After completing the deployment of the Eastern Front Lu State, Zhao Wuxian's gaze moved to the south of the map.
He said: "The Zhao clan is under siege, and now there are not only three fronts in the east, west, and middle, but even one more southern front. After the Marquis of Jin and Zhibo declared us the first culprits of treason, almost everyone shouted and beat us for a while, and even Cheng Zhou was involved......"
It turned out that the two emperors who now control the Zhou royal family are Liu and Shan. They were the victors of the rebellion of the prince's dynasty more than ten years ago, the son of heaven and the prince of heaven, among which the Duke of Liu and the Fan family were in-laws of successive dynasties, and the Duke of Shan was friendly with the intellectuals who had been in charge of royal affairs for a long time.
In addition, the Zhou royal family has always relied on the support of the Jin State to maintain it so far, either forced or out of inertia, so it is natural to stand on the same front with the Jin State official. Therefore, in August and September, Zhou Tianzi brazenly announced that the following Zhao clan had committed crimes, disrespected the monarch, ruled the country, rebelled against the Jin State, and was also the enemy of the Son of Heaven, and called on the princes of the world to fight against him!
Of course, Zhao Wuxian knew that behind this righteousness, there was also the factor that the Shan and Liu families coveted the Zhao family's Nanyang land, which had belonged to the Zhou royal family for a long time in the past, and was only slowly invaded by the Jin State later.
EVERYONE WAS A LITTLE DISTRESSED BY THE DEBUFF CONQUERED BY THE SON OF HEAVEN, BUT YANG HU, WHO WAS THE MOST DISMISSIVE OF THE TRADITIONAL RESPECTFUL AND INFERIOR ETIQUETTE SYSTEM, PURSED HIS LIPS CONTEMPTUOUSLY.
He said coldly: "The Zhou room has declined, King Huan's arrow is on his shoulder, and King Xiang is invaded by Rong Di. Hunting in Heyang, during the rebellion of the Prince Dynasty, there was even a joke that the two sons of heaven attacked each other, the classics were lost, and Jiuding was damaged. Now the Zhou family is not even as good as a prince, only equivalent to the earlier Handan clan, with a population of two or three hundred thousand. There are nearly 10,000 soldiers, and they can't even get together an army, let alone pose a threat to the Zhao clan. ”
Xiang Lu proposed with some concern: "Having said that, after all, the Son of Heaven occupies the great righteousness, and now he is standing on the opposite side of us, and in terms of public opinion among the princes, it is very unfavorable to the Zhao family." ”
Yang Hu disagreed: "What's that?" The widow is still too young, and the call of the Zhou Chamber is like an old ritual vessel, which has rusted. But he wants to maintain the original etiquette, and knock on it to make a sound to show his existence. In fact, since the Battle of Xiangge, it has long been impossible to play a role on the battlefield, the world has not listened to the orders of the Son of Heaven for a long time, and the situation created by the military struggle is good or bad, how can he reverse it with a single message! ”
Shirtless nodded, he was right. In the Zhao alliance, the Song State has always been reluctant to obey the orders of the Zhou family. The Lu State was also estranged from the Zhou, and in the past two hundred years, the number of times the Lu Hou Dynasty saw the Son of Heaven was less than a fraction of the time when the Jin Marquis was hired. Therefore, the pressure of public opinion on this kind of conquest by the Son of Heaven is not too great, but it just gives the surrounding countries a good excuse to "respect the royal family and not courtesy".
Yang Hu suddenly got up and asked, "There is only one big river between Chengzhou Wangcheng and Wen County, and the Mengjin North Ferry is also under the control of the Zhao family. It is better to let the subordinates cross the river and sneak attack the people of a division to rob the Son of Heaven, and at that time, the general will coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the so-called righteous name of Zhibo will completely become a dead letter! ”
As soon as this statement came out. Everyone in the hall was shocked, especially those Lu people who subconsciously regarded King Zhou as supreme although they had not seen each other for a long time, and some people even blurted out: "How can you be so disrespectful to the Son of Heaven!?" ”
Zhao Wuxian also shook his head, but the reason for denying this plan was not because he was afraid of the majesty and dignity of the Son of Heaven, but simply because he ......
"Don't hurry, the time has not yet come."
He continued: "Your plan is too small, there are few people in Chengzhou, and the walls of the royal city are deep and thick, so it is not easy to succeed. And in this way, it is easy to provoke the anger of the public, and the Zhao family does not need to risk the world's condemnation. ”
"Before the snowfall, Quang De, you can take people to break through the Shan clan located north of the river, and then confiscate the scattered territories and fields of the royal family in Hanoi and threaten them. The Zhou royal family has always been cowardly, as long as they taste the sore spots, they should be lost, if not, it is not too late to use this strategy. ”
In the interval of everyone's sighing and sighing, Zhao Wuxian's finger pointed to the east of Cheng Zhou: "The real enemy on the southern front is here!" ”
……
"In July and August, when the Zheng people had already taken advantage of the Zhao clan to besiege Chaoge and were determined to march north, they seized the Liyan ferry with the patriots, and the direct connection between the Zhao clan and the Lu State and the Song State was cut off again!"
"They also occupied the gap with the Song State, established six cities to defend, with the Zheng people on the side, the Song people can only barely hold Punan, and at the same time control the situation of the princes of Sishang, but they cannot realize the promise of going north to aid Zhao, at most they can send a division into Lu to assist in the defense ......"
"This is the situation of the general's so-called 'southern front'!"
Wu Jing stayed along the river after crossing the river, and Zhao Wuxian gave him the task of keeping an eye on the situation on the southern front, during which he repelled several attempts by the Zheng people to advance north.
After looking at the four fronts of east, west, north and south, Zhao Guangde couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
"The east and west places of the Zhao family are not thousands of miles, and there are no more than 60,000 deaths. The south and Zheng realm, the west and the Zhijing, the north and the Zhongxing realm, the east and the Qi realm, the soldiers guard the four directions, the city pavilions and barriers are lined up on the road, and the millet grain is transported no less than one million stones. If the Bank of China attacks me in the north, the Zhishi attacks my west, Qi Wei attacks my east, and Zheng Guo attacks my south...... This is truly a situation where enemies are on all sides......"
Wu Xian said: "But the enemy's encirclement network is not strictly secret, since they are unable to attack us in the west and take care of themselves in the north, then we can send troops to open the situation from the east and south and break through this encirclement network!" ”
He cheered for his retainers again: "The reason why I brought the troops back to Chaoge this time is to solve the problem of defending the country, since I attacked Zhenyi five years ago, the defense of the country is an obstacle between the east and the west and Zhao, and it is time to completely remove it!" Isn't Qi going to attack Lu in the spring next year? We also launched an offensive against the country, leaving the flanks of the Qi army completely exposed to the attack, and we could either evacuate or be forced to fight a decisive battle! ”
As soon as he drew his sword, he waved his hand, and nailed the sword fiercely to the location of the Emperor of the Patriotic Emperor on the map, the tip of the sword was cut into the case, and the sword body and hilt were shaking slightly, which was a declaration of his ambition!
"The ministers are the sword of the sovereign, and the cadres are indestructible!"
After the glorious victory of the past six months, the retainers were still full of confidence in the future of the Zhao family, and they all knelt down on one knee and saluted Wuxian.
In several years of combat and study, Wu Jing, who had already comprehended strategy, cautiously reminded: "What about Zheng Guo? The country has been destroyed, half of the country and a third of the population have been lost in the past few years, and there are no more than 10,000 soldiers left, and with the prince of the country on our side, it will not be difficult to defeat the country. ”
"The trouble is Zheng Guo, Zheng Jun is brave, although it is not as good as the Zhao army, but it can deal with the Song people and Cao people in almost ten battles. When attacking the defense of the country, not only must you beware of the Chen clan of the Qi State in the north, but you also have to be careful of the Zheng army......"
Zhao Wuxian had already planned, he let everyone get up, and then said to Wu Jing: "Most businessmen only focus on immediate interests, and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Zheng Guo values business, Zheng people are also a businessman, and the most suitable person to deal with them is, of course, the giant Zigong who can make a fortune! He is known for his diplomatic rhetoric, his words can bring the dead to life, the past few envoys have been invincible, if there is no accident, he is now in Xinzheng! ”
……
At the same time, outside the east gate of Xinzheng, the capital of Zheng Guo, Zheng Guo's doctor and merchant Xian Bofu stood on the bank of the river with wide sleeves hanging down, touching the jade pendant on his waist, and watching with a smile and a smile as the handsome, richly dressed but elegant scholar stepped on the wooden boat and crossed this way.
As soon as the scholar stepped onto the hard shore, Xian Bofu walked over quickly with the guards and said loudly, "Isn't this Zigong? What is the wind that blows you here, is it the salty east wind on the Langya seashore? Or is it the north wind with the smell of beast leather in the mountains and forests of Taiyuan? Could it be that it is the furnace wind with a heat wave in Zhendi? ”
Duanmu Ci also recognized the comer, his former partner and competitor in the goods colony, the Xian Bofu who played with him in the extravagant place of Taoqiu, he is now an official businessman, and he is also the master of Xinzheng Chu.
He smiled and said: "Doctor Xian is wrong, although I came to Xinzheng this time to do business, I am not here to sell sea salt, nor to sell leather and porcelain. ”
"What is that here to buy, and what is it to sell?"
Zigong didn't answer first, but looked back at the Weishui style with unfinished eyes, and said in his mouth: "Outside of Wei, Xun is happy and happy." Weishi and the woman, Yiqi scorned each other, and gave them a spoonful of medicine......"
Then he turned around and said: "I came this time to bring a spoonful of medicine with kindness, and I gave it to a beautiful woman for the lord of my family!" ”
