The various princes seem to be powerful, but in fact their weaknesses are also obvious.

They do not and cannot have a common ideal, nor do they have the spirit of sacrificing for this common ideal, and the so-called system of etiquette and law is nothing more than a tool and a means of rule.

They will not sacrifice themselves for this ideal, but only some small nobles and scholars can do so for this ideal.

This is the basis on which Sishang can borrow the contradictions of the aristocracy to divide and disintegrate.

The dissolution of the Three Jin Alliances stemmed geopolitically from the two countries of Zheng and Zhongshan.

As long as Zhongshan is restored, Wei will not be surrounded by Zhao on three sides, and Zhao will be able to get rid of Wei's control.

As long as Zheng Guo is swallowed by Han, the buffer between Wei and Han disappears, and the contradiction between Wei and Han is just around the corner.

Five years ago, in the First Central Plains War, Wei Zhao turned his face seemingly because Wei interfered with Zhao's inheritance in the civil war, but in fact, he turned his face today and may not be able to reconcile tomorrow.

However, because of the restoration of Zhongshan Jun, Zhao completely got rid of the situation of being surrounded by Wei on three sides, and Wei was only an obstacle and competitor to Zhao's southward movement, and even if necessary, he could unite with Chu to attack Wei.

This time, for the collapse of the Wei-Han alliance, Shi also wanted to use Zheng Guo.

In history, South Korea destroyed Zheng with a blitzkrieg and killed Zheng in five days, with the help of the opportunity for Wei Chu to start a war with the vassals of the Wei Alliance, the Korean army crossed the river overnight, and went straight to the defenseless Zheng Guoguo's capital, and quickly destroyed Zheng Guo.

Originally, in that year in history, Wei and Zhao had already turned their faces, and even Zhao and Chu had an alliance to attack Wei together, and Zhao Han intervened in the civil war of Wei's succession soon after to divide Wei into two.

At that time, Wei State urgently needed South Korea's support, and South Korea took a fancy to this, and on the grounds of "I don't fight you, I am the greatest support for you", blitzed Zheng Guo to destroy Zheng, making Wei Guo pinch his nose and admit South Korea's occupation of Zheng State.

Since South Korea can do the fifteenth, it is natural to feel that he can do the first year of junior high school.

Zheng Guo has no interests in the Mo family for the time being, but can instigate the contradictions between Wei Han and Han Chu.

Zhongshan had already been restored five years ago, and if Zheng was annexed by Korea again, there would never be a Sanjin alliance in the world.

Because of the morality of the Mo family, it is not possible to nakedly carry out the Pengcheng conspiracy or Yang Zhai conspiracy with South Korea, so that South Korea will not participate in the possible intervention war of Wei Chuhan against Song at the cost of acquiescing to Korea's annexation of Zheng State.

Therefore, this needs to be forced in a backward way.

How to force it, this is naturally to make South Korea feel that the Mo family may vigorously assist Zheng Guo, so that the later the annexation will be more pressure, forcing him to act early.

Because Zheng Guo is meaningless to Sishang at this time, he has to make a strong effort to help Zheng Guo.

Because Sishang is going to vigorously aid Jeong, South Korea must annex Jeongkook early.

It seems that the Zheng State assisted by Sishang suffered a great loss when it was annexed, but in fact it made a big profit, which was equivalent to using a blank check to disintegrate the Wei-Han alliance and destroy the possibility of the Song State's intervention in the war.

But even if it was a blank check, it would cost a piece of paper, which was the envoy sent to Zheng Guo this time, some of the weapons they had brought with them, and the follow-up negotiations on continued assistance.

As long as South Korea takes advantage of the chaos to swallow Zheng, Wei, Chu and Han's alliance will be less South Korean, leaving only Wei, who is worried about being stabbed in the back by Qin, and Chu, who is anxious about being troubled by domestic centralized power changes, and the situation is much better.

If Wei, Chu and Han could not join forces, Qi would inevitably continue to remain neutral and dare not speak. Wei, Han, Qi, and Chu can only shout slogans to condemn, so the Yue country will also defend itself.

If the Song State can avoid intervening in the war by means of diplomatic mediation, it will be possible to win a few more years for Sishang to prepare for a full-scale war.

Moreover, if it is possible, it may also detonate the contradictions between Wei and Han in advance, and if it can provoke a civil war between the Three Jin Dynasty, then it will be more advantageous in the future.

…………

months later.

Zheng Du.

The rebellion of Si Ziyang nearly twenty years ago has completely destroyed Zheng Guo, and Zheng Guo, who once undertook and shot Zhou Tianzi's arrow, now only has about one-third of the territory of twenty years ago.

After Si Ziyang's death, the places were divided, Qi Mu became independent, and the remnants of Si Ziyang eventually killed Zheng Gong and supported Yi Cheng, the son of Yougong who was killed by Han Hou, as the king.

Wei Chu's several battles around Daliang, Yuguan, and Chen Cai finally won Zheng Guo a chance to breathe.

The reason why Si Ziyang came to power was because of the blood feud between Zheng and Han, so the foreign policy he upheld has always been tough on Han and welcoming Wei Fengying.

Wei was happy to do this, and Wei didn't want Korea to become bigger, and wished that Zheng Guo would fight with South Korea all day long.

The legal power of the ruling of Si Ziyang's henchmen also relied on the blood feud of the Zheng Han clan, and whoever opposed the war against Han was a rebel, so as to maintain the unity under the high pressure of Zheng Guo.

In order to marry the Wei State, Si Ziyang used the power of Wei to cut Chu Han and contain the Chu prince to flee, which made the relationship between Zheng and Chu very bad.

Si Ziyang is ambitious, but the mistake is to overestimate Zheng Guo's national strength: indeed, Zheng Guo is a relatively early country to change the law, relying on the people's hearts in the early stage of the reform, it is very small and big, and beat South Korea several times.

But as all countries began to change the law, the national strength that was higher because of the first change of the law was quickly flattened and overtaken, Zheng Guo could not be regarded as self-destruction, but could only be regarded as a desperate fight under the troubled times, but he just lost.

If he took advantage of the battle of Wei and Chu and the opportunity for South Korea to send troops to attack Luyang to capture the Korean capital in one fell swoop, it may not be that there will be no turnaround, and Si Ziyang can also take advantage of this to "take revenge", completely defeat the remaining six families of Qimu, and completely control the national government of Zheng Guo.

However, people are not as good as heaven, when Zheng Guo raided South Korea, besieged Han Capital, Han Hou died, Wei attacked Luyang Niu who was suitable for guarding, and had to retreat, making the Mo family famous, but Zheng Guo had another hatred that forced Han Hou to death for no reason.

Now that he has defected to South Korea, South Korea has a bridgehead in Yingshui, and as long as South Korea is willing, it can reach the capital of Zheng State in two days.

After all, from Dengfeng to Xinzheng, it is only a short distance of less than 100 miles.

Song Guo and Zheng Guo can be regarded as sympathetic to each other, their ancestors have been broad, and now they are both sandwiched between the big powers, after the news of the coup d'état of Song State, Zheng Guo is the most nervous one.

Rather than being nervous about the outcome of the Song coup d'état, or about the spread of those ideas of equality and freedom, the rulers of Zheng were nervous about the re-détente of relations between Wei and Han.

Every time Wei needed help from Korea, he would use Zheng Guo's land as a reward, and it wasn't a year or two, it had always been like this.

As soon as the state of Chu is strong, the state of Wei will need the help of Korea, and it will allow Korea to attack the state of Zheng to obtain benefits. At that time, Si Ziyang was thinking about once and for all, accepting Wang Ziding, splitting the Chu State, pulling the Wei State to form an alliance to resist Chu together, and weakening the Chu State, so that the contradictions between Wei and Han could be intensified, so as to sway and grow stronger in the contradictions of the great powers.

I never thought that the Chu State had been unable to advance north in recent years, and there was an extra Sishang, which made Wei Han need to face a strong enemy again.

There are many rumors in the world that this time Wei Chuhan will interfere with the Song State, send troops to maintain the feudal system together, and extinguish the flames of the rebellion of the people, which is the reason why Zheng Guo is nervous: Wei Guo is only afraid that this time he will use Zheng Guo's meat to tempt South Korea to cooperate.

Therefore, when the envoy of Sishang came to Zheng Guo, Zheng Guo was like grabbing a life-saving straw for the person who was about to drown, and welcomed the envoy of Sishang with an unprecedented grand ceremony.

Si Ziyang Yu Party now controls Zheng Guo's national politics, Si Shang has enough praise for Si Ziyang's change from the perspective of historical limitations, and many people in the Deng Yi school are in Si Shang, which also makes the relationship between Si Shang and Zheng Guo not too bad.

Among the envoys who came to Zheng Guo this time, there was a disciple of the Deng Xi school, although he later entered the Mo family.

The Deng Yi school is a famous family, and Hui Shi, the master of the famous family, is still a little hairy child who goes to school in Shangqiu City, and the differences between the famous family and the Mo family are not big in politics, and the main differences are in some dialectics.

More often, the disagreement between the famous and the Mohist in the dialectic is more like a "dispute between the poles and the essence", such as the dispute between volume and area; There are many kinds of disputes between relative and absolute heights.

It's just that the later masters fell into the fallacy of relativism: there is no absolute right and wrong, only relative right and wrong, everything in the world is constantly changing, so there is no absolute truth - the definition of this doctrine itself is contradictory, if there is no absolute truth in the world, then is the idea that there is no absolute truth in the world itself true?

Deng Xi turned the world upside down in Zheng Guo back then, and reversed Zheng Guo's official laws with a lawyer's mouth, and his sophistry was unparalleled in the world, and this sophistry was gradually assimilated by the Mohist "dialectic system" after it was handed down, making the logic of the debate take shape, and no longer make the debate fall into the situation of chickens and ducks, which also gradually absorbed and digested some of the re-transmission disciples of the Deng Yi school.

After the re-transmission disciples of the Deng Yi school led the art to Si, most of them worked in the public security department, and a small number of them worked in the diplomatic system.

Revisiting the old land, the original Zheng people who have completely Si Shanghua have no sorrow for leaving, and the most they feel is that the people have been fighting hard for a long time, and the people have been trapped for a long time, and they have broken away from the ignorant Zheng people and Koreans.

Zheng Ren's grand welcome to the Mohist envoy has both a realistic purpose and some old feelings.

The Mo family and Zheng Guo had an old affair forty years ago, especially with the strength of Sishang and the monopoly of culture and discourse, so that this old matter is known to everyone in Zheng Guo.

It's just that because of the turn of propaganda and public opinion of the Mo family four or five years ago, there are very few people who mention this old matter at this time, and it is not the first taste to mention it again.

But this time, when Zheng Guojun and the ministers met the envoy of the Mo family, they mentioned the old incident as soon as they came up, hoping to lead to a conversation about the fate of Zheng Guo through this old matter.
