Chapter 235 desperate fight
Wei Yang was at a disadvantage.
It’s not that his ability is not as good as Tian Ju, but that the situation is forced.
Diplomacy requires the support of national strength. The national strength is strong enough, the situation is better than people, and there are more trump cards than people. People at second-rate level can also make first-class people breathless.
Qin State is not qualified to negotiate with Qi State now, nor is it able to tilt Qi State's chips.
The blame is that the Qin monarchs and ministers were too vigilant about the rise of the Mo family and reacted too quickly, but instead fell into a passive position.
Nowadays, tens of thousands of Qin troops were stationed in Shangdi, threatening Danyang, Danshui and Hanshui. After conquering Danyang, the road to the Nanyang Basin was opened.
It is right to plan early.
But I planned to do it too early and everything was missing, which led to the negotiations with my allies being at a disadvantage.
What is really difficult to deal with is allies rather than enemies.
It is too early to reveal its bottom in front of allies and it is very passive.
The Qin army is not evacuated now, nor is it striking.
Withdrawal of troops, and forced South Korea to force the Mohist family to fight South Korea if it does not support Qin. This bargaining chip cannot be used.
Because South Korea is not afraid, Qin has already missed the bottom of the situation and stationed troops in Shangdi. Even if you withdraw your troops, the Mo family will definitely worry that you are pretending to retreat and may enter Nanyang when the army stationed in Chu walked north of Funiu Mountain, so they dared not move lightly.
Allies who might have drunk together in that night may suddenly betray and end the tribe, especially during the national war.
Qin State could not change South Korea's idea, let alone Qi State's idea.
The current national strength of Qin is still a long way from sweeping across the Eight Desolations and Six He. The defeat of the Wei State in Xihe was the one who had been in a wrong way for twenty years and was killed by Mo, Chu, and Zhao Fang. Without enough record, Wei Yang's weight was much lighter.
At this time, Wei Yang did not know that he would be enfeoffed in Shangdi in another time and space, nor did he know that he would eventually rise up and die in the fiefdom, nor did he know that the six hundred miles of Shangdi would be a famous diplomatic scam a long time later.
But he knew Tian Ju was talking nonsense.
Even if the Qi and South Korean coalition forces win, at most they will recover Jiaodong and have no spare energy to conquer Si Shang. It is even more impossible for Si Shang to threaten to send troops thousands of miles to attack Nanyang.
These nonsense completely angered Wei Yang. He stood up and shouted angrily: "The prince is not worthy of planning! In this way, the world will eventually be obtained by the Mo family and the princes and the ancestral temples will be destroyed!"
Tian Ju also stood up and said, "Zhu Zi still knew that there would be a family first, then a country, and then a world. If the family cannot be guarded and the country cannot defend, how can the world be discussed?"
"If Qin supports it, Qi will fight; if Qin does not support it, Qi will fight. The Qin people will fight it themselves!"
Wei Yang snorted coldly and said goodbye and left. Tian Ju sighed after Wei Yang left.
He also knew that the battle was dangerous, but he had no choice.
The idea of some ministers making peace with the Mo family and cutting off the Wei Wei to make up for the loss was extremely stupid.
Wei Wei and Qi were all old princes, and they were all playing within the framework of the old rules, but the Mo family wanted to break the old rules and had no way to get along with them normally.
Moreover, most of the officers in Qi Changbai Army were sealed in Jiaodong. If they did not attack the Mo family but instead attacked Wei, they would be afraid that there would be great opinions in the army.
Besides, the Mohist family's ability to snowball the country, and to govern the country and conquer wealth and expand the army, occupying one city will result in more than a thousand soldiers. If it is cut off a little bit, once the Mohist family wants to fight, it will threaten Qi at any time.
Only by attacking Song and fighting to the death can it be possible to reverse the offensive and defensive momentum.
Anyway, the role of Qin State is to restrain the Mo family's army stationed in Chu in Nanyang. Whether they take the initiative to attack is no longer of great significance.
Different from offense and defense, the main attack and restraint are also different. Qin's previous performance and military strength were enough to restrain it, and the safety of South Korea's western front can be guaranteed.
…………
After receiving the news, Mr. Wei, the young master of Wei, heard that the Mo family had invaded Jiaodong and Qi was preparing to join forces with Wei, Wei and Han to attack Song first to save Linzi, and was inexplicably excited.
The Mo family invisibly helped him a lot. At least the attitude of Qi was no longer so tough. Under the covetous eyes of the Mo family, Qi would not be able to force Wei too much as long as he chose to go to war with the Mo family.
South Korea has agreed to send troops to Qi.
This immediately relieved the pressure that Wei State had been under before.
Han had previously advocated ceding the interests of Wei to allow Qin and Qi to send troops because the capital of Han was already under the threat of the Mo family.
At that time, the attitudes of various countries were still unclear, because the Mohist family seemed to be just attacking Chu and there was still the possibility of peace.
Because there is a possibility of making peace with the Mohist family, the attitudes of various countries are unclear. They use making peace with the Mohist family to withdraw from the alliance as a threat to serve as capital for bargaining.
That's why Han Han was impatient: You all withdrew from the alliance, what should I do? Yangdi is just a hundred miles away from the Mo family's control line. If Han is not destroyed, the capital of Wei is very safe; if Han is not destroyed, the Mo family dare not easily attack Qin.
Although countries may not be able to make peace with the Mo family, South Korea dare not bet that countries will not make peace. Therefore, they can only agree to the conditions of each country and help cut off the flesh of Wei, the former elder brother, to beg various countries to send troops.
Now it's OK.
The Mohist family completely cut off the possibility of separate peace between various countries, and the princes saw the incidents in Jiaodong, Qi.
In the past, when the Mohist family occupied the conquest, there was always a reason to be able to pass, but now this reason is only a simple and crude one: benefiting the world. The world is to benefit the world, and the battle is to fight non-aggression.
All follow the old rules and are innocent.
But according to the new rules set by the Mohist school, he is guilty.
Under the new rules, whether you are guilty or not, the Mohist school is the referee.
Countries may not have had fantasies about the Mohist school before, but they can use the Mohist school to fight for their own interests and use peace to threaten South Korea to gain support.
Now, South Korea does not need to beg in ruthlessness, because the Mohist family did not attack South Korea first, but attacked Qi first.
In this way, the attitude of Qin is no longer important: Qin cannot advance or retreat, and the Mo family will not believe Qin, so the Mo family's army stationed in Chu was restrained by Qin.
Since the main attack direction is on Si, the role and value of Wei State are reflected.
Food, grass, civil servants, and logistics must be supported by Wei.
The young master wiped away the tears of his previous sigh of lamenting that the weak country had no diplomacy, and immediately began to wander among the princes and powerful ministers.
He wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Gongziyan, allocate some of the interests, gather the hearts of the martial arts soldiers, and prepare for the post-war reform.
Opportunities are always left to those who are prepared.
If you lose this battle, everyone will be finished.
But if we win, the Wei Kingdom will still have a strong rise.
So he wants to seize this opportunity.
On the one hand, he secretly sent someone to pass on the title of Pang Juan to prepare for a military coup; on the other hand, he mediated with Han, Qi and other countries, and with the threat of the Mohist family, he reached an agreement between Han, Qi and Wei.
…………
Qi, Han and Wei Wei rushed to send troops without waiting for the cooperation of Zhao, Yan and Qin, which was actually quite dangerous.
However, as the proactive initiator of the war, Shi couldn't have known from the beginning that the Qi Congress had used the method of "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao".
He just wanted to buy time and at least one year to completely digest Jianghan Nanyang Huaixi.
So without knowing Qi's plans, Shi naturally did as planned according to his own plan in order to mobilize Qi's army.
The current situation of the Mohist family is dangerous on the Western Front, that is, on the Liujie side. As long as they can get time to spend this year safely and not allow the princes to launch an attack within one year, the danger of the Western Front will be lifted, and the Mohist family can form a situation where the east and west sides can be connected to each other against the northern princes.
What he wanted to mobilize was the Qi army, so that there would be a gap between Qi, Han and Wei, and it was difficult to twist together.
But you must be wary of Han Wei and Zhao's attack on Si Shang.
So in order to achieve this mobilization, the entire Mohist school in Si Shang began their performances and deceptions.
In mid-August, the overall situation in Jiaodong has been decided.
Jimo City, which invited gods and married wives and concubines, only guarded for two days, and was captured before the third day was over.
A total of two thousand old muskets and three small cannons were collected, and the rest were not even matched with copper spears.
If the Mohist school was still in the era of cold weapons, Tian Zhongshou might be able to defend it, but after all, the times have changed.
Those little tricks cannot stop the Mo family's offensive.
After the city was broken, Tian Zhongshou committed suicide after slaughtering his wives, concubines and children.
There was a concubine who didn't want to die to survive, but Tian Zhongshou believed that everyone should die after the city was destroyed, which was disloyal to you. Especially according to the Mo family's style of conduct, his concubine would have to remarry others in the future. So he was excited and found a concubine who was trying to escape and stabbed her to death.
After this battle, the Mohist family had completely occupied Zhucheng, Gaomi and Jimo.
Subsequently, the main force of the Mo family near Shangqiu began to march eastward and made great efforts. In fact, after arriving near Peiyi, it was hidden and repaired in the village that the Mo family had been completely controlled for 30 years. A large number of soldiers from the Second Line Reserve pretended to be heading towards Laiwu.
Shi also personally led people to Laiwu, creating the illusion of slow movement in front of the army.
Some horses pulled fake cannons made of wood behind them and slowly moved towards Laiwu every day.
All this is to lure Qi to return to the army while preventing the main force from being exhausted for a long time, and to beware of South Korea's possible invasion of Si to save Qi.
In the battle between Qi and Mo, the Mo family fought a war in Laiwu, and now they have to pretend to capture Laiwu to threaten Linzi from the east and south.
Xuanyi Department also worked hard and made a lot of publicity in official newspapers.
Articles such as "The Line of Shangqiu is Solid" and "Breaking the Dog Heads of Anyone Who Can Be Profit the World" are written and published all day long.
He had the intention of defending the Song Dynasty and the main force was about to break through Linzi.
In addition, many places in the Song Dynasty also began to mobilize people to build cities, prepare for war, hold conferences, and mobilize.
For example, several cities near South Korea, Shangqiu in the Song Dynasty and other places were busy building city walls, which was a sign of intimidation from South Korea to attack Si.
Not long after, Shi appeared in public near Qufu and gave a lecture on Lu's great cause to benefit the world. The Hou of Lu didn't even dare to let go of his fare, and the people cheered.
All of this was trying to tell the princes that the Mo family would attack Linzi this time, and they were prepared for defense in Shangqiu and other places. If Han and Wei dared to invade Song, they would definitely have no return.
I really captured Linzi, but I had no interest at this time.
