Chapter 369: The Gentleman's Golden Drum (10)

Hu Feizi sent an envoy to the State of Qi, which was a strategy of the Mo family, just to make the people of Yue think that the restoration of Teng State was supported by Qi State.

Tian didn't care that the Mo family took advantage of him, on the contrary, he was very excited after hearing that the Mo family helped Teng Guo restore the country...... The Surabaya Valley is the foundation of the hegemony of the vassal states of the Yue State in the north, and the more the toss there, the more the Yue State may give up and retreat north to Wu Yue.

In Tian's eyes, the Mo family is not a threat, at least for the time being, they don't feel that their threat is greater than that of Yue Guo, in Tian's eyes, it is nothing more than a group of fools who want to benefit the world, at most it is the strength of a Yi doctor.

Qi Guo will not directly say that he will send troops to fight against Yue Guo, and he also has this attitude of talking about "providence" and not talking about serious things in the temple area.

The Yue State is powerless to resist the combined forces of the Qi State and the Mo Family, so even if the attitude is so bad, the temple area cannot go away in anger, and it seems that the best outcome in this situation can be won by an ambiguous and ambiguous attitude of the Qi State.

In Linzi unhappily dispersed, the temple area went to Lu again, because many nobles of Teng were in Lu State, this time King Yue wanted to meet in Yishui, hoping that Lu State would support the scene.

In terms of military strength, a few years ago, Lu Hou was forced to drive by King Yue.

In terms of affection, Lu Hou was oppressed by the Ji Sun clan back then, fled out, and Yue took in Lu Hou.

However...... After Lu Guo was the Duke of Zhou, he was very "courteous".

At that time, the princes of the Gou Jian Alliance were in Xuzhou, learning from Wu Guofu, and calling the princes of the inner city and the Central Plains countries, and later Zhou Tianzi also recognized that the Yue Kingdom was "Bo", which was not the uncle of the princes of the princes, but the title of a special overlord prince.

Therefore, Lu Hou felt that it was reasonable for him to drive for King Yue.

However, now that Yue Wang is going to meet in Yishui, then there is a big problem: Fei Guoshen will not participate?

Fei is a trespass country, and the world knows that it is a doctor arrogating the country, but nominally it is still a vassal state of the Lu country, although it is actually a tributary Yue country.

Lu Guo Zhou ceremony atmosphere is strong, Lu Hou said that this time Yishui Alliance, if Lu Hou participates, Fei Guo will not be able to participate, otherwise what is going on?

It is impossible and absolutely unacceptable for the monarch of a vassal state to sit at the same table with the monarch of a suzerain.

The fact that he transgressed the country is a fact, but the name is the name, and Lu Hou is also looking for an excuse not to wade into this troubled water...... Because the temple area came from Qi State, Lu State already knew Qi State's attitude, so he didn't want to provoke fire this time.

For Yue, Fei is an important vassal state, after all, the country is small and easy to control, and it is absolutely impossible to give up Fei in order to let Lu Hou participate in this face.

The State of Qi is now waiting, watching the war in the Central Plains, and the dispute between Jin and Chu, but it will not give up this excellent opportunity to weaken the Yue State.

The temple area went around, and the only gain was Qilu's attitude...... Neither for nor against.

After going back, Yue Wang was already angry once, but that anger was not to the point of dropping the crystal cup.

The temple area also understands that it is difficult to ride a tiger in the country now.

The strength is no longer enough to support the hegemony in the Central Plains, but the retreat to Wu Yue will lead to civil strife and cause the prestige of Yue Wang Phong to plummet.

In the past 100 years, strategic contraction is the best choice. It can be more than ten years old, but sticking to the last hegemonic dignity of Surabaya is the only choice.

Fortunately, at that time, all small countries were forced by the military strength of the Yue State to agree to participate in the Yishui Alliance and crusade against the Mo family's "chaotic world".

On the one hand, Yue Wang Peng strengthened the defense of Langya, repaired Langya City, and recruited a lot of troops from Wu Yue to go north, prepared enough food along the ditch, and it took nearly a year to prepare for the expedition.

Langya City is surrounded by the sea on one side and mountains on three sides, which seems to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, but after the battle of Teng State last year, the noble eagle went back and told the siege method of the Mo family, and the king of Yue had to re-strengthen the defense of Langya.

He wasn't worried about the Mo family, he felt that the Mo family was at most ten thousand people, the strength of hundreds of ink people.

What he was worried about was that the Qi Guotian clan cooperated with the Mo family and used similar means to break through Tengcheng to gather a large army from Jucheng to raid Langya.

For this reason, Yue Wang Fei had to recruit more troops from Wu Yue to prepare for the guard.

This is a battle that has to be fought, Wu Yue's hometown, Wu nobles and Wu people are now ready to move, are waiting for the decline of Yue, if Teng Guo restores the country and does not care about such things, then Wu people think that Teng can restore the country, why can't Wu State be restored? And it is not necessary to restore the Wu Kingdom, and it is not impossible to support the son of the King of Yue to divide the Yue Kingdom.

Yue Wang Phong has always been worried about his son, and he doesn't trust his own son, because his father is the murderer of his father, and this distrust is engraved in his bones.

Therefore, knowing that Wu Yue's old land is very unstable now, he has to recruit more soldiers from Wu Yue's old land to ensure that this battle is won, and to prevent a sudden surprise attack by Qi State.

He didn't expect to lose.

His younger brother Yu was very talented, he could guard Langya, and he could take charge of the troops that had been requisitioned from Wu Yue.

There are still 6,000 elite gentlemen in his hands, and Yue Wang Phong has heard of the Xihe warriors of Wei, but he has never seen them with his own eyes, so he has always believed that the gentleman's army in his hands is the first step in the world, and it is the elite who can make Qi Guo sigh "Yue people and tigers".

There are very few chariot soldiers in the Yue country, and the chariot battle is not strong, but fortunately, Chen Yin teaches archery, Yue Nu teaches swords, and archers and swordsmen are very good.

For example, today, Wei Wushu has not yet become truly famous, Shangqiu became famous in the first battle of the Mo family, but the number is too small, and the Junzi Army is still the first step in the world in the eyes of many people.

At this time, before the changes of various countries, these three armies were the only three armies with infantry as the absolute main force, and the composition of the three armies was also different.

Wei Wushu was a semi-conscripted military system, a military system that cooperated with the reform of the private land system of the Wei State.

The Mo family's volunteer division in Pei County is an organized and soulful infantry that seems to be a compulsory military system.

The gentleman's army of the Yue Kingdom can be regarded as the last glory of the feudal era in the Spring and Autumn Equinox.

The Junzi Army, in fact, is the "friend infantry" of the King of Yue, because the composition of the Junzi Army is "father, brother, Kundi and Guozi surname", all of them are children of the nobility, and many of them are relatives who grew up with King Yue since childhood.

The Yue Kingdom had a small family slavery, and the Yue King divided the land to the nobles, and then divided the land to the members of the Junzi Army, and at the same time equipped some slaves on the land, as well as some non-Chinese serfs, to ensure that each member of the Junzi Army had enough time to train to become a professional samurai.

This Central Plains "scholar" class is a bit similar, but the Central Plains countries are mainly chariot warfare, so the "shi" was originally a charioteer, and it is also necessary to ensure that "Lu is enough to cultivate on its behalf", but the place where the Yue country started is many rivers and the chariot soldiers cannot play as in the Central Plains.

These Lu also originated from the mutant serfdom of the smallest feud - only the policy of land and no labor binding, then the aristocracy could not become a nobleman, and people would flee if they had legs. The basis of the existence of the aristocracy is the exploitation of unpaid labor, and the land is only the appearance, and the essence is the system of binding the land and the person.

The productivity of the Yue Kingdom was low, so in the era of "etiquette collapse and happiness" in the Central Plains countries, the gentleman army of the Yue Kingdom became the army that was most in line with the "etiquette", and it was also the last glory of the Spring and Autumn Period.

If the Junzi Army is the remnant of the Spring and Autumn Period, then Wei Wushu is the dawn of the Warring States Military System, while the Peixian Yishi is more like the "Liangjiazi" army of the Han Dynasty.

The Junzi Army is the guard of the King of Yue, and it is also the elite of the Yue Kingdom, and it is the foundation for the King of Yue to leave Langya with confidence.

At least at this time, in the eyes of King Yue, the Junzi Army is the first step in the world, and it is also where his confidence lies in the field battle of besieging the city and forcing the Mo family to break the Mo family's righteous teachers in one fell swoop.

In addition to the 6,000 volunteers, the 30,000 "priests" mobilized by Yue Wang Phong were actually conscripted peasant soldiers with certain training.

Plus 3,000 archers, 120 chariots, and tens of thousands of logistics troops, on the premise of ensuring that Langya would not be raided by the Qi State, used almost all the forces at their disposal.

These 120 chariots seem to be a little small, but in fact they are not a lot, and they are already the essence of the chariots of the Yue Kingdom.

For example, Wei is known as the country of a thousand times, and the thousand times of this thousand times is a combination of chariots, baggage vehicles, and rides. At the beginning of the Lu state, it was a country of 700 times, and it was the largest country in the world, but in fact, according to the division of land under the feudal system, there were only 150 chariots, and the remaining three-quarters were auxiliary vehicles, baggage vehicles and chariots.

These more than 43,000 field troops are the largest military force that the monarch of the Yue Kingdom, which is thousands of miles away, can control.

This time, the Yishui Alliance is to let the small countries in the Surabaya basin know that the Yue country is still strong, can still control Surabaya, and can still be the "little overlord" of the lower reaches of the Huai River in Surabaya.

It was supposed to be smooth.

But it didn't go well.

At the end of March, news came that the Mohists believed that the Yue king was a belligerent king, and came forward to inform the small states in the Surabaya valley not to participate in the alliance.

Then he broke through Ni City, and Ni Zi only had to return halfway, saying that he would "ask the public". The alliance will start a war and the prince must ask the public, this is a rule recognized by the world, and the king of Yue is not easy to say.

But just more than ten days later, news came that the Mo family's righteous master left Nicheng and did not know where to go.

Then, within five days, after approaching in a zigzag tunnel, gunpowder blasted the city wall and breached the city of Fei Guowu, and the princes of the small countries in the Surabaya Valley were shocked.

Nawu City is the old city in the Spring and Autumn Period, when the uncle and grandson Leopard who put forward the "three immortals" said, built it, this city is very famous.

Zeng Shen's birthplace is here. Let Confucius sigh that "judging people by their appearance, I lost the feather" was also born here, and later Fei Guo usurped the country and divided the city from Lu State.

Ni is a small country, Ni Cheng is a small city, and it is not enough to be afraid of breaking through.

Kewu City is a big city on the border of Lu and Fei, and it is also the city of ten thousand households, and it has been built since the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Jisun family has also repaired it after it became independent...... But such a city of ten thousand households was broken in five days, which is really terrifying.

Yue Guo has a history of abolishing the monarch of a small country, but Rao is like this, Xue Guojun, who is closest to Pei County, still said that he was sick, saying that he could not go, and sent people to Yishui to hope that King Yue would forgive his sins.

The monarch of Zou Guo, who had been deposed once, trembled, was worried that after the Mo family righteous master broke through Wucheng, he would turn to Zou Cheng...... It is true that the Yue people can be abolished, but if the Mo family really captures Zou City, those brothers and uncles in the city are also members of the palace with the right to inherit!

Fei Guo claimed that there was a lot of food hoarded in Wucheng, and he couldn't provide enough military food, and he was worried that the righteous division would go south, so he couldn't send troops, so he could only go back to repair Lanling and other big cities first, and didn't dare to move lightly.

No matter how small those small countries are...... Originally, it was just a number, but it was far away, but verbal support was useless.

Originally, I wanted to make a little scene, after the alliance, show the military strength, make the small countries panic, and then break the Mo family's righteous division to break Tengcheng, so that these small countries will not dare to have two hearts within twenty years, but I thought that it was made like this, and it became a joke.

And this is exactly what the temple district knows...... Yue Wang was furious and broke the crystal cup.

The righteous master of the Mo family is still showing off his power in Wucheng, and Yue Wang Fei originally planned to go to Teng State after the alliance in April, but now he has to go to Wucheng first to reassure these small countries, so that the small countries can provide sufficient logistical support, and at the same time, they can send troops and people to support this operation.
