Chapter 588 Unshakable Power ([-])
Only interests can form an eternal alliance. From the perspective of interests, the family is just an imagined community at a certain time.

When Tian Chang was prime minister, the Tian family united as one, one was to fight against Jiang, Guo, Gao, Yan, Guan and other great clans; the other was that it was the rising period of the Tian family, eating a lot of meat, originally they could only drink swill At that time, Xiao Zong could also drink a sip of hot soup.

As for now, even 20 years ago, family strife was inevitable.

As a cousin, it was not easy for Tian Yan to say this about Tian Wu, at least he hadn't kept silent.

If he keeps silent, it is another attitude: it’s not that he can’t think of a better way, but he is using the attitude of avoiding suspicion because of his brother’s fault, not saying his brother’s fault, but actually agreeing in his heart that his brother is at fault.

This contest is equivalent to kicking the ball to Tian He again.

Tian He wants Tian Yan to declare his position: For the sake of his brothers, he must do his best to save them.

Tian Shan expressed his attitude: Let the countries come forward to mediate, but in fact the Mohists don't care about the opinions of the countries at all, and they will still sentence Tian Wu to death, but after all, Tian Shan seems to express his love for his younger brother.

Tian He has been immersed in conspiracy for decades, how can he not know Tian Shan's mind?
He was surprised in his heart, and said to himself: "There must be a good planner by his side. Otherwise, how could he come up with such a countermeasure in such a short period of time? Now, every word he says is to save Wu'er, but In fact, every sentence is forcing Wu'er to die. The Mohists value righteousness, if they can even compromise their righteousness, is it still the Mohism?

After brewing emotions for a long time in vain, he sang "Tangdi" at the top of his voice, but this was the answer he got.

If Tian Yan declares that he must save his younger brother for the sake of the family, at most it will be an assassination in the future. At that time, more precautions will be needed. As long as he declares that the family's great cause is the most important thing, then a formal coup is unlikely and it will be difficult to fight. His own face, his own mouth.

But the idea that came up now, let outsiders hear: Prince Yan is really a good brother, and he wants to rely on foreign mediation to save his younger brother.

In fact, every sentence is forcing Tian Wu to die.

Tian He had no choice but to think for a long time. The key is whether Tian Qing can defeat the main force of the volunteers of the Mo family.If Laiwu can be captured,
If it is possible to capture Laiwu, which was called Yingyi or Laigu at that time, then the Linzi army led by Tian Qing can retreat and return to Linzi, and advance to the side that can threaten the main force of the Mohist family, so that Shi dare not enter Linzi.

Now if you really want to retreat, you can't retreat, and there is really no reinforcements available.

Wei Han was powerless.

The series of actions taken by the Mohists in Jishui are different from the previous wars between the princes: simple land reforms will be carried out after occupying a place, which allows the Mohists to maintain a longer-term war.

The mobile forces in Jiaodong area and Judi cannot move at all. If they move, the Mohist Xiliu can march into Ju and Jimo in Laoshan, Langya and other places.

At that time, even if Linzi is not lost, the troops are concentrated, and the Mohists carry out land reforms in various places, at the latest half a year, there will be a shortage of food and grass in Linzi, soaring prices, and people's minds will be stable.

Tian He could also see now that Wei Guo put him together, how could this be a fight for Sishang?In other words, where does Wei Guo still have the power to compete for Sishang?

This Wei State is clearly no longer the Wei State of Wenhou's time, its strength is weak, and it is difficult to maintain it in four-sided battles.This clamor to attack the Mohists together with the Qi Nationality Alliance, now it seems that it is just to use the power of Qi to hold the Mohists and prevent the Mohists from fighting Wei in the directions of Chu, Zhao, and Zhongshan.

The result of the destruction of the [-] army, the throwing of water in the Jishui River Basin, and the complete overthrow of the southwest of the Great Wall was just an opportunity for Wei to free up his hands to fight Zhao and Chu.

Tian He thought that if he confronted the Mohists for a long time, gathered troops in Linzi, abandoned Jishui, Wenshui, Jiaodong, Ju, and Hebei, and withdrew all the troops, he might be able to hold Linzi. capture.

But the key point here is whether the Mo family and the Chu country can turn against each other within half a year or even a year?Can Wei Guo free his hand to save Qi?Will Qin take advantage of this situation to cross Luoshui and seize Xihe?

If one of these situations is unsatisfactory, the result is that the troops will be concentrated in Linzi, but all the cities of Qi State outside Linzi will be lost, and the land reform of the Mohists. Within a year at most, the people in the cities of Qi State will not have any nostalgia for Qi State... ...I'm afraid Linzi won't be able to keep it at that time.

Tian He let out a long sigh, looked to the northwest, and said to himself... What will happen to Wei Guo's attitude?Qi State can no longer save itself. We can only see if Wei State can win against Zhao, Zhongshan, Daliang, and Chen Cai; we can only see if Qin State will give up this excellent opportunity to recapture Xihe.

…………

Weidu, Anyi.

Uncle Gong looked at the letter sent by the Mo family, with the same serious expression as Wei Houjian.

The Mohists, who had not wielded weapons for many years, told the princes of the world in the battle of Nanjishui: the Mohist volunteer who was able to capture the King of Yue in Lishui back then is now more powerful than before, even if he has not fought for many years, it is still the same.

Wei Chi frowned and said: "In the past, a few soldiers came to Luyang to fight against the unknown Bizhishi. At that time, Zhaohou and Hanhou died, and the three Jins retreated. I thought at that time that Bizhishi was just luck, otherwise Niu Lan must go down. Now it seems that his troops are no less than mine..."

"Tian Pingyin is extremely stupid. Even if there are [-] dogs, the Mohists can't catch them within two days. How come they were wiped out in less than three days?"

"Now that the Mohist army is in full swing, they question why the widows do unrighteous things, and say that Marquis Wen still had the ambition to eliminate soldiers and the Central Plains, but he actually said that I am not worthy of my father!"

He cursed, but he could only curse. If Wei was insulted like this when he was in its heyday, he would definitely send all the soldiers of the whole country to punish the Mo family for the "unworthy" insult.

Xiao, it seems.

The ability of Marquis Wen is praised by the world. Wei Guo is a small bully, and the employing of people is not doubtful, and the world will not be dissatisfied.

Unlike Marquis Wen, he was scolding Wei Jian.

Originally, Wei Jian had a lot of complaints about the Mohists. He was slapped twice in the face by the Mohists. The comparison between the first battle of Niu Lanyi and the battle of Wu Qi's attack on Daliang also indirectly caused Wu Qi to leave, which Wei Jian thought was the greatest shame in his life.

But now, Gong Zizhi retreated in a row in Zhongshan, and the Zhongshan Lord's army organized by stirrups and saddles was led by Le Chi for consecutive victories. Cooperating with Lord Zhongshan's cavalry, it was difficult for the Wei people to resist.

In the south of Daliang, Wei and Chu are still confronting each other, but the new army of Chu State helped by the Mohists and the engineering soldiers sent by the Mohists, dressed in Chu people's clothes and carrying the Chu people's banner, broke through the city one after another. The prince of Chu must have stood firm. Can't live.

Since Chen Cai was destroyed, this place has been under the state of Chu, and the people have no intention of resisting, and the morale of the Chu army is in full swing, especially those Chu people who have heard that this time the state of Wei has squeezed Wu Qi away, and the southern coach in the direction of Daliang is not Wu Qi But after Mr. Wei, he is even more fearless.

In the first battle with Zhao, although Handan was besieged, Handan organized manpower with the help of Hu Feizi and others. Ximen Leopard has the ability to govern the country, but it is weaker than military strategy. Those who helped guard Handan.

It is also difficult for the rebel army of Gongzi Chao and Zhao Guo's nobles to make progress, and they have to be wary of the Mo family's General Qu in Gaoliu. After all, the Mo family has always seemed to be on Gongzizhang's side, so they have to guard against it.

Although the military soldiers in Xihe were strong, as soon as they entered the land of Zhao, news came that Wu Qi entered Qin, and Qin Jun overcame the dissatisfaction of the nobles, worshiped him as a general, and made the cities of Chongquan and Luoyin organize and train soldiers, showing off his might on the bank of the falling water, Most of the Xihe defenders had Wu Qi in their hearts, and they dared not look directly at them, thinking that they would be defeated.

In this case, Xihe is more important than Zhao, Zhongshan, and Daliang. No matter whether Qin takes the opportunity to interfere, it is impossible for Wei Wuzu to fall into Zhao's quagmire with all his strength and can only withdraw.

At that time, when the Mohists learned from Song Xianggong that the Lu people were innocent and gave up the ambush of the father of Qi and Liang in the Lu State, Zhao Gongzizhang intended to negotiate peace, but not long after the Nanjishui battle, Zhao Gongzizhang's attitude immediately became tough and vetoed the previous The condition of the peace talks means that Wei Guo must admit that the son is in trouble and must be executed. Otherwise, the alliance of the three Jins will never be formed again, and the alliance of the three Jins is only an alliance of the three Jins on an equal footing, without interfering with each other, and it will not be the same as before. In that way, Zhao Guo sent troops, Wei and Han benefited, and when the profits were distributed, Zhao Guo was firmly stuck in the Central Plains and was not allowed to enter the Central Plains.

No one thought that the Qi State, which seemed to be a powerful country in the world and the uncle of the East, would be so weak and vulnerable, let alone the Mo family's victory in the battle of Nanji Water.

When the news of Pingyin's destruction and Lucheng's occupation came, and Qi was already defeated, it was just a question of more defeats and less defeats, Wei Jian had few choices.

After the First Battle of Nanjishui, the Mohists sent envoys to question Wei Hou: What happened to the Wei-Han coalition forces in the direction of Chengyang?The Marquis of Qi is unrighteous, so does the Marquis of Wei also do unrighteous things?

Faced with such questioning, Wei Jian could only squeeze out a smile to appease the angry Mohist envoys.Now that the battle against Chu has not yet been decided, if the Mohists really want to enter a state of declared war, the Mohists will first decide Linzi, and then insert Yang into Jishui and Danshui, forming a double-team situation with Chu. The situation in the entire Central Plains will be reversed.

In just a few days, Wei Jian's mood can be described as ups and downs.

First, when the news of Qin Huali's serious illness came, Wei Jian was overjoyed, just as Tian He thought, thinking that the Mo family would inevitably have internal turmoil this time.

He also told the news to Zhao Gongzizhang's envoys. Sure enough, Zhao's envoys changed their arrogance in the past few days when the news of the Jishui War came, and no longer discussed the peace talks. Compared with the previous haughty attitude, it is much lower.

Wei Jian also felt that the sea and the sky were wide open. The internal strife of the Mohists not only resulted in the result of negotiations with the Mohists, but also took this opportunity to negotiate peace with the Zhao State to ensure that the rebellious prince would not die and split the Zhao State.Once Zhao Guo is leveled, Zhongshan will have no worries.

In the south of Daliang, Wei and Chu confronted each other, and Prince Chu could not be rescued, but at least Daliang and Yuguan could be guaranteed, and they still had an advantage over Chu.

Moreover, once the Mo family was in chaos, the already declining Yue State could take a breather, and the Wei-Yue alliance could continue to contain Chu State from behind, just like supporting Wu State to fight against Chu State back then.

However, within a few days of Wei Jian's high spirits, two public declarations came out. The papers brought back by the scouts may only be half double in weight, but they are no less than a hundred thousand soldiers, which immediately made Wei Jian excited. In a good mood, I fell into the bottomless abyss of panic.

These two thin pieces of paper contain an unshakable force, an organizational force that is incomprehensible in the era of feudalism.
