Xue Ling and Ah are all quite famous cities in Qi State, and later when the Marquis of Qi centralized power, there was a saying of "two doctors".

One of the reasons for appreciating Dr. Jimo and cooking Dr. Ah is that Doctor Ah sat back and watched Xue Ling being captured by Wei and did not save him.

Ah Di is roughly in the northeast of Yanggu County and the south of Dong'a in the later Wuda Jinlian, and is located along the Jishui River at this time.

Once the Mo family marched quickly to A, it was impossible for Doctor Pingyin to choose to continue to Chengyang Huihe.

For the Qi State, Linzi is the place where the Qi State must be saved, and breaking the level of Yin is equivalent to the soldiers coming to Linzi, and the Linzi army has to retreat.

But for Doctor Pingyin, Pingyin is his foundation, and he will not abandon his family and fiefdom to go to Chengyang to continue to cooperate with the Han coalition army.

If the troops are sent now, because of the lag in news transmission, it will take at least six or seven days for Doctor Pingyin to know the news that the Mo family has sent troops to Chengyang.

In the past six or seven days, Doctor Pingyin has not been idle, and he must lead the troops to continue to move forward. What they want to do is a sure thing, and what the Mo family is going to do is impossible to guess on the other side.

Six days, by the time the news reached the other side, even if he sensed the danger, it was too late to run.

The strategic situation on the battlefield has been clearly explained to everyone present, and the possibility of large-scale intervention by Wei and Han in the external environment is completely non-existent.

Qi State now retreats or not, it is up to Qi State to choose, the Mo family has won the "righteousness" through the innocent things of Lu State, and the counterattack against Qi State is not Fei Guo, but because the Mo family has accumulated enough strength to expand.

From beginning to end, the matter of Fei Guo is just an introduction.

For example, the radical Seventh Division, which was composed of fugitive serfs and a large number of radical young ink writers, was transferred to the land to trigger the incident of the escape of serfs from the Fei State, why did the Seventh Division choose Zhao Houxue, Zhongshan was contacted to prepare for the restoration of the country, the reform of the Qin State was imminent, and the timing set by the Prince of Chu Guoping was transferred to the place where the escape of the Fei serfs may cause friction every month, then it is very tasteful.

From beginning to end, the high-level of the Mo family did not look at Fei Guo about Fei Guo, but only used this introduction to seek the entire Huaibei.

Now that Qi Guo has been lured into this quagmire, even if Qi Hou personally apologizes at this time, there is always a reason to continue to fight with Qi Guo.

Qin, Chu, Zhao and other countries are all seeking change, this is a time to wait, the Mo family's time is also tighter, once the Chu State eases up, the Wei State is weakened, and the Qi State is also weakened, the contradictions between Chu and Mo will also be touched, and the time left for the Mo family is running out.

So this time, the Mo family made Shi and Gongzaoye, the two people with the most experience in combating 10,000 people, were in charge of the eastern and western fronts, and they had no intention of making a defensive war from the beginning.

There are some things that don't need to be said too clearly, and some things that can't be said clearly.

Now these people are surrounded by the right people, on the one hand, they need to be taught some strategic considerations, and on the other hand, they also need to know what they want to do, and determine the goal so that they can understand what to do when all kinds of accidents happen.

Whether it is to catch turtles in the yang urn, or to turn the passive into the active in the decisive battle of Jishui, the general strategic direction has not changed much, and some are only some details of the problem, all of which are to annihilate all the way and then threaten Linzi to force the Qi people to retreat and intercept and kill them halfway.

Many of the officers knew that the Mo family had relied on the power of merchants to build Yicang in Wei, Qi, Lu and other places half a year ago, and now that half a year has passed, this is one of the foundations for Shi's raid on Chengyang.

The merchants didn't expect that the Mo family's battle would be so big.

Merchants seek profits, when the Mo family "learned" Song Xianggong Yilu's innocence, the merchants were a little nervous, but it didn't cause much shock, they all thought that this was just a matter of the Fei country, even if the Mo family failed in the Fei country, they could still maintain the essence of Sishang.

If the merchants knew in advance that the Mo family was going to fight such a big battle related to the decline and strength of a country, it was likely that many businessmen would sell and run on some bills when Lu was innocent.

It is not only an alliance of farmers and businessmen, but also a double-edged sword for the development of merchant power, they can support the restoration of Zhongshan, and they can also cause chaos in Sishang, which has the best industrial and commercial development.

Fortunately, at the beginning of the establishment of Yicang, he chose many businessmen who had property in Si, and it was because the monks could not run the temple that these merchants completed their contracts safely and steadily, and did not bear greater losses in Si for small profits.

There is no need to be personally responsible for logistics, and the atlas in his hand also indicates the location of each warehouse along the way and the amount of grain stored.

Along the direction of Heshui to Heze, there is no need to consider the problem of logistics, there is a canal built by the husband back then, there is no big problem in transporting grain, and the road itself is not far.

But once inside the territory of the Qi State, logistical issues have to be considered.

There must be a large amount of grain and grass in Pingyin City, but you can't put all your hopes in Pingyin City, so a few Yicang in the territory of Qi State has become extremely important.

With a wave of rumors that "Sishang may ban grain entry or impose heavy taxes to protect the profits of farmers in Sishang", it led to the frightening low price of grain after this year's harvest near Onozawa, so that the purchase of grain by merchants was completed soon after the autumn harvest.

A large amount of grain is stored in Yicang, and the grassroots control capacity of Qi State is ...... When King Qi Wei was in power, Wei Guo captured Xue Ling, Zhao State attacked Zhen Di, and King Qi Wei didn't know it......

The merchants mostly colluded with the local nobles and officials, and the original construction of Yicang was also unified, basically some star-shaped fortresses built of earth and wood with row walls, which could not be fire-resisted, but as long as the other party had no cannons, it was easy to defend.

Shi nodded at the name of the six fingers and said, "I remember that there are ten of all the infantry knight companies in your division, right?" ”

The division of the Six Fingers was originally hired by Taoqiu and stationed near Taoqiu, and it was necessary to regularly exterminate some bandits who robbed merchants, so there were many infantry knight companies.

The so-called foot knights, that is, the infantry on horseback and maneuver, can form formations, and when necessary, they can charge the route, but the field does not expect them to charge into battle, and can only rely on their mobility advantage to threaten the flanks in battle.

Shi pointed out a few places on the map and said: "Tomorrow morning, troops will be dispatched." These ten infantry knight companies, not following the advance of the large army, drew three from other divisions, divided into four teams, and carried one or two small bronze cannons......"

"These places are where Yicang is located, between Qianmo, Qi people can't hinder it, you have to send the elite and young ink people in the division to follow, and when the army pretends to pounce on Chengyang, enter these Yicang defenses first."

"The merchants there should also have some guards, most of them are people who have gone out of the righteous master, you take over."

"The people of Qi can't beat it unless the main force comes. Tell them that they must hold on, and that they must tell the meaning of the Ink Masters! ”

Six Fingers nodded to show that he understood the meaning of Shi, these positions are very critical, but they are far away from the main force of Qi State, and it is difficult for the soldiers in the local cities to capture these Yicang fortresses equipped with muskets in a short time, so they can only choose to besiege.

Sieges are not a problem, and as soon as the main forces arrive, these sieges will naturally disperse.

The main force of Qi is too far away, and it is not worth it for the army to go, and the more people there are, the slower the speed of marching, and the time is enough for the main force of the Mo family to maneuver to Jishui.

After assigning the task, he told again: "Be quick, don't care about the horses." The route is set by your own division, in short, it is fast. ”

Six Fingers nodded and said, "This is a military order, I will definitely do it." ”

Shi called the commander and representative of the Fifth Division and said, "Your division, leave four brigades to move with logistics." Once the heavy bronze artillery reaches the vicinity of Onozawa, the main force will not carry it, and your four brigades will make a feint attack on Chengyang and move forward with great fanfare. ”

"In the vicinity of Chengyang, let the Wei and Han coalition forces not dare to move. Once the order was received, let a brigade and those heavy bronze cannons go down the Jishui River by boat to transport a batch of grain from Taoqiu. The rest of the people covered the people and retreated to Taoqiu to prevent Wei Han from passing through Taoqiu. ”

"Wei Han is only 20,000 people, they can't capture Taoqiu, your three brigades just need to protect the people who accompany the army."

Heavy copper cannons are used to siege cities, which will seriously delay the speed of the march, and it is good to have water, which can be transported by water.

And the main force of the righteous division wants to find the Pingyin doctor for a decisive battle in the Jishui Valley, and all those who delay the speed of the march cannot be carried.

To attack Pingyin, you can't do without heavy copper artillery. However, the rest of the cities that Pingyin doctors except Pingyin may have retreated to defend do not need these heavy copper cannons, and those city defenses that were completely outdated in the gunpowder era were enough to break the city by relying on the small cannons and sappers of the accompanying army.

Everyone understood the meaning of Shi, Shi This is to give up the heavy bronze cannon, part of the logistics rely on those foot knights and Yicang, which began to prepare half a year ago, the main force of 40,000 people is considered to be broken, relying on the advantage of marching speed in Jishui to find an opportunity to annihilate Pingyin Doctor in the field.

On the side of the Pingyin doctor, there were soldiers from various cities in the direction of the western front of the Qi State, the number of which was about 60,000, and the quality of the individual soldiers was not as good as that of the righteous teacher, and everyone present did not think that there was anything wrong with this.

At most, I didn't find a chance, retreated to Heze Taoqiu, and besieged Chengyang urn to catch turtles.

In addition to the heavy copper cannons used in siege and field battles, there are many small copper cannons that are light, can be pulled by horses, and are attached to the brigade level.

Even in the field, there is no disadvantage, as long as the cavalry is used properly, it is completely possible to seize the opportunity to capture the bronze cannon of the Qi State.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Shi Shi ordered a few more things, and temporarily placed the remaining brigade of the Fifth Division under the command of the division of the Six Fingers, and the officers did not have the slightest opinion: these soldiers were not the private soldiers of the nobles, and the righteous division of the Mo family was not the coalition army of the noble doctors, and there was no such thing as anyone's soldiers.

After making sure that there was nothing missing, Shi ordered: "Make dinner early tomorrow morning, as soon as the sun rises, set off immediately, and advance along the Heshui River towards Chengyang." For the time being, the ministries should not divulge the secrets of our decisive battle in Jishui, but there is no need to be stingy with all kinds of agitation. Remember, the faster you go, the more sure you are of winning. ”

"Tell those who are staring at the Qi people to do the news that they will send troops to Chengyang tomorrow, and there is no need to arrest those Qi people and let them pass on the news."

"Tonight, some of the people in charge of liaison along the way will set off, and they will not be delayed, and they will rest after they reach the designated location."

"If there is no doubt about it, then execute it."
