I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 164 So Zhishen Is So Unfathomable?

Then again, if the Fox family had a good brain, they wouldn't have returned to Jin to stir up this muddy water.

So, what happened to the Fox family who did not return to the state of Jin in the original history?Because he didn't have any bad or good side for Zhu Xia, it means that there will be no historical events in the history books, and the Fox family actually disappeared quietly in the end.

Zhiyao's friendship with Huyou is mediocre.

The Zhi family doesn't have much to do with the Fox family.

Therefore, if Zhiyao has no good or bad intentions, just wait for Hu's performance and sit and watch Zhao's reaction.

In many cases, you should not be cheap when you should not operate, or you will do more and make more mistakes. Zhiyao still deeply understands this truth.

If the Fox family really grabs the show, that is their own choice.

It's already going that way, what kind of drama is Zhiyao forced to add!
They walked "Mengjin" to the south bank of the Dahe River, and went around a circle to a place called "Zhi".

This place belonged to Zheng State's sphere of influence very early on, and then it was under the control of Jin State for a few years. The needs of the current situation made Jin State choose to build a city here, and named it "Hulao".

Later, the hegemony between Jin State and Chu State subsided, and in view of Zheng State's submission to Jin State, Jin State's monarchs and ministers also presented the "Hulao" to Zheng State.

Although Zhao Yang is currently full of evil spirits, he led the army to Zheng Guo to vent his anger. He must have retained a considerable amount of reason. Regaining control of the "Tiger Prison" will be a very strategic option.

Zheng Guo's reaction was a bit like that.They carried out a strategic contraction, did not leave heavy troops in the north at all, and shrank back to the surrounding area of ​​"Xinzheng".

Then, Zheng Junsheng sent a man named Ziyue to the "Hulao" which was once again under the control of the Jin army, seeking forgiveness.

Zi said?That's really Ziyue, these two will be very tall in the future, but now it's just a name.

Zhiyao, Wei Ju, Han Geng, and Hu You were not qualified to participate in the meeting because they did not have official official positions, and they only found out what was discussed afterward from the adults of each family.

In short, it is nothing more than Zheng Guo re-admitting his counsel, asking Jin for forgiveness, and willing to re-establish an alliance with Jin.

Good thing, isn't it?

First, the Kingdom of Wei surrendered again, and then the Kingdom of Zheng renewed the covenant, which means that the Kingdom of Jin is restoring its hegemony.

It stands to reason that Zhao Yang should be happy, maybe he is also a little happy in his heart?However, he believed that the alliance treaty proposed by Zheng Guo lacked sincerity. He not only asked Zheng Guo to make a "sacrifice alliance" with Jin State, but also asked Zheng Junsheng to hand over some nobles to Jin State by name.

As for the matter of Jin regaining control of the "Tiger Prison"?Jin's rearrangement of the garrison is tantamount to restoring the control of the "Tiger Prison", and there is no need to mention it in the negotiation process.

What is that "Alliance of Sacrifice"?The so-called "sacrifice" is the animal slaughtered for sacrifice.A covenant of this level must require Zheng Junsheng to be present, and Jin Junwu of the Jin Kingdom must also attend the meeting.

Zhao Yang mentioned the "Alliance of Sacrifice" in one meaning: where is your monarch?Let him roll over here!If he doesn't come, I will lead the army to "Xinzheng" in person!

Ziyue didn't want the Jin army to continue going south at all, but he couldn't make the decision on Zheng Junsheng's behalf. He asked Zhao Yang to wait for the news in the "Hulao", but he himself went back to the capital immediately to report.

Envoy Zheng Guo had just left, and Zhao Yang held a meeting some time later.

"How can I follow the words of the Zheng people? The army pulled out the camp and forced the capital of Zheng immediately." Zhao Yang said so.

That's right, not to mention Zheng Guo's envoy, even if Zheng Junsheng personally mentioned it, why did Jin's "Yuan Rong" obey as if he was ordered.

Wei Lu looked at Zhishen, and was puzzled to see the absolute calm from all aspects of Zhishen.

The intention of their going south this time was a political one, and they would not contribute to the attack on "Wen". Crossing the river to the south bank is already a bit beyond the standard, so why do they still have to force troops to force Zheng Guo's capital?
Zhishen's tranquility is not a matter of confidence, he is living a very happy life, and Zhiyao has to worry about family affairs, and at the same time, Zhiyao is also making decisions about what Zhishi should do to the outside world.

So, what Zhishen was thinking was that Zhiyao had mentioned earlier that no matter what Zhao Yang wanted this time, he would neither oppose nor support it.That's the original intention, why do you make more expressions?

"'Yuan Rong'." Han Buxin saw that Wei Lu and Zhishen remained silent, and even Hu Jie was eager to try, so he had to remind: "This time there is only one 'army' and four 'divisions' going south."

To be honest, for other countries, nearly [-] troops are already too many, but for Jin, it can only be regarded as an average number.

Han Buxin will remind, because one of the "army" inside is from the Zhao family.

The quality of the Zhao family's "army" is mostly worrying. The other families are just going through the motions. Once they are too impulsive and lose, plus Zhao Yang's failure on the west bank of Shaoshui last time, not only the good situation belonging to Jin will be lost. , Zhao will also fall into a new dilemma.

Wei Xu glanced at Zhishen again, and found that Zhishen was still calm, and couldn't help thinking: "Did Zhishen be wrongly estimated before?"

What do you mean?
It was nothing more than Zhao Yang's choice and Han Buxin's persuasion with too much information. Wei Lu was deeply shocked. Seeing that Zhishen remained calm, he felt magnanimous.

Zhao Yang, who chose to continue going south, was not only trying to vent his anger, but was completely discovering the weakness of Zheng Guo, so he made progress to achieve some political goals and restore his reputation.

Han Buxin's persuasion seems to be not to give Zhao Yang face, but another understanding is that he does not want Zhao Yang to mess up the good situation and end up losing everything.

Zhao Yang, who was silent for a while, looked at Wei Lu and asked, "What does the general think?"

"..." Wei Lu was not very good.

Zhao Yang looked at Zhishen again, and asked again: "Shang Jun Zuo?"

Zhishen said blankly: "What will happen, what will happen."

Zhao Yang looked at Hu Jie for the last time and asked, "Would you like to go south?"

Hu Jie felt that he was being respected, and said with a smile, "I would like to obey Zhao Meng's order."

How could there be such a scene before?Generally, Zhao Yang can do whatever he wants, without asking other people's opinions at all.

Now Zhao Yang will ask, is it really the strength of several high-ranking families that have changed, and then Zhao Yang's prestige has been greatly hit.

"Zheng Guo is afraid of me (Jin Guo), why not form an alliance for his benefit?" Zhao Yang's words are a bit interesting.

It seems that Zheng Guo will surrender without a fight this time, and return to its previous style as an old surrendering country.

Such a state of Zheng is not trustworthy, and it is only proper to force them to pay compensation, lest the state of Zheng fall back to other countries in the near future.

Han Buxin said: "If you go south, you don't believe that you need to send reinforcements from home."

If Zhiyao was present, it would be clear at a glance that Han Buxin was singing a double reed with Zhao Yang!
Hu Jie originally wanted to make a show, and immediately responded: "Xie can call another 'teacher' here."

Wei Hao, who has been observing Zhishen, decides to continue observing.

Zhao Yang looked at Wei Lu first, and found that Wei Lu's gaze was on Zhishen, and then turned his gaze to Zhishen.

Zhishen was still the old god, but not a single word came out of his mouth.

"What's going on here?" Zhao Yang didn't understand what Wei Lu meant by staring at Zhishen all the time.

In the past, when Zhibi was alive, Zhishi was the eldest brother in the alliance between Zhishi and Weishi; after Zhibi was gone, Wei Lu took up the banner and became the big brother of the alliance between Weishi, Zhishi and some middle-class nobles.

Now Zhao Yang puts more energy on Wei Lu, just to keep an eye on what Wei Lu is going to do. Once Wei Lu wants to do something, he will definitely need Zhi Shi's cooperation.

There was an eerie silence in the big tent.

Fox Jie, who was the first to express his opinion, found that the atmosphere had become weird, and his mood changed from excited to a little uneasy.

Zhishen finally found that Wei Lu had been staring at him, and said in a low voice, "If the general has any objections, Shen will agree."

Their seats are connected, and they turned sideways to get closer, and they could still whisper in their ears with a low voice.

"..." Seeing Zhishen's sincerity in such behavior, Wei Lu wondered if he was overthinking something.

There is a rumor about the Zhi family. As the head of the family, Zhi Shen doesn't care about things, and the big and small things are arranged by the son Zhi Yao.

A lot of people don't believe that rumor at all.The reason is that the head of the family in the Spring and Autumn Period is the god of everyone in the family, unless he wants the son to ascend the throne quickly, or he doesn't want to stay anymore, otherwise the head of the family will obey everything no matter how stupid he is.

This kind of thing would be considered unreasonable by modern people. The problem lies in the Spring and Autumn Period...even after a long time, similar phenomena actually exist.

Zhao Yang's face darkened for a moment, and he said, "For the increase of troops, you should send people to recruit. Don't delay the matter of going south, let's break out of the camp immediately."

Just now Wei Lu was patronizing Zhishen, and Zhishen made a fuss again, and he didn't respond at all to whether he wanted to send more troops.

Should have said something, Han Buxin saw that the atmosphere was weird, so he held back and decided to stick to it.

In the end, it was Zhao Yang who made the decision, and Hu Jie, who was the first to express his opinion, became alert.

What's a little weird is that Hu Jie simply felt that something was wrong, and he didn't even know how to prevent unknown dangers.

The Jin army went south, and they were surprised to find that none of the Zheng people were in the cities or villages, and even if there were Zheng people, they were hiding in the mountains and forests.

Zhao Yang sent people to arrest several Zheng people, and the information he got was that he had arranged to relocate earlier, in order to fear that the Jin army would take people captive again.

"I heard that Zhi and Wei were abducted by the Jin army earlier, and Zheng Guofang was worried about this..." Gubu Ziqing felt that Zhiyao and Wei Ju were very good at playing.

Zhao Yang blinked cutely. He only knew that the last time Zhiyao and Wei Ju led an army south to attack Zheng Guo, he really didn't know that they just ran away when they saw people.

As for saying that it does not conform to the rules of the war of gentlemen?Zheng Jun himself has done the thing of looting crops from other countries during the war. Is it worthy of other people to teach them the rules?

They approached "Hanling" all the way, that is, they were still about forty or fifty miles away from "Xinzheng". Ziyue, who had left before, came to see him again, saying that Zheng Junsheng was waiting in the city of "Hanling".

"The widow's intentions are sincere!" Zi said, poking his neck, and said, "Why did you leave the 'Zhi' and go south without telling me?"

Good guy, really good guy!

Is it a lie that Zheng Guojun and his ministers think that the rituals have collapsed and music is broken now?

What they are facing is Zhao Yang who will kill his relatives who even come to the door for the ceremony!
