Chapter 342 Tian Yuan Forced to Merge the Corner ([-])
July day.

It's raining, not too much rain, but we can't start work, and the specific tasks are assigned.

In the morning, Shi has already finished teaching those children who followed him. These children who followed him have basically learned the level of the first grade of junior high school, and some subjects may be slightly higher.

In the afternoon, I was in the house, a few Mohists were chatting there, and I followed Qu Jiang to learn how to play Go.

At this time there was already a game of Go, named Yi, with similar rules, the difference being that at this time there were [-] vertical and horizontal circles instead of [-] vertical and horizontal circles.

The various rules are basically the same as those of later generations, and it can be regarded as not much entertainment at this time.

Lu Hua and the others were knocking sunflower seeds, watching Shi and Qu playing chess, or listening to the sound of rain outside.

Someone was reading there, and Teng Houjite also turned around, greeted everyone, and then asked them about his [-]-acre Lutian leasehold.

At least in this room, there really is no distinction between high and low.

While chatting, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and several people came in wearing coir raincoats. The guards outside did not stop them, obviously they were their own people.

Shi Shi was holding a chess piece from Tenghou's palace and was wondering where to play it, but without looking up, he heard a person say: "Tengguo Xiangbang, you are really interested in taking a break here, Pei County is busy." died……"

It was the voice of Shi Jiatun who was in charge of the property of the Mohist family. When he came back to his senses, General Qu got up to say hello, only then did he realize that there was a grandson behind Shi Jiatun.

Grandson Gao is one of the Seven Enlightenment Hazards, and he knew that something might be wrong, but he finally felt relieved seeing everyone smiling.

Lu Hua hurriedly said: "I'm going to get some food, drink the batter with chili, and warm up."

She left in a hurry, and Wu Mabo and others also greeted Teng Hou Jite symbolically. Teng Hou knew that the Mo family had something to discuss, so he left.

A few people sat at the table, and those in the room were of sufficient level, or they were the appropriate guards assigned by the Mo family, and there was no need to avoid others.

"What happened?"

Gao Sunzi said: "You just got the news, you can read it for yourself."

After finishing speaking, he grinded out a bamboo tube from his arms, handed it to Shi, and then said: "This time, Shi Jiatun came here to count the consumption of materials and escort the ironware; It is also the Mohism's rule to share administration with you here for the time being."

Shi nodded, expressing his understanding, Meng Sheng left, there must be someone with a high enough level to be with him, his Xiangbang is a top name, it is useless, his real identity is the candidate Wuhai of the Mo family.

Opening the bamboo tube and looking at it, a happy expression almost appeared on his face, but he managed to hold it back.

The letters in the bamboo tube are all the information collected by the Mo family in the Central Plains, and they have all been sorted out.

Not long ago, the State of Chu officially announced that because the Three Jins had not joined the Covenant to Eliminate Soldiers, Chu State announced its withdrawal and would no longer abide by the Covenant to Eliminate Soldiers made with the Mohists.

The three-year deadline has expired, and the Chu State accused the Three Jins of not withdrawing troops for the benefit of the world, which led to their withdrawal.

San Jin also accused Chu State of being the country that was unwilling to withdraw troops, and reiterated that it did not recognize the legitimacy of Chu King Xiongyi.

It can be seen that whether it is the Jin Dynasty or the Chu State, they at least respect the Mohists on the bright side.The battle between Shangqiu and Niu Lanyi made Jin and Chu not ready to oppose the Mohists openly, fearing that the Mohism would be forced to the hostile side, and the situation of the Mohists had already opened.

Otherwise, if it weren't for the fact that the Mohist's technology is too terrifying and out of date, no one would care about the truth that the world's soldiers are benefiting the world, and they would just treat it as a fart.

At the same time, the Mo family came forward, fulfilled their original promise with the Zheng people, persuaded the king of Chu, and released the captured [-] Zheng army, and at the same time released the Qimu nobles who led the army.

In fact, Chu State also wanted to release these people at all, but the Mohists still took a formality. Everyone in Zheng praised the Mohist's righteous deeds, and they were very proud of the behavior of avoiding the war under Niu Lanyi.

However, Dazai Xin and Zheng Gong of the State of Zheng had also reached a secret agreement with the State of Chu. After the 4 people were released, a coup took place in the capital of the State of Zheng.

Si Ziyang, who was in power in the state of Zheng, was killed by an assassin, and [-] prisoners of Zheng state who were released chanted the slogan "refuse to go to war with Chu", which had an impact on Si Ziyang's mansion. After being instigated by the nobles, the family of Si Ziyang was wiped out .

In fact, this incident was not simply caused by the war against Chu, but that the people of Zheng State were already dissatisfied with Si Ziyang's ruling policy.

Si Ziyang's ruling is too strict, which has the meaning of the Qin law decades later. For example, if the craftsmen who make bows and arrows fail to pay the military tax for bows and arrows within the time limit, they will be punished by corporal punishment.

In fact, the assassin who assassinated Si Ziyang also used the name of "I am a craftsman, I can't finish the work, I will die anyway, it is better to kill Si Ziyang".

Of course, this assassin was sent by Dazai Xin and Zheng Gong, but it is enough to see how strict Si Ziyang is in power.

He learned the strictness of Zichan back then, but he didn't learn the slackness of Zichan back then. Zheng's economy is developed and there are rural school organizations, which can easily arouse the dissatisfaction of the citizens.

Zheng Gong and Dazai Xin came forward to appease the people, and concluded a covenant with Chu, recognizing the legal status of the Chu king, and promised not to allow the prince to re-enter Zheng.

Although Si Ziyang's clan was exterminated, his party members conspired in Zhengdi, and the conflict between Dazai Xin and Zheng Gong began to intensify because of Si Ziyang's death.

The Qimu Si family originally had a large number of fiefdoms, and Si Ziyang came to power precisely because his number of fiefdoms could suppress the rest of Qimu, and the reason why he came to power was because of Han Wuzi's hatred for killing Zheng Gong.

He didn't do anything wrong strategically. If all goes well, Zheng Guo has obtained the territory of Chu State and relied on Wei State to conclude a treaty with South Korea.

It's just that he overestimated his own strength, and also miscalculated the dissatisfaction of the people, and ended up with the end of a family being wiped out.

Zheng Gong and Dazai Xin did not care about the possible chaos of Zheng State at all. Although Si Ziyang died, his party members were still numerous. , Zheng Guo has a risk of being divided into three.

All the nobles or Ziyang party members are frantically contacting the Mohists, hoping to buy firearms to defend the city. Several parties are ready to break up and split, and each is looking for a backer.

Si Ziyang's party members secretly found Wei Guo, hoping that Wei Guo would come forward to question Si Ziyang's killing, and promised that their faction would stand on the side of Sanjin.

Later, the State of Wei sent troops to show off its power through the land of the State of Zheng, in order to deter the State of Zheng. Zheng State was not allowed to unilaterally negotiate peace with the State of Chu, or at least not allow the State of Zheng to form an alliance with the State of Chu.

Wei Guo sent [-] troops to pass through Yangwu, and stationed in the fief of Si Ziyang's party feathers. Zheng Guo was not allowed to interfere with the fiefdom of Si Ziyang's party feathers, and at the same time launched a counterattack against Chu State.

In order to gain the support of Chu State, Dazai Xin and Zheng Gong ceded Linyi and returned Yuguan to Chu State. At the same time, they relocated [-] households and donated them to Chu State. They dispatched farmers to help Chu State build Wuyang City, but they did not agree with Chu State. Form an alliance, but fulfill their responsibilities in the form of a truce treaty, and dare not directly anger the three Jins.

After resting in Yangwu, the Wei division immediately went south, crossed the Pu River, and besieged Changling and Tianjin in Chu State.

It was breached within a month, the entire army of Chu Changling was wiped out, and Lord Changling was captured.

So far, [-] Wei troops have been stationed in Changling, which is only across a river from Daliang City, the border city of Chu State.As long as Daliang City is broken, the gate of Chu State in the Central Plains will be opened, and Chu State is greatly panicked.

On the one hand, they continued to strengthen the defense of Daliang City, and on the other hand, they sent Lord Ping Ye and [-] troops to attack Gao City where Wei Guo was stationed, as revenge for the destruction of Changling's division.

Although Chu State finally captured Gaocheng, it suffered heavy losses.

This battle exposed the weakness of Chu State, but on the surface it seemed that they could still fight back and forth with Wei State, but in fact they had already been wedged into Chongyi at the door of their house.

At the same time, the situation within Sanjin has basically stabilized.

After Zhao Ji's death, a series of coups took place in Zhao State. Because Zhao Ji's son was still young, Zhao Ji's younger brother won in the end and took over the government on his behalf.

This was the result of a compromise. Zhao Ji's younger brother did not change his Yuan, just like Zhou Gong assisted Cheng Wang's routine, but it also laid the groundwork for Zhao's domestic turmoil.

Zhao Ji's son is alive, and Zhao Ji's younger brother also has a son, and the foreshadowing of Zhao's internal turmoil has been planted at this time.Weiss stepped forward and began to secretly win over Zhao Ji's younger brother.

He hoped to maintain the Three-Jin Alliance. Zhao Ji's younger brother wanted to stabilize his rule and pave the way for his son, so he could only agree to Weiss' conditions. After the alliance, the two parties expressed that they would continue to abide by the Three-Jin Alliance.However, some nobles in the country of Zhao were very dissatisfied with the Three Jin Alliance, just because Zhao Ji's son was still young, so he could only endure it for the time being.

After Weiss made an alliance with Zhao Guoguo, there was also news from Qin State that Qin State hoped to recuperate, hoped for a truce, and would not use troops against Hexi again.

After the two sides were settled, the State of Wei broke through Changling and Jin of the State of Chu, and while capturing Lord Changling, it also demonstrated the fighting power of the State of Wei, and the troops went straight to the gate of the Central Plains of the State of Chu.

Under the tremendous changes in the situation, South Korea, which was originally prepared to wait and see, quickly made a choice.

Weiss supported Han Qian's son's accession to the throne, and Han Qu appointed his uncle Xia Lei as his prime minister in order to stabilize the nobles in the country.

At the same time, a coup took place in Zheng Guo, and South Korea's expansion direction was no longer that of Zheng Guo, who was in power and could compete with South Korea, but Zheng Guo, a coup d'état that was about to split.

So Han Qu immediately sent someone to express his willingness to support the Three-Jin Alliance, and reached a secret agreement with Wei State after Wei State broke Chu's Changling Mausoleum: Once the mourning period is over, he will immediately send troops with Wei State to defeat Chu State.South Korea does not want Chu's territory, but I hope that Wei State will not object to South Korea's capture of Zheng State.

What Weiss needed was Zhao Guoming's superficial alliance, and he didn't expect Zhao Guo to send troops at all. He pinned his hopes on the civil strife of the next generation of Zhao Guo, so he made peace with South Korea: tacitly allowed South Korea to capture part of Zheng Guo's city Yi, but opposed South Korea's full annexation of Zheng.If the state of Chu is defeated, South Korea, the land under Daliang City, cannot be touched and must belong to the state of Wei.

The two countries will work together to enter Prince Ding, and strive to make Prince Ding split Chu, stand upright as the king of Chu, and weaken Chu in an all-round way.

So far, chaos and war in the Central Plains are inevitable.
