I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 415 Marquis!

In the new round of civil war in Jin State, if it is said that the annexation of Zhishi's place is the smoothest, there is no doubt that it is the action against the southern border.

For a long time, most of the southern border of the Jin State belonged to the Fan family, and their rule there was deeply rooted.

The last time the Wei family accepted the Zhi family's reconciliation so easily, the main reason was that the Wei family wanted to quickly annex the Fan family's fiefdom and population in the south, and chose to accept the Shigaoyi branch that was changed to the Fan family. Shi is clearly the most favorable.

Later, it wasn't that the Wei family didn't try to eliminate Fan's influence, but the previous generation hadn't died yet. How could the influence of the Fan family for more than a hundred years be wiped out so easily?

This time, what should I say about Shi Gaoyi's role in Zhishi?It's not a timely gift, but it's probably just a kind of icing on the cake.

Of course, Shigaoyi's help must be helpful. He has to recognize how much he has contributed, and mistakenly think that he has played an irreplaceable role. If he shows insatiable greed, there will be no good end.

After all, Wei Shi's lesson is right there, why should Zhi Shi ignore it?
In modern terms, once Shi Gaoyi is not satisfied, Zhiyao will not allow such a bomb that can explode at any time exists.

"The annexation of the Wei family didn't go so smoothly. Will Weiss' death improve the situation?" Zhiyao has already returned to the city of 'Xintian' and is checking the new battle report.

Right now, the Wei family's fiefdom in the south has been completely controlled by the Zhi family. When it can be stabilized, it depends on whether the series of measures ordered by Zhi Yao will be useful to the Wei people.

Wei's fiefs in other regions?The Fox family occupied a part of the middle and lower reaches of the river, and the Zhong family stopped in place. On the contrary, the Zhi family's victory was relatively sufficient.

Speaking of it, it is not to blame the non-government clans of the Jin state for grabbing power. Simply put, the male clans of the Jin state are really useless.

For example, this time, Zhi gave Zhong a chance to expand, but they couldn't even grasp the opportunity.

It's not that the Zhong family doesn't want to, it can only be said that their combat effectiveness is just like that, it's no problem to bully those weak countries abroad, and it's not bad to not be beaten violently against the rest of the high-ranking families in the country.

"The three 'divisions' of the Zhong family can't beat the four 'brigades' of the Wei family stationed in the city. It's really expected." Zhi Yao put down the information.

If the battle took place in the wild, maybe the three "divisions" of the Zhong family could fight back and forth with the four "brigades" of the Wei family.

In the city's offensive and defensive battle, the defenders have a greater advantage, not to mention the upper limit of Zhong's combat power.

Besides, the Wei family is facing life and death, either without the will to fight, or with a will to fight.

The Zhong family was facing the Wei family's defenders who were determined to die. It was far more difficult to fight than usual. The ratio of troops was almost three to one. If they couldn't attack the city, they couldn't. Isn't it normal?

Generally speaking, the Zhong family is still not strong enough, which can be seen from the fact that the Fox family can capture some cities of the Wei family.

The Fox family took advantage of this wave. They faced some Wei family fiefdoms with fewer defenders. Although they took advantage of it, the facts speak louder than words, and people only care about the results that have already happened.

Zhiyao was curious about a question, where did Wei's heavy infantry go.In the "Wei" city, I only saw about a thousand or so, and the rest seemed to be missing.

Logically speaking, the Wei family should garrison the heavy infantry in the "Wei" city. Even if it will eventually be consumed on the battlefield, it will be able to hold back the main force of the Zhi family for a longer period of time.

However, Weiss left some heavy infantry to garrison in "Wei" city, and more heavy infantry were not in "Han" and did not show up on the battlefield in the northwest, so they disappeared inexplicably.

There is another point that puzzles Zhiyao: "Since the Wei family can migrate in an organized manner, why don't they coordinate all parties to deploy resistance..."

Something seems wrong?It's not that the Wei family did not resist, and even armed a large number of young and strong men, but they did it hastily, causing some troubles to the Zhi family and other families, and failed to change the result in the end.

As for the Wei family starting to migrate?That was after confirming that the southern border would definitely fall, it became clear that the resources and population of the western border alone would not be able to support the alliance of the Zhi clan, the Han clan, the Fox clan, and the Zhong clan.

The once very powerful Xian, Zhao, and Que clans, especially the Que clan, fell under the siege one after another. The Wei clan really didn't think he was stronger than the Xian, Zhao, or Que clans.

Among those families, the Zhao family gave the Wei family a good final effect. Knowing that they couldn't bear it, they made a timely breakup. At least after Jin was removed from the list, there might be a possibility of a comeback.

In short, most of the Wei family's heavy infantry disappeared, and even some core members of the Wei family could not confirm their whereabouts.

It wasn't until Zhiyao was about to leave for Song that definite news came that Wei's disappearing heavy infantry appeared in Qin, and Wei Huo became a doctor of Qin.

That is to say, in addition to transferring the population to the mountains in the northwest of the Wei family, some of them also migrated to the Qin State, and the most elite group of them became part of the Qin State?

"The Wei family in flight really couldn't support heavy infantry, and they would end up useless if they tried hard. They transferred to Qin and obtained a large area of ​​land. It seems that they can maintain it? But where did they get the confidence to think that the next I won't deal with Qin?" Zhiyao felt more and more confused.

How could Zhiyao, who knew the "truth of history" let Qin go?Even if it wasn't a concentrated effort to attack and destroy in one wave, there would also be no time for Qin Guoan to develop.

One fact is that the current state of Qin is not easy to destroy, and there are too many nomadic tribes. Once the soldiers of the Zhi family press in, they can completely abandon the cities and land, change the whole country to nomadic habits, or go further west. migration.

If the state of Qin migrated to the far west, the Zhi family really couldn't catch up too far.

After all, the Zhi family needs to solve more than one Qin country, and it is very likely that they will be held back by the southern countries.

"As long as the land of Hexi is not lost, the Qin State without Hexi will not be a complete Qin State. I will definitely be able to replace Jin and get a complete Qi State. The next step is to destroy Lu State and Yan State, which is equivalent to controlling half of the Central Plains. In hand. One day, one accidentally loses the land of Hexi, and Qin can only defend it, how can the strength come from the east?" Zhiyao was looking at the map of mountains and rivers.

One thing to understand is that a map is a map, and a map of mountains and rivers is a map of mountains and rivers. Both are maps. One is a simple city label, and the other has villages, mountains, forests, water sources and enemy labels in addition to cities. Markings such as where the party's troops may be.

After taking down the Wei Clan, the Zhi Clan's sphere of influence increased by about one-third. How could the population increase by about 50?
Now, Zhiyao has regarded the Fox family and the Zhong family as part of the country after the founding of the country. About this point, he had talked with the current patriarch and the eldest son of the two families in "Xintian" last time.

Although they were horrified after hearing the hint, they could see that Mrs. Hu was more excited, and Mrs. Zhong expressed that she would follow Mrs. Zhi when she was entangled.

The reason why Zhiyao pointed out that she will turn her family into a country now is of course that Zhou Tianzi has already done it, and will officially confer canonization during this "Shangqiu" alliance.

In order to get the canonization of a marquis, the Zhi family not only invested a lot of money, but also sent [-] sets of armor and [-] various weapons according to the request of Emperor Zhou.

Of course, political commitments are indispensable, such as promising that Zhou Tianzi will continue the role of carrying the flag and maintaining the detached status of the Zhou royal family.

Originally, the Zhou royal family wanted to agree on how much the Zhi family would pay each year after turning their family into a country, or to restore the tribute from the princes to the Zhou royal family, but Zhi Xuwu refused.

In fact, Zhi Xuwu can agree on behalf of the Zhi family. Whether the Zhi family should do that after the founding of the country may depend on the mood?
However, political promises are not a joke. One day Zhi Clan does not destroy the Zhou royal family, which means that the promises made will be fulfilled, all because it is related to the credibility of a country.

Because of the special situation, Zhiyao also brought the special envoy of Emperor Zhou, who was Shan Gongyuan from Shan Kingdom.

Single country?A small country with a big booger, once in the period of Duke Dao of Jin and Zhao Wu, the small life of Shan country was relatively moist, waiting for Zhao Wu to return to its original shape immediately after his death.

Due to the need to bring Shan Gongyuan's relationship, Zhiyao can only choose to take the "Mengjin" route.

In fact, if there is no such thing as canonization, Zhiyao should not leave the country under the current situation.

And to be canonized in front of the princes is to be justified.

Really, compared with Zhou Tianzi's special envoy who went to Zhishi's territory for canonization, there is no doubt that the canonization will be more legitimate with the princes as witnesses

Why canonize the Marquis of Zhiyao?The reason why the royal family of Zhou sought it was that the Zhi family had high meritorious service, and especially pointed out that he was still obedient to the royal family of Zhou.

It doesn't matter how high the merit is. Ji Zhou is not a dynasty that determines rewards based on merit. What they value is inheritance.

The Zhou royal family used the reason of obedience to them to canonize them, which is actually far more reasonable than other reasons. The reason is that there have been many similar situations in history. It is not an isolated case, and it is not unexpected to happen again.

In fact, it's not that important to be obedient or not, the most important thing is that once Zhishi plays rough, the Zhou royal family can't even handle it for a month!
"If we want to capture the Man clan, how many soldiers will we need?" Shan Gongyuan looked very young, and his personality seemed rather naive.

The Zhi family has not completely solved the Wei family yet, and it is very likely that they will have to deal with the coalition forces of the princes next. Even if there is no other reason, the Zhi family still needs to complete the second five-year plan. Shi?
so to speak?Not only will Zhiyao not send troops to the barbarian clan for a short time, but it is very likely that he spent money to buy the control of "Mengjin" from Shan Guo.

If the United States is not willing, in five or six years the United States will disappear from the map.

The reason is not complicated, one is "Baimajin" and the other is "Mengjin" where you can travel at any time without being troubled by seasons and river water levels.

Just out of strategic needs, Zhiyao should have everything in hand to prevent the enemy from entering Zhi's hinterland!
