Chapter 696: Drinking the Yellow River

Under the persuasion of his ministers, Zhou Tianzi sent Shan Zining and Liu Ziyan to lead 10,000 Zhou divisions to the underworld with Zheng Jun.

In addition, Lu Hun, Yang Wei, Quan Gao, Yin Luozhi Rong and other Rong people who were originally subject to the Jin State joined the coalition army, and the scale was about 20,000 people.

Why is there still Rong Di in the area of Yinshui, Luoshui, and Yindi, such a Central Plains?

It's a long story!

In the early Spring and Autumn Period, the royal family declined, and the princes competed for hegemony, at that time, the situation of "the system of the Son of Heaven is thousands of miles, the prince and the marquis are 100 li, the Bo is 70 li, and the son and the man are 50 li" The situation has not changed fundamentally, and the territory of the vassal states has not yet been connected, and there are still many gaps between the countries.

A small number of tribes, especially the Rong and Di in the north, have moved inward, forming a situation of intermingling with the Huaxia people.

During the struggle for hegemony between Qin Mugong and Jin Huigong, some of these Rong people were appeased by Jin Huigong.

Jin Huigong induced them to move south to the land of Yin Luo, compressing Zhou Tianzi's living space, and creating an excuse for the Jin State to continue to encroach on the land directly under Zhou Tianzi.

After they moved to the land of Yin Luo, they still did not unify with each other, but had a forest of departments.

Moreover, they are not necessarily so obedient and only squatting in Yin Luo's land, for example, Zhirong surnamed Jiang once moved north to the Jin Kingdom, and was driven back to Yin Luo by the Jin Kingdom.

Finally, they are not nomads, but agrarian herders!

This time, how many people are there in the army that Qingji wants to command?

Led by Wu, the nine vassal states of Cai, Xu, Zhongwu, Tang, Xue, Teng, Ju, Di and Tan had a total strength of 75,000 people.

This part belongs to Qingji's descendant troops.

Moreover, as a vassal state of Wu, its army was trained by the generals of the Wu army, which was equivalent to the Wu army, and its combat effectiveness was quite strong.

The Qin army was 50,000, the Zheng army was 35,000, the Zhou army was 10,000, and the Rong coalition army was 20,000.

Therefore, the army that Qingji wants to directly command is as many as 190,000!

This time the Jin Kingdom can be said to be in a big disaster.

Not to mention that all the princes' coalition troops combined, almost 400,000, in the north, Lou Fu, Lin Hu and other alien races will not let go of this great opportunity.

……

"Winter! Winter! Winter! ”

In the wilderness, the drums of war sounded in a dull and murderous atmosphere.

The 190,000 soldiers of the princes' alliance army were divided into several phalanxes and stood solemnly.

The flag covers the sky, and the spear is like a forest.

As far as the eye can see, there are all kinds of flag costumes.

Here, it is "yin".

It is all south of the Yellow River and north of the Bears Ears Mountains.

Zhao Dun invaded Zheng with the princes' divisions from the shadows, which was the place where the garrison was held at that time.

And now, Feng Shui takes turns.

The Yin Land has become the place where Qingji attacked the Jin Kingdom!

On the square platform, Qingji sits on the main seat, and on the left and right sides are Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, Ji Sheng, Zihu, Shan Zining and other princes and doctors.

Commanding an army of 190,000 to fight, this is the first time that Qingji has ever been killed!

"Second and third sons!"

Qingji looked around, looked at the princes and doctors present, and many leaders of the Rong clan, and said loudly: "This time to attack Jin, our task is to smash the Jiangdu of the Jin State and capture the monarchs and ministers of the Jin State!" ”

"This is a long way to go!"

"However, the widow always believes that as long as we are united and sincere, we will succeed in the first battle and achieve the great cause of destroying the Jin!"

As soon as they heard this, everyone bowed to Qingji and said, "I am willing to obey the orders of Wu Hou (the king)!" ”

"Good!"

Qingji nodded, and said: "In this battle, the widow must apply for five orders before the battle, and make three chapters with the second and third sons. ”

"Whoever kills the people of Jin, the murderer dies, and the wounded and the thief are punished!"

"Our coalition army is a righteous army, and we must not do anything like treachery, plunder, and indiscriminate killing of innocents, I hope you will cherish it!"

"No!"

The crowd sang loudly.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the reason why Qingji has three chapters of the law is mainly aimed at Lu Hun, Yang Wei, Quan Gao, and Yin Luozhirong, who are of the Rong people.

Why?

Because the army of the Central Plains princes, not to mention the extremely high military quality, but the most basic moral bottom line, will never let the soldiers burn, kill and loot like bandits, and do all kinds of evil.

That's the bottom line!

Rong Di is different.

Those who are not of my race will have different hearts.

They don't care about the life or death of Li Shu of the Jin Kingdom at all, they only care about their own happiness, they can grab it, and kill it if they can......

This is something that Qingji cannot tolerate.

There are two reasons for this.

The first is the corruption of military discipline, which is not conducive to the ensuing war of the coalition forces.

The second is to be jealous of his own disgust with this kind of thing.

"Fan Li!"

"The minister is here!"

"You are responsible for assembling a temporary overseer, and if any coalition soldier is found to have violated the three edicts set by the outnumber, regardless of status, he will immediately enforce it!"

"No!"

Fan Li immediately agreed.

The leaders of the Rong tribe here did not look very good.

However, since they have arrived here, when the situation is stronger than people, they can only hope that Qingji can lead the coalition army to break through Jiangdu, and then let them eat meat and drink soup with them......

"Another ......"

Qingji thought for a while, and then said: "Regarding the equal division of the land of the captured cities, we will discuss it after the war." I wonder if the second and third sons can be trusted by widows? ”

"It's nature!"

The great master of the Qin State, Zihu, immediately saluted towards Qingji, and said with a smile: "The name of Wu Hou's justice is known to the world!" In the matter of dividing up the cities and lands occupied by the Jin State, the Qin State should obey the Marquis of Wu! ”

"Zheng Guo is the same!"

Zheng Bo Jisheng followed.

The rest of the Zhou royal family's feudal monarchs Shan Zining and Liu Ziyan, as well as the leaders of the Rong clan, also had no objection to Qingji's request.

After all, when Qingji led his vassal alliance army to attack Chu in the early years, he was able to achieve an equal share of interests.

"Good!"

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Qingji nodded, and then began to deploy the combat mission.

"Uncle Zheng, you are responsible for leading the Zheng army and the Zhou division, passing through Taolinsai, Zhanbai Valley and Bian, and then crossing the big river (Yellow River), entering Wei, Zhi, Linghu, Dong and other cities, starting from Longmen Mountain!"

"No!"

Qingji set his eyes on Zihu again, and said: "Zihu, you are responsible for leading the Qin army to march from the east, cross the Kunshan Mountain, and occupy the cities of Yu, Tong, Anyi, and Zhouyang of the Jin State until you conquer Ji County, the former capital of the Jin Kingdom!" ”

"No!"

Zihu immediately received the order.

Qingji looked around again, looked at the generals present, and said loudly: "The rest of the troops, go north directly with the widows, drink the Ma River, and after besieging the Jindu Jiangcheng, divide the troops to capture Pingyang, Jia, Kundu and other cities along the Fenshui!" ”

"Be sure to cut off all contact between Jiangdu and the outside world!"

"Respectfully!"

The real purpose of Qingji is to surround the capital of the Jin Kingdom.

Protracted war?

Not necessarily.

Because the coalition army belongs to the labor expedition, the logistics supply pressure is too great when there are many soldiers and generals.

Qingji naturally expects a quick solution.
