The Fan family and the Zhonghang family took the initiative to withdraw from the siege of "Jinyang", which was equivalent to admitting that it could not be captured.
Later, Shijishe led his army to retreat from "Qi", and Zhongxingyin led his army back to "Lushi".
After withdrawing from the siege of "Jinyang", the Fan family and the Zhonghang family chose to separate their forces instead of joining forces? This gave the camp led by the Zhao family a great opportunity to take advantage of.
"The commander of the central army led the army to attack Qi and defeated it. The commander of the lower army took the remaining soldiers and retreated to "Zhongdu". The Zhao soldiers advanced and retreated, and are now trapped in "Sui"."
Is it really miserable? However, it is more or less deserved.
The siege was still going on despite the harsh weather in winter. If we persisted in the warm spring, we could barely maintain the morale of the army. However, when the weather improved, we chose to withdraw, which suddenly boosted the morale of the army that had already had many complaints.
How can you lose again and again without successors if you let it all go out?
Zhiyao went to meet Zhisong as soon as he learned the news and said, "Zu, my family can send troops."
Of course, the news was reported to Zhi Yao, and it may be more detailed than what Zhiyao heard.
Zhizong said with difficulty: "That's it, let's send out troops."
It's not that there is something wrong with Zhizhu's health, it's just this way of taking advantage of someone's advantage... or it could be called beating up a drowned dog, which is quite disgraceful.
If you want face, what is face?
Furthermore, the current reputation of Lao Zhijia itself is not very good.
After this civil war is over, the old Zhishen family will take care of the remaining members of the Fan family and the Zhongxing family, and with the more arrogant and domineering Zhao Yang taking over, Zhishen's generation will have plenty of time to restore their reputation.
After all, any gossip is no match for time. As time goes by, people will only talk about newer gossips. Only some thoughtful people will stare at the past stains of others.
The Fan family and the Zhonghang family no longer besieged "Jinyang", and the Fan family continued to lose again and again. Will the two families enter a countdown to their demise?
Judging from the data on paper, the Fan family and the Zhonghang family still have their fiefdoms in their hands. Although they have lost one "division" after another, the Zhao family, the Han family and the Wei family are not without military losses, and the rest have participated in the war.
The small and medium-sized nobles also suffered serious military depletion.
A family can assemble an "army" of troops, but if one "division" is lost, there will still be four "divisions".
With some hard work, a "brigade" of troops can be assembled, but without much effort, the family's military force will be emptied.
Zhiyao led two "divisions" to conquer Fan's city in the north-central part of the Jin Kingdom. In the process, he found that the small and medium-sized nobles had been tortured miserably by this civil war.
Many heads of small families died directly on the battlefield. In order to fulfill their quota of taxes, their sons had to plunder fiefdoms and recruit young men, making the atmosphere of the war seem miserable.
The middle-class nobles were not much better. Zhiyao saw that there were many young guys in the army, mostly from ten to twenty years old. The quality of the army they brought was really poor.
Zhiyao herself is only eleven years old, and she is also a member of the little ones, but the army she commands is not comparable to that of other families?
There will be so many young people in the army, except that their fathers have died in the war, so what else can happen.
In this era where the father dies and the son succeeds, no matter how young you are, you have to be a noble. If you don't, you have to pay taxes. If you can't pay the taxes, the fiefdom will be insecure. Without the fiefdom, they will be left with the empty status of a noble.
"After this time, will the hegemony survive?" Zhi Xuwu was worried about Jin.
Yes, during a civil war, several high-ranking families were severely damaged, and the small and medium-sized nobles were also affected. The situation was also very bad.
I have to be grateful that this is not an era where ordinary people are deliberately and wantonly massacred, otherwise the situation would definitely be even worse.
Possibly due to Fan's massive recruitment, Zhiyao's army attacked the city continuously without much effort, and it took four months to capture all Fan's cities.
During that period, Shi Jishe took the remaining defeated generals to "Lu" to join Zhongxing Yin, and they withdrew to the city of "Handan" together. Then Zhao Yang came back with the armies of Zhao, Wei and Han, and the two The soldiers of the camp repeatedly launched fierce battles around "Handan".
Zhishen of the Lao Zhi family led three "divisions" to take over Zhongxing's city, and encountered little resistance in the process.
The Zhonghang clan's "city chiefs" in each city did not resist. In addition to the fact that they did not have many troops, it had a lot to do with the fact that the Zhi clan and the Zhonghang clan came from the same sect. The fundamental reason was that the Zhi clan faced the outside world when the Zhonghang clan was clearly defeated. The announcement will be made to protect Zhongxing Qi.
The area Zhishen went to was the western and southwest parts of the Jin State. This area used to be part of the territory of the Qin State, or was occupied by various Rong people. Among them, the Yiluo Rong and Lu Hun Rong, the Man clan was the most powerful. Except for the survivors of the Man clan, both Yiluo Zhirong and Lu Hunrong were destroyed by the Jin state.
The Zhao family, the Wei family and the Han family are fighting to the death with the Fan family, Zhongxing family and Handan family, but the Zhi family is repeatedly attacking cities and plundering territory?
Will the cities conquered by the Lao Zhi family become the territory of the Lao Zhi family in the future? No.
Zhiyao really wanted to swallow her up, but she knew very well that she couldn't do it. If she did, she would be swallowed up by the Zhao family, the Wei family, the Han family, and most likely the Gong family and other small and medium-sized nobles. Join forces to destroy the Zhi family.
The point is, Zhi's whale doesn't have much time to digest it after swallowing it. As long as it can have more than ten years of digestion time, Zhi Yao really dares to take a gamble!
When Zhiyao returned to "Xintian", the battle situation in "Handan" had already come to an end.
The Zhao family, the Wei family, the Han family and the small and medium-sized nobles who participated in the war spent a great deal of money to conquer the city of "Handan". Shijishe and Zhongxingyin took a group of tribesmen and remnants and fled to "Mo (Chaoge)". )", and later crossed the river to escape to Wei State, and after much deliberation decided to go to Qi State.
The heads of the Fan family and the Zhonghang family fled the country?
You must know that although the Fan family and the Zhonghang family were defeated in the civil war and lost control of many cities, they still controlled a large number of cities. It is not that they have no chance to fight back at all, and they can be trapped in one place. Buy time to wait for the situation to change.
However, Shi Jishe and Zhong Xingyin still ran away. They publicly admitted defeat before running out of the Jin Kingdom, with the intention of telling the monarch and Zhao Yang to stop and not to do anything like extermination.
"Zhongjun Zuojiushi Gaoyi inherited the Fan family, and Zhongxing Qi succeeded the Zhongxing family." Zhishuo's face was ashen.
Zhao Yang wants the Fan family and the Zhonghang family to disappear completely in Jin!
According to past practice, Shijishe and Zhongxingyin have already committed the act of "surrender and lose half." The Fan and Zhongxing families deserve to be weakened, but they will not be exterminated.
Zhao Yang rejected Zhishuo's proposal and did not even listen to the monarch's orders. Anyway, he wanted to completely destroy the Fan and Zhongxing clans. He got the support of Wei Chi and Han Buxin.
All the families that suffered huge losses in the civil war agreed with Zhao Yang's suggestion and were waiting to share the cities of Fan and Zhongxing.
Faced with the turbulent situation, Zhizhuang, who has a flawed personality, once again obeyed her heart...
