Chapter 127: Wang Pu with a black belly
The states of Chu and Qi attacked the state of Wei, because they were worried that the state of Huai would take the opportunity to attack, so neither of them mobilized the whole army to attack Wei. Therefore, although the battle was lost, there was still a large army in the country.
The world is full of wars, and the princes are constantly attacking. No one expected that a small Wei State would break Qin, defeat Chu, capture the Marquis of Qi, and dominate the world.
And when the Central Plains was in flames of war, the Huai State located in the south was relatively peaceful, after Wang Qi moved the capital to Jinling, and the treasury was full after decades of development. After seeing the strife in the Central Plains, Wang Pu began to annex the surrounding small states.
The Huai State originally competed with the Chu State, and did not annex the small states of Lu and Zhoulai to the north of Chao and the four states of Zhong and Cai. Now that the Huai State had finished digesting the land and was strong, Wang Pu began to annex these small countries.
Among these small countries, the state is the largest, but even the population of the state is only about 300,000, how can it be compared with Huai.
If the Central Plains countries had not been in chaos, the capture of the state by the Huai State might have attracted the intervention of other countries, but now the Central Plains has been in chaos because of the stirring of the Wei State.
Wang Pu did not hesitate, and immediately ordered Xu Jun to be the Sima of the Left Army, commanding an army of 50,000 to prepare to annex the state.
Of course, in order to reflect the benevolence and righteousness of our Huai State and distinguish it from the barbarians of Chu State, Wang Pu gave the state a chance to make up for it, and specially stated that as long as they came to pay tribute within two months and sent people to apologize, Huai Guo could not blame the past and no longer attack them.
When Zhou Laiguo heard that Huai sent troops, he hurriedly sent envoys to Huai to pay tribute with a large amount of goods, and was willing to let the prince come as a hostage.
It's just that Wang Pu has long wanted to annex the state, how can he give them a chance? The so-called opportunity is actually not available to the state at all. The two months were just for the preparation of grain and grass for the army.
Wang Pu directly ordered the secret guards to take action, find some savage robbers, and besiege the envoy from the state in the wilderness, blocking the north of the nest. As long as the state envoy does not appear on the land of Huai, it is not coming. You said you sent an envoy? Sorry, I didn't see it, so I just didn't come.
When two months later, the Huai State mission has not yet come, and it is justified for the Huai State to send troops again. Huai Gong personally ordered to give you a chance, but you didn't come, this is completely not taking Huai Guo seriously.
For a time, the whole Huai country was excited, and a small state dared to be so big, where would the face of the Huai country be put without punishing them?
Seeing that the military heart was available, Wang Pu immediately ordered the 50,000 troops of Huai State to attack the state.
The state came to ask for help from the state of Qi and the state of Chu, but the state of Qi and the state of Chu were attacking the state of Wei at this time, how could they have time to manage the state of Lai? The state is isolated, the Huai army has sharp armor, and it is already equipped with iron armor and iron straight knives.
Although the state has been prepared, the military strength of the Huai country is crushing the state to the country, not to mention that there are a large number of advanced siege equipment.
The trebuchet made by the craftsman was used to siege the city, and the state could not resist it at all. After capturing a city, Wang Pu sent the disciples of the Legalists in the palace to take over the city. At the same time, all the noble officials in the city were moved away and sent to Huiji.
Without the upper nobility, Huai confiscated a large amount of land and distributed it to the people, completely abolishing the well field system and slavery in the state. Xu Jun promulgated and implemented a series of policies to benefit the people in the state after the reform of Huaiguo, and immediately won the support of the people in the state.
In addition, the Huai army has strict military discipline, and anyone who dares to rob the people, burn, kill and loot after breaking the city, and the female cadre is directly beheaded. Therefore, after the Huai army entered the state, it was even more popular than the army of the state.
The reality is so magical, the nobles of the state and the country regard the people as slaves, and the so-called well field system has long collapsed and become the property of the nobles, and these people are just slaves to the nobles to farm.
The people had no food and clothing, and they toiled all day long, but they had no food. After the Huai army conquered the state, after stabilizing the situation, they opened a warehouse to release grain, opened the treasury, and distributed the cloth and salt to the people.
At the same time, according to Wang Pu's order, every time a city was captured, the students of the Legalists were
began to implement the system of Huai State here, clear the land, move away the nobles, and divide the land equally among the people.
Although a series of operations seem troublesome, but the effect is really surprisingly good, the people who originally had a sense of resistance to the Huai State to attack the state immediately abandoned the state after seeing the Huai system.
Even before the Huai army attacked, people spontaneously came to take refuge, willing to lead the way for the Huai army, and willing to cooperate with the Huai army to attack.
Since the Huai State occupied the Xu State Chao State, there has been no attack on the state for decades, and after the state has no external troubles, the politics have become more and more corrupt, and the oppression of the lower classes of the people has become more and more cruel.
After having the previous cities as an example, as soon as the army of Huai State arrived, the people of the state and the country rushed to take refuge and lead the way. With almost no effort, the Huai State occupied the entire state of Laiguo.
Of course, the system of Huai State can spread so quickly in the state and country, and a large part of this is due to the secret guard of Huai State.
......
The news of Huai's attack on the state was not hidden, and as a disciple of the Mo family, he also had the concept of loving and not attacking. After many Mojia disciples knew that the Huai State was attacking the state, they wrote one after another, saying that the Huai State was attacking the state, which was an unjust war, and asked Wang Pu not to attack the state.
Wang Pu left all these letters, and waited until the Huai State captured a city, and then ordered to meet with those Mo scholars.
"Your Majesty, the state is not guilty, this battle to capture the state is an unjust war, and please withdraw the army." The bird slipped away and was not polite at all, and said bluntly after saluting.
Wang Pu is not angry, as the third son of the Mandate of Heaven of the Wang family, Wang Pu has a deep grasp of human nature, if he is cut open, in addition to the charm of the appearance of 95, the inside is black.
But Wang Pu, who is proficient in the art of scheming and controlling people, is not a little gloomy in his personality, if he changes someone, he will be directly a generation of heroes, but under the interference of Wang's education and Zijue, Wang Pu rarely uses conspiracy.
After hearing the words of the bird slipping away, Wang Pu did not answer, but waved his hand and asked the temple man next to him to send a bamboo slip over for him to see.
"Bird slip away, you Mo family put aside those ideas, his most basic ideal is to let the people live a good life, right, then you can see how the people live after Huaiguo goes to the state!"
The bird slipped away and took a quick look at the bamboo slip, and soon the whole person was stunned, and muttered:
"Impossible, impossible, how could this be..."
