Chapter 200: The Capture of the Army (Part II)

Trapped here, Tian Wu was still thinking about these intrigues in the court.

Because of his father's letter, there is only one solution to solve the matter of the Mo family's unjust order: let Tian Wu go back to succeed to the throne quickly, Tian He is about to give up the position of the prince, anyway, the heart is painful and difficult to treat, the only person who can heal Changsang Jun and his disciples are in the Sishang Mo family, and his life is not long.

In this case, it is better to consider the family inheritance and let the son succeed to the throne.

Tian Wu understood what his father meant.

Tian Wu is now a son, and the son can be killed, but the monarch cannot.

The monarch can be killed, he can die in battle, but he can't be judged by a person like the son of a shoemaker who is not the overlord and does not have the authorization of Zhou Tianzi, that is a declaration of war against the order of the world, and it is also the only way to implore Zhou Tianzi to come forward and suppress the Mo family.

Zhou Tianzi is a shit now, no prince takes him seriously, but he can still be pulled out when needed.

The monarch made a mistake and could not kill, but could only kill the people around him instead.

De jure, the only person who is qualified to kill the marquis after the trial, especially the Qi Marquis who has the right to conquer, is Zhou Tianzi. Zhou Tianzi cooked the Marquis of Qi, and the Qi people only dared to vent their anger on the small country that entered the speech.

Back then, Wei Hou made a mistake and was tried by Jin Wengong, his defense was cut down, and his stand-in was killed, but Wei Hou was safe and sound, Tian He felt that the Mo family would not even completely break this rule.

Judging the king of a princely country and then killing him is equivalent to the Mo family announcing to the world: I want the son of heaven.

This is much more serious than Zheng Bo's shot, King Chu's question, and Jin Wen's invitation.

But the key is, how do you get back?

If you go back alone, it will definitely not work, the Linzi army is outside, he will go back alone, his cousin's power is very great, and it will be easy to kill him when the time comes.

Righteousness and killing relatives is for great virtue. At that time, if the cousin is really on the throne, he can endure the pain and destroy his relatives, and hand him over to the Mo family, it is not certain: brotherhood? Respect and Inferiority Order? After Tian He's exile of Jiang Qi, Gongsun Sun was killed in civil strife, and Xiang Ziniu's mutiny was exterminated, no one in Qi valued these things anymore.

Earlier, starting from the dispute between the sons of Qi Huan and the times, the nobles had already broken the rules of etiquette and silent warmth that could best protect themselves.

Tian Wu understood that if he wanted to live, he had to go back, and he had to bring a certain number of elite soldiers back.

After going back, without saying a word, kill my cousin in a coup d'Γ©tat first, so that nothing goes wrong.

It's best to do it at a banquet where your cousin welcomes you back, and it may change if you drag it on.

Things have developed to this point, Tian Wu can only ask Tian Qing for help again, but it is difficult to convince Tian Qing.

He Tian Wu can go back to the coup d'Γ©tat and succeed to the throne, so as to force the Mo family not to dare to carry out the death penalty, but what should Tian Qing do?

When the time comes, there must be someone responsible for the slaughter of Wucheng, who will be responsible? Who is responsible?

If Tian Wu does not die, the Mo family will definitely catch a scapegoat, a scapegoat with sufficient weight to give an explanation to the world.

It is impossible for the two sins on the edict of injustice to not die.

Tian Qing has no other way, the only way is to defeat the main force of the Mo family, or delay until the situation in the world takes a turn for the better: for example, the Wei and Han coalition forces intervene in Sishang, which may be the only way out for him to survive.

When the two of them were in Wucheng, their interests were the same: if Tian Wu could take the position, Tian Qing would have to be reused, and the two sides hit it off.

But now, in the face of life and death, the interests of the two have diverged.

Tian Wu is still young, and Tian Qing has been immersed in aristocratic conspiracies for so long, it is impossible not to even see this problem.

Tian Qing wanted to drag. dragged until the world changed, dragged until next year, dragged until the Mo family had to withdraw the army.

Tian Wu wants to go back, he can't wait for a moment, don't say next year, even winter is impossible.

He won't go, Tian Yan is on the throne, righteousness is in hand, the Linzi army takes care of his family in Linzi, and it is impossible to listen to his command anymore: the hundred-mile land that is now trapped is not his fiefdom, and he has no basic plate.

The two of them have their own ghosts, but on the surface, it is impossible to say it so thoroughly, and they must use some high-sounding reasons to find a suitable excuse for their own route.

In the military tent, the generals stood around, and the commander Tian Qing looked like a country and explained: "Son, it's not that I don't worry about the monarch, it's that I don't worry about state affairs. Those who know me say that I am troubled; He who does not know me shall say that I want? What worries me is the monarch and the Tian clan. ”

"If you win the Yi Laiwu, the best at defending the city, but not attacking, the army is under the fortified city, and the Mo army will come out from Liang's father, and our army will be defeated."

"Now the Mo family has broken the Great Wall, has won the city of Lu, and the soldiers are coming. From the calendar to Linzi, there is no danger to defend, all are good fields, the reason why the Yan Zhishi did not capture Linzi is because the tens of thousands of troops in the hands of Gongzi and Qing are here. ”

"If the army is annihilated and Linzi City is there, who will be able to defend it?"

This is the reason he said, and this reason is indeed irrefutable.

Tian Wu originally wanted to talk to Tian Qing about this matter, but Tian Qing was keenly aware of the danger, and turned the secret meeting into an "enlarged meeting", convened all the generals, and made the matter public in front of everyone.

The generals are not mediocre people, Tian Qing's words are reasonable, they naturally agree with Tian Qing's ideas, and it is true.

Fight Laiwu, the generals don't have the guts, when Niu Qi fought Wei Gongzi so well, he still didn't beat down thousands of Niu Qi, and now the Mo family is tens of thousands, how to fight Laiwu?

When the time comes, Laiwu can't be beaten, the back road is copied again, the army is annihilated, and Linzi is still guarding a fart? Now the Mo family doesn't fight Linzi, isn't it because these tens of thousands of mobile corps are still there, and they don't dare to risk being copied from the back road to attack Linzi?

What Tian Qing wants is to be upright, and what he wants is for everyone to participate in order to suppress Gongziwu's thoughts.

This is all reasonable, in front of everyone, those conspiracies and intrigues of the aristocratic court are not easy to say, Tian Qing is to let everyone force Tian Wu to agree to his strategy of staying here and waiting for the countries to mediate changes in the world.

Tian Wu was still young, and he was far inferior to Tian Qing when it came to politics, so he was caught off guard by this "enlarged meeting."

But he immediately retorted: "So what about the public opinion? If you don't fight Laiwu, do you have to wait here? ”

"The grain and grass promised by the Lu people have not arrived for a long time, and the urging in the three is just prevarication."

"The Judi army does not dare to move lightly, the Mojia Xiliu has landed and stationed in Jiaodong, and can enter the Great Wall from Langya at any time."

"The army of Gongzao and Metallurgy is in Ludi, and the mob of Fei has joined the army, there are tens of thousands, no less than the front of the thieves back then, this place is a dead place, and it cannot be stayed for a long time."

Tian Wu snorted: "Definitely." There are still 100 miles here, in the past, Shangtang decided the world with 100 miles, Gou Jian took 100 miles and regained the strong Yue, and the city of 100 miles can also protect the Sheji. ”

"Strictly order the collection of grain, no buying, selling, no concealment, as long as it is harvested in the autumn, it can be supported."

"If the Mo family attacks, we will defend it. Although the Mo family is strong, it cannot last, and when the Wei and Han armies arrive, the Mo family will retreat. ”

Tian Wu sneered: "Where is the Wei Han army?" What if the Wei and Han armies don't arrive? ”

"The Mo family's ability to govern, you don't know it! Now the north of Wenshui is 'land reform', less than a year, from Xue Ling to Liang's father, the city of 500 miles, 200,000 people, all belong to the Mo family. ”

"The Mo family relies on Si Shang and can raise seven divisions. If you get Wenshui and Jishui in a rich land, how many divisions can you pull up? How will we fight then? ”

"The meticulous work of yesterday's killing has spread a lot of 'land reform' in Wenshui and Jishui, and the army's morale is floating. Many soldiers were captured in the battle of the last year, and they had no hatred for the Mo family, so if they delayed, how could they fight? ”

"The army went out, parents and wives were in Linzi, and the army was thinking about returning, and there were many people who sang "Picking Rose". The heart of the soldier is only afraid that he would rather die on the way home than wait here any longer! ”

Speaking of this, Tian Wu was even more angry and said angrily: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different!" Wei Han's surname, not Chen, if they are really credible, what were the Wei and Han coalition forces in Chengyang doing during the Jishui War? Now that the Mo family occupies more than 20 cities and the troops are scattered, can the Wei and Han coalition forces move? ”

"If you don't return to Linzi, if Wei Han doesn't move, the Mo family soldiers arrive in Linzi, Linzi suffers from the war, and the parents and wives in the army suffer from the disaster of soldiers, is it bearable?"

Seeing this, Tian Qing sneered and asked, "Childe's words are commendable. How could I ever say I didn't want to go back to Linzi? ”

"But, Childe has said so much, I just ask, how can I go back?"

"I said that I couldn't fight Laiwu because Laiwu was the only way to return to Linzi. If Gongzi has a way, he can return to Linzi without beating Laiwu, won't I listen? ”

"You said so much, but you didn't mention a word about military strategy. I only ask you, how do you get back to Linzi? What's going on? ”

Tian Wu wanted to change the ulterior differences between him and Tian Qing in front of everyone to "Tian Qing doesn't want to return to Linzi", and when the time comes, the military will float and make a difference.

But Tian Qing has been immersed in conspiracy for many years, and it is the old nobleman who has received the most orthodox aristocratic education The secret of the nobility - the nobleman who does not know how to engage in conspiracy is not a qualified nobleman, and the stupid and sweet noble family under artificial selection died as early as the Spring and Autumn Period - immediately keenly aware of Tian Wu's sinister intentions, and immediately refuted.

The key to his rebuttal is: It's not that I don't want to go back to Linzi, but it is precisely because I want to go back to Linzi that I stare at Laiwu. But Laiwu can't fight, and if we do, the Mo family may encircle us, so what I'm against is only fighting Laiwu.

If you Tian Wu have any way to bring the army back without fighting Laiwu, of course I am willing. But you can't say that I don't want to go back to Linzi, let alone try to make the sergeants resent me.

Tian Wu was young after all, and he was speechless for a while, but Tian Qing caught the flaw and attacked violently, but he couldn't resist it for a while.

When he had a secret talk with Tian Qing, but was told by Tian Qing that this matter was related to the public discussion between the society and the people, he knew that he could not talk about moving Tian Qing.

The reason why he said those words was exactly what Tian Qing had guessed, he wanted the news to get out, causing the army's morale to fluctuate, so as to prepare for one thing.

It's just that he didn't expect Tian Qingyuan to be keener than he thought, and immediately showed that he didn't want to return to Linzi, which was a little difficult to do.

Before that, the idea given to him by the strategists around Tian Wu was like this.

If you can say that Tian Qing is moving, then you can say moving.

If he said that he would not move, he would use the soldiers' hearts to return to their hometowns and relatives, incite mutiny, seize the tiger talisman, assassinate Tian Qing, and seize military power.

Then attack Laiwu with the main force, send them to death in the name of returning home, and attract the attention of the Mo family. He led his cronies, more than 10,000 elite light soldiers, abandoned the army to protect the commander, went to Yimeng Mountain and Judi's soldiers, rushed straight to Linzi, killed Tian Yan, and forced Tian He to make plans after taking the position.

Is it mediation? Is it stubborn? Is it to open the treasury to buy people's hearts to protect Linzi? Or is it retreating to Jiaodong to force the situation in the world to change?

This is all something to think about later, because if you don't bring the elite back to Linzi, there will be nothing, and you don't have to think about it at all, it's better to think about sleeping a few more women before you die, eating a few more bites of venison, eating something, eating something, drinking something, drinking something, and then waiting to be shot.

This plan is very much in line with Tian Wu's mind.

The most unfortunate, retreating to Jiaodong, forcing the world to change: the princes of the Central Plains did not allow the existence of the Mo family, which occupied most of the Qi State and was aggressive and shocked by land reform, and the most unfortunate retreat to Jiaodong could always allow the princes to send troops to intervene.

But retreating to Jiaodong can only make sense if he Tian Wu retreats for Qi Hou, otherwise if he changes to someone else, he will still be a dead end.

Tian Wu thought to himself, if he could force the princes to send troops to intervene at that time, it would be a big deal that he would not accept concubines with foreign surnames, not go out of the palace for half a step, and guard layer by layer, and the Mo family assassins would not be able to punish them if they wanted to be unjust.
