As an old diplomat, Yin Li knew that Yuan Hua should be stabilized first, and said: "Right Division, the widow has already led the Chinese army and the lower army on the way south, how can he sit back and ignore the crisis of the Song Kingdom?" ”

As soon as Yuan Hua heard it, the middle army and the lower army of the Jin State were heading south?

He was somewhat stable in his heart, but he felt that Yuanshui couldn't save the near fire, and said: "Chu, Zheng, Chen, and Cai Dabing have arrived at 'Shang Cai'. This ......"

This "Shang Cai" is the capital of Cai State.

Cai is a small country, and it is a fourth-rate country in terms of scale.

Like Xu Guo, it is not in the stream.

Chen Guo is a little stronger than Cai Guo, and he is a third-rate country.

When the Jin State was allied with the Wu Kingdom, there was a Xu State on the side.

This Xu State can be regarded as a second-rate country with the current division of strength, that is, a country with similar strength as Zheng State and Song State.

Since it was on the side, why didn't Xu Guo get involved in the Jin-Wu Alliance?

They are now pursuing the national policy of closing themselves off from the country, and whoever likes to go with whomever they like, anyway, I don't see it, I don't listen.

If you study history, you will find that this Xu country has a longer history than anyone else.

According to legend, the State of Xu was a feudal state of the Xia Dynasty, and the Shang Dynasty played its own during the period, and it was not until the time of King Mu of Zhou that he was willing to submit to the Zhou royal family.

Xu Guo, who became a member of Zhuxia, has never been able to play with anyone, so that the countries of the Central Plains almost forget that there is such a country; The southern countries considered that Xu Guo was not weak and did not provoke themselves, so they should not provoke.

This time, Song Guo was sick and went to the doctor and sent an envoy to Xu.

The old Xu family didn't have any connection, and directly asked the envoy of the Song State to get out.

Yuan Hua came to "Yongqiu" with 100,000 hopes, and counted on the Shang army and the new army of the Jin State to save his life.

Outcome?

He sent Yuan Hua away, returned to the tent, sneered on his face, and said, "The Song people are timid. ”

If we don't give benefits, we have to work hard?

Thinking too much!

This idea is extremely reliable!

It is now the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the etiquette between countries is emphasized and practicality is also pursued.

Sending troops will definitely go for profit.

It can be to get loot during the battle, or it can be to gain righteous influence.

Yuanhua just found the wrong person at all.

It was the Fan clan who was in charge of the Jin State's diplomacy with the Song State, not the Xun clan.

Let the Fan family take all the benefits, but when it was about to bleed, it was the Yin family who went to bleed, there is no such reason!

If you really want to rescue Song Guo, there are many things that need to be said and calculated about how to save it.

First of all, how much benefit does the Lao Fan family need to give up in China?

If you don't let the interests of the country go, don't hope that everyone can put up much effort to fight.

If you don't want to give up your domestic interests, you should always come up with some external revenue channels.

Otherwise, although it is said to be a matter of the country, it is also a matter of the old Fan family, why should each family pay for the benefits of the old Fan family!

If you really want to do this, don't blame everyone for tossing around, and then let everyone run around for their own interests.

Why is the reputation of the Hao family so bad?

And why do they have almost no friends in the country?

It's not that the Xun family is usually really arrogant.

However, there are many arrogant and domineering people in the Jin Kingdom for several generations of "Qing", and none of them can have no friends like the Hao family.

The reason why the Hao clan really can't make friends is very simple, they use the power of the state to vent their anger!

But after venting his anger, the Yin family did not express it to the families.

What's going on now?

It's nothing more than the double standard of the He's family.

"More than 300,000 troops of the Chu State?" Yin Li frowned deeply, and said: "The three 'armies' are all out, and the important ministers of the country are all here. ”

How many people are in an "army" in Chu State, and what is the structure, it is not the same as the vassal states of the Zhou royal family.

It's just that one "army" of Chu State can never reach 100,000.

Their "army" is considered a serious organization, and there are as many soldiers as there should be.

The rest of the extra personnel are self-formed by various nobles, and there is no fixed number of people.

For example, a nobleman of Chu named A brought 500 people, and his 500 people were not counted in the sequence of "army", so he took these 500 people to play; Another Chu nobleman named B brought thousands of people, and he also brought his own people to play.

Because of this, it always led to the inability of the Chu State to enforce the order, and many times the bad thing was bad in the hands of the aristocratic private army that was not in the establishment.

They call this phenomenon "leading their troops to fight", that is, bringing their own dry food and leading their troops to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions.

In the next few hundred years, the old Liu family, who was born in Chu and established the Han Dynasty, has always preserved the customs of Chu in the ancient pre-Qin period.

Lu Wuzhen was unwilling to be present to listen to the discussion of the first uncle and two nephews of the Hao family, so he found an opportunity to say goodbye and leave.

According to the meaning of the first uncle and two nephews of the Hao family, it is impossible for them to rescue Song Guo now.

It's not just the relationship between the Song Kingdom and the Song Kingdom.

The upper army and the new army that remained in the south were only four and a half "divisions" combined, and the morale of the army was not high, and the fatigue was really very exhausting.

Take more than 30,000 soldiers, and in such a state, to fight with the 300,000 troops of Chu State?

Brain wat it!

The Shang Army and the New Army, which stayed in "Yongqiu", did not move, but were ready to be drawn at any time.

More than a month has passed.

During this period, they must pay attention to the movements of the Chu army.

Gongzi, who has entered the territory of the Song Kingdom, has not changed for a long time.

The king of Chu Gong, who gathered troops in "Shang Cai", stayed and did not move.

One day, Lü Wu received a notice that the army led by the monarch had approached the place of "Yongqiu".

He stepped out of his tent and looked to the northwest, and sure enough, he saw a large army on the horizon.

The soldiers who had been in the south for a long time couldn't help but burst into cheers when they saw the arrival of their own army.

Most of them did not want to stay in the south at all, and waited for new troops to come in so that they could return home.

After cheering, they ran back to their tents, what should be packed, and what are they waiting for?

He summoned officers at all levels of the New Army.

He did not have any other nonsense, and demanded that those who needed to return to their hometowns be assembled in an organized manner, and that they must not cause an impact on the incoming troops.

Everyone understands this.

He Zhi needs to emphasize, but it really took too long in the south to emphasize it once.

Most of the nobles in the new army are from the Hao clan, or they are simply the generals of the Hao clan, and Lu Wu is the only one who is considered an outsider.

Yin Zhi deliberately left Lu Wu behind and asked, "What arrangements did the Yin Clan make this time?" ”

This is a question of whether to remain in the Forces nouvelles, or whether it is a question of how many rotational troops have been transferred.

Lu Wu was no longer the ignorant young man who didn't know anything, and said: "The soldiers who stayed behind will return to most of them." ”

Whether to stay in the New Army or not, if he can choose, he is really not happy to stay.

Hao Zhi asked again: "Can the newcomer have A?" ”

Of course, not everyone in the old Lu family wears iron armor, and some don't even have leather armor, rattan armor and wooden armor.

Yin Zhi said: "This time the Chu army is menacing, and someone must suggest to avoid its edge. I have decided to fight, and if you have any ambitions, be under my command. ”

Lu Wu said very frankly: "Wenzi, Wu is only a 'middle doctor', and it is difficult for him. ”

In fact, Yin Zhi also understands this truth.

He even saw that Lu Wu's service in the new army was a return of favors.

What did Hao Qi do, presumably Lu Wu already knew.

Nine out of ten of the new army are members of the Hao family, and it is normal for Lu Wu to feel out of place, coupled with what Yin Qi did last time, but as long as he is a nobleman with autonomy, who still has no idea in his heart?

"Fan Bo wants you to go to the Chinese army, and Zhibo has said many times that you will return to the lower army." Yin Zhi narrowed his eyes, not knowing if he was warning something, and said, "Where you will go, it is up to you to decide." ”

Lu Wu felt the pressure.

Hao Zhi waved his hand, signaling that Lu Wu could leave.

The new troops are getting closer.

It looks far more like two fully formed legions, more like four fully formed legions.

In fact, Lu Wu's visual inspection was correct.

Not only did the Chinese army and the lower army go south, but the first uncle and two nephews of the Hao family and the Zhongxing Yan in the south also recruited a sufficient number of soldiers from the fiefdom.

It's just that it is not clear whether the Yin clan and the Zhongxing clan wanted to get enough distribution of benefits during the conquest of Zheng State, or whether they had expected the Chu State to move north.

Should it be the former?

"Lord!" Song Bin was very excited to see Lu Wu again after a year, and said after saluting: "Everything is fine at home." ”

More things in the fiefdom need to be reported later.

Song Bin first told how many soldiers he had brought and what the baggage was, what the soldiers were, and how many materials and quantities were in the baggage.

Originally, Lü Wu took 7,500 soldiers and nearly 3,000 auxiliaries to the south.

There were more than 4,000 soldiers who wanted to go back.

The auxiliaries have no autonomy, depending on which samurai's family they come from, the master must follow if he wants to leave.

Lü Wuxin recruited only 1,500 soldiers, plus the auxiliaries accompanying the army, a total of more than 3,000 people.

He is making a settlement on his side, including letting whoever go back with the troops who want to go back.

Song Bin asked to stay and participate in this battle, but did not get Lü Wu's consent.

The nest can't go unattended.

Lu Wu went out on his own expedition, and the old Lu family was only a retainer Song Bin who was trustworthy in military affairs, so he had no choice at all.

As soon as the king had settled down, he gathered all the nobles in the army.

Lu Wu was one of the people who came relatively early, and he was called aside by Cheng Hua as soon as he arrived.

Waiting for the nobles to gather, the monarch asked what was going on in the south.

Yin Qi told with a calm face, mainly talking about the actions of the Chu State, and then slightly mentioning the dangerous situation of the Song State.

They originally wanted to go south to fight Zheng Guo, but they didn't expect the Chu State to go north in a big way.

Shi Xie, Zhi Gang, and Han Ju in several "Qing" immediately frowned.

He continued to report, but someone outside suddenly asked to see him loudly, which really annoyed him.

"Report !!" The person who came entered the big tent and shouted loudly: "Zheng Guozihan led his troops to attack the Song State, and the Song generals were afraid of the defeat of 'Bianpi' and retreated to 'Bianling'." ”

Everyone was a little stunned when they heard this.

Zihan is the ruler of Zheng Guo, and everyone knows this.

It's just that when did Zheng Guo be so fierce and win a battle against the Song army?

The most important thing is that the place called "Fenling" is only a hundred or dozens of miles away from "Yongqiu".

I have to make a kind of high-level of the Jin Kingdom think about it!

What does this little brother Song Guo want to do???
