I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 136 A Nutritious Nutrient
"Although Zhiyao is the youngest present, it seems that he is the leader?" Hu You thought.

This year Zhiyao is 16 years old, and she will be crowned in another six years.

Among the group of second generations, Zhao Bolu was originally the oldest, but with Hu You, a messy guy, he became the oldest Hu You.

The youngest but able to become the leader of a gang of second generations?Hu You thought of Zhiyao defeating the coalition of princes twice in a row, and leading a group of second generations into the capital of Qi State to plunder ritual objects. He understood that who is the leader has nothing to do with age, but ability.

"I said that my family is naturally at odds with the Zhao family, and returning to the country is an extremely risky move. If there is no confrontation between the Zhi family and the Wei family, my family will definitely not return to the country. Now that my family is backed by the monarch, the next thing we should do is to make peace with the Zhi family. The Wei family has formed an alliance!" Hu You was a little surprised that Zhiyao had found a place for Zhao Bolu.

Just now, Zhishi, even if Huyou can win, he will pretend to lose. Firstly, there is no need to deepen the hatred with Zhao, and secondly, it is to give Zhishi a face. The most important thing is that if he loses, he can take the opportunity to sneak into the circle of the second generation in.

The reason is not complicated. The Fox family has just returned to the state of Jin. If you don't keep a low profile, you can't keep a low profile. A social channel always needs to be established. Starting from the contact of the second generation will be the correct way to open up the situation.

They are waiting for Zhiyao's reply on whether they will or will go on an expedition.

Zhiyao shook her head under everyone's gaze, and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to go out."

It was a big deal for Jin to send troops from Chu to the north again. They just beat up the Man family, and it was nothing to occupy the Man family's territory. It became a threat to the southwest of Jin State, and Jin State should react no matter what.

The Zhi and Wei clans had some fiefdoms in the southwest of Jin, but the Zhongxing clan's fiefdoms in the southwest were assigned to the Han clan, resulting in the Han clan having the most fiefdoms in the southwest.

On the premise that Zhao Yang is "Yuan Rong", especially since he has just assumed the status of "Yuan Rong", even if the Zhao family has no fiefdom in the southwest of the Jin Kingdom, the Zhao family should still take action.

The most critical problem now is that the Zhao family is entangled by the Fan family, and it is difficult for them to dispatch a large number of troops to deal with the northward movement of the Chu army.

The Wei family also stayed with the Fan family endlessly, and could not spare any troops to deal with it.

The Zhi family has just undergone a change of patriarch. Whether it is custom or common sense, it is a social consensus not to send troops.

Why?Just because Zhishen just took over the management of Zhishi, many things are in the transitional stage. All families need to understand the situation Zhishi is facing now. Everyone is inconvenient to send troops right after the funeral. Yes!

Of course, it would be a different situation if it were Zhishi who took the initiative to ask to join the war.

No matter what, the Han family can't escape becoming the main force to deal with the Chu army's northward march, and they will admit it if they don't.

Because Zhiyao has not experienced the era of successive wars between Jin State and Chu State, and he is not a "pure" Jin person, and he really doesn't understand the various obsessions of Jin people for Chu State.

Therefore, after Zhiyao finished speaking, she was a little bit distracted when she saw the disappointment on their faces.

"In a few years, it is estimated that the Wu Congress will challenge the Jin State, and then I will take you to play." Zhiyao thought.

They are Jin people, or the second generation of various big families, and the topics they talk about are inevitably related to military affairs.

Huyou, who has just arrived for the first time, can understand very limited even if he listens to it, and sometimes he doesn't even understand what is being said at all.

Zhao Wuji, who has been silent all this time, tried his best to hide his envy. I don't know if the idea of ​​replacing Zhao Bolu has become stronger at this moment?

just right?Zhao Wuxie has a good sense of Zhao Bolu's heart, and he is even touched in many cases.

Taking Zhao Wuxie to have a seat on this occasion as an example, it is enough to see that Zhao Bolu still takes good care of Zhao Wuxie's half-brother.

So, did Zhao Bolu realize the threat Zhao Wuxie posed to his heir apparent?Absolutely.

Since Zhao Bolu knows that Zhao Wuji is challenging him, he is willing to play with him on some occasions, and even gives Zhao Wuji more respect than his status as a bastard, I really don't know whether to say that Zhao Bolu is too big, or Zhao Bolu is really simple and honest.

They chatted and chatted until the evening before ending.

Before they each parted, Zhao Bolu led a horse and approached Zhiyao and handed over the rein, saying: "This is a good horse, only one out of a thousand horses can get one."

Zhao Bolu's action language is very obvious, he wants to present a good horse to Zhiyao as a gift.

In other words, what Zhiyao heard before was that Huyou didn't pay at all, and Ma also went through four hands in a short period of time. Will Zhiyao pay the bill later?

This horse looks a bit peculiar. The height of the horse's back is about 1.3 meters. The body of the horse is slender, the tendons of the limbs are well developed, and the dark coat color is even more shiny. It is absolutely reliable to call it a BMW.

Zhiyao fell in love with this horse when she saw it, and she took the reins and went up to stroke the horse's neck, thinking that it would be rude to take it or not.

"Obviously it's not a Central Plains horse, maybe it's a horse breed from further west? So, today's move is very likely to be specially set up by the Fox family." Zhiyao can almost predict it.

They parted ways and went home.

Zhiyao, who returned home, specifically asked her husband to take good care of the stallion, feed it well for a period of time, and find high-quality mares for mating in the estrus season, so as to see what the next generation will look like.

In addition, Zhiyao was reported and did not find the Zheng man.

During the dinner, Zhishen really mentioned the matter of the Chu army going north.

"This time the Han family and the Hu family sent troops, a total of an 'army'. My family is a backup, gathering troops in 'Shangyang' in case the situation turns bad." Zhishen said.

Zhiyao was curious about the composition of the Hu family's army, so she asked.

Zhishen said: "The Fox clan is different from Zhu Xia when they are widowed and they can receive Fu when they are in their prime."

It can be seen that Zhishen is not optimistic about the Fox family, and he also has reasons to despise the Fox family.

The Hu family of Hu Hua lost many customs of Zhu Xia, and some rules seem to be ignored.

Look at what Zhishen said, as long as the Fox family is a mature man, he can receive a gift, which means that he has not undergone formal training at all.

Why did Zhu Xia's family pay attention to "Scholars do not teach, they cannot be recruited"?In addition to wanting to have a better source of soldiers, wars have never been won by relying on individual bravery, but mainly by teamwork to exert combat effectiveness. How can soldiers not understand orders?
So, the so-called "soldiers can't be recruited if they don't teach them" is really not purely teaching killing skills, but actually it is to enable soldiers to understand some basic orders, so that they won't be wooden men on the battlefield or run around blindly at every turn.

Zhiyao decided to take a good look at it when the Fox family assembled its private army to "Xintian", to find out why each family underestimated the Fox family, and to learn about the characteristics of the so-called alien race.

The state of Jin is about to launch a new national war. If the time is not urgent, the private armies of each family must gather outside the city of "Xintian" first, and then take the oath before moving out.

If they are sent to a war zone as reinforcements, the private troops of each family do not need to make a special trip to "Xintian", they must go directly to the war zone.

Zhishen also talked about other things, such as the war between Qi State and Wu State, and then Song State began to invade Cao State. Originally, Zheng State sought forgiveness in private, and the envoy left after knowing that the Chu army had gone north, and many other things.

"In this way, Shijishe may go to Chu." What Zhiyao said was that Shijishe would get mixed up with Chu.

This kind of thing is simply commonplace for Jin or Chu.The situation is that Jin and Chu are fighting for hegemony, and the nobles of the two countries will generally choose to defect to each other if they can't get along in their own countries or want to flee.

A long time ago, a branch of the Que family went to the state of Chu, and they later became the Bo family of the state of Chu.This is considered to be the most famous family from the state of Jin who went to the state of Chu, but it doesn’t mean that it’s the only one; on the other side of the state of Chu, Shen Gongwuchen, who deceived the king of Chu for Xia Ji, defected to the state of Jin. Guo sent to Wu.

When the nobles of the two countries wanted to flee, they chose each other. In fact, they felt that no matter how poor they were, they could not lose face by going to a small country, and chose to go to an equally powerful country.For them, defecting to the rival side of the hegemony is not considered treason, but simply finding another way out.

"My lord, there is a national war, can I leave 'Xintian' and live in 'Handan' for a long time?" Zhiyao asked.

Anyway, the first wave of war this year has nothing to do with the Zhi family. Zhi Yao, who has been dragging on for a long time, really doesn't want to stay in "Xintian" any longer.

To tell the truth, Zhishen really hopes that Zhiyao can always be by his side, but he also knows that Zhiyao has a lot to do.Those things are not suitable to be carried out in "Xintian", Zhishen can only agree to Zhiyao's work in "Handan" no matter how reluctant he is.

"In the future, 'Handan' will be more important than 'wisdom'. For this reason, I want craftsmen to gather in 'Handan', so that it will be convenient..." Zhiyao began a long story.

Didn't he send people to conduct mineral exploration around "Handan"?A large number of coal mines have been found in the southwest, and there are also several iron mines here; in the south, there is a large amount of high-quality clay.

As for what timber resources or otherwise?Take a look at why Zhiyao believes that "Handan" is the place that Zhishi should pay the most attention to in the future, which shows that other resources are also extremely rich.

"It's a pity that the quality of coal mines and iron ores is not good. If you want to make good use of them, the rest of the supporting technology must keep up." Zhiyao is actually not that disappointed. The mineral resources in Zhuxia are similar.

A month later, the private troops of the Han family and the Fox family, who mainly dealt with the Chu army's northward march, came over.

Zhiyao has met Hu You a lot recently, and after getting acquainted, she can enter the Fox family's barracks openly without prying carefully.

"There is really no shortage of horses, and the Fox family really wants to use the 'single-riding and walking-horse' game, but they have no shortage of Hu Hua problems. The quality of individual soldiers is relatively average, and teamwork is even more messy!" Zhiyao said in a series After observation, such a conclusion was drawn.

At the current historical stage, the nomadic tribes that do not lack horses actually do not have many soldiers who can ride on horseback. People who can ride and shoot on horseback may not be able to enter the battlefield. To put it bluntly, the number is seriously insufficient. Related tactics were not created.

Huyou's family knew about their own family affairs, so they specially explained to Zhiyao: "Since I return to Zhuxia, I will use the laws of Zhuxia. Now time is short, so there is nothing I can do!"

So, they know their own level, and they will take relevant actions later?

But Zhiyao was thinking: "Whether it's the Zhao family or the Zhi family, eating the Hu family will be a great tonic. How should I plan to swallow the Hu family?"
