Chapter 259: Chen Lili

After several disputes, the Mohist family was extremely strict and did not move at all. Some principled issues directly showed an attitude that could not be compromised or negotiated.

How could Gongzi Zhang not know that this is drinking poison to quench thirst? But what can I do if I don’t drink poison to quench thirst?

In desperation, I knew that there would be no result if I continued to argue, so I could only pinch my nose and accept it.

After reading the communist written by the Mo family, Zhao Hou expressed his approval. Then the envoy followed Mo to Gaoliu and read out Zhao Hou's oath.

Most of the people near Gaoliu gathered together, and after hearing the oath, they shouted long live together, so they organized the army.

He obtained three thousand regular cavalry, eight thousand cavalrymen, nine thousand infantrymen, a total of 20,000 soldiers, and several baggage soldiers. He went south to defeat the rebels at Xiawu Mountain, and turned to Zhongshan, and passed through Zhongshan Kingdom to Juluze, and went straight to Handan along the Yellow River.

What the polite prisoner Mi knew was the matter of swearing with the Democratic League. When he recalled, he couldn't help laughing because the envoy of Gongzi Zhang had finished swearing and promoted Zhao Hou's benevolence and righteousness, but he didn't expect that Gao Liu's people would not listen at all, which made the envoy very reluctant to come to Taiwan. It was the Mo family who came forward to give the other party some face.

Before the smile of memories faded, it was time to set up camp. At this time, the battle was mostly based on brigades, and the company commander's mission was mainly reflected in various things in camping at night.

This place is not far from Handan, so be careful of everything.

As soon as the company was stationed, a messenger asked him to go to the camp. The company he commanded was infantry and knights, which were not formal brigade organization. It was generally used as mobile infantry to cooperate with cavalry or cavalry to attack the flanks in decisive battles. Therefore, it can be regarded as a unique elite. He also worked in border forts all year round, and some things fell on him.

After receiving the order, early the next morning, he led a company to escort several Mohist envoys and headed to Handan to negotiate with Ximen Bao.

When he was about to reach Handan, the san prisoner Mi was a little excited. In fact, Ximen Bao was the first person he was about to see who was familiar to the Mo family. After the story of Ximen Bao governing Ye was changed by the Mo family, he read two lines of poetry in the story, which was also considered to be the water control in Ye, but was famous in Si.

On the way, several Wei scouts followed. The prisoner Mi received the order not to conflict with these scouts, and the language between the two sides was not very good: he knew the Si Shang dialect, the Dian local dialect and some Hu dialects, while the Wei scouts spoke a strong Ye language.

Among the escorted messengers, there were naturally those who were familiar with Ye local dialect and elegant voice. After the scouts approached, they explained, and in the afternoon someone came to greet them.

The Wei army's camp was several miles outside Handan City. It was obvious that after knowing the news of the Gaoliu area's troops, Ximen Bao had already responded, but his troops were still in short supply.

After crossing the camp gate, I saw a group of soldiers wearing leather armor standing in a group. I thought this was the elite among the peasant soldiers in Ye.

The sanctioned prisoner Mi Xin said, "This is for us to show you. It's similar to when we were welcoming the envoy of Zhao Hou in Gaoliu."

He issued an order quietly. The cavalry, which originally lined up in four rows, quickly changed from four rows to eight rows. The conversion process was extremely smooth and he did not do too many moves.

The sound of drums on the opposite side was heard, and the Wei people shouted in unison, but most of the people who came came were people who had entered and out of the grassland several times. They were afraid of the movement in the camp, and they were still standing still and moving forward steadily.

Those war horses often hear explosions, but how could the explosions of gunpowder be comparable to human power? The thunderous war horses are not afraid of the explosion, and let the Wei people shout, and the people and horses are united.

In the camp, Ximen Bao would not go out to greet him, but he did not sit upright, but quietly observed the movement outside.

"The soldiers of the Mo family are indeed elite."

I secretly praised myself, it is because the expert looks at the trick. The strength of the formation lies in the ability to command soldiers, especially peasant soldiers that are difficult to organize. It is difficult for peasant soldiers to be trained in full. The Xihe model has not been promoted to the entire Wei State. Ximen Bao can gather together and turn the array to this level.

Looking at the cavalry again, the horses were naturally majestic, the stirrups were hanging lightly, the saddle bags were hung with a coercion, and an iron sword was hung on the side. The knights all wore leather armor and a hat similar to a military cap, but not quite the same.

The soldiers were so strong that when they changed the formation just now, they really felt like they had an arm.

A group of Wei generals and officers beside him couldn't help but say, "The Mo family is good at fighting. Judging from their troops, they are not comparable to those of the military soldiers guarding the Xihe River. In the battle of the Nanji River, the entire Qi army was destroyed. It seems reasonable."

Another sighed: "This is not the elite troops on Si, they are all Gaoliu border troops."

Because his son was influenced by the Mohist family and the Mohist family had come to Ye before to observe water conservancy, Ximen Bao had a lot of contact with the Mohist family and had met with Hu Feizi and other figures.

In short, he was also a descendant of the Xihe School. Before Qin Huali rebelled against the Confucianism and Mohism, he studied under Bu Zixia. Even in the Xihe School, he was considered a predecessor. He had some contacts in his early years.

People in the world say that the three things are not deceived. Ximen Bao is good at using criminal law and the people dare not deceive him. He sees some of the Mohist methods more clearly than others.

He didn't know the methods Wu Qi used in Xihe, but he understood that Wei could not afford to support so many Xihe martial soldiers.

The so-called professional soldier training of Xihezhu, "One person can learn, teach ten people; ten people can learn, teach hundreds... ten people can learn, teach, teach three armies." How could he not know that this is the reason why the Mohist charity master can be powerful?

But Ye is not as good as Xihe. Xihe was stolen from the Qin people. The Qin nobles were swept away and they could reward Wushu in a way that "divides land and fields" to help them. But how could he do Ye? Ye was already a major town in the Shang Dynasty. Over the past thousand years, the nobles had deep roots. Where could they have the conditions like Xihe?

Xihe is so vast that it only raises 50,000 full-time military soldiers. How many military soldiers can it raise in Yedi?

Wu Qi once said that 30,000 military soldiers could defeat 100,000 peasant soldiers. Although the number of troops sent by the Mo family is not large, it is difficult for Handan City to be broken by itself. He stationed troops under the strong city. He also had his own plans for the envoy sent by the Mo family this time.

After sitting down, Ximen Bao said seriously: "Invite the envoy from Zhao to the account to discuss."

The attendant beside him thought to himself that he was obviously an envoy of the Mo family, but he didn't know that Ximen Bao meant that the Wei State had already made peace with the Mo family about the matter of Linqiu Chengyang, but the Mo family was violating the peace agreement.

After the Mo family envoy entered the tent, after seeing the ceremony, Ximen Bao glanced at it and found that it was someone who had been to Ye before. He said coldly: "I haven't seen you for a long time. I used to visit Ye in the past and had a great conversation. I don't want to meet you today, but they all hold military service."

The messenger was not willing to be outdone and said seriously: "In the past, the Duke governed the Zhang River and irrigated thousands of fields, which was the only way to benefit the world. Therefore, we have a happy conversation. Today, we will meet each other, and we will be beaten the drums for the unjust battle, which is unjust. We will fight each other, but the Duke will change."

Wu Qi laughed and said, "You have your righteousness, and I have my righteousness. There may be some clarification between the two righteousnesses, but there are also differences. Today, we don't talk about righteousness, we only talk about things. What's going on today?"

The envoy said bluntly: "Please withdraw your troops and make up the disaster of war to benefit the people."

"Now that Gao Liu's soldiers are coming tens of thousands, Hu Feizi is guarding Handan for several months and cannot break it. He stations troops under the strong city and attacks inside and outside. This is not something that can be fought."

Ximen Bao did not object to this point. He could not defeat Handan City at all. It was not that he could not use troops, but that the new city defense system was not easily captured by the military skills he mastered.

It is also obvious that the city of Handan is far from the time when the oil is exhausted. He did not know that the Zhao people in Handan were preparing to bargain with Gongzi Zhang, but they also made detailed returns to the situation in the city: its momentum is the same as that of Xiangzi's Jinyang in the past.

But now that Wei Zhao has become like this, he will have to move his whole body when he retreats.

His withdrawal of troops was not just a problem with his army. Withdrawing the siege of Handan was equivalent to giving up the Wei army from Zhangshui. Gaoliu cavalry cooperated with Handan's peasant soldiers to directly support Zhongmu and faced the Xihe soldiers who were siegeing the city and could not be captured.

But if you don't withdraw, you really can't beat it.

The siege of the city was too long and the morale of the army was disintegrated.

The autumn harvest is approaching, and the peasants are homesick.

Before I came, the Mohist school had more preached that this was an unjust battle, and the complaints in the army were far better than before.

Gao Liu's army was a new force, and he didn't know how powerful the combat power was. However, the Mo family's Nanji River defeated the Qipingyin Legion in the battle.

The cavalry of the guard just now changed the four columns into eight columns during the march. He was also extremely shocked. He was different from those on the grassland tribe. Those who saw their superb horse skills would be more likely to appreciate them, but there were many warriors in the Central Plains army and hundreds of individual skills, but the skills of battle formations were the horrifying points in the eyes of the generals of the Central Plains.

Ximen Bao was silent for a while and asked back: "Even if I can't win, there are tens of thousands of martial soldiers in Xihe who are in Danshui."

"The Mo family's army has the Hanshui River, the Jishui River is the victory, but the Wushu also has the Yin Jin and the Daliang is the strongest. The victory or defeat is unknown."

The messenger smiled and said, "The victory or defeat of the two armies is unknown. If you can compete, the victory or defeat has been decided."

"First, although the Xihe soldiers are strong, they are Wu Qi's training. He uses the same arm, and although Gongshu Zhuo is talented, he may not be able to match."

"Secondly, if our army is in Handan, if you station troops under the strong city, you will definitely lose this battle."

"Third, the people of Wei were in unjust wars, and the people of Zhao were very resentful. Since the Jinyang incident, why did Wei and Zhao have ever seen wars? The Marquis of Wei were in the forefront, which is the opinion of the public in the world. The people of Wei were in unjust wars and Zhao were in many resentful wars, so the towns were like Xiangzi's Jinyang. Our Mo family was good at guarding and chose a good guard to enter the city. If the food was not enough, the city would not be destroyed."

"In the past, Zhibo surrounded Jinyang and even died and his clan was destroyed. Isn't the situation in Wei State similar to Zhibo in the past?"

"Wu Qi entered Qin and knew the Xihe well; the Chu people won a new victory and wanted to restore Daliang Yuguan. This is not a situation that you can't understand."

"The victory or defeat of Xihe soldiers in the field is unknown, but if Handan is determined, and the north goes to Zhongshan and defeats Gongzi Zhi, what is the chance of winning?"

Ximen Bao was silent. He knew the level of Gongzi Zhi. If this army united the Le Chi to attack Gongzi Zhi, it would be a victory.

The envoy asked again: "When Zhongshan is settled, what is the chance of winning?"

Ximen Bao said nothing again. Where was the rebels of Gongzi Chao the opponent of this group of people?

The envoy said at the end: "If you attack the enemy, you must save it and force it to fight to a decisive battle. This is a great strategist. The Mo family also heard of the strength of the Xihe soldiers. The Duke thought that if we fight with us in Handan, we would first consume our army, and then we could delay time to let the Wei army and the Wu soldiers of the Zhangshui join forces. Our army would rescue Zhongmu. The Wei people waited for the decisive battle with their leisure and waited for the decisive battle. The last field mobile force that Gongzi Zhang could use to defeat the Zhao State with the strength of the Wu soldiers, and resolved the Zhao State affairs in one fell swoop."

"If many people think that the elite Mohist soldiers are on Si, and they have already negotiated peace. The Mohist families believe that it is impossible to send troops on the southern front. The decisive battle on the northern front will eliminate the last available army of Zhao Gongzizhang and have the right to inherit the Prince Chao. At that time, Zhao will be like Han to Wei, and only Qin and Chu will be left on all sides of Wei."

Ximen Bao was shocked, and the messenger snorted and said, "But... is Zhao Zhongmu, the Mo family's must save? Prince Zhang lives in Zhongmu, and the city is surrounded, and he will save himself and defend the city firmly. However, Zhao is not the city we must save. We can slowly clear the power of the Gongzi Dynasty to the north. If Zhongmu is broken and Prince Zhang dies, many descendants of the Zhao family will be marquis. At that time, it will be the hatred of Han and Zheng. What slogan did Si Ziyang rely on to rule Zheng?"

"Besides, even if Gongzi Zhang wants to surrender, there are some unwilling Zhao righteous men assassinated and killed him. It is not known that they would rather break up the jade than be a complete one."

"I am the envoy of the Mo family, not the envoy of Zhao Gongzizhang. I must save the Mo family. The south is Pengcheng, Peiyi, the north is Gaoliu, but the only one is not in Zhongmu."
