Shi also reminded: "This kind of thing requires everyone to swear. You need to prepare a list, which is also considered... the purpose of future merit evaluation. If you don't swear, you will be uneven and may not be able to accomplish anything."

Teng Shuyu also hurriedly agreed.

Shixin said that with the organizational ability of these down-and-out nobles and old nobles, it is difficult to accomplish things, so they must leak the news.

Under the temptation of merit, we may have to get up early. At that time, we may use the Yue people to kill a wave of nobles, or wait until the list is determined in the future and then slowly clear it.

The Mo family wanted to capture Teng Kingdom, but after doing so, they did not need to rely on internal support and could easily open the city walls and gates.

Getting the simplest.

What is difficult is future governance, future remarks with the princes of the world, and how to use the hands of the Yue people to clean up the existing old nobles who wanted to get the privilege of restoring the country.

These old nobles did not dare to engage in Yue State because the Yue State had a strong military force and were not sure whether these nobles would engage in the Mo family in the future if they found that they were incompatible with the Mo family.

Then, it is not impossible to come up with some explanations, and to go to Chu and Lu to join the original Dukes of Teng, and it is not impossible to return with the help of foreign interference troops. It is always good to prepare early.

After dinner, someone came forward to speak to the owner of Jite, asking someone to take Jite back first.

A few days later, he stayed in Teng City and observed the city wall defense. The morale and military preparation of the Yue people carefully measured the soil near the city wall, drew it into a picture, and secretly closed it.

Before leaving, he asked Teng Shuyu to go back to Pei County with him, collect some of the spear weapons and hide them in the city for future work.

…………

It was September when I returned to Pei County after all this.

Hu Feizi had already taken his men to set out and went to Langya to visit King Yue first, and then went to Linzi in front of King Yue Qi's Great Wall, so as to borrow the deterrence of Qi to make the Yue Kingdom dare not devote the whole country to attack the future Teng land.

Before leaving, in addition to carrying some materials, jade, he also carried a sufficient amount of iron and some gunpowder to use it as an argument to convince Tian.

Sometimes words are really useless without weapons. Even if you convince others, the weapon will be able to show its power, which is enough to be more powerful than a thousand words.

Just a few days after returning to Pei County, news came from Zheng State that the situation in the Central Plains has really developed as "speculated" and the situation in the world is becoming more and more conducive to the Mohist family's recent trouble in Sishui.

At the end of last year, Weiss stepped forward to reconcile the conflict between Zheng and Han families. Zheng State withdrew from Yangdi, South Korea, and the two sides signed an armistice agreement.

The State of Wei sent an envoy to celebrate the new monarchs of Han and Zhao, and hoped to discuss the alliance between the Three Jins together, and Zhao was not interested in this.

The king of Qin was changed, and the Wei people also sent people to pay condolences and celebrate. Wu Qi no longer took the initiative to attack Qin in Xihe, and both sides seemed to have won a short-term peace for the time being.

However, the conflict between the old nobles and the nobles of other surnames in Qin was getting bigger and bigger. The new king was young and could not control the national affairs at all. Chaos in Qin was about to break out.

By May this year, the Marquis of Wei sent people to Pei County, and agreed to purchase a large number of weapons and gunpowder, and repeatedly reiterated that the State of Wei had always had the idea of ​​resolute wars in the world, but the King of Chu was not in a proper position, and expelling the King of Chu was a righteous act in the world. I hope that the Mo family clearly hoped that the whole world would be able to resolute wars in the world and would not have conflicts.

Almost at the same time, the ruling Siziyang of Zheng State also sent people to Pei County, saying sincerely, hoping that the Mo family would come forward as an envoy to communicate their relationship with Chu State. Zheng State could return Yu Pass and request Chu State to stop the army.

At the same time, for the future consideration, a batch of defensive firearms were booked with part of the copper, hoping that the Mohist family could come forward to help repair the city walls of Zhengdu and the walls of important cities in the fiefdom of Siziyang, in order to defend the counterattack of Chu.

In June, the King of Chu used the Niu Lanyi that the Jin-Zheng coalition forces entered the prince but failed, and received the support of some fence-sected princes in the Chu State. At the same time, he sent someone to tell the Mo family: Zheng State is unrighteous, and he did not want to abide by the alliance of Mixing, but he could not be beaten and did not fight back. Moreover, the Mo family promised that the Three Jins would also join the Mixing Association, but now the Three Jins are reluctant to join. Chu State said that if the Three Jins do not join the Mixing Association, the Chu State would also withdraw.

Afterwards, the Nanliang Jun led 50,000 Chu troops to the north and sued Zheng.

In July, he entered Zheng State from the southern part of Yuguan and crossed the Xiashi River.

Si Ziyang recruited 40,000 Zheng troops from Zhengdu, led by the eight Mu nobles including Zima, Zichi, Zifeng, etc. to fight against the Chu people.

Si Ziyang personally wrote a letter and asked the King of Nanliang to fight in a dignified and upright formation. The King of Nanliang accepted it and the commander of the army approached the Zheng people.

However, before the formation was made, the followers of Dazai Xin and others in Zheng State were clamoring and inciting the Zheng army.

Dazai Xin and Si Ziyang were political enemies. This time the situation in Zheng State was entirely caused by Si Ziyang. The Zheng people themselves were extremely dissatisfied with the war with Chu State.

Originally, Si Ziyang's plan was to use the conflict between Jin and Chu and the prince to set the card, to open up the situation on both sides, solve the threat from South Korea, and to expand the land in the eastern Chu State.

However, when Han Hou died in Yangdi, the situation suddenly became ugly.

As soon as Zhao Hou Hou died, Han Han announced his resignation for three years, temporarily withdrew from the war against Chu and continued to wait and see. All the anger of Chu State had to be vented on Zheng State. Wei State could only take a defensive moment, and the situation of Zheng State became increasingly ugly.

Si Ziyang's strict rule and excessive punishment also made the people of Zheng miserable.

After years of war, he had been in conflict with Chu to resist South Korea. He suddenly declared war on Chu and now he was retaliated against Chu. The people of the country were extremely dissatisfied.

If Si Ziyang's previous plan was successful, the Si Ziyang family's status in Zheng State would be unshakable.

However, the situation changed, and the political enemies immediately united and prepared to take this opportunity to completely kill Si Ziyang, including the current Duke Zheng.

So under the joint efforts of the remaining eight Mus who had a dispute with Si Ziyang, Zheng Jun and the Zheng army began to mutiny and defect before they even made arrangements.

Dazai Xin secretly sent people to inform the people of Chu that as long as Si Ziyang was killed, he was willing to ced the cities to Chu State and expel the prince. Zheng Chu could sign an alliance, and Zheng State would no longer be close to the Three Jins.

Under the instigation of "refusing to fight against Chu", as well as some of the Dazai Xin and Zheng Gong's party members, and the tacit consent of Zheng State's general, the 40,000 Zheng army fled directly to the city.

The city of Wucheng is an ancient Wu Kingdom. It was originally a feudal state that existed in the Shang Dynasty. It was after Zhurong and was later destroyed by Zheng Kingdom.

The city of Zhuang was only fifty miles away from the capital of Zheng State. Forty thousand Zheng troops did not fight in one battle. After fleeing into Zhuang City, the Liangjun of Chu Nan surrounded Zhuang City and threatened Zheng City. The Zheng people did not dare to fight.

There were signs of chaos in Zheng. Seeing that the situation was not good, the prince led his retainers to avoid Si Ziyang's suspicion, fled from Zheng, and rushed to Wei.

The State of Wei accepted Prince Ding and declared to the outside world that she was the legal heir of Chu.

Although at this point, the city of Wu had not been broken by the Chu people and was only besieged, it was inevitable that Zheng State withdraws from the war.

The Wei State accepted Prince Ding, which means that Wei State will use all its energy to seek a battle to resolve the problems of Chu State.

After this victory, the fence-ridden princes stood firmly on the side of the King of Chu. Chu seemed to have the strength to fight with Wei.

South Korea is temporarily truce, Wei seems to be weak, and Chu is even more unlikely to stop the war at this time. Long-term wars around the fertile lands of the Central Plains such as Zheng and Daliang are inevitable.
