Chapter 169 Shock
The Hou of Lu knew that Li Yu was good at speaking and was also aware that the Mohist spoke carefully and logically, and that it was truly a rigorous fit.
Since Li Liu said that the Mo family has not yet pursued the crime of Lu's defeat of the alliance, this time he fought against Qi State, it was not to raise the nominal princes of Si in the name of non-attacking the alliance, but to use the power of the Mo family itself. Perhaps it was as Li Liu said. As long as he insisted that he would not violate the rules of non-attacking the alliance, the Mo family would not pursue it.
Because Lu joined the right and wrong attack alliance, and when the oath was made, it did not say that it must follow the rules and standards of the Mo family. Therefore, it is just a simple military alliance rather than an ideological alliance. As long as Lu does not recognize that "the power of the state is in the people", then the Mo family will not cause trouble for Lu's country unless they want to be enemies with the whole world.
The affairs of Fei State also shocked the Queen of Lu enough.
For example, today, there are too many ambitious people, people's hearts are not as good as ever, rituals and music are broken, and there are many people who say that they benefit the world and seek personal gain.
Li Rong mentioned that the Hua Superintendent of the Song State was exactly what the Duke of Lu was worried about. The matter of Hua Superintendent was an old thing, but looking at the Fei State, Zhe Yangzi, who killed Fei Jun, shouted that he was punishing the unrighteous king for the benefit of the people. Did he really think that in his heart?
The State of Fei can have such a person, why can't the State of Lu?
It was Li Rong's words that strengthened the mind of the Lu Hou. Although the Mo family's righteousness was very disliked, at least the Mo family was a group of reasoning people, and they would never attack Lu for no reason like Qi and Yue. At least it is the case now.
After thinking about it again, he was a little worried about the oppression of the Qi army near Qufu. Li Rong said, "The Qi army must be urgent. If the horse is right, it cannot allow the Qi army to be on the Si Shui River. If he does not attack Linzi, he will return to fight with him."
"Tomorrow, the envoy of Qi will come again. The emperor can ask someone to talk to him first, saying that the food and grass are insufficient now, so he can only borrow some, and he can also make more preparations, so that the army of Qi can wait for several days to carry it."
"If the Qi people are anxious to return to Qi, they will not wait. The Qi people think we are afraid that they will be stationed near Qufu, but we invite them to station and wait, and they will be at a loss."
"As I said that day, far water cannot save the near fire. If the Qi people agree happily, then even if the Mo family may win, they will have to agree to the Qi people's conditions at this moment."
"Your Majesty must not come forward, I will discuss this."
The Marquis of Lu nodded.
The next day, the envoy of Qi came again. Li Rong asked the envoy of Qi to talk to him, and said that there was insufficient food and grass and that transportation preparations were needed. It would be better to let the army of Qi continue to station here and wait for several days.
He took advance as a retreat, and the envoy of Qi refused, obviously very impatient, and Li Rong became calculating in his heart.
On the evening of that day, several fast horses galloped to Qufu. It was the envoy sent by the Mo family. This time, the envoy of the Mo family spoke extremely harshly, especially the slaughter of Wucheng.
When the Mo family saw that the Mo family did not mention the matter of betraying the alliance, but instead questioned Wucheng for being slaughtered, he felt relieved and said to himself: "In the past, King Wen had four friends, and I had a plow, so I should be worry-free!"
So Li Liu was fully responsible for negotiating with the Mo family. Soon after, Meng Sheng's army arrived in Qufu, the Qi army left and did not dare to stay.
…………
Pingyin.
Since he broke through Pingyin, he has been paying attention to the movements of Qi, as well as the situation between Wei, Zhao, Wei, Chu, and Wei Zhongshan.
Judging from the current situation, this battle can be fought longer, and the Wei State is no longer able to interfere.
After the Battle of Nanjishui, the Mohist family had sent people to Chengyang. The Chengyang doctor was hesitant, and the Mohist family sent people to Anyi at night.
Now that Wei State is sieging Handan, Chen and Caidi have fought with Chu, Zhongshan Jun is a general and has a support from merchants, so that Mr. Wei cannot defend several cities and difficult to attack.
After the battle of Nanjishui, Shi Shi understood that as long as the public sent troops to Lu, the Sangqiu, Kangfu and other places that still belonged to Lu were able to move unobstructed.
There was the Heshui River that Fuchai had digged in the past, connecting Oyezawa, Jishui and Sishui, which made it extremely convenient for the Mohist family to rely on ships to transport grain.
With the supply stations and Yicang that had been prepared before, the army he led could at least support a long-term confrontation.
After being educated, the 50,000 captured Qi State prisoners selected some trustworthy ones to form a public security army to maintain order in cities and towns.
The nobles and doctors fled one after another, causing Qi State to completely lose its organizational ability from Onozawa along the Ji River to Pingyin.
What he is worried about now is the Linzi Legion led by Tian Qing, the last mobile field force of Qi State.
After the Battle of Nanji River, the scouts kept staring at the movements of Tian Qing's army and received daily returns.
After breaking through Pingyin, there are two choices.
Or they immediately gave up the heavy bronze cannon, the entire army was lightly equipped, and rushed to Mount Tai, Liangfu Mountain, and Yi Mountain, setting up an ambush in a valley similar to the Battle of Wu.
Either the army would carry all the equipment, slowly confront each other, rely on land reform and other policies to appease the hearts of the people, and take advantage of the external situation that Wei State could not interfere with, forcing Tian Qing to take the initiative to attack, thus revealing flaws.
Judging from the news from the scouts, Tian Qing's army was slow to move and was not in a hurry to return to Linzi. Whenever there were scouts in front of him, the ambush might not be successful.
With a firm mind, he must be foolproof.
According to common sense, Tian Qing's army should not choose to go back to Linzi through Yishan. One reason is that the road is steep and the remaining supply is insufficient. The other is that the public builder is behind. If the light cavalry is sent to harass it, it will greatly slow down the speed of the journey.
This possibility is very small, but after all, you have to prepare for it.
So he sent a main force to go through Pingyin to Mount Tai first, and went forward to the coast of Wenshui, and captured the city on the north side of Wenshui.
And let that main force first conquer Yingyi, which is Laiwu in later generations.
As long as Laiwu is captured, the Qi army will be stuck and return to Linzi. To the east is Yishan and to the northwest is Tailai Mountain. As long as Laiwu is in hand, the main force of Qi will not be able to return to Linzi.
He led about 5,000 people to cross the Qi Great Wall and conquer Lucheng along the Ji River.
Lucheng is approximately in the Changqing District of Jinan in later generations, and is very close to Pingyin, but Pingyin is the border town of Qi Great Wall, while Lucheng is just a big town in the Great Wall.
During the battle of Pingyin, Qi naturally knew the importance of Pingyin. A large number of soldiers in Lucheng were also annihilated in Pingyin, and Lucheng had no choice but to defend and could go down in an instant.
At this point, the main force of the Yishi Master was only more than 200 miles away from Linzi, and during this period, the horse was flat and there was no danger to defend.
The passage to march into Linzi has been completely opened. Now no matter what decision Tian Qing makes, he is already in a passive state: if the Mo family wants to attack Linzi, they can divide a few troops in Laiwu and meet with Gongzaoye; if they don’t want to attack Linzi, they can also defend Pingyin, so that the army can gather on the Wenshui front line, waiting for the outbreak of civil turmoil in Qi, forcing Tian Qing to take the initiative to attack.
After entering Lucheng, the people were not panicked and the market was as usual. Obviously, they had heard about the Mohist actions in Jishui.
In a courtyard of a noble family in the city, there was the field hospital of the Mohist Yishi. There were a few large pots outside, and water was boiled inside. The white cotton cloth was boiled in the water to disinfect.
On the long bamboo poles, rows of cloth strips are placed on the drying.
Lime was sprinkled everywhere in the courtyard, and a strong smell of wine drifted away in the distance.
There were often bursts of crying sounds inside, mixed with Qi language, Si Shang and other local dialects, which sounded miserable.
In front of a bed, two strong men from the army pressed a person with injured legs tightly. The man had a wooden stick in his mouth, like a horse chewing.
The man made a whimpering sound, his eyes widened, and he looked at a saw in his hand in a man wearing a white witch suit and a mask next to him.
The man's legs were already a little ulcerated, and the smelly pus kept flowing out.
The man holding a saw in his hand was Qin Yue, who followed the battle this time, responsible for the treatment of wounded people here, disease prevention and epidemic prevention and other work.
The Qin Yue people were also considered to be Qi people, and grew up in Lucheng. Bian Que was the name given to him by the people of the world after he became famous. In fact, it was just like the names of Li Guang and Sai Rengui in later legendary novels. Bian Que was a famous doctor in ancient times at this time, and many people called him Bian Que.
Now Changsangjun is old. In the past ten years, Qin Yue people have learned most of Changsangjun's skills, and have some theories of the remaining eras here, as well as many wounded surgeries. Qin Yue people's medical skills are better than before.
Now he was holding a saw, and behind him were a few young men wearing witch suits dressed like him, approaching very close.
Qin Yue took a deep breath and nodded at the strong man who pressed the injured person's legs beside him. The two strong men were familiar with the way, and knew that the man would not be able to hold him down immediately, so he increased his strength.
Qin Yueren stared at the wounded man and chose the position to lower the saw. After carefully cleaning it with strong wine, he placed the saw on the man's leg bone.
The sound of creaking sawing bones kept coming out, and the young ink people who were observing and studying were sweating on their heads and dared not look at them, but Qin Yue people were normal.
The injured person who was pressed down could no longer hold on and finally fainted after sweating.
In the tool box next to it, the most advanced surgical tools at this time are: saw, chisel, knife, large needle, twine...
After being busy for a long time, he finally sawed off the man's legs and stopped the blood. Only then did the Qin Yue people wipe the sweat.
After drinking a few sips of water, he turned around and said to the disciples who were studying and observing, "If it were not necessary, he could not do this. But if he did not do his injuries, he would definitely die. Now that his legs were cut off, he would only survive in five or five, but it was better than ulceration and death."
Many disciples who watched the saw legs up close for the first time were pale faces. Qin Yue people sighed: "The person I just treated was the Qi people guarding the city. I recognize him, and he also recognizes me. When I was in Lucheng many years ago, I was neighbors with him."
"Our Mohist family says that everyone is equal. We doctors should understand this principle better than others. Who can escape from birth, old age, sickness and death? Princes and nobles, common people are all equal."
"A few days ago, I heard that many people were slaughtered by Wucheng and thought it was not right to save these Qi people who fought to death by defending the city."
"I don't need to say too many truths. I just say that if you want to be a doctor, you must have a kind heart. In the eyes of the doctor, everyone will be equal. If your eyes are blinded by hatred, you cannot be a doctor."
"Besides, there are many people in the world who say that our Mo family has no king or father, are worse than beasts. Looking at us with their righteousness, we are beasts. We can see the man who ordered the city to be slaughtered, and he is also worse than beasts in our righteousness."
"Beasts eat people, and people can eat animals. But people must not eat people just because animals eat people. Have you remembered it?"
All the disciples nodded. When Qin Yue was about to go back and sort out, he hurriedly came to report that there was something urgent to ask him to go.
When he left the door, the Qin Yue people asked why they were so in a hurry? The man whispered: "The news came from Si that Qin Zi suddenly became seriously ill. Changsang Jun was old and could not do it personally. Please go back to Pengcheng quickly."
Qin Yue people were stunned and knew that this was a big deal. Changsang Jun was old and could not handle some diseases himself. Before he went to war with the army this time, the birds were still healthy.
But in the end, Qin Huali and Mo Zi are both teachers and friends. The two are not very different in age. It is normal for the disease to break out after they are old, and no one can escape it.
