The Zhi family's successful annexation of half of the Qi country has stimulated too many people!
If Gou Jian hadn't suddenly killed Fu Cha and brought Wu to the table, maybe some princes would have called for a coalition to attack the Zhi family, and the slogan would have been to help the Jiang and Lu family recover the country and take advantage of it.
The Wei family was stimulated by the Zhi family, and Wei Ju gritted his teeth and decided to attack "Xinzheng" regardless of the loss. However, before he had time to become ruthless, he encountered the "Huangchi" alliance.
In fact, Wei Ju did not dare to attack "Xinzheng" violently. They should be afraid that if they suffered too much in the attack on "Xinzheng", they would become fat in the eyes of others.
Really, Wei Jucai didn't believe in anyone's guarantees, and was wary of the Zhi family who seemed to have no intention of provoking a civil war, including the fact that he didn't believe in the mutual help he had secretly agreed with the Han family.
To a certain extent, if you don't trust anyone, you should be vigilant as the head of the family. If you easily believe in someone's guarantee, one day, not only will you die, but the family will be miserable and even wiped out.
The Xian family was like that in the past, they could be said to have dedicated themselves to the Jin Kingdom and then died. However, with the various tricks of the Zhao family and Zhao Dun, the Xian family who went to war was played and then died quietly.
If the Xian family is not enough to warn the Wei family, they need to recall the Que family, the Fan family, the Zhongxing family and the Zhao family. The fate of each family may become the fate of the Wei family.
Now, Zhiyao felt that Wei Ju had misunderstood something.
Yes, the Jin State showed its strength this time. Precisely in this way, it was impossible to make the princes completely obey. If pressed, an anti-Jin alliance would appear on the spot.
If the princes are willing to go to "Xinzheng", they will only be spectators, and the rest is a bit too much to think about.
Wei Ju looked at Zhiyao expectantly, hoping to hear good news from Zhiyao.
Zhiyao, who originally wanted to tease Wei Ju, saw Wei Ju's appearance and knew that the timing of the joke must be measured, and said: "Except Lord Lu, all the princes are willing to watch the battle."
Originally, Lu Junning wanted to go, but the small countries in the south of the Lu country couldn't stand it. If they didn't want Bandit Zhi to take advantage of the situation, they really needed to go back and suppress it quickly.
Two years have passed, and the bandits have not been exterminated?
We have to ask what Sanhuan was thinking. He could easily wipe out Bandit Zhi and the nine thousand people in the beginning, but he just sat back and watched or even condoned it. Now, several small countries are like a lonely boat in the sea, and Bandit Zhi may be strengthened at any time.
The group destroyed the country.
During the alliance meeting held in "Huangchi", Dazhu, Xiaozhu, Teng and Xue who wanted to be present were all absent. The reason was that the bandits had grown in size and had a base. As long as Dazhu and Xiaozhu were
If the kings of Zhu, Teng, and Xue dare to leave the city, the bandits will surround them, trap them, and even destroy them.
Wei Ju was stunned for a moment. He was disappointed that the princes were going to watch the battle. He forced himself to smile, changed the subject and said, "Sanhuan's plan is very big."
Everyone understood what Wei Ju was saying.
It was originally just a slave riot, but with Sanhuan's connivance, it became bigger and bigger, so much so that banditry became a common phenomenon.
At present, Bandit Zhi is having a great time in the territory of several small countries. Maybe one day the country Zuo of a certain small country will be wiped out.
Come to think of it, Sanhuan still really wants a small country to be destroyed by the bandit Zhi, right? Then they can send troops to drive away the bandit Zhi, and then take the territory of that small country into their pocket.
Even though they understand, no one will despise Sanhuan, or even care about the life and death of those small countries.
After all, Qi can be destroyed, and Wu will be destroyed if it says it will be destroyed. Who cares about some small countries with big boogers?
We have returned to the era of mutual annexation, and the moral bottom line has been lowered by Gou Jian. How can everyone despise Sanhuan, and even think that compared with Gou Jian, the way Lu wants to expand is routine.
After confirming that many princes would go to "Xinzheng", Wei Ju still had many things to confirm.
"No, there is no intention to jointly attack Xinzheng. It is just to witness the Wei family's martial prowess." Zhiyao said.
Wei Ju was mentally prepared. Hearing Zhiyao speak clearly, he would still be stunned.
In other words, there is no coalition force, and the other families of Jin will not participate in the attack on the strong city of "Xinzheng". Everything depends on the Wei family themselves.
"This seems good?" What Wei is afraid of is that someone will catch him if he loses too much. With so many princes witnessing it, it seems useless, but it seems to be able to play a supervisory role?
Zhiyao said: "To show your sincerity, why don't you invite me in person?"
After all, it's not the Zhi family who wants to attack "Xinzheng", right?
Since the Wei family wanted to attack "Xinzheng", what could be more sincere than Wei Ju personally inviting the princes to watch the battle?
For a moment, Wei Ju hesitated.
"Xinzheng", the capital of the Zheng Kingdom, is really a fortified city. There are nine inner and outer walls alone, not to mention many street fighting fortifications arranged in the city.
Before, Zheng Junsheng led his army back to the country first. It is hard to say whether he was worried that the Jin army would attack Zheng while the alliance was over, or he realized that the Wei family was determined to win "Xinzheng". Anyway, they did not waste a moment after the alliance was over.
Returned to China.
Wei Ju's hesitation was not that Zheng Junsheng would not strengthen the troops stationed in "Xinzheng" after returning to the National Assembly, but simply that he could not imagine how much damage the Wei family would suffer by attacking "Xinzheng".
"Yao, help me!" Wei Ju knew it was unlikely, but still asked for help. In fact, it was also a test.
Zhiyao first glanced at the rest of the people, then looked at Wei Ju and said cautiously: "The sky is strong, and a gentleman should strive for self-improvement; the terrain is weak, and a gentleman should be virtuous."
This sentence comes from "The Book of Changes". It is not a secret and most people have read it.
What Zhiyao wanted to express was quite straightforward. If the Wei family could not win "Xinzheng" alone, it would be a joke to qualify for southern expansion. Recognize the reality as soon as possible and manage yourself first before seeking expansion.
The fact is that even if Zhiyao is willing to help once, can she still help Wei every time?
If Wei Ju didn't even understand that truth, he would be too naive and cute.
After saying that, Wei Ju's face felt a little uneasy, he laughed a few times and stopped talking.
But Zhiyao had to confirm again and asked: "Is the Wei family still attacking Zhengdu?"
If we don't want to fight, we can quickly notify the princes to pack up their belongings and return home, and they can do whatever they want.
This time Wei Ju did not remain silent for long. He stood up first, said "Ju is visiting the princes" and left.
Han Geng, who was a spectator throughout the whole process, felt his right eyelid twitching wildly. He wondered if he had seen it wrong. For a moment, he saw Zhi Yao showing a very strange expression.
Han Geng looked at Zhi Yao intently and found that the other party was looking over and asked: "Can Geng lead his army back to the country?"
Zhiyao looked at Han Geng quietly, the expression on her face became more and more playful, and after a short while she said, "I'm fine with it."
Could it be that Han Geng noticed something?
Or was it just that Han Geng saw Zhi Yao's inadvertent expression just now and was very vigilant?
In any case, the Han family is completely at odds with the Qin State. If the Han family does not march westward, the Qin army may march eastward. Anyway, we have to guard against it!
After hearing Han Geng's explanation, Zhi Yao remained silent for a while and said, "Geng Xunju just made it clear."
This time, Han Geng hesitated.
Qin may invade, and the Han family has not completely left the Western Territory empty.
The princes and other "Qing" are going to "Xinzheng" to strengthen the Wei family. If there is a Han family missing, will the Wei family hate it?
Han Geng thought Wei Ju could understand. The question was what if?
Furthermore, Han Geng also needs to consider what other people think. Once someone feels that Han Geng is unsociable or unworthy of friendship, the damage will be greater than being invaded by the Qin army.
After Han Geng decided to stay, his right eyelid twitched wildly again.
Nowadays, there is no saying that "the left eye jumps to make money, and the right eye jumps to disaster", but Han Geng felt waves of uneasiness in his heart, always feeling that something big was about to happen.
On the fourth day after Wei Ju personally went to invite him and received an enthusiastic response, with the Jin army as the forerunner and the troops of the princes following closely behind, the seemingly huge team set off.
With such a huge army approaching Zheng Guo, it is impossible for their monarchs and ministers not to know about it.
Zheng Junsheng's choice was to send envoys to ask why he was approaching Zheng Guo.
This time Zhiyao did not add any extra drama to himself, and Wei Ju came forward to formally inform the Zheng envoys in order to go to attack "Xin Zheng".
Wei Ju played a trick and did not tell that only the Wei family was attacking, and the rest of the Jin army, including the Zhi family, Han family, and other princes, would be spectators.
The Zheng envoy who was expelled went back to report the matter as if desperate.
When the monarchs and ministers of the Zheng Kingdom learned that they were coming to attack "Xin Zheng", their faces all became dull for a moment.
Do you want to be so cruel?
The Jin army alone is close to five legions. Counting the princes' troops, the total troops are nearly 350,000, which can flood Xinzheng.
Using 350,000 troops to attack a city was the first time since Ji Zhou replaced Yin Shang!
Soon, someone of unknown origin conveyed the news, informing the rulers and ministers of Zheng that there was no coalition force and that the attack on "Xin Zheng" would be carried out by the Wei family alone.
Although the man tried his best to hide his origin, he could still tell from his accent that he was from the southeast. Whether he was from Wu or Yue requires further verification.
Handa guessed: "Are they from Yue?"
Obviously this wave is Gou Jian's highlight moment, but the Jin Kingdom comes out. Is it natural that the Jin Kingdom makes Gou Jian hold a grudge?
There's just one thing that's strange. It seems that Gou Jian doesn't seem to be such a restless person, so why would he show up so impatiently?
Before Zheng Guojun could do anything, the person who informed him of the news disappeared.
The unknown news made Zheng's monarchs and ministers somewhat hopeful, and while there was still some time, they desperately mobilized troops from surrounding areas to "Xin Zheng".
Their troop mobilization encountered trouble the next day. The cavalry of the Zhi family and the Hu family appeared and attacked the Zheng army. Many Zheng soldiers were forced to retreat to their original positions. Those who could not return were either captured or killed. The baggage was
All were plundered.
The entrance of the Zhi family and the Hu family made Zheng Guojun call Gou Jian a liar. In despair, instead of seeking surrender and losing half, he became determined to fight to the end with a will to die.
Under Zheng Junsheng's order, Handa only left the city with a few guards and went to the south to recruit more troops.
To use Zheng Junsheng's original words: Qi was destroyed, and Wu was also destroyed for a time. Zheng would never have been as useless as Qi.
Therefore, the monarchs and ministers of the Zheng Kingdom can no longer survive, and they want to drag their enemies to die together!
