Chapter 343: Insignificant People Become Valuable Wealth
Chapter 343: Insignificant people become valuable assets
When will the weak who are allied with the strong decide what the strong should do?
If the strong and the weak form an alliance and everything is done based on the needs of the weak, the relationship between individuals can only be due to feelings, and there should be no talk of feelings at the national level.
Weak countries are tools to strong countries. Sometimes strong countries look after weak countries that form alliances. It is simply that the matter is related to the interests of strong countries. Otherwise, the events that occur will not harm the interests of strong countries. At most, strong countries can only attack important countries.
Threatening third parties who do something.
If the deterrence of a powerful country is ineffective against a third party, you need to look at the strength of the third party. If it can easily kill you, just stretch out your hand; when it is your turn to pay a price, you need to see what kind of price it will pay. If it exceeds a certain limit of tolerance,
, if it can give up that weak country, the strong country will most likely choose to give up the alliance with the weak country.
Like the face of a big country, if a third party can cause damage to this powerful country, face is no longer something that needs to be maintained. Reducing losses is what a powerful country needs.
What is the situation now?
The Qi State will definitely be destroyed by Zhiyao. The current situation of the Qi State is not worth the Zhi family's shedding too much blood.
In the same way, the Wu State may not value the Lu State very much, and may not care about the losses suffered by the Lu State. What it wants is to achieve its own goals.
After the 25,000 Qi troops withdrew to the vicinity of Zhishi's camp, about five or six thousand were left?
During the battle between the Qi army and the Lu army, the losses were about 6,000, which means that 12,000 to 3,000 people were killed or missing in the Wu army's sneak attack.
The battle between the Qi army and the Lu army lasted for half a month. After they defeated the Lu army, the Lu army, which originally had about 25,000, still maintained an organization of about 15,000.
To say that the Lu army was defeated, more specifically, it was because the soldiers of the Lu State could not withstand the psychological pressure, and Zilu was also put under pressure by the higher-ups of the Lu State, which made it impossible to fight anymore.
To be honest, this kind of situation is very characteristic of the Lu state. They were very tenacious during the period of Zhou Gongdan and the following three generations. From the fourth generation onwards, they were completely defeated. The only great victory was achieved by not using force.
Virtue wins.
In addition, Zilu clearly knew that Zhiyao and his army were near the battlefield, but he had not contacted him once yet.
Maybe we can’t blame Zilu? Nowadays, people pay attention to one thing and another. There is nothing wrong with Zilu being a vassal of the Zhi family, but it is another thing for him to serve as the commander-in-chief of the army of the Lu State, as long as the two do not produce each other.
Conflict, the two can each deal with the same thing.
Now, there is nothing wrong with Zhishi's army being around the battlefield, but Zhishi's army did not actually break out into battle with the Lu army, and there would be no conflict between Zilu's duties and powers.
If Zhishi's army goes to war with the Lu army? Zilu will definitely resign as the commander-in-chief of the Lu army. At the same time, he will not come to Zhiyao's side to attack the Lu army.
Now there is no such thing as being a human being inside and out. Zilu's choice of not helping each other is in line with the current three views. The top management of Zhishi can understand, and the top management of Lu State will not have any negative words. As for it, there is no negative word at all.
Any gossip is out of the question.
Similar thinking was still mainstream until the Warring States Period.
For example, Gongsun Yan of the Wei State was unable to be reused in the Wei State, so he accepted the appointment of the Qin State out of anger, and then led the Qin army to attack the Wei State and annihilated tens of thousands of Wei troops in one battle.
At that time, the senior officials of the Wei State regretted why they did not reuse Gongsun Yan and did not care about Gongsun Yan leading the Qin army to annihilate tens of thousands of Wei troops. Instead, they invited Gongsun Yan to return to serve in the country.
Later, Gongsun Yan did return to the Wei State to serve, and also launched a joint vertical attack on Qin. Although Gongsun Yan did not succeed in the joint vertical attack on Qin, he did block the Qin army in the west for more than ten years.
At that time, the senior officials of the Qin State still felt that they could not stand up to Gongsun Yan. They spoke highly of Gongsun Yan's actions in the Qin State and did not criticize Gongsun Yan for returning to serve the Wei State.
Pay attention to the "high-level people" mentioned repeatedly. This means that the high-level people in both countries do not feel that Gongsun Yan has done anything wrong, but the people below are not so generous. Gongsun Yan must first be scolded by the Wei people, and then be scolded by the Wei people.
The people of Qin hated him.
When different classes look at the same thing, they will actually have differences based on their own understanding.
In terms of current thinking and three views, the Zhi family and the Lu State can't really be blamed for adopting a neutral approach. On the premise that no fighting broke out and resulted in casualties on both sides, the other classes would probably be in a situation that had nothing to do with them.
attitude.
Zhiyao needs to admit that he didn't hear clearly what Qi Junwan was crying about just now because he was distracted.
Yes, as the majestic king of a country, Qi Junwan was crying and scolding the Wu people for being despicable and shameless, and what methods they used to bully the Qi army.
Not only Qi Jun was crying, but the Dukes of Qi and nobles with different surnames who came over were also crying and howling, showing how despicable and shameless the Wu people were and how miserable they were.
To be honest, they were quite miserable. They were defeated in the first battle, leaving their troops behind and running across the mountains and fields without their lives. They must have suffered a lot on the way to escape.
"Yao Yao heard that the people who were entrusted to me were stationed in the camp and still fighting fiercely without retreating?" Zhiyao asked.
Qi Junwan and others may not know about this, so they stopped crying when they heard it, and either looked at Zhiyao in a daze, or looked suspicious.
Those 10,000 people were recruited from various occupied areas under Zhiyao's order. There was no time for any training in military skills before. If there was any training, it was probably learning to queue up in the village?
After the regular Qi army was defeated, a small number of them relied on the camp to defend themselves. Later, they reached a consensus among themselves and obtained the consent of their husbands and decided to stay in the camp and defend themselves. Later, they persisted under the attack of 30,000 Wu troops.
Four days.
Good guys, really good guys. The regular Qi army saw the Wu army coming to kill them and chose to run away. On the contrary, the people who did not undertake the combat mission made the choice to stick to the camp. Either the Qi army was too afraid of the Wu army, or the people
It’s crazy to think about making meritorious deeds.
After hearing the news, Zhiyao was slightly stunned and figured it out. Those who were sent to serve as village chiefs often told their own stories and instilled in the villagers the idea that if they want to be a master, they must dare to fight for their lives. They also used their own
achievements as relevant evidence.
Twenty-five people were recruited from each village, and the person leading the team was still their village chief. Twenty-five people happened to be a "two" establishment. When they arrived at the assembly point, they were reorganized according to the Jin army's establishment, which meant that there was no distribution.
Weapons are civilians, and having weapons is a complete army.
Of course, in the current era, civil servants are not like "scholars" or "disciples" who exercise when they are full. At the same time, they do not have the experience of "envy" who usually work in farming and gather for training at a specific time. They are just a group of organized people.
They were just civilians. They had not mastered the skills of using weapons, let alone practiced military formations.
The result was a group of people who, with the desire to perform meritorious deeds, relied on the weapons they picked up or obtained from the Qi army's unprepared stores, and relied on the camp that was not a permanent fortification. Within four days, they started a tug-of-war with the Wu army.
It was a tug-of-war, and the civilians could not keep the Wu army out of the camp. Both sides occupied large or small camps, and fought day and night for four days.
It can only be said that people who suddenly have a goal, and they are eager to achieve that goal, Xue Yong can really make up for the lack of combat skills. With the kind of family who died in the battle, they will get five acres of land, and the disabled will also have relevant assistance.
, killing one enemy is equivalent to fifty acres of land, and the more enemies you kill, the more rewards you can get, and so on.
"I have sent troops, and I think they are already in a fierce battle with the Wu army." Zhiyao said.
A group of Qi monarchs and ministers had strange expressions upon hearing this.
Zhiyao originally wanted to wait a little longer, for example, let Wu Jun take the initiative to come to his side, and then have the Tibetan soldiers attack Wu Jun's back during a head-on confrontation.
Knowing that the civil servants were in that situation, Zhiyao would never sit back and watch the civil servants be wiped out. Even if a temporary change in the battle plan might allow the Wu army to escape, she would still want to save those civil servants.
It's not that Zhiyao suddenly became a good person. If you think about it in depth, you will understand why she made that choice.
That group of people are working hard to get rewards from the Zhi family. Zhiyao needs to give the most positive response. The more people return alive, the people who have made meritorious deeds will receive rewards from the Zhi family later. Do they have any
It doesn't matter if you brag, the rewards you get are real anyway.
Furthermore, let alone people who want to become storytellers once they have had a thrilling experience, the surviving people will definitely brag about the highlight moments of their lives over and over again.
As long as the civil servants are alive, they will be living advertisements for Zhishi, proving that Zhishi's words and deeds must be resolute, making the new sapiens aware of the credibility of Zhishi, and attracting more new sapiens to join.
Come to the camp serving the Zhi family.
Qi Junnian looked like he was hesitating to speak. Many people were like that.
If the Qi army had survived and won, they would have had the courage to ask Zhiyao why the Jin army was standing still nearby.
As losers, no matter how much they want to ask, they have to swallow the words again, all because they have become losers again.
You can still defend yourself if you fail once, but continuous failure is a complete manifestation of incompetence. Talking about it more will only make it more embarrassing.
Qi Jun stubbornly wanted to show off his face, but it seemed that only that face was left, and the rest were lost.
The situation of the rest of Qi's dukes or nobles with different surnames is the same.
In another place.
That is to say, the Qi army arrived at the place where the Wu army attacked like a frightened rabbit. Guan had just killed a Wu army, but his arm was also injured.
Guan actually only killed one Wu Jun in these four days. He spent more time encouraging the young people he brought while taking care of the injured young people.
When they arrived, there were twenty-five young men, plus Guan and two colleagues, a total of twenty-eight people. Sixteen of them were still alive, and one of Guan's colleagues was killed in the battle.
Under high-intensity fighting, those who were lucky enough not to be killed or injured were not only physically exhausted, but also mentally exhausted.
That is because the Wu army did not attack with the vigor that it was bound to win. A considerable part of the Wu army was resting and recuperating, waiting for the next battle with the Jin army.
Without a good rest and all kinds of fatigue, I felt like I couldn't hold on any longer. I can only imagine what it would be like to be young and strong.
Guan knew very well that as long as the Wu army's offensive was more fierce, it would break the Neosapien's desire for meritorious service, and then their double collapse would lead to a crushing defeat.
"What will the eldest son do? The rescue will definitely be rescued. Maybe he will choose to rescue after the people can't support it, so as to receive the greatest gratitude from the people?" The husband has served Zhiyao for too long, and he can't say that he fully understands it. He can still guess some of his thoughts.
Arrived.
However, Hu Lio guessed wrong this time, and he heard louder and louder cheers outside the tent.
Just when they felt they couldn't hold on any longer and were gradually feeling desperate, reinforcements arrived!
