Chapter 312 The dazzling relics of ten thousand bones (5)
The carriage came slowly, and there was a riot in the camp immediately, and many people surrounded and watched.
The man in the car said loudly: "The Mo family is responsible for benefiting the world and is running for the world to stop war. Today, when the war is at war, corpses are piled up between the moats. The weather is hot, and they may be eaten by insects and ants, so the soul cannot return home. Therefore, the Mo went to the Jinzheng camp to communicate with the Chu people. Before dark, people can send people to collect the bodies..."
The man held a flag in the car, not afraid, and there were also brave people. Zheng Renzhu, who had seen Mozhe in the capital, shouted: "Is your Mo family going to help the King of Chu?"
The man in the car smiled and said, "The Mo family only benefited the world. Whether it was the King of Chu or the Marquis of Wei, as long as the Mo family judged by the rules of heaven, if it could benefit the world, they would help each other. It was not to help the King of Chu, but to benefit the world. If one day, Zheng State was bullied by a great power, the Mo people would of course also provide weapons and equipment to help repair the city defense."
He bypassed the real role Mozhe played in Niu Lanyi, only talked about the truth, and took the initiative to talk about collecting corpses and returning to the soul, which also won the favor of everyone, and the soldiers looked at each other.
Gongzi Ji and others had long guessed that there was a Mozhe in the city to control it, but it was meaningless to say such things at this time.
He also knew that the Mohist was dead and his words were fierce. He knew that this was an envoy and was afraid that the Mohist school would take advantage of the situation to promote it, so he hurriedly called people to enter the tent without any verbal disputes, and only asked why it was.
The Mo said again, and never mentioned that the commander of Niu Lanyi was Mo. The Mo said, as the mediator, communicated with the three parties of Chu, Jin and Zheng with a neutral attitude, and asked the Jin and Zheng coalition forces to collect the bodies, which also facilitated the return of the dead soldiers.
By the way, there are priests within the Mohist family. These rituals such as soul-returning and soul-returning can be performed by the Mohist family. After all, they are all from all over the world and are treated equally in the eyes of the Mohist family.
Gongzi Ji also knew that the Mo family would not cheat on this matter, and that the Mo family had already shouted out for this matter, and that he would inevitably be resentful if the soldiers did not allow them.
When asked how to operate, the Mohist took out some Mohist flags and said that in the evening, he would not attack the city, and the corpse collectors would not carry weapons.
Gongzi Ji agreed and took over the flag of the Mo family. When Mo left, Gongzi Ji couldn't help but say, "After you go back, tell the 'Chu people' that I will break the city!"
But the man replied calmly: "Young Master has already fought an unjust battle. Whether the city is broken or not is broken, it is not right. If the city is broken, please do not kill more."
After answering in a cold and humble manner, he left on his own without saying anything harsh and bold.
In the evening, the Jin-Zheng coalition forces sent two thousand people, without weapons, took the flags sent by the Mo family to collect the bodies under the city wall.
I was still strict at the top of the city and ordered that arrows not be fired. Looking at the Mo family flag underneath, I felt secretly happy.
I could not attack the city at night, and the city did not relax. Taking advantage of the success of defending the city today, I boosted my morale and said more about waiting for the city to petition to Duke Luyang after the defense was over.
On the second day, the Jin-Zheng coalition forces did not move, and it seemed that they were preparing for siege equipment.
For two consecutive days, on the morning of the fourth day, the drums started again. I knew that today should be the most dangerous day. As long as I could hold on to today, I could continue to defend.
…………
The capital of Zheng State.
The army gathered, and the Zheng army, who was originally in Yuguan, quietly returned to the army and was gathering.
The ruling Si Ziyang disagreed with the opposition and wanted to gather troops to take advantage of the opportunity of Zheng and Jin coalition forces to attack Chu and siege the capital of South Korea Yangdi.
Yangdi is only three or five days away from Zheng. Now the main force of the South Korean army is divided into two, and part of them is preparing to attack the Daliang City of Chu in the eastern enclave of Huangchi Yongqiu, an enclave in the eastern South Korea.
The other part is concentrated in Xiangcheng and Chengfu, guarding against the Chu State's troops from Ye, Wuyang, Kunyang and other counties to counterattack South Korea and make a move to prevent the Chu people from going to Luyang to support.
Si Ziyang was convinced that as long as this raid on the capital of South Korea would be successful.
It is not necessary to kill South Korea, Zheng State does not have this ability.
But it can force South Korea to sign an alliance and increase personal prestige. After all, the blood feud between Zheng and Han is the basis for Si Ziyang to rule.
He was sure that the Wei people could only mediate and would not help South Korea send troops to attack Wei. Because Wang Ziding was still in the capital of Zheng, Wei needed Wang Ziding and Zheng's support.
Moreover, what Wei wants is hegemony, a long-term strategy to cause chaos in Chu. It is impossible to tolerate Zheng and Han going to war at this time, and they will definitely mediate in the play to promote alliances.
This is not considered a attack on allies, and it is definitely a matter of the world to join the prince. Zheng Han himself has the monarch's private grudges, and the public and private are clearly distinguished.
This is also a morally evident past.
As for the side troops who went deep into Chu to cooperate with Wang Ziding, Si Ziyang was not worried. With the young master attack there, Wei State would not release people from Zheng and Han to fight, and they would definitely keep peace between the two sides.
South Korea set the capital in Yangdi, which was clearly planned to attack Zheng State, because South Korea had no room for development except for the expansion of Zheng State, which Si Ziyang knew very well.
Si Ziyang's purpose was very clear. He took advantage of the opportunity that Wei State needed the prince to set aside the Zheng-Han dispute, and surrounded the capital of Han to force the alliance. He then led his troops eastward. Taking advantage of the time when Chu State had no time to take care of it, he seized Zhongmu of Chu in one fell swoop and connected Zheng's enclaves such as the sour jujube, Yangwu, Guiling and other enclaves. This was the only feasible development space for Zheng State, otherwise it would be locked down by the Three Jins and Chu sooner or later.
Going west, Zheng State had no room for expansion, so it was difficult to fight the Emperor Zhou, which was to destroy himself.
After all, the etiquette system is still there, and the Three Jins have just been granted a title of marquis. They always have to give Zhou emperor a favor, and perhaps they are eager to have such an excuse for such a righteous world.
Once the plan succeeds, the alliance with the Koreans and the capture of Chu Zhongmu and connect the Zheng State enclave together, Si Ziyang can immediately announce the support of the Central Plains Alliance of the Mo family, and still obtain the support of the Mo people as a victim of a weak country and a small country.
Now, more than 40,000 elite troops of Zheng State gathered in the capital and advanced lightly, striving to pass the Yingshui River as quickly as possible, and directly besieged Yangdi, South Korea, leaving the Koreans without time to react.
If the Koreans have allied with Zheng Cheng, it would be best. If not, then defeat Yangdi and force the Koreans to form an alliance.
The least, you can wait until the Wei people come forward to mediate. At this time, Wei State least hopes that the Zheng people will rebel, and Wei State is quite dissatisfied with South Korea's expansion in Zheng State. South Korea has obtained Zheng, or has the ability to challenge the hegemony of Wei State.
Now the little brothers of the Three Jins are not united. Even though the Zhao people made good friends, this time they sent troops to attack Chu was considered a rebellion. They were unwilling to be the front pawns of the Wei people to expand in the Central Plains, and they were even more unwilling to help Wei to achieve great hegemony.
Once the Chu people declined, it was hard to say that the Han people, but for long-term considerations, the Wei State had to weaken the Chu State. In the dilemma, the Zheng people's attitude at this time was crucial.
The situation in Zheng State was treacherous, and Si Ziyang knew in his heart that he could only win but not fail. Once he failed, Dazai Xin and Zheng Gong would seize the opportunity to defeat him.
Even though the rural school was destroyed after Zichan died, the Zheng people's habit of discussing national affairs remained unchanged, and Si Ziyang knew that the Zheng people were dissatisfied with the attack on Chu.
Zheng and Chu have been in alliance for many years and have been relying on Chu to suppress the Three Jins. Moreover, Zheng did not have the ability to fight on both sides before.
The blood feud with South Korea was able to convince the Zheng people, so the Battle of Fushu defeated the Korean army. Now, the attack on Han can still conquer the people's hearts.
All this is a bet. If Si Ziyang, as the governor, did not have the heart to be a big country, he would not need to bet.
But he had the ambition of a great country, but Zheng was narrow and narrow. This time the war between Jin and Chu was Siziyang's last chance for Zheng State.
After all, Zheng State was the first time that the princes who shot and injured the Zhou emperor, and his ancestors had a wealth of wealth.
Therefore, on the day after the Jin-Zheng coalition forces set out to fight against Luyang, a gamble about the future of Zheng State and the future of the Siziyang family began.
…………
Luyang.
There was a scout from the Chu people in Niu Lan. The Duke of Luyang knew about Niu Lanyi now and also knew about some changes in Niu Lanyi before, including his loans and interest, which were used by the Mo family to win people's hearts.
He acquiesced.
Because he really knows the big harm and the small harm. Although the money-interest is painful, this time the Jin-Zheng coalition forces came straight to Luyang. As his fiefdom and foundation, as long as he can defend it, not to mention just some money-interest, he is willing to bear even no matter how much gold and jade it is.
The battle the day before yesterday was transmitted to Luyang by scouts. The Jin-Zheng coalition failed to siege the city on the first day, and suffered heavy losses. The bodies were collected that day.
The Duke of Luyang believed that the Mo family had the ability to defend the city, but he also had his own considerations.
Since the Mo family is good at guarding, then you can continue to wait, continue to wait for the Jin-Zheng coalition forces to consume their strength, and wait for Niu Lan to drain the last drop of blood.
Then he led the troops from Luyang to invite the Jin-Zheng coalition forces.
He has no reinforcements.
The Chu monarchs in Yecheng, Gaoling, Kunyang and other places refused to support. They needed to defend themselves. If they had the opportunity, they might launch a counterattack against Zheng Han, but they would not give up their cities to support Duke Luyang.
Besides, there are a large number of Fengjun who are watching operas. Fengjun County Dukes from Shangcai and other places even look forward to the victory of the Jin-Zheng coalition forces, so that the prince can ascend the throne. Anyway, Jin-Zheng cannot fight them.
The King of Chu now cannot send troops to support him. The King of Chu's king's army is directly under the command of the capital and must stay near the capital to intimidate the nearby monarchs.
The King of Chu knew the attitude of those vassal kings and understood that many vassal kings were unreliable, but now there is no countermeasure. Apart from being shocked, he could only wait for the result of Duke Luyang.
It can be said that the entire Chu State's attention is focused on the direction of Luyang.
If you win, many fenced monarchs will turn to support the King of Chu and send troops to fight back. Because now is the most uncomfortable time for the throne, and after passing this hurdle, you will always be more stable.
After defeat, many county dukes and feng monarchs immediately rebeled, shouting slogans of supporting Prince Ding's inheritance, and directly joined forces with Jin and Zheng to force the King of Chu to escape.
The Duke of Luyang understood that now, or the entire Chu State, had only less than 40,000 troops in his hands.
After winning, many county magistrates and princes will work hard. At that time, they may have 570,000 people against Zheng Han. But now when the troops are needed the most, there are only more than 30,000 people.
The Duke of Luyang understood that Niu Lanyi was too small and might not last long.
He also agreed to Mo that as long as the Jin-Zheng coalition forces are delayed for ten days, the enemy will send troops to fight against Jin-Zheng once they are tired. However,... the answer is one thing, and it is another thing to really prepare to do this.
