The Mo family now has more than 45,000 people on the western front, all of them elite, and it is not impossible to have the opportunity to seize the fighter plane along the Jishui coast and persuade the main force of the western line cities of the Qi State led by Doctor Pingyin.

In particular, there is still half a division of cavalry, as long as they can seize the fighters, they can fight a battle of annihilation.

The idea of six fingers, compared with the strategy of besieging the Chengyang urn to catch turtles, is somewhat risky, but the benefits are also the largest.

With Heshui and Jishui as supplies, plus the Yicang that was built in the name of benefiting the world, this time difference is not impossible to grasp.

Shi was pacing on the ground with his head behind his back and his hands, and the rest of the people were also frowning, knowing that the decision of this matter was of great significance, and they didn't want to disturb Shi.

After thinking for a while, he called a herald and said: "Go to Pengcheng quickly, and ask someone to pass the news from Chu Wei, Zhongshan, and Zhao Wei on a fast horse at any time." If possible, I hope that Juzi and Zhu Wuxiao can consider that the news from Zhao and Zhongshan will be transmitted here first. ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they knew that Shi was quite fond of the idea of annihilating the main force of the Western Front of Qi led by Doctor Pingyin in Jishui.

Shi stopped pacing, watching everyone staring at him, and someone asked: "So, it seems that you are going to find an opportunity to fight a decisive battle in Jishui to completely annihilate the Qi army led by Doctor Pingyin?" ”

Shixiao asked, "Why, my thoughts are so easy to see?" ”

A few people nodded and said, "Commanding in battle, that's what you're good at." Since you ask Wei Chu, Zhao Wei, and Zhongshan about the news, it is obvious. ”

"As long as Wei determines that it is unable to increase its troops, then the plan of the Six Fingers is feasible."

Shi hummed, paced to the map again, and said: "As long as the Wei State is trapped on all sides, the Wei and Han coalition forces on the Chengyang side don't have to care at all, and it is best to let them stop fighting without fighting them." ”

His finger pointed at Cheng Yang, moved to Dayozawa, and then moved along Jishui in the direction of Qi State: "Jishui is now in the dry season, the river is not an obstacle, and the speed of our march is definitely faster than that of the Qi army." ”

"A hundred miles! Within a hundred miles, it is enough for us to maneuver and find an opportunity. These nearby Qi cities, the city defense was considered strong twenty years ago. At that time, all you need to do is guard against ladders, crypts, and the like."

"Now, it's as crisp as straw."

"Now that such a battle has been determined, the most important thing in this battle is the march. The speed of our march is fast enough, and we can travel three miles faster than the Qi country every day, and this battle can be regarded as the first victory by three points; If you can be as fast as five miles a day, that's half the victory. ”

"When the time comes, the troops will treat the march as if it were a decisive battle. The representatives of the ink scholars of various ministries must be pioneers of horses, and some truths must be explained clearly. ”

"Once you are within a hundred miles, make it clear to the soldiers and tell them why they are walking so fast. At that time, even if it is clear, even if the people of Qi know about it, then they can only watch and be surrounded and blocked by us. ”

Everyone present made it clear, and a few more people said something else.

The rest is waiting.

Now that the army is stationed in Teng, the Qi State will not be unaware.

Tengdi can quickly support Wucheng, or he can turn to the north to attack Chengyang, before the Qi State is in place, his side cannot move, and he can only act after the Qi people are in full swing.

The main forces of Qi this time are in two directions, according to inference and investigation, the maximum number of soldiers in each direction is seventy or eighty thousand, and if there are more, it will be a logistical disaster, and Qi will not be able to support it.

If the people of Qi really gathered the main force in one place, and slowly advanced in a group to learn from the turtle, they would not have the courage to come to Qi State: the previous two battles between the Mo family and the Qi State and the Yue Kingdom have proved that the Mo family has the ability to jump to the outside line to cut off logistics and attack cities to cut off supplies, and ten years ago it has buried the strategy that Qi can choose in today's war.

…………

Qi country, Boyang Yi.

The army assembled from Linzi is here, which is located in the north of Wenshui, only a few dozen miles away from Mount Tai.

When Confucius passed here, he lamented that the harsh government was fiercer than the tiger because of the misery of the woman.

Mount Tai, thirty or forty miles north of Boyang, is of great significance to both Confucianism and Moxi.

Confucius once climbed Mount Tai and sighed at the small world; Zi Mozi and its mourning birds are slippery, and they are in charge of the wine blocks, and they are placed in Mount Tai and sit on it.

Today's Mount Tai is no longer a paradise where Confucius can escape the harsh government, although there are still tigers out of the city, but the population is increasing, here was taken away by the Qi State from the Lu State, and has begun to govern.

The policy of Qi is divided into internal and external.

In the old land of Qi, farmers only had to pay one-twentieth of the tax, but they were required to undertake military service.

On the land occupied by the Qi State, the peasants needed to pay one-fifth of the tax, and basically they did not need to bear military service, but they still needed to bear a certain amount of labor and transportation service with the army.

This place is not only along the Wenshui coast, but also at the foot of Mount Tai, and the population is also regarded as a large number of 10,000 households.

Recently, the army of Linzi has gathered here, which makes it crowded.

Vendors of all stripes came and went to the vicinity of the army, selling their goods.

There are still military paradises and camp prostitutes in the army of Qi State, which were left by Guan Zhong back then, so Liuying's business here is not very good, but gadgets such as various foods, accessories, and cloths are sold well.

Several nearby towns had to send out the people to transport grain, and they were full, and the grain of the treasury of the surrounding cities and towns was gathered here.

The crowd was loud and chaotic.

At a vendor's market near the army camp, several vendors were selling some crude food and alcohol.

Some people use the double-wheeled carriages and ox carts that have been handed down from Sishang.

Some people use the wheelbarrow ink cart that has been handed down from Sishang, which carries all the hopes of making a fortune or supporting their families.

On an ox cart, there is some food and wine, and the old cow is tied to the back, and behind the cow's butt is a dirty cloth, which is used to pick up cow dung, which can be sold for money, even if it is such a small money, it seems that the owner of this ox cart does not want to waste it.

Most of the vendors were like this, and occasionally there were some vendors selling expensive items such as glass and mirrors in Sishang, usually in horse-drawn carriages, and most of the people who did business were scholars or minor nobles.

The owner of this ox cart seems to be a husband and wife, and the woman is wearing a cotton jacket, which is also popular at the bottom of the spring after the appearance of cotton.

The face was frozen red, the only thing missing was the chapped and red sun on the faces of the merchant women, but the face was covered with dust, and ordinary people couldn't see any difference.

The man's rough hands and feet, this is a long way to go, especially the shoulders are low and the other is high, probably because before he can't afford to buy an ox cart, he relies on his shoulders to carry the goods as a merchant - since the appearance of strange handicrafts in Sishang, the profession of a merchant has also become a new scenery in the city.

Several Qi soldiers walked to the vicinity of the ox cart, threw out a few knife coins and said, "Come on some sweet potato wine, and another pound of peanuts." ”

This looks like an ordinary soldier, but mortals and petty nobles do not come to such merchants.

The merchant took the money, and the woman scooped some wine with a wooden bucket in the back, and took out a jar from the box on the ox cart, and poured out some fried peanuts from it, and poured a small dish of soy sauce, and took out a few chili peppers and put them next to the small dish of soy sauce.

It all feels like that.

When the wine was delivered, a Qi pawn picked up a chili pepper and dipped it in a small soy sauce dish and put it in his mouth to chew, took a sip of the wine while it was spicy, and praised: "It tastes good." ”

The merchant seemed pleased with the compliment, and shouted at the woman, "Give them half a spoonful...... It's so cold on this day, and it's not easy to go on an expedition. ”

Several Qi soldiers thanked them again and again, and the soldier who drank the wine said, "Yes, it's not easy." You have a life, but what can you do? ”

The merchant handed over half a spoonful of wine and asked, "Now I have to go to Feidi, but I am afraid that there will be another big war!" ”

The soldier smiled and said, "There will be a big war, so don't be afraid." may have to fight with the Mo family, but the Mo family is not another family. ”

"When my father went out to conquer Xiaqiu, his head was cut off after the defeat, and he was built into a Jingguan by the Jin people."

"But before I went on the expedition, I was captured by the Mo family, but I ate and drank. They are all peasants, so why fight? If you are captured by them, you will not be beheaded to be a Jingguan, and you will not be captured as a slave, but it is nothing. ”

At this time, there were some people in the army all around, and it was inconvenient for the soldier to say anything, so he talked about some old things with his fellow villagers, just drinking.

The merchant only said that, and did not inquire more, and after a short time someone came and went to entertain him.

For about half a month, the army in the direction of Linzi of Qi gathered here, and began to advance from the camp.

The speed of the march was not fast, it could be said that it was very slow, because these traders could actually keep up, and they would follow the vicinity of the Qi army every evening, peddling all kinds of goods.

In the evening, the merchant wrote some words near the ox cart by means of a dim oil lamp.

"The Qi army from the direction of Linzi gathered, the number was about 65,000 to 70,000, and the daily march was only about 20 miles."

"There are about 1,000 chariots, chariots, and chariots."

"There were thirty bronze cannons. There were about 5,000 musketeers, 20,000 crossbowmen, and 1,000 knights. ”

"On the third day of the fourth month of the year, I passed Wenshui Yangguan."

"Most of the pawns have no fighting spirit, and those Qi prisoners released in the battle of the most important battle back then talk more about the righteousness of the Mo family's non-attack, and there are a lot of grievances in the army, or some people are dissatisfied with the expedition, thinking that this is the king's selfish interests, and they should not die for it."

"There are many people who want to make meritorious contributions and seek wealth and wealth, and they want to take advantage of this battle to become doctors."

"On the eighth day of the first month, I camped in the north of Liang's father, and it seems that it is still facing south."
