Chapter 850 Change of Life
Xu Ruo, who finally understood the meaning of the letter, chuckled.

"If the giant said that, we would understand it. If not, we would be a little nervous."

"After all, you all know that in Sishang, we don't recognize the legal principle of the king's land under the whole world. To sign a contract with the nobles here, it is necessary to recognize the legal principle of the king's land under the whole world. Really Some trouble."

The rest of the people also breathed a sigh of relief. Although Xu Ruo spoke in a relaxed tone, everyone understood that this was a serious moral and legal issue.

It is a major premise to use any available means to fight for the interests of the people.

It is also a major premise not to violate the bottom line of Mohist morality.

When there are two major premises and there is a contradiction, it is really difficult to deal with many things without a clear instruction.

At that time, I will fight here, and after I finish the fight, I will be criticized when I go back, saying that I am too compromised, and I actually admit the legal principle of the patriarchal enfeoffment system of the king's land under the whole world, so I can only admit it.

Now that Shi wrote a letter to endorse them and gave them guidance, everyone felt a lot more relaxed.

The person who presided over the meeting finally said: "Do it with confidence and boldly. It doesn't matter what you do. Since Juzi said so, it proves that Juzi will find a way to end it. Even if we turn the world upside down, we don't have to worry about our lives. The world is always dying, and we are not afraid of death, but we can't just ask for death if we have nothing to do."

…………

In Shangqiu, Liuzhi, who is about to go to Taoyi, is saying goodbye. Before leaving, Shishi wants to ask Liuzhi to say a few words.

Simple meals, very casual sitting posture, both of them drank a little wine.

"This time crossing the Jishui River to attack Chengyang and Linqiu, Gou Bian of the Wei State will follow. Just remember one sentence, tell Gou Bian, remind Gou Bian, if the Wei people retreat to the Wei State, then it is equivalent to the participation of the Wei State this war."

"Besides, this time, we want to make it feel like a goshawk catching chicks, and we need to frighten Wei Han. It has been many years since we have fought against the people of Wei, so we have to scare them."

Liuzhi smiled and said, "Don't worry Juzi, I understand what you mean."

"Chengyang is close to Taoqiu, close to our rear, just like our Dadangshan, it is considered an internal battle. Logistics, supplies, personnel... all are sufficient."

Shi nodded and said: "That's what it means. If we become Yang, we can quickly organize an elite team of about [-]."

"However, if we attack Anyi and Luoyang, with our current military strength, we may only be able to support 3 people or even less in logistics and other issues, and we will be reluctant to use gunpowder."

"So, we need to use the advantage of fighting inside to let Wei Guo see our strength...Although you and I both know that we can now launch such an offensive within three hundred miles, the Wei people don't know. They The understanding of combat is still in the era when peasants and soldiers were recruited, and individuals could fight with thirty catties of grain.”

"When they saw our offensive in Chengyang, they would think that we would have the ability to fight Anyi, Luoyang and even Xihe, but it is not the case."

"It's still the same sentence, use more gunpowder and use less human life. First, the artillery bombarded continuously for three days, which made Wei's heart lingering in fear."

Liuzhi nodded again, and after glancing at Shi, he couldn't help but ask, "Juzi, besides deterring Wei Han and signaling us to send troops in order to fulfill the righteousness of non-offensive, is there any other meaning in beating Chengyang?"

"After the fight...do you want to withdraw the troops?"

Shi smiled lightly, stared at Liuzhi for a few times, and asked, "Do you still think that if you want to fight a few big battles in the Central Plains, we should weaken Wei Han's strength first?"

Ever since the strategic concept of abandoning the Song Kingdom to lure the enemy to go deep and make a big dumpling after a full-scale war was launched, Shi felt that Liuzhi really wanted to fight a few big battles in the Central Plains.

In terms of strategy, Six Fingers recognizes the general strategy of first going south and then going north, but he always feels that Wei Han is a threat, so in order to reduce the pressure of the enemy when intervening in Chu in the future, it is better to fight a few battles with Wei Han in advance to weaken Wei Han Han power.

Six Fingers was silent for a moment, without denying it.

Shi said: "For this battle of Chengyang, it is inevitable to retreat. Now the situation is very complicated. The dispute between the Xias does not mean that we fight Wei and Han, and others just watch the fun. This time we use Zheng Guo to cause a war between Wei, Han and Chu. The intensification of the contradictions, the premise is that we deliberately tied our hands with a 'non-aggressive' neutral country, creating an illusion."

"Chu, Zhao, and Qin's attitudes, we have to think about it clearly. It's very complicated, you go back and think about it."

Shi casually took out a few peanuts from the plate, placed them on the table and said: "Once the matter of Zheng Guo is over, from the perspective of the princes, we can only go in three directions next."

"North, South, West."

"The western front is facing the Central Plains. Chu State gave up Song State, which means that Chu State knows that its national strength is not enough to fight for hegemony in the Central Plains. He wants to be on the defensive and chooses to shrink. Wei Chuhan is in our west, and it is very likely to achieve benefits. Unanimous. Don’t think they can fight for Zheng Guo today, once we are too strong, they can unite again immediately.”

Shi took another chopstick, swung it to the north side, and placed two peanuts on the north side of the chopstick.

Pointing to the chopsticks, he said, "This is Jishui."

Pointing to the few peanuts on the north side of the chopsticks, he said, "This is Chengyang and Linqiu."

"Now, if we quickly captured Chengyang and Linqiu and made a move not to withdraw our troops for the time being, who would be happy? Who would be worried?"

Liuzhi felt that this question was too simple, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was still very simple, so he said, "Chu and Yue are happy, but Wei, Han, and Qi are worried."

Shi nodded with a smile and said, "Then, actually according to our general strategy, who should worry about Zheng Guo's affairs? Who should breathe a sigh of relief?"

The grand strategy he was talking about was naturally defending from the north and attacking from the south, copying Sun Wuzi's strategy of going straight into Jianghan.

Liuzhi said: "That's the reverse."

Shi smiled and said: "So, we want to deceive the world. Wei Hanqi who deceived was worried and Chu Yue was relieved for the time being. In this way, Cheng Yang must fight."

"Once Chengyang Linqiu is captured, what will the National Assembly of Chu think? They will think that we will develop northward in the future, connecting the Yellow River, so as to connect us with Gaoliu Yunzhong's territory through Zhongshan Kingdom."

"but……"

Shi put a few more peanuts around the peanuts that symbolize Chengyang Linqiu, surrounded it, and said: "However, once we express our intention to go north, Chengyang Linqiu is a must for Wei Guo to give up." The place of contention will also be a prominent place like a chicken rib for us."

"Occupying Chengyang Hill, the east can be connected to the southwest of Qilu, the north can go directly to the Yellow River, and the west can attack and defend the east of the Wei State. It is a plain and there is no danger to defend. The Wei State must be nervous. At this time, they will try their best to fight I want to go back to Chengyang Linqiu."

Pointing to the chopsticks symbolizing Jishui, Shi said, "Wei people will want to return to Chengyang Linqiu, form an alliance with Qi, and spend a lot of energy, manpower and financial resources on building a defense line along Jishui."

"Whether it's building the Great Wall or building a fortress, they definitely don't want us to occupy this prominent land that could threaten their hearts and divide Qi and Wei."

"If we don't show our intention to go north, then this piece of land is not very important to Wei; if we want to show our intention to go north, we must take this piece of land first; if we take this piece of land, Then this piece of land is extremely important to the state of Wei like the lifeblood, so we can use this piece of land to negotiate many terms with the state of Wei."

Separated by the Ji River, the south is the north of Sishui and Taoqiu controlled by the Mohists, and the north is the great plain that is undefended all the way to the Yellow River.

When Chengyang and other places were "non-offensive" in Sishang, it was a prominent place for Wei State to enter Qi State eastward; The weakness of cavalry, infantry phalanx, and artillery superiority infinitely magnified on the plain.

Similarly, the same as Song Guo.If the Mohists go west, then Song is a place that Mohism must not give up; if the Mohism wants to go north, then Chengyang is an excellent staging ground for battles;

It took several siege battles to force Wei Hanchu to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to build fortresses, the Great Wall, and new cities, and to force Wei Qi to build the Jishui defense line.

Excessive consumption of manpower and material resources will drag Wei State into the abyss, intensify internal conflicts, and make Wei State unable to reform to establish more standing troops like Xihe pawns, making it feasible to defend and insufficient to attack.

As for the field strength of the Wei State, the Qin State Council helped the Mohists to clean it up. Based on a suitable judgment, the age of Wu Qi and others and the age of Qin Jun must be considered. Therefore, Qin State must take back Xihe. This is a political issue, and it is also the key point to thoroughly determine the rationality of the reform and prevent the new king from ascending the throne.

Thinking about Shi's words, Liuzhi seemed to understand, and asked, "Then what should we exchange Chengyang and Weiguo for?"

Shi sighed and said, "In exchange for the lives of comrades who were active in Xinzheng. In exchange for the lives of Zheng people who actively participated in our actions after the fall of Xinzheng."

Liuzhi drank a glass of wine and said, "It's worth the exchange. I hope that the comrades in Xinzheng will do their best and do whatever they want. I will protect them from Chengyang."

Shi nodded and said: "That's why I said, this time you fight Chengyang, you must be ruthless and aggressive. You must force Gou Bian to go back, forbid the Wei people to retreat to Weiguo, catch as many as you can, don't attack and defeat Zhan, To fight a war of annihilation. By the way, all the walls of Chengyang, Linqiu, and Leixia will be demolished."

Liu Zhi frowned and asked, "Will the Wei people be pressured by the Wei state and have to allow the Wei army to retreat to the Wei state?"

Pointing to six fingers, Shi said solemnly, "It's up to you."

"at me?"

Liu Zhi froze, and said, "That's right, it's you. The harder you hit, the faster you attack, the more Wei Guo thinks you are unstoppable, then Wei Guo will take the initiative to tell Wei Guo to remain neutral and not allow the Wei army to cross the border. Instead Come here, if you don't fight hard enough and shocking enough, Wei Guo will actually break the rules and let the Wei army retreat to Wei Guo."

Liu Zhi was stunned, and smiled and said: "You hit hard, will Uncle Wei Jian drag Wei Guo into the water and make you sing all the way into the Yellow River and divide the Weihe River into two? No, they will shout Follow the rules of 'non-offensive, neutral', use the rules to force us not to enter the defense, and use the neutrality of the defending country as their strongest line of defense."

"Conversely, you didn't fight hard enough. Wei Guo saw it, hey, it's not like you can't fight, so let Wei Guo drag you down and fight with you. What are you afraid of?"

"Remember, after taking down Chengyang Linqiu, sending people to the border of Qi State to engage in friction, doing everything possible and aggressively, it gave Qi Wei a feeling: you want to hit people with all your energy, but you have the rules to do so." The shackles, the feeling of waiting for others to untie the shackles for you..."

"Chengyang is an old city. Instead of parallel trench tactics, bombardment is used. The logistics are close, and the transportation is easy. How many cannons can be transported, how much gunpowder can be used in a day, and Wei Qi who needs to be bombed Despair dare not fight us in the field for the time being."

"As for me, I will cooperate with you in the south, talk intimately with the people of Chu, and send some people to help the state of Chu beat Wei and Han. You will help me deceive the people of Chu in the north. We will go north in the future."

"I want Wei Hanqi to be honest for a few years and abide by our rules. If you fight hard, they will attach great importance to the rule of 'neutrality, non-offensive', because they want to use this to restrict you from going west. If you shout too much, they will I’ll be very disciplined myself—obey the rules we set.”

"It was the three of them who broke up the old rules of the Zhou ceremony first, and they had to fill in the first soil of the new rules. You start with this, and you must end with it."

"And I have to let the people of the world know that the people of the Mo family and the people who follow our Mo family to benefit the world are not so easy to kill. Even if our comrades arouse the enthusiasm of the people in Xinzheng, we would like to hang the nobles on the branches If they died, or even hanged a few, they have to send our people back to me safe and sound. What I exchanged for Cheng Yang is not only the lives of comrades, but also the courage of the people of the world."
