Directly killing the opponent's leader and then annexing the forces? This approach is feasible, but the problem is that it seems too rough and will cause a lot of trouble to integrate.
In recent years, the State of Qin and the State of Dai have cooperated on many matters. When they meet, they talk about friendship. They often become one family, hugging each other for warmth. They really do not realize that the only way out for the two families is to become one family.
The Qin army agreed on a date to fight and successfully deceived Yiqu, and escaped unscathed in the early morning of two days later.
The surrounding foreign tribes all felt that the Xia countries were very trustworthy, and as foreigners they could not do anything like making a fight but then running away. Even if they knew that Qin was special among the Xia countries, how could Yiqu know that Qin was so shameless?
When Yiqu discovered that the Qin army was escaping, he was furious and sent troops to pursue him.
The Qin army's light cavalry cooperated with Dai's cavalry to ambush the more than 10,000 Yiqu cavalrymen who came to pursue them. The two sides fought for a whole day, and ended with Yiqu's defeat.
"Does Yiqu know about the Yuan Kingdom's dispatch of troops?" Zhao Wuji rejoined Qin Junci and asked about this matter.
Qin Junci hesitated when asked, and after thinking for a while he answered truthfully: "It's unknown."
It is hard to say whether the Yiqu people knew about the danger faced by the Qin State.
Yiqu has existed for a long time, but they are very different from Zhuxia. Generally speaking, the people in Yiqu are more ignorant.
Countries here in Zhuxia have long been familiar with diplomatic relations. The Yiqu people are still waiting to find someone if they need it. When they find someone, they will give a shout. If they are willing to cooperate, just have a drink together. If they don't want to cooperate, don't waste time on each other.
A stage where time immediately turns around.
In terms of military thought, Zhu Xia had already compiled a set of theories, and Yiqu people just followed their feelings.
To put it simply, Yiqu doesn’t even have written characters, and it doesn’t have a systematic education. There may be people with extraordinary talents, but the knowledge cannot be passed on to the next generation in a more scientific way.
Another point is that the countries on the Zhuxia side will spend more time trying to find out who their enemies are, including Yiqu, Bai Zhai, Lou Fan and other foreign forces. It is very likely that the word "intelligence" is not even in their dictionary.
Why can advanced civilizations crush each other when they encounter backward civilizations? It’s not just a simple gap in weapons and equipment. There are gaps in all aspects from ideas to ways of doing things. It is absolutely wise to say that those who are lagging will be beaten.
Why were the two Song Dynasties the ones who were beaten violently when they met the Liao or Jin? The two Songs may have crushed the Liao or the Jin in terms of literature, but their national policies were inherently crooked, and their weapons, equipment, and military ideas really didn't win much.
It passed through the Liao and Jin kingdoms.
They joined forces and retreated to the upper reaches of Lishui River.
This place is two hundred miles northwest of "Yong" and less than eighty miles away from another foreign force, Wushi.
The Wushi are also a tribal alliance with a long history, but compared to Yiqu who is seeking expansion, they appear relatively mild.
The Qin State had frequent contacts with the Wushi family, especially after the Zhi family reformed the cavalry, the Qin State strengthened its trade with the Wushi family, mainly purchasing horses from the Wushi family with various supplies.
It has to be said that the Wuzhi people are very good at raising horses. The same type of horses will become fatter and stronger under the care of the Wuzhi people.
If it weren't for the repeated accidents of the Qin State, Qin Ting had already planned to annex the Wushi people in order to enrich themselves and gain the horse-raising technology of the Wushi people.
The relationship between the two countries is good, but Qin wants to annex Wushi? This cannot be said that Qin is not a thing.
Countries can only talk about friendship when they can do nothing for each other. Whether they can fight or not is another matter.
When it is the turn of a country that is clearly capable of annexing it, there will be no third party to stop it or has the ability to stop it. Even if it annexes it, it will gain great benefits. However, it would be foolish not to annex it because of friendship or something like that.
To sum up the country's principles in one sentence: there is no love or hatred between countries, only eternal interests.
Zhao Wuji met Qin Junci again, talked about some things, and asked suddenly: "Have I offended the Meng family?"
This "I" refers to Zhao's Daiguo.
Qin Junqi felt a sudden change in his heart, and pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Zhao Wuxie said: "Meng's strength is so strong that he can see the few people in his eyes, and his eyes can't hide the murderous intention."
Qin Junci made a stunned expression, but he was really stunned. There was no pretense at all. When he came back to his senses, he said with uncertainty: "Or is it because Bolu returned to the original country?"
Zhao Bolu, who had no military talent, did not go out with the army. The Qin capital "Yong" was captured by the original army, and Zhao Bolu was among the many prisoners.
The Qin State heard that Zhao Bolu was immediately sent to "Puyang" to meet Yuan Junyao. There are all kinds of rumors about what happened after that. What has happened is that Zhao Bolu became a doctor in the Yuan State.
Zhao Wuxie had an incomprehensible expression on his face and said, "Brother is definitely not pretending to defect to the Qin State, nor is it a trick of the original country."
Currently, in view of the fact that "Yong" city was captured and Zhao Bolu was treated well by Yuan Junyao, many people in the Qin state believed that Zhao Bolu defected to the Qin state just to help the Yuan state capture "Yong" city. Many people believed this.
Zhao Wuxie smiled bitterly and said: "Yuan Junyao hates me very much, and treats my brother very well."
Regarding this point, Zhao Wuji couldn't figure out why even if he thought about it, the fact seemed to be exactly the same.
Qin Junci smiled bitterly after hearing this and said, "I don't know why the original country hates the Qin country."
Obviously, the Qin State sent people to congratulate the Zhi family on the founding of the country, and it had always maintained a diplomatic policy of amity. I really didn't expect that the original congress was doing one thing overtly and secretly, and usually showed a friendly side, but suddenly declared war while Qin was fighting Yiqu.
They only planned to stop in Lianshui for a period of rest, which would not exceed five days at most.
Taking a break is one thing, the main thing is to observe Yiqu's next move.
If Yiqu's army pursues southward, the Qin and Dai coalition forces will not fight the original army. Instead, they will part ways. The Qin army will retreat westward, while the Dai army will go back to join its own people.
At this stage, most of the area is in a primitive state, and will be called Beidi County from now on. The area near the core of the Qin Kingdom is mountainous, and beyond the mountains is a vast grassland.
In this kind of terrain, it is not a posture of following closely. If you want to find the other party again after leaving, it depends on whether God will give you face. A rain can wipe away all traces.
When the Qin army retreated, they left scouts to pay attention to Yiqu's movements, and temporary reports showed that Yiqu's army was still staying in place.
"The original army first captured Yong, and the army invaded Ji in detail. How many defenders are left in Yong City?" Zhao Wuxie asked.
In fact, Zhao Wuxie had already roughly found out that the Yuan Kingdom had left more than 20,000 troops in "Yong". What he couldn't understand was why the Qin Kingdom lost its capital so easily.
In addition, the Qin State can lose its capital once, even if the main force is attacked by the original army outside. If the current Qin State takes back "Yong" again, will it be sure to defend "Yong" the next time the original army invades again?
In Zhao Wushe's view, the Qin State simply did not have the strength to confront the original State. Giving up "Yong" and migrating might have a chance of survival. If it continued to drag on, it would only drag itself to death.
Dai Guo faced the same situation. Staying where he was would only result in the loss of both people and land. The only way out was to lose the territory and seek new development. Zhao Guoji, who understood this clearly, did not hesitate to make arrangements for relocation.
Qin Junci smiled bitterly and said: "Now I don't dare to stay long even if I retake the capital. Retaking the capital is just to cut off the return route of the original army of the Western Expedition."
Why can't Qin's monarchs and ministers see things that others can see clearly?
Qin Junci added: "It is necessary to defeat the Yuan army once. The Yuan state seeks to dominate the Central Plains, and I will not be firm in attacking you. A long war will be detrimental to the Yuan state. Furthermore, if the Yuan state does not suffer a disastrous defeat, it will definitely attack you."
I'm chasing after him relentlessly."
Zhao Wuxie felt that this was the right thing to do. He agreed first and then said: "The Zhi family has transformed the family into a country. The Han family, the Hu family, and the Zhong family are closely related. At first, they seemed sincere because of the alliance between the countries. Now that the countries have suffered a tragic defeat, their minds are bound to be confused.
"
Qin Junci was waiting for Zhao Wuxie to continue talking.
"The Zhi family must be wary of the Han family, the Hu family, and the Zhong family when they are engaged in transforming their family for the sake of the country. Zhi Yao's ambitions are so unpredictable, how can he leave hidden dangers in the country? As expected, as soon as the foreign troubles are eliminated, he will seek
It’s time to resolve internal troubles." Zhao Wuxie said with great certainty.
They didn't know that Han Geng had chosen to retreat, that the hidden dangers in the Yuan country had not been completely resolved, and that Zhi Yao's path to using force had been blocked.
Qin Jun asked: "There was civil strife in the original country. What does it have to do with now?"
At least there hasn't been civil strife in the original country, right?
Now it is Qin that is in danger. Until the crisis is resolved, nothing else will be of use.
Zhao Wuji smiled first, and then said: "I heard that the Han family sent troops of one 'army' and three 'divisions' this time. If Zhiyao wants to exterminate the Han family, may it cause the Han family to return to the army?"
In other words, if Zhiyao wants to consume Han's troops, is this their chance of victory?
There is no precedent for using other countries to eliminate internal threats.
Such a dark method? It is still unknown whether Zhiyao will use it. Qin Junci felt that what Zhao Wuxie said was reasonable, and at the same time, he became more wary of Zhao Wuxie.
"The spies have been sent out, and we will find out the details of the original army who stayed behind in Yong," Zhao Wushe said.
If Zhiyao wanted to consume Han's troops, he would definitely let Han's troops continue their western expedition, and the original army left behind in "Yong" would be Zhi's own troops.
However, the news returned from "Yong" two days later hit Zhao Wuxie in the face.
"It's the Han family who stayed behind!?" Zhao Wuxie was a little confused.
Xiyin said with a reasonable attitude: "The Han family is not good at close combat, so we should use our good shooting skills to defend the city. The Han family should defend the city of the original country."
The truth is this. The key is that Zhao Wuxie felt that he understood Zhiyao, and then used his own thinking to analyze it, and concluded that if Zhiyao wanted to destroy the Han family, he would first consume the Han family's troops.
Zhao Wuxie found that the way Qin Jun glanced at him was a bit strange, so he thought it was a tease because of his wrong guess. He thought about it and said, "Since the Han family is defending the city, maybe it can be attacked?"
Qin Jun Ci said: "If it is as my wise brother guessed, the Han family must be serious about self-protection. Now that the Han family has the responsibility of defending the city, can I attack the original army of Xishan?"
What's the point?
It’s hard for the Zhi family and the Han family to trust each other, right?
Anyone who has seen clearly the internal structure of the original country can see this.
It did not happen that Zhiyao ordered Han to go west in order to consume Han's troops. It can be interpreted that Zhiyao temporarily felt that it was not suitable to know the internal hidden dangers and was waiting for a more suitable opportunity.
In their view, Zhiyao can give up opportunities again and again, but Han has no excuse to make trouble for Zhiyao.
Since the Han family has been assigned the task of defending the city, in order not to give Zhiyao a reason to attack, Han's first priority is of course to ensure that "Yong" City is in hand.
Qin Junci added: "If the Han soldiers leave the city, they will give me an opportunity to take advantage of it."
Whether it was before or now, it is true that Han relied heavily on the cooperation of his teammates. Zhao, who came from Jin, should be more aware of this, right?
However, Zhao Wuxie thought: "Of course I will be happy if Qin can defeat the original country. But what I want to do more when I come here this time is to invite Qin to move to the land of Jiuqu River to create opportunities for future annexations."
The Zhao family had a population of 200,000. Zhao Wuji actually wanted to annex the Qin State? It was not that he was too ambitious, but he simply expected that after the original attack on the Qin State, the Qin State would never feel better, and
I believe I can do it with my own talents.
In Zhao Wushe's expectation, even if the Qin State could maintain a population of six to seven million people after the attack, the Qin family surnamed Ying would inevitably become unpopular due to the decline of the country's power.
The reason why the Lu family with the surname Jiang in the past lost their country was almost the same. The appointment of treacherous officials first consumed a wave of prestige, and the main reason was that they were repeatedly attacked by the Zhi family and were unable to fight back.
So what if the Zhao family ended up like this? Zhao Wuji believed that it was not his fault. On the contrary, the Zhao family was recovering under his leadership, which was enough to prove his ability.
"If I can get the Qin State's population of 200,000 to 300,000 people, the land of the Nine Bends of the Great River will indeed be a place with rich products, and there will be a day when I will return to the Jin Dynasty!" Zhao Wuxie no longer had the intention to listen to the Qin State.
What did the monarch and his ministers say?
Not long after the meeting, Zhao Wuji suddenly found Qin Junci and informed him that his tribe was being attacked.
"Who is it?" Qin Junci's face looked a little ugly.
Zhao Wushe replied: "It's Lou Fan."
It is no secret that the Zhao family has been at war with Lou Fan.
Qin Junci thought that Zhao Wuxie would say it was the original army, but when he heard that it was Lou Fan, he started to believe it.
"I will lead my troops to attack Loufan. When the crisis is over, I will return to help in the battle." Zhao Wushe said.
If something happens to your family, don't blame me for not staying, right?
The monarchs and ministers of the Qin State certainly could not force them to stay, and could only watch Zhao Wuxie leave with his army.
Is it true that Lou Anners attacked the migrating Zhao family on behalf of their country? It really happened.
The Zhao family wanted to move the whole country, and it was impossible to make the movement smaller, but Zhao Guanji was not so ambitious as to take away all the fighting soldiers. In view of the fact that Lou Fan's organization was more disorganized, the remaining troops
It's enough to carry the floor and be annoying.
Of course, the main reason was that all the cavalry that Zhao Guanshe took with him, and at least one man and two cavalrymen, knew that the migrating team was in danger and could return in time.
"Your Majesty, the matter of inducing the State of Qin to go to Jiuqu..."
"Let the Qin army fight with the original army. I will come back when the time is right."
