Ximen Leopard suddenly woke up, listening to the words that he didn't have half respect for Zhao Hou and was just a tool, and muttered: "You claim to respect the Heavenly Emperor and ghosts, but you lack the slightest sense of awe, and you have no respect for the noble princes in your hearts, how can you respect the heavens?" ”

The messenger smiled and said: "The people are the gods, and the people hope that the Emperor of Heaven will love the people, so the Emperor of Heaven loves the people." And not because the Emperor of Heaven loves the people, so it is right to love the people. They all love the people, and their meanings are different. ”

"The oath says that whatever the people want, the heavens will follow. All things and even people are born in nature, and the people benefit, that is the wish of the Emperor of Heaven and the ghosts and gods. We respect the emperors and ghosts, so we want to benefit the world. Erection Diao, Yi Ya Qi Huan is obedient in every way, that is not respect; Bigan advises the king, this is respect. ”

"As for the nobles...... If you read more, you will naturally know about the Prince Lu of the Bai Gongsheng Rebellion in the past, and later generations will call him benevolent, Zimo Ziyan Prince Lu is not benevolent, and the real benevolence should be to take this opportunity to ascend to the throne of the king of Chu, quell the rebellion, and appease the people of Chu. Because of the dignity of 'propriety', it is better to commit suicide than trespass, and the people suffer, what kind of benevolence is this? ”

"So we are not supporting Gongzizhang, but supporting a person who may make the people of Zhao better off. The lesser of two evils, Gongzi Zhang is slightly better than Gongzi Dynasty, so he supports Gongzi Zhang. If Gongzi Zhang dies, there are many descendants of the Zhao family, and Gongzi Dynasty has the name of killing the monarch and colluding with the Wei people, has no one stood up and is willing to avenge the king? ”

Ximen Leopard was silent for a long time, and finally understood that Wei's strategy had made a big mistake.

From the outbreak of the Qimo War to the Battle of Nanjishui, Wuqicheng Chongquan and then to the Qin State to start the civil strife, although the situation of Wei is ugly, in the eyes of Wei Zhen, Gongshu Acne, Ximen Leopard and others, it is not without a glimmer of life.

They knew Wu Qi's ability, and because of Xihe's grudge, the threat of Qin was in the near future.

If Zhao State threatens Wei State again, it will really be attacked from all sides. Therefore, when the intervention war starts, it is impossible to stop, and stopping also means that Wei and Zhao are completely broken, and it is impossible to form an alliance.

That being the case, it is better to open up the situation on the northern front first.

As part of the whole battle situation, Ximen Leopard knew the strategy of Wei Zhen and Gongshu Acne, took the west of Zhangshui as the preset battlefield, took advantage of the logistics advantage close to the essence of the east of the Wei River, relied on the siege of Zhao Capital Zhongmu, lured Gao Yanagi's reinforcements to cross the river for a decisive battle, and used the Xihe warriors to defeat the field forces that Gongzizhang could use in one fell swoop, so as to completely reverse the political situation of Zhao and support Gongzi Dynasty so that Wei and Zhao continued to be close.

This strategy envisages that it is true, and the success rate is high if it is a decisive battle, but it is ...... As the envoy of the Mo family said, Zhao Du is not a place where the Mo family must be saved, and Gongzizhang is not a person that the Mo family must follow, and the Mo family is not willing to fight a decisive battle, but can not fight a decisive battle, and can slowly find other agents within the Zhao State.

When the time comes, it will be nothing more than a drag. Gao Liu is in the north, can Wei afford to drag it out? If Wei doesn't send troops, can Gongzi Chao defeat Gao Liu with that little force?

The Mo family dragged it casually, even if Gaoliu was gone, would there ever be a loss in Sishang?

How did Wei drag on? dragged on for three years and five years, dragged until the army of Chu recaptured Daliang, dragged until Wu Qi crossed Luoshui with Qin soldiers, and dragged until the Mo family marched all the way from Chengyang to Hedong?

The essence of the Mo family is Sishang, and if you want to do something about Sishang, you need to consider the attitudes of Qi, Chu, Han, and Song.

Simon Leopard kept silent, he knew that the Mo family's arguments were invincible, and he also knew that the Mo family was actually negotiating, and one of the major skills of negotiation was to talk from the other party's point of view everywhere.

The reason why the Mo family talks about it is because the Mo family still hopes that Gongzi Zhang will ascend to the throne and achieve peace.

The reason why the Mo family has confidence is because they don't talk about it, they gave up their interests and completely pulled the Wei State into the abyss.

After a long silence, Ximen Leopard sighed: "The king's order must not be disobeyed, even if it is beneficial to Wei, but the prince's order cannot be violated." Isn't it the same for the Mo family, could it be that the generals of the Mo family can disobey the orders of the giant? Doesn't the Mo family talk about loyalty? If you talk about loyalty, why should you embarrass a loyal servant? ”

The messenger rolled his eyes and said: "The evil is still loyal to the king of the world, and the king of martial arts insists on punishing him, that is, the king of martial arts wants to make the people of the world disloyal?" ”

Simon Leopard is unwilling to continue to debate with these people in the Mo family, the righteousness of the two sides is fundamentally different, chickens and ducks talk, where can there be a normal debate? There is no point in arguing between two sides that don't even have the same definition in black and white.

After pondering for a long time, Ximen Leopard said: "In this case, please let me report to the king." ”

The messenger nodded and shook his head, "It's okay to repay it, but time can't give you too much." Up to fifteen days. ”

"On the fifteenth, you can let the Wei army west of Zhangshui gallop to make peace with you, and when our army is passive, you can also be regarded as delaying time."

"Besides, I have heard that it will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected, and if it is beneficial to the country, it will be done, and if it is not good, it will be stopped. If there is no reply within more than ten days, or if our scouts find that the Wei people west of Zhangshui are moving, our army will attack them. ”

"In Handan City, there are still tens of thousands of peasant soldiers, fighting in the field, attacking back and forth, and I don't need to say whether they will win or lose."

Simon Leopard said angrily: "Fifteenth! How can I get to Anyi and return on the 15th? Isn't it a felony to withdraw an army without the king's orders? ”

The messenger smiled and said, "Su Wen, Wen Hou ...... before he died."

Ximen Leopard reprimanded angrily: "Wen Hou Xu! The princes are gone! ”

The messenger smiled and changed his words: "薨薨薨...... Before Wen Hou Xu, he entrusted state affairs to Duan Ganmu, Tian Zifang, Beimen Ke, Wu Qi and Jun. Now Duan Ganmu, Tian Zifang, and the North Gate are all gone, and Wu Qi is running to Qin, but you are still there. ”

"Disobeying the king's orders, but leaving an elite army for the Wei State, so that Ye Di can be guarded and prosperous, even if you are guilty, you will accept it, right?"

"Who let ...... Are you a loyal servant? ”

The messenger bowed and then took his leave.

Ximen Leopard did not stay, after the envoy went out, someone brought horses, and the prisoner looked at the envoy's face quietly, and did not know what the result of this negotiation was.

He really didn't like to talk about it.

Now Ximen Leopard's strength is not enough to attack the two forces of Handan City and Gaoliu Army, and military exploits mean promotion means glory, and it also means an extraordinary life.

Although the prisoner has a heart for the benefit of the world in his heart, he will inevitably think: If he makes some more meritorious achievements, then he can go back to Sishang Military Academy to study again, he can become a school officer, and he can be a deputy brigade commander......

Now the Yedi peasants and soldiers under Handan City are the best opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and they really don't want to talk about peace talks, so they said in their hearts: "There are many unjust wars in the Wei State, so why don't you take this opportunity to beat them hard, so as not to cause trouble in the future." ”

On the horse, he looked at the face of Wei Ren's pawn and the armor and weapons on his body, and said in his heart, he had already heard that the warriors were extremely strong, but these people were not warriors.

I thought of the case of Wu Qi charging into battle with a martial knight in the Battle of Daliang when I was studying at the previous military academy, and I couldn't help but think again, I don't know how the martial knights of the Wei people are compared to the two regular shock cavalry brigades of Gao Liu?

With all kinds of strange thoughts, he left the Wei camp, and on the way back, a soldier came to the side of the prisoner and asked in a low voice: "Company commander, do you think this battle can be fought?" ”

The prisoner scratched his head and said, "How do I know?" Listen to the commands above. The order changes, we run and break our legs, who knows. ”

…………

In the Wei camp, the generals were also asking whether Ximen Leopard would fight or not.

Whether you fight or not is the most important thing, but how you fight is not important.

The army in the hands of Ximen Leopard is worthy of besieging the city, and it is a fool's dream to maintain the siege posture while fighting a decisive battle with the Takayanagi Army, and the troops are obviously insufficient.

The group of people in the city don't just know how to defend to the death, the Mo family's defense of the city is to go out of the city for a decisive battle, and the lower defense is to stick to a city, if you really fight, you really have to face a situation of fighting from both sides.

If you want to fight, you can move the camp and choose to retreat south near the city wall, but that will certainly eliminate the dilemma of being flanked from both sides, but it will also allow the Gaoliu Army and the Handan peasant soldiers to join forces.

If you really want to fight, you can only choose to defend after moving the camp, make your own bait, and fish Handan and Gaoliu, the strongest field army, so that the Xihe soldiers can support, but it will be at least more than ten days.

Ximen Leopard thought to himself, in the first battle of Nanjishui, the Qi people defended for three days and then the whole line collapsed, and the Qi army was no better than the troops in his hands now: at that time, the Qi people did not have so many complaints.

Even if the Qu generals are not as suitable as the shackles, and even if the artillery of the Gaoliu Legion is less than the elite of Sishang, they can join forces in Handan, and they can't hold it at all.

If the troops are withdrawn, Wei's entire strategy against Zhao will be completely over: if he retreats, the Wei army along the Zhangshui River must also be withdrawn, otherwise it will be broken; As soon as the retreat there, Uncle Gong's Xihe pawn also had to run, otherwise the flanks would be exposed, and the Xihe pawn was not all out this time, lacking the rest of the cover, and the winning rate was low.

If they don't retreat, the Mo family will definitely lose thousands of people, but it can buy time for Zhangshui and Uncle Acne to join forces, but it is useless to join forces.

Zhongmu is still in a stalemate stage, and it cannot be attacked in a short period of time, and the combined forces cannot be attacked; At most, the combined troops can guard against being broken by the Mo family, but if they want to chase the Mo family to march in the Zhao State, they are afraid that they will set off the collective opposition of the Zhao State, and the logistics will not be able to keep up at all.

The key to this lies in the Mo family's attitude towards Zhongmu: it is not necessary to save it, so that the initiative is in the hands of the Mo family, if you want to fight, you can fight, if you don't want to fight, you will fight the rebels, fight Gongzizhi, Gongzi Dynasty, and then pull back Gaoliu to prepare for defense. Even if Gongzizhang is dead, there is still a clan in Jinyang, Zhao Guo really wants to mess up to that point, who doesn't want to hold the banner of rebellion and call Hou?

Give it a go, the son and grandson will become the prince, this temptation is too great.

Several generals and colonels in the tent also said: "I think we should withdraw." There are many complaints in the army, and the autumn harvest is imminent, if you don't return to the division, you will starve everywhere in the next year, and the people will not be even more resentful? ”

"Handan City can not be down in one day, Hu Feizi got the legend of Mo Zhai, Qu Jiangzi was in Qi in the past and Hu Feizi led him into ink, the five brave words made it non-fighting, the two joined forces, and there was no discord, and the internal system of the Mo family was strict, and the Qu Jiang was outside for ten years, but he couldn't help but obey orders."

Where does Simon Leopard not know that these are the truths?

But where can I tell the bitterness in my heart?

Originally, this time Wei Guo's idea, it was really beautiful, taking advantage of Qi Mo's war, verbally supporting Qi Guo and instigating Qi and Mo to fight for the two snipe mussels, but they didn't want Qi Guo to be a mussel, but the Mo family was not a sandpiper, but a giant falcon, grabbed this mussel and broke it directly, how could there be a situation where the mouth was clamped?
