After conquering "Yi", Lü Wu cleared the resistance in the city and met with the young man of the Yi clan.

Nothing to say.

It is nothing more than the invasion of the side and the defense of the territory, a set of jade delivery and jade collection links.

The words of the young man are quite interesting: If you don't want to, how can you inflict it on others, and you should have such retribution.

It is about the Qin State using the means of not paying attention to "etiquette" to deal with the Jin State, and one day it will no longer be protected by "etiquette".

This is a man who understands!

The young man of the Yi family asked Lu Wu a word, after the Jin army captured "Yong", would it ensure that the sacrifice of the surname Ying would continue to be extinct?

Lu Wu just smiled and said nothing.

This boy is not only smart, but also a little gloomy.

Does that mean that I wish the Jin army would even attack "Yong", or warn the Jin army not to touch "Yong", the capital of Qin?

Whatever it means, it's not a good intention.

Lü Wu left one-third of his troops outside the city and chose to camp on the edge of Weishui, and the remaining troops were sent out to sweep the surrounding area, and the last third was stationed in the city of "Yi".

After "Yi" is the hinterland of Qin, many cities are less than 30 miles apart, and the villages in the wild are very dense.

And "Yi" needs to go about seventy or eighty miles to the west, there is a large city called "Pingyang", which is the gateway to the hinterland of Qin.

"Pingyang is the old capital of the Qin people." Wei Xiang was very knowledgeable and said: "It is the fifth capital of the Qin State." ”

They captured "Yi".

This time, Lü Wu did not order the burning of the city, and did not even wreak havoc.

Actually, it doesn't break anything.

There are no grand buildings in the city, only thatched houses.

Even the Yi family, who is the owner, lives in a place that is only larger than ordinary people, and there is nothing special about it.

When Lu Wu inspected the city, he found that looking at the characteristics of the houses and some tools that he would usually use, the living standards of the Qin people were far inferior to those of the Jin people, and they might not even be as good as the medium-sized countries in the Central Plains.

There's nothing wrong with that.

The center of Chinese civilization has always been in the Central Plains, and the other four sides and eight towns have been following in the footsteps of the Central Plains.

The Qin State was regarded as a border country in the Chinese cultural circle, and for a long time it also severed its ties with the Central Plains vassal states, and the people who got along with it the most were all kinds of Rong people.

This led to a phenomenon that the culture of the Qin people gradually differed from that of the princes of the Central Plains, and their living habits and the design of some creations were inclined towards Huhua.

Among them, the Qin people merged with a large number of Rong people, making the Qin state a semi-agrarian and semi-nomadic country for a time.

Lü Wu was unfamiliar with history that was too long.

In fact, there are not many historical fragments that he is familiar with, except for those familiar histories, many of the histories he knows are still seen from them, which may not be reliable.

It seems that the Qin State was gradually in frequent contact with the vassal states of the Central Plains after the Shang Dynasty changed the law?

From that time on, the culture of the Qin State was corrected?

As for the repeated relocation of the capital, Lü Wu would have felt very strange before, and he no longer felt surprised to learn that all the vassal states, including the Jin State, had moved their capitals more than once.

They drank wine and chatted.

It is the history of the Qin State.

The discussion is about how far Zhao Zhan and Hao Zhi will fight before they come back.

It is conceivable that the "new army" of the Jin State will bring what kind of shock it will bring to the Qin court when it enters the hinterland of the Qin State, and what kind of panic the Qin people should fall into.

In the past history, the Qin State did not go to war with the Central Plains countries, or was killed in the hinterland for the first time.

Now Qin Jun has taken away the army that can be fought in the country, except for "Yong", which has a assembled formed army, the rest of the places can only be guarded by the private armed forces of the nobles.

And on the front line, Qin Jun should already know the news that the "new army" of the Jin State had entered the hinterland of the Qin State?

Want to hide? That's something you can't hide!

The Qin army of "Ma Tunnel" and "Jingyang" definitely fell into a panic, thinking about what happened in their hometown.

What did they do when they entered the Jin Kingdom, and when they thought of the Jin army treating their hometown elders in the same way, and maybe even using more cruel methods, they couldn't help but turn pale with shock, and tremble in a cold sweat.

There are ties in their hearts, or it is about their hometown, how can they have the heart to continue to fight with the Jin army, the appearance of deserters is inevitable, and some deserters will make the morale of most Qin soldiers even more depressed.

If nothing else, the news that the "new army" has entered the hinterland of Qin has spread, regardless of whether Marshal Luan Shu understands it or not, seize the opportunity, the morale of the Qin army is low, and it is destined that the "Battle of Ma Tunnel" should also have a result.

Victory inevitably belonged to the coalition led by the Jin state.

The difference is how heavy the losses of the Qin army will be.

Things that are too far away, there is no means of instant communication, and it is difficult for Lu Wu and the others who have penetrated into the hinterland of the Qin State to get accurate news.

Having received an order to garrison the city of "Yi", they did not encounter a counterattack from the Qin people for half a month, and they seemed to be very idle.

Half a month later, some friendly troops began to escort prisoners and booty over.

What Zhao Zhan, Hao Zhi and other friendly troops did and what kind of results they achieved also reached Lu Wu's ears.

"This time the Qin State is really injured." When Lu Wu heard that the Jin army, which had broken through the farthest way, had killed a place called 'Xishan', he asked for a while and learned that it was more than two hundred miles away from the city of 'Yi', and said: "Only 'Yong' has not fallen in the hinterland of Qin, and the rest of the cities have been broken. ”

Half a month ago, Han Qi led his troops to constantly raid the villages around "Yi", and he played the assault master several times.

There were no targets to attack in the surrounding area, so Han Qi naturally returned to "Yi" City.

Hearing Lu Wu's feelings, Han Qi pursed his lips and said, "The Qin people are to blame. ”

That is, most of the nobles of the Qin State left with Qin Jun, and they also took away the main force of the family, or if they didn't guard the city with enough troops, how could it be so easy to attack.

Lü Wu successively received a notice from Zhao Zhan and Hao Zhi that they would return to the city of "Yi" within half a month at the latest, asking Lü Wu to take care of the prisoners and the spoils of war.

The Jin army, who escorted the prisoners and booty to the city of "Yi", were temporarily relegated to Lü Wu's command sequence.

Lü Wu's soldiers on hand increased from about 7,000 to tens of thousands.

The number of auxiliaries was even higher, amounting to more than 17,000.

The number of prisoners who were escorted over was as high as 60,000 or 70,000, and the miscellaneous booty was innumerable.

How many people inhabit the hinterland of this Qin State, as the nobles of the Jin State, there is definitely no exact data.

Not counting the killings in the course of the conquest, there were 60,000 or 70,000 prisoners alone, which is not much less than that.

Lü Wu asked Wei Xiang and said, "What is the total population of the Jin Kingdom?" ”

Wei Xiang was stunned by the question.

At present, no country will properly count the number of people in the country, but the nobles will roughly count the number of young people who can participate in the war.

Han Qi said irresponsibly: "Not less than seven million? ”

Are there so many?

Lu Wu vaguely remembered that there was a literature mentioning it, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

In the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, the first most populous country was the Jin Kingdom, with a registered population of more than 5 million; The second most populous country is Qi with three million; In third place is the state of Chu, with a registered population of 2.5 million.

The Qin State has never been a first-class country in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, and after integrating a large number of Rong people, the population at its peak was about 1.8 million.

Lu Wu calculated the population of the old Lu family, they all had a population of more than 70,000 in a middle-class aristocratic family, and the big nobles were often more than a dozen or hundreds of thousands.

Because he didn't know the real data, he believed the amount Han Qi said a little.

There was just one thing he forgot.

In the Spring and Autumn period, slaves and savages were not counted.

Therefore, the so-called 70,000 population of the old Lu family, excluding 10,000 or 20,000 slaves, is 30,000 or 40,000.

The "Qing" of the Jin State, the larger the fief, the more people under his rule.

At present, the largest fief is the Hao family, if there is really a population data, including slaves, the population of the Xu family will not be less than 400,000.

Even the Han clan, which seemed to be the weakest, had a population of more than 200,000.

And this is still the data of a large number of small and medium-sized nobles before they went bankrupt.

History runs according to the original trajectory, and there is a "bankruptcy tide" in the Jin Kingdom, a large number of small and medium-sized nobles disappear, and the strength of the major nobles will become more and more terrifying.

They drank wine and chatted every day, and waited until Zhao Zhan and Hao Zhi arrived one after another.

Lü Wu needs to report.

The Qin people did not come to counterattack, and the Qin army was not found within a hundred miles of the back road, which means that there is nothing to report.

"After this battle, the Qin State will not dare to look east for a hundred years!" Hao Zhi looked high-spirited, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, drink to win!" ”

That's right, they felt that they had won a great victory, called the nobles who could come, and set up a feast.

It's just that Zhao Zhan, the new army, was supposed to be presided over in the future, but he was robbed by Yin Zhi.

Zhao Zhan didn't look unpleasant, and raised his lamp frequently with a smile on his face.

"Wu, is the Handan clan ......" Wei Xiang sat behind Lu Wu's seat, leaned forward and asked, "Remove the Qing position?" ”

Wei still doesn't know the exact news?

It shouldn't be!

The Wei family is qualified enough to attack the position of secretary, and has made friends with a lot of "secretaries", and the news should not be so closed.

Lu Wu said in a low voice: "Da Da returned to the division this time, and he will return to Handan to operate the fief. ”

Wei Xiang coughed violently, looking very uncomfortable, but his eyes were a little shiny.

Lu Wu, who happened to turn around, saw Wei Xiang's excitement, and thought silently in his heart: "Is it that only Wei Xiang doesn't know, or did the entire Wei clan not know in advance that Zhao Zhan would be removed from the throne?" If the entire Wei clan didn't know, they would definitely be out of action this time. ”

Over there, Hao Zhi's voice was loud and conveying the news.

They had been deep into the hinterland of the Qin State for a month and a half, and it was time to turn back with the harvest.

The nobles shouted in unison: "Cai! ”

Go back!

Everyone wants to go back.

They have been out of the house for almost half a year and have made so many gains, who doesn't want to put the harvest in their pockets?

Lu Wu thought of his children, and his heart was a little crispy and soft.

I don't know if the construction of the "yin" land is going well?

How much new arable land has been cleared.

How many workshops have risen in the mountains.

The family members are not healthy.

He Zhi asked everyone, "Is my 'army' going to 'Yong' and showing off its might?" ”
