Chapter 793: Four Gentlemen
PS: Something, that's it for today
Zhi Yao especially remembered the day he was crowned: the young man who had not yet grown up was as slender as a long sword, wearing a snow-white deep coat, although his body was weak, but his muscles were strong and heroic, and he fascinated every girl who saw him in Xinjiang. He didn't even look at them, his eyes shining with pride only staring at his elders, hoping to get affirmation from them.
Father Zhishen favored him, but grandfather Zhibozheng and uncle Zhiguo were not very optimistic about him.
He also remembered what his uncle said to his grandfather: "Yao has five outstanding strengths, a beautiful beard under the chin, a tall figure, a leader in archery, and many skills such as fencing and chess, and is strong and intelligent." There is only one shortcoming, he is greedy and unkind, if he relies on his own strengths to bully others, I am afraid that the younger generation of the Jin Kingdom will be his enemy......"
People often say that Zhi Bosong believes in the way of goodness like water, and his actions and words are always incomprehensible, and if he is not careful, he will drown in it. At that time, his grandfather's face was indeed as heavy as water, and he couldn't see what he was thinking, he nodded, shook his head again, and then smiled at Zhiyao......
If Zhiyao continues to grow up smoothly under the protection of her parents, enjoying a carefree life, and never seeing the bloody battlefield, I am afraid that she will indeed become a conceited and proud person as Zhiguo predicted, relying on self-righteous courage and unrealistic confidence to act recklessly.
Even if he were a secretary of state, he would regard politics as a child's game, and war as an intensified version of hunting, in which he would hunt for glory, honor, and favor, like a child who indulges in songs and stories, and who always thinks that he is invincible in the world, and does not watch out for the cold schemes around him. The destruction of the Zhi clan in history began here.
However, I don't know if it's fortunate or unlucky, he just met an opponent, he has been pressing him since he was a child, no matter how many achievements he makes, Zhao Wuxian will bring everyone greater surprise, and at the same time set off Zhiyao as useless......
How does the moon compete with the sun?
Confucius has a saying, climb the East Mountain and Xiaolu, climb Mount Tai and the world, Zhiyao has never climbed a peak again, he can only stand halfway up the mountain and look at the opponent enviously. is no longer standing at the peak and despising sentient beings as in history, but like Wei Ju, Han Hu and other peers, with Zhao Wuxian as the goal, he keeps climbing and approaching, but unfortunately, he has not caught up until now.
When the war began, he brought more to Zhiyao, and together with his peers, he grew up and matured in the war and became a real man.
He was re-trusted by his grandfather and father and uncle, who gave him the authority to command the army, and the burden on his shoulders was even heavier. He didn't dare to act recklessly, because every decision decided the lives of thousands of people and the survival of the clan.
What's more, he also has his uncle Zhiguo and the strategist Deng and a group of people constantly persuading and correcting the bad habits of the past.
After all, he is young, and he sees more "plans", while his uncle knows that he is old and old, but what he sees is "potential".
This summer, when Zhiguo was ordered to garrison Hexi to leave a way back in case the situation in the Jin Kingdom collapsed, he said something heartfelt to Zhiyao.
"If I were the Wei Clan, I am afraid that it would have been repeated a long time ago, Wei Bo and Wei Ju father and son can coexist with the Zhi Clan until now, they must have their purpose, and they must be prevented!"
So now, Wei Ju's eagerness has made Zhiyao have a trace of suspicion.
However, Wei Ju is not the only one who makes such a suggestion.
Watching the Shi Kun Department and the Zhao army fighting, Yu Rang's heart was difficult to press, he had not had much chance to go to the battlefield in the past two years, and stayed by Zhiyao's side most of the time, today's war is imminent, he has long been full of fighting spirit and high morale, his fingers are constantly rubbing on the hilt of the sword, and he wants to participate in it.
Finally, Yu Rang couldn't help it, and also came over to ask for battle: "Lord, it has been less than a quarter of an hour since Shi Sima and the Zhao army were engaged, and the military flag has penetrated deep into the middle of the enemy formation, at most in another quarter of an hour, he can defeat it and capture Changping!" This is the time for our army to attack! Lord, give the order, Yu Rang is willing to be the vanguard, kill from the south side, and cover the flank of Nurse Sima. ”
Yu Rang can also see that Shi Kui is profitable, and when the coalition army makes persistent efforts and expands its achievements, how can Zhiyao, as the commander-in-chief, not see it?
But he glanced at the Strategist, who shook his head at him.
"No hurry, wait a little longer."
Zhi Yao stabilized his mind, suppressed everyone to ask for battle, and stared at the battlefield with his sword, wanting to find clues of Zhao Jun's defeat, but how could he see it in the smoke and dust? I can only see the banner of Shi Kun descending the mountain like a tiger, tearing the Zhao army's front and attacking Changping Village, while the Zhao army hastily withdrew.
Wei Ju was very anxious, and came over again to ask Zhandao: "Ziyu, don't miss the opportunity, you won't come again!" See! The Zhao army camp of the Hyun clan has been lit with beacon smoke, which is a sign of gathering Zhao troops everywhere and preparing for a decisive battle, if you don't go, I'm afraid that Shi Sima will be besieged by the Zhao army! ”
"What the prince of the Wei family said is reasonable."
"Doctor Liang Ying's father also came to ask for instructions, whether you want to follow Sima across the Danshui."
"It's all up to this, either the whole army will cross the water, or the soldiers will be withdrawn, and all the previous achievements will be wasted......"
The battle situation was already urgent, and as the rest of the doctors who saw the defeat of the Zhao army made suggestions to attack, Zhiyao's suspicion fell silent again.
"Could it be that I'm thinking too much? The Zhao army confronted me for two months, and their morale dropped, coupled with their successive victories, they were proud, and the arrogant soldiers were defeated! ”
No matter how it changes, in his bones, he is still the overconfident Zhiyao......
Finally, he smiled: "It seems that my plan has been completed, second and third sons, go down and prepare!" Doctor Liang and Fan Zi (Fan Gaoyi) will have 10,000 people in the north, I will have 15,000 people in the middle, Ziteng will have 10,000 people in the south, and I will bring 5,000 people and baggage in the rear, and we will advance on three fronts, I will follow the example of the strong man Bian Zhuangzi to stab the three tigers in one fell swoop and break the Zhao army! ”
Wei Ju secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to turn around after receiving the order, but was stopped by Zhiyao again.
"Ziteng!"
His heart tightened, and he turned around after changing his smile, only to see Zhiyao's eyes full of arrogance staring at him.
"Today's Jin State has become a divided Warring States, the Bank of China has died, the Fan family also exists in name only, knowing Wei Zhao Han, the only four remaining families, some people often call the young people of the four families 'four gentlemen', among which he is headed by Zhao Wuxian. But in my opinion, Ziteng and I are also the heroes of the Jin Kingdom, no worse than Zhao Wuxian and Han Hu opposite! ”
Hearing these words, Wei Ju's chest surged with blood for no reason, warm and uncomfortable. He and Zhiyao have been fighting side by side for two years, even if there was a conflict when he was young, now it can be regarded as a friendship in robes, he hurriedly responded and turned his head away, for fear that if he stayed for a long time, he would shake his determination......
At this point in time, they are still young people, ideals and passions accompany their lives, and more than half a hundred politicians turn their hands into clouds and rain, they can learn, but they can't suddenly adapt.
……
Seeing Wei Ju driving away, Zhi Yao turned his gaze to the smoky Hyun clan, where his lifelong rival Zhao Wuxian was sitting, waiting for his challenge.
"Even if we seize the opportunity, the Zhao army is still strong, and it must be a tough battle today."
Yu Rang and other retainers responded: "With ministers waiting, the lord will be invincible!" ”
Zhi Yao shook his head: "You are loyal soldiers, so naturally you will not live up to the Shitian and Yulu given by the Zhi clan." I have a word in advance, I have won the battle today, whether it is a food or a title, I can meet your wishes! ”
Everyone looked at each other with a hint of joy in their eyes.
"But if I am defeated here, I will no longer be a general, and you will not be a retainer of the Zhi family, the Zhi family is only afraid that the family will be wiped out, and the descendants will be cultivated in foreign countries, and the sacrifice of the temple will be turned into the diligence of the acres, and there will be nothing to give you."
Everyone looked at each other, or Yu Rang was the first to bow down and bowed his hand: "I must go all out, do not dishonor the king's life, and be able to win the appreciation of the lord in this life, it is already the greatest glory of Yu Rang, even if I die, I still don't regret it!" ”
"We must move forward desperately and not disgrace the king's life!" Even though Zhiyao has many problems with the children of the nobles, he treats the strong men very well, and before he knows it, he has a large number of loyal soldiers around him.
He was a little complacent, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, he squinted, raised his hand and pointed to the east and said, "Good! With all the loyal people's promises, Yao's heart is sweet, better than a hundred pots of elixir. At this time tomorrow, if I hadn't stood under the Hyun clan city and showed off my might to Zhao Wuxian, I would have been a dry skeleton on the battlefield, and the survival of the Zhi clan, the life and death of the martial arts, would have been fought here! Two or three sons, encourage them together! ”
……
"Our army's 50,000 foot soldiers are distributed throughout the battlefield, plus more than 10,000 Ding Zhuang people who can go into battle at any time, they are more numerically than the enemy. The generals here have followed me for many years, and since the establishment of the army, since I raised the banner and gained a foothold in the Lu country, when have I fought a battle in which the number of people was superior to that of the enemy? ”
"Regardless of the time, location, and people, our army has taken advantage of it, and two years of recuperation have made the military food sufficient, endless, and affordable! Time is on our side. The eldest son has been recaptured, and Jinyang in the north also has 10,000 partial divisions, ready to go south at any time, and the space is also on our side! Our army has a solid foundation, but Zhiyao is constrained by internal and external troubles, suspicions among the secretaries and doctors, coupled with the plan to lure the enemy deeper, if this is the case, I can't calm the enemy army in one go, even if I die, I have to cover my face with my hair, and I have no shame to see my father, and see Zhao Wuzi, who laid the foundation for this battle! ”
At the same time, Hyun Clan, the head of the Zhao family wears a bright bronze helmet shirtless, and his whole body is wrapped in copper armor, but unfortunately it is not a whole body armor, but a combination of different parts. The relief on the armor is not the chest muscles and abdominal muscles that Tessie's Greek naked men like, but the family emblem that is more acceptable to the aesthetics of the Central Plains, the heart guard is made into a round of burning sun, and there are two three-legged golden crows standing on the shoulder armor, and the jet-black big crow is pouring down from above like a waterfall!
The generals under his command all had to be opened, standing in the tent with murderous spirit, and even Han Hu looked at Zhao Wuxian with reverence, and his blood couldn't help but be stimulated by today's atmosphere.
The coach's outfit is also a way to boost morale, Zhao Wuxian needs the soldiers to treat themselves as gods and move along their arms, even if they want to be defeated and sacrificed, they must not hesitate to execute.
The reward is like the sun and the moon, the letter is like the four hours, the order is like an axe, the profit is like a cadre, and the soldiers do not need to die, there is nothing! This is Zhao Wuxian's method of commanding the army.
They could smell the smell of choking, and the smoke made of wolf dung was lit in Hyun City, which was the signal for the beginning of the decisive battle, and the scouts and banners continued to spread the news from the Danshui line, under the excellent acting skills of Tian Benbu, the enemy army had penetrated deep into the rear of Changping, and the banners of the three armies of Zhiyao also began to walk out of the rammed earth stone fortress one after another, advancing towards the east.
There are the banner of the Zhi family, the flag of the Wei family, the flag of the Fan family, and the flag of Liang Ying's father...... But any enemy that Zhao Wuxian counted could be found on the opposite side.
On the other hand, on Zhao Jun's side, at first glance, there is no order, but in fact, a tight net is slowly opening! A total of three armies participated in the battle, plus the first army that Han had just arrived, it was enough to cover the entire Danshui River Valley......
"The generals listen to the order, the enemy army has entered the urn, you and other Huanjia soldiers for many days, you will definitely endure it, just wait for the ambush on both wings to succeed, the army of the Hyun clan will attack with me, let the doctors of the Jin State Secretary have a good look at the military power of the Zhao clan, it is no longer something they can match!"
The generals have been in this small land for three months, and they have long been in a hurry, and they all want to fight a battle quickly, and they all shout at this moment: "Zhao's Wansheng!" ”
Zhao Wuxian waved his hand to silence them: "In addition, my historian Zuo Qiu Ming is not only making history of traditional countries and chronicles, but also writing another history book of the genre of biography. In today's battle, the hero of great merit can be ranked in Yuntai after his death, and not only that, but his deeds will also be written into the biography and will go down in history forever! ”
For a while, everyone was stunned, especially those from humble backgrounds such as Mu Xia and Qi Wan, as well as Shi Qi who sought fame before and after.
The pursuit of scholars in the Spring and Autumn Period, in addition to obtaining a fief for the feudal monarch and resting with the country, is nothing more than to leave a name in the world, and not to let their name be annihilated in the long river of time. Eating the land and property, Zhao Wuxian is never stingy, and he also said that if he can take charge of the Jin Kingdom after this war, he will even start to seal the territory!
Anyway, there is a large area of wasteland near Handan, and Jinyang and Hejian are also barren, and people are needed to develop it, not to mention that outside the old territory of the Jin Kingdom, there is still a large vast territory waiting for good men to make contributions! As a descendant, Zhao Wuxian's vision has never been limited.
Back then, thousands of miles were looking for the marquis. Pima Shuliang Prefecture. Where is Guan He's dream, the dust is dark and the old mink Qiu. No matter how many generations you live, this is the dream of aspiring men in China...... Zhao Wuxian does not seek thousands of miles, in his lifetime, it would be good to use the name of a feudal monarch to make the eyes and footprints of several generations of young adventurers under his command go three thousand miles outward......
Relative material satisfaction, another ideal is somewhat encounterable but not sought, Lu Guoshu Sun Bao said, life three immortal and leave a name, morality, meritorious service, speech, the requirements are too strict, Fan Ying can not meet this standard in his life, can only regret the end. Comparatively speaking, Zhao Wuxian's biography for the heroes was relatively simple, and it was a good means to inspire them to fight bravely, and everyone was overjoyed.
After they went down, Zhao Wuxian invited Han Hu to go down to the city together, and the two got into the car separately, and said to him before: "The history books will be passed on to the heroes, and the Qing family passed down from generation to generation is the "family", and when the historians write the family for the Zhao family and the Han family in the future, they will say that the prosperity of my two families after the reincarnation of the four seasons begins today!" Ziyin, say goodbye for the time being, when the smoke clears, you and I will gather at the head of the light wolf city, and use Zhiyao's head as a wine vessel to drink! ”
