When the two great powers were in full swing around the succession of Chu and the hegemony of the Central Plains, Shi also returned to Pei County from Luyang.

When he arrived in Pei County, it was already June, the first battle of Niu Yi, and the changes in the situation in the world, the Mo family nested in Pei County could finally let go of their hands and feet.

The focus of the world's strife is Zheng Guo.

In the first battle of Niu Qiyi, Wei Guoming knew that the Mo family was shirtless, but because Niu Qiyi was solid, he took the opportunity to hype up the technical advantages of the Mo family, which made the Mo family safer.

Wei Hou not only did not accuse the Mo family, but sent envoys to talk to the Mo family, prepared all kinds of gifts, good words, and hoped that the Mo family could sell some of the equipment used to defend the city.

Because Wei didn't want to be the first bird, and he didn't want to completely force the Mo family to the side of Chu. The Mo family's technology, organization, and gunpowder weapons displayed in the first battle of Niu Yiyi gave the Mo family enough bargaining chips to roam among the princes.

Moreover, Wei did not have the ability to attack Peixian now, let alone persecute Song, because that would be equivalent to forcing Song to the side of Chu.

Now, the Mo family can have a stable time in Pei County for at least ten years, and this time is created by the contradictions of the major powers.

Since Pei County is the foundation of the Mo family and the rear of the Chu State in the future, it is necessary to take advantage of the rare ten years to expand externally.

On the way back, Shi had already drawn up a statement in the center of the Mo family.

Five or six years ago, Teng Shuyu, who was violently beaten by the Mo family during the abolition of obscenity in Pei County, and was shot and injured by a bird slippery with superb archery skills, it was time for him to give full play to the value of his survival.

Back then, Teng Shuyu was not stupid, and asked him to go to Tengdi to contact the nobles of Teng.

At the same time, Teng Township has been infiltrating the Teng State occupied by the Yue State, and the Teng Land is already a small country, and the infiltration method of the Mo family is not at all what the control of the Yue State can stop at this time.

And the ink scholars who went to Wu at the same time as the Emperor Qisui who went to Shu have also made friends with many old nobles of Wu and gradually gained a foothold there.

In this case, it is necessary to use the existing rules in the world at this time, without shouting out the real rules of the Mo family, to use the existing rules to expand the sphere of influence of the Mo family.

The Mo family needs time, otherwise it will become a big deal in the future, and there will not be enough talents who have received the new education, and the final power will still be usurped by the nobles: at this time, the number of the Mo family is not in the world, and even a Chu state cannot be completely controlled according to the planned state appearance.

Ten years can cultivate enough talents, but in these ten years, we cannot do nothing, but we must continue to expand our power, expand our land, expand our army, and expand our wealth.

The state of Teng was destroyed by Zhu Gou of the Yue Kingdom, and it has been more than ten years, and the old nobles with power are dying, and they can no longer turn the sky.

But they have one thing that the Mo family can borrow—their bloodline.

The Mohists oppose the theory of blood, but the princes of the world still recognize it, and it is too early to play the slogan of stabilizing the world and making enemies of the princes of the whole world, so the bloodline of the descendants of the nobles of the Teng State can be borrowed.

Help...... When the country of Teng was restored, the princes of the world would not say anything, and maybe Zhou Tianzi would send someone to celebrate. How to say...... Teng Guo is also surnamed Ji, and the founding monarch is the fourteenth brother of King Wu.

And the Yue people will not go to see Zhou Tianzi at all, although Zhou Tianzi is already in name, but at least in the name of completely controlling Teng Guo can still symbolically use the last trace of face of Zhou Tianzi.

With the help of external forces to restore the country, the Mo family began to infiltrate the Teng country early, and the old nobles of the Teng country have long lost much power after more than ten years of waiting for the country, and it is impossible to turn the sky upside down.

The external situation is anxious about the hegemony of Jin and Chu, and there is no better time for the Mo family in Pei County.

What needs to be considered is the Yue Guo.

However, the Mo disciples who are active in Wu will speed up the time for Yue Guo to retreat south, and Yue Guo will move the capital to Linyi, which is simply dying, and Yue Guo no longer has the ability to dominate the Central Plains.

The goal of the Yue Kingdom to move the capital to Linyi is the Qi State, and a few years ago, when the Three Jin Dynasty invaded Qi, the goal was also achieved: let the Marquis of Qi drive the Yue King, cede the two cities of Jianyang and Juling, and by the way, there are many Qi people as slaves.

It's just that the Qi State is not as weak as it seems.

Although the Qi State seems to be weak, the wounds of the Battle of Liqiu have begun to recover, although the Tian brothers are still fighting for power, but Tian Hao and Tian He joined forces to subdue the rest of the Tian family's factions.

Gongsun Hui openly rebelled to the Three Jin Dynasty, and all of his faction followed.

The Xiangziniu rebellion has also been quelled.

Tian Haotian and the brothers will definitely have many coups in the future, but at this time they need to work together to fight the remnants of the Qi Hou and find a way to legitimize the Tian regime and completely abolish the Qi Hou.

Before, he wanted to use the invasion of Yue to humiliate the Marquis of Qi, so that the Marquis of Qi lost face, and with the rebellion of Xiang Ziniu and Gongsun Hui, the Qi State seemed to be extremely weak.

In fact, it was because the Tian clan was not willing to fight the battle of Liqiu at all, and it was more like using the battle of Liqiu to clean up the internal disputes between the Marquis of Qi and the Tian clan.

Now that the dispute has gradually subsided, it will be eight years before Qi will be officially crowned a prince by the Son of Heaven, and then the Qi State will be involved in the Surabaya Valley, especially the Yue State will be about to retreat south.

The Mo family did not have much time, and they had to completely gain control of the small vassal states of Surabaya and expand their strength before the Qi State stabilized and the Yue State retreated south.

Whether it is to help restore the country or to empty the princes, in short, within the framework of the rules of the old era, unscrupulous means.

The Three Jin Dynasty were busy with the new monarch and the new policy, and they were busy fighting with Chu, and the Qi State had a chance to breathe, and now the pressure on the Yue State would increase.

If the Mo family can take advantage of this opportunity to gain control of the Teng State, the Yue State will not dare to retaliate with all his strength to beware of the Qi State, it is completely an opportunity.

Moreover, if the situation is opened here, the life of the Yue country in the north will not be easy, and it will accelerate the time for the Yue country to retreat south.

The most perfect situation is that after the retreat of the Yue State to the south, the Qi State has just recovered, and the Mo family has basically controlled the small vassal states such as Teng, Xue, Xuan, Qi, and Pi, so that the Qi State is powerless to get involved, and the energy of the Qi State is forced to the Central Plains.

This time period must be stuck, too early will be retaliated against by the Yue State, and too late will be against the recovering Qi State.

…………

After returning to Daopei County, after reporting on the major events in Niuqiyi, he revealed his thoughts to the high-level of the Mo family, and thought that this was already an opportunity.

When cleaning up Wu Zhu back then, the high-level Mo family had already set a plan for development in Surabaya, which was also the reason why Yu Huali did not shoot Teng Shuyu.

The establishment of Teng Township is more like blatantly telling the Yue people that the next target of the Mo family is Teng State.

Moreover, the Mo family needs more excellent cadres, more cadres who have practiced, the larger the territory, the more opportunities for training, and it can also make the Tianxia scholars more willing to approach the Mo family - after all, they can be outstanding.

The toss between Chu and Niu Yi is just to seek a more perfect external environment for the Mo family, and now this goal has been achieved, and it also makes the princes of the world more recognize the special status of the Mo family and dare not move lightly.

At the meeting, after Shi finished talking about his thoughts and judgment on the situation in the world and the future direction, everyone was also excited.

Seeing that no one was the first to speak, as the person who shot and injured Teng Shuyu back then, he said first: "I think the right idea is feasible." ”

"He has already said about the situation in Qi and Vietnam. Now the Chu people are attacking Zheng, and the Jin people are competing with Chu for hegemony, and they will not pay attention to Surabaya for several years. It's the time of day. ”

"We have been developing in Pei County for several years, and the Tengdi accent is similar to Peidi, and the habits are similar, but the distance is not more than 100 miles, which is a geographical advantage."

"And most of us infiltrated in Jinteng Township, and many Teng farmers fled to Jinteng. Teng Shuyu and others contacted the nobles in Tengdi, and the customs of the Yue people were very different from those of the Central Plains. ”

"The right time, the right place and the right people are there, and this is the right thing to do."

Actually, there is another important condition for this man and in addition to what he said.

In recent years, the Mo family has expanded rapidly, from the original four or five hundred, to more than 1,400 official members and more than 700 reserve candidates in the whole world.

Not counting Pengcheng, the number of volunteers in Pei County has also expanded to seven thousand, and they have been practicing for a year and a half.

Among them were not only the locals of Peixian, but also some untouchables or landless people who had been "lured" from various countries, as well as more than 300 people who had used firearms and fought in actual combat brought back from Niuqiyi.

The Mo people and the original 300 Peixian volunteers are all grassroots officers and commanders, and they can be said to be elite at this time, just in time to train the army.

The situation of Yue Guo in Tengdi, because the distance is too close, and the preparation for future control seven or eight years ago, can be said to be well understood.

There was only a garrison of no more than 2,000 men.

Teng Shuyu and other local downtrodden nobles of Teng were operating internally, and Yue was unable to mobilize enough peasants and soldiers at all, and it was even likely that there was an internal rebellion.

Because the Mo family has been infiltrating the interior of Teng State, there are many Teng people who have fled in Teng Township.

Based on the righteous name of the rules of the world at this time, the Mo family also has: to help the surname Ji restore the country.

With the 7,000 righteous divisions of Pei County, the 2,000 garrisons attacking the Yue Kingdom, coupled with the popular aspirations and aristocratic activities within the Teng State, it was simply easy.

It's just that the timing of the battle must be mastered, to ensure that after the capture of Teng, there can be enough time to complete a series of changes, and at the same time strengthen the defense of Tengdi, build a new city defense system, and prepare for the counterattack of the Yue Kingdom.

During this period, it is also necessary to go to the Qi country for activities, take advantage of the many Qi disciples within the Mo family, contact the Tian brothers, and let them be ready to wave the flag and shout.

As long as we can withstand a wave of retaliation, then the situation will be greatly improved.

One is that the Qi State does not have the threat of the Three Jins, and when it is found that the Yue Kingdom is defeated, the Tian clan is temporarily stable, and will not let go of the opportunity to threaten the Yue Kingdom.

Second, once the counterattack of the Yue State against Tengdi is held, then the ink people who are active in Wu Land and the old nobles of Wu State who are in Wu Land will soon react.

Therefore, the whole problem has become extremely simple: capture Teng, use about a year to consolidate the city defense, and may face a counterattack of about 30,000 Vietnamese troops.

If it can be defended, the entire situation in Surabaya will be completely alive. Those countries such as Xuan and Tan that were destroyed by the Yue Kingdom were also under the control of the Mo family.
