Chapter 312 Brilliant Stars and Myriad Bone Relics ([-])

The carriage came slowly, and there was a commotion in the camp immediately, and many people gathered around to watch.

The man in the car only said loudly: "The Mohists take benefiting the world as their own responsibility, and they are running for the world's soldiers. Today's battle, the corpses piled up between the trenches. The weather is hot, and they are afraid of being eaten by insects and ants. The soul cannot return home. Therefore, the Mohists Go to the Jinzheng camp, communicate with the Chu people, and send people to collect the corpses before dark..."

The man was holding a banner on the car, not afraid, but also bold. Zheng Shibing, who had seen Mohist in the capital, shouted: "Is your Mohist trying to help the king of Chu?"

The man in the car said with a smile: "The Mo family only benefits the world. No matter whether it is the king of Chu or the Marquis of Wei, as long as the Mo family judges it according to the will of heaven, if it can benefit the world, they will help each other. It is not to help the king of Chu, but to benefit the world. If one day , Zheng Guo was bullied by a big country, of course the Mohist will also help with weapons and equipment, and help repair the city defense."

He bypassed the real role played by Mo Zhe in Niu Lanyi, he only talked about the truth, and he took the initiative to talk about the matter of collecting the corpse and returning it to the soul, which also won the favor of everyone, and the soldiers all looked sideways.

Young Master Chi and others had long guessed that Mohists were controlling the city, but it was meaningless to say such things at this time.

He also knew that the Mohist would die without hesitation, and his words were fierce. After knowing that this was an envoy, he was afraid that the Mohist family would take advantage of the situation to publicize, so he hurriedly asked people to welcome him into the account, and he didn't make any verbal disputes, but only asked why he came.

The Mohist repeated what he had just said, never mentioning that the commander of Niu Lanyi was the Mohist, and the Mohist, as a mediator, communicated with Chu, Jin, and Zheng with a neutral attitude, and let the Jinzheng coalition forces collect the corpses , It is also convenient for those dead soldiers to return to their souls.

By the way, there are priests in the Mohist family, and the Mohist can do these rituals such as calling the soul back to the soul. After all, they are all people in the world, and they are treated equally in the eyes of the Mohist.

Young Master Chi also knew that the Mo family would not cheat on this matter, and also knew that the Mo family had already made a loud noise about this matter, so it was inevitable that the soldiers would resent him if he did not allow it.

Then he asked how to do it, and the Mohist took out some Mohist flags, and said that in the evening, they would go to the city with the Mohist flags, and the city would not be attacked, and the party collecting the corpses would not be allowed to carry weapons, etc.

Young Master Chi also agreed, and accepted the banner of the Mo family. When the Mohist left, Young Master Chi couldn't help but said: "After you go back, tell the 'Chu people' guards that I will destroy the city!"

But the man replied calmly: "My lord has fought an unjust battle, whether you break the city or not, it is already unjust. If you break the city, please don't kill more."

After answering indifferently and neither humble nor overbearing, he left without saying anything harsh.

In the evening, 2000 people from the Shanxi-Zhengjiang coalition army went to the city wall to collect the corpses without weapons and with the flag sent by the Mohists.

It is also strictly forbidden to shoot arrows at the top of the city, looking at the banner of the Mo family below, I am secretly happy.

The city cannot be attacked at night, and there is no slack in the city. With today's success in defending the city, morale is boosted, and more things like waiting for the end of the city to petition Lu Yang.

On the second day, the Jinzheng coalition forces did not move, and it seemed that they were preparing siege equipment.

For two days in a row, the drums sounded again in the early morning of the fourth day. I knew that today should be the most dangerous day. As long as I can hold out today, I can continue to defend.

…………

The capital of the state of Zheng.

The army gathered, and Zheng Jun, who was originally in Yuguan, quietly returned to the division and was gathering.

Sizi Yang, who was in power, tried his best to gather troops and take advantage of the opportunity of the Zheng-Jin coalition to attack Chu, and besieged Yangdi, the capital of South Korea.

Yangdi is only three or five days away from Zhengdu. Now the main force of the Korean army is divided into two parts, and one part is in the area of ​​Huangchi Yongqiu, an enclave in the east of South Korea. It is ready to attack Daliang City of Chu State.

The other part was concentrated in Xiangcheng and Chengfu to prevent the troops from Ye, Wuyang, Kunyang and other counties of Chu State from counterattacking South Korea, and made a posture to prevent the Chu people here from going to Luyang for support.

Si Ziyang is convinced that as long as he raids the capital of South Korea this time, he will succeed.

It is not necessary to kill South Korea, Zheng Guo does not have this ability.

But it can force South Korea to sign a covenant, and at the same time increase personal prestige. After all, the blood feud between Zheng and Han is the basis for Si Ziyang's ruling.

He was sure that the Wei people could only mediate and would not help South Korea send troops to attack Wei.Because Wang Ziding is still in the capital of Zheng State, Wei State needs Wang Ziding and the support of Zheng State.

Moreover, Wei State wants hegemony, which is a long-term strategy to make Chu State chaos. It is impossible to tolerate the war between Zheng and Han at this time, and it will definitely mediate in the play to promote the alliance.

This is not considered to be an attack on an ally, it must be considered an official business in the world, and Zheng Han himself has a private enmity with the monarch, and he is clearly divided between public and private.

This can be regarded as a famous teacher, and it can be said morally.

As for the side teacher who goes deep into Chu and cooperates with the prince, Si Ziyang is not worried.With the young master attacking there, the state of Wei will not let Zheng and Han fight, and will definitely keep the two sides at peace.

South Korea put its capital in Yangzhai, and made it clear that it was preparing to attack Zheng Guo, because South Korea had no room for development except to expand towards Zheng Guo, which Si Ziyang knew very well in his heart.

Si Ziyang's purpose is very clear. Taking advantage of the opportunity that Wei State needs the prince to settle the dispute between Zheng and Han, he besieged the capital city of South Korea to force an alliance, and then sent troops eastward, taking advantage of the time when Chu State had no time to take care of it. , Connecting Zheng Guo's Suanzao, Yangwu, Guiling and other enclaves together.This is the only feasible space for Zheng Guo to develop, otherwise he will be locked up by the three Jin and Chu sooner or later.

To the west, there is no room for Zheng Guo to expand, so it is not easy to fight against Zhou Tianzi, which is self-defeating.

After all, the etiquette system is still there, and the Three Jins have just been named Marquis, so he always wants to give Zhou Tianzi some kindness, maybe he can't wait for such an excuse for the righteousness of the world.

Once the plan is successful, Si Ziyang can immediately announce his support for the Mohist Central Plains Alliance of Soldiers, and still win the support of the Mohists as a victim of a weak state and a small country.

Today, more than [-] Zheng Guo elites are gathered in the capital, marching lightly, trying to cross Yingshui as quickly as possible, and directly besiege Yangzhai, South Korea, so that the Koreans have no time to react.

It would be best if the Koreans are in league with Jung Sung.If not, then defeat Yangdi and force the Koreans to form an alliance.

At worst, you can wait until the Wei people come forward to mediate.At this time, Wei Guo is the last person who wants Zheng people to jump back, and Wei Guo is also quite dissatisfied with South Korea's expansion in Zheng Guo. South Korea got Zheng, or has the ability to challenge Wei Guo's hegemony.

Now the three Jin brothers are not in the same heart, even if the Zhao people are friendly on the surface, but this time they sent troops to attack Chu, it is already a turn of events, and they are not willing to be the pawns of the Wei people in the expansion of the Central Plains, and they are not willing to help the Wei country to become bigger. hegemony.

Once the Chu people decline, it is hard for the Koreans to say, but the Wei state has to weaken the Chu state for long-term considerations. Between the dilemma, the attitude of the Zheng people at this time is crucial.

The situation in Zheng State is treacherous, and Si Ziyang knows in his heart that he can only win but not lose.Once they fail, Dazai Xin and Zheng Gong will seize the opportunity to overthrow themselves.

And even though the township school was destroyed after Zichan's death, Zheng people's habit of discussing state affairs remained unchanged, Si Ziyang also knew that Zheng people were dissatisfied with Fachu.

The Zheng-Chu alliance has been relying on the Chu State for many years to suppress the Three Jins, and the Zheng State did not have the ability to fight on two fronts before.

The blood feud with South Korea was able to convince the people of Zheng, so the battle of negative millet defeated the Korean army, and now the crusade against Handu can win the hearts of the people.

It's all a gamble.If Si Ziyang is in power and does not have the heart of a big country, there is no need to gamble.

But he has the ambition to be a big country, but Zheng is small. This time the war between Jin and Chu is the last chance for Zheng Guo in Si Ziyang's view.

How to put it... Zheng Guo was also the prince who shot and wounded Zhou Tianzi for the first time, and his ancestors were also rich.

Therefore, on the day after the Jin-Zheng coalition forces set off to Luyang, a gamble about the future of Zheng Guo and the future of Si Ziyang's family began.

…………

Luyang.

There are scouts from Chu people in the direction of Niu Lan. Duke Lu Yang is aware of the current situation in Niu Lan, and also knows about some changes in Niu Lan, including that his loans and interest were used by the Mo family to buy people's hearts.

He acquiesced.

Because he can really distinguish between major harm and minor harm.Those money interest is certainly a heartache, but this time the Jinzheng coalition army came straight to Luyang, as his fief and foundation, as long as he can keep it, not to mention just some money interest, he is willing to bear no matter how much gold and jade.

The battle of the day before yesterday had been reported to Luyang by the scouts. The Shanxi and Zheng coalition forces failed to attack the city on the first day and suffered heavy losses. They even collected the corpses that day.

Duke Lu Yang believed in the ability of the Mohists to defend the city, but he also had his own considerations.

Since everyone in the Mo family is good at guarding, then I can continue to wait, continue to wait for the Jin Zheng coalition forces to consume their strength, and wait for Niu Lang to shed the last drop of blood.

Then he led Luyang's troops to invite the Jinzheng coalition forces to fight.

He has no reinforcements.

The Chu people in Yecheng, Gaoling, Kunyang and other places refused to support the king. They need to defend their side. If they have the opportunity, they may launch a counterattack against Zheng Han, but they will not give up their cities to support Duke Luyang. .

What's more, there are a large number of fengjuns who sit on the wall to watch the theater. The fengjun and county officials in Shangcai and other places even look forward to the victory of the Jinzheng coalition forces, so that the prince will surely ascend to the throne.Anyway, it is impossible for Jin Zheng to hit them.

And the king of Chu can't send troops to support it now, and the king's division of the king of Chu is directly under the jurisdiction, so he must stay near the capital to deter the nearby lords.

The King of Chu knew the attitude of those lords, and knew that many lords were unreliable, but now he had no countermeasures. Apart from deterring them, he could only wait for the results from Duke Luyang.

It can be said that the eyes of the entire Chu State are focused on the direction of Luyang.

If they win, many lords who are sitting on the wall will turn to support the king of Chu and send troops to fight back.Because now is the most uncomfortable time for the throne, after passing this hurdle, it will always be more stable.

After losing, many county princes and princes immediately jumped back, chanted the slogan of supporting the prince's succession, and directly joined forces with Jin Zheng to force the king of Chu to flee.

Duke Lu Yang understood that now his own, or the entire Chu State's military strength in the direction of the Great Wall is only less than 4 in his hands.

If they win, many county officials and lords will contribute their efforts, and there may be [-] to [-] people fighting Zheng Han.But now when troops are most needed, there are only more than [-] of them.

Duke Lu Yang understood that Niu Lanyi was too small and might not last long.

He also promised Mo Zhe that as long as the Jin-Zheng coalition forces were delayed for ten days, once the enemy was exhausted, he would send troops to fight Jin-Zheng.However...it's one thing to say yes, it's quite another to actually be prepared to do so.

He wanted to wait, the longer the better.Anyway, if Niu Lan is lost, he can get it back again. If the [-] people in his hands lose, his family will be completely destroyed.
