Chapter 276: Overlord's Husband [2]
Ten miles away from the Jin army camp, the 30,000 troops of Wu were divided into upper, middle and lower armies, and the finished glyphs were arranged into three large squares, each of which was neither too much nor too much, just 10,000 people.
"Who went to the people of the Jin Kingdom to invite war!" Fucha stood on the military cart and asked Wu Jun under his command.
As soon as the husband's voice fell, the fierce general Ru Cao had already taken the lead in responding: "The last general is willing to go!" Please agree! ”
Seeing that Ru Cao, the most courageous general under his command, Fu Cha nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay! The widow ordered Ru Cao to go to the Jin army camp to invite battle! But be careful of the cold arrows of the Jin people! ”
"No!" Ru Cao replied loudly, nodded his head, and hugged his fist towards his husband, and Ru Cao drove a military chariot and rushed to the Jin army camp only a mile away. A little further ahead, you can do the sniping of the sharpshooter.
Although Ru Cao is fierce, he is not stupid, he knows that the invitation to battle must stimulate his own morale, not just shouting to invite battle. Those who are good at archery will tie the war book to the shaft of the arrow and shoot it at the enemy's banner. But Ru Cao knows his own business, he doesn't have such a high archery skill, but as soon as Ru Cao's eyes rolled, he thought of a way. Seeing that Ru Cao ordered the driver to stop the troop sideways, Ru Cao's eyes were round, his arm muscles bulged out like a dragon, and the spear in his hand slammed into the ground.
The entire one-foot-long spearhead and the small half-length spear shaft were sunk into the dirt, or at least three feet into the dirt! The soldiers of the Jin Army who saw behind the wooden wall were dumbfounded, and they couldn't help but have a thought in their hearts, is this guy really human? So much strength!
"Jin people! Dare to fight! Ru Cao roared majestically at this time, and the voice was like a thunderclap on the ground. Combined with the hand before him, the faces of the soldiers of the Jin army couldn't help but turn a little pale, and their fighting spirit couldn't help but weaken.
Even Zhao Ying, who was discussing things in the big tent of the Chinese army, and other Jin doctors heard Ru Cao's roar, which shows how amazing Ru Cao's voice is. Except for Zhao Ying, everyone else couldn't help but change their faces slightly.
"Marshal, now that the people of Wu have come outside, what should we do?" The suzerain of the Han clan, Shangjun Jun Zuo Han, asked in disbelief for a while, and asked in a panic.
Although Zhi Yao is young, he has already shown his wisdom, and although he is a little flustered in his heart, he still calmly analyzes and suggests: "Marshal, listening to the voice of his invitation to battle just now, you can see that the momentum of the people of Wu is very strong. If we go out of the camp to fight now, it will be very disadvantageous for our Jin Kingdom, and even if we win, we will kill 1,000 enemies and lose 300 ourselves. We might as well follow the plan of Cao Di in the past and stick to the camp. Let the time come to consume the will and strength of the Wu people, and at noon, when the Wu people were hungry and crumbling, our Jin army sent troops to fight and hit the Wu people with lightning speed, and the Wu people will definitely be defeated in one fell swoop! ”
Zuo Wei Xuan of the lower army also nodded and said, "This plan is feasible!" ”
Han Buxin just wanted to speak, but he didn't want Wei Hao to say it first, so he could only nod and say that he also had an opinion with Wei Lu.
Although three of the four secretaries had already agreed, Zhao Ying shook his head and vetoed: "No!" The people of Wu have always been deceitful and cunning, and they will definitely not wait until noon! They will surely be invited to battle three times in a short period of time. If I don't go to war, the people of Wu will retreat, but in the eyes of the princes, my Jin State is already afraid of Wu. The princes will then turn to support the state of Wu, which they consider to be powerful, and this time the alliance with the Jin state will definitely be defeated! ”
When Zhi Yao heard this, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face, and nodded his head, a little ashamed. If he really did what he planned, he would definitely miss the major events of the Jin State, even if the Jin State defeated the Wu army afterwards, it would be impossible for the prestige to return to the previous level.
Han Buxin frowned and said, "What should I do, I can't wait for what to do!" ”
At this moment, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and a person walked in outside, and the doctors took a closer look, and it turned out to be Zhao Ying's henchman Sima Yin. Seeing him come in, Zhao Ying immediately asked, "How is Wu Jun outside?" ”
The question of the doctors, only then did they understand, no wonder Zhao Ying was indifferent here, he didn't do anything, it turned out that he had already sent someone to investigate the Wu army.
Sima Yin said with a bitter face: "The morale of the Wu army is very strong, and I have seen the intention of death in their eyes, I am afraid that the Wu army came with the determination to break the cauldron in this battle!" ”
"If you play, what are the odds of winning?" Zhao Ying only frowned when he heard this, but he didn't know why, Zhao Ying's brows quickly relaxed, and he asked Sima Yin in a deep voice.
The doctors present couldn't help but secretly admire Zhao Ying's bearing.
"Two or three! And the victory is also a miserable victory! At least 20,000 people were lost! Sima Yin hesitated for a moment and spoke.
When the doctors heard this, they were all stunned. Zhi Yao asked, "Sima Jiazai, are you saying too much?" It has been nearly two years since our Jin Kingdom began to reorganize its armaments last year! And the morale of the people of Wu is certainly high! But since last year, he has been mobilizing people to expedition to Qi country, how can he have such great ability? ”
(Sima Yin served as the slaughter of Zhao Ying's family, so he called it Sima Jiazai.) Although the upper army Zuo Han didn't believe it, and the general of the lower army, Wei Hao, although he was afraid of Zhao Ying behind Sima Yin, he didn't directly refute it like the young and vigorous Zhi Yao, but looking at their faces, he obviously didn't believe it, and what he thought in his heart was probably similar to Zhi Yao.
But Zhao Ying knew that Sima Yin's speech was always one is one, and two is two, and he will never say one as two and two as one. However, he also knew that it was useless to download more, so Zhao Ying stood up, patted the hem of the robe on his body, and said indifferently: "In this case, you will know the situation when you look outside!" Why say more? ”
Doctor Zhu didn't have an opinion, and followed behind Zhao Ying, but a look of indignation flashed on Sima Yin's face. When Zhao Ying walked past Sima Yin, he patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "Ben Shuai believes in you!" ”
Sima Yin's eyes immediately flashed with gratitude.
Zhao Ying took the doctors to the wooden wall, only to see the Wu army's banner unfurled, 30,000 people standing in the field without moving, exuding a strong fighting spirit from the three phalanxes. However, this was a bit far away, and I couldn't really see it for a while, so the doctors turned to look at Ru Cao, who was close to shouting.
I saw Ru Cao's eyes full of determination, and at this time, he took off the armor of his left arm, revealing his left arm and left chest. Know that the human heart is on the left chest! But this is not just one person, all the soldiers on the Ru Cao military vehicle are dressed like Ru Cao.
At this time, looking at the battle formation of the Wu army from afar, although the distance was very far, the doctors vaguely saw that many people were dressed like Ru Cao, especially the chariot soldiers, the chariot soldiers were all senior soldiers, and the people on the car were all generals. As the saying goes, the generals are like this, and I am afraid that no matter how cowardly the soldier is, he will become brave.
Among the doctors, many of them couldn't help but gasp. Zhi Yao's tongue also became a little knotted and said, "Wu Guoren is crazy! Really, it's crazy! ”
Even Zhao Ying, who seemed so calm and indifferent from the time he got the news, couldn't help but change his face slightly at this moment. He didn't know if the people of Wu were crazy, but he knew that what Sima Yin said was not wrong, defeating such a Wu army would really cost at least more than 20,000 people! Note that it is a loss, not a dead or wounded. In other words, these 20,000 people will either die in battle or be crippled, and they will not be able to go to the battlefield.
Zhao Ying's eyes swept a slight glance at Zhi Yao, Han Buxin, and Wei Yu beside him, and the heart of the battle in his heart was immediately shaken.
Although the four secretaries of the Jin State all participated in this battle, it was because the Zhao clan's fiefdom Handan was closer to the Wei Guo (Huangchi Zhihui was held in the Huangchi in the territory of the Wei Kingdom. Among the 50,000 people, Han Buxin has 6,000, Wei Hao has 4,000, Zhiyao has 7,000, the office has 10,000, and the Zhao family has 23,000. And if there is a war, it must be the Zhao clan as the main force, even if it is evenly divided, the Zhao clan will suffer the most.
At this time, the Jin Kingdom was not the Jin Kingdom of the past, and the contradictions were much more intensified than before. The original Liuqing also wiped out the two clans and became the current Erqing. The simplest and most straightforward changes can be seen from the heirs. Among the heirs, the only remaining four kings have abandoned the primogeniture inheritance system and replaced them with capable people. It can be seen how big the contradictions exist in the Jin family. To the extent that a wrong heir is chosen, the clan may be wiped out.
And if the battle starts, Zhao Ying estimated that Zhao had an army of 23,000, at least 15,000 dead and wounded, and at least 10,000 losses. There is nothing wrong with the Zhao family being a big family, but there are about 40,000 private soldiers in the family, and suddenly a quarter of the combat effectiveness is lost. It's hard to guarantee that these guys around him won't take advantage of the fire to rob, and the Zhao family can't afford to go to the palace again! And at this time, it is impossible for another Cheng Ying to appear.
(Note: The difficulty of going to the palace is an event in the history of the Zhao family that almost wiped out the clan.) The movie Zhao's Orphan is about this. Only one baby remained in the Zhao family, and in the end, after Cheng Ying replaced the Zhao orphans with his own child, the Zhao family's bloodline was continued. The Zhao family was also hit hard because of this, and finally with the help of the Han family, the family was able to recover. And Zhao Ying is the grandson of Zhao Wu, an orphan of the Zhao family. Thinking of this, Zhao Ying made a decision in his heart, although he was quite ashamed of this, and felt that he was ashamed of the king. But for the sake of the Zhao family and the continuation of the Zhao family, he had no choice but to give up the hegemony of the Jin Kingdom. Zhao Ying turned around and said indifferently: "Order to defend it!" Out of the camp to meet the fighter, cut !! ”
When the doctors saw this, they couldn't help but be moved.
Zhi Yao was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed a bit of playfulness, he had already seen some of Zhao Ying's thoughts. However, he didn't say anything, because for the sake of the Zhao family, even if Jin Dinggong came to Zhao Ying now and ordered Zhao Ying to fight, Zhao Ying would not contribute at most, maybe the first defeated army would be the Zhao family's private soldiers.
Fucha invited to fight three times outside the camp of the Jin State, and when he saw that the Jin State did not go out of the camp to fight, and withdrew from the army, he did not dwell on it much. However, even so, the princes who came to participate in the alliance were already aware of the Jin state's concession.
In the afternoon of the same day, the husband struck while the iron was hot, and immediately summoned the princes of all countries to meet the alliance. Zhao Ying also appeared at the scene of the alliance, but this time who took the lead in the alliance, Zhao Ying was a little less insistent than before. As if to show that Jin Guo was unwilling, Zhao Ying just stepped forward to argue with his husband, and he was defeated naturally.
However, Zhao Ying's person is not easy to deal with, although he already knew in his heart that the position of overlord would definitely be abandoned, but he accused his husband and said: "There is only one day in the world!" The only king of the earth! Thou shalt call yourselves kings, and thou shalt be overlords! ”
forced the husband to say in public: "That's just the nonsense of the countrymen!" Where do the widows dare to call themselves the king of Wu? ”
In this way, the husband reverted to his original title, the marquis, and he did not know that he was aggrieved and bowed his hands to those dukes and monarchs to show respect. And those dukes and monarchs, except for Qi Guo's heart secretly refreshed, those small monarchs such as Chen Guo and Wei Guo were embarrassed one by one, don't look at them as dukes, but they are not as good as ruling a big country like Zhao Ying.
But no matter what, Fucha also achieved his goal, and under the supervision of the symbolic surname of Shan Pinggong, the messenger sent by Zhou Tianzi, Fucha was the first to shed blood. Followed by the Jin State, the second is the Qi State, and the others are ranked according to the size of the national strength, and the national strength is almost ranked according to the degree of closeness to the Wu State. After the blood alliance, the puppet of Shan Pinggong announced that the husband was the overlord, and he would be the king of Zhou in the future, and a lot of etiquette surnames.
According to the process, the husband had to negotiate with the kings of various countries over the amount of tribute. The husband must be present in this matter, but the husband is willing. Or is there time for the husband to quarrel with these kings? So the husband announced that considering that the world has been fighting for years and the people of all countries are hungry, this year's tribute will be exempted, and the matter of tribute will be discussed next year.
Touched by the kings of small countries or something, everyone is singing the praises of Fucha's benevolence, and he is quite pleased to hear Fucha. I feel that I am a blessing in disguise, and my mood has become worse because Yang Zilu has broken through Gusu City, and I am also a lot better.
Fucha didn't know that these guys were all grass on the wall, don't look at what they said was better than blowing, when they knew that Fucha had been copied back road, they immediately stopped paying tribute. And Zhao Ying took the opportunity to send people to various countries and blackmailed: What, the boss is gone, logically speaking, when it comes to me, the second brother, has taken over, what about the tribute? Don't tell me you forgot?
Although the kings of those vassal states are unwilling, they are unwilling. But he still made people prepare immediately, and paid tribute to the Jin State with a bitter face, and only the Qi State did not dump the Jin State. However, the Jin Kingdom actually maintained its position as the overlord, and Zhao Ying also took the opportunity to say how wise he was, and he had long known how his husband was, and he was just retreating. flickered so much that Jin Dinggong was like a chicken cutting rice, so that Zhi Yao, who was going to secretly participate in Zhao Ying's book, so that Zhao Ying's unlucky three corpses jumped violently, but he was helpless.
On the contrary, because of his 'wisdom', Zhao Ying was also rewarded by the Duke of Jin Ding, and gave one-tenth of the tribute of various countries to Zhao Ying. Coupled with the original division of each secretary, Zhao Ying received thirty percent of the tribute in one fell swoop, which also made Zhi Yao secretly jealous, laying the groundwork for Zhi Yao's revenge on the Zhao family after he ascended the throne.
