Chapter 898 Coping

Chudu.

The bloody smell left by the previous coup in the palace has not yet dissipated, and there are a few more heads in the market who promote the Mohist Chu's prose of punishing injustice.

Some are Mohists, some are not Mohists at all, but victims of this reactionary coup.

In a sense, the death of King Chu and Prince Zang was inevitable, because they offended almost all the great nobles in the country.

Originally, this kind of reform would not be so drastic. For example, the Wu Qi reform in the original history also came slowly and step by step. It was just that the feudal monarchs who migrated to the frontiers were enriched. In the end, the revenge of the nobles was just like mad dogs. He just shot and killed Wu Qi.

However, some theories and ruling techniques of Sishang, as well as the spread of simple characters and printing paper, made this reform too intense, and the nobles' counterattack was even more brutal.

The king of Chu was stolen and killed, and the nobles launched a coup d'état using condolences as an opportunity. Prince Zang died, and all the upstarts of the king of Chu's faction also died.

Prince Zang cried bitterly before he died, or some people thought he was afraid of death, but they didn’t want Wang Zizang to say that he only hated his father and king for being soft-hearted, and he didn’t follow the method of those Mohist people 30 years ago—do not hesitate to find an opportunity to execute the nobles in the civil war—so there is Today's defeat.

Back then, after the Mohists got on the line with Chu State because of the Battle of Shangqiu, Shi Shi once went to Chu State. At that time, there was a secret discussion, saying that it is better to build Yanling as a pilot, train new troops, and find opportunities to kill all the nobles, so as to completely reform.

At that time, although the king of Chu was slightly moved, he was worried that the state of Chu would be in chaos, and at that time, the Sishang Mohists had not yet let the world see that the regime could continue to operate and be more powerful after the centralization reform without nobles.

Prince Zang's words before his death made the nobles even more furious.

Prince Liangfu was promoted to be the king, recognized all the privileges of the nobility, and guaranteed that in the future Ling Yin and Da Sima would be selected from relatives and nobles.

At that time, everyone knew that Wang Ziliang liked male sex, but they didn't know that Wang Ziliang used this as his eyes and ears, and raised a group of elite dead men as playmates and same-sex couples. These people also became the main dead men in this palace coup.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Ziliang arranged some positions for his same-sex couples and playmates. These same-sex couples had no fiefs, and they all belonged to him.

Said it was masculinity, but in fact it was the ruling team under the guise of masculinity.

In this way, since he won the position of king of Chu, he would not be oppressed by the nobles to become a puppet. On the contrary, he used male sex as a cover to cultivate his own basic board and occupied several important official positions.

If things go on as normal, there may be another battle between centralization and the decentralization of power by the nobles.

But I didn't want the Mo family to attack Chu State in a frenzy and reckless.

At first, the Mohists attacked Yue, and the king of Chu thought it was normal.

If the Mohists want to expand, they must either find a way to expand to Yue, or find a way to attack Qi.

This is beyond doubt and the most beneficial.

For the Mohists to attack Chu, the King of Chu never thought about it, nor did a kind of minister of Chu State.

Taking history as a mirror, the result of the battle between Wu and Chu was that Yue took the opportunity to stab back.

Wu State also had Jin State as an ally.

What does the Mo family have?The diplomatic situation is much uglier than Wu Guo.

Tian Qi behind him has a big grudge against him, and Wei Han hates the Mohist family to the core. The so-called Feigong allies are all small countries, and the one who can really unite with Sishang is Song State. There is a chance that it will definitely turn against the water.

Of course, it is also because of the radical philosophy of the Mohist school that it is impossible to have real allies of the princes around the Mohist school.

Even if the Mohist family and the Qin State cooperate to drain the blood of the Wei State, the two sides still scold each other all day long, at most they use each other, and they are far from being allies.

If you want to destroy Chu, you must pour the power of the whole country.But if all the power of the whole country is devoted, how can those countries such as Wei Hanqi who have been oppressed by the Mohist for a long time not take the opportunity to backstab?

Therefore, when the Mohists defeated the navy of the Yue State and announced the punishment of the unrighteous Chu, thinking that the Chu State's coup d'etat was a reactionary rebellion, the Chu State's monarchs and officials were all dumbfounded.

The Mohists used the attack on Yue as a cover, and they had the wisdom to destroy Guo by deceitful means. The Mohists used their minds to calculate and did not have any intentions. Within a year and a month, all the south of the Huaihe River returned to Mohism.

But for such a long time, the ministers of Chu State did not discuss a result.

The only wise suggestion comes from the new You Yin, who analyzed the motives of the Mohists using the standard feudal system of the nobility's machinations, and finally came to the conclusion that... there is civil strife in Sishang .

You Yin analyzed thoroughly: Mohists attack Chu, this is a mortal situation.Moreover, there are quite a few Mohists in Chu, and there are even quite a few well-known people.

Attacking Chu at this time, it is obvious that this is because the next round of the Mo family's three-year synonymous meeting is about to be held. According to Kai Zhishi, he will step down as a giant in eight years at most, so this time The synonymous meeting is definitely going to elect the next giant.

From this, it can be determined that some Mohists who must be active in Chu State may be the next ones that Shi valued, so the nobles in the Sishang army attacked Chu to force the King of Chu to kill the Mohists in Chu. plan.

Therefore, if you want to break the attack of the Mohist family, you should immediately arrest all the Mohist in the Chu state, arrange a car ride, give them pearls and jade, and send them back to Pengcheng safely, and the Mohist family will be in chaos!
Because the Mo family's attack was too fast, and because the time was agreed in advance, the official declaration of war on Sishang reached Chudu later than the news of the Mo family's attack on Zhongli.

You Yin's speculation will no longer be a good idea when the exact news from Sishang comes.However, there were not many Mohists left in Yingdu this year, and the rest were hidden in the city or in the wild, and even if they wanted to catch them, they had no way to start.

The state of Chu just had a coup d'état, and the capital was unstable. At this time, the Mo family attacked, which made things worse.

It was only when the Mohists occupied the north bank of Jiujiang River that the rain stopped them for a temporary rest, that the Chu State reacted... This time the Mohists did not go alone in the army as they understood, but they wanted to use the advantages of water transport logistics along the river to go straight to the capital of Jianghan and Chu .

At this point, even the most stupid aristocrats understand the importance of Edizhu City.

But how to keep it?
Since its rise in Sishang, the Mohists have fought against Yue, Qi, Wei, and Han without a single defeat.Needless to say land warfare, water warfare is even better than Vietnam.

It is said that in Poyi, the Mohists assembled more than [-] field soldiers. There is no accurate information on how many Chu people there are.

Even if there are only more than 5 Sishang elites, Chu State needs at least [-] to [-] field troops to be able to stabilize the fortification for long-term confrontation.

Time waits for no one, within a month, where did Chu get [-] to [-] field troops to arrive in Edi, and have enough civilian logistics?

The autumn rain period is about to pass, and once the autumn rain period passes, the Mo family's firearms will be more advantageous and more difficult to resist.

The king of Chu wanted to move the capital and flee.

The king of Chu believed that if he wanted to defeat the Mohists, the only way to do so was to wait until the other countries sent troops.

Moreover, although the Mohist attack along the river would not be a problem for logistics and supplies, but after all, it would be difficult to last for a long time across thousands of miles.

It's not like moving the capital to escape, fleeing to Nanyang, mobilizing local soldiers to defend to the death, and sending envoys to Wei Hanqi and others to conspire with Sishang.

Zuo Sima said: "The Mo family is not Wu. Wherever they go, they will not commit any crimes, and they are good at winning people's hearts. The people are ignorant, and they all follow Mo."

Let the Mo family go straight into Jianghan, and then make another Sishang?A Sishang is already unstoppable, if you give up Jianghan at this time, you will never come back.

The foolish people like the Mohism's land reform and equal rights policy. I'm afraid that within a year, [-] Jianghan troops will go north.

Therefore, moving the capital and fleeing to abandon Jianghan is really the worst policy.

It is even more impossible to cede land to seek peace. Although the Mohist school has no virtue, they have always been united in knowledge and action, and they have always said one thing. If they want to punish injustice, they must be punished to the end.

Zuo Yin then said: "Jianghan must not be abandoned. We must fight in Edi and build a fortress to defend it, and the king must personally conquer it."

He mobilized soldiers and farmers from the lords of the Jiang and Han Dynasties to defend in Hubei.

Then send people to command Fangcheng, Nanyang, Chencai, Luyang, and Xu's divisions to capture Xiacai and Shouchun, cut off the connection between the main force of the Mohists and Sishang, and make it impossible for them to look at each other from head to tail.

Then send envoys to ask Wei, Han, Qi, etc. to send troops, and take advantage of the opportunity of Sishang's main force in Chu to wipe out the Mohists in one fell swoop.

You Yin thought Zuo Yin's words were purely whimsical.

The Mohists are good at defending the city, such as Xia Cai Shouchun, if there are few soldiers, it is difficult to attack; if there are many soldiers, it will take at least half a year to gather.After more than half a year, I am afraid that the people of the Mo family have already preached the righteousness of benefiting the world in Yingdu.

It is better to take this opportunity to send the soldiers of Shenxi, Nanyang, Wan and Li into Jianghan and increase their strength to hold them.As for the surprise attack on Sishang, it is better to ask Wei Hanqi to send troops to do it, and he can give land as a bribe.

Zuo Sima thought that You Yin's words were like dream talk. It's already September, and the autumn rain season has passed. Once the Mohist main force stormed Zhucheng, would Nanyang soldiers fly over to join the guard?

At most one month, maybe even half a month, the Mo family will launch an attack.

Once Zhu City is lost, Edi is lost, and the gates of the entire Jianghan are opened, how can we stop the defense?Defend the capital?Not to mention whether people can hold the city in panic, but with the Mohists' siege methods, even Ying couldn't defend for a few days. At that time, the king of Chu and all the ministers would be caught in the urn, and when the time came, all the armies would come. What's the use?
Besides, if the army comes to help, how will the food and grass be prepared?And come in batches, the Mo family will be defeated one by one, so what?

But when asked what to do, Da Sima had no choice but said that the Mohist attack was different from the battle of the princes.

In the battle of the princes, the big deal is to move the capital and flee, and it will be repeated in the future.But wherever the Mohists went, they mobilized the people, established political power, dyed the local area black, and increased the number of soldiers and food. How could there be a future in abandoning Jianghan?
But if you don't give up Jianghan, how can you hold on?Even if the news we got now is true, the Mohists have [-] field force to attack Edi, how many soldiers are there in Edi now?

The soldiers of Ejun and Zhucheng are counted, but there are only [-] field soldiers and [-] to [-] boats.It is necessary for the whole army of the king's division to go, so that it can be defended, and it may be possible to increase troops around.

Then send another important minister to command the soldiers of Chen Cai Xudi in Nanyang, Fangcheng, to go straight to the foundation of the Mo family in Sishang, so that it is possible to force them to return to the aid side.

However, relying on the soldiers there alone may not be enough. Sending envoys to contact Wei Hanqi now, I am afraid that when the envoys arrive, the city of Zhu will already belong to Mo...

The monarch and his ministers discussed for several days, but there was no effective countermeasure.
