Chapter 240: Drawing a Gourd in the Same Way as Zen Again (6)
After a fierce battle for a day and a night, it actually made the head of the Mo family hidden in the city look anxious.
This coup d'Γ©tat was undisciplined, and several dangerous places were not quickly captured, and as the most advantageous artillery for internal operations in the city, no one took the initiative to fight for it, and it still relied on a group of armor soldiers as the leader and the people as disciples, and the level of this coup d'Γ©tat was really a bit low.
The leader of the Mo family in the city couldn't stand it anymore, so he took people early in the morning and began to organize two spontaneous "uprisings" and broke through several key points.
and let the artillery, which was basically secretly controlled by the Mo family, immediately come forward to support the attack on the palace, and some Mo people also blended into the crowd and became part of the leaders, secretly cooperating with Tian Yan's coup d'Γ©tat according to the orders of the Mo family.
Now that the west gate has finally been occupied, the palace wall where Tian He lives can be completely exposed to the muzzle, which can be regarded as the overall situation.
Tian He is now trapped in the palace, although there are many armor, but there is no artillery, although the city wall is high, but because it is adjacent to the south wall of the main city, the southwest gate as a commanding height can be set up with artillery to bombard the palace wall.
The Mo family mixed in with the crowd and organized the people to pile up construction to approach the walls of the palace, shouting for the armor soldiers in the palace and the soldiers defending the city to surrender.
The west gate and south gate of the main city close to the palace have been occupied, and the failure of the palace is a foregone conclusion, but Tian He doesn't want to give up, he still wants to continue to support it.
He felt that as long as he supported it for a few more days and Tian Wu returned with his troops, then everything was unknown.
Outside the palace, Tian Yan received a piece of news that he didn't know whether it was good or bad.
Several nobles who had fled back from Yishui brought news from Yishui.
Gongzi Wu suddenly fled and disappeared.
The 8,000 Qi army had no commander and could not break through the dead defense of the 1st Brigade of the Righteous Division, and after half a hard battle, they collapsed and fled in all directions.
Tian Yan, who felt that he had already won the battle, naturally did not know that Tian Wu was preparing to flee to North Korea incognito, but he felt that this matter was really strange, and he felt that the strength of the Mo family's combat power was really not something he could resist.
He asked the counselor, "What does it mean that he is missing?" Did you first abscond back to Linzi to wait for the opportunity? β
The strategists couldn't figure this out clearly, let alone that an accidental death shock broke Tian Wu's psychological defense, making him completely panic and give up his dream of a coup d'Γ©tat.
After a while, a strategist laughed and said, "This is a good thing. Childe, the big thing is decided. β
Tian Yan was puzzled and asked, "His whereabouts are unknown, how can it be said that the big thing is decided?" β
The strategist said: "Where Gongzi noon is located, there are nothing more than three. β
"First, escape into Linzi, or hide in the palace. However, now that the overall situation of Linzi has been decided, once the palace is broken, can Gongziwu still survive? β
"Second, sneak back to the fiefdom and raise troops to make trouble, but the Mo family's army is outside, and the son succeeds to the throne and makes peace with the Mo family, so he can definitely use troops to quell the rebellion. The Mo family in Linzi City can still be attacked, but what about those small cities? β
"Third, fleeing the country. However, Wei Han was powerless, and the Mo family gave an unrighteous order, how could Wei Hou dare to take him in? If he dares to take him in, the Mo family will join forces with Chu, Zhao, and Zhongshan to attack Wei, how dare the Marquis of Wei? β
"The king of Chu and Wei are at war, Wei and the Mo family are secretly making peace, if the king of Chu takes him in, the Wei state will invite the Mo family to join the alliance, and the Chu people dare not stay."
"As for Zhao, the defense of Handan City depends on the strength of the Mo family, and Gongzi Zhang will not want to stay."
"Died in Yan, Yan Xiaoguo also, the west is afraid of Zhao and Zhongshan, and the south is afraid of Qi, since the son is the Marquis of Qi, how dare Yan Hou take it in?"
"As for the Song family, the Mo family is deeply powerful, not to mention it. It is difficult for Zheng people to protect themselves, and they dare not stay. Or died in Qin, but died in Qin, Qin was in Xirong, thousands of miles away, even if he was taken in, he had no power to seize the throne. β
"That's why I said, it's a big deal."
Tian Yan listened to this analysis, nodded yes, but said: "But if he hides in the market, he will wait for the story of Yigong in the future......"
There are too many samples of the coup d'Γ©tat in Qi State, so there are many experiences to learn from, and what Tian Yan is worried about is not unreasonable.
At that time, Duke Yi endured for many years, waited for 30 years, and finally survived his brother, and then suddenly made trouble at his brother's funeral, killed his nephew, and succeeded in ascending to the throne.
Under the aristocratic politics, the bloodline itself has a certain appeal, and Tian Wu has a strong claim and inheritance right, if he really survives himself, suddenly shows up at the funeral, and secretly befriends those nobles who are originally his faction, he must not be guarded against.
When the advisor heard this, he laughed and said, "Childe Miao, if Childe is hidden in the market, then he is already dead." How can a dead man take the throne again? β
Tian Yan gritted his teeth and said: "Qi is thousands of miles and one hundred and twenty cities, if he is hidden, where can I find it?" If you can't find him, how can you kill him? β
The strategist smiled: "Childe, the Mo family said that unless you kill him, you won't negotiate peace." He also said that Tian Wu would be judged, so that there would be no more massacre of the city in Kyushu, and it would be a ...... to slaughter the city."
It's okay not to say this, but as soon as he said this, Tian Yan said impatiently: "That's what I said!" If he hides it, the Mo family asks me for someone, where can I give it? If I don't give it, the Mo family will suspect that I am hiding Tian Wu, and I am afraid that the peace agreement will be harsh, and even force me to agree to the Mo family to go back and forth freely in Qi to find Tian Wu......"
The strategist shook his head and said, "Childe, do you have a personal enmity with the Mo family?" β
Tian Yan shook his head and said, "There is no personal vendetta. There is only righteous resentment. β
The strategist said: "That is the case, Gongzi Wu is not important to the Mo family, but the person who ordered the slaughter of the city is very important to the Mo family. Does the Mo family care if it's a real Gongzi Wu or a fake Gongzi Wu? β
"What the Mo family cares about is only the Gongzi Wu who ordered the slaughter of the city, not the Gongzi Wu who is your brother."
Just this sentence finally woke up Tian Yan.
Tian Yanxi said: "You mean...... Find someone who looks similar and give it to the Mo family? Let the Mo family judge him in front of the princes and put him to death? So, any person who claims to be Gongzi Wu, after being executed, is fake, not real? β
The strategist nodded and said, "The Mo family is worth this great victory, and the princes dare not take advantage of it. At that time, Gongzi Wu will be executed and sued to the world. β
"If Gongzi Wu is still here, then he will not dare to come forward when he hears this news. The Mo family is not afraid of anything, that is, he hides in the market, as long as he shows his traces, there are many rangers in the market, and there are many people who want to follow the assassins, such a good opportunity to become famous in the world, don't they cherish it? β
"In the market, there are many people who want to be famous with a stab. Regardless of whether it is true or not, as long as someone dares to call himself Gongziwu, he will die. β
"Gongziwu didn't dare to show up in the market, so a few decades later, when Gongzi is old, he will come out, what will the people of Linzi think? When the Mo family does things, it must be reported publicly, and the crime of Gongziwu spreads all over the world, how can he be a Hou? β
"That's why I said, it's a big deal."
Tian Yan finally understood the truth, and laughed: "That's the truth." Use the sword of the Mo family to kill Tian Wu, whether it is true or not, Tian Wu is dead. β
Another strategist said: "In this case, this news can be transmitted to the palace." Send a man of good speech into the palace and inform the king. Gongzi Wu is dead, what is the use of him holding on? β
"If you continue to fight, it will be unfavorable to Yu Gongzi. The people of the capital are strong, isn't Gongzi worried about what happened to Shangqiu twenty years ago? The Mohists blended into the people and preached the righteousness of the Mohists, and when the time came, if the people made a covenant with the prince and really practiced the 'agreement between the monarch and the subjects', and the constitutional legislation was the control of the monarchy, what should it do? β
"Tian Wu is dead, and the prince and the king have no grudges. On the contrary, it is necessary to guard against the untouchable people's agreement to legislate, these days the people's organization is strong, it is the means of the Mo family, and the son must not be on guard. β
As soon as this advisor said "the agreement between the king and the subjects" and the Shangqiu incident twenty years ago, Tian Yan immediately nodded solemnly.
Yesterday's battle, some people organized to a degree, advance and retreat, if the people were really organized by the Mo family, take this opportunity to make an appointment with the monarch, it would be a big deal.
Shangqiu is now not like the king, the people are not like the people, and they have the foundation of the aristocratic republic of "three surnames co-government", after the coup d'Γ©tat, the Mo family added fuel to the fire, and came up with a "national co-government", which is the last thing the monarch wants to see.
The longer the people are organized, the easier it is to have accidents, wasn't the Shangqiu Incident because the Mo family helped defend the city and the people were organized?
Now that the people are being organized again, and they themselves say "Ning Min", it is even worse if the people work together to do something like "covenanting the law" or "co-government".
If it was in the past, naturally there was no need to worry, but the propaganda of the Mo family in recent years has been very loud, and words such as equality, monarchy, and legislation have been circulating in the market all day long, which is a big trouble.
Since it is said that Tian Wu fled and the defeat has been decided, then it is better to hurry up and negotiate peace with Tian and give way, the meat is still rotten in the pot, how to say that it is also the Tian family, it is better than being restrained by the people.
In a few more days, the people will be more tightly organized, more unscrupulous, and more propagandized by those hidden Mohists, and there will be a big incident.
Another strategist also added a fire and said: "Childe, don't talk about Shangqiu, do you think about where the battle of Qimo started this time?" β
"It started in the country of Fei. It started with the rebellion of the people of Fei Guoguo, the election of a new monarch, and the formulation of laws to bind. The Mo family said that this is a great righteousness and it should be supported. β
"What if...... You and the king's sandpiper and clam are fighting, and they are no longer powerless, and the Mo family, who is hiding in the market, raises his arms and shouts, organizes the people who have just attacked the city wall, and forces you to legislate and bind your power...... The army of the Emperor is in Yingyi, and when the time comes, he will say that this is in line with the will of heaven and righteousness, and if you don't agree, you will send troops to Linzi to help you agree......"
Tian Yan trembled all over, this kind of possibility is not nothing, especially with the history of the change of the country, the Mo family is indeed reasonable, but the reason they talk about is different from the truth of the princes.
If the people of Linzi rioted and demanded the law, then the Mo family's dispatch of troops would not violate the "non-attack", but take the heavenly will of "the people as the gods" as a higher standard.
The strategist next to him said: "Childe, now I have to take this opportunity to make peace with the king immediately and let him give in." Then gather the forces in the hands of the king and you, combine the two, control the situation in Linzi, don't be incited by the Mo family to riot, and don't give the Mo family an excuse. β
