I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 141 is so simple

The route Zhiyao chose to go to "Gaiyu" was not through the Taihang Mountains.

Although the army has already opened the way first, the mountains and forests are still full of too many uncertainties, and some mountain roads have already been opened, and it will not be a month before they will be covered with various plants again.

Similar things can only be experienced in modern times by going to the tropical rainforest. For the Jin people in the Spring and Autumn Period, they encountered things every minute. The climate of Nanyang, Yueguo and other regions is more like that of the later generations of Nanyang.

For the state of Jin, it's okay to be green and oily. Like the state of Chu, it's all kinds of wet in spring and autumn. Men don't dry their balls every three days, so the days are almost useless.

"The state of Chu attacked the barbarians to occupy their land, yet the state of Jin turned a blind eye to it?" Tian Rangju knew the news, which meant that Zhiyao didn't hide it.

Last year, the state of Chu sent troops to crusade against the Man clan, and it took less than four months to capture the "Man clan" city.

The "Man's" city is one of the only three cities in the Man's family, and it can be regarded as the "capital" level in terms of the culture of Zhuxia. The other two cities are called "Huo" and "Liang".

Tian Rangju only knew that the Jin State did not break out with the Chu State, but did not know that the Han family and the Hu family sent troops together.

As a general in command of the south, Han Buxin spent the whole time watching a show on the north bank of Yishui. Those who knew him knew that he was too cowardly to be cowardly.

Han Buxin has more reasons to be cowardly. One is that the Jin army only dispatched less than one "army", and the Han family is not that capable of fighting; the second is that the Fox family has just returned to Jin, and their combat effectiveness is not trusted; It was Chu who dispatched an army of [-]. When the Jin army reached the north bank of Yishui River and had captured the city of "Manshi", it was precisely the moment when the morale of the Chu army was at its highest.

Those reasons were put in front of Zhao Yang, even though he was pissed off by Han Buxin, he still didn't impose any punishment after all.

Han Buxin's move this time has brought a lot of effects. Apart from proving that the Han family cannot stand alone, it is nothing more than proving once again that Han Buxin is unreliable.

As the "Yuan Rong", Zhao Yang has already sent people to "Ying", the capital of Chu, to ask if the Chu State is going to have trouble with the Jin State, and repeat the previous hegemony situation.

How will Chu State respond?Zhiyao could probably guess it, and even thought that Zhao Yang's actions had exposed the powerlessness of Jin.

If in the past, the state of Jin would not send envoys to the capital of "Ying", it would definitely be the first time to gather an army to go south.

Now?Chaos in the Jin Dynasty hurt a wave of vitality. The Zhao family and the Wei family were entangled by the Fan family. It was clear that the Han family was useless. Reasons for not participating in the national war.

Therefore, in addition to sending envoys to the Chu State for seemingly majestic accountability, Zhao Yang really exposed the fact that there is nothing he can do about Chu State.

Tian Rangju said: "The Fan family is still in the south, and they must collude with the Chu State, and the Jin State may be in trouble."

Zhiyao thought to herself: "Who says it's not?"

The state of Jin, which has revealed that it is difficult to deal with the foreign situation, shows its weakness in front of the state of Chu, and it is really difficult to prevent the state of Chu from making progress.

The state of Jin needs to be thankful that the state of Wu has really risen. Even if the state of Chu intends to go north to compete with the state of Jin, the state of Wu behind it will make the state of Chu regain its composure.

Therefore, when Chu State captured the Man family, they only achieved a strategic advantage to the Jin State. If the Jin State does not quickly change this situation, even if the internal turmoil in Jin is completely subsided later, it will be difficult for the Jin State to relieve Chu State of its own side. strategic threat.

Another point is that the capture of the Man family by the Chu State actually exposed the Zhou royal family directly to the threat of Chu's Bingfeng, so that Chu State's promise to protect the Zhou royal family from the Jin State was only one step away.

There is such a saying that "the phoenix is ​​not as good as the chicken". Jin does not have the strength to carry the banner of the Zhou royal family to show off its power. It will not have any power because Jin once dominated. On the contrary, there are many princes who want to step on Jin. superior.

If that kind of situation is formed, it means that Jin's deterrence against other countries has dropped to a historical freezing point, and if it wants to dominate again, it can only beat all the dissatisfied princes again.

"It is Zhao Yang who is in charge of the military affairs now. Although the external situation is not good for Jin, it is good for my family?" Zhiyao thought.

That is the obvious truth. If Zhao Yang can't let the state of Jin dominate, the Zhao family can't take advantage of the situation. If they want to do things in the country, they will be strongly resisted; Facing the Zhao family, I felt guilty at first, and it was almost the end of Ren Zhao Yang's kneading.

Zhiyao, who heard the news of Han Buxin's actions, suspected that it was intentional.

After all, the Han family was infiltrated by the Zhao family, and if they didn't struggle quickly, they might be easily annexed by the Zhao family one day.

Under this sense of urgency, Han Buxin himself wanted to preserve his strength, and he could still make Zhao Yang a stumbling block. What is losing a little reputation, whichever is the lesser of two evils?

"Gai Yu" in the distance is already in sight, and the city can still be seen under siege.

Speaking of which, Dongshan Heidi's only city is also in the style of Zhuxia, and the city wall is made of rammed earth, which looks like an irregular square.

Zhiyao and others took the "Hukou" to the central and western part of the state of Jin, and then took the route along the east bank of Shaoshui, to the "Yang" that currently belongs to the Wei family, and then all the way east.

Taking such a big turn took far less time than taking the Taihang Mountain route. Most of the way along the way was Zhishi's territory, which more or less allowed Zhiyao to complete his goal of inspecting his own fiefdom.

"You want to imitate King Zhuang of Chu?" Seeing that Zhiyao didn't talk to him, Tian Rangju asked again.

Zhiyao was slightly frightened at first.

King Chuzhuang?That was one of the only two "kings" in the East at that time.

When Zhiyao came to her senses, she said, "If you don't sing, you will already be a blockbuster? Why should Yao be like this."

In fact, Tian Rangju saw that Zhiyao didn't seem to care about the difficulties faced by the Jin State, and asked the Zhi family if he wanted other nobles to see Zhao's incompetence, and then the Zhi family broke out violently to earn enough hearts in the Jin country , Let the nations look at each other with admiration.

Zhiyao's answer is straightforward enough, saying that she has already become a blockbuster.

The result is that Tian Rangju feels that Zhiyao's thinking is not on the same channel as her own.What he asked was whether the Zhi family would make any big moves next time, such as after Zhao Yang was overthrown, Zhishen became the "Yuan Rong" of Jin.

In addition, Zhiyao actually understood, the question is why did she answer Tian Rangju who is not her own?

They came all the way without any accidents.

In many places in the state of Jin, people from the Fan family and the Zhongxing family are still hiding, and those belonging to the Zhongxing family are returning home.

Under the chaos, the chaos will continue for a period of time, which is directly reflected in the wilderness everywhere becoming more unsafe.

Zhiyao's team played under the banner of the Zhi clan, and many people from the Zhongxing clan came to join them from their hiding places on the way.

Fan's and Zhao's feelings of hatred are the greatest. They will hesitate to fight when they see that Zhi's team can fight, so they won't definitely attack like Zhao's team can fight.

In front of the gate, Cheng Shuo led people to greet him, and went to the big tent road to tell Zhiyao about the recent battle situation.

Zilu is no longer directing the attack on "Gai Yu". Their attack on "Gai Yu" was launched six days ago, and they are still in a stage of mutual testing.

"There are about [-] people who go to 'Gai and' Di in the mountains and forests, and there may be nearly [-] in 'Gai and' the city?" Cheng Shuo reported to Zhiyao when he arrived at the tent.

No one can tell what the original population of Dongshan Heidi is, but an unreliable estimate is about 5 to [-]?The vast majority live in forested areas, and some live in the plains in the northwest.

This is because the northwest of Dongshan Heidi is not safe. In addition to the threat from the Jin people, there are also threats from Lou Fan and Qiu You.

The "Gaiyu" they built is a small city, with 6000 or [-] people living in it?

Zhiyao brought people to Zilu, and when she saw people, she pointed out that she was not here to take over the command, and Zilu should do what she should do, so don't worry about them.

The height of the city wall built by Dongshan Heidi is about six meters, and it does not look like a straight line. There are battlements but no parapets. It looks like it has not been studied properly.

Zhiyao had already learned that her own army that came to "Gaiyu" was only two "divisions" in size, and the other "division" was still hunting down Heidi who was hiding in the mountains and forests.

Dealing with Dongshan Heidi is difficult to wipe out, it will take a long time period, it is not about defeating.This is also the reason why the Fan family and Zhongxing family who were able to attack Dongshan Heidi were too lazy to fight, and the Zhao family who was also able to do so did not.

Zhiyao knows how to do it, and capturing labor is only one of them. It is more important to take the opportunity to train the new army.

By the way, why didn't Zhiyao use the new army as an engineering team, or didn't gather the army to use as an engineering team?In the final analysis, now is not the era of junior soldiers.

Maybe it was Zhiyao's coming that made Cheng Shuo and Zilu feel a sense of urgency, or maybe it was because the new army's combat effectiveness was strong.

After the two thought that the temptation was enough, they launched a strong attack on "Gai Yu". There were soldiers from the Zhi family who had mixed in before, and it was only a day. The leader escorted to Zhiyao.

Tian Rangju, who watched the whole process of Kecheng, did not make any comments.

Perhaps in Tian Rangju's view, it is natural for the Zhi family to capture the city, and Dongshan Heidi's combat power is not enough to compete with the Zhi family.

Afterwards, Lao Tzu who accompanied him found Zhiyao and said, "Can you make your ears walk?"

Zhiyao's first thought was: "Master Li wants to use Dongshan Heidi to test Huahu?"

It's just..., there seems to be something wrong?
According to the historical records, Lao Tzu Hua Hu went out of Hangu Pass to Qin State, so Hua Hu seems to be targeting Qin people, right?

The strange thing is that Lao Tzu disappeared immediately after leaving Hangu Pass westward. Not only did the rest of the countries have no follow-up records, there is no record of Lao Tzu leaving Hangu Pass westward in the history of Qin State?
