In the empty city, the empty plan is empty, and doubt arises in doubt; in the moment of hardness and softness, strangeness will come again.

It can be used directly or inversely.

The current balance of power between the enemy and us is completely different from the situation when we were about to give up Shangqiu and lure the enemy into Shanfu.

In addition, the princes were preparing for a hasty time this time, not because they were prepared enough, Zhao, Wei, Wei, Han and Qi worked together, so there was no need to give up so much.

At this time, if the princes attack Si Shang, they must first attack Xu.

Only after attacking Xu can we attack in a group and attack together, and we will cover the wings under Shangqiu City.

If you want to fight an annihilation battle, you must annihilate the enemy along the way. Then you need to mobilize the enemy in an extremely narrow space to make a flaw and create a time difference to defeat the enemy's main force along the way.

The Mo family now has a great advantage. Without mentioning the military force, the princes did not know that the main force of the Mo family was gathered in Pei, Feng and other places to hide.

They thought that Shi led the main forces to march towards Laiwu, and it would take some time even if he had to return.

And the Mohist school can take advantage of this.

Judging from all aspects, the main force of the vassal coalition is very likely to go out from Yongqiu, South Korea.

Yongqiu, the capital of Qi Kingdom, which was originally worried about the world, and Qi County, later generations, is not far from Daliang.

There is a canal at this time in Daliang, which is the best place for the logistics transfer of the princes.

Along the canal, you can connect to Sui and Sand water.

Eighty miles south of Yongqiu is Yangxia.

Yangxia is a hundred miles west of it, which is Xu.

Xu Xiangxi is an important level such as Ye, Fangcheng, Xianghe occupied by the Mohist family in South Korea.

It is very likely that the coalition of princes would first capture Xu, divide the troops to guard the troops, and then send field mobile troops to the west to capture Yangxia.

Only then will the real main force be able to leave Yongqiu, attack Ningling, and coerce Chuqiu and Anyang to threaten the Heshui Taoyi Forest Area, which the Mohist family had been operating for many years.

The mission of the coalition forces of the princes who captured Yangxia was to cover the flanks of the main force, block the Mohist army in Chen and Xiang, and prevent flanks from being encircled.

This tactic of split-up and joint attack requires very high cooperation. Any side may have problems if they take a few steps quickly or slower.

War is a science, and theoretically there is an optimal solution, but it is difficult to implement it.

If the princes want to achieve the best situation, they must achieve the ultimate cooperation.

The Guards, the army of Chengyang in Wei Linqiu, and some troops north of Juye of Qi State were to attack Heshui when the Han army captured Xucheng and restrain the direction of Heshui.

Once the Korean army conquered Xu, the main force of the coalition of princes could send troops from Yongqiu.

When the main force of the coalition forces sent troops from Yongqiu, the main force of the Korean army in Xudi also wanted to advance to the morning and Xia.

When the main force of the South Korean army besieged Yangxia, the main force of the coalition forces had to march to Ningling.

It can't be fast, it can't be slow.

If Xu Di had not yet captured, the main force of Yongqiu's coalition forces began to leave Yongqiu and attack Ningling, then its right wing would be completely exposed.

The Mohist family's best ability in field battles in recent years is to quickly encircle the throne, and the coalition of princes must be prepared.

If Xu Di captured and the Korean army had already captured Yangxia and continued to march towards Xiangcheng, but the main force of the coalition forces remained in Yongqiu, then the Korean army would face the danger of being surrounded.

The most perfect cooperation between the two main forces is to always maintain a safe distance of about a hundred miles. If either side is attacked, the other can quickly support it.

The so-called empty city strategy does not mean that the empty city is used to scare away the other party.

Instead, he used the Mohist style of field battles for more than 20 years before, to intimidate the princes along the way, and to induce the other princes to advance rashly.

The reason is simple.

The purpose of Qi State this time was to force the Mo family to withdraw their troops and thus eliminate the threat from Linzi, so it was impossible to be too slow.

The main force of the Mo family has always been hidden in the Pei and Feng lines, which made the princes believe that the Mo family had insufficient troops in Si Shang at this time.

Therefore, the purpose of this empty city plan is not to the enemy under the empty city, but to another enemy army eighty miles outside the empty city.

If the empty city retreats, the enemy troops in the front line of Xu, Yangxia and Yang, must be worried that this is the Mohist plan to lure the enemy into depth. Although they will not fail to see the empty city, they will definitely send scouts to advance carefully and slow down the speed of the march.

Xu, Yang Xia, the enemy on the front line must be just a flank and cannot be the main force.

Because the princes knew that they could not conquer Pengcheng, the best result was to capture Shangqiu or siege Shangqiu to force the main force of the Mo family to retreat.

If the enemy on the Yangxia line does not attack Shangqiu, the main force will go straight to Pengcheng, and will pass through Fulisai and Dangshan City, which the Mo family has been operating for a long time. Once it cannot be captured, it will be trapped in the siege and cannot advance or retreat.

Therefore, the task of the enemy on the Yangxia line is to ensure the right wing of the main force of the coalition forces and prevent the attack on Shangqiu and the troops in the Huaixi area of ​​the Mo family would go north and cut off the rear route, and once the main force retreated, they would be surrounded and annihilated.

If a small number of troops can be sent to the main force of the central coalition, but not too many, and do not oversight; at the same time, an empty city is used to lure the enemy on the right side of the coalition, and deliberately send scouts to harass and expose their intentions...

This is very likely to induce the coalition forces to make a wrong judgment: the number of field troops in the Si Shang was not enough to eat the main force of the coalition forces, so they did not dare to act as the main force of the coalition forces, so they chose a small number of troops to die; while the Mohist field troops left behind in Si Shang were intended to induce the coalition forces on the right to advance, lure them with empty cities, wanting to fight an annihilation battle, breaking its right wing and forcing the coalition forces to retreat.

Once the troops can be mobilized to lure the coalition commander into thinking in this direction, then opportunities may arise.

The coalition forces dare not delay, and if they drag on, they will have no results. It is very likely that the Mohist family will conquer Linzi first and then return to the rescue.

Then, after making a wrong judgment, the commander of the coalition forces is likely to advance with the main force and use the threat of offensive to break the Mohist family's attempt to annihilate his right.

Or it is believed that the main forces of the Mohist Si troops were looking for opportunities to set up ambush on the right, so the main forces of the coalition could march straight into Shangqiu.

At that time, a small number of Mohist troops defended the middle road will make the coalition commander more convinced that the Mohist intention was to flank the right.

Because at that time, only the coalition forces need to attack fiercely, and the defenders who pretend to be bluffing cannot defend and retreat, it will make the coalition forces believe that the middle road is real and the right road is real.

This empty city strategy is used in reverse rather than in a formal way. It is not to scare the enemy from daring to advance, but to encourage the enemy to take the initiative to attack, use the righteous to defeat the strange and restore the false.

With such an empty city plan on the right, the coalition of princes could only think in two directions.

Either it is believed that the Mohist family was shrinking their troops to defend the central army, giving up the right wing, gathering forces to shrink the front line to confront each other; or it is based on offense and trying to lure the right side to advance with an empty city, thus cutting off one of its fingers to force the coalition forces to retreat without the need for the main force to return to aid.

To make the enemy fool, you must try every means to lure the commander of the coalition army to think about the second possibility. If you use an empty city to deceive the opponent, you will be seen through and think it is real, but the reality will be empty.

The best result is that the enemy believed in the second possibility and made a judgment based on this. The central army attacked Shangqiu, causing the middle and right roads to be about a hundred miles away.

Once this distance is widened, the real main force of the Mo family will have the opportunity to completely wipe out the main force of the coalition's central army with a great advantage of force, and then use light cavalry and first climb the camp to attack and cut off the rear of the coalition's right-wing army, and launch an annihilation battle that completely destroys Qi and the last field legion of South Korea.

If it can be achieved, then this should be the last battle in the Central Plains. The east can break the Linzi and the Yellow River, and the west can be the army facing Luoyi to meet the importance of the magnitude.

If the achievement fails and the intention is exposed in advance and the enemy is not deceived, then at most it will be exposed that the main force of the Mo family is not in the direction of Laiwu, and the Qi and South Korean coalition forces will withdraw, so it will return to the previous plan: let Qi return to Jiaodong, spend time delaying to Jianghan, and Huaixi will be completely stable.

This is not the time to worry about the interference of the coalition forces of the princes during the Song State coup. Now all the advantages are there, and there is no need to be too nervous to be so nervous that I have no way out of retreat.

The more this happens, the clearer your mind will be, and it is easier for you to let go if you are not nervous.

…………

In general, the people of Song Dynasty still supported the war against the princes.

The farmers in the western part of the Song Dynasty were living a pretty good life due to the policies of the farmers.

Although there are some bad complaints in the eastern part of the Song Dynasty, no matter how bad the Mohist family is doing, the nobles must be strong, at least they are still supportive for the time being.

The eastern part of the Song State is not a traditional direct-level area of ​​the Mohist school, but more like a colony, so the people there are actually very complaints, and conservative and reactionary thoughts also have room for circulating there.

Many people complained: "The first class is the workshop owner and the big businessman; the second class is the village farmer and the self-cultivating farmer craftsman; the third class is the bankrupt farmer who lost his land and was not accepted by the Mo family's joint farmer, so he had to work in the city workshop."

This is not the fault of some people complaining, it is indeed that way.

The life of self-cultivated farmers is much better than those of the farmers who supported private ownership but are now bankrupt due to land annexation.

Without going bankrupt, the self-cultivated farmer has more than 100 acres of land, one or two cows and one or two horses, and has a leisurely and abundant life.

But those farmers who supported private ownership but went bankrupt for various reasons were very different.

They lost their land. In order to support the cheap labor needed for industry and commerce, the Mohist school did not actively accept them to join the communist society or allocate land again, forcing them to exile in cities and become workers in workshops.

But the Mohist school did not accept it at all, but used a price regulation method to force the employees here to be in a situation where they were more than before and less than others.

If it is too difficult, these people can leave the city and go to Si Shang to join the co-growing society with some harsh conditions to obtain land.

This prevents some local workshops and land workers from being too miserable. In fact, this miserable resulted from the technological leap brought about by technological progress and the popularization of high-yield crops, rather than the system in the eastern part of the Song Dynasty, which is beneficial to them.

However, it is difficult for the people to distinguish, and they will not live too badly. Whether they support or oppose it will have no impact on the overall situation.

The main forces of the Si Shang Jiexuan Army were those villages where land was prohibited from being sold, public workshops and mines, some enthusiastic small producers and citizens, and some villages controlled by farmers.

As for these people who work as employed workers on the workshop land, they are not the ruling class. A new group of new classes in Sihang will certainly not consider the issue from their perspective when formulating laws.

In some places, reactionary thoughts are still very marketable.

After all, if there is no war, the era of feudal and serfs can still achieve the fantasy of pastoral music. In the end, the land will not be sold, and the neighbors will not invest in land. It will sound better than the current land merger and the city will become a hiring worker.

However, at this time, those who accept these reactionary thoughts due to the limitations of the times are neither the main force of soldiers nor the main force of paying taxes, nor the number of people. Now, it is still an optional class force that cannot affect the situation in the world.

They are gravediggers in the new era, but these gravediggers are still in a state of ignorance at this time. The way of resistance they can think of is to go to the Communist Party to fight for a few years and suffer more than a hundred acres of land and a cow; either they believe that the aristocrats are half elegies and half curses, and they think that they should return to the village community and the land that cannot be bought or sold. During festivals and festivals, they can still be given a few glasses of bitter wine by the nobles, at least they have a land of land.

They were neither the majority nor had their influence nowadays, and the industry and commerce in Si Shang had not yet developed to the point where they became the mainstream of the population. So in general, the people of Song still supported the war against the princes.
