Chapter 652 New Strategy ([-])

Of course, Sunzi Gao didn't say this to oppose Shi, he just wanted to benefit the world.

The purpose is the same, but the paths diverge.

However, what he said before just expressed a radical attitude, which made Grandson Gao feel puzzled.

If it is said that non-aggression was only a means that should be implemented before, then why is it necessary to negotiate peace with Qi now?
Now he believes in the judgment of the situation. The result of Qi's first battle is beyond his imagination, and it also proves that the volunteers now have the ability to take this opportunity to destroy Qi.

In particular, the support of the farmers in Qi State for the Mohists convinced Sunzi Gao that the time to benefit the world had actually arrived.

Under the ebb and flow, the power of those unjust kings will become smaller and smaller.Even though Shi's idea is right, to accumulate strength and cultivate talents first, but the current situation is so favorable, if you don't seize it, you may regret it in the future.

In addition to the favorable situation, Gao Sunzi also has his own other worries.

"Once upon a time someone asked about Zimozi and said: Love Zou people to Yue people, love Lu people to Zou people, love my countrymen to Lu people, love my family to the country people, love me to my family, love me Being close to my relatives, I think that I am close. If you hit me, you will get sick, but if you hit the other, you will not get sick. Why do I not brush the sick and not the sick?"

"Let's not mention the love of the difference, the last words of that person have to make us vigilant."

"Hit me, it hurts. But I don't feel pain when I hit others, so why would I think about relieving other people's pain instead of letting the pain not be added to me?"

"Wucheng was slaughtered, the Mohist is certainly indignant, because it wasn't the Mohist who killed, but the Mohist loves both, so the pain fell on me."

"I know the dialectic and unity of universal love and self-love, but when will this principle be recognized by the world? How can it be 'synonymous'?"

"If you break it down, there are Qi people, Lu people, Zou people, Chu people, Yue people... But now they believe in love, and don't think about whether they are Qi people or Chu people. Then, one day, Then make the same meaning, so that all the people in the world know that they are people in the world and not Qi people and Chu people, this is a method that can be used."

"Now that we have given land to the people in Wenshui and Jishui, we must protect their interests for the benefit of the world. Even if we withdraw."

"However, the land was distributed to the people of Qi, but they were ruled by the Marquis of Qi. If there were any unjust kings in the world, such as the conflict between Chu and Wei, the Mohists would think of benefiting the people of the world instead of attacking them."

"But at that time, the people of Qi may think: I already own the land, and we have already got what we want. So what does the pain of the people of Chu and Wei have to do with me? The people of Sishang can Educated, but we withdraw, how can we let the people of Qi understand the unity of self-love and universal love?"

"This is what I think. We should take advantage of the victory and fight to directly govern a large amount of land in Qi."

After Gao grandson finished speaking, there was another buzz in the venue. Several people nodded, and some people secretly looked at Shi Shi's attitude and still waited and watched. Some people shouted: "It makes sense, it makes sense."

In fact, many people supported what Gao Sunzi said just now. They may not stand with Gao Sunzi on other issues, but just discuss the facts. They think Gao Sunzi's words are reasonable.

One is the problems of various countries and ethnic groups that Shihe Mohist has been worried about. Once this kind of thing appears, it will be a big obstacle to the unity of the world.

It’s not that the unity of self-love and universal love is wrong, but that it will be difficult to operate in reality, and it may take a lot of money and a long time to persuade people to give up those illusory ideas and sense of belonging, and then Reclassified as a unified people of Zhuxia and Kyushu.

Another one is the situation that has already appeared in Sishang: the local farmers in Sishang have difficulty motivating them in terms of interests, and can only rely on righteousness and the unified principle of self-love and benefiting the world. reason.

But truth is truth, and reality is reality.

The rise of the Mohists was too smooth, and they won many battles, so that the people have never felt what it would be like to be attacked by nobles. People are always forgetful. Life 20 years ago has become a story. Of course, there are still many Some people remember, but some people have forgotten.

What Gao Sunzi meant was that Sishang had already publicized it like this, but still many people were not very concerned about continuing to conquer the world, and even actually opposed it.

Now that the people of Qi have been allocated land, and the people of Qi have obtained what they want most, how can they think of benefiting the world?It is unrealistic to say that everyone is good for the world, and it is not realistic to rely on everyone to be a Mohist who is always dying: if you can hope that everyone is a Mohist who is never going to die, then Confucianism hopes that everyone is a gentleman, and Yang Zhu hopes that everyone loves oneself and cherishes life. It seems that there is nothing wrong with it. This is definitely wrong.

This needs to be considered, and it is not possible to make all the people in the world love each other by raising your arms and shouting.If so, why does Sishang need universal compulsory military service?And how can the company with more ink masters have stronger combat effectiveness?Even if that is really the case, why do we need the representatives of the Xuanyi Department and the Mohists?

After the meeting place gradually became quiet, he said: "When Zimozi was still alive, we had already made a general plan. Take Sishang first, expel the Yue people, deploy the northern border of Daiguo, plan Nanzheng and Hanzhong, and govern Chuguo Yanying... ..."

"We have been preparing for this general plan. Once the world changes, once the state of Chu changes, then Hanzhong Nanzheng, Yanying Xiangyang, and the south of Huaishui will all be in chaos."

"If we get stuck in Nanzheng, the Qin people can't go south. If we get stuck in Yanying, Nanyang and Huai River, Wei and Han can't go south. At that time, if the Chu land is chaotic, we will be peaceful; if the Chu nobles are chaotic, we will fix it. The princes can't directly interfere."

"If the princes interfere, they will break the Baogu plank road and guard Nanzheng; then Yanying riots will block Xiangyang, so that the princes can only confront us across the river."

"With Sishang in hand, if Wei and Han move, we will attack the east of Wei and Han from Si, and break the siege of Yanying. If Wei and Han attack Sishang, we will attack Yique from Yanying, and break the siege of Sishang."

"It's a whole line and it's the same formula we've had for 20 years."

"First of all, let's talk about the general plan. If we have the same land, the princes will definitely oppose it, and Chu Yue will definitely fight against me at all costs. Then how will we plan? The time is not ripe, how will the whole general plan be implemented?"

"Do we have the ability to defeat the interference of Wei, Han, Zhao, Qin, Chu, and Yue countries? Even if we have, what will Sishang be like?"

Shi shook his head and said: "So, in the long run, and based on Zimozi's rough plan back then, I think we should withdraw from Qi."

"At this time, taking advantage of the victory to fight will not only not make it easier to benefit the world, but will damage the great cause of benefiting the world."

The strategy of the Mo family has not changed. It has been planning since 20 years ago. During this period, it instigated the rebellion of the Wu people and led to the retreat of the Yue people to the south.

But the completion of the entire grand strategy is still early, very early.

Gao Sunzi understood this general idea and its rationality, and he also understood that once Nanzheng, Yanying, Huaibei, and Sishang could be connected in terms of terrain, then no one except the Mohists would be able to interfere in the civil strife in Chu.

If you don't get Nanzheng, you can't enter Shu, and you can't go straight to Yanying along the sweat, then the safety of the entire upper reaches of Yanying can be guaranteed.

The safety of Yanying's upstream can be guaranteed, so Xiangyang, which is still called Yanying at this time, can make a lock. Relying on the Mohist's defense technique, only tens of thousands of elites can completely lock the connection between the north and the south.

To the west of Xiangyang, there are Tongbai Mountain, Dabie Mountain, and Huaihe River. These are not places where troops can be used.If Yanying is not captured, then the northern princes cannot go south, and the nobles of Chu cannot go north, completely locking Chu under the Mohist blockade, and the autumn wind will sweep away the fallen leaves.

Further west, the places where soldiers can be used are Song Guo and Sishang.

And Sishang is in hand, which means that even if Wei Han wants to interfere, he will not only ignore Sishang's attack.If the army really went to Yanying, Sishang could directly attack the hinterland of Wei and Han.At that time, Qin State may not be so honest, not to mention the Wei Han Qin alliance, I am afraid that Xihe Land will be bitten away by Qin State: Nanzheng is in the hands of the Mo family, and Qinling is in the way. Qin State's strategy to go south is a dream Ying, there is no other strategy except to go east and take Xihe first.

As long as Sishang is in the hands of the Mohists, the Northern Expedition will have a place to attack, and there is no need to go to Xiangyang and Nanyang.Sishang has been in business for decades, and others can't attack it even if they want to.At that time, at most, the entire southwestern Shandong area will be reduced to ruins.

But once the land of Chu subsides, the Mohists can fully grasp the initiative of the strategy, and it will only be a matter of time before the world changes hands: even if this generation gets old, the whole unification can still be completed.

The civil strife in Chu State is only a matter of time. The Mohists help the King of Chu to organize a new army and centralize power.

The appropriate idea now is to continue to build up strength, attack Huaibei, infiltrate the Yangtze River, and then wait for the death of King Chu.

The Mohists have been preparing for this strategy for 20 years, and all the wars that have occurred have been for this strategy and have never changed.Even including the early construction of the distant Dujiangyan, including guarding the grasslands in the north, and even entering Wu Chuanyi to teach the art of farming and cattle farming more than ten years ago, this is the case and has remained unchanged.

Grandson Gao understands, but he is impatient, anxious to benefit the great cause of the world, and anxious that if the world situation continues to change, there may be "love Zou people for Yue people, love Lu people for Zou people, love my hometown people for Lu people , love my family from the villagers, love me from my family, love me from my relatives, and think that they are close to me. If you hit me, you will get sick, but if you hit him, you will not get sick. The case of the whisk of the sick.

At that time, some things will be really difficult to handle.

Now all countries are reforming, all countries are strengthening their armies, all countries are trying to use gunpowder and stirrups, which have always been invincible by the Mohists, and all countries are also beginning to try economic reforms such as dividing land, granting land, and mu tax .

These are all things that have to be considered. Is the rough idea 20 years ago still applicable today?Is it still possible to succeed?And people in the world, can they wait any longer?
