However, this approach, in the eyes of the princes and ministers who had already decided to surround Shangqiu and rescue Linzi, found a feeling called "sexuality on the inside".

After the plan is set, they urgently need something like a "miracle" or "deduction" to prove that their choice is not wrong.

So Tian Ju and others took a newspaper published half a month ago and pointed to the article titled "As the Soul" above. After reading it, they said happily: "This must be a perfect statement. The main force of the Mohist family attacked and won the victory in the universe, with the intention of joining the east and south, and the Si side would inevitably be empty."

"At this time our army entered the Song Dynasty, Si Shang would not be able to defend itself and could only withdraw the army."

"Otherwise, although Linzi is destroyed, Si Shang will be taken away, and the Mo family's enemy will not be the only one Qi State."

"In this battle, the coalition forces will win."

After he said this, the rest of the people also felt a sense of confidence.

After all, Si Shang Yishi was standing on his head that he was invincible for thirty years of attacks. He was still a little guilty when fighting against various countries in the field.

The countries in the Si Shang Song Dynasty have not entered a soldier for twenty years. What is needed at this time is a little confidence or omen.

In their opinion, the main force of the Mo family is indeed powerful in siege, but it has great disadvantages, such as the marching speed is slightly slow, and you need to wait for copper cannons or stone throwing machines.

I recalled that since the battle more than ten years ago, the Mo family seemed to have no chance of siegeing the city without bronze cannons.

So now the army is still a little far from Laiwu, and Linzi has also begun to recruit nearby peasants to defend. As long as the storm of the princes' efforts to attack Song, the Mo family can be forced to return to help.

Tian Ju has his own opinion on whether the Mohist school will conquer Linzi.

He believed that the reason why the Mohist family attacked Jiaodong first and then Linzi was for the autumn grain in Jiaodong.

Before the army moves, food and grass will come first. The higher the professionalization of the army, the greater the logistics required.

The Mohist family attacked Chu with the Yangtze River as a supply line. Even so, most of them were infantry and the number of cavalry was very small.

When attacking Linzi, especially from Laiwu and Jiaodong, the best way to replenish the supply of the Mohist family is to recruit Jiaodong's grain and grass manpower.

There are mountainous areas south of Laiwu, with Yimeng Mountain blocking it, and it is difficult for the Mohist family to transport food and grass.

If Jiaodong is captured, Jiaodong's manpower and material resources can be used as the logistics for besieging Linzi, or the grain can be transported to the sea along the Weishui River to transport it to the vicinity of Linzi via sea and mountains.

The coastal areas at this time are different from those in later generations. The range of impact and siltation of the Yellow River is not very large. In fact, Linzi is not far from the sea, and there is also Zibo River directly connecting to the Bohai Sea.

Once the Mo family occupied Jiaodong, the capital of Qi would have to bear great threat in the future. This is also one of the reasons why Tian Ju firmly opposed making peace with the Mo family and seceding Wei to make up for the whole country.

Invading Song and forcing the Mohist army to retreat was the only way to break the situation.

This is different from the later generations of "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao".

The purpose of surrounding Wei and saving Zhao was Qi as a third party to surround Wei and rescue Zhao. Sun Bin's purpose was to annihilate the field troops of Wei as a third party, thereby weakening Wei.

At this time, Qi surrounded Song and rescued Linzi. The purpose was not to fight with the Mo family to annihilate the Mo family's field corps, because Qi was not a third party, and he really had no confidence in defeating the Mo family's field corps.

Different goals and different focus: Qi besieged Wei to save Zhao, whether Handan can rescue the siege is secondary consideration, taking the opportunity to weaken Wei State to defeat the Wei State field corps was the main purpose; Qi attacked Song to save Linzi, and whether the field corps on Si Shang could be annihilated. It was the main purpose. Forced the Mo family to return to help to resolve the dilemma of Linzi, and pulling South Korea into the water to make South Korea's energy focus on the eastern front rather than the western front is the secondary purpose.

So after the four countries of Qi, Han, Wei and Wei agreed, the princes immediately issued a declaration, claiming that a total of 300,000 coalition troops were recruited to attack Song, and clearly told the Mo family that they wanted to attack Song and rescue Linzi, so that they could withdraw their troops as soon as possible.

The news was not blocked and hidden. The main force in saving Linzi was not the third country, but the Qi itself.

The news reached the Si Shang army, and Shi was near Beigumi. Looking at the information, Shi Shi looked at the number "300,000" of the troops for a long time.

The offensive operations on the outside line were interrupted, and it was impossible to gather a "300,000" army in a short period of time.

Not to mention short time, even if you give the princes three years of preparation, it is a question whether the field mobile troops can raise 150,000 yuan.

Qi and Han wanted to attack Song to force the Mo family's "main force" to return to the aid. The idea was good, but if they were not strong enough, in the right way, this was a death sentence.

Although he was wary of the princes attacking Si Shang without any consequences, he was still quite surprised that the princes really did this.

It is not a question of whether it can be conquered, but in a short period of time, the princes should adjust their strategies, prepare food and grass, etc., and send only 100,000 troops in a hasty manner, and they have to be allocated on a very long front and march from several directions.

There must be defense and stubbornness, guarding the rear, flanking support, and division of troops and advancing together.

If you are not prepared enough, you will send troops to attack, and it will be easily encircled and annihilated.

His original intention was to delay time, but he did not want the princes to come and die directly. He never thought that the princes would give him such a great gift.

Because it was to attack Song to save Linzi, it must be fast, because this fake "army" of the Mo family will soon arrive at Laiwu.

Once Laiwu was captured, the princes would just send troops verbally, and Linzi would also be captured.

In such a short time, it is estimated that the preparations of various countries will inevitably be insufficient.

After receiving the news that day, Shinn returned to Peifeng at night, studied it with the people of the Military Commission, and finally decided to fight an annihilation battle in Song and completely defeat the field mobile forces of the princes.

The princes had few options for advancement, and the means of response were used by the General Staff Department, when the Song State coup and Wei and Han divided Zheng.

If the coalition of princes is dispatched, they must fight first.

Xuchang is like a sharp knife, stuck in South Korea's heart and can directly threaten South Korea's hinterland.

Moreover, if the princes attacked the Song territory and Xuchang did not conquer them first, the logistics would be easily cut off.

Once Xuchang is captured, the princes should send troops to defend the Yinyang direction, and then go east from Xuchang to attack Yangxia.

Only by conquering Yangxia can the passage between Chenyi and Shangqiu be blocked.

Yongqiu and Yangxia in South Korea are almost on the same meridian line, and are extremely straight north and south. Only by conquering Yangxia can the gate leading to Shangqiu be considered to be opened.

It is not decades ago when peasants and soldiers from various countries marched in a vast war with food for months, and the logistical pressures of various countries were much greater than before.

It’s really a joke that tens of thousands of peasant soldiers wearing leather armor and carrying spears piled up under Shangqiu City and called for a siege.

Therefore, Yang Xia could not be conquered, and the various countries attacked Song and rescued Qi with the plan to rescue them directly.

However, Yangxia is not difficult to attack, and Shi's purpose is not to really capture Linzi. Shi was even worried that the princes' army could not capture Yangxia and then retreated, and then missed such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to annihilate the opponent's vitality.

The opinions of the people in the congregation were similar to those of Shi, and they all said: "You must always think about the enemy Yu Kuan. If the enemy does not care about logistics at all, concentrate all the troops together, and whether or not Yang Xia is captured, they will rush to Shangqiu in one go... that would be simple."

"But I'm afraid they have brains but no strength."

"Don't talk about Yang Xia, even Xu, if we really want to defend, I'm afraid they won't be able to conquer it within half a year. Then we will be embarrassed... Should we attack Linzi or not?"

From beginning to end, the Mohist school was full of confidence in the offensive and defensive momentum of Si Shang and Henan.

From the beginning, they were worried that there would be problems with the six fingers on the western front. They were not afraid that the six fingers would not win, but that they were worried that they would really retreat to Xiangfan and defend to the death, so that the personnel in the Nanyang area would not be able to use it for themselves.

In the eyes of the Mo family's senior officials, it was a joke that the princes attacked Si Shang. The Mo family could not raise enough troops and logistics to fight one against three, but the Mo family was really not afraid of fighting inside.

Not to mention that after 30 years of operation, we have truly achieved effective rule in every village. Si Shang, which has complete grassroots organizations, is also a place where Song Dina can be completely controlled.

The army of princes came to attack, and guns were worse than himself, artillery was worse than himself, and people's hearts were even worse than himself. The Mo family members could not imagine the possibility of failure. They even once suspected that a standard garrison of Lean-angle Fort would have to attack for a year, because so far, no one had ever really attacked the city under the new urban defense system of the Mo family, and they had never known how powerful the Mo family, who had always fought in the field these years, are now defending the city.

Now everyone is really afraid that the front is too powerful, so that the coalition forces of the princes can't even capture Xu and dare not continue to attack, so it will be difficult to deal with.

"Actually, the princes still have confidence. They thought we really wanted to attack Linzi, so the main force was outside. In the early stage, they would definitely attack very fiercely."

"It's a good thing to attack fiercely, and it's a good thing to have confidence. I'm really afraid that we can beat them too hard and we'll wipe out all their confidence. We'll be scared to retreat and be a turtle to hold on to the death, which will be troublesome."

The confidence of the coalition of princes to attack Song territories was due to their belief that the main force of the Mo family was in the east and was preparing to attack Linzi.

Whether it is forcing the Mo family to return to help or willing to fight in a field to win, at least you have to conquer Xu Di before you can continue to think about it.

If Xu didn't conquer, the princes would probably lose their confidence immediately.

It doesn't matter if it is gone. The original idea is to attack Jiaodong and force Linzi to gain time and disrupt the deployment of the princes.

If the coalition of princes retreated, time would be obtained, but if you think of such princes, you would probably have fewer chances to attack the Mo family's inside line.

If you can win one day, you will win one day earlier. In the end, the Mohist family's righteousness is to benefit the world. It would be best to let the people suffer less of the pain of fighting for one day.

After a while of discussion, everyone said: "Since the princes have released the news, they will soon launch an attack. Even if they pretend to attack us and force us to retreat, they must have some results. It is useless to rely on their mouths."

"The garrison in Xu is ready to retreat. Once the princes attack, they will immediately retreat to the Zhaoling line and deploy defenses in Yinshui."
