Most of the time, plans just can't keep up with changes. What Zhiyao didn't expect was that she would run into him.
They were looking for an opportunity to completely annihilate or defeat the coalition of princes, and the intelligence from "Mo" gave them a blow.
The army led by Zhao Yang was defeated by the Fan and Zhongxing rebels jointly commanded by Qin and Gao Qiang. After the defeat, they withdrew to "Handan" and suffered another defeat. Once they retreated, they retreated to "Five Clan".
If it weren't for the Zhao family, the Wei family and the Han family were seriously damaged, Zhiyao would have doubted whether Zhao Yang was acting.
The worst thing for the Jin State is that Zhongxing Yin, who had previously retreated to the Wei State, became more and more angry and returned to the borders of the Jin State to join forces with Qin and Gao Qiang's troops to regain "Handan".
Afterwards, an announcement was made to attack "Xintian" and liquidate Jin Junwu.
What the hell???
It has been defined as a rebellion before, and now it is announced that it will kill Jin Jun? It must be the successive defeats of the Zhao family, Wei family and Han family that gave Zhongxing Yin the confidence!
Or maybe Zhongxing Yin thought about it over and over, but couldn't find a way out, thinking that Jin Junwu and Zhao Yanghang were colluding. First, the monarch and the Zhao family wanted to completely eliminate the Zhongxing family, and then the civil war broke out, and they had to use force.
Let the Jin Kingdom regain its blue sky?
Zhong Xingyin knows how to seize opportunities. At present, the Zhao family, Wei family and Han family have suffered heavy losses again and again. The Zhi family is tied up in the "Communist" war with the princes. The small and medium-sized nobles in the country have exhausted their military resources. They really hit the "New".
Excellent opportunity for "field".
It was almost when Zhongxingyin gathered the Fan family, Zhonghang family, Handan family and other small and medium-sized nobles who were dissatisfied with the country's top officials, and combined about four "divisions" of troops to march to "Li", the soldiers from "Xintian"
The order was also issued to Zhiyao's army.
"Your Majesty ordered us to come back quickly and provide assistance." Zhishen felt confused about the development of the situation.
It’s only been a few days? How come the situation changes again and again, making people feel so unprepared?
Zhi Xuwu said: "I may be able to annihilate the armies of the princes, or I may be severely damaged, but how can I..."
However, Zhiyao knew that it would be impossible not to rescue "Xintian".
That has to do with political stance, and the second thing is that once "Xintian" is really captured by the rebels, Jin will be completely in trouble from a national level.
"Withdraw your troops," Zhiyao said.
In any case, they fought with the princes in the "Communist Party". Judging from the princes' first withdrawal and the loss of troops on both sides, they undoubtedly won the victory of Huihui.
There is no way to overcome the problem, there will be a next time.
Once "Xintian" fell, it would not only be a disaster for the Jin State, but also a heavy blow to the Zhi family.
The most realistic thing is that if "Xintian" really falls, as "Yuanrong" Zhisong does not commit suicide and apologize, the better end is to step down. There is no third option.
Halfway through their meeting, an order came from Zhisong, also giving instructions to return the army to defend "Xintian".
In this way, there is no need to negotiate at all, and following the orders of the family leader becomes a necessity.
"There must be something wrong here!" Zhiyao insisted, and continued thinking: "Maybe it's the situation Zhao Yang wants to see."
Therefore, Zhao Yang deliberately defeated the siege of "Mo" and would rather suffer some losses than create an opportunity for Zhong Xingyin to attack "Xintian"?
You can't blame Zhiyao for thinking that way. The main reason is that the counter-rebellion army that attacked "Mo" was defeated too quickly!
The army of Lao Zhijia was originally going to ambush and pursue the coalition of princes, but the main force stopped after a short distance. Cheng Shuo, who was in charge of the ambush, blocked the princes but did not attack.
What Cheng Shuo did was to send people to pay tribute to Qi Jun Chujiu, Lu Jun Song, Zheng Junsheng and Shi Jishe.
It must be said that the sudden appearance of Cheng Shuo and his army shocked the princes. Just when they thought they were playing tricks on themselves, the Jin army did not launch an attack. Instead, envoys came to pay their respects.
Regardless of whether it was a scene or a fig leaf, the princes praised Zhi for coming to pay tribute when he had the opportunity to attack. Several princes opened their mouths and left some troops and supplies respectively, which was regarded as "buying money for the journey", and then left with the rest of the troops and supplies.
Already.
Afterwards, when Confucius's disciples learned what had happened, many of them praised the incident and thought that "the king's way is promising" and so on.
Some historians who had personal experience, those who followed the princes to record history, also recorded this incident. Their wording was very flattering to Zhishi, and at least they positively affirmed the actions of the princes.
Isn't it! Following the principle of "surrender and lose half", one party respects etiquette and the other party understands the rules. This is really unusual in this time when etiquette is ruined.
Zhishen led the army to retreat to "Yong".
"The Chinese army is stationed on the outskirts of 'Huangfu'; the rebels have conquered 'Yingting'." Zhi Xuwu paused and said: "Your Majesty, there are only four 'divisions' left in our army, and the enemy's morale is high..."
Of course, it's not that they died 10,000 or 20,000 people. After investigation along the way, relatively reliable data has been obtained. More than 6,000 people were killed, and 6,7,000 people were injured, disabled, and lost combat effectiveness. Manpower is also needed to guard the prisoners and supplies. Next
It was to prevent Zheng Guo from invading the southern border. There were only four "divisions" left that could continue to fight as field troops.
At present, there are not only four "divisions" under Zhongxing Yin. They are advancing with great success, and the cities of Fan and Zhongxing are sending troops to join together. Small and medium-sized nobles are also joining in, swelling to one "army" and two "divisions".
troops.
Judging from the scale of the established army, Zhishen still has four "divisions" of combatable troops, and Zhao Yang has three "divisions" of troops. Calculated as a separate camp, the strength of Zhongxing Yin's troops seems to be the current
The most numerous.
It is not wrong at all to use the phrase "the situation took a turn for the worse" to describe the change in situation.
At the same time, one can imagine how powerful the Fan clan and the Zhonghang clan are. Not only are they strong in themselves, they also have considerable influence on the Jin State and foreign princes. Whenever there is a chance to make a comeback, they can gather a large group of helpers.
There is also bad news for the Jin State. The princes who had already withdrawn to "Mo" learned that Zhongxing Yin was marching to "Xintian", and they respectively recruited troops and supplies from the country. Then the army also marched to "Xintian"
"The direction is approaching.
Zhi Xuwu said unfavorably: "The Zhao family, the Wei family, and the Han family have not recruited any more troops."
It's a bad situation, right?
Zhao Yang, Wei Chi and Han Buxin didn't know whether they were really running out of troops or what their plans were. They just stayed with "Father Huang" and didn't mention it. If they didn't quickly gather troops to the various fiefdoms again, they would just sit back and watch.
Has "Xintian" fallen?
Zhiyao thought maliciously: "Perhaps they are eager for the fall of 'Xintian', so that the Zhi family can bear the responsibility for the fall of the capital, and it can also arouse the hatred of the nobles in the country towards the princes, the Fan family, and the Zhongxing family. In short,
For them, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages anyway.”
The change of situation is not good for Jin and the Zhi family. Once Zhao Yang does not rescue "Xintian", the world will see clearly the plans of the Zhao family, the Wei family and the Han family.
The problem is that once the situation is a done deal, what will happen if it is seen through?
"This is peaceful and reasonable. We want to weaken the Zhao, Wei and Han families, and they must also want to weaken the Zhi family. From a logical point of view, Zhao Yang will eventually rescue 'Xintian', but it just depends on the timing..."
Zhiyao must think about how to force Zhao Yang to lead the army to return reinforcements, instead of letting Lao Zhijia do it himself.
