Xiong Dang knew about this thirty-six years ago, and many of the old ministers present also knew it.

It's not that they don't know, it's that they didn't think about it at first.

Because this man is not a nobleman, nor is he a person who wanders the courts of various countries, habitual thinking makes these people think for a while that this military force independent of the countries does not think of it.

Thinking that this heroic man who retreated from the army of ten thousand people on his own thirty-six years ago is still alive and well, Shen Gongqu's words also made the color of many Chu nobles present change slightly.

Shangqiu of the Song Kingdom was originally a big city in the world, and it was extremely difficult to capture. Once the attack cannot be carried out for a long time, the rescue troops of the Three Jin Dynasty arrive, and the strength of Chu people is weakened, how can they win?

The state of Chu is no longer the state of Chu when King Zhuang was fighting for hegemony, and the state of Chu, which has experienced the destruction of the country by the Wu people and the rebellion of the white prince, looks still strong, but in fact it is difficult to defeat the Jin state in the field.

The two countries of Song and Zheng, sandwiched between Jin and Chu, do not know how many wars they have experienced in the struggle for hegemony between Jin and Chu, and Shangqiu City was built very strongly.

Moreover, the Song people are like their ancestor Xianggong, upright, and even a little coomy, and they do things without regard for the consequences, which is something that everyone in the world knows.

Back then, the king of Chu invited Zheng Bo and Song Gong Tian Hunting, Zuo Sima Wen fearlessly looked for Song Gong's stubble, saying that Tian Hunt had to bring his own fire tools, but Song Gong didn't bring it, which obviously did not give him this Zuo Sima face. Immediately took the thorn strip and beat the guard who drove Song Gong's car.

Later, the Chu people asked Wen Wuxing to send an envoy to Qi State, and deliberately did not notify Song State to borrow the road, Wen Wuxing knew that he was dead before he set off: the Song people were all Leng, they often did things recklessly, and they humiliated Song Gong back then, and now even if the Chu army is strong, he must be killed by this group of two poles. On the contrary, Zheng Guoren is much more sleek, can analyze the situation, and will not easily do reckless things.

Sure enough, the Chu people were obviously looking for faults and excuses to send troops, but the Song people still caught Wen Wuxing and said that he passed without borrowing the way, and killed him directly on the embankment of Yangliang, completely ignoring the possible consequences.

When the king of Chu heard the news of Wen Wuxing's killing, he was overjoyed, and finally found an excuse that he had never found, leaving an idiom of "rising up" and sending troops to besiege the Song Dynasty.

As a result, the Song people gave full play to the spirit of Leng.

The Jin people were frightened by the battle of Liangtang not long ago and did not dare to send troops to rescue, but the Song people did not surrender.

The Chu people are feudal mobilization soldiers again, and if they continue to besiege it, there will be a food shortage next year, but in the end they still did not take it.

Because of such a memory, Mozi entered Yingying alone thirty-six years ago, relying on the three hundred disciples who stayed in Shangqiu and his own tongue, saying that the Chu people did not dare to act rashly.

Now that Qu Xiao said that Mo Zhai was still there, everyone present thought of the Song Dynasty in the past, the fighting method between Mo Zhai and the Gong Losing Ban, and the strength of the Jin people in the Battle of Huangchi twenty years ago...... I have palpitations.

Shangqiu, without Mo Zhai, can still defend for a while, but if Mo Zhai takes the ink people to Shangqiu, how can he be able to capture Shangqiu City?

There are ink people, whether it is Ling Yin, Sima, and the county dukes, they dare not directly attack the city, so they can only choose to besiege but not force the Song people to surrender.

Can't fight.

The public defeat squad has passed, and the siege needs elites, whose elite private soldiers can be used? No one wants their elite private soldiers to die at the hands of the Mo, who is known for defending the city.

Later generations of "Hug Puzi" once said: Ban and Zhai are both saints of machinery.

The word "mechanical" existed at this time, and Ge Hong in later generations directly named the public loss class and Mo Zhai as the "mechanical saint", which is the original words.

In the face of such a mechanical saint who is the only remaining in the world today, the Chu people understand that if the Mo Scholar is in Shangqiu, he will not be able to attack the city.

Twelve siege methods, thirty-six years ago, Mo Zhai dealt with them all in the palace while talking and laughing, and now thirty-six years have passed, where is the thirteenth means?

Another mechanical saint lost class relied on ladders, hook rejections, warships, etc., so that the Chu people had an advantage in the war against Vietnam, so as to become the feudal monarch of Chu, how could the Chu people not know the magic of the usefulness of these machines?

However, this mechanical saint was defeated by another in the battle formation deduction thirty-six years ago, and what is even more terrifying is that the other is not only alive but also in the Song Kingdom now.

The Chu army, which is dominated by peasant soldiers, private soldiers, and feudal compulsory soldiers, is the limit of a year's siege war, and any more will shake the foundation: non-professional soldiers must go back to farming, otherwise they will starve, they are not Wei's Xihe pawns, not semi-full-time soldiers.

In the silence of the nobles, Si defeated Jing Zhishu and said: "It is rumored that the three sects of Han, Zhao and Wei have won Jiahe, and they will be sealed as marquis in accordance with the mandate of heaven, but I have heard that these Jiahe are all inkers. Song Zhisi City was obtained from the ink man, and he used it to make friends with the three families. ”

Si Kou is a unique official position of the Chu State, which is equivalent to the Si Kou of the Central Plains States, but it does not have the right to enforce the law, but is changed from the position of Si Kou. The law enforcement power is in the hands of Zuo Yin, and the defeat in the Chu State is the same as the Shangzhu State, which is more of a lord title.

Jing Zhishu is actually called Shu, but it happens that there are other people named Shu in the same era, so in Chu, he added the name when he was called, and then added a word to distinguish him from the rest of the people named Shu.

Xiong Dangqi said: "In the past, when King Hui came, Mo Zhai came to Chu to attack King Hui. Could it be that my Chu people's conquest is unjust, and his Han, Zhao and Wei families are righteous in their conquest? The Ink Scholar still regards us as barbarians? ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Qu Xiao with dissatisfaction.

As soon as this incident was mentioned, everyone also knew the joke of Shen Gong Qu's family: Shu Ziqu will kill people at every turn, and others will kill the whole family if they squint at him...... As a result, he went out and wandered around, becoming a non-attacking and loving inkman.

Now that Si defeated Jing Zhishu, when he talked about where Sanjin Jiahe came from, Xiong Dang was immediately dissatisfied, which was obviously looking at Chu and Sanjin with double standards.

Shen Gongqu hurriedly said: "That's not the case...... In the past, Lu Yanggong talked with Mo Zhai, and when it came to Qiaoyi, Mo Zhai still didn't laugh at Qiaoyi's eating of children, how could he regard us as barbarians? I heard that it seems that there is a Shangqiu shoemaker named fittest among the ink people, and the hermit is passed on, and the ink man only says that this thing can benefit the world, and the Song Emperor family got it from the ink man, thinking that the treasure was transferred to the three sects. ”

Xiong Dangyan smiled when he heard this: "That's right!" I am unjust, is it that Han Zhao Wei is righteous? I can't blame me, only Song and Zheng Erguo are between Jin and Chu. I know the methods of the ink man, can he keep me today, and he can still guard the three Jin tomorrow? If he can hold on, why should Song Gong go to the Hajj to the Son of Heaven? Wouldn't it be better not to rebel and not to refuse to be promoted? ”

"What does Jiahe look like, who has seen it?"

Xiong Dang was a little curious, although he knew that the so-called Jiahe Fenghou obeyed the mandate of heaven was a step given to Zhou Tianzi by the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei, but he was still very curious about what this thing looked like.

The Chu people ate a lot of rice, and the Mo people knew that they might have conflicts with the Chu people, so they did not go deep into the Chu capital. However, Chuzhibian County, which is closer to the Central Plains, knows a lot about these rumors.

Originally, there were a lot of people who dealt with the nobles of the Chu people and the Mo, such as Lu Yang Gong, Lu Yang Wenjun, Yang Cheng Jun, Shen Gong Qu Xiao and others, but those county officials are not there now, and only Shen Gong Qu Yu heard about these things.

Relying on merchants, wheat flour shops, spirits and other items, the ink artists sold and publicized at the same time, making people accustomed to the existence of the ink artists, and many deeds were spread along with these shops and merchants.

Qu Xiao just heard about it, so he said: "I heard that it can produce several stones per mu, popularize the world, and the world will not be hungry." I have heard that the Moshi thinks that there are few people in Chu and the land is wide, and there are benefits of fish and shrimp, vegetables and fruits in the four seasons...... Therefore, it will be spread to the north first, and then spread to Chu after the Central Plains are spread......"

He also told some of the rumors he heard, after all, he had such a relationship with Mo Shi and his concubine, except for Lu Yang Gong and Yang Cheng Jun, I am afraid that he is the person who knows these things the most among the nobles of Chu State.

Xiong Dang was shocked when he heard this, and asked repeatedly, "Is this really true?" ”

Qu Xiao nodded yes, and Xiong Dang's face changed suddenly.

I have to say that, according to what these ink writers say, it actually makes a lot of sense.

Chu is not as good as the Central Plains, there are few cold winters, vegetables and fruits are available in all four seasons, and there are many fish and shrimp. There are indeed few people dying of hunger.

But vegetables, fruits, fish and shrimp can only ensure that people do not starve to death, but cannot be used as military food and military endowment, let alone make civilians rich and go to war with the army.

Twenty years ago, in the first battle of Huangchi, the hegemony of the Chu State was contained by the Jin people, and now the Jin State has been divided into three parts, and the Liuqing Rebellion is officially over, and the Chu State must fight against the Three Jin if it wants to fight for hegemony.

After a few years, the Sanjin was rich and the Chu state remained unchanged, and the offense and defense were bound to be different, and they did not even have the ability to maintain balance.

In the first battle of Xiaqiu, the three Jin got 30,000 corpses and 1,000 chariots, which shocked the world.

And Chu and Qin have been friends for many years, and the Qin people who guarded Wu Qi in the west of Wei have no power to fight back.

If the power of the Three Jin Dynasty increases again and the power of the Chu State remains unchanged, the Chu people are afraid that it will be difficult to reach the Central Plains after a few decades.

At first, when he heard Qu Xiao say that the heroes of thirty-six years ago were still there, Xiong Dang was only slightly surprised, thinking that he might need to use more troops, but after all, Song was a weak country, and as long as Sanjin did not move, he would have the opportunity to force Song Gong to submit.

But when he heard that the shoemaker had gotten these things from some hermit, Xiong knew that the matter was very great and had to be settled.

The former may be a battle of Chengpu at most, and twenty years later, there will still be another battle of Liangtang to regain hegemony; And the latter is Qu Wuchen taught the car battle to Wu, and Wu Zixu taught the city building technique to Wu!

Xiong Dang could tell the difference, and after thinking for a while, he said: "If this matter is true, you can make an appointment for a hundred rides and a car of gold and jade, and ask for this thing." ”

The nobles present were shocked, where did they think that the king of Chu would open his mouth to make a big gift for a hundred rides and a car of gold and jade.

Or there may be: "Why does the king value this thing?" Jin Yu changed a cart of grain and rice crops, and he had never heard of it. ”

Xiong Dangzheng said: "This pure Jun sword also!" In the past, Xue Candle looked at Chunjun, thinking that there were three towns in the city, thousands of horses, and two in the capital of a thousand households, and they could not be replaced! How can things be the same with things? You also have swords, but who is willing to exchange a thousand horses and a thousand households? ”

Jing Zhishu heard this: "I'm only afraid that the ink people will know that we want to attack the Song Dynasty and accuse us of being unjust." Xi Zhu Gou hired Mo Zhai with a seal of 500 miles, but Mo Zhai thought that he did not accept it. 500 miles of fiefdom and a car of gold and jade...... I'm afraid that Mo Zhai doesn't feel that it is so valuable that he can sell righteousness. ”

Xiong Dang laughed and said, "I am unjust! What is it to do with the peoples? If these ink writers think that I am unjust, they can do all kinds of assassination, and blood splash five steps to punish injustice! Do I have to confess my sins when I do unrighteous deeds? If the ink is not roundabout, this matter will definitely be done. The ink is not a Song person, isn't Qu Xiao's son also a Mo person? They can distinguish the affairs of the world and the affairs of the state and the state. ”
