I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 77 My backing is harder than yours (4200)

"The Central Army Zuo Wei got the military order to lead the army to 'Puyang', really..." Zhixuan gathered his brains and brains, and told what Zhao Yang did. He didn't get angry, but his face was very gloomy.

Wei Hua said matter-of-factly: "This act is domineering, and it's not what 'Qing' should do!"

Really, it wasn't the alliance between the old Wei family and the old Zhi family that made Wei Lu think that way, it was purely because Zhao Yang went too far this time.

If everyone is like Zhao Yang, disobeying orders and then directing superiors as subordinates, everything will be messed up!

What is the most excessive?It was Zhao Yang who forcibly took away the army of the Zhi family and other families, and was going to do something that might wipe out the entire army if Zhi Bi did not surrender.

The patriarchs from middle-level nobles were a little confused about how to express their stance, whether to comment on Zhao Yang like Wei Lu, or to speak good words for Zhao Yang.

Obviously it was Zhao Yang who was wrong, whoever was stupid to speak up for Zhao Yang now would be met with the wrath of the wise.

As for criticizing Zhao Yang along the way?They are well aware of the gap between status and family strength, so they can only choose to shut up and bow their heads, not showing any attitude.

Of course, the middle nobles must have offended Zhi Shi by doing this, but the degree of offending was not so severe.

Because Zhixuan sent someone to inform Zhao Yang to lead the army to meet up, their army still stayed at the "sacrifice" place and did not move for the time being.

Now Zhibi needs to make a choice, whether to act as Zhao Yang said, or to carry out the next action with his own will.

If you are a person with a strong temper and lack of reason, don't even think about it, you must immediately investigate Zhao Yang's disobedience. Do what you say.

Zhibi's character is forbearance, and he certainly does not lack in reason.

He explained the matter clearly, without changing his gloomy expression, he said, "Your general."

Wei Xu turned to Zhi Bi to face each other, and made a gesture of waiting for instructions.

"The next army will lead three 'divisions' to attack the Song Dynasty, and it will be a 'sacrifice' regardless of the outcome." Zhibi said.

Wei Hua responded: "No!"

The people in the military tent were surprised. Such an order meant that Zhixuan still obeyed Zhao Yang's opinion.

The Jin army with [-] chariots and about [-] infantry fighting the Song army with [-] chariots and about [-] infantry, is it impossible to be defeated according to previous examples?
Then Wei Lu finished fighting the Song army, and the next step was to stop the Zheng army who wanted to reinforce eastward, so that the coalition forces lacked Song and Zheng to join up.

Once Zheng Jun and Song Jun are unable to go to rescue "Puyang", the Jin Army will be able to form an absolute superiority in strength over the coalition forces of the princes. The goal that the Jin Army wants to achieve is not as simple as defeating the coalition forces of the princes. It is not surprising to sweep the cities of the Weiguo. It will be able to proceed.

This is also the reason why Zhixuan is very angry but willing to implement the plan proposed by Zhao Yang. No matter how angry you are, don't make life difficult for actual interests.

The army made all preparations, and the order to pull out the camp was issued.

Zhiyao and other juniors did not attend the meeting, and only later did they know what happened.

Many friends looked at Zhao Bolu in the wrong way. With such a father, would the son also be an unruly person?

Some precocious little friends, they are even thinking about how arrogant and domineering Zhao Yang will be after he becomes "Yuan Rong", whether he will be the next Luan Shu or the next combination of the three.

Things like Luan Shu or San Que are nothing, let alone the next Han Qi.

By the way, what happened to Han Qi?He pretended so well in front of Zhao Wu that Zhao Wu thought that he would be a business-oriented person, and he would not have imagined all kinds of nonsense after he took office.

With Han Qi as an example, Fan Yang imitated the example and even went too far. Without Wei Shu to mend the hole, Jin would have been playing tricks long ago.

Zhao Bolu is not blind, nor is he brainless. Naturally, he found that everyone looked at him strangely, and thought somewhat ashamedly: "What can I do? I can't control my father."

This time, many second generations followed, but Zhao Wuxie was not seen among them.One is that Zhao Wuxie's identity is not enough, and the biggest possibility is that the injury has not healed yet.

Each of them is now alone in a chariot, following in the middle of the large army, and is heading towards the direction of Weiguo.

Even if Wei Lu did not leave with three "divisions", the marching Jin army still looked mighty.

In fact, it is the same. Thousands of people are quite a lot, let alone more than 10 soldiers and nearly [-] auxiliary soldiers. There are nearly [-] people. A long dragon stretches from this end of the sky to the front and cannot be seen. to the end.

In the current era, the armed forces are not the army of the country, and even the family has no control over how many auxiliary soldiers the "soldiers" or "disciples" want to bring.

In the past, when the Jin army went to war, the participants could still be very generous. A soldier brought at least two followers, mainly to keep food and other supplies.Why?In addition to arming himself, Nafu also had to bring his own food.

As the "master", what can be decided is how many auxiliary soldiers to send out, emergency food, grass, ordnance and so on.The larger the family, the more military supplies it will carry, and vice versa.

Many friends have never seen this kind of scene at all, and they maintain a high level of excitement, but they dare not do things like yelling.

There are some 'simas' who patrolled the army back and forth in vehicles. Once they found out who was doing something wrong, they would give a verbal warning if it was light, or they could do nothing but pull them out and chop their heads off.

Their daily marching mileage is about 25 to 45 miles, whether it is fast or slow depends purely on the road conditions.

On the way, Zhiyao noticed a vassal country called "Yan". When she heard it, she was a little dazed, wondering if the country of Yan was not in Liaodong, and why it came to the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Later, Zhiyao knew that this "Yan" was Nanyan, a vassal state with a different surname, and also a small vassal state that was not popular.

"Yan Kingdom seems to have lost contact with the princes of the Central Plains for decades?" Zhiyao knew that Lao Zhi's fief bordered Yan State, but the two sides had no contact, which is really a strange thing.

When they marched to the border of "Qupu", news came back from the front, saying that Zhao Yang's troops had already fought with the Qi army and the Wei army, and the fighting broke out on the "Cao" side.

Camping one night, Zhiyao was summoned by Zhibi.

"I'll give you two 'brigades'. Zhao's son, Wei's son, and Han's son all have a 'brigade', and they form a 'division'." Zhixuan looked smiling, and gave Zhiyao military power, but no specific tasks.

So, it's about letting the little ones develop themselves?

Zhiyao also knows one more thing, and at the same time, Zhiyao created opportunities for herself to subdue a few younger brothers, and how many people she can convince depends on her ability!

The second generation has been competing since childhood, and the process may not be so bloody. They may make like-minded friends, and may also have a few lifelong enemies.

This "enemy for life" was not a mortal enemy in the past, at most it was a competitor who was not convinced by each other.

However, after Zhiyao's generation, many things are gradually changing.

The reason, of course, is that the Zhao family has laid a dead hand on the Fan family and the Zhonghang family. The competition between them is no longer limited to suppressing each other, and it seems that it has reached the point of life or death.

When Zhiyao gained the command of the three "brigades", he immediately adjusted the officers at all levels of the army, transferred some people he didn't know well, and replaced them with the little friends he brought.

At the same time, Zhiyao asked Zigong and Zilu to carefully investigate the composition of the army. They could not eliminate those who were over 40 years old and under the age of [-]. team.

There is no way to do it, that’s what Nafu is all about. Basically, the father’s death is the son’s top. As a result, there is no shortage of young soldiers in various countries; there are many elderly people whose younger generations have not grown up, and they can only drag their old bodies to continue. Fulfill the duty of payment for the family.

"Gongsun, those who are 40 years old are only three hundred, and those under the age of six hundred." Zigong actually didn't understand why Zhiyao would do that, just follow the order.

So, of the [-] soldiers in the three "brigades" under Zhiyao's command, about [-] of them are old and weak?

Zilu didn't understand it that well at first, but later he found that it was a wise arrangement to eliminate the old and the young. For the time being, no fighting broke out, and the place where he could show his advantage was in the marching.

To put it simply, there is a peak moment of physical fitness in a person's life, usually between the ages of 20 and 35. At this stage, not only is physical strength sufficient, but strength and will are also the strongest stage.

The soldiers below are not only physically immature, but also absolutely lacking in experience.

Soldiers over the age of 40 have enough experience, but their physical fitness has declined, and some people will even become soldiers because of their accumulated experience.

Zilu felt that he had gained another trick in military knowledge, just to understand the importance of the structure of soldiers to the army, it was tantamount to discovering a treasure!
Therefore, Zilu put forward the requirement to ensure that the quality of soldiers is as consistent as possible, and he thinks that Zhiyao is a person who is good at military affairs.

What are the facts?Zhiyao may not be very good at using soldiers, she still knows some military common sense.To put it simply, it is not necessary to practice it personally, but the degree of mastery of theoretical knowledge is quite high.

The army led by Zhixuan was divided into four parts, one part was Wei Lu's three "divisions" staying at the "sacrifice" site, the other part was Zhiyao's main "division", Cheng Shuo led two "divisions" Wandering around Zhiyao's headquarters as an escort, he personally led the main force to rescue Zhao Yang's troops.

As for the coalition forces, the Song army was stopped by Wei Lu's troops, and the two sides fought in a surrounding area called "Pingqiu" near the Jishui River; the Zheng army was still in the stage of assembly, and it will be seen later whether it will go directly to Weiguo to participate in the war, or Wei Lu will defeat Song. The army then intercepted Zheng Jun again.

Zhiyao, who once again led the army to fight, was extremely calm, with Zilu around him, and Cheng Shuo on the periphery, no matter how panicked he was, he wondered what was going on.

In addition, most of the enemy troops are besieging Zhao Yang's troops in "Cao", and there are only a few small groups of troops on the periphery. Zhiyao has no interest in catching these small groups of troops, and taking the troops to start the raid from the "Bang" level stronghold live.

In fact, if there was no Zhishen on Zhao Yang's side, Zhixuan would not rush over there in a hurry.

Therefore, no matter whether Zhao Yang's subordinates command the superiors, or take the troops as bait, they are so confident at all!
Zhiyao, who is committed to mopping up the strongholds of the defending country, is paying attention to the war in "Cao", and the news that comes over is rather strange. For example, after the meeting, Zhao Yang and Zhixuan had a quarrel, and there are different opinions about why they quarreled.

The Jin army and the enemy army only fought a wave in "Cao", and the coalition forces retreated to "Puyang" under the leadership of the princes, seeing that another "Puyang" defense battle was about to start.

"Is it because the enemy's losses were slight?" Wei Ju thought it must be so.

Also.

Zhao Yang lured the enemy army to the vicinity of "Cao" by committing a personal risk. He thought that after the arrival of Zhizhi, he could destroy as many enemy troops as possible. Jin's reinforcements will definitely retreat when they arrive.

Han Geng said: "If we can make a detour..."

Yes, yes, once Chibi took the risk of taking some detours to intercept the enemy's rear, even if he couldn't completely wipe out the enemy, he would still be able to achieve more victories.

The problem is that Zhixuan himself is extremely displeased with Zhao Yang's overreach, and the most displeased is that he took Zhi's eldest son Zhishen and two "teachers" into danger, and he will definitely choose to make a rescue at the slightest price.

On that matter, as the "Yuan Rong", the wise man was not generous enough, and Zhao Yang, who was messing around, was super shameful.If you want to say who is right and who is wrong, you can tell at a glance from causal reasoning.

Where are Zhiyao and others now?They were in the territory of "Southern Yan", they didn't come to do all kinds of raids, they just escorted the harvest they got across the river back to the territory of Jin.

There is a river-crossing bridge called "Jijin" on Nanyan's side. Zhiyao doesn't know who built it, as long as he knows it can be used.

They raided a wide area, and once entered Cao State by mistake and attacked the wrong target, but Cao State’s monarch and ministers did not protest, and the gains made by the Jin army would definitely not be returned; after entering Nanyan, they were more disciplined, because they provoked The loss of Nanyan will make the Jin army who fought in Weiguo worry about the future.

"When shall I go to 'Puyang'?" This is what Han Geng wanted to know the most.

The rest of the people all looked at Zhiyao who was observing the bridge across the river.

Zhiyao, who had been watching for a while, found that it made sense to choose "Jijin" to build the bridge. The reason is that the river bed here is shallow and the water flow speed is relatively gentle.

"What's the use of going to 'Puyang'?" Zhiyao asked with a strange face.

Han Geng said: "I have three 'divisions' of soldiers."

Yes, that's right, they have one "teacher" here, plus Cheng Shuo's two "teachers" in the role of "nanny", there are three "teachers" in total.

Among these three "divisions", two "divisions" and two "brigades" belonged to the Zhi family. It must be Zhi Zhi's intentions not to join the "Puyang" battlefield. How can Han Geng, a junior, make random guesses?

From their point of view, it must be that Zhishi is not willing to suffer losses. It is simply too superficial to have similar thoughts.

The three "divisions" located in "Jijin" are obviously the strength that Zhixuan handed over to Zhiyao to use. Zhiyao would be foolish to choose to go to "Puyang" where there is no shortage of troops!
Now that someone has already asked, Zhiyao needs to talk about what they are going to do next.

"Our army can cross the big river, take a detour to 'Ma Ling', attack the eastern border of Wei State, or enter Qi State."

That "Ma Ling" is in the northeast of Weiguo.

Zhiyao itself is more inclined to invade Qi.

After all, the state of Jin really has no shortage of troops participating in the war in "Puyang".

All the friends had different expressions after hearing this...
