In the main camp of the Mo family thirty miles northeast of Shangqiu City, there are bonfires to resist the cold night in late autumn.

It’s like normal, I’m reading books at this time of day.

It’s not that he likes reading very much, but that he decides his identity.

As a revisionist who corrected Mozi's theory in an unusual way, this type of person has a common characteristic, that is, his understanding of the initial classics is more transparent than that of the person who wrote the classics.

Only in this way can we find chapters and sentences, take them out of context, and correct and condense our own system and theory from just a few words.

It was only more than twenty years since Mozi died. If Mozi had resurrected at this time, looking at this set of completely changed Mohist theories, he would definitely shout: I am not Mozhe.

However, Mo Zi has passed away and cannot be resurrected by death. She is wearing Mo Zi's bones and does what he wants to do.

The bright whale oil lamp was flashing, and at this time, Shi was reading a letter and replying carefully.

The letter was sent by Solu Chan of Pengcheng. This hero who once traveled thousands of miles away from the west can no longer withstand the invasion of time and his body is falling day by day.

The thoughts that many years ago in front of the Tower of Babel finally gathered into a question today.

Solu said in the letter that life and death have fate, and he realized that his life was not long, and he was so sad that he could not see the whole world unite, nor could he go through fire and water for the benefit of the world.

Before his death, Solu asked, if the rights of aristocrats cannot be inherited, why can human wealth be inherited? If land, workshop equipment, raw materials, and hired workers can buy them with money, what is the difference between hereditary wealth and hereditary power?

At the end of the letter, Soluzan asked, "There are tens of millions of people in the world, what is the origin of inequality between people?"

When land, utensils, raw materials, and hired workers can buy them with money, is the power of the princes and nobles defeated by money or by nature and justice?

This letter was a private letter, and Soluchan also said that the letter will not be made public.

He also knew Shi was busy preparing for the final decisive battle, but he knew that his life was not long and he didn't know if he could see Shi return, so he wanted to ask this question in his private identity rather than as the head of the Seiwen Literature.

I picked up the pen and didn't know what to write for a long time.

After a long time, the secretary walked into the tent and whispered: "Giant, regular meeting."

Two simple words, as if they had saved Shi's life, Shi felt that he had a formal reason to convince himself, and left his tent.

In a large tent of wool felt, half of the senior officials of the Mo family and officers of the regular division level gathered together. Shi waved away the questions of Solu Chan in his mind, and smiled and walked into the tent.

A colonel staff officer briefly explained the current situation. Now the main Mo family's vanguards are 11,000 and approaching Ningling. The scouts reported that the coalition forces of the princes did not choose to retreat in the same way, but chose to go south, intending to meet the 30,000 Korean troops in Yangxia.

On the map, a huge pocket has been basically tied up. When the coalition of princes has reached this point, it basically depends on whether the partial army in Yangxia, which is a doubtful soldier near Zhecheng can block the Korean army in Yangxia.

This time, the Mohist family gathered almost all the family assets and mobilized almost all veterans and sergeant-level retired officers who had been retired for five years, just to achieve their contributions.

The four main infantry divisions were all replaced with elite flint rifles, and a reorganized mechatronic gun division with hot and cold weapons mainly composed of retired veterans to make up for the number of anti-line personnel of the main infantry division inserted into Chengkuang.

The main force was 15,000 cavalry, including an elite military knight's heavy cavalry division and a light cavalry division. In addition, two brigades of combat engineers, a brigade's sporting infantry knights riding horses and dismounting the formation of infantry battles, and six first entered the camp's grenade company.

A total of about 120 copper cannons with iron bullets were gathered, which did not include the four small cannons provided by each brigade.

Such a luxurious lineup is the wealth that the Mo family has accumulated for 30 years. Although the army stationed in Chu is also elite, it is difficult to match so many bronze artillery and cavalry when fighting on the outside.

The importance of this battle is no longer necessary to be discussed in the military tent. Everyone present understands that once the victory is won, the princes of the north will no longer be able to stop the expansion of the Mohist family.

Looking at the latest enemy-to-me situation chart, the colonel's staff officer pointed to the direction between Ningling and Shangqiu and said: "The Qi people left about six thousand people to block the advance of our vanguard here."

"Where are nearly 6,000 people between Yangxia and Zhecheng, blocking the Korean army from Yangxia's direction to the north to meet with him."

"The scouts' reward, the war will start tomorrow morning between Ningling and Shangqiu. Judging from the weather, tomorrow will be a sunny day, with bright moons and sparse stars, which is suitable for field battles."

"The right wing in Chengkuang direction is also advancing here. According to the enemy's marching speed and retreat direction, if nothing unexpected happens, it will be possible to catch up with the final decisive battle."

After the general situation was explained, someone said, "I am a little worried now. Will the enemy marching southward and Hongshui itself be a kind of deception?"

"If the enemy pretended to meet in Hongshui, then retreated to Gucheng through Yangxia, and then retreated to Xu... In fact, taking advantage of the opportunity that Chengkuang's army began to assemble the battlefield, Yangxia Han army and Shangqiu Qi army suddenly headed northwest, breaking through our army's partial division in the direction of Chengkuang and retreating from Chengkuang?"

It is not impossible that Chengkuang is very close to Yongqiu. If the main force of the coalition forces retreated south, it would be a false alarm, but gathered forces to defeat the side troops in the direction of Chengkuang and retreated from Chengkuang to Yongqiu, the situation would not be very good.

At that time, although the Mo family still had the initiative in strategic offensives, the Qi and South Korea allied forces would rely on Yongqiu to resist and gradually retreat.

Someone shook his head and said, "Our army in Chengkuang direction is not newcomers who have never fought wars. Chen Yu, the infantryman, and Mi, the cavalryman, are both officers who have fought many wars. They will send scouts to see the situation on the battlefield."

"If the Korean army suddenly went north to Chengkuang, it would not work early or late."

"Chengkuang is 140 miles away from Shangqiu and 100 miles away from Yangxia. If the coalition of princes wants to retreat from Chengkuang's direction, it is impossible for him to give up Ningling and ignore it."

"Now our army has lifted the siege of Daicheng. Once we find that the enemy is retreating towards Yongqiu, we can go west immediately."

"As long as our army in Chengkuang direction is not defeated within half a day, we may surround the enemy near Chengkuang. The enemy will not dare to take this risk."

"If the coalition of princes did not advance rashly, but instead captured Daicheng first and then attacked Shangqiu, this kind of danger would exist."

"But the Duke of Qi had to hurry. If he was not anxious, Linzi would be in danger. So from the beginning when he chose to attack Si to force us to save him, he was destined to make it easy to make arbitrary progress. Time was not with them."

"As the master said, it seems that this is a decisive victory on the battlefield, but in fact the victory or defeat is determined by the cadres of our village and community, and the teachers have already decided. Our system determines that after we occupy Jianghan, Huaixi and Nanyang, it only takes three or two years to pull out more troops, and the princes have to be impatient."

He pointed to Ningling and Shangqiu and said, "In fact, the key to this problem lies in the Qi army's rear guards in Ningling."

"If they can delay for more than two days, then the princes can have many choices. But if they cannot delay for too long, in fact, the princes did not take the initiative to retreat, but were chased and fled by us, then the situation would be very different."

"Whether it is retreating to Yongqiu or choosing Hongshuixiang to go and Yangxia retreat, as long as our vanguard quickly breaks through the Qi army in the direction of Ningling, then the initiative of the entire battle will always be in our hands."

Tens of thousands of troops must have a vanguard on their side.

The mission of the Mohist vanguard troops is to open the passage and once they are found, they will be close to sticking.

The Qi army left about 6,000 people to block the attack. No matter what retreat route the princes chose, it depends on how long the six thousand people could block the attack.

If it is delayed for a long time, these ten thousand forwards will not be able to withdraw from the battle quickly. Even if they find that the main force of the princes is to attack Chengkuang's partial army, the Mo family will not be able to deploy quickly.

After discussion, Shi finally issued a death order to send the news to the vanguard army overnight.

In any case, before noon the next day, the blocking troops of the Qi army were defeated and the main force was opened at any cost.

…………

Twenty miles southeast of Ningling, there is an intersection of important roads connecting Ningling, Shangqiu and Chuqiu.

There is a not-so-large village here, right next to a small river.

The Qi army retreated from near Ningling has been stationed here for half a day and has excavated simple building.

About seven miles away from them were the vanguard of the Mohist family.

The soldiers all knew that war might be going to fight tomorrow. They did not know the comparison between enemy and us in this battle, nor did they know that the main force of the coalition forces was ready to leave.

The Qi army has no grassroots organizations, so the purpose and significance of the battle cannot be conveyed to the lowest level.

Because the more soldiers know, the more afraid they are to fight, and they are likely to choose to escape.

Only by keeping them in a state of knowing nothing and only knowing how to fight by the officer's orders can they complete this kind of blocking task.

In several tents in the village, several intermediate officers with Xuanyuan clan under their names were enjoying their dinner.

These tents were bought from Si Shang. The Mo family sold almost everything over the years. As long as they had money, food and copper, they could buy expired combs, felt tents, cotton painted cloth, etc.

It's a bit cold outside, and the tent needs to be warmer.

An officer is complaining.

"The harvest this year is over. Last year, the Mo family attacked Yue and Chu. Who would have thought that the war would start this year? I planted 1,400 acres of cotton, but now I am afraid that it has been transported away by the Mo family."

A person next to him comforted: "Don't be so depressed. Even if the Mo family does not send troops to Jiaodong, the war will continue to be done, can these cotton be sold at a regular price?"
