The answer to Solushen's question seems simple, but in fact it involves a lot.

The Mohist organization determined that even though Takayanagi was thousands of miles away from Si, it was necessary to act in unison for a common purpose.

Gaoliu's westward development and construction of the city is a major event in Gaoliu, but the world in the eyes of the entire Mo family is only a part of the overall purpose.

Gao Liu's affairs depend on Zhao Guo.

The affairs of Zhao Guo determined Wei Hanqi's movements.

Wei Hanqi's movements determined Sishang's attitude towards Fei, Xue and other vassal states.

In this matter, it is necessary to act in unison.

Just as the Mo family acted against the Yue Kingdom, it was an opportunity to take advantage of the contradictions between Wei and Chu to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains.

This time the crisis of Zhao's inheritance was also an opportunity for the Mo family to plan for many years to completely assimilate Sishang.

Whether to interfere or not does not depend on whether there is a "truth" in what the Mo family does, because the basis of the truth is different, and many things are just chickens and ducks.

Whether or not to be interfered with depends on whether Wei Hanqi and other countries have the energy.

As soon as something happens to the Zhao Kingdom, the three kingdoms will not pay attention to Si, and this is also the last chance for the Mo family to quietly expand.

Once the integration of the remaining vassal states in Sishang is completed, the Mo family will have to face those big princes, that is, it is about to tear their faces.

Therefore, this matter is very important, fortunately, Zhao Hou's health has been bad since last year, and it seems that he will not survive for two years, and Sishang has already formulated a general policy in last month's correspondence.

Even if there is no such thing as Que and Jun, Gao Yanagi will find reasons to make some things clear, because Sishang has already begun to carry out propaganda and agitation and is ready to start.

Before making a move, it must be determined that the three kingdoms of Wei, Han, and Qi will be involved in the affairs of Zhao State.

The Mo family's spies, meticulous workmen, and lobbyists are operating in various countries, estimating the reaction of all parties, and thus determining when to do it.

Politics involves people, and people cannot be inferred by reason, especially under the monarchy.

So it looks like a gamble, the bet is that Wei Hanqi will not take care of Sishang, but will interfere with Zhao Guo and use Zhao Guo as a shield for Sishang.

Therefore, when Suo Lushen heard General Qu say seemingly casually, "As soon as the matter here is resolved, I will inform the Marquis of Zhongmu Zhao about this matter", it was actually extremely heavy, so heavy that it involved the dynamics and fate of tens of thousands of troops in several major vassal states.

Solushen didn't ask any more questions, and nodded his head to indicate that he knew.

…………

A few days later, instead of turning back, the army came to the North Sea, where it was stationed.

Within a few days, many tribal leaders sent people to the camp to offer lambs and the like as a sign of submission, but the Qu general still gave these people goods of the same value according to the rules of the Mo family, and accepted those lambs that symbolized submission.

In fact, when the news of the arrival of the army in Beihai reached the steppe tribes a few days ago, many of the leaders panicked.

They already knew the news of the hasty escape of those tribes before, and more than 10,000 people who were light and strong, besieging a group of hundreds of people who had returned from afar, were actually scared away.

Those tribes who did not participate in this because of greed were secretly lucky in their hearts, thinking that they had already told them not to provoke those people in Takayanagi, those tribes were confused by greed, and now they finally know how terrible those people are.

In addition to luck, there is also hatred. Those people fled to the grasslands in the northwest, where their tribes were advantageous and did not want to migrate at all, who knows if those people in Takayanagi would not be able to distinguish the tribe and vent their anger?

After the army entered the South China Sea, the leaders of the nearby tribes sent people to pay their respects, repeatedly stating that their tribes were absolutely not involved in the previous incident.

This involves interests in the Takayanagi market, and some of the tokens issued by Takayanagi that are allowed to be traded can be recovered, and these tribes have to worry about Takayanagi's retaliation as well as their own interests.

Fortunately, after those envoys came back, they all said that the army was stationed, and there was no offense, and they also said that the Mo family would not wronged the good people and would not let the bad people go, and they would find out, so that everyone did not have to worry.

However, an invitation was issued, and ten days later the leaders of the various tribes were gathered in the South China Sea, first, to testify to each other that they had not participated in the previous siege of Solushen; second, to discuss with the various tribes about profitable trade; The third is that the Mo family is not attacking, and I don't want to see such a thing as the strong swallowing the weak on the grassland; Fourth, the certificates that allow transactions are old, and it is also said that they are in exchange for new ones.

There are both threats and temptations.

If you don't go, you will be afraid of weakness, and there will be no one to help prove that your tribe did not participate in the last robbery.

If you don't go, you have to worry about being taken back the certificates that allow trading, and then the tribe will have a lot less interest.

Fortunately, the people of the Mo family talk about integrity, which the tribes close to Takayanagi know that although many ideas make the clan leaders very annoying, there is still a good reputation for integrity.

The chiefs set out with courage, gifts, cattle and sheep.

On the 10th, near the lake that Takayanagi called the North Sea and the Hu people called the South China Sea, the flag was unfurled.

The leaders of nine tribes, large and small, within four hundred miles, had gathered.

The captives rode on the white stars and stood in the camp, surrounded by figures who were excellent at equestrianism and who had been on the list in some of the military competitions held by Takayanagi.

According to the rules of the Hu people, this gathering was held as a grand event, comparing survival and war skills such as wrestling, equestrianism, and archery.

According to the plan of the Mo family, this gathering will be a show of force with dry dances and uniforms, in addition to comparing equestrian archery, it is also necessary to show the power of salvos, cannons, and explosions.

Shirahoshi is a good horse, and his riding skills are not bad, so he can show it.

The army has always been worried about the fact that he was overwhelmed by the condor shooters in the Hu people last time, but it is really difficult to find characters in the condor shooting skills in the army compared with those condor shooters, and today they will compete with others according to the rules of the Mo family.

These days, the army has been preparing and selecting the best players in each company, just to let the Hu people know today that there are also good riders in the Central Plains.

The general process has also been rehearsed in the past few days, and the prisoners have to race horses with the Hu people.

After the horse race, there are also displays such as spear charges, infantry musket salvos, and artillery bombardments of the martial knight company, so as to impress the Hu people.

The time has not yet come, and these people are still waiting.

The mare's milk on the side whispered: "It's okay for us to show the musket artillery, they won't." Then you say let's show the warrior knight with a spear impact, what should these people do if they learn it? ”

Shu Prisoner Mi didn't turn his head, maintained an upright posture, and whispered back: "They can't learn." It's not that you don't know that those few martial knight companies that can carry spears have been trained for five or six years. The people who are selected are all good at fighting, and they are trained in the barracks, how can these be easy to learn? ”

"A tribe of a few thousand people can't afford to raise a company of cavalry that is completely out of production and training. Let them see, and they won't learn. ”

The two were muttering, and the captain who led the team in front coughed lightly, turned around and glared at the two, and the prisoner hurriedly shut up.

After a while, the horn sounded, and the flute and drummer in the army played military music, and the drums shook the sky.

Shu Prisoner Mi saw that at the front desk, Qu Jiangzi was talking to several Hu leaders.

It was too far away for him to hear clearly, but he had already rehearsed what he was going to do today. Shu Prisoner Mi thought to himself, maybe he was talking to those Hu people about the banquet performance.

As he was talking, the school officer who led the team called Shu Prisoner Mi and a few others, smiled and pinched the shoulders of a few people and said, "Go, don't let the Hu people rob us of our prestige." ”

Shu Prisoner nodded, carefully arranged the saddle and stirrup belly belt, lightly pinched the horse's belly, and came to a wide field with a few people around him.

There are also many warriors on the Hu people's side, riding horses without saddles, growing up riding sheep since childhood, even without saddles and stirrups, they still sit very steadily.

The captive looked at these Hu people who were swaying with the horses on their horses, and thought to himself, how can you slash and sprint? It is nothing more than that you can draw the bow and shoot twenty or thirty steps, and the condor shooter has to dismount if he wants to shoot accurately. You can shoot the eagle, that's because the eagle doesn't have muskets, our infantry is in formation, the muskets are in the four corners, and under the fire, how many condor archers do you have?

Mocking in his heart, he didn't dare to relax on his body, and gently stroked Bai Xing, who was already a little excited, thinking that he would have to earn back face for the righteous master today.

A drum sounded, and the horses of these races rushed out.

Shu Prisoner Mi leaned over, as if lying on the back of a horse, his body naturally rose and fell with the excited white star running wildly, and the scarf behind his head was blown out by the wind.

There were no other horses in front of him, and they were the first to run out, and the strange purple and white wildflowers that bloomed in the summer kept running backwards under his feet, as if trying to avoid the horse's hooves.

When he ran to a small hill and was about to turn back, Shu Prisoner Qi straightened up and looked back, a good hand of Hu people followed him closely, without stirrups and saddles, and still ran fast.

The Hu people's legs were clamped between the horse's belly, and the captives knew that if they stood on the ground, there would be a lot of space between their legs, as if they could drill through a puppy.

There were a few people scuffling together, and no one stopped them, and the prisoner vaguely saw that the mare's milk seemed to be scuffling with a Hu man, his horse was spinning in a circle on the side, and the stirrups were hanging on the side, it seemed that the two people bumped into each other and scuffled after running, which is allowed, and the Hu people have such rules.

The Hu man behind him was riding a white horse, the horse was very beautiful, and the prisoner didn't want to admit that the Hu man's riding skills were very good, so he could only mutter: "It's a good horse!" ”

Then he reluctantly raised the whip and whipped it on Shirahoshi's ass as if he were wielding an iron sword.

The horse of the Hu man behind him was very fast, and it seemed that he was catching up, and Shirahoshi was also a little impatient, and raised his hooves without waiting for the master's whip to fall.
