Chapter 267: The Prince Ben Zheng Defeats the Soldiers (3)
Qu Jiang, who arrived in Pei County overnight, brought shocking news to the Mo family.
When he arrived, everyone was busy with the construction plan of the canal next year, except for the people who were not in Pei County and went to Sanjin, the high-level figures of the Mo family were basically present.
This news was a relief for Shi, but for the rest of the people, it was a shock sigh.
King Xiong of Chu was assassinated!
Less than a month after Xiong returned to Yingdu, he was killed by assassins in the market, and when he approached, he stabbed Xiong Dang in the throat with his sword.
The Assassin disfigured himself before his death, making it unrecognizable.
Only before he died, he left a few words.
"The Mo family killed my Sima and carbuncles, and more than 100 people were killed and injured by the nobles of the clan. But the king still treats the ink with hospitality, which is really a family hatred and alienation of the clan, which is not enough to be the king! I killed for Chu, not to kill, but to be righteous! ”
After this man finished speaking, he destroyed his face and slashed himself in the market.
Among the sons of the king of Chu, the ones who are eligible to inherit are Prince Su and Prince Ding.
The princes of Chu are chaotic, and the inheritance disputes caused by the monarch's accession to the throne have never stopped since the time of the king.
Back then, the son used the rabbit walking in the city as an analogy, and the rebellion of the son who abandoned the disease in the back verified the matter.
It can be said that this incident was a serious lesson for the Chu people, and the subsequent destruction of the country and other events all started because of this, but Xiong Dang was in the prime of life, or because of Wuzhu superstition and other reasons, there was no heir designated at all.
The prince is suspected to have been born to a Qi girl and is a good friend of the Tian family.
The prince must have been born to Zheng Nu, which was precisely because the Zheng people were close to Chu and attacked Korea.
Both of them have a certain amount of aristocratic support.
However, the prince suspected that he was planning for the long term, and most of the people who supported him were some county officials.
The prince took advantage of the opportunity of the king of Chu to go north to fight for hegemony, and asked his younger brother to envoy Zheng Guo and stay in Yingdu to run it.
It is no longer known who sent the Assassins, but it is clear that many nobles let this happen, otherwise it would not have happened.
It's just that the king was assassinated, which is normal.
Not to mention the mysterious thing that the Marquis of Jin was robbed and killed, Qin Jun was also forced to commit suicide by the nobles.
The power of the aristocracy is great, and it is the ability of the family to engage in conspiracy, and the two princes may not be so clean.
The death of the king of Chu is counted as a political murder with the conspiracy of the nobles and the acquiescence of the rest.
The prince suspected that he used his business in the Chu capital to quickly gain enough support after his father's death, and was promoted by the nobles to the throne as the king of Chu.
The prince claimed that the assassins were sent by his brother and had the support of some nobles, but at this time Chu Du was already under the control of his brother, and he had no choice but to flee.
The newly succeeded King Chu knew that his younger brother had the right to inherit, and there were many nobles who supported him, and he could even get the support of foreign forces.
However, the prince also had power in the capital of Chu, and under the guidance of many friends and scholars, he bribed the guards and fled overnight, taking care of himself along the way, and the king of Chu could not catch up.
On the day of this incident, Qu Jiang traveled from Chudu to Pei County day and night to inform Juzi of the news.
For a while, all the ink presenters were at a loss, and only in their hearts did they understand that this was exactly what they were hoping for, and they could just tell more truths.
If the country is there, then the prince will flee and seize the throne with the help of the power of the Three Jin Dynasty, and he will not hesitate to split the Chu State and restore Chen Cai, is this considered treason?
If the country is there, Xiong Dang, the king of Chu, wants to change and benefit the people of Chu, but he is poisoned, but the person who assassinated him can be said to be doing harm to Chu.
Whose kingdom, then, is the kingdom? Whose Chu is Chu?
He had already begun to brew all kinds of incendiary speeches, but his face still pretended to be shocked by the news.
Mozi, who was sitting at the top, heard this, slowly closed his eyes, and sighed for a long time: "The Soldiers' Association, rest!" ”
After telling the news, Qu Jiang didn't dare to look at Mozi's eyes, because they were full of exhaustion and helplessness, and even a trace of despair.
When he first arrived, Mozi was smiling and even joking with everyone, obviously full of confidence and fantasy about everything and the future.
The bird has gone to Wei and Han, and the Wei people have also made more contact with the Mo family, seeking to buy gunpowder to defend the city and iron tools for the transformation of crops, revealing that they are willing to participate in this time the soldiers organized by the Mo family to benefit the world.
Regardless of life and death, the people of the Mo family guarded Shangqiu, fought to the death, and won all this.
It seems that there will be at least 20 years of peace in the Central Plains, and within 20 years the world will no longer be disturbed by unjust wars, and the economy will develop, the population will multiply, and the crops will be revolutionized...... Everything looks so good.
And this shocking news came, and in just an instant, all the hope in Mozi's old eyes was shattered.
As he said with a sigh, the soldiers will ...... Hugh.
Because Shi Zeng analyzed the reasons for the possible success of this army meeting in front of everyone in the Mo family: the balance of power between Jin and Chu, the difficulty of siege caused by the emergence of gunpowder weapons, and the increase in food for the defenders caused by the improvement of planting technology.
Moreover, coupled with the fact that the Mo family, the elite organization that is best at defending the city, obstructed it and intimidated it with the prestige of the Chu army, the Soldier Guild could indeed be achieved under this balance of power.
It's just that...... Shi also made it very clear that this time the soldiers will only be balanced, and once it is unbalanced, it will naturally be impossible to kill the soldiers.
As for the benefit of the world? As for the righteous war? The king will not believe it.
How could Mozi not know the truth of all this?
Because I know, I despair.
The prince is determined to flee from Zheng State, and the Zheng people will inevitably escort the prince to Chu, where will Sanjin let go of this opportunity to weaken Chu State?
And as the lost dog, what concerns does Wang Ziding have about uniting the enemy Sanjin in order to sit on the throne? Don't say that Sanjin, even if it is Yidi, he will immediately borrow troops!
Everything in the Soldier Guild is based on the premise of balance and stability, and now this premise has been broken!
Mozi sighed, but felt that it was a little dark in front of him, and he wanted to say something more but couldn't open his mouth.
I am more than 70 years old, I have been doing righteousness for 50 years, and hundreds of disciples have died.
The appearance of the right brought about a turning point, and in just three years, he planned and then moved, and won a chance to kill the troops in the Central Plains.
After Mozi returned from Shangqiu, he was in a very good mood, good enough to joke with his disciples, because he felt that he had pursued righteousness for fifty years, and today he finally achieved something.
Isn't it a good thing for the people of the world to be stable for 20 years?
The hall was silent, and the general looked at Mozi and bent his knees: "Giant, I ......"
He didn't know what to say, and he knew that he was doing the right thing, but he couldn't bear to see the giant look like this, and it seemed that he had aged a lot in an instant.
Mozi waved his hand, signaling that Qu Jiang didn't have to worry, holding back the hope in his heart, squeezing out a smile, and said: "Gaining and then losing, and never getting it, the result is the same...... Can...... Can ......"
Two words in a row, in the end, only turned into a helpless wry smile.
Everyone listened to Shi Shi talk about the general trend of the world so much, and listened to him say a lot of contradictory analysis, and they also understood that what Mozi said was true, and this time the army would ...... It's already a premature death.
Even if the bird slippery has already arrived in the Sanjin Dynasty, Shi has said before that the stakes are very important, and many details must be discussed and cannot be omitted.
This is recognized by everyone, and it can be seen that at this time, at most, Wei Hou has just met, and it is impossible to agree on the alliance of the soldiers.
Besides, even if it is discussed, will Sanjin give up this rare opportunity?
Mozi rubbed his bald head because of old age, nodded Shi Shi and said, "Shi, what do you think of this matter?" ”
Shi got up and walked to the simple map of the world situation, glanced at it a few times, shook his head and said, "What Mr. said is right. If the prince can enter Zheng alive, the world will be in chaos. ”
He looked at everyone and suppressed the excitement in his heart, because Chu and Jin went to war because of the issue of inheritance, although the world was chaotic, the chaos would be concentrated in Zheng and Han, and the Song State, as the eastern front, would not be affected by the war.
The time needed by Peixian and Pengcheng was won by this great power war, and he was extremely excited in his heart.
And he said, "The prince must have supporters, and there are many of them, otherwise he would not have been able to run away." If he doesn't have supporters, if he thinks he doesn't have a chance to take the throne after he leaves, why bother? ”
"You also know that the royal family of the Duke of Chu is mostly important ministers. Among them, Ling Yin's position, except for Peng Zhongshuang, is a royal family. ”
"The princes and grandchildren account for the majority, and if the prince does not flee, he can also be an important minister. Now that he has fled, he is clearly capable of taking the throne. ”
"Uncle Zheng is the uncle of the prince, how can he not save it? Zheng people are fighting Chu, how can Sanjin stand still? Sanjin sent troops, wouldn't the county prince who supported Wang Ziding rebel? ”
"The balance is broken, and there is no longer any possibility of killing soldiers."
After that, he bowed to Mozi and said, "The disciple knows that this battle is the dream of Mr. for fifty years. It's just that the matter has come to this point, and I hope that Mr. and the brothers and comrades will give up their illusions and prepare another way. ”
"This road has been tried in Shangqiu, and under the balance of chance, it almost contributed to the Central Plains army."
"Ruo Pei, Peng, there are 3,000 ink people, 30,000 righteous teachers, the warlike king of the world, do you dare to go to war easily?"
When everyone nodded, Wu Mabo, one of the seven evils of the Mo family, suddenly spoke.
"Giant, it makes sense if it's appropriate. It's just that I have a word. ”
"If I kill one person and benefit the world, will this person be killed? If you can argue that you know that killing this person will benefit the world, kill or not? ”
"In terms of the world's close-quarters killing, my Mo family disciple is the only one in the world. The giant once said that if it is not conducive to the world, the thirteen swords will kill it together. If that's the case, can't that person be killed? ”
Everyone understood Wu Mabo's meaning, which was nothing more than to send assassins to assassinate Wang Ziding before Wang Ding went to Zheng.
Once the prince who has the right to claim is killed, then it seems that the alliance of soldiers can still hold on, which is greatly beneficial to the world.
Shi was silent, but the grandson said: "This person is not guilty." How to kill? ”
