Chapter 235: Receiving Zen and Painting a Gourd (1)
When the news of Tian Wu appeared in the Yishui area, the war in Yingyi was coming to Yingyi, and the battle in Yingyi was coming to an end.
This was a battle without suspense. The Qi army, who had no intention of fighting, had no results in attacking Yingyi for several days. They dug a trench and were counterattacked. The soldiers were full of despair about this battle.
The righteous army, carrying the aftermath of the battle of Nanjishui, defeated Pingyang City for several days, the excitement of the last battle, and the most important discipline, training, and weapons that opened up the gap in the twenty years made this battle almost have no highlights.
It is applicable to the simplest and most commonly used tactics that are easy to be seen, and to take advantage of the maneuverability of cavalry and horizontal infantry to surround the two wings first. However, even if you know this simple tactic, the Qi army still has no way to crack it.
More than 500 nobles with more than sergeants were captured, eight thousand Qi troops were killed in battle, more than 40,000 Qi troops surrendered, and more than 100 nobles or soldiers committed suicide.
The thirty years old are gone, and the spirit of the youthful years he was. Compared with Xiang Yu, who raised an army to destroy Qin at the age of twenty or twenty a hundred years later, he joined the Mo family for twenty years before he barely defeated a Qi country.
But he was still very satisfied. After all, he never thought of comparing with those geniuses that flashed in the historical starry sky.
After this battle, Qi State no longer had a mobile corps and no ability to fight in the field. As long as the world situation allows, the Mo family could stay in Qi State as long as they want, and where they want to attack the city of Qi State.
Facing the soldiers who were counting prisoners all over the mountains, Shi said to the officers: "The matter of prisoners is not a trivial matter, and you must pay attention to it."
"Thank you, if it weren't for him, how could you gather tens of thousands of people together? How could you promote the morality of the Mohist school in the most efficient way without gathering these tens of thousands of people together?"
"On weekdays, common people live in villages, just like potatoes in the field. If you want to make them out, you have to dig them one by one. Tens of thousands of people may need hundreds of ink masters to preach morality. Now, dozens of people and more than a hundred are enough, and the effect is better."
"So, the cruel and dirty nobles are full-time revolutionaries; those kings and princes who gathered the scattered people in the army in order to launch an unjust war are the best friends of Xuanyi's tribe..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the messenger who came from Yishui passed the news to Shi.
Shi looked at the news on the note and frowned. The news on the note was the news that Tian Wu appeared on the banks of the Yishui River.
A brigade's soldiers could not stop eight thousand people. I felt that the Mo people in the brigade decided to intercept the matter in Yishui.
Rules, the decision that the brigade had first held a meeting of the Mozhe before making. Although it violated the above order, it was OK because the basic information of the above order was incorrect.
But he must make a quick decision on how to resolve this matter.
There is no doubt that Yu Tu's brigade could not stop the Eight Thousand Qi army. After all, each brigade has never had the experience of fighting alone. It is generally group combat. With the cooperation between various troops, each brigade is basically a separate chess piece.
But how many days can I defend? It depends on Yu Tu's level. But even if I send troops to march urgently now, it will take at least a few days.
He didn't care where Tian Wu ran. As long as the battle of Win Yi ended, Qi would be a weak soft persimmon, and he would pinch whatever he wanted. And now that thing has come, the order to punish the unjust order has been issued. This is a political issue that cannot be compromised. It is useless for anyone to plead for mercy. At worst, it would be a desperate battle against the princes of the world in advance.
What he cared about was the soldiers of the brigade. What he feared most was that the soldiers of the brigade were eliminated in an established system, which was a loss for the righteous army, and it was also a blow to the princes in the world who feared the Mo family's invincibility.
At this time, he didn't care about the matter on the battlefield, and hurriedly summoned everyone to discuss the matter. After explaining the situation, he asked the Mohzawa in charge of the information and said, "Is the secret envoy from Tian Shan still there?"
"I just congratulated us on winning the Battle of Yingyi, and praised us for not killing prisoners and not building Jingguan."
Tian Shan's secret envoy had been in secret with the Mo family, and thought for a while and said, "I think this matter needs to be divided into two steps. It is our business to send troops to support Yu Tu's brigade. But if Tian Wu ran away before we supported him, he would have to consider the possibility of him going back to the coup."
"This is how I suggest... Let's explain this matter clearly with Tian's secret envoy. If Tian's willingness, then we can make a coup in the name of punishing unrighteousness. We support and promise him that we will withdraw our troops after the coup is successful."
"Now for Tian Shan, the situation is critical. Tian Wu is already in a hurry and he has no other possibility except launching a coup."
"Our conditions can be discussed slowly, such as the spread of the Mohist sermons after we left, and the revenge of the people in the region... we can discuss slowly in the future. But there is one thing that must be discussed clearly now and let Tian Shan hand over Tian Wu."
"Tell Tian Shan that if necessary, we can withdraw Changcheng's defense and we can directly send troops to help him suppress the rebellion."
He always felt that Tian Shan could not stand up to the wall. In history, after ascending the position of Duke of Qi as the prince of the prince, he was overthrown by Tian Wu's coup, which was extremely incompetent.
He waited for so long and waited for news that Tian He was seriously ill. Tian Shan had not had a coup yet and was still waiting and watching. Now things must put some pressure on him.
The Tianshan coup was beneficial to the Mohist family. Shi didn't believe that Tianshan could think about benefiting the world. Instead, the first thing Tianshan did when he came to power was to make peace immediately and use the power of the Mohist family to clear the Tian and a group of nobles.
Now the conditions he gave were enough to make Tian Shan moved: If you can't do it, let's open Changcheng and we will help you kill your brother.
If there are more, I don’t need to say anything. I think the most urgent thing is Tian Shan now.
Tian Wu ruined the Linzi Army this time. As the head coach after Tian Qing's death, he escaped at the last minute. If he didn't have a coup, it would be a dead end.
Tian Shan must respond to Tian Wu's desperate situation, and Qi State can no longer fight.
The Ju and Jimo Legions did not dare to move, the Pingyin Legions were destroyed, the Linzi Legions were destroyed, and the mobile field forces were lost. The land reform here has panicked the nobles, especially the fiefdom nobles north of the Great Wall. They will panic and continue to fight and burn the land reform fire to the north of the Great Wall.
Based on this realistic judgment, Shi felt that this would be a perfect opportunity.
The arrest of Tian Wu for the trial was to expand the influence of the Mohist school and to truly demonstrate justice.
Tian Wu fled back to the coup, forcing Qi to have a civil unrest, which fulfilled his utilitarian wish.
Without further ado, after the agreement, we informed Si Shang and Gong Zaoye first, and dispatched cavalry to support Yishui. The large army entered Yingyi to repair and was ready to cross the Great Wall to Linzi at any time.
…………
Linzi, Qi State.
This wealthy city was considered the world's number one city before it rose to Si, and is now full of depression.
A large number of reports of the fierce and strong going on the battle but not returning, the repeated defeats, the rumors that Wei and Han betrayed the alliance and made peace with the Mo family alone, Tian He was seriously ill, etc., made the city a little lifeless.
Many laborers were still trying to build the city walls. Several fast horses crossed the city gate and went straight into Tianshan's mansion. After closing the door, they passed the news that the Yingyi battle Hotan Wu might return to China in Yishui to Tianshan.
Tian Shan immediately summoned his confidants around him to look at the conditions of the Mo family.
The doctor in Changcheng is the one from Tian Shan. As for the coup that was escorted by foreign countries into the capital, Tian Shan really didn't want to do this.
Because the Mo family was not other princes, the Mo family offended half of the nobles of Qi too deeply when the land reform south of the Great Wall. If he was too close to the Mo family on the surface, then he, the prince or the Duke of Qi, would not be at ease.
The secret envoy said, "Young Master Wuyou, the people from the Mo family said that if the young master was against the opposition of the nobles, he only needed to open Changcheng. The Mo family would send a large number of prisoners back to Linzi in an established manner, and they would serve as the main force guarding Linzi to prevent the coup."
Tian Shan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What the Mo family meant is to let me get out of Changcheng and let the prisoners of Qi come back in an organization to suppress the rebellion?"
The secret envoy said, "That's exactly what it means. The soldiers in the army were extremely dissatisfied with Tian Wu, especially when they escaped at the battle. When the Mo family gave the prisoners a lecture notes, they said that Tian Wu was an ambitious man, and they wanted to use the dead bones of tens of thousands of Linzi people to build a ladder to climb to the position of the Duke of Qi. They didn't care about the life or death of the tens of thousands of Linzi soldiers. They only wanted the position of the Duke of Qi..."
When Tian Shan heard this, he clapped his hands and laughed, "Okay! Well said! This can be done."
The secret envoy thought to himself that he was only half of what he said. In fact, when the Mohist and the prisoners were handed over, he also insinuated how the Tian family used the 30,000 Qi heads as a ladder to overthrow Jiang Qi in the battle of Linqiu, which was attacked by the Three Jins and the Three Jins. That time, the order issued by the Duke of Qi who had no real power and no money refused to redeem the corpse and prisoners, and was the scapegoat, which led to the loss of the people's hearts.
Halfway through this, a counselor said, "Young Master, I'm afraid this matter is not too late. If Gongziwu returns, the lord must be anxious. It's hard to seize power by relying solely on Gongziwu, so the lord is afraid that he will attack you before his death."
"Besides, once the young master Wu army returns, I will be the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who
"With Linzi, then Gongziwu cannot cause trouble. He allowed the commander to return and Linzi was in hand. We made peace with the Mo family, let Changcheng be released, and the Mo family came forward to defeat Gongziwu, and then they could be invincible."
