Chapter 235: Drawing a Gourd in the Same Way as Zen Again (1)
When the herald soldiers with the news of Tian Wu's appearance in the Yishui area rushed to Yingyi, the battle of Yingyi was nearing the end.
This was a battle without suspense, the unwarlike Qi army stormed the city for several days without success, dug a trench and was counterattacked, and the soldiers were full of despair for this battle.
And the righteous division carried the aftermath of the first battle of Nanjishui, the pride of breaking Pingyang City in a few days, the excitement of the last battle, and most importantly, the discipline, training, and weapons that opened the gap in the past two decades, making this battle almost unbright.
The most simple and commonly used, easily recognizable tactic, using the mobility advantage of cavalry and horizontal infantry to encircle the two flanks first, but even if they knew this simple tactic, the Qi army still had no way to crack it.
More than 500 nobles above sergeant were captured, 8,000 Qi troops were killed in battle, more than 40,000 Qi troops surrendered, and more than 100 nobles or sergeants committed suicide.
Compared to Xiang Yu, who was twenty years old and raised troops to destroy Qin at the age of twenty a hundred years later, he joined the Mo family for twenty years, which was worthy of defeating a Qi country.
But he was still satisfied, after all, he had never thought of comparing himself to those geniuses who had shimmered in the starry sky of history.
As long as the situation in the world allows, the Mo family can stay in Qi for as long as they want, and they can attack the city of Qi wherever they want.
Facing the soldiers who were counting the prisoners all over the mountains, Shi said to the officers: "The matter of the prisoners is not a trivial matter, and we must pay attention to it." ”
"Thanks to Qi Hou, if it weren't for him, how would he be able to gather tens of thousands of people together? If we don't gather these tens of thousands of people together, how can we promote the morality of the Mohists in the most efficient way? ”
"On weekdays, ordinary people live in villages, just like potatoes in the ground, you have to dig them out one by one, and tens of thousands of people who want to preach morality may need hundreds of ink writers. Now, dozens of more than 100 people are enough, and the effect is better. ”
"Therefore, the cruel and filthy aristocracy is the full-time revolutionary; Those princes who gathered the scattered people into the army in order to start an unjust war are the best friends of the Xuanyi Ministry......"
As soon as he finished saying this, the herald who ran from Yishui passed the news to Shi's hands.
Shi looked at the news on the note, frowned, and the news on the note was the news that Tian Wu appeared on the bank of the Yishui River.
A brigade of soldiers can't stop 8,000 people, and it's good that the ink fighters in the brigade decided to intercept this matter desperately in Yishui.
In terms of rules, the decision made by the brigade before convening a meeting of the ink people was against the order above, but because the basic information of the order above was wrong, it was okay.
But how to solve this matter, he must make a quick decision.
There is no doubt that Yu Su's brigade could not stop the 8,000 Qi Army, after all, each brigade has never had the experience of fighting alone, and it is generally a group operation, and each brigade is basically a separate chess piece under the cooperation between the various arms.
But how many days can you keep it? It depends on the level of Yu Su's side. But even if the troops were to march now, it would take at least a few days.
He doesn't care where Tian Wu goes, as long as the battle is over, Qi is a weak soft persimmon, he can pinch it as much as he wants, and the matter has come to this point, and the unjust order has been issued, this is already a political issue that cannot be compromised, it is useless for anyone to intercede, the big deal is to desperately start a war against the princes of the world in advance.
What he cares about is the soldiers of that brigade, and what he is most afraid of is that the soldiers of this brigade will be wiped out in formation, which is a loss for the righteous teacher, and it is also a blow to the princes of the world who are afraid of the invincibility of the Mo family.
At this time, he didn't care about the affairs of the battlefield, so he hurriedly summoned everyone to discuss this matter, and after explaining the situation, he asked the person in charge of intelligence: "Is the secret envoy from Tian Yan's side still there?" ”
"In. Just after congratulating us on winning the battle of Winyi, I also praised us for not killing prisoners and not building a view of Beijing. ”
Tian Yan's secret envoy has been in secret contact with the Mo family, and after thinking about it, he said: "I think this matter should be divided into two steps. It is our business to send troops to support the brigade in Yusu. But in case Tian Wu runs away before we can help, we have to consider the possibility of him going back to a coup d'état. ”
"Well, I suggest...... Now let's make this matter clear to Tian Yan's secret envoy. If Tian Yan is willing, then we can make a coup d'état in the name of punishing injustice, and we support it, and promise him that we will withdraw our troops after the coup is successful. ”
"Now the situation is critical for Taran. Tian Wu is already jumping over the wall in a hurry, and he has no other possibility than to launch a coup d'état. ”
"Our conditions can be discussed slowly, such as the restrictions on the spread of Mohist preaching after we leave, and the retaliation against the people who divide the land...... We can talk about it slowly in the future. But there is one thing that must be discussed clearly now, let Tian Yan hand over Tian Wu. ”
"Tell Tian Yan that if necessary, withdraw the defense of Changcheng, and we can directly send troops to help him quell the rebellion."
He always felt that Tian Yan couldn't support the wall, and after ascending to the throne of Qi Hou as the crown prince in history, he was overthrown by Tian Wu's coup, which can be regarded as extremely incompetent.
He has been waiting for so long, waiting for the news that Tian He is seriously ill, Tian Yan has not yet made a coup d'état, and is still waiting, and now he must put some pressure on him.
The coup d'état of Tian Yan was beneficial to the Mo family. Shi Ye didn't believe that Tian Yan could think of benefiting the world at all, but the first thing Tian Yan did when he came to power in a coup d'état, he needed to make peace immediately, and with the help of the Mo family, he would clear the nobles of Tian He's family.
Now the conditions he gave are enough to make Tian Yan tempted: If you can't do it, let Kaichangcheng go, and we will help you kill your brother.
If there are more, it is needless to say, and the most urgent thing to come now is Tian Yan.
Tian Wu buried the Linzi Army this time, and as the commander of Tian Qing after his death, he escaped from the battle, if he didn't make a coup, it would really be a dead end.
Tian Wu's desperate road is crazy, Tian Yan must also deal with it, and Qi Guo can't fight anymore.
The Juhe Jimo Legion did not dare to move, the Pingyin Legion was destroyed, the Linzi Legion was destroyed, and the mobile field force was lost, and the land reform in full swing here has panicked the nobles, especially the fiefdom nobles north of the Great Wall, who will panic and continue to fight to burn the fire of land reform to the north of the Great Wall.
Based on this realistic judgment, I feel that this will be a perfect opportunity.
The trial of Tian Wu was to expand the influence of the Mo family, and it was also really to demonstrate justice.
And Tian Wu fled back to the coup d'état, forcing Qi to civil strife, which was exactly the fulfillment of his utilitarian wish.
Without further ado, after the matter was agreed, Sishang and Gongzaoye were first notified, and at the same time cavalry was dispatched to support Yishui, and the large army entered Yingyi for repair, ready to cross the Great Wall to Linzi at any time.
…………
Qi country Linzi.
This wealthy city, which was the first city in the world before the rise of Sishang, is now full of depression.
A large number of light and strong expeditions did not return, news of successive defeats, rumors of Wei and Han's renunciation of the alliance and the Mo family's separate peace, Tian He's serious illness, and so on, all made the city a little lifeless.
Many laborers were still hurrying to build the city wall, and a few fast horses crossed the city gate and went straight to Tian Yan's mansion, and after closing the gate, the news of the Battle of Winning Yi and the possible return of Tian Wu in Yishui was transmitted to Tian Yan.
Tian Yan immediately summoned the advisors and cronies around him and looked at the conditions of the Mo family together.
The doctor in Changcheng is the person from Tian Yan's side, and as for the coup d'état that was escorted into the capital by a foreign country, it is often said that Tian Yan really doesn't want to do it in his heart.
Because the Mo family is not other princes, the Mo family's land reform south of the Great Wall has offended half of the nobles of the Qi country too deeply, if he is too close to the Mo family on the surface, then he, the prince or the Marquis of Qi, will not be able to sit still.
The secret envoy said: "Gongzi is worry-free, the people on the Mo family's side said that if Gongzi is opposed by the nobles, he only needs to let Kaichang City, and the Mo family will send a large number of captives back to Linzi first, and they will be the main force guarding Linzi to prevent a coup d'état." ”
Tian Yan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does the Mo family mean, let me let Kaichang City and let the captives of the Qi people come back to suppress the rebellion?" ”
The secret envoy said, "That's exactly what it means." The sergeant of the army was extremely dissatisfied with Tian Wu, especially this time when he escaped from the battle, when the Mo family gave a lecture to the captives, he said that Tian Wu was a careerist, and he wanted to use the dry bones of tens of thousands of Linzi people to build a ladder to climb to the position of the Marquis of Qi, and he didn't care about the life or death of tens of thousands of Linzi soldiers, all he wanted was the position of the Marquis of Qi......"
When Tian Yan heard this, he clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay! You can say that again! This can be done. ”
The secret envoy thought to himself, he only said half of what he said just now, in fact, when the Mo family and the captives were giving lectures, they also insinuated how the Tian clan used the 30,000 Qi heads as a ladder to overthrow Jiang Qi twenty years ago.
After saying this, a strategist said, "Childe, I'm afraid that this matter should not be delayed." If Gongzi Wu returns, the prince will be in a hurry, and it will be difficult to seize power by relying on Gongzi Wu alone, so the monarch is afraid that he will attack you before he dies. ”
"Besides, once Gongzi Wushuai's army returns, then people will be swordsmen and I will be fish and meat, and I can only be slaughtered by others. Don't you hear about the rebellion of the five princes back then? Today's plan is to strike first. ”
"Linzi is in hand, so Gongzi Wu can't make trouble. He returned with the commander of the army, Linzi in hand, we made peace with the Mo family, let go of Changcheng, and let the Mo family come forward to defeat Gongziwu to be invincible. ”
"This matter is not for the murder of the king, but for the punishment of the unjust. Inform the people that the unrighteous monarch will not be punished, the Mo family will not be in harmony, and the captives will not be released. The people of Linzi will inevitably support it. ”
