Chapter 427 Coincidence
The concubine Mi thought for a while, and realized that before the war, he had thought too little.

But in combat, I thought too far, so far that it was impossible to implement it.

After all, he was still young. Even though Suo Lucan hadn't fought wars for many years, this man with the title of "Oriental Giant Sly" was still not comparable to a young man who was born in a major and had only been Sima Chief for more than a year.

Reining in the thought that if he was a brigade commander, he would be able to make contributions and become a famous general with ease, Shu Pu Mi asked some more questions.

a few days.

Although the Hu people abandoned the wounded and retreated, the people still did not move. As long as they stayed on the mountain, there was absolutely no possibility of being attacked.The horses were all sent away, and they couldn't grasp the situation around the battlefield. At this time, I was afraid that if the Hu people had some tricks to lure them to move, it would be very bad.

After waiting on the mountain for several days, all the barbarians who were hit by lead bullets were given a happy ending, and they couldn't be cured anyway.The corpses were burned, and there were more than 40 barbarian wounded who were not injured by lead bullets but only had broken bones, and they were all treated in the car formation.

Ma Nai, who was born as a barbarian, came to play the role of the Propaganda Department, and told the wounded about the irrationality that existed in those tribes and that the tribe members took for granted.

What the Mohists are short of now is people, labor. Even if these people cannot enter the army after recovering from their injuries, they will naturally integrate into the new environment after working in some farms or handicraft workshops for a few years.

After waiting on the mountain for eight days, General Qu's three brigades, plus the rest of the cavalry and artillery, nearly 6000 troops finally arrived.

After the meeting, rest for a day near the hill.

At night, in the military tent, General Qu and Cang Solu talked about the situation in the past few years. Cang Suolu suggested with a smile: "I just came back, and I don't understand many things. But I have an idea, I don't know what you think .”

Qu Jiang hurriedly said: "Well, it is suitable to travel thousands of miles and read thousands of books. You have traveled tens of thousands of miles, and you want to see more."

Suo Lucan smiled, and said: "In the battle of Tushan, within hundreds of miles, the saying that we Mohists are invincible will spread."

"Now it's only a few tens of miles away from Beihai. In the old days, the sages danced with relatives and there were Miao Naifu. There are still a few tribes there. You can go wherever you want, dance with relatives, and let them experience it."

"Maybe you can buy wine and invite the leaders of those tribes to come in the name of a banquet. When the time comes, the guns will be fired and let them know our skills."

"It's one of them."

"Secondly, I heard that fifty miles to the west of here, there is a big marsh with rich water and grass, fertile land, and it can be cultivated. If there are enough people, we can set up another fort here. There are mountains here, and the Hu people want to come here. It is necessary to pass through here."

"With the prestige of this battle, the prestige will still exist within ten years. It only needs to station three to five hundred people to make the barbarians dare not move lightly."

"Thirdly, these Hu people who are close to us... can divide the land and allow them to trade with us. Like the princes of the Central Plains, within three to five hundred miles to the north, several pastures are divided, and the tribes are not allowed to invade at will. , nor can you bully the weak.”

"As long as we can guarantee the intervention, we will fight whoever is strong, and uphold justice. Over time, they will cut off the possibility of countless tribes becoming one."

"At the same time, their leaders are forced to hand over their protons and study and live in Gaoliu. Those who are not protons will not be allowed to succeed as leaders. Anyone who refuses to accept it will be beaten."

"Especially in the big tribes, if there are other sons who are not convinced, then fight over there, and after the fight, dismantle! Break the big ones into small ones."

"Further to the north, it is bitter and cold, and farming is not easy. It is of little benefit to us. It is better to divide them. Even the weak and eliminate the strong."

"We still have to develop westward. I came back from the Yellow River. There is a lot of fertile land in the west that is suitable for farming, and some land that can be irrigated. There are still some weak Hu tribes there, so there is nothing to fear. We can use our policies. , keep the tribe members but not the leaders and nobles..."

"Now we have the advantages of iron and firearms, and our infantry can fight five against one. We can learn from Duke Zhou's feudal colonization strategy and make people build cities..."

After listening to Suolucan's thoughts, General Qu laughed and said: "Solucan, Suolucan, everyone said you are quick-witted and cunning, and it is true. The policy that Sishang made last month is also the same. Qinzi, Shi and the others also planned this way. However, if it is to be carried out, it is not just a matter of our side, but also needs to borrow the power of the world."

Suo Lucan nodded, thinking that the Mohist organization decided to formulate this kind of policy, and it would definitely appear. This is the way that can be chosen after weighing the pros and cons.

He thought to himself that although he was called the great cunning of the East, his cunning in borrowing the general trend of the world was still not appropriate. He was the one who stirred up the world. How could he not think of implementing such a strategy on the grassland?
Now that they have established a firm foothold, they are powerless to go further north. They lack Mohists and the ability to organize the grassroots. It is impossible to implement such a policy near Gaoliu on the grassland.

After laughing, General Qu said: "You should also understand that if you really want to build a city to the west, what is the most lacking. After all, it is still very difficult."

Suo Lucan understands that what is lacking the most is people, especially people from Zhongyuan.

And it's best not to have any nobles, and it's better to be poor people like slaves and serfs, so that they can build a firm foothold in the west and firmly control it in the hands of the Mohists.

Thinking of what Qu Jiang said just now about "taking advantage of the power of the world", he couldn't help but think of the things that the Mo family in Sishang used to exploit the contradictions of the nobles, and thought that this was probably done by self-adaptation.

Suo Lucan's identity is here, and now many figures of the older generation of the Mohist school have withered. At the Sishang fraternity meeting last year, the number of committee members was expanded, and Suo Lucan was still elected as a member without being present.

But even so, there are some things he can't ask, and Qu Jiang won't answer if he asks them, unless he returns to Sishang.

This is the rule.Even though General Qu understands that this person who has returned from traveling thousands of miles to the west cannot betray and is trustworthy, rules are rules.

The situation in the world today is very different from when Suo Lucan left. Although he was waiting on the mountain these days, the concubines and others often read the internal newspapers of the Mohist family. People there know the situation in the world.

These young people, if there were no Mohists, might still be planting public land in the village at this time, and they only know about things within a hundred miles, but now they can hear them criticize in a disdainful tone from their mouths. Those princes, nobles, emperors and kings.

The changes in the world, in short, Tian's generation of Qi has been completed.

From the nondescript title of "Limin Guan", after bribing Weihou and forming an alliance with Wei, with the help of Weihou, he obtained the permission of Zhou Tianzi and became the official Qihou.

There is only one city by the sea left in Jiang Taigong's lineage to continue offering sacrifices.

Han Wei annexed part of Zheng State's land, and Wei Han could still be fattened by Zheng State's corpse for the time being without turning against each other.

The state of Chu was divided into two halves, and the king of Chu had no choice but to allow Chen's land to belong to his younger brother, and he was powerless to conquer it.

The Yue Kingdom is dying and is about to completely retreat to the south of the Huaihe River. It can't last in the north. The Mohists have stationed troops and infiltrated. ambition.

The situation in Wei State is better than it was back then.

Marquis Zhao was ill, and Suo Lucan also heard about Que's dealings with Jun and the Hu people on the mountain, and he also knew the "rumors" about the possible civil strife in Zhao that circulated within the Mohists.

After listening to Qu Jiang's words of taking advantage of the situation, his years of experience and knowledge, the conspiracies and strategies of thousands of miles away, the struggle of the nobles, etc., made him quickly guess what the situation was about.

The Mohist school lacked people, especially slaves and serfs.

There are many nobles and serfs in the state of Zhao.

Directly destroying the aristocratic system, the Mohists did not have the ability in Zhao State.

So if you want people, you have to fight with one faction.

If some nobles "rebelled" or "rebelled", they could get slaves and serfs from their fiefs and migrate to the border.

And if you want these people to migrate to the border instead of being divided up by the victorious nobles, you need the "victorious" nobles to owe the Mozhe a kindness, or the Mohism participates in it and participates in the distribution of benefits after the victory. possibility.

In other words, if the Mohists wanted to develop in the north, they had to interfere in Zhao's internal affairs, rely on the contradictions of the nobles, and obtain the population that the Mohists desperately needed in the north.

Thinking about it again, Solucan felt that the problem was obvious.

Once Marquis Zhao died, his son would have no choice but to rebel if he wanted to ascend the throne, and he might have to get the support of Wei and Qi, just like the splitting incident between the princes of Chu.

Que and Jun belonged to the Prince's dynasty. At this time, the Que and Jun were exposed to make the contradictions of the nobles come to light, so that Wei State could get involved in the internal affairs of Zhao State earlier, and also made the situation more hostile to Prince Zhang. unfavorable, in order to seek the greatest benefit.

Giving charcoal in the snow, icing on the cake, the benefits that can be exchanged are different.

Marquis Wei just helped Tian's get a formal title. South Korea has always been Wei Guo's follower, and Chu State is still licking its wounds. I think this rebellion of the sons of Zhao State will definitely arouse all countries.

Gong Zizhang needs support, especially the support of the Mohists, because Suo Lucan heard that the iron mine in Handan of Zhao State is also run by the Mohists, and it is shared with Gong Zizhang, so both merchants and handicraft workshop owners need to have contacts with Gong Zizhang.

Suo Lucan didn't know that there was a secret Mohist beside Gongzi Zhang.

But after a little analysis of the situation, he was sure that the Mo family would stand by Gongzizhang this time.

Because although it seems that the Mo family can bet freely, and both Gong Zizhang and Gong Zichao will win over, the Mo family is destined to only choose Gong Zizhang.

A childe Zhang ascended the throne with the support of the people of Zhao Guoguo and some nobles in the era of Zhao Liehou, so that today's Zhao Hou dare not pass the title to his son clearly.

If it is right, then there is no need for foreign interference.If Wei Guo wants to get involved in the internal affairs of Zhao State, it is impossible to support a prince who has a good position. That is tantamount to raising a tiger, so he can only support the prince's dynasty.

Gong Zichao wants to make troubles and needs people's support, but it is inconvenient for the Mohists to participate in this kind of thing, and in terms of sending troops, Wei Han is closer and easier to send troops. Sometimes it is also possible to use external forces to suppress the Mohist family's settlement and change of mind.

Therefore, Gong Zizhang is the best candidate for the Mohists to interfere in Zhao's internal affairs: if he ascends the throne, and if the prince rebels, then the situation in Zhao State will inevitably be unstable, and what is needed is to defend the city to prevent the Wei State's intervening army from breaking through the capital. The son is facing up.

The Mo family is good at defending the city, and supporting Gong Zizhang is a professional counterpart, and there is no need to dispatch the main force.

This army in the northern border can be used as a surprise soldier under the siege in exchange for the benefits of Gongzi Zhang's transfer.

Since it is said that there is a shortage of people, it is simple: when the Wei Qi intervention army besieged Mou Handan, the capital of Zhao, and other big cities, when they were in danger, they took advantage of the fire to raise conditions.

The nobles fought for power, the losers fled, and the fiefs were reclaimed and distributed. The Mohists did not want to fief the land, and wanted serfs and slaves as the price of support, and Gong Zizhang would not refuse to give it.

Fifty thousand liberated slaves and serfs are enough to build cities and take root in those places in the west that are suitable for farming, but are still Loufan Linhu tribes, and gradually expand.

As for things like rebellion, the nobles are actually not stupid. Some things are certain, but there is nothing to do before the outbreak: Zhaohou is not dead, and there is no need for the son to rebel.After the death of Marquis Zhao, son Zhang ascended the throne, if he cut off his cousin's head, Zhao would be in chaos, so he had to watch his cousin rebel.

The nobles who supported the two sons had been gearing up to accumulate strength these years, and Zhao Hou also acquiesced in this matter because he was his own son.

After figuring out the so-called "taking advantage of the situation", Suo Lucan suddenly remembered that when he left the Westward Journey ten years ago, he began to contact Zhao Guo and send envoys. , just waiting for the coup d'état and civil strife in Zhao country...

Smiling secretly, Suo Lucan didn't ask more questions that he shouldn't ask himself, but asked: "What are you going to do about the matter between Que and Jun? Going back this time, I think this matter will be resolved." I just want to go back to Sishang, and I need to go through Zhongmu, Handan, and the confessions of those captured can be brought back along the way."
