Spring and Autumn I Am King

(1);

PS: Chapter 2 is in the afternoon, thank you for being the master of this book.

The sound of drums and horns stirred up the melancholy and lonely air of the evening. Before the sunset, Xiaoyi City finally fell. After several days of hard fighting, the victor couldn't help but let out the sound of mountains and tsunamis. (Baidu search network updates the fastest and most stable)

Compared with Juye Township, which was weakened and exhausted by group robbery activities, Chuiqiu Township, Lishan Camp, which fell down due to the defeat of troops, and Shengdou Township, which was destroyed by front and rear attacks, Chengpu is actually the fourth city of Punan. One of the most stubborn resistance in the city.

When Zhao Wuxi's army came to the city, all the people and animals fled back to the city, and the gate of the city was closed, refusing to surrender.

But at this time, Zhao Wuxi's military soldiers, city soldiers, pavilion soldiers, and even the laborers transferred from the newly occupied cities, the Zhao soldiers of the division brought by You Wuzheng were also controlled by him, adding up to a total of 6,000 soldiers. The crowd is equivalent to the total population of the city.

After several days of attack, the city gates were broken.

Of course, the last meritorious deed was a ram built by the Linqiu Craftsman Workshop. The ram was made of a big tree trunk, fixed with bronze chains, and the top was sharpened and then hardened with fire. It was covered with a wooden roof to prevent the city from falling Arrows and stones shot down. This thing existed during the Yin and Zhou dynasties, as the so-called "Lingchong with you to defeat Chongyong".

After the mighty armed parade wiped out possible resistance inside and outside the city, Zhao Wuxi gave the first order.

"Let the cooks in the army make fire and cook meals, give money and silk to the meritorious people, and conscript some of the bedding in the city. But don't let the soldiers enter the city. The military officials will set up camp under the western wall, dig trenches, and place sharp points. Pile, don't slack off, there are still robbers haunting nearby."

Kan Zhi, who followed him, said with a smile, "Isn't the biggest group of 'pirates' in Pushang under the gentleman's command? Although Punan has some thieves who are not affiliated with each other, the minister feels that no one will dare to offend Si Kou. Anger scales."

"Hunger can make people take risks," Zhao Wuxi didn't intend to take the slightest risk, let alone what he really wanted to guard against. In fact, those who participated in the resistance in the city and lost their relatives and friends in the war would hide in the Weiguo who watched them gloomily. It must be admitted that many of them were not happy about Zhao Wuxi's occupation of the city. Fortunately, so far, his disgust has only been stuffed in his heart.

Later, when You Wuzheng asked what Wu Xie planned to do with Punan Siyi, Wu Xie replied: "Wei Guo has repeatedly rebelled against Jin and must be punished. I want to occupy and rule this place temporarily."

"If the Qi people go south, or if the main force of the Wei country returns to the division, these four cities will still be unstable."

Wu Xie pondered for a moment and said: "The south of Punan is the country of Cao, which is friendly to me. The grain that Zigong bought in Taoqiu will be continuously shipped, and there is no need to be blocked by the taxation of the Wei Kingdom. To the east is Onozawa. , Robber Zhi has been beaten and disabled, and now he is even willing to fetch chestnuts from the fire for some food to feed his subordinates. This group of thieves landed on the shore, and many were lured into captivity. As long as good governance is done, the robbery can be subsided. The north is across the Pushui. Backed by Xilu, the Qi people must first break through the defense lines of Qin, Yi, Fan, and Zhen, Luqiu, and Yuncheng before they can threaten this place."

"So the enemy we need to face now is only the Wei country in the west, but Sima should also know that the main force of the Wei army is now in a cocoon, trapped between Qishui and Huanshui, unable to move, even if they return to the country, It will be blocked by my father's army, and it is difficult to threaten this place. The only thing to worry about is that the Qi people will go all the way south after breaking Yiyi. Fortunately, it will be winter. After the snow falls in mid-November, the fighting will be suspended for several months. There is a possibility that the war will resume after the spring till next year. I have time to consolidate my rule in Punan."

You Wuzheng nods at Zhao Wuxi's strategic vision, secretly saying that after two years of leaving the country, the concubine has become more and more skilled in military affairs, and can be called a good soldier, commanding a half army. It is a wise choice to give up the coach himself.

As the saying goes, "Those who make good use of the army. They will no longer be in service, and they will not have food for three years." In this era, the loss of the army is naturally far greater than that of a single battle.

Of course, there is another sentence after this sentence: "Take it for the country, because the food is used by the enemy, so the army can have enough food". Zhao Wuxi occupied Juye and Chuiqiu. After Sheng and Dou Sanyi, they all left a group of people to guard. Before the arrival of support, their food was collected from the local treasury. If the treasury was insufficient, it would be apportioned to the people of the city.

However, in order to win the hearts of the people, Zhao Wuxi didn't intend to go too far, so he didn't even let the soldiers who were red-eyed enter the city, because in the process of sieging the city, there were hundreds of casualties on both the offensive and defensive sides. Severely, something bad will inevitably happen. Looting, rape, and murder, when the anger and **** hidden in the depths of human nature were awakened by the killing of war, he couldn't control them one by one.

The solution is very simple, generous rewards and rewards satisfy their hearts, and harsh punishments deter their courage.

The looters who ignored the ban and entered the city had their heads beheaded and hung on the tower. Zhao Wuxi also stood here overlooking the Pushui. To the north, Zhang Mengtan organized a group of people to build a ferry there to facilitate Xilu. Contact with Punan and material delivery. On the straight and straight road in the south, Zigong's caravans continued to transport food and clothing through Shengdou.

With these two blood transfusion channels, Zhao Wuxi was not considered to be in a foreign country in Punan.

"The Qi people are too strong, and now we can't stand Fan and Bank of China alone. As for the Wei people, how to weaken them as much as possible while preserving the Zhao family's strength is what we need to consider. Now my father has passed the Dahe, we are heading towards Diqiu, and after the situation in Punan is stabilized, I will wait for the opportunity to join him..."

...

In Zhao Jun's tent, before Qu Wuji left, Zhao Yang talked with him for another half an hour.

Zhao Yang expressed his gratitude for Qu Wuji's willingness to let Zhao's black-clothed soldiers pretend to be Wu's envoy and seize Jixia Ferry.

This is considered a trick to abandon honor, and it is also an act of tarnishing the country's reputation when it is done by the envoys of Wu. However, when Fu Sou, who was under Zhao Yang, proposed this strategy, the people of Wu did not have the slightest psychological burden, and agreed to it in front of the promised benefits.

When Yanyan, who still had some integrity and concerns, persuaded Qu Wuji to think about it again, Qu Wuji disagreed: "Zhao Qing promised us that if we are willing to cooperate, we will reduce the price of the horse a little bit. They will also admit that the state of Tan was assigned to the state of Wu, where the benefits lie, why not agree?"

As for the country's reputation... Except for the years when Ji Zha was an ambassador to Zhu Xia, did the state of Wu ever have such a thing? King Helu, who is sitting on the throne now, did not kill Wang Liao only by treachery and a sword.

It turned out that the fighting of the people of Wu is not as old-fashioned as the nobles of Zhuxia. I don't care about playing tricks in war. From the very beginning, it was not a country that liked to play cards according to common sense.

"Falling while mourning" was originally a taboo among feudal lords. But this is the favorite thing for the people of Wu country. For this reason, they are often criticized by the historians of the Xia Dynasty, but the people of Wu don't care about it with "I have a tattoo, and the courtesy is not responsible."

For example, in the spring of the thirteenth year of King Liao of Wu, the state of Wu took advantage of the death of King Chu Ping and the domestic turmoil. Raise troops to attack Chu. The King of Wu sent his mother-in-law, Gongzi Zieyu and Zhuyong, to lead an army to surround Liu and Qian Er of Chu State, and also sent Ji Zha as an envoy to Jin State to observe the movements of the princes.

A few years later in history, the Laoyue King died of illness, and the Wu State took advantage of the mourning and attacked again, resulting in the famous Battle of Carrying Li.

What's more, in the past ten years or so, Sun Wuzi's indomitable tactics and Wu Zixu's unscrupulous efforts for revenge and victory have deeply affected the Wu people.

"Since Qi people are enemies of Wu State. Jin State is an ally of Wu State, and Qi Wei unites against Jin, although Wu State cannot contain Qi State in the south, but we help Zhao Qing to seize the thorns this time, it can be considered as fulfilling the oath. It's..." Qu Wuji so quibble.

Although Qi State and Wu State had a marriage, the daughter of Qi State Jiang, who was previously married to the Prince of Wu, was worried about dying because of missing her hometown. By the way, she also took away the soul and life of the sentimental Prince Wu. The marriage turned into a funeral, and the King of Wu resented the state of Qi because of it, and the prince's husband was able to replace him smoothly.

Therefore, Qu Wuji only cares about whether all the benefits promised by Zhao Yang can be fulfilled. After a few months of getting along. He also determined that the Jin State had many political affairs, but Zhao Yang was the only one who kept his word and was the most worthy of the Wu people in Jin State.

Plus the indirect in-law relationship with Zhao Wuxi. Therefore, when Qu Wuji came to the north this time, it was not so much that he formed the Jin-Wu alliance, but rather the Zhao-Wu alliance...

...

After the conversation, the two saluted each other and said goodbye to each other. Qu Wuji returned to the tent of the Wu envoy, while Zhao Yang put on his armor. There is also a black cloak that his daughter sewed for him, and he went to inspect the camp.

To be honest, this is the life Zhao Yang likes. On the battlefield, walking among the soldiers is much more comfortable than staying in Xinjiangchaotang or Xiagongyuan.

The soldiers of the Zhao clan loved him very much. In front of the campfire, three villagers recruited from Jinyang invited him to share the captured hare. He instructs how to defend against short sword attacks with a shield.

He strolled down the river and saw two sent Rong women riding on the shoulders of two Wenxian county soldiers, playing and playing on the shoal. The two Rong girls were half-drunk and their clothes were disheveled. They laughed and grabbed each other's messy leather clothes, while a dozen other Wen County soldiers cheered.

This time, Zhao Yang's cousin Zhao Luo sent his son Zhao Guangde and more than a thousand people to help. However, the combat effectiveness and military discipline of the soldiers in Wenxian County were not optimistic. It disperses, and at the same time strictly orders the women to enter the camp.

After crossing the thorns, Zhao Yang led his army all the way to the northeast along the river, and now arrived at Chuqiu. There are shrubs called "Jing" and "Chu" growing everywhere in these places, so they are named after Chu.

In recent times, the state of Wei was defeated by the Di people, and Chaoge was almost destroyed. Duke Huan of Qi took the princes to rescue the guards, so he moved the five thousand guards to Chuqiu. After a few decades, the Rong and Di were particularly troubled. The guards might think it was still unsafe, so they moved to the east for dozens of times. The emperor inside and outside Puyang went.

Today, Chuqiu is still mixed with Hua and Rong, and there is a small stronghold of Rong people called "Rongzhou". These small towns can be seen from the city wall of Diqiu. These Rong people have no sense of belonging to the Wei Kingdom, so they are willing to help Zhao Yang's army provided camp and food.

The reason why Zhao Yang chose to stay in Chuqiu was because it was not far away on the north bank of the Great River, and the left and right armies of Wei had given up to stop Fan. He was stationed in the "Yuan", and he could cross the river at any time to recover Punan, which was captured by Zhao Wuxi. Standing in Zhao Yang's position, he could faintly see the camp on the other side.

However, Marquis Wei did not dare to try, because Zhao Yang, who was confronting the river, would attack him halfway at any time, so he was embarrassedly caught in the three branches of Zhao, Fan, and Handan, whose numbers ranged from 10,000 to 5,000. In the middle of the Jin army. Zhao Yang has already sent someone to inform the two families. Although Zhao and Fan have enemies, such a three-sided attack is a great opportunity to weaken Wei. Zuo, you can even put a big hat of collaborating on Zuo Fanji, the lowest ranked soldier in Liuqing!

The first-level official, crushing people to death, just like he was bullied by Fan Yang back then, now it's Fan Yang's son's turn.

As for the Handan clan, the mere sect ~www.wuxiahere.com~ has already released five servers, but in the face of the sect master's orders, they have to consider one or two.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yang couldn't help showing a smile. He is now pressing the guards in the west and facing Puyang in the east. As long as his son Sweeping Punan comes over to join him, and the army is nearly ten thousand, it will make the guards even more uncomfortable.

Just at this moment, a chariot rushed into the camp and sent a biography to Zhao Yang.

The letter was not thick, only a thin piece of paper. After reading it, Zhao Yang's mood changed suddenly, like the weather in winter.

Scholar Zheng Long asked what happened, Zhao Yang closed the letter and said slowly:

"People from Qi, we have finally broken Yiyi!" (To be continued.)
