I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 50 The first linkage between Zhi's and Zhao's
The war that broke out in "Mo" can no longer be described simply as a stalemate, and has developed into a bad battle with heavy losses for each other.

Zhiyao first determined some things, such as how much effective combat power Zhao Yang had under his command, how much effective combat power the enemy had, the situation of the camps of both sides, whether the princes would continue to increase their troops, and so on.

"The scouts reported that there were no large groups of enemy troops on the south bank of the river, and the Zheng army withdrew due to the fall of many cities in the country."

Then, after Song Jun and Wei Jun withdrew from the battle sequence, the coalition forces lost another Zheng Jun, leaving Qi Jun, Lu Jun, Fan Shi, and Bank of China.

Zhiyao said: "In this way, the number of enemy troops is no more than [-]?"

The answer is very obvious. The coalition forces are not only using troops on the "Mo" side, but also the Qi army and the Lu army are attacking the cities of the Zhao family together, and the Zheng army is also attacking the cities of the Zhi family.

Therefore, the civil war in the Jin State not only became more and more involved, but gradually evolved into a state of being besieged by many countries from several directions. The Qi army participated in the "Battle of Mo" troops, while the Lu State was weak and unable to mobilize. There are too many troops, and among the more than 5 troops, the Fan family and the Zhongxing family actually account for the majority.

The city where the Zhi family was harassed by Zheng's army was in the land of Yiluo, and the situation was not too serious.

The area near the land of Yiluo is very mountainous. You only need to block some main roads to stop the enemy. A big problem.

If Zheng Guojun and his ministers were clear-headed, they would at most send a small group of troops to harass, and it would be impossible to gather a large army to fight the Jin army in that area.

Currently the main general in charge of guarding the land of Yiluo is Fuguo, commanding a "brigade" of the Fu clan, three "brigades" of the Zhi clan's Dazong, and two "brigades" of some vassals of the Zhi clan. 120 chariots and [-] infantry in a "division" and a "brigade".

"My family has more than [-] soldiers in battle." Zhiyao suddenly discovered that at this stage, the number of soldiers in her family is the largest among all the families in Jin.

Zhi Xuwu was a little confused when he heard this, so he said: "The number of the two 'teachers' of the Zhao family is trapped in the 'mo'."

In two years, the Zhao family invested about one "army" and two "divisions" in the battle, and lost about four "divisions", which is considered a heavy loss; The troops of one "army" and another "division" were dispatched, and the strength of about three "divisions" was lost; the Han family invested the least troops in the three alliances, with a total of three "divisions" of troops, and about three "divisions" were lost. A "teacher".

Of course, these losses are not all deaths. In addition to the soldiers who died in battle, there are also captured, disabled, and missing soldiers.

The tragedy was that the Fan and Zhongxing clans were the worst. Together, they lost at least three "armies". In addition to the losses in the battle, the changes in the ownership of the cities resulted in the change of the ownership of the cities that originally belonged to the Fan or Zhongxing clans. The private army has become another family's.

The Zhi family who participated in the last battle lost about one "division" and one "brigades".

The Zhi family was the last to join the battle, but suffered more losses than the Han family, which is actually not a bad thing, and it can even be said to be a good thing.

One day, Gubu Ziqing came to find Zhiyao in a hurry, and it was hard to say whether she was nervous or excited, so she hurriedly said, "Gongsun, send troops!"

Because of going to "Mo" to take advantage of it, it is impossible for Zhiyao not to pay attention to "Mo"'s battle situation, and the scouts sent are sending back news every day.

The battle situation over there is that Zhao Yang broke out after part of the camp was breached. The coalition forces of the princes and the rebels pursued Zhao Yang's troops.

There is such a strange thing, Zhishi has three "divisions" on the side of "Mu", but the enemy army doesn't seem to know it.

In fact, it's not too weird. The distance between "Mu" and "Mo" is about [-] miles, and the enemy's detection range should not exceed [-] miles. It doesn't seem strange to not know that "Mu" is stationed with Zhi's army.

Zhiyao didn't have the mentality that Zhao Yang felt that it would be shameless to send troops if he asked them to, so he replied: "The camp can be withdrawn tomorrow."

Gubu Ziqing saluted and thanked, and wanted to say something more, but what she saw was that Zhiyao didn't leave the military tent without turning her head.

Zhi's willingness to rescue Zhao does not mean that he will obey Zhao Yang's order and go to war according to the instructions.

To put it bluntly, Zhiyao can fight as much as he wants, so that he will not hand over the choice of fate to Zhao Yang.

Even if the Zhi family gave up rescue Zhao under the wrong situation, Zhao Yang would still thank Zhi Zhi for his willingness to come to the rescue.

After Zhi Yao applied for advice to Zhi, she took two "divisions" and set off first, and the destination was a forest area in the south of "Common".

The current natural environment is very good, and there is no shortage of trees anywhere. The difference is nothing more than the size of the forest area.

After they arrived, Zhao Yang hadn't retreated to the "communist" territory with the remnants of the army, but the enemy army was biting them hard.

Gubu Ziqing repeatedly asked Zhiyao to lead the army to join Zhao Yang directly, but Zhiyao refused without exception.

It wasn't a polite refusal, but Zhiyao categorically rejected Gubu Ziqing's request, and then sternly warned not to interfere with how to command.

"My troops are going there, just to refuel. If I can choose a place to fight, I may seriously injure the enemy. You are so urgent, why don't you go and tell the Chinese army where my troops are, and ask the Chinese army to lead the army to go Come here." Zhiyao didn't feel impatient and made a suggestion.

Gubu Ziqing calmed down and thought about it, and replied: "So, I will report to my master immediately."

Subsequent development is very simple.

After Zhiyao repeatedly surveyed the terrain, he arranged the hiding places of Zhi's two "divisions" and communicated with Zhao Yang. While the ambush plan was being perfected, the enemy army was chasing Zhao Yang's troops and drilling into the pocket.

Maybe it was Zhao Yang's defeat that made the princes excited, or it might be that the princes felt that they were sure of victory. They just firmly bit Zhao Yang's troops, and it was not that there was no investigation of the surrounding area, but it seemed very routine.

"It seems that this is the second time I have brought the army to the forest?" Zhiyao felt that she couldn't keep doing this, or she would suffer a big loss one day.

He stood on a high slope, his figure was covered by bushes, and he looked at the enemy and our troops that entered the field of vision.

There are not many chariots under Zhao Yang's command, and it seems that there are few flags displayed, and most of the flags are still very old.

The number of chariots pursued by the enemy army was also small, and the flags appeared to be varied, among which the flags of the Qi army accounted for the majority.

Zhiyao watched Zhao Yang's troops and the vanguard pursued by the enemy pass by, without any reaction.

"Gongsun?" Gubu Ziqing kept running back and forth between the two places. Seeing that Zhiyao didn't make any moves, she was a little confused and wanted to urge her again.

Zhiyao thought: "Attacking now is just to intercept the enemy's forward, and also to scare the enemy. This guy just watches quietly if he doesn't understand, what is he talking about."

Almost half an hour passed, and the main force of the enemy army appeared within Zhiyao's field of vision.

And Zhao Yang has been notified, and led his headquarters to turn around and fight fiercely with the enemy's forward.

"Qi Junqi, Lu Junqi, Fan's family, Zhongxing's family..." Zhiyao could understand the banners of various forces, counting silently, her heart beating faster.

Seeing that the enemy army had appeared, Gubu Ziqing said again: "Gongsun?"

"No hurry, no hurry, wait for most of the enemy troops to pass through." Zhi Yao said so, and could feel the hand holding the sword hilt sweating a lot.

About two quarters of an hour later, Zhiyao saw a small group of enemy troops about to enter the forest area, turned around to look at Zilu, and ordered: "Attack!"
