Lu Hou knew that he was good at speaking, and he knew that the Mojia was cautious and logical in his speech, and he was really tight.

Li Jian said that the Mo family has not yet investigated Lu Hou for the crime of betraying the alliance, and this time the fight against the Qi State is not to pull up those nominal princes in Sishang, in the name of the non-offensive alliance, but with the Mo family's own strength, then it may be really as Li Jian said, as long as he insists that letting the Qi country cross the border is not against the rules of the non-offensive alliance, then the Mo family will not be investigated.

Because Lu joined the non-offensive alliance, and when the original oath was made, it did not say that it must be in accordance with the righteousness of the Mo family as rules and standards, so it is just a simple military alliance rather than an ideological alliance, as long as the Lu State does not recognize that "the power of the country is in the people", then the Mo family will not come to trouble Lu unless they want to be enemies of the whole world.

Fei Guo's affairs also gave Lu Hou enough fright.

For example, today, there are too many ambitious people, people's hearts are not ancient, etiquette is broken, and there are many people who say that they benefit the world and seek personal interests.

The Hua governor of the Song State that Li Jian said was exactly what Lu Hou was worried about. Huadu's matter is an old thing, but looking at Fei Guo, Zheyangzi, who killed Fei Jun, shouted in his mouth to punish the unrighteous king for the benefit of the people, did he really think so in his heart?

Fei Guo can have such a figure, why can't Lu Guo have it?

It was these words of the plough that strengthened Lu Hou's mind. Although Lu Hou doesn't like the righteousness of the Mo family very much, at least the Mo family is a group of reasonable people, and they will never attack the Lu State for no reason like Qi and Yue, at least now.

After thinking about it again, he was a little worried about the oppression of the Qi army near Qufu, so he said: "The Qi army must be in a hurry." He could not let the Qi army go up and down Surabaya, and he would return to fight a decisive battle without attacking Linzi. ”

"Tomorrow, when the Qi envoy comes again, the king can first ask Ren Yin to talk to him, only saying that there is not enough food and grass now, so he can only borrow some, and he can also make more preparations, so that the Qi army can wait for a few days to carry it."

"If the Qi people are in a hurry to return, they will not wait. The Qi people thought that we were afraid that they would be stationed near Qufu, but we invited them to wait and wait, but they would be at a loss. ”

"As I said that day, far water cannot save near fire. If the Qi people readily agreed, then even though the Mo family might win, they would have to agree to the conditions of the Qi people at this moment. ”

"You can't come forward in this matter, I'll talk about it."

Lu Hou nodded in agreement.

The next day, the envoy of Qi came again, and the plough made an appointment with the envoy of Qi to talk, saying that the grain and grass were insufficient, and preparations for transportation were still needed, so it was better to let the army of Qi continue to camp here and wait for a few days.

He thought that he was advancing and retreating, but the envoy of Qi really refused, obviously very impatient, and he had a plan in his heart.

In the evening of this day, several fast horses galloped to Qufu, it was the envoy sent by the Mo family, this time the envoy of the Mo family was extremely harsh, especially about the slaughter of Wucheng.

Lu Hou saw that the Mo family only mentioned the betrayal of the alliance, but took the matter of the slaughter of Wucheng and asked, his heart was at ease, and he said in his heart: "King Xiwen has four friends, and I have a plowshare, so I should be worry-free!" ”

Then let the plough and the Mo family be responsible for negotiations, and soon Meng Sheng's army arrived in Qufu, and the Qi army left, not daring to stay.

…………

Pingyin.

Shi Zi broke through Pingyin, and has been paying attention to the movements of Qi State, as well as the situation between Wei Zhao, Wei Chu, and Wei Zhongshan.

Judging from the current situation, this battle can be fought for a longer time, and Wei is no longer powerless to interfere.

After the Battle of Nanjishui, the Mo family had already sent people to Chengyang, and the doctors of Chengyang were struggling, and the Mo family sent people to Anyi in the starry night.

Now that Wei is besieging Handan, Chen Caidi and Chu are fighting, Zhongshan Jun is a general, and there are businessmen who are sponsoring, so Wei Gongzi Zhi cannot hold on to a few cities and it is difficult to attack.

After the First Battle of Nanjishui, it was appropriate to understand that as long as Gongzaoye sent troops into Lu, then Sanqiu, Kangfu and other places that still belonged to Lu could be unimpeded.

There is Heshui, which was dug by the husband in the past, and it connects Onozawa with Jishui and Surabaya, which makes it extremely convenient for the Mo family to rely on ships to transport grain.

Combined with the supply depots and Yoshikura that had already been prepared, the army he led could at least support a protracted standoff.

After the 50,000 captives of the Qi State who were captured were educated, they selected some trustworthy ones and formed a security army to maintain order in the city.

The nobles and doctors fled one after another, so that from Onozawa along Jishui to Pingyin, the Qi State completely lost its organizational ability.

What he is worried about now is the Linzi Army led by Tian Qing, the last mobile field force of the Qi State.

After the Battle of Nanjishui, the scouts have been keeping an eye on the movements of Tian Qing's army and reporting back every day.

After Shi attacked Pingyin, there were two choices.

Either immediately give up the heavy copper artillery, the whole army is lightly armed, gallop to Mount Tai, Liangfu Mountain, and Yishan, and set up an ambush in the valley similar to the Battle of Kun.

Either the army should carry all the equipment, slowly confront each other, rely on policies such as land reform to appease the people, and take advantage of the external situation that Wei could not interfere in, forcing Tian Qing to take the initiative to attack, thus exposing flaws.

Judging from the news from the scouts, Tian Qing's army moved slowly and was not in a hurry to return to Linzi.

The mind is set, and he must also be foolproof.

According to common sense, Tian Qing's army should not choose to return to Linzi via Yishan, one is that the road is steep and the supply is insufficient, and the other is that the Gongzao Metallurgical Army is behind, if it is sent to attack and disturb with light cavalry, it will greatly slow down the speed of the march.

It's very unlikely, but after all, you have to be prepared for both.

So he sent the main force to pass through Pingyin to Mount Tai first, and then went out to the shore of Wenshui to capture the city on the north side of Wenshui.

And let that main force take the lead in Yingyi, that is, Laiwu in later generations.

As long as Laiwu is breached, the Qi army will be stuck on the way back to Linzi. To the east is Yishan, northwest is the Tailai Mountains, as long as Laiwu is in hand, the main force of Qi will not be able to return to Linzi.

And he led about 15,000 people, climbed over the Great Wall of Qi, and captured Lucheng along Jishui.

Lucheng is about the Changqing District of Jinan in the later generations, very close to Pingyin, but Pingyin is the border of the Great Wall of Qi, and Lucheng is just a big town within the Great Wall.

In the battle of Pingyin, the State of Qi naturally knew the importance of Pingyin, and a large number of soldiers in Lucheng were also annihilated in Pingyin, so Lucheng had nothing to defend and could be taken down in an instant.

So far, the main force of the righteous division is only more than 200 miles away from Linzi, and there is no danger to defend during the period.

The passage to march into Linzi has been completely opened, and now no matter what decision Tian Qing makes, he is already in a passive position: if the Mo family wants to fight Linzi, they can divide a few troops in Laiwu and make peace with Gongzaoye; If you don't want to fight Linzi, you can also hold Pingyin, so that the army can gather on the front line of Wenshui, wait for the outbreak of civil strife in Qi, and force Tianqing to take the initiative to attack.

After entering Lucheng, the people did not panic, and the market went as usual, obviously having heard about the Mo family's actions in Jishui.

In the courtyard of a nobleman in the city, it was the field hospital of the Mo family's righteous master, and there were several large cauldrons boiling outside, and water was boiling inside, and white cotton cloth was churning and boiling in the water to disinfect it.

On the long bamboo poles, there are rows of strips of cloth that are being dried.

Lime was sprinkled everywhere in the courtyard, and a strong smell of wine wafted into the distance.

There are often bursts of crying inside, mixed with Qiyu, Sishang and other local dialects, which sounds miserable.

In front of a hospital bed, two strong men in the army crushed a man with a wounded leg, a wooden stick in his mouth, like a horse's chew.

The man let out a whining sound, his eyes widened, and he looked in horror at a saw in the hand of a man wearing a white witch suit and a mask from the Mo family.

The man's leg was already a little ulcerated, and foul-smelling pus was pouring out.

The person holding the saw in his hand was the Qin Yue people who followed the expedition this time and was responsible for the treatment of the wounded, disease prevention and epidemic prevention here.

Qin Yue people are also Qi people, grew up in Lucheng, Bian Que is the name given to him by the people of the world after he became famous, in fact, just like the names of Xiao Li Guang and Sai Rengui in later legends, Bian Que is a famous doctor in ancient times at this time, and everyone called it Bian Que.

Now Changsangjun is old, in the past ten years in Sishang, Qin Yue people have learned most of Changsangjun's skills, and there are some theories suitable for the rest of the era, and there are many surgeries for the wounded, Qin Yue people's medical skills are better than before.

Now he was holding a saw, and behind him stood several young ink men dressed in the same witch costumes as him, close together.

Qin Yueren took a deep breath and nodded at the strong man next to him who was pressing the legs of the injured man, the two strong men were familiar with the road, and they knew that the person would not be able to hold it down soon, so he increased his strength.

Qin Yueren stared at the wounded man's wound, chose the position of the saw, and after carefully cleaning it with spirits, he put the saw on the man's leg bone.

The sound of creaking sawing bones kept coming out, and the young ink artists who were watching and studying next to them didn't dare to look at it with cold sweat on their heads, but Qin Yue was already normal.

The injured man who was held down could no longer hold on, and finally fainted after sweating profusely.

In the toolbox next to it, there are the most advanced surgical tools at this time: saws, chisels, knives, large needles, twine......

After being busy for a long time, he finally sawed off this person's leg and stopped the bleeding, and Qin Yueren wiped his sweat.

After taking a few sips of water, he turned around and said to the disciples who were studying and observing, "If you have to do this, you can't do this." It's just that if he doesn't do anything about his injuries, he will definitely die. Now that I have sawed off my leg, I only have five or five survivors, but it is better than festering and dying. ”

Many of the disciples who had watched this kind of thing up close for the first time turned pale, and Qin Yueren sighed and said, "The person I rescued just now is the Qi people who are guarding the city. I know him, and he knows me, and I was a neighbor of him when I was in Lucheng many years ago. ”

"Our Mohists say that everyone is equal. We who are doctors should understand this truth better than others. Under birth, old age, sickness and death, who can escape? The princes, nobles, and commoners are all equal. ”

"I heard a few days ago that because of the massacre of Wucheng, many people think that it is not right to treat these Qi people who defend the city and fight to the death."

"I don't have to say too many truths, I just say that if you want to be a healer, you must have a benevolent heart, and in the eyes of the healer, everyone is equal. If you are blinded by hatred, you cannot be a healer. ”

"Besides, there are many people in the world who say that all of us in the Mo family have no kings and no fathers, and they are inferior to beasts. Look at us according to their righteousness, we are beasts. Let our righteousness look at the man who ordered the slaughter of the city, and he is inferior to the beast in our righteousness. ”

"Animals eat man, and man can eat beasts. But we must not eat people because they eat people. Have you made a note of it? ”

All the disciples nodded, and when Qin Yue was about to go back and tidy up, one of them hurriedly came to report, saying that there was an urgent matter for him to go.

When he went out, Qin Yue asked why he was in such a hurry? The man whispered: "There is news from Si, the bird has suddenly become seriously ill, and Changsangjun is too old to do it himself, please return to Pengcheng as soon as possible." ”

Qin Yue was stunned, knowing that this was a big deal, Chang Sangjun was already old and could not deal with some illnesses personally, and before he went out with the army this time, he was still healthy.

But after all, Yu Huali and Mozi are also teachers and friends, the age difference between the two is not much, but it is normal for the disease to break out after this old age, and no one can escape.

sighed, thinking that some of the Mo disciples that Chang Sangjun had received before were now able to preside over the illness in the army, so he didn't think much about the consequences of this major event that would cause a shock within the Mo family and even in the world, and hurriedly returned to the tent to prepare to return to Pengcheng in the starry night.
