warring states careerist

Chapter 428 Party
The answer to Solushen's question seems to be simple, but it actually involves a lot.

The Mohist organization method determines that even though Gaoliu is thousands of miles away from Sishang, for the common purpose, they must maintain consistent actions.

Gaoliu's westward development and city building is a big deal in Gaoliu, but the world in the eyes of the entire Mohists is only a part of the overall purpose.

The matter of Gao Liu depends on Zhao Guo.

Zhao Guo's affairs determined Wei Hanqi's movements.

Wei Hanqi's movements determined Sishang's attitude towards Fei, Xue and other vassal states.

In this matter, there has to be unity of action.

Just like the Mohists' actions against the Yue State, it was an opportunity to take advantage of the contradiction between Wei and Chu to fight for hegemony in the Central Plains.

The succession crisis of Zhao State this time is also the opportunity for the Mohists to plan for years to completely assimilate Sishang.

Whether or not to interfere does not depend on whether there is "reason" in what the Mohists do, because the basis of reasoning is different, and many things are the same as chickens and ducks.

Whether it is interfered depends on whether Wei Hanqi and other countries have the energy.

Once something happened to Zhao Guo, the Three Kingdoms would not pay attention to Si, and this was the last chance for the Mo family to expand quietly.

Once the integration of the remaining vassal states in Sishang is completed, what the Mohists will have to face are those princes of great powers, and it is time to tear their face apart.

Therefore, this matter is very important. Fortunately, Zhao Hou's health has been bad since last year, and it seems that he can't survive for two years. Sishang has already formulated a rough policy in the communication last month.

Even if there is no such thing as Que and Jun, Gao Liu will find a reason to clarify some things, because Sishang has already started propaganda and agitation, and is ready to do something.

Before doing anything, it must be confirmed that Wei, Han and Qi will be involved in Zhao Guo's affairs.

Mohist spies, spies, and lobbyists are operating in various countries, predicting the reactions of all parties, and thus determining when to act.

Politics involves people, and people cannot use reason to infer, especially under the monarchy system, there may be some reactions.

So it looks like a bet, the bet is that Wei Hanqi will not control Sishang, but interfere with Zhao Guo, using Zhao Guo as Sishang's shield.

Therefore, when Suo Lucan heard Qu Jiang seemingly casually say, "As soon as the matter here is resolved, I will report this matter to Zhongmu Zhaohou", it was actually extremely heavy, so heavy that it involved several people. The dynamics and fate of the tens of thousands of troops in the great vassal state.

Suo Lucan no longer asked any further questions, but nodded to show that he understood.

…………

A few days later, the army did not turn back, but came to Beihai and stationed there.

Within a few days, many tribal leaders sent people to the camp to offer lambs and the like as a sign of submission, but General Qu still followed the Mohist rules and gave these people goods of the same value, accepting those who symbolized submission. lamb.

In fact, when the news of the army's arrival in Beihai reached the grassland tribe a few days ago, many leaders panicked.

They already knew the news that the few tribes had fled in a hurry before, and Wan Yu was so young and strong that he besieged a group of hundreds of people who came back from afar, but they were scared away.

Those tribes who did not participate in this matter because of greed secretly felt lucky, thinking that they had been told not to provoke those people in Gaoliu long ago, those tribes were deluded by greed, and now they finally know how terrible those people are.

In addition to being lucky, he also harbored hatred.Those people fled to the grasslands in the northwest, where their own tribe was beneficial, and they didn't want to migrate at all. Who knew that the people in Gaoliu would not be able to distinguish the tribe and vent their anger?

After the army entered the South China Sea, the leaders of the nearby tribes, large and small, sent people to pay a visit to the surrenders, and repeatedly stated that their tribes had absolutely no involvement in the previous incident.

This involves the interests of the Gaoliu exchange market. Some of the trading tokens issued by Gaoliu can be withdrawn. These tribes have to worry about Gaoliu's revenge and their own interests.

Fortunately, after those envoys came back, they all said that the army was stationed, and there was no offense. They also said that the Mo family would not wrong the good people or let the bad people go, and they would find out by themselves, so that everyone need not worry.

It was just an invitation, and ten days later, the leaders of various tribes gathered in the South China Sea. One was to testify to each other that they did not participate in the previous siege of Solucan; the other was to discuss profitable trade with the various tribes; Fei Gong, I don’t want to see such things as the strong swallowing the weak on the grassland; the fourth is that the certificates that allow transactions are already old, and it is said that they are in exchange for new ones.

There are threats as well as temptations.

If you don't go, you will be suspected of being afraid and guilty, and no one will help you prove that your tribe did not participate in the last robbery.

If you don't go, you will have to worry about being revoked the certificates that allow transactions. At that time, the tribe will lose a lot of benefits.

Fortunately, the people of the Mo family are honest, and the tribes close to Gaoliu know this. Although many ideas make the tribe leaders hate, they are still well-known in the matter of honesty.

The leaders brought courage, gifts, cattle and sheep, and set off one after another.

On the tenth day, near the lake that Gaoliu called the North Sea and the Hu people called the South Sea, flags were unfurled.

The leaders of the nine tribes, large and small, within four hundred miles have all gathered.

The concubine Mi rode a white star and stood in the camp, surrounded by some people who were excellent in equestrianism and were famous in some military competitions held in Gaoliu.

According to the rules of the barbarians, this gathering will be a grand event to compare survival and war skills such as wrestling, equestrianism, and archery.

According to the plan of the Mohist school, this time the gathering will be a show of military force with the dry dance and the obedient young. In addition to comparing equestrian archery, they will also demonstrate the power of volleys, cannons, and explosions.

Bai Xing is a fine horse, and Shu Pu Mi's riding skills are not bad either, it's time to show off.

The army has always been brooding over the fact that they were overwhelmed by the eagle archers at the barbarians last time, but it is really difficult to find people in the army who can compare their carving skills with those of the eagle archers, so today they follow the rules of the Mohists Compare something else.

The Heavenly Army has been preparing all the time, and selected the best fighters in each company, just to let the Hu people know that there are good riders in the Central Plains today.

The general process has also been rehearsed in the past few days. The concubine Mi is going to race horses with the barbarians.

After the horse race, there will be demonstrations such as the charge of the armed knights with spears, the salvo of infantry muskets, and the bombardment of cannons, so as to impress the barbarians.

The time has not yet come, and these people who have been selected are still waiting.

The horse milk on the side whispered: "It's okay if we show the guns and cannons, they don't know how. Then you say let's show the knights charging with spears. What should these people do after they learn it?"

The concubine Mi didn't turn her head, kept her upright posture, and whispered back: "They can't learn it. It's not like you don't know, those knight companies who can charge with spears have been trained for five or six years. Those who are selected are all good fighters, and they are trained off-duty in the military camp, how can these be easy to learn?"

"A tribe of thousands of people can't afford to support a company of cavalry that is fully trained. Let them see, they can't learn."

The two were muttering, the school officer in front of the team coughed lightly, turned around and glared at the two of them, Shu Pu Mi hurriedly shut up.

Not long after, the trumpets sounded, and the flute and drummers in the army played military music, and the sound of drums shook the sky.

The concubine Mi saw at the front desk that Qu Jiangzi was talking with several Hu leaders.

The distance was too far, and he couldn't hear what he was talking about, but he had already rehearsed what he would do today.The concubine Mi thought, maybe he was talking to those barbarians about the banquet performance.

Just as he was talking, the school officer who led the team called Shu Pu Mi and a few others, smiled and squeezed their shoulders and said: "Go, don't let the barbarians take away our prestige."

The concubine Mi nodded, carefully adjusted the saddle and stirrup girth, lightly clamped the horse's belly, and came to a painted wide field with several people around her.

There are also many warriors from the Hu people. They ride horses without saddles and grow up riding sheep. Even without saddles and stirrups, they still sit very still.

The concubine Mi looked at these barbarians who were crooked and jolting with the horses, and thought to themselves, how can you slash and sprint?It is nothing more than being able to draw the bow and shoot for twenty or thirty steps, and the eagle archer has to dismount if he wants to shoot accurately.You can shoot vultures, but that's because vultures don't have muskets. Our infantry formed a formation with muskets in the gaps between the four corners. How many vulture shooters do you have when you shoot at each other?

He mocked in his heart, but he didn't dare to relax on his body, he lightly stroked Bai Xing who was already a little excited, thinking that today he would save face for the righteous teacher.

With the sound of a drum, the horses of these competitions rushed out one after another.

Concubine Mi leaned over, as if lying on the back of a horse, her body naturally heaved up and down with the excited Bai Xing, and the scarf behind her head was blown by the wind to make a rattling sound. Concubine Mi liked this very much The hoop of the turban after a quick run.

There were no other horses in front of him, and he sprang out first, and the strange purple or white wildflowers that bloomed in summer kept fleeing backwards under his feet, as if trying to avoid the galloping of the horse's hooves.

When he ran to a small hill and was about to turn back, the concubine Mi stood up and looked back. A barbarian's master followed him closely, without stirrups and saddles, and he was still running fast.

The barbarian's legs were clamped on the horse's belly, and Shu Pu Mi knew that if they stood on the ground, there would be a lot of space between their legs, just like a puppy could slip through.

There were still a few people wrestling together in the back, but no one stopped them. Shu Pu Mi vaguely saw that Ma Nai was wrestling with a barbarian. His horse was circling around with its stirrups hanging down, and it seemed that he was running. The latter two bumped into each other and wrestled together. This is allowed, and Hu people have such rules.

The barbarian behind him was riding a white horse. The horse was very beautiful. Shu Pu Mi didn't want to admit that the barbarian was good at riding, so he could only mutter: "It's a good horse!"

Then he reluctantly raised the whip, like swinging an iron sword, and slapped Shirahoshi's ass.

The barbarian's horse behind him was very fast, as soon as he was catching up, Bai Xing was a little impatient, he raised his hooves before the master's whip came down.
