Chapter 134: Hundreds of times the gold and jade will return (2)
Xiong Dang knew about this incident thirty-six years ago, and many old ministers present also knew about it.
It’s not that they don’t know, but that they didn’t think about this problem at the beginning.
Because this person is not a nobleman or a person who lingers in the courts of various countries, his habitual thinking makes these people not think of this military force independent of various countries for a moment.
Thinking that this hero who had resigned from the army of ten thousand cyclicals thirty-six years ago was still alive, the words of Shen Gong also changed the colors of many Chu nobles present.
Shangqiu, the Song Dynasty, was originally a big city in the world, and it was extremely difficult to capture. Once it could not be captured for a long time, the rescuers of the Three Jins arrived and the Chu people were weak. How could they win?
The Chu State was no longer the Chu State when King Zhuang fought for hegemony. The Chu State, which had experienced the destruction of the Wu people and the rebellion of the Bai Gong, looked strong, but in fact it was difficult to defeat Jin State in the field.
The Song and Zheng countries were sandwiched between Jin and Chu. I don’t know how many wars affected by the Jin and Chu battles, and the construction of Shangqiu City was extremely solid.
Moreover, there were many people in the Song Dynasty like their ancestor Xiang Gong, who were honest and even a little stunned. They did things without regard for the consequences. This is something that everyone in the world knew.
When the King of Chu invited Mr. Zheng and Gong Song to hunt in the field. Zuo Sima Wen Wuwei looked for trouble with Mr. Song, saying that he had to bring his own fire-making tools, but Mr. Song did not bring him, so it was obviously not to give him the face of Sima Zuo. He immediately took Jingtou and beat the guard who was driving for Mr. Song.
Later, the Chu people asked Wen Wuwei to go to Qi State to go on a mission to Qi State, and deliberately did not inform Song State to borrow a way. Wen Wuwei knew that he was dead before he set out: the Song people were stunned. They often did things without any consequences. They humiliated Song Duke back then. Now even if the Chu army is powerful, they must be killed by these two players. On the contrary, the Zheng people are much more sleek and can analyze the situation and do things that are not easily conscientious.
Sure enough, the Chu people obviously found fault and excuses to send troops, but the Song people still caught Wen Wuwei and said that he had passed without borrowing a way, and directly killed the Yangliang dike, completely ignoring the possible consequences.
After hearing the news that Wen Wuwei was killed, the King of Chu was overjoyed and finally found an excuse that he had never found, leaving behind an idiom "struggle up" and sent troops to surround the Song Dynasty.
As a result, the Song people showed their spirit of silence.
The Jin people were so scared that they dared not send troops to rescue the battle not long ago, but the Song people did not surrender. After nine months, they changed their sons and ate in the city, but they did not surrender.
The Chu people mobilized troops again in feudal mobilization, and if they surrounded them, they would cause food shortage next year, but they still failed to capture them.
Because of such a memory, Mo Zi entered Ying alone thirty-six years ago, relying on the 300 disciples who stayed in Shangqiu and his quarrel, the people of Chu dared not act rashly.
Now that Qu Feng talks about Mo Zhe's still alive, everyone present thinks of the siege of Song, the fighting between Mo Zhe and Gongshu, and the prosperity of the Jin people in Huang Chi's battle twenty years ago... they are still scared.
Shangqiu without Modi can still defend for a while, but if Modi led the Momen to Shangqiu together, how could he capture Shangqiu City?
With Mo, no matter Lingyin, Sima, or all county officials, they dared not attack the city directly. They could only choose to encircle and force the Song people to surrender.
Can't fight.
The Gongshu squad has passed away. The elite soldiers need to attack the city. Whose elite private soldiers can use? No one wants their elite private soldiers to die at the hands of the Mozhe, who is famous for defending the city.
Later generations of "Baopuzi" once said: Ban and Zhai are all saints of machinery.
The word "Mechanical" was already available at this time. Ge Hong, in later generations, directly named Gongshu Ban and Mozi "Mechanical Saints". This is the original saying.
Faced with the only mechanical saint left in the world today, the Chu people understood that if the Mohist was in Shangqiu, he would not be able to conquer the city.
Twelve methods of siege, Mo Di responded to them all while chatting and laughing in the palace thirty-six years ago. Now thirty-six years have passed, where is the thirteenth method?
Another mechanical sage, the Duke of the Duke, leaned against the ladder, hooks, warships, etc., gave the Chu people the advantage in the war against Vietnam, and used this to become the throne of Chu. How could the Chu people not know how magical the uses of these machinery were?
But this mechanical saint was defeated by another in the battle formation deduction thirty-six years ago. What's even more terrifying is that the other person is not only alive but also in the Song State.
The Chu army, with peasant soldiers, private soldiers, and feudal conscripts as the main body, had a year's siege of the city, and if there were too many, it would shake the foundation: non-professional soldiers would have to go back to farm, otherwise they would have to go hungry. They were not the Xihe soldiers of Wei, nor were they semi-final soldiers.
While the nobles were silent, Si defeated Jing Zhishu and said, "It is rumored that the three sects of Han, Zhao and Wei obtained Jiahe and followed the decree of heaven to be named marquis. But I heard that these Jiahe belonged to Mozhe. Song Zhishu obtained them from Mozhe and used them to make friends with the three families."
Sibao is a unique official position in Chu, which is equivalent to Sikou in the Central Plains. However, it does not have the power to enforce the law, but changes from the power to enforce the law. The power to enforce the law is in the hands of Zuo Yin, and Sibao in Chu is like Shangzhu Kingdom, which is more of a title of lord.
Jing Zhishu is actually called Shu, but there were other people named Shu in the same era, so in Chu, he added a clan when he was called, and added a character afterward to distinguish it from the rest of the people named Shu.
Xiong Dangqi said: "When King Hui was King Hui, Mo Di came to Chu, and said that it would be unrighteous to attack King Hui. Is it true that the people of Chu will be invincible? The three families of Han, Zhao and Wei will be exterminated? The Mo people still regard us as barbarians?"
Speaking of this, he glanced at Qu Yan with dissatisfaction.
As soon as this matter was mentioned, everyone knew the joke at Shen Gong Qu Feng's family: the concubine's son Qu Jiang, a famous warrior in Chu, killed people at every turn, and others looked at him with a glance and killed everyone's whole family... As a result, he went out and wandered around and became a non-aggressive and loveful Mo.
Now that Si defeated Jing Zhishu, when talking about where Jiahe from the Three Jins came from, Xiong Dang was immediately dissatisfied. This was obviously a double standard to look at the Chu people and the Three Jins.
Duke Shen Qu Feng hurriedly said, "It's not so... In the past, Duke of Luyang talked with Mo Di and talked about the affairs of Qiaoyi. Mo Di did not laugh at the matter of Qiaoyi's food. How could he regard us as barbarians? I heard that among the Mo people, there was a shoemaker named Shangqiu, who got the master of the hermit. The Mo people only said that this thing could benefit the world, but the Song Emperor clan obtained the treasure from the Mo people, and thought it was the best treasure and given to three sects."
Xiong Dang laughed and said, "This is right! I am unrighteous. Could it be that Han, Zhao and Wei are righteous? No wonder I am, I only blame Song and Zheng, between Jin and Chu. I know the methods of the Mo, can he protect me today and the Three Jins tomorrow? If he can defend him, why should Duke Song go to pay homage to the emperor? Isn't it better if he does not rebel against Chu or reject Jin?"
"Who has seen Jiahe look like?"
Xiong Dang was a little curious. Although he knew that the so-called title of Jiahe to be a marquis to obey the destiny was the step that the Han, Zhao and Wei families gave to the Emperor Zhou, he was still curious about what this thing looked like.
The Chu people ate a lot of rice, and the Mo people knew that there might be conflicts with the Chu people, so they did not go deep into the capital of Chu. However, the border county of Chu, which is closer to the Central Plains, knows a lot about these rumors.
Originally, there were many people who dealt with the nobles of Chu and Mo, such as Duke of Luyang, Duke Wenjun, Duke Yangchengjun, Duke Shen and others. However, those county magistrates are not here now, and only Duke Shen and Duke Shen and Duke Qu Jue heard about these things.
Relying on merchants, wheat flour food shops, liquor and other products, the ink sells and promotes them while selling them, making people get used to the existence of the ink sellers, and many of the deeds spread with these shops and merchants.
Qu Zifeng just heard it and said, "I heard that it can produce several stones per mu, which will spread to the world, and the world will not be hungry. I heard that the Mo people believed that Chu was small and the land was wide, and it also benefited from fish and shrimp, and fruits and vegetables in all seasons... so I spread it to the north first, and then spread it to the Chu land after it is spread throughout the Central Plains..."
He also told some of the rumors he heard. After all, he had a relationship with Mozhe and his concubine son. Apart from Duke of Luyang and Lord of Yangcheng, he was probably the one who knew these things the most among the nobles of Chu.
Xiong Dang was shocked when he heard this and asked repeatedly: "Is this matter serious?"
Quehou nodded and said yes, Xiong Dang's face changed suddenly.
I have to say that according to what these ink masters said, it actually makes a lot of sense.
The land of Chu is not as good as the Central Plains, with few cold winters, and there are all kinds of vegetables and fruits and vegetables, and there are many fish and shrimps. There are indeed few people who die when they are hungry.
However, fruits, fruits, fish and shrimps can only ensure that people cannot starve to death, and cannot be used as military rations and military taxes, and it is even more impossible to make the civilians rich and so as to fight with the army.
Twenty years ago, the hegemony of Chu was curbed by the Jin people. Now the Jin State has three points, and the rebellion of the Six Lords has officially ended. If Chu State wants to fight for hegemony, it must fight against the Three Jins.
Such grains were passed to the Three Jins but not to the Chu State. A few years later, the Three Jins were rich and the Chu State remained unchanged, and the offense and defense were bound to be different, and they did not even have the ability to maintain balance.
In the battle of Linqiu, the Three Jins received 30,000 corpses and thousands of chariots, which shocked the world.
The Qin people who fought with Chu and Qin for many years were unable to fight back when Wei Xihe defended Wu Qi.
If the power of the Three Jins increases again and the power of Chu remains unchanged, the Chu people will be afraid that they will find it difficult to reach the Central Plains after decades.
At first, when he heard Qu Feng say that the heroes thirty-six years ago were still there, Xiong Dang was just a little surprised, thinking that he might need to use more troops, but after all, Song is a weak country. As long as the Three Jins do not move, he will have the chance to force Song Gong to surrender.
But when he heard this shoemaker called Shi, he got these things from a hermit, Xiong Dang knew that this matter was extremely serious and had to be solved.
The former may be at most a battle between Chengpu, and another battle between Liangtang can be regained hegemony in twenty years; while the latter is Qu Wuchen who teaches chariots to fight in Wu, and Wu Zixu teaches the skills of building a city in Wu!
Xiong Dang could tell the difference clearly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "If this matter is true, you can book a hundred rides and a car of gold and jade to find this thing."
The nobles present were all shocked, but they didn't expect that the King of Chu would give him a gift of a car appointment and a re-hiring of a car.
Someone may say: "Why does the king value this thing? A cart of gold and jade has been exchanged for grain, rice, and crops, and I have never heard of it."
Xiong Dang said seriously, "This is the sword of Chunjun! In the past, Xue Zhuguan, who thought there were three towns in the city, thousands of horses, two thousand households and two thousand households. How can things be the same? You also have swords, but some people are willing to exchange them with thousands of horses and thousand households and capitals?"
Jing Zhishu heard this and said, "I am only afraid that Mo people will know that we want to attack Song and accuse us of being unrighteous. In the past, Zhu Gou hired Mo Di for a 500-mile title, but Mo Di thought he would not take it without righteousness. The fief of five hundred miles was more than a cart of gold and jade... I am afraid that Mo Di would not feel that it was expensive and could sell righteousness."
