I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 160 Which Play Is This?
Originally, Zhiyao could do more, but the problem is that Zhao Wuxie played an armed parade, which not only disgusted Wei Ju, but Zhiyao was actually the one who felt the most disgusting.

"Yao sent Zhao's 'division' to the west. The original intention was to attract the enemy first, and wait for me and Yao to tear apart Zheng Guo's army, and then go west to find an opportunity to annihilate it. In this way, Zheng Guo can be weakened no matter how powerful it is, and it can also occupy the big river. To the south, do not make mistakes in the trapped enemy army."

After Wei Ju returned to the country, he was ordered to lead the army back, so he considered for a while and really led the army away.

He has now come to the western border of the state of Jin, and reported to Wei Lu the gains and losses of his journey to the south when he arrived in "Wei".

The state of Jin has been disgusted by the state of Qin several times in a row. Whenever it fights against anyone, it will be more defensive. Last time Han Buxin led the army to garrison, but this time it was replaced by Wei Lu.

It may be due to the pain of being beaten. The Qin State has not traveled eastward for a long time, and has been living in a corner on the west side for more than 30 years.

Now Qin State is similar to Beiyan, which is almost equivalent to losing contact with the Central Plains.

Speaking of Northern Yan, it mainly refers to Wei, Cao, Song and Zheng countries. There is also a Yan country on the edge, which is called Nan Yan.

So, what is Qin Guo doing now?Rong and Di in the west of them became active again, and Yiqu violated the border from time to time, so that Qin had no extra energy to participate in the struggle among the nations.

In fact, the most important point is that Chu State weakened, and Qin State was really beaten by Jin State.Qin State has lost an important ally, and its own strength is really worrying. Jumping again is nothing more than provoking Jin State to send troops to fight again.

When will Qin Guo stand up again?In the original history, it was when Shang Yang entered the Qin Dynasty and seized the Hexi land of Wei State.

At this stage?It's better for Qin Guo to continue to play cats, otherwise he will definitely be beaten violently again.

It was precisely because Qin State was honest, otherwise it would not have been Han Buxin who visited the western border of Jin State last time.

what reason?At that time, the Han family was continuously defeated in the battles with the Fan family and the Zhongxing family. The Zhao family and the Wei family disliked the Han family's repeated delays, so they sent Han Buxin to the west of Jin to guard against Qin.

This time, there was another reason for Wei Xu to sit in the western border of the Jin Kingdom. It was also not because of any changes in the Qin Kingdom. Task.

"So, the coalition forces have withdrawn to the south bank of the river?" Wei Lu didn't hide it at all, and laughed out loud after speaking.

Wei Ju said: "Because of Fan Gaoyi, my family won many cities before going to war. The Zhao family did not have such a situation, and they were still trapped in the 'Wen' land."

The progress of the situation is that the Zhi family involved Fan Gaoyi, not only the Zhi family easily obtained a batch of population and various resources, but even the Wei family won two-thirds of the strategic goals without loss.

On the contrary, "Wen", who is still defending with heavy troops, is a little dumbfounded. A strong attack will inevitably cause heavy losses to the Zhao family, and it will make the Zhao family appear incompetent if it is not fought.

If the Zhao family can't conquer "Wen", it is not safe to take the rest of the Fan family's cities.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the Zhao family was stuck in the strategic location of "Wen".

Because Mrs. Zhao has nothing to do with "Wen", not only is Mrs. Zhao unable to reap the rewards, but it will even make people see Mrs. Zhao's weakness.

Once everyone thinks that Zhao is weak, no matter how strong Zhao Yang is, it will become very funny. Not only will it not scare people, but it will also make people feel like a clown.

It was Zhao Yang himself who caused the current situation. He was the one who strongly advocated attacking the Fan family and the Zhongxing family, and no one pushed them away.

If you want to talk about others, you can only say that it has a great relationship with Zhiyao, and Han Buxin of the Han family played a role.

Of course, Zhiyao didn't personally attack the Zhao family, but just did some things to make the most of the situation.

Being able to make the best use of the situation is exactly what Zhiyao is good at, but I don't know if anyone has noticed it.

Counting this time, it is the third time that Jin has been interfered by the princes.

In the first two times, the Jin State undoubtedly won the victory, especially when the Wei State was surrendered again, and for various reasons, the Qi State also suffered the consequences.

Wei Lu seemed to be prophesying, and said: "The Fan family is dead."

Wei Ju was not stupid, and echoed, "Since there are all Gaoyi, why can't Shiji shoot to death?"

At present, Shijishe is in "Wen", and there are more than [-] troops under his command.

The more than 2 people under Shijishe's command must have gathered from other cities, and then the hometown of this group of troops is already under the control of the Wei family.

In the current era, losing the fief is a fatal blow to the nobles. They are the real nobles if they have the fief.

Wei Hua asked: "This time going south, how many people have Yao received?"

This Wei Ju couldn't answer the correct data, he hesitated and said: "Skipping the people of Chu, there are about [-] to [-] people from Zheng?"

Wei's trip to Zheng State also yielded results. He marched almost armed and arrested more than 4000 Zheng people.

"You return to 'Xintian' immediately and give four thousand to the Zhi family." Wei Lu said with a smile.

Wei Ju was a little unhappy.

This time, Wei's overpayment of taxes was not just about gaining, he paid nearly 7000 or [-] casualties, and the rest of the materials were also counted.

"There is a saying in the poem, 'Throw me a peach, and repay it with a plum'." Wei Lu was talking about a sentence in "The Book of Songs. Daya. Yi".

Wei Ju reluctantly replied, "No."

"As you said, Wuji is a gloomy generation. There was 'Yuan Rong' before, and this person later, can An not be close to Zhishi?" Wei Lu felt that the heir he had chosen lacked atmosphere, and ignored the importance of friendship. Things that come and go.

Jia Zhiyao took Wei Ju to play several times in a row, and every time Wei Ju more or less got either a loot or a prestige.

He didn't express it before because he didn't need it, but now the Wei family needs to let people know that they are very close to the Zhi family, not to mention just sending [-] slaves, more is also possible.

"If it's feasible, you need to make Yao hate Wushi." Wei Xu said.

Speaking of this, Wei Ju will understand!

Not to mention that after this time, Wei Ju himself didn't have much affection for Zhao Wuxie.

Wei Xu said again: "The people of Song Dynasty told me that Wu Faqi won the victory, and he intends to go north to spy on me (Jin State)."

Now the Wei family is in charge of Song's diplomatic relations. The difference from before is that they can't collect protection fees. Song people think it will be beneficial and will disclose some news to Wei.

Wei Ju didn't understand why Wei Lu wanted to talk about this.

"If Zhiyao's words and deeds are the same, knowing that the state of Wu is about to go north, the Zhi family will definitely help the Zhao family." Wei Xu said before that the Fan family's demise was not because Shi Gaoyi set up a new family, but this is what he was talking about.

He said again: "Master Zhi is interested, how can my family just sit back and watch?"

Wei Ju asked: "Will 'Yuan Rong' use it privately because of this matter?"

That is to say, because of the different situation, Zhao Yang's private use of public equipment will be redefined.

The current state of Wu has too much momentum. They went north to challenge the state of Jin. As a result, the state of Jin was still trapped in a civil war and was unable to face Wu Jun's northward engagement. Of course, the Zhao family would be the culprit, but the key was the rest of the state of Jin. The family will not feel good either!

There are some things that Wei Lu can't say clearly, even to his own son.

For example, a weak Zhao family is a good Zhao family, which does not mean that the Zhao family should perish.

Then, the Wei family is not going up or down now, it's good to play with the Zhi family, but we can't make the Zhi family too strong.

Now that the Zhi family has the power to be the only one, the Wei family has only two ways to go, either follow the Zhi family regardless of their own interests, or part ways with the Zhi family.

"Ju doesn't have the ability to compete with Zhiyao. For the time being, there is no sign that Zhiyao has any signs of destroying competitors like Zhao Yang, but we have to guard against it. Since Zhao Wuji wants to be different from Zhiyao, let's first look at Zhao Wuji's ability. , really have the ability to compete with Zhiyao, then my family will have to help secretly." Wei Xuan thought to himself.

Most families are now in a lean situation.

Of course, the incumbent Patriarchs may not all be very capable, the comparison is just who is the worst.

After Wei Ju returned to "Xintian" with the mission, he sent someone to Zhi's mansion to inform first, wondering that Zhiyao was not in "Xintian".

At the same time, Zhishen, the head of the Zhi family, was not in "Xintian".

This situation seems a bit weird.

After all, the state of Jin had just gone through a major war, and Zhishen, as a "Qing", did not stay in the capital, and many things would be difficult without a "Qing".

"Why does the Zhi family have no one to make decisions at this time and stay in the 'capital'?" Wei Ju wanted to get an answer from the retainers who had been staying in the 'Xintian'.

Lu Shuo replied: "I heard that 'Handan' is urgent?"

Wei Ju began to think about whether to go to "Handan", but on second thought, he felt that the timing was a bit inappropriate.

The country has just ended a major war, and visiting here and there can feel precarious.

Lu Shuo said again: "There is a rumor that the son of the Zhao family will return to the 'capital', and he will apologize to the Zhi family the next day."

Hearing this, Wei Ju was taken aback.

"Is it 'Yuan Rong' who asked Zhao Wuji to apologize? It's because Zhao Wuji didn't go west from 'Evil Cao', which caused me and Zhiyao to directly retreat back to the country, and didn't participate in the 'Battle of Wen' again?" Wei Ju was a little bit thought uncertainly.

That time, Zhiyao and Wei Ju directly led the troops back to their respective homes. Outsiders understood that they were cheated by Zhao Wuxie in Zheng Guo.

Regardless of the facts, anyway, the Jin army led by Zhao Yang stopped in the north of "Wen", and the coalition forces retreated back to the south bank of the river without any danger, which meant that a golden opportunity to wipe out the coalition forces was lost.

"Isn't it right? 'Yuan Rong' asked Zhao Wuxie to apologize, shouldn't he come to me to apologize? Zhao wanted to use Zhao Wuxie's apology to expose that mistake, is it so easy? And so far, 'Yuan Rong' has not There is no explanation for the fiasco of Shaoshui West Bank." Wei Ju felt that Zhao was playing tricks.

About an hour later, Zhao Wuxie, who learned that Wei Ju had returned to "Xintian", really came to Wei's mansion.

What is inappropriate is that Zhao Wuxie didn't send someone to notify him in advance, and he came directly.

In the current era, a formal visit is really not just a matter of going, it needs to be notified in advance to give the visitor time to prepare for the reception.

If some etiquettes do not follow the formal process, it is almost like a joke, and it is easy to make enemies with each other.

Wei Ju came out to greet Zhao Wuxie when he arrived at the door.

Zhao Wuxie apologized as expected.

"Who is this looking down on? Is this how you apologize!?" Wei Ju didn't understand what Zhao was doing, and he was very upset, and his face became a little gloomy.

　The thank you list will be posted in the next chapter.In addition, I have always been in a state of lack of sleep recently, and I am simply dizzy!
