The talk of fur and fleas is not a lie.

Tian Zifang accused Gongzi of not being proud, and many years later, Gongzi applied what he had learned to accuse Wu Qi of defecting as a soldier.

The scholar had nothing but pride and talent, so he could go anywhere.

Besides, don't say it's a flea, even if it's a fur attached to the skin, defection is common, and you have to guard against it.

As the saying goes, only Chu is talented, and only Jin can be used.

Shen Gong Wuchen, who defected from Chu State, Wu Zixu's grandfather who almost defected, and Wu Zixu, who defected because of family hatred, are all nobles with fiefs.

Shen Gong is the county duke, Wu Ju is the pepper doctor, these people may defect, not to mention these travelers?

Chu was Wei's confidant, Wu Qi's talent was well known to everyone in Wei, and no one present could bear the consequences of Wu Qi's defection or being taken over by Wang Ziding.

However, Wu Qi is already the guard of Xihe, what kind of reward can he give him further down?

As a prime minister, the nobles of the public clan are opposed, Wei Chengzi and others have great merits and fame, and the next prime minister must be Wei Chengzi.

After the Zhongshan Kingdom was destroyed, when Wei Sifeng's son was attacked as the king of Zhongshan, there were already nobles who opposed it.

When Feng Gongzi was the king of Zhongshan, Wei Si asked his ministers whether he was a benevolent monarch during a banquet.

The doctor sat down and said, what kind of benevolence is this if you don't give it to your younger brother when you conquer Zhongshan Kingdom, but you give it to your son?

This incident seems to be just an exhortation or an unintentional statement, but in fact it is a manifestation of the dissatisfaction of Wei Chengzi's family and nobles with Wei Si's use of wanderers.

In return, or as a consideration for the stability of Gongzi's accession to the throne, as soon as Li Kui dies, or Wei Si dies, then the phase must be handed over to Wei Chengzi and the subsequent public figures.

In exchange for the stability and support of the nobles of the clan, in order to avoid rebellions and other situations.

In other words, Wu Qi's Xihe Shou is the apex, and it is impossible to improve it under this situation.

Wei Si understood that if he was twenty years younger, he could restrain Wu Qi, or dare to use Wu Qi to suppress the dissatisfaction of those nobles.

But now, at this age, it's time to think about your son.

The flight of the prince of Chu and the coup d'état of the Song State and civil strife all brought excitement and hope to Weiss at the same time, but also brought a deep vigilance about the question of his heirs after his death.

He knew Wu Qi's talent, but he didn't dare to use it because of the dissatisfaction of the nobles of the clan, let alone use it when he was old and left his son with a chaotic and dissatisfied court.

Li Kui's plan was excellent, and Wei Si also understood that Chu Fei was the disaster of the Tian family's internal strife, Xiang Ziniu, and the Yue people went north to the Qi State, and he also understood that his son might not be able to defeat the Chu people quickly.

Li Kui said very clearly, within two years, if he could break through Fangcheng and cross the Great Wall of Chu, quickly force the Chu people to form an alliance, enter the prince and reach a series of contracts, and on the contrary, agree to the Mo family's Central Plains troops with great strategic advantages, and then go all out to oppress the Qin State, the situation of the Wei State will be completely opened.

But...... Wei State can't give Wu a phase, and the Chu State that is forced to be anxious is only afraid that it will give Wu a position of Ling Yin, especially if it is in the case of entering the prince to set a name for himself in the world.

If you can't reward you for your work, what should you do? What can you rely on to convince Wu Qi that he can't be rewarded? Tell him unequivocally, for the peace of the clan? Will he be able to accept it?

The change of the Wei State is not yet complete, and the power of the princes has swelled, so this most perfect plan cannot be used at all.

The rumors about Wu Qi circulating in the city, Wei Si didn't believe it, but he had to be vigilant.

What kind of person is Wu Qi? A person who can kill his wife and ask for a general, and can die without losing his mother, can he always be a Xihe guard with peace of mind?

If the reputation of the traveler rises, where can't the world go? Which of the kings of the world is not welcome?

Everyone present was speechless in the face of Gongzi's words, especially Tian Zifang, who had educated Gongzi to fight the most proud, and it was impossible for him to say anything to refute.

Weiss hesitated for a long time, but finally made a decision.

Let Wu Qi continue to defend the West River, not to transfer Wu Qi as the commander, but to send envoys to Korea and Zheng as soon as possible, reconcile the contradictions between Zheng and Han, organize the alliance of Han, Wei and Zheng, and start a war against Chu with the right to claim the right of the prince.

As for Zhao Guo...... Weiss had given up, as long as they didn't stab them in the back.

…………

The changes in the world are always impossible for people to guess.

The Central Plains Army, which originally seemed to be about to be realized, became confusing because of the assassination of the King of Chu.

A new round of Jinchu hegemony is about to begin, and the clouds of war have already spread in the Central Plains.

In Yuguan, Chu State, the son of Huan Dingjun of Yangcheng is visiting a childhood friend, Meng Sheng of the Mo family.

As the best disciple of the Mo family, and as the leader of the three generations of disciples of the Mo family, Meng Sheng has been squeezed out of the Mo family's Central Plains decision-making circle after the Mo family was reorganized a few years ago.

Nominally, he is the person in charge of the Chu Di Mo people, but the center of the Mo family is in Pei County, and the personnel who are constantly rotated are adjusted, and the Mo people who are constantly sent or sent back are synonymous only with the seven enlightenment and giant sons of Pei County, or the heads of each department.

This kind of exclusion is invisible, it is a formal procedure after the reorganization of the Mo family, and Meng Sheng himself did not know that he would be the third giant in the original history, so he was unaware of this silent exclusion.

Before Mozi died, Meng Sheng never thought that he could become a giant.

Even if Mozi died, there were still birds and birds, and there were seven realizations, these people were all masterpieces, and Meng Sheng felt that he couldn't reach them.

Therefore, as the person in charge of the Chu Di Mo family, he is already a popular figure in the Mo family, although he is not as good as those who are around Mozi, but he can also be regarded as the first person of the three generations of the Mo family.

It's just that among Mozi's personal disciples, there is one who is younger than him, and he has been as active as a meteor in the past few years, and everything is full of variables.

Meng Sheng is not only a nobleman, but also a vassal of Huan Dingjun, and he has been friends with the son of Yangchengjun since he was a child, and it is not abrupt for the son of Yangchengjun to visit him.

Moreover, now Yuguan is building a city here, and it is some people from the Mo family who are responsible for the construction of it, which is used to burn bricks and stones to mix mud and strengthen the city defense.

Rumors such as the king of Chu being captured by the Mo family and swearing to benefit the world with the Mo family have already spread here, and Meng Sheng's identity has an extra layer of equality.

The prince of Yangcheng came this time in the hope that Meng Sheng would come forward in a private capacity to help the Chu people consolidate the city defense of Yuguan.

Yuguan is only a few days away from Zhengdu, and the internal news of Zheng Guo has long been known to the Chu people, and Yangchengjun, who is in charge of the defense of Yuguan, is nervous.

The Zheng people had already begun to mobilize and were ready to send troops to attack the state of Chu in the name of entering the prince's decision, not recognizing the legitimacy of the king of Chu.

Wuyang City, as a wedge stuck into Zheng Guo, must be the first to bear the brunt.

And this time the reaction of the Sanjin is also predictable, so it is impossible to mobilize too many troops to the front line of Yuguan on the front line of Fangcheng Luguan, so as not to be penetrated by the Sanjin into the Nanyang Basin and seize the essence of Chu.

The number of the division in Yuguan was not large, and before Xiong Dang's death, the Zheng people were allies of the Chu people, and they were allies with common enemies, and the Chu division stationed in Yuguan was more of an attitude.

But now Zheng Ren suddenly turned his face, and the situation in Yuguan became precarious.

The envoy came to report that Jing Jia and Shu had led a part of the Wang division to the north to support, but it would take a while, and it could only be expected that Yangchengjun would be able to resist the Zheng people's attack by relying on the division of Yuguan.

Zheng Ren has undergone the transformation of Si Ziyang, and his combat effectiveness is there, and he just defeated South Korea in Huangchi a few years ago, and his troops are sharp.

Yang Chengjun understood that he could not fight a decisive battle with the Zheng people until the reinforcements of the Jing and Shu clans arrived.

However, if Yuguan and Zheng can be reached in a day or two, it is not up to him to decide whether they want a decisive battle or not.

Zheng Ren reacted extremely quickly this time, because Zheng Ren hoped to get enough benefits before Sanjin sent troops, and Sanjin would definitely send troops anyway.

In the first battle of Shangqiu, the Mo family defended the city and counterattacked the shaking of the world, and there were weapons such as gunpowder, and all the experience of fighting against the twelve sieges.

Even if Meng Sheng doesn't have Mo Zhai's talent and intelligence to be a transfer machine, a car, and a fire gun, he should still be able to defend the city.

Therefore, the prince of Yangcheng came to visit Meng Sheng, hoping that Meng Sheng could come forward to organize the city defense, or get enough support from the Mo family.

Meng Sheng was hesitating, because he knew the content of the covenant between the Mo family and the king of Chu, which had been explained clearly by sending someone early on, and it was impossible for him, the person in charge of the Mo family in Chu, not to know the content.

After three years, the Mo family will help the defense of the country participating in the army, and determine that the side that takes the initiative to attack is an unjust war.

However, is the battle for inheritance a righteous war?

Meng Sheng was a little puzzled at this point.

The prince of Yangcheng did not argue with Meng Sheng on the matter of whether or not to fight righteously, but said: "Regardless of whether this matter is righteous or unjust, after all, the Zheng people will send troops to invade my Wuyang first. You and my friend, this is a private invitation to you, not related to the benefit of the world. ”

"Can't the friendship between you and me move you?"

"After entering the Mo family, aren't you Meng Sheng? Don't have any friends? Do you have to listen to the giants in everything you do? Do you need your giant's permission to eat and drink? ”

"On the premise of not harming the world, isn't this something you can do to help your friends?"

The friends here are real friends, not the kind of friends who assist.

In the first battle of Shangqiu, Meng Shengruo was a Chu native and was still a subordinate of Yangchengjun, but as a disciple of the Mo family, he could already sit on an equal footing with Yangchengjun's son-in-law.

Yangcheng Jun's sister-in-law and Meng Sheng have known each other for a long time, and the two can be said to have grown up together since childhood, but later the circumstances were different, and Meng Sheng joined the Mo family.

Over the years, if there are difficulties, the son of Yangcheng Jun has also helped his family a lot, and he has always treated Meng Sheng with courtesy.

The words just now made Meng Sheng faintly moved.

Indeed, after all, this matter was the Zheng people who sent troops first, and the Chu State, even if it was not a righteous defense, could be regarded as the attacked party.

is not harming the world, and it seems that it is indispensable to come forward in his private capacity to help Yangcheng Jun guard Yuguan.

When Meng Sheng was hesitating, a Mo family disciple surnamed Xu was weak, regardless of etiquette, and whispered a few words in Meng Sheng's ear.
