Chapter 323 How is it as before to use strength to restore the country (2)

The key to resolving control of Sishui Peng Pei and other places by relying on the war against Vietnam is not to control Teng State, but to destroy the mobile field forces of Yue State's subsequent counterattack.

Relying on Qi's deterrence and Wu's nobles, he forced Yue to retreat south. If he did not retreat south, he would have to fight against the Mo family and Qi when his hometown was lost. King Yi of Yue was also a wise ruler, and he could not choose this path of death.

After listening to the appropriate plan, Mozi praised: "It is good to plan. In the name of the restoration of the old nobles of Teng State, the people of Teng State were saved to benefit them. The Yue people could not directly attack Song State, so even if they sent troops, they would only attack Teng's territory."

"How long does it take to strengthen the city defense of the vineyard with your garrison in Niu Lanyi, and with the tools and manpower here in Pei County?"

This is the Mo family's nest, which is naturally incomparable to the Niu Lanyi place.

There must be people, tools, people's hearts, and organizational.

Shi roughly calculated and said, "Three months is enough. The Yue people have no cannons, and their means of siege... are just that."

Mo Zi smiled. When Gongshang had been You Yue, King Yue attached so much importance to the Mo family because the Gongshu Ban improved weapons, warships and siege methods, so the Yue people had no power to fight back downstream of the Huai River.

Moreover, the level of chariots and soldiers in Yue State was very poor, and the elite were the infantrymen of the Gentleman Army. Even if the Mo family chose to fight the Yue people on the plains, they might not lose to the Yue people.

If we can really rely on Tengdi and build city defense, the Yue Kingdom should not be able to get a bargain.

Qin Huali heard this and said, "Since this is the case, we need to hoard grain, prepare weapons, and practice quickly. In addition, we must contact the old nobles of Teng Kingdom, and at the same time we must go to Qi Kingdom to meet the Tian brothers."

"After all this, we will also send troops next spring. This period depends on the situation of the dispute between Jin and Chu. If the Jin people still insist on entering the prince's decision, then Jin and Chu Zheng will not be involved in the Qi people, and Qi people can also intimidate Yue."

Shi nodded and said, "Only the same thing, we need to clear it. The matter of restoring the country may not be beneficial to the world. Instead, it is necessary to promote the rules and technologies of the Mohist family in Tengdi, which is considered beneficial to the world."

"Teng Shuyu contacted the old Gui in Teng. These people need to contact each other, after all, they also need to borrow their bloodline. But they also need to be careful... If you don't tell them what to do after restoring the country, we can't help them restore the country, and they also need to have fiefdoms and land. How can we benefit the people in Teng? It's nothing more than changing the Yue people to Teng Gui, and there is no difference."

Everyone naturally understood the difference and smiled and said, "This is natural. If we can't tell the difference, wouldn't our Mo family be no different from those warlike kings?"

Mo Zi thought for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, the affairs of Peixian County are now stable, and there is no accident. He also said that the 'salt method' can benefit the world, and at the same time, it also makes our Mo family profit."

"Besides, since Hu Lin needs to burn ash and get alkali on the seaweed by the sea, this time he will go to Qi State, so he will take his people there. How about it?"

The salt drying method has been talked about for several years, but I didn’t have the opportunity to perform it before. In addition, I had already decided to compete with the country for the Si Shui and Huai River from the hands of Yue, so it was impossible to choose to do this in Yue.

The economy of Qi was developed, and the Tian brothers destroyed the policy of official mountains and seas in the Guanzhong era. The Guanzi School was very powerful in Qi, which was suitable for the Mohist school to engage in large-scale handicrafts such as "officials are divided into three, and wealthy people are won seven."

Although there are rumors that Susha family began to dry salt in the Shennong era, it is estimated that this should be a legend. At this time, people did not know much about using solar energy to reduce the consumption of firewood.

Even though there are many barren mountains at this time, the method of cooking salt is still expensive. The Mohist school needs not only its own salt, but also subsequently develops seaweed ash such as 王子 glass, and also needs to prepare for development to the beach.

But Shi was not willing to do this.

If he traveled to Qi State, it would take at least another year. He didn't want to leave the Mo family's foundation for too long. Besides... Mozi was a little old, and when he left at this time, Shi was worried that Mozi would not be around.

Although everyone knows that this matter is of great significance, there are too few people who know it directly compared to the war against Vietnam and subsequent construction.

This matter was both Mo Zi's suggestion and Mo Zi's considerations. Lobbying and adapting to the changes and technological changes is the best candidate.

After thinking about it, he said, "Jiuzi, it is not appropriate for me to go there. I suggest that Hu Feizi go there."

"First of all, Hu Feizi's Qi people had an old age with Chen Tian. After Hu Gongman and Gongzi Fei, they regarded Hu Fei as their clan and Chen Tian were considered their own family. Chen Tian was destroyed, and Hu Feizi's ancestors moved to Qi, and Hu Feizi also had a reputation in Linzi."

"Secondly, I don't need to do the methods of drying salt, grass, ash in person. I can explain the principles clearly to the craftsmen and train some ink masters. They can do this well, and it cannot be done overnight."

"Third, how to cooperate with firearms and stirrup cavalry? How to form a formation? I have a little idea. It is better for me to stay here than to go to Qi to do this."

After saying the reason, Mo Zi thought about it and said, "Well, that's right, but Hu Feizi's bible is not as good as you. When I talk about this, I thought of you first, but I forgot that there seems to be less of you."

Hearing Mo Zi say this, Shi was secretly happy and hurriedly added: "Hu Feizi went to Linzi here, and he also experienced the battle of Niu Lanyi, so he can do some things by the way."

"You can go to Linzi slowly. You can pass through Yueguo from Teng, pass through the Yuedu Langya, and enter Qi with great fanfare."

"At that time, Gongshang had been You Yue, and many Mo people had met Yue King. They could just test the truth of Yue people... It would also be fine, so that Yue people thought... the matter of Teng Fuguo was conspiring with us!"

After he finished speaking, Mo Zi immediately understood and smiled and said, "Wonderful!"

This time when we go to Qi, it is not to induce Qi to attack the Yue people. Qi is currently unable to expand outside for the time being, so it can only be a "deterrent".

Mozi thought, if as he said that the Mo family was asked to pass through Langya, the capital of Yue, and enter Qi, and then the Mo family suddenly attacked Teng land here, what would the Yue Congress think?

Yue will inevitably think that Qi is the one who is the driving force behind it, and at least it also feels that Qi is aware of the situation. Even if Qi does nothing, the blame will be taken.

Langya is next to Qi State, and Yue people cannot ignore the movements of Qi State. At that time, they will be divided into troops to guard against Qi State, and the number of Yue people going to Teng Land will not be too large.

After all, it is unlikely that the King of Yue should attach too much importance to the Mo family, and Qi State was still a great country under the head of Yue people. There were also the humiliation of participating in the competition and the resentment of the two cities a few years ago.

After the rest of the people present also found out the smell, Qin Huali said: "Well, I think of a plan too."

"Having Hu Feizi guarded Niu Lanyi with Shi and Meng Sheng, he also knew about the battle situation in Niu Lanyi. The incident of relying on our books also spread throughout Linzi early, and Qi must use this to guard against the border town."

"Qi and the Three Jins have an alliance and cannot build the Great Wall in Pingyin section. However, the people of Qi want to use the Mohist city-defense techniques and city-defense equipment for threats to the Yue people."

"From Jucheng to Langya, the Qi people have always been worried that the Yue people will go north. This is also a saying that can convince Tian's family."

"If the Qi people only built a defensive city wall, this is also a proof of the Yue people's eyes that we work together to reconstruct Teng land. At that time, the Yue people will inevitably panic and cannot give up Langya and go to Teng land."

The Great Wall of Qi State was built early. Before the battle between the three Jins in Linqiu and the three Jins attacked Qi, the alliance clearly stipulated that the Great Wall of Pingyin section should not be maintained, in order to facilitate the Jin people's next attack.

The Qi people have not yet recovered their vitality, so they must abide by this condition and dare not violate it. However, the capital of Yue State, Langya, is not within the scope of the alliance, and it is only a few dozen miles away from Langya. It is the Great Wall that Qi State has heavily defended.

Even if Qi State only has defensive actions, Yue people will feel uncomfortable.

Although there was no stronghold in the Mo family in Langya, the King of Yue might not know about the battle in Niu Lanyi, but... the King of Yue and the Mo family had old things, which is a good thing to say.

If he doesn't know, then tell him.

In this way, when Qi State built a city wall, Yue people would think that this was Mo's helping, and that was helping Qi people complete the defenses like Niu Lanyi. How could they not panic at that time?

Hu Feizi was able to accomplish this, regardless of his background, qualifications, or experience, and the appropriate proposal was approved by everyone.

After confirming that Hu Feizi went north to Linzi, he went to Teng with some people to check the situation in Teng land, and met Teng Shuyu and other old nobles in Teng Kingdom.

It is not difficult for the Mo family to capture Teng land. Not to mention that now, even when there were only hundreds of Mo people a few years ago, as long as the nobles of Teng land cooperated, it would be easy to defeat the guards of Yue people. It was just that they could not stop the counterattack and revenge of Yue Kingdom before.

Furthermore, in a reasonable opinion, it would be better to die if these old nobles of Teng Kingdom died. It would be okay to leave only a few of the most tucked puppets, so this requires the Mo family to have sufficient military strength.

The capital of Teng Kingdom is not far from Pei County, and it is only a hundred miles east from near Teng Township. It has the same language and familiarity with people. Moreover, Teng Kingdom is just a country of hundreds of miles.

The group approached Tengcheng within two days and watched from a distance. The city of Teng Kingdom was not big or high.

Not to mention a big city like Shangqiu that is as high as ten meters and expands the city walls at its peak without violating the etiquette system, even Luyang is not comparable to Tengcheng.

After careful observation, the circumference of the city wall is probably about eight miles away, and there is an inner city inside.

The city walls were not very high, and the nobles were not very cooperative under the rule of the Yue people. They had not repaired them for more than ten years, so the rammed earth structure was easy to climb.

Tengcheng is similar to most cities at this time. In the northwest corner, it is the cemetery of the nobles of Teng Kingdom. After all, the north is the country where the soul returns.

Jinghe and Xiaojinghe surround Tengcheng from the northeast corner. There is a moat outside the city wall on the west side, so there is no other defense facilities.

After looking at the soil of the city wall, I felt that it would be very easy to break through the city.
