In view of this strategic judgment, Xiong Su hoped for a regional defense treaty, not an alliance with Wei and Han.

It is difficult to form an alliance between Wei, Han and Chu, and there is a deep hatred, and once an alliance is formed, it is easy for Chu to fall into a war that Chu does not want to participate in.

The contradiction between Wei and Qin surrounds the West River, and this knot cannot be untied.

Qin and Chu have always been married, and the relationship has always been close, and the state of Chu needs the ally of Qin in the face of the three jins.

If Wei and Chu form an alliance, once Wei and Qin go to war, Chu will support Wei according to the alliance, which is very unsuitable for Chu.

On the contrary, if it was only an anti-Mexican defense alliance in the Yangxia region of Daliang, if Wei and Qin went to war, Chu could not participate, because the war took place in the Xihe River and not in the Central Plains, so there was no need to fulfill the obligation and thus continue to maintain friendly relations with Qin.

Moreover, the Qin State is an unstable factor for the Wei State, if the Mo family goes north, Qin and Wei go to war, and Wei and Mo go to war, because the Chu State does not form an alliance with Wei and Han, it can continue to maintain neutrality and watch the excitement, so that the fisherman can benefit.

What the Mo family envoy sent was just a strategic outline, and there were many specific things that the King of Chu could not accept, but based on some acceptable ones, it was still possible to negotiate.

At this point, the envoy of the Mo family stayed in Chendi and continued to negotiate with the king of Chu.

The good news, or the news that showed the sincerity of the Mo family, kept coming, and the Sishang Yishi in the Song State began to retreat except for a small part to help maintain order; Sishang has already issued a proposal to cancel the mobilization, and although it has not yet been formally implemented, the people's hearts have been fluctuating.

All this relieved King Chu's tense nerves, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

On this day, the king of Chu was about to continue to invite the Mo family envoy to talk, and the attendant came over with a panicked look and brought a news that shocked the king of Chu.

"Wang, Wei Han swore into Zheng, detained the Si clan who went to the Huimeng, and announced the three crimes of Zheng Guo."

"One, two in Sishang."

"Second, Zheng Ren III killed his father, and the heavens will punish him, and he will help the heavens to punish him."

"Third, Zheng Han's revenge, Han Hou said that the revenge of killing his father can be avenged."

"The Koreans sent 50,000 troops to Yangcheng, and the Wei people sent 50,000 troops to Zhongyang, attacking the east and west, and Xinzheng has been besieged."

"The Great Sima was in the alliance, and Uncle Wei Xianggong said that he could promise to jointly defend the Mo family, and said that he would never fight with Chu in the Central Plains, and said that the Mo family was the great enemy of the Central Plains, and it was not possible to fight with each other and make profits."

Xiong Su was furious, slapped the case, and scolded: "Wei Zhen is shameless, Han You is unjust!" I didn't know what I did! ”

He angrily took the message sent from the front, and after a brief sweep, he roughly understood.

As early as a few days ago, the Mo family had sent people to Zheng Guo, saying with great fanfare that they wanted to ensure Zheng Guo's independence, but they also reprimanded Zheng Guo's laws for being too strict and the people could not benefit, so Zheng Guo wanted to get the Mo family's independence, and he had to carry out a series of political reforms, which made the negotiations anxious.

Although anxious, the Mo family has already shown a sense of regression, and it is very likely that the non-offensive alliance will be signed soon, once this alliance is signed, Zheng Guo will send troops if Wei Han attacks the Mo family.

Moreover, the Mo family had been active in Zheng Guo before, and they also transported weapons and repaired the city walls, which had already made Wei Han frightened.

But Xiong Su understood that Wei Han's attack on Zheng was not sudden, but had already been planned, otherwise, how could he have gathered so many troops so quickly and made all preparations?

I'm afraid that the talks with the Chu State are fake, and it is true to take the opportunity of the Mo family to enter the Song and Chu States to capture the Zheng State.

Moreover, this time the king of Chu was fortunate to visit Chen, so that the surrounding feudal lords came to see him, and the northern frontier of Chu was in a situation where he could not send troops for the time being.

Han and Zheng were very close to each other, and if they marched in a hurry, they could reach the capital of Zheng in three or five days.

Once the capital is broken, it will be too late for the Chu State to intervene.

…………

Twenty years ago, it belonged to Zheng State, and now belongs to Wei State.

Uncle Wei Xiang, who had endured the angry accusations of the Great Sima of Chu State for a whole day, was having a banquet with a group of Wei ministers with a sneer.

"I remember that when Dr. Lu Yang wanted to attack Zheng, Dr. Lu Yang said that Zheng Ren was guilty, so he fought for heaven. Mo Zhai said, this is like a person's son is not good, you rush in and beat that son, saying that I am beating for your father, because if you don't do it, your father will definitely beat you. ”

Speaking of this, the Wei people present laughed, 20 years ago, the Mohists upheld the idea of establishing a new international law and not interfering in the internal affairs of small countries.

Twenty years later, however, the Mohists had become poor and did not interfere in their internal affairs; Da is an organization that punishes injustice and benefits the world.

Uncle Gong does not call Lu Yang Gong, but calls him Lu Yang Doctor, which is also a kind of political correctness.

Since the state of Chu was known as a barbarian, it has been engaged in Xiaoxi Zhou, taking the county as the country and the king as the public, Wei Zhen is still only a marquis, and Lu Yangjun is the duke, which is regarded as an arrogance in the Central Plains Zhuxia, so the uncle is called Luyang Doctor.

Now the army of Wei has crossed the border city of Zheng and reached the capital of Zheng, which is too small and has no strategic depth.

In Uncle Gong's opinion, Wei Han is actually not completely prepared.

The best time should actually be to send troops to attack Zheng after Wei Chuhan signed the Central Plains Mutual Anti-Ink Treaty.

However, this time, the Mo family wanted to protect Zheng Guo's independence, and had already begun to contact and negotiate with Zheng Guo, and the second batch of supplies and some aid had already entered Zheng Guo through Lu State, which made it impossible for Wei Han to wait any longer.

Zheng Guo did not officially enter the non-offensive alliance one day, and the Mo family could only send troops in the name of punishment and injustice.

In other words, the Mo family could not borrow the Song Kingdom.

Because if Zheng joined the non-offensive alliance, then Zheng was invaded, and both Song and Sishang, who were in the non-offensive alliance, were obliged to send troops, so the Mo family could use the land and logistics of the Song state to directly attack the most vulnerable Central Plains waistline of the Wei state.

Because Zheng Guo had not yet joined the Non-Offensive Alliance, Zheng Guo was invaded, and the Song State had no reason to punish injustice, and the Mo family could only use the reason to punish injustice.

In this way, the scale of the troops cannot be too large.

Before this, Uncle Acne had already sent a message to Wei Hou to send an envoy to Sishang, telling that the attack on Zheng had nothing to do with Wei, and hoped that the Mo family would not casually enter the territory of Wei Guo.

The order ordered a part of the Wei army to be under the command of the general Gou Bian and stationed on the border.

Gou changed his person, quite talented, Zhong Ni's grandson Si once recommended this person to Wei Hou, saying that this person has the talent of 500 times. Wei Hou said, I know the talent of this person, but he once embezzled two eggs when he was a local official, so I can't use such a person. Hou Zisi persuaded Wei Hou with the principle of "taking its strengths and discarding its shortcomings", and Gou became a general above Wei...... As for whether it violates Confucian morality to say that the emphasis on talent and not virtue is contrary to Confucian morality, that is another question.

In addition, not long ago, the envoy of the Mo family also came to participate in the alliance, although no one invited him, but after he came, he reiterated the set of rhetoric with the king of Chu.

Therefore, Uncle Gong made up his mind to attack Zheng Guo under the condition that the preparation was not sufficient, taking advantage of the fact that the Mo family was still negotiating with Zheng Guo, Zheng Guo had not formally signed a treaty to join the non-offensive alliance, and the Mo family was trumpeting non-offensive peace and the non-offensive alliance as a defensive alliance.

Since the Mo family could not go from the Song State and could not go from the Wei State, then if the Mo family wanted to interfere with the Zheng State, they had to choose to send troops from Huaishui and bypass the Chu State to apply for Chen Cai.

Not to mention whether the state of Chu can agree to an armed march in the state of Chu with propaganda capabilities, even if it is allowed, such a march route will take three or two months, to say the least.

Moreover, the long distance is also destined to prevent the Mo family from sending troops on a large scale, and if it is less, it is equivalent to sending food, so the possibility of Sishang sending troops is extremely small.

The Mohists are in the world, relying on honesty and morality, even if some doctrines are not accepted by scholars, but honesty is another matter.

Uncle Gong was sure that the Mo family would not just say that the non-offensive alliance was a defensive alliance, and then he would use the Song State to attack the Wei State on the back foot.

What needs to be considered now is the attitude of the state of Chu, but the attitude of the state of Chu is determined by when the capital of the state of Zheng falls.

If it can be resolved within ten days, then there is almost no possibility that the Chu State will send troops.

As long as the capital of Zheng State does not support three or five months, and create a situation like the Shangqiu Defense War when King Zhuang attacked the Song Dynasty, by the time Chu State reacted, it would already be a complete boat.

So far, the offensive of Wei and Han has been quite smooth.

Zheng Guo's soldiers were generally war-weary, and they were about to collapse at the first touch.

Moreover, many of Zheng Guo's leading party were also on Wei's side.

In that year, Si Ziyang was in power, and the remaining six clans of the Seven Mu killed Si Ziyang, and Zheng Guo was divided. Soon after, the remnants of Si Ziyang counterattacked Xinzheng, executed Zheng Jun, and set up a new monarch, and then vigorously purged the nobles who murdered Si Ziyang back then.

A large number of nobles fled to Wei, so much so that when Wei invaded some of Zheng's cities under the pretext of seeking justice for Si Ziyang, the local doctors opened the city gates and warmly welcomed them.

This time, a large number of Qimuyu parties will also enter Zheng State together, under the banner of avenging the Duke of Xuan and the clansmen who died in the coup d'état, and the Qimuyu Party was not all cleaned up that year, so that Wei Han basically did not encounter any resistance before attacking Xinzheng.

Zheng Guo developed too early, was richer than the rest of the Central Plains, and had more sound civil laws, so Zheng Guo was generally war-weary and anti-war.

In that year, the prince of Chu set the incident, Zheng and Chu were at war, and the Zheng people were anti-war and war-weary, so much so that they scattered in a hurry before they could make contact, and would rather be captured than fight.

Wei and South Korea did not use the banner of building a "royal paradise", but the people of Zheng were really tired and didn't want to fight.

What if you win? What is the difference between giving taxes to someone surnamed Ji and giving it to someone surnamed Han? What is the difference between changing one's own monarch and lord from one with the surname Ji to one with the surname Wei?

For the blood feud of the Zheng Han clan, the Zheng people have been fighting for fifty years, and the Zheng people don't want to fight, they just want to be a citizen of Wei and Han in peace.

At the very least, there was no such conquest, and the taxes and military service were much less.

The princes have a country, the doctors have a home, and the common people are not qualified to have a home at this moment, let alone a country, they really don't understand what they want to defend.

Is there a difference between Zheng and Wei? In Zheng Ren's opinion, I am afraid that there is no, except that Zheng Guo's dialect is more vernacular, and the origin of the vernacular is more vernacular, and there seems to be no difference in others.

The nobles speak Yayin, the common people speak dialects, the nobles have the etiquette of the nobles, the common people have the etiquette of the common people, and when it comes to the Han Zheng people, in fact, the nobles and the common people are more like two nations - and there is reproductive isolation.
