The five families led by the Hou family did not want to be Zheng anymore. They wanted to be a Jin person. Whose work was it? With their own strong will, they were pushed by the Yin family and Fan family.

These five families changed their flags and flags, and the large areas near Jin State of Zheng immediately changed their colors. In the era of national borders and borders, Zheng State's national defense would collapse suddenly.

Nowadays, there is no such thing as national boundaries. They use cities to define their spheres of influence, which means there is no such thing as "crossing the line".

Therefore, Shi Yi led a large army south without attacking Zheng's cities. The Jin army could not be considered an invasion of Zheng. It was necessary to attack "city", "country" and "country" to attack the "city", otherwise it would be a kind of passing by.

This is also the reason why Country A repeatedly crossed Country B to attack Country C in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Country B did not think it was violated by Country A.

There is another thing that the Jin army must have to transport supplies from the rear when they go south. The baggage team is not attacked at all, whether in Zheng or Song.

Did the Zheng people or the Song people know where the supply line of the Jin army was? It's not. They were just still abiding by the rules of war.

What rules? Not attacking the supply line of the enemy is just one of them, including not hunting the enemy's messengers, not setting up ambushing in a certain place, not deliberately killing the enemy's nobles, and many other aspects.

Of course, there are also vassal states no longer abide by the rules of war, and represented the State of Wu and Qin, and entered the era of collapse of rituals and music.

Therefore, even without Lu Wu's promotion, many things will actually change in the period of 556 BC.

Yes, the timeline has reached 556 BC. This year, Lu Wu officially entered the fourth year and is already forty years old.

The season of spring is coming, and the war at "Doushou" is about to begin again.

However, the Qi army and the guards successively evacuated the "Doushou" encirclement, and Gong Ziwu later decided to withdraw 50,000 Chu troops to defend the country and assist the war.

Considering the relationship with Wei State and the insistence of Wei State could limit the Jin army of about 100,000, he gritted his teeth and took out 20,000 Song troops from the country to Wei State.

The practices of Chu, Song, Qi and Wei made Zichan feel a little heart-warming.

This is a damn!

Seeing that the "Fighting Head" side was about to start fighting and the military strength was extremely needed to maintain its superiority, it was speechless to go back to defend the country. Qi State did not know how to help the war with Wei State. Chu State and Song State did not want to defeat the Jin army commanded by Shi Yi before the local reinforcements of Jin State came. They would play a big role in division of troops!

Zichan tried his best to persuade him but still failed to reverse the decisions of a group of brainless people, and he fell into a state of extreme psychological anxiety for a moment.

When a rebellion broke out in Zheng State, should we say that, should we also draw troops from the side of besieging the "Douzhao" to suppress the rebellion?

Once the Zheng army retreats, will the coalition forces, which were already in a low morale, be disbanded on the spot?

Later, the Shiyi helped the coalition forces stabilize the situation because the Jin army took the lead in launching an attack on the coalition forces.

Of course, it was not that suddenly that Shi Yi sent people to the coalition camp and invited the coalition forces to set up their formation on which day and at what time, fighting a dignified battle between the two sides.

The guards, Qi army and 50,000 Chu army left the field, leaving behind 50,000 Chu army, 40,000 Song army, 40,000 Zheng army, 20,000 Wu army, as well as Chen, Cai, Tang, Shen, Fan, Li, Hu... and other countries combined about 13,000 troops.

What is the current situation of this "Fighting Head"? In terms of the number of troops, there are more than 160,000 coalition forces, while the number of Jin troops is about 140,000. The difference between the two sides is only compared with the troops.

The Jin army invites war, can the Zheng army still retreat?

Zichan didn't know what the nobles in other countries thought in the coalition. He really hoped to defeat Jin, and if he could not defeat it, he would maintain a even situation.

Reality once again teaches the coalition forces to be human!

On the first day, the Jin army dispatched the 37,500-man chariot from the Fan family, which was the organization of the Jin "army" to invite the battle.

Gongziwu took on the heavy responsibility of the first battle as a matter of nobility and dispatched 50,000 men and cars, which means all the Chu troops left in the "Doushou", which are equivalent to the four "armys" organized by Zhou Li, and are considered to be full of them.

Both sides set out to form a formation at Chenshi, and fought at Chenshi, beating drums at four o'clock. The Jin and Chu troops who entered the state of war were sweating and blood flowing. Every breath was caused by a formation; the rest of the people who did not enter the state of war, either stayed in the camp, and could also be lined outside the camp and exerted their cheers.

The battle was still difficult to resolve until noon. The two sides agreed to stop the battle temporarily and go back for a short rest and replenish the water. It would be fine to eat.

"There are less than 30,000 soldiers from our army..." Gongziwu felt very distressed, and was extremely distressed, but he couldn't show his heartache. He said with an excited expression: "The returnees from the Jin army are less than 30,000."

ah?

The Chu army dispatched 50,000 men and cars, which meant that about 20,000 soldiers were thrown on the battlefield.

The Jin army had 37,500 men and cars, and about 30,000 people were lost to about 7,500 when they returned.

What's the point of being proud of if you fight one to one or more, and you're faster than one to two?

Gongziwu gave the answer: "Our army 4 became the new member last year, and the Fan family of the Jin army was a long-term battle."

That "Battle of Gao" caused heavy losses to the Chu army. The minimum number of veterans of domestic nobles who could return alive was less than 20%, and the better ones were only retained by about 40%.

This is why the Jin army showed off their power in "Ying" and even went to drink from Ma Dajiang, and the Chu State pretended to be ostrich!

In the past two years, the king of Chu, namely Xiong Zhao, used huge sums of money to arm the "left and left and right", not only restored the full 5,000-person cars, but even expanded to the scale of 8,000-person cars, which immediately emptied the savings of several generations of Chu Jun.

Chu Junxiong Zhao would not only strictly demand himself, but also require domestic aristocrats to expand their private army and strengthen their military equipment. They are working hard to avenge their shame and revenge.

Given that the Chu nobles were very good at playing and often pulled farmers or barbarians to make up the numbers, there were orders to expand the army, and there were really not enough warriors, so they would definitely pull more farmers or barbarians to make up the numbers.

This situation was exposed by some ministers who were determined to take revenge and captured some typical cases. It was considered that the stingy and thoughtful nobles not only needed to restrain themselves, but also lost money to train farmers or barbarians and then equipped them.

The process may be full of twists and turns, but the goal of Chu's state to strengthen the national military force was achieved.

They don’t know what impact they will have on doing so for the time being, and the results are reflected in the “fighting of the head”.

Of course, Gongziwu knew the battle loss ratio, and could not resist seeing the results. Exciting is real excitement, not self-hypnosis.

The king and minister of Chu who were almost forced into a corner did not know anything. They had long created the example of pulling farmers to raise their heads, and even launched a large-scale act of arming farmers to take them to the battlefield.

So doing this is certainly increasing the forces that the country can use, the scale of war will inevitably expand again and again. It will become the norm for farmers to go to the battlefield after very little training or even without training. Zhuxia is no longer in a state where war has nothing to do with non-professional soldiers.

Did Fan really lose more than 7,000 soldiers? Actually, it didn’t.

After a battle, the Fan family did not die in battle at all, and the Fan family's soldiers discovered a situation where it was easier for the Chu soldiers fighting today than before.

How easy is that? The Fan soldiers who came to the battle personally found that some of the Chu soldiers were timid before they fought. Their movements were very clumsy, and they didn't even know how to avoid attacks, which seemed to be extremely lacking in practical experience.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with it? Not to mention the farmer who has very short training time, even the serious warrior house has no experience in participating in the war. The difference is that the mentality of professional soldiers will be more stable than that of farmers, and the psychological pressure they can withstand is not the same.

"Maybe I don't have to wait for Yuanrong to come to help, I can defeat the enemies." Shi Yi's confidence suddenly expanded when he learned about the comparison between his casualties and the enemy.

Shi Yi was a central army assistant, mainly because the Fan family was very powerful, so he naturally took over the command after coming to "Doushou".

The position of the noble in Jin State has been decided to change, and the position of the noble has been set internally, but it has not been actually implemented yet.

Therefore, the ranking of the positions is still the same.

However, even if the position of the noble will change, Jie Shuo will still serve as the lower general.

Because the position of the noble has not changed officially, Han Qi, who will definitely become a subordinate of the army, is still just a new military officer.

The new army did not participate in this national war. Han Qi temporarily held the position of "Sima". His voice must be incomparable to being a "Qing".

Jie Shuo said: "The Yuan Rong will lead the army to come in less than a month. Then again, if the princes rebel against me, how can they be punished if they defeat me? It is better to let them come again to reinforce and annihilate them together."

Of course, the scholar knows this truth. What is a little uncomfortable is that when Lu Wu comes, honor and glory will be returned to Lu Wu again.

Shi Yi glanced at Jie Shuo with dissatisfaction, but he didn't say much.

There is no way!

Jie Shuo is Lu Wu’s first trait, so who doesn’t know?

In the past, Shi Yi would show his dissatisfaction directly. As the situation changed repeatedly, especially the Yin family easily destroyed the Wei family, which made Shi Yi feel quite afraid.

The bigger reason is that Shi Yi wants far more now than before. Dominating the southern border of Jin State can no longer satisfy his ambitions. To achieve greater ambitions, it requires cooperation from the Yin family.

What ambition? The princes of Jin State are finished, and it is only a matter of another kick before they are completely finished.

If the Fan family can dominate the southern border, if they can invade more cities of Zheng, considering that the Duke of Jin has lost power, the Yin family, Fan family and Xun family are so powerful, can they hold "names" and "utensils" in their hands?

Why did Shi Yi see this level?

There is a routine, such as when you meet an old man with a fairy-like spirit, you will find that he has great luck during a conversation; you can also offer fresh fish, and find that there are jade inscribed words in the fish's belly; you can also find that there are some strolls and find that a stone is actually carved with words like Fan.

Who wouldn’t encounter some strange things if you accomplish great things?

Then, what should I do?
