Chapter 151: Politics and the Army

The guards carried away the man's body, and the commander of the first division shook his head and said, "That's a gentleman." As you said, the righteousness that is adhered to is wrong, and the more righteousness is kept, the more reactionary it becomes. It is the old son Mozi who wants to be the same and the same, and the world needs a rule that is really beneficial to the world and evaluates right and wrong. ”

"We cannot let their righteousness become the righteousness of the world."

The commander of the first division thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Today, I only understand what you said twenty years ago, wearing a sunflower crown on your head, facing those people. ”

"On that day you held the sunflower in your hand and said, 'All things are void, and all things are allowed.'"

"The world has been suffering from courtesy, morality, and affection for too long. These are all false, and they are all thin veils to hide interests. ”

"All things are allowed, and those things that were not allowed by virtue and propriety were allowed. For example, asking for equality among people, such as rebelling against one's own lord. ”

"If it is not broken, it will not stand, and the extremes of things will be reversed. Only when everything is allowed can we finally choose what is not allowed to be beneficial to everyone. ”

"Our Mo family is not immoral, ruthless, and rude. It's just that our morality, affection, and courtesy are immoral, ruthless, and rude in the eyes of others. ”

Shi smiled and said: "This kind of truth is why we dare to use the four words Tang Wu Revolution." Chu annihilated Zhuji and Jin swallowed small countries, even if they set the world into one one day, as long as the system does not change and morality does not change, it is just an unjust war, where can it be called a revolution in the mandate of heaven? ”

"As you say, this is a gentleman. It's not a bad thing to die well. ”

"Seeing his master today, this nobleman of the Qi country doesn't care about the etiquette at all, and he can't bear it anymore. When I see tomorrow that all farmers and industrialists are equal, and there is no difference between high and low, it will be even more painful. I kind of understand why Gongsun Ze chose to die that day, and he was also afraid to see today's scene. ”

In this day and age, people around you will not be surprised to understand why that person died, just like if you see two braver people cutting each other's flesh and eating each other on the street, although it is rare to see, once you see it, you will understand it for granted.

Today's victory is like a hammer that has smashed that person's faith to pieces, how can a group of ordinary people who seek profit and do not know their kindness be afraid of death?

Doctor Pingyin's actions of using chopsticks to pick meat instead of forking meat, eating without cooking, eating without proper cutting, eating without sauce, and eating wheat and horses in Mengxia were only the last things that crushed the man's faith.

Aristocrats should have aristocratic etiquette, which is part of the world's return to great governance, and it is also the last bottom line that those who have faith hope for, or for which they fight.

Love, morality, courtesy and the feudal system are inseparable and maintain the foundation of the world.

Complement each other, not alone.

Although I understand, I don't have too much emotion.

He walked up to the taxi who committed suicide, knowing that the person couldn't answer, but he still sighed and asked, "Uncle Zheng shot the Son of Heaven too early, you didn't catch up." But the Tian clan has been in Qi and the three families for a few years, they have broken the rules of the world, you don't martyrdom, and you don't feel like you are going to die in the world. How can the peasants and businessmen stand up and know to seek their own interests, and why are they going to perish in your eyes? ”

With a long sigh, it is appropriate to understand that the actions of the Mo family after this battle are no longer as simple as fighting for hegemony in the world, but more like a holy war between the new and old systems in the world.

I think about it, I finally have some revolutionary flavor, otherwise what is the difference between being the son of heaven and the strong man who is strong?

His exclamation was to sigh to the ink man next to him, and such a heroic man who served Mozi early saw a lot, and he was used to it, and after a little sigh, he didn't take it very seriously, but held back a smile in his heart.

They thought of the really fragrant joke they had told before, and they never thought that Dr. Pingyin didn't even survive a day, and he didn't have that kind of fierce words, so he didn't have a lot of taste after all.

Shi waved his hand to let those who were holding back a smile get out, and he brought a few people to the camp of the dying wounded soldiers, looked at the Qin Yue people who were busy and said hello, asked a few words about the treatment, and then turned to look at the six fingers who were a little injured in the final counterattack.

In the end, the six-fingered side resisted the counterattack of nearly four times the Qi army, skillfully used the formation and artillery, and survived to the end.

Most of the casualties of the entire Mojia Yi Division in the Battle of Nanjishui were from the division of the Six Fingers, and in the end, the Six Fingers were also shot through the arm by crossbow arrows, but fortunately, there was no big problem.

Shi didn't say much, just patted the shoulder of the six fingers and said, "Your teacher has done an excellent job." Be the first to take the lead. ”

Six Fingers knew that it was very cautious to praise others, and he was extremely happy to use a pole word, but he still sighed and said: "The loss in the division is not small, and it still needs to be repaired, but I am afraid that we will not be able to participate in the battle of Pingyin." And there are tens of thousands of Qi prisoners, who always need to be guarded. ”

Shi smiled: "That's what I mean." ”

He waved his hand to call some people who were not of sufficient rank to leave, leaving only the senior officers of the Third Division and the guards around him, and asked: "Now in the battle of Nanjishui, our army has won a complete victory. I'm going to test you, but if you're handsome, what should you do? ”

Six Fingers had already thought about this question, and as soon as he asked, he said, "Take Pingyin first." As soon as Pingyin was obtained, the Great Wall of Qi was broken, and there was no danger to defend before Linzi. ”

"Tian Qing and Tian Wu must return to the army. If you can follow the example of the battle of Jinxiang Gongkun Mountain ambush Baili Xi, that is the best. ”

"It's just that when Baili Xishuai's army attacked Zheng, he didn't know that the Jin people would sneak attack, so the whole army was defenseless."

"Now if our army takes Pingyin, Tian Qing will definitely return to the division. But in the first battle of Nanjishui, our army's minions and teeth were exposed, and the teeth and claws shook the world, and Tian Qing would definitely be cautious. You told me a story about an ancient general who reduced the stove to lure the enemy, but this strategy could not have worked on Tian Qing. ”

"In the first battle of Nanjishui, the 60,000 Qi army was annihilated, Tian Qing would never think that our army would not dare to fight. I think about it, there are many key supports, and if they are not considered, our army will be greatly disadvantaged. ”

"Linzi City is big and wide, and it is the place of Qi foundation, since Taigong Wangfeng Fengying Hill has gone through hundreds of years, in case it can't be attacked, it is a taboo for soldiers: Tun army is under the strong city."

"I know you definitely won't take Linzi directly before you get rid of Tian Qing, but Tian Qing ......"

He looked up at Shi who was smiling and groaning, and continued with Shi Shi's encouraging gaze: "If Tian Qing is a mediocre talent, then it is possible to reproduce the battle of Kun, so there is no need to think so much. ”

"But if he is not a mediocre talent, then he will definitely think that Linzi City is the foundation, and our army may not be able to go down in one go. Then he will not be so impatient, and he will not be so rash that he will be ambushed by us, but will march normally, which will make us dare not attack Linzi. ”

"First, he felt that the parents and brothers of the Linzi Army were in Linzi, and the military spirit was combative. Second, if he wants to cut us off, we will be in a hurry first. ”

"I'm worried that if Tian Qing Tianwu is not a mediocre talent, they will understand that it is a risk for us to capture Linzi. When the time comes, he will march slowly, pressing us to confront him for a long time, and the initiative will be in the hands of Qi people. ”

"We want a quick victory, and we must win a big victory before Wei, Zhao, Chu, and Zhongshan are over. If Tian Qing returns to the division and is stationed in Wenshui, what should we do? ”

"Even if the Marquis of Qi is urgent, but in case he is not a mediocre talent, he will not accept the orders of the monarch outside, and he will be stationed in Wenshui. Could it be that we are still really going to attack Linzi? ”

"Then we don't dare to attack, the logistics are poor, the long-distance march, may not break the city with one drum, we don't dare to take risks."

"And if he soldiers Wenshui, we really don't dare to move, we go to Linzi, he dares to cross Wenshui to cut off Jishui and our back road."

When the time comes, he will change from passive to active, and then force us to beat him, or directly choose to make peace. On the Gongzaoye side plus the soldiers of the Fei State, there was more than enough to defend but not enough to attack, and Sishang was not fully mobilized, this battle ...... It has to be like a way to change from passive to proactive. ”

"If he is a mediocre talent, then there is no need to say anything, pretending to attack Linzi and ambushing him on his road after all, this is a big victory with the least loss."

"Even if you don't fight so much, there are a thousand ways to deal with mediocrity. You don't have to think about that. ”

"So, the key to thinking about is how to force him to attack if he is not a mediocre talent?"

Shi nodded, the six fingers said very well, basically similar to what he thought, being able to think of passive and active transformation, this is the key point that comes to mind.

He half-jokingly said: "The key to the problem is not to come up with the problem, but to solve the problem." What are your thoughts? ”

Six Fingers was silent for a moment and said, "This is not something that can be arranged by the head of a division. ”

Shi waved his hand and said: "I said, I made you handsome." ”

Six Fingers smiled: "I'm afraid that if you are only the boss, you will not be able to arrange, this requires the Seven Enlightenment and the Giant to decide." ”

"First, quickly make peace with the Wei State, take advantage of the power of the battle of Nanjishui, and pass on the Wei people, Wei Hou fought in Zhao, Zhongshan, Chu, and Chen Cai, and he will not dare to continue to fight with us. The wording is harsh, and he is very prepared to make peace with Qi and take the attitude of Chengyang. ”

"Pingyin, the Wei people don't know what we are going to do next, but we say that we want to make peace with the Qi people, they must believe it, because the initiative of peace is already in our hands, we have to believe it when we say that we want to make peace with him, and we have to think about what to do if we turn to attack Chengyang. After all, Chengyang's location is dangerous, and it is on the side of Taoqiu, so the Wei people dare not lose. ”

"Second, General Qu is in Gaoliu, which is a strong army. Now that the Wei people are besieging Handan, the Zhao people are panicking, and the Wei people are also sad, but they are afraid that now the Wei people choose to make peace with Zhao. If Qu Jiangzi can fully participate in the affairs of Zhao Di, win three battles in a row, and help clean up the aristocratic rebels of the Gongzi Dynasty, Zhao Hou will be confident and will definitely be unwilling to make peace at that time. He saw the victory, if the Wei people would choose to take the initiative to make peace and just retreat, Zhao Hou would not accept it. ”

"The dispute between Chu and Wei cannot be divided for the time being, Chen Cai's land and Chu must be taken, and the government decree must be reorganized, but the Chu people are unable to participate. As long as the Wei people are difficult to get out, then we will have more time to deal with the Qi people, and the more opportunities we will have, and we will not need to win quickly. ”

Speaking of this, Six Fingers already had a smile on Shi's face and encouraged, "And then?" ”

Six fingers said: "You said that the military is a continuation of politics. Then, if there is no way to get the initiative militarily, then it can be obtained politically. ”

"Now that the Yue people are about to retreat south, the reason why we take this opportunity to fight against the Qi people is to take this opportunity to weaken the Qi Hou and make him unable to interfere with our expansion in the East China Sea and Si. It's politics. ”

"You said that this battle will not take the land of the Marquis of Qi. One is that this is a righteous war, so that the princes of the world will feel that we are fighting for righteousness, and will not panic because of the military power displayed in the first war. Second, there is a shortage of cadres now, and it will take time to integrate the vast areas after the Vietnamese retreat to the south, as well as the integrated Sishangfei and Xue places. ”

However, Qi people don't know. They don't have a different system than we do, and they don't take into account what we think. ”

"Then, we have to use politics to force Tian Qing to attack instead of defending there."

It is the key point, and the six fingers said solemnly: "After breaking Pingyin, the land reform was carried out with great fanfare, and the land was broken, the well fields were opened, the land coupons were issued, the public fields of the people were divided and the fields of the nobles who fled were sealed, and the posture of settling down in Jishui was made." This will hurt the foundation of the Qi people, and the Qi people know our ability to govern, once we stay, Jishui may be completely inked within a year, and they will have to take the initiative to attack. ”

"These captured Qi soldiers are all farmers in the Pingyin, Gu, and A areas. I don't think we should take them back to Sishang, but let them go back to their homes after breaking through Pingyin. After the land reform, it is possible to absorb some Qi people who have no wives and parents at home to join the righteous teachers. One can expand our strength, the other is to make Tian Qing panic, if he delays with us, I am afraid that Jishui will pull up two or three more divisions in a year, and our ability to defend the city is known to the world, and the ability to govern is obvious to all, as long as we do not attack Linzi, but pretend to occupy it for a long time, then what Tian Qing can rely on is gone, and he can only choose to take the initiative to fight us. ”

"As soon as he moves, the initiative is ours. Is defending the city tired of him and then field fighting? Or put pressure on the country of Lu not to sell grain and borrow grain, so as to cut off the grain route? Or lure the enemy deep and ambush them? Or wait for the civil unrest? It's up to us. ”

"Otherwise, if we attack Linzi, in case Tian Qing is wise, he does not rush forward, but garrisons and rivers, and we have to think about a quick victory, then we have to attack. Although it can be won, the casualties will be heavy. ”

"Moreover, anyway, you didn't say that Qi land would not be taken, but it was still land reform, and when the time came, it would also allow the Qi people to understand the righteousness of the Mo family and the benefits to them, and they would be able to know the warmth of the sun and the cold of the darkness."

"It's all about killing multiple birds with one stone."
