Chapter 199: Capture the Army (I)
Wenshui coast, south of Mount Tai.
Shi sat in Boyi, coordinated the war between the Qi State and the Mo family, and the good news has been continuous for many days, and Shi's mood is extremely relaxed and happy.
An envoy had already been sent from the Wei side and arrived in Chengyang, and the treaty between the Wei and the Mo family was a foregone conclusion.
The state of Lu sent the doctor to Pengcheng to discuss the matter of Lu Hou Chan letting Yutai watch the fish, including the condition that it was impossible for the state of Lu to provide food to the Qi army.
Tens of thousands of troops of Qi were crowded in the semi-mountainous areas between Wenshui, Yishui, and Zishui, and they could not advance or retreat. Laiwu's defenses had been reinforced, and Tian Qing's several attempts to attack had failed.
In the direction of Linzi, Qi Gongzi has also secretly sent people to contact the Mo family, saying that his uncle's is not, and it seems that the coup d'état in Linzi is not far away.
Just as Sun Pu and others were looking forward to the victory over the Linzi Army, the Prince of Qi also looked forward to the annihilation of the Linzi Army, so as to completely disintegrate the power of his younger brother and uncle and pave the way for a successful coup d'état.
Now, a noose has stretched to Tian Qing Gongziwu's Linzi army, and now it has been tightened.
On the eastern front, the Qi army in the direction of Jucheng did not dare to move, and the Mo family Xi Liu had the strength to log in directly near Jucheng, once the Jucheng army was dispatched, the Mo family's Xi Liu could directly attack Jucheng.
On the southern front, the changes in the Lu State are imminent, and another part of the main force of the righteous division led by Gong Zaoye is stationed in the Lu State, which can harass the back road of the Linzi Army at any time.
On the northern line, the shores of Wenshui have all been in the hands of the Mo family, and Liang's father in the south of Wenshui has also become a thorn in the mouth of the Mo family stuck in the mouth of Tian Qing's army.
The land reform along the Jishui coast has been carried out vigorously, the Wei and Han coalition forces have given up the idea of attacking against the Mo family, the Wei State and the Mo family are about to make peace, and the Chu State has launched another attack in Chendi, and the Wei State does not dare to move.
Now that the Mo family does not have seven inches, it is suitable to infer any move that Tian Qing can do.
In terms of logistics, with the progress of land reform and the harvesting of wheat, grain is not a problem for the Mo family.
And the supply line running through Heshui, Jishui, and Surabaya, it is impossible for the Qi Linzi army to cut off the need to march three or four hundred miles.
The only Wei State that has the ability to cut off the supply line is now too busy to take care of itself.
Le Yang killed himself, the soldiers of the fiefdom Lingshou were all returned to his grandson Lechi, and the cavalry of Zhongshan cooperated with the mercenary infantry funded by the merchant to win the battle; After Zhao Guo received the news of the first battle of Mojia Jishui, he also completely gave up the idea of making peace with Wei, and the conditions proposed were also impossible for Wei to accept; The state of Chu is bound to win Chen Cai, and the prince will be difficult to support alone; Wu Qi of Qin State has already entered Qin, the city of Chongquan, Luoyin, Wei State is surrounded by enemies, at this time do not dare to be martyred in order to maintain the "courtesy" of the world, and do not hesitate to be divided by Qin, Chu, Zhao Zhongshan, and provoke the Mo family.
Now there is only one way left for Tian Qing, the minister of Tian He, to lay down Laiwu and withdraw from Laiwu to Linzi.
But there seems to be another way left for Tian Qing, that is, to wait for the mediation of the princes of the world to preserve his strength.
It seems that the Mo family occupies many cities in the Qi Kingdom, but their strength is not dispersed, and they don't need to fight fires everywhere.
On the other hand, Tian Qing's Linzi army needs to divide at least 40,000 troops to guard against the Lu State and the Gongzao Metallurgical Department, fearing that they will be copied from the back road.
It is necessary to divide 10,000 troops to guard the grain road, and beware of the Mo family cutting off the supply line between Ju and the army.
It is necessary to divide troops to guard against the active attack of Liang's father on the Mojia salient, and it is necessary to divide troops to garrison the few remaining cities in order to collect more grain and grass: the Linzi army and Liang's father's troops are concentrated in a few towns, and the logistics cannot be supported at all, so they can only loot the people as much as possible, otherwise the army will be on the verge of collapse.
In this case, it seems that the Mo family occupies many cities in the Qi State, but once the Wei State makes peace, the right side can take out at least 30,000 to 35,000 soldiers and have a decisive battle with Tian Qing.
And Tian Qing, it seems that there are nearly 100,000 soldiers in Linzi with 70,000 Linzi troops plus Liang's father and Fei Di, but there are only 40,000 or 50,000 people who can really be used for mobile field battles and can truly fight a decisive battle.
It's not urgent, he's waiting.
The peace treaty between Wei and the Mo family, that was not the time for the war to be launched, the treaty was just a piece of paper that could be torn up at any time.
But if the legions in the direction of the Great Liang of the Wei State began to move and engage Chu, then it would prove that the Wei State and the Mo family had really made peace, and that was when he could safely and boldly mobilize all his forces to fight a decisive battle.
The news from those land reformers along the Wenshui coast is that they hope to be able to deal with the Linzi army before the autumn harvest.
Why don't you think so?
One is that this can make the land reform and grassroots organization construction in the Wenshui area smoother.
Second, once the autumn harvest is made, I am afraid that Tian Qing's army will be able to support it for a period of time, and the situation in the world is changeable, and the decisive battle at this time will often be divided within three or five days, and I don't want to delay it any longer, so as not to have an accident.
But he could only choose not to be in a hurry, and forced Tian Qing to be anxious with a posture of not being in a hurry.
I believe that Tian Qing and Tian Wu will be in a hurry, especially after the news of land reform comes out.
Because the land reform means that the Mo family seems to want to take root in Wenshui and Jishui, and the Mo family's ability to govern and build is obvious to all.
Thinking about it from another perspective, I feel that if I am Tian Qing, considering that more than 30 cities and nearly 200,000 people from the south of the Tailai Mountains, the upper reaches of Jishui, the southwest of Qi and the south of the Great Wall are all controlled by the Mo family, and the Mo family has issued an unjust order, I am afraid that it will be difficult to sleep and eat.
…………
It's right to guess that Tian Qing and Tian Wu have really been in the dormitory for more than a month, especially after the news that the Mo family was rumored to sign an unjust order.
Tu Wucheng's goal was achieved tactically, but it actually failed strategically.
Tactically, it was to delay the pursuit speed of the Mo family's public smelting department, so as to get out quickly.
However, strategically, the purpose of delaying the Ministry of Public Metallurgy was to quickly pass through the Lu State and return to Laiwu before the appropriate army could react, so that it could withdraw to Linzi.
But what I didn't expect was that tactically the Gongzao Metallurgical Department was indeed delayed, but strategically the Mo family on the northern front seized Laiwu in front of them, cutting off the way for the Linzi army to return to Linzi.
In fact, this time difference is only a short five or six days, but it is these five or six days that completely determines the current predicament of the Linzi Legion.
Laiwu is in hand, retreat can return to Linzi, and enter can coerce the Mo family not to dare to attack Linzi from the northern front.
Laiwu was in the Mo family, he couldn't go back, and he didn't dare to move, and he was surrounded on all sides.
Now Liang's father is also occupied by the Mo family, which is the salient of the south of Wenshui.
The northeast direction of Liang's father is Laiwu, and the actual location of the Qi army is within a narrow range east of Liang's father, south of Laiwu, and west of Yishui.
It looks empty on all sides, but it doesn't make a difference on all sides.
On the eastern front, it is not impossible to cross the Yimeng Mountains, but the speed of action must be slow. However, the Ministry of Public Metallurgy can be directly inserted from Lu State to Yishui to intercept, if it is intercepted by the suitable department chasing behind in the mountainous area, there is no other possibility except for a big defeat.
Go north to Laiwu, the Mo family who is good at defending the city under the attack can not attack Laiwu also said, it is rumored that the command post of the Mo family is installed in Boyi, Boyi is in the south of Mount Tai, very close to Liang's father, once Laiwu is in danger, the Mo army gathers Liang's father to insert the back road of the Linzi army, and the attack on Laiwu can not be attacked, and the direction of Liang's father can be inserted into the back road, and there is no other possibility except for the destruction of the whole army.
Attacking Liang's father in the west, there is no use for fart. Liang's father is in the hands of the Mo family, and he can attack and defend. However, if it is in the hands of the Qi army, it can neither cut off the Wenshui transportation line, nor can it threaten the supply of the Mojia family, such as Dayozawa and Wuyan, and other places, it will have to divide troops to defend it.
Going south, Lu Guo's attitude was not discussed, Wucheng was slaughtered, and Feidi had no foothold. Even if you go to Feidi, what can you do next? Relying on homesickness, no war, fear, and being shocked by the Mo family's skill of defending the city for 20 years, the soldiers desperately went to fight Peixian and Pengcheng?
Sishang hasn't mobilized yet.
The strategic significance of the Wucheng massacre was not achieved, Laiwu was not in his hands, and he also provoked a commotion, and was issued an injustice order by the Mo family...... This is really stealing chickens and rice, and completely sinking yourself into death.
The news from Linzi also made Tian Wu very uneasy.
When his cousin faced the problem of punishment and injustice, the solution he gave was to hope that various countries would mediate to save his brother, where is the salvation?
Tian Wu thought to himself, the group of people of the Mo family will not turn their heels to death, they are not afraid of death and do not love money for the sake of righteousness, and they believe that their righteousness will not waver, and they expect all countries to mediate?
Make things bigger, the world knows that in order to maintain their own righteousness and their own image of doing what they say, they have to die if they don't die!
If we really hope that the countries will mediate, I am afraid that there will be no room for maneuver.
He couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, thinking that his father and son are filial piety, brothers are loved, and they have the same surname and morality, you actually want me to die?
In history, he hacked his cousin to death with his own hands, but now it has not happened, and he can't help but feel that he has been wronged.
His father also came with news, saying that he had been heartbroken recently, this seems to be a family disease, the Tian family has a heartache disease from above, this Tian Wu who later died of "avoiding illness and avoiding medicine" is still young at this time, but he also knows some things about his family, and his heart is even more worried.
He is not a prince.
The real prince is his cousin.
He came to power by a coup d'état.
But the coup d'état must be in the capital, once his father dies and his cousin succeeds in ascending to the throne, then even if he has a coup d'état, he is afraid that it will be useless.
His fiefdom is in Weishui, and the Linzi Legion he now controls is a Linzi person, once his cousin takes the throne, then the people of this legion will definitely not follow him, but will choose to go home.
If the righteousness is not in hand, it is difficult to make a difference.
Tian Qing had previously opposed a quick return to Linzi, which was based on the occupation of Laiwu.
If Laiwu is in hand and does not return to Linzi, then the cousin will not dare to make a coup, and if the coup d'état, tens of thousands of Linzi troops will immediately return to the division to kill them, and they will win.
But now that Laiwu is not in hand, tens of thousands of troops are cramped within 100 miles, even if there is a coup d'état in Linzi, what can be done?
Besides, now it seems, how can his cousin need a coup d'état?
The cousin is a real prince, as long as his father dies, he will be rightfully on the throne. On the contrary, his father wanted to create opportunities for himself, either to live a few more years, or to launch a coup d'état to kill the crown prince before he died......
