North of the Yellow River.
Zhao Yilie people.
A Wei scout shouted in terror on the hillside.
"Gaoliu's cavalry! Gaoliu's cavalry! They are coming!"
Several Wei scouts on the top of the mountain jumped up nervously, looking down the hillside, smoke and dust had already risen in the distance.
The two jumped on their horses and galloped towards Handan. The remaining scouts quickly packed their luggage and wanted to leave.
But soon several Mohist scouts followed them, and after approaching several times, the Mohist scouts did not entangle with these Wei people, and even a few arrogant Mohist scouts shouted from a distance to tell them to go back and tell Ximen Bao , let him withdraw.
Lieren is not far from Handan, the distance is only a few tens of miles. The people of Wei have heard the news of Gaoliu Mojia sending troops, but they don't think that this army just defeated Zhao Gongzichao and Que Yujun's troops in Xiawu Mountain last month. , It appeared near Handan in less than two months.
Among the Gaoliu cavalry marching in the distance, the concubine Mie, who has been promoted to a sergeant for a year and has made many meritorious deeds, led his company to form six groups. The horse with a white star on its forehead that had followed him for a long time was tearing Biting the girth of a nearby horse, he stretched out his hand to pull the rein, but he was reluctant to hit it.
In just one year, the concubine Mie has made many achievements. The Mo family has been preparing for more than a year to send troops today. Last year, the expedition to welcome Suolu to return to the country stabilized the Hu people in the north of Gaoliu. Temporarily making an alliance with them and defeating several Hu tribes made Gaoliu no danger in a short time.
Mi, the concubine, heard news about her sister a while ago, and heard that they seemed to have gone deep into Lou Fan, and went to the cloud north of the Yellow River's zigzag turn. The Hu people there are now very honest and dare not bend their bows and complain.
The Zhuxia people near Gaoliu now have an overwhelming advantage over the Hu people. Those merchants who went deep into the grassland relied on firearms and chariots, which were difficult to use on the Sishang battlefield but extremely effective on the grassland. , often more than a hundred people can make a settlement of more than a thousand people helpless.
Potatoes, corn and other crops are completely suitable for the climate of Gaoliu. At this time, the weather is warm and the line of farming and grazing is farther north. The Gaoliu area has fully adapted to farming life. delusional.
The development of ironware in the Han Dynasty made Han soldiers one against five, but the development and tactics that crossed the age at this time, against Lin Hu who had not yet formed an imperial organization and the Bone Age, I am afraid that one would be against ten.
Even if there are settlements intending to plunder, the cavalry in Gaoliu can chase and kill, and even those tribes that have obtained the right to trade in Gaoliu will be eager to send troops to cooperate to divide the cattle and horses.
This time, the concubine Mie was still the company commander of the sergeant, but there were three companies under his jurisdiction, because this time the troops were mobilized in Gaoliu, and a large number of retired soldiers and farmers also participated. After all, this time the troops were not sent by the Mohists. Instead, Zhao Gongzizhang granted the land he owned in name to the people of Gaoliu, and exchanged autonomy for the blood tax of the people in Gaoliu area.
Until now, the concubine Mi can't help laughing whenever she recalls the scene of the oath that day.
He didn't know exactly how Qu Jiangzi, Hu Feizi and others talked with Zhao Gongzizhang, but because of the equestrian skills he showed in front of the barbarians, he became the guardian of the alliance and witnessed everything that happened in the alliance oath.
There are some truths that concubine Mi will not know.
In fact, the Mo family has been waiting for an opportunity on Zhao's side since welcoming Suo Lushen last year to resolve the possible threat north of Gaoliu.
Before the war between Qi and Mo, Hu Feizi came to Handan first, because the Mo family had to dismantle the Three Jins from the beginning to prevent Wei Guo from interfering in the Qi-Mo war.
More than ten years ago, the Mohists began to infiltrate Zhao, making maximum use of the conflict between Zhao Wugong and Zhao Gongzizhang, which put Zhao Gongzizhang in an extremely embarrassing position.
The State of Wei has always been worried about the rise of the Mohists. Because of the existence of the son of Zhao Liehou, Duke Wu of Zhao needs to establish a good relationship with the State of Wei, thinking that his son will be in power. The son Zhang is supported by the veterans left by Zhao Liehou. The feudal Handan developed vigorously.
This kind of situation, Gong Zhonglian, an old official of Liehou, can see clearly, but one is that Zhao State can no longer be used as a gun by Wei State, and the other is that even if Gong Zhonglian knows about Mohism's thoughts, he is happy to do so.
When Duke Wu of Zhao died, Prince Zhang succeeded to the throne under the urging of a group of veteran officials.
Originally, the choice of Gong Zizhang would be very compromised. To defend Handan, Wei Guo could not attack for a long time and immediately withdrew his troops. The peace talks between the two countries, Wei Guo recognized the legitimacy of Gong Zizhang and denied the right of succession to Gong Zichao, and this ended.
However, in order to dismantle the Three Jins and instigate the Zhongshan Kingdom to restore the country, the Mohists organized businessmen to support the Zhongshan Kingdom with money and guns.
The south sent engineers and artillery troops to support Chu State to attack Wang Ziding and force Wei State.
This makes the situation extremely ugly:
It is difficult for Wei Guo to ride a tiger to attack, and it is impossible for Gong Zizhang to trust Wei Guo, and it seems that there is a lot of money to be made, and there is no second choice except to start fighting.
Gongzi Zhang is full of confidence. This is not a situation in which Wei and Zhao turned against each other in history, but a situation in which Chu, Zhongshan and Zhao three lines fought against Wei. Gong Zhonglian thought this was a rare opportunity to get rid of Wei's interference and get rid of it at the same time. The aristocrats inside continue to deepen reforms.
Before the battle between Qi and Mo was fought, the Mo family first complained that Wei Guo launched an unjust war. The matter between Que and Jun before the Mo family was also fanfare and inciting public opinion for the subsequent hegemony in Sishang.
Before that, when Wu Qi defected and passed through Sishang, it was the Mo family who publicized Wu Qi's entry into Qin in the newspapers and provided technical support such as iron smelting for the benefit of Qin people.
There is a group of rebels on the Qin side, and it sounds like they have a lot of love; it's not that Wei Hou doesn't know what kind of character Wu Qi is.
Wei and Zhao went to war, Wei intervened in the succession of Zhao, and then the Mohists and Qi went to war. Wu Qi was opposed by the nobles in Qin.
Wu Qi was opposed by the nobles of the state of Qin, and the state of Wei could safely mobilize Xihe soldiers to interfere with the state of Zhao.Ximenbao in Yedi was capable and began to besiege Handan; Leyang in Zhongshan had not yet committed suicide at that time, and Uncle Cuo wanted to see Leyang letting Wei Jian be Wu Qi's shadow to prove that it was right to drive Wu Qi away and support Wei The country fought on all sides to play the strategic initiative of Wen Hou; South Korea agreed to annex Zheng Guo for Wei Guo and continued to form an alliance with Wei Guo, and went south to harass Chu Nanyang.
The Mohists learned from Song Xianggong, and because "the people of Lu are innocent", he let Liang's father and doctor pass through the Lu territory and enter the Fei Kingdom. Zhao Guogong's son Zhang began to waver and hesitate, suspecting that the Mohist family was about to end. All sides win.
However, the Qin State tacitly hoped that the fight between Wei and Zhao would continue, and immediately let Wu Qicheng Chongquan and Linxi River, so that Wei State could have mobilized soldiers but now had to guard against Qin State's revenge.
Gong Zizhang became firmer again from hesitation, and felt that he could continue to fight.
Afterwards, the Pingyin Army of the State of Qi was destroyed in the First Battle of Nanjishui. Leyang of Zhongshan thought it was an insult and committed suicide. Mercenaries funded by merchants defeated Gong Zizhi in Zhongshan, and Wei retreated steadily; Chu solved the rebellion of Prince Ding;
Gong Zizhang's attitude changed again. He felt that this battle could not only continue, but also completely weaken the state of Wei and completely solve the nobles of the Gongzi Dynasty. hit.
But then, as soon as the First Battle of Nanjishui ended, Wei and Han broke their alliance and flirted with the Mo family in private.
The reform of the Qin State was launched, and many nobles opposed it, and the civil turmoil in Qin was imminent.
The state of Chu basically quelled the Prince Ding's rebellion, but the army of the state of Wei and the army of the state of Wei did not fight against the army of Chu.
Gong Zizhang's determination before was too ruthless.
The successful restoration of the Zhongshan Kingdom, the complete victory of the Mohists in Sishang, and the non-advancement and retreat of the Chu Kingdom on the southern front all made the strategic situation of the Wei Kingdom extremely ugly - the original strategic situation could accept the sale of the son dynasty, As long as we continue to maintain the friendship between Wei and Zhao, there is still a lot to do.
In the current strategic situation, if we don’t get rid of Zhao State, we don’t take the opportunity to weaken Zhao State... There are Mohists on Si, Chu State in Nanyang, Chu State in Daliang, and Qin State in the west. If there is another Zhao State that is ready to fight Wei at any time, Wei Guo really couldn't take it anymore.
On the one hand, it negotiated peace with the Mohists, and on the other hand, it confronted Chu. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Qin State’s reform and civil strife, Wei State had to fight desperately: making peace with the Mohist School meant that the Mohist School, which had been silent in the Gaoliu area, might not be involved. The dispute between Wei and Zhao.
Immediately afterwards, Uncle Cuo’s relatives and commanders of Xihe went straight to the Taihang Mountains through South Korea; the Wei army in the Anyang area cut off the connection between Zhao’s capital city and Handan along the Zhangshui River, and used Wei’s enclave to cut the essence of Zhao into two parts. Ximen Leopard continued to besiege Handan; he began to negotiate with Zhongshan to recognize Zhongshan in order to disgust Zhao in the future. Gongzi Zhi began to gather the remaining forces and marched southward at Juluze;
The situation of Gong Zizhang is a bit stretched.
Gong Zhonglian, a veteran of the Liehou era, passed away.
The connection between Handan City and Zhongmou was cut off, and Xihe military soldiers continued to march in. More importantly, the Gongzi Dynasty had already declared itself a lord. If it is not good, it will also weaken Zhao Guo.
The current situation is that Gong Zizhang can't talk about it if he wants to, so he can only bite the bullet and fight on.
In Handan City, Hu Feizi helped to defend the city, but he stood still when he was able to fight out. Hu Fu, Gong Zizhang's cronies can't mobilize soldiers, besides, they are all farmers, soldiers and businessmen from Handan City, who are all instigated by the Mohists, hoping to bargain with Gong Zizhang by fighting.
The Mohists wantonly "praise and kill" Gongzizhang, saying directly, "How difficult it is to rejuvenate the country, this time is an opportunity for Zhao Guo to prosper. As long as those powerful princes can be eradicated, Zhao Gongzizhang will have the merits of Xiangzi and Jianzi." In the past, Xiangzi Jianzi started the military meritorious service, and it was the Mohist’s righteousness to honor the virtuous.” Then the Mohist land reforms in Jishui and Wenshui caused many hereditary nobles to wait and see.
For this reason, the army of Wei State is in the south, the nobles are watching, and a cousin is standing on his own as a marquis. Qin State has no time to seize Xihe, and the Mohists have announced that they will not take Chengyang Linqiu...the only force that Gong Zizhang can ask for , that is, the Mohist troops on Gaoliu's side.
The Mohists have been carefully planning to dismantle the Three Jins and seek the Hetao, but in fact they have long been up for grabs.
A hesitant and determined to make four changes is now impatient, and a man who has been planning for more than ten years to lure and wait for him everywhere, and this is how the "Oath to the Democratic Alliance" in the memory of the concubine Prison Mi came about.
