Chapter 255: Jing Song's Soldiers' Hearts Shake (13)
When Childe heard that his father had the intention of killing the army and forming an alliance, he was even more dissatisfied.
Two years ago, he was handsome, and the Han and Zhao families met in Pingyin, broke Jiang Qi, built 30,000 views of Beijing, and the world shook.
But this kind of martial arts, compared to the fact that the Mo family attacked the Chu camp at night with hundreds of elites to force the king of Chu to form an alliance, after all, it is still a little less legendary.
Now that he heard that his father had such a meaning, he got up and said, "Father, Wei now has tens of thousands of people with armor, how can he be afraid of hundreds of ink people?" Moreover, how the ink man has written out the methods of night attack, as long as he is on guard, can he still repeat the defeat of the Chu people? ”
He thought of Qin Gongzilian's persuasive words again, and said: "Now that the improved varieties and iron tools have been innovated, the Central Plains such as Zheng, Wei, and Song are all anointed land. Now that the soldiers are killed, won't those anointed soil be hard to get hands on? ”
Li Kui on the side got up and said, "Childe, is the king afraid of those hundreds of ink people?" Have you ever heard of a fable written by the Mo family's fittest? ”
"The tiger seeks a hundred beasts and eats them, and the fox wins. The fox said: 'Zi Wu dares to eat me!' The Emperor of Heaven made me grow a hundred beasts, and this son eats me, which is against the order of the Emperor of Heaven. The Son thinks that I don't believe it, I am the Son first, the Son follows me, and I dare not go when I see the beasts? 'The tiger thought so, so he did with it; The beast walks away when it sees it. The tiger does not know that the beast is afraid of itself and walks away, thinking that it is afraid of the fox. ”
"Mo family, fox also. Jin Chu, Tiger also. Chu Chengmeng killed the soldiers, and the one he feared was not Mo, but Jin. Jin Cheng is an alliance to kill soldiers, and the one who is afraid is not Mo, but Chu. If Jin and Chu are defeated, then Qi, Zheng, Wei, and Lu are all allies. ”
"In the Mohist mechanical method, there is the technique of specimen leverage, which is the case. As he said, a bottle of wine can pry the top of a thousand jun, and they are skillful in using this kind of specimen, which is really admirable for their wisdom. ”
The story of the fox and the fake tiger that appeared only when King Chu Xuan appeared decades earlier, and the original meaning was not changed, and the situation used by Li Kui was not wrong, which is exactly the meaning.
The fox said that the Emperor of Heaven made him grow a hundred beasts. The Mohists said that the Emperor of Heaven made him get the will of heaven, and judged the right and wrong rules of the world with the will of heaven.
In the end, whether the Emperor of Heaven exists or not is secondary, and the rest of the beasts see the tiger following the fox, not the Emperor of Heaven as the fox said.
Gongzi reluctantly sat down again, and Wei Siquan asked the ministers: "This matter of the fox and the tiger is powerful, and the Mo family pretends to be in the name of the Emperor of Heaven, but no one can refute it. ”
"Those gunpowder and other sharp weapons to defend the city have been sold to the Chu State, only saying that they are for defending the city, and that Xiong Dang has sworn to live his life and not to fight unjustly."
"What can we do now that this has happened?"
Gongzi muttered: "If the army is sent as soon as possible, the Mo family will have no chance to pretend to be the power of the Chu people." ”
Weiss shook his head and said, "How early can we send troops?" I watched everyone in the Mo family, but I was afraid that from the beginning, I never wanted to rely on our three Jin to send troops. They were afraid that from the time they went to Shangqiu, they had already thought of how to break the Chu people, thinking that they were 'benefiting the world'! ”
"From the siege of the city in April to the breaking of the battle in June, between two months, even if the army is dispatched in April, is it possible to rush to Shangqiu to defeat the Chu people?"
Wei Si sighed and rolled up those few pieces of straw, now there are also straw silks in the Wei Palace, and he often uses them, and many things of the Mo family have melted into the world like the rain of moisturizing things.
Li Kuijin said: "Since the people of the Mo family spread like this in the market, or in a few days, the bird slippery may come to the king in person and promote the third alliance of the army. ”
"I look at the words of the Mohists, there is a great meaning of spreading iron seeds, they want to benefit the world, and they may as well kill soldiers. If the people are profitable, the country will be strong. In two seasons a year, taxes are doubled, civilians are doubled, soldiers use their lives, and military soldiers can also train more. ”
"The Chu people are valusive, it is difficult to do anything, but in the end it is still beneficial to us."
Weiss nodded, "I have the same intention. ”
"There are many people in the Song Kingdom, and there is no need to talk about this country."
"Han Wuzi attacked Zheng and killed Yougong, and the people set up his brother Zheng Xiao and vowed to avenge this revenge.
"The Mo family is like this, and the Zheng people will be allied. At that time, the Mo family will help the Zheng people defend the city, and when the Chu people come to help, how can we be undefeated when we go on an expedition to the trapped city? ”
"Besides, Lu Yang Gong and Yang Cheng Jun are both brave and brave soldiers, and the Chu people can send troops at any time...... Zheng Ren and Chu people are in-lawed, there is a prince, can Chu people not be saved? ”
Wei Si has not yet dealt with Xiong Dang, the king of Chu, but from Xiong Dang's Northern Expedition, it can also be seen that this person must have the heart to dominate the Central Plains, and the timing is excellent.
If it weren't for the Mo family making such a legend in Shangqiu, it would have been inevitable for the Chu people to go north this time and attack from Daliang to force the guards to make a pilgrimage.
The three families were divided, just cut down, and they were exhausted.
And Xiong Dang is famous for his division, although it is to avoid the morale of the soldiers when he defeated the Qi State, but he can claim to be a benevolent and righteous monarch to the outside world: there is no conquest during the mourning period, and the Song Duke died for exactly three years, so he went on the expedition, and there are not too many doubts and reproaches from the outside world.
There are a lot of Chu people, and the county dukes have power, and some things are also very quick to deal with: if the Sanjin besiege Zheng, they are hindered by the Mo family's defense of the city, and their morale is tired, Yangchengjun and Luyanggong and other county dukes will definitely seize the opportunity to raise troops to rescue and start a war.
Moreover, Wei Si also heard that Lu Yanggong once treated Mozi with the courtesy of a teacher, and the Mo family had disciples who were friendly with the son of Yangcheng Jun, and once they had the opportunity, the two would never miss the opportunity to send troops.
This time, the Mo family used the three not heavy weights of the legendary battle, the terrifying gunpowder, and the instigation of the market, and leveraged the situation of the whole day.
It sounds ridiculous that the Third Warrior Meeting may actually succeed.
The two countries of Jin and Chu are competing for hegemony, which is the bipolar power of the world at this time, as long as the two countries restrain each other to reach a balance of terror, the rest of the countries will also join.
Because the Qin people were beaten and lost, Xihe could only retreat, and even Hangu Pass and Kun Pass seemed impossible to see in this life; Qi Guotian's regime, Jiang Qi is weak, and he has just experienced a major defeat; The Yue people had no chance to get their hands on the Central Plains; Zhao Guo was already dissatisfied with the behavior of the Three Jin Dynasty to attack the Central Plains and he couldn't even drink the soup......
In all kinds of chaotic situations, the Chu people were forced to form an alliance, so the Wei people had to make an alliance.
Now it seems that the Mo family is just building momentum, and has not officially sent someone to meet the monarch, and this matter can still be discussed.
If you want to discuss, you should also consider the opinions of the rest of the important ministers who are not in Anyi, so as to show respect for them, and it is also to listen and understand, but also to make them feel their attention.
So Wei Si said: "In this way, I sorted these out and passed them on to Wu Qi, Beimen Ke, Ximen Leopard, Le Yangzi and others, and asked them what they thought?" ”
…………
In Wuqi in Xihe, those who preceded the Marquis of Wei to deliver the message knew what happened in Shangqiu first.
After the messenger of the Marquis of Wei arrived, he passed on the order of the Marquis of Wei and gave Wu Qi many rewards and jades, and then asked his opinion on this matter.
Wu Qi was grateful to Weiss for his reuse, he was a scholar, his reputation was not good, and he could be so reused, he felt that he could only do his best to repay his kindness.
It's just that a while ago about whether to send troops, there was a conflict between him and Gongzi, and he was very uneasy.
The servants who stayed in Anyi spread some rumors about Anyi, which made Wu Qi even more anxious.
Before the Shangqiu incident, there were some rumors in Anyi for some reason.
Wu Qi felt that these rumors were probably spread by Qin Gongzilian and those who were good at words.
Because Wu Qi has also read a lot of Mohist articles in the past two years, he feels that the theory of these rumors is very consistent with the contradictions of the Mohists.
The rumor only said: Wu Qi is a scholar, there is no fiefdom, just Xihe Shou. Therefore, he is a virtuous person, and he can go to any country to be a prime minister, because there is no family and no fiefdom drag.
Now that Li Kui is old, if he does not use Wu Qi as his prime minister in the future, Wu Qi will die. The four kingdoms of Qi, Qin, Chu and Zhao can all become famous ministers.
He also said that he knew how to make good use of his soldiers, and that all rewards would be given to his soldiers, and that he would share weal and woe with them, and that his heart would be great. As a result, the people of Xihe only knew that there was a guard of Xihe, but they did not know that there was a Marquis of Wei.
Besides, Wu Qi killed his wife and begged for a general, and his ambition was great, if he didn't do it, he would not be able to stay in Wei for a long time. Its people will enter and exit, and they can go anywhere in the world......
Wei Si didn't even mention these rumors, obviously he trusted Wu Qi very much, but Wu Qi knew that Wei Si was seventy years old, how long could he reign?
Like Tian Zifang, he is good at knowing people, where does he not know the character of Gongzi?
It's just that when he sent troops a while ago, he really wanted to repay Weiss for his kindness, and he had to uphold his own ideas, everything was for Wei's rise.
He didn't agree to send troops to save Song at all, and he didn't want Weiss to care about this meaningless hegemony at all.
Because in Wu Qi's view, the times have changed, and it is no longer the Spring and Autumn Period where hegemony reigns, but the real turmoil of the strife among the nations.
What can you do to save Song? What can you do if you get the Song court's appointment?
Zheng Han is a mortal enemy, if the Song people are against Chu, and the Chu people have an advantage in the Song, Daliang, and Zheng lines, the greatest pressure is not Wei, but Han.
The Koreans bear the brunt of the attack, they have to deal with both Zheng and Chu, and when the time comes, where will there be a way to survive except for clinging to the Wei State?
The land bordering Wei and Chu is nothing more than the West River.
However, there was the danger of the peach forests of Bear's Ear Mountain, Huashan Mountain, and Kuafu Mountain, and the Chu people had no chance to organize an attack there.
Moreover, Wu Qi also has self-confidence, if the Chu people dare to come, he can let the Chu people know the heroes of the warriors.
In the Central Plains generation, there was still a Weiguo buffer between Wei and Song, even if the Song people were forced to go to Chu, they would have two hearts, and the Chu people would not be able to threaten the essence of Wei at all.
But what about South Korea?
They and Zheng Guo are intertwined, and the western front is dealing with the Nanyang Plain, the essence of Chu State, and Daliang City is like a wedge separating Korea from two enclaves.
If you want to be the overlord, then it is natural to save Song.
But if he didn't want to be the overlord, Wu Qi felt that it was completely unnecessary to save Song at this time.
At that time, the first to panic must be South Korea, South Korea will not be able to defeat the Zheng Chu coalition army, and it is worried that Zheng Ren will regain the blood feud of the past.
More than a decade later, Korea could only be vassalized with Wei.
For more than ten years, Wu Qi felt that in the past ten years, he could continue to oppress the Qin people, invade Guanzhong, and weaken the Qin people.
At that time, there will be Korean vassals in the Central Plains, and there will be the wealth of the West River, so that they can get out of the mountains and rivers of the Three Jin Dynasty and attack the Central Plains.
Why bother to be such a vain overlord? The Chu people retreat south, and the Koreans will have two hearts! The Zhao people are eyeing behind their backs, waiting for the decline of the Wei State, where can they still think about what kind of overlord they can be at this time?
