After completing the deployment to the Eastern Front of the State of Lu, Zhao Wuxi's gaze moved to the south of the map.

He said: "The Zhao clan is under siege, and now there are not only three fronts, east, west, and middle, but even a southern front. After the Marquis of Jin and Zhibo announced that we were the chief culprit of treason, we were almost human for a while. People were shouting and beating, and even Cheng Zhou was involved..."

It turned out that the two emperors who now control the Zhou royal family's affairs are the Liu family and the Shan family. They were the victors of the rebellion of the prince dynasty more than ten years ago. The emperor was Qingshiyuegong. Among them, Liugong and Fan were relatives by marriage, and Shangong had a good relationship with Zhisong, who had been in charge of royal affairs for a long time.

In addition, the Zhou royal family has always relied on the support of the Jin State to maintain it to this day, either by being forced or out of inertia, so it is natural to stand on the same front with the Jin State official. Therefore, in the eighth and ninth month, Zhou Tianzi blatantly announced that the following Zhao clan committed crimes, disrespecting the monarch, ruling, rebelling for Jin, and at the same time being the enemy of the emperor, calling on all the princes of the world to attack him!

Of course, Zhao Wuxi knew that behind this awe-inspiring righteousness, there are also factors that the Shan and Liu families coveted the Zhao family's Nanyang land. This place used to belong to the Zhou royal family for a long time in the past, and it was only later that it was slowly invaded by the Jin state.

Everyone was a little distressed when DEBUFF was conquered by the emperor, but Yang Hu, who was most disapproving of the traditional system of honor and inferiority, curled his lips contemptuously.

He said coldly: "The Zhou family has declined, King Huan's arrow was on his shoulder, King Xiang was invaded by Rong Di and hunted in Heyang. During the rebellion of the prince's dynasty, there was even a joke of two emperors attacking each other. Damaged. Now the Zhou family is not even as good as a prince, only equivalent to the earlier Handan clan. With a population of 200,000 to 300,000 soldiers and nearly 10,000 soldiers, they can't even gather an army, let alone pose a threat to the Zhao clan."

Xiang Lu suggested a little worriedly: "That said. But after all, the Son of Heaven occupies the righteousness, and now standing on the opposite side of us, in terms of public opinion among the princes, it is very unfavorable to the Zhao family."

However, Yang Hu disagreed: "What's the matter? Ruzi is still too young, and Zhou Shi's call is like an ancient ritual vessel. It is already rusted, but he wants to maintain the original ritual system, and makes a sound on it to show himself. In fact, since the Battle of Wuge, it has long been unable to play a role on the battlefield, the world has not listened to the orders of the emperor for a long time, the situation created by the military struggle is good or bad, how can he be able to reverse it with a single letter here!"

Wu Xie nodded, he was right, in Zhao's alliance. The Song State had never been very obedient to Zhou's orders, and the Lu State had also been estranged from Zhou. In the past two hundred years, the number of times that the Marquis of Lu had seen the Emperor was not as good as that of the Marquis of Jin. Therefore, the pressure of public opinion for this kind of emperor's expedition is not too great, but it just gives the surrounding countries a good excuse to "respect the royal family but not the ministers".

Yang Hu suddenly got up and asked for orders: "There is only a big river between Chengzhou Wangcheng and Wenxian County, and Mengjin North Ferry Port is also under Zhao's control. Why don't the ministers sneak a group of people across the river to attack and rob them. Son of Heaven, at that time the general will hold the Son of Heaven in order to make the princes. The so-called righteousness of Zhi Bo will completely become an empty letter!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked, especially those people of Lu who subconsciously still regarded the emperor as supreme. Someone even blurted out: "How can you be so disrespectful to the Son of Heaven!?"

Zhao Wuxi also shook his head, but the reason for denying this plan was not because he was afraid of the emperor's majesty and dignity, but simply...

"No hurry, the time has not come."

He continued: "Your plan is too small, there are few people all over the place, and the walls of the king's city are deep and thick. It's not easy to succeed. And it's easy to provoke public anger. degree."

"Send someone to attack the Shan family north of Dahe, and then confiscate the scattered territories and fields of the royal family officials in Hanoi. The Zhou royal family has always been cowardly. As long as they taste the pain, they should know where to turn. It's not too late to use this tactic again."

While everyone was sighing and sighing, Zhao Wuxi's finger pointed to the east of Zhou Cheng: "The real enemy on the southern front is here. In July and August, when the people of Zheng State had already taken Zhao's siege to Chaoge and were determined to march north, they were with him. Together, the people of Wei captured the Linyan Ferry, and Zhao's direct connection with Lu and Song was cut off again!"

…

"The State of Zheng sent troops eastward and cooperated with the people of Wei State to recover Linyan. At that time, our army was besieging Chaoge and then heading north to Handan, so we only had time to defend along the river."

"They also occupied the gap with the Song Kingdom, and established six cities and towns to defend, with Zheng people on the side, the Song people can only barely hold Punan and control the situation of the Sishang princes, but they cannot achieve the north to help Zhao. At most, one division can be sent into Lu to assist in defense..."

"This is the situation of what the general calls the 'Southern Front'!"

Wu Jing stayed in the garrison along the Dahe River after crossing the river. The task that Zhao Wuxi gave him was to pay attention to the situation on the southern front.

After looking at the four fronts, east, west, north and south, Zhao Guangde couldn't help but sigh:

"The Zhao family is less than a thousand li from east to west, and has no more than 60,000 soldiers. The south is in the Zhengjing, the west is in the Zhijing, the north is in the Zhongxingjing, and the east is in the Qijing. The soldiers are guarding the four directions. A million stones. If Zhongxing attacked my north, Zhishi attacked my west, Qiwei attacked my east, and Zheng Guo attacked my south... This is really a situation where you will be surrounded by enemies..."

"But the enemy's encirclement network is not strictly kept secret. Since they are unable to attack me in the west and can't take care of themselves in the north, then we can dispatch soldiers, open the situation from the east and south, and break through this encirclement network!"

Zhao Wuxi once again cheered the retainers: "The reason why I brought troops back to Chaoge this time is to solve the Weiguo problem. Since I attacked Zhenyi five years ago, Weiguo has been lying between the east and west Zhaos. It's time to completely remove the obstacles of the Qi army! Isn't the Qi country going to attack Lu in the spring next year? We also launch an offensive against the Wei country, so that the Qi army's flanks are completely exposed to the attack. Must be forced to fight!"

He drew his sword, waved his hand, and pinned the sword to the position of Weiguo on the map. The tip of the sword was wedged into the case, and the body and hilt of the sword were shaking slightly.

"The ministers are the sharp swords of the lord, and whatever the generals point to, is invincible!"

After the glorious victory in the past six months, the retainers are still full of confidence in Zhao's future, and they all knelt down on one knee to salute Wu Shi.

In the past few years of combat and study, Wu Jing, who has already understood the strategy, reminded cautiously: "What about the Zheng Kingdom? Population, the remaining soldiers are no more than 10,000 soldiers, and with the Prince of Wei on our side, it is not difficult to defeat the Wei, but the trouble is Zheng. People have almost ten victories in ten battles, and when they attack the Wei Guo clan, they must not only beware of the Qi country Chen clan to the north, but also be careful of them..."

Zhao Wuxi had already planned, he asked everyone to get up, and then said to Wu Jing: "Most merchants only focus on immediate interests, and seek to avoid disadvantages. Zheng Guo attaches great importance to business, and Zheng Ren also has a businessman's temperament, and the most The person who is suitable for dealing with them is, of course, Zigong, a giant who can make thousands of gold rich! He is known for his diplomatic speech, and his words can bring the dead back to life. He is now in Xinzheng!"

…

At the same time, outside the east gate of Xinzheng, the capital of Zheng State, the doctor and businessman of Zheng State, Xian Bofu, stood beside the Weishui with his wide sleeves down, and smiled and looked at the radiant man, dressed in luxurious clothes without losing his style. The literati stepped on the canoes and crossed this way.

After he just stepped on the hard shore, Uncle Xian quickly walked over with the guard and asked loudly, "Isn't this Zigong? What kind of wind is blowing you here, it's Langya The salty east wind on the seashore? Or the north wind with the stench of beast leather in the mountains and forests of Taiyuan? Could it be the furnace wind from Zhendi with a heat wave?"

Duanmuci also recognized the person who came to him, his former partner and competitor in the business of goods, and Uncle Xian who played together in Taoqiu's extravagant place. He is now an official businessman and a teacher of Xinzheng Chu.

"Doctor Xian is wrong. Although I came to Xinzheng this time to do business, I didn't come to sell sea salt, nor did I come to sell leather and porcelain."

"So what to buy and what to sell?"

Zigong didn't answer first, but turned back to look at the style of the Weishui, and said in his mouth: "Beyond Wei, let's be happy. Weishi and the girl, Yiqi, gave him a spoonful of medicine... This time, I came with a spoon of goodwill, and I wanted to give it to a woman to pursue a beautiful woman for my lord!"
