warring states careerist

Chapter 537
Four days later, in the west of Feiyi in the state of Lu, and in the south of the most land.

The few fast horses didn't spare the horsepower at all, and galloped towards the military camp not far away with flags flying.

This is the Linzi Legion of the Qi State, and it is also the main force of the Qi State. The camp is fortified, but the few fast horses entered the camp without hindrance. Obviously there is some important military situation.

This is the first time in more than ten years that the Qi State has swung its army to the south of the most land.

The last time they were closest, in the battle of cutting the most, the Mo family assisted Lu Fei to attack and defeated the Qi army.Now the state of Lu has opened its doors and allowed the state of Qi to enter.

The most western part is Feiyi, the important fiefdom of the Jisun family back then.

Back then, Confucius, as the great commander, organized an operation to destroy the three capitals in order to strengthen the centralized power of the Lu State. He wanted to demolish the city walls of the three fiefdoms of the Lu State to prevent them from becoming bigger.

In the end, Sanhuan opposed this act of strengthening the centralization of power, so that Confucius had to leave the state of Lu to travel around the world, and was excluded from the political circle of the state of Lu.

The situation at that time was very complicated. Confucius hoped to strengthen the centralization of power, which would increase the power of Lu Hou.

The Jisun family in Sanhuan hoped to use Confucius to attack their own retainers, especially those under their own hands who were stationed in the fiefdoms, such as Zai Gongshan of Feiyi.

Confucius also hoped to use the conflict between Sanhuan and his own retainers to strengthen the power of Marquis Lu. In the end, many of Sanhuan's retainers defected, and after Jisun's use of Confucius, he pushed Confucius out of the power center.

The only possible result is that when the Jisun clan usurped the country in the end, Feiyi, the foundational fiefdom of the Jisun clan, did not become the land of Fei.

It is left to the historical lessons in line with this era, that is, without feudal separatism and military power, one should not try to implement various reforms.

As a retainer of the Jisun family, Gongshan Buzheng could fight against Confucius, who was the chief bandit, and even invaded Qufu for a time, which interrupted the reform.However, Confucius, who had no fiefdom and military power, was the chief bandit. Seeing that the results of his reforms were overthrown, he had no choice but to go into exile in other countries.

Now the army of the State of Qi is near Feiyi, and what they want to interfere is the internal affairs of the descendants of Jisun, the master of Feiyi, who usurped the feudal state.

It is not far from Wucheng.

The Mohists, on the other side of the Wucheng Rebellion, had obviously accepted the experience and lessons of Confucius’ reforms, and no longer chanted words to benefit the world, but adopted the means of armed separatism, relying on military force to enforce various changes.

The battle between Qi and Mo is at a critical moment, and what these fast horses convey is naturally the news about the military power of the Mohist school.

In the camp, Tian Qing, the commander of the Qi army, and Tian Wu, the prince of Qi Hou who went out with the army, and Tian Wu, who has left behind "disorders and doctors" and "Jixia School Palace" in history, are listening to the news brought by the scouts.

The news is very simple. Four days ago, the main force of the Mohist volunteers in Huling was suddenly dispatched, advancing along the Heshui River, heading straight for Chengyang.

Along the way, there are tens of thousands of people, with banners waving, songs and dances agitating, and there are slogans saying: "Eat new wheat in Chengyang".

When Tian Wu, son of Qi, heard the news, he didn't know what it meant, but he saw Tian Qing, the commander of the Qi army, raised his head and laughed loudly: "Good! Qi will take a lot of time!"

Tian Wu is still young, Tian He hopes that his son can befriend the people in the army, and it is best to have some prestige in the army, so as to lay a good foundation for the future coup.

Although he is intelligent, he is only sixteen years old after all, and he cannot understand war, the most complicated human activity.

The ones who can be the coach are naturally Tian's own family members. Seeing Tian Qing laughing, Tian Wu asked for advice.

Tian Qing laughed and asked: "My lord, if there is ten thousand gold in front of your eyes, if you take it, your nails may be broken, so will you take it?"

Nails are a symbol of nobility. Longer nails mean that you are working hard instead of hard. Only the common people cut their nails very short to prevent them from breaking when working.

But if you really compare Wanjin and nails, even though you are the son of Tian He, Tian Wu still said: "I choose Wanjin."

Tian Qing said with a smile: "It's human nature. I ask again, if you take ten thousand gold, but you may be stabbed in the heart, will you still take it?"

Tian Wu didn't even think about it, so he shook his head and said, "It's not wise to trade your life for ten thousand gold."

Tian Qing said with a smile: "That's the reason. Before Fei Guo was worth ten thousand gold to the Mohist family, and what they had to deal with was only the doctors of Fei Guoh. To the Mohist family, if they failed, it would only be a loss of a fingernail."

"But now, the army of Pingyin and the army of Wei and Han are about to converge in Chengyang. Chengyang is only a few dozen miles away from Taoqiu, and enters Surabaya along the Heshui River. It can directly threaten the foundation of the Mohist school in Peiyi, which is the heart of the Mohist family. .”

"Now, the Mohists send troops to Chengyang, which is to give up Wanjin, and just want to be able to defend their own heart!"

After finishing speaking, he walked to the map, Tian Wu also followed, Tian Qing pointed to Cheng Yang and said, "Cheng Yang, originally the land of Wei, is adjacent to Da Ye Ze, and is also close to He Shui."

"If the Mohist family succeeds in Chengyang, then if the army of Wei State wants to enter Sishang, they must either detour through Qilu, cross Wenshui, and arrive at Sishang in Liangfu and the most important city where we are now going; or they must pass through Song State. Only Zhandanshui and Shangqiu can approach Sishang."

"The Mo family's move is excellent! It seems that the Mo family hopes to break through Chengyang before Doctor Pingyin arrives in Chengyang, and defend from Chengyang, so as to prevent the coalition forces of Qi, Wei and Han from passing through Heshui and reaching Peiyisi."

Tian Wu looked at the map and roughly understood it.

The location of Chengyang is very dangerous. Now it is in the hands of the State of Wei. It is adjacent to the Linqiu of the Gongsunhui who rebelled against Qi. Onoze is used as a natural city wall. In addition, the local Wei, Wei, Lu, Song, and Qi intersect. The situation can be said to occupy Chengyang. If Wei and Han want to seek Sishang in the future, they can only follow what Tian Qing said: either attack Qilu and go to the front line of Zui, Fei, and Liangfu; Take Sishang; or... take Chengyang back from the hands of the Mohists, who are famous for defending the city.

Looking at Cheng Yang on the map, Tian Wu was puzzled and said, "Cheng Yang is dangerous, and the Mo family's move is excellent, why are you still laughing?"

He seemed to understand it, but he didn't seem to understand it, and asked tentatively: "Could it be that at this time, shouldn't Dr. Pingyin rush to march faster and join Wei Han before the Mo family captures Chengyang?"

Tian Qing, the commander of the Qi Army, laughed and said: "Young Master, you are ridiculous! At this time, not only can Doctor Pingyin not be allowed to speed up his march, but he should also be allowed to stay in Jishui to slow down the marching speed, so that the Mohists can capture Chengyang."

Tian Wu was puzzled, and murmured: "Wei and Qi joined forces to collect fees, this..."

Tian Qing pointed in the direction of Chengyang on the map and said: "The world is in trouble, and the nations are in conflict. My son, you must remember that when you fight in an alliance, you must make sure that allies are in trouble and not immovable like a mountain! Only in this way can we survive in troubled times and be strong and prosperous." country."

"The main force of the Mohists gathered in Chengyang, which means that they have given up on the matter of Feiguo. It's just that they can't give up directly because of their interest in benefiting the world. So when our army arrives in Wucheng, it's just that we have to do it, that's right." Can't also', withdraw from Fei Kingdom, in exchange for Chengyang and our retreat, to prevent the foundation of Peiyi from being destroyed in the flames of war."

"If the Mo family wins Chengyang, the Wei people will have no power to seek Sishang. The Mo family is now an enemy of Qi because of the troubles of land, and may not be an ally in the future. You can know why the Marquis of Wei wants to gather soldiers to send troops together and postpone it for half a year. And if your majesty doesn't allow it, why don't you go out first?"

Tian Wu still understood these things, and replied: "Wei people have great ambitions. If Wei people get half of Fei Guo, they must get half and hope for everything. In the future, they will definitely compete with Qi."

Tian Qing nodded and said: "That's the reason. I just said that Chengyang is a place, and the terrain is dangerous. That's for Wei."

"Wei loses Chengyang, and if we want to get Sishang again, we must either attack Song Dynasty, pass through Qilu, or regain Chengyang under the hands of the Mohists who are good at defending the city."

"But Chengyang is not important to Qi. If Qi wants to win Sishang, he can go down from Jucheng in the East China Sea and pass through Yishui River; he can go to Zui, Qufu, Feiguo Lu and go down; he can go directly to Heshui River along Dayeze. , Surabaya."

"At that time, the battle will subside, and Qi will win Fei and Wei will lose Chengyang. One day in the future, if Wei Guo counterattacks Chengyang, and if the son is Qihou, remember: send troops to help Mo, and don't let Wei Guo get Chengyang. Wei Guo will not Cheng Yang, then Sishang is in the hands of Qi State."

Tian Wu looked at Cheng Yang who was next to Wei, Wei, Qi, Lu, Song and Onozawa, and finally understood what Tian Qing meant.

Chengyang is the bridgehead for Wei Guo to enter Sishang, but this is only for Wei Guo.For Qi State, there are as many as three routes to enter Sishang. If Qi State wants to dominate Sishang, Cheng Yang will not be able to save it, but will acquiesce and even be happy that the Mohists captured Cheng Yang.

But Tian Wu was still a little worried, and said: "In the last battle in the past, the Mohists defeated the Qi army by [-]. The strength of the Mohist volunteers is not weaker than that of Wei's soldiers..."

Tian Wu nodded and said: "The Mohists' volunteers are very strong, and the world knows it. But no matter how strong they are, they can't be defeated by one against ten. The volunteers are only [-] to [-], broken into Yang, and the Pingyin doctor's army is patrolling. Don't the volunteers need to divide their troops to defend the formation?" Positive?"

"Besides, if he breaks into the sun, my army will come to Wucheng. Wucheng is the north gate of Fei. With Wucheng in hand, how can the Mohists keep Fei?"

"It's time for a truce."

"Yu Mohist, although they didn't get Fei land, they got Chengyang; Yu Qi got Fei land, which prevented Wei's power from going deep into Sishang in the future. Wei Guo didn't want to take back Chengyang, but wanted to take it back. Sishang had to bypass Onozawa and cross Qi and Lu. The people of Wei were greedy and Wei attacked insatiably. How could the emperor and Marquis of Lu agree? If Wei wanted to take back Chengyang, the Mohists could invite the allied forces of Song, Lu and Qi to rescue Chengyang. How can the Wei people defeat the four allied armies?"

"Young Master, you have to understand why your majesty sent troops this time. It was for Feidi, not Sishang. Although the purpose of seizing Feidi is to obtain Sishang in the future, it cannot be turned into an opportunity to seize Feidi at this time. Capture Sishang."

"We invaded Sishang, and the Mo family was good at defending. If we attacked Peiyi and Pengcheng with heavy casualties or even tens of thousands, the happiest thing would not be defeating our Mo family, but our 'ally' Wei State. Don't you understand the disputes among the nations? Fighting in an alliance, does the friendly army have the intention of not moving like a mountain?"
