I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 414 Don't be decent?Give him face!
If Lu Guo sensed that Zhishi was going to do something to him, what they were doing was to survive.

If the king and ministers of the Lu State did not realize that the next step of the Zhi family was to destroy the State of Lu, then they would be committing self-destruction.

Based on Zhiyao's understanding of the monarch and ministers of the Lu Kingdom, she felt that they only cared about the petty gains in front of them. They might have realized that if they got too close to the Yue Kingdom, they would be hostile to the Lai Zhi family, so they were inexplicably confident that they could dance on the tip of a knife.

No matter which monarch or which group of ministers is changed, the leadership of Lu State is like this, otherwise, the situation of the country would not have deteriorated after Zhou Gongdan.

Do you think this wave of operations is the stupidest?The state of Lu has done quite stupid actions more than once, such as repeatedly desperately needing the protection of the state of Jin, but it has disgusted the state of Jin time and time again.

In the past, the state of Jin only punished the foolish monarchs and ministers of the state of Lu in a small way.

Now is not the past, many countries have disappeared in more than 20 years, and the Zhi clan has annexed Qiuyou, Zhongshan, Weiguo and most of Qiguo's territory one after another.

What kind of fanciful self-confidence would make Lu's monarch and ministers think that the Zhi family would not dare to destroy Lu's only city, and even annex Lu's completely?

Is it from Zhou Gongdan's legacy?Let's see if the Qi State in the prosperous period remembers Zhou Gongdan, there is no such thing.

Furthermore, Ji Zhou is a co-lord of the world who was born unrighteously. From the beginning, he was not as highly centralized as the previous dynasties. In fact, Ji Zhou broke the trend of central jurisdiction and created a system of princes autonomy situation.

Before Ji Zhou replaced Yin and Shang, many regions in Zhu Xia were actually under the rule of Yin and Shang. When Ji Zhou became the co-lord of the world, Di, Rong, Yi, and Man all over the world ushered in a golden age. Two-thirds are under the control of Di, Rong, Yi, and Man.

To tell a fact, or to call it a joke, I thought that Ji Zhou's enfeoffment opened up a vast living space for future generations, and those spaces were originally laid down by Yin Shang. (It's not a private matter, you can check the out-of-control map, the evidence is there)
Ji Zhou's descendants are kings, marquises, generals, and ministers, and have nothing to do with ordinary Li Shu.Maybe it has something to do with Li Shu?It's just that Li Shu has always been the group that needs to be brave enough to contribute, to enjoy the results, who are you, do you have a good father, dare to think like that, don't even dream about it.

Of course, it’s not that the Yin and Shang are so good, it’s just that during the entire dynasty cycle, Ji Zhou really lost to the Yin and Shang in the struggle against alien races.

To tell another joke, the era when the Zhuxia ethnic groups fully liquidated Di, Rong, Yi, and Man was precisely after the Zhou royal family became a signboard.

In such a dynasty, don't expect Zhiyao to have the mentality of devoting himself to death.

Of course, what Zhiyao wants to do has not yet reached the level of serving all living beings in the world.This requires a process.

At the moment, Zhiyao was standing on the wall of the transformed "Wei" city, watching the Wei army who wanted to recapture the city wall fall one by one under the rain of arrows from their own crossbowmen.

The walls of the city are not defensive from the outside, that is to say, it is easier to attack from the inside than from the outside.

For example, block some passages in the city wall, make sandbags or other things to form bunkers or arrow chops.

"The enemy army may have enough food and fodder, but the water source in the city is less than [-] people can use it." Ji Qin said.

Most of the cities now do not have external water sources into the city. The usual wells may supply enough water to the city. Once the defenders transferred from it are added, the water supply problem will arise.

Of course, new wells can be built. The problem is that once the city wall falls, some of the original wells will be filled by the attacking party. Furthermore, the amount of groundwater provided by the same area within a certain period of time is fixed, which does not mean that the more wells are built. If there are many, the water source will be inexhaustible.

It has been five months since the Zhi clan besieged the city of "Wei", and the season has come to the end of spring.

The melting of ice and snow can provide some water for the trapped Wei's defenders. Spring is also a season of rain from time to time, but don't believe that the next rain will improve the situation.

Under the premise of insufficient water sources, it is really not that one or a few rains will solve the problem, at most it will boost the morale of the army for a while, and the rainwater collected within a few days should be completely consumed again.

The top brass of the Wei Clan obviously understood the truth. Whenever the water source was sufficient, they would launch a strong attack immediately when the morale of the army was encouraged. Occasionally they could capture some sections of the city wall, but they were quickly driven back by the Zhi Clan's troops.

"If it goes well, the city of 'Wei' can be captured in the middle of summer." Zhiyao said.

There is still a rain from time to time in spring, but there is no such thing in summer.

The arrival of summer will sharply increase the water shortage problem of the trapped Wei's defenders. They can go out of the city to replenish water sources during non-wartime conditions. Being besieged is another matter.

More than five months have passed, has anything happened elsewhere?

First of all, the "Han" city of the Han family was recaptured. Cheng Shuo did not wipe out the Wei army in the "Han" city. Firstly, the commander of the Wei family in the "Han" land was clever enough; They can attack or annihilate the Wei army outside, or drive them away, chasing them one after another.

Under Sun Wu's suggestion, Cheng Shuo got the strength of two "divisions" from Han Geng, and then he chased the Wei family's defeated soldiers all the way.

At that moment, Cheng Shuo led his army to catch up to the west of Dahe, and the battle location between the two sides changed from "Han" land to the mountainous area within the scope of Wei's fiefdom.

During this period, the two sides fought another battle in "Shaoliang", and moved to the mountainous area only after fighting for the battlefield. As a result, other migrating teams of the Wei family were cut off, making it impossible for them to enter the mountainous area west of the Dahe.

Sun Tzu's intention was to eliminate part of the main force of the Wei family, and then block the migration of the Wei family. It can be said that the strategic goal has been achieved, and he is looking for opportunities to destroy more Wei family troops or rob more people.

At the current stage of the war, unless the princes immediately form a coalition to intervene, no matter how hard the Wei family struggles, they will not be able to change the outcome of defeat.

The reason why Zhiyao stayed in "Wei" city and did not move can be regarded as a funeral for the Wei family.

Do you have to say that there is another reason?Probably Zhishi...or Zhiyao, who has never experienced siege warfare and needs to use the "Wei" city to do related experiments.

It is conceivable that Zhishi will have to fight a lot of siege battles in the future, and he will not be able to win the "Wei" city for a while, which means he is forced to have the opportunity to explore, how can he give up?
Taking five months to capture a city is actually considered routine.

Taking down a city in less than a month is an exception.

Zhiyao has created many miracles. Judging from the past achievements, some people in modern times will give the title of "Siege Master".

Wei Jun's new round of attack was repulsed again.

This time, Wei Jun did not even approach the 50-meter range of the city wall. No matter from which angle you look at it, the besieged Wei Jun seemed to be in a dying struggle.

They persisted for five months. At the beginning, there were 7 to [-] people, but now they are reduced to about [-].

Most of them died in battle or disease, and about [-] were captured or surrendered, which can fully demonstrate how strong or tenacious the defenders' consciousness is as long as Weiss can hold on.

Ji Qin said: "The lord of the Wei family died with the city, and the city cannot be lived after the war."

Yes, there are too many people who died in the city, especially when the Wei clan didn't keep the corpses away, the Zhi clan's auxiliary soldiers would also be attacked when they went to collect the corpses of the war dead, so many of the corpses of the war dead were put there rot.

Under that circumstance, the city is now stinking to the sky, and it is purely a miracle that the plague did not occur.

In the end, the Zhi family didn't take the initiative to attack, and avoided close combat if it didn't happen. The arrows seemed to be used to death as if they didn't need money, and the fear was that they would be infected with the possible plague.

Zhiying came quickly, and after saluting, he said: "Lord, Lord Chu sent an envoy 'Xintian' to invite 'Yongqiu' to join the alliance."

This kind of thing happened within Zhiyao's expectation.

The princes will form a new alliance, which does not necessarily have to be used against the Jin State, but it can be a kind of party unity against dissent.

If there is no accident, the annexation of various countries will become more intense in the future, and the era when small countries have no qualifications to survive is coming.

Should the State of Jin participate in the "Yongqiu League" led by the State of Chu?This is completely nonsense, if you don't participate, you will definitely destroy it!

If you ignore the "Yongqiu League" completely, wouldn't you give up the stage of diplomatic relations and let Chu or Yue dominate the order?
Just as Zhiyao was about to speak, seeing Ji Qin hesitated to speak again and again, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a large number of people approaching again in the city.

Wei Jun was defeated not long ago, did he launch an offensive again?No, the Wei army who appeared again did not shout the battle horn. The man in front showed his upper body, with a white cloth strip wrapped around his forehead, and a white cloth strip wrapped around his body in a cross-wrapped way, holding a sword in both hands.

This is a standard surrender attire, does it look like Weiss himself?

Weiss is not a prince, and he certainly does not have jade in his mouth, but he is dressed in a sincere surrender.

Now there is no such thing as raising the white flag to surrender and surrender. If you really want to surrender, you have to bare your upper body, wear only a pair of white knee-length shorts, and then wrap your forehead and torso with white cloth strips, and keep your sword-holding hands at eyebrow level.

the rest?Not holding a weapon is an attitude, and some other people with higher status also have white cloth strips wrapped around their foreheads.

It looks like mourning or mourning, and it is indeed mourning the demise of one's own power.

When did the white flag surrender?Not very clear.What can be confirmed is that there was still no such thing during the Song Dynasty. At that time, the apricot-yellow flag was raised to express the willingness to surrender.

Therefore, Song Jiang in the Northern Song Dynasty erected an apricot-yellow flag with the words "Walk the Way for Heaven", which actually expressed: I am willing to accept the recruitment, and send someone over quickly!

Weiss staged the surrender and showed up in person.

The scene was quiet.

On Zhishi's side, the higher the status, the more contemptuous the Weiss look on his face, and most of them had an expression of "it's over".

In a long siege battle, the larger the attacking side, the more boring it will be, and the besieged side must be more uncomfortable.

A cruel siege should not have ended in this way. While it seemed anticlimactic, it only proved that the Wei family was shameless enough. As the master of the Wei family, Weiss was really able to bend.

Why do you say that?According to the old rules, if the nobles surrendered, they would not be guilty of death, and the victorious party could not kill the head of the family even if they killed anyone, so they needed good hospitality.

"Qin went to accept the surrender. In addition, the soldiers should not be allowed to have contact with the surrender, and they should be driven away to collect the remains, and then be isolated and detained." Zhiyao ordered.

Ji Qin was surprised, but also felt normal.

Originally thought it was a deadly battle to the end, but Wei chose to surrender after paying such a high price of casualties, he really should be despised.

4 to [-] people died in a city, and the war dead were not resettled, and many of them turned into skeletons, which not only made the city stinky, but also made flies fly all over the sky.

Zhiyao also ordered a lot of anti-epidemic measures, including people from the Zhi family not to enter the city. Burn all personal belongings including clothes.

In order to let everyone understand the seriousness of the matter, Zhiyao described the horror of the plague, and sent people to announce to the whole army, don't take their own and other people's lives seriously for the sake of taking advantage.

Relying on self-consciousness and so on is relatively suspended, and strict supervision by military officers is required.

The next day, Zhiyao left "Wei" city with a group of people.

This means that Weiss is no longer eligible to meet Zhiyao himself, not that Weiss is disqualified as a loser, but that Weiss' choice is shameless enough.

Not that Weiss chose to resist was a mistake.

The main thing is, if you choose to resist, stick to it!

Otherwise, committing suicide after surrender is also an option.

Weiss surrendered and showed a cooperative attitude after the surrender.

Now is not the time when Wei Si's death will make the Wei family stop offering sacrifices. The Zhi family will definitely set aside a city for someone from the Wei family to serve as a food city to keep offering sacrifices to Wei's ancestors.

Before leaving, Zhiyao gave an instruction to Jiqin, since Weiss doesn't want to be decent, Jiqin must give it.

Therefore, Weiss still became a corpse after all, and the publicity was that he died of illness.

Zhiyao, who left the "Wei" city, did not immediately go to "Xintian" or "Handan" or "Puyang". field".

During the inspection, Zhiyao had already sent people back to "Xintian" to invite the princes to "Shangqiu" for an alliance in the name of Jin Junzhuo.

Having said that, "Yongqiu" or "Shangqiu" are both within the territory of the Song State, and the alliance was selected within the territory of the Song State without exception.

It is clear that the state of Chu has invited the princes to have an alliance in "Yongqiu", so why did Zhiyao invite the princes to "Shangqiu" for an alliance?

There is no complicated reason, just forcing the princes to choose sides.

Not surprisingly, the next two confrontation?

What Zhiyao hopes very much is to turn into a confrontation between the North and the South.

But before that, Zhiyao still needs to do a lot of things. It is necessary to ensure that before the confrontation situation is formed, the cause of turning the family into a country will be done first.

Otherwise, God knows if there will be any force majeure situation, right?

　Lanshou, mushrooms!In a daze, I wrote a chapter for more than ten hours and revised it repeatedly.That's all for today's chapter, dear friends, let the author know how to deal with it.
