warring states careerist

Chapter 636

When the messengers who brought the news that Tian Wu had appeared in Yishui area rushed to Yingyi, the battle of Yingyi was coming to an end.

This was a battle without any suspense. The Qi army, who had no fighting spirit, stormed Yingyi for several days without any results. They dug a trench and were counterattacked. The soldiers were full of despair for this battle.

On the volunteer side, with the aftermath of the First Battle of Nanji Water, the pride of breaking Pingyang City for several days, the excitement of the last battle, and the most important discipline, training, and weapons that have opened up the gap in the past 20 years, this battle There are few highlights.

The most simple and commonly used tactic, which is easy to see through, is to use the mobility advantages of cavalry and horizontal infantry to encircle the two wings first, but even knowing this simple tactic, the Qi army still has no way to crack it.

More than 500 nobles with sergeants and above were captured, 4 Qi troops died in battle, more than 100 Qi troops surrendered, and more than [-] nobles or soldiers committed suicide.

Shi, who is nearly forty years old, has lost the vigor and vigor of his youth. Compared with Xiang Yu, who rose up to destroy Qin at the age of 20 and destroyed Qin at the age of 25, he joined the Mohist family for 20 years before he could defeat a state of Qi.

But he is still very satisfied, after all, he never thought of being compared with those geniuses who have shone in the starry sky of history.

After this battle, Qi State has no mobile corps and no ability to fight in the field. As long as the situation of the world allows, the Mohists can stay as long as they want in Qi State, and they can attack any city they want to attack Qi State.

Facing the soldiers who were counting the captives all over the mountains and plains, Shi said to the officers: "The matter of captives is not a trivial matter, and we must pay attention to it."

"Thanks to Marquis Qi, if it wasn't for him, how could tens of thousands of people gather together? Without gathering tens of thousands of people together, how could it be possible to promote the morality of Mohism in the most efficient way?"

"On weekdays, common people live together in villages, like potatoes in the field. You have to dig them out one by one. If tens of thousands of people want to preach morality, it may take hundreds of Mohist. Now, Dozens or more than a hundred are enough, and the effect is better."

"So, the cruel and dirty nobles are full-time revolutionaries; those princes who gather scattered people into the army in order to launch unjust wars are the best friends of the Propaganda Department..."

Just after saying this, the messenger who ran from Yishui passed the news to Shi's hands.

Shi looked at the news on the note and frowned. The news on the note was the news that Tian Wu had appeared by the Yishui River.

A brigade of soldiers can't stop 8000 people, and Shih thinks it's okay for the Mohists in the brigade to try their best to stop it in Yishui.

In terms of rules, the decision made by the brigade first held a Mohist meeting, although it violated the order above, but because the basic information of the above order was wrong, it was okay.

But how to solve this matter, he must make a quick decision.

There is no doubt that Yu Tu's brigade can't stop the eight thousand Qi army. After all, each brigade has never had the experience of fighting alone. They usually fight in groups. With the cooperation of various arms, each brigade is basically A single pawn.

But how many days can you keep it?It depends on Yu Tu's level.But even if troops are dispatched to march quickly, it will take at least a few days.

He doesn't care where Tian Wu goes, as long as the battle in Yingyi is over, Qi will be a weak persimmon, and he can pinch it as he wants, and the matter has come to this point, and the order to punish injustice has been issued, which cannot be compromised For political issues, it is useless for anyone to intercede. The big deal is to fight to the death and start a war against the princes of the world in advance.

What he cares about is the soldiers of that brigade, and what he fears most is that the soldiers of this brigade will be wiped out by the establishment.

At this time, he didn't care about managing the battlefield, so he hurriedly called everyone to discuss the matter. After explaining the situation, he asked the Mohist who was in charge of intelligence, "Is Tian Yan's secret envoy still there?"

"Yes. Just congratulated us for winning the battle of Yingyi, and praised us for not killing prisoners and not building a Beijing temple."

Tian Shan's secret envoy had been in secret contact with the Mohists, so he thought for a while and said, "I think this matter should be divided into two steps. It is our business to send troops to support Yu Tu's brigade. But in case Tian Wu runs away before our support Now, we have to consider the possibility of him going back for a coup."

"Well, I suggest... Let Tian Yan's secret envoy clarify this matter now. If Tian Yan is willing, then a coup can be done in the name of punishing injustice. We support it and promise that we will withdraw our troops after the coup succeeds."

"For Tian Shan, the situation is critical now. Tian Wu is already in a hurry, and he has no other possibility except to launch a coup."

"Our conditions can be discussed slowly, such as the restrictions on the dissemination of Mohist preaching after we leave, and the revenge on the people in the subdivided areas... can be discussed slowly in the future. But there is one thing that must be discussed clearly now Yes, let Tian Shan hand over Tian Wu."

"Tell Tian Yan that if necessary, withdraw the defenses of Changcheng, and we can directly send troops to help him put down the rebellion."

He always felt that Tian Shan's mud could not support the wall. In history, he ascended to the position of Marquis of Qi as a prince and was overthrown by Tian Wu's coup, which is considered extremely incompetent.

He had waited for so long, and when the news of Tian He's serious illness came, Tian Yan hadn't staged a coup yet, and was still on the sidelines, and now he must be put under some pressure.

The Tian Shan coup was beneficial to the Mohists.Shi also didn't believe that Tian Shan could think of benefiting the world at all, but the first thing Tian Shan came to power in the coup was to make peace immediately, and use the power of the Mohist to clear the land and a series of nobles.

Now the conditions he gave are enough to tempt Tian Yan: If you can't do it, get out of Changcheng, and we will help you kill your brother.

No matter how many words there are, I don't think it needs to be said. I think the most urgent thing now is Tian Yan.

This time, Tian Wu ruined the Linzi Legion and fled as the coach after Tian Qing's death. If there is no coup, it will really be a dead end.

Tian Wu's desperation is crazy, and Tian Yan has to deal with it, Qi State can no longer fight.

The Ju and Jimo legions did not dare to move, the Pingyin legion was destroyed, the Linzi legion was destroyed, and the mobile field force was lost. The land reform in full swing here has already made the nobles panic, especially the fief nobles north of the Great Wall. The fire burned to the north of the Great Wall.

Based on this realistic judgment, Shi felt that this would be a perfect opportunity.

Arresting Tian Wu for trial was to expand the influence of the Mohists, and it was also to demonstrate justice.

However, Tian Wu fled back to the coup and forced Qi's civil strife, which was exactly his utilitarian wish.

This matter should not be delayed. After the agreement, they first notified Sishang and Gongzaoye, and at the same time dispatched cavalry to support Yishui.

…………

Qi State Linzi.

Before the rise of Sishang, this wealthy city was regarded as the number one city in the world, but now it is full of depression.

A large number of young and strong who have not returned from the battle, news of repeated defeats, rumors that Wei Han betrayed the alliance and negotiated peace with the Mohists separately, Tian He is seriously ill, etc., all of which made the city a bit lifeless.

Many laborers were still hurrying to build the city wall. A few fast horses crossed the city gate and went straight into Tian Shan's mansion.

Tian Yan immediately summoned the advisers and cronies around him to look at the conditions of the Mohists together.

The doctor in Changcheng was from Tian Shan's side. As for being escorted by foreign countries into the capital for a coup, it was common for him to do so, but Tian Shan really didn't want to do that.

Because the Mo family is not other vassals, the Mo family's land reform south of the Great Wall has offended half of the nobles in the Qi country too deeply. If he gets too close to the Mo family, then he, the prince or Qihou, will not be able to sit securely.

But the secret envoy said: "Young Master, you have no worries. People from the Mo family have said that if you are hindered by the opposition of the nobles, you only need to let go of Changcheng, and the Mo family will send a large number of captives back to Linzi as an establishment. As the main force guarding Linzi to prevent a coup."

Tian Yan was stunned for a moment, then asked: "What does the Mohist mean, let me get rid of Changcheng, and let the captives of the Qi people come back in an organized way to suppress the rebellion?"

The secret envoy said: "That's exactly what it means. The soldiers in the army are very dissatisfied with Tian Wu, especially this time when they escaped from the battle. When the Mohists gave lectures to the captives, they said that Tian Wu was an ambitious man who wanted to use the dead bones of tens of thousands of Linzi people." The ambitious man who built a ladder to climb to the position of Marquis of Qi doesn't care about the life and death of tens of thousands of Linzi soldiers, all he wants is the position of Marquis of Qi..."

When Tian Yan heard this, he clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Okay! Well said! This thing can be done."

The secret envoy thought to himself, he only said half of what he said just now. In fact, when the Mohists and the captives were giving lectures, he even insinuated about how the Linqiu and the Tian clan used that weapon 20 years ago when the three Jins attacked Qi. The [-] heads of Qi people were used as a ladder to overthrow Jiang Qi-that time, Qi Hou, who had no real power and money, issued an order to refuse to redeem the corpses and prisoners, and to be a blame man, which led to the loss of people's hearts.

After saying this halfway, a counselor said: "Young Master, I'm afraid it's not too late. If Young Master Wu returns, the Junhou will be in a hurry. I'm afraid it will be difficult to seize power by relying on Young Master Wu alone, so the king is afraid I'm going to attack you before I die."

"Besides, once Mr. Wu Shuai's army returns, at that time, people will kill me with knives and I will be slaughtered. Don't you hear about the chaos of the five sons back then? The current strategy is to strike first."

"With Linzi in hand, then Young Master Wu can't make trouble. He will command the army back, and with Lin Zi in hand, we will make peace with the Mo family, let go of Changcheng, let the Mo family come forward to defeat Young Master Wu, and we will be invincible."

"This matter is not for killing the king, but for punishing the unjust king. Tell the people that if the unjust king is not punished, the Mohists will not be at peace, and they will not be released as captives. The people of Linzi will definitely support it."
