Under the instruction of Qingji, Bo Que came to the Jin Marquis Xingyuan on the side of the Luoyi Wangcheng, and after negotiating with the Jin people, he finally exchanged Wu Zixu's wife and children with Zhao Ying's henchman Dong Anyu.

Originally, he wanted the Jin people to leave and return together, but the Jin people claimed that they were going to leave and disappeared.

After the negotiation was fruitless, Bo Biao could only take Wu Zixu's wife and children back to Qingji to return to Qingji.

For wanting to leave that despicable villain, Qingji didn't care too much.

Under the general trend, Qingji can find another opportunity in the future to let the assassins of the Black Ice Platform find Yao Li and assassinate him!

Qingji generally doesn't hold grudges, because if he has a grudge, he may take revenge on the spot.

The next day, on the bank of the Luoshui River, a square platform has been erected, and those who came to participate in the alliance were Wu Wang Qingji, as well as Ji Wu, the Marquis of Jin, and some important ministers of Wu and Jin would also participate.

As for Zhou Tianzi, Ji Kuo is responsible for mediating and acting as a peacemaker.

And Zheng Boji was tacitly put aside by Wu and Jin.

Ji Qi originally came to Luoyi with the Marquis of Jin, and lived in the royal city's herald.

This time, the victim of the alliance of soldiers is Zheng Guo.

Wu Zixu led the army to conquer Xinzheng City, and Ji Qi had no choice but to flee, hoping to get the help of the Jin people, and together they joined forces to defeat the Wu army and drive Wu Zixu's soldiers and horses out of the territory of Zheng State.

However, the Jin people did not show themselves actively in this matter.

Obviously, both the Marquis of Jin and the Liuqing were unwilling to go to war with the State of Wu easily and made a big move.

So there was an alliance between Luoyi and the soldiers, and the price was that Zheng Guo's cities and lands would be divided.

Jin Marquis Ji Wu, that is, the historical Jin Dinggong, is about the same age as Qingji, both of them are in the year of establishment, but Ji Wu's body is relatively thin and looks heroic.

Ji Wu, who is wearing a wide crown dress and a flat crown on his head, looks a bit like a "crown of monkeys......

Qingji wore a regular suit, with a purple and gold crown to tie his hair, and a Longyuan sword at his waist, with a dignified appearance and extraordinary martial arts.

Under the witness of Zhou Tianzi, after Qingji and Ji Wu saluted each other, they sat opposite each other on the square platform.

Accompanying Ji Wu were the Shangqing Shi Ying and Zhao Ying of the Jin Kingdom, as well as some unknown Qing doctors and their retainers.

Accompanying Qingji were a number of ministers such as Shi Fan Li, Tingwei Bo Gu, and Imperial Historian Wu Zixu.

In front of Qingji and Ji Wu, they all just stood behind them and didn't sit down.

Outside the square platform, there is a flag covering the sun, and the spear is like a forest.

The guards of the Wu army and the soldiers of the Jin army all stood opposite each other, looking at each other with fierce eyes.

"Marquis of Jin, the widow means ......"

Qingji came to the screen with the sheepskin map hanging, took out a straight whip, and pointed to the place called "Xinzheng".

"With Xinzheng as the dividing line, I, Wu Guo, can give up Xinzheng City and return it to Zheng Guo."

"The territory of Zheng State is divided into three, and more than a dozen cities east of Xinzheng, such as Xinzheng, Changge, Zhitian, and Niushou, can still belong to Zheng State."

"Wu and Jin can equally divide the land of the cities west of Xinzheng, with glazed water as the boundary, eight cities north of glazed water will belong to Jin, and seven cities south of glazed water will belong to Wu, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Ji Wu did not speak, but quietly stared at the sheepskin map.

After discussing it with Shi Ying and Zhao Ying around him, Ji Wu finally nodded and agreed.

"Good!"

This time, Qingji can be said to have divided Zheng Guo's territory into three parts.

Bounded by glazed water, the Jin state has one more city than the Wu state, but the territory is slightly smaller.

It's harmless.

Zheng Guo is actually not a small country, among all the Chinese vassal states, Zheng Guo can be called the top among the middle countries.

From the perspective of territory, Zheng is now similar to Lu, larger than the three medium-sized countries of Song, Wei and Chen.

In terms of population, Zheng Guo is also the same as Lu Guo, with more than one million.

Zheng Guo is located in the Central Plains, fertile fields, suitable for farming, and the roads extend in all directions, making Zheng Guo's commerce quite prosperous.

Therefore, Zheng's comprehensive national strength is not bad, stronger than Lu, Yan, and Chu, and weaker than Wu, Jin, Qi, and Qin.

Why did a powerful country like Zheng Guo fall to such a state?

It's just self-inflicted!

Zheng Zhuang Gong, with his eloquence and strategy, made Zheng Guo the first to become strong and dominate the princes in the Spring and Autumn Period, so that there was "the princes of the world, none other than Zheng Dang".

The famous Xiangzi has a good way of governing the country, so that Zheng Guolu is not left behind, and the house is not closed at night.

In the early Spring and Autumn Period, Zheng Guo had three armies, and the army used in the civil war had reached 200 times.

In addition to the three armies, there were both unarmed soldiers and temporary additional troops.

As far as Qingji knew, the original Zheng State had an army of 100,000 people, and 60,000 were gathered in the capital.

Zheng Guo's military strength should be higher than that of Lu State.

In the twenty-fifth year of Lu Xianggong, that is, in 548 B.C., Zheng Zizhan and Zichan took 700 cars to attack Chen, and the number of cars was equal to the number of Jin cars in the Battle of Chengpu.

Later, in the battle between Jin and Zheng Tie, the Jin general Wei Prince Kuai Yan climbed on the iron hill to watch Zheng Jun, saw that Zheng Jun was a lot, he was scared, and threw himself under the car.

In this battle, the Jin people regarded Zheng as their great enemy, which shows that Zheng's army has never been weak from the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period to the end of the Spring and Autumn Period.

The Zheng army had fought with the combined forces of Jin, Chu and the princes, and the princes' soldiers did not even dare to cross the Zheng territory for fear of Zheng, but were defeated by the Zheng army.

The strength of Zheng Guo's military strength can be seen from this, and it is not a lie to say that it is a country of a thousand times.

Zheng Guo adopted the "military system", which is similar to the military and peasant integration system that is now prevalent in other countries.

Most of them are for the "soldiers" and the "people".

"Shi" refers to samurai, whose only career is to learn martial arts and fight.

As for ordinary Li Shu, they usually engage in agriculture in three seasons, practice martial arts in one season, and hold hunting to teach martial arts in the four seasons of farming, and conduct a big exercise once every three years.

The standing army of the state was the samurai and the like, and in the event of war, they would recruit soldiers and civilians.

When Qingji heard that Wu Zixu led his troops to attack Zheng, he was a little frightened, that is, he was worried that Zheng Guo's war potential was too great and might drag down Wu State.

However, now that Qingji thinks about it, he seems to have forgotten about the "butterfly effect".

Zheng Guo has been greatly weakened.

Two years ago, Shen Zhuliang of Chu led his army to defeat the Zheng army, and once his troops came to the city of Xinzheng, but fortunately, because of the outbreak of the Bai Gongsheng Rebellion in Chu, the Zheng army followed and regained the lost territory.

At that stage, Zheng Guo should have recuperated and restored his national strength.

Then, at the instigation of the Jin State, the Zheng people attacked the newly established Jing State in the spring of this year, and were directly led by Wu Zixu to behead more than 10,000 people in the area of Fangcheng, and Tian Sui Tho also achieved a great victory in Yeyi.

This adds up before and after, Zheng Guo didn't know that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses had died, anyway, the main army was gone.

No wonder Wu Zixu was able to lead his troops to Xinzheng City in a battle.

Although the original Zheng Guo was known as the "country of a thousand times", with 100,000 people, these 100,000 horses were just temporarily put together.

Can you fight it?
