Spring and Autumn I Am King

"Is this the largest alliance meeting in the Central Plains?" After coming out of the hall of discussion, Le Mixed with excessive alcohol and big bags wiped his sweat, straightened the crown on his head, and asked Zigong next to him. Lewen novel w-w-w.lwxs520.c-o-m.

"No." Zigong's attitude was respectful. After the republic of the Cao Kingdom, apart from the only guards who maintained law and order, the armed forces have been eliminated. In order to survive among Song, Lu, and Wei, in addition to relying on Zhao's back and striving to get along with the princes on an equal footing, he should try to be as modest and respectful as possible when interacting with each other.

It is clear to everyone that Song Guo was in power, Le Miao was inexperienced and did not know the history of the classics. Zi Gong explained patiently: "Seventeen years ago, when Fan Xianzi was in charge of Jin for just three years, he responded to Cai's sincerity. Request, convene the feudal lords, join forces to attack Chu State. In the third month of spring, Jin, Song, Lu, Cai, Wei, Chen, Zheng, Xu, Cao, Ju, Zhu, Dun, Hu, Teng, Xue, Qi, Xiaozhu The monarchs of 17 countries, plus the national summer of Qi, a total of 18 representatives, gathered in Zhaoling, and Zhou Tianzi's minister Liu Wengong also came in person. This is the biggest meeting after King Ping moved east."

"So that's the case, so to speak, the Taoqiu meeting attended by Song, Lu, Wei, Zou, Cao, Ju, Teng, and Xue Baguo this time is nothing compared to the previous Great Alliance Meetings, let alone In the future of Yan and Zhongshan, the messenger of the emperor went directly to Yecheng."

Failing to surpass his predecessors, Le Mi was a little disillusioned, but Zi Gong's respect made him feel that Cao Guoyue presided over the Eight Nations League meeting on his behalf, and discussed how to help Zhao's actions. After all, it came from Zhao Wuxi's order, and Zigong's neutral attitude and rich experience also made him the best person to coordinate the mobilization of soldiers and materials from various countries.

Unfortunately, not everyone thinks so.

"This alliance should be held in Wei or Lu. How can the merchants like Cao be coordinated?" Zhao Yi, who came out later, stared at Zigong's back in front and complained to Zhao Guangde of the same clan.

The two of them, thanks to Zhao Wuxi's blessing, jumped from a doctor to become the head of a country, and now they are equivalent to the heads of Wei and Zou, and it is the time when they are in high spirits. Especially Zhao Yi, Wei Guo was not affected much by last year's drought and locust plague. Wei land is fertile and densely populated. As long as the rulers do not work too hard and let the people have a good spring and autumn harvest, it only took a year for Wei's country The situation has eased a lot, and commercial trade is gradually recovering. This is also thanks to the opening of the Wei Canal and Zhao Wuxi, who has reduced the blackmail for his own sake.

So Zhao Yi was very ambitious, and he had the wish to govern Weiguo well and let Chaoge replace Taoqiu as the new Central Plains trade center. It is a pity that Taoqiu did not lose out and began to dig a "deep ditch". In terms of commerce and trade, the competition between the two cities was fierce.

Therefore, Zhao Yi did not like the people of the state of Cao, not to mention that the system of the state of Cao was unique in the Central Plains. If it were not for Zhao Wuxi's protection, allowing the existence of this heretical republic would have been destroyed by the neighboring countries long ago!

"It's for the convenience of the people of Song. After all, Lu and Song Dang are the main forces in the attack on Qi and Zheng." Zhao Guangde guessed.

Zhao Guangde and Zigong have always had a good relationship. The two met when Zhao Wuxi left Jin more than ten years ago. After so many years, Zigong managed Taoqiu in an orderly manner, and the wealth created for Zhao's forces is innumerable. Zhao Guangde has an industry in Taoqiu, and after the canal connecting Taoqiu and Sishui is dug, Zoudi, who is in power, will also benefit from it. Therefore, Zhao Yi's complaints are catered to in his mouth, but he disagrees in his heart.

However, he must stand with Zhao Yi on the surface, because in the countries participating in the Taoqiu meeting this time, Lu, Wei and Zou are called princes, but they are actually counties under the jurisdiction of Zhao's branch, and Zhao Wuxi is the same as Zhao Wuxi. The relationship is both prosperous and both prosperous and damaged. Naturally, it is necessary to give full support. Therefore, they need to unite and make a gesture of defending the Zhao family.

After complaining, the two stopped together and waited for their nephew, Zhao Cao, who came out later. He was ten years old. Although his body still couldn't support Qing Shi's clothes, his manners became more and more decent. Although he spoke at the alliance meeting Few, but every word can be done without rudeness. The people of Lu are used to having such a weak general.

Zhao Yi, Zhao Guangde, and Zhao Guangde are very clear about their positioning. Zhao Wuxi placed them in Wei and Zou, just as the left and right flanks of defending the country of Lu, which is the root of Zhao Wuxi in the east.

In the upcoming battle, compared to Wei and Zou, who had just recovered from the brink of destruction, the Lu country was the main force on the Eastern battlefield.

In addition, the state of Song is no less powerful than the state of Lu, and the state of Cao, who lives in the world, can fully coordinate materials. The two countries also have a positive attitude towards the war. Zigong has been a minister of the Zhao family for a long time, and now he is also the money bag of Zhao Wuxi. Needless to say; in the Song Dynasty, the Le family, as the in-law of the Zhao family, was repeatedly arrested by Zhao Wuxi. It is natural for him to take action when he encounters a war, not to mention that the one who provokes the Zhao family this time is Song's sworn enemy, Zheng Guo.

These are the five countries that are qualified to speak at this alliance meeting, and the rest of the three countries, Ju, Teng, and Xue, are just making up the number of people.

Although there are many contradictions between the eight countries, after the overriding Zhao Clan gave an order, they all began to prepare to enter a state of war and did not dare to refuse.

They vowed to establish an alliance in Taoqiu. In addition to these eight countries, there were also Yan Kingdom and Zhongshan Kingdom that Lu Yuan could not reach in time, and Zhou Shiqing who did not want to come to Taoqiu and went directly to Yecheng, all joined alliance. Counting the "Jin State" as the main alliance, the twelve parties are arranged in the order of Yan, Zhongshan, Jin, Wei, Lu, Cao, and Song, and they are roughly distributed in the north and south, so they are opposite to the "connection and horizontal" of the four countries, and are called "coupling". vertical"!

...

"The Twelve Kingdoms are united. Among them, the Son of Heaven, under the pressure of the Zhao clan, sent Duke Shan to Yecheng to express his support in person. In terms of momentum, it's bigger than the Four Kingdoms.

Zhao's courtiers were very excited, and they had a feeling of winning the battle before it was even fought.

In order to despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically, Zhao Wuxi was not too excited about the huge ally Zigong was entangled for him outside. Because to tell the truth, except for Lu Song, they are basically dragging their legs and being unreliable. In the final analysis, allies can only play a restraining role. If you want to win, you still have to rely on yourself.

Since last winter, Zhao Wuxi has been sitting in Tongjiao, letting Tian Ben attack Jiangdu by surprise and take it down, grabbing the first opportunity. This also made Han feel that the Zhao family had a better chance of winning. In addition, Zhao Wuxi gave the Han family's promise to get Anyi and Yanchi after the war, and their feet stood firmly on Zhao's side. After all, when Qin, Wei, and Zheng attacked, Han's territory was the first to bear the brunt, and they had to rely on strong aid to defend against the enemy outside the country.

After the two dramatic alliances of "Lianheng" and "Hezong" were established, the war in the Central Plains was imminent. He was in Tongjiao, but the news network was spread thousands of miles away. Zhao Wuxi was busy with deploying troops in early January. When the generals were dispatched, before the war, they conducted a lot of "temple calculations" with their retainers and staff.

The so-called temple calculation is to do strategic planning and comparison, as Sun Wu said: "If the temple is a winner without a battle, it will be considered a lot; if a temple is not defeated without a battle, it should be considered as a small amount." Victory, little calculation is invincible, not to mention that there is no pre-war plan at all, temple calculation is the beginning of the victory or defeat of the war.

After doing this, everyone found that the Zhao clan had an advantage. Once the spring ploughing was over, the counties together would be able to recruit 150,000 troops. Two hundred thousand!

Even if they were all rabble, they were more numerous than the Zhao family.

However, more than a dozen of Zhao's "coupling" allies, as well as the Han family, can also make up nearly 200,000 soldiers.

Of course, this is the number of people that can be recruited, and those who can really go to the front line will basically have to give a discount.

In general, the projected fronts are still divided into three: the western front, the southern front, and the eastern front.

"The east line is the state of Qi, and the state of Qi is the first to advocate continuous and horizontal, and must be severely punished. Qi is surrounded by Yan, Zhongshan, Zhao's Hejian County, Wei State, Lu State, and Ju State. The Zhuqing clan is eyeing the tigers. If all the above allies can join the war, this front will continue to advance towards Qi. After the Qi has suffered losses in the past few years, it can recruit no more than 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers. The Zhao clan has 30,000 soldiers, plus With the cooperation of our allies, the 100,000-strong army will attack from the five routes of Hejian, Taishan, Wei, Yan, and Langya, and the Qi people will inevitably be overwhelmed and unable to respond to their allies, so there is no need to worry about the Eastern Front."

"The southern front is mainly Zheng Guo, Zheng Guo has three armies, and the fighting strength is strong enough to threaten the security of Hanoi and Han. But as long as Song Guo sends half of its troops to attack, Zheng Guo people will be tied in place, and there is no way to get out."

"The main battlefields on the western front are Hedong, Hexi and Hewai. Now the Qin army has entered Jinhedong under the guidance of the Wei clan. A total of 80,000 people. It is impossible for all 80,000 people to enter Hedong. Therefore, the Qin and Wei coalition forces in Hedong are at most 50,000, and the remaining 30,000 are either to guard against Shangjun, or to cooperate with the Zheng army to attack Hanshihe, or as a reserve to meet the enemy in Hedong. "

After the advisors finished analyzing the theoretical situation and chance of victory, Zhao Wuxi pondered for a moment and said, "Therefore, the Zhao family wants to fight three wars at the same time."

This is basically the same as the battle of Liuqing. The difference is that at that time, the Zhao family was the weaker party who demolished the east wall to make up for the west wall. This time, they have the advantage. Zhao Wuxi can sit firmly on the bronze scorpion and dispatch troops. will defeat the enemy one by one.

But there must be one or two main directions of attack.

After thinking for a moment, he made a decision: "On the east line, let Hejian and Lu, Yan, Zhongshan, etc. take the initiative to attack~www.wuxiaspot.com~ so that the people of Qi can't even have time to plough the spring; on the south line, ask the people of Song to contribute to hold Zheng down. As for the western front, in the first month, rely on Xinjiang to defend the offensive of Qin and Wei, and at the same time lure the Qin people to continuously increase their troops in the east of the river until the main force has crossed the river. Hedong launched a counter-offensive, and the east and the west blossomed at the same time with 100,000 troops! As long as the Wei family is destroyed and Qin Qi is defeated, we will win this battle."

After he finished speaking, Zhao Wuxi glanced at the excited crowd, then looked back at Sun Wu, who was watching the entire process, but said nothing, and asked, "Wuzi, is there anything I'm missing?"

Sun Wu was invited to Tongliang by Zhao Wuxi because there are many hot springs here, and more bubbles are good for his health. After arriving, he will naturally be invited by Zhao Wuxi to listen to the strategic layout, but Sun Wu usually does not participate, just sits Silently listening on the table, only Zhao Wuxi would say a few words after asking repeatedly. This old man always cherishes words like gold.

However, Sun Wu said slowly: "Shangqing has already done his best, and then he has done his best. However, the so-called temple calculation always considers the best situation of his own side, but there is only one thing that has been forgotten."

He stretched out a finger and said, "The battle situation is unpredictable, and there will always be surprises!"
