warring states careerist

Chapter 174
Among the twelve siege methods summed up by the Mohists at this time, there is the method of "Yangfu", which means that when there are many soldiers, logs and soil are piled up to form a mountain, so that the archers and crossbowmen are condescending.

Then pile it up into a sheep's nest, and rely on the cover of archers and crossbowmen to suppress the city wall remotely.Then pile up the second ram, let the elite sword and shield soldiers rely on large shields and wooden bridges, condescending and directly attack the city wall.

Since there is such a method as the Yangfu, siege equipment such as wooden towers that look down on the city from a high position will definitely be built. Even if a separate one is not built, even if it is just a Yangfu, it is enough to see the situation in the city clearly.

But Mozi once commented that the siege method of Yangfu is the most stupid, and I have dozens of ways to crack it.

Since the sheep are not afraid, they don't care about building a watchtower for the Chu army.

The appropriate method is exactly what Mozi wanted. This is some detailed tactics, but now there are only a few hundred people including Mozi and volunteers. All the details are used well.

Mozi really didn’t expect that Shi would come up with a solution similar to what he thought. What he thought was to use the manpower of Shangqiu to artificially help the Chu army build a "Yangyu" before the arrival of the Chu army, as a place for the elite soldiers to go out of the city to attack. beacon.

On a plain, it is easy to get lost when attacking. This is the reason why Cao GUI had to stand on the chariot to watch the Battle of Changshao back then.

Now that it was brought up, Mozi felt that this matter could really be prepared in advance, and said: "Since you said it today, it just so happens that everyone come over, let's discuss it and decide on this method."

Mozi said that calling everyone to discuss, naturally does not mean calling all the Mohists, or the radicals, Qiwuhai, etc. among the Mohists.

These people convened are more like members of the Mohist's military committee.

This kind of system was not thought up by Shi Shi. During the reorganization a few years ago, the Mohists adopted a similar staff or military committee system according to the ancient law.

In "Six Secret Teachings, Wang Yi", it was pointed out that the staff department, logistics department, engineering, combat and other departments must be complete.

The so-called:
With one heart and one heart, the master secretly plots to respond to the death, the sky changes, and he takes over the strategy to save the lives of the people.

The five counselors are mainly concerned with safety and danger, and they are not yet budding, discussing their ability to do things, specifying rewards and punishments, granting official positions, deciding suspicions, and deciding whether they are acceptable or not.

The three astronomical people are in charge of the ephemeris, wait for the wind, push the time, test the amulet, check the disaster, and know the opportunity of the sky.

There are three people in the right place, who are in charge of the situation of the three armies, good and bad news, dangers and dangers near and far, dry water and mountains, without losing the right place.

The nine masters of the art of war mainly talk about the similarities and differences, the success or failure of actions, the simplicity of weapons, and the illegality of assassination.

The four people who are responsible for the food supply are responsible for eating and drinking, preparing and accumulating food, and supplying food and grain to the grain, so that the three armies will not be sleepy.

Fenwei four people, the main choice of material strength, discussing the military revolution, the wind and lightning, do not know the reason; the three people Fuguqi, the main Fuguqi, clear eyes and ears, cunning talisman festival, false orders, coming and going secretly, coming and going like a god.

There are four people in the thigh and arm, and the director is difficult to hold, repairing ditches and curing barriers.In order to prepare for the defense; the three people with materials, the master picks up the leftovers and make up for the mistakes, meets the guests, discusses the words, and eliminates the troubles.

The three men of power and authority act strangely and set up different things.Unknown to humans, capable of infinite changes. Seven ears and eyes, master communication, listen to words and see changes, read affairs in all directions, and feelings in the army; doubt.

The four wings are dedicated to promoting reputation, shocking the distance, shaking the four realms, and weakening the enemy's heart; the eight wanderers are mainly serving traitors and waiting for changes, opening and closing human feelings, observing the enemy's intentions, and thinking of them as spies.

The two warlocks are masters of treachery and deceit, relying on ghosts and gods to confuse people's hearts; the two alchemists master hundreds of medicines to cure golden sores and cure all diseases; .

This is a general military core concept, including staff, command, operations, logistics, supply, engineering, reconnaissance and other items.

Since Mo Zhe is good at defending the city, and the first explanation in the chapter on defending the city is that the best defense is field battle outside the city, so he is very familiar with the overall war organization.

In "Six Secret Teachings", it refers to the royal system, so 72 people are needed to assist.

There are only three to five hundred Mohists in total. It is impossible for so many people to be core members, and the number is much smaller, but the division of labor is still clear.

At the time of the reorganization, it was clearly pointed out that the armed forces of the Mohists must be in the hands of the giants, but there must also be elements of internal assistant staff.

The identity suitable for the Mohists is the secretary of the book and the head of the Xuanyi Department.

But in the military force of the Mohists, they are not core members because they do not understand the art of defending the city and their martial arts are weak.

According to "Six Secret Teachings", his status in the Mohist Army is similar to that of a magician and a magician, who is in charge of logistics and propaganda.

He didn't want to be just a warlock, however.

The core members of the Mohist's military force are determined by Juzi and Qiwuhai. The number is not fixed for the time being, and it is also in parallel with the Mohist's regular organization.

According to the rules after the reorganization of Mohists a few years ago, they are not allowed to participate in the core meeting of military content.

But this time defending the city involved many issues, not just combat, but also propaganda, forcing the nobles of the Song Dynasty to make oaths, logistics, etc. Suggestions on issues.

Soon, the Mohist who delivered the order summoned more than a dozen people who were busy in Shangqiu City. There were only seven core members of the real military force for the time being, and the rest belonged to non-voting attendees. A few people stayed in Pei County.

Just as in Pei County, Shi participated in the high-level meeting of the Mohists as the head of the Xuanyi Department for the first time, which meant a lot to him.

The meaning of this high-level meeting of military forces that is suitable for participation this time is also very different.

With his embarrassing and weird status as a book secretary, he can basically participate in various meetings of the Mohist core, but after all, he is only a book secretary, and some things are not right and wrong.

This time he was not yet a member of the "Military Power Committee", but it was obvious that Mozi was going to let him talk about his ideas this time.

After all the people gathered, Mozi said first, "Before, I said something about the military defense of the city. I think it makes sense. How about you listen?"

These words are not qualified to mention, they can only be relayed by Mozi, this is the internal rule of Mozi.

But since Mozi mentioned the idea that Shi came up with, the meaning is different: it is meaningless for Mozi not to take responsibility, and his position is unshakable.

And if this matter can be successful, Shi will have the right to speak on military issues, can convince the public, and can officially enter the core circle of Mohist military forces, even if they are ranked last.

If this thing fails, Shi also has to assume certain responsibilities.Although he does not have the right to vote, and other people make decisions, it will have a great impact on the future reputation of Mohist military forces.

Shi was happy about this, and he was not prepared to ask Mozi to help take responsibility, because if Mozi took full responsibility, he would have no chance.

As Mozi commented before, if Gongshang Guo does not die early, he will elect Gongshang Guo as the next giant.

Qin Huali's art of defending the city has learned the essence, but in Mozi's opinion, it is still a little insufficient on some rough issues.

Appropriate general plan and outlook on the general situation are the best among the people Mozi has seen, and they are also one of the few who can figure out the direction of the world situation. Mozi is shocked every time he says something-historical direction is such a thing, it is appropriate. Indeed, what can be done today is unparalleled, because many of them are inevitable in his memory.

Moreover, Shi was young and considered the best among the younger generation of Mohists. Mozi hoped that Shih would be able to participate more in the internal affairs of Mohism, and with a justifiable identity.

The matter of the Propaganda Department allowed Shi to demonstrate the ability to be responsible for certain things in addition to "knowing the will of heaven".

However, even if there is no distinction between old and young among the Mohists, and those who are capable will go up and those who are incompetent will go down, the status of the Mohist's military power is a bit embarrassing.

There are a lot of brave people among the Mozi. Although Mozi is "non-fighting", in the general environment of the early Warring States period, if you want to convince these Mohists who have gathered fighters from all over the world with their military capabilities, you must A certain level must be demonstrated.

This has been the case since ancient times.

Jiang Ziya is not a weak military adviser, but an old warrior who can still drive a car at the age of 70.

Guan Zhong sounds like just a phase, but he can draw a bow and hit Duke Huan of Qi with a hook, and then retreat leisurely.

Wu Qi seems to be good at training soldiers, but when he was young, some people insulted him and killed his whole family and killed more than ten fleeing soldiers.

Cao GUI is also a ruthless character who can hold a sword to "five steps of blood splashing", forcing Qihou to make an alliance with blood.

Very bad.

When I was a child, I learned Jiaodi from a butcher in the market. It might be okay to put it on the street, but among the Mohists, it might not even be able to beat the six fingers he brought into the Mohism.

Using Luo Xiaoli's jokes, Luo Xiaoli thought that even with one hand tied, he could wrestle with Shi and easily win.

Shi has never seen Mo Zi do it, but Luo Xiaoli was beaten by Gong Zaoye with a stick for several months in training, and when Mozi was feeling old and weak, he accidentally mentioned that now the old man can no longer defeat Gong Zaoye ...

In addition, I put all my thoughts on running a school, fighting with Liezi Yang Zhu and others on paper, the system construction of Peixian County and the agricultural law circle, etc., and I didn't study the Mohists' city defense skills and field tactics carefully.

When compiling and training volunteers, he also thought about making a blockbuster and proposing some "constructive" means, but what he couldn't think of was the formation, formation, turning, military music, flags and other issues, which were raised as early as a hundred years ago. After training an elite army capable of destroying Wu, the training of those who guarded the city and the gates of Mozhe was even more rigorous.

Therefore, when training volunteers, Shi didn't have any chance to make a big splash, and he couldn't be distracted, so he could only stay outside the core circle of the Mohists' military power.

Some people once joked that they would not be surprised if Shi was selected as Qiwu at the next Mohist gathering, but they would be protected by swordsmen when defending the city...

This is a question that Shi has always been very concerned about. Today, he made a suggestion to Mozi because he wanted to take a few steps forward in this circle.

Now the Mohists have not developed much, and the number is only three to 500 people, which belongs to the start-up stage. This is the easiest opportunity to get into the top level. It's only three or four hundred at a full count.

Even though the Mohists always say that the old and the young are the only ones who are worthy, but in fact the rules of seniority and seniority are still followed.

If you want to get it, you have to bear the consequences of possible failure.

Mozi slowly finished talking about the "purpose", "tactics" and "feasibility" that Shi said, which means that Shi will either succeed, or have no chance at all to intervene in Mo's military power in the short term.
