ps: Chapter 2 is at night, ask for a recommendation ticket!

Different from the 'chaos' of the six ministers in history, the Zhao clan had been under the Chaoge City for a long time, and it was not until the sixth year of the civil war that they captured the big city. Now Zhao Wuxian went to the Chaoge in ten months, which shocked the world greatly. of. [A lot of good novels]. Update so fast. Now that the 20,000-strong army was stationed outside Zhongmu City, the sound of the killing was so loud that it was difficult for Buddha, who had no experience in wars, to resist.

Therefore, it was extremely tenacious in history and resigned to rebellion. It was not until Zhao Xiangzi inherited the family business that he was completely resolved. Under the same experience as him, Yang Hu persuaded him to surrender and intimidated him. He expressed his willingness to pack up the sword and return to Zhao. 's.

The oath was just a passing scene. Zhao Wuxi and the Buddha met across the moat, and sacrificed to the local gods and mountains and rivers in a small prison. The Buddha vowed not to rebel again, while Zhao Wuxi vowed to save his 'life' and even The seat of Zhongmuzai.

The next day, Zhao Wuxi rode his horse into the "gate" in the south of Zhongmou, and after notifying the whole city of Zhongmou's return to Zhao, the Buddha's "meat" took Jing and surrendered.

However, he saw three long beards, which described the upper body of a clean Buddha's ****, his face as earthy. Slightly like a god, I see it now, the Buddha is stupid, he was 'bewitched' by Fan and Handan, and he did something that betrayed the Lord.

Zhao Wuxi's posture was very good. He dismounted and helped the Buddha up, "If you sincerely surrender, I will abandon my previous suspicion. In the future, the Zhao clan will still be the master of Zhongmu, and you will still be the minister of the Zhao clan."

However, he still couldn't rest assured about the Buddha. The first thing he did after entering the city was to let Mucha and others take over the guards, and let Cheng Tuan and others control the treasury, while he brought the Buddha to appease the people in the city.

Zhongmu City is smaller than Chaoge, but larger than general counties and towns, and has a good population base and agricultural foundation. No wonder it was later in the early years of the Warring States Period. The state of Zhao once settled here for half a century, and then moved to Handan, more than 200 miles to the north.

After the Buddha put on his clothes, he seemed to be following behind. Summarize the situation in the city one by one: "Zhongmu City plus the surrounding small towns, there were originally 5,300 households. The population was 36,000. Recently, many people from neighboring counties have poured in, and the number is close to 40,000... …”

"Yes, it's almost the sum of Xiyang and Yongyu. From this, you can see that your ability to rule the city is indeed outstanding."

After complimenting him, when he went outside the county temple, Zhao Wuxi asked what he was most concerned about: "Where are the soldiers and armor? If they are recruited on the spot, how many soldiers can Zhongmu recruit?"

"According to the calculation of one employee per household, there are now one division's main soldier and one division's remaining soldiers in the city. Now that farming is over, it's no problem for the prince to take out 4,000 people before winter."

"Shan, go down and invite Zhongmu's elders, elders and clan chiefs to the county temple, I want to meet them."

After the Buddha left, Zhao Wuxi turned around and praised Yang Hu, who had recovered his mysterious attire: "Buddha is indeed a talent."

Yanghu looked at the back of the Buddha, and said in a 'yin' and 'yin' way: "Of course, but the more talented he reads; the more I feel that this person should be killed as soon as possible!"

...

Xiang Lu, who was accompanying Zhao Wuxi, shuddered, and moved his footsteps unconsciously. I want to stay away from Yanghu.

It was this person who went into the city to persuade Zhongmou to surrender, and it was this person who swore to guarantee the Buddha's 'life'. Now that he has just won the city, he suggested that the lord kill him!

Zhao Wuxi was also slightly surprised, and said in a low voice, "You suggest killing the Buddha? Why?"

Yang Hu said: "The prince can see the look of Zhao Bing from the people in the city? Their faces are definitely not with a pot of pulp to welcome the lord's joy, but with a trace of strangeness and suspicion, they enter the court song with us. It's almost the same time. After all, this place has almost become a 'private' town of the Buddha. If the prince wants to use this as the base for the people who enter Handan and Bai people in the north, he must wash away the influence of this person staying in this city as soon as possible and kill him. Destroying their clan is the most effective way!"

Zhao Wuxi groaned slightly. Yang Hu's 'nature' is ruthless, and what he said has a certain truth, but there are also disadvantages to killing the Buddha who just joined him.

To kill, or not to kill, the hesitant Zhao Wuxi stepped into the county temple, but encountered an unexpected situation.

A white-haired old woman knelt down on the bluestone floor in front of her, and let the vertical people in the county temple persuade them not to leave, while Zhao Wuxi's 'servants' guards, as if facing a great enemy, pulled out one after another. weapon.

"Wait a minute!" Zhao Wuxi paced forward and asked, "Who is this old woman and why is she kneeling here?"

Those who entered the county temple to sort out documents and search for danger quickly explained: "She is the mother of Zhongmou Zai and lives near the county temple. Zhongmou Zai asked the villain to wait for her to move out, but she was unwilling to leave... When asked why, she said that unless she saw the prince, she said; if she was forcibly taken out, she threatened to hit the wall and seek death."

Yang Hu reprimanded: "If she wants to die, she will die. What if the prince is in danger?"

Zhao Wuxi stopped Yanghu and walked a few more steps, only to see the old woman with silver hair, about sixty or seventy years old, with a wrinkled face, but her temperament was not bad, and her eyes were very bright.

When she heard someone coming, she raised her head, fixed her eyes on Zhao Wuxi, and asked aloud, "Dare to ask, but he is the son of the Zhao family?"

"It's the boy, but I'm used to living here and don't want to move out of the county temple? If I'm willing, I can let you stay in the same room." One of the habit that Zhao Wuxi developed when he returned to this era was to respect Elders, although there are certain cultural differences in different countries, all countries in the Chinese cultural circle cannot run away from a respect for the elderly, and the lord who respects the elderly is easy to earn the name of benevolence.

Besides, isn't this old 'woman' a ready-made hostage?

The old woman shook her head, and then said with a bow of her head: "No, my concubine is here, I just want to beg the prince to kill my child, don't get involved with me, a half-dead man. He rebelled against the Zhao family before and has nothing to do with the concubine..."

...

Zhao Wuxi was slightly startled, the old woman didn't hear the conversation between him and Yang Hu, but guessed that they had murderous intentions?

Yang Hu sneered behind him: "The mother can't teach the child, that's why he rebels. How can you say it has nothing to do with you?"

The Buddha's mother smiled and said: "Ugh, this gentleman must have suggested to the prince that he wants to kill my son and my people and stop reading. The concubine has done her duty in teaching her son. If he becomes like this, the responsibility should lie with the Zhao family."

"It was Ruzi who rebelled against the 'rebellion', why is the fault in the Zhao family?"

The Buddha's mother said, "The child is not arrogant when he is young, and he has no talent when he grows old. This is the fault of his parents who have taught him ineffectively. But my son has never neglected his studies when he was young. After the crown, he is quite famous in the county. The concubine raised him as a person, and the Zhao family chose him as the slaughter. Then he was allowed to be surrounded by Fan, Zhongxing, Zhi, and Handan without assistance. He could only turn his back on Zhao and serve Fan. So The Zhao clan has rebellious ministers, but I do not have a disobedient and unfilial son, his rebellion has nothing to do with me, so I should not die..."

Yang Hu was short of words, but Zhao Wuxi laughed and said: "What an articulate aunt, don't worry, I decided to let go of what happened before, your son. I still have great use, please stay in the county temple. , and teach me how you teach your son."

After waiting for that old woman to thank her for being so grateful, and after she stepped back tremblingly with the help of the vertical man, Zhao Wuxi sighed inwardly, "This old woman in Zhong Mou is really not bad, she is a strange 'woman', just because she is like this today. The wording of Fan Wei'er's request for forgiveness is enough to be included in "The Biography of the 'Wu'."

The deflated Yanghu didn't see it that way. He said angrily, "As expected, it was the 'tricky' long-tongued 'woman' who taught the betrayer."

Zhao Wuxi glanced at him, thinking that you are the same as Buddha. They are all traitorous ministers of the 'chaotic' state and capable ministers of governing the state. Isn't scolding him just scolding yourself?

Yanghu still insisted on killing the Buddha and thoroughly cleaning Zhongmu.

However, Zhao Wuxi finally rejected this suggestion, and instead ordered the Buddha's mother to be taken as a hostage, so as to make Zhong Mouzai, known as filial piety, not dare to act rashly.

He did not kill the Buddha, and he also had his own considerations.

As the mother of the Buddha said, the Buddha did not listen to Zhao's orders in this situation, and it did mean that he was forced by the situation. If Fan and Zhongxing were victorious, he would probably be happy to leave the Zhao's rule. But now that Erqing was about to perish, he didn't blush and returned to begging. It can be won.

In Zhao Wuxi's midline strategy, Zhongmou is an important part. The equipment and food here can supplement Zhao's army, and the population is an excellent soldier. He wants to maintain stability here, so that he has a strong staying power to go north to Handan and Bai people, and complete the strategic advance before winter.

Buddha's prestige in this city is very high, if he kills him outright, it will have a counter-productive effect, causing the people in the city to hate Zhao, which will have a negative impact on his control of Zhongmu and the expansion of his division in the future.

Rather than this, it would be better to seize his military power, keep his "sex" life, and move to another place as an official when the time is ripe, so that he can use his talents and prevent him from continuing to gain popular support here.

In addition to this, there is another reason. Zhao Wuxi remembers that Cao 'Cao' in later generations has done many times to recruit surrender, surrender and abandon his former hatred. In particular, Zhang Xiu, who surrendered and returned to rebellion, even killed his son and nephew, never killed him in his entire life. The reason is not to be merciful, but to use it as a horse to attract more enemies to surrender.

Wu Xie found that the situation he was facing now was very similar to Cao 'Cao' who fought in the Central Plains, and even worse in terms of righteousness. It was Zhi's reads;

Although the Handan clan is close to collapse, including Handan, there are still three counties that have not been captured, plus more than ten small towns. If they are attacked one by one, it will be time-consuming and laborious. But it is much easier to have Buddha Shao as an example to lure those counties into surrender~www.wuxiahere.com~ Buddha Shao did not disappoint Zhao Wuxi. After he made up his mind to return to Zhao, he sent Zhishi's messenger. I donated it to help the Zhao clan officials in charge of the city, and I did my best, although some places still left some strength.

After he learned what happened to his mother in the county temple, he came to the 'meat' again to bear Jing, kowtow again and again, and said, "Thank you for the virtue of tolerance, the little man is willing to be loyal to the Zhao family. Convicted and meritorious."

Zhao Wuxi's heart moved, and he said, "How do you commit crimes and make meritorious deeds?"

Buddha said: "Although Zhongmu went down, the Handan clan in the north of the Huan River died and still controlled three counties. Among them, the county chief of the Han clan was familiar with me, and he was very dissatisfied with the Zhongxing clan taking over Handan and establishing a new owner without authorization. I also want to belong to the Zhao clan for a long time, the villain is willing to be the forerunner of the prince and persuade him to sacrifice the city and surrender!"

Zhao Wuxi immediately asked someone to bring a map, but saw that the Han family was 200 miles north of Zhongmu, separated by two rivers, Huanshui and Zhangshui.

Sixty miles to the east of the Han family is the key point of the mid-line strategy, Handan!

If you can capture the Han clan, you will be able to get closer to Handan, and at the same time cut off the Zhi clan's way to support Handan...

Wu Xie slapped his palms and said, "Good! You quickly write a letter to the Han clan, persuading the Han clan chief to surrender, and Handan betrays Zhao. All the guilt is the responsibility of Handan Ji, and it has nothing to do with others. The Han clan chief can maintain his original position like you! "

The Buddha agreed to leave, and he joined the Zhao family, so he could avoid being crushed into powder, and naturally he had to pay the price. The price is that you can no longer decide everything by yourself, and all military powers have been taken over, and your mother has become a hostage. In the future, you must be very careful.

After he left, Zhao Wuxi was still looking at the map, his eyes were attracted by a place name north of Zhangshui, between Zhongmu and Han.

That place is called "Ye"... q
