The map of the Song Kingdom is shaped like a goldfish, divided in two from the middle line, with the fish on its back in the hands of Sicheng Le and Xiang, and the belly of the fish in the hands of the "rebels".

In the official office of the Le clan in Daiyi Sicheng, Zhao Wuxian pointed to the map and said to Le Xu: "The rebels of the fourth prince and Uncle Xiao have already controlled Shangqiu, and only Miyagi is still in the hands of the monarch, but since the monarch is willing to issue an edict to his generation, he is also under control." Now Gongzidi proclaims himself the crown prince, fortunately, there is still Gongsun Jiao here in Daiyi, if the rebels dare to murder the monarch, he can be regarded as the new monarch immediately......"

Nanzi was still nowhere to be found, but amazingly, Gongsun Jie, who was with her, was sent to Daiyi. The little grandson was dizzy, he didn't know what to ask, he only remembered that he had entered the tunnel, and as soon as he saw some light, he was stunned when he came out, and when he woke up again, he had already arrived in Daiyi, which made Nanzi's whereabouts fascinated again.

The goddess disappeared, Le Wei suddenly looked flustered, lost his square inch, he originally took the Le clan soldiers to the border with Zheng Guo to build a city to defend the city, and rushed back to Daiyi after hearing that Shangqiu had changed. It is also a blessing in misfortune, the rebels stopped after arriving in Mengcheng, and the power of Sicheng Le was preserved in the turmoil, and now it can still pull out four or five thousand people.

It is a pity that July was the time when the peasants began to harvest grain, but under the chaos of the Song Kingdom, the agricultural time was delayed.

In this regard, Zhao Wuxian was very resolute: "We can't delay, there are still more than 400 cavalry left, and we can guard in the south, and my uncle will organize soldiers in the rear to harvest the grain of Le's Liuyi, and if there is an opportunity, cross the line of control and go to the enemy area to cut corn!" ”

Even the birds and rats know that it is necessary to stock up on food for the winter in the autumn, and the same is true for conquests between people. The ancients said it a long time ago. If you can't have enough food, you can't have enough soldiers. With the end of this unrest unknown, ensuring the harvesting and storage of food is a top priority. Maybe it's the winter standoff. One more stone and one less corn is the key to determining the outcome of the victory!

When the time reached the beginning of August, the new grain of Le's various towns entered the warehouse, and under the cover of the cavalry, he constantly crossed the line of control to grab grain from the other party's territory.

The skirmish gradually turned into a tug-of-war, but it never escalated into a decisive battle. Both sides are cautious and are doing the established pattern of civil strife in the Spring and Autumn period: looking for foreign aid.

……

In military geography, the "battleground where soldiers must fight" at the core of a certain combat area and where the roads of all sides converge is often called a "hub area" or a "key location." It is a belligerent double

The gains and losses of the hot spots of confrontation and contention have a great impact on the outcome of the war, and if they take the lead in controlling this area, they will put themselves in an advantageous position.

Song Guo and Zheng Guo are such places.

Song Di with the river, shielding Huaixu, where the boat and car will. Shangqiu is a flat place with four looks. The passage of carriages and horses is unimpeded, so from ancient times to the present, there has never been a place that does not take the Song Dynasty as a waist.

Zheng and Song not only had important geographical locations, but their national strength was also relatively strong among the princes of the Central Plains. Each has about 1,000 vehicles and vehicles, and the influence of where they will be thrown in the battle for hegemony among the nations is very important. Several major battles in the Spring and Autumn Period. For example, the battle of Chengpu was caused by the Jin and Chu's struggle for the Song Dynasty, while the battle of Yi, the battle of Kun, and the battle of Yanling were caused by the Jin and Qin and Chu's struggle for Zheng. As for the actions of Qi, Jin, and Chu to send troops to attack Zheng and Song, there are too many to mention.

So among the princes of the Central Plains. Zheng and Song were the most invaded by the great powers and suffered the most disasters. It is the primary object of conquest for all parties competing for hegemony. The reason for this is that these two countries are located at the core of the East Asian continent, which is the original sin!

The Song State bordered many states, and the interests involved were extremely high, so once there was civil strife, it would attract countless coveters and interference, and they were eager to support their own forces in the Song State.

The Yushi Rebellion 70 years ago and the Huaxiang Rebellion 20 years ago attracted the surrounding powers, especially the Huaxiang Rebellion, which lasted for three years, and the Jin, Chu, Wu, Qi, Zheng, Zhou princes, Cao, and the intervention armies of various countries fought into a pot of porridge in the Song Dynasty.

This time is no exception, needless to say, Zhao Wuxian's side, Cao Bo took revenge on the Song State, no matter which side wins, he will claim some of the lost land of Cao State, and after Zhao Wuxian returned to Daiyi, he sent a division to the border, clamoring to enter.

On the Xilu side, Zhao Wuxian also asked people to go back and mobilize 500 soldiers and 1,000 soldiers to come over, and the rest of the standing army and reserve forces continued to stay in case of accidents.

As a doctor, he privately transferred troops to participate in other countries' internal strife, which was another kind of trespassing, and Zigong in Taoqiu sighed secretly while loyally helping to transfer the baggage and leading the Zhao soldiers south.

However, the in-laws suffered, and Zhao Wuxian had no choice but to get involved, which is also reasonable in theory, but I don't know if Qufu will let Lu Guo be involved in the Song Rebellion?

The result was negative, but Lu Hou was addicted to participating in foreign affairs and wanted to join in excitedly. But Sanhuan was conservative and indifferent to anything outside of Lu, and so did Confucius, who groaned for a long time after receiving a request for help from his disciple Sima Geng, and then reacted in the style that most closely resembled his.

"Confucius, the great uncle of the Lu State, strongly condemned the rebellion of Uncle Xiao Daxin and the fourth prince......" Zhao Wuxian shook his head helplessly, it was really a familiar scene.

……

"Does the Naru Congress have any reinforcements?" The real principal of the Le family, the head of the family, Chen Yin, asked with concern.

"No, Sima Ziniu is not angry, he has already left the country of Lu and plans to come to vote for me." Zhao Wuxian smiled bitterly, since Lu Guo did not intend to interfere, then he, the arrogant behavior of Lu Guo's doctor who sent troops without permission, could he be regarded as a solid, would Sanhuan, who was an outsider in foreign wars and infighting, use this as an excuse to suddenly attack himself?

Although Zhang Mengtan once admonished him, hoping that he would just get involved too deeply in the Song Rebellion, so as not to take care of this and lose the other, how can he leave now? Helping Sicheng Leshi keep the basic plate is Zhao Wuxian's bottom line.

What's more, although Le Lingzi is safe, Nanzi has not heard from him...... Although he couldn't figure out how he felt about this bewitching princess, he was still a little concerned.

Chen Yin sighed: "The Lu soldiers have no combat power, and they don't expect it, I don't know if the Zhao clan of the Jin Kingdom can send troops to help?" "The Zhao clan defeated the Qi state in one fell swoop in last year's war. played a prestige, and also made a reputation. If the main force of the Zhao clan can come, the outcome of this chaos will no longer be a problem.

Facing Chen Yin's eager gaze. Zhao Wuxian suddenly remembered that the king of Chuzhuang surrounded the Song State, and the Jin State was newly defeated because of the Battle of Yi, thinking that "although the whip is long, it is not as long as the horse's belly." Heaven bestows Chu, and there is no way to fight". The Jin people could not send troops to help, and they did not want the Song State to surrender too quickly, so they sent an envoy. The envoy was captured by the Chu people and asked him to go to Shangqiu to shout for the Song people to descend quickly, but the envoy said that the Jin reinforcements were coming......

The honest Song people believed it. For the sake of a false promise of the Jin State, he held on to it for three years and refused to surrender, which led to the tragic phenomenon of Yi Zi eating and dissecting the remains.

Now, Zhao Wuxian thinks that if he says: "Master Zhao is up, it will be over!" "Will it make the Le clan and the Xiang clan feel at ease?

So he replied: "I have already sent a letter asking for help, and I am afraid that it has not yet arrived in Xintian, although the six Qings are in their own way." And it is not easy for the Zhao family to cross Taihang and cross thousands of miles to help......"

After hearing this, Chen Yin's face was full of disappointment.

"But my father's temperament, Chen Jiazai should know. If you learn that your in-laws are in trouble, you will never wait to ignore them and wait for the news. He will definitely raise troops to come to the aid of Le's! ”

This is not Zhao Wuxian lying. Zhao Ying's personality is a little different from that of the monarchs and ministers of the Jin Kingdom in previous dynasties, and there is less intrigue and deceit. But a few more times...... Heroism?

The old Zhao family can only produce such a person in one or two hundred years, with Zhao Jianzi in front and Wuling King in the back, they are like two strange peaks, which laid the foundation and prosperity of the Zhao family.

Chen Yin's face was overjoyed when he heard this, he relaxed slightly, and then frowned again: "I'm just worried now, which states will come to help Uncle Xiao and the fourth son?" ”

Le Wei happened to be pacing over, and then he said: "Gongzidi and Gongzichen occupy the southwest region of the Song Kingdom, bordering the Chen State, will the Chen State send troops to help?" ”

Zhao Wuxian often talked freely about the general situation of the world with Zhang Mengtan on weekdays, and his insight into the situation was far better than that of his eldest brother, and he replied: "Chen Guo is now sandwiched between Wu and Chu, and he will not help the rebel party." ”

When Wu Shi entered Ying, he sent people to summon Chen people to help, but Chen Huaigong did not help Wu or Chu because the people's public discussion was undecided, but closed himself off. Two years ago, Wu Wang Lu summoned Chen Huaigong again, Chen Huaigong was afraid, so he had to go to Wu State, He Lu was angry that Chen Huaigong did not come last time, detained him, and died in Wu State soon after.

Chen Guoren then established the son of Huaigong as the king, and the first monarch died in Wu, which made the people sad and indignant, so they emotionally fell back to the Chu state. But the state of Wu is strong, and the state of Chen may face the crusade of the Wu people at any time, where is the heart to interfere in the Song chaos?

"What's more, even if the Chen people join, they can only gather an army, so there is no need to worry, and the key now is still in the three kingdoms ......of Chu, Wu, and Qi."

Thinking of these three behemoths, Chen Yin, who was nearly forty years old, remembered his experience when he was young, and muttered: "If the Three Kingdoms join, this turmoil will be no different from the Huaxiang Rebellion twenty years ago!" ”

Zhao Wuxian asserted: "First of all, the people of Chu will definitely not come. ”

Le Chu asked blankly, "Why?" I heard that the king of Chu moved the capital to Yuyan, but he called the new capital 'Zaiying' to show that he would not forget his old shame. He reformed politics, won the support of the people, and was quite revitalized......"

Zhao Wuxian interrupted him: "The politics of the Chu State are difficult to return, and the newly defeated country will not be able to recover at all in ten years. Besides, now in the northern border of Chu State, there is Wu State fighting with it, and there are vassal Don States who do not obey the King of Chu, and there are vassal Hu States taking advantage of the weakness of Chu State to take refuge in Wu State and wantonly annex neighboring Chu Yi. Dun and Hu just blocked the way for the Chu division to go north to the Song State, and the king of Chu couldn't even send troops to suppress the Don State and the Hu State, let alone Song Hu? ”

Le Wei opened his mouth, feeling that what Zhao Wuxian said still made sense, but he asked again: "What about Qi and Wu?" ”

Zhao Wuxian has his own self-confidence: "As long as I still control Jishui, Pushui, and Wudao for a day, the people of Qi will definitely not be able to send a single soldier to the Song Kingdom!" ”

"As for Wu Guo...... King Wu has the ambition to go north, and the prince of Wu is also the son-in-law of the Duke of Song. I just don't know, is he an enemy? Is it a friend? ”
