Prince Yu shouted angrily when he heard this: "The Mo family has a synonym, and the meaning of the world is known to everyone. Now that the Chu State has been destroyed, if this continues, everyone will finish it."

"Since we are going to finish everything, we will cut off the flesh of Wei, and sooner or later, what else can we talk to them?"

"Zhao is for Ye and Fanyang, Qin wants Xihe Hangu, Qi wants Linqiu Chengyang, what will Han want in the future? Then they are all the essence of Wei. After the ceasing, what will Wei be left?"

If the Mo family had not completely scared the nobles of the Chu State, the princes would have stopped talking after hearing this.

They are already like this, but they are still arguing with each other about these issues. The Mo family has become stronger and the princes are about to finish them. Why can't they unite and not seek benefits and protect their rites?

However, Prince Yu also understood that if things were over, if they didn't talk about it, Wei would send others to discuss it, because the nobles of Wei were already nervous. As long as they did not touch their fiefdom, what would have anything to do with them if they ceded?

Yecheng has always been the direct jurisdiction of the Marquis of Wei. Ximen Bao has been operating there for a long time, not a noble fief. The Xihe area was seized from Qin, except for some fiefs belonging to the nobles, the rest belonging to the people of Xihe, and the reform has been made.

If the nobles want to oppose Mo, they will definitely find ways to kill those who are unwilling to talk to. The young master will understand his situation.

His confidant said again: "Young Master, you must not make any decision on this matter. This matter must be returned to Anyi, and the ruling of the emperor or the ministers may discuss it together. Otherwise, the young master will not be able to explain it clearly."

Until now, the people around Gongzi Hu can only repair all this from a small profit, and cannot solve these problems from the root.

The conspiracy left behind by the aristocratic era was unreasonable in Si Shang, not licking the aristocratic people, and over-literate people, and the face of the general trend was useless. All they could do was to think of the rise and fall of a family on some small issues.

As for national benefits, no nobles have no country, only family. Gongsun Hui defected from Qi to Wei, and Linqiu was still from his Gongsun Hui family. This has never changed. It was not until the people of Si Shang began to teach people to read like crazy and the people began to want to have a family to think about their own interests, and the concept of country and family would change.

However, now, there are no members of the Wei clan, only the Wei clan and the Wei clan, and the princesses have no support.

The universally applicable values ​​of equality and love plus the universal unity of the nine provinces were robbed by the Mohists; the nation had no economic foundation for the emergence of the Wei Kingdom; what the prince could rely on was actually the support of the nobles and the old etiquette and legal system.

He did not want to give up all this as a true "being a public servant of the people" and gave up rule for the benefit of the people. Naturally, he had to accept these conditions and had one way to go.

In fact, there is another way, that is, to defect to the Mo family and benefit the people of Wei, but he refused to do so.

Seeing that his confidant said this, the young master could only say, "I have to do this. I can't make the decision on this matter, I can only pass it back to Anyi before making a decision."

…………

In the capital of Anyi, the young master was anxiously waiting for his father's death.

Wei Dao didn't have much time, but at this critical moment, he sent his son to Luoyi. Why did he think that he, the son, could not know?

Now whoever goes to Luoyi will be able to hook up with the princes first and gain the support of the princes.

The Wei State itself could no longer hold on, and it would be impossible to inherit without the support of the princes.

In the Battle of Xihe, the Wei State's Wushu and phalanx system completely lag behind the times. Qin State transported along the river and attacked all the way to the vicinity of Hangu Pass.

There was a river in Anyi, which finally blocked the Qin army's offensive, but the Wei phalanx, which was famous for its large formation and heavy infantry formation, was completely suppressed by the Qin army formation.

Just like the battle in Yinyang, the Qin army also took the route of Si Shang twenty years ago, and a large number of musketeers replaced Qin crossbows as the main output, infantry used to move the city wall to protect musketeers, and a large number of stirrup cavalry were covering the flanks.

The Qin State's muskets are flint and are very heavy. They cannot be inserted into short swords and used as short spears like some new guns on Si.

But probably in order to fight against the heavy infantry and heavy chariots in the thick armor of Wei, the Qin people's muskets abandoned their lightness and increased their power, and replaced the flint that could not be densely arranged with exquisite flint instruments.

Although it still needs to be covered by the spearmen, the density and formation of the musket can be more dense and the power will be stronger.

The front line was thinner and longer. Under the volley, the Wei State's large formation was seriously injured. As soon as the cavalry rushed, it broke through.

Han and Zhao both sent troops to rescue Wei, but after they sent troops, Si Shang destroyed Chu, which made Han and Zhao now stationed along the Yellow River and confronted the Qin army, seemingly having different thoughts.

The wind had already been heard, and the Qi people were preparing to take advantage of the opportunity when the Mo family was unable to go north and work with the countries to destroy Wei to divide the land of Wei.

Zhao State was extremely supportive, South Korea did not, and Qin State was difficult to decide.

The reason why South Korea does not support the destruction of Wei is not because South Korea is the most determined ally of Wei, but because in the Battle of Yinyang seven years ago, South Korea ate a lot of Zheng land, and those Zheng lands were poisonous...

It was greatly influenced by the Mohist propaganda, and after the Xinzheng War, the people of Zheng were extremely dissatisfied with the rule of aristocraticism.

This is a piece of meat mixed with shit, which cannot be swallowed or vomited, and it cannot be effectively governed or managed at a low cost.

In addition, the Mohist family attacked Chu, South Korea was most worried because the Mohist family was about to drive the cannon to the gate of the Korean capital.

So Han did not want to destroy Wei, but just wanted to divide the Wei State into part and feed it. Zhao and Qin asked them to send troops to fight against Mo.

The Qin State's attitude is unclear, so it is hard to say.

Zhao State was fearless. In the battle of inheritance power, Zhao State was almost created by Wei State, Zhao State and Dai State. The revenge of this matter has always been jealous of Zhao and passed on to its descendants.

Furthermore, the Mo family is not able to fight to Zhao now, and Zhao has a lot of bargaining chips.

The Wei State was all rich places. Ximen Bao managed Ye land and led the Wei State to the gate of Handan. In addition, the Wei State incident that year led to the Zhao State completely withdrawing from the Central Plains.

It is a good thing now, but Zhao State has many choices, which can attack Zhongshan, attack Wei, and oppose Mo. Therefore, Zhao State's attitude towards Qi State's suggestions is at least a statement.

Envoys from various countries had secretly contacted Gongzi Yan. Gongzi Yan's fiefs and forces were basically in the Central Plains, and Ye was not his, and Xihe was not his.

Therefore, his attitude towards the princes was very clear: it was a righteousness to oppose Mo, and he supported it. For this righteousness, the State of Wei could cede Xihe, Yecheng, Fanyang, Linqiu, and Chengyang.

What he was worried about was that countries would not give him the opportunity to sell his country, because selling his country also required qualifications.

The first person to stolen the country was his brother, Prince Yu.

If the young master sold the country first, he would have no chance, so he could only offer a higher price than the young master - as long as the place where my fiefdom is located is preserved, the rest can be cut.

The Xihe War also caused a lot of dissatisfaction in the Wei State, because the forces of the old nobles were mostly in the old Wei State, and the policy of recruiting troops by Wu Qi in the Xihe region caused very few noble fiefs.

Although there were few, a group of new military aristocrats obtained "fixes". In addition, some unconventional rewards, such as the land rewarded after making meritorious deeds, were also accompanied by farmers. In name, the farmers were still free to farm, but in fact, because the land was rewarded to military aristocrats, these farmers had to rely on these military aristocrats to survive.

For example, in history, one million and four million mu of land was rewarded at one time. These lands must not be wasteland, and people must have cultivated them. Otherwise, the wasteland would not be a reward.

But these people were not strong enough, and after being defeated by Xihe, these people no longer had much power in Wei State.

The people in the old aristocratic system were most worried about the Mo family's destruction of Chu and heading north because they had already felt the huge gap between the two sides.

It was not just the army, but Wei Han swallowed Zheng State for seven or eight years and had not digested it, so that South Korea lacked interest in dividing Wei State; and the Mo family could take root wherever they went, and used practical actions to verify that the Mo family's principles were passed through Jiuzhou - Nanzheng, Nanhai, Yunzhong, Gaoliu, Sishang, and different places, and they could gain a foothold.

Wei was already panicked because the hatred between Wei and the Mo family was not a day or two, and because Si Shang was too close to Wei. Once the Mo family went north, Wei would be the first to bear the brunt, just like Han.

If you have a crisis in your heart, you can give up some interests that were not originally theirs.

…………

Along the Yellow River, in the Wei army camp, after Wu Qi left the Xihe River, some young talents also emerged in the Wei State.

Pang Juan is one of them.

Pang and Wei are close surnames, both of which originated from King Wu of Zhou's fifteenth brother.

The ancestor of the De family of Wei State was Bi Wan. With his own and noble bloodline, he created a world in Jin State and was granted the title of Wei.

Pang originally meant "Pang people", and Pang is tall. In the era when "the people do not change their careers", Pang people were a group of people who were responsible for building houses for the royal family, or a tribe. Later, the concubines of the descendants of Bi Gonggao were granted the title of Pang Township, and there was Pang's family.

Later Wei Dynasty, Pang Juan's family moved to Wei. Because they were also a noble family, they had the opportunity to make merits and receive rewards. Pang Juan gradually gained a reputation in Xihe and has become the best among the young talents in the Xihe Army.

The system of the martial arts soldiers in Xihe is still there, and Pang Juan has accumulated a general through his military achievements. He did not participate in the previous battle with Qin, but instead deployed defenses on the north bank of the Yellow River after the Qin people went down the river.

In the past, it was quite advanced and could beat Wei Wushu who could defeat the Western Qin Dynasty and suppress Han and Zhao. The backlash and shortcomings at this time had already emerged, or because Wei State lost more and won less, the shortcomings of this system were reflected prematurely.

The so-called martial arts are a group of cheap people who do not respect the old bloodline and a new group of people who cannot afford to play the Six Arts and Chariots.

The number of scholars is basically fixed. The eldest son inherits the common people and the common people become common people, so it is difficult to expand the scholars.

The Wuzhe selected the warriors among the common people, and gave them a kind of "scholar" essence but no title of a scholar. Once they were selected, they would be in the army all their lives.

The advantage is that the family can be exempted from labor, taxes, military achievements and spoils, and can be exchanged for land, and there can be servants and servants.

The farmer soldiers are slack training, while the martial soldiers are professional soldiers. They are trained all day long, and the country is responsible for food, clothing, armor and weapons.

Therefore, in such a large Wei Kingdom, it is impossible to support too many military soldiers. It is obvious that it needs to be continuously expanded to the outside world to continuously expand the number of military soldiers. With more taxes, more land can be exempted from duty and service.

What the farmer fears is not tithes, but always the sudden increase of taxes by the monarch and almost endless service.

Wei Wuzhang benefited from tax exemption from the rest of his family and got the first batch of professional soldiers in Zhuxia. He had great advantages in the early stage, but problems have emerged so far.

The first batch of military soldiers, who were not killed in battle, have now basically become new military aristocrats. Although they may be just a group of corporals without corporal status, they have become the pillars of the Xihe Army of Wei and the first batch of formal military aristocrats.

They also have their own interests. What they desire is military merit, land and population. However, the Wei State has been defeated over the years, which not only makes it difficult to satisfy their interests, but also makes the number of a new batch of military soldiers sharply reduced.

The State of Wei could not provide enough money, land and the number of peasants, so it promoted the Wuzhu system nationwide.

The advent of the gunpowder era has gradually reduced the advantages of the martial arts soldiers. The standing army that was trained in the cold weapon era can be one to ten; but now, they can shoot against musketeers from various countries, but they will not be able to be one to ten just because they join the army for a lifetime, at most one to two.

They have trained for a lifetime, for more than ten years, but when they really arrived at the battlefield, they may not be as good as the musketeers who have been trained for three years.

In the battle of Xihe, they suffered heavy losses. They urgently hope to participate in the dispute between the princes of Wei and seek a spokesperson for their own interests.

They did not want to participate in the war in the southeast because they knew the power of the Si Shang army and they did not want to fight enemies that were obviously stronger than themselves. Only by victory can one have military achievements, land, and slaves, and failure can one have nothing, including life.

The premise of Xiao Rules and Cao Sui in later generations was that the whole world and society would make steady progress.

Wu Qi set a precedent for recruiting troops and adding troops to the government. Based on the productivity and fiscal revenue of the Wei State, he was naturally invincible in the early stage - a group of peasant soldiers who had a hard time eating enough, a group of peasant soldiers who were trained in a year in winter, and a group of martial soldiers who were able to do one as five, and if they dared to fight for their lives, they would be able to achieve military achievements.

Now, the world is undergoing great changes and these systems need to be repaired, but no one in the Wei State can stand up and repair these systems to make them conform to the current situation and remain the same. More of their thoughts are spent on the fight between the princes and the nobles.

The current Xihe Wuzhang does not want to fight enemies that are stronger than them, nor does he want to fight to the southeast.

Fighting with Qin was for its own land, its family and interests in Xihe. Moreover, Qin did not seem so invincible, at least it seems not so terrifying now.

What to do when fighting with Si Shang? There are rumors that someone in the capital is preparing to cede the land where their home is to the Qin people, so why do they still fight? Or, are the nobles in the capital willing to divide their land and repay these old Wu soldiers who have been more than 30 years old? If they are not willing, why don’t they fight against the Qin people and take back the land, but fight against the undefeated troops of Si Shang for 30 years?
