warring states careerist

Chapter 891
Pengcheng.

A highly confidential meeting is being held.

Excited and solemn words echoed in the room.

"If the King of Chu can rule over five thousand miles of land and people with more than ten big families, dozens of lords, and nobles with more than a thousand corporals; and the people."

"This incident is the most important step in the great cause of benefiting the world. Comrades, don't forget your original intention and inherit the legacy of Zimozi and Ziqinzi."

"This time, we are not just at war with Chu State, but with the entire old system and the old world. When our soldiers really occupy the capital of Chu State, the rulers of the old system will unite."

"The Ying clan of Qin, the marquis of the Jin Dynasty, and the Tian clan of Qi will all move out the Emperor Zhou who has not been used for a long time, and unite to strangle us."

"But the victory belongs to us after all. As long as we occupy the land of Chu and defeat the joint counterattack of these enemies, there will be only a little distance left from the great victory of the world. At that time, it will be like a rotten tree, which will fall down as soon as it is pushed!"

Shi waved his arms and made a speech to start the war, and also declared that this attack on Yue was just a cover.

The navy of the Yue State is a threat, and occupying the Yue State to maintain the system requires dispatching troops. Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Qin-Jin war and the civil strife in Chu, the Mohists used the injustice of the King of Yue as an excuse to induce the princes of the world to believe that the Mohists wanted to annex the Yue State. .

However, in fact, the Mohists are only planning to get rid of the navy of the Yue State, and control the Yangtze River to cut off worries: the Yue State without the navy will not pose any threat to the Huaisi area, and can only watch the Mohists defeat the Chu State. Come back and pick them up.

Once the navy of the Yue State is defeated, the Mohists will immediately declare war on the State of Chu.

The reason is... It is impossible for a prince to believe it, and it is a fabricated reason, but the people will believe it very much. A reason for consuming dead people.

Xiong Yi, who reformed the law, died, or was finally boiled to death by Shi Shi, waiting for this opportunity.

Of course, Xiong Sui did not die normally, but was "robbed and killed" like his father, which is a political murder to put it bluntly.

A large number of lords who smuggled arms with the Mohist supported Prince Liangfu, and opposed the succession of Prince Zang, who had inherited the Chu king's reform wishes, and a civil war broke out in Chu's succession.

It was said to be a civil war of succession, but it was actually a coup in the palace. Before the body of the king of Chu was buried, the nobles broke into the palace and killed Prince Zang. They sacrificed to the ancestral temple, claiming that the law of the ancestors cannot be changed, and elected the prince Liangfu be king.

The reason why he is ready to use it is because he talked with the secret room of the king of Chu when he was an envoy to Chu more than [-] years ago.It was fabricated that the king of Chu said that if there are reactionary changes in Chu, then please ask the Mohists to come forward to solve these rebellions and benefit the people.

This reason is too nonsense, as long as it is a nobleman with a brain, he will not believe it.

However, this reason does not convince the nobles at all. The audience of these things is not the nobles, but the people of Chu State.

This is not a casus belli, but a means of propaganda.

Even the drafted proclamation, as well as various reform regulations that benefit the people after ruling Chu, are all written in the simplest, easy-to-understand dialect that is well-known to the people of Chu.

Propaganda must be clear about the target audience. It is undoubtedly stupid to come to the public with drums and music, or even to quote scriptures.

People who don't believe can choose countless reasons not to believe, and the purpose of propaganda is only to convince people who can believe.

The attack on Yue State this time was just to cover the battle against Chu.

Now that the elite troops are gathering on the Huai River, it seems that they want to destroy the country of Yue.

In fact, once the Mohists win the war of words on the Yangtze River, the elite army gathered in the Huaihe River will not cross the river to destroy the Yue, because after the destruction of the Yue, a large number of cadres and garrisons are needed to maintain effective rule, it is better not to destroy it first.

The elite will follow the Yangtze River, use the advantages of the navy to transport logistical supplies, and capture Zhaoguan in the State of Yue, which is the legendary place where Wu Zixu passed the pass, and then continue to advance along the river to capture Songyang.

Songyang, or Zongyang at this time, is an important city, and further west is the territory of Chu State, Anqing in later generations.

Moreover, to the south of Zongyang is Tongling, which is the most powerful place of the Mohists in the Yue Kingdom. A large number of miners there can quickly organize defenses, wedge into the south of the Yangtze River, and become horns with Zongyang.

When Zongyang is captured, we will maintain a state of war with Yue and declare an attack on Chu.

The army left behind at Sishang captured Xiacai, Shouchun, and went south to Hefei along the Huaihe River.

The main army continued to advance along the Yangtze River to Pengze at this time, that is, Poyang Lake, where it defeated the main force of the navy on the eastern front of Chu State. Attack Jingzhou on the front line and break through Chudu.

The division of Shenxi who lured Chu to go south, and the main force of Jingxiang who lured Chu to gather in Edi, seemed to be fighting a battle in Wuhan.

In fact, they dispatched elites to go straight to the three passes of Yiyang, passing through the natural barrier of Tongbai Mountain and entering the Xiangyang area, which was empty after Chu State was transferred.

The Nanzheng Legion supported along the river, joined forces with a large number of Mohists in Xiangyang City, cooperated with a surprise attack to seize the main force and was transferred to Xiangyang, also known as Yanying, in Hubei.

In the South China Sea, use the repaired Wuling commercial road to capture Linwu and Jiuyi, and obtain the upper reaches of the Xiangjiang River, forming a geographical advantage.

Attack on all sides, using the Dabie Mountains, Tongbai Mountains, Huaihe River, Khanshui, Xiangjiang River, and Yangtze River to divide the entire Chu Kingdom.

Among them, the King's Division of Chu, Shenxi, and Exian Corps were divided into Wuhan and Yunmeng Yiyi.

Chencai, Nanyang, Luyang, Xu and other corps were divided in the Central Plains.

So that the head and tail of the state of Chu could not look after each other.

Once Xiangyang is captured, build a city to prepare for defense, wait for an opportunity, and connect to Hanzhong for reinforcements.

At that time, Meng Sheng, who is linked to Yunmeng Daze, will cut off the back of the Chu army in Wuhan.

If the Chu army retreats, the Sishang Army in Edi will follow closely, chasing and oppressing them to annihilate them.

If you don’t retreat and want to delay the time by building a fort, then this side also chooses to delay the time, attack the land of Shenxi, send cadres to immediately land reform, stabilize the situation, and build a fort against the fort. rule.

The Nanhai Regiment traveled down the Xiangjiang River and captured Changsha and other counties, echoing the north of the Yangtze River.

As for the Chu army in Nanyang, Fangcheng, Luyang, Xu, Chencai and other places, they have only two options.

Either choose to fight against Xiangyang, and the Mo family will stick to Xiangyang. As long as the battle in Wuhan is over, Chu will be completely over.

Similarly, if they smash Xiangyang, Sishang will carry out a general mobilization, go northward along the Huai River, break through one by one, capture Chencai and other places, forcing the princes of Chu to give up attacking Xiangyang and retreat to their fiefs.

If they don't die in Xiangyang, but choose to gather troops in the Central Plains, cooperate with Wei, Han, Zhao Qi, and "encircle Wei to save Zhao", attacking Sishang in exchange for Sishang's retreat, then there is also a plan.

The senior officials of the Shihe Mohist School will stay in Sishang to carry out a comprehensive general mobilization, so that Wei Hanchuqi can see how terrible the general mobilization and internal battles under the effective grassroots rule are.

If they procrastinated and waited for all countries to send troops together, then the Mohists would also choose to procrastinate. As long as they wiped out the southern army of the Chu State that separated Tongbai Mountain from the Dabie Mountains and the Han River, the general situation would be settled.

If they don't delay the time, but can't wait to prepare to attack, then according to the predetermined plan, first cut off one finger and attack them individually, so that they cannot gather.

If it is really unexpected that the response speed of various countries far exceeds the limit of the era of feudalism and an unprecedented army is really organized, then follow the previous plan of the staff department.

Abandon the Song Dynasty, use the fortified areas in Jishui, Heze and other places to defend on the north line, retreat on the center line, gather troops, and lure the enemy to go deep. Force the coalition forces to retreat.

If they do not retreat when the right wing is stolen, the left wing cannot break through the Heze Jishui defense line, and the central army is too deep, then they can choose to fight in the inner line and fight a battle of annihilation in the concave moon pocket formation to destroy Wei Chuhan Qi's final field force.

It's just that in this way, Wei, Han, Chuqi are all finished, and there is no chance of struggling at all. At that time, the strategic offensive power on the Central Plains battlefield will be in the hands of the Mo family.

When the time comes, go north first and break Qi, and the soldiers will approach the Yellow River and Taihang. It doesn't matter whether it is encroaching or swallowing.

The essence of the entire North China Plain is in the hands of the Mohists, and the Huaisi area is the best developed area. The Chu land in the south of the Yangtze River belongs to the Mohism, and it takes only three years to pull out a large army through land reform.

For this grand strategy, the Mohists have trained and reserved a sufficient number of cadres who are proficient in Chu languages ​​in various places over the years. They have already started preparations more than ten years ago, not only to destroy Chu, but also to occupy it and form an effective rule.

This plan may seem cumbersome, but it is actually simple. Even if there is an accident in any link, as long as it is not completely defeated, it is basically impossible for Chu to exist.

There is a new chaos in Chu State. If Chu State chooses to fight in Wuhan, Sishang's legion cannot fail. The gap in combat power cannot be made up by tactics.

If the king of Chu chooses to flee and give up the battle in Wuhan, it will actually be a dead end.Abandoning Wuhan is equivalent to abandoning Jingxiang, fleeing south like the Battle of Baiju, and there will be no chance of returning to the country.

The Mohist family is not the state of Wu, not for revenge, but to form an effective rule for the understanding of the people. The more the king of Chu gives up, the faster the strength of the Mohist family grows.

The division of Shenxi has only two choices, either go south to Wuhan and meet with the Jingxiang Army to prepare for the battle in Wuhan; or go north to meet with Nanyang Chen Cai and other divisions, and then seek other schemes.

If Mr. Shen really had a bad brain and chose to command Shen's division to rescue Hefei, Xiacai, and Shouchun, it would just save a lot of trouble. After defeating each of them, Shen's division should be eaten first, and Huaibei to Chu State in Edi would only have a small force. If it's gone, then it will be unimpeded from now on.

The elite soldiers seized the three passes to capture Xiangyang, just to close the door and beat the dogs to divide the Chu Kingdom. past.

Similarly, in the Central Plains, the Wei State was bled by the Mohists and the Qin State. In fact, there was no field army in the east that could fight. South Korea still had some strength, but it had to cooperate with the remaining forces of the Chu State.

Qi State himself did not dare to go deep into Sishang. A single army would surely die if it went deep. Qi State could only wait for the countries to be ready.

For this plan, the most critical step is the first step, destroying the navy of the Yue State, making the Yue State useless, cutting off worries about the future, and obtaining the right to control the river.

Of course, if this battle is invincible, then go back and choose to avoid the water war and cross the river land war to destroy the country of Yue first, and take it slowly.

As long as this is overcome, then you can do your best to implement all the plans.These plans cannot be solved by strategy and ingenuity, and the Mohists can afford several mistakes, while the Chu State needs only one time without "amazingly winning more with less" and it is over.In other words, the Chu State must create at least three miracles that belong to the 3000-year-old history books of later generations before it can be preserved.

There are three miracles that Chu State needs to accomplish, including: the civil strife has just subsided, and the [-] field army with unstable morale defeated at least [-] Sishang elites in the Wuhan area, and it had to be an annihilation battle rather than a defeat war; It was calculated that the Mohists intended to give up the fiefdom and assembled to counterattack Xiangyang within a month; a meteor fell into Pengcheng and killed all the senior cadres of the Mohism.
