Chapter 148: Variables

Seven days after the Battle of Hidden Sun.

The Mochu coalition army broke the promise, the defenders of Xu Zhi fled in despair, and the Mochu coalition army Chen Bing Weishui, with the strength of the division, went straight to Yanling.

At this time, an envoy came from the army.

In the secret room, Chu Da Sima heard the news conveyed by the envoy.

"The king said that Chen Bing Yu Xu must not march into the army, repair the city, and sit and wait for peace talks."

"If the Mo family wants to fight, they are not allowed, and they must not be allowed to fight alone, so as not to counterattack Wei Han. If they go out to fight alone, they will be cut off from food and grass, and they will be forced to retreat. ”

…………

In the camp where the Mo family is stationed alone, they also have to be ordered.

"The central government has an order, and it is eager to fight, and it is necessary to save Zheng and punish injustice, and ask the Chu people to march north to Xinzheng. If they don't obey, it's just a shout. If the Chu people let us fight alone, we will not be able to cover it in the name of no foot soldiers, and we will ask the Chu people to act together. ”

"The whole army is on alert and ready to retreat. If the Chu people turn their faces, they will violate the covenant of the non-offensive alliance and can directly enter the Song Dynasty; If you don't turn your face, it's just a disgrace, once the order is issued, you will immediately retreat south along the sand and water through Yangxia. ”

…………

At the same time, Chuzhi Luyang, Fencheng, Yangxia, Yuguan, Lin; The father of the city of Wei and Han, Xiangcheng, Changshe, Yongqiu, Xiangling, Daliang and other places.

They all received similar orders: assemble the whole army, not to go into battle, and to defend each of them as a deterrent.

…………

Shang Qiu, who was pacing indoors with his hands behind his back, smiling.

In the Battle of Yinyang, the Mochu coalition army won, and the troops reached Xinzheng.

In the battle of Chengyang, the six fingers deterred the Wei army, and even broke the Chengyang Qiu, and the Wei people did not dare to let the Wei army enter the city, and the Wei people fought a decisive battle in the north of Maling, and the Wei people should not.

The situation is very good.

Shi turned around a few times with his hands behind his back and laughed out loud.

In this battle, he didn't expect to gain any practical benefits, it was impossible for the Chu State to continue fighting, and he would definitely choose peace talks, because if he continued to fight, the Mo family would have to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight to become the hegemon.

Wei Chu is not stupid.

This battle is very important for the Mo family.

This is the most critical battle after Shi sits on the throne of the giant: after this battle, the non-offensive faction in Sishang and the faction that still harbors illusions about the princes will completely lose their voices and completely become a supporting role in the political situation in Sishang.

At the upcoming new round of the Mohist Congress, the non-offensive faction and the fantasy army and the covenant faction will usher in the final blow.

The eight words of giving up illusions and preparing to fight are finally no longer just slogans, but the awakening of the nobles and princes after slapping their faces.

Shi controlled the situation and gave the fantasy faction one last chance, but in fact, he dug a deep hole: the army was sent to interfere with Zheng Guo, and the Chu State also cooperated, did the Chu State choose to release a Zheng Guo who implemented the Sishang policy? Will Wei Chuhan recognize the demands of the people of Zheng Guo?

I haven't tried it, how do I know?

By reasoning, sometimes it is not clear, and in that case, let the nobles reason with facts and those fanciful factions.

Previously, he deliberately put forward the result that the fantasy faction wanted most: to conclude an alliance, the Zhuxia League of Nations to replace Zhou Tianzi, all countries to fight against each other, to fight without attack, to reform the system, and to shed blood and not to war.

This is a retreat for a advance, because he knows very well that this thing is simply impossible to achieve.

But what can't be achieved always sounds beautiful and demagogic.

Not only some factions within the Mo family, but even some of the people in the world feel that after becoming a giant, the Mo family has deviated from the righteousness of Mozi, and is warlike, fighting, uncompromising, and not taking a step back.

This is not a big deal for the Mo family, but it is inevitably a little passive in publicity.

Now after this series of events, the Mo family has regained the initiative.

Non-offensive, arm-fighting, League of Nations, international law based on non-offensive and equal statehood regardless of size, public opinion reform, princely aristocracy and Mohist retreat......

Everything was in the propaganda at the beginning of the war.

It's so wonderful, it seems like this.

However, the more beautiful it is, the more fragile it is.

It is appropriate for those who are swingers and feel that the world will be peaceful if they take a step back and compromise: it is not that the Mo family is too radical, but that the nobles and princes are too bastards, and the third army will end without a problem twenty years ago, and the army will also end without a problem twenty years later.

It's not that the Mo family wants to fight, it's not that the Mo family wants to punish the injustice to benefit the world, it's that the princes and nobles don't give them a chance.

You see, the League of Nations, everything is discussed, okay? Countries liberalize tariff flat rates, the same text and the same track, the cheap handicraft products of the Mohists are good for the world, okay? The world is still virtuous, and those who are talented are on the top and those who are not talented are down, okay?

It's all good.

The Mo family wants to do this, but the nobles and princes don't agree, so the Mo family must be blamed.

He paced for a long time, and finally calmed down and wrote a letter to the Central Committee of the Mo family.

The letter made three observations.

Chengyang Liqiu can be returned to Wei as a symbol of sincerity, but if Wei Chuhan cannot meet the requirements of the Mo family's bottom line, he must be prepared to relocate the people, and the people of several cities in the Wei State will voluntarily move away with the Mo family.

Wei Chuhan was required to fulfill his non-offensive duty, withdraw from Zheng State, agree to the reasonable demands of the people of Xinzheng, and distribute the land under contract to the people.

He demanded that Wei Chuhan disarm all countries, and convene the third alliance on the premise of agreeing to disarmament and withdrawing from Zheng State.

The key is to ask the state of Chu to continue to march, go straight to Xinzheng, drive away Wei Han, make Zheng completely neutral, the people elect a new king, formulate new laws, distribute land, and no troops can be stationed in various countries.

And...... The Wei and Han monarchs informed the world to apologize and express their repentance for the unjust war of invading Zheng.

It's certainly impossible, but certainly sounds wonderful.

Therefore, it is necessary to hype up the Mohists' proposals for peace, publicize the Mohists' efforts for peace in the world, praise Wei Chuhan's alliance in the name of maintaining peace in the Central Plains, and take the initiative to ask the Mohists to also participate in the alliance, and turn Weichuhan's anti-Moji alliance into a Mohist-led army fighting meeting.

The Mo family doesn't care, all the conditions proposed by the Mo family, the Mo family can agree: such as the tax on the opening and closing of cards, allowing free mining, allowing people to move freely in Zhuxia, changing the land system, etc., the Mo family can agree, and even many have already done it again.

But would the princes and nobles dare to agree?

The Mohists did not rely on land taxes, and the Mohists had no choice but to turn into a new bourgeoisie, with capital, technology, and stronger industry and commerce than other countries, and countries dared to let go of the shackles of land farmers and mining rights and checkpoint taxes, and the Mohists could make the princes restless.

What do nobles have?

The land system that does not bind the peasants, is there still an aristocracy? There were good aristocrats, but there was no aristocracy that gave up land bondage and feudal obligations...... Because if you give up, you will no longer be an aristocratic class.

After this battle, the strategic intention of the Mo family has been achieved.

The weakening of the Wei state, the Song state became a vassal of the Mo family, and the Zheng state was partitioned, and the contradictions between Wei and Han increased, which induced the Chu state to believe that the strategy of the Mo family was to go north, migrate the people to supplement the Huaibei region, and force the countries to build fortresses to expand their armaments......

Occupying the righteousness of the world and blocking the mouths of those who doubt their illusions and feel that they take a step back and the world is peaceful, it is just a matter of course, and of course it is also very important.

Regarding the outcome of this battle of the Hidden Sun, Shi is very relieved that he will come according to his plan.

Because there is double insurance.

Even if Chu decided to release Zheng Guo as a buffer, there was still a layer of insurance that Zheng Guo must carry out a comprehensive change, with the "Zhuyu" of the princes of Sishang in front, what would become after the comprehensive change The King of Chu would not know, and he would never agree to Zheng Guo's "ink".

Therefore, the state of Chu had to bear this big black cauldron of "treachery, seeking profit if it is not attacked".

Of course, if the State of Chu chooses to negotiate peace with Wei and Han to carve up the State of Zheng in order to guard against the Mo family, then this big black cauldron will have to be carried by the three kingdoms of Wei, Chu and Han together.

In fact, the Mo family, who forced out the whole chaos behind the scenes, will be the most "pure and innocent" white lotus in the chaotic world...... Betrayed by the princes and nobles, he was used as a gun for the sake of non-aggression, and in desperation, he retired from the army in grief and anger, and no longer believed in the innocence and purity of the princes and nobles.

For the Mo family, Zheng Guo is now a place that is not even a chicken rib, if he throws it away, he will throw it away, and he can't keep it if he gets it, so it is better to change the hearts of the people in the world.

As for waiting until the Mo family swept Chu and stormed the countries so that the countries were in turmoil, and then came up with today's words of non-attack...... Times are changing, and of course there is no one in the Mo family who wants to agree.

The last word of the pen fell, and he tapped lightly on the table, considering the biggest variable.

The biggest variable is not the state of Qin, but the state of Zhao.

The Battle of Yinyang announced that Wei was already a foreign power, and it also announced the loss of field mobile forces in the Central Plains of Wei, and the Hexi warriors must move part of their troops to the Central Plains.

The siege of Xinzheng will make Qin even more nervous: if the siege of the world is so difficult in the future, if Wei begins to build fortresses and cities in order to prevent the Mojia from raiding north, then Qin must consider attacking before Wei's defense of the Xihe River is completed.

Coupled with the age of Wu Qisheng and others, the birth of Prince Qin ...... All these problems may allow the Qin State to attack the West River within a few years.

When Qin attacked Hexi, it was the opportunity for the Mo family to enter Chu.

Qin attacked the West River, and Wei and Han were unable to attack Sishang.

The defense line of Heshui and Jishui in Sishang is basically completed, and more troops can be used to attack Chu.

The canal in Wuling was basically completed.

Qin's attack on the West River was unable to attack Hanzhong, and the army of Southern Zheng in Hanzhong could go down the river and attack Xiangyang.

The age of the king of Chu has also arrived, as long as he dies, the country of Chu will be in chaos.

Wei Han is powerless to intervene, the Qin people will not intervene, and it is difficult for Qi to intervene and there is no threat, it is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, the Qin State is too far away from Sishang, and when something happens, it is the heart that the troops will not be able to reach the Central Plains, but the Zhao State, which has been silent for several years, cannot but consider it.

Zhao Guo's attitude.

Is it to take advantage of the chaos in Wei to ask for Wei's life and cooperate with Qin to divide the Wei State? Or did he give up his own interests to help Wei Fang Qin?

It is difficult to say at this point that this will be the focus of Mohist diplomacy in the coming years.

For the Mo family, how Zhao Guo chooses is actually similar, and the Gaoliu region is an abandoned son who can be for the final victory.

But it was different for the state of Chu.

The Mo family needs strategic deception, and it is necessary to continue to make the Chu state think that the strategic direction of the Mo family is north.

The relationship between Zhao and Wei, after experiencing the battle of Zhao's inheritance, is difficult to sincerely ally again.

A few years later in history, Zhao State engaged in Wei State once, as the so-called monarch must end with this, Wei State participated in the battle for the inheritance of Zhao State, and Zhao Han also participated in the battle for the inheritance of Wei State in the year when Wei was killed in history.

South Korea was more conservative and hoped to divide Wei into two as a buffer, because South Korea was sure that it would not be able to defeat Zhao; The state of Zhao hoped to directly abolish the king of Wei Hui, establish a new monarch, cut the land, make a vassal, and encroach on the Wei state.

Now the situation is more complicated.

There was a problem with the strategic direction of the Zhao State.

If the Three Jin Alliance is reached, Zhao State cannot go south, and the capital is always under the threat of Wei State, and the direction of use of troops can only be everywhere.

Capturing Liuyunzhong means a complete break with the Mo family, and the Wei State has to be scared to death, because Sishang may not be able to support Yunzhong but can take Wei as a hostage: Zhao State and Mo Family Sishang are indeed separated by Wei State, the existence of the Three Jin Alliance, Zhao State attacks Mo, the Mo family will definitely gnaw Wei, Wei State will not agree, then the Three Jin Alliance is equivalent to collapse, and Zhao State does not dare to attack the Mo family alone.

Attacking Zhongshan, this is the best choice after the Mo family blocked Zhao's northward movement and used border trade to provide Zhao with a steady stream of taxes, and this matter depends on the follow-up of the Battle of Yinyang. If the Mo family was "betrayed" by the princes and nobles, and never mentioned the non-attack and killing of the army in grief and anger, it would definitely be the best choice.

Attacking Qi, you have to consider the attitude of the Mo family, Wei Zhao joined forces to attack Qi and threaten the flank of Sishang, and the Mo family will definitely not agree.

Attacking Yan, this is also a good choice, but it is worse than attacking Zhongshan, Zhongshan is sandwiched between Zhao Yan, it is best to destroy Zhongshan first and then seek Qi Yan.

On the other hand, if Zhao was not prepared to form a three-Jin alliance and attack Wei, there would be advantages and disadvantages.

Li, and Qin attacked Wei, Gongwei Handan, and obtained Hebei, and the situation of Zhao was much better.

Disadvantages, if the Wei State is finished, the Zhao State will have to face the threat of Qin, Mo, and Chu, and there is a lack of allies.

Of course, the best case scenario is that Qin will get the West River and Zhao will go to Hebei, and after weakening the Wei State, the Three Jin Alliance will be formed, then this Three Jin Alliance will be dominated by Zhao. Because there is a common threat to deal with Qin and Mo, who are in the middle of the attack, the Three Jin Alliance is more likely.
