Spring and Autumn I Am King

The second

"We should send troops to the north as soon as possible. According to reports from the scouts, the north is very empty. The Zhongxing clan only controls the north of the Huanshui, and the Zhongmu and Xiyang to the south go their own way, while Yongyu is the only county town left by the Fan clan. There are only more than 2,000 guards in each, and these three places can be captured only by the large army!"

The speaker was very loud, and it was You Wuzheng, who liked to go on military adventures. Soon after conquering Chaoge, he clamored for the handsome division to go north.

On the contrary, Yang Yin expressed his objection.

"No, in the process of attacking the Chaoge, the trebuchets were thrown continuously, and nearly one third of the equipment was broken. The equipment is still like this. The soldiers are living flesh and blood. Not only will they be tired, they will also hate the war, and they will After the slaughter, there is fear in my heart. Proper rest can maintain the strength of the army, rather than blindly marching north. This minister believes that it is more important to consolidate the Song of Songs than to rashly advance without considering the consequences, and it is more important to spend the autumn harvest smoothly!"

As an arbiter and decision-maker, Zhao Wuxi is also weighing the pros and cons: after several months of fierce fighting, the Zhao and Han armies also suffered casualties, the temporary conscripts were immediately dismissed and returned to their hometown for the autumn harvest, and Han Hu also brought thousands of Han soldiers back to Hanoi to rest. , As a result, Zhao Wuxi has only 15,000 people left.

After calculating the number of mobile troops that could be deployed, Zhao Wuxi made a decision: "During the autumn harvest, temporarily suspend troops."

The generals were a little disappointed, while the civil servants were relieved. They were afraid that Zhao Wuxi would strengthen the exhausted teacher. If he wins, it will be fine, but if he is frustrated, the situation for the Zhao family will become difficult.

But Zhao Wuxi's voice changed: "But the Lu people in the army don't think about returning home. Tell them that the recruitment date is extended, and the Tiandi County at home will naturally send people to assist. In these wars, everyone has made great contributions. The money, silk and grain in the treasury of Chaoge House can be distributed to everyone, and the fields and houses awarded by the military merits are recorded on the record, and awards will be given after the war. ."

July will end. Everything, in order to be able to spend the autumn harvest smoothly. Of course, while stabilizing the rear, Zhao Wuxi also made You Wuzheng to fight horses. Preparing for Beitu Handan.

As early as a few days after Chaoge City was broken, he let Dao Zhi and Yu Xi take two flexible troops to cross Qishui, while fighting grass valleys, while going deep into Handan's territory to spread the news of Zhongxing's defeat. news, and at the same time let the Handan people who were captured in the Muye World War I go back. Contact the cities for Zhao Wuxi.

The Handan clan had lost two generations of their patriarchs in a row, and lost half of their soldiers. Their vitality was severely damaged. In addition, the two backers were defeated, and it was time for the surrender faction to raise its head.

"After the autumn harvest, the battle line will be advanced to Huanshui, and the first to be among them are the three counties of Zhongmu, Xiyang, and Yongyu!"

After stabilizing the situation around Chaoge, Zhao Wuxi handed Chaoge over to You Wuzheng and Yang Yin, and he took time to go back to Wenxian County. Because he learned the news, Zhao Yang's injury is not very optimistic...

……

It was mid-autumn in August and the sky was getting colder. Because of something in his heart, Zhao Wuxie had no time to watch the beautiful scenery along the way. He only occasionally stopped at the county pavilion and asked about the people around him.

Although there was no public order, after the war, the Zhao family and the Han family still privately divided Hanoi.

There are six counties and thirteen cities in Hanoi, with nearly 70,000 households and more than 400,000 people. All, the South belongs to the Han clan to occupy. Fan, Gong, Baiquan, Mengmen, Muye, Chaoge and other counties belong to the Zhao clan. Generally speaking, the Zhao clan is divided into three-quarters, and the Han clan has a quarter. Those who work more get more, and Han Hu has no complaints, and is busy accepting the site.

So Zhao Wuxi first passed through the area occupied by the Zhao clan, and then passed through the area occupied by the Han clan. From what he saw along the way, the situation in Hanoi was not optimistic.

The old man has something to say. Where the teacher is, thorns grow. After the army, there must be a fierce year.

Because of the war between Zhao's family and Fan and Bank of China for several months, farmers were rarely seen in the fields where "the state is thousands of miles away, and the people are stopped." The people fled north to Chaoge before the arrival of the Zhao army, and were then evacuated to the north of Qishui by Zhang Liushuo, so they walked on the Tu Road and did not see anyone for a long time.

The once prosperous land was so desolate after the war. Zhao Wuxi was able to restrain the military discipline of the military soldiers, but Han soldiers and Lu Guo soldiers inevitably looted, which caused great damage to the people's livelihood in Hanoi.

During the war, it can also be said that "the enemy is due to food", but in the case of the destruction of the Fan family and the incompleteness of the Bank of China, there is no suspense in the war east of Taihang. Hanoi has changed from the enemy's territory to the frontier base for the Zhao family to maintain the war, so Some policies also need to be adjusted.

Zhao Wuxi had already taken certain measures: Bo Sui and other surrendered Fan clan officials were reinstated, and the "Three Chapters of the Law" were extended to the entire occupied area. Erqing's deserters were deserters, and at the same time sent people to follow the forward who crossed Qishui to the north to recruit refugees to return home.

Under these measures, the difference between the area occupied by the Zhao clan and the area occupied by the Han clan became apparent.

The situation in Chaoge, Fan, Gong and other places has been stabilized, and a large number of the surrendered Fan clan officials have become the cornerstone of the rule. Zhao Wuxi opened a warehouse and put out 200,000 to 300,000 shi of grain, and distributed it to each city. When there is a famine, the people spontaneously organize the autumn harvest.

And Hanoi's Hanoi, after the chaos, the population decreased, the people lacked food and clothing, many passers-by on the road were tattered, weak, hungry and thin, and few people were still running to the Zhao's control area.

Zhao Wuxi couldn't help but think of King Hui of Wei in later generations, "The people of neighboring countries will not increase, and the people of few people will not increase, why?" Presumably now Han Hu is also worried about this, but the people in his territory can't stay. Stay, this is no wonder the Zhao family.

After a short stop along the way, the group rushed back to Wen County after only a few days.

……

Waiting for Zhao Wuxi outside the palace was his elder sister Ji Ying, her beautiful face had a hint of worry, and she didn't say a word when she led him inside.

It was Zhao Wuxi who took the initiative to grab her hand and asked softly, "What's wrong with father?"

There was a standing person passing by, Ji Ying gently pulled out his hand, approached Wu Xie and said, "I just fell into a coma yesterday, and I recovered thanks to Lingzi's diagnosis and treatment..." She said with tears in her eyes, Wu Xie hurriedly Comforting her, the two entered together.

Jin Zhongjun sits behind a low table, his gouty leg rests on a padded footrest. He played with the horse carved from lacquered wood on the chessboard with his left hand and turned it over and over in his red and swollen hand, while his right hand let Le Lingzi feel the pulse.

Zhao Yang's condition was worse than Zhao Wuxi had expected. His cheeks were thin and his joints were inflamed and swollen. Just looking at him was heartbreaking. Seeing him so tired, so weak, both Wu Xie and Ji Ying are sad...

"It was just an arrow, and it wasn't a fatal injury. Why is it so serious?" During the interval between the diagnosis and treatment, Zhao Wuqi asked his wife, who is proficient in medicine, in a low voice.

After the newlywed Yan, Zhao Wuxi left in a hurry, but Le Lingzi didn't have any resentment, instead he tried his best to help Ji Ying manage his internal affairs. In the world of Spring and Autumn, there is no age without war. Regardless of status, one-third of a man's life is on the journey. Women in this era must get used to it.

She sighed: "Uncle's arrow wound has healed, and the symptoms of the aftermath are also improving. Who would have thought that the wind disease a few years ago has recurred. Although there is no life worry now, I am afraid that I will not be able to walk down or walk. Managing politics for a long time, not to mention leading troops on expeditions..."

"It's really jealous of Yingjie..." Zhao Wuxi was speechless, something choked in his throat and couldn't get out. In the end, he could only say such a sentence, but then he greeted him with a smile and informed Chaoge of the current situation. Zhao Yang.

"I didn't expect that Chaoge was beaten by you before the injury was completely healed. Chaoge was the old capital of Yin and Shang, and the ancestors of Qin Zhaoying's surname Feilian, Eilai and Ji Sheng have served as ministers there for generations. Now it can be considered to have regained his hometown." Zhao Yang murmured as he put down the horse, and he may not be able to ride a horse again in his life.

"When I had a good relationship with the Fan family, I had passed by Chaoge many times, paid tribute to the ancients on the ruins of Lutai, and offered sacrifices to prisons around the tombs of Yin and Shang kings. Now Zhao's capture of Chaoge is the same as when the Zhou people perished in Dayi Shang. It’s very similar. It’s easy to lose things that you get suddenly. Chaoge is prosperous. Be careful that your soldiers are addicted to it. You should also pay attention to recovering Fan’s officials. Read the "Toasts" and learn how Zhou Gongdan prevented the Zhou people from corrupting and how to govern the stubborn people."

Wu Xie agreed, Zhao Yang then began to teach Zhao Wu Xie some experience in governing the people, and after a while, he patted his forehead and said, "I was confused, it's not the first time you were banned, now The state of Lu is already in power, ruling the country of a thousand vehicles, so I don’t need to teach these things.”

The aging and injured Hu Shi is closer to the image of "father" than before, Zhao Wuxi has a long-lost warmth in his heart~www.readwn.com~ hurriedly said: "How can it be, the boy is deeply regretting that he left Jin too early, and he failed to He was taught a lot by his father, and it was only when he really managed a country that he suffered a lot."

After talking for a while, Zhao Yang was a little tired. He spends most of his time resting every day, so he smiled weakly and said, "You wait for a while and leave me alone with Wu Xie."

The two women raised their robes and saluted, then slowly stepped back.

It was only then that Zhao Yang pulled out the silk book that had been pressed under the chessboard.

"You broke the Chaoge in ten months, and Zhibo's calculation failed. I think he was out of skill. He asked his own people to play a trick of Zhao's attack on the office in Xintian. . This is the letter sent by the monarch and Zhibo the day before yesterday, take a look."

Zhao Wuxi swept the contents above and sneered.

"They asked the Zhao family to hand over Chaoge and Hanoi to the office, and then ordered me to take my soldiers back to the state of Lu. In this life, I would not be allowed to step into the state of Jin again, let alone inherit the family business! Moreover, they also asked my father to retire to serve as an official. The Zhao family is divided into three..."

Zhao Yang stared at Zhao Wuxi and asked, "What do you think?"

Zhao Wuxie was too long and he said sadly: "It seems that there is a traitorous villain on the side of the monarch who framed Zhongliang!"
