I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 234

Zhiyao's journey can no longer be simply described as smooth. They repeatedly cleaned up the savages or the local population left behind by Zheng Guo, and then moved to the vicinity of Sishui.

During the first half of the battle, Zheng Guo adopted an attitude of turning a blind eye, hearing and not hearing. Zhiyao and others did not go to attack Dayi, but specifically arrested villages without city walls, and repeatedly swept them down. Thing: This is a group of bandits dressed in the coat of the Jin army!
Zheng Guojun and ministers are really right to understand that, but they can't blame anyone.

If you say which country among the many princes of the Xia Dynasty likes to fight unannounced wars the most, it is undoubtedly Qin.

Zheng Guo was the first country to send out a large army to go to a foreign country and send out a large army to harvest the wheat fields of other countries. The one who suffered was Chen Guo.Zheng Guogan was a little addicted last time, and then he did it again and again.

So, if you do it yourself, others can be unreasonable. Zheng Guo was looted by Zhiyao's army, and whoever knows it will gloat and curse: It deserves it.

Of course, Zheng Guo suffered retribution, and the reputation of Zhiyao and others will definitely be damaged.This is an unavoidable thing, and it is right to be scolded a few times when you get the benefits.

Sishui is to the east of "Xinzheng", which means that Zhiyao led the army from the north of Zheng to the east, and one of them didn't pay attention..., or he went crazy, and plunged into the border of Song State, it would be a lot of fun.

"I heard that the main force of Zheng's army is in 'Yan'." Zhiyao got the news from the merchants of the Song Dynasty.

The "Yan" is "Yanling", which is the place where the "Battle of Yanling" broke out between the Jin army and the Chu army.

The local terrain is favorable to the army stationed in the north, and Zheng Jun made it clear that he wanted to resist the Chu army led by Bai Gongsheng there.

Now I understand why the Jin army led by Zhiyao can enter the land of no one, right?It is precisely because the main force of the Zheng army resisted the Chu army in "Yanling" that the Jin army was able to sweep all kinds of things very comfortably.

Why didn't Zhiyao follow Dayi?This one sounds a little complicated.

Zheng Guo, who used to be a veteran surrendering country, had no choice but to play Chao Jin and Chu Chu again and again. After losing their credibility, they became Jin or Chu and beat Zheng Guo from time to time.

At that time, the state of Zheng surrendered to the state of Jin today, and might surrender to the state of Chu tomorrow.
As for "Chao Qin Mu Chu"?Waiting for the Qin State to become stronger, there are many countries that have wavered again and again, so this idiom is left to future generations.

The two world powers like to beat themselves so much?Doesn't it force Zheng Guo to play tortoise flow?

Therefore, not only the defense of "Xinzheng", the capital city of the state of Zheng, is completely exaggerated, but also every city is desperately building city defenses. An ordinary city has at least two layers of outer city walls and a complex terrain. Nine layers of defense chain.

There is only one outer city wall, and it is difficult to conquer it with enough defenders. The addition of an insurance will bring more psychological benefits to the defenders, and the psychological pressure on the attacking side can be imagined.

Knowing that the Jin army was going south and what they were doing was looting, the first thing the Lord of Zheng did was to summon people into the city.

Why do Zhiyao and others still have such things as harvesting, and not all the Zheng people in the village can enter the city in time, it must be the dignitaries who ran first.

Therefore, the Jin army will not gnaw at the city, and without the leadership of the nobles outside the city, it will be more fragrant to loot.

The fact is that no one took the lead in resisting, and the Zheng people who encountered the Jin army could not form a large-scale resistance if they wanted to resist. They either died or became captives.

When they moved to "Sacrifice ②", Zheng Guoyou's envoy came over.

At that time, Zhiyao was arranging who would send the captives and captured ones back to the country first. When she learned that Zigong had brought the envoy of Zheng Guo, she had an immediate interview.

The envoy representing Zheng Jun is Zhiyao's old acquaintance Xiang Rong.

"The Marquis of Zheng is willing to cut off the three cities, but the son will retreat." Zigong said first.

Zhiyao turned her gaze to Xiang Rong and said, "I'm not waiting for Di Rong."

Do you think they are simply here to rob?What a joke!
Whether Zheng people believe it or not, their looting is just incidental, revenge is real! ! !
Xiang Rong's face was very ugly, and he said, "Jin Naibo, when did you end up here?"

Zhiyao became very angry from embarrassment, snorted coldly, and replied: "See off the guests!"

"This..." Xiang Rong had countless swear words in his heart.

He has just arrived, especially allowing the Jin army to plunder Zheng Guo wantonly, is he not allowed to be a member of the Zheng people to make a sarcasm?

"I want to come to Zheng Guo and I still don't know it? There is no need to discuss it." Zhiyao waved her hand rudely as she spoke, signaling Xiang Rong not to say anything, and just leave.

Xiang Rong glanced at the Jin people on the left and right sides of the military tent, and his eyes stayed on Wei Ju, Zhao Bolu, Han Geng, Hu You, Zhong Wu and others for more or less time respectively.

During this period, Wei Ju and Hu You were smiling; Zhao Bolu lowered his head as if he was ashamed; Han Geng and Zhong Wu were embarrassed.

Is there anyone acting?It is estimated that there is.

It's just that more people expressed their true attitudes.

Xiang Rong took a deep breath, looked at Zhiyao and asked, "How can I retreat?"

"Secure the three cities first, and discuss the rest." Zhiyao said.

If you don't retreat after giving the three cities, isn't it for nothing?The monarchs and ministers of the state of Zheng thought this way.

Xiang Rong wanted to say something, but was invited out by the warrior.

"The state of Jin is becoming more and more arrogant... No, the older generation is shameless, and the younger generation is getting more and more shameless. Now it's like this, and it's their turn to take power, so the nations still have a way out?" Of course Xiang Rong felt ashamed, and more It's about worrying about the future.

If the state of Jin is like the state of Wu, which "does not have tattoos and eats rice and fish", the background of the state of Jin is not comparable to that of the state of Wu, not only the life of the state of Zheng will be very sad, and the princes will not count as one. Happy birthday.

within the military tent.

Zhao Bolu asked in a low voice: "It is possible to cut off the three cities."

If there is anyone who most wants to accept when they meet, it must be Zhao Bolu.

They did not encounter any decent resistance when they invaded Zheng State. The number of Zheng people and wildlings captured was about [-], and the rest of the miscellaneous supplies were ridiculously large.

In terms of harvest, the average score of each family can be distributed to 1 people, not to mention other types of materials.

Do you know that Zhao Yang repeatedly used troops against the state of Wei, fighting back and forth for more than ten years before gaining much population?In fact, it's only two or three thousand.

Of course, it was Zhao Yang who tried his best to restrain himself, and fought in a war mode that was in line with etiquette and a bit barbaric.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Yang was fighting with all his strength. If he really wanted to carry out his arrogance to the end, Wei Guo would probably be gone.

This time, for Zhiyao and others, what is very rare is that Zheng people are captured with a family and a family. Under the model of dragging their families, it is difficult for a man to take care of his parents, wives and children to have the will to resist desperately.

To be honest, if men don't have the burden of their relatives, most of them have the courage to break the cans, and if they are ruthless, they are really ruthless.

With a man with scruples, no matter how strong the individual combat power is, he has to admit that he is not counseled.

It is not easy for the family to run away if they are brought back to the state of Jin for resettlement. After settling down for a while, they will be able to accept the fact that they are Jin people.

Of course, if they are treated as slaves, they are not treated as subjects, that's something else.

Zhiyao looked at Zigong, as if surprised what Zigong was still doing.

But Zi Gong didn't understand why he went to "Xinzheng" for a long time, and finally persuaded the king and ministers of Zheng Guo to cede the three cities. As a result, the king and ministers of Zheng Guo agreed and sent envoys. The envoys expressed their willingness to cede the city, but Zhiyao It was rude in attitude.

Needless to say, of course Zhiyao did it on purpose.

Regardless of whether Xiang Rong was talking nonsense or not, Zheng Guo's cession of the three cities just made them need to find another excuse for the next invasion, and no one would guarantee that there would be no next invasion.

As for ceding the three cities, let Zheng Guo interfere in the Jin civil war?Not to mention Zhiyao's lack of qualifications, even the qualified Jin Junwu didn't have the guts to agree to it, it all depends on the day when the Jin people will vent their anger in their hearts.

Where is the Jin people's vengeance and vengeance reflected?It's not simply about holding grudges, but also a mentality of "only allow me to bully you, not allow you to resist", not to mention being attacked when you are in trouble.

Do you know what happened to the countries that interfered in the Jin civil war this time?Even after Zhao, Wei, and Han separated from the Jin State, the revenge against them still did not stop, and it did not stop until the rise of the Qin State.

just right?By that time, Zheng State, which was adjacent to Jin State, had already perished, and Wei State had become a pocket-sized small country. Lu State was weakened repeatedly until it was destroyed by Chu State. It is because of the rich background that he can bear it abruptly and become one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.

Zhiyao showed it with her attitude, but Zigong was still in a daze, and had to say, "To the country of Lu."

Zi Gong was confused, he didn't know whether it was a successful atonement for Zheng Guo, or if Quan Sanhuan temporarily gave up "Ai Ling" to count as atonement.

On the other hand, Zi Gong really didn't want to go to the state of Lu to persuade Sanheng to give up "Ai Ling" again, because he doubted whether the state of Lu would have the strength to recover after giving up "Ai Ling".

Zhiyao ignored Zi Gong who was hesitant to speak again and again, and said to the others: "Zheng's army has retreated, and Chu's army has passed 'Yan' and went north."

That happened half a month ago. Zheng Jun failed to hold back the Chu army led by Bai Gongsheng, and chose to withdraw after suffering several losses.

Bai Gongsheng did not follow Zheng Jun's initiative to retreat, and approached "Xin Zheng" even more aggressively.

"Yao has sent someone to meet Bai Gong and invite 'Xinzheng' to meet at the city." Zhiyao said.

The rest of the people who didn't know this was a little dumbfounded.

They originally thought that Zhiyao had enough looting, and they wanted to take the army to "Xinzheng" to show off their power and return home.

With the Chu army approaching the city of "Xinzheng", do you want to cooperate to attack the city?
In addition, the most important thing is, are they suitable for forming an alliance with the Chu army? ? ?

Wei Ju and Zhao Bolu subconsciously looked at each other.

"Yao, Ju and Bolu are not suitable for this occasion." Wei Ju said.

They are "Qing"!

Even if the invasion of Zheng State was a private family war, some things that shouldn't happen, such as a private alliance with the important ministers of Chu State, still cannot happen.

Zhiyao knows.

So why is he still doing this?
