Chapter 328: In this world, who are the people of Jin afraid of

This day is destined to be uneasy.

At noon, Xiang Rongcong returned with his face solemn.

Understanding the situation, Zhao Wu did not reveal the ultimate intention of the Jin army to Song State. Although he tried his best to comfort Xiang Rong, Jin State clearly showed a decisive attitude, which made Xiang Rong worried.

The inns where the envoys from various countries were still crowded. Xiang Rongcai returned to his yard, and You Ji from Zheng came to him.

The relationship between Zheng and Song was in the golden age. The people of Zheng did not dare to go to Zhao Wu to inquire about the news, so they had to find friends in Song. As soon as You Ji entered the door, he asked tightly: "Zuo Shi, what did you find out, what did Zhao Wu say?"

Xiang Rong asked back without answering: "What news do you have?"

"A division and three brigades were launched this morning. At present, the army of the Jin people is still moving south in a steady stream. In addition, the mobilization of the Jin people has begun to expand. I found out that all the Wei and Han people have been mobilized. Even Pudi and Jiangcheng, which are directly under their king, have been mobilized. Isn't this saying that the world is peaceful? Isn't it necessary to sign a covenant? Why are the Jin people so aggressive?"

Xiang Rong sighed: "One division is only one, okay. The Jin State Wu Guard Army is split. The only one standing division belonging to the Martial Guard Army is present. I believe this division is the one who goes south... Fortunately."

You Ji immediately questioned: "Where, I heard that the military system of Jin State was reformed last year, and each family had a certain number of standing troops. However, most of these standing troops were guarding the family territory of the ministers. The division mobilized by Jin State from the capital was south. If the remaining standing troops were gathered on the road, then the mobilization force of Jin State was more than one army?"

Xiang Rong replied weakly: "The leaders are Zhang Zhao and Qi Wu."

"Oh, it's these two boys, so I'm relieved. These two boys have never commanded the large army to fight together. They went south, probably to arrive at the oath platform in advance and prepare for the oath matter."

Xiang Rong added: "Zhang Zhao and Qi Wu will go to Xinzhi first, and gather together Zhiying (the name of the previous chapter is wrong, and it is mistakenly written as Zhishuo, which should be Zhiying), and then go to Song to pick up the deputy commander, and then, he will lead our Song coalition forces to Zheng State--You Zheng State will also send troops, and be led by Zhishuo, and head north together."

"Zhiying," You Ji pondered: "He has never commanded any major battles. Is there any concern about letting such a child come out?"

Xiang Rong reminded: "Zhiying grew up in Zhao's family, and learned the military tactics of his grandfather Zhiying, and learned the Zhao family's style. I heard that Zhiying is now in Xinzhi, as if Zhao's first rising again, and even learned the "White Horse Oath". While reclaiming wasteland, she also released slaves on a large scale. She also imitated Zhao's family to open workshops and build cities everywhere. The Lishe (commune) who studied martial arts was formed more dense than the forest, just like Zhao Wu's second."

You Ji pondered: "What is the Marshal's idea? Summoning our Zheng army, it seems that the Marshal doesn't care about our intermarriage with Chu. So, what is the specific order of the Marshal?"

Xiang Rong said worriedly: "I asked repeatedly, but I didn't get any specific explanation from the marshal. I only said that the Chu people were cunning and untrustworthy. Last time I signed a alliance, the Chu people were dressed in armor and prepared to attack. So this time we must be prepared and summoned the Song and Zheng coalition forces north to prevent them from taking office and defeating the alliance."

"It won't be that simple... The Jin people led the coalition this time Zhiying. Yes, he did not command any major battles, and he did look like he was well-read about military tactics. But after all, he had never commanded an army of more than one division. We were led by such a person. What if he was self-controlled, stubborn, but bold, and provoked the Chu people?

Alliance, what an important thing, leave it to a child - Hey, the marshal is old, he is supporting the next generation and preparing to hand over the shift."

Xiang Rong replied weakly: "No matter what, you and I have received help from Jin and obtained such a large amount of land. Now Jin requires us to send troops to help. Can we refuse?"

You Ji thought about it and gave an attribution: "This is the sequelae of intermarriage between Zheng and Chu. The Marshal supported our two countries. He originally planned that we could resist the Chu people, at least to resist the time when Jin sent troops. However, our Zheng suddenly intermarriage with the Chu people. The Marshal was worried that we were unstable, so he wanted to use this method to let our Zheng country express his attitude - we have sent troops to intercept the Chu people, so naturally we will not dare to get too close to the Chu people in the future."

He bowed to Rong: "I hope your idea is correct... but I always feel that the Jin people mobilized such a large scale, and would not just plan such a simple goal."

"Just think so," You Ji smiled and hinted: "The Zheng State army is not good at fighting, and I have never been so tempted. Therefore, even if our Zheng State sends troops, we will not really fight against the Chu people."

"There is only one battle in the State of Song," Xiang Rong replied: "Our State of Song has a firm position for more than a hundred years and never waver. If Zhiying decides to attack, our Song army will have the only one to follow us-this time we send 500 troops."

You Ji smiled: "Okay OK, okay, I won't stop you, but you can reveal what I mean to Zhiying: Let our Zheng army defend, if we let us attack the Chu people... please forgive us for going backwards."

"I understand!" Xiang Rong smiled: "You Zheng people are brave now, so it's good that you jump out, at least Zhiying won't misjudgment of his military strength."

The two had just finished their discussion, and before they could send news to the country, Lu State's uncle Sun Bao and Wei State Beigong Tuo came to visit together. Beigong Tuo said, "Two divisions are there, my people are sitting on the top of the city. The Jin people have gathered two divisions to go south, and there is also a baggage division about to set off."

Xiang Rong replied frankly: "This is the end - the Jin people set out in advance, and the remaining assemblers were going south with the marshal. The marshal would lead an army south."

Shusun Bao pinched his fingers and counted: "The State of Jin has an army in Chu; there is another army in Dai; in order to prevent Qin, Jin has at least one army left behind... In this way..."

Shusun Bao did not say the last words - in this way, there were a total of six armies in Jin State.

The emperor makes six armies - the only one who has six armies at the administrative level is the emperor.

However, even the most stubborn Lu people did not mean to accuse Jin this time, because Duke Wen of Jin had compiled six armies in the past. If you want to offend him, Duke Wen of Jin had offended him once more than a hundred years ago.

However, during the reign of Duke Wen of Jin, what kind of army was it? It was just a farmer. It gathered together during the slack farming period, trained, fought, and disbanded and returned home during the busy farming period. Now the State of Jin formed a standing army... In the past, the State of Jin created a "Thousand Cranes Country", which was already surprising enough. Finally, everyone was "Thousand Cranes Country", and the people of Jin began to play the "Six Armies" again-the six standing army.

Does this make people live?

It is said that the world is peaceful, why did the Jin people start to drag everyone's arms race again? "Always have military strength" means that many people are training without doing anything. The Jin people can support so many soldiers and train for many years. Who can afford to play in the four countries at present?

"This year's summer harvest in Hejian will be prosperous," Beigong Tuo slowly reminded.

Wei Guo, who has an enclave in Hejian, knows the development status of the land best. After a leisurely sentence, Shusun Bao immediately understood: "The Jin people have escaped from the famine. The Jin people can already stand up from the famine?!"

Beigongtuo added: "After the Qi National Day Feng Rebellion, tens of thousands of Qing clans chose to live in Hejian. Hejian was full of manpower and no longer needed to immigrate. At the beginning of this spring, the Zhao family set up a forest-like water truck along the river bank, and the rice in Hejian was harvested, so Jin State would not worry about food shortages from now on.

In addition, after the Wei family returned, many tribes of Di claimed that they were also separated, and Dongjin was sufficiently capable. In addition, Qi people were hired in large quantities last year, so after knowing the path, Qi people carried small sacks and walked to Dongjin to buy fish salt from Dongjin, and turned to Qi for sale. Qi's salt monopoly policy was shaky, and Dongjin earned money, and the valley was filled with copper coins."

Qi Lu was frightened by Qi. The State of Qi was unwell. Lu was overjoyed when he heard this, but Shu Sun Bao still had to make a gesture. He stamped his feet and said, "Guanzi managed Qi and established Qi's national policy. Hundreds of years have passed. Everyone in Guanzi's country attaches importance to business. Now that the people of Qi know the path of salt smuggling, it will be difficult to ban it. Unfortunately, the country of Qi has accumulated hundreds of years, and it will be emptied by the people of Jin."

Beigong Tuo had something to say, and he continued: "It is said that at the beginning of the year, the Zhao people had already discovered gold, silver, copper, iron and lead ore, as well as lime and coal mines in the mountains of Dai Kingdom. The Hejian was rich in grain, and the meritorious warriors who had newly enfeoffed Dai Kingdom were not in a hurry to reclaim land. Their main energy was to dig local minerals."

You Ji took a breath of air conditioning: "Now, there is money, food, and countless gold, silver, copper and iron. No wonder the Jin people immediately started playing the 'Six Army' after destroying the dynasty - they can afford it!"

Beigong Tuo also said: "After generations accumulated over a hundred years, they were all moved back to Jindu by Wuzi. Now the civil ships through Hebi are flowing endlessly, surging into the river. They are all transporting the trophy of the land. Wuzi did not leave a single money for the newly enfeoffed warriors, and they rewarded the mountain forests Heze... Oh, contracting. It is said that the local warriors were unable to mine the mountain forests and minerals, so they contracted the mountain forests to merchants. They did not do anything, but just took the money and grains prepaid by the merchants to train the warriors to defend their territory."

"Hey, the Chu people are going to suffer," Xiang Rong patted his thigh and sighed: "As far as I know, the Chu State has not been able to recover since the last war. The Jin people's warships rushed to the river (Yangtze River). The business routes of the Chu State in the past are now under the eyes of the Jin people. Some Chu merchants even paid taxes to the Jin people in exchange for protection. The farmers of Chu State often dared not go to the ground, fearing that they would be secretly plundered by the Jin people.

In addition, in the southeast of Chu State, the Wu people were increasingly unable to suppress it. Half of the Chu army's military force was pressing against the Wu State's border and could not move. At this time, the Chu people still made tough stances, probably because they were fierce on the inside, and they were strong on the outside and fought on the inside... Now, I feel relieved."

"Don't worry?" Xiang Rong's words aroused everyone's curiosity and everyone inquired.

Xiang Rong told others about Zhao Wu's plan to send troops one by one, and then turned to Zheng State: "Uncle Zi (You Ji), maybe Zheng State should choose again - the people of Chu have no trust and cannot rely on it. The people of Jin are generous and Wu Zi treats people sincerely. Compared with the people of Chu's 'unqualified', following the people of Jin seems to be a better choice."

You Jiyi gritted his teeth: "I'll send news to the country-Zheng State will act side by side with Song State."

Shu Sun Bao touched his chin and fell into deep thought: "Zhao Wu's temperament... I heard that the Chu people have many requests. This war-breaking meeting is Zhao Wu's hard work. The Chu people are so rogue, relying on Zhao Wu's temper... Everyone, be prepared for battle. Guards are indispensable around your monarchs."

Shusun Bao's words did not attract everyone's attention. You Ji's disapproval of them represented the voice of most people: "The shamelessness of the Chu people is always at the bottom of the bottom line. Although they planned to turn their promises and secretly attacked them when they signed a covenant, but now the swearing platform has been repaired and all the princes of the countries have begun to set off. Will the Chu people intend to attack in front of the people of the world? If that is the case, are the Chu people still considered humans?"

The four second-class powers hid in the Song State’s posthouse to discuss, and the Chu State’s envoy was ignored. At noon, the Chu State’s envoy jumped around, shuttled back and forth but could not find the person who had heard the news. He went straight to the Zhao Mansion and asked to see Zhao Wu.

Qi Lin's father stood at the door of Zhao Wu's mansion and met Zi Dang. He smiled steadily, looking like a man of Chu: "The ruler went to the palace city and met the widow. Now the Zhao mansion is empty. The young master of Zhao went to Zhaocheng this morning, and only the Wu Zhao family (Lan'er) was left in the mansion. Is the Chu envoy planning to meet Wu Zhao family?"

Zidang endured it and replied: "Jin State also admitted that Chu State is a great country that is comparable to Jin State. However, this time I came to Jin State for an envoy, and I only talked to the people below and never saw the marshal. I am the chief magistrate of Chu State, and I should have the same rank as Wuzi. Why didn't Wuzi meet me?"

Qi Lin's father was confident: "We agreed to the request of the Chu envoy. There is nothing to talk about with you. Now the governor goes to the palace to meet the widow and finalize the final plan... If there is nothing else, the Chu envoy will go back and prepare, and we will set off to go south immediately and join the world."

Zidang's uncontrollable anger surged up and blurted out: "I saw the Jin army heading south, yes, I saw it with my own eyes. Our alliance was to stop the war. Why did Jin mobilize heavily? Will the ruler not explain to me this incident?"

Qi Lin's father was still calm: "Zheng State, our allies, the Chu army entered Zheng State, how did he explain to us?"

Zidang defended: "Is the widowed king who entered Zheng to seek employment and intermarriage? Is this kind of thing necessary to be explained to Jin State? Jin and Chu are equal in status, so we do not need to seek the consent of Jin State in advance for intermarriage."

Qi Lin's father nodded: "The status of Jin and Chu is equal - my army that went south in advance was to pick up the deputy commander, and there is no need to ask the Chu State for such a matter."

Zidang asked: "Are you just taking back your deputy coach?"

"Maybe, there are some other things, such as checking the Punishi Station, setting up the venue, etc. - there is no need to seek the consent of Chu State first."

Zidang breathed: "The State of Jin is still mobilizing. I saw at least three divisions gathered in the military camp. How many troops are the marshal planning to lead to the south?"

"The State of Chu entered Zheng and brought at least two armies... maybe two and a half armies, so the ruling army planned to lead at least the same force as the State of Chu to move south - Jin and Chu have the same status."

Isn't this bullying?

Chu is now alone, and its allies have almost become meat in their mouths, so now it has no allies, only vassal states. The Chu people just asked to prohibit low-ranking vassal states from getting involved at the military conference. In this way, Jin called friends and brought a large number of allies in a mighty way. Although the troops of Jin and Chu were equal, if the troops of Jin and the allies were included, wouldn’t the Chu people have a bit of strength?

Although it was a meeting of military militia, if the Chu people succeeded in a sneak attack, would the allies of Jin come to see the scenery?

"Lu State--" When talking about the allied states, Zidang remembered the most fierce small country under Yingdu City. Chu State has now handled Zheng State, and Song State must not dare to start a war against Chu State alone. But it is hard to say that Lu State. When this iron-core ally of Jin State fought against Qi State for his own country, he was not as fierce and desperate as fighting for Jin State.

"The affairs of Lu State are over," Qi Lin's father interrupted Zi Dang's words: "Lu State is a descendant of Duke Zhou, and Zhou rituals were formulated by Duke Zhou. All the etiquette and laws in the world are in Lu. How can such a great ceremony as a vassal state of Lu? Whose vassal state is it? On the contrary, our Jin State dare not take responsibility. If it were not our Jin State, then please find a sect leader state recognized by the Lu people for Lu State!"

Zidang took a few consecutive breaths and calmly persuaded him: "It was originally a military conference, why did Jin lead so many troops? Reduce it a little!"

Qi Lin's father continued to smile: "It's just a matter of seeking a position comparable to that of Chu, so the ruling ruling led an equal army to... Well, since it's the Military Conference, what are the people of Chu worried about?"

Zidang was speechless.

After thinking about it, Zidang asked again: "Have the procedure been decided? Will the monarch of your country attend the conference?"

Qi Lin's father replied lightly: "The widow is in poor health and cannot travel far away, so he decided to send his favorite ministers. The leader of the Wu Palace, King Le, brought the widow's guard, took the widow's flag, and attended the conference."

Zidang was furious: "In order to form an alliance, I have no choice but to travel thousands of miles to Song State. If the king of Jin does not come out, who will we all form an alliance with? Jin and Chu are equal in status, and we have dispatched the monarch, and the monarch of Jin State must attend the meeting."

The Chu people are now hard-working, and they are not humble to sign the "Association Under the City". When the alliance was signed, the Chu people did not pursue Zhao Wu's signature on behalf of Duke Ping of Jin, but now they are petty about the details and just want to cause trouble.

Qi Lin's father paused word by word and replied: "It seems that the people of Chu don't want to stop the war... It doesn't matter. Our army is ready to go. Now the princes of all countries are following in the Tao. Let us go south to hunt."

In Jin State, blackface has always been the best for his subordinates, and Zhao Wu just pretends to be honest.

Facing the pressing of Chu State, Zhao Wu was already impatient. Qi Lin's father jumped out as a black face this time - you Chu people are promising now, don't you plan to stop the war? Well, our army has already set off for you, and Duke Ling of Chu is already surrounded by us. Now even if you send the news, you cannot save the fate of the Chu army being surrounded. So I will just slap with you.

Fight, who are the people of Jin in this world now?
