Chapter 255: The Heart of King Mi Bing of Jing and Song Dynasty (13)
When the young master heard that his father wanted to stop the war and join the alliance, he felt even more dissatisfied.
Two years ago, he was the general and met with the Han and Zhao families in Pingyin, defeated Jiang Qi, and built 30,000 Jingguan, which shocked the world.
But such martial arts are less legendary than the fact that the Mo family attacked the Chu camp at night with hundreds of elite troops and forced the Chu king to form an alliance.
Now that he heard that his father had such a meaning, he stood up and said, "Father, Wei has now tens of thousands of armored men. How are they afraid of only hundreds of ink people? Furthermore, the methods of how the ink people attacked at night have been written. As long as you are careful, can you repeat the defeat of the Chu people?"
He thought of Qin Gongzilian's persuasion and said, "Now the good breeds of crops and iron tools have been innovated. Zheng, Wei, Song and other Central Plains are all fertile soil. Now that the war is stopped, aren't those fertile soil rare to get it?"
Li Kui, who was standing aside, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, are you afraid of the hundreds of Mo people? Have you ever heard of the fable written by the Shizi man in the Mo family?"
"The tiger asks all the beasts to eat it, and gets the fox. The fox said, "I dare not eat me! The Emperor of Heaven asked me to grow hundreds of beasts. Now I eat me, which is against the will of the Emperor of Heaven. I think I am not convinced, so I will go first, and I will follow me, and see the beasts who see me and dare not leave?" The tiger agreed, so he went with it. The beasts all saw it. The tiger did not know that the beasts were afraid of themselves and left, and thought it was afraid of the fox."
"The Mo family is a fox. Jin and Chu are a tiger. Chu becomes an alliance to stop the war. What they fear is not Mo, but Jin. Jin becomes an alliance to stop the war, but what they fear is not Mo, but Chu. If Jin and Chu stop the war, then all the small countries of Qi, Zheng, Wei and Lu are all alliances."
"There is a technique of specimen leverage among the Mohist mechanical methods, which is the case. As he said, a bottle of wine can pry a cauldron of thousands of pounds. The skill of such specimen is really admirable."
The story of fox and tiger power that appeared only during the reign of King Xuan of Chu appeared decades earlier and did not change the original meaning. The situation used by Li Kui was not wrong, which is exactly this meaning.
The fox said that the Emperor of Heaven made him grow hundreds of beasts. The Mo family said that the Emperor of Heaven made him obtain the will of Heaven and judge the right or wrong rules of the world by using the will of Heaven.
In the end, whether the Heavenly Emperor exists is secondly. What the other beasts see is the tiger following the fox, not the Heavenly Emperor as the fox calls it.
Prince Ji sat down again helplessly, Weiss asked all the ministers and said, "This is a fox that pretends to be a tiger. The Mo family supposes the name of the Emperor of Heaven, but no one can refute it."
"Those weapons like gunpowder have been sold to the State of Chu. They only say that for the purpose of defending the city, and also say that Xiong Dang has vowed to last his life and not to fight an unjust war."
"So what can I do now?"
The young master muttered, "If the troops were sent out as soon as possible, the Mo family would have no chance to lie with the power of the Chu people."
Weis shook his head and said, "How early can it be for the troops to be sent soon? I look at the Mo family, I am afraid that from the very beginning, I never wanted to rely on our Three Jins to send troops. They are afraid that since they went to Shangqiu, they have already thought about how to defeat the people of Chu and think that they are 'benefiting the world'!"
"From April besieging the city to June breaking the formation, between two months, even if the troops were sent in April, could it be possible to rush to Shangqiu to defeat the Chu people?"
Weis sighed and rolled up the pieces of grass and silk. Now there are grass and silk in the Wei Palace, and he often uses it. Many things from the Mo family have already transformed into the world like rain that moistens things.
Li Kui made a statement: "Since the Mo family spread in this way, or in a few days, the Qin Huali might come to the king in person to promote the third stopping of the war."
"I look at the Mohist sayings, which means spreading the good iron seeds and crops. They want to benefit the world, but they can stop the war. If the people benefit, the country will be strong. Two quarters a year, the tax will double, the civilians will double, the soldiers will use their lives, and the military soldiers can also train more."
"The Chu people enthrone the king and the public, and it is difficult to achieve anything. It is still beneficial to us."
Weiss nodded and said, "I have the same intention, too."
"There are many Mo people in the Song Dynasty, so there is no need to talk about this country."
"Han Wuzi attacked Zheng and killed Duke You. The people of the country established his brother Zheng Qi and vowed to avenge this. They defeated the Han people in a battle of Shu a few years ago, and they have been here."
"This is the case with the Mo family, and the Zheng people will be in alliance. At that time, the Mo family will help the Zheng people defend the city and wait for the Chu people to come to help. Our hard army will be stricken under the city on an expedition. How can we be defeated?"
"Besides, Duke Yang and Lord Yangcheng are all brave and powerful in their ability to know the soldiers. The people of Chu can send troops at any time... The people of Zheng are married to the people of Chu, and if there is a prince, how can the people of Chu not save them?"
Weiss has not yet dealt with King Xiong Dang of Chu, but from Xiong Dang's Northern Expedition, it can be seen that this person must have the intention to dominate the Central Plains, and the time he chose was very good.
If the Mohist family had not created such a legend in Shangqiu, the Chu people would have been inevitable this time, and attacked from Daliang to force the Wei people to pay homage.
The three families divided Jin, and they had just attacked Qi, and were exhausted.
Xiong Dang is famous for his army. Although he was to avoid the morale and military force when he defeated Qi, he could claim to be a benevolent and righteous king: he did not conquer the mourning period. It took him three years to die, so he went on the expedition. There were no many doubts or criticisms on this outside.
The Chu people had many lords, and the county magistrates had power, so they could deal with some things very quickly: if the Three Jins besieged Zheng and were obstructed by the Mo family's guarding the city, their morale was exhausted, Yangchengjun and Luyanggong and other county magistrates would seize the opportunity to raise troops to rescue and start the war.
Furthermore, Weiss also heard that Duke Yang treated Mozi with his teacher's courtesy, and the Mo family had disciples who were close friends with the son of Yangchengjun. Once they had the chance, these two people would never miss the opportunity to send troops.
This time, the Mohist family used the legendary battle and the gunpowder to incite the market, these three not-so-heavy weights, which leveraged the whole day.
The third war breaking meeting, which sounds ridiculous, seems to be really successful.
The battle for hegemony between Jin and Chu is the two polar forces in the world at this time. As long as the two countries restrict each other and reach a terror balance, the rest of the countries will join one after another.
Because the Qin people were beaten to the point of losing Xihe, they had to retreat, and even Hangu Guan Gu Pass would never be able to see them in their lifetime; the Tian regime of Qi State, Jiang Qi was weak and had just experienced a great defeat; the Yue people did not have the chance to get involved in the Central Plains; the Zhao State was already dissatisfied with the joint efforts of the Three Jins to attack Zhongyuan, which could not even drink soup...
With all the chaotic situations, the Chu people were forced to form an alliance, so the Wei people had to join.
Now it seems that the Mohist family is just creating momentum and has not formally sent people to pay their respects to the monarch, so this matter can be discussed again.
In order to discuss, we must also consider the opinions of the other important officials who are not in Anyi to show respect for them. It is also to listen to both sides and make them feel their importance.
So Weiss said, "In this way, he sorted out these and passed them to Wu Qi, Beimen Ke, Ximen Bao, Le Yangzi and others, and asked what they thought?"
…………
In Wuqi in Xihe, the people who had previously sent a letter to the Marquis of Wei had known what happened in Shangqiu.
After the messenger of the Marquis of Wei arrived, he passed on the orders of the Marquis of Wei and gave Wu Qi many rewards of pearls and jade. Then he asked about his opinion on this matter.
Wu Qi was grateful for Weis's value. He was a scholar who had a bad reputation and could be used so much. He could only do his best to repay his kindness for his goodwill.
However, a while ago, he had a conflict with the young master attack and felt very uneasy.
The servants and servants who stayed in Anyi also spread some rumors about Anyi, which made Wu Qi even more anxious.
Before the Shangqiu incident, some rumors broke out in Anyi for some reason.
Wu Qi felt that these rumors were probably spread by Mr. Qin and those who were good at speaking.
Because Wu Qi has read a lot of articles from the Mohist school in the past two years, he feels that the theory of these rumors is very consistent with the contradictory theory of the Mohist school.
The rumor only says: Wu Qi is a scholar, without a fief, but only a guardian of Xihe. Therefore, he is a talented person, and he can be a prime minister when he goes to any country, because there is no family or fiefdom.
Now that Li Kui is old, if Wu Qi is not used to be prime minister in the future, Wu Qi will surely perish. All the four countries of Qi, Qin, Chu and Zhao can become famous as prime ministers.
He also said that he knew that his troops were good at using them, and that he would give them rewards to his soldiers, and shared the joys and sorrows with them, and his heart would be great. As a result, the people of Xihe only knew that there was Xihe guarding, but not Weihou.
Besides, Wu Qi killed his wife and asked for generals, and he had great ambitions. If he did not become a prime minister, he would not be able to stay in Wei for a long time. If he went to generals and prime ministers, he could go anywhere in the world...
Weiss didn't even mention these rumors, obviously trusting Wu Qi very much, but Wu Qi knew that Weiss was already seventy years old, how long could he be in power?
Like Tian Zifang, he is good at knowing people, so how could he not know the nature of Gongziji?
But when he sent troops a while ago, he really had to uphold his ideas in order to repay Weis's kindness for his understanding, and everything was for Wei's rise.
He simply disagrees with sending troops to rescue Song, nor does he want Weis to care about this meaningless hegemony.
Because in Wu Qi's view, the times have changed, and it is no longer the Spring and Autumn Period with hegemony, but the real troubled times of disputes among the nations.
So what can I save Song? So what can I get Song’s quest?
Zheng and Han were mortal enemies. If the Song people went to Chu and Chu people had the advantage in Song, Daliang and Zheng, the one with the greatest pressure was not Wei, but Han.
The Koreans were the first to deal with Zheng and Chu. Then, besides relying on Wei, where can there be a way out?
The area where Wei and Chu borders is nothing more than Xihe.
However, there were dangers in Xionger Mountain, Huashan, and Kuafu Mountain Peach Forest, and the Chu people had no chance to organize an attack there.
Furthermore, Wu Qi was also confident. If the Chu people dared to come, he would let the Chu people know the hero of the Wushu.
In the Central Plains, there was a Wei Kingdom between the Wei and Song dynasties as a buffer. Even if the Song people were forced to go to Chu, they would have two hearts. The Chu people could not threaten the essence of Wei.
But what about South Korea?
They were intertwined with Zheng State, and the Western Front was dealing with the Nanyang Plain, the essence of Chu State. Daliang City was like a wedge to separate South Korea from two enclaves.
If you want to be the overlord, it would be natural to save Song.
But if you don’t want to be the overlord, Wu Qi feels that it is completely unnecessary to save Song at this time.
The one who panics at that time must be South Korea. South Korea cannot defeat the Zheng and Chu coalition forces, and they are worried that the Zheng people will recover their blood feud.
More than ten years later, South Korea could only vassalize Wei.
For more than ten years, Wu Qi felt that in the past ten years, he could completely suppress the Qin people and invade Guanzhong, making the Qin people weak.
At that time, only if there are vassals of the Central Plains and the wealth of the Xihe River in relation to the Central Plains can we get out of the inner and outer mountains and rivers of the Three Jin Dynasties and attack the Central Plains.
Why should we be this overlord who has a false reputation? The Chu people retreated south, and the Han people must have a sense of their own heart! The Zhao people were staring behind their backs, waiting for the decline of Wei. How could they think about what overlord to be?
