warring states careerist

Chapter 369
Hu Feizi's mission to Qi State was a strategy of the Mohists. It was to make the people of Yue think that Qi State was behind the restoration of Teng State.

Tian didn't care that the Mohists took advantage of her. On the contrary, after hearing that the Mohists helped Teng to restore the country, she was very excited... The Sishui River Basin is the foundation of the hegemony of Yue's vassal state in the north. Return to Wu Yue.

In Tian's eyes, the Mohists are not a threat, at least for the time being, they don't feel that their threat is greater than that of the Yue Kingdom. In Tian's view, they are nothing more than a group of fools who want to benefit the world, at most they are the strength of a city doctor.

The State of Qi would not directly state that it would send troops to fight against the State of Yue, and it also had this attitude of talking about "God's will" rather than business affairs in the temple area.

The State of Yue is unable to fight against the joint forces of the State of Qi and the Mohists, so even if the attitude is so bad, the temple area cannot leave in a huff. It seems that the best outcome in this situation is to win a result where the State of Qi's attitude is ambiguous.

They broke up in Linzi, and the temple area went to Lu State again, because many nobles from Teng State were in Lu State. This time, the King of Yue was going to meet in Yishui, hoping that Lu State would support the scene.

In terms of military strength, Lu Hou was forced to drive by the King of Yue a few years ago.

In terms of love, Marquis Lu was oppressed by the Jisun family and fled away, and Marquis Lu was taken in by the Yue Kingdom.

However... the State of Lu was the successor of the Duke of Zhou, and he was extremely "ritual".

At that time, Goujian met the princes in Xuzhou, learned from Fuchai of Wu State, and called them public to the inner city and other countries in the Central Plains. Later, the emperor of Zhou also recognized Yue as "bo". The title of a special overlord prince.

So Lu Hou felt that it was reasonable for him to drive the king of Yue.

However, now that King Yi of Yue is going to meet in Yishui, there is a big question: will Fei Guo participate?

The Kingdom of Fei is an usurped country, and everyone in the world knows that it is a country that is usurped by a doctor, but it is still a vassal country of the Lu State in name, although it is actually a tribute to the Yue State.

The Zhou ceremony atmosphere of the State of Lu is strong, and Lu Hou said that this time the Yishui League, if Lu Hou participates, Fei Guo cannot participate, otherwise what is going on?

It is impossible and absolutely unacceptable for the monarch of the vassal state to sit at the same table with the monarch of the suzerain state.

The fact of usurping the country is a fact, but the name is the name, and Lu Hou also found an excuse not to go into this muddy water...Because the temple area came from Qi State, Lu State already knew Qi State's attitude, so he didn't want to get angry this time .

For Yue, Fei is an important vassal state. After all, the country is small and easy to control, so it is absolutely impossible to give up Fei in order to let Marquis Lu participate in this face.

Qi State is now watching, watching the war in the Central Plains, the battle between Jin and Chu, but it will not give up this excellent opportunity to weaken Yue State.

After walking around the temple area, the only thing I noticed was Qi Lu's attitude...neither supporting nor opposing.

After returning home, King Yi of Yue was already angry once, but that time he was not angry enough to throw a crystal cup.

Siqu also understands that the country of Yue is now riding a tiger.

The strength is no longer enough to support the hegemony in the Central Plains, but returning to Wuyue will lead to civil strife and the prestige of King Yi of Yue will plummet.

In the century of Vietnam, strategic contraction is the best choice.It is possible to plan for ten years, but sticking to the last hegemony and dignity of Surabaya is the only choice.

Fortunately, at that time, various small countries agreed to participate in the Yishui League to crusade against the Mohist "government of disordering the world" under the pressure of Yue's military power.

On the one hand, King Yi of Yue strengthened the defense of Langya, repaired Langya City, and recruited many troops from Wuyue to go north, prepared enough food along Hangou, and it took nearly a year to prepare for the expedition.

Langya City is surrounded by the sea on one side and surrounded by mountains on three sides. It looks easy to defend but difficult to attack. However, after the battle of Teng State last year, the nobles went back and told the Mohist siege method, and the King of Yue had to strengthen Langya's defense again.

He is not worried about the Mohist family, he thinks that the Mohisthism has at most tens of thousands of people, the strength of a few hundred Mohists.

What he was worried about was that the Tian clan of Qi State would cooperate with the Mohists and gather an army from Jucheng to attack Langya in a way similar to the attack on Tengcheng.

For this reason, King Yi of Yue had to recruit more troops from Wuyue to prepare for guarding.

This is a battle that has to be fought. In the old place of Wu and Yue, the nobles of Wu and the people of Wu are ready to move, and they are all waiting for the decline of Yue. If they don’t care about the restoration of Teng, then the Wu people think that Teng can be restored. Why is Wu Can't return to the country?Moreover, it is not necessarily necessary to restore the state of Wu, and it is also possible to support the son of the king of Yue to split the state of Yue.

King Yi of Yue was always worried about his son, and he didn't trust his son, because his father was the one who killed his father. This kind of distrust was engraved in his bones.

So knowing that the old land of Wuyue is very unstable now, but they have to recruit more soldiers from the old land of Wuyue to ensure that this battle is won and to prevent Qi from making a sudden surprise attack.

He didn't expect to lose.

His younger brother Yu is very talented, he can guard Langya well, and he can command the troops recruited from Wuyue.

He still has an elite army of [-] gentlemen in his hands. King Yi of Yue has heard of the Xihe soldiers of Wei State, but he has never seen it with his own eyes, so he has always believed that the army of gentlemen in his hands is the first in the world. Guo lamented the elite of "the more people are fierce tigers".

There are very few chariot soldiers in the country of Yue, and chariot battles are not strong. Fortunately, there are Chen Yin who teaches archery and a Yue girl who teaches swords. The archers and swordsmen are very good.

Nowadays, the Wei military pawns in the world have not really moved, and the Mohist volunteers became famous in the First World War in Shangqiu, but the number of them is too small. In the eyes of many people, the Junzi Army is still the number one soldier in the world.

At this time, before the reforms of various countries, these three armies were considered to be the only three armies with infantry as the absolute main force, and the composition of the three teams was also different.

Wei Wuzu is a semi-recruitment system, a military system that cooperates with the reform of the private land system of Wei State.

The mohist volunteers in Peixian County are an organized and soulful infantry that looks like a compulsory army.

The Junzi Army of the Yue Kingdom can be regarded as the last glory of the Spring and Autumn Equinox feudal system era.

The Gentleman Army is actually the "friend infantry" of the King of Yue, because the composition of the Gentleman Army is "father, brother, brother, brother, and the surname of the country". They are all children of nobles, and many of them are relatives who grew up with the King of Yue.

The State of Yue has a small family slavery system. The King of Yue entrusts the land to the nobles, and then entrusts the land to the members of the gentleman's army. At the same time, he allocates some slaves on the land, as well as some non-national serfs, to ensure that each member of the gentleman's army has enough time. Drill to become a professional warrior.

The "scholar" class in the Central Plains is a bit similar, but the countries in the Central Plains mainly fight in chariots, so the "scholar" was originally a chariot, and it must be ensured that "the salary is enough to farm for them". Soldiers cannot play like they did in the Central Plains.

These salaries are also derived from a variant of serfdom with the smallest enfeoffment—only if the land is not bound by labor, then the nobles cannot become nobles, and people with legs will flee.The basis of the existence of the aristocracy is the exploitation of unpaid labor, and the land is only the appearance, and the essence is the system that binds the land and the person.

The productivity of the Yue State was low, so in the era when the "rituals collapsed and music was broken" in the countries of the Central Plains, the Junzi Army of the Yue State became an army that most conformed to the "rituals", and it was also the last glory of the Spring and Autumn Period.

If the Junzi Army is a remnant of the Spring and Autumn Period, then the Wei Wuzu is the dawn of the Warring States military system, and the Peixian Volunteer Army is more like the "Liangjiazi" army of the Han Dynasty.

The Gentleman Army is the imperial guard of the King of Yue, and also the elite of the Yue Kingdom, and it is also the foundation for the King of Yue to leave Langya with peace of mind.

At least at this time, in the eyes of King Yue, the Junzi Army is the first soldier in the world, and it is also the confidence of his besieging the city to force the Mohists to defeat the Mohist volunteers in one fell swoop.

In addition to the 6000 volunteers, King Yi of Yue also mobilized 3 "clergymen", who were actually conscripted peasants and soldiers who had received certain training.

With the addition of 3000 archers, 120 chariots, and tens of thousands of logistics troops, almost all the forces that could be used were used under the premise of ensuring that Langya would not be raided by the Qi State.

These 120 chariots seem to be a small number, but in fact there are not many, and they are already the essence of Yue's chariot soldiers.

For example, Wei is known as the country of a thousand chariots, and the thousand chariots of a thousand chariots are a combination of chariots, baggage carts, and chariots.At the beginning of the founding of the state of Lu, it was a state of 150 chariots, and it was the largest country in the world. In fact, according to the land division of the feudal system, there were only [-] chariots, and the remaining three quarters were auxiliary vehicles, baggage vehicles and passenger vehicles.

These more than [-] field troops are the largest military force that the monarch of the Yue Kingdom, which is thousands of miles away, can control.

This time, the Yishui League is to let the small countries in the Sishui River Basin know that the Yue Kingdom is still strong, can still control Surabaya, and can still be the "little overlord" in the lower reaches of the Huaihe River in Sishui.

It was originally smooth.

But it soon became difficult.

At the end of March, news came that the Mohists believed that the King of Yue was a warlike king, and they came forward to tell the small countries in the Sishui Valley not to participate in the alliance.

After Ni City was breached, Ni Zi only had to return halfway, saying that he would "ask the public".It is a rule recognized by the world, and it is difficult for the king of Yue to say anything.

But just over ten days later, there was another news that the volunteer teacher of the Mohist family had left Ni Cheng without knowing where he was going.

Then, within five days, the gunpowder exploded the city wall after approaching with a zigzag tunnel, and broke through Fei Guowu City. The princes of the small country in the Surabaya Valley were shocked.

That Wucheng is an old city in the Spring and Autumn Period. It was built by Shusun Bao who put forward the theory of "Three Immortals". This city is very famous.

Zeng Shen was born here.Shantai Mieming, who made Confucius feel "judging people by their appearance, is the feather I lost", was also born here. Later, the Fei State overran the country and divided the city from the Lu State.

Ni country is a small country, and Ni city is a small city, and it is not a fear of attacking it.

But Wucheng is a big city on the border between Lu and Fei, and it is also a town of ten thousand households, and it has been built since the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Jisun family has also repaired it after it became independent... But such a town of ten thousand households was breached in five days , this is simply too appalling.

The State of Yue has a history of abolishing the monarch of a small country, but this is the case. The monarch of the State of Xue, who is closest to Pei County, still claims to be sick, saying that he cannot go, and sends people to Yishui to hope that the King of Yue will forgive his sin.

The king of Zou, who had been deposed once, was trembling, worried that the volunteers of the Mohist family would turn to Zoucheng after they captured Wucheng... It is true that the Yue people can abolish Li, but if the Mohist really captures Zoucheng, those brothers and uncles in the city But he is also a member of the palace with the right to inherit!
Fei Guo claimed that most of the food was hoarded in Wucheng and could not provide enough military rations, and he was worried that the volunteers would go south, so they could not send troops.

No matter how small those small countries are... they were originally meant to make up the numbers, and they were far away, so verbal support was useless.

Originally, I wanted to create a little bit of a scene. After the alliance, I would show off my military power, so that the small countries would panic, and then defeat the Mohist volunteers and attack Tengcheng, so that these small countries would not dare to change their minds within 20 years. The appearance became a joke.

And this is exactly what Siqu knew...the reason why King Yi of Yue broke the crystal cup in a rage.

The volunteers of the Mohists are still showing off their power in Wucheng. King Yi of Yue originally planned to go to Teng Kingdom after meeting the alliance in April, but now he has to go to Wucheng first to reassure these small countries, so that the small countries can provide enough logistical support, and at the same time You can send troops and civilians to support this battle.
