The Great Sima of Chu knew the Mo family's propaganda and governing ability, so the time limit he gave for reinstatement was three years.

He believed that if the country could not be restored within three years, then it would be impossible for the state of Chu to be restored.

And if the Chu State cannot be restored, the Mo family will occupy Xuzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou, and it will not take a few years, and the princes will be powerless to resist, so they can only wait obediently to die.

Thinking of this, and then thinking of the news from the Mo family's attack on Chu this time, those policies towards the nobles made the great Sima of Chu State sure that the Mo family's thoughts were really so.

The army of the handsome man attacked quickly, and regarded the painstakingly built Yangxia fortress area as nothing, and the real soldiers came to Xianghe, and the nobles of the Chu State were closed and beaten all the dogs, so there was no need to restore the country.

Even the nobles are gone, how can they restore the country? How else to form an effective rule over the state of Chu? The Mo family's rule in Chu is much more stable.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and gritted his teeth and said: "The right thing to do, leaving no way back, this is a move to cut off the sacrifice and cut off the heir!" ”

He was preparing to retreat, but the direction of the retreat was not determined, and he didn't know what the Mo family wanted to do.

If you judge according to the current idea, then it is best not to think about joining forces to support Yangxia, Xu, and Yinyang, but how fast you can run, directly abandon Chen Cai's land, flee to Fangcheng and Luyang, strengthen the troops there, and continue to cry and beg Wei Han to send troops, so as to stick to South Korea to send troops.

The purpose of Chu Da Sima's garrison in Chen Zhinan was to prevent the Mo family from completely occupying the Yuzhou territory of Chu State.

This is not that he has the illusion that the Song State will continue to be neutral, but that he can only have illusions about the neutrality of the Song State.

If the Song State is not neutral, then the Chencai region will not be able to hold it at all.

Only by assuming the premise of the neutrality of the Song State, the Mo family insisted on their non-offensive and unrighteous morality, and could not send troops from the Song State, so they could only go out of Shouchun and Xia Cai along the Huaishui.

Then as long as there is a force in the sleeping ground, it can be defended for a period of time, and buy time for the feudal lords to recover from the panic, so as to elect a new king of Chu and reach an agreement.

After the Duke of Song renounced his rights, in essence, the Great Sima of Chu had another choice, returning to the north to Zhaoling, connecting with Chen Cai, and relying on the defense of the Yangxia region to resist.

Now that the defense of the Yangxia region is vulnerable, and he is worried that he will be cut off by the Mo family, he decided to retreat to Fangcheng immediately.

…………

East of Yangxia.

The migratory troops were capturing the third of the four fortresses, and the fortifications of the two fortresses were easy, and with the superiority of artillery and troops, the fortresses of the state of Chu did not play their due effect.

But this time he has quietly divided his troops.

On the one hand, they monitored the movements in the north, and on the other hand, they quickly bypassed Chen Di and approached the 40,000 soldiers in the hands of the great Sima of the Chu State.

This siege of the city recruited a large number of Song people's men to serve, and while transporting materials and logistics, he also deceived him in numbers by secretly mobilizing troops under siege.

He gathered 20,000 foot soldiers, 10,000 cavalry, and 3,000 combat engineers, and went around to the south of Yangxia a day earlier, where he stood still.

All the artillery was left in the original siege force, except for the small field guns that the divisions had to be used, and did not carry a large-caliber heavy bronze cannon that would slow down the march.

Once the army of the Great Sima of the State of Chu left the bed and began to retreat, these 30,000 elites had to take advantage of the advantage of speed, carry rations, and insert between Chen and Zhaoling to raid the 40,000 troops of the Great Sima of the State of Chu.

Once it is annihilated, it will go straight to Xianghe Pass, and before the Chu people have time to react, they will sneak attack and seize the pass.

Because now the feudal lords on the front line of Fangcheng in Chu State must be organizing the defense of the Six Fingers, that is, the defense in the direction of Wancheng.

The border passes of the Chu State are all guarded against the north, and not against the Nanyang region, so the feudal lords of the Chu State can only seize the time to rebuild the defense and collect troops.

Moreover, he estimated that the army of the Great Sima of the State of Chu did not need too many troops at all, 10,000 cavalry plus 10,000 infantry was enough, and even 10,000 elite cavalry was enough to complete.

While rushing to attack the Great Sima of the Chu State, if the scout would have a chance to return, he did not hesitate to directly let 10,000 foot soldiers plus combat sappers to sneak attack Xianghe.

Xianghe is only a hundred miles away from Wancheng, and once he succeeds, he can meet with Liuzhi.

is different from what Sima of Chu Guo thought, Shi has no intention of closing the door and beating dogs to wipe out the feudal monarch of Chu State, because it is impossible to hinder the ruling of Chu with or without feudal monarchs.

Different from the three years expected by Sima of Chu State, in fact, it will take a year at most for the Jianghan region of Chu State to start recruiting and stabilizing, and the number of iron seeds and cadres invested by the Mo family in the Jianghan region has been accumulated for a long time.

Once the land is divided, it is impossible to say that the state of Chu is crowned king, or the king of Chu himself ran over and said that the people should hand over the land.

Moreover, he was not at all interested in the idea conceived by the Great Sima of Chu to take over the defense of Chu.

If it is really according to what the great Sima of Chu thinks, from Danyang to Luyang to Xianghe, relying on the Great Wall of Chu to form an effective defense system, then I am afraid that there will be an additional 50,000 troops to support Nanyang, and he will not be able to change so much.

Everywhere is doubled, everywhere is little.

People are lost, and people and places are lost.

He still understands these two truths.

Therefore, from the beginning, he did not want to take over the Great Wall of Chu.

This time, his purpose was not to those feudal lords of Chu at all, but to open up the communication line with Nanyang, and lure Han to send troops to protect himself without waiting for the princes to assemble.

This is a mistake to pin hope on Korea, that is to say, opening up the Nanyang communication line and leaving part of the cavalry for the six fingers is the primary purpose; It was an unexpected surprise that South Korea sent troops to find an opportunity to annihilate South Korea's field army and force the alliance of princes to collapse directly before it was established.

If there is a dilemma in Nanyang in the future, the direction of the solution is not to support Nanyang, but to attack Daliang from Shangqiu to threaten Wei Han's heart.

It was the most foolish choice to expect to support the 50,000 fresh troops of the Nanyang Garrison Chu Army and completely take over the defense line of the Great Wall of Chu.

Logistics supply, terrain and people's hearts are not advantageous, if these 50,000 troops are in Sishang, they can do a major thing to capture Daliang and threaten Wei Han; But if it is placed in Nanyang, it will become a stupid division of troops to defend the war.

Once he captures Daliang and threatens South Korea, the crisis in Nanyang will be lifted, how can Han Wei sit back and watch his heart be attacked and send the army to help Chu restore the country?

Therefore, from the very beginning, the essence of the Mohist family's Xiangyang bifurcation strategy was to replace defense with offense, as long as Sishang was not lost, then it was equivalent to a thorn inserted between Wei, Han and Qi.

In order to achieve this goal, Gaoliu Yunzhong can be abandoned, Nanzheng can be abandoned, and even the iron-smelting craftsmen of Wancheng have begun to migrate south to Eyi.

Its purpose was to use the superiority of the navy to shrink the defense and use Xiangyang as a meat grinder to lure Wei Han Qin into marching into Xiangfan by virtue of the superiority of the water army.

Once the army marches into Xiangfan, the battle line is lengthened, and once there is a little movement on the eastern front, the alliance of the princes will collapse.

At that time, even if the Qin State can fight, it will be difficult to support it alone.

The so-called Nine Fortresses in the World, in fact, for the Mo family at this time, the only useful thing was the Jingruan Fortress Group.

It was a large fortress group built by the Chu State between Danshui and Hanshui, Ruan Zhe, Yuanye.

Because these fortresses are all round, after the Han Dynasty pipa was introduced to the Central Plains, the Han people gave the name "Ruan" when they saw the appearance of this pipa, because it looked very similar to the fortress of the Chu State.

This is a very important fortress area of the Mojia Xiangyang defense line, because it is in the upper reaches of Xiangfan, the Han River and Danshui are choked, and the logistics supply of the Qin State can only rely on Danshui.

If you want to fight Xiangfan, you must have Jing Ruan.

If you want to get Jing Ruan, you must have a naval army.

And the naval army of the Qin State ......

Therefore, it is actually completely different from what the Great Sima of Chu and his advisers think.

The defense of Mojia Chu should rely on Hanshui and Tongbai Mountain, not on Funiu Mountain and Chu Fortress.

The Nanyang Basin itself is to be abandoned.

The reason why it is appropriate to send troops is not to close the door and fight dogs, but to make a posture of threatening South Korea after the capture of Xianghe, forcing South Korea to send troops under the condition of insufficient preparation.

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

If you don't send troops, then leave some of the cavalry of the six fingers, and while the rest of the troops retreat, transfer some of the foot soldiers.

The two divisions in Shenxi went north to Pingyu to strengthen the defense of Pingyu and Chendi, and to cover the flanks for the future decisive battle on the Eastern Front.

He has no interest in the feudal monarchs of the Chu State, or the feudal monarchs of the Chu State have not yet understood that the ruling of Sishang relies on the bureaucratic system rather than the blood aristocracy, and whether or not all those feudal monarchs are captured has no effect.
