warring states careerist

Chapter 933
In the future, the situation on the western front seems to be full of crises and insufficient troops. In fact, as long as there is an idea of ​​abandoning the strategic contraction of Nanyang, the situation will be greatly improved.

If Wei and Han did not send troops, Qin would not have the strength to attack Nanyang. This is determined by the terrain, and there is no second way to go. Six fingers are enough to organize defense in Danyang.

If Wei and Han send troops, then the pressure on the eastern front will be doubled, and the offensive on the eastern front will be used as a means of supporting the defense of the western front.

If there is a decisive battle on the Eastern Front, we will abandon Shangqiu and other places, and lure the enemy to go deep and reveal their flaws, thereby annihilating them.

If there is no decisive battle on the eastern front, then troops will be sent out, because Qi is determined to be unable to take down Sishang in a short period of time. Once they enter Sishang, they will know what it means to have soldiers everywhere.

In fact, it is impossible not to fight decisively on the Eastern Front.

It is impossible for Qin, Wei, and Han to let Qi and Zhao sit idly by while they bleed in Nanyang.

The princes are wary of each other.

Qi State either sent troops to Luoyang to meet the emperor, and sent troops from Yi and Luo to Nanyang to cooperate with Han and Qin to fight; or they had to send troops to Sishang to attack on the eastern front, otherwise this covenant would not be possible.

It's not that Qin State disagreed, but that Wei Han would not agree, and Wei Han would not agree if Qin State did not agree.

Wei Han bleeds himself, and he has been shed by the Mo family and the Qin State for 20 years. He is already in danger and can't hold on. At this time, let another Qi State sit by his side?
If Nanyang wins, the strength of the Mohist family will be damaged, and the pressure on Qi will be doubled. The Qi Congress will not choose to go west when there is no pressure from Sishang?Especially assuming that Qi has no losses?

If the Qi State did not take the initiative to attack, South Korea would have reached the front line of Luyang and Fangcheng at most, and would not have advanced further if it maintained its own defense.

This is not a matter of believing that Qi will not backstab. Even if Qi does not backstab, and Qi does not send troops to attack, the Mo family is capable of capturing the main beam and threatening Wei and Han's heart. When the time comes, the main force of Wei and Han will go deep into Nanyang and come back Can you make it?

Therefore, if Qi State does not take the initiative to attack, it is equivalent to the invalidity of this covenant.

At that time, will Qin Guo go all out in the decisive battle with the Mo family in Danyang?In the end, the advantage Xihe had just won was lost in Danyang. Annoyed by the Mo family, both Nanzheng and Danyang can go straight to the heart of Qin, and Wei Han will be relieved at that time.

There are many reasons for the princes to delay sending troops. If many places cannot reach a consensus and cooperate with each other, even if the threat of the Mo family is so great and their ambitions are clearly revealed, then they can only restrain each other and dare not move lightly.

In the world of disputes, in a world of great strife, no one among the princes can afford to lose a big war.

In the first battle between Qi and Mo, the Qi State had been honest for more than ten years, and was unable to fight for more than ten years.

The battle between Chu and Mo, the battle of Daliang City, the Chu country retreated and licked its wounds for 20 years.

Ten or twenty years, if it is in the age of Spring and Autumn, it is nothing more than a moment, and you can still fight and fight again.

But now, when the wind is surging, 20 years is enough to destroy the country and exterminate the sacrifices, widening the gap.

The Mo family is certainly hateful, but the question is, if Qi conquers Han and Zhao conquers Wei, will they still be sacrificed?
Therefore, it is very certain that the attack on the western front must be later than Qi's dispatch of troops. Before Qi sent troops to meet Wei Hanzhao, it was impossible to attack on the western front.

The premise of the attack on the western front is that the Korean army will attack Nanyang through Funiu Mountain and force the six fingers to divide the troops, so that Qin can break through the defense.

The prerequisite for the Han army to capture the direction of Nanyang via Funiu Mountain is that Qi and Zhao will be the main force, and they will cooperate with the remaining forces of Wei and Han on the east line to attack Sishang in the direction of Daliang, so as to ensure the safety of South Korea's rear.

When Qi sends troops, it can only gather troops in Daliang, and it will join forces with Zhao, Han, and Wei, and use offense as a defense, which can make South Korea boldly send troops to Nanyang, otherwise Wei and Han will not agree to form an alliance against Mexico.

Conversely, if Shi Shi tricked South Korea into going south early and annihilating its field army, then Qin would not be able to attack Danyang, but would try to capture Nanzheng, or maintain friendship with the Mohists to capture Xihe.

Qin State does not send troops, and the western front is safe, so it is impossible for Qi State to fight Sishang, because if Qi State goes to fight Sishang at this time, it is equivalent to using his own blood to protect South Korea and Wei State, and may even bleed. Drain your own blood to protect the country of Wei in South Korea.

Therefore, in this possible war of the alliance of princes against Moxie, Han and Wei can fight, but Zhao, Qin, and Qi cannot fight alone, but without his participation, the joint battle of the alliance of princes cannot be united.

South Korea is the central axis.In other words, the field army in South Korea is the central axis connecting the alliance of princes.

Originally, the core of this central axis was Wei State. Wei State had this strength 20 years ago, but after 20 years of bloodletting and wear-and-tear, Wei State has been unable to support this core. This is also the purpose of fighting against Wei.

This time, if the princes want the alliance to be successful, they must trust each other.

Han Wei must believe that Qi and Zhao will attack Sishang Song in the direction of Daliang, desperately covering their fragile heart; Qin must believe that when he attacks Danyang, South Korea will definitely send troops out of Luyang Fangcheng; Qi must believe that he is in the east When gathering for field battles, South Korea will try its best instead of choosing to avoid the battle after sending troops in Nanyang; Zhao Guo must believe that at the moment when he makes peace with Zhongshan and sends troops and Gao Liuyun is angry, Qi, Qin, Han, and Wei will fight to the end instead of Halfway through the fight, he chose to negotiate a peace and slip away first. Not to mention the best time to seize Zhongshan, it also caused instability in the domestic people.

From the time when the rites collapsed and the music was broken, the feudal lords disputed and cheated each other.

If the alliance is a fart, the blood-sworn conspiracy can be reported within one night. The two families join forces to send troops and run away in the middle of the fight. The three families work together to exterminate one family. Sending troops to engage in succession interference wars, and not hesitate to split the allies in two...

This kind of thing happens a lot, and it is really difficult to trust each other.

The worst plan that Sigami's staff made was actually the most unlikely plan.

The plan to lure South Korea to send troops is actually the best estimate, but I just don't know if South Korea can be fooled.

…………

Five days later, twenty miles north of Yangcheng in Chudi.

This Yangcheng is the Yangcheng that was closely related to the rise and fall of the Mohism in history. It is a city between Zhoukou and Luohe in later generations.

This city is very famous, not only because of the history of Meng Sheng's death for Xiaoyi, but also because of the person who shouted out the genuine prince and general Xiangning.

The regiment, which had abandoned its artillery and some infantry, had already arrived here, and the scouts reported that the [-] troops of Chu Da Sima were just forty miles to the south.

It is surrounded by Chu City, which is a flat area. The Great Sima of Chu State only wanted to retreat quickly, and did not send enough scouts to scout within the range of his own control, and the marching speed was too fast, which caused the entire team to be pulled very fast. long.

Near the carriage, in a simple temporary command post, officers above the brigade in the legion were waiting for deployment tasks.

The Grand Sima of the State of Chu has not yet discovered that Shi has already run here from Yangxia. Judging from the situation of scouts and scouts, the retreat of the Grand Sima of Chu is extremely hasty. In addition, he thinks this is the hinterland of Chu, so he doesn't even have basic scouts. send.

The appropriate judgment is that Sima Chu is really in a hurry, rather than having any schemes.

As the saying goes, the premise of four liang to pull a thousand jin is that the people of four liang must first have the strength of a thousand jin, which is the same reason for the two armies to fight.

Obviously, the little soldiers in the hands of the Grand Sima of the Chu State were not enough to resist the army led by Shi Shi, so there was no possibility of luring the enemy to go deep. It could only be that he himself did not notice the danger because he was in a hurry to retreat.

Because luring the enemy to go deep requires the ability to annihilate the deep enemy, otherwise it is to let go of the body and wait for the enemy to ravage.

When deploying the task, I focused on two cities.

There are almost no hills here, and there is a plain. These two cities are in the west of Yangcheng and the south of Yinyang. They are places where supplies can be supplied. Mohist organizations are active there.

A city named Wufang.

This used to be the land of the Viscount Fangguo, and it was inherited from Yao's sacrifice, and it was the feudal kingdom of Danzhu, the son of Emperor Yao.Danzhu was originally sealed in Danshui, but because Shun replaced Yao and exiled Danzhu, he was sealed in Fang.

The house, the temple of Nuwa, was originally a specific noun.This place was originally an important sacrifice place for Nuwa, and the legend of Nuwa mending the sky also comes from a nearby mountain.

Dan Zhufeng continued the place name of Fang from then on. Later, after the Battle of Baiju, Helu’s younger brother defected to Chu State. The king of Chu granted him here and changed his name to Wufang—because Helu’s younger brother had a coup before defecting. , and claimed to be the king of Wu, so Chu State added the word Wu in front, which is a bit disgusting.

In later generations, there was a legend about falling to Caizhou on a snowy night. Because of World War I, Emperor Li Tang ordered to change its name to "Suiping".

At this time, this is a small city, where the Mo family has organized activities, and there are not many defenders.

The other place is Shangcai, the so-called master of Chen Cai in Chu State. It is a big city, and there are many Mohists operating secretly in the city.

In addition, this place has experienced the chaos of Prince Ding early on. After the peace, the power of the king and nobles here was cleaned up by the king of Chu. Business is developed, and the penetration of Mohism is also extremely serious.

The information here is very clear, and the troops dispatched in advance are trying to find a way to attack these two cities.

The main thing is to sneak attack on Wu Fang, because it is easier.And if Shangcai's sneak attack fails, he will pretend to attack the city to frighten him. The army can repair a little in Wufang, and then go straight to Xianghe.

He didn't pay attention to the 4 people of Chu Da Sima at all. The important thing was always to capture the Xianghehui and the Chu Army Corps to trick South Korea into sending troops early.

Wufang is very close to Shangcai, Cai is a county of Chu State, and Wufang is just a fiefdom of nobles.

At this point, it is necessary to divide the troops. I am going to let some infantry and combat engineers go west first, and take all the cavalry and 4 infantry to assault the [-] people of Chu Da Sima.
