warring states careerist

Chapter 617

The rest of the people also felt that this should be the case, so they thought about it and said: "If the attack is false, it is still useless."

"When the army is mobilized, there will always be traces. Why should our army move at all when [-] soldiers go to win the city? It's not like we can't hold the city."

"If there are so many soldiers, how can he support the coup d'état? Even if the soldiers on the Gongzao side can't be the main attackers, they are more than enough to guard against thousands of elites."

"With Father Liang in hand, we can gather directly at Father Liang. If it is true, then we will fight directly around Yingyi. If it is false, we can also directly insert Qufu."

"If Father Liang is not in our hands, this method may work. But now that Father Liang is in hand, his method may be useless."

None of the people present thought about the possibility of the Linzi Army of the State of Qi going to Yishui to Ju, and then crossing the Great Wall from Ju to return to Linzi.It would be more enjoyable to commit suicide in this way, and it would be better to fight desperately to win, so it was no longer considered.

After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't have a clue, so he said conveniently: "Then we can only respond to all changes with the same. All the ministries are concentrated in Liangfu, guarding the city of Ying, and see what happens."

"Send someone to inform the public, beware of Qi's movements, and be more steady. He only needs to defend the country of Lu and block Yishui to death."

"There is no news from Jucheng. I also thought that the Qi army might put all their eggs in one bet. Judi would send troops to attack east and west, and abandon Judi...it seems unlikely."

"What the hell is Tian Wu going to do? Why did he kill Tian Qing? It must be that the two of them disagree..."

After thinking for a while, he smiled to himself: "It could be that Tian Wu is young and energetic, thinking that a long-term confrontation is not as good as a quick victory?"

I can't help but think of Zhao Kuo who will be more than a hundred years later. At this time, there is no such allusion, so it is inconvenient to say it.

A Mohist said: "It is certain that there is a difference of opinion. If it is the order of Qihou, it is fine to kill Tian Qing directly. It is not necessary to pin this righteous act on our Mo family."

Shi Ye nodded and said: "Tian Wu is the least likely to rebel. Because his father is still alive, and the crown prince is not him. If his father is still alive, he will rebel, then this is forcing Tian Shan and his father to form an alliance. It is impossible for Tian Qing to rebel, he led soldiers from Linzi, and he rebelled near Yishui, that would be insane."

"Could it be that something happened to Linzi? Could it be that Tian He died and Tian Yan succeeded?"

The people below laughed and said, "There are many of us in Linzi, and we are closer to Linzi. If it is true that Tian He died, we should know before they do. Besides, if Tian He died, we don't have to wait for the news to come." , Tian Yan must contact and negotiate with us first."

Analyzing it layer by layer, it seems that there is no reason at all. According to logic, the most likely is the feint attack that Liuzhi said to win the city and enter Lu, or Tian Wu is young and energetic and wants to gamble on luck in a decisive battle.

Although Shi was never afraid to use ugliness to speculate on the thoughts of nobles—especially after living in this era for 20 years and seeing and hearing a lot of dirty things in the court—he never thought that Tian Wu was going to use the whole The Linzi Legion was used as a bait, and he wanted to bring his elite private soldiers back for a coup d'état.

This kind of possibility was not unexpected, but he rejected it immediately because he felt that this kind of possibility did not exist.

Bury tens of thousands of Linzi troops, and run back by himself. Tian Shan also has power in Linzi, and once the people are incited, there is absolutely no basis for a coup.

The aristocratic coup still needs the support of the people in the capital, especially under the policy of allocating soldiers to farmers. If Linzi really opposes it, the coup cannot last.

But he forgot one thing, or he didn't consider the policies of the Mo family, which led to a problem with his inference.

The Mohists don’t kill captives, and righteous teachers don’t build capitals. The Mohists just signed an injustice order because of the massacre of Wucheng, so even if the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Linzi Legion were defeated, in the eyes of their relatives, they would just say “oh… Once captured, they will be sent back after the battle.”

This kind of burial is different from the previous burials. It is precisely because of this change that Tian Wu is sure that the people will not object to the coup when he goes back.

He doesn't need support, all he needs is no opposition, and that's enough.

But when it was time to veto this possibility, what was in mind was that the people in Linzi were opposed because their relatives were buried, and they didn't think too much about it.

Furthermore, in his opinion, the situation in the world cannot change within three years. It is useless to abandon the last field mobile corps and flee back to Linzi.

As far as the current situation of Wei State is concerned, not to mention three years, I am afraid that within five years, we will not be able to calm down and interfere.

It is even more impossible for South Korea to intervene by itself. Zheng Guo's big piece of fat is on his lips. Wei Guo is so weak that he doesn't need to look at Wei Guo's face. Why don't you indulge in annexing Zheng Guo to open up the situation in the Central Plains?
The State of Yan is also a soy saucer. If something like this happened to the State of Qi, the State of Yan would have to take a bite out of the State of Qi. Besides, the restoration of the State of Zhongshan is imminent. How dare the State of Yan interfere with other countries?
It is even more impossible for Zhao Guo to interfere. Instead of taking advantage of the opportunity of the nobleman's civil strife and killing to seize the reform, but to interfere with the Mohist family, this is really a kind of "internationalist spirit". For the gift of the world, he will not hesitate to give up a rare opportunity. Without this awareness.

If the state of Chu really wants to turn against the Mohist family, the first thing to do is not to stab a knife in the back, but to send all the Mohists and Mohist organizations out of the country like cutting abscesses before they dare to do it.

After waiting for nearly ten years, they waited for this opportunity to expand. Because of the chaotic situation in the Central Plains in the past few years, they boldly made excuses for friction on the Feitian border.

Therefore, in his opinion, after the battle of Nanjishui smashed the right wing of Qi State, the Mohists in the strategic mountains were actually in an invincible position.

Nanji Water is not the final decisive battle, but it is a decisive battle. The Linzi Legion, which has a large number of people and is more elite, actually died after the battle of Nanji Water and the Mohists seized Yingyi, Boyi, and Wenshui. It's nothing more than a matter of early death and late death.

He considered it from this point of view, comparing the country with others, the only way for the Qi country to be relieved now is to kill Tian He in the Tian Shan coup, hand over Tian Qing and Tian Wu, and ask the Mo family to leave immediately.

This is what he is most worried about. In that case, the strength of Qi State will not be lost too much, and there will be worries in the future when the Mo family expands southward and Chu State turns against each other.

The Mohist also said non-offensive, and there has not been a comprehensive public opinion shift in Sishang from non-offensive to unrighteous liberation, and the situation in the Central Plains is complicated. Although occupying the southwestern Shandong area is rich, it is also troublesome, so it must be withdrawn.

But after worrying for so long, this Tian Yan is really muddy and cannot support the wall. The opportunity is so good, there is still no coup.

Shi Xin said, no wonder in history, after Tian Shan was killed by Tian He, even his name in the history books was almost wiped out. If it weren't for the records of Chu people and Wei people, it seems that there is no such person in the history books of Qi State , really incompetent.

He had planned for the worst. Once the news of Tian Shan's coup came, the Yishi had no choice but to take the initiative to attack and defeat the Linzi Army before Qi State sued for peace.

But he made all the worst plans, and he still didn't expect Tian Wu to use such a meaningless method.

Tian Wu considered that the Mo family would be forced by the rules of the world to not move the monarch and find someone to replace him. Ke Shi had thought about this rule in his heart, or in terms of the current situation of the Mo family and the preparations for the public opinion shift after he succeeds the giant, Don't say that Tian Wu is the Marquis of Qi, even if Zhou Tianzi gave up to Tian Wu at this time, he would have to kill him.

The Mohists did not kill prisoners, which was the basis for Tian Wu's daring to flee back to Linzi for a coup.

Thinking that the Mohists would be forced by the rules of the world and not interrogate and kill the princes, this is the reason why Tian Wu decided to go back for a coup.

The former hadn't been considered, and the latter was a mistake of Tian Wu's thinking.

As a result, the Mo family was quite puzzled, not understanding what Tian Wu was trying to do.

…………

To the south of Yingyi, within the camp of the Qi army.

The turmoil of killing the commander and seizing the tiger talisman has just passed, whether the generals believe it or not, Tian Wu is a son after all. Although there are many doubts, he still pretends to believe that the Mo family assassinated Tian Qing.

The corpses of those dead soldiers were chopped into meat paste in public, Tian Wu cried bitterly for Tian Qing, only saying that the country lost good talents, the army lost good generals, and vowed to never die with the Mohists.

The soldiers didn't have much opinion on this, they were unwilling to wait here any longer, whether Tian Qing died or not had nothing to do with the soldiers, but the news of Tian Qing's assassination by the Mohist still secretly attracted the praise of many Qi soldiers , I think the Mo family is really a hero.

What's more, some soldiers thought to themselves that the Mohists did not kill the prisoners anyway, and they also said that the culprits were the princes and princes who started the unjust war. Now that the land in the north is still divided, if they really want to fight the Mohism, they should surrender as soon as possible.

Why bother to ruin your life for the injustice of the princes and nobles?

Tian Wu just wanted to make the soldiers homesick and not kill Tian Qing, but the army refused to accept it, but he didn't expect that the army's thoughts were not what he thought.

Now that he has seized the military power, he is the commander-in-chief. The generals in the army and his soldiers will be responsible for the specific matters. After convincing the generals, the capture of Yingyi is a foregone conclusion.

The reason is naturally sounding:

Linzi is at stake, and the country is about to fall, so we should fight to the death.This is for those gentlemen who want to die.

The Mohists divided the fields and land, and if they were defeated, the ancestors' foundations would belong to the peasants, and no one would sacrifice.This is for the fief nobles.

Under the overturned nest, there are no eggs?If you don't return to Linzi, the Tian family will perish.This is for Tian's relatives.

Doctors and scholars will be rewarded for all meritorious deeds in battle, which will boost the fighting spirit of the nobles.

After some actions, the plan was formalized, and the only ones who really knew the plan were his confidants and some doctors and generals who had made friends with him and were loyal to him.

At that time, those nobles in Feidi will resist the Ministry of Public Works and Mining. Because of hatred and fear, those nobles in Feidi will fight to the death, and they don't want to be arrested and hanged.

The main force of the Linzi Legion stormed Yingyi, creating the illusion that Yingyi was going to be captured in order to return to Linzi.

He led more than [-] cronies, scholars, doctors loyal to him, private soldiers and some Linzi elite soldiers. He abandoned his luggage and carried dry food. Break through the obstacles of a small number of volunteers, arrive at Judi, gather the soldiers there to act in the name of defending Linzi.

His father would not blame him for ruining the Linzi Army, and he led the troops back to force Tian Shan to do it.

Because his attitude is obviously that he wants to go back to seize power and coup d'état. If Tian Yan takes action, then Tian Shan will be charged with the crime of killing the king and relatives, and the army in the name of defending Linzi can immediately become an army of suppressing the rebellion and avenging his father. .

There is no better excuse than this reason. He is forcing Tian Shan to kill his father.

If Tian Shan doesn't act, then he will act first, in the name of this coup d'etat, get rid of Tian Shan, and work together with his father to clean up the remnants left by his uncle.

No matter how you look at it, there is nothing wrong with it.The [-] elites escaped with no luggage, and with tens of thousands of troops as bait, the Mohists would certainly be unable to catch up.

In the tent, the counselor who had already put on Tian Wu's clothes said: "When the time comes, son, I will pretend to be son. I only said that I can't see the wind because of rashes, and command in the car. Even though the Mohists are good at fighting, they can't see through such schemes." , when the army was defeated, the young master thought he had already entered the Great Wall."

"I am here to pray for the young master. On the day the young master passes the Great Wall, he must be cut down by Beixiang himself to send the young master off."

After the counselor finished speaking, he said: "If your son's matter fails, the Mo family will be aware of it, and you can't cross the Yishui...Young master, please remember that if you flee with your surname, I will cut your own face and burn your body at that time, so that the Mo family will not know that your son has passed away." Flee. After this battle, the world will be shaken. The princes of the Central Plains may not dare to protect and take you in. No matter how close Chu, Qin, Zhao and Mo are, you can go to Lai, cross North Korea, hide your name, and live in the country of Jizi."
