Under the cruel manual choice, the aristocratic family that is not proficient in infighting cannot continue to this day.

There were many cases of killing the monarch in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was only a few years since the Tian family divided Jin in the three families. Besides, Xiong Liangfu and a group of nobles were originally coupons, and the Chu State's palace conspiracy was no less than that of the Central Plains countries, and they even played a lot of tricks.

If the King of Chu leaves, he will definitely rely on these Jianghan vassal kings to make the basic foundation - they may have opposed centralization a few months ago. Once they leave their fiefdoms in the north, these vassal kings will immediately support the royal power.

After all, when we arrived in the north, these Jianghan princes were zero except for their bloodline, and they would not be able to stand with the royal family.

The vassals north of Yan Ying and Jianghan are not easy to deal with. The families are deeply rooted there and have never been the basic rule of the King of Chu. This is why the King of Chu and the Jianghan nobles chose to defend Zhu to the death, but E did not immediately choose to flee north.

After escaping, the King of Chu, who had no title of sacred king and the traditional centralized power, was just the largest vassal king, especially after the coup, which was even more so.

In addition, it is not possible to retaliate against Mo and retake Jianghan in a short period of time, so many issues have to be considered.

The centralized reform of the former King of Chu offended too many nobles. Now it is not an era of pioneering mountains and forests. Who would like to go to a place where the mountains and rivers are poor and the land is vast and the people are sparse?

Now these offended monarchs support Xiong Liangfu because Xiong Liangfu promised to become a "conspiracy against morality, good at using weapons, and defiance of the heavens" after he became a leader.

However, it was the King of Chu who carried out the reform. Since he didn't go against the will of heaven, he couldn't say that his father was wrong. But once the King of Chu died, it was definitely the rebellious ministers around the King of Chu who instigated the King of Chu to reform against the will of heaven.

This coup was made similar to the reason of killing the monarch, and then the nobles who threw them into remote areas were invited back first, otherwise his seat would be unstable.

Now the situation in Jianghan is no longer controlled, and the King of Chu also knows that his true basic position is not the new army of the royal army, but the nobles who have lost the Jianghan fiefdom.

As long as you have an army in your hands, you can gain a foothold when you arrive in the north, and regain enough power from those vassals, and gradually centralize power in the name of restoring the country and revenge.

Those new troops of the royal army were basically the beneficiaries of previous reforms and were farmer-giving fields, and these people were unreliable.

One is that he is deeply influenced by the Mohist school, and the other is that he must have returned home after going to the north.

However, those fiefs, slaves, etc. in the army can be used.

If more small nobles and descendants of the Jianghan area can escape together, they can also be absorbed as the main force in the army and use military merits as temptation.

In addition, the fugitives will basically lose their own land and after they run to the north, they can use this to ask for land and power from those vassal kings. Maybe it will be a blessing in disguise, and they can successfully centralize power.

If he can fight back to Jianghan with the help of the princes in the future, he will be considered the lord of the Chu State's revival. After all, after being swept away the remnants of aristocratic feudalism by the Mo family, it will be easier to make centralized changes when he fights back.

I think the princes would at least choose to fight against the aggressive Mohist family, who did not leave a way out for the nobles and princes.

The King of Chu even felt that this would force the entire nobles to the contrary of the Mo family: In the past, in the battles between Wu, Chu, Qi and Jin, the nobles would at most change their loyalty. For example, Gongsun Hui of Qi, who defected to Zhao after the rebellion, and they continued to be doctors in the Three Jins to defend the fief Linqiu?

But the Mo family did not accept the surrender of Yue State, and also expressed that they would drive all the nobles of Yue State to a place without a man to divide the feudal state. Isn’t this pushing all the nobles in the world to the death? The nobles are nobles, and there are no nobles, so how can they be noble without a noble? Which nobles don’t know about this simple Taoist principle? As the ruling class, they are always more sober than the informed class. The ancestors overcome all obstacles, not to let the descendants overcome all obstacles and re-enact the country.

Although the world is big, there is only one Jiuzhou. When you go elsewhere, what is it expensive if you don’t work? Could it be that the nobles guard thousands of hectares of land to plant rice and cut sugarcane?

Xiong Liangfu still has this kind of awareness. Although he has to run away and think about these questions at this time, he will inevitably have some self-comfort. But in the end he can still see some hope.

He also knew the reason why the Jianghan vassals chose to fight to the death. He said it was for the Chu country, but in fact it was for the family fiefs and interests. If it was for the Chu country, how could he launch this coup with him?

After this matter came to this point, Xiong Liangfu made a statement, he immediately disintegrated the unanimous attitude of the vassal princes of the Jianghan Dynasty.

Some people are afraid, some are worried, some want to make a comeback, some feel that failure is a foregone conclusion, some want to continue to hold on, and some feel that there is still hope.

So the Jianghan feudal nobles who originally unanimously hoped that Xiong Liangfu would fight to the death here were divided.

In this case, Xiong Liangfu made a statement, then whoever shouted the most happy, had the highest title and the greatest power, would be left behind and cut off the rear.

So who would stay and cut off the rear? Shen Gong just died, and a shocking battle was solved in one hour and dozens of casualties were killed or killed in the battle. Who would stay and cut off the rear under the huge shadow?

Although you may lose a lot of escape to the north, you will inevitably lose everything if you stay here.

It is difficult for everyone to communicate their thoughts, and it is even more impossible to quickly exchange opinions to reach an agreement. In this case, no one stood up righteously and opposed the escape.

It would be fine if they all objected.

If I stand up and oppose others, and I am left behind and I am left behind and I am not good at leaving behind?

If everyone is determined to stay and fight against the elite Mohist scholars, although it seems that there are few opportunities to win now, there may be some hope.

But if someone wants to run away and someone wants to fight, the battle will not be fought.

The State of Chu is not without loyal and patriotic people, but most of them died in the previous coup. After all, the patriotic people who are loyal and patriotic now understand that all countries are reforming, and the situation in Chu will be over if it remains unchanged.

Most of the people who stand on the side of the nobles of the throne put family interests first. The propaganda of the Mo family has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in recent years. The traditional or ancestral laws are just a slight cover up the interests. The nobles believe it deeply, so they must shout slogans to prove that they are not.

Everyone did not say anything, but actually had already agreed to the strategy of retreating.

Although it is better to retreat early in the morning, or either not fighting or retreat early, I was so frightened that I could not hold on.

But retreating is not a siege, and you have to stop the pursuit of the Mo family.

Since he gave up the idea of ​​fighting in the field to defeat the enemy, the Zhucheng in the rear was the only city in Chu that could block the pursuit of the Mo family.

Of course, you will definitely not be able to defend it, but it will be fine to delay it for a period of time.

The king and his ministers looked at each other, and the King of Chu said, "If the army retreats, no one will be apprehended. If the pursuers approach, everyone will be defeated. At that time, there will be no more than one ten, and there will be no more battles. What if it does?"

"According to my opinion, the Mo family attacked from the east and advanced to Jianghan, which was already the end of the rushing wind and could not float the feathers. But if the Mo family had to replenish the food and grass in Zhucheng and recruited the people, they would probably continue to pursue them."

"The city of Zhu is not a big city or a huge town. Even if Mo Di is resurrected, it is probably difficult to defend it at this time."

"What can I do if I do?"

The ministers looked at each other, thinking that this was not an obvious matter?

Nowadays, the only thing that can stop the pursuit of the Mohist army is that it turns the city of Wu into ashes, burning the people of Wuhist city to prevent it from being used by the Mohist family. Taking advantage of the opportunity of dry winter weather, a fire will not only burn the city of Wuhist city, but also burning the mountains and forests near Wuhist city.

At the end of the wind, the force cannot float the feathers.

I have to say that what the King of Chu said makes a lot of sense. Attacking from east to west is different from attacking from north to south.

The attack from east to west and rushing all the way from the estuary of the Yangtze River to Echeng must be paused for a moment, otherwise there will be problems with supply replenishment. Moreover, it has been two or three months of fighting, and it is said that it needs to be repaired.

This is not about not pursuing the problem of repairing or not pursuing, but rather delaying the time to organize the defense north of Yanying. When the Mo family chased here and went deeper into Jianghan. If they wanted to break through some cities north of Yanying, they could only repair them.

But if you can't delay time in Zhucheng, and the King of Chu and a group of nobles run, and the Mo family chases behind, there is no need to fix it. The faster you run, the faster you can chase.

If you can't block it a little, it will be difficult to get rid of it.

If you cannot defend Zhucheng, but if you cannot defend it, it does not mean that you cannot stop the Mo family. You can burn it clean with one fire, and ignite all the nearby mountains and forests and cultivated land to block the enemy with fire, so you can buy time.

This is an obvious thing. The King of Chu said that Zhucheng could not be defended and that he wanted to find a way to delay time. How could everyone not hear the subtext?

But no one dared to answer the conversation.

Setting fire to the city is a trivial matter.

It’s winter now. If the summer flood comes, it would be a trivial matter if it was like this before, digging the river embankment and flooding the Mohist chasing troops without hesitation to turn Echeng into a lake.

But now is not the past.

All the ministers understood that at this time, who dared to set fire to the city, dig a river and flood the water, would definitely be listed on the Mohist list of the unjust orders.

Now that things have come to this point, it is not that everyone really has the heart of benevolence and righteousness to abide by the Heze alliance in the past, but that they dare not disobey it.

In the past, countries abide by it because they all checked and balanced each other. If Wei dared to dig the Yellow River and the Mo family went to war, the surrounding countries would definitely hold high the banner of righteousness to divide the Wei Kingdom.

Now that the Chu State's vassal is abiding by the throne, it is because the war has reached this point and the future is uncertain, especially when the Mohist family has force and violence to maintain those morals, no one wants to cause trouble.

One reason is that the order to punish the unjust order is signed, and it is famous on the list. If the princes send troops to intervene and fight to a draw, the Mo family said that the people who killed the people must be executed and followed the story of the Prince of Qi, otherwise there will be no peace talks? Who can guarantee that they will not be sold by others?

Another thing is that Si Shang has brought many changes to the world over the years, covering almost all kinds of people in the world.

The same is true for the ancient professions of "Xia Ke" and "Assassin".

Before, assassins had small righteousness but no big righteousness.

Since Nie Zheng assassinated Qin, the Mohist school has promoted the so-called difference between great righteousness and small righteousness, the three views of the chivalrous and assassins have gradually changed a lot.

Although some people continue to serve as loyal ministers and warriors, some knights believe that they should practice the way for heaven and achieve great reputation.

Many knights and knights do not like the extremely strict discipline of the Mo family, so they do not join the Mo family. However, if the Mo family really signs the order to punish the unjust, there will definitely be assassins with great righteousness to jump out.

After the assassination, he always took it as a pride and claimed to be responsible for this matter. This kind of thing has happened many times, and even threw gunpowder bombs into the homes of some nobles who were harsh in power, ambushed carriages halfway, or even killed the whole family.

If something happens, you run away, and you won’t be caught if you run far away. Then you will become famous in the market and call it a hero in the world. A hero is the so-called hero who is righteous rather than a small righteous.
