I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 295

The Zhao family's management of "Jinyang" began with Zhao Yang. In order to allow "Jinyang" to develop, Zhao Yang not only repeatedly migrated the population from the rest of the Zhao family's fiefdoms, but also deliberately invaded Weiguo to plunder the population again and again, making "Jinyang" "It has been like this in just over twenty years.

Before the outbreak of the civil war, the permanent population of "Jinyang" was about 13, including the surrounding population of more than [-].

Zhao's actions in winter were very big. They probably didn't expect to be decisively intercepted, and lost a lot of people and supplies. However, at any rate, the population of "Jinyang" increased by about [-], and with Most of them are young and strong.

When Sun Wu arrived at the outskirts of "Jinyang", he had already grasped the relevant information in advance.

At present, there are almost no idlers in the city of "Jinyang", that is, people who have nothing to do with combat have migrated away, leaving about [-] for defensive operations.

In the vicinity of "Jinyang", in addition to the two existing camps, four new camps that look large in size have been built. Including the strength of these camps, the total is about [-].

The location of these camps is very particular, basically occupying a favorable terrain is one of them, and more importantly, the layout can achieve a layout that can support each other when attacked.

"The Zhao family has tens of thousands of troops?" Sun Wu knew this kind of operation too well.

Wu Guo often ignores the quality of the soldiers, as long as they can afford weapons, they will coerce them into the army.

The Zhao family already had a large population in "Jinyang", and with the [-] to [-] young adults who gathered later, it seemed quite understandable to arm more than [-] people under the dying struggle.

Sun Wu was not frightened by Zhao's arming of more than [-] people in "Jinyang", on the contrary, he immediately burst out laughing.

At this time, do you need someone to join in and ask "Why are you laughing"?

Zhi Xuwu really asked.

Sun Wu said: "The Zhao family is short of food, how dare they gather troops?"

There is no need to be afraid that Zhao’s lack of food is a fake news. First, they fought endlessly for several years, and then the fiefdom was divided up. Not to mention the original reserves were consumed in large quantities. Later, the fiefdom was divided not only the loss of reserves, but also the production was forced to stop .

The Zhao family has been borrowing food from various families since then, and the Han family has given the most support. The other families will be more or less concerned about it. Since the Zhao family has lost too much of the arable land that can be produced in a short period of time, relying on other families' support is a drop in the bucket.

Zhi Xuwu said: "Zhao's intention is to defeat Dai."

Sun Wu had already calculated that and said: "The Zhao family may have enough food for [-] troops for a year, but the food for [-] troops is not enough for four months' rations."

So it seems that there is nothing wrong?Once a war really breaks out, saving food and money will not be of much use at all. The supply of what is really needed for the real war will be opened up, so as to prevent the morale of the army from being hit, and it will also have the effect of boosting morale.

Sun Tzu said: "The army retreated twenty li."

Ji Seo-go immediately understood what was going on.

The Zhao family is short of food but armed with so many people, it will be the Zhao family who are eager to fight.reason?Their food and fodder can't last long, and if they want to exchange losses for losses, it would be even better if they can force the Zhi family to negotiate peace.

At the same time, Zhao Wuji, who was in "Jinyang", got the news that Zhi's army was approaching but retreating.

Hearing the news, not only Zhao Wuxie's face became gloomy, but also the people at the decision-making level.

Their own family knew their own affairs, and tried their best to arm more people. What they wanted was to fight a war of attrition with Zhishi regardless of casualties.

As long as the Zhi family gives up on destroying the Zhao family, the Wei family, the Hu family, and the Zhong family will basically not fight against the Zhao family. At that time, they can find a way to change things with the Han family, and perhaps the situation that the Zhao family must die can be changed.

Once the Zhao family is allowed to continue to exist, who can say for sure about many things?Perhaps one day in the future, the Zhao family will be able to recover, or the Zhao family will become an ally of one of the Zhi family and the Wei family, but the perishing family will become the Zhi family or the Wei family.

The impermanence of the world means that if one thing has not become a foregone conclusion, everything is possible.

Zhi's army retreated, which immediately made Zhao's life very uncomfortable.

Zhao Wuji asked, "When will Dai Jun arrive?"

Gubu Ziqing, who was in charge of the response, replied, "After a month or so?"

Dai State's geographical environment is quite good, but Dai State does not have the ability to develop farming, mainly herding livestock, and the breeding of war horses is the best.

For a long time, Dai State has relied on selling war horses in exchange for food. In the past, the largest trade partner was Xianyu, and it also had transactions with the Zhao family of Dai State; Xianyu has perished, and the Zhi family has not been involved in the war horse trade of Dai State for the time being. Mrs. Zhao hoped that it would be difficult to hope for food support on behalf of the country.

"Wuji told Daijun a few years ago that he might go to Yan to buy grain, but I don't know if Daiguo will follow through." Zhao Wuji said.

Dai State has a border with Yan State, and Yan State, which is almost forgotten by the countries of the Central Plains, is also one of the retreats on Zhao Wuji's side.

Or exchange war horses with Yan State for food, or "Jinyang" really couldn't hold on and fled to Dai State first, and then finally took refuge in Yan State.

Why didn't he go to seek refuge with his distant relative Qin Guo?What Zhao Wuji knows is that Zhao Bolu has already gone to Qin State, and he thinks that since Zhao Bolu has gone to Qin State, it is enough to steal Guozuo from the replacement country, or someone will go to Yan State to develop and develop, and in the future, he can look for it from two directions. The state of Jin took revenge.

Yes, it is to seek revenge from Jin, not Zhishi alone.

From Zhao Wuji's point of view, the rest of the families in the state of Jin are all attacking the Zhao family, and the enemy of the Zhao family is the state of Jin, not a single family.

Of course, in Zhao Wuxie's understanding, revenge can be done one by one slowly, and it is completely possible to use which family to attack that family in the process, and it is not necessarily necessary for all families to liquidate at the same time.

The situation has progressed to this point, Zhao Wuji's biggest extravagant hope is that the Zhi family and the Wei family are not as harmonious as they seem, and hope to show the strength of the Zhao family by supporting the Zhi family, and then contact the Wei family or the Zhi family, provocation , Other things matter, in short, it is to pull a family to fight a family to save themselves.

That is to say, there are so many ways for Zhao Wuxie to face a bad situation. If it were the others, they would either resist until death, or they would want to run away as soon as possible. How could there be so many twists and turns.

"Who is the general and assistant of Zhijun?" Zhao Wuji asked.

this matter?It's not too funny when it's the enemy's turn and they don't know it under their noses.

After all, the speed of information transmission in the current era is just that, and it is not so easy to find out without proactive detection, or active detection.

Gubu Ziqing knew that he should send an envoy to Zhi's army.

When the envoy goes there, he can know who the commander-in-chief of the army is, and he can also rely on identifying people to know who is in the army. He can even insult the other party, making the other party go crazy and give up the original plan.

Soon, the envoy set off and returned in less than a day, giving the news that the leader of the opposite army was Zhi Xuwu, and the military assistant was Sun Wu.

"Grandson?" Of course Zhao Wuji knew who Sun Wu was, but he had just found out that Sun Wu was serving for the Zhi family.

Zhao Wujiu murmured: "First there was Yang Hu, then there was Sun Wu, Zhi Clan has great plans..."

Yang Hu has a bad reputation, but his ability should not be questioned.

Sun Tzu's reputation is so great that no one will doubt his ability.

Gubu Ziqing said: "Qi's Veteran General Tian Rangju also served in Zhishi."

This made Zhao Wuxie's face twisted with envy.

The same is the beginning of the big family, and the development is even more eager. Why is everything not going well on Zhao's side, and it's Zhi's turn to make various profits and recruit talents?
Knowing who the chief general and military assistant of the Zhi family are, Zhao Wuxie felt extremely uneasy all of a sudden.

Zhi Xuwu has nothing to say, he is nothing more than a brainless general.

It will be different with Sun Tzu!

In the face of a person who can play tricks, Zhao Wuxie does not have the confidence to play tricks without being noticed in advance. It is definitely impossible to consume Zhi's troops by relying on defense, and other calculations are a bit uncertain. .

Afterwards, Zhao Wuxie sent envoys again, and what he did was to stimulate the opponent with insulting behaviors, wanting to provoke the other party, and then let the other party attack.

what's the result?The envoys sent by the Zhao family were simply killed, and the Zhi family's army remained in place, showing no sign of marching into "Jinyang" and launching an attack.

Later, news came back one after another. The Wei family easily captured the three cities on the "Caimulberry" side, and then started to attack the "Zhao" land; after the Fox and Zhong families captured the "Taigu" There was no withdrawal of troops, and they stayed in the local area to suppress dissatisfaction.

Until half a month later, Zhao Wuji called a meeting of decision-makers. After the meeting, the Zhao family began to make new moves.

What they did was to send a troop northward, looking for local Zhishi troops to fight, seemingly to ensure a passable route to the north.

"If you still don't fight with me, I will go north to join the generation!" Zhao Wuxie said.

Because they have the fatal weakness of lack of food, they simply have no extra choice. In the end, they will only collapse on their own, or simply cause a tragedy of cannibalism.

Gubu Ziqing was the one who knew all about what Zhao Wuxie was planning. Hearing the words, he thought: "You put on the stance of a decisive battle in the first battle, originally to confuse the Zhi family, and what you want is to transfer to the Dai country and then steal the country, but Don't lie to others and get yourself involved."

Since Zhao Wuxie made such a plan from the beginning, why did he act out such an extra act?This is the so-called falsehood.

Putting on a staunch posture on the side of "Jinyang" might be able to frighten Zhi Shi, right?

Mrs. Zhao is still contacting Mrs. Zhi, Mrs. Wei, Mrs. Hu, Mrs. Zhong, and Mrs. Han respectively, to see what works best, not just try it out.

At present, what Zhao Wuxie is most afraid of is that the plot will be detected in advance, and if the Zhi family who goes northward is weakened without a bloody battle, even if the Zhao family moves north to Daiguo, I am afraid that they will be hunted down and killed in the end. Once again, Zhi Shi made a wedding dress, and Dai Guo was swallowed by Zhi Shi.

Playing tricks, playing tricks to the point where he was in a dilemma, it was Zhao Wuxie's unlucky encounter with Sun Wu, and he was a little frightened by Sun Wu's name and hesitated.
