I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 40 Invite princes to hunt
Do you feel that life has lost its brilliance if you don't go back to your hometown to show off when you are out and about?This is also the so-called "wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, such as traveling at night in brocade clothes".

Therefore, if you are awesome, you can't pretend to be awesome to show to the familiar hometown elders. What's the point of being awesome.

If you do well and want to go back to your hometown to show off, it is naturally better if you can develop well in your hometown.The driving force of social development should include the desire to pretend, right?
Zhiyao really wanted to help Confucius go back and pretend to be a big force. It is very realistic that all the princes think that the state of Jin is no longer good, and the "halo" from the state of Jin has become less bright.

To put it bluntly, when the Jin State was still recognized as the hegemony, anyone or anything who went to the Jin State to be plated with a layer of gold would be able to go all kinds of crazy and cool things when they returned.When Jin no longer deters the princes, it is no longer necessary to come to Jin for gold plating.

"How many years has Confucius been in exile in history? How long will it take Jin to regain its dominance, and Confucius can't wait to get it?" Zhiyao still wanted to help Confucius return to Lu to pretend to be coercive.

The question now is how long the Jin Dynasty will sink, and whether it can climb out of the quagmire.

All in all, mudslides occurred in Jin and Chu, the two big mountains pressing down on the countries of the "Eastern World". The opportunity for ambitious princes has come, and the weak and weak countries will surely suffer!

Historically, Confucius lived to be 72 years old. Considering the ten years of ups and downs in life, it seems that there is often a meal without a meal, and it is normal for his body to be poor.

In this version of history, Confucius was taken in by the Zhi family, and his quality of life would definitely not be bad. It depends on how his mental state is. No matter what happens, his life expectancy should be longer than the original history, right?
"Yao, the army arrived at 'Yong' to rest?" Zhishen didn't care about anything, and used questions.

The multinational coalition forces headed by Qi have already crossed the river, and they have entered the control area of ​​Fan's family and arrived at a place called "Community".

This place called "Gong" has quite a lot of hot springs. It is also called "Baiquan" by the people, and it is still a place with beautiful scenery.

The "Yong" land is about 170 miles away from the "Gong" land, and there is a "Fan" land in the middle. What is more troublesome is that there is a large swamp area in the west of "Gong", which is called Daluze by contemporary people.

Therefore, the two "armies" combined by the Zhi family, the Fu family and some small and medium-sized nobles should stop and station when they arrive in "Yong". Jun Song, Wei Junyuan, Song Junluan, and Zheng Junsheng can hunt.

Can hunt?To put it bluntly, it is an appointment to start a war.

Because it is a relationship in the late Spring and Autumn period, and it is in the alternating time node of the old and the new. If one party invites the other party or multiple parties to start a fight, the probability of whether they will agree is almost half and half.

Zhishen got the answer, and asked again: "How many troops do the princes have?"

It is hard to say how many troops the princes have together, and it is also uncertain whether the private army of the Fan family and the Zhongxing family should be counted.

At present, Shi Jishe and Zhong Xingyin are staying with the princes, but the sense of presence of the two has been strong from the beginning, and then the sense of presence has become weaker and weaker.

This is a change that occurred as the cities of Fan and Zhongxing changed their flags on the wall one after another. To a certain extent, the value of Shijishe and Zhongxingyin to the princes has been decreasing, resulting in an attitude Very real change.

Zhiyao guessed, "Sixty to seventy thousand?"

Even in the late Spring and Autumn Period, the countries of the Central Plains still obeyed Zhou Li's army formation. The most obvious thing is that the princes only have 25 infantry in each vehicle, so their "army" is 1 chariots and [-] soldiers. Five hundred infantry.

Zhishen nodded, and said calmly, "So, it's only four or five 'armies'."

After gaining hegemony, Jin was able to collect protection fees from other countries, suck blood from other countries for nearly a hundred years, and its own population was increasing because it had been winning wars with foreign countries, so it carried out military system reforms in the era of Luan Shu's administration.

Later, Qi State also wanted to reform the military system. It learned from Jin State that the old establishment remained the same but added some infantry. As soon as there was a sign, it was severely beaten by Jin State, and obediently continued to implement Zhouli's military system.

It is difficult for other countries to have the idea of ​​​​expansion, either because the productivity cannot keep up, or the source of troops is not enough, so they just play the old way honestly.

Zhishen is not afraid of other countries at all, the reason is that no matter how much the civil war weakens itself, the combat effectiveness of the Jin army is still far higher than that of the princes.

In the past, Jin State would still fear Chu State, but since Chu State was repeatedly defeated by Wu State, Chu State has lost the qualification to fight for hegemony, so it changed how to seek self-protection.

This is also the reason why Chu State didn't join in the fun this time. Instead, Qi State didn't need to fight for the top in the past. When it saw Jin State and the internal turmoil in Chu State, it didn't even know how to yell, so it directly sent troops to the north.

The army under the flag of the Zhi clan entered the range of the Fan clan's strength. They did not launch an attack on the city that hung the banner of the Fan clan, and even went to people to discuss and purchase certain things.

Will the cities still belonging to the Fan family sell things to the Zhi family for the time being?Yes, and the price is definitely fair.

Fan's family members or retainers can't be regarded as traitors if they do that, they just maintain the old orderly style of doing things.

Of course, if it were the Zhao family who came to buy from the Fan family, everyone would know that the Zhao family wanted to destroy the Fan family. Believe it or not, if the Zhao family members went to the Fan family, they would be giving away their heads?And Fan's killing the Zhao people who came to the door would not have the slightest psychological burden, just because Zhao Wuzun came to the door, he was killed for nothing!
One day, the people sent by Zhishen to "community" came back, and brought back the news that the princes agreed to hunt.

On behalf of the rest of the princes, Qi Jun Chujiu agreed to hold a meeting in the "community" land, and at the same time asked Zhishen a lot of questions, including Zhishen and Zhonghang's family, why did they choose to stand by Zhao's side and fight each other? one.

"Shen is speechless..." Zhishen felt too guilty and ashamed.

how?Are you going to answer Qi Jun Chujiu, saying that Lao Zhi's family is not sure to compete against the alliance of Zhao, Wei and Han, and even sold the Zhongxing family who came from the same family in order to get a share?

Zhiyao blocked the redundant question about Qi Jun's pestle, so as not to spread the word and shake the morale of the army.

To say a thousand words and ten thousand, Lao Zhi's operation is really dishonest!
"Gongsun, the soldiers of the Zhao, Wei, and Han families went south from 'Handan' and arrived in 'Mo' ten days ago. If I help, they will arrive at 'Gong' within eight days." Zilu took the overall situation as his starting point , to say this.

Zhiyao glanced at Zi Gong, Yan Yuan, Min Ziqian, Ran Boniu, Zhong Gong, Zai Yu... and the others in the tent, feeling rather surprised.

Many of these disciples of Confucius have mental cleanliness, and they can't see the filth in the world.

If Zhiyao dared to reveal her intention to cheat Zhao, Wei and Han, God knows if she would be scolded on the spot.

Zhiyao moved her eyes to the expectant Zilu, and said, "Even if I ask your lord for instructions, you are all ready to go."

Zilu had led troops in Lu State, but he had no example of leading the army of a hegemonic country in battle.

It has been widely circulated for nearly a hundred years about the awesomeness of the Jin army. How could Zilu not look forward to leading the Jin army to fight the enemy?
