The state is equivalent to the Mohist organ, that is, an instrument.
War is the grindstone that most tests this instrument. The strength of its ability to mobilize monks is the level of authority of a political hall.
During the Wuyi Campaign, Bai Zimo was able to calmly and quickly mobilize the monks from all sides. This action was the best way to maintain and promote the Demon Emperor's authority.
Sometimes, when you are in front of the formation, even if your troops are not moving forward, you can still make the enemy suspicious and commotion.
For example, the Sui Dynasty general He Ruobi always changed his troops in front of the Chen Dynasty. His troops were noisy and powerful, and he was crazy about Chen Dynasty's mentality. When the Chen Dynasty became paralyzed, they suddenly made a sneak attack and launched a battle to level the Chen Dynasty that had been prepared by many parties.
Since the battle of Hangu Pass, the Shang Kingdom has not waged war for a long time.
A year ago, the Shang State had already secretly gathered troops and prepared troops. The preparations at that time were in response to Bu Guren. ——If Bu Guren falls into a disadvantage in the fight with Bai Zimo, he will choose to drive the tiger to devour the wolf and use the power of Shang State to fight against Bai Zimo.
It's a pity that "friends" represent roads, and the road of the Nine Sons Holy Army seems to be far wider than the road provided by Bu Guren.
Li Binyang came to the General's Mansion and wandered outside the Duke of Wei's Mansion. After a while, a figure strolled over, it was Wei Binye.
"Finally it's out." Li Binyang sighed in self-pity.
After not seeing each other for many days, Wei Binye was actually half a head taller than Li Binyang, and even a little wider.
Wei Binye looked at Li Binyang and clicked his tongue repeatedly, "How can Brother Li be so clear-cut? Could it be that he has someone in his heart?"
Li Binyang walked forward, "People say that the prince of Wei Guogong drinks and eats all day long. I thought it was just a rumor. Now it seems that it is true."
Wei Binye saw Li Binyang's dislike and didn't care. He counted his family treasures with his fingers, "The barbecue is really delicious. Not only the barbecue, but also the roasted eggplant, roasted vegetables, roasted lamb kidneys... You can also eat it with milk tea."
Li Binyang interrupted Wei Binye's chattering posture and said, "Let's go quickly. It's obvious that you took over Shang Ziyin's appointment and you brought me here."
"Hmph, Binyang is affectionate and willing to accompany me for a trip." Wei Binye still looked as casual as if he was riding a horse on a spring outing.
"I said, you should know what you are going to do, right?" Li Binyang questioned sincerely.
"Humph, I know. Of course I know why I live." Wei Binye's confidence was obviously misplaced. _o_m
Li Binyang made a serious face.
The two left the general's mansion together.
Relying on the power of the Duke, the two princes only took half a day to reach their destination.
Although the Five Sacred Mountains are high, they are actually not high compared with the many high mountains in the vast and barren land of Hangu Pass in the Shang State.
Some mountains are so high that they reach the sky, and there may even be snow all year round and miserable winds. ..
Wei and Li came to the foot of the mountains.
The areas controlled by the Shang State can be divided into northern and southern areas.
A new territory was opened in the north, and the old land of Tubo was in the south. It is often called the Northern Territory and the Southern Land.
The three mountains in northern Xinjiang are like bags, and the two valleys are divided into two valleys like letters. Shang Guozhengtang has a strong control over the flat valleys.
But at the border, those endless mountains formed a sea of stones and a river of valleys. In the mountains, rocks, snow ravines, rivers and seas, there are sects and forces of various sizes hidden.
The Shang State's control over them was weaker.
As for the south, the mountains are often the earth and the snow is the sky, and there are even more hidden sects and forces.
In order to completely mobilize the monks from all sides of the Shang Kingdom, the six major princes and the Shang clan went to the northern and southern lands respectively.
Shang Ziyin led his confidants Han Ying and Wu Yu to the south; Li Binyang and Wei Binye went to the northern Xinjiang; Yan Zhixing and Zhao Yueheng stayed behind in Suwen and Sujiang's mansion.
Just after leaving the formation, Wei Binye looked at the wind-swept Gobi and sighed with emotion: "People have suffered for hundreds of years, and ghosts cry for three years." War is really a kind of cruel beauty. Just like this Gobi, there is nothing. Wearing it looks like a naked old gangster, but it has a different kind of beauty."
Li Binyang was somewhat dumbfounded by Wei Binye's special aesthetics and poetic sentiment.
The monk responsible for recruiting the army quickly led a team of five people to the two princes.
"Two great masters. Young Hal Zhuo is the military officer in charge of this city." Hal Zhuo kept saluting Wei and Li.
For forces and monks that they did not trust, the Shang family would also entrust them with important tasks and give them poor treatment. (This chapter is not finished yet!)

Low. But the official position is by no means high. ——This is a method proposed by Shang Wuyi, the ancestor of the Supreme Emperor, to facilitate the removal of monks' power in the future and to prevent monks from taking advantage of their duties to cause trouble.
The Haer family has considerable influence in Taicheng, and Haerzhuo is responsible for the military affairs of the city. It is normal for him to be given only one military officer position.
Wei Binye waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't say any polite words. Normally my ears are softened by sweet talk. This time I'm here just to hear the troublesome things that touch my ears. Don't be cautious."
Haldro smiled flatteringly, neither denying nor agreeing. It just shows surrender in expression.
Li Binyang frowned slightly, "The forces in Taicheng seem to be resisting the Shang Kingdom's order to recruit troops and expand the army."
"How dare you! How dare you!" Halzo's attitude was respectful and his words were urgent, but his eyes were very casual.
Li Binyang chuckled, "The major forces are easy to talk to, but the casual cultivators seem unwilling to do so?"
Haldro nodded silently.
Wei Binye ordered, "Then take us to meet the leader of the casual cultivators."
Hal Zhuo was obviously stunned. After seeing Wei Binye looking a little impatient, he suddenly nodded in agreement and led Wei and Li forward.
Soon, the two of them saw Kuhl, who was dressed in black and white stripes.
Kull didn't show much hostility to Wei Binye, but he couldn't be called friendly. His silent eyes and slightly arched back looked like a cautious snow leopard.
"We don't want to get involved in business affairs." Kuer was very resistant to Shang, and it seemed that he was not just resisting Shang.
"We don't understand why we want to participate in the merchant's scheme." Kuhl expressed his rejection straight to the point.
Li Binyang has a headache. If the people are not afraid of death, then violence is useless. The casual cultivators represented by Kuer have no sense of belonging to the Shang Kingdom. Although Shang State did not agree with them.
But these casual practitioners are needed now.
Wei Binye asked, "Hey. We are a little tired, don't you want to treat us to some mutton?"
Kuer looked at Wei Binye. This slightly chubby young man looked like he was awake, but his eyes were as clear as water from time to time.
Kull nodded and led Harzhuo, Wei, and Li away to his home.
The Kuhl family was surprised by the guest's visit, but they still chose to treat them warmly.
A fragrant barbecue meal, except for Wei Binye who ate it with gusto, the others just watched.
Wei Binye gritted his teeth and sighed nonchalantly, "If you refuse to cooperate, it is very likely to bring blood disaster to your family, many families."
Kur's thin and well-proportioned face flashed with anger, as if the resentment that had been accumulated for a long time finally broke out, "Yes! For you! This is the unification of the world! This is the birth of a dynasty and an empire! But what about us casual cultivators? what relationship!"
"It was like this at the Battle of Hangu Pass, and it's like this today! What's the point of living as a casual cultivator!" Kull pressed and questioned.
The family members gathered around Kuhl uneasily. Although they did not understand and perhaps did not agree with it, they were still willing to support Kuhl.
Wei Binye's clear eyes filled with sadness, "Huh...are you alive? Who knows."
Kull looked at Wei Binye's unmoved look and finally gave in. He lowered his head and sighed, "I hope there will be a quota. The last time the army was drafted..."
Kuhl could face the Hal family directly, but in front of the six major princes and the entire Shang Kingdom, he felt powerless deep in his heart.
"I heard that even old women were conscripted into the army and were responsible for cooking. It won't happen this time. At least that was the case when I was here." Wei Binye stood up and shouted to Li Binyang, "Let's go, there are still many places to go. "
Li Binyang and Wei Binye came outside and asked uneasily, "I always feel something is wrong. You seem to have other ideas."
Wei Binye shrugged, "When that day comes, maybe it will happen."
Li Binyang didn't understand the meaning of Wei Bin's wild words. The only choice is to keep up. .
