Chapter 119: The blue is out of blue
Shi also hoped that this was his last battle. There were too many wars to face in the future. The Mohist school needed to cultivate more generals who could command tens of thousands of people to fight, which required practice.
Fortunately, time is still on the side of the Mohist family.
For example, the military education received by the nobles today is actually lagging behind the times. The main attack on the three armies may not have changed, but the specific cooperation of artillery, cavalry, and infantry is not something that the nobles who have learned chariot war since childhood can control.
The instructions of Bird Shari actually have another meaning.
Qin Huali is already old and will soon step down as the giant.
Now that we are fighting, we need to be on the front line. If we are a little farther away, we will not be able to detect the loopholes on the other side and seize the opportunity of the fighter.
With the emergence of gunpowder cannons and the technology is behind, the iron ball knows where it will fly.
If you come forward and die, it will be a bit unbearable for the losses of the Mo family.
Furthermore, after experiencing the capture of King Yue in the Hanshui War, it directly dismantled the battle of the country's hegemony in Si Shang. In fact, the Mo family all hoped that if Shi could command himself, he would not command himself. This has become a vague trust, and the confidence brought by this trust can easily be shattered by the failure of a war.
Shi was full of confidence in this counterattack against Qi State. The Mohist charity army is no longer the time when he was in the past. If even Qi State could not be defeated, there would be no need to think about the world in the future.
Most of the strategies such as surrounding Wei and saving Zhao, making things happen out of nothing, and ambushing on all sides are strategies, and are completed before the battle begins. These strategies are basically useless at the beginning of the real battle.
Now, roughly speaking, the Mohist family has completed the isolation of possible interference. Wei State was trapped in four battles, and Chu State still needed cooperation, so only Qi State can send troops.
Si Shang is a bait, a plump bait that is enough to make the king and prince unforgettable, and this bait has now been swallowed by Qi State.
It is still too late to spit it out now, but it will be no loss for the Mohist family: Yue State is about to move south, Fei State has already had a coup. If no one interferes at this time, the Mohist family can quickly fill the vacuum of power and rectify the chaos.
Shi was hoping that after concentrating his troops, he would defeat others without fighting and let Qi retreat in the face of difficulties.
Otherwise, Qi would be weakened too much, and the relationship between Wei and Zhao might also have some subtle transformations: Wei and Chu compete for hegemony, and Zhao did not work hard, but if Qi was weak, Wei and Zhao worked together to plan Qi, it might not be impossible. If that was the case, it would not be good. At that time, it would be inevitable that Qi would be helped again, but he was afraid of being attacked by Chu.
Now, with the greed of the kings of various countries, it is unlikely to expect them to retreat when they see the difficulties.
The Mo family did not know that the Wei State's joint efforts to attack Qi's paintings made the Duke of Qi firmly determined.
However, when contacting some envoys of Qi State, he found that Qi State was reluctant to give in and insisted on the matter of the doctors' surrender to Qi and was unwilling to give in.
The advice of Qin Huali was also the inevitability of war caused by this attitude of Qi.
Shi understood the meaning of Qin Huali, and smiled at everyone, comforting and reassuring everyone, and said, "Since you want to fight, you naturally need to summarize your experience. When it comes to winning, there is no battle to win, but you have done enough preparations, and the rest is to see the battle in the last battle."
No matter how much more you have, there is no need to say.
Shi knew that the Mohist family had selected enough young people to fill the power vacuum after the withdrawal of Vietnam in the south, and at the same time, they also selected enough people to prepare to go to Fei.
Not only should we form an alliance that is more profound than the previous non-aggressive alliance, military power must be held in the hands of the Mo family, and grassroots officials must also be held in the hands.
Judging from the current situation, unless the Mohist family comes forward, Fei Guo really cannot find enough qualified grassroots officials.
It doesn’t matter to all kinds of people above Feiguo. After all, Feiguo is still the Mohist family.
Now everything has been arranged, and what we finally see is this war that changed the pattern of the Warring States Period.
If everything was planned by the Mohist school, Qi might decline for a long time after this battle, Wei would also fall from the position of the overlord of the Central Plains, and the contradiction between military power and the feudal aristocrats within Chu would be extremely sharp.
…………
Teng.
The five divisions of the Mohist family, more than 3,600 cavalry, and more than 70 bronze cannons have been assembled here.
After arriving, I first inspected the army and had a high morale. This time, I was also very motivated. I hope that Qi would retreat in the face of difficulties.
There were nearly 45,000 troops gathered here, all of which were combat troops, and the logistics and supplies belonged to the other departments. The food and grass gathered in Teng over the years were also sufficient for the army's consumption.
Tengdi is the northern gate of Xuzhou. Before the Yellow River was diverted and Weishan Lake was formed, it was a strategic location, which could be attacked and defended.
After the fall of Yue Kingdom, although Teng Hou was there, he had no power. It was completely under the control of the Mo family.
The wind in early spring was slightly cold, but the streets were very lively. A large number of soldiers gathered to follow some merchants. They also knew that the Mohist charity army and the people had never been violated, and the soldiers had money to take it, so they came one after another to seek benefits.
A picket team with armbands patrols the streets to prevent things like disturbing the people.
Inside the tent, the commanders of each division, and the representatives of the Mozhe were listening to the rewards of the scouts.
Young people holding pigment marks are constantly marked with some wooden blocks representing their respective military units and placed them in the correct position.
The sand table has already happened at this time.
The Mohist school attached even more importance to this deduction because Mozi and Gongshu Ban used belts as cities and wood and jade as soldiers in the debate between the debate on saving Song and attacking Song.
Shi looked at the map and asked, "What's the situation in Fei Country?"
A commissar replied hurriedly: "The people of the country of Fei have fought and won, and the nobles dared not fight and fled to Wucheng. Now the people of Fei are only dozens of miles away from Wucheng, but after following our opinions, they stopped and were just preparing food and fodder."
"The Liangfu of Qi State's father was the one who led the soldiers to Wucheng. In the Wei State, the Chengyang State also led 10,000 soldiers, waiting for the Koreans. The Linzi State of Qi State has recruited a large army, with a number of about 50,000 to 80,000. It is not clear what the details are."
"Doctor Pingyin also led the army to gather. It seems that he was going to move along the Ji River towards Onozawa, and he should want to meet with the Han and Wei coalition forces."
Shi took a wooden stick and clicked on the Heshui Road on the map below: "In the past, King Fuchai of Wu killed Shen Xu, but failed to survive in the year, so he started a northern expedition. The Que was a deep ditch, connecting between Shang and Lu, and belonging to Yi in the north and Ji in the west, and meeting Duke Wu in the Huangchi."
"This canal in which the Wu Kingdom fought for the Central Plains, connecting Heze and Si Shui. It seems that the Pingyin Doctor of Qi was preparing to use Heshui to transport with the Han and Wei coalition forces to ensure logistics."
"I calculated that the military system has been changed. If you go along the way, you can concentrate at most 70,000 people. This is the limit, and it must be within the territory of Qi."
"Now the army of Linzi in Qi State is heading south. It seems that they are going to follow Liang's father and the most direction to Wucheng."
"In the direction of Wucheng, the people of Qi feel that they should be able to hold on for a while. Although our reputation for siege and defending the city has been spread all over the world, we have published some techniques for defending the city in the world over the years. Many Qi people read more books like this, and maybe some people think they can defend it."
At the end, he laughed, and the six fingers on the side shook their heads and said, "You said, "You are better than blue than blue, and ice water is colder than water. This may be someone who wants to use this to gain fame. Think about it, if you can defend Wucheng for half a year under our attack, wouldn't this be famous all over the world?"
"When Shengchuo guarded Linqiu, wasn't it just a battle to become famous? Nowadays, there are many people who are good at fame and wealthy, and there are many such people."
Shi nodded. Judging from the current situation, he could only make such a judgment.
Now Qi and the Mohist country have been considered to have been open to the state of war. Qi said that it was the internal affairs of Qi and the Mohist country should not interfere. However, the Mohist country supported the new king of Fei and believed that it was in line with the interests of the people.
The "sages" of Fei Country cannot stop at this point for great justice or selfish interests.
For the sake of justice, it is naturally necessary to save the people of Wucheng and make them profit.
For personal gain, why should one be a wise man from Feiguo to be a wise man from the small capital of Feiguo?
Now the Mohist family has become hard. From the fact that they did not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries when defending the city and not attacking, to the fact that they do not interfere in the internal affairs of various countries, they have rarely mentioned it. Instead, they evaluate the right and wrong of various countries from the perspective of heaven and righteousness.
Not saying that you don’t interfere in internal affairs, but just saying that you support the new king of Feiguo is equivalent to telling the people who told Feiguo and Guodu: You can do it, and I will cover you if something happens.
In this case, the Qi State and the Mo family did not give in, which was equivalent to acquiesceing that the other party would definitely send troops.
Since it has been confirmed, Qi State still asked the Liangfu Doctor to send troops to support Wucheng. It seems that it is concluding that Wucheng can be maintained for half a year, or at least for more than three months.
The logistics factors of the army cannot act at the same time, so Qi State must be divided into three lines this time.
The front line of Jucheng should be a support, threatening the Mo family's East China Sea direction, forcing the Mo family to divide their troops to guard.
The Han and Wei coalition forces, together with the Pingyin Doctor, could directly arrive at Sishui by using the transportation of Heshui.
If Wucheng can hold on for three months, then the main force of the Qi army in Linzi can gather near Wucheng.
If Wucheng is anxious, the Pingyin Doctor and the Wei and Han Allied Forces can advance along the Sishui River, threatening the Mo family's hinterland and forcing the Mo family to withdraw their troops to defend, and then the situation of encirclement will be formed.
These are all guesses and inferences, not known information, and Shi thinks this inference should be correct.
Just as Liu Finger said, there are many people who think that the best is better than the best.
