it is not easy to hide under the night with sufficient moonlight.
Of course Zhiyao saw a group of troops fleeing under the moonlight, and knew very well that they were Zhao's troops. She had decided to let Zhao Wuxie off for the time being, but when she saw Zhao Wuxie chose to run away again, she had no idea of dividing her troops to pursue them.
.
"This naughty kid has betrayed his allies time and time again and is waiting for the day when he will be counterattacked!"
------Digression-----
Well, let’s change the update time in the future. Chapter 1 at 6:00 in the morning and Chapter 1 at 12:00 noon. It’s not updated at 12:00 midnight, and it’s not like the two chapters are posted at the same time. It’s too ridiculous to skip subscriptions due to the continuous release, isn’t it?
I probably thought I only saved one chapter, but the last chapter always has two to three hundred fewer subscriptions than the penultimate chapter. It’s so sad! So, one chapter comes before twelve o’clock, and the next chapter is at six o’clock.
