Spring and Autumn I Am King

The map of Song State is shaped like a goldfish, which is divided into two parts by the midline. 【Full text read..】

In the official office of the Le Clan in Sicheng, Daiyi, Zhao Wuxi pointed at the map and said to Le Mix: "The Fourth Young Master and Uncle Xiao's Daxin rebels have already taken control of Shangqiu, only Miyagi is still in the hands of the monarch, but since the monarch is willing to go down The edict was given to this generation, and I thought it was under control. Now the young master has named himself the prince, but fortunately there is Gongsun Jiu here in Daiyi. If the rebels dare to murder the monarch, he will be immediately appointed as the new monarch..."

Nanzi is still unknown, but surprisingly, Gongsun Jiu, who was with her, was sent to Daiyi. The little Gongsun was dizzy, and he didn't know what to do when he asked three questions. He only remembered that he entered the tunnel. As soon as he saw the light, he was stunned. When he woke up, he was already in Daiyi, which made Nanzi's whereabouts once again. into a fan.

When the goddess disappeared, Le Mi suddenly looked flustered and lost his square inch. He originally took the soldiers of the Le clan to Huangchi, which is on the border with Zheng State, to build a fortress. After hearing about the change in Shangqiu, he rushed back to Daiyi. It is also a fortune among misfortunes. After the rebels reached Mengcheng, they stopped. The strength of the Sicheng Le clan was preserved in the turmoil, and now they can pull four or five thousand people.

It is a pity that in July, the farmers began to harvest grain, but under the chaos of the Song Dynasty, the agricultural season was delayed.

In this regard, Zhao Wuxi was very firm: "No delay, there are still more than 400 cavalry soldiers left in the military, so you can guard the south, and my uncle will organize soldiers in the rear to harvest the food of the six cities of the Le family. If there is a chance, go beyond the control. You can also go to the enemy area to cut millet!"

Even birds and squirrels know that it is necessary to store food for winter in autumn, and the same is true for conquests between people. The ancients have long said that if there is not enough food, there will be no soldiers. When the end of the turmoil is unknown, ensuring the harvest and storage of food is the first priority. Perhaps in the confrontation period in winter, one more stone and one less corn is the key to deciding the outcome!

Le Min himself has no opinion, but fortunately, he can follow good manners. When the time reached the beginning of August, the new grains of the various towns of the Le clan entered the warehouse, and under the cover of the cavalry, they continued to cross the control line to grab grain on the other side's territory. Zhao Wuxi called this method "hitting the grass valley".

The small conflict gradually turned into a tug-of-war between pawns, but it never escalated into a decisive battle. Both sides were very cautious, and both were following the established pattern of civil strife in the Spring and Autumn Period: looking for foreign aid.

...

In military geography, the "strife" that is located in the core of a certain combat area and where the roads of all parties meet is often referred to as a "hub area" or "lock-and-key location". it's warring double

The hot spots of confrontation and contention. Its gains and losses have a great impact on the outcome of the war. If you take control of this area first, you will be in an advantageous position.

Song Kingdom and Zheng Kingdom are such places.

The Song Dijin led the river and shielded Huaixu, where the boats and cars meet. Shangqiu is a flat place with all directions, and there are no obstacles for vehicles and horses to pass.

Zheng and Song are not only geographically important, but their national strength is also relatively strong among the princes of the Central Plains. Each has about a thousand chariots, and the influence is very important in the battle for hegemony among nations. Several major battles in the Spring and Autumn Period, such as the Battle of Chengpu, were caused by Jin and Chu's struggle for Song Dynasty, while the Battle of Pi, the Battle of Wei, and the Battle of Yanling were caused by Jin and Qin and Chu's struggle for Zheng. As for Qi, Jin, and Chu's respective actions to attack Zheng and Song, there are too many to enumerate.

Therefore, among the princes of the Central Plains, Zheng and Song were the most frequently invaded by foreign powers and suffered the most disasters. The reason is that these two countries are located in the core of the East Asian continent, which is the original sin!

Song State borders many states. The stakes involved are great, so once there is civil strife, it will attract countless covets and interference, and they are eager to support their own power in Song.

The Fish and Stone Rebellion 70 years ago. The Huaxiang Rebellion 20 years ago attracted the surrounding powers, especially the Huaxiang Rebellion, which lasted for three years. Song territory became a pot of porridge.

This time is no exception. It goes without saying on Zhao Wuxi's side that Uncle Cao took revenge against Song, and no matter which side wins, he must ask for some thoughts of Cao's loss of territory. After Zhao Wuxi returned to Daiyi, he sent a division to the border. clamoring to enter.

On the Xilu side, Zhao Wuxi also sent people back to mobilize five hundred soldiers and one thousand soldiers from the city, and the rest of the standing army and reserve army continued to stay in case of unexpected events.

As a doctor, privately deploying troops to participate in other countries’ civil strife is another kind of arrogance. Zigong in Taoqiu dutifully helped to transport the baggage, leading the Zhao army to the south, while secretly sighing.

However, Zhao Wuxi was forced to get involved in the disaster of his in-laws. In theory, it makes sense, but he didn't know that in Qufu, would the Master let Lu State get involved in the Song Chaos?

The result was negative, but Luhou was addicted to participating in foreign affairs, and eagerly wanted to join in. But Sanhuan was conservative and indifferent to anything outside Lu, and so was Confucius. He pondered for a long time after receiving a request from his disciple Sima Geng for help, and then made a response that most resembled his style.

"Confucius, the great uncle of the State of Lu, strongly condemned the rebellion of Uncle Xiao Daxin and the Fourth Young Master..." Zhao Wuxi shook his head helplessly. It was a scene that seemed familiar.

...

"Is there any reinforcements in the Lu Nationality?" Chen Yin, the real leader of the Le family, asked with concern.

"Nothing, Sima Ziniu is not angry, he has already left the country of Lu, and plans to come to vote for me." Zhao Wuxi smiled bitterly, since the country of Lu did not intend to interfere, then his arrogance as a doctor of the country of Lu who sent troops privately could be regarded as solid. , Will San Huan, who is fighting outside and fighting inside, will use this as an excuse to suddenly attack himself?

Although Zhang Mengtan once remonstrated that he hoped that he would only be involved in the Song Chaos too deeply, so as not to care about one thing and lose the other, but how could he just walk away now? Helping the Sicheng Le clan to keep the basics is Zhao Wuxi's bottom line.

What's more, although Le Lingzi is safe, Nanzi still has no news... Although he can't figure out how he feels about this seductive daughter-in-law, he is still a little concerned.

Chen Yin sighed: "Lu's soldiers have no fighting strength, and they don't count on them. I wonder if the Zhao clan of Jin can send troops to help?" Zhao clan defeated Qi in one fell swoop in last year's war. If the main force of the Zhao clan can come, the outcome of this chaos will no longer be a problem.

Facing Chen Yin's earnest gaze, Zhao Wuxi suddenly remembered that when King Zhuang of Chu surrounded Song, and Jin was defeated in the Battle of Pi, he thought, "Although the whip is long, it is not as long as the belly of a horse. Unable to contend". The Jin people could not send troops to help, and they did not want Song to surrender too soon, so they sent an envoy. The messenger was captured by the Chu people. He asked him to go to Shangqiu to tell the Song people to descend quickly, but the messenger said that the reinforcements from Jin State were coming...

The honest and honest people of Song believed so, and for three years a fake promise of Jin, they refused to surrender, which led to the change of sons and food. The tragic image of dissecting and cooking.

Now, Zhao Wuxi was thinking, if he said, "Master Zhao is up, it's coming!" Will it make the military of Le and Xiang's hearts calm?

So he replied: "I have already sent a letter for help, but I'm afraid I haven't reached Xintian yet. Although the six ministers are in charge of their own affairs, and the Zhao family has crossed Taihang and traveled thousands of miles to come to help, it is not easy to do..."

After hearing this, Chen Yin's face was full of disappointment.

"But my father's temperament Chen Jiazai should know. If he learns that his in-laws are in trouble, he will never take it lightly. When he gets the news, he will definitely raise troops and come to help the Le family!"

It's not that Zhao Wuxi lied, Zhao Yang's character is somewhat different from that of the monarchs and ministers of the Jin Kingdom in all dynasties, less conspiracy and deceit, but more... heroic?

It takes one or two hundred years for the old Zhao family to produce such a person. There was Zhao Jianzi before, and then there was King Wuling. They are like two strange peaks, which laid the foundation of Zhao's country and prosperity.

When Chen Yin heard the words, he was relieved a little, and then frowned again: "I'm just worried now. Which countries will come to help from Uncle Xiao Daxin and the Fourth Young Master?"

Just as Le Min was pacing over, he said, "Young Master Di and Young Master Chen occupy the southwestern part of Song State, bordering Chen State. Will Chen Guohui send troops to help?"

Zhao Wuxi and Zhang Mengtan often talk about the general situation of the world on weekdays, and his observation of the situation is far better than that of his eldest brother. He replied: "Chen State is now sandwiched between Wu and Chu. Betrayal."

When Master Wu entered Ying, he sent someone to summon Chen Ren to help him. Chen Huaigong didn't help Wu or Chu because the people's public debate was pending, so he closed the border and defended himself. Two years ago, King Helu of Wu summoned Chen Huaigong again. Chen Huaigong was afraid, so he had to go to Wu State. Helu was angry that Chen Huaigong didn't come last time, and detained him, and soon he died in Wu State.

The people of the Chen country then established the son of Duke Huai as the king, and the first emperor died in Wu. But Wu Guo is strong and strong, Chen Guo may face Wu people's crusade at any time, how can he still have the intention to interfere in Song Chao?

"What's more, even if Chen Ren joins, his generation can only convene an army, which is nothing to worry about. The key now is still in the three kingdoms of Chu, Wu, and Qi..."

Thinking of these three behemoths, Chen Yin, who was nearly forty years old, remembered his childhood experiences and murmured: "If the Three Kingdoms join, this turmoil will be no different from the Huaxiang Rebellion twenty years ago!"

Zhao Wuxi made an assertion: "First of all, the people of Chu will never come."

Le Mi asked at a loss: "Why? I heard that the King of Chu moved the capital to Yuan, but he called the new capital 'Zaiying' to show that he did not forget his old shame. He reformed politics, very popular among the people, and quite revitalized. shape……"

Zhao Wuxi interrupted his words: "The government of the Chu State has accumulated a lot and it is difficult to return~www.readwn.com~ The newly defeated country will not be able to recover after ten years. Besides, now in the northern border of the State of Chu, there is the State of Wu fighting against it. There is also the vassal Dun State who refused to obey the King of Chu, and the vassal Hu State who took advantage of the weakening of the State of Chu, took refuge in the State of Wu, and annexed the neighboring Chu towns. Neither the State nor the State of Hu could send troops to suppress it, let alone Song Hu?”

Le Mixed opened his mouth and felt that what Zhao Wuxi said was reasonable, but he asked again, "What about Qi and Wu?"

Zhao Wuxi has his own self-confidence: "As long as I still control Jishui, Pushui, and Wudao for one day, the people of Qi will never be able to send one soldier and one soldier to Song!"

"As for the state of Wu... King Wu has quite the ambition to go north, and the prince of the state of Wu, Fuchai, is also the son-in-law of Duke Song. There is absolutely no reason for the chaos in the state of Song. I just don't know if they are enemies? Are they friends?"
