Chapter 56: Armed Intervention (2)
The sound of Chen Jian's footsteps was no longer light, and the young man hurriedly got up and saluted when he saw Chen Jian, and Chen Jian remembered that this man was the son of the leader of a city downstream, and returned the salute to express his condolences.

After a few rituals, the young man was taken down to rest, and Jian Chen also asked E and Weihe to accompany them, leaving only himself and Su Yue in the house.
The problem couldn't be more obvious, the old leader paved the way for his son before he died, but he didn't want anyone in the city to be too famous, so he didn't fight for his son.
I didn't fight with others, and I didn't want to abide by the rules, so I simply led people to a military coup and the result was still defeated.
When the clans swore an oath, in fact, they did not interfere in the internal affairs of the cities, but Chen Jian believed that Su Yue would definitely take care of this matter for his own sake and for his son.
Justifiably, it's actually simple. One of the most important items in King Wu's pastoral oath is that King Wu does not use human and animal sacrifices to snub the heavens and the earth, and he can always find an excuse to find it.
The important thing is not the excuse, but whether interfering in the internal affairs of his city will be opposed by the people of the city? The sense of kinship in this era is still very strong, in the previous life, the Shang destroyed Xia and Zhou destroyed the Shang were all left with fiefs and feudal monarchs, and they did not dare to kill them all, even after Yiyin's coup d'Γ©tat was seized again, his son was still reused to have a fief.
Jian Chen took the lead in breaking the silence in the room and asked, "Leader Su Yue is looking for me, but is it because of this incident?" β
"Exactly. You heard it just now, what do you think? Laborers do not know how to work, short-sighted, dull and ignorant, and are easily deceived. β
As soon as he heard this, Jian Chen understood Su Yue's attitude, and hurriedly nodded and said, "What Su Yue's leader said is extremely true, it makes too much sense. It's just that that person really did something against the way of heaven like not burying the old leader first, but electing the leader first? β
He believed half of what the young man said just now, and the most important thing was this, the person who could be the leader of the mixed up would not know that this would easily lead to the disgust of everyone?
Su Yue shook his head and said: "That person only said that he would first elect a prime minister for burial and worship, and by the way, he elected the leader. According to what he said, it cannot be said that it is wrong, even if it is a burial, there must always be someone to preside. β
"Leader Suyue knows about this?"
"I learned yesterday. The man in the city sent to tell me that the city was troubled now, and invited us to go and mourn, and then come to Sucheng after the burial, and make an oath to meet the leaders of the city. β
Chen Jian nodded, and said in his heart: "I'm afraid that I have to stabilize the city first, and I don't dare to leave at this time." It seems that this person's advantage is not overwhelming, and there is a lot to be done here. β
There is no need to think about it, Su Yue must be ready to interfere, he wants to make a good start for his son, and it would be best if he could form a new rule of father's death and son's succession within the alliance.
Chen Jian naturally won't talk nonsense about public opinion at this time, what he has to do at this time is to do a good job in the relationship with Sucheng, at least in three or five years, he must be close to Sucheng, as an alliance, of course, he must think about what his allies think and what his allies are anxious about.
Moreover, interfering in the internal affairs of his city, this young man will inevitably obey Su Yue's words in the future, this is a charcoal in the snow, and Su Yue should not do anything icing on the cake.
As long as the opening of interference is opened, many things will be much easier in the future. The strength is in hand, there are a bunch of excuses to find casually, and those who dare to open this kind of opening are very confident in themselves, and Su Yue really has this qualification.
After thinking about it, Jian Chen asked, "I'm not too familiar with the Dahe kinship, this kid is ...... on weekdays Well done? β
"Not bad. Since he was a child, he followed his father to fight and was in charge of the summer and autumn harvests, and he was still very famous in the city. Even if the people of the city are stupid, there are actually many people who support him. β
Jian Chen turned around twice with his hands behind his back, and said angrily: "That is the case, the guy who usurped the leaders is really a bit excessive. β
"First, the burial of the old leader is the first priority, and it is against the way of heaven and earth to elect the leader first without burying it first."
"Second, since the relatives have made an oath and the leader is elected, the relatives must be present, otherwise what is the difference between it and when the oath is not made? All this is the case in the future, and though the oath is there, the covenant is broken. β
"Third, if that man is wise, the son of the leader will be convinced, how can he flee to Sucheng to cry? He is the son of a chief, and if this is the case, how many people are not convinced but dare not speak? It can be seen that this person may not be very virtuous, and if such a person becomes a leader, it may really be a disaster in a few years. β
"Fourth, the old leader has already died, and he didn't immediately notify the various relatives to prepare the sacrificial ceremony, but only sent someone to inform the leader of Suyue yesterday, which really shouldn't be."
Su Yue nodded again and again when he heard this: "What Ji Xia said is very reasonable, and I think so too." The city is three or four hundred miles downstream, close to Dongyi, the terrain is dangerous, if such a city does not have a good leader, it will be a disaster for the entire city. β
"When I heard about it yesterday, I wondered why we didn't first inform us that we should prepare the memorial service. When the child came today, I realized that there were such twists and turns. Ay! This time I was looking for Ji Xia, I wanted to ask Ji Xia to borrow some fast horse sailboats, inform the relatives of various cities, and come to my Sucheng to discuss together. This matter cannot be slowed down, once it is slow, that man will cause trouble in the city, and the foolish people really think that he is the best choice for the leader, and we will inevitably have some ...... if we go again."
After saying a few words, he sighed and shook his head, and Jian Chen also echoed: "After the oath, they are all one, and it is for the sake of all the relatives. It is not a problem to borrow boats and horses, but even if there are boats and horses, the leaders of the rest of the clans will come, to say the least, until August. By that time, the man had already deceived all the people in the city, and we were afraid that we would not be able to resolve it quickly for a while, and that there would be more casualties and hatred. β
Where didn't Su Yue know the truth that the sooner this kind of thing is, the better? However, three or four hundred miles of twists and turns, it will take more than ten days to send troops, and if there are fewer people, they cannot be deterred, and if they go more, they will consume food, and Chen Jian needs to help run the food along the river, and they also need to invite the leaders of all ethnic groups to go together, so as to shock those people in the city.
When he was at a loss, Jian Chen suddenly said: "Although that person has temporarily usurped the position of leader, there must be many disobedient people in the city. At this time, those who really support him are those of his own family, if we call on all the leaders to come together, he will definitely know. I'm afraid...... I'm afraid that when the time comes, he will take the city to Dongyi, and it is unknown. β
"What does Ji Xia mean?"
"The sooner the better. The later it gets, the more chaotic it is. Now that the city is in turmoil, there is no need for many soldiers, and it is enough for 300 people to rush to the city downstream in three or five days with lightning speed. The leader of Suyue can send someone to inform the leaders of the various clans, and by the time the leaders of the relatives come to Sucheng, the chaos has been settled. The boy is now in the city of Su, and we will take him with us, and those who believe in him in the city will clap their hands and applaud, and eat the pot pulp. If the boy lies, there is no one in the city to support him...... Then we also need to respect the choice of the people in the city, and hand him over to the city, so as not to spoil the friendship of the relatives. β
Su Yue smiled, and said in his heart that only those in his own family who sincerely supported the current leader were those in his own family, and as long as he could be pacified quickly, most of the people in the city would still support the victor.
However, he didn't believe Jian Chen's words, and felt that Jian Chen was thinking simply. The result of pacification within three or five days is self-evident, but the key to the problem is how to capture the city within three or five days by traveling 300 miles eastward?
"Ji Xia thinks very well, but it's hard to do. A few years ago, I fought with Dongyi, and the siege was several months, which was difficult to overcome. Although the city wall is not high, it is not easy to climb, and it can only be surrounded and cut off from water. Besides, once the city is besieged, the casualties will be heavy, and even if we are justified in crusading, how can the people in the city accept that child? How can I not know that the sooner the better? β
Jian Chen closed his eyes and counted the days, thought about it, and said confidently: "Since Xia swore an oath with his relatives, he has not made any efforts, but he has won the favor of his relatives, and his heart is uneasy. This time to calm down, Xia Yuan tried his best. Today is the ninth day of the seventh month, and the leader of Suyue can now send an envoy to his relatives to inform him of the matter, and Xia has his own means to calm the chaos before the 20th of July.
