I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 345 What a Big Thick Thigh!

Today is two chapters and two posts.

……………text……………

Zhiyao did not hand over all the Chu people captured in the "Battle of Weishui", but was willing to let the state of Chu redeem 500 of them.

The two parties discussed how to redeem for a long time, not because of any other issues, but because of some details.

First of all, Zhiyao hoped that the state of Chu would allow the arrangement of this Chu army with the system of the Jin army, that is, use the organization of the Jin army instead of the system of the Chu state.

Just about how to reorganize the army, the Zhi family argued with Chu for half a month.

Chu State is unwilling to admit that it has lost to Jin State in terms of military system, and feels that their own organization is quite good, and there is no need to follow Jin State.

The state of Jin broke away from the shackles of the Zhou royal family when Luan Shu served as "Yuan Rong".

Luan Shu likes to engage in conspiracies and tricks, and has the nickname of "Old Sinister", but he is very forward-looking in his approach to things.

At that time, the state of Jin had grown up in all aspects. Facing the rise of the state of Chu and the constant turmoil in the surrounding countries, it was believed that the establishment of the Zhou royal family was no longer applicable to the state of Jin.

Under Luan Shu's proposal, the Jin army made an expansion move, that is, one "two" still retained one chariot, but the number of infantry following the chariot changed from 22 to 73.

At that time, a "two" of the Jin army consisted of 75 people including one chariot, a "pawn" consisted of 300 people including four chariots, and a "brigade" consisted of 500 people including 500 chariots. , a "division" has 500 people including [-] chariots, and an "army" has [-] people including [-] chariots.

It can be said that it is precisely because of Luan Shu's reforms to the Jin army that the Jin State will be like beating a child to the countries of the Central Plains in the future. The troops were always insufficient and faced a dilemma.

One thing that must be understood is that at the time point at that time, Jin, Qi, and Zheng actually had the ability to form large-scale corps with the support of total population, economy, and grain production.

Qi Guo wanted to learn but was immediately pressed and beaten by Jin Guo, and he gave up after being stuck repeatedly.

Zheng State was sandwiched between Jin State and Chu State, and even became a veteran surrendering state. As the national power weakened again and again, the expansion of the military establishment naturally disappeared.

After so many years, the Jin State is still enjoying the benefits of Luan Shu's expansion of the army. To some extent, it also has to thank Zhao Dun for being the "Yuan Rong" period, which led the Jin State to the line of military fruitism.

The reason why Zhiyao asked the Chu army to use the Jin army's formation seems to be helping to complete a kind of "evolution", but it is a kind of evil intention.

The system of Chu State is different from that of most countries, especially in the formation of the army. Of course they have such a system, but only the "Wang Shi" has a strict organizational system, such as the "Zuo Guang"; The rest of the Chu army was brought by the nobles as long as it was brought in, and the number of each Chu army was not fixed. Whether the commander knew how many troops he had under his command became a key, and he just wanted to It is difficult to know.

In the end, Ziqi made a compromise and agreed that the Zhi family would let the Chu army reorganize according to the Jin army's establishment.

At present, the Chu army reorganized by the Jin State Zhi clan is fighting fiercely with the Wu army.

At the same time, the Zhi family was also fighting with Wu Jun.

"Who doesn't know that the improvement of the organization can effectively improve the combat effectiveness, and the terrible thing is that those nobles are absolutely unwilling to let things be done!" Ziqi saw that he was also from Chu, but after being reorganized by the Zhi family, he showed a disciplined side. .

If Ziqi hadn't participated in the whole process of reorganization, he might suspect that those who were released were not Chu people, but were temporarily switched by Jin people, and then they would be switched again to become Chu people and then released.

Why did Chu State weaken?Isn't it because a certain king of Chu lost control of the nobles, which made the new king of Chu unable to use more power to fight against the state of Wu, so that even the capital was captured by the Wu army!

Those aristocrats did not rebel and stand on their own. They just pushed back the orders of the king of Chu if they could.

"Wu Jun has been seriously injured?" Ziqi asked.

Zhiyao nodded and said: "Wu's army originally had [-] soldiers, and it would be easy to defeat Qi's army. Our army has fought against them for many days, so that they can't take care of both ends. This is the only way to have such a scene."

To be honest, Zhiyao was really surprised that [-] civilians were able to resist for four days, and exchanged about [-] casualties for nearly [-] results.

Of course, Xu Menchao, the chief general of the Wu army, despised the resistance of [-] civilians. If they went all out from the beginning, the spiritual level of the civilians would be sublimated, but the physical combat effectiveness did not match the spiritual level, and they were attacked. The full siege of [-] Wu troops will definitely be wiped out.

Ziqi wanted to say something, but he seemed to see something, and said in amazement, "Wu's army has been defeated!"

To be more precise, the Xumen Nest can be regarded as re-establishing the communication between the various ministries, so that it can be restored as a whole. Zhanru was ordered to take 3000 people to the south to explore, and the time was agreed, and various preparations were made in advance. , Without any accidents, the breakthrough will be carried out today.

Xu Menchao knew that he could leave if he wanted to, so he must let the cavalry of the Jin army fall into a state of fatigue first. He had been suffering casualties for the first few days to lure the cavalry of the Jin army to attack, and then ordered his own soldiers to give their lives to the cavalry of the Zhi family. cause more trouble.

After two days of desperate resistance, nearly 3000 people were killed and injured, which can be regarded as the fact that Chi's cavalry did not participate in the battle today.

"If you are guilty, the crime den!"

Wu also has the habit of killing generals when defeated troops, but it has not been strictly enforced in recent years.

In order to successfully break through, Xu Menchao not only spent about 3000 people to fight the Chi cavalry, but also sent 3000 people to fight the Chu army today, and another 4000 people to fight the Jin army.And he will take the rest of the Wu army, leaving the fighting robes to break through.

Wu Jun's choice is very surprising!

After all, Wu Jun had about 1 at the beginning, and it looked like [-] were lost back and forth, and in the end he had to leave another [-], which means that even if he broke through successfully, he would lose less than [-].

Seeing that Zhiyao hadn't made any new arrangements, Ziqi asked, "Has the Jin army set up an ambush on the enemy's way back?"

Zhiyao said: "Yao only brought three 'teachers' here."

On this battlefield, the number of Zhishi's troops is about [-], which means that almost all the Jin troops are on the scene.

Ziqi was surprised: "It may be wiped out, but how can it be released?"

Zhiyao said: "Chu Sima's troops can be handed over to me, and the Chu army will go after them."

This time, Zhiyao couldn't handle Ziqi a little bit.

In the final analysis, Zhiyao led the army for many purposes, and he didn't want to wipe out the Wu army alone.

Ziqi really felt that he couldn't just let that Wu army go, and that the Jin army took over the abandoned Wu army, and brought the Chu army to pursue the Wu army led by Xu Menchao who broke through to the south. up.

"Even if the state of Wu challenges the state of Jin again, it will basically be ten years later. At this stage, the object of war between the state of Wu and the state of Chu will be the state of Chu again, and it should be the people of Chu who are fighting hard. Why should I join in the fun?" Zhiyao thought .

Subsequently, Zhiyao issued an order to persuade him to surrender.

Knowing that he had become an abandoned son, the Wu people could not see any hope for the Jin army. After a little bit of tweaking, the nobleman chose to surrender.

Yes, not everyone is qualified to surrender now.Under the established system, only nobles are eligible to surrender. For example, if a soldier is caught without resistance, it is said that he is captured, not surrendered.

Zhiyao didn't care if Xu Menchao could bring the rest of the Wu army to break through successfully, and she didn't care what would happen to Ziqi's pursuit. After staying for three days, she took Qi Junwan and started wandering purposefully in the upper reaches of Jishui River stand up.

The operation of taking the king of a country for a stroll is only Zhiyao's idea. Every time he goes to a place, the local nobles of the Qi state will be extremely entangled. It is against the way of being a minister.

Even if Qi Junwan didn't know what Zhiyao was doing before, he should understand after one or two times.

However, understanding comes to understanding. Including Qi Junzhuan, all the arrangements of Yingjun and ministers for Zhiyao were cooperation or cooperation. It was not until about three or four out of ten of the upper reaches of Jishui was controlled by Zhishi that they found out carefully. Zhiyao, put on a posture of negotiating something.

At that time, Zhiyao was having a banquet with Ziqi.

Ziqi led his army to pursue the Wu army. They caught up with the Wu army and fought with them. They tasted the sweetness of victory and captured Zhanru after Duan.

Although he didn't do his best, Ziqi still felt extremely excited.

Since the state of Chu weakened, it has been defeated again and again against Wu Jun. It often takes five fights to get back and forth with Wu Jun, and the heart is almost lost.

This time, Ziqi took about [-] Chu troops to chase. When Wu Jun found out that it was the Chu troops who were chasing him, he stopped fighting, obviously looking down on the Chu troops.

"Jinqing, please drink this cup to the brim!" Ziqi was really grateful to Zhiyao, so he drank it down first.

To be honest, Zhiyao was also a little surprised at the fighting power shown by the Chu army, and wondered that it was only given to the Jin army's formation, and it was unexpected that the Chu army would change suddenly.

Ziqi said: "For example..." With just one word, there was a voice begging for help from outside.

What he wanted to say was, if Chu's army imitated Jin's establishment in an all-round way, what kind of vitality would it explode.

Of course, those who came to see him were the monarch and ministers of Qi State.

There were quite a few of them here, and they had only one goal. They wanted to ask Zhishi to help form an army, and at the same time they asked Zhishi to buy weapons and equipment on credit.

The reason why Qi's monarchs and ministers have the idea of ​​asking Zhishi to help form an army is that they are all Qi people, but the civilians have become better than the regular Qi army; , to defeat Wu Jun.

They cooperated with the Zhi family to occupy the upper reaches of Jishui, and exchanged what they would have lost in exchange for new hope. Is there something wrong?

It can only be said that the benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom...
