After the banquet, a contract was signed, which could be regarded as an explanation to the representatives of the people.

According to the morality of the Mo family, there is no obligation to treat the royal family well, and there is no ritual of three sacrifices, so it is impossible to spend money to raise these wastes.

After all, the king of Chu surrendered in desperation, and he did not take the initiative to comply with the will of heaven as soon as the Sishang army arrived, and the difference between this is self-evident.

This money is nothing more than an emigration, but it is the nobles rather than the common people, and it is also so that the growing maritime trade can stop at some ports in the future to replenish supplies.

Early the next morning, Pengcheng held a high-level meeting.

After this incident, there is no room for compromise with the princes and nobles of all countries. Depriving them of their fiefs and feudal rights and sending them overseas to open up again, this is an enmity for them. ”

"This battle will definitely continue, we have already made the worst plan, and we have always considered the worst plan, anticipating the enemy to be lenient. But now it seems that the situation is still very favorable to us. Six Fingers handled very well in Jianghan, a big victory. ”

Shi did not shy away from the possibility of self-denial and compromise with the nobles by doing this, nor did he shy away from saying that the future situation would be extremely cruel.

But the dough has been torn off, so there is no need to talk about it so much.

"The Marquis of Qi sent someone to probe our bottom, but he told us one thing, that is, the Qi country is still indecisive. Is it to take the opportunity to divide the Wei State to the water? Or fight to the death and fight with my Mo family? ”

"In my opinion, it doesn't make much sense."

At his suggestion, the people from the staff came to the front and unfolded a geographical map of mountains and rivers, which roughly marked the mountains, rivers and cities, which was the most primitive longitude and triangulation method measured by the Mohists over the years, and should be the most accurate map at this time.

"The General Staff is expected to be lenient to the enemy, and we will consider the worst plan." In order to unite the princes under the call of Zhou Tianzi, all of them have no self-interest and benefit others, and there is no intrigue, and the situation of killing us wholeheartedly is considered. ”

The staff explained the worst-case scenario in front of everyone.

According to the expectations of the General Staff, if the countries want to fight a decisive battle, it will be at least half a year later.

Here's the situation.

Jianghan has been gained, and the troops have arrived in Nanyang, basically controlling the southern foot of Funiu Mountain.

In the middle line, the Mojia maintained the first line of the Huai River, and after meeting with Nanzheng, Nanhai and Xu Weak on the Liuzhi side, they withdrew the strength of three divisions and captured Shen, Xi and other places, so that the entire Huai River defense line has been formed.

The people from the staff pointed to the cities on the map that were still under the control of the feudal monarch of the Chu State and said: "If it takes half a year for the princes to send troops, then in this half a year, our top priority is to gather troops, fight another big battle, and capture ......."

The maps are marked with some cities of the Chu State, that is, some important cities north of the Huai River.

Including many cities such as Bed, Juyang, Shangcai, Xianghe, etc., that is, the line from Fuyang to Zhumadian in later generations.

"Once these cities are captured, one can stabilize the defense of the Huai River, and the other can connect Huaishui and Nanyang, bypass Dabie Mountain and Tongbai Mountain, and hook up Nanyang."

"Third, once the princes' coalition forces attack in the future, this is the middle line, which can both support and threaten the flanks of the princes' coalition forces."

"We need to capture Bed, Shangcai, and meet with our army in Chu at Xianghe Pass within three months. In order to connect the eastern and western battlefields in attack before the alliance of princes sent troops. ”

Everyone's eyes stayed on a Chu city called Xianghe for a moment, and they all nodded.

If it is only for defense, now the east and west lines have been connected as one, it can be said that the Qinling, Xiangfan, Tongbai Mountain, and Huaihe line belong to the classic north-south confrontation and defense system.

This is a relatively conservative plan, but now it seems that we should take the initiative a little more, then we must obtain the line from Fuyang to Zhumadian, so as to be able to make the east and west system in the strategic offensive.

This battle must be fought, and it must be fought as soon as possible, so that a battle can be formed in which each other is supported rather than fought in isolation.

Xiangheyi is located at the key point of the Great Wall of Zhumadian of Chu State, and is the key point of attack from north to south.

enter the great cities that can threaten important feudal lords such as Fangcheng and Yexian of the Chu State; Retreat can make it impossible for the coalition forces of the northern princes to directly cross Funiu Mountain and Yu Nanyang.

It is bordered by Nanyang in the west and Songdi in the east.

In the worst-case scenario, half a year later, Qin might attack Danyang from the direction of Shangyu.

The remaining Wei army, together with the Han army and the army of the Son of Heaven of Zhou Tianzi, marched out of Luyang, united with the remaining forces of the local Chu feudal monarch, captured Luyang Lushan, entered Fangcheng and Yecheng to the east, attacked Xianghe, and threatened Wancheng Nanyang from the side.

The South Korean army may also send an elite army to cross Funiu Mountain and go straight to Nanyang.

In the case of the middle line, the Han army and the Zhao army, as well as the remnants of the Chu state of Zheng Di, were used to maintain the middle line, forcing the middle line army of the Mo family to not be able to rescue Nanyang or support Sishang.

Although the middle line is not attacked, it can be held and threatened, as long as it does not take the initiative to attack, the army on the front line of the Mo family can only choose to confront and attack the city.

In Hetao, Gaoliu and other places in the north, the worst plan is for Zhao to contact Yan State, Donghu, Lin Hu, Lou Fu and other Yidi, besiege them on all sides, and Zhao State can draw troops to the south. This kind of thing is definitely done by the princes, leading the soldiers of Yidi to attack the enemy, which is not a shameful thing for the princes, there are not so many nobles who really believe in the righteousness of Yixia.

In the land of Nanzheng, we must beware of the siege of Ba, Shu and Qin, and Nanzheng must be defended.

On the side of the Yue country, the Yue country is not able to attack northward at all, and there is no water division, even if it crosses the river, once the supply logistics are cut off, the current combat effectiveness of the Yue country, the local army corps is enough to resist, and the threat of the Yue country can not be considered.

The eastern front should be the most critical, and the Qi State must raise troops to the east, cooperate with the main forces of Han and Zhao, and march along the Danshui and Suishui directions through the direction of the Song State.

If the main forces are not combined, all countries will not dare to move lightly; And if the army is combined, the Qi State must be prepared for the Mo family to attack the hinterland again.

In this way, the military strength of each country is actually limited, and it is impossible to concentrate them all.

It's not just a matter of logistics, it's impossible for the Qin State to concentrate all its forces near Daliang; It was also impossible for the Qi State to go on an expedition to concentrate its forces south of Luoyang.

In this way, the number of troops can be calculated.

There were 20,000 troops in the Nanzheng area, and the topography, coupled with the fact that Bashu was too far behind the Central Plains, could not form an effective threat.

The Qin army may march from the direction of Wudu, but because of the logistical road factors, the number of troops will not be too many, and Nanzheng is enough to hold it.

In the direction of Danyang, the Qin army had a field strength of up to 70,000.

If it attacks after half a year, even if the Six Fingers release Nanzheng's army to Nanzheng, the available field forces in their hands still have part of the army in the South China Sea, plus a part of the new army of the Chu people, there are still at least 70,000 soldiers who can fight.

If you can effectively mobilize the enemy army and eat the South Korean forces bypassing Funiu Mountain while holding Danyang, then there is no need to even retreat to Xiangfan.

If the armies of Qi, Han, Zhou, and Wei advanced at the same time, neither advancing nor lagging behind, they would be able to retreat to Xiangfan within a range of hundreds of miles, and resist with the help of the superiority of the naval army and the continuous flow of new troops in the Jianghan region.

In the middle line, the Mo family only needs about 20,000 troops to contain Wei Hanchu as a countermeasure and threat to the middle line army.

On the eastern front, under the extreme circumstance that the Qi State could defend the old rules at the expense of defending the last Qi man in the direction of Daliang, it might concentrate 60,000 to 70,000 field troops in the direction of Daliang.

Coupled with Han Zhao's army, at most 1230,000, if this part of the army marched together, the Mo family could also mobilize 1230,000 troops in Sishang for a decisive battle, including several divisions of the Song State.

When the time comes, in the way of abandoning Shangqiu and retreating and migrating the people to clear the wall, as long as you seize the opportunity to break one of them, you can break them all.

Even if the final decisive battle is carried out in the most extreme situation, the Mo family is not afraid, and after retreating to the front line of Pengcheng Peiyi, they can use the local terrain advantage and the advantage of troops fighting on the inner line, which is enough to break through.

And before that, once it was discovered that the Qi army had begun to move westward, it could directly declare war on Qi, use cavalry and elite troops to quickly maneuver to the Jishui area, and annihilate the main force of Qi before the Qi army and the Wei, Han, and Zhao armies would meet.

Even if there is no such opportunity, the combat effectiveness of the all-round mobilization of the decisive battle in Sishang is not at all what the princes can imagine. What people have not experienced cannot imagine.

The worst and worst possibility, Nan Zheng is lost; Gaoliu Hetao and other northern border passes were slaughtered by Zhao and Yan in collusion with Donghulin and Hu Lou, and that's it.

It is nothing more than the western front guarding the line of Xiangyang, Tongbai Mountain, and Huai River.

After talking about the worst possibility, he said casually: "That's why I said that Qi Hou's envoy this time is actually meaningless. ”

"We have an absolute advantage on the eastern front, and the Qi State does not dare to attack Sishang alone, because he can only go in three directions."

"Jucheng, Langya, and the East China Sea are on the front line, and they are deep in our realm, and they are alone in order to find death."

"As in the past, the changes of the Fei country, through the Lu country into Sishang, and the eastern line is not much different."

"And from the Yuncheng and Heze areas, after the cities that we have been operating for nearly 30 years, this ...... Even if he has 100,000 troops, it is still difficult, fortress against fortress, we have more artillery and guns, more people and more food, this is the most stupid line. ”

"So the idea of Qi is meaningless to us, and we have already raised the banner against the old system, so don't compromise anymore, otherwise it will be difficult for the Xuanyi Department to turn, and the people will wonder what to do."

"If the princes unite in half a year, we will defend in the west and attack in the east, as long as we break the coalition of princes in the east, we will directly destroy Qi, and Qi is our next plan."

The buzz sounded, and they discussed for a while, but they felt that it was not difficult to realize this seemingly extremely bold idea, it was difficult to imagine if they wanted to destroy a big country before, but now it is completely different, once the alliance of the princes on the eastern front is defeated, the Mo family is sure to break through the Qi State and drink the Yellow River in a short time.

In terms of internal political considerations, the economies of Qi and Sishang are inseparable, the currency is almost unified, the market is almost unified, the mass base in the southwest of Qi is very good, and the contradiction between the nobles and fiefdom farmers of Qi in the eastern and central regions is very great, and the greater the contradiction, the easier it is for the Mo family to stabilize - in the case of not using the old aristocracy, there is no pressure on the land reform at all - the basic plate of Sishang is not the aristocracy of Qi State, and it is completely unhindered to change the lives of others.
