"Wu", the capital of the Wu Kingdom, was captured by the Vietnamese army in one day?
The Vietnamese army ambushed the Wu army. The leader of the Wu army, Ru Cao, was killed in the battle. More than 20,000 of the 60,000-strong army were wiped out. The rest of the Wu army surrendered?
A series of information is placed on Zhiyao's mind.
In fact, ever since Zhiyao heard that Fucha dared to let Goujian live in his palace and could move around at will, Zhiyao knew from that day that Fucha would be harmed by Goujian sooner or later.
So, did Fu Chai die under assassination?
If Fu Chai was killed by an assassination, Gou Jian would have been the first person to engage in assassination as a monarch.
"Sure enough, it is easier for someone who is despicable, shameless and full of conspiracy to accomplish something!" This is what Zhiyao was thinking at this moment.
When it comes to competition, how can it be completely upright?
There have always been many opinions on what means should be used to achieve a great cause. It just depends on whether we can do something beneficial to most people after the great cause is achieved.
If you use dark means to do something that is beneficial to most people, countless people will naturally love it and beautify it spontaneously.
So, the knife is still the same knife. It is not the knife that hurts people, but the person holding the knife!
Although Zhiyao has not completely escaped from the sadness of Zhishen's death, she still cheered up and summoned the core tribesmen and retainers in "Puyang".
Expo Road was no longer among the crowd.
After Jishen's funeral, Expo Road chose to die and continue serving underground.
Because of his choice of Expo Road, he has the title of a righteous man and is admired and respected by the world. His family will also receive preferential treatment from the Zhi family.
Similar situations are not uncommon. Many retainers will choose to commit suicide after the death of the head of the family they serve. The most famous martyr among them is Cheng Ying, who died in the opera "The Orphan of Zhao" with his own son in place of Zhao Wu.
infant.
Zhiyao saw records about Cheng Ying in "Jin Cheng", but there was no such thing as using his own son to die in Zhao Wu's place. What was recorded was that Cheng Ying helped Zhao Wu regain the throne, and then Cheng Ying committed suicide.
Go underground and tell Zhao Shuo that the Zhao family has regained the throne.
At one point, Zhiyao could not find any records about the character Tu Anjia.
After truly understanding the power structure of the Jin State, Zhiyao can say responsibly that there is no such person as Tu Anjia. It is all because the Jin State does not allow non-Qing family members or nobles to have such powerful figures.
exist.
In fact, Tu Anjia is a character in Zaju. Everyone thinks that the reason for its existence is simply that it is too widely circulated.
It's almost like "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been so widely circulated that many people regard the contents of the novel as real history.
Expo Dao will gain a higher historical status as the Zhi family becomes more powerful, and will not become a tragic figure like Yu Rang in the original history.
"Gou Jian, the king of Yue, called on the princes to gather in the 'Huangchi' to form an alliance to deal with the Wu Kingdom that lost its king." Zhiyao said.
As for how Wu lost its monarch and what situation it is currently facing, someone has just described it.
When he heard that Gou Jian invited the princes to discuss how to deal with the state of Wu, there was an uproar in the room.
They were not surprised why Gou Jian invited the princes to share the benefits, but they were simply surprised that Fu Cha, a great lord, died like that, especially the way he died was so atrocious.
Why did Gou Jian invite the princes to deal with the state of Wu? In fact, this is the most appropriate and orthodox approach in the current era.
One of the reasons is that the Yue State is not strong enough to monopolize the Wu State. If they dare to monopolize the Wu State, they will inevitably be surrounded.
The second reason is that Gou Jian needs the hatred of the Wu people to be dispersed, and the princes can intervene to deal with the Wu state and suppress the resistance of the Wu people.
More importantly, once the princes come to share the benefits created by Gou Jian, the position of leader of the Yue Kingdom will be confirmed to a certain extent. The princes who have benefited will more or less need to repay the Yue Kingdom in certain things.
A new interest group was thus born.
Where is the "Huangchi"? It belongs to the territory of the Song Dynasty. There is a map that can be found almost in the center of "The World".
The location of the alliance was set up there, so that everyone could make the noise known, and secondly, it was convenient for the princes who wanted to participate in the alliance to go there.
Speaking of which, when several powerful countries hold alliances, they all seem to like to set the alliance in the territory of Song Dynasty? What is the reason for this?
Gou Jian did not deliberately send envoys to a certain country to invite him. He just spread the news. It was voluntary whether he went or not.
"Chu, Lu, Song, Zheng and Ju will definitely participate." Zhiyao knew this very well.
Some vassal states that were adopted as younger brothers by Wu State, such as Pi State, Tan State, Dazhu and Xiaozhu, would also spontaneously come to the scene. They had to go. If they went, they might still be able to keep their country. If they didn't go, they would have to follow Wu.
disappear.
Sima Ranju asked: "Is the Lord going?"
That's nonsense.
Did Jin ever go there in the original history? Zhiyao didn’t know this.
The situation is that in the original version of history, the Jin State was absent from the alliance held by Gou Jian and watched the Wu State be carved up by many countries. At that time, the Zhi family and the Zhao family entered the stage of being at odds with each other, and the Wei family and the Han family were brewing.
The betrayal of Zhishi.
Zhiyao said in a low tone: "Why don't I go?"
Just to help Song Guo stand up, Zhiyao must be present at the scene.
It’s not that Zhiyao’s failure to support the Song State would make it impossible for the Song State to recover the land originally occupied by the Wu State.
It is obvious that Gou Jian cannot annex the Wu State alone, and will definitely return the land that the Wu State snatched from other countries to form a tie with the princes.
When Zhiyao wanted to say something, someone came to report that a delegation from the Yue Kingdom had arrived outside the city of "Puyang".
"The king of Yue did this to get where he is today, so he must invite the master to go." Sun Wu said something that I don't know if it was an afterthought.
To put the facts in perspective, Gou Jian succeeded in revenge by using dark means, and this version of history is not that the Jin State was in internal troubles and could not interfere with other countries. Gou Jian could be allowed to ignore the Jin State.
After the Zhi family annexed the Qi State, although the Jin State did not border the Wu State, once the Jin State wanted to interfere in the affairs of the Wu State, the Lu State and the Ju State would not be able to prevent it at all.
Is there an envoy from Vietnam arriving? Zhiyao must take time to meet them.
The Yue envoy seemed very anxious. Seeing that Zhiyao had no nonsense, he directly asked Jin to intervene in the dispute between Yue and Wu.
This is a sign that the Yue State still regards the Jin State as its suzerainty. As for whether it is sincere or not, it actually depends on the strength of each. Everything else is empty.
"My father just passed away." No matter how simple Zhiyao was, he would definitely have to spend three months in mourning.
The Yue envoys had already figured out from Zhiyao's mourning clothes that someone in the Zhi family had died, and it must be a member of the core clan. They did not expect that the deceased person was Zhishen.
Other matters can still be discussed, but Zhiyao's father passed away, so there is no possibility of discussion at all.
Zhiyao didn't wait for the Yue envoy to say anything more, and said directly: "The alliance meeting at 'Huangchi' will be done in a hundred days."
In other words, Zhiyao requested that the alliance should not be held earlier than autumn.
The Vietnamese envoy was obviously confused and did not recover for a long time.
Then again, it was too urgent to rule out Gou Jian, otherwise the alliance would usually be held in autumn, which would make Zhiyao's request seem a bit redundant.
However, Gou Jian was definitely in a hurry, and he was so anxious that he could not wait to hold an alliance meeting immediately and invite other countries to participate in the treatment of Wu.
That was the method used by Gou Jian to get rid of the core senior officials of the Wu State. Even if a Wu army of 60,000 men was ambushed and eliminated, it did not mean that the possibility of the Wu State's comeback was completely gone.
The long-term mental malaise did not make Zhiyao lose his ability to judge. Gou Jian himself was very impatient. You can imagine how eager the Song, Lu and Chu countries were to get involved.
Let's put it this way? Even if all countries have their own troubles and encounter such a good opportunity, no matter how big the trouble is, they can't stop them from joining this feast. Once the opportunity is missed, several countries will lose their land and cannot be peaceful.
It's so important that it might even resurrect the state of Wu.
The Yue envoy came to his senses and found that Zhiyao was no longer there. He was stunned again, and soon he made a face change, and then decided to return immediately.
What's a bit funny is that the Yue envoys still learned from Zhiyao that their monarch had invited the princes to form an alliance, without actually knowing anything about it beforehand.
Zhiyao needs to be in mourning in "Puyang", and she should concentrate on reasoning wholeheartedly, and put everything else aside for the time being.
But what? A long time ago, the Jin Dynasty put the needs of the living before the dead and took the lead in shortening the mourning period, so that people would not really do nothing during mourning.
As a Jin person, Zhiyao worked during the period of mourning. No Jin person would gossip, and even when results came out, they would praise Zhiyao for putting family first and would be very happy to think that Zhi's ancestors have spirits.
Of course, it is a hard rule not to drink alcohol or engage in sexual activities during mourning, and once you do, you will definitely be scorned.
At present, most of the "Qings" in the Jin Kingdom are staying at "Xintian", and Wei Ju is the only one who is still leading troops in the south.
Zhiyao sent people to "Xintian" to discuss with Hu Jie, Zhong Quan and Han Geng how to join the "Huangchi" alliance. At the same time, he also sent people to Wei Ju to inform Wei Ju that he would lead his army south in four months at the latest.
Regarding what Gou Jian did and what he was going to do, Wei Ju's area should have known about it earlier than others?
Currently, the troops led by Wei Ju are not far from the "Huangchi". The Wei family and the Song State have formed a coalition to conquer the eastern part of the Zheng State. The coalition forces encountered desperate resistance from the Zheng people. Every time they captured a city, they had to pay a lot of effort.
price.
In the past, Wu State supported Zheng State. Even if Fu Chai did not send troops to assist in the battle, the Wei family and the Song State would always leave a force to deal with the situation.
The state of Wu lost its monarch? Will the nobles of the state of Wu on the border of the state of Song lose their minds and raise their troops to attack the state of Song? This is really something that worries the kings and ministers of the state of Song.
Under such worries, the Song army, which had been attacking Zheng with the Wei family, withdrew again.
This was the second time that the Song Dynasty suddenly withdrew its troops in the middle of a battle. Although the reasons were quite good, Wei Ju was still very angry.
Why might the Wu army invade the Song State? It is clear that the Song State wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to try to regain the territory captured by the Wu Army. Even if he knew the reason, Wei Ju still could not react too much, and even needed to ask the Song State about Wei Ju.
What can you do to help?
His own affairs are his own affairs, but other people's affairs are not? Wei Ju is not narcissistic to this extent.
When Wei Ju received the news that Zhiyao would go south, he felt extremely complicated for a while.
There is nothing wrong with Jin people caring more about living people. Wei Ju is a person who understands the relationship between the Zhi family and his son very well. One thing can be seen from Zhiyao's choice, that is, Zhiyao's self-control is too scary.
Three months later.
Zhiyao set out from "Puyang" and went to "Handan" with one legion of troops. When he arrived in "Xintian", he only stayed for seven days. When he set off again, his troops became three legions.
Of course, not all of the three legions came from the Zhi family. Four of the "divisions" belonged to the Han family, the Hu family and the Zhong family each dispatched two "divisions", and the Zhi family added two more "divisions".
In other words, among the troops going south, Zhishi alone dispatched one "army" and two "divisions" of troops.
Previously, the Wei family dispatched two legions to go south. After a few months of fighting, there will definitely be losses. Even Wei Ju himself doesn't know how much is left.
In short, Jin's troops marching south this time were really too many, far more than any other time in the past, exceeding the size of four legions.
Because the Jin State had no desire to hide it, all the countries immediately learned of the troops brought by Zhiyao, and the whole world fell silent in an instant.
It’s too exaggerated and too powerful!
A legion of the Jin State has 37,500 soldiers, and four legions equal 150,000 soldiers.
In the past, the Jin State only dispatched four legions two or three times, but it seemed that it was still not fully equipped. It also scared all the countries into silence. These two or three times it dispatched four legions, without exception, they all competed with the Chu army, which shows that Chu
The strength of the country.
Now, the Chu State is no longer the Chu State it once was. The Wu State, which has risen strongly, is about to fall. There is really no single country that can resist the Jin State.
So, what about multiple vassal states uniting to fight against Jin?
I'm sorry to say that the multinational alliance may be able to surpass the Jin State in terms of military strength. Due to the relationship of a multi-national alliance, they first have many internal conflicts, and the defeat may be worse than a single country fighting against the Jin State.
Most of the princes who wanted to participate in the "Huangchi" alliance had already arrived first, and Wei Ju also moved to the "Huangchi" side early.
One day, a black line appeared on the northern horizon, and those with good eyesight could see the forest of flags.
As the Jin army got closer and closer to the "Yellow Pond", the ground began to vibrate, and as the distance got closer, the vibrations became clearer.
A war drum was suddenly beaten, and then the rhythmic drums continued to sound. The Jin soldiers stepped forward, and their stepping frequency coincided with the sound of the drums. Each sound was like the earth breathing.
"The Jin army is so well-organized!" Gou Jian got the news and came to the nearby hilltop. He looked at the Jin army who were lined up in square formations and marching in neat steps. His face was full of envy that could not be concealed.
