Chapter 200 Capture the Army (Part 2)

Trapped here, what Tian Wu is thinking about is the intrigues in the palace.

Because of his father's letter, there is only one solution to the problem of the Mo family's unrighteous order: let Tian Wu go back to ascend the throne as soon as possible, and Tian He will give up the position of lord and marquis. Anyway, his heartache and illness are hard to cure. The only Changsang Jun and his disciples who can cure are all in the Mo family on Si Shang, and their lives are not long.

Since this is the case, it is better to consider family inheritance and let your son succeed to the throne.

Tian Wu understood what his father meant.

Tian Wu is now a young master. The young master can be killed, but the king cannot.

A king can be killed or died in a battle formation, but he cannot be judged by a person like a shoemaker who is not the overlord and does not have the authorization of the Zhou emperor. That is a declaration of war on the order of the world, and it is also the only way to ask the Zhou emperor to come forward to suppress the Mo family.

The Emperor of Zhou is just a shit now, and no princes take him seriously, but they can still be pulled out when needed.

The king made a mistake and could not kill, but could only kill the people around him to replace him.

In terms of law, only the Zhou emperor was qualified to kill the marquis after the trial, especially the Duke of Qi who had the power to conquer the enemy. The Zhou emperor cooked the Duke of Qi, and the Qi people only dared to vent their anger on the small country that had been provoked for nine generations.

When the Marquis of Wei made a mistake, he was tried by Duke Wen of Jin, was beaten to defend and killed his substitute, but the Marquis of Wei was safe and sound. Tian He felt that the Mo family would not even completely break this rule.

To judge a marquis and then kill him is equivalent to a Mo family proclaiming to the world: I want to be the emperor.

This is much more serious than the question of Uncle Zheng, King of Chu, and Jin Wen's invitation.

But the key is, how to go back?

It is definitely not possible to go back alone. Linzi army is outside, and he goes back alone. His cousin is extremely powerful, and it is easy to kill him at that time.

To destroy relatives for justice is for great virtue. If a cousin really takes power, he can endure the pain of destroying relatives and handing him over to the hands of the Mo family, it is impossible to say: brotherhood, friendship, hierarchy, order of superiority, order of inferiority? Cong Tian He exiled Jiang Qi, Gongsun Sun was killed in civil strife, and Xiang Ziniu's mutiny was exiled, no one in Qi has valued these things.

Earlier, since the struggle between the princes in the Qi Huan era, the nobles themselves had broken the etiquette and rules that best protected themselves and silently warmth.

Tian Wu understood that if he wanted to live, he had to go back, and he had to bring some elite soldiers back.

After going back, without saying a word, he will first coup and kill his cousin, so that he can be foolproof.

It is best to start at the banquet where my cousin welcomes him back, as it may change if he drags on it.

When things developed to this point, Tian Wu could only ask for help from Tian Qing again, but it was very difficult to convince Tian Qing.

He Tian Wu can go back to the coup and succeed to the throne as the king, so as to force the Mo family to not dare to execute the death penalty, but what should Tian Qing do?

At that time, there will always be someone responsible for the slaughter of Wucheng. Who will be responsible? Who dares to be responsible?

If Tian Wu is not dead, the Mo family will definitely catch a scapegoat, and a scapegoat with enough weight to give the world an explanation.

It is impossible to kill the two sinful heads of the Immortal Order.

Tian Qing had no other way, the only way was to defeat the main force of the Mo family, or delay until the situation in the world turned around: for example, the Wei and Han alliance of forces interfered in Si Shang, which may be his only way to survive.

When the two were in Wucheng, their interests were consistent: if Tian Wu could take office, Tian Qing would definitely be reused, and both sides hit it off.

But now, the two have different interests in the face of life and death.

Tian Wu is still young, and Tian Qing has been immersed in the conspiracy of the nobles for so long, and it is impossible for him to not even see this problem.

Tian Qing wanted to delay. It would take until the world would change. It would delay until next year, and the Mo family would have to withdraw its troops.

Tian Wu wants to go back, but he can't wait for a moment. Don't say that the New Year is impossible, even winter is impossible.

He would not go, Tian Shan took office and righteousness was in hand. The Linzi Legion took into account his family in Linzi and could not obey his command anymore: the land trapped in the hundred miles is not his fiefdom, and he has no basic foundation.

Both of them have their own ulterior motives, but it is impossible to speak so thoroughly on the surface. They must use some high-sounding reasons to find a suitable excuse for their own route.

In the military tent, the generals stood around, and the commander Tian Qing looked like a country, and explained: "Young Master, it's not that I don't worry about the king, it's not that I don't worry about the national affairs. Those who know me say I'm worried about me; those who don't know me say I want what I want? What I worry about is the king and the country of Tian."

"If you win the battle with Laiwu, the best way to defend the city, and attack but not to descend, the army will be stationed under the strong city, and the Mo family's army will come out from Liang's father and surrounded it, and our army will be defeated."

"Now the Mo family has broken the Great Wall and obtained Lu City. The troops are in the lower house. From Li to Linzi, there are no dangers to defend. They are all fertile fields and fields. The reason why the horse did not capture Linzi was because the tens of thousands of troops in the hands of Gongzi and Qing were here."

"If the army is annihilated and Linzi City is here, who can defend it?"

This is the reason he said, and this reason is indeed impossible to refute.

Tian Wu originally wanted to talk to Tian Qing about this matter closely, but Tian Qing keenly realized the danger and turned the secret meeting into an "enlarged meeting", convened all the generals and made the matter public in front of everyone.

All the generals are not mediocre people. Tian Qing's words are reasonable. They naturally agree with Tian Qing's ideas, and it is indeed the case.

When fighting Laiwu, the generals had no courage. When Niu Lan fought against Mr. Wei, he was so good at fighting, but he still didn't defeat Niu Lan, who was thousands of people. Now the Mo family has tens of thousands, how can they fight Laiwu?

By then, Laiwu will not be able to conquer the rear, and the army will be destroyed. Linzi will still be able to defend Linzi? Isn’t the Mo family not fighting Linzi now because the tens of thousands of mobile corps are still there and they dare not take the risk of being conquer the rear to attack Linzi?

What Tian Qing wanted was to be upright and everyone involved to suppress Gong Ziwu's idea.

These are all reasonable words. In front of everyone, those conspiracies and tricks about the noble court are not easy to explain. Tian Qing wanted everyone to force Tian Wu to agree to him stay here and wait for countries to mediate the world's changing strategies.

Tian Wu is still young and is far inferior to Tian Qing when it comes to politics. He was caught off guard by this "enlarged meeting".

But he immediately retorted: "So what should we do according to the public opinion? If we don't attack Laiwu, will we have to wait here?"

"The food and grass that the people of Shandong agreed to have not arrived for a long time, and the three urgings were just shirking the blame."

"The army in Ju did not dare to move lightly. The Mo family Xi Liu has landed in Jiaodong and can enter the Great Wall from Langya at any time."

"The army that was built by the public is in Lu. The mobs of Fei Kingdom joined the army one after another, and there were tens of thousands of them. It was no less than the front of the Thieves. This place was a dead place and should not be kept for a long time."

Tian Wu snorted, "No. There are still hundreds of miles here. In the past, Shang Tang used hundreds of miles to determine the world, and Goujian used hundreds of miles to strengthen his strength and return. A town of a hundred miles can also protect the country."

"Strictly ordered the collection of grain, no purchase or sale, no hiding private goods, and as long as the autumn harvest is reached, it can be supported."

"If the Mo family attacks, we will defend it. Although the Mo family is strong, it cannot last long. When the Wei and Han army arrives, the Mo family will withdraw their troops."

Tian Wu sneered: "Where is the Wei and Han army? What if the Wei and Han army were not there?"

"You don't know how the Mohist family can govern! Now the north of Wenshui is under 'land reform'. In less than a year, from Xue Ling to Liangfu, the city of 500 miles and the people of 200,000 belong to the Mohist family."

"The Mo family can raise seven divisions by relying on Si Shang. How many divisions can we raise if we get the Wenshui River and the rich Jishui River? How can we fight at that time?"

"The detailed work that was killed yesterday has spread a lot of the "land reform" of the Wenshui River and Ji River, and the morale of the army is fluctuating. Many soldiers were captured in the battle of the most attacks that year. They had no hatred for the Mo family. If they delayed, how could they fight?"

"The army went on a war, and both parents and wives were in Linzi. The army was determined to return, and there were many people singing "Picking Wei". The soldiers were afraid that they would rather die on the road to return home than to continue waiting here!"

Speaking of this, Tian Wu became even more angry and said angrily: "If it is not my race, their hearts will be different! The surname of Wei and Han is not Chen. If they are really trustworthy, what was the Wei and Han alliance in Chengyang doing during the Jishui War? Now the Mo family occupies more than 20 cities and the troops are dispersed. Can the Wei and Han alliance be moved?"

"If Wei and Han do not move, then the Mo family troops will arrive in Linzi, Linzi will suffer war and the parents and wives in the army will suffer wars. Is it tolerant?"

Seeing this, Tian Qing sneered and asked, "Young Master's words are praised. Have I ever said that I don't want to go back to Linzi?"

"But, the young master said so much, I will only ask one question, how can I go back?"

"I said I could not fight Laiwu because Laiwu is the only way back to Linzi. If the young master had a way, he would not fight Laiwu and could return to Linzi. Wouldn't I obey?"

"You have said so much, but you don't mention a word of military strategy. I only ask you, how do you go back to Linzi? How do you go back?"

Tian Wu wanted to secretly change the ulterior motives between him and Tian Qing in front of everyone to "Tian Qing doesn't want to go back to Linzi". When the time comes, the morale of the army will fluctuate and you will be able to do it.

However, Tian Qing was immersed in conspiracy for many years and was the old aristocrat. He received the most orthodox aristocrat education. The nobles who did not engage in conspiracy were not qualified aristocrats. Moreover, the silly and sweet aristocrats died in the spring and autumn. He immediately realized Tian Wu's sinister intentions and immediately refuted them.

The key to his rebuttal was: It’s not that I don’t want to go back to Linzi, but that I stared at Laiwu because I wanted to go back to Linzi. But Laiwu cannot fight. If I fight, the Mohist family may surround us, so what I oppose is to fight Laiwu.

If you, Tian Wu, have any solutions, can bring the army back without attacking Laiwu, of course I am happy. But you can't say that I don't want to go back to Linzi, and don't try to make the soldiers in the army resent me.

Tian Wu was young after all, and was speechless for a while. Tian Qing caught the flaws and attacked fiercely, but he couldn't resist it for a while.

When he asked Tian Qing for a secret talk, Tian Qing told him that the matter was related to the country and the public, he knew that he could not persuade Tian Qing.

The reason why he said those words was exactly what Tian Qing guessed, and he wanted the news to spread, causing the morale of the army to fluctuate, and thus prepare for something.

But unexpectedly, Tian Qingyuan was more sensitive than he thought and immediately expressed his attitude that he did not want to go back to Linzi, which was a bit difficult to do.

Before this, the idea that Tian Wu's counselor gave him was like this.

If you can tell Tian Qing, then tell him.

If he is not told, he will use his soldiers' desire to return home and miss their relatives to incite mutiny, seize the tiger talisman, assassinate Tian Qing, and seize military power.

Then he attacked Laiwu with his main force and sent them to death in the name of returning home, attracting the attention of the Mo family. He led his close confidants, more than 10,000 elite soldiers, abandoned his troops to protect the commander, went to Yimeng Mountain to meet the soldiers from Ju, rushed straight to Linzi, killed Tian Shan, forced Tian He, and made plans after taking office.

Is it mediation? Is it a desperate situation? Is it open the treasury to buy people's hearts to protect Linzi? Or is it retreating to Jiaodong to force the situation in the world to change drastically?

This is something to consider later. Because if you don’t bring the elite back to Linzi, you will lose nothing and don’t have to think about it. It’s better to think about sleeping more women before you die, eating more venison, eating something, drinking something, and waiting to be shot.

This plan is very consistent with Tian Wu's wishes.

The worst thing is that he retreated to Jiaodong, forcing changes in the world: the princes of the Central Plains were not allowed to occupy most of the Qi State, and the Mo family was shocked by aggressive land reform. The worst thing is that he retreated to Jiaodong, he could let the princes send troops to interfere.

But it would be meaningful to retreat to Jiaodong, Tian Wu, who retreated for the Duke of Qi, otherwise, if someone else would be dead.
