Chapter 388 Administration and Management

King Shuqing didn't know that the person in the car was the King of Yue, but he just guessed that the car was a noble and important person from Yue.

He has seen big people, such as the king of Chu.

So there was neither the excitement of capturing a great nobleman nor the panic towards noblemen accumulated over hundreds of years due to blood status.

He is just fulfilling the responsibility of a nominal teacher and Mohist.

The spear rested on the ground and stabbed obliquely at the galloping horse. The impact force of the horse was so great that the spear shaft broke with a sound.

The bloody and frightened steed slammed into King Shuqing fiercely, as if the sledgehammer of a blacksmith from Pei County hit his chest, he fell backwards under the huge force, his eyes darkened, and his head fell heavily on the ground. on the ground.

When he woke up, his chest was in severe pain, and every breath seemed to have a knife cut in his lungs.

"Looks like a broken rib."

He exhaled, gritted his teeth and took another breath. The heaving of his chest brought endless pain, and the sound of fighting came from his ears. King Shuqing tilted his head hard and saw a figure from behind.

It was dark in front of his eyes, but he could see the extremely long bronze sword in the hand of that figure from behind.

Bronze swords cannot be made very long and will break, so the longer the sword, the higher the status.

King Shuqing had seen King Chu's sword, and was also familiar with Mo Zhe's sword. He knew that such a long sword was not a standard equipment for righteous teachers, and understood that it was an enemy.

This enemy's swordsmanship was extremely high, and three people were lying down at his feet. King Shuqing judged from his clothes that they were his partners.

So he stood up with all his strength and staggered two steps forward, the severe pain in his chest made him unable to breathe.

But he still endured the pain and drew out his short sword. When the person in front was struggling to separate the spear of the other person, King Shuqing used all his strength on his legs.

Pushing forward vigorously, he knew that he could not take the next step.

In the last step, he threw himself behind the man with the long sword, and his bodies collided. The broken ribs on his chest made his teeth clenched together again.

The left hand strangled the neck of the man holding the long sword, and the short sword of the right hand was in front of the neck, trying to use Peixian's local dialect to shout at the enemy who was still fighting next to him, "Whoever moves, I will kill him", But I didn't say this sentence, I felt a sharp pain in my chest, as if I was going to faint.

Before he fainted, he vaguely heard the sound of horseshoes coming from behind, and he was still thinking...was it a chariot?Or the cavalry of the righteous division?

…………

On the battlefield, a compressed pocket has been completed, and the remaining Yue people cannot break through, being squeezed into an ever narrower space.

After the cannons began to bombard the densely populated Yue people, the Yue people lost even the desire to escape. Many people stood there stupidly like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, throwing away their weapons.

The big picture is set.

Riding on the horse, the hanging heart finally let go.

From three months ago, he tricked the King of Yue into forcing him to fight in the field, then to the battle formation on the battlefield, and tricked the Yue people to spread out on the side close to the water, and then to the successful encirclement at the end, I don't know how many times my heart skipped a beat.

The more than 4 Yue people have all been defeated. Except for those who were expelled from the battlefield by the seventh brigade at the beginning, and those who fled with the king of Yue at the end, the rest were all besieged by the volunteers.

In a battle of encirclement and annihilation that took advantage of mobility, many mistakes were made, but in the end, the quality of volunteers far surpassed that of Yue people's peasants and soldiers won the final victory.

Stupid and dumb, he missed a lot of opportunities on the battlefield, and even the right wing almost collapsed, because the Yue people did not follow his plan completely, but the volunteers won in the end.

The messenger around looked at the battlefield that had already won a big victory, and said with emotion: "Well, it's a big victory."

Shi smiled and shook his head, nodded again and said, "Yes, a big victory."

After thinking about it, he said again: "A mediocre general is a good soldier. This is the victory of the military system, and the decisive victory lies outside the battlefield."

The messenger thought for a moment and asked, "Is this what you call victory over the imperial court?"

Shi nodded, nodded and said: "It's sort of. Um... that's it."

Just as he was about to explain, several cavalry came galloping from a distance, and the orderly frowned and said, "The horses can't stand running like this..."

After muttering a few times, those cavalrymen, who didn't spare their horses at all, rushed to Shizu, panted a few times, and the leader showed a strange look on his face.

"The concubine... the concubine king... has captured another king!"

After reacting for a moment, he couldn't help laughing and said: "From now on, common people can also despise princes!"

…………

At night, inside the Walled City.

The oil lamps were lit, and from time to time there were screams of wounded soldiers being washed with spirits. Busy women in Wuzhu costumes ran around, but those strong men who had just fought on the battlefield did not dare to block the way of these women. Lu, they are all doctors.

The great war is over, ending with the complete victory of the volunteers.

8000 Yue people were killed, [-] surrendered and were captured, the rest escaped, and some jumped into the river and drowned or escaped to the other side of the river by virtue of their superb swimming skills.

More than [-] volunteers died in battle, and the four right-wing brigades had the most casualties. Except for three companies that were completely wiped out due to problems such as charging without authorization, the rest of the organization was all there, and they had already seen blood. Given time to recover, they would be A strong army.

The things on the battlefield are counted by a special person.

Shi, Gong Zaoye and others were in a room, while several messengers were waiting outside.

By the oil lamp, a proposal is being drawn up based on the results of this great victory.

The Junzi Army of the Yue people was destroyed, the King of Yue was captured, and a large number of nobles were captured or killed in battle. This simply exceeded the best previous estimates.

Wars serve politics, and the outcome of the battle determines the future direction.

On the paper, use a goose feather dipstick with a sharpened tip to write quickly.

The previous content is the result of this battle, as well as some suggestions on the military level: such as increasing the proportion of cavalry, reorganizing infantry according to the style of the brigades on the right, and so on.

After the military level, it is follow-up preparations to maximize the use of the results of this battle.

"In this battle, the King of Yue was captured, and most of the Yue people have a tradition of killing kings. We have also known some things about the Yue people."

"Therefore, I think that the capture of King Yi of Yue will inevitably lead to civil strife in the country of Yue. This is an excellent opportunity for us."

"Of course, this opportunity is not to occupy Langya. On the one hand, we lack enough Mohists to carry out the politics in Peidi, and the more people refuse to accept it, they will inevitably rebel. The other is that it will make the princes of the world look sideways, too ostentatious."

"The State of Yue failed, and the State of Qi will definitely not let go of this opportunity. We can't drive away the people of Yue, but let Qi Tian get involved in Sishang."

"However, if Yue's internal turmoil is allowed and it's worth the big defeat, Qi Guotian's family will definitely not let go of this opportunity. We need a... Yue kingdom that abandons Sishang, but for the time being, we cannot afford a Yue kingdom that flees south and abandons Langya. .”

"The Yue State was defeated, and Qi State's situation also opened to the south. This must be something that the Three Jins do not want to see."

"In the struggle between Jin and Chu, I always believe that the Jin Congress will win, because the victory over the imperial court, Wei has reformed, and Chu's feudal monarch is too heavy, so it must not win."

"So, now that King Yue has been captured, we need to use our stronghold in the giant city of Dayi to spread the news of the Battle of Lushui."

"Three Jins hope to have a Yue State that can suppress Qi State in the south."

"Qi Guotian needs a victory to gain prestige."

"The King of Yue is facing a domestic coup, and his position as the King of Yue is in jeopardy."

"The brothers and sons of King Yue may also need more external support, and may even make peace with Qi or give up Langya."

"Chu State... may not be able to enter the Central Plains again within ten years, let alone Sishang."

"We need time, need more time to digest the Seven Kingdoms of Surabaya."

"So... we can still continue to shout the slogan of 'removing soldiers' and occupy the highest level of righteousness in the world."

"Now that the countries have not heard the news, we should quickly send people to negotiate with the countries and meet the kings of the countries."

"Strive to reach an alliance, and the people of Wei will come forward. They are happy to see a Yue kingdom that continues to be in Langya, so we have to fight for this alliance in the name of eliminating soldiers."

"Firstly, Wei, Han, Mohists, Qi, and Yue will form an alliance. Yue will return the two cities of Jianyang and Juling, and return the captured slaves of the Qi people. We will give the credit to the Tian family. We are the mediators. What the family needs now is fame, this is not the land of the Yue people."

"Secondly, Wei, Han, Mohists, Qi, and Yue will form an alliance. Qi and Yue will eliminate troops, and the Mo will act as mediators and help build fortresses on the Qiyue border. Wei and Han will come forward to put pressure on Tian to ensure that the Yue The capital of the country is still in Langya."

"Thirdly, we wait for the coup d'état of Yue, and Wei, Han, and Mohists support the restoration of King Yi of Yue, so that we can release the soldiers of Yue who were captured by us. Wei and Han will act as guarantors so that King Yi of Yue will admit to abandoning Sishang."

"Fourth, the four countries will form an alliance with us and recognize the restoration of the nine countries of Teng, Tan, Zang, Zhu Qi, Zhong Wu, and Xiang, but the Mohist will help with administration."

"Fifth, it restored the nine countries, and six countries including Zou, Pi, Fei, Ni, Xue, etc., a total of fifteen countries, to form the Surabaya Non-offensive Alliance. And it was recognized by Wei, Han, Qi, and Yue. Non-war."

"Sixth, take this opportunity to use some of our secret Mohists to take advantage of this big victory and go to Zhao, preferably a local Mohist. Wei and Chu are fighting each other, and the result will be resolved within a few years. It has been nearly ten years, and the chaos is about to emerge; the split of Zheng State is a foregone conclusion. Wei Han defeated Chu State, and Zheng State must be the next goal. However, once the Zheng land is completed and Wei Chu contends for hegemony, Wei State wins, then Wei State may Focus on the countries on Sishang."

"Zhaohou Xinxie, his younger brother came to the throne, he must kiss Wei to secure his position. Zhao Ji has a son, you can send a secret Mohist into Zhao, contact Zhao Ji's son, and strive to have time after we have digested the Surabaya Fifteen-National Non-Offensive Alliance. When resolving the matter of the Song land, Wei Guo focused on the issue of Zhao Guo's succession."

"Seventh, on the surface, alienate Chu State, but at the same time, send the news of the Battle of Lushui to Chu State as soon as possible. If Chu State is defeated by Daliang, it will come to ask for help. It is very different from the situation when we asked Chu people to withdraw their troops. It’s different, the initiative lies with me.”

"The above seven points need to be done quickly, and as soon as possible."

"The battle between Jin and Chu has not yet been decided. The Wei people will not directly interfere with Sishang at this time. If the Wei people win in the Wei-Chu dispute, the Wei people must be tougher than at this time, and the alliance will not achieve the best results."

"The people of Wei need a state of Yue to contain the state of Qi, to help King Yi of Yue return to power, to put pressure on Qi and Yue to eliminate the army, and to let the state of Yue return the two cities of Jianyang and Juling. This is the condition we gave to the people of Wei, and what we got The reward is for them to come forward and admit that they are temporarily unable to operate Sishang 'Feigong'."

"Qi is still waiting to see the result, and will not know so soon. We must reach this alliance before the Qi people react and mobilize troops on a large scale. The whole city makes Tian grateful."

After he finished writing the last stroke, he got up and asked Gong Zaoye, Meng Sheng and others beside him, "Do you have any comments? If not, please sign it, and I will send it back to Pei County tonight."
