The commander of the first army needs to make a "correct" judgment from all kinds of intelligence, but whether it is correct or not needs to wait until the end of the battle to know.

The judgment made by Doctor Pingyin may not be "correct", because the movement of the main force of the Mo family may be to make a false shot in preparation for the onslaught on Chengyang.

However, if it is really for the sake of storming Chengyang, compared to the main force of the Mo family to find an opportunity to annihilate his Pingyin army, he can only choose the lesser of two powers.

The former needs to be blamed, but the latter may be directly captured.

His order was issued, and the people around him also questioned the fact that the main force of the Mo family was shaking a shot to capture Chengyang.

Doctor Pingyin sighed and said: "In the first battle of Lushui, the king of Yue was captured, and his troops were no less than Sima Sui Tho. The Mo family is good at fighting, and there are ink people who are caught in it and are not afraid of death. ”

"Although our army has 60,000 troops, there are many peasant soldiers. If he really wants to find an opportunity to annihilate us in Jishui, who can fight? ”

In the first battle of the water in that year, after Wu Qi read the battle report compiled by the Mo family himself, he once commented: There are no heroes at the time, which makes the concubine famous. If he was present, or if his grandson, soldiers, and even Le Yangzi and others were in the position of King Yue, even if they were defeated, they might not have such a big defeat.

But after all, there is nothing to do, and the current situation is that with the battle of the water and the aid of the most, the reputation of the Mo family's righteous master has been beaten, and it can already make Doctor Pingyin feel the huge pressure.

He asked who could fight, and no one of his men answered.

Or some people think that the Mojia Yishi is extremely dull in fighting, and the aid is almost the same as the battle of the water, almost the same flank assault forms an encirclement, and the infantry slowly advances, but even if you know the routine of the righteous division to fight, you also know that the flanks may be threatened, but you are still helpless when facing the enemy.

weakening the Chinese army and strengthening the two wings may be directly divided and defeated by a wave of piercing; Without strengthening the two wings, the righteous division relied on the cavalry to repeatedly succeed on the flanks, knowing that it might be done, but unable to defend it, which is the most terrifying thing.

It's like two people wrestling, one person punches, the beaten person thinks that this punch is too simple, I just need to go over and punch his fist to break the wrist without worry, but I know how to crack but can't stop it, this pressure has become a sword hanging in everyone's hearts.

No one could answer the question of who was the enemy this time, so the strategist said: "But the Mo family sent troops this time, and what they did was Fei Guo and Wucheng. He sought to capture the country of Fei, but deployed the main force in Jishui, which is probably a bit unwise. We retreated into A, Gu and other towns, Gongziwu and Tian Qingshang were in Wucheng, and Wucheng would be lost. ”

Doctor Pingyin now didn't know that the Mo family's ambition was to completely weaken the Qi State so that it would not be able to go south within twenty years, so he said: "Fei Yu Si Shang Mo family is just like a person's daughter." And the water is in Qi, it is the hands and feet of people. How can this be compared? Occupy Jishui and seek to exchange land, how can the king not change it? ”

"There is no need to talk about this matter again, just let the whole army retreat. And repaired the book to Tian Qing and Gongzi Wu, saying that the Mo family wanted to find an opportunity to fight in Jishui, and we would retreat to A, Gu and other places. Let people enter Chengyang again and inform the ...... of this"

The strategist said: "The army of Chengyang Han Wei does not dare to move lightly. If you ask for help, you still have to rely on the soldiers of Pingyin and Lixia. If it is not my race, its heart will be different, how can the Wei people be willing to help with all their might? ”

Doctor Pingyin snorted and said, "How can I ask for help from Wei? It's just that if Chengyang is lost, let Wei Hou know that there is a reason, and I will not save it if I see death. ”

He had already made up his mind that none of the people stood up and said that they could argue, as Cao Di defeated the Mo family righteous master like Cao Di defeated Qi Huan Guan Zhong back then, so he could only choose to retreat to Gu and Ah.

Doctor Pingyin ordered his cronies to go to Lu Country in the starry night and inform Tian Qing of the news of the Mo family's haunt in Jishui, thinking that in the future.

…………

North of Wenshui, south of Jishui Basin.

Forty thousand Mojia volunteers were marching, and scouts on horseback were constantly returning from afar, passing the news along the way to several carriages, and soon young people came to the side with all kinds of news to report back.

In ten days, the four divisions of the main force of the Mo family marched more than 300 miles, blocking the news along the way, and now according to the return of the scouts, it is only a short distance of more than 30 miles away from the Qi Pingyin Army.

On the side of the road, there are men and women constantly singing some military songs to encourage morale, and the morale of the people is high.

Now that the soldiers roughly knew what they were going to do, and with this confidence, the previous dissatisfaction caused by the concern for the innocence of the Lu State was swept away.

Along the way, there was no obstacle, and now actions such as dividing troops are really impossible to do compared to the military organization ability of Qi at this time, and the main force of the righteous division will be unimpeded along the way.

On a soil platform on the side of the road, Shi took a clairvoyant mirror to observe the terrain in the distance, looking at Wanli Maihuang, if the heart is not diverted to the Yellow River, the southwest of Lu is indeed a rich place, and the saying in the world is not wasted.

Like him, a few people on the side were already thinking about how to build river embankments and canals in the future after the world was unified, so that this vast plain could be flooded and drought-free.

Completely different from the tense atmosphere before the war on the Qi side, a few humanitarians: "In the future, if we can connect Wenshui and Jishui, such as Yedi canal irrigation, with the method of cultivating and composting with improved cattle, this place can support millions of people." ”

"It's a pity that Qi Hou is faint and doesn't have such a heart to benefit the world."

Shi put down the glass-polished clairvoyant mirror, nodded and said, "Therefore, since the princes have no intention of benefiting the world, they should replace them." This is great righteousness and great benevolence. Onozawa is supposed to be the richest place in the Central Plains, with fertile water and grass, and fertile land. It's a pity ......."

The entire southwestern Lu region, surrounding the vicinity of Dayozawa, is basically the battlefield of hegemony between the northern princes and the southern Chu state. The place where the Battle of Chengpu broke out was in Pushui, near Chengyang, where the State of Qi and the State of Chu also fought many decisive battles.

Rao is so, after a short period of peace after two armies, this place is once again full of life.

After sighing, several heralds arrived, walked to Shi and said, "The sappers have already selected the river beach that passes through Nanwen Water in front and set up a pontoon bridge there. ”

"The scouts reported that the Qi army seemed to be aware of our movements, did not continue to move forward, and seemed to be preparing to retreat."

The staff officer next to him unfolded the map and marked the approximate place of crossing the river, and it was not yet the summer rainy season, and it was a rare good weather.

Several officers and Shi looked around the map together, and Shi said: "As long as you cross the river, there are very few retreat routes that the Qi people can choose." ”

His finger dotted on the narrow strip between the North and South Wenshui and said, "Twenty miles wide and eighty miles long, within this range, find the opportunity to completely annihilate the Pingyin Army of the Qi State, and great things can be accomplished." ”

"The position of the Qi army is probably here ...... now"

After pointing for a while, he said: "In this way, send another five hundred foot knights to cross the river first, bypass the main force of the Qi army, and go straight to Ayi." ”

"Led by the division representatives, if the main force of the Qi people continues to move towards Ayi, they will be disturbed along the way, especially at night, they are not allowed to sleep well."

"If the Qi people turn to Guyi, these five hundred people will be near Ayi, where there is one of our strongholds, Yicang, and they will wait there."

"This is the last division of troops, and the decisive victory in the field is only a few days. If there are no more fighters, we will have to withdraw and attack Chengyang instead. ”

Everyone's faces were slightly solemn, knowing that if it was to attack Chengyang, it would really be the next choice.

Seeing that everyone was a little dignified, he smiled and said: "This is just the worst plan, there is a plain along the way, and the Pingyin army can't run." After we stuck to him, he couldn't run away, so what else could he do but choose to fight us? ”

"Forty thousand righteous teachers are around, and they dare to let go of the pace and march? Don't dare. Therefore, the key to winning or losing is the speed of our march. ”

"As I said just now, there are not many places where you can cross the river between the north and the south, and the Qi army is actually within a range of twenty miles wide and eighty miles long."

"We are twenty-five miles away from them, which means that they have to run eighty miles, and if we can run one hundred and five miles, we will win."

"Order, continue to speed up, complete the crossing before dark, and camp on the other side of the river."

"When crossing the river, the flags of all colors must be clearly distinguished, who crosses the river first, who crosses the river later, and how to organize the army when crossing the river, that is your business, and do not make any mistakes. Camp at night, pay attention to washing feet with hot water, and the ink men of each company must play the role of horse pioneers, and those who can help carry dry food, iron pots, gunpowder, and lead bullets must be done well. ”

How to cross the river and keep it from chaos is not something that a coach has to consider, and there are people around him who nod and arrange.

The 500-foot knights set off first, led by the representative of the first division, and after crossing the river, they bypassed the main force of the Qi army and penetrated directly into Ayi to let the Qi army change the direction of the march, or delay the marching speed of the main force of the Qi army.

Early in the morning of the second day, the righteous teachers who had already crossed the river let go of their hands and feet and marched to the northeast along the Nanjishui River, and there were constantly shouting slogans calling people to speed up.

The main force of the Mo family did not choose to chase diagonally, but chose to go north along the Nanji River and race against the Pingyin army of the Qi army.

The width between the north and south Wenshui is very short, and the news that the main forces of the Mo family crossed the river last night has already reached the Qi army.

This is also a kind of deterrent: retreating on flat ground may even be one step ahead of the main force of the Mo family. But if it is to cross the river, then with the current organizational ability of the Qi army, it may take a day to cross the river and build a bridge, and with the deterrence of the speed of the Mo family's righteous division crossing the river last night, it is impossible for the general of the Qi country to choose to cross the river and escape as long as he has a little brain.

Moreover, even if you cross the river, where can you run?

The north and south rivers of Jinshui began from Onozawa until Luyi, which was later near the Changqing District of Jinan, before converging again and finally flowing into the sea.

The north and south are like a natural line of defense, compressing the Qi army within this range. There are many Qi people among the ink scholars, who are quite familiar with this place, and the doctor Qin Yueren, who accompanied the expedition, is himself a native of Lucheng, and he is even more familiar with this place.
