Chapter 255: Jing Song Mi Bing Jun Xin Shaken ([-])

When the young master heard that his father wanted to eliminate the soldiers and make an alliance, he was even more dissatisfied.

Two years ago, I was the commander-in-chief, and the Han and Zhao families met in Pingyin, defeated Jiang Qi, built a capital of [-] people, and the whole world was shaken.

But this kind of martial arts is still a little less legendary than the fact that the Mohists attacked the Chu camp overnight with hundreds of elites to force the king of Chu to form an alliance.

Now that I heard that my father had such a meaning, I got up and said, "Father, Wei now has tens of thousands of armored men, how can he be afraid of hundreds of Mohist? Besides, the methods of the Mohist's night attack have been written, as long as we add Beware, can we repeat the defeat of the Chu people?"

He also thought of Qin Gongzilian's words of persuasion, and said: "Nowadays, the good crops and iron utensils have been innovated, and the lands of Zheng, Wei, Song and other Central Plains are all fertile soil. Now that the soldiers are eliminated, isn't it difficult to get those fertile soil? "

Li Kui stood up and said, "My lord, is your majesty afraid of those hundreds of Mohists? Have you ever heard the fables written by the Mohist?"

"The tiger asked all the beasts to eat them, and he got the fox. The fox said: 'I dare not eat me! The emperor of heaven made me grow all kinds of beasts, and now I eat me. The son goes first, and the son follows me, seeing all the beasts dare not leave when they see me?' The tiger thinks so, so it walks with it; the beasts all go away when they see it. The tiger does not know that the beast is afraid of itself and walks away, thinking that it is afraid of the fox .”

"The Mo family is the fox. The Jin and Chu are the tiger. When the Chu Chengmeng eliminated the soldiers, the one they feared was not Mo, but Jin. The small countries of Qi, Zheng, Wei and Lu are all allies."

"Among the mechanical methods of the Mohists, there is the technique of specimen levers, that's how it is. As the saying goes, a bottle of wine can lift a thousand weights. They are so skillful in using such specimen techniques that people really admire their wisdom. .”

The story of a fox pretending to be a tiger that only appeared during the time of King Xuan of Chu appeared decades earlier, and the original meaning has not been changed. Li Kui's use of the situation is not wrong, which is exactly what it means.

The fox said that the Emperor of Heaven made a hundred beasts grow.The Mohists say that the emperor of heaven made him obtain the will of heaven, and use the will of heaven to judge whether the rules of the world are right or wrong.

In the end, whether or not the Emperor of Heaven exists is a secondary issue. What the other beasts saw was the tiger following the fox, not the Emperor of Heaven that the fox said.

Young Master Chi had no choice but to sit down again, Weiss asked all the officials, "This is a story about a fox pretending to be a tiger, and the Mohists pretended to be the Emperor of Heaven, but no one can refute it."

"Those gunpowder and other sharp weapons for defending the city have been sold to the Chu State. They are only said to be used for defending the city, and Xiong Dang has sworn an oath for the rest of his life not to engage in unjust wars."

"It's over, so what?"

Young Master Chi murmured: "If the troops are dispatched early, the Mo family will have no chance to borrow the prestige of the Chu people."

Weiss shook his head and said, "How early can we send troops? From the perspective of Mohist people, I'm afraid they never wanted to rely on our San Jin to send troops from the very beginning. They may have thought of how to defeat the Chu people when they went to Shangqiu. Think they're 'beneficial to the world'!"

"From the siege of the city in April to the break of the formation in June, within two months, even if we send troops in April, is it possible to rush to Shangqiu to defeat the Chu people?"

Weiss sighed, and rolled up those few pieces of grass. Now there are grasses in the Wei Palace, and he often uses them. Many things of the Mohism have melted into the world like the rain of moistening things.

Li Kui said: "Since the Mohist people spread the word in the marketplace, perhaps after a while, Qin Huali may meet the king in person and facilitate the third alliance to eliminate soldiers."

"I think the words of the Mohists have the meaning of spreading the good seeds of ironware and farming. They want to benefit the world, so it's okay to eliminate the soldiers. The people benefit, and the country is strong. Two seasons a year, the tax doubles, the civilian use doubles, the soldiers use their lives, and the military Pawns can also train more."

"It's hard for the people of Chu to enshrine the emperor and the masses, so it's hard to do anything, but it's still in our favor."

Weiss nodded and said, "I have the same intention."

"There are many Mohists in the Song Dynasty, so there is no need to talk about it in this country."

"Han Wuzi attacked Zheng and killed Duke You. The people of the country set up his younger brother Zheng Tai and vowed to avenge this. A few years ago, he defeated the Han people in the first battle with the millet, and it has not stopped until now."

"The Mohist is like this, and the people of Zheng will be allied. At that time, the Mohist will help the people of Zheng to defend the city, and when the people of Chu come to help, we will work hard to conquer the impoverished city. How can we be undefeated?"

"What's more, Lord Luyang and Lord Yangcheng are brave enough to fight. Chu people can send troops at any time... Zheng people are married to Chu people, and there is a prince. How can Chu people not save them?"

Weiss hadn't dealt with Chu King Xiongdang yet, but from Xiongdang's Northern Expedition, it can be seen that this person must have the heart to dominate the Central Plains, and the timing he chose was excellent.

If the Mohists hadn't created such a legend in Shangqiu, it would have been inevitable for the Chu people to go north this time and attack from Daliang to force the guards to make a pilgrimage.

The three families were divided into Jin, and they were exhausted just now.

And Xiong Dang became famous for his division, although it was to avoid the morale of the army when he defeated Qi, but he could claim to be a benevolent and righteous king: he did not conquest during the mourning period, and the death of Song Gong was exactly three years before he went out. There are not too many questions and criticisms from the outside world.

There are so many kings in Chu, and the county magistrate is powerful, and some things are very quick to deal with: if the Sanjin besieged Zheng, was hindered by the Mohist city defense, and the morale was exhausted, the county magistrates such as Yangcheng Lord and Lu Yanggong would seize the opportunity Rescue troops to fight.

Furthermore, Wei Si also heard people say that Duke Lu Yang treated Mozi with the courtesy of a teacher, and the Mo family had a disciple who made good friends with the son of Lord Yangcheng. Once the opportunity arises, these two people will never miss the opportunity to send troops .

This time, the Mohist leveraged the whole day's situation with the legendary battle, gunpowder terror, and inciting the market, which were not heavy weights.

It sounds a little ridiculous that the third military elimination meeting may actually succeed.

The struggle for hegemony between Jin and Chu is the bipolar power in the world at this time. As long as the two countries restrict each other to achieve a terrorist balance, other countries will join in one after another.

Because the Qin people were beaten and lost in Xihe, they could only retreat, and even the Hangu Pass and Xiaoguan Pass seemed impossible to see in this life; the Qi Guotian regime, Jiang Qi was weak, and had just experienced a big defeat; the Yue people had no chance to get involved in the Central Plains Zhao Guo has long been dissatisfied with the fact that the three Jins joined forces to attack the Central Plains, and he couldn't even drink soup...

Due to various chaotic situations, the Chu people were forced to form an alliance, so the Wei people had no choice but to form an alliance.

Now it seems that the Mohists are only building momentum, and have not formally sent anyone to meet the monarch. This matter can still be discussed.

Since it is necessary to discuss, it is also necessary to consider the opinions of the other important ministers who are not in Anyi to show respect for them.

So Weiss said: "So, let's sort out these and pass them on to Wu Qi, Bei Menke, Ximen Bao, Le Yangzi and others, and ask them what they think?"

…………

Wu Qi in Xihe knew what happened in Shangqiu earlier than the people who sent the letter to Marquis Wei.

After Wei Hou's messenger arrived, he passed the order of Wei Hou and gave Wu Qi many rewards, pearls and jade, and then asked about his opinion on this matter.

Wu Qi was grateful to Weiss for his important use. He was a scholar with a bad reputation, so he could only do his best to repay Weiss' kindness if he could be used so much.

However, a while ago, there was a conflict between him and Young Master Ji about whether to send troops, and he was very disturbed.

The servants who stayed in Anyi spread some rumors about Anyi, which made Wu Qi even more anxious.

Before the Shangqiu incident, there were some rumors in Anyi for some reason.

Wu Qi felt that these rumors were probably spread by Qin Gongzilian and those rebels who were good at words.

Because Wu Qi has also read a lot of Mohism's articles in the past two years, and feels that the theories of these rumors are very consistent with the contradictory theories of Mohism.

Rumors only say: Wu Qi is a scholar, he has no fiefdom, but is just a guardian of Xihe.Therefore, he is a talented person, and he can be a prime minister in any country, because there is no family or land encumbrance.

Now that Li Kui is old, if Wu Qi is not used as chancellor in the future, Wu Qi will surely perish.The four kingdoms of Qi, Qin, Chu and Zhao can all become famous prime ministers.

He also said that he knows how to use soldiers well, and that he must distribute rewards to soldiers, and share joys and sorrows with them, and his heart must be big.As a result, the people of Xihe only knew that there was a guardian of Xihe, but they did not know that there was Marquis Wei.

Besides, Wu Qi, who killed his wife to seek generals, had great ambitions, if he didn't act as a chancellor, he would not be able to stay in Wei for a long time.As a person, he can go anywhere in the world, and so on...

Weiss didn't even mention these rumors. He obviously trusted Wu Qi very much, but Wu Qi knew that Weiss was already seventy, how long would he be in office?
Like Tian Zifang, he is good at knowing people, how can he not know the temperament of Young Master Chi?

It's just that when he sent troops a while ago, in order to repay Weiss' kindness, he had to stick to his own ideas, and everything was for Wei's rise.

He didn't agree to send troops to rescue Song at all, and he didn't want Weiss to care about this meaningless hegemony at all.

Because in Wu Qi's view, times have changed, and it is no longer the Spring and Autumn Period when hegemony was paramount, but the real troubled times of disputes among nations.

So what can I do to save Song?So what if you got Song's imperial appointment?
The mortal enemy of Zheng and Han, if the people of the Song Dynasty were to go to Chu, and the people of Chu had an advantage in Song, Daliang, and Zheng, the pressure would not be Wei, but Han.

The Koreans are the first to bear the brunt, and they have to deal with both Zheng and Chu. At that time, besides sticking to Wei, where else can they survive?

The border between Wei and Chu is nothing but Xihe.

But with the dangers of Xiong'er Mountain, Huashan Mountain, and Kuafu Mountain peach forest, the Chu people had no chance to organize an attack there.

In addition, Wu Qi is also confident that if the Chu people dare to come, he will let the Chu people know the heroes of the soldiers.

In the Central Plains generation, there was still a Wei State between Wei and Song as a buffer. Even if the Song people were forced to go to Chu, they would have two hearts, and the Chu people could not threaten the fertile land of Wei's essence.

But what about South Korea?

They are intertwined with Zheng Guo, and the western front is facing the Nanyang Plain, the essence of Chu State, and Daliang City is like a wedge separating South Korea from two enclaves.

If you want to be the overlord, then it is only natural to save Song.

But if he didn't want to be the overlord, Wu Qi felt that it was completely unnecessary to save Song at this time.

The first to panic at that time must be South Korea. South Korea can't beat Zheng Chu's coalition forces, and they are worried that Zheng Ren will return to his blood feud.

More than ten years later, South Korea can only be a vassal of Wei.

For more than ten years, Wu Qi felt that in the past ten years, he could continue to oppress the Qin people, invade Guanzhong, and weaken the Qin people.

At that time, with regard to the Central Plains, there are South Korean vassals and the wealth of Xihe, so that we can get out of the external and internal mountains and rivers of the Three Jins and attack the Central Plains.

Why do you want to be such a vain overlord?If the people of Chu retreat to the south, the people of Korea must have two hearts!The people of Zhao are watching from behind, waiting for the state of Wei to decline. How can they think about being the overlord at this time?
