Before this, the King of Chu could only guess what step the Mohist school would interfere with the Song State.

When I went to Shangqiu, I clearly pointed out the attitude of the Mo family.

This is a bargaining chip, a bargaining chip in diplomatic mediation with various countries later. This bargaining chip means that if countries want to interfere, they must be prepared for a full-scale war.

Are countries ready for a full-scale war? At least not yet.

War is also a kind of destruction for Si Shang, but once this crisis occurs, it depends on which side is afraid first. If it is not afraid, there will be no better solution besides war.

Most of the ministers of Chu were eager to start a war, but they all understood that half of them did not want to start a war, and the King of Chu was on the side where he did not want to start a war.

Since this is the case, no matter how much advice you give, it will be meaningless.

After silence, the King of Chu said, "Let the Mo family envoy come, I will listen to what the meaning of 正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正正�

A moment later, a group of close servants brought the envoys of the Mo family forward. The envoys had been on a mission to Chu before and were familiar with the ministers of the Chu king. After meeting their respective rules, the King of Chu rebuked: "In the past, Mo Di had the meaning of not attacking. Now the Mo family has invaded Song and attacked cities and plundered the land. Isn't it a contradiction to attacking the non-attacking?"

"Besides, Song is the middle of the world. It connects Qi Wei in the north, Chu Wei in the south, Si Shang and Yue in the east, and Han Zhou in the west. This action of the Mo family really means to trigger a war in the world."

The Mo family envoy said: "The battle in the world does not depend on the Mo family, but on the princes of Wei, Chu and Han. The Song people chose the Song people, and the Mo family was only invited to send troops."

"In the past, when Jing and Jin fought each other, Shangqiu was surrounded by no more than ten times. What are you doing? It is the personal gain of a king and the dominance of a country. What crimes did the Song people suffer from this disaster?"

"The giant sent me here this time to truly eliminate the disputes in the world and to reduce the suffering of wars in the world."

"Please read it yourself."

The Mohist envoy presented the completed declaration on the third resolution of the war, which was written in two shapes: Si characters and Chu seal script.

After seeing it, the King of Chu stared at the treaties of various countries to build military forces, release tariffs, and allow migration for a long time.

The so-called negotiation is similar to the merchants selling goods, asking for a price everywhere and paying the money on the spot.

But there is another difference in "righteousness". Because of the existence of righteousness, the subject of profit is not one country and one region, but the whole world, which leads to some bottom lines that are impossible for the "princes" of the Mohist school to accept.

Similarly, the release of tariffs and allowing migration is something that the nobles cannot accept.

What the King of Chu cares about was the content about the establishment of the army and the mutual protection of independence between various countries. He stared at the content about "Zheng State" for a long time, and couldn't help but think of the Mohist family quickly sent people to Zheng State to provide military assistance after the Song Dynasty coup.

In the view of the King of Chu, Song State was already like this, and he really didn't want to fight. Moreover, when Dazhi went to Shangqiu, he was a "uncrowned prince", regardless of the tradition of the princes meeting in the capital for a pilgrimage, he was spreading a signal: Song State is the core interest of Si Shang, and it is impossible to allow various countries to interfere. Interference with Song is equivalent to going to war with Si Shang.

Song and Zheng were both buffer states of Chu, but Zheng was a buffer state of Chu but not a buffer state of Si. This is why the King of Chu paid great attention to Zheng after confirming that the Song State was irreversible.

The Mohist family occupied the State of Song and was determined to strategically shrink and use iron tools and agricultural technology to transform and develop the King of Chu in the Dongting area. This is not a bad thing.

With the Mohist family controlling the Song Dynasty, the relationship between Wei and Chu could be relieved much.

The Dongting area, which was originally difficult to develop, was adjacent to Jianghan and was also the hinterland of Chu. With the spread of iron tools and new technologies, it was obvious that it could become the grain land of Chu.

Reform requires a stable external environment and sufficient energy under the overall strategic contraction.

But shrinking is not a bottomless compromise, there must be a limit.

Song and Zheng are different.

The Song Dynasty involved the interests of the Mo family, Chu, Wei, Han, Qi, and Wei, and has always been the focus of the battle for hegemony between Jin and Chu. If the Mo family occupied the Song Dynasty, then the Mo family would have to face the siege and covetition of various countries.

After the last three-pointer in Zheng State, the State of Chu State failed in Daliang and the Siziyang Rebellion, Zheng State was actually only related to the interests of Chu, Wei and Han.

In other words, if you choose to shrink strategically, Chu may ignore Song, because this will give you more potential allies to ease the relationship, and by the way, Song will not threaten the core area of ​​Chu. Moreover, there is a moral dispute between the Mo family and the princes. If the Mo family attacks Chu, the various countries will inevitably go to war against Mo.

But we cannot ignore Zheng State, because if Zheng State is occupied by Wei and Han, there is actually no direct relationship with the fourth party. At that time, Chu State will not be able to attract allies. Even if Chu State chooses to shrink its strategic contraction, the annexation of Zheng State by Wei and Han is equivalent to exposing its chest and being beaten at any time.

In addition, after the Battle of Daliang City, the fulcrum of Chu in the Central Plains was Yu Pass. After Zheng's territory was winding to Yu Pass, Zheng was occupied by Wei and Han. Once Wei and Chu started a war, Chu would not even have the power to defend in the Central Plains.

Moreover, because of the existence of Yingshui, Zheng State is related to the security of the upper reaches of the Chu State Huaibei region.

The Song State is different. The Song State threatens the lower reaches of the Huai River, but the Jianghuai region in the lower reaches of the Huai River now has a power of Yue State, and it is really difficult to go upstream.

If Zheng State was occupied by Wei and Han and used Ying River to transport it, Chu State would be in fact very dangerous.

The Luguan area in the Nanyang direction and Huaibei are mutually supportive. If the Wei Han soldiers divided into two groups, attacked Nanyang along Luguan and penetrated directly along the Yingshui River, then the Chu State would face two fronts of combat.

Chen Cai's army and Shen Xi's army are one battlefield, while Luyang Fangcheng's army is another battlefield, and they cannot support each other.

Because... these county divisions are all locals. If they give up the Huaibei battlefield to support Nanyang, then Chen Cai and Shenxi's army will inevitably oppose it, and the same goes for the other way around.

When the King of Chu understood the usual attitude of the Mo family, he would probably shout "This is the dog biting the dog of the unrighteous king."

If the Mo family really had the intention to annex the universe, it would be unknown if the Mo family took advantage of the opportunity of Wei and Chu to start a war.

At that time, we will help Chu State "manage" some cities in the lower reaches of the Huai River and expand its strength.

Anyway, the Mo family was not afraid of Wei's expansion. If it really became bigger, the Mo family would fight back against Wei and would not need to join forces with Chu. The Chu family would fight back against Wei for its own interests, and they would also have to thank the Mo family. Then, it would be a fisherman who would really benefit.

The King of Chu was very convinced about this.

The background of the hegemony war on Mo Yue and Si was the battle between Wei and Chu Daliang.

The background of the Moqi-Fei War was the War of Succession of the State of Zhao, the Restoration of the State of Zhongshan, and the Chuang Punishment of Prince Ding Rebellion.

The background of the two important battles that the Mohist family entrenched in Si Shang was difficult to cure. They were fought against the background of the war between the princes. There were only three things. If the King of Chu could not even see this, it would be that virtue was not worthy of his position and his ability was not enough to support his ambitions.

The battle of Daliang City here was over, the hegemony war between Mo and Yue ended; the rebellion of Prince Destruction was over, the inheritance of Zhao State was settled, and the peace agreement with Qi State was signed...

This is exactly the reason why the Grand Sima of Chu went to the alliance and demanded peace in the Central Plains region and a joint defense line for Mo.

If there is a threat from the Mohist family in the Central Plains, then the direction of the war between Wei and Chu is only Lu Pass.

That is, follow the only pass area at the junction of Funiu Mountain and Tongbai Mountain, walk through Zhumadian, Luyang, and head straight to the Nanyang Basin.

The key point of Luyang is the gap between Funiu Mountain and Tongbai Mountain, which is also the focus of the Great Wall defense line of Chu State and the essence of Chu State.

If Luyang cannot defend and Zhumadian is captured, then the entire Nanyang Plain will be without any danger. The next area that can be organized and effectively defended is Xiangyang. If Xiangyang cannot defend, then the State of Chu will be destroyed.

Towards the east of Xiangyang are the three passes of Yiyang. Three passes and one break, and there is no danger to guard in Huaibei. Dabie Mountain and Tongbai Mountain directly divide the remaining land of the Chu State into two places where the head and tail cannot be connected.

But the same is true that the State of Chu has deployed heavy troops in the Nanyang area of ​​Luyang, and a large number of vassals are enthroned here. This place will become the most capable place for Chu: when the vassals are enthroned, they will do their best when they defend their fiefdoms, and the direct rule of the royal power in the land of Chen and Cai was destined to start a war in the Central Plains. The vassals are afraid that they will work and not work hard to wait and see.

Therefore, what the King of Chu has always hoped to maintain peace in the Central Plains and maintain the war between Wei, Chu and Han on the northern foot of Funiu Mountain. On the one hand, it weakened the power of the nobles' feudal kings, and on the other hand, it also made the feudal kings have a great need for the support of the central government, which could force the feudal kings to accept some conditions and centralize power.

Therefore, the King of Chu still supported these seemingly unrealistic fantasies of the Mo family, at least on the issue of "stop wars and alliances to resolve disputes among countries."

It's not because he loves peace.

It is because he chose strategic contraction and was temporarily unable to attack. Otherwise, the third meeting of the Bings and the Bings and the Bings and the Bings and the Bings and the Bings and the Bings and the Bings would not have ended up in vain. After the Battle of Daliang City ended, he regretted why he did not continue to abide by the Bings and the Bings and the Bings and the Bings and the Bings.

After a moment of silence, the King of Chu asked, "I already know the meaning of Shi Zi. As Shi Zi said, the four small countries of Song, Zheng and Wei are not attacked and neutral, and all countries are not allowed to invade. This is indeed beneficial to the world and is also beneficial to me."

The Mo family envoy hurriedly said, "The revenge of Zheng Han is to be eliminated with the intention of not attacking and stopping the war. The giant has sent people to Zheng to rectify the military, and Zheng Jun also wants to join the non-attack alliance."

This Zheng Jun is not the Zheng Jun. Because the Mo family does not recognize the system of Duke, Marquis, Bozi and Men, and does not recognize the order of the superiority and inferiority, the monarchs of various countries basically call him the king during diplomacy.

In fact, according to the Zhou Li system, Jun is the lowest-level title. Although Zheng State is weak now, it is not yet at the point of calling him Jun.
