The plan of the empty city, the empty is empty, and the doubt is doubtful; When it is rigid and soft, it is strange and strange.

It can be used both positively and reversely.

Today's balance of strength between the enemy and us is completely different from the situation when I was ready to give up Shangqiu and lure the enemy deep into the single father.

In addition, this time the princes prepared in a hurry, not because they were fully prepared with the combined efforts of Zhao, Wei, Wei, Han, and Qi, so there was no need to give up so much.

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

After the attack, they can divide into a combined attack, and they will cover the flanks under Shangqiu City.

If you want to fight a war of annihilation, you must annihilate the enemy all the way, then you need to mobilize the enemy army in an extremely narrow space, make it flawed, and create a time difference to defeat the enemy's main force all the way.

Now the Mo family's side has a great advantage, not to mention the troops, the princes don't know that the main force of the Mo family is gathering and hiding in Pei, Feng and other places.

They thought that it would take them to march towards Laiwu with those main forces, and even if they wanted to return to the division, it would take a while.

And the Mo family can take advantage of this.

Judging from all aspects, it is very likely that the main force of the alliance of the princes will march from Yongqiu in Korea.

Yongqiu, the capital of Qiguo, which was originally worried, and Qixian in later generations, is not far from Daliang.

At this time, there was a canal in Daliang, which was the best place for the princes' logistics transfer.

Along the canal, you can pass through the water and sand.

Eighty miles south of Yongqiu, it is Yangxia.

A hundred miles west of Yangxia, it is Xu.

Xu Xiangxi is the important checkpoints such as Xiangcheng in South Korea and Ye, Fangcheng and Xianghe occupied by the Mo family.

It is very likely that the alliance of princes will capture Xu first, divide the troops to defend it, and then send field mobile troops to the west to attack Yangxia.

At that time, it will be possible for the real main force to go out of Yongqiu, attack Ningling, coerce Chuqiu and Anyang, and threaten the Heshui Taoyi fortified area that the Mo family has operated for many years behind the flank.

The task of the coalition army of the princes who captured Yangxia was to cover the flank of the main force, block the Mojia army in the land of Chen and Xiang, and prevent the flank from outflanking.

This tactic of splitting and attacking requires a high level of coordination, and either side can go wrong if they take a few quick steps or a few slow steps.

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

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

The Wei army, the army of Wei Liqiu Chengyang, and part of the army north of Juye of Qi State were to attack Heshui when the Han army captured Xucheng and contain the direction of Heshui.

Once the Han army broke through Xu, the main force of the princes' coalition army could send troops from Yongqiu.

And when the main force of the coalition army sent troops from Yongqiu, the main force of the Korean army in Xu Di also had to march in Chaoyangxia.

When the main force of the Korean army besieged Yangxia, the main force of the coalition army was to march to Ningling.

It's not going to be fast, it's not going to be slow.

If Xudi had not yet been captured, the main force of the coalition forces in Yongqiu would begin to leave Yongqiu and attack Ningling, then its right flank would be completely exposed.

What the Mo family is best at in field warfare over the years is to quickly outflank, and the princes' coalition forces must be prepared.

If Xudi is captured and the Korean army has captured Yangxia and continues to march towards Xiangcheng, but the main force of the coalition army is still in Yongqiu, then the Korean army is in danger of being surrounded.

The perfect coordination between the two main forces is to maintain a safe distance of about 100 miles at all times, and if either side is attacked, the other can quickly support.

The so-called empty city plan does not mean that the empty city scares away the other party.

Instead, he used the stereotyped style of the Mohist family's field warfare for more than 20 years before, while deterring the princes of one road, and inducing the princes of the other to advance.

The reason is simple.

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

And the main force of the Mo family has been hidden in the line of Pei and Feng, which makes the princes believe that the Mo family's troops in Sishang are insufficient at this time.

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

If the empty city is withdrawn, the enemy troops in the direction of Xu, Yangxia, and Xiang must be worried that this is the Mo family's plan to lure the enemy into the depths, although they will not see the empty city and not enter, but they will definitely send scouts to advance cautiously and slow down the speed of the march.

The enemies of Xu, Yangxia, and Xiang are inevitably only flanks, and cannot be the main force.

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

And if the enemy on the front line of Xu and Yangxia does not attack Shangqiu, the main force will go straight to Pengcheng, and they will have to pass through Fulisai and Dangshan City, which have been operated by the Mo family for a long time, and once they can't attack it, they will be trapped in the encirclement and unable to advance or retreat.

Therefore, the task of the enemy forces on the front line of Xu and Yangxia is to ensure the right flank of the main force of the coalition army, to prevent the attack on Shangqiu from going south for a while, and the troops in the Huaixi area of the Mo family will go north to cut off the back road, and once the main force withdraws, it will be surrounded and annihilated.

If you can send a small number of troops in the direction of the main force of the coalition army on the central front, but not too much, and not too much; At the same time, on the right side of the coalition army, he made a posture of luring the enemy in an empty city, and deliberately sent scouts to harass and expose his intentions......

This is very likely to induce the coalition forces to make a wrong judgment: the number of Mojia's field troops in Sishang is not enough to eat the main force of the coalition army, so they dare not move the idea of the main force of the coalition army, so they choose a small number of troops to die; The Mojia Field Corps left behind in Sishang intended to lure the coalition forces on the right to advance, luring them with empty cities, wanting to fight a battle of annihilation, break their right flank and force the coalition forces to retreat.

Once the right forces can be mobilized to induce the coalition commander to think in this direction, then the opportunity may arise.

The coalition forces did not dare to delay, if it dragged on, there would be no results, and it was likely that the Mo family would first defeat Linzi and then return to help.

Then after making a wrong judgment, the commander of the coalition army is very likely to advance with the main force and break the Mo family's attempt to annihilate his right flank with the threat of attack.

Or it is believed that the main forces of the Mojiasi troops are all looking for opportunities to set up ambushes on the right side, and the main forces of the coalition forces can drive straight down Shangqiu.

At that time, the stubborn defense of a small number of Mo family's troops in the middle lane will make the coalition commander even more convinced that the Mo family's intention is to flank the right flank.

Because when the time comes, only the coalition forces need to storm and the part of the dead defenders who pretend to be bluffing cannot hold and withdraw, which will make the coalition forces believe that the center is real and the right is false.

This empty city plan is used in reverse rather than in the right way, not to scare the enemy army from daring to advance, but to encourage the enemy army to take the initiative to attack.

With such an empty city plan placed on the right side, the princes' coalition army could only think in two directions.

Either they think that the Mo family is shrinking their forces to defend the Chinese army, giving up the right flank, and gathering forces to shrink the front to confront; Either they are attacking and defending, trying to lure the right side of the army with an empty city, so as to cut off one of their fingers and force the coalition to retreat without the need for the main force to return for reinforcements.

In order to fool the enemy, it is necessary to find ways to induce the commander of the coalition forces to think about the second possibility, and to deceive the other side with an empty city and see through it as a reality, but in fact it is a vacuum.

The best result was that the enemy believed in the second possibility, and made a judgment based on it, and the Chinese army risked attacking Shangqiu, so that the distance between the middle and the right was about a hundred miles.

Once this distance is widened, the real main force of the Mo family will have the opportunity to completely annihilate the main force of the Chinese army of the coalition army with a great advantage in strength, and then cut off the rear of the right army of the coalition army with light cavalry and a rapid attack on the first camp, and fight a battle of annihilation that completely destroys the last field army of Qi and Han.

If it can be achieved, then this should be the last battle of the Central Plains, and the east can break through Linzi and drink the Yellow River; The West can come to Luoyi to win the championship.

If it can't be reached, the intention is exposed in advance, and the enemy is not fooled, then at most it will expose that the main force of the Mo family is not in the direction of Laiwu, and the Qi and Han coalition forces will withdraw, then it will return to the previous plan: let the Qi State return to Jiaodong, and it will take time to drag it to Jianghan and Huaixi to be completely stabilized.

This is not the time when the Song State coup d'état was still worried about the intervention of the princes' coalition forces, and now that the advantages are all there, there is no need to be too nervous to tremble because there is no way out.

The more this is the case, the clearer the mind will be, and it will be easier to let go of the work without being nervous.

…………

In general, the people of the Song Dynasty were quite supportive of waging war against the princes.

The peasants in the western part of the Song Kingdom, affected by the policies of the peasants, lived a fairly good life.

In the eastern part of the Song Kingdom, although there are some bad complaints, no matter how bad the Mo family is on the whole, those nobles must be stronger, at least they are still supportive for the time being.

The eastern part of the Song Kingdom was not a traditional Mohist direct territory, but more like a colony, so the people there were actually very complaining, and there was room for conservative and reactionary ideas to spread there.

Many people complained: "The first-class people are the workshop owners and big businessmen; The second class of people are village farmers, homesteaders, and craftsmen; The third-class people were workers, and the bankrupt farmers who lost their land and were not accepted by the Mojia Farming Society had to work in the workshops in the city. ”

It's no wonder that some people complain, it's true.

The life of yeoman farmers is much better than that of farmers who had supported private ownership and are now bankrupt by land annexation.

Under the condition of not going bankrupt, the homesteaders have more than 100 acres of land, one or two cows and two horses, plowing in spring and harvesting in autumn, leisurely and rich.

But the peasants who supported private ownership at the beginning, but went bankrupt for various reasons, are very different.

They lost their land, and in order to support the cheap labor needed by industry and commerce, the Mohists did not take the initiative to accept them into the co-farming society or redistribute the land in order to support the cheap labor needed for industry and commerce, and they had to go into exile in the city to become hired workers in the workshops under the pretext that they were inconvenient to interfere with the idea that the local school was governed by nature, inaction, and morality.

However, the Mo family did not completely disagree, but used a way of price control to force the employees here to be in a situation where they were more than before and less than others.

If it was too hard, these people could have left the city and went to Sishang to join a co-farming society with some harsh conditions to obtain land.

This made some of the local workshops and land workers less miserable, and in fact this less miserable was due to technological progress and the spread of high-yielding crops, rather than the system in the eastern Song region.

However, it is difficult for the people to distinguish between them, and they are not too miserable, and whether they support it or not has no impact on the overall situation.

The main force of the army was the village communities where the land was forbidden to be bought and sold, the public-run workshops and mines, the fanatical citizens of the small producers, and some villages controlled by the peasants.

As for the hired laborers on the workshop land, they were not the ruling class, and the new class that emerged in Sishang certainly did not consider the problem from their point of view when they enacted the law.

In some places, reactionary trends of thought are still very marketable.

After all, if there were no wars, the era of feudal serfdom could still achieve the fantasy of idyllic idyllics, and it would sound better than the current land annexation and mixing into the city to work as a hired laborer.

However, at this time, those who accepted these reactionary trends of thought due to the limitations of the times were neither the main force of soldiers nor the main force of paying taxes, nor were they very numerous.

They are the gravediggers of the new era, but this group of gravediggers is still in an ignorant situation at this time, and the only way they can think of to resist is to go to the common farming community for a few years and suffer more than 100 acres of land and a cow; Either they believe in the sad cry of the nobles who are half elegy and half curse, and feel that they still have to return to the era when the village community's home land was not available for sale, and the nobles could be rewarded with a few cups of bitter wine during the New Year's festival sacrifices, at least they still have a piece of home land.

They were not the majority, their influence was not quite sufficient, and the industry and commerce in Sishang had not yet developed to the point where they became the mainstream of the population, so in general the people of the Song Dynasty still supported war against the princes.

Many people lack passion, but they are forced by the law and rules to respect it, but it is enough. Regardless of the deeds, there are not many people who subjectively benefit the world, and there are enough people who have to objectively benefit the world based on rules and regulations.
