Chapter 154: The Pool Meeting (3)
Shixiao was extremely happy, and only felt that after sweeping away the twenty years of forbearance, he finally didn't have to look at the faces of the princes anymore, and found a way to survive from their contradictions.
Now that the general trend of the Mo family has been achieved, all the preparations that should be made have been completed.
Take the initiative to attack and pacify the world, the troops are still insufficient, and we still need to wait for the world to have a chance to change the Chu country, but if the defense counterattack hits the countries hard, it is more than enough to ensure that Sishang does not lose.
Now the Mo family doesn't care about Hanzhong, Gaoliu, Hetao and other places, just Sishang, it is a bit like the situation of the overlord of Western Chu during the dispute between Chu and Han.
The capital is Pengcheng, the army reaches Ju in the north, controls the Song land, and reaches Huaishui in the south.
It's just that compared with the battle of Qixia back then, the Mo family has three great advantages, one is that the battle between Qin and Wei is inevitable, the second is that the rebellion of Chu is imminent, and the third is that the Mo family has a heart or not, and before the main forces of Wei and Han gather together, they can first fight a decisive battle and break one of their fingers, turn to defense and counterattack, and wait for the success of Chu State.
Because of the existence of the Qin State and the enmity of the West River, it is equivalent to the critical moment when the overlord of Western Chu and the Han Gaozu fought a decisive battle in Xingyang, Xiao He rebelled and established himself as the king in Qinchuan in Hanzhong......
So this time he can be unscrupulous, leave the scene angrily, and then go back and launch public opinion to denounce the last trust in the princes and nobles, complete the final blow to the internal fantasy, and aggressively prepare for war.
A few days later.
In a newly built "platform", the fire is stirring.
A large round table was placed in the middle of the room.
Originally, the alliance was all about respect and inferiority, and there was a saying about who sat in what position, but today it is not good, and it has to be anti-traditional.
The Mo family doesn't recognize the difference between respect and inferiority at all, and besides, the Mo family rejected Zhou Tianzi's canonization back then, what is this?
It is said that this is a "son", the so-called Yi Di is a son, which is lower than the prince and uncle, but Wu was also the king back then, and finally Huang Chi will be integrated into the Zhuxia system before it is changed to an earl, and the Chu State is also alive and well when playing the edge ball of the second king and not the other king, and the Mo family does not even have a title but it is impossible to really treat them as barbarian viscounts.
And this time it's similar to the old Soldiers' Club, but it's different.
The participants in the second military meeting were not the princes, but the various powerful doctors under the princes.
However, more than 100 years have passed, and the powerful princes of various countries have either divided the three families into the Jin Tian clan and replaced Qi, or they have been gradually weakened by the royal power, and they will no longer be in the situation of the doctor's alliance.
In this chaotic situation, we can only follow the Mohist concept of "all ministers of heaven and all countries are equal", and around this kind of round table, regardless of dignity or inferiority, only the "sovereignty" of each country embodied by each representative is equal.
Otherwise, there is really no way.
It seems that he is not even an orthodox taxi, let alone the princes of Dafu Qing.
But now he is not allowed to sit on an equal footing with Wei Chuhan Jun, but he is afraid that Wei Chuhan himself will not agree.
If he sits on an equal footing with Wei Chu and Han Jun, then the doctors representing all countries will also be dissatisfied: in terms of speaking, we are at least a doctor, and he is still a common man, so why should he sit at the head of us?
Just like at the Michi meeting, beating a drum and beating a beat will involve national humiliation, and today's weird alliance can only use the method of harmony, otherwise this matter will not be able to be discussed today.
After the sitting, the performances of various countries began, all wanting to fight for the maximum benefit.
At that time, the second army meeting was a pattern of two supernumerical strong and many weak, Jin and Chu sat there, you came and went to fight for the sphere of influence, Chu was at a disadvantage at that time, and was ready to wear leather armor with a dagger and lift the table.
This time, the pattern of the "Soldiers' Association" has changed, and it is no longer two superpowers, but a pattern in which all countries are strong but there is a weak one.
Although Wei Chu fought a big battle in the first battle of Yinyang, it was only to compete for the priority at the negotiating table, after all, the two sides tacitly agreed to cease the war, and tacitly chose a war that was not too large.
The only thing that exceeded Wei Han's expectations was the annihilation of more than 40,000 mobile troops, which made Wei Han completely lose the ability to strategically attack in the Central Plains, and could only choose defense.
It is not that Wei Han has so many troops left in the Central Plains, but that there are so many field mobile troops in the Central Plains, and it is impossible to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall if it really starts.
The state of Chu took advantage, but if the change of the state of Chu had been completed, the king of Chu would definitely seize the opportunity to annihilate the mobile army of the Wei and Han fields and garrison the Yellow River in Luoyang again.
However, what Chu Guo wants is just a good external environment to complete the change, in order to accumulate strength under strategic contraction.
Moreover, the king of Chu also has his own judgment.
If you take this opportunity to recapture the Great Liang, the state of Chu is equivalent to being on the front line of the Mo family's west and eastern Henan. The Song State has been given up by the Chu State, and getting the Great Liang means that if you want to stabilize the Great Liang, you must make the Song State a vassal of the Chu State, and the Chu State can't do it this year, so naturally you don't want to recapture the Great Liang to block the expansion of the Mo family for Wei Han.
Wei Han was actually panicked, first, he didn't expect Shibei to be impressed by the three days, after more than ten years of forbearance and training in the Chu State, which was pressed and beaten by the Three Jin Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the new army was so strong; The second is that he really didn't expect Chu to fight a war of annihilation, which put Wei Han in an extremely unfavorable situation at the negotiating table.
The bottom line of the Chu State must be to want Xu and Yanling, so that the Chu State can be connected to the left and right of Zhengdi's defense line, so that it will not be divided by Wei Han.
Wei Han knew the bottom line of Chu State, but he didn't know if Chu State would raise the price after this big victory.
The Mo family showed the confidence of the Sishang Yishi to defeat the Yue State and Qi State in Chengyang, and also deterred Qi Wei and other countries, but now Wei Han is not clear about the true attitude of the Mo family.
The Mo family's "Book of Reporting the World" is clear, but Wei Han absolutely does not believe that this is the true attitude of the Mo family.
Because it is impossible to agree to this now, Wei Zhen, Han You, Uncle Acne and others all think that the Mo family is asking for a sky-high price and waiting to repay the money on the spot.
First said so big, and then made a smaller request to force Wei Han to agree.
But the problem is that Wei Zhen and Uncle Gong pondered for half a month, but they didn't figure out what they could give to the Mo family.
It is definitely impossible for Chengyang Liqiu to be given to the Mo family, and if it is given there, the situation of the Wei State in the Central Plains will be completely ruined, and it is easy for the Mo family to go straight into the Yellow River.
The Chengyang area is a rich and important city, and it is also the best place to gather troops to rely on Jishui to organize defense, and giving up Chengyang Liqiu is equivalent to the Mo family can fight Wei Qi at any time, which is the best assembly place for the Mo family to the north.
Therefore, before the convening of this alliance, Wei Qi had secretly reached some unanimous opinions, and it was impossible to give the Mo family Chengyang Liqiu, and the two countries used "righteousness" to exert pressure together.
The rest are not close to the Mo family, and the affairs of the Song State could have been used as a bargaining chip: to recognize the Song State in exchange for the two sides to kill the troops.
But the problem is that now that Wei Han has gone through the battle of Yinyang, he is no longer qualified to use the Song State to threaten the Mo family, and the Song State is already a thing of the Mo family, so how can he bargain?
The bane of Wei and Han's current situation was already planted in the Battle of Yuguan in Daliang more than ten years ago, or after the veto of Wu's strategy of first going west and then east.
During the time of Wenhou, the Wei State was strong, the east and the west were fighting, the three Jin Dynasty were like a bamboo, and the Yue State could still beat the Qi State in the back.
At that time, what Wei wanted was the hegemony of Sishang. Therefore, he vetoed the strategy of first the west and then the east, and prepared to take the Great Liang and take advantage of the opportunity of the Wang Ziding Rebellion to get involved in Sishang.
At that time, the Mo family had not yet shown the strength to oppose the Wei state, and in Wei Han's view, the enemies that the Sishang hegemony had to face were Qi, Yue, and Chu.
The three Jin Dynasty attacked Qi, and the combat effectiveness of Qi made Wei believe that if he sought hegemony in Sishang, Qi was a scum enemy.
As a result, Wu Qishuai's army faithfully implemented the strategy, and the Chu State suffered heavy casualties in the first battle of Daliang City.
However...... Marquis Wen died, and Wu Qishuai's army was recalled outside, giving up the opportunity to pursue the victory, only to make the prince return to the country.
The Mo family took advantage of the opportunity of Wei Chu's war to defeat the Yue State and regain the hegemony of Sishang from the Yue State, while the Qi State was still licking the wounds of the Three Jin Dynasty and Qi at that time, and by the way, it was dealing with a series of problems of the Tian Dynasty.
Once an opportunity is missed, it is hard to get it again. The Mo family took advantage of the war between Wei and Chu to drive away the Yue State and gain the hegemony of Sishang, and the Chu State was beaten by the Wei State again, and quickly turned to an alliance with the Mo family.
The opportunity of Wei was lost, and Zhao was dissatisfied with how difficult it was for Wei to occupy Zhao as a gunman at the beginning, and Zhao did not send troops in the battle of Daliang City: I charged ahead in the war, and when I shared the spoils, I was not allowed to enter the Central Plains, and when Wen Hou was there, I had to follow, Wen Hou died, what are you Wei Zhen?
Wu Qi retreated here, and the Wu people moved over there and the empty shelves of the Yue State could not hold up the comprehensive contraction and retreated south, and the Mo family quickly formed an alliance with the defeated Chu State after filling the hegemonic vacuum in Sishang.
The state of Chu was blessed by misfortune, and the battle of Daliang City killed so many nobles that the king of Chu had always wanted to kill, giving the state of Chu a chance to centralize power and change the law.
After that, Wei Zhao turned his face, Zhongshan returned to the country, Chu Ping Chen Cai, and the Mo family took the opportunity to insert Wei again.
Up to now, Daliang City is in the hands of the Wei State, and the Song State is really not even a chicken rib for the Chu State, which is bent on strategic contraction and first change. If Daliang was still in the hands of the Chu State, this time the Song State coup would definitely interfere with the Chu State, but the root cause was buried more than ten years ago, and at this time, it was impossible for the Chu State to do its best for the Song State.
Then the Mo family forced South Korea to attack Zheng State, Wei State thought about it, South Korea's ally was still more reliable than Chu State, so they also carved up Zheng State together, and the Mo family turned over for the clouds and made the battle of Hidden Sun for the rain, which made Wei completely lose the initiative in the Central Plains.
Even now there are no bargaining chips on the negotiating table.
The only chips in his hand are those ink people who are under house arrest in Xinzheng, so they don't dare to kill or move, and they are waiting for them with good food and drink.
This may not be enough, Wei has already pondered whether to "return" several cities south of Xiangling to the Song State, in exchange for the Mo family to hand over Chengyang Liqiu, and by the way, make the Chu State nervous about the expansion of the Mo family in the Central Plains.
Wei Zhen and Uncle Acne didn't think about it, it is said that these opinions put forward by the Mo family are impossible to realize, so what does the Mo family want? After thinking about it so much, I didn't think that the Mo family's public propaganda was all sincere, and I wasn't ready to change anything at all.
