Zhiyao has made up his mind to attack the Wei family. How could he only target Wei Ju himself? He will definitely launch an attack on the country as well.
So, assuming nothing unexpected happens, "Hulao" must be controlled by the Zhi family at present.
Once the Zhi family controls the "Hulao" pass, it will not only be able to cut off the connection between the Wei family within the Jin Kingdom and the Zheng Kingdom, it will also mean that the most convenient passage for the Wei family to march is firmly in their hands.
Under this current situation, whether we take the route from "Mengjin" to "Hulao" or the route from "Baimajin" to Zheng State, in fact we cannot avoid Zhi's interception.
When Zhiyao went south, he took one "army" and two "divisions" with him, and then recruited two more "armies" in the country.
So, in total, this wave of Zhishi used more than three legions of troops!
"The Fan family can help me quickly acquire the Wei family's cities in the south. Only the cities in the west are more troublesome..." Zhiyao was actually hesitant about taking over the Han family as well.
The reason is quite simple. If you want to completely eliminate the Wei family...or annex the Wei family, you cannot bypass the Han family.
After all, the fiefdoms of the Han family and the Wei family in the Western Territory are intertwined. It is impossible for the Zhi family to ignore the Han family when they use troops against the Wei family's fiefdoms.
In half a month at the latest, Han Geng and others who are in the territory of Zheng will receive news from the country and know that the Zhi family is already taking action against the Wei family.
Half a month is not enough time for the Zhi family to eliminate even the Wei family's fiefdom in the western region. Even if the Han family is just to protect themselves, there is no way the Han family will sit back and let the Zhi family completely destroy the Wei family.
"In ten days, we will have a showdown with Han Geng in half a month at the latest." Zhi Yao was thoughtful and looked at Han Geng subconsciously.
It's not that the Zhi family can't monopolize the Wei family at present, but if it really monopolizes it, the Han family will not sit still and wait for death, and even the Hu family and the Zhong family will definitely be frightened.
So, Zhiyao decided to bring the Wei family to the table and distribute some benefits to the Han family, the Hu family and the Zhong family.
By that time, the Wei family's cities in the south have probably fallen under the control of the Zhi family. When the situation is clear enough, unless the Han family realizes that they will die, otherwise they will not be able to withstand the temptation and choose to fight with the Zhi family. cooperative.
Then things are very simple!
Zhiyao is not going to take over the Jin Dynasty immediately this time, but he still has to go through several processes. First, he will completely deal with the Wei family, and then he will launch the deployment to eliminate the Han family.
Before destroying the Han family, it is necessary to give the Han family some sweetness, and it is also a way to spread hatred.
Is it possible for the Han family, the Hu family, and the Zhong family to unite? After the demise of the Wei family, their alliance will at best cause greater trouble for the Zhi family.
What will make the Zhi family uncomfortable is that the Han family, the Fox family, and the Zhong family will unite and form alliances with external countries. If this really happens, Zhi Yao can only delay it as long as possible and use various means to resolve it.
The next day.
After realizing that the remaining troops of the Wei family were resisting the execution of military orders, Zhiyao scolded them for not wanting revenge, and executed a group of Wei family's officials.
This scared many people, and even the Wei family's troops mutinied. As a result, Zhiyao asked the Han family, the Zhong family, and the Hu family to suppress it together.
"Yao..., this is not appropriate." Han Geng mustered up a lot of courage to say this.
It can be said that Han Geng didn't realize anything was wrong until now, and he looked very uneasy.
Yes, Zhiyao has gained a lot of authority, but when will he be able to overstep his authority to deal with people from other families, and kill dozens or hundreds of officers at one time, and then suppress and eliminate more than 3,000 Wei soldiers with iron blood?
If Han Geng hasn't noticed anything unusual by now, he must be thinking shit.
However, Han Geng only dared to persuade and did not dare to do anything else.
Hu Jie and Zhong Quan looked at each other and could see that the other one was not even the slightest bit uneasy. They couldn't help but guess whether the other party had received some promise from Zhiyao.
There are no promises!
From a certain point of view, both Hu Jie and Zhong knew clearly that no matter what Zhiyao's plan was, Hu and Zhong would only struggle for a while. It would be better for Zhiyao to follow all orders given by Zhiyao and lie down to resolve them.
Crisis, or even gain.
That looked even more frightening to Han Geng.
Zhi Yao must have made a deal with Hu Jie and Zhong Quan. It is a very dangerous sign that Han is excluded from the small circle.
As for whether Han Geng thought about this chaos... or that the Wei family was plotted, he may have thought about it in that direction. Whether he can confirm it depends on his IQ and how courageous he is.
Zhiyao said expressionlessly: "When there is chaos, only by paying attention to the code can there be stability."
It was almost as if Zhiyao bluntly said that he wanted to take over the remaining Wei army, and he would kill anyone who stood in the way.
It can be said that Zhiyao's appearance makes many people simply unbelievable and unwilling to accept it.
Zhiyao used to be such a gentle person, and could always behave politely no matter what happened. How could he suddenly seem like a different person? Even though he tried his best to restrain himself, he still had a kind of cruelty that everyone could see.
?
Han Geng, Hu Jie and Zhong all dared not disobey Zhiyao, and no one else could restrain him.
Next, the remnants of the Wei family were driven to attack the trapped Zheng army, and a "division" of Han family troops was also drawn to join in.
Including the Zhi family, the Hu family, the Zhong family and the remaining princes' armies, they have become the role of supervisors. Once the attacking troops retreat, they will be greeted by arrows. Only by destroying the Zheng army can they survive.
Han Geng was completely frightened. He was so scared that he did not even dare to refuse a "division" being sent to join the war. He only dared to discuss it with his clan members or retainers in private, and did not dare to contact outsiders at all.
"Yao is completely different!" Han Geng took a breath of air after saying this, not hiding his uneasiness at all.
Han Gu said with a gloomy face: "If what I expected is true, the Wei family is in danger!"
Han Kang then said: "Lord, what is possible now is to follow Uncle Zhi's orders and not show any dissatisfaction."
These two people are Han Geng's uncles, that is, Han Buxin's generation.
Han Geng knows!
To put it in plain language, not only is the Zhi family the strongest in this area at the moment, but the princes, the Fox family, and the Zhong family all follow Zhi Yao's orders, which means Zhi Yao has full control over the situation, and anyone who tries to get into trouble will be crushed by the general trend.
Han Geng now wants to run away, but he has no chance, and he is afraid that if he leaves, he will face a more dangerous situation next.
"I think Yao has launched an attack in China?" Han Geng said suddenly.
After saying this, Han Geng was stunned. If that was the case, wouldn't it be possible that this trip south was a conspiracy from the beginning?
Is it possible? Han Geng was not so sure, and thought: "When the time comes, I will ask Zhi Yao about the time of his actions in the country. If it exceeds the fastest contact speed, it means that Zhi Yao carried out the conspiracy before going south."
Quite simple.
If Zhi Yao had just led his army to the south and the Zhi family launched an attack at home, it must have been planned in advance.
In Han Geng's understanding, once Wei Ju disappeared and the Zhi family launched an attack on the Wei family, the Wei family itself gave the Zhi family a chance, including him, Hu Jie, Zhong Quan or whoever, but without Zhi Yao's
Being decisive and ruthless, I just failed to seize the opportunity in time.
The fact is, which householder doesn’t make preparations at home before leaving? What he fears is that he will be suddenly attacked and his house stolen.
Han Geng, who thought he had discovered something, kept a low profile throughout the whole process, so that Zhi Yao noticed something was wrong.
On this day, the rain was still falling, but Zhiyao and Han Geng stood about one meter apart and watched the final encirclement and annihilation battle of Zheng Jun outside the city.
The fighting continues today, and has been going on for seven days.
Zhiyao almost ignored the losses... that is, forcing the remnants of the Wei clan to launch attacks again and again. With heavy casualties on both sides, only two thousand Zheng troops were left in a small area, while the Wei clan had about ten thousand soldiers left.
Public.
During this period, Zheng Junsheng sent someone to request to redeem his own troops outside the city, but Zhiyao refused.
At the same time, the Wei family was worthy of being one of the most prestigious families in Jin. Too many people resisted Zhiyao's brutal treatment, and were subsequently suppressed repeatedly by the coalition forces headed by the Zhi family. A group of people who originally belonged to the Fan family and the Zhongxing family led
The team belongs to the Zhi family, and the remaining more than 10,000 people are the old people of the Wei family.
How could the Wei family have people from the Fan family or the Zhongxing family? That is a sure thing!
After the defeat of the Fan family, most of them were swallowed up by the Wei family. It has only been about ten years. The older generation has not died yet. The Wei family has continued to be popular. Of course, the group of people who originally belonged to the Fan family have
Only by accepting their fate that it was the Wei family's turn to decline or show signs of destruction, would they be unwilling to follow the Wei family into the grave.
A similar situation will not only happen to the Wei family, but also to any force.
So, there are hidden dangers in expanding too rapidly. Unless the situation continues to be good, it will easily collapse from within.
The demise of Zheng's army outside the city is already doomed. Those who sense something abnormal are waiting to see what will happen to the remaining troops of the Wei family.
Zhiyao has collected nearly 15,000 troops from the Wei clan, most of whom are from the Fan clan, and some are from the Zhongxing clan or the Wei clan.
Among them, most of the official ranks of the Wei family were purged, while those of "shi" and below were preserved.
The current era is like that. Zhiyao purges the "doctor" level, and the lower classes lose people to lead the resistance. A very few will continue to resist, and most will accept their fate and join the winning side.
So in the next step, Zhiyao will still clean out the remaining Wei doctors and recruit the remaining Wei soldiers, but he will inevitably kill those who are unwilling to take the oath.
Oath? What the hell???
To put it bluntly, it is a process of reaffirming ownership. The level is lower than that of the imperial official. It is a ceremony used to determine the master and slave.
This kind of ceremony is "giving food", also called "feeding", and later became a large-scale activity in the countryside.
Those who are willing to submit to the Zhi family will accept the food and swear allegiance to their ancestors to be loyal to the Zhi family.
Not willing? Then commit suicide or be killed.
Today, Zhiyao specially called Han Geng. Looking at Han Geng who looked confused, she asked with a smile: "In the past, the Luan family, the Zhao family, the Han family, the Wei family, the Fan family, and the Xun family shared the Que family. Today I
Invite the Han family to eat with the Wei family. I wonder what Geng wants?"
