Under the cruel artificial selection, the aristocratic family that is not proficient in infighting is actually unable to continue to the present.

There are a lot of killings in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it has only been a few years since the Tian family divided the three families of Qi? Besides, Xiong Liangfu and a group of nobles were originally on the throne in a coup d'état, and the palace intrigues of the Chu State were no less than those of the Central Plains countries, and they even played a lot of tricks.

If the king of Chu leaves, he will definitely have to rely on these Jiang and Han feudal lords to make the basic plate - maybe a few months ago they were still against centralization, and once they left the fiefdom in the north, these feudal lords will immediately support the royal power.

After all, in the north, these Jiang and Han feudal monarchs are only the rest of the bloodline, and they can't stand with the king.

The feudal monarchs north of Yanying, Jianghan and Han are not easy to deal with, and one by one the families are deeply rooted there, and they have never been the basic plate of the rule of the king of Chu, which is also the reason why the king of Chu and the nobles of Jianghan chose to defend Yi and Hubei at the beginning and did not immediately choose to flee north.

After escaping, the king of Chu, who did not have the title of the Son of Heaven and the tradition of centralization of power, was just the largest feudal monarch, especially after the coup d'état.

In addition, it is not possible to recapture Jianghan in a short period of time, which makes it even more necessary to consider many issues.

The former king of Chu's centralized power change offended too many nobles, and now is not the era of pioneering mountains and forests, who wants to go to a poor mountain and sparse place to be a feudal monarch?

Now these offended feudal lords support Xiong Liangfu, because Xiong Liangfu promised that after taking the throne, he would decide that the change was "a conspiracy against morality, easy to use weapons, and against the heavens".

It's just that it is the king of Chu who implements the change, since he wants to go against the way of heaven, he can't say that his father is wrong, but as soon as the king of Chu dies, it must be the rebels around the king of Chu who are doing treachery and instigating the king to change the law and go against the way of heaven.

This is similar to a coup d'état on the side of the king, and then these nobles who have been thrown to the outlying areas are invited back first, otherwise his position will not be stable.

Now the situation in Jianghan is out of control, and the king of Chu also knows that his real basic plate is not those new armies of the king's division, but these nobles who have lost their fiefdoms in Jianghan.

As long as he still has an army in his hand, when he reaches the north, he can gain a foothold, regain enough power from those feudal lords, and gradually centralize power in the name of revenge for the restoration of the country.

Those Wang Shi Xinjun are basically the beneficiaries of the previous changes, and they belong to the farmers who grant land, and these people are unreliable.

One is that he was deeply influenced by the Mo family, and the other is that after going to the north, he must have returned to his heart.

However, those fiefdom apprentices, slaves, etc. in the army can be used.

If more small nobles and descendants of the royal family in the Jianghan region can flee together, they can also be absorbed as the main force in the army, and they can be tempted by military merits.

In addition, the fugitives will basically lose their own fiefdoms, and after running to the north, they can use this to ask for land and power from those feudal monarchs.

In the future, if he can fight back to Jianghan with the help of the princes, then he can be regarded as the lord of the Zhongxing of the Chu State, after all, after being swept away by the Mo family, it will be easier to centralize power and change if he fights back.

Thinking that in the face of the Mo family, who is aggressive and does not leave a way back for the noble princes, they will at least choose to resist together.

The king of Chu even felt that the Mo family would force the entire nobles to the opposite side of the Mo family: in the past battles of Wu, Chu, Qi and Jin, the nobles at most changed their allegiance. Such as the Gongsun Hui of Qi, who defected to Zhao Di after the rebellion, is not the same as continuing to be a doctor in Sanjin and guarding the fiefdom of Liqiu?

But the Mo family actually did not accept the surrender of the Yue Kingdom, and also said that they would drive the nobles of the Yue Kingdom to the land of no one to divide the feudal country, isn't this forcing the nobles of the world to death? The aristocracy is expensive because there are untouchables, how can it be expensive without cheapness? This simple Taoist truth, which nobleman does not know? As the ruling class, it is always more sober than the notified class, and the ancestors have overcome all obstacles, not so that the descendants can overcome the obstacles and re-establish the country.

Although the world is big, there is only one Kyushu, and if you rush to other places, what is the cost if there is no one to work? Could it be that the aristocrats guarded thousands of acres of land and were self-reliant, planting rice and cutting sugar cane?

Xiong Liangfu still has such an awareness, although it is inevitable that there will be some self-consolation when he wants to run and think about these problems at this time, but after all, he can still see some hope.

He also knew the reason why the Jiang and Han feudal monarchs chose to fight to the death, saying that it was for the sake of the Chu State Sheji, but in fact it was for the family fiefdom and interests. If it was really for the sake of Chu Guosheji, where would he launch this coup d'état with him?

At this point, after Xiong Liangfu made a statement, he immediately broke down the unanimous attitude of the Jianghan feudal monarchs.

Some people are afraid, some people are worried, some people want to make a comeback, some people feel that failure is a foregone conclusion, some people want to continue to defend themselves, and some people feel that there is still hope.

As a result, the nobles of the Jiang and Han feudal monarchs, who originally unanimously hoped that Xiong Liangfu would fight to the death here, were divided.

In this case, Xiong Liangfu made a statement, so whoever shouted the most joy, had the highest title, and had the most power was likely to be left behind.

So who wants to stay and break off? Shen Gong just died, a shocking battle, dozens of battle casualties were solved in an hour, who wants to stay behind under the huge shadow?

Although you may lose a lot by fleeing north, you will lose everything if you stay here.

It was difficult for everyone to communicate their thoughts, let alone quickly exchange views and reach an agreement, so there was no one to stand up against the escape.

It's okay if they're all against it.

Wouldn't it be nice if I stood up against it, but others didn't, and I was left behind?

If everyone is united, they all stay and fight with the elite of the Mo family, although it seems that there is little chance of victory now, but there may still be hope.

But if someone wants to run and someone wants to fight, this battle can't be fought.

It is not that there are no loyal and patriotic people in the Chu State, but most of them died in the previous coup d'état, after all, now the loyal and patriotic people with long brains understand that all countries are changing the law, and the situation in the Chu State will be over if it remains unchanged.

Standing on the side of the feudal nobles, most of them put the interests of the family first, the propaganda of the Mo family in recent years has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, what tradition and what ancestral law, is just a skin to cover up the relationship of interests, the nobles are convinced, so they must shout slogans to prove that they are not so.

Everyone was silent, but in fact, they had already acquiesced in the strategy of retreating.

Although it is better to retreat early, or to either not fight or leave early, but after all, I feel that it is difficult to hold on.

But retreating is not a rout, you always need to block the Mo family's pursuers.

Since he gave up the idea of breaking the enemy in the field, the city in the rear is the only city in Chu that can block the pursuit of the Mo family.

Of course, it will definitely not be able to hold it, but it should be no problem to delay it for a while.

The monarchs and ministers looked at each other, and the king of Chu said: "If the army withdraws, no one will hold back, the chasing army is approaching, and everyone will be defeated. What can I do? ”

"According to the widow's opinion, the Mo family attacked the west from the east and entered Jianghan, which was already the end of the storm, and the strength could not be drifted. But if the Mo family gets the grain and grass of the city to replenish and recruit the people, I am afraid that they can continue to pursue. ”

"Yicheng is not a big city, nor is it a giant city, even if Mo Zhai is resurrected, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defend it at this time."

"What can I do?"

The ministers looked at each other, thinking that this was not an obvious thing?

Now the only thing that can stop the pursuit of the Mo family army is a fire that will turn the city into ashes and burn the people of the city so that it cannot be used by the Mo family, and take advantage of the dry weather in winter to light a fire, not only to burn the city, but also to burn the mountains and forests near the city.

At the end of the storm, the force cannot be bleached.

I have to say that the words of the king of Chu are very reasonable, attacking from east to west is different from attacking from north to south.

Attacking from east to west, rushing all the way from the mouth of the Yangtze River to Echeng, this must be stopped for a while, otherwise there will be problems with logistics and supply, and it has been two or three months of operation, so it is said that it needs to be repaired.

This is not a matter of repairing and not pursuing, but delaying the time to organize the defense north of Yanying, the Mo family chased here and then went deep into Jianghan, and if they wanted to break through some cities north of Yanying, they could only repair.

But if you can't delay time in Yicheng, the king of Chu and the nobles are running, and the Mo family is chasing behind, then there is really no need to trim, how fast you run, how fast you can chase.

If you can't block it a little, it's hard to get rid of it at all.

The city can't be defended, but if it can't be held, it doesn't mean that it can't stop the Mo family, you can burn it clean, together with the nearby mountains and forests, and all the cultivated land, and stop the enemy with fire, so as to buy time.

This is an obvious matter, the king of Chu not only said that the city could not be defended, but also said that he had to find a way to delay time, and everyone could not hear the subtext?

can be heard, but no one dares to answer.

Setting fire to the city is a trivial matter.

It's winter now, if the summer flood comes, put it like this in the past, dig up the river embankment and flood the Mo family's chasing soldiers, and don't hesitate to turn Hubei into a lake, it is also a trivial matter.

However, this is not the case anymore.

All the ministers understood that at this time, whoever dared to propose means such as setting fire to the city and digging rivers to flood the river would definitely be on the list of the Mo family's unjust orders.

The matter has come to this point, not that everyone really has the heart of benevolence and righteousness to abide by the alliance of Heze in the past, but they dare not abide by it.

In the past, all countries complied with it, that was because each country checked and balanced each other, if Wei dared to dig the Yellow River and the Mo family went to war, the surrounding countries would definitely hold high the banner of righteousness and carve up Wei.

Now that the Chu State is feuding, it is because the battle has already been fought to this point, and the future is uncertain, especially when the Mo family has force and violence to maintain those morals, no one wants to provoke themselves.

One reason is that the unjust order is signed, and it is on the list, in case the princes send troops to intervene and draw the game, the Mo family said that the people who killed the people must be executed, and the story of Qi Gongziwu must be executed, otherwise there will be no peace talks? Who can guarantee that they will not be sold when the time comes?

Another one, Sishang has brought a lot of changes to the world over the years, all kinds, covering almost all groups of people in the world.

The same is true for the ancient professions of "knight" and "assassin".

In the past, the Assassins had a lot of petty righteousness but no great righteousness.

Since Nie Zheng's assassination of Qin, after the Mo family hyped up the so-called difference between great righteousness and small righteousness, the three views of a chivalrous assassin have gradually undergone many changes.

Although some people continue to serve the feudal emperor to be loyal ministers and warriors, there are also some chivalrous warriors who think that they should do the way for heaven and achieve great famy.

Many chivalrous warriors don't like the extremely strict discipline of the Mo family, so they don't join the Mo family, but if the Mo family really signs the injustice order, there will definitely be assassins with great righteousness to jump out.

After the assassination, he was always proud of it, claiming responsibility for it. This kind of thing has happened many times, and there have even been cases of throwing gunpowder bombs into the homes of some aristocrats who are acting harshly, or ambushing horse-drawn carriages or even killing entire families.

If something happens, you run, and if you run away, you can't catch it, and then the market becomes famous, and everyone in the rivers and lakes is called a hero. The heroes are the so-called heroes of righteousness rather than small righteousness.

The Mo family has now basically achieved the "righteousness of the upper class", and the changes in the three views of the past 30 years have been quietly carried out, and now there have changed a lot, and there are naturally many swordsmen in the market who want to be heroes and do not want to be heroes.
