Chapter 176: Response (I)

Chudu.

The smell of blood left by the previous palace coup has not yet dissipated, and there are a few more heads of people in the market who preach the Mo family's unrighteous Chu Xuanwen.

Some are inkers, some are not inkers at all, but victims of this reactionary coup.

In a sense, the death of the king of Chu and the prince Zang was an inevitability, because it offended almost all the big nobles in the country.

Originally, this kind of change would not be so drastic, for example, the original historical Wu Qi change was also slow and step by step, but the feudal monarchs who migrated to the frontier were really enriched, and in the end, the revenge of the nobles was just to shoot Wu Qi recklessly like a mad dog.

However, some of the doctrines and ruling techniques of Sishang, as well as the spread of simple writing and printing paper, made this change too drastic, and the aristocracy's counterattack was even more ferocious.

The king of Chu was stolen and killed, the nobles launched a coup d'état with the opportunity of mourning, the prince died, and the upstarts of the king of Chu also died.

Prince Zang cried bitterly before he died, or some people thought that he was afraid of death, but he didn't want Wang Zi Zang to say that he only hated his father and was soft-hearted, and he didn't listen to the methods of those people in the Mo family thirty years ago - he didn't hesitate to find an opportunity to execute all the nobles in the civil war - so he was defeated today.

At that time, after the Mo family set up an alliance with the state of Chu because of the battle of Shangqiu, Shi had sent an envoy to the state of Chu, and there was a plan in the secret discussion at that time, saying that it was better to build Yanling as a pilot, train the new army, and find an opportunity to kill all the nobles, so as to completely change the law.

At that time, although the heart of the king of Chu was slightly moved, he was worried that the state of Chu would be chaotic, and at that time, the Sishang Mo family had not yet let the world see that the power could still be operated and more powerful after the centralized power change was made without nobles.

Prince Zang's words before his death made the nobles even more angry.

Prince Liangfu was then elected king, recognized all the privileges of the nobility, and promised that in the future, Yin and Da Sima would be elected from among the nobles.

At that time, everyone knew that Prince Liangfu liked men, but they didn't know that Prince Liangfu took this as his eyes and ears, and he was raising an elite group of dead men as playmates and same-sex partners, and these people also became the main dead soldiers of this palace coup.

And with the help of this opportunity, Wang Ziliangfu arranged some positions for his same-sex partners and playmates, and these same-sex couples did not have fiefdoms, and they all existed with him.

said that it is male, but in fact, it is the ruling team under the guise of male.

In this way, he not only won the position of the king of Chu, but also did not let the nobles crush him to become a puppet, on the contrary, he cultivated a basic plate of his own under the cover of men and occupied several important official positions.

If it goes on normally, it may be another battle between centralization and aristocratic decentralization.

But he didn't want the Mo family to be mad and attack the Chu State recklessly.

At the beginning, the Mo family attacked the Yue Kingdom, and the King of Chu and others thought it was normal.

If the Mo family wants to expand, they must either find a way to expand to the Yue Kingdom, or find a way to conquer it.

This is unquestionable and the most advantageous.

For the Mo family's attack on Chu, the king of Chu never thought about it, and a kind of minister of the Chu state never thought about it.

Taking history as a mirror, the result of the battle of Wu Chu was that Yue Guo took the opportunity to stab in the back.

Wu also had a Jin State as an ally back then.

What does the Mohist have? The diplomatic situation is much more ugly than that of Wu.

Tian Qi behind him has a big enmity with him, Wei Han even hates the Mo family to death, several so-called non-offensive allies are all small countries, and the one who can really be with Si is a Song country, and Lu will definitely turn against the water once he has the opportunity.

Of course, it is also because of the radical ideas of the Mo family that it is impossible for the Mo family to have real allies around the princes.

Even if the Mo family and the Qin State cooperated, and the east and west were stunned to drain the blood of the Wei State, the two sides were still scolding each other all day long, at most they were using each other, and they were far from allies.

If we want to destroy Chu, we must pour out the strength of the whole country. But if the whole country is poured into it, how can those countries such as Wei Hanqi who have been oppressed by the Mo family for a long time not take the opportunity to backstab?

It was because when the Mo family defeated the Yue State Navy Division and announced the punishment of the unrighteous Chu, thinking that the coup d'état of the Chu State was a reactionary rebellion, the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State were stunned.

The Mo family used the attack as a cover, quite a false way to destroy the wisdom of the enemy, the Mo family to have a heart to calculate or not, within the years and months of the Huai River south of the Mo River all returned to the Mo, the front of the army reached the city of Echeng, has arrived at the gate of the Jianghan Plain.

But for such a long time, the ministers of the Chu State were stunned and did not discuss a result.

It is only a relatively wise suggestion, which originated from the new Right Yin, who analyzed the motives of the Mo family with the standard set of power schemes of the nobility under the feudal system, and finally came to the ...... There was civil strife in Sishang.

Right Yin Toutou is an authentic analysis: The Mo family attacks Chu, this is a mortal situation. Moreover, there are still a lot of ink masters in Chudi, and there are even many people with a high reputation.

At this time, it is obvious that this is because the next round of the Mo family's triennial synonymous conference is about to be held, according to Yan Zhishi, he will step down from the position of the giant in eight years at most, so this synonymous conference will definitely elect the next giant.

From this, it can be determined that some ink artists who are active in Chu may be the next ones who should be valued, so the nobles in the Sishang army attacked Chu in order to force the king of Chu to kill the ink in Chu, which is a plan to kill people with a knife.

Therefore, if you want to crack the attack of the Mo family, you should immediately search for all the ink people in the Chu State, make an appointment for a hundred rides, give them pearls and jades, and send them back to Pengcheng safely, and the Mo family will be in chaos!

Because the Mo family's attack was too fast, and because the time was agreed in advance, the official declaration of war in Sishang arrived in Chudu later than the time when the news of the Mo family's attack on Zhongli came.

Right Yin's speculation waited for the exact news from Sishang's side to come, and naturally it was no longer a clever plan. But there were not a few ink artists left in Yingdu this year, and the rest were either hidden in the city or hidden in the wild, even if they wanted to catch it, they had no way to start.

The state of Chu had just been coup d'état, and the capital was unstable, and at this time, the Mo family attacked, which made it even worse.

When the Mo family captured the north bank of the Jiujiang River and was temporarily rested by the rain, the state of Chu reacted...... This time, the Mo family did not go alone as they understood the nobles in the army, but wanted to take advantage of the advantages of water transportation logistics along the river and go straight to the Jianghan and Chu capitals.

At this point, even the most stupid nobles understood the importance of the city of Edi.

But how?

Since the rise of the Mo family in Sishang, they have fought in Yue, Qi, Wei, and Han, and have not tasted defeat. Needless to say, land battles are better than water battles.

It is said that in Poyi, the Mo family gathered more than 50,000 field soldiers, and there is no accurate information on the specific number of Chu people.

Even if there are only more than 50,000 elites in Sishang, the state of Chu needs at least 70,000 or 80,000 field troops to be able to stabilize and build a fortress for a long-term confrontation.

Time waits for no one, within a month, where did the Chu State get seventy or eighty thousand field troops to arrive in Hubei, and there are sufficient civilian logistics?

The autumn rainy period is about to pass, and once the autumn rainy period passes, the Mo family's firearms have a greater advantage and are more difficult to resist.

The king of Chu had the intention of moving the capital and escaping.

The king of Chu believed that if he wanted to defeat the Mo family, it was only possible to drag it out and wait until the countries sent troops.

Moreover, although it is not a problem for the Mo family to attack along the river and supply logistics, it will eventually span thousands of miles, and it may not last long.

If you move the capital to avoid it, you will flee to Nanyang, mobilize local soldiers to defend it, and send envoys to Wei Hanqi and others to conspire with Sishang.

Zuo Sima said: The Mo family is not Wu, there is no crime everywhere he goes, and he is good at winning people's hearts, and the people are ignorant, all of them are from Mo.

Let the Mo family go straight to Jianghan and make another Sishang? A Sishang can't be stopped, and if you give up Jiang Han at this time, you will never want to come back.

The Mohist land reform and equal rights policy is liked by the foolish people, but I am afraid that within a year, 100,000 Jiang and Han troops will go north.

Therefore, moving the capital and escaping and giving up Jianghan is really the next policy.

Although the Mo family has no virtue, it has always been the unity of knowledge and action, saying that one is not the other, saying that if you want to punish injustice, it is absolutely necessary to punish to the end, and I am afraid that the Mo family will not accept it at all.

Zuo Yin said: Jianghan cannot be abandoned, it must be fought in Hubei, build a fortress to defend, and it must be the king's personal conquest.

Mobilize the soldiers and farmers of the Jianghan monarchs to defend in Hubei.

Then he sent people to command the divisions of Fangcheng, Nanyang, Chen Cai, Luyang, and Xu Zhi, captured Xia Cai and Shouchun, and cut off the connection between the main force of the Mo family and Sishang, so that they could not take care of each other.

Send envoys again, begging Wei, Han, Qi and others to send troops, taking advantage of the opportunity of the main force of Sishang in Chu to exterminate the Mo family in one fell swoop.

Right Yin thinks that Left Yin's words are purely whimsical.

The Mo family is good at defending the city, such as Cai Shouchun, if there are few soldiers, it is difficult to capture; If there are many soldiers, it will take at least half a year to assemble. After more than half a year, I am afraid that those people of the Mo family have already preached the righteousness of benefiting the world in Yingdu.

It is better to take this opportunity to enter the troops of Shenxi, Nanyang, Wan, and Li into Jianghan and increase the number of troops to be able to hold it. As for the sneak attack on Sishang, it is better to ask Wei Hanqi to send troops to do it, and you can cut the land as a bribe.

Zuo Sima thinks that Right Yin's words are similar to dream words, it is already September, the autumn rain season has passed, once it passes, the main force of the Mo family will storm Yicheng, will the soldiers of Nanyang fly over to participate in the guard?

In a month at most, maybe even half a month, the Mo family will attack.

Once the city is lost, the land is lost, and the gate of the entire Jianghan is opened, where can the defense be stopped? Defending the capital? Not to mention whether the people are panicked or not, let's just say that with the siege methods of the Mo family, Yingdu will not be able to defend it for a few days, and when the king of Chu and all the ministers will not be caught in the urn, what is the use of the army coming from all walks of life?

Besides, if the army comes to help, how will the grain and grass be prepared? And come in batches, the Mo family is broken, what should I do?

But when asked what to do, Da Sima had no choice, only said that the Mo family's attack was different from the battle of the princes.

The battle of the princes is a big deal to move the capital and flee, and it will be resumed in the future. But wherever the Mo family went, they mobilized the people, established political power, dyed the local area into ink, increased the number of soldiers, food and grass, and abandoned Jianghan, where is there a future?

But if you don't give up Jiang Han, how can you keep it? Even if the news we get now is true, the Mo family has 50,000 main field forces that can attack Edi, how many soldiers are there in Edi now?

The pawns of the Emperor of Ejun and the pawns of Yicheng are counted, but there are only 20,000 pawns in the field and 350 ships and ships. It is necessary for the whole army of the Wang Division to go, so that it can be defended, and it may be possible to increase the troops around.

Then send a major minister to command the troops of Chen Cai Xu Di in Nanyang, Fangcheng, and directly attack the foundation of the Mo family in Sishang, forcing it to return to the reinforcement side.

But relying on the soldiers there alone may not be enough, and now send an envoy to contact Wei Hanqi, I am afraid that when the envoy arrives, Yicheng will already belong to Mo......

The monarch and the ministers deliberated for several days, but there was no effective means of dealing with it.
