Our army?
Oh, it's the Han family.
Zhiyao had not received this news yet, and was somewhat surprised that Han was in trouble.
During the last Jin State's Western Expedition, Zhiyao led his army to annihilate the Qin State's more than 30,000 troops. With the current size of the Qin State, not to mention the physical and mental injuries, in the past year, the Qin State had conquered so quickly.
Recovered?
There is a fact that the current Qin State is more nomadic than settled farming, and the composition is about 40 to 60%. This is why the number of cities in the Qin State is so small, but the scope of influence is a bit large.
Under that current situation, Qin's national strength cannot become stronger, and it is difficult to access administrative instructions, which will inevitably make the transfer of personnel more troublesome.
This situation in Qin was because they annexed too many Rong and Di, and it had a lot to do with the fact that the Qin people were good at raising horses.
For example, the Meng family, the Xi family and the Bai family have risen in the Qin State. Among them, the Xi family and the Bai family have always maintained their nomadic habits.
The number of nomadic groups waiting for the Qin State is smaller than the settled farming groups. If there are no deviations in history, it will take about another forty or fifty years, that is, the Qin State has generally digested the Rong and Di, and then realized that insufficient agricultural production capacity will not help increase the national power.
With the growth rate, too many people were nomadic and it was not conducive to the high-level rule of the country, so they began a major change in national policy.
That change lasted for a very long time. There is no relevant record in history books as to when it was completed. Later generations only know that there was such an action, but the process is unknown.
Wei Ju shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying: "If this happens, there will be subversion in the Western Territory."
Zhiyao said: "Let's see if Qin abides by the covenant."
No, Zhishi attacked Qi State and became the savior of Qi State. He also joined forces with the Chu army to defeat Wu State in Qi State. This did not delay Zhishi's desire to seek some cooperation with Wu State.
When the Wei family was conquering Zheng State, they also fought with the Chu army once, and later seemed to have reached some agreement on cooperation.
So, the Han family was defeated by the Qin army. The Han family, the Zhi family, the Wei family... and other families are in the same country. Considering the Han family's own intention to expand westward, it does not mean that the Zhi family and the Wei family need to fight Qin.
ah.
The Zhi family is fighting against Qi. Did they ask other families to contribute? No.
In the same way, the Wei family was torturing Zheng Guo, but it was different that they did not call out other families.
In fact, it is okay for the Zhi family or the Wei family to join the westward expansion, but the Zhi family's established strategy is to expand eastward, and the Wei family's expansion direction is to the south. Obtaining land in the west is not what the Zhi family and the Wei family desperately want. The Han family
What benefits can be given to the Zhi family or the Wei family that are attractive enough?
Zhiyao said: "How serious is the Han family's loss?"
If I remember correctly, Han dispatched three "divisions" of troops in this western expedition?
Three "divisions" are not too much for Zhishi, and if they are broken, it will not hurt the muscles and bones, but some effects will inevitably occur.
Wei Ju shook his head and said, "I don't know how much damage it has suffered."
If Wei Ju had the answer, he would be monitoring the Han family very closely. It's not that surveillance is a bigger problem for Zhi Yao, it means that Wei Ju and Han Geng have close ties. The two families are so good that they can even tell each other secrets...
The number of troops lost is indeed a secret, and it may even determine whether a family can continue to survive. How can it be disclosed casually?
Zhiyao felt that Wei Ju was a little defensive about her, and one of the reasons for his speculation was that he was not allowed to go to the "Tiger Prison".
It can be said that their status has been changed. Either someone has become the head of the family, or someone has assumed the position of minister. There must be a lot of changes along with it.
In the past, when I was young, my parents would almost always tell me what I could and could not say, and some of the things I revealed might have been specifically asked to be revealed.
While crossing the river, Wei Ju took the initiative to talk about the battle between the Wei family and the Chu state in "Yanling", and also mentioned the Lu family's Qi.
Lu Qi..., also known as Wei Qi, he shot out the left eye of the King of the Communist Party of Chu in that battle, and was later shot while following Yang Youji's army.
The "Battle of Yanling" that took place in the 11th year of King Jian of Zhou Dynasty (575 BC) was generally a defeat for both Jin and Chu. In the following ten or twenty years,
Both sides no longer have the strength to provoke a new round of war.
Of course, saying that Jin and Chu can no longer provoke a new round of war refers to another battle between the two overlords. If other countries provoke Jin or Chu, Jin and Chu will still have that
He is capable of beating up children who offend him.
This time, the Wei army and the Chu army once again fought in a lose-lose situation, that is, there was no winner and both sides were losers.
"It's a pity that the scale is a bit small." Zhiyao did not think that the loss of one legion or less would cause an uncontrollable situation for the Wei family.
Since Wei Ju took the initiative to mention his family's affairs and did not shy away from mentioning the Chu Kingdom, there must be some hints, such as asking what happened between the Zhi family and the Chu Kingdom.
"As far as Chu State is concerned, Wu State is the most important at the moment." Zhiyao said.
This is a consensus and an obvious thing.
In fact, the Chu country has a great cause, and even wants to cut off the strength of some people. Otherwise, if the losses of 20,000 to 30,000 people appear several times in other vassal states, which country can withstand such a torment.
Wei Ju said: "That's true! This time the Chu army went north and fought fiercely with Wu in the Song Dynasty, and was defeated repeatedly by the Wu army."
What the hell?
Zhiyao didn't know those things.
It's true that Zhishi spread out a lot of details. They didn't get clear instructions to let them investigate anything, and they were usually in a static standby state.
After all, it is a meticulous work, and it will only take action at the critical moment. If you keep moving every moment, you just want to be exposed quickly.
After hearing the news, Zhiyao blinked and thought, "Is Ziqi going to post it?"
The Chu army in other places was repeatedly defeated by the Wu army. Duduziqi now won one battle with Qi, and then fought a beautiful pursuit battle. No matter how stupid the kings and ministers of Chu were, the only shining point was so bright, no matter what
Know how to grasp it and set an example to encourage the whole country?
Zhiyao thought of too many things in that moment.
When the Wei family wanted to talk to the Chu State, they had to fight first to let each other's strength be verified before talking, which was in line with the communication process between powerful countries.
The Zhi family had fought alone against the Chu army a long time ago, and the Zhi family still won. This time, they brought a group of captured Chu soldiers to taste the sweetness of defeating the Wu army. For the Chu people, it was simply too much to think about.
More...
Look at the nobles of the Chu State, including Ziqi, and their subsequent attitude towards the Zhi family. The power of the Zhi family has long been proven. The alliance with them not only further witnessed the power of the Zhi family, but also because of the alliance with the Zhi family.
He defeated an opponent that he could not defeat before.
Who wants to be beaten like a grandson again and again when he can taste the sweetness of victory?
Zhiyao could guess that when Ziqi brought the Chu army back, as long as the Chu monarchs and ministers had some brains, they should figure out what those soldiers who had regained their freedom experienced in Zhishi. Regardless of whether there was any summary,
It’s a given that you tend to associate with Zhishi.
Even if there are no other benefits from the Chu State's association with the Zhi family, it can always be used to contain the Jin State, right?
Zhiyao already understood what Wei Ju wanted to express.
Next, the Wei family needs some help from the Zhi family. It is not that the Zhi family will join the team that torments the Zheng State, nor does it want to ask the Zhi family to take the lead in the Chu state. It hopes to have a reasonable division of labor, not to cause trouble for each other, and to help the Han family if possible.
"Trying to pull the Han family? History is repeating itself!" Zhiyao thought about it and couldn't help showing a weird expression.
Wei Ju could see Zhi Yao's strange behavior and did not find any malicious intent. He did not say too much, but still hoped that Zhi Yao could think about it carefully.
At present, the Jin Kingdom has no actual leader and is very close to entering the republican era. Everything is decided by the Zhi family, Wei family and Han family, and the remaining Hu family and Zhong family can do whatever they like.
This time, the Fox family did not interfere with the Han family's troubles. They were busy building cities and reclaiming farming areas, and lived a pleasant life behind closed doors.
Two months later, Zhiyao and Wei Ju returned to "Xintian" hand in hand to surprise those who knew the news.
The Zhi family is expanding eastward and the Wei family is marching south. How should they return to the capital together?
Zhiyao and Wei Ju, who returned to "Xintian", did not go home separately, but came to the Han family's house together.
After hearing the news, Han Geng went to the door to greet him personally, and saw that Hu Jie was also there.
After greeting each other, Han Geng welcomed everyone in. He was talking and laughing, but the other Han clan members and servants could tell that he was in a heavy mood.
After arriving at the hall used to meet guests and sitting down respectively, Han Geng suppressed the smile on his face and said: "Qin Jun will pass away when he returns home."
What's the meaning?
Was it because Qin suffered a huge defeat last year and Qin Junpan died soon after returning home? In this case, Qin Junpan became the fourth or fifth king of a country indirectly killed by Zhiyao.
Han Geng smiled bitterly and said: "The Lord of Qin led his troops to the war, but died of illness during the war. The Qin army fought with me. The Qin people are brave and not afraid of death, and I am invincible."
Wait, what's going on?
In other words, Qin Junpan knew that he was sick and knew that it would be difficult to return to the expedition in person, so he still chose to lead his troops to the expedition, used his own death to turn the Qin army into mourning soldiers, and then beat the Han family violently?
Zhiyao looked at Han Geng with sympathy, and at the same time felt that the Han family had no regrets in defeat.
The fact is that Qin Junpan may have known that he would die of illness in a while, but he chose to use the trick of "a sad soldier will win", which not only left a good name in the history books, but also saved Qin from decline.
Fished it out.
Zhiyao asked: "Qin Xinjun is the young master assassin?"
Han Geng nodded and said: "Exactly."
Wei Ju laughed out loud and said, "I heard that he is very violent?"
Gongzi Ci? The last time he was captured, Zhiyao decided to release all the people with some status in the Qin army. Otherwise, Gongzi Ci and the rest of the Qin people would still have to make the decision in Jin.
So, what was Wei Ju laughing at just now? Didn't Xiao let go of Young Master Ci and others, Qin Junpan didn't dare to die for a while, or was Xiao Han really unlucky?
Han Geng looked at Wei Ju awkwardly, then at Zhi Yao who didn't know what he was thinking, and finally his eyes fell on Hu Jie.
Hu Jie came here today because he was invited by the Han family. The two sides wanted to talk about jointly dealing with Qin and Bai Zhai.
With the Han family in trouble this time, they really should find a helper.
