Chapter 47: If there is a bargain, why not take it?
Friendship is not enough, only benefits are eternal!
The Wei family was different from the Han family. They moved closer to the Zhao family. The reason was that the Fan family was too powerful, and the Zhongxing family and the Fan family wore the same pants.
In view of the fact that the Zhi family and the Zhonghang family are from the same clan, to outsiders they are the Fan family, and the Zhonghang family and the Zhi family are in the same group.
The Wei family and the Zhao family came together as a kind of group to keep each other warm. They discovered that the relationship between the Zhi family and the Zhonghang family was not that close. Moreover, they had repeatedly fought with the Fan family and the Zhonghang family and suffered too much loss. They must have felt regret in their hearts.
Zhao's idea of forming an alliance.
The reason why the Han family is close to the Zhao family is that, firstly, the Han family has been very benevolent to the Zhao family, and secondly, the Han family has been infiltrated by the Zhao family to some extent.
After a civil war, the Wei family discovered that the Zhi family still had something to offer, and the key was that the power was in Zhi Shuang's hands.
In the past, the Wei family did not try to get together with the Zhi family due to some reasons. That was in the past, not now.
The current situation will change due to what happens, and the relationship between family and family is usually not the same.
In Wei Chi's view, the civil war led to changes in the strength of each family. It seemed that Zhizhuo was just low-key and not completely incompetent. Zhishuo even deliberately promoted Zhao Yang to disguise himself. All in all, Zhizhao showed his strength.
Strength and the authority held by the head of the family, Zhishuang, are also important.
"Wei Chi took the initiative to find his grandfather, which shows that his attitude has changed. If my grandfather is willing to give up some interests, we can definitely hit it off!" Zhiyao felt that it was necessary to write a letter quickly. She actually wrote a few lines but then put the paper aside.
Knead into a ball.
There are too many reasons why Zhixuan has to keep a low profile. Her character is also flawed due to an unfortunate relationship in her childhood. Doesn't that mean she is a fool?
No matter how we say it, Zhizhu is the head of the family. In his childhood, Zhizhu suffered frequent changes and did not receive the education that a head of the family should have, but he will definitely make up for it later.
That's right, from ancient times to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Zhu Xia always followed the model of establishing status first and then educating people. Those who would become the head of the family should have the knowledge that the head of the family should have; the tribesmen who were prepared to be "social butterflies"
, all they learn is communication and entertainment; thugs? They must have cultivated force since childhood.
The above-mentioned education model took Europa to explore in the Middle Ages, and it has been retained until the information age. However, Zhuxia no longer conducts education based on preset identities.
Zhiyao thought to herself: "I can't interfere in everything."
He has done enough things and even interferes with whoever the family has contact with. Does he think he is already the head of the family?
The Expo Road was gone, taking away the news that "Fei"'s army would go to Zheng State first, looking for opportunities before going to "Mo".
With the direction of military operations, the army cannot set off with just one order.
A group of people mobilized by Zhiyao came over. They were basically young men between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two. Most of them were added to the grassroots level of the army as "soldiers", and some were responsible for logistics work.
Since the young friends who came here were basically descendants of a certain tribe or retainer, there was no opposition or resistance to filling positions in the army. Others were a little worried that these young people were not useful.
Zhiyao trained too many people, and the first batch would teach them personally, and they were relatively familiar with each other. Later, as the number of people increased, there was not much contact.
Of course, Zhiyao will definitely show his face when it's time to show his face, so that the people he trains will not know who to be loyal to.
They will go through great waves, and only those who are truly capable will grow up. Some will become members of Zhiyao's core team, and more will serve as grassroots personnel in all aspects.
The army's food and fodder are dispatched, and the corresponding military equipment is also prepared. Next, the soldiers prepare what they need.
The preparations took eight days, and then at Zhishen's order, an "army" force left "Fei" and marched towards the border of Zheng State.
Today's Zheng people are born in the year of the tortoise. First, "Xin Zheng" was built like an iron barrel, and later each city followed suit and built special defenses.
The Zheng people were actually forced. At a certain time, either the Jin army or the Chu army came to attack. There was almost no chance of stopping every year. It was really insecure not to build their own turtle shell.
Later, Zichan firmly chose to side with the Jin State, which finally eased the pressure on the Zheng State against the Jin State. However, the Chu State was not finished with the Zheng State, and most of the battlefields were concentrated in the territory of the Chen State.
In early autumn, Zhiyao came to the territory of Zheng State. The first city to be attacked was called "Ningshu".
It’s hard to say for other eras. The names chosen during the Spring and Autumn Period will be very close to the actual situation.
This place called "Negative Millet" is one of the grain-producing areas of Zheng State. "Negative" does not mean negative, but in the current interpretation, it means "enjoyment"; "Min" is a crop, that is, big yellow rice.
So "negative millet" can be understood in vernacular: a place where rhubarb rice is delicious; a place where rhubarb rice is produced in large quantities.
"You must not step on farmland." Zhiyao looked at the farmland that seemed to extend to the end of the earth, and her heart was full of joy.
When a civil war broke out in the Jin Kingdom, war zones could occur anywhere, and farming was only carried out on a small scale.
When the Zheng State was involved in the civil war of Jin, they may have thought that the Jin army was busy killing each other, or they may have been besieged by the princes and unable to invade the Zheng State, but the Zheng people did not miss the spring or summer sowing.
Zigong came over specially and asked, "Is Gongsun holding the ceremony?"
This means: Should we follow etiquette in fighting?
What etiquette? In other words, the war has nothing to do with civilians, let alone destroying the enemy's production facilities.
Zhiyao only talked about etiquette with Zheng Guo because he was sick. It was purely because they would attack "Negative Millet" and the crops would be mature in about two months, and they could be harvested by then.
In the past, before the Jin army came over, they would first go to the city to notify the enemy of their arrival, so that the enemy troops could prepare to leave the city for field battles, or if they wanted to defend the city, they could go out early to collect fuel for making fires and cooking.
.
That's not the case now.
Should the enemy troops go out of the city to fight, or will the siege troops not be able to cook because the city is besieged?
There are even more cruel changes. In the past, wars would not deliberately target Li Shu, but once the war started, it would be an attack without distinction of status.
The Zhishi army from the Jin State surrounded "Ningshu" and then began to divide their forces to raid the surrounding "states".
They spent seven days building siege equipment, and another three days to capture "Negative Millet". In addition to not getting close to Chu State's sphere of influence, they would continue to attack Zheng State.
The stronghold will not be withdrawn until it encounters strong resistance or feels that enough is enough.
"Zheng Jun successfully led his army to the expedition, and the country's troops were few." Zhi Xuwu was very satisfied with the continuous capture of Zheng's cities.
In fact, everyone in the Lao Zhi family was very satisfied. The gains in all aspects were huge, which not only made up for the cost of sending troops, but also made a huge profit.
Zhiyao has been paying attention to the battle situation in "Mo" and said: "I have no intention of attacking Xinzheng, and I have no intention of going south to go deep. The war in Mo is stalemate, maybe I can go and help Zhao?"
There were cities that were easier to attack, so they went to attack the strong city of "Xinzheng" because of their mistakes.
On the "Mo" side, the Jin army led by Zhao fought brutally with the coalition forces of all parties, and both sides were almost at the "end of the war".
