43. The current situation of the Mohists

There is nothing to worry about whether the thief is washing his hands or not.

The night slowly shrouded in, and the guests in the tavern finally dispersed.

The remaining soup and cold roasts were all taken off the table. Apart from the clean table, there was only one pot of wine and two wine glasses.

Su Che drank very little, but the thief was good at drinking, and he also said a lot. He was not talking about the Peach Blossom Sword Pavilion, but more about talking about the current situation of the Mohist government city.

It's like complaining, but it should be said to be confiscating.

Beiyan was indeed aiming at the Mo family. In fact, before Liangdu fell, the Beiyan court had already sent people to the government city to contact him, but it was a war at that time, so the matter was not reached and it was dragged on without reaching a negotiation.

Later, the Liang Kingdom was destroyed, and Northern Yan advanced straight in and completely took over the Liang Kingdom's land. This time, the Northern Yan court went to the government city again to discuss cooperation.

"The wolf cubs in Beiyan didn't want the Mo family to be incorporated into the court like the losers of the Later Zhou Gong, but they just wanted to get the Mo family's method of smelting and casting weapons." The Tuo Shuai's eyes were a little drunk, but his face was full of ridicule and disdain, "Don't say whether this is called cooperation or not. It's just like kicking the Mo family away, and he can't even say sincerity."

Su Che was a little confused, "Bei Yan has abundant resources, and the method of smelting depends entirely on exchange with the Hou Zhou. This time, there is a chance to contact the Mo family, why is this still the case?"

"Have you heard of the Northern Region?" The Tuo Shuai poured the wine and signaled.

Su Che waved his hand to refuse, but poured a cup of tea.

"What's wrong with the north where Beiyan is located?" he asked.

The Northern Region refers to the distant north, further north of Northern Yan. No one knows how vast it is.

When the term "Northern Region" was introduced into the Central Plains, it was because hundreds of years ago that the Northern Yan royal family was in chaos. Later, the usurpers were defeated and led the remaining troops to flee. They were attacked thousands of miles by the reign of the emperor. Although they had not been killed, they were driven north and into the vast and desolate land.

Then, these remnants of Northern Yan's army were destroyed in the northern area that had been desolate for thousands of years. Only the usurper at that time struggled back to the territory of Northern Yan and was captured by the government troops who were still searching for the undispersed ones.

Afterwards, the Northern Yan court learned that there were other people in that desolate territory, and there were also forces such as military soldiers, spears and swords.

At the right time, the usurper was seriously injured and died. The Emperor of Northern Yan was furious and ordered the three armies to go north along the blurred map drawn on the grounds that the barbarians outside the territory killed their compatriots in the royal family.

It was this long attack that fully revealed the external style in front of the Northern Yan and the Central Plains. The Northern Yan Wolf Cavalry drove thousands of miles, spreading the five countries in the Qing Dynasty and the Northern Region, and embracing the wild land into the territory.

Hundreds of years have passed, and the originally deserted northern region has become a land of fertile grass, but now it has become a place for northern swallows to raise horses.

But this former land of the five northern countries was not a complete northern region. There were mountains and seas outside the five countries, and naturally there were people on the other side.

But everything is still too far away, far away from Northern Yan and even further away from Central Plains.

Su Che felt that the Northern Region that the Tuo Shuai was talking about at this time might not be the Northern Region under the control of Beiyan now, but the farther place.

The thief chuckled and said, "More than half a month ago, a few escaped people were found outside the border of the Northern Region, and they were sent to Yong'an City, Yandu overnight."

"The escaped person?" Su Che said subconsciously.

"Crossing mountains and ridges, coming across the ocean." said the Tuo Shuai: "There are also wars in the north, and they are fleeing craftsmen."

When Su Che heard this, he understood, "Is there anyone who can make a blacksmith?"

The thief smiled and said, "It's not only those who can make irons, but also those who can cook and cook, tailor clothes and paint, and there are a variety of things."

"So, their skills..."

"The Northern Yan court was shocked." The thief paused and said, "This time I went to the Mo family, there were two big bearded men following me. Oh, I forgot to say that those people in the Northern Region look different from us, and they all have big beards and colorful."

Su Che was speechless, and the description he said was unimaginable.

"Their skills are indeed brilliant, and we can't do many of the things we show." The Tuishu Shuai said calmly, but there was no depressed that was inferior to others or was overwhelmed. "But if it was just this, those wolf cubs would think that these big bearded men could handle the smelting and casting methods of the Mo family, that would be really fantastic."

Su Che nodded. All things have their own strengths. The Mohist school has been passed down for thousands of years. Among them, the skills are of a certain level, and there must be some truths that ordinary people cannot understand. Just like the unique skills of magic, they are not something that anyone can practice after reading them.

"What happened later?" he asked.

"Three times, the Mo family lost one match." said the Tuo Shuai.

Having said that, Su Che didn't see any sarcasm on his face. According to the other party's temperament, he should be sarcastic about those bearded men and the people of Beiyan at this time.

The Pirate Grudged his teeth slightly, "The Mo family lost a game and handed over the fire control method that can melt the black ice iron of the Great Snow Mountain."

Su Che was stunned, then frowned, "Threat?"

"That's right." The thief was a little helpless, a little discouraged, and more angry. "Although the Mo family had a solid city, they were not facing a certain sect family, but the entire Yan State. However, the Northern Yan court was also afraid of doing things in absolute way. After all, the Mo family still had a position in the world, and they were also afraid that the Mo family would vote for Houzhou, so they made a bet before the competition."

Su Che frowned, "But I'm afraid that they will succeed this time and will gain more and more strength in the future."

The Tuo Shuai sighed, "Do you still remember Chen Guanli?"

Chen Guanli, former general of Liang State and commander of the Heifeng Army, sat in the border of Yangshan County and resisted the Later Zhou Dynasty. He became the King of Southern Liang of the Later Zhou Dynasty a few months ago, seized Yangshan County, and joined forces with the Later Zhou Dynasty to force the Chu family to surrender, advance from the south, and gradually eroded the Liang State.

Because of his status, he knew the defense of border cities in the southern Liang State and the garrisons of various prefectures and counties, so he won the battle all the way, and his power almost competed with the Northern Yanyan Chang'an.

Su Che certainly remembered this person. It was because of the Black Wind Army under the other party that he and the Thieves almost died in Yangshan County.

It was an official army as fierce as a wild dog, and it was more like a group of bandits.

"Chen Guanli is now leading troops outside the city of the organs." said the thief.

Su Che was shocked. Later Zhou and Northern Yan had an agreement, and the two countries were across the canal and did not invade each other. Chen Guanli is now a general of Later Zhou. How could he lead his army to the government city that the Northern Yan court had already paid attention to?

"The Later Zhou court was also interested in the Mo family." The thief yawned and said, "Although the Later Zhou Dynasty had a prison guard, the Mo family also brought a lot of methods to put the bottom of the box back then, not to mention that if the Mo family really cooperated with Northern Yan, it would also be a threat to the Later Zhou."

Su Che contacted the foreword and said, "So, with the constraints of Later Zhou and Chen Guanli, the Mohist family planned to deal with each other?"
