I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 313 Stop Pretending, They Are Not Good People

The two legions of the Jin State gathered in "Dali" did not seem crowded.

The place where the city is built will be chosen in a place with a relatively open terrain, and there must be land for farming in the surrounding area, otherwise it will only rely on external support, and the local cost of living will be ridiculously high.

At present, there is not only a "Dali" city on the border between Jin and Qin, there is also "Fushi" further west, and after Luoshui, there is an empty wilderness for hundreds of miles.

There used to be a country called "Rui" here, but it was annexed during Qin Mugong's time, and the land was later occupied by Jin people.

After hundreds of years of turmoil, too many kingdoms of the Zhou royal family were annexed, and they were forgotten one after another.

For example, after Zhiyao led the army to leave "Dali" and cross Luoshui, the land called "Peng Xishi" under their feet once belonged to the Rong people, and the land further west was called "Dangshe", and "Dangshe" also A branch of the Rong people, they were all forces wiped out by the Qin army.

Those are the forces that Qin Guodong eliminated along the way.

The reason why it is said to be power is that the Rong people did not establish a country, and they lived a life of chasing grass in the form of tribes.

When talking about enfeoffment, later generations felt that the royal family of Zhou was doing stupid things of self-destruction, ignoring that there were too many Rong and Di people in the land of Xia, and forgetting that these Di and Rong were the enfeoffment kingdoms of the Zhou royal family. After being eliminated one by one, the culture later called "Zhu Xia" became the mainstream in this land, and the people on the land also changed crop after crop.

Naturally, there are also many feudal states that have been wiped out by alien races. It can only be said that the survival of Zhuxia civilization is not easy.

Seriously speaking, it is precisely because of the enfeoffment of the Zhou royal family that the ethnic groups known as "Zhu Xia" took their lives to open up living space. Attacking and killing, it can't be said that enfeoffment was wrong from the beginning.

Some people don't understand why the nobles in the Spring and Autumn Period were so powerful. When they mention the nobles, they think of all kinds of luxury or evil. They completely forget that it is the families of these people who took the lead in robbing the land of other races, and then led others to open up that land. .

Take the Zhi family as an example, it appeared relatively late, and it was also a Xiaozong of the Xun family. Don’t forget that the Zhi family’s management in "Changdi" made this land a piece of soil under the Zhuxia cultural system.

Do you think Zhishi took down "Changdi" easily?not really.

People died every day during the operation of "Changdi" by the Zhi family. Some died in the battle with the Di people, some died because of acclimatization, or were attacked by wild animals. The price paid may not be large, and these prices cannot be combined Ignore them all.

Now that piece of land is owned by Zhishi, and one day it will be owned by everyone.

The same is true for other places. Maybe a certain family will benefit for a while, and the land will still belong to the welfare of future generations. Anyone can enjoy the fruits of "ancestors" development.

So, the family with "shi" at the beginning is really not a negative thing, on the contrary it is a kind of honor they deserve.

During the pioneering period, not only a few people from one family were appointed to benefit, otherwise how did the doctor's family doctor come from, and how did the Chinese appear?To put it bluntly, these people shed their blood and sweat, and they also got rewards for their hard work.

Therefore, no one's loyalty comes for nothing. The reason why they are loyal to the Patriarch is to some extent the result of the joint efforts of the guards.

"There has been no one in this land, or was it because the people of Qin were beaten back and the state of Jin has been busy fighting for hegemony with the state of Chu, so that the development of the land has been put on hold?" Zhiyao stood on the chariot and looked at it at a glance. Wilderness full of vegetation.

Hurry up, Zhiyao only rides a horse when she is sick, and the ride is much more comfortable.

Now there is a piece of green everywhere, not loess with no end in sight.

One day this land will be covered with loess, and the big river will be renamed the Yellow River.

After crossing the Luoshui River and coming to the west bank, the north bank of the Weishui River is really empty, and there is not a single city within hundreds of miles.

Earlier, the Di tribe belonging to Bai Di came here to graze. Later, the Jin State continued to build a city on the east bank of Luoshui, north of "Dali", and immediately stopped Bai Di's southward advance after confirming the ownership of the land.

During Jin Jinggong's reign, Qin State formed an alliance with Bai Zhai and Chi Di to invade Jin State, which immediately angered the Jin people. Zhai has also been greatly nerfed.

After that, Qin State retreated back to the west, and Bai Zhai didn't even dare to go nomadic near Jin people's territory.

The Fox clan, who had accepted the Zhu Xia culture for more than ten years, were to some extent the accomplices of Bai Zhai's continued eastward march, which made Bai Di start to resume his eastward march again.

That is one of the reasons why Jin Dinggong wanted to absorb the Hu family again, and both Zhixuan and Zhao Yang at the time agreed.

Zhixuan and Zhao Yang believed that re-absorbing the Fox family could cut off Bai Di Dongjin's hand, and it could also make the Hu family who was originally an accomplice completely turn against Bai Di. resistance.

Facts have proved that Zhibi and Zhao Yang did the right thing. The Fox family is now the biggest obstacle for Bai Zhai to go eastward. There is no large-scale war between the two sides in the upper reaches of the river, but conflicts happen from time to time, and the rest of the family have nothing to do. Just play with the princes like that, don't worry about Bai Di at all.

After marching for half a month, Zhiyao and others came to a city called "Gaoling".

This "high mausoleum" belongs to the state of Qin. It is located on the edge of the Wei River, and it is also the city closest to the sphere of influence of the state of Jin on the north bank of the Wei River.

The whole army is stationed.

Zhiyao called everyone to a meeting.

"Conquering 'Gaoling' as a place to store grain can make logistics worry-free."

This is Han Geng's point of view.

For the second generation who took over power, to say that they are all idiots is to slander.

And Han Geng decided to make up lessons after going west, and he came up with the above suggestion when he learned that the Qin army liked to attack the opponent's grain roads in battle.

Have a suggestion, right?The suggestion is still very correct, and there is nothing to say about the matter.

Zhiyao immediately ordered the auxiliary soldiers of the army to cut down trees, and then ordered Gongshu Li to supervise the construction of siege equipment.

"The people of Qin are good at galloping alone, and so is the Hu family." Zhi Yao said, looking at Hu You.

Hu Jie was still in his own fiefdom, and it was Hu You, the second generation, who was on the expedition.

As usual, Fox's Nafu couldn't pull out a sufficient number of military vehicles, and maintained the habit of carrying a large number of livestock.

Most of their people know how to ride horses, and they travel easily. The task of intercepting the enemy's scattered horses or large-scale single horses must fall on Fox.

Didn't Zhiyao also bring three "brigades" of cavalry?The problem is that Zhi clan's cavalry usage is different from that of Fox clan, Qin state and other nomadic groups.

Huyou, who took the lead, looked more excited.

Saddles and stirrups appeared in Zhi's, but due to "patents", Fox did not dare to fully imitate them, but he was not polite when he came up with similar toys. He got a new toy and tried it out. He really thought it was too easy to use.

This is also the reason why Zhiyao tried his best not to come up with more new gadgets. New gadgets that are not high enough in technology are really easy for other families to imitate. Can't live.

Zhizhi knew that Hu had nothing to show in making saddles and stirrups. As long as the secret of the horseshoe was not prying, there was still a gap as a cavalryman.

Siege engines are being built.

The Hu family's cavalry came out in a group, and first checked the surroundings to see if there was any Qin army or other troops.

The Wei's troops who were left behind needed to quickly repair the bridges needed along the way. After they finished, it was the turn of Zhong's troops to disperse everywhere to ensure the safety of the logistics line.

When they were making preparations, an envoy from the State of Qin came.

The person who came was called Bai Guan, and asked how he stopped at "Gaoling" and there were signs of attacking the city since the state of Jin promised to hunt.

"Our army is going west, how can there be Qin army behind us?" Zhiyao said.

This "Gaoling" city does not occupy a large area. It is three miles long and two miles wide. It can accommodate about 2 people, and maybe more than [-] people can squeeze in.

When the Jin army arrived, "Gaoling" was already making defensive preparations. Judging from the Qin army appearing on the city wall, there were no less than two thousand defenders inside, and it is unknown how many soldiers did not show up.

Bai Guan said: "Since you can hunt, how can the widow..."

Zhiyao cut it off and said: "There is no need to talk about the enmity between Jin and Qin. The Qin people in 'Gaoling' are willing to leave, and they can evacuate immediately; if they stay, I will attack myself."

Qin State is not a country of credibility.

In fact, the state of Jin is not much better.

Besides, the times have changed, can everyone stop doing that kind of self-deception?
Bai Guan really didn't expect Zhiyao to be such a direct person, no matter how many false words there are, they can't compare with a big truth.

The white official who asked the Jin army to allow him to enter "Gaoling" was refused and could only leave angrily.

Han Geng asked: "Since you want to make Qin people leave the city, why..."

What can Zhiyao say?Could it be just saying: It's just a scene, let the white officials enter the city, God knows what accidents will happen, just follow the established steps.

"Our army has just arrived, how can we make the enemy leave safely? If so, why did the soldiers come?" Zhiyao could only say so.

The Zhi family started the military merit system first, and the rest of the families followed suit. The commander was willing to take down a city without fighting, but the soldiers were not happy yet.

Next, the Jin army began to attack "Gaoling" step by step, without any eagerness to take it down, as if it was warming up before a big battle.

Later, new news came that the Qin army who had been in the "Matunnel" had pulled out their camp, and they were moving to "Gaoling".

"It's been tried and tested!" Zhiyao said something that not many people could understand.

What's the meaning?It's just to help out.

Furthermore, Zhiyao has always felt that Qin State has a plan, and taking the army to the "Ma Tunnel" may enter the game. It is definitely the safest plan to decide where the battlefield is.

"The eldest son, the Hu family's scouts reported that Tibetan soldiers with unknown intentions were found seventy miles to the north." Zhiying reported.

This made Zhiyao laugh.

Who else?Probably Bai Zhai, and most likely Zhao's army.

Not long after, another piece of information was delivered to Zhiyao, and the Chu army was found on the south bank of the Weishui River.

It is temporarily impossible to know the number of the Chu army, but it can be confirmed that it is the Chu army.
