warring states careerist

Chapter 323 Is it as good as before to use strength to restore the country ([-])
Relying on the control of Pengpei and other places in Surabaya in the First World War against Vietnam, the key is not to control Teng State, but to disable Yue State's mobile field forces in the subsequent counterattack of Yue State.

Relying on the deterrence of the State of Qi and the nobles of Wu to force the State of Yue to retreat to the south, if he does not withdraw to the south, he will have to fight against the Mo family and the State of Qi without losing his homeland. .

After listening to Shi's plan, Mozi praised: "It's a good plan. In the name of Teng's old nobles and rejuvenation, it will benefit them to save the people of Teng. The people of Yue can't directly attack Song, so they send troops It will only attack Teng Di violently."

"How long will it take to strengthen Fujidi's city defense with the way you defended in Niu Lanyi, with the tools and manpower here in Pei County?"

This is the old lair of the Mohists, so it is naturally different from places like Niu Lanyi.

We need people, we need tools, we need people's support, we need organization and organization.

After a rough calculation, he said, "Three months is enough. Not to mention that the Yue people have no guns, their methods of attacking the city... that's all."

Mozi smiled. The reason why the King of Yue attached so much importance to the Mohist School was because of Gongshuban’s improved weapons, warships and siege methods that the Yue people were helpless in the lower reaches of the Huai River.

Moreover, the level of chariot soldiers in the Yue Kingdom is very poor, and the elite are the gentlemen's infantry. Even if the Mohists choose to fight the Yue people on the plains, they may not necessarily lose to the Yue people.

If it is possible to rely on Teng land to build city defenses, the country of Yue should not be able to get cheap.

Qin Huali heard this and said: "Since this is the case, now we need to hoard food, prepare weapons, and hurry up to practice. In addition, we need to contact those old nobles from Teng country, and at the same time, we have to go to Qi country to meet Tian brothers."

"After all this is prepared, we will send troops in the spring of next year. During this period, it depends on the situation of the struggle between Jin and Chu. If the people of Jin still insist on joining the prince, then Jin, Chu and Zheng will not be concerned with the people of Qi, and the people of Qi can also deter the Yue people." country."

Shi nodded and said: "There is only one thing, we need to get rid of it. The restoration of the country may not be beneficial to the world, but the promotion of Mohism's rules and techniques in Teng will be considered beneficial to the world."

"Teng Shuyu contacted Jiugui in Teng. These people need to contact them, after all, they need to borrow their blood. But we also need to be careful...don't talk to them about what to do after the restoration of the country. We can't help them restore the country. If you want them to own the fief Lutian, how can they benefit the people of Teng? It’s nothing more than replacing the Yue people with Tenggui, and it doesn’t make a difference.”

Everyone naturally understood the difference, and laughed one after another: "It's natural, if this is not clear, isn't our Mohism no different from those warlike kings?"

Mozi thought for a moment, and said: "Since this is the case, the affairs of Pei County are considered stable now, and there is no accident. Shi Youzao said that the 'salt drying method' can benefit the world, and at the same time, it will benefit my Mohist family."

"Furthermore, since it is said that Qi Lin needs the seaweed to burn ashes to get alkali, this time I will go to Qi as an envoy, let Shi take people there. How about it?"

The method of drying salt has been talked about for several years, but there is no chance to use it before, and the idea of ​​fighting for the Surabaya Huaihe River from the Yue Kingdom has long been set, so it is impossible to choose to do this in Yuedi.

The economy of Qi was developed, and the Tian brothers broke the Guanshanhai policy of Guan Zhong's era, and the Guanzi school was very powerful in Qi, which was suitable for the Mohists to start a large-scale handicraft industry such as "the government is divided into three and the wealthy people get seven".

Although there are rumors that the Susha family began to dry salt in the Shennong era, it is estimated that this should be a legend. At this time, people did not know how to use solar energy to reduce the consumption of firewood.

Even though there are many barren mountains at this time, the method of boiling salt is still expensive. The Mohists need not only their own salt, but also seaweed ash for subsequent development such as linlin glass, and they need to prepare now for the development of the seaside.

However, Shi is not willing to do this.

If he traveled to Qi, it would take another year at least, and he didn't want to leave the foundation of the Mo family for too long.Furthermore... Mo Zi is a bit old, and when he leaves at this time, Shi is also worried that he will not be around when Mo Zi dies.

Although everyone knows that this event is of great significance, compared with directly participating in the war against Vietnam and subsequent construction, after all, too few people know about it.

This matter is not only Mozi's suggestion, but also Mozi's consideration, lobbying for envoys to adapt to changing circumstances and technological changes, Shishi is the best candidate.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Juzi, it's not appropriate for me to go. I suggest that Hu Feizi go."

"First of all, Hu Feizi is from Qi, and he has an old relationship with Chen Tian. After Hu Gongman and his son Fei, he took Hu Fei as his family, and Chen Tian was also his family. Chen Guo was destroyed, Hu Feizi's ancestors moved to Qi State, and Hu Feizi lived in Linzi Also famous."

"Secondly, I don't need to do the methods of drying salt, grass and ash myself. I can explain the principles to the craftsmen and train some Mohists. They can do this well, and it can't be done overnight."

"Thirdly, the use of firearms, stirrup cavalry, how do these cooperate? How to form an formation? I know a little bit. It is better for me to stay here than to go to Qi to do this."

After explaining the reason, Mozi thought for a while and said: "Well, that's right, it's just that Hu Feizi's eloquence is not as good as yours. When I mentioned this, I thought of you first, but I forgot about the things here. It seems that I can't do without you."

Hearing what Mozi said, Shi was secretly delighted, and hastily added: "Hu Feizi is going to Linzi. He also experienced the battle of Niulanyi, so he can do some things by the way."

"Going to Linzi, you can walk slowly. From Teng to Yue Kingdom, pass through Yuedu Langya, and enter Qi with great fanfare."

"Back then, Gongshang visited Youyue, and many Mohists had met the king of Yue. It was just a good time to test the truth of the Yue people... Or, let the Yue people think... that the matter of Teng Fuguo was a conspiracy between the Qi people and us!"

After he finished speaking, Mozi suddenly understood and said with a smile, "Wonderful!"

Going to Qi State this time is not at all talking about mobilizing Qi State to attack the Yue people. Qi State is temporarily unable to expand outwards, so it can only be "deterrence".

Mozi thought to himself, if, as Shi said, the Mo family was allowed to pass through Langya, the capital of the Yue State, and enter the Qi territory with great fanfare, and then the Mo family suddenly attacked Teng from here, what would the Yue Congress think?
The State of Yue will definitely think that it is the State of Qi who is behind the push, or at least that the State of Qi is aware of the situation.At that time, even if Qi Guo didn't do anything, the scapegoat will be blamed.

Langya is right next to the state of Qi, and it is impossible for the Yue people not to take into account the movements of the state of Qi.At that time, troops will be allocated to guard against Qi, and the number of Yue people going to Teng will not be too many.

After all, the king of Yue is unlikely to attach too much importance to the Mohists, and after all, Qi is still a big country over the head of the Yue people, and there is also the humiliation of participating in the ride and the resentment between the two cities a few years ago.

After the rest of the people present also tasted it, Qin Huali said: "Well, it's appropriate to say this, I also thought of a plan."

"Since Hu Feizi defended Niulanyi with Shi and Meng Sheng, he also knows the battle situation in Niulanyi. The news of relying on our books has also spread throughout Linzi, and the Qi State must also want to use this to guard against border towns."

"Qi has an alliance with the Three Jins, and the Great Wall in the Yin section cannot be repaired. But to threaten the Yue people, the Qi people are planning to use the Mohist's city defense techniques and defense equipment."

"From Jucheng to Langya, the Qi people have been worried about the Yue people going north. This is also an argument that can convince Tian."

"If the people of Qi are only building defensive walls, in the eyes of the people of Yue, this is also a proof that they are working with us to regain the land of Teng. The people of Yue will panic at that time, and it is impossible to give up Langya and go to the land of Teng with all their strength."

The Great Wall of Qi State was built early. Before Linqiu Sanjin defeated Qi, the covenant clearly stipulated that the Great Wall in the Pingyin section should not be maintained, in order to facilitate the next crusade by the Jin people.

The Qi people have not recovered their vitality now, so this condition must be obeyed, and they dare not violate it.However, Langya, the capital of Yue State, is not within the scope of the covenant, and only a few dozen miles away from Langya is the Great Wall defended by Qi State.

Even if Qi Guo's actions are only defensive, Yue Ren will feel very uncomfortable.

Although there is no stronghold in the Mo family in Langya, and the king of Yue may not know about the battle in Niu Lanyi, but...the king of Yue and the Mo family have old relationships, so there is something to be said.

If he doesn't know, tell him.

In this way, once Qi State builds the city wall, Yue people will think that Mo Zhe is helping, and that they are helping Qi people complete the defense like Niu Lanyi. How can they not panic at that time?

No matter Hu Feizi's background, qualifications, or experience, he was enough to complete this matter, and the appropriate proposal was approved by everyone.

After confirming that Hu Feizi went north to Linzi, he went to Tengdi with some people to check the situation in Tengdi, and met Teng Shuyu and other old nobles of Tengguo by the way.

It is not difficult for the current Mohists to capture Tengdi, not to mention now, when there were only a few hundred Mohists a few years ago, as long as the nobles of Tengdi cooperate, it is easy to defeat the guarding Yueren. It's just to block Yue's counterattack and retaliation.

Furthermore, in Shi's opinion, it would be better for these old nobles of Teng Kingdom to die. It would be fine to leave only a few marionettes, so this requires the Mohist family to have sufficient military strength.

The capital of Teng State is not far from Peixian County. It is only a hundred miles from Teng Township to the east. They share the same language and people are familiar with each other, and Teng State is just a country of a hundred miles.

A group of people approached Tengcheng within two days, and took a look at it from a distance. The city of Teng is not big and not high.

Not to mention a big city like Shangqiu, which is ten meters high and expands the city wall to the extreme without violating the etiquette system, even Luyang is not comparable to Tengcheng.

After visual inspection, the circumference of the city wall is estimated to be about eight miles, and there is an inner city inside.

The city wall is not too high, and under the rule of the Yue people, the nobles are not very cooperative. It has not been repaired for more than ten years, and the rammed earth structure is easy to climb.

Tengcheng has the same standard as most cities at this time. In the northwest corner is the cemetery of the nobles of the Teng Kingdom. After all, the north is the country of souls.

The Jinghe River and the Xiaojing River surround Tengcheng from the northeast corner, and there is a moat outside the west wall, and there are no other defensive facilities.

Shi looked at the soil quality of the city wall and felt that it would take very little effort to break through the city.
