Chapter 61 The Siege of Dangshan (6)

The sarcasm in words was understood by the envoy of Wei and Han, but there was no refutation.

If it is really a field battle, Wei and Han will not have the confidence to defeat Si Shang under the conditions of equal strength.

Sishang has worked hard to develop its military equipment in recent years. The original flower team that was mixed with spearmen and musketeers has now become pure teams of pure musketeers.

The emergence of the dagger on the musket allowed the original spearman and the musketman to be unified. The emergence of flint and leaf spring made the military formation of Si Shang closer. Although there has not been any actual combat test, Si Shang has been publishing books to talk about such advantages.

Although countries do not believe in the theory of Tianzhi in Si, and refuse to admit that the Mohist family in Si really mastered Tianzhi, their bodies are still very honest.

Judging from the effects of the military system and political reforms triggered by Si Shang over the years, many of the things in Si Shang are worth learning and are correct.

Even the most elite Wei Wuzhang of Wei State has just completed the mixing of the comb rope and spear. The weakness of this mixing is obvious. Therefore, when it comes to the confrontation with equal military force in field battles, all countries actually assume that the Si Shang field battle is invincible by relying on the power of one country.

Otherwise, it would not have to be required to join forces to interfere in the State of Song, nor would it take so long to prepare and react.

However, on this occasion, the envoys from Wei Han who were once enemies and who may be ridiculed in the future may not be accepted by the envoys of Wei and Han.

The envoy of Wei State sneered: "I have always heard that the new army of Chu people are all relying on the power of Mo to train it; there are many people in Chu, and many people who are close to Mo. Listen to your words, you know that you are the envoy of the King of Chu; those who don't know that you think you are the Xuanyi person on Si, but the majesty of Changsi here."

"You have to be cautious, just be afraid that you have already transformed into the ink and don't know. You have a tendency to transform into the ink."

The envoy of Chu State hummed, "If three people walk, they must have my teacher. Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones. Although the meaning of Si Shang is full of inconsistent, it is not completely unreasonable."

"Beasts also sleep and mate. Can't people sleep and mate? In the principles of Si Shang, it is always good to respect virtuous people and benefit the people, but Si Shang did something wrong in how to achieve this."

"If you talk about seeking truth from facts, it means you have a tendency to transform into the world. I hope that all the nobles in the world have a tendency to transform into the world, so as to avoid the difficulties in the world."

The envoy of Wei State sneered: "The theory of advocating virtuous equality has caused chaos in the world. But you are praising the theory that the Mohist school of causing chaos in the world can be learned from, but you don't know whether the people of Chu have forgotten their ranks and inferiority and are also ready to be equal?"

The envoy of Chu State said seriously: "What I believe is that everyone is equal to one person. The king's words are law, and the government is unified. No one dares to be involved in the throne. If the king depends on his talents, he will be in the official position and be able to be paid to his salary. Then the world will be ruled."

"The mistake made by the Mo family is to make all the people in the world equal. If so, the king can be a king, the minister can be a king, and even the peddlers and soldiers can be a king. Isn't it a great chaos in the world?"

The envoy of Wei State also sneered: "He is a person who is filial and brotherly, but he likes to cause chaos, but has never been there. What does the relationship between filial piety and brotherly fertility and chaos originate?"

"It originates from the difference between high and low, not only the difference between monarch and minister, but also between the minister and the officials, between the officials and the scholars, between the scholars and the common people."

"Only in this way can we know from birth that there is a difference between superiors and inferiors, and we will have no different intentions."

"Everyone is equal under one person. Isn't this a dream? Why can everyone be equal under one person? If all the kings and lords can be equal, how can people who grow up in such an environment respect the king?"

"I think Chu is going astray. There will be a big disaster in the future."

The envoy of Chu laughed and said, "As you said, the government of Wei must be the right way. However, since the death of Wenhou and Li Kui passed away, the spirit of Wei's valuation of virtuousness was replaced by the difference between superiors and inferiors. As you said, it should be strong."

"However, what I saw was that the Wei State abandoned Zhongshan in the north, and the Wu Qileyang's talent was either far away or hanged himself. The court was full of nobles. The west could not attack Qin, the south could not seize Chu, the east could not defend Mo, and the north could not send Zhao Chen, but I didn't know whether it was Wei State who went astray? Or Chu State who went astray?"

"Since the reform, our king has taken the Cangwu in Dongting, and the Chen-Cai Rebellion in Beiping, and supported tens of thousands of troops. Si Shang avoided the edge. If this is a mistake, it would be ridiculous. Could it be like the Wei Kingdom, the right way?"

After the Chu envoy said this, he smiled and said, "That's right, the righteousness of a gentleman is not judged by victory or defeat, but by virtue and politics. The Wei State is in order and orderly, and although he is beaten everywhere, it is the path of a gentleman. The Chu State values ​​wise and reforms and explores everywhere, but it is the path of a villain."

"But please continue to be gentlemen in Wei."

It is said that hitting people is not slapping in the face. These words from the young envoy of Chu really reveal the scars that Wei has always been reluctant to mention. Every sentence insulting Wei's policy is really ridiculous.

The envoy of Wei's Kingdom turned red, he held his hands and hung a sword on his waist, shouting: "I insult my lord, I will never stop until I die!"

The envoy of Chu State was not willing to be outdone and had to draw the sword right.

The grudge between Jin and Chu has been around for more than a hundred years, and it is common for me to draw swords when talking.

During the War Suppression Conference, in order to win a peace agreement that was beneficial to Chu, the representatives of Chu entered the venue wearing leather armor and a dagger hidden around their waists. This incident has been a hundred years since then, but it has been rumored to be a beautiful talk in Chu.

The dispute broke out again today, and the conflict between the two sides would be deep. If it weren't for the Mohist school of the Central Plains, it would be impossible for both sides to stand together.

Although they have the same enemies, how can the conflicts and hatreds between each other be resolved in a short time?

Seeing that the two sides were about to fight to the death, the people from the Mo family hurriedly came forward to stop them.

When the news reached the command post, the senior cadres in the army laughed. They didn't care about the morality and right or wrong that the envoys of Wei and Chu were talking about, but only the conflict between Wei and Chu.

A glimpse of the whole leopard is the problem reflected in this incident. In the face of the rise of Si Shang, can countries really communicate with each other and leave their backs to others with confidence?

Since he came to power as a giant after the Qi and Mo War, Si Shang has never been afraid of any single vassal state. If the countries did not interfere with one-on-one battle, even if it was Wei, Si Shang would have the confidence to let the Wei State die and cause a revolution that would break out of a failure and heavy pressure in Wei State.

What Si Shang was worried about was the union between the various princes, especially if the princes such as Wei, Chu, Han, and Qi worked together, Si Shang was not ready for a full-scale war, which would be quite unfavorable.

In the command post, the commander of the Pengcheng Legion sighed: "We in Si are obsessed with class contradictions, so that we overthink class thinking about problems. In fact, the contradictions between the princes exist, and the resentment between the Chu and Wei people also exists."

"Although we try our best to eliminate it, and for the sake of love, we only talk about the people of the world, not the people of Chu, Wei, but publicity is one thing, and another thing when thinking about decisions, and we should not be confused."

"From today's matters, even if Wei and Chu join forces to interfere in Song State, they will inevitably have their own different intentions and restrain each other. The giant's judgment is correct. As long as we quell the rebellion of Song State faster, the possibility of joining forces to interfere among the princes will be very slim."

Liuzhi also said, "Let's talk about this matter... The master said back then that if Wen Hou was still there, Wu Qileyang, Li Kui Duan Gan, Muda Zifang, Ximen, Baobeimen, etc., could all be there, and Wei is indeed a big concern for me, Si Shang."

"It's a pity that after Zixia entered Xihe, the Wei nobles studied more and formed their own schools. The conflict between the talents among the nobles and the down-and-out scholars of the Wei State was inevitable. Either the lower-class faction occupied the mainstream of the Wei State, or the nobles were the lower-class faction to squeeze out those people from the lower-class background."

"Now it seems that the winner is decided. The Wei State has no longer threatened, and the dry bones in the well will sooner or later be broken."

He thought for a while and said, "Since the two sides almost fought, we can make use of it. Didn't the Wei people say that the Chu people are too close to us? Then we can't let the Wei people talk for nothing, so we'll really get close."

"I suggest that the Qin people should separate the envoys from various countries. There is no need to mention the Qin people. As for the Chu people, they should also bring them closer to us. They often make some intimate conversations with them, so that the envoys of Wei and Han can see it."

"Although it is just a trick, and the great wise and powerful people can see through it at a glance, but I don't see that there are many great wise and powerful people in the world."

Everyone immediately understood the meaning of Liuzhi and smiled and said, "This is a good idea. It's a pity that we stopped it a little earlier. It would be great if they were allowed to fight. I see that the Chu envoy was young and strong. If the Wei envoy was beaten to the bruised face, there would be personal grudges in it. After returning to the country, they would definitely strongly oppose the Wei and Chu army."

Since the proposal was unanimously approved, the envoys of various countries were quickly separated and the envoys of Chu were placed in a new location, closer to the command post.

And that day, Liu Fingers showed up clearly, had a cordial conversation with the Chu envoy, and let the Chu envoy enter the command post together in front of the Wei and Han envoy, and it took him a long time to come out.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that this is a crude method of provoking and discord.

But crude means may not be ineffective. Provoking and discord can happen because it is not a solid piece of solid body. In this case, the more crude means, the easier it is to work.

At this time, there was no story in the world that "I thought the envoy of the Asian father was the envoy of King Xiang", but Liuzhi heard from Shi that the name was changed and the location was illusory. He thought the story was very strange. At that time, he was very surprised why this obviously was a crude method?

Now that he is getting older this year, he has experienced the seemingly stable internal struggles of Si Shang over the years, which are actually hidden secrets. He can see many things clearly.

Today's incident is just a temporary idea, taking advantage of the problem, and the methods are crude and uncovered, but he doesn't think it will be ineffective.

That night, the Wei envoy took out the paper and pen, and wrote as follows.

"The Chu envoys often humiliated the emperor. I wanted to kill him, but Mo stopped him. In an instant, he held the Chu envoy's hand into the military tent and left for a while. The Chu envoy's face showed joy. We all hate eating at night. The Chu envoys had a lot of wine and meat, and they could vaguely listen to the affairs of the Daliang of Yuguan."

There is no false statement in these written by the envoy of the Wei people, at least part of the truth.

But if you really have a thorough understanding of the situation in the world, the same thing might be written like this.

"The Chu envoy was arrogant and mad at the age of young people, and his words were humiliating to the emperor. The Mo used this rift to favor Chu and weaken Wei, and to join forces to prevent Chu and Wei from joining forces."

But after all, he was just a second deputy envoy and did not need to be in mind the general trend of the world. So he took advantage of the afternoon's resentment and wrote down the "truth" and "facts".

The same thing, different strokes will have different interpretations.

This record that will be handed over to Wei Hou may not have any effect.
