Chapter 119: Blue Out of Blue

Shi also looks forward to this is his last expedition, there are too many battles to face in the future, and the Mo family needs to train more generals who can command tens of thousands of people to fight, which needs to be practiced.

Fortunately, time is still on the side of the Mo family.

For example, the military education received by the nobles today is actually behind the times, and the general outline of the main attack side of the three armies may not have changed, but the specific coordination of artillery, cavalry, and foot is not something that those nobles who have learned chariot warfare since childhood can control.

In fact, there is another meaning to the entrustment of the bird.

Bird Slippery is already old, and will soon step down from the position of giant.

Nowadays, you need to be on the front line, and if you are a little farther away, you will not be able to detect the loopholes on the opposite side and seize the fighters.

Coupled with the advent of gunpowder cannons and backward technology, the iron ball ghost knows where it will fly.

If the formation comes forward, once it is killed, then the loss to the Mo family is really unbearable.

Moreover, after the first battle of the battle of Lushui, which captured the king of Yue and directly disintegrated the hegemony of the Yue Kingdom in Sishang, in fact, the Mo family hoped that Shi Neng would not personally command without personal command, which has become a vague trust, and the confidence brought by this trust can easily be shattered by the defeat of a major war.

Shi is full of confidence in this counterattack against the intervention of the Qi State, and the current Mo Family Yishi is no longer the time when the water was in the past, if even the Qi State cannot be defeated, then there is no need to think about the future of the world.

Most of the strategies such as encircling Wei to save Zhao, creating something out of nothing, and ambushing on all sides were strategies, and they were all completed before the start of the campaign, and these strategies were basically useless at the beginning of the real battle.

Now, in a rough sense, the Mo family has completed the isolation of possible interference, the Wei state has fallen into four wars, and the Chu state still needs to cooperate, and only the Qi state can send troops.

Sishang was a bait, a fat enough bait to make the prince unforgettable, and this bait had now been swallowed by the Qi State.

It's too late to spit it out now, but it's no loss for the Mo family to spit it out now: the Yue country is about to move south, and the Fei country has already made a coup, and if no one interferes at this time, the Mo family can quickly fill the power vacuum and rectify the chaotic situation.

I hope that after concentrating the troops, I can surrender the troops without a fight, so that the Qi State can retreat in the face of difficulties, which is the best.

Otherwise, the state of Qi will be weakened too much, and there may be some subtle transformations in the relationship between Wei and Zhao: Wei and Chu compete for hegemony, and Zhao will not be able to contribute, but if the state of Qi is weakened, Wei and Zhao will work together to conspire with Qi, it may not be impossible. If you really want to do that, it will not be good, and when the time comes, you will inevitably have to help the Qi State again, but you are afraid of being attacked by the Chu State from behind.

Now, with the greed of the kings of various countries, it is impossible to expect them to retreat in the face of difficulties.

The Mo family didn't know that Wei painted a joint attack cake for Qi Guo, which made Qi Hou firm his determination.

However, in contact with some envoys of Qi State, I found that Qi State was not giving an inch, and insisted on the matter of those doctors who surrendered to Qi, and was unwilling to back down.

The words of the Fowl Slippery Advice are also the inevitability of war caused by this attitude of the Qi State.

Shi understood the meaning of the bird, smiled at everyone, which was relieved and reassured, and said: "Since you want to fight, you naturally have to sum up your experience." When it comes to victory, there is no such thing as a battle to win, but the preparations are sufficient, and all that remains is to see the battle. ”

No matter how much you say, you don't have to say it.

Shi knew that the Mo family had selected enough young people to fill the power vacuum after Yue Guo retreated south, and at the same time, he had also selected enough people to prepare to go to Fei Guo.

In order to form an alliance that is more profound than the previous non-offensive alliance, then the military power must be in the hands of the Mo family, and the officials at the grassroots level must also be in the hands.

Judging from the current situation, unless the Mo family comes forward, Fei Guo really can't find enough qualified grassroots officials.

Those all kinds of people above the country of Fei don't really care. Education, military, assessment and selection are in hand, and Fei Guo is still Mo's after all.

Now that everything has been arranged, what we will finally see is this big war that changed the pattern of the Warring States.

If everything is according to the Mo family's plan, after this war, the Qi State may decline for a long time, the Wei State will also fall from the position of the overlord of the Central Plains, and the contradictions between the military power and the feudal nobles within the Chu State will also be sharp to the extreme.

…………

Teng.

Five divisions of the Mo family, more than 3,600 cavalry, and more than 70 bronze cannons have been assembled here.

After arriving, he first inspected the army, and the morale was high, and this review was also a big fanfare, hoping that Qi Guo would be able to retreat in the face of difficulties.

The army assembled here is nearly 45,000 people, all of which are combat troops, and the logistics baggage belongs to the rest of the departments, and the grain and grass gathered in Tengdi in recent years are also enough for the consumption of the army.

Tengdi is the northern gate of Xuzhou, before the diversion of the Yellow River and the formation of Weishan Lake, it was a strategic place, which could be attacked and defended.

After the defeat of the Yue Kingdom, although Tenghou was there, he had no power, and it was completely under the control of the Mo family.

The wind in early spring was slightly cold, but the streets were very lively, and a large number of soldiers gathered so that some businessmen followed, and they knew that the Mo family had never committed any crimes in the autumn, and the soldiers had money to take, so they came one after another to seek benefits.

Pickets with armbands patrol the streets in case something like a nuisance happens.

Inside the tent, the commanders of the various divisions and the representatives of the ink warriors were listening to the scout's report.

Constantly young people with paint markers marked some of the wooden blocks representing their military units and placed them in the right places.

The matter of the sand table has long been done at this time.

And the Mo family attached more importance to this kind of deduction because of the fact that Mozi and the Gongyi squad used belts as cities and wooden blocks and jade as soldiers in the debate between Mozi and Gongyi on saving the Song Dynasty and attacking the Song Dynasty.

Shi looked at the map and asked, "What is the situation over there?" ”

A herald hurriedly replied: "The people on the side of the Fei country are righteous and victorious, and the nobles dare not fight, so they have fled to Wucheng. Now the people of Fei are only a few dozen miles away from Wucheng, but they listened to our advice and stopped, just preparing grain. ”

"Father Liang's doctor of Qi State, is handsome soldiers heading to Wucheng. On the Wei side, Doctor Chengyang also commanded 10,000 soldiers, waiting for the Koreans. Linzi of Qi has already recruited a large army, and the number is about 50,000 to 80,000, the details are not clear. ”

"Doctor Pingyin is also marshaling the army, it seems that he is going to move along Jishui in the direction of Onoze, it should be to make peace with the Han Wei coalition army."

Shi took the wooden stick and clicked on the map below: "In the past, Wu Wangfu killed Shen Xu, not only did he not know the age, but he started the northern expedition. Que is a deep ditch, leading between Shang and Lu, the Yi of the north, the Ji of the west, and the noon of the Jin Gong in the Yellow Pond. ”

"This canal in which Wu competes for hegemony in the Central Plains connects Heze and Surabaya. It seems that the Pingyin doctor of the Qi State is preparing to use the Heshui transportation with the Han and Wei coalition forces to ensure logistics. ”

"I calculated, now that the military system has been changed, the grain needed by Qi along the way, if you go all the way, you can concentrate up to 70,000 people, this is the limit, and it has to be within the territory of Qi State."

"Now the army of Linzi of Qi State is heading south, it seems that they are going to follow Father Liang and the most direction to Wucheng."

"In the direction of Wucheng, the people of Qi feel that they should be able to hold on for a while. Although our reputation for attacking and defending the city has spread all over the world, but over the years, we have published some skills in defending the city to the world, and many people read more books like this, and maybe some people think they can defend it. ”

In the end, he himself laughed, and the six fingers on the side shook his head and smiled: "You said, blue is better than blue, and ice water is cold than water, maybe someone wants to use this to fight for fame." Think about it, if you can hold Wucheng for half a year under our attack, wouldn't this be famous all over the world? ”

"Back then, didn't you win and defend the hill, didn't you become famous in a fight? Nowadays, there are many people who are famous, rich and wealthy, and there are many such people. ”

Shi nodded, judging from the current situation, he can only make such a judgment.

Now that the Qi State and the Mo family have made the state of war public, the Qi State said that it was the internal affairs of the Qi State, and the Mo family should not interfere. The Mo family supported the new monarch of Fei Guo, believing that it was in the interests of the people.

The "sages" of Fei Guo can't stop at this point out of righteousness or self-interest.

For the sake of righteousness, it is natural to rescue the people of Wucheng and make them profitable.

For the sake of self-interest, why should you be a sage who can pass the country of Fei, why should you be a sage of the small capital of the country?

Now that the wings of the Mo family have hardened, from the non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries in the past when they defended the city and did not attack, to the current statement of non-interference in the internal affairs of various countries, it is rarely mentioned, but from the perspective of heaven and righteousness, the right and wrong of each country are evaluated.

does not say that it does not interfere in internal affairs, but only supports the new monarch of Fei Guo, which is equivalent to telling those people in the capital of Fei Guo: You let it go, and I will cover you if something happens.

In this case, neither the Qi State nor the Mo family backed down, which was equivalent to acquiescing in the fact that the other party would definitely send troops.

Now that it has been determined, then the State of Qi still asked Father Liang to send troops to support Wucheng, which seems to be the conclusion that Wucheng can be defended for half a year, or at least more than three months.

It is impossible for the logistical factors of the army to act at the same time, and the Qi State must be divided into three lines this time.

The first line of Jucheng, that should be a response, threatening the direction of the East China Sea of the Mo family, so that the Mo family had to divide their troops to guard.

The Han and Wei coalition forces, together with the Pingyin doctors, used the transportation of Heshui to directly reach Surabaya.

If Wucheng can hold out for three months, then the main force of the Qi army in Linzi can gather near Wucheng.

If the Wucheng side is scorched, the Pingyin Doctor and the Wei and Han coalition forces can advance along Surabaya, threatening the hinterland of the Mo family, forcing the Mo family to withdraw troops to defend, and then a situation of encirclement will be formed.

These are speculations and inferences, not known information, and I think this inference should be correct.

It's like Six Fingers said, there are many people who think that the blue is better than the blue.

That Shengqiu can become famous in the battle of Xiaqiu, and finally vote for the Qin position like a prime minister, it may not be that the Qi people who have not studied the Mo family's open technical articles on defending the city want to become famous, and said that Qi Hou was moved, so that Qi Hou was full of confidence.
