warring states careerist

Chapter 366
Liuzhi said again: "This matter must be clearly explained to the soldiers. It is said that this expedition is to ensure that the harvest of the family is timely, and each village will organize people to help each other harvest."

"Let the soldiers know what the purpose of this battle is. This is what the company representatives and soldier committee members will do next."

King Shuqing heard the words, and said with some concern: "Will this leak the news? If it is known by the Yue people, I am afraid that it will not be able to achieve the goal. I heard that in our Peiyi, there are many spies from various countries..."

Six Fingers shook his head with a smile, thinking of the content of the previous meeting of people of their level, the right thing to preside over was to discuss the possibility of this matter.

After thinking about it for a long time, there was no possibility of accident at all.Both Ni and Fei are small countries, with low city walls and a lack of popular support. Judging from the experience in Tengdi, engineers and soldiers can easily break through the current city walls with excavation and gunpowder.

As for the Yue people chasing behind, there is no need to worry, the Yue people's army is dispatched, and they will not be able to catch up with the light and strong volunteers.

If you don't use a large army, if there are only a few thousand people, then you can send food. You don't need the cooperation of cavalry, artillery and sword and shield soldiers, and you can still eat up a chasing team of thousands of people.

The first city chosen to scare the chickens and monkeys is the capital of the Ni country. In other words, if you have enough food in the morning, you can go quickly and arrive at night.

Because Tengcheng is called Tengcheng District of Zaozhuang City in later generations, and the capital of Ni State is in Shanting District of Zaozhuang City, those who walk faster can really arrive there overnight.

The State of Yue wants to take back the State of Teng, and the State of Ni is the bridgehead, and there is no other way to go.

After Ni country broke through and disrupted the alliance, Fei and other small countries must be frightened, and they will find ways to find an excuse not to participate in the alliance, or to delay the time.

The State of Yue must get the support of the State of Fei in order to support the army to counterattack the State of Teng.

And if Ni City can be captured in a few days, and it can escape from a distance with one blow, then from Peixian County to Surabaya, the volunteers of the Mohist school can reach Lanling within a few days.

If Lanling is besieged, the Yue Kingdom will definitely return to the division.Once Lanling is breached, it will not be far from Langya, the capital of Yue Kingdom.

The interior of the Yue Kingdom is in chaos. The Mohist volunteers who have killed their fathers for generations and have strong siege abilities, as long as they show the means to convince King Yi of Yue that the Mohist siege skills are not inferior to the city defense skills, then once the Mohist volunteers arrive in Lanling, he must back to the teacher.

This can be regarded as a classic encirclement of Wei and rescue of Zhao, but after discussion, the Mo family decided not to ambush on the only way, but to set the battlefield as far as possible in Teng.

In a decisive battle, the interior line has sufficient logistical support. The newly built Tengcheng City and the three fortresses outside the city can hold back the Yue people and give full play to the advantages of the Mohists in defending the city.

Second, if you are a little careless in the outside battle, you may have a big problem.Although it is possible to have a classic ambush halfway back to the teacher, there may also be accidents, which the Mo family cannot bear now, so they can only choose to fight inside.

The six brigades led by Shi are mainly to delay time, show the level of siege, spread political propaganda, intimidate the king of Yue and force him to return to the teacher, so as to obtain an excellent external environment for Peixian's summer grain harvest.

After completing the task, you can quickly jump back to the inside line and meet with the main force in the hands of Gong Zaoye who stayed in Teng country. After getting tired, the Yue people will make an appointment to fight the Yue country, and the first battle will resolve the ownership of the Surabaya River Basin.

Even though the State of Yue was not good at chariot battles, it still did not dare to lack chariots in battles on the plains. This caused the main force of the State of Yue to move slowly, unable to catch up with the lightly armed volunteers.

The volunteers have gunpowder and digging holes to approach the siege, and they can ensure that the lightly armed volunteers can break through the city and cause psychological deterrence to the king of Yue.

Furthermore, the Mohists have rider scouts, who can grasp the situation on the battlefield more extensively than the Yue people. As early as Teng Shuyu was shot by Qin Huali, the Mohism was preparing for the east, and has been surveying and drawing maps and routes, chasing and counter-chasing has an absolute advantage.

Liuzhi and other brigade-level officers also recognized the appropriate idea, and after careful planning, it was indeed difficult to find the possibility of accidents, which was why Liuzhi and the others were full of confidence.

What King Shuqing meant was that he was worried that the Yue spies in Peidi would pass the news to King Yue, but this kind of worry was unnecessary.

This is not a conspiracy, but to tell the Yue country that he will do this, not only to tell, but also to fear that the people of the Yue country will not get the news in time and will not be able to be mobilized.

The big army can't catch up, the divided troops can't fight, and the small city can't defend. This is the difference between the two sides, which leads to the fact that even if the Yue Kingdom knows, there is nothing they can do... It only takes a few days for the Ni Kingdom to break through. If Lanling can be breached, then Langya is at stake.Regardless of whether it is true or not, King Yi of Yue must return to his teacher, because he dare not gamble, because the righteous teachers of the Mo family can really break through the city easily, not just to scare people.

The specifics of how to fight will naturally not be communicated to every soldier, but the overall strategy and purpose can stabilize the morale of the army and boost morale, which is indifferent.

After Liuzhi explained, King Shuqing finally understood and was relieved.

Finally, Liu Zhi said: "We will gather in three days, and go to Teng State first. There will be supplies there, and you will pass on the news after you go back. You must remember to tell the soldiers that it is for the family to collect food. You must tell this. clear."

After arranging the rest of the affairs, the meeting ended, King Shuqing and Yu Tu returned to the company, and immediately announced the series of things.

Sure enough, the soldiers immediately felt relieved, and the morale of the army was greatly improved, because the grassroots control of the Mohists in Peixian County was very strong, and they could do what they said was "helping each other to complete the harvest to benefit each other", which urgently needed organizational power.

Because I know it can be done, these words are not empty words, but they can be trusted.

Three days later, the six brigades of foreign processing soldiers and some scouts with two horses completed their formation, and after taking oath, they headed to Tengcheng.

After resting in Tengcheng for seven days, the news finally came that the monarch of Ni country had taken people to the cross border to meet the alliance, and it had been four days since he left.

When the news came, the volunteers in Teng country immediately distributed weapons, ammunition and dry food, and prepared them to attack Ni city.

King Shuqing received one hundred lead bullets, gunpowder that could be shot sixty times, and ten catties of dry biscuits, which every soldier had to carry.

In addition to these, the company also distributed pickles such as salt, pickled lard, and dried salted fish, which needed to be carried by the company in batches.

King Shuqing was a little puzzled. Each company had to carry two hundred catties of salt, as well as some iron farm tools and some messy gadgets.

Evenly distributed to everyone, in fact, it is not much, and no one carries two catties more.

Sima Chang and the company commander, as well as his company representative, must play a leading role and carry more than the soldiers.

The spearman in the brigade will also help the musketeer carry some gunpowder, this time completely abandoning the logistics, now he only knows to attack Nicheng, he doesn't know where to go next, but he knows that he will definitely not return after defeating Nicheng .

There is no danger to defend there, and it is not the transformed Tengcheng Fortress. It is meaningless to defend it if it is captured.And carrying so much gunpowder and pickle salt, it is obvious that they are planning to take down Nicheng and continue eastward, making more noise, so as to shock the king of Yue.

After the distribution was over, nearly ten thousand people gathered in a team and set off at dawn.

Along the way, Shu Qinghou was extremely shocked. He had never been to Teng country, let alone saw the defense of Teng city after the transformation.

The whole city of Teng is now like a hedgehog with its thorns stretched out, relying on the old city wall to protrude from the reconstructed row wall, and several bronze cannons have been arranged on it, shining in the sun.

On the only [-] miles out of Tengcheng, there is another newly built fortress, which is much smaller than Tengcheng, but its shape is similar to Tengcheng, uneven, guarding the entry from the direction of Ni to Teng. important way.

There are three such fortresses in total, all of which are stuck on the main roads. If the army of the Yue Kingdom wants to enter the Teng Kingdom, they must conquer these fortresses before they have a chance, otherwise the back road will be cut off... The Yue Kingdom must consider the defensive skills The well-known Mo family has enough ability to hold on to Tengcheng for a long time, so the problem of logistics and transportation must be considered, and these fortresses must be pulled down before they can boldly expand their forces.

As for Tengcheng, Jinteng Township, which is the closest to Peixian County, is only a few tens of miles away.But it is hundreds of miles away from Langya in Yue Kingdom.

King Shuqing thought, even if he sticks to it this time, the Yue Kingdom may retreat in spite of difficulties, but since it is said that it will fight for 20 years of peace, it seems that this time it will not be like Shangqiu or Niu Lanyi Defensive battle.

He thought, this is fine, otherwise, even if he can defend, fighting on his side will still affect the lives of everyone.

If it is possible to mobilize the Yue people to toss back and forth and choose the right time for a decisive battle, maybe there is really no need to fight the Yue country in the future.

Thinking this way, he talked about his thoughts with the gentry when he camped at night.

The hundred and ten people gathered around the fire and listened to him chatting there, and then they talked about family affairs.

A young man who had just served in the army looked at the fire and said, "Potatoes will be harvested soon, and black corn will be planted after the potatoes are harvested. After harvesting last year, I took a hoe and dug out a hundred and ten catties in the harvested two acres of land. , that can be sold to the winery. Besides, raising pigs is also good."

"I'm leaving this year, and the family must be too busy. Even if the rest of the village can help, those who hide in the ground won't have time to dig them out..."

King Shuqing also thought about his own family affairs. If he was at home, last month was the time to fish for paper before the summer harvest, but now he missed it. .

Thinking of this, he said to everyone: "It is precisely because of this that we have to fight this battle. After this battle is over, I heard that I hope that all countries in Surabaya will swear not to attack. At that time, there will be more people who agree with our Mohist principles. , so there is no need to mobilize so many people every time.”

"Besides, if you don't go out to fight, but fight at the door of your house, you have to watch the King of Yue harvest the grain in our fields, and you have to send people from various villages to transport the grain to support it, which is even worse."

"Although this year is a bit tight, it's much better than before. Ten years ago, I never had corn every day. In spring and summer, I had to eat water lilies, sunflowers, plucking weeds and ferns to satisfy my hunger. ..."

Some are his sincere emotions, and some are the truths from Liu Zhi. Many of the truths are easy to understand and are in line with people's hearts. They are obviously written by the radicals of the Xuanyi Bubu, and King Shuqing is very sure of this.

He used very common sense to explain why he fought this battle, and then thought about what he had learned about the Mohist paradise, and everyone who listened nodded their heads, their eyes full of hope.

At this moment, King Shuqing saw a few people walking towards this side. They must be allowed to camp at night or patrol the camp. This is a military rule, and it is obvious that these people are not ordinary soldiers.

He took a closer look and saw that it was Shihe Liuzhi and Lu Shuai who were walking towards this side. King Shuqing hurriedly got up and heard Shi said: "It's very good, keep talking, I'll listen too... "

King Shuqing grinned, thinking that you still need to listen?Didn't you tell us these truths?But hearing Shi said that he spoke very well, he was also very happy in his heart. He also knew that the morality within the Mohist school is that everyone is equal, so he didn't have so many scruples and continued to talk.
