Chapter 274: You Shi's Pei Salvation (1)
The sayings about fur and fleas are not false statements.
If Tian Zifang accused Gongzi Ji of not being proud of him, many years later, Gongzi Ji used his knowledge to criticize Wu Qi for his possible defection as a scholar.
A scholar has nothing but pride and talent, so he can go anywhere.
Besides, not to mention fleas, even if they are dependent on the hair, defection is often happening, so we have to be careful.
As the saying goes, only Chu has talent, only Jin can use it.
Wu Chen, the Duke of Shen, who defected in the Chu State, and the grandfather of Wu Zixu, who almost defected because of family hatred, were all considered nobles with fiefdoms.
Shen Gong was the county duke and Wu Ju was the doctor of Jiao. These people might defect, let alone these wandering soldiers?
Chu is a confidant of Wei, and everyone in Wei knows that Wu Qi's talent is not the same as that of Wei. No one present can bear the consequences of Wu Qi's defection or being taken over by the prince.
However, Wu Qi is already guarding Xihe. What kind of reward can he give him further?
When he became a prime minister, the nobles of the princes opposed it. Wei Chengzi and others all had great achievements and wise reputations, and the next prime minister must be Wei Chengzi.
After the Zhongshan Kingdom was destroyed, when Weiss appointed Prince as Zhongshan Lord, there were already nobility oppositions.
When Prince was named Zhongshan Lord, Weis asked his ministers whether he was a benevolent monarch during a banquet.
The doctor said, "If you conquered Zhongshan Country, you won't give it to your younger brother, but you will give it to your son. What kind of benevolence is this?"
This incident seemed to be just a persuasion or unintentional statement, but in fact it was a manifestation of Wei Chengzi's dissatisfaction with Weiss' use of many wandering scholars.
In return, or as a consideration for the stability of the Prince's ascending the throne, once Li Kui died or Weis died, the position must be handed over to Wei Chengzi and subsequent public figures.
In exchange for stability and support from the nobles of the public, so as to avoid rebellion and other situations.
In other words, Wu Qi's Xihe Shou is the pinnacle, and it is impossible to improve any further under such a situation.
Weiss understood that if he was twenty years younger, he could control Wu Qi, or dared to use Wu Qi to suppress the dissatisfaction of those nobles.
But now, I am at this age and it is time to consider my son.
The prince of Chu decided to flee, and the coup in Song State was civil strife. While all this brought exciting hope to Weis, it also brought deep vigilance - vigilance about his heirs after his death.
If you use a wandering scholar, you will be angry with the princes. He knows Wu Qi's talent, but he dares not use it because of the dissatisfaction of the nobles of the princes, and he dares not use it when he is old and leaves his son with a chaotic and dissatisfied court.
Li Kui had excellent plans, and Weis also understood that Chu was a disaster for the civil strife of Tian’s family. The Yue people went north to Qi, which was under the double-team, and even more understood that his son might not be able to defeat the Chu people quickly.
Li Kui said it very clearly that within two years, if he could break through Fangcheng and cross the Great Wall of Chu, quickly force the Chu people to form an alliance, join the prince to decide to reach a series of contracts, and in turn, he would agree to the Mo family's Central Plains to stop the war with great strategic advantages and then oppress Qin with all his strength, the situation of Wei would be completely opened.
However... Wei State cannot give Wu Qi a position, and Chu State, who is forced to do so, is afraid that it will give Wu Qi a position of prime minister, especially if it is a case of becoming a prince who will win the world in a battle.
What should I do if I can’t reward me if I can’t reward me if I can’t reward me if I can’t? Tell him clearly that for the sake of the peace of the public? Can he accept it?
The reforms of the Wei State were not yet thorough, and the power of the public clans had expanded, so this most perfect plan could not be used at all.
Weiss didn't believe the rumors about Wu Qi that were circulating in the city, but he had to be wary of it.
What kind of person is Wu Qi? Can a person who can kill his wife and ask for generals and his mother dies without losing his life? Can he always be the guard of Xihe with peace of mind?
If a wandering scholar is famous, where can we not go to the world's greatest power? Which king in the world is not welcome?
Everyone present was speechless when facing Gongzi Ji's words, especially Tian Zifang, who had educated Gongzi Ji's scholars the most proud of that time, could not say anything to refute.
Weiss hesitated for a long time and finally made a decision.
He asked Wu Qi to continue to defend the Xihe River, but did not mobilize Wu Qi as the commander, but sent envoys to South Korea and Zheng State as soon as possible to reconcile the conflicts between Zheng and Han, organize the coalition forces of the Han, Wei and Zheng State to start a war against Chu with the prince's claim.
As for Zhao State... Weiss has given up, as long as they don't stab the knife in the back.
…………
The changes in the world are always something that people cannot guess.
The Central Plains's quarrel that originally seemed to be about to be realized became confusing because of the assassination of the King of Chu.
A new round of war between Jin and Chu is about to begin, and the clouds of war have already spread across the Central Plains.
In Yuguan, Chu State, the son of Huan Dingjun, Yangcheng, was visiting a childhood friend, Meng Sheng of the Mo family.
As the best disciple of Qin Huali and the best among the three generations of the Mohist disciples, Meng Sheng was already excluded from the Mohist Central Plains decision-making circle after the Mohist family was reorganized several years ago.
In name, he was the person in charge of the Mozhe, but the central government of the Mo family was in Pei County, and the personnel were constantly being rotated and adjusted. The Mozhe who was constantly sent or sent back to the synonyms only recognized the Qi Wulai and Juzi of Pei County, or the leaders of various divisions.
This kind of exclusion is invisible and is a formal procedure after the Mohist reorganization. Meng Sheng himself did not know that he would be the third giant in his original history, so he had no sense of this silent exclusion.
Before Mozi passed away, Meng Sheng never thought that he could become a giant.
Even even if Mo Zi died, there were still Qi Huali and Qi Wuhao, these people were all outstanding people in the world, and Meng Sheng felt that they could not reach it.
Therefore, as the person in charge of the Mohist Chu, he was already a storied figure in the Mohist family. Although he was no better than those around Mozi, he was also the first person in the Mohist family in the three generations.
However, among Mo Zi's personal disciples, there is another younger than him, who has been as active as a meteor in recent years, and everything is full of variables.
Meng Sheng was a nobleman and his father was also a vassal of Huan Dingjun. He had been close to Yangchengjun's son since he was a child, so it was not abrupt that Yangchengjun's son came to visit him.
Moreover, Yuguan is now building a city, and some people from the Mo family are responsible for the construction, which are used to burn bricks and stones to mix mud and strengthen city defense.
The rumors that King Chu was captured by the Mo family and vowed to benefit the world have long been spread here, and Meng Sheng's identity has added a sense of equality.
The legitimate son of Yangchengjun came this time because he hoped that Meng Sheng would come forward as a private person to help the Chu people consolidate the city defense of Yuguan.
Yuguan is only a few days away from Zheng. The Chu people have already known the news from Zheng that Yang Chengjun, who is in charge of Yuguan's defense, is nervous.
The Zheng people had already begun to mobilize and prepare to send troops to attack Chu State in the name of Prince Ding, and did not recognize the legitimacy of the King of Chu.
As a wedge that has been stuck in Zheng State, Wuyang City must be the first to bear the brunt.
The reaction of the Three Jins this time is also predictable, so it is impossible for the front line of Fangcheng Lu Pass to mobilize too many troops to the front line of Yu Pass to avoid being penetrated by the Three Jins and seizing the essence of Chu.
The army in Yuguan was not large in number. Before Xiong Dang died, the Zheng people were allies of the Chu people and allies with common enemies. The Chu army stationed in Yuguan was more of an attitude.
But now the Zheng people suddenly turned against each other, and the situation at Yuguan became precarious.
The envoy came to report that the Jing family Jia and Shu family had led some of the royal troops to support the north, but it would take some time. We can only hope that Yangchengjun could rely on the Yuguan army to resist the attack of the Zheng people.
After Si Ziyang's transformation, the Zheng people had combat effectiveness. They just defeated South Korea in Huangchi a few years ago, and the troops were fierce.
Yangchengjun understood that before the reinforcements of Jing and Shu tribes arrived, they could not fight the Zheng people.
However, if Yuguan and Zheng can reach it in one or two days, it is not something he can decide whether to fight the decisive battle or not.
The Zheng people reacted very quickly this time because the Zheng people hoped to get enough benefits before the Three Jins sent troops. Anyway, the Three Jins would definitely send troops.
In the battle of Shangqiu, the Mo family defended the city and counterattacked the world and shocked. They also had weapons such as gunpowder, and had all the experience of fighting against the twelve types of sieges.
Even though Meng Sheng did not have the talent and intelligence of Mo Di to use the telegraph, the chariot, and the fire, he should still be able to defend the city.
The legitimate son of Yangchengjun came to visit Meng Sheng, hoping that Meng Sheng could come forward to organize city defense, or get enough support from the Mohist family.
Meng Sheng was hesitating because he knew the content of the alliance between the Mo family and the King of Chu. He sent someone to explain it clearly early. It was impossible for him, the person in charge of the Mo family in Chu, to know the content.
A three-year agreement will be completed in three years, and the Mohist family will help participate in the national defense of the Mihist Association and determine that the side that takes the initiative to attack is an unjust battle.
However, is the dispute over inheritance rights considered a charity war?
Meng Sheng was a little confused about this.
The legitimate son of Yangcheng Jun did not argue with Meng Sheng on whether to fight for justice, but said: "Whether this matter is irrelevant or unrighteous, the Zheng people will first send troops to invade Wuyang. You and my friends, this is for personal righteousness, not related to benefiting the world."
"Can't your friendship between you and me touch you?"
"After entering the Mo family, aren't you Meng Sheng? You have no friends? Do you have to listen to the Giant? Do you also need to get permission from your Giant?"
"Without harming the world, can't this be able to come forward to help friends?"
The friends here are real friends, not the kind of friends you assist.
During the Battle of Shangqiu, Meng Shengruo was a native of Chu, but as a disciple of the Mo family, he could already be on par with the legitimate son of Yangchengjun.
The legitimate son of Yangchengjun and Meng Sheng had known each other for a long time. They grew up together since childhood, but their situations later were different, so Meng Sheng joined the Mohist school.
In recent years, if there are any difficulties, the son of Yangchengjun will help his family more and have always treated Meng Sheng with courtesy.
Meng Sheng was vaguely moved by what he said just now.
Indeed, after all, the Zheng people sent troops first. Even if the State of Chu was not considered a Yi Shu, it could be regarded as the attacked side.
It is not to harm the world, but to come forward as your own private identity and help Yangchengjun guard Yu Pass. It seems that nothing can be done.
