One day in July.

It was raining, and it was not raining much, but it could not be started, and the specific tasks were assigned.

In the morning, Shi had already finished teaching to the children who followed him, and these children who followed him had basically learned the level of the first grade of junior high school, and some subjects may be slightly higher.

In the afternoon, Shi was in the house, where several ink artists were chatting, and Shi followed Qu Jiang to learn to play Go.

At this time, there is already a game of Go, called Yi, and the rules are similar, the difference is that at this time it is the number of days of the week with 17 vertical and horizontal paths, not the 19th vertical and horizontal path.

The rules are basically the same as those of later generations, and it can be regarded as not much entertainment at this time.

Lu Hua and the others knocked on the sunflower seeds, watching Shi and Qu Jiang play against each other, or listening to the sound of rain outside the house.

Someone was reading a book there, and Tenghou Jite also turned around, and after greeting everyone, he asked everyone about his 600 acres of Lu land rent.

At least in this room, there is really no difference between high and low.

While chatting, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and several people walked in with their robes on their heads, and the guards outside did not stop them, obviously their own people.

Shi pinched a chess piece from Tenghou's palace and was wondering where to go, and before he looked up, he heard someone say: "Teng Guo Xiangbang, you are really interested in being idle here, Pei County is going to be busy to death......

It was the voice of the city Jia dolphin, who was in charge of the Mo family's property, that came back to his senses, and Qu Jiang got up to say hello, only to find that there was a grandson behind the city Jia dolphin.

The high grandson is one of the seven evils, and he knows what is going on, but seeing that everyone is smiling, he is finally relieved.

Lu Hua hurriedly said, "I'll go get some food, drink the batter with chili peppers, and warm up." ”

She left in a hurry, Wu Mabo and others also symbolically greeted Teng Hou Jite, and Teng Hou knew that the Mo family had something to discuss, so he said goodbye and left.

A few people sat at the table, and all of them in the room were of sufficient level, or they were the appropriate guards assigned by the Mo family, and they did not need to avoid others.

"What's wrong?"

Gao Sun Tzu said: "You can see the news you just got for yourself." ”

After that, he grinded out a bamboo tube from his arms, handed it to Shi, and then said: "This time, the city Jia dolphin came here to count the consumption of materials and escort the iron tools; I also come here to supervise and inspect on a regular basis, but after a year, I will temporarily reunite with you here, which is also the rule of the Mo family. ”

Shi nodded, expressing understanding, Meng Sheng is gone, there must be a level enough to be with him, his Xiangbang is the top name, there is no use for fart, and the real identity is still the candidate of the Mo family.

I opened the bamboo tube and looked at it, and my face almost showed joy, but it was easy to hold back.

In the letters of the bamboo tube, all the information collected by the Mo family in the Central Plains has been sorted out.

Not long ago, the state of Chu officially announced that because the three Jin did not join the alliance of soldiers, the state of Chu announced its withdrawal and no longer abided by the alliance with the Mo family.

The three-year period had expired, and the state of Chu accused the Sanjin of not killing troops for the great interests of the world, which led to his withdrawal.

The Sanjin also accused the state of Chu of being the one who did not want to kill the army, and reiterated that he did not recognize the legitimacy of the king of Chu.

It can be seen that whether it is the Three Jin Dynasty or the Chu State, at least they still respect the Mo family on the bright side. The battle between Shangqiu and Niu Yiyi made Jin Chu not ready to oppose the Mo family openly, for fear of forcing the Mo family to the hostile side, and the situation of the Mo family has been opened.

Otherwise, if it weren't for the fact that the Mo family's technology was too terrifying and out of the times, everyone would not be able to care, and they would only be a fart.

At the same time, the Mo family stepped forward and fulfilled the promise made to the Zheng people, persuaded the king of Chu, and released the captured 40,000 Zheng troops, and also released the Qimu nobles who led the army.

In fact, the state of Chu also wanted to release these people at all, but the Mo family still went through the form, and the Zheng people all praised the righteous deeds of the Mo family, and were very proud of the behavior of avoiding the war under Niu Qiyi.

However, Dazai Xin and Zheng Gong of Zheng Guo had also reached a secret agreement with Chu State, and after these 40,000 people were released, a coup d'état took place in the capital of Zheng State.

Zheng Guo's ruler Si Ziyang was killed by assassins, and the 40,000 released Zheng captives chanted the slogan "Refuse to go to war with Chu", impacting Si Ziyang's mansion, and after being incited by the nobles, they exterminated the Si Ziyang clan.

In fact, this incident was not simply caused by the war against Chu, but the people of Zheng Guo were already dissatisfied with Si Ziyang's ruling policy.

Si Ziyang's rule was too harsh, and it was quite a bit of the Qin law decades later, such as the craftsman who made the bow and arrow would be punished with corporal punishment if he failed to pay the military levy on the time limit.

In fact, the assassin who assassinated Si Ziyang also used the name "I am a craftsman, I can't finish it, I will die anyway, it is better to kill Si Ziyang".

Of course, this assassin was sent by Dazai Xin and Zheng Gong, but it was enough to see the severity of Si Ziyang's rule.

He learned the strictness of childbirth in that year, but he did not learn the relaxation of childbirth in that year, and Zheng Guo's economy was developed and there was a township school organization, which could easily arouse the dissatisfaction of the citizens.

After Zheng Gong and Dazai Xin came forward to appease the people, they concluded an alliance with Chu, recognizing the legitimacy of the Chu king and guaranteeing that the prince would not be allowed to re-enter the Zheng state.

Although Si Ziyang was exterminated, his henchmen conspired in Zheng Di, and the conflict between Dazai Xin and Zheng Gong began to intensify because of Si Ziyang's death.

The Qimu clan originally had a large number of fiefs, and it was precisely because of the number of fiefs that he could suppress the rest of the Qimu that he came to power, and the reason for coming to power was because of Han Wuzi's hatred for killing Zheng Gong.

He didn't do anything wrong strategically, and if all went well, Zheng obtained the territory of Chu and relied on Wei to conclude a contract with Korea, and it was really possible to rise to power.

It's just that he overestimated his own strength, and also misestimated the people's dissatisfaction with Chengdu, and ended up with a family being wiped out.

Zheng Gong and Dazai Xin didn't care about Zheng Guo's possible chaos at all, although Si Ziyang died, but his henchmen were still numerous, the entire Zheng Guo was sandwiched between Jin and Chu, and the nobles wanted to fight more teams, at this time, killing Si Ziyang, Zheng Guo had the risk of being divided into three.

All kinds of nobles or Ziyang's henchmen are frantically contacting the Mo family, hoping to buy firearms to defend the city, and several parties are ready to break up and split, and they are looking for backers.

Si Ziyang's henchmen secretly found Wei Guo, hoping that Wei Guo would come forward to question Si Ziyang's murder and guarantee that their faction would side with the Three Jins.

Subsequently, Wei sent troops to show off his might through the land of Zheng State, so as to deter Zheng State, and did not allow Zheng State to unilaterally make peace with Chu State, or at least not allow Zheng State to form an alliance with Chu State.

Wei sent 50,000 troops, crossed Yangwu, and stationed in the fiefdom of Si Ziyang's henchmen, and did not allow Zheng Guo to interfere with the fiefdom of Si Ziyang's henchmen, and at the same time launched a counterattack against Chu.

In order to gain the support of the Chu State, Dazai Xin and Zheng Gong ceded Linyi and returned the Yuguan of the Chu State, and at the same time moved 3,000 households to the Chu State, and sent farmers to help the Chu State build Wuyang City, but did not form an alliance with the Chu State, but fulfilled their responsibilities in the form of a truce treaty, and did not dare to anger the Three Jin Dynasty head-on.

After resting in Yangwu, the Wei division immediately went south, crossed the Pushui, and besieged Changling and Jin in the Chu state.

It was broken in a month, and the army of Chu Changling was annihilated, and Changling Jun was captured.

At this point, 50,000 Wei troops were stationed in Changling, which was only a river away from Daliang City, a border pass of Chu State. As long as the Great Liang City is broken, the gate of the Chu State in the Central Plains will be opened, and the Chu State will be greatly alarmed.

On the one hand, it continued to strengthen the defense of Daliang City, and on the other hand, it sent Pingye Jun and 40,000 commanders to attack Gaocheng, where Wei was stationed, as a retaliation for the destruction of Changling's army.

Although the state of Chu eventually captured Gaocheng, it suffered heavy losses.

This battle exposed the weakness of the Chu State, but on the outside, it seemed that it could still fight back and forth with the Wei State, but in fact, it had been wedged into the Chongyi at the doorstep.

At the same time, the internal situation of Sanjin has also been basically stabilized.

After Zhao's death, a series of coups d'état occurred within Zhao, because Zhao's son was still young, so Zhao's younger brother finally won and took over the government.

This was the result of a compromise, Zhao's younger brother did not change the yuan, such as Zhou Gong's routine of assisting King Cheng, but it also laid the groundwork for Zhao's civil strife.

Zhao's son is alive, Zhao's younger brother also has a son, and the foreshadowing of Zhao's civil strife has been laid at this time. Weiss stepped forward and began to secretly woo Zhao's younger brother.

He hoped to maintain the Three Jin Alliance, and Zhao's younger brother wanted to stabilize his rule and pave the way for his son, so he could only agree to Weiss's conditions, and after the two sides met, he said that he would continue to abide by the Three Jin Alliance. However, some nobles in Zhao were very dissatisfied with the Three Jin Alliance, just because Zhao's son was still young, and he could only endure it for the time being.

After Weiss allied with Zhao, news also came from Qin's side that Qin wanted to recuperate, hoped for a truce, and would no longer use troops against Hexi.

After the two sides were settled, Wei broke the Changling and Jin of Chu in a row, and captured Changlingjun while also showing the combat effectiveness of Wei, and the troops reached the gateway of the Central Plains of Chu.

Under the drastic changes in the situation, South Korea, which was originally prepared to wait and see, quickly made a choice.

Weiss supported Han Qian's son to the throne, and Han took the throne to stabilize the nobility in the country by appointing his uncle Xia Ti as the prime minister.

At the same time, Zheng Guo had a coup d'état, and the direction of South Korea's expansion was no longer Zheng Guo, who was in power and could fight with South Korea, but Zheng Guo, who was constantly coup d'état and was about to split.

So Han Qu immediately sent people to express his willingness to support the Three Jin Alliance, and after Wei broke through the Changling Tomb of Chu, he reached a secret agreement with Wei: once the mourning period was over, he would immediately send troops with Wei to defeat Chu. Chu did not want Korea, but hoped that Wei would not oppose South Korea's capture of Zheng.

Weiss needed an alliance with Zhao Guoming, and he did not expect Zhao to send troops at all, he pinned his hopes on the civil strife of Zhao's next generation, so he made peace with South Korea: acquiesced to South Korea's capture of some of Zheng's cities, but opposed Korea's complete annexation of Zheng. If the state of Chu is defeated, the land under the city of Daliang cannot be touched by Korea, and must belong to the state of Wei.

The two countries will join forces to enter Wang Ziding, and strive to make Wang Ziding split the Chu State, establish himself as the king of Chu, and comprehensively weaken the Chu State.

At this point, chaos and war in the Central Plains region were inevitable.
