When people go out and become famous, if they don’t go back to their hometown to show off, don’t they feel that their life has lost its luster? This is the so-called “wealth that does not return to its hometown is like walking in brocade at night”.
Therefore, if you are awesome, you can't show off to the people in your hometown who know you well. No matter how awesome you are, what's the point.
If you are successful and want to go back to your hometown to show off, it will naturally be better if you can develop well in your hometown. The driving force for social development must include the desire to show off, right?
Zhiyao really wanted to help Confucius go back and show off, but realistically, the princes all felt that Jin was in trouble, and the "halo" from Jin became less bright.
To put it bluntly, when the Jin State was still recognized as the overlord, anyone or anything that could go to the Jin State to be plated with gold would be able to do all kinds of awesome things when they returned. When the Jin State could no longer intimidate the princes,
Besides, it was no longer necessary to come to Jin for gilding.
"How many years has Confucius been in exile in history? How long will it take for the Jin State to regain its hegemony, and Confucius can't wait to get it?" Zhiyao still wanted to help Confucius return to the Lu State to show off.
The question now is how long the Jin Dynasty will sink, and even whether it can climb out of the quagmire.
All in all, the two big mountains pressing on the countries of the "Eastern World", the Jin State and the Chu State, both had mudslides. Opportunities have come for ambitious princes, and the weak countries will surely suffer!
Historically, Confucius lived to be seventy-two years old. Considering that he lived a wandering life for more than ten years, it seems that he often missed a meal, and it is normal for his body and bones to be damaged.
In this version of history, Confucius was taken in by the Zhi family, and his quality of life would definitely not be bad. It all depends on his mental state. No matter what, his life span should be longer than in the original history, right?
"Yao, the army has arrived at Yong to rest and regroup?" Zhishen said in a question, not caring about anything.
The multinational coalition led by Qi State has crossed the river. They entered the control area of Fan family and arrived at a place called "Communist".
There are quite a lot of hot springs in this place called "Gong", which is also known as "Hundred Springs" among the people. It is also a very beautiful place.
The land of "Yong" is about 170 miles away from the land of "Gong", and there is a land of "Fan" in the middle. What is more troublesome is that there is a large swamp area to the west of "Gong", which is called Dalu Ze by contemporary people.
.
Therefore, the two "armies" composed of the Zhi family, the Fu family and some small and medium-sized nobles should stop and garrison when they arrive at "Yong". On the one hand, they should rest and recuperate, and on the other hand, they should send people to invite Qi Jun Chujiu and Lu Ji.
Jun Song, Wei Junyuan, Song Junluan, Zheng Junsheng Huixue.
Do you know how to hunt? To put it bluntly, you just want to make an appointment to start a fight.
Because the relationship has entered the late Spring and Autumn Period, at the alternating time point between the old and the new, where one party invites the other party or parties to start a fight, the chance of whether they will agree is almost 50-50.
Zhishen got the answer and asked again: "How many troops will the princes have together?"
It is difficult to say how many troops the princes had together, and it is also uncertain whether the private armies of the Fan family and the Zhongxing family should be included.
At present, Shi Jishe and Zhong Xingyin are staying with the princes, but their presence was very strong at the beginning, and then became weaker and weaker.
This was a change that occurred as the Fan clan and Zhongxing clan changed their wall flags one after another. To a certain extent, the usable value of Shijishe and Zhongxing Yin to the various princes has been decreasing, resulting in an attitude.
A very real change.
Zhiyao guessed: "It should be sixty or seventy thousand?"
Even in the late Spring and Autumn Period, the Central Plains countries still followed the army organization of Zhou Rites. The most obvious thing is that the princes' one chariot is only equipped with twenty-five infantry. Therefore, one of their "armies" consists of five hundred chariots and ten thousand infantry.
Two thousand five hundred infantry.
Zhishen nodded and said calmly: "So, it's only four or five 'armies'."
After gaining hegemony, the Jin State was able to collect protection fees from other countries and suck blood from other countries for nearly a hundred years. It also increased its population due to its continuous victory in foreign wars, so it carried out military reforms during the era of Luan Shu.
Later, the Qi State also wanted to reform its military system. It imitated the Jin State's old establishment but added more infantry. However, it was severely beaten by the Jin State as soon as there was any sign of it, and it obediently continued to implement the military system of Zhou rites.
It is difficult for other countries to have the idea of expanding. Either their productivity cannot keep up, or they do not have enough troops, so they can just stick to the old tricks.
Zhishen is not afraid of other countries at all, because no matter how the civil war weakens him, the combat effectiveness of the Jin army is still much higher than that of the princes.
In the past, Jin State would still be afraid of Chu State, but since Chu State was repeatedly defeated by Wu State, Chu State has lost the qualification to compete for hegemony and has to seek self-protection instead.
This is also the reason why Chu State did not join in the fun this time. In the past, Qi State did not have to fight for the upper hand. When Chu State saw that Jin State was in civil strife, it did not even give a shout and directly sent troops to the north.
When the troops under the banner of the Zhi clan entered the scope of the Fan clan's strength, they did not launch an attack on the city where the banner of the Fan clan was flying. They even went to discuss purchasing certain items.
Will the cities that are still under the Fan family sell things to the Zhi family? Yes, and the prices will definitely be fair.
Fan's clan members or retainers cannot be considered traitors if they do this. They are just maintaining the old orderly way of doing things.
Of course, if it were the Zhao family who came to buy from the Fan family, everyone would know that the Zhao family wanted to destroy the Fan family. Do you believe that if the Zhao family's people go to the Fan family, they will end up giving away people's lives? And the Fan family kills
The Zhao people who came to the door at first would not have any psychological burden, but they were killed in vain just because Zhao Wu Zunli came to the door!
One day, the people sent by Zhishen to "communist" came back and brought back the news that the princes agreed to join the hunt.
Qi Junchujiu, on behalf of the other princes, agreed to start a hunting meeting at the "common" place. At the same time, he asked Zhishen many questions, including how the Zhi family and the Zhongxing family, who were originally from the same family, chose to side with the Zhao family to commit fratricide.
One piece.
"Shen was speechless..." Zhishen felt so guilty and ashamed.
What? Do you want to answer Qi Junchujiu, saying that the Laozhi family has no confidence in contending with the alliance between the Zhao family, the Wei family and the Han family, and even sold the Zhongxing family from the same clan just to get a share of the pie?
Zhiyao blocked the redundant questions about Qi Junchujiu to prevent them from spreading and shaking the morale of the army.
To put it bluntly, this operation of Lao Zhijia is really unreasonable!
"The troops of Gongsun, Zhao, Wei, and Han went south from Handan and arrived at Mo ten days ago. If I help, they need to reach the Gong area within eight days." Zilu takes the overall situation as his starting point.
, to say this.
Zhiyao glanced at Zigong, Yan Yuan, Min Ziqian, Ran Boniu, Zhong Gong, Zai Yu... and others in the tent, and felt quite puzzled.
Many of these disciples of Confucius have spiritual mysophobia and cannot bear to see the filth of the world.
If Zhiyao dared to reveal his intention to trick the Zhao, Wei and Han families, God knows whether he would be scolded on the spot.
Zhiyao's eyes moved to Zilu, who was looking forward to it, and said, "Even if I ask your lord for instructions, you all should be ready to leave."
Zilu had led troops in the state of Lu, but he did not lead the army of the overlord in battle.
It has been widely circulated for nearly a hundred years that the Jin army is awesome. How could Zilu not be looking forward to leading the Jin army to fight the enemy?
