That night, Zhiyao and the others had no time to spare. They needed to summon officers from various armies and give them tasks for tomorrow.
This is the so-called "tactics", who is responsible for which area, how to attack, and how to prepare a plan to deal with any situation encountered.
The Jin State was a military-fruitionist country, but no general had ever stated in detail how to fight before a war. Zhiyao was the first.
In the far south, when Sun Wu commanded the army, he would also explain in detail to the middle and high-level officers of the army what he was going to do, and in particular, he would prepare measures to deal with any situation.
This does not mean that Zhiyao and Sun Wu are tied in status, it can only be said that they are at the forefront of military commanders of the same era.
"Is this going to be a feint attack tomorrow?" Zhi Xuwu was a little confused.
Another person who was surprised was Zhao Huo, who was still a little unconvinced.
The two of them commanded the Jin army to launch an attack on "Puyang" for two or three months. Whether they succeeded or not was one thing. They were probably more familiar with the city defense and troop distribution of "Puyang" than Zhiyao, who had just arrived less than a month ago.
?
About Zhongxing Yinhui's cooperation with Zhiyao to seize "Puyang", only Zhisong and Zhiyao knew about it. The rest of the people, even Zhi Xuwu, the core member of the Zhi family, didn't know, let alone others.
Because there is an internal agent, and Zhong Xingyin, one of the top leaders of the coalition forces, acts as an internal agent, not to mention Zhiyao is fully familiar with what is going on in the city of "Puyang", unless Zhong Xingyin has deceived him, otherwise Zhiyao will know about it.
They are inseparable from each other.
In addition, in recent days, in addition to supervising the construction of siege equipment, Zhiyao also spent a lot of time observing the city defense facilities of "Puyang" City.
I can't say that the current city must be straight and square, it is nothing more than a city wall that surrounds the city. There are not many tricks to defend the city, and it relies on using people to block it.
After figuring out the condition of the "Puyang" city wall, and adding that there are very high-level internal agents in the city, unless Zhiyao is "played" by the Zhongxing family, Zhao family, and Wei family together, how else can Zhiyao not be able to win "Puyang"?
"Where is the outer city?"
Zhiyao could not think of any reason for Zhong Xingyin to "play" himself. Even if he could not capture the capital of Weiguo once, he would at most continue to attack by force, which would not change the trend of the entire war at all.
What really makes Zhiyao need to be wary is that the Zhao family will cause trouble. The fundamental reason is that Zhao Yang is happy to see the Zhi family lose more troops.
Zhi Yao ignored Zhi Xu Wu's question, looked at Zhao Huo and asked, "Are there any doubts?"
Zhao Huo is Zhao Bolu's uncle, and he is also the only elder of the Zhao family who is still active.
"Since the arrangement of the Central Army General and the Central Army Assistant is like this, Huo Huo dare not disobey." Zhao Huo was unconvinced and did not dare to disobey the order. He could only express that he would cooperate, but he had doubts.
Zhiyao stopped staring at Zhao Huo, looked around at everyone, and repeated: "Who has any doubts?"
The juniors went to "Linzi" with Zhiyao for a while. The process seemed extremely hard and thrilling, but the result was extremely beautiful. They must have more confidence in Zhiyao.
The older generation did not personally participate in the military operations of Zhiyao and others, but Zhiyao had an outstanding record of defeating the coalition forces of the princes twice. Most people were full of expectations, and only a few people who were particularly confident in themselves felt uneasy.
answer.
Whether accepting or opposing, no one said anything.
Zhiyao glanced at Zhixuwu, who was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head respectfully.
"That's it, go down and get ready." Zhiyao said.
Just now, Zhixuwu felt that Zhiyao's look was full of majesty, and he didn't feel embarrassed in his heart. On the contrary, he was extremely happy.
It's not that Zhi Xuwu has a tendency to "receive", it's purely that he believes from the bottom of his heart that the more dignified Zhi Yao is, the better. It also means that he doesn't support the wrong person.
The next day.
Zhi Yao, who had slept for about two hours, got up early. When she woke up, she realized that Zhao Bolu, Wei Ju and Han Geng had been waiting outside the tent for a while.
Looking at the mental outlook of several people, it was obvious that they were so nervous that they had insomnia.
Zhiyao understands it very well, really.
It is difficult to fall asleep when you are stressed, and you may wake up soon after falling asleep. You have to wake up and fall asleep all night, and your body will collapse due to poor sleep quality for a long time.
"Don't do this. We can trap the capital of Qi, but it's easy to defeat the capital!" Zhiyao encouraged them.
Zhao Bolu was the first to respond again, saying: "Having said that, there are nearly 40,000 enemies in the capital city. The generals of the central army and the assistant of the central army led their troops to besiege them for three months, but they have not made an inch of progress..."
Let’s just say, Zhao Bolu is a stick!
One sentence not only included Zhizhu, but also his biological father Zhao Yang.
Wei Ju and Han Geng were not focused on what Zhao Bolu said. They wanted to know why Zhiyao could maintain such a good state of mind and seemed to be in good spirits even if she could sleep.
"Everyone just does his duty. Taking the capital is another achievement for us." Zhiyao once again showed confidence.
The time must be approaching Mao hour? In the military camp, as usual, the soldiers and their retinues got up early to occupy the pits and make fires and cook meals.
The soldiers who will participate in the battle today will be awakened at around two o'clock in the morning. The more sophisticated soldiers will freshen up. More soldiers will check the equipment they need to use, eat the morning meal and wait for the order to assemble and march to the formation.
It was pitch dark just now, and there was no moon. We could only observe the number of clouds from the distribution of stars.
Zhiyao and a group of friends had a morning meal and came outside the tent again. The eastern sky had already turned bright. As if to predict that today would be a bloody day, the morning sun showed a blood-red color.
According to the old saying, if there is a morning glow, it means it is not far away from rain.
There are indeed a lot of clouds in the sky, but they look white and there are no black clouds.
Why is it that when there is morning glow, it is not far from rain? As the old saying goes: If the morning glow does not go out, the sunset will travel thousands of miles.
As for whether the old saying is reliable or not... there must be some basis for it.
At about Chen time, the participating troops of the Jin army were already in place, and all the corresponding siege equipment had been pulled up.
Zhiyao and his friends had arrived outside the northern city of "Puyang" early.
Why didn't you play the general drum? We don't pay attention to this nowadays.
Last night, they had made it very clear how to defeat Zhiyao. When they gathered again in the morning, each of them asked the senior officers involved in the war to repeat their responsibilities. If a war was to begin, they must not continue to gather together.
Since the defense capital "Puyang" was besieged by the Jin army, it could only calm down on the very few days when there was no fighting. Otherwise, the Jin army would set up their formation early every day, and the coalition forces would numbly go to the city wall to prepare for a new day of defensive operations.
Standing on the northern section of the city wall of "Puyang", Zhongxing Yinzai watched the Jin troops in formation from a distance, with very complicated emotions in his eyes.
It has been three years since the civil war broke out in the Jin State. At first, the Fan family and the Zhonghang family seemed to be in good condition. However, in just one year, they were defeated and Zhongxing Yin and Shi Jishe had to live in other countries.
The situation was really too bad. Zhong Xingyin and Shi Jishe did not become more united because of the bad situation. On the contrary, the contradiction between the two became more and more acute, to the point where they were no longer willing to live together in the same city in the near future.
Now Shijishe is on the side of "Xinzheng", intending to borrow troops from the Zheng State to counterattack the Jin State, and then unite the military forces of Fan's cities in the area near the river that have not been captured yet to carry out the most thorough and desperate struggle.
The contradiction between Shijishe's Zhongxing Yin lies in one point, that is, he believes that Zhongxing has betrayed his alliance with Fan and is unwilling to resist with the most determined attitude, and he hopes that Zhi can save Zhongxing.
After the two parted ways, not only did they not see each other again, they also lost contact with each other.
The reason why Zhongxingyin trusted Zhisong was not because Zhisong only made empty promises. It was a fact that Zhishi protected Zhongxingqi, and Zhishi publicly stated that some of the cities he had occupied were in Zhongxingqi.
under the control of.
The princes were obviously taking advantage of the Fan family and the Zhongxing family, especially as the situation developed, showing perfunctory and disrespectful behavior. Under the premise of being able to choose, the Zhongxing Yin Juedi election may be revived in Jin.
It’s not about running headlong into a dead end without looking back.
In the final analysis, Zhong Xingyin knew very well that he was a loser and that he could die. He did not want his family to end up destroyed if there was even the slightest possibility.
The sound of drums appeared on the battlefield.
Previously, Zhong Xingyin did not find the position of the command center of the Jin army, mainly because although Zhiyao obtained the command of the entire army, he did not have the qualifications to erect a large banner.
The person who has the qualifications to establish the Great Banner of the Jin Army is Zhishuo. The Great Banner will not fall into the hands of that person just because of who takes over the command of the Jin Army.
"So it's here..." Zhong Xingyin saw a chariot. He was too far away and couldn't see clearly who was standing on the carriage. He knew in his heart that one of the people must be Zhiyao.
The Jin army beat the war drum, indicating that the attack was about to begin.
Zhong Xingyin glanced at the city wall and called a few people to whisper a few instructions. He himself went down the city wall to the city gate, and found the Zhong Xing family officer who was responsible for guarding the city wall to give instructions.
Today, the Zhonghang clan is responsible for the defense of the northern city wall of "Puyang". Including the monarchs and ministers of the Wei Kingdom and other allies, they never thought that the Zhonghang clan would backstab.
After all, judging from the current situation, the Fan family and the Zhongxing family should have gone all the way to the dark side, how could they possibly betray their allies.
The Jin army surrounding "Puyang" launched attacks from four directions at the same time!
To the north, a hundred meters away, there is a siege tower being pulled by oxen. The number of Jin troops lined up is about ten thousand, and it seems that they are all Zhishi's troops.
The city walls in other directions have begun to be filled with arrows, but not a single arrow has been shot here in the north.
It's hard to say whether Wei Junyuan was sick due to worry or was already sick. He came to Zhangtai in the palace city with his illness and took advantage of the height of the terrain to observe the battlefield. At first, he thought it was because of his poor eyesight, but later he saw the Jin Dynasty in the north.
The troops climbed up the city wall without encountering any resistance, especially as the Jin troops began to enter from the northern city wall gates. At first, they felt greatly shocked, and then they felt a little bad.
On the north side, Zhongxing's soldiers did not attack Zhi's soldiers at all. Even after Zhi's troops entered the city, Zhongxing's soldiers tore off their family crests and carried Zhi's battle flag.
The two armies carried out a "meeting" act that was astonishing to see, and then...
