I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 405
In Zhiyao's account, there are arrows for dispatching troops from various vassal states on the table, and the customs clearance seals given by the vassals are also hung on the waist, which means that he has mastered the military power of various countries.

In fact, Zhiyao now has higher authority than Su Qin. At least the princes did not give Tongguan a seal, but only gave Su Qin a newly engraved seal, and even did not give a troop command arrow.

Another point is that the commanders and generals of various vassal states absolutely dare not disobey Zhiyao at this moment, and they are far more powerful than Su Qin when he is a nominal commander.

The rest of the vertical covenant leaders, such as King Huai of Chu, King Chu Kaolie, King Qi Min, Lord Wei Xinling, Gongsun Yan, etc., who are large or small, can actually command the army of their own country. To tell the truth, the army is not a bird.

As far as the achievements of the ministers are concerned, Zhiyao has already had a lot of bright moments, and this time he has mastered the military power of various countries can only be said to be so-so.

Why do you say that?The main reason is that there is too much water, and countries like Pi, Tan, Qi, and Chen are useless no matter how many countries there are. Ju and Cai are qualified to wave the flag, and the countries that are really useful and Song Guo.

Of course, counting the Wei family and the Han family, the strength of the two families is slightly stronger than those of those countries. Even the Fox family or the Zhong family can match the strength of Ju.

It's not that Song or Yue are weak, it's just that Jin is too strong.

For example, Song State, their total population should be about 180 million, their economic strength is very strong, and their military combat effectiveness is actually not bad.

If the Song State was bad, they would not have survived the "Hundred Years' War" at all, and they would also perish under the invasion of Wu State later.

After the rise of the Wu Kingdom, they destroyed many countries, and expanded their territory three times in just twenty years!

The State of Yue is really a little weak now. Let's see if they can digest the territory and population they obtained from the State of Wu. Once they can digest it in time, it may become another State of Wu.

Facing that Wen Zhong really led his army into "Xinzheng" and took control of a city gate, the rest of the people still reacted mediocrely.

Zheng Guo's "Xinzheng" is a fortified city, with nine gates in the outermost city and nine defensive lines.

Just ask, what's the use of just controlling a city gate?

On the "Xinzheng" side.

Wenzhong stood side by side with Handa, condescendingly looking down at Zheng Jun who was under siege from a distance.

In other words, one attacker and another defender, how they stand side by side, it doesn't seem like anyone is captured by whom.

Things are actually going weird.

The Vietnamese army in disguise came to deceive the door, but was spotted by Handa from the very beginning.

reason?A remnant soldier defeated, no matter how embarrassed he is dressed, the biggest flaw is that every soldier's weapon is not lost; besides, the height of Yueren is flawed, and their general height is no more than 1.6 meters!
Zheng Guo is the confidant of the Central Plains. To be honest, people in the Central Plains are generally taller, especially those who are qualified to be soldiers. Who is less than 1.6 meters five?

Therefore, Yue people with an average height of less than 1.6 meters pretend to be Zheng Jun. No matter how careless they are, they cannot ignore the difference in height. You'll notice something's wrong!

Handa happened to be right next to the city gate, and he was desperate to recognize the language on a certain chariot.

At that time, Handa greeted Wen Zhong very excitedly, and after saluting, he said, "It really makes Da wait a long time. Doctor Wen is here!"

Handa's words made Wenzhong's legs go limp in fright.

Later, Handa asked again, "Why did the Chu army go away?"

This sentence caused a row of question marks to appear on Wen Zhong's head.

So what's going on?

Slowly, Wen Zhong figured out the situation using his speech skills.

Someone came to "Xinzheng" last night and wrote a letter saying that Chu, Yue, and Zheng had formed an alliance, and predicted that there would be chaos in the camps of the princes. Later, the camps of various countries really broke out. The kings and ministers of the State of Zheng firmly believed in the fact that the State of Chu and the State of Yue wanted to form an alliance with the State of Zheng.

Since Handa was too sincere, he couldn't even pretend to be expecting, which made the language really confusing.

Ever since Gou Jian killed Fu Chai with his own hands, not to mention that other countries were incomprehensible to Gou Jian's various thoughts, it was actually difficult for the ministers of Yue State to guess what Gou Jian would be thinking.

However, Goujian mentioned to Wenzhong about the alliance with Chu and Zheng. Goujian obviously kept many things from Wenzhong, which really made it difficult for Wenzhong to make a correct judgment on some things!
It was very embarrassing that Handa almost forcibly dragged Wenzhong into the "Xinzheng" city, so that Wenzhong would die on the spot if he doubted and refused, so that now they are standing shoulder to shoulder.

As for why the news of controlling a city gate in "Xinzheng" spread to Zhiyao, it's really not Wen Zhong who sent people to report it, it was Zhi's meticulous work who was observing from a distance and saw the Vietnamese army entering the city. It has always been open, and it was just a wrong report.

Why is Zhiyao not interested in stealing the city?That doesn't need to be said at all!

I've said it several times, "Xinzheng" is a fortified city with nine lines of defense. It's nothing to take down a city gate by surprise or sneak attack. Even taking the first line of defense by trick is just the beginning, and there are eight lines of defense behind. Waiting to be conquered.

So, unless it is possible to control Zheng Guojun and his ministers by tricks, and use a top-down force to surrender, otherwise it is simply whimsical to want to easily win "Xinzheng".

Uncomplicated truths should be understood by everyone who should understand them. If there is no reasoning language or Goujian does not understand it, there are some things worth talking about.

I believe that not only Zhiyao is waiting to watch the performance of the monarch and ministers of the Yue Kingdom, but the rest of the people are also waiting for what the monarch and ministers of the Yue Kingdom want to do?

Now that the sky is falling, there are tall people holding it up, so maybe some people are also waiting to see Zhiyao's jokes.

Anyway, Wenzhong seems to be controlling a gate of "Xinzheng", right?
As a result, Zhiyao pretended not to see it, and acted as if he was catching Zheng Jun outside the city who was sunken in mud and beat him fiercely, as if he would never care about other things unless he was wiped out.

Others will not say what they think, and there is one person who cannot remain silent.

Goujian came to Zhiyao's side, but Yurang stopped him when he wanted to move forward.

What a joke!
A person whose character is completely distrusted, especially a person who killed the king of a country with his own hands, would Yu Rang dare to let him get close to the object of his protection?
Zhiyao noticed the movement, she didn't seem to express anything superfluous in the past, and asked directly: "I don't know what advice Yue Jun has?"

Gou Jian looked at Yu Rang who was too vigilant, then at Zhi Yao who did not signal Yu Rang to retreat, and said, "The city gate has been taken, why is Jin Qing doing nothing?"

Zhiyao would not say that "Xinzheng" could be won by a sneak attack, but just looked at Goujian quietly with a playful expression on his face.

At that moment, Gou Jian had a feeling that he was completely seen through.

After a short while, Zhiyao said: "The king of Yue can lead his troops to go, if he succeeds, he will wait in place, and when he wants to wipe out the Zheng army in the wilderness, he will go with his troops; if he fails, he will welcome Doctor Wen back."

Gou Jian turned around and left.

Not long after, news came that Goujian led the remaining Vietnamese troops straight to the east. It seemed that he was going to leave without saying goodbye?
Zhiyao, who got the news, didn't say much, but it's a pity that there must be.

In this wave, Zhiyao mainly targeted the Wei family. If he had the opportunity to cut off more enemies, he would definitely attack. As a result, the monarchs and ministers of Chu State did not give the opportunity, and even Goujian slipped away.

Under the current state, it is difficult for Zhiyao to kill directly regardless of the influence.

In fact, even if Zhiyao killed all the princes of the alliance, the Zhi clan would not be able to take advantage of the chaos to wipe out all the countries in one fell swoop. It is better to solve the big trouble first with a clear goal.

"Knowing that the fortified city of 'Xinzheng' cannot be captured by a sneak attack, but we still want to make such a move. Is it to induce many parties to lose their troops to attack 'Xinzheng'?" Zhiyao thinks that the Yue Kingdom's monarchs and ministers have this kind of thinking. It's a little too naive, even treating others as idiots.

Of course, Gou Jian should be very clear about his current reputation. Based on the idea that it is always right to try, if he succeeds, he will make money, and if he fails or is exposed, his reputation will not be worse.

However, Goujian's departure put Wen Zhong on the back burner!

"What's going on? Since last night, how come this world has become something I don't know." Wen Zhong was almost terribly worried.

Handa was not surprised by Goujian's departure.

Earlier, the Chu army left first, leaving a Vietnamese army behind was of little use.

Therefore, Handa appreciated Goujian's departure with his army, thinking that the more strength Chu and Yue preserved now, the safer Zheng would be later.

As for Zheng Guo throwing in [-] to [-] troops, it seems that the troops outside the city will also be surrounded and wiped out, but they took Wei's two legions to be buried with them, no matter from which point of view it is a big profit.

Zheng Guojun and ministers understand that the Zheng army and the two legions of the Wei family died together, and the Jin country will definitely face a new civil strife, which means that Zheng Guo has a chance to breathe.

They also played an important role in the alliance of Chu State, Yue State and Zheng State, and then they will gain some right to speak in exchange for sacrifice.This is more important than anything else, so that it will not become cannon fodder that only pays for nothing, and maybe it can make Zheng Guo usher in the second ZTE?
A whole day passed, and the coalition forces under Zhiyao's command did not completely wipe out the Zheng army outside the city, and there were still a few parts of the Zheng army still stubbornly resisting.

In order to reduce casualties, Zhiyao ordered to stop the attack after the new night fell.

The fierce fighting during the day was relatively hard. For a long time, the fighting was fought in the rain, and a large number of casualties that should not have occurred increased.

"It's still the whereabouts of Wei Youju." Han Geng didn't dare to be alone with Zhiyao now, not because he had discovered anything, but purely out of caution.

Zhiyao seemed in a daze and did not respond to Han Geng's words.

Many people in the tent watched Zhiyao in a daze for a while, but Han Geng didn't get any response to what he said, so everyone could only continue quietly waiting for Zhiyao to react.

Zhiyao is not in a daze, closing her eyes to guess how the domestic military operations are going...
