I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 90
With the cooperation of the Zhongxing family, the Zhi family easily took over the northern city wall of "Puyang". Wei Junyuan, who was staying at the height of Zhangtai, almost fell down.

Subsequently, the Jin army entering the city was divided into three parts, and cooperated with the friendly forces outside the city to attack the west and south walls of "Puyang", and the remaining Jin army went straight to Miyagi.

Wei Junyuan, who had recovered a bit, cursed the Zhongxing clan, while the rest of the nobles of the Wei state were in a mess.

People from Qi State, Zheng State, and Song State were also panicked by the development of the situation. While they didn't understand the situation, their guard against the Zhongxing and Fan surnames skyrocketed. The battle further exacerbated the chaotic situation on the defense side of "Puyang".

Fan's troops were attacked by Wei Jun, Qi Jun, Zheng Jun, and Song Jun. At first, they didn't react at all. They didn't hear the news of Zhongxing's betrayal until they suffered heavy losses. The friendly army did not accept the explanation at all, so they could only continue to fight.

There are not many Zheng Jun and Song Jun in the city of "Puyang", the capital of Wei, so that the number of Wei Jun can't be counted as many. The real number is Qi Jun, followed by Zhongxing and Fan.

Because of Zhong Xingyin's backstab, Wei Jun, Qi Jun, Song Jun, and Zheng Jun no longer trusted Zhong Xing's and Fan's troops.

The result, of course, was that the Zhongxing clan betrayed their allies, causing mutual distrust among the coalition forces, and even Weiguo refused to allow the rest of the allies to enter Miyagi.

The Jin army launched an attack early in the morning and took control of the city wall before noon. The coalition forces of the princes and the Fan family retreated to gather outside the palace city, and the large-scale fighting temporarily slowed down.

Cheng Shuo, who was trying to capture Miyagi, took his headquarters and evacuated near Miyagi in time before he realized that the situation had changed.

During the retreat, Cheng Shuo ran into Fan's troops, thought of something and didn't seem to launch an attack, so he retreated aside to let Fan's troops pass by.

That scene was seen by people from all over the world, and Fan's troops were attacked by the Qi army again when they approached Miyagi.

To put it horribly, the people from the Fan family in "Puyang" city were the worst. Because of Zhongxing's betrayal, they did not gain the trust of the coalition forces, and fell into a situation where they would fight anyone they encountered.

In this situation, the leader of the Fan family must have thought of a way.

"Ji Qin to see?" Zhi Yao has already entered the city.

Who is this Qin Ji?He fought twice in the "Battle of Mo", once defeated Zhao Yang and chased him to the vicinity of "Hukou", so he can be regarded as a good fighter.

The Fan family's army in "Puyang" was commanded by Ji Qin. After a lot of trouble, there were less than 6000 people left from more than [-].

Zigong asked, "Do you want to see him?"

The current battle has slowed down, the attacker needs to prepare for the attack on Miyagi, and the defender is still in a state of panic.

Zhiyao thought for a while and nodded to express her willingness to meet.

Not long after, Ji Qin who removed his armor and handed over his weapon came over.

In fact, asking for a meeting without a weapon in wartime is a sign of weakness, and removing the armor is an insult.

However, Zhiyao didn't want the kind of thing that "life ends at the last moment before victory" to happen, and she definitely didn't want people who were not Zhiyao to bring weapons within five meters of her.

"Gongsun Keqi's capital, looting the ritual vessels, congratulations to Jin!" Ji Qin didn't say anything else, and first congratulated Zhiyao for his career.

Zhiyao was not modest, and said with a smile: "Yao has heard about the ability of a doctor to command an army, so he can be regarded as a husband."

Now saying "husband" means "hero".

The two exchanged a wave of business, and they must talk about business next.

Ji Qin restrained his smile and said, "Gongsun made a mistake in attacking the capital this time."

"Oh?" Zhiyao knew why Ji Qin said that, it was nothing more than Zhongxing's backstab, even if he took down the capital of Weiguo, it would not be a glorious thing.

Ji Qin said very seriously: "After today, the alliance will no longer work together. This is Gongsun's fault."

Makes sense!

Although it has reached the stage of disintegration, after forming an alliance, they can still trust each other. Even if the positions are no longer consistent, the alliance will be clearly terminated. Only a very small number of shameless princes will renege on the battle.

Zhiyao can't recognize it!

He made a smile and said: "It is not Yao's fault, it has happened in ancient times. Before there was Song Wei's rebellion against the alliance, and later there was Qilu's rebellion against the alliance. Dare I ask if the doctor can see the princes, do you have a word or two?"

Ji Qin's military talent may be good, but he is just a doctor, even if he can meet a certain king of a country, he has almost no chance to have a serious conversation.

Therefore, Ji Qin must have never said similar words to a certain prince.

What Ji Qin said actually meant the same thing: the Xun family made them miserable!

Zhiyao, who can understand, is unwilling to admit anything, and then sees clearly the plight of the Fan family in the city, and then Ji Qin came to ask for an interview, how could he not know why.

"Heaven, fate, the matter is over, why don't you return to me?" Zhiyao said.

It is persuading to capitulate, but it is not persuading to capitulate in the conventional sense.

In a conventional surrender, the person who surrenders means that everything is at the disposal of the victor, and then the ransom is paid, or it becomes the property of the victor.

Ji Qin immediately bowed down and said, "I would like to serve Zhi Bo!"

This is surrendering to the Zhi clan, isn't it surrendering to Zhiyao?At the same time, the object of effect is wisdom.

Others might not like it. They think it's hypocritical for Ji Qin and other Fan family members to fall into such a situation. They are very likely to take Ji Qin down in a fit of anger and start a war immediately.

Zhiyao, on the other hand, felt that it didn't matter. Sooner or later, everything in Lao Zhi's family belonged to her. If serving her grandfather, wouldn't that be the same as serving herself?
"If I want to achieve a great career, how can I not have helpers? Not only do I have to cultivate myself, but I must also recruit good talents from the outside world!" Zhiyao thought.

In this way, Ji Qin returned to the Zhi family with nearly two thousand soldiers from the Fan family.They just tore off Fan's family crest, and turned around like Zhongxing's.

Knowing that the Zhi family has accepted the people from the Fan family's army again, they are a little bit shown by Zhi Yao again.

"Master, Zhiyao is trying to win over the Fan family and the Zhongxing family!" Gubu Ziqing is Zhao Yang's counselor. He is better than others if he has a different head. If you find anything or have any guesses, you must inform Zhao Yang as soon as possible. Martingale, the head of the family.

After the Jin army cleared the enemy troops on the city wall, Zhao Yang brought enough guards and entered the city without notifying anyone.

Later, Zhi Zhi, who learned that Zhao Yang entered the city, was also stepping up preparations.

Knowing that Zhao Yang entered the city, even if his physical condition was not so permissible, Zhixuan would follow him into the city. What he was afraid of was that Zhao Yang would use his identity to suppress others, and even do the operation of picking peaches.

Or in other words, even if Zhao Yang didn't do the peach-picking business, if he shamelessly snatched some benefits, Zhiyao's current status would definitely not be able to hold back if he didn't turn his face completely.

"If you have to do it, you can't do it!" Zhao Yang could only salivate.

No one of the Fan and Zhongxing surrendered would surrender to the Zhao. It was even foreseeable that after the demise of the Fan and Zhonghang, the Zhao clan would face the danger of being attacked and killed at any time for a long time.

At this stage, the Jin army has blocked the enemy forces in a large scale near Miyagi, and the rest of the area is cleaning up the resistance forces in the city.

Zhiyao still doesn't know that Zhao Yang has entered the city and is watching what is going on in Miyagi.

The capital of Weiguo is located on the bank of a big river, but they didn't bring water into the city from the big river, and the city didn't have a moat at the same time.

When building the city now, some mountains will be included when necessary, and Miyagi will be built on the mountains.

In fact, even if there is no mountain, the construction of Miyagi generally requires a very high foundation, so that it will not threaten Miyagi in the event of waterlogging.

Zhiyao can see the palace behind the palace wall because the palace is located on such a high terrain that even the buildings can be seen even if the city wall blocks it.

Today's architectural development is just like that. It is said that palaces and palaces only exist in chapters, towers and pavilions, but in fact there are no wonders of Wei Wei's great city.

There are also mountains in Linzi, the capital city of Qi State, but the palace city of Qi State was not built on top of the mountain, and the heightening was carried out, but the degree is far lower than that of Zheng State's project.

The palace city of the Wei State was obviously built for the convenience of the mountain. The area of ​​the city was not as large as "Linzi", and the area covered by the palace city was larger than that of the Qi State palace city.

Zhiyao summoned Zaiyu and said: "Go and see the 'general' of the Qi army, and ask if the flag will be lowered."

This is to allow Qi to choose to surrender and lose half.

In the city of Puyang, the capital of Wei, both the Zhongxing clan and the Fan clan belonged to the Zhi clan, and the Qi army has the largest number of soldiers still resisting.

Another point is that Zhiyao believes that Qi's military strength should be properly preserved, lest the Zhao family take too much advantage after Qi really collapses.

Zaiyu, who has become a retainer of the Zhi family, obeys his orders seriously, and will go to see the general of the Qi army in person when he goes down to prepare.

"Gongsun, the enemy army is panic-stricken, and there is nothing solid in the formation, but they can go down with a drum!" Gao Qiang just transferred from the Zhongxing clan to the Zhi clan, and he needs credit for it!

Zhiyao said with a smile: "Don't worry, doctor, attack the body first, attack the heart first."

Those who heard this sentence felt that it was a treasure trove of military tactics, so they quickly kept it in their minds.

But at this time, the gate of Miyagi opened a gap, and some guards came out in a line. The people walking in the front were not wearing armor. Judging from the flags held by the line, it was obviously a team of envoys.

It happened that Zhi Bi entered the city and rushed over after asking about Zhi Yao's location. Before asking Zhao Yang what he had done, Wei Guo's envoy just arrived.

"Greetings to Jin Zhengqing on behalf of the Widowed Monarch." The envoy will not forget etiquette, especially now that Weiguo desperately needs etiquette to maintain dignity.

But here's where it gets a little weird.

Generally, the king of a country will only greet the king of a country. Even if the "Qing" of Jin is higher than the king of a small country, there is still a gap in status. There is no reason for the king of a country to send someone to greet the Zhengqing of Jin.

Zhiyao said to Zhixuan in a low voice: "Wei Jun asks for an alliance."

The outer city was breached, and the palace city was surrounded layer by layer. Weiguo's continued resistance was a desperate struggle. Of course, it would be best to end the war decently.

Why is it "seeking alliance" instead of "seeking surrender"?Here is the unique diplomatic etiquette of the Spring and Autumn Period.

However, it is obvious that the Jin army is not only as simple as soldiers approaching the city, but also kills them all. If they take down Miyagi, they can destroy the country of Wei if they do it.

Let's see what kind of covenant Wei Junyuan proposes to form!
