In the northern camp, Shang Wuji raised his hand and rejected the expectations of the officers in the camp who were eager for a battle. He said with a smile: "The Chu country is in chaos, the Chu country is in chaos. At this time, the people of the three gates are in panic, and the Chu country is in chaos."
The central army of Guoling Division will be defeated without attacking, but the two armies on the left and right as well as the defenders of the large tunnel are present, so we cannot push too hard."
"But, my lord is still in Yingdu..."
"No problem!"
Shang Wuji's eyes were determined, "You must believe in my lord!"
"yes!"
This is not a miracle, but the brave men and the captains of the new righteous soldiers have great confidence in Li Jie.
In particular, the main force of the Crocodile People is on the southern front. Even if the Chu State is united and some people can even imitate King Wu Wei's "United as One", they are only protecting themselves and cannot do anything to Li Jie.
The people who followed Li Jie south this time were originally crocodile people. In addition, the Chu State's rear area was empty, and there was no armed force that could threaten Li Jie.
There are only a few that are worth mentioning, probably only the "Huan Lie Division" in Yingdu. The shogunate officers in front of Shang Wuji are worried about the "Huan Lie Division" in Yingdu, Chu State.
Because when fighting a defensive war, according to the Chu State system, the "Huan Lie Division" can be mobilized at any time to turn the "Huan Lie Division" that has been dissatisfied for a long time into a full complement or even oversubscription.
The shogunate knew something about Xiang Ba, the chief of the "Huan Lie Division". The officers in Huaizhong City all knew that this guy was a senior official and that he was one of the few people in Chu who was loyal to both the Queen Mother and the King of Chu.
For such a person, as the "Yin of the Huan Lie", as long as he is willing to mobilize, recruit strong men into the "Division of the Huan Lie", and then fight to defend the capital of Ying, it is not difficult at all.
However, seeing that Shang Wuji was not worried about Xiang Ba, the shogunate officers could only suppress it for the time being, no matter how much they had other ideas.
On the third day after the Chu State's Ling Division's middle army self-destructed, soldiers and civilians of the Chu State's Ling Division appeared near the capital of Ying, who fled southward in a panic. After these young men returned, they told the story of the self-destruction on the front line. In just one day, Ying
At least one-third of the troops and compatriots who originally stayed behind have fled.
From day to night, the four gates of Yingdu were opened, and residents were everywhere fleeing in embarrassment.
The defenders on the city wall were determined to stop them, but they were not very determined. In some corners of the city wall, Chu troops even used baskets to hoist their relatives out.
The reason why the Chu army dared to do this was not because they were not afraid of Li Jie, but because Li Jie had fled the capital of Ying and had no intention of attacking.
As time went by, a tacit understanding was formed. The Huai army would just hang out by the Yangshui River. Those who organized trench digging continued to dig trenches, and those who conducted daily training continued to drill. There was even a Ying capital outside the Huai River position.
A local from Nagisa Palace came to do some small business.
This situation made Sha Dong, who organized troops to continue supervising the construction of fortifications, very depressed. In his opinion, it was a pity that these people had fled.
Yingdu is much larger than Gusu. If Yingdu is captured and looted, what a staggering wealth it will be.
However, Li Jie remained unmoved and continued to allow those powerful people from Chu State who had fiefdoms and families in other places to escape.
Even Quanyi doctor Dou Huang was almost moved and ran away.
Previously, he served as an envoy and went to Zhu Palace to seek peace.
What Li Jie brought back to the capital of Ying was Li Jie's condition that the Chu State cede all the land east of the Han River. At the same time, the Chu State would surrender to the king, and the Chu State's army should not exceed twenty troops, that is, 50,000 people;
The state is not allowed to form a naval force, and it is not allowed to retain ships of more than 500 stone in any form; the state of Chu declares vassalage to the state of Wu...
As long as he agrees to these conditions, the King of Chu can return to the capital of Ying in full and continue to be the king of Chu.
As for the Queen Mother Zhao, President Li said that since the Chu State hated her so much, he would discipline her on her behalf and discipline her severely. If the harsh discipline didn't work, he would discipline her in a simple and profound way. She would definitely make her realize her mistakes and correct them.
After President Li's little request was brought back to Yingdu by the doctor, Dou Huang was directly beaten as a "traitor" and was almost beaten to death by random punches in the main hall.
At this time, Dou Huang also understood that these beasts were just taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. Punch him twice to vent their anger. That would be quite satisfying, wouldn't it?
Seeing that these wastes failed to accomplish anything but failed, the doctor at the place also figured it out. The possibility of relying on these beasts to make a comeback was basically zero.
Moreover, Douhuang boldly guessed that Li Jie might have an undercover agent in Yingdu, and his level was very high.
The object of Dou Huang's suspicion is Xiang Ba, the "Yin of the Ring" who doesn't care about anything.
As the powerful people in Yingdu who had fiefdoms in other places gradually ran away, Douhuang finally determined with full confidence that the biggest traitor in Yingdu should be Xiang Ba, the current nominal supreme commander in the battle to defend Yingdu.
If he had seen through it before, maybe Dou Huang would take the opportunity to kill Xiang Ba and then seize the command.
But now, he didn't do that.
Unlike those powerful figures outside the fiefdom, he actually did the opposite, ordered people to return to Quanyi, and asked all the elites of the tribe to move to Yingdu, regardless of men, women, old and young.
It's not that Emperor Dou is crazy, but that the doctor there has carefully analyzed the current situation.
First of all, he concluded that the Chu State would have to wait for reinforcements, which would only take a month or two. This was still the best situation, because there were very few countries that had the courage to confront Li Jiegang.
And such a country must not have a bad relationship with the Chu State, which is also very rare.
If nothing else goes wrong, there may be reinforcements, but maybe they won’t be able to come before this winter. When will the ice and snow melt next year?
Therefore, the judgment of Dou Huang, the doctor there, cannot be relied upon by foreign aid, nor by anyone!
Secondly, he concluded that Li Jie had a huge appetite, but no matter how big his appetite was, Li Jie had no intention of eating everyone in the Chu State. If he allowed the dignitaries of Ying to flee now, he would be screening out the available people.
Dou Huang, the doctor at that place, thought about it from his perspective and realized that the one who survived after Yingdu had the ability to escape must be a feudal lord within the Chu Kingdom, and at the very least, he was an established Tu tribe.
To Li Jie, these people are basically useless, and the cost of recruiting them one by one is unimaginable.
But they all ran away, so those who were left in Yingdu were either those who could not escape, or those who were loyal to Chu.
No matter which one it is, there is no threat to Li Jie.
The former is just leeks, no matter what; the latter is because Li Jie has controlled the King of Chu and the Queen Mother, they can only give in and surrender to rats, let alone their own kings.
Therefore, these people who cannot escape and stay behind are all useful to Li Jie, and they can be used immediately.
Douhuang once again believed that after Li Jie defeated the Chu State, he might have to face only two potential powerful enemies.
The first is the foreign troops who used the name of aiding Chu to carry out plunder. Douhuang guessed that it might be Qi or Yan, but Yan is too far away and too weak to support such a big scene, so it can only be
Qi State.
Calculating old and new grudges together was the motivation for the Marquis of Qi to intervene. And preventing Li Jie's family from becoming bigger was the common aspiration of the powerful people in Qi.
If Li Jie is too strong, it will threaten the space for Qi merchants to move internationally.
The second is the old aristocratic families of Wu State, including even the current King of Wu.
If he said he didn't know about the "Hanzi", Dou Huang might not think much about it, but the little trick that Emperor Zhou had with Li Jie in private confirmed to Dou Huang that Li Jie had no intention of continuing to be loyal to King Wu.
, sooner or later there will be a fight.
But at this time, it was one of the few times when Wu State could make use of Li Jie.
Internally, he could use the excuse of rebellion, but externally, he would pull Qi, Lu, and even Song, Zheng, and Wei together to besiege Li Jie.
King Wu of Wu has such qualifications, because even in the second forced Yang War, Song State gave in to Wu State instead of to Li Jie. This point has an identity recognition problem in the world.
When Li Jie was labeled as a traitor, even if everyone knew about it, for Song, Lu, Zheng and other countries, if they won the battle, they would naturally eat meat, and if they lost, they would just dump the blame.
That's the state of Wu.
Knowing that Li Jie might have so many opponents, Dou Huang didn't take any chances. He directly determined that Li Jie would definitely defeat these opponents.
The source of his confidence has nothing to do with the comparison of strength, but Dou Huang began to doubt himself. His previous judgments based on experience were all failures and mistakes on Li Jie. So after his subconscious first judgment, Dou Huang directly went the opposite way.
And Xingzhi thought that his previous self must have been completely wrong.
Confronting your subconscious self, this is Dou Huang's current method of operation. First, you have a conclusion, and Dou Huang then finds evidence for this conclusion.
After an analysis, Dou Huang found the argument that Li Jie now has the right time, place, and people, and unless all countries unite, there will be no chance.
So will all the countries unite?
Obviously not.
The Jin State is proclaiming its king, and the Qin State may be about to attack the northwest region of the Chu State. As for the Wu State, after internal strife, whether it still has the energy to confront Li Jie, and whether the King of Wu has the courage to declare that Li Jie is a traitor, is very important.
It's hard to say.
Everything points to one result, Li Jie will win.
As a result, the doctor there neither revealed that Xiang Ba, the "Yin of Huan Lie" in Yingdu, was an undercover agent, nor did he choose to run away and return to Quanyi to save his life. Instead, he asked the elite members of the family to come to Yingdu quickly instead of fighting a defensive battle.
, is to prepare for surrender.
Douhuang guessed that even if he wanted to surrender, he might not surrender to Li Jie openly, but Li Jie supported the Queen Mother Zhao or the King of Chu as puppets, and the ministers of the Chu State who stayed in Yingdu would eventually be "
"Welcome back" the King of Chu or the Queen Mother, and continue to retain the title and official position.
Officials of the puppet government are officials too!
What Douhuang, the doctor there, is currently focusing on is the reward benefits that can be gained by "welcoming" the King of Chu or the Queen Mother.
This is a benefit that cannot be obtained under normal circumstances, but in special times, it may not be possible.
It is not impossible even for Xiang Ba, the "Yin of the Ring", to make an exception and become Ling Yin, Mo Ao, and Sima.
Even if the Chu State returns to normal in the future, this "exceptional" situation cannot be treated as non-existent. Not only must it be acknowledged, but it must also be commended.
Just like the "Fighting Wind Knows the Strength of Grass" back then, the Dai family in the Song Dynasty suddenly became the most powerful family in the Song Dynasty, and it was vaguely intended to replace the Song family.
Just as Shang Wuji believed that Li Jie could settle the war on the southern front, Emperor Dou also believed that Li Jie had the ability to turn Chu into a mess and then play with it as he pleased, just like he now plays with the Queen Mother of Chu.
But before that, Dou Huang, the doctor at that place, was not idle. He took some time and took his nephews with him to Xiang Ba's residence.
Different from the past, Xiang Ba, the "Yin of the Ring", now lives in a very simple and shabby place, because it is a military camp and there are basically no entertainment facilities.
In the camp, Xiang Ba, who was dressed in linen and wearing mango shoes, even opened a nursery by himself.
When others asked, "Why did Shang Yin do this?" Xiang Ba looked selfless and righteous, saying, "The country is in trouble, and the master is in prison. How can a minister feel at ease?"
Then he said that diligence and frugality are the traditional virtues of the Chu people. If conditions did not allow it, he would not even eat meat, but would eat game outside the city so as not to cause any trouble to the country.
Seeing Xiang Baqijie so noble, it can be said that those who smell sad and see it will shed tears.
However, after the doctor Dou Huang came to visit with the disciples of the Dou clan, he didn't play that trick.
When they arrived at Xiang Ba's residence, Emperor Dou burst into laughter as he entered: "Hahahaha... Xiangzi can hide it from others, but he can't hide it from me! You are Wu Jie's internal correspondent, I have proof!"
Douhuang was just deceiving him, but he didn't know that Xiang Ba laughed and said: "You have a life, so how can you talk about whether you are an internal response or not? Even if Ba is an internal response, this 'circle of divisions' is just a tired dog, so what?
Huaishui Bohu’s opponent?”
"Two armies are fighting. How can we dare to say victory or defeat without fighting?!"
"Why bother, Quan Zi? Why bother? ... I just want to save my life. If Quan Zi is brave and courageous, he can go to the bank of Yangshui and compete with Shadong."
It’s not that he looked down on the doctor there. In Xiang Ba’s view, with just the few people from the Dou clan in Quanyi, who could not even meet Li Jie, a Shadong could conquer Quanyi from Yingdu, and then from there.
Quan Yi fights back, then fights back...
The crocodile people's fighting power is so crazy. If they don't care about their dominance, with Li Jie's current strength, they can easily sweep them away, but that doesn't mean they will be settled if they win.
After possessing absolute force, there must be enough management talents to complete the redistribution of resources. What Li Jie is holding back now is a large number of bureaucrats.
Unlike Dou Huang, Xiang Ba came from the "lower level" and was naturally sensitive to bloodline rule.
The "blood politics" of the world's princes is not very attractive to the "lower class" like him, because the chance of turning over one's past is too low.
But the previous Dou Huang was different. His ancestor was the monarch of the Chu Kingdom, and the entire Dou family was a clan from the beginning, protecting and defending the royal family of the Chu Kingdom.
Even the Chu Kingdom has been in a romantic relationship for hundreds of years, and the auxiliary ministers of the Chu kings in the last two or three generations are not controlled by the Dou family.
The Dou clan's influence is so strong that internal blood replacement is enough to keep their elites living happily.
Dou Huang is also indifferent to "blood politics" and naturally likes it because he was born into a good child.
But Douhuang is the head of the Quanyi Dou clan after all. Now he forcibly believes that his first judgment about Li Jie is wrong, and then does the opposite, and then looks for theoretical basis on this basis.
As long as the argument is valid, then execute it.
Therefore, no matter how much Dou Huang knew in his heart that "blood politics" was his favorite and most suitable, he still had to force a transformation in his heart. Not only did he have to transform, but the entire family and the entire Dou family had to do the same.
What Li Jie brought was not "blood politics", but "bureaucratic politics." The elites, intellectuals, technicians, and businessmen attached to the Huai Shui Bo Mansion... all had to pass a series of "examinations" to select them.
,filter.
Regardless of whether there may be confusion or various dirty friendships behind the scenes, in general, this is a selection of the best among the best, and everyone makes the best use of their talents.
"Only talents are used", Li Jie also implemented this while shouting the slogan.
The scope of execution was smaller at first, but now it is larger, and it will naturally be larger in the future.
If Li Jie can be beaten to death, then this will be meaningless later.
However, Dou Huang went against the grain and concluded that Li Jie could in turn kill Wu, Chu, and even the Xia of the Central Plains.
So, if you surrender early through alternative methods now, you can also penetrate into the system of Huaishui Bo Mansion earlier and in a peaceful way.
The results may take decades or even generations to come, but Dou Huang can definitely afford to wait.
Being together with the current Chu State will only lead to death. Even if the Dou family does share weal and woe with the Chu State, he does not want to be a loyal minister who shares the same fate with the country. He still has a family and thousands of other people.
of tribesmen.
In Li Jie's anger, the entire Quanyi might not be completely wiped out, but it would be effortless to clear out the Dou clan.
"I am weak, how can I dare to fight against the powerful generals of the Sha family?"
"oh?"
Seeing the doctor talking to him in a playful tone, Xiang Ba's eyes lit up while he was still picking onions in the field. He also showed a playful expression, and then smiled and said to Dou Huang, "I'm in the house.
Some Huaixia flour is ground in Huaizhong City. I just came out and pinched a few spring onions. Why don't I give it to the doctor to taste?"
"Hahahaha...I'm a guest, do whatever you want."
"please!"
"please!"
It was night, and the originally simple military camp was actually quite lively, with lights and laughter. Someone in Yingdu inquired about the news, saying that the doctor there had a concubine who was going to marry a son of Xiang Ba, the "Yin of the Ring".
It's just that this son lives far away now and is still studying in Huaizhong City, so he won't be able to come back in the short term.
However, Douhuang, the doctor there, said that this was not a problem at all. The Dou family could marry their daughter to Huaizhong City.
The two parties have finalized some issues regarding betrothal gifts. For example, Xiang Ba, the "Yin of Huan Lie", thinks that he can buy a house in Huaizhong City, an international city, for a young couple.
When the doctor saw that his in-laws' family was so open, he said that they were not ambiguous about the Dou family, so he raised a little bit about the dowry of the slaves. He originally planned to marry 5,000 slaves, but after adding zero, he married 50,000 slaves to Huaishui.
Then the doctor said that when a dignified Dou family girl gets married, she should not be too shabby, and she should be equipped with five hundred vehicles, all of which are Chu-style chariots.
Anyway, it's okay to leave it alone. It's better to use it as a betrothal gift, so that both parties can save face.
After the news spread, the powerful people in Yingdu, who had no confidence at all, fled half of them.
The last few top dignitaries who did not run away had a different taste.
It's such an urgent time, do your two families still have time to get married? Why do you want to do it with such a huge fanfare, for fear that others won't know?
Everyone is not an idiot, especially Sima Hai, who led the left army. His father was a young master, and his great-grandfather was a right Sima. From then on, he took "Sima" as his surname, and his main foundation was in the Yangkou area of Yingdu.
This time Li Jie made a surprise attack on the Chu State. Within just a few days after the fall of Zhu Palace, a large amount of the Sima family's land was taken away by Li Jie.
Many fertile fields outside Yingdu City are actually owned by the Sima family. Shadong is now organizing an autumn harvest, and what is harvested is the Sima family's grain.
It's just that the Sima clan can't resist now. Except for the main sect, which is still huddled in Wubao, all the peripheral sects and branches have been unifiedly managed.
A large number of slaves and tribesmen of the Sima family became coolies, men repaired bridges, paved roads and built houses. Women also participated in the labor, cutting grass, plowing the sun, threshing, filling... No manpower was wasted at this time.
Sima Hai, who is on the front line, is not very clear about the situation in the rear. Although Sima Hai is from Chu, he has been living abroad for a long time since his father was killed when he was the young master. He can only understand the changes in the family through his clan members.
Only by passing the message can you understand.
It didn't take long for him to truly take control of the Sima family. The reason for coming back was just his special experience. For Empress Dowager Zhao, it was much easier to control him.
Therefore, although Sima Hai was a Sima clan, he did not have the habit of causing chaos if he cared. He was worried about the life and death of the people in the rear, but it was not enough to prompt him to go back with his army to rescue.
On the contrary, he very calmly sent out his cronies to return to Yingdu to inquire about the military situation.
When he discovered that Yingdu had not really fallen, Sima Hai did not breathe a sigh of relief, nor did he feel happy in his heart. Instead, he became even more solemn.
Because he found that most of the dignitaries in Yingdu were scattered, and those with connections returned to their places of origin to huddle up and arm themselves.
He has no way out and looks like a dog waiting to die in Yingdu.
But that's not the point. The point is that Li Jie obviously has good combat power, but he acts like he wants to celebrate the New Year here. This makes Sima Hai have to guess whether it was Li Jie who had the idea and not the defenders of Yingdu.
, but the army of "King Qin", because only the army of "King Qin" is the combat power of Chu State.
Sima Hai's judgment was immediately overturned after he discovered that Li Jie had a great time playing with the Queen Mother Zhao every day.
He changed his mind. If Li Jie was not in a hurry to eliminate the main force of the Chu State, then he would not panic in the face of Ying. Is it because Yingdu has internal forces? And it is easy to defeat Yingdu's high-end internal forces?
With such a new direction of thinking, Sima Hai once again sent his cronies to Yingdu, and then he heard that the official Dou Huang was actually married to Xiang Ba, the "Yin of the Ring".
So Sima Hai, the general of the left army, immediately came to the conclusion that Li Jie's internal agent was the official fighting the emperor!
As for Xiang Ba, the "Yin of the Huan Lie", we didn't consider it at all. In fact, Xiang Ba was just an old loser. Who in the entire Chu State didn't know?
What’s the use of a mascot without real power?
How is it like that doctor fighting against the emperor? This is the head of the Dou clan. And how many years have the Dou clan been fighting with the royal family?
Now the Chu royal family has finally suppressed the Dou family, but they still borrowed the witch Queen Dowager Zhao.
So now that the temptress is captured and the King of Chu is imprisoned, no matter how you look at it, this is an opportunity for the Dou family to make a comeback.
Moreover, Sima Hai also boldly speculated whether Li Jie's surprise attack was due to Dou's suggestion?
So when the doctor Dou Huang was busy marrying Yin Xiangba of Huan Lie, Sima Hai of the left army was also not idle. He first found out the situation of Chu State's "Hengshan Army", and the Chinese army was completely collapsed.
, that idiot Zhao Pan was also missing. Sima Hai even thought that Zhao Pan, the guy with the head of a wild boar, was chopped into pieces by the Chu people and fed to the dogs.
On the twenty-fifth day when President Li continued to have sex for free in Zhu Palace, the Huai Army's southern front still had no intention of truly conquering Yingdu, but strangely, there was peace on the Jianghan Plain.
Stability is out of the question, after all, various armed personnel have appeared, such as crocodiles, brave men, righteous soldiers, righteous followers, mausoleum masters, boat masters, family slaves named Mi, and even the remnants of the Luo Kingdom, not to mention the various people of the Chu Kingdom.
Troops directly under the jurisdiction of each county.
There may be fifty or sixty sources of various armed forces in total, including various forces, large and small.
The tribes of Lian Bai Pu rebelled when they heard that the Chu State had been stolen by the Wu State again.
During the autumn harvest season, the entire southwestern region of Chu State was in chaos.
There were rebel flags everywhere on the hills, large and small, taking advantage of this opportunity to burn and loot.
The Chu people live in the city, and the Baipu tribes live in the mountains. Originally, they couldn't kill each other, but the Baipu people are better at playing, and if they can't kill the Chu people, they will kill their own people.
If it is inconvenient to kill your own people, then go and kill the Ba people.
Among them were the descendants of the tribes from Baipu and Yongguo, who passed through Wuling and descended from Wushan Mountain, tying up the tribes of all sizes, and then plundered the land of Baguo.
Yufu and other places paid tribute to the Chu State, and Yin, a county near Bianyi, sent people to ask for help from the capital of Ying.
Dou Huang and Xiang Ba in Yingdu realized that the western border of Chu State was now in a mess.
The Baipu people bypassed the counties and cities of Chu State and built a city in Yufu and other places. They named it "Yufu Kingdom" and established a king and twenty-five deputy kings on the left and right, for a total of fifty-one chief and deputy kings.
Why did the Jin State always have trouble with the Chu people?
Just because the Chu people are kings.
Similarly, now within the "sphere of influence" of the Chu State, the Yakuza who used to pay tribute dare to claim the throne. Regardless of whether it is a monkey's joke or not, it is of a very bad nature. If the Chu State does not deal with it, then the surrounding areas will be affected in the future.
, I wonder how many people are kings?
So Dou Huang, the doctor there, thought, this matter must be settled, but the troops at hand are probably not enough, and he has to resort to tricks to surrender to the enemy. How can he be dignified? Isn't it just that someone has soldiers and money?
?
To make Li Jie look good, just being able to kneel and lick is enough?
Yin Xiangba of Huanlie said that he could do it, and told his relatives that for Li Jie, he never asked who the enemy was or how many there were, he only asked where the enemy was.
So whether you are a local noble or a savage, it is all the same. You can be killed with one stab, so why bother?
However, Huan Lie's Yin was afraid that his relatives would think too much, so he still gave a compromise plan, saying that at this time, he could recruit people to join the gang, kneel down and lick Li Jie together, and at the same time earn face!
General Sima Hai of the left army became the best solution for Xiang Ba and Dou Huang.
After all, they could not influence the Chu Army in the Three Passes at all. With the wavering of the "Hengshan Army", the main force of the three armies of the Ling Division actually collapsed the Chinese Army, and a "military disaster" formed in the vast area. In this case, during the period when the Yingdu system was sound,
There is no guarantee that it will affect the front line, not to mention that there is Li Jie on the other side of Yangshui who is having a great time playing the Queen Mother?
"Xiangzi thinks Sima Hai is really willing?"
For Sima Hai, Dou Huang is not afraid. The Sima family is now in a state of death for the whole family. Of course, it is not a real death, but a social death.
It has been determined that the land around Yingdu has nothing to do with the Sima family, now or in the future.
Shadong came up and robbed him. It wasn’t that the Sima clan didn’t resist. What could he do if he couldn’t kill or defeat him? Then because of his fierce resistance, Shadong, who couldn’t attack Yingdu, used it to vent his anger. He uprooted the whole family, and all men, women, old and children became victims.
into a state of slave labor.
Without the foundation of the Sima clan, Sima Hai would take the lead in fighting for the highest power in Yingdu?
"If there is a change in the Dou family, Duke Danyang of the Great Tunnel Pass will have to rescue him even if it is a starry night. Can Sima Hai do anything? Quan Zi should know that although Sima Hai will general the Zuo Army, the Zuo Army generals and assistants may not listen.
He said: If there is no benefit, the Left Army will definitely fall apart within a few months."
After saying that, Yin Xiangba, who was in charge of the ring, said again, "Sima Hai can only survive if he allows the Zuo army to survive and benefit. On this occasion, what are the choices of Sima Hai? If he is a brave man,
Return to the capital of Ying and rush for reinforcements to counterattack. Why not be a loyal minister and a good general for once?"
"People from the left army may not be willing."
"good!"
Xiang Ba agreed very much with Dou Huang's judgment, "If the men of the Zuo Army follow Sima Hai's orders and come to Yingdu, I am afraid that Sima Hai will be defeated that night! Therefore, Sima Hai will definitely choose another way."
"If so..."
"In this case, we can order the envoys to go to the Zuo Army. The King and the Queen Mother are not in the city. You and I can be called 'supervising the country.' Or, in the name of 'supervising the country,' we can order the Zuo Army to go to Yufuzhi."
If the earth suppresses the rebellion, why not?"
"Sima Hai will definitely agree."
"Yes, Sima Hai will definitely agree, and the left army will definitely agree, so that the Chu State can maintain its dignity. As for the restoration of the Zhu Palace, at least the number of Chu State mausoleum divisions will be eliminated, and Sima Hai can be taken away. If the Queen Mother, Your Majesty returns,
Yingdu, that Sima Hai must also form its own entity in the land of Yufu."
Listening to the tune but not the announcement is really a basic operation.
Perhaps the Zuo Army still has the idea of preserving the dignity of the Chu Kingdom, but as time goes by, as long as Sima Hai's operations are not too radical, he can become a warlord of the Ba Kingdom, borrowing the name of the Chu Kingdom, and wreaking havoc in the Ba Kingdom.
Strictly speaking, it is equivalent to the low-end version of Li Jie, but with smaller combat power and weaker opponents.
But when it comes to income, it's different.
According to the tradition of the Chu State, all the officers and soldiers of the Zuo Army must be held accountable.
This is not the matter of Zhao Pan of the Chinese Army alone. The words "involving the three armies" are not taking off his pants and farting. If the Queen Mother Zhao had not been captured by Li Jie, she could have taken advantage of the opportunity to continuously cleanse the Chu State military.
Others can't even fart.
As for now, that's another thing, different people play differently.
As a result, Dou Huang, the senior official there, and Yin Xiangba, the commander of the ring, made a plan to seduce General Sima Hai of the left army.
He directly used the name of "Supervisor of the Country", changed Sima Hai's title, and directly called him "General Zuo" when he raised his head.
At the same time, Sima Hai was given ten vacancies for "Left Leaders and Right Leaders". To put it bluntly, ten important personnel appointments were delegated to front-line combat troops.
It is simply to encourage Sima Hai to become a warlord, and to be more courageous, take bigger steps, and take bigger actions.
The central government is very encouraging. Just make things happen and I will be responsible for sorting them out.
The shortage of ten "left-wing historians and right-wing leaders" is a signal and a tacit understanding.
If Sima Hai is a loyal minister, or if Sima Hai is determined not to accept it, which means that I, Sima Hai, am a loyal minister of Chu State, and I just want to rescue the king and kill the witch, then he will definitely refuse, and he will refuse righteously.
!
But obviously Sima Hai didn't do this. He was not a fool. Running away from Zhu Palace would be a dead end. Li Jie's dog still hasn't moved yet. There must be more ferocious tricks and traps waiting for the Chu people.
He, Li Jie, just wanted to "surround the area and call for reinforcements"!
However, President Li thought, I didn't surround Yingdu either. You Chu people can run away if you want, and I have no intention of stopping you.
However, this does not prevent Sima Hai from being very imaginative. In addition, he has many thoughts and does not want to lose military power. In order to stabilize the left army, Sima Hai wants the vacancies of these ten "left-wing historians and right-wing leaders"!
There is no way, he is so loyal to the central government's order, how could he refuse?
Even if the central government told him to die, he would firmly consider it.
Not long after, the left army who retreated from the Dabie Mountains did not care about the life and death of the remaining troops of the "Hengshan Army". They collected gold and silver, plundered the cities of their own country, and rushed to their homes.
However, it is a lie to go to the palace, but it is true to cross the Han River. If Sima Hai were to go to the palace, he would be afraid of the border troops at the three passes, especially the bastards at Ming'e Pass who would kidnap Dao'er on the way.
Just after crossing the Han River, an order came from the capital of Ying, saying that Baipu was causing trouble and Yu was in turmoil again. General Zuo was the pillar of the country. This time, he would be in trouble.
As soon as the order arrived at the Zuo Army, Sima Hai's vanguard was already approaching Wushan.
There is no means of transportation, just two legs!
Sima Hai gave his subordinates only one order: five pieces of cloth per person in Wushan!
People die for money and birds die for food. The people of Zuo Army are also in a complicated mood now. They really don't dare to let them go to Li Jie because they have lost their courage.
Who would have thought that Li Jie was not north of the Dabie Mountains, but south of the Han River?
As for the King and the Queen Mother being arrested, then... let's just arrest them. Anyway, that's already the case.
Therefore, the entire Left Army has now formed a strange interest group, headed by "Left General" Sima Hai, who first robs his own people, and then goes to Ba to beat children.
As long as you don't confront Li Jie, it's easy to talk about anything.
When Sima Hai led his army to Yufu to quell the rebellion, and the leading troops had already arrived in the Wushan area, the news reached Yingdu, and Dou Huang, the doctor there, breathed a sigh of relief.
This combination of punches and the surrender posture is pretty good-looking no matter what.
Sure enough, when Xiang Ba ordered people to go to Zhu Palace again, President Li finally planned to do some spare time activities, such as military and political affairs.
"What's going on?"
Li Jie looked at Sha Dong with a strange look on his face, "That Zhao Pan from the Chu Kingdom disappeared?"
"yes!"
"Did you f*cking secretly go and mess with Chu Jun?"
"..."
Sha Dong looked depressed, thinking about what the hell I was thinking, but what the hell can I do if I harvest grain every day this month? What can I do? What can I do?!
"We didn't attack the Chu army. How could the Chu army end up with so many casualties?"
"I heard the camp howls at night."
"That's okay?!"
President Li looked confused. Sha Dong had already told people about this matter several times, but Li Jie didn't even look at it.
It was not an urgent matter, and Li Jie had no interest in knowing the movements of the three armies of the Chu Army. He had great confidence in his uncle Shang Wuji.
It might be difficult to directly cross the Dabie Mountains and beat up the three armies of the Chu State's Lingshi, but it would be extremely difficult for Shang Wuji to contain Chu's large army.
The main force of the Huai Army north of the Dabie Mountains and Li Jie's surprise attack force share the pressure for each other.
No matter which direction the Chu army relaxes, they must think carefully.
What's more, it's not a matter of careful consideration now. Li Jie succeeded in stealing chickens, and the entire Chu country was in chaos.
The internal conflicts that were originally very complicated, without the backbone to suppress the conflicts, who would be convinced?
That is to say, Dou Huang, whose thinking circuit has undergone a major change, found another way out.
Otherwise, according to the current development of things, Sima Hai can bring the Zuo army across the border, and with the operation of Yin Xiangba in the ring, Sima Hai can pass through Quanyi.
By then, the entire Quanyi city will be like Lao Niu digging the ground?
Nowadays, using a concubine and political ties not only preserves the power of the hometown, but may also go a step further.
Anyway, the king is not at home today, so that’s it.
"Shou Li, Yingdu... do you still want to attack?"
"Didn't I say, don't worry about it."
"But if we don't care anymore, winter will come."
"What are you afraid of? Why don't you go to Yingdu to keep warm in winter? What's the problem?" Li Jie didn't take it seriously and said to Sha Dong, "Don't you understand yet?"
"Understand what?"
Sha Dong was confused. He didn't want to understand anything now. He just wanted to knock down Yingdu and go home.
"Xiangba is one of ours."
"Xiang Ba?"
"You walk along the bank of Yangshui every day, but you don't know who the highest officer is across from you?"
"The Yin of Chu's capital city." Sha Dong blurted out, then was stunned for a moment, "Xiang Ba?!"
The name was too familiar, and because it was so familiar, I was a little confused for a moment and forgot about it at the time.
Now that he thought about it again, Sha Dong was extremely excited and quickly saluted: "First Li Yingming!"
"You're so wise, you've taken advantage of me, how can you stop working for me?"
As President Li said, he put away his silk robe and pajamas a little, stood up on his wooden clogs, "In the nearby coal mines, we will organize manual mining first. As long as we live comfortably this winter, no matter how unpopular the people are, people will not be able to live."
Come down, people's hearts will be warm!"
"yes!"
"Now organize a hunting team to kill all the tigers, leopards, jackals, crocodiles and wild boars around Xia Shui Yang Shui."
"yes!"
"This time we entered the Chu army and divided the fields on the spot. Then we recruited people and prepared to plant wheat."
"yes!"
"The temper of the people of Chu has been worn down, and it's time for their king to show his face. Send an envoy to Yingdu and ask Xiang Ba if he wants to be your commander. If so, write an appointment.
, stamp it with the seal of the King of Chu. Then ask him to make a list. Whoever wants to be a Sima or a young master should write it down clearly."
After saying that, Li Jie raised a finger and said to Sha Dong, "There is only one condition for being selected for the list, and that is loyalty. The more loyal you are, the greater your official position will be, do you understand?"
"yes!"
"Okay, I still have business to do, so don't bother me with your damn troubles all the time."
"yes……"
After answering, Sha Dong saw the boss rubbing his hands, stepping on his wooden clogs with a look of joy on his face, and trotting up to the high platform.
