Chapter 281: Father and Son (II)
At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the weather on the north bank of Pushui was still extremely hot, Zhao Wuxian took more than 100 steps to ride to meet Zhao Ying's army, and after walking for an hour, he approached Zhenyi.
Under Zhao Wuxian's exhortation and request, Zhenyi was regarded as his own land, and the Jin army dominated by the Zhao family did not plunder, but the neighboring towns had to suffer. This kind of army that costs a lot of money goes out, and if the Zhao clan doesn't grab anything back, it will be a trip in vain, and they won't be able to explain it to the people. It is expected that in a few months, there will be hundreds of new people with Weiguo accents in the Jinyang area.
"If you take it for the country, because the food is for the enemy, then the army can have enough food." This seems to be the common concept of the good use of soldiers in this era, rather than the genius of Sun Tzu alone.
Most people don't think there is anything about this, the Jin State and the Chu State have been dominating for more than a hundred years, and they have long been accustomed to riding on the heads of the princes as a father, not to mention that providing military endowments is one of the conditions that the defeated country should bear.
Only Dou Li, a wolf doctor with a reputation for courtesy, benevolence and righteousness, raised some objections.
"Zhongjun Zuo, the defense of the country has just been peaceful, Jin Wei Fang, if you send troops to plunder, I am afraid that the defenders will be dissatisfied."
"The service is no longer a membership, the grain is not three years, and the army is conscripted, but the harvest is delayed for three months. Whether to put the burden of this war on the heads of the Jin people, or on the heads of the Wei people, and change the Ming calf to be the master, how should you choose? ”
After Zhao Ying said this, Dou Li didn't say anything more and retired silently.
Zhao Wuxian watched this small dispute without saying a word, he only guaranteed that Zhenyi would not be harassed in Zhenyi, and as for the outside, it was none of his business, and even this would drive the guards of the outer city to flee to Zhenyi and increase the population under his rule.
He then smiled and pointed to the wall full of people standing in the distance and said, "Father, please look, Zhen Yi has arrived!" ”
The ravines outside the four gates of Zhenyi had been re-excavated by those Qi prisoners, and the fences had been erected, as if they had become a fortress. The officials who were retained because of their cooperation and obedience, and the Zhen clan of the great clan were once again shouted to the west wall to "welcome the army of the alliance leader", which was actually still a deterrent.
Look away. I saw more than 10,000 Jin troops coming over and stopping to camp in the field outside the wall. I saw flags like a forest, people and horses neighing, rolling up rolling dust. When the tent was erected, it was like a white cloud covering the field. Zhen Zhongxun and the others on the wall were shocked by this scene, their faces were like earth, and their feet trembled slightly, the Central Plains has been peaceful for decades, and this kind of scene of army crossing has not been seen for many years.
The military officials under Zhao Wuxian, who were born in the countryside, held their heads high, pointing fingers and showing off the prosperity of Zhao soldiers to the Song recruits.
The warriors were alone outside the Jin Kingdom. At present, it does not belong to any force, which makes the soldiers feel that they also have a strong backer behind them, and it is also an incentive for morale.
Approaching the city gate, the people of Zhenyi, who had just been frightened, fell to their knees, their foreheads on the ground, and their buttocks pouted high, welcoming the arrival of the military commander of the Jin Kingdom.
"The chiefs and clans of the province greet the military leaders of the country!"
Zhao Ying stood in a military uniform and on the car, these officials of Xiaoyi and the clan of the Ten Vehicles family were not looked at by him at all, and he continued to talk to Zhao Wuxian. The arrogant attitude made everyone even more jealous.
Zhao Ying looked at the well-governed, except for the soldiers who were on guard in the streets and alleys, he couldn't see the city that had changed hands at all, and said: "The doctor of this town is the Kong family, and he is still in Puyang, and it is estimated that he will complain to the Jin State for Zhenyi in a few days, you want to occupy this place for a long time, how do you control it?" ”
Zhao Wuxian said respectfully: "In the past ten years, the guards who dared to resist and rebel were all taken out of the city to deal with it, and the Yi Temple was replaced by a respectful and obedient chief to handle government affairs. The 500 guards were previously disarmed, and are currently used as laborers such as repairing walls, and after the autumn harvest, they plan to recruit a new group into the military pawns. The 600 people who were captured were imprisoned in batches and starved for their bodies. If they do not have the strength to resist, they may be punished with hard labor in the future, or wait for the ransom of the Qi State. ”
Looking at the guards who greeted them with smiling faces, as well as the former guards in short clothes and short brown, who bowed their heads to their ears, Zhao Ying stroked his beard and said: "Grabbing the land is like eating crabs." Remove its shell armor and claws, and then let you slaughter it, and you are in a good order, what about the great clan? ”
Zhao Wuxian knew that Zhao Ying's arrogance at the gate of the city was singing blackface, so as to give himself the opportunity to sing redface, so he said: "The local clan Zhen is a branch of the surname Ji, and now that the Qi people have been defeated and retreated, my father's army has arrived, and he has completely surrendered. His patriarch was quite decisive, and the group of people within him who wanted to unite with the Qi people were betrayed and imprisoned by him first, while a few people close to us were entrusted with the position of elders. It is thought that as long as it is appeased and given some benefits, this clan can become a help to govern the country. ”
"Good, what about the countrymen?"
Zhao Ying's most important thing is the people's aspirations, and Zhao Wuxian is the same, he said: "Because there was no killing and looting when the city was broken, the mood of the people was relatively stable, and I believe that as long as they feel that they are better off under my rule than under Dr. Yuan Zhen, they will soon abandon their prejudices and return to them like flowing water." ”
As Zhao Wuxian said, compared to ten days ago, after making sure that these Jin people would not suddenly rush into their houses, violate their wives and daughters, capture Ding Zhuang, and rob corn and wheat, the people of Zhenyi have become much friendlier to the soldiers. There were gradually some people on the street, the city began to recover, and those stranded businessmen gradually got up and left, and naturally Zhao Wuxian's shadows were also mixed in among them.
Unconsciously entered the Yi Temple, which was also heavily guarded, and two huge wooden planks were nailed to the outside of the wall, which were respectively aimed at the military commanders of "no indiscriminate killing, no destruction of rooms, no filling of wells, no cutting down of trees, and no moving of six animals", and the martial law order, curfew, and labor order requiring the people of Zhenyi to do the Shunmin under Zhao Wuxian's rule.
At present, Zhenyi has not lifted the so-called "military control" of Wuxi, but with the surrender of the country, this tense wartime state can be put to an end, and the next thing is to govern the people.
The doors of the spacious hall opened and closed, and everyone retreated, leaving only Zhao Ying, Zhao Wuxian, father and son.
Zhao Ying glanced here, everything was as before, there were no fancy utensils, and it could be seen that the bronze components in some places were still pried off, needless to say, they must have been sent to the caster to make weapons.
It seems that after taking this place, Wuxian did not get carried away and indulge in drinking and enjoying himself.
"Be prepared for danger in times of peace, be prepared, be prepared, dare to use this rule, you have done a good job."
He paced again to the map of the situation in Pubei, which was full of wooden figurines. Finger belly caressing Zhen Yi's position, this place has been planted with the banner of the Zhao family.
Looking at Zhao Wuxian, who obediently helped him set up his shoes and presented the Sang Mu Tiger Fu that represented the power of Zhen Yi, Zhao Ying smiled slightly: "I haven't seen you so attentive when I went to the palace." ”
Zhao Wuxian bowed down again and said, "It's said to be stopped." Wai and nostalgic. After traveling for half a year, I miss my father, my brothers and sisters, and I also miss the scenery of Xinjiang. But he can only endure in this foreign land in Pubei. Only when a wanderer leaves home will he know that he is homesick, and then he will understand what the poem says. ”
Wuxian's words brought emotion, and for a while, Zhao Ying's heart was also broken, although his talent was the first generation of the Jin Dynasty, and he had many amazing deeds, he was still a fourteen-year-old boy who had just won the crown.
The tiger also licked the calf, and then his emotions showed a little, and he sighed and said: "How can it not be the case for a father, he has never stopped planning for you to return to the country, and your sister is also like this." He also said that he had to wait for you to return to China before he could do the ceremony......"
Zhao Wuxian's ears moved, and his heart also moved, but when he looked up, he met Zhao Ying's meaningful eyes.
Zhao Yingyan looked at Wuxian for a while, and when he saw that he was a little weak-hearted, he changed his words in vain: "However, the man of the Zhao family will not be immersed in the thoughts of returning home, the situation in Pubei is unpredictable, continue to talk about your plan to enter Lu." ”
Zhao Wuxian coughed lightly, pointed to the map and said, "The kid thinks that although the defense of the country this time is peaceful, it will not last long. Wei Hou is cunning, and his heart to favor the Qi country has been decided, and even if he swears a blood oath, he can't restrain it. Today's Wei Guo, like Zheng Guo before, is only strong and dependent. Therefore, as a punishment and warning for the defense of the country, Zhen Yi should be deprived! ”
His gaze turned to the east: "The state of Lu is after the Duke of Zhou, and it is in harmony with Jin." Because of the geographical relationship at the time of the separation, Qi was large and close to Lu, and Lu and Qi were naturally enemies. There is an urgent need for the Jin State to be protected from the bullying of the Qi State, and in the past few years, he has been attacking Zheng and Qi for the Jin State, and he has been extremely diligent. Therefore, the kid thinks that Zhen Yi, who was deprived of self-defense, should be given to Lu as a reward for them to remain loyal allies of the Jin State! ”
The Jin State was the lord of the Zhuxia Alliance, and it was one of the functions and powers to divide the land of the cities and conduct arbitration between the states, and there was a precedent for this kind of thing. As early as when Jin Wen was hegemonic, he punished the pro-Chu Wei Guo and ceded their Jixi Zhitian to the Lu State, which was actively close to the Jin State.
Later, when the Jin mourning duke, he had destroyed the small country established by the Dongyi people to force Yang, and after the capture, he gave it to Song Qing Xiang Rong as a fiefdom, and this town is still in the hands of the Xiang brothers.
During the reign of Jin Ping, because his mother was the daughter of the Duke of Qi, he forced Lu to return the territory seized from Qiguo, which caused great dissatisfaction among the people of Lu.
These things are of course clear to his brains, and they are also taken into account at the timing.
Zhao Ying listened to Zhao Wuxian and Zhang Mengtan study the strategy together for two months, and after pondering for a while, he asked, "It seems that the benefits are more than this, you can just say it." ”
The conspiracy has appeared, but it is only the tip of the iceberg of this strategy, and there is a huge conspiracy hidden in it, Zhao Ying is not so easy to deceive, Zhao Wuxian has to confide what he can say like pouring beans.
"The Jin State has gained the upper hand in the battle for hegemony with Qi this time, seized the ownership of the country, and the three kings are working together to advance eastward, and the Qi people may retreat without a fight in order to avoid their edge. But presumably my father knows better than me that by the time of the autumn harvest in the ** month at the latest, the people of the country in the Jin army will definitely be worried about the farming affairs at home, and they will suffer from hard labor, so they can only return to the country and disband. When the Qi people come to the west again, the Jin government is multi-gate, and the conscription of such an army can not be repeated, and when the time comes, not only will the Wei State turn to the Qi people, but even the Lu State cannot guarantee whether it can withstand the attack of the Qi people. ”
Zhao Ying's head, this Jin Kingdom's attack was launched under the premise that the six Qings had their own thoughts, and everyone kept their strength. It's okay to fight a tailwind battle, but let alone Qi Guo, even if it is Zheng Guo, who is slightly stronger in combat, Liuqing is unwilling to face it head-on.
Therefore, Zhao Wuxian's analysis is not bad at all, the worst situation, the Jin State will even face the rebellion of all the princes of the Central Plains, become a loner, and completely lose its hegemony!
"There is also a benefit, which is to separate Lu and Wei!"
"Among the sons of King Wen, Duke Zhou and Uncle Wei Kang have the best relationship, Lu Wei's government, and brothers, but if Zhen Yi enters Lu, Wei Guo will be dissatisfied, and when it comes to the division of the territory, the difficulty for the Qi people to include Lu and Wei together in the alliance will definitely be doubled! As the Zhen doctor of the Lu State, the kid is located in Lu Xi, so he can lie between Lu Wei, can reach a situation of pinching and defending the country with the Jin State, can also prevent Lu Wei and Lu Qi from being friendly, and can even deter Cao and Song to the south, waiting for the opportunity to make Wuqing bow his head, this is all the plans of the kid! ”
After saying these words in one breath, Wuxian stared at Zhao Ying's expression, his success or failure in the next few years may lie in whether he can convince his "father" first. And there is another hidden conspiracy, he can't and doesn't dare to say it rashly, in this world, only he and Zhang Mengtan know.
Zhao Ying clapped his hands and praised: "It is reasonable for the barren guard to be fat, but also, I will definitely do my best to promote this proposal!" ”
He narrowed his eyes slightly: "But there are too few thousand-room towns, how to match the son of the Zhao family, when the father will capture the Qiren Qiu, I will give you a gift for your fifteenth birthday!" (To be continued.) )
