warring states careerist

Chapter 947
It seems that all good plans may become a joke when the general trend cannot be determined.

Moreover, the plan is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Wei Guo has his own plans, Qi Qin also has his own interests, Wei Guo does not know Qi's embarrassing position in this matter.

While Prince Fu was plotting, the rest of the princes were already discussing the joint dispatch of troops.

This matter is the key to this alliance, but this key issue is not so easy to solve.

Even if the situation of cutting off Wei's flesh to feed other countries in order to send troops is temporarily put aside, there is still a very serious problem before the princes.

What about Chu?
Is it the restoration of the country?Or not to return to the country?
After the restoration of the country, where should the land be ceded as a thank you?

The purpose of the first war against Mo was of course to curb the threat and development of Mohism, otherwise the princes would be in dire straits, but it was obviously unrealistic to defeat them in one war, which caused Qi's position to be extremely wavering.

This is the plan for the joint dispatch of troops given by the important officials of Qin State.

Fifty thousand Qin soldiers left Luoyi to attack Danyang; thirty thousand Qin soldiers threatened Nanzheng.

Thirty thousand soldiers of Han, six thousand soldiers of Tianzi, ten thousand soldiers of Wei, and ten thousand soldiers of Zhao left Funiu Mountain and went south via Luyang and Fangcheng.

Marching separately, the Mohist army stationed in Chu can't do both. The two sides will meet in Wancheng and send Deng, Rang, and Chen soldiers to Hanshui.

Send envoys to Linhu, Loufan, and Donghu, and bribe them to attack Hetao, Gaoliu and other places in Yunzhong.

Yan Guo sent [-] troops, Zhongshan sent [-] troops, and Zhao Guo sent [-] troops to go north to attack Gaoliu Yunzhong.

The main force of the Qi army was [-], and [-] were left in Jubei, Jimo, Linzi and other places.

The remaining [-] will gather Zhao Jun [-], Han Jun [-], and Wei Jun [-] in Daliang, attack Shangqiu, and cover the Korean flank.

The State of Wei dispatched [-] troops to cooperate with some peasants and soldiers of the Qi army to attack Taoyi and Heshui.

[-] Han troops and [-] Wei troops marched out of Xu to attack Yangxia and threaten Dangshan.

The three armies on the eastern front marched separately, and when they arrived at the location, they encircled Shangqiu, broke through Dangshan, and threatened Pei, Feng, and Pengcheng.

This is the most perfect plan that the princes can come up with at this time—of course, if the purpose is to contain the Mohists and allow Qin and Han to expand.

However, as soon as this plan came out, Zhao, Qi, Zhongshan, Yan and other countries immediately stood up to oppose it.

In the eyes of Qi people, this plan is very poor.

Obviously, in this plan, the people of Qi will gnaw the hardest bones, and the Qi army will be used as bait to restrain the main force of Sishang, so that the Mo family will be unable to support Nanyang and break through South Korea, so that the coalition forces of Han, Qin, Zhao and Zhou can Victory on the Western Front.

But the question is, if the Western Front wins, what will Qi get?
Qi State sent tens of thousands of troops, risking another surprise attack on Linzi by the Mo family, just to serve as watchdogs for South Korea?
Taking Nanyang, Qin can get the land of Shangyu for six hundred miles, Nanzheng, and Wancheng; South Korea can get Luyang, Fangcheng, Ye, and even Xu.

What can Qi get?
The cities of Nanyang were newly occupied by the Mohists, and the hearts of the people may not be settled. If Qin and Han win, they can expand the territory and increase the population.

What about Qi?
The State of Qi wanted to attack the Mohists' heartland that had been in operation for 30 years, where everyone was a soldier, and it might take half a year to win a fortress city.

Once the main force on Mojiasi seizes the opportunity, they will be able to go around and cut off food, surround and attack together, and then go straight to Linzi. Who will save Qi at that time?

Even if they win the battle, Qi will at least lose tens of thousands of elites and take down Shangqiu and other places.

But Shangqiu is a plain, there is no danger to defend, and it only takes two years for the Mohist to regain it, and the people's aspirations to Mo can't be governed at all--the Mohistry in the southwest of Qi has become like that, let alone the state of Song. The base camp of the Mohists before their fortune.

Although Qihou is a bit stupid, he is not so stupid that he can be used as a dog by others.

Before Qihou hesitated in the two directions of swallowing Wei and attacking Mo, he also sent people to Sishang to look at the cities, people's hearts, morale, armaments, etc. in Sishang.

Therefore, the State of Qi resolutely opposed this plan of the Qin people, and angrily accused the Qin people of seeking self-interest, not for the benefit of alliances and allies. This plan will not work at all.

Therefore, with the northern line unchanged, Qi State proposed its own plan.

In Shangluo, the Qin army left [-] for defense; in Xiangcheng, Yangzhai and other heartlands of South Korea, South Korea left [-] for defense.

The rest of the army were all concentrated on the front lines of Chengyang, Daliang, and Yangxia.

[-] Qin troops and [-] Han troops went out of Yangxia to attack Jiaocheng and Xiangcheng, that is to say, they attacked Xuzhou via Bozhou and Huaibei in later generations.

[-] Wei Jun, [-] Wei Jun, [-] Zhao Jun, and [-] Qi Jun attacked the fortified areas such as Heshui and Taoyi, and advanced to Yutai and Peiyi.

The main force of the Qi army is [-], the Han army is [-], the Wei army is [-], the Zhao army is [-], and the Tianzi army is [-]. They gather in Daliang. , Dangshan.

After breaking through Peiyi on the top road and Xiangcheng on the bottom road, the three roads will besiege Pengcheng together.

If the Wei, Wei, and Zhao allied forces on the road cannot regularly capture Taoyi, then the main force of the Qi army on the center line will not move to prevent aggressive advances from being dumped.

If the Qin and Han coalition forces in the bottom lane cannot regularly capture Yangxia and Jiaocheng, then the main force of the Qi army in the middle lane will not attack Shangqiu, and it is better to prevent being surrounded by the Mohists' advantage of maneuvering inside.

If both the upper and lower roads attack smoothly, then the Qi army will enter Shangqiu when the upper road captures Shanfu and the lower road captures Qiaocheng.

All the countries put out all their strength and fight steadily in one year. If Taoyi, Shanfu, Shangqiu, and Qiaocheng can be stabilized within one year, then they can recruit all their forces to besiege Pengcheng and wipe out the foundation of the Mo family in Sishang in one fell swoop. .

At that time, whether the Mo family fled to Jianghan or crossed the river to Wuyue, they would be stable for at least a few decades.

Of course, there is no way to threaten the Qi State, and all countries can use the geographical advantages to monopolize Sishang after slaughtering those inked grassroots and people.

If the offensives of the upper and lower routes do not go well, or if one of the routes advances greedily, or is wiped out by the Mohists, the army of the third route will retreat immediately to defend the front lines of Daliang and Chengyang. Persevere, try to negotiate peace and restore the original status quo.

If it is extremely difficult and the main force is wiped out, then the countries will resign themselves to their fate and tidy up the soft wealth. Whether they voluntarily give up their fiefdom rights, or negotiate with the Mohists and voluntarily exile overseas, prepare in advance so that there is no way when it comes.

Qi's opinion immediately aroused opposition from Han, Qin, Zhao and other countries.

Qin Han asked Qi Guo, why didn't Qin Han gather in Daliang and Qi's army attacked the road?
Attack Yangxia, Xiangcheng, and Fulisai on the next road. This road is on the inside of the Mo family, and it is easy to be cut off from the logistics. The road along the way is smooth and easy to be surrounded by the Mo family. This is a dead end, and it is also the most prone to problems. a way.

Wei Guo and Zhao Guo asked Qi Guo again, if they go on the road, the Mo family has been in business for 30 years, and there are fortresses, forts, and new-style city defenses everywhere, but Qi Guo let the coalition forces with Wei and Zhao as the main force gnaw there. Regarding the use of explosives, not to mention Shanfu, the capture of Taoyi would cost tens of thousands.

Hearing this, the people of Qi sneered and said: "The main force is all concentrated on the eastern front, with a total of more than 30 people, but they can be numbered [-]. They are still afraid of fighting. According to the plan of you Koreans and Qin people, let the Qi people attack Sishang alone as the main force. , have you ever really regarded the people of Qi as allies?"

"Wei Zhao thought that the important towns along the way to attack Heshui and Taoyi suffered heavy losses. Could the Qi people be able to capture them? Han Qin thought that Laoshi's expedition would be easily seized by the Mohists who are good at outflanking and encircling. Don't the Qi people not be afraid? ?”

"The Mohist school is powerful, and the only way for all countries to completely eradicate the Mohist school and make them flee far away is possible. If you don't want it, it means that all the countries will perish. Why should Qi be afraid?"

The people of Qi believed that Han Qin's plan was to harm Qi, and Qi's plan was actually good for all the princes.

If it is true that Pengcheng is captured and the Mo family moves south, then the princes can be stable for a period of time, recuperating and thinking about fighting again.

Although this plan is also difficult-the three-way army needs to be uniform, and they must not be defeated once, and they must have the ability to defeat the main force of the Mohists in field battles. Can't be bothered...

Although there are many conditions, at least there is hope.

But if we fight according to Han Qin's method, it is equivalent to letting the Mohists beat up on the eastern front, using the entire Qi country as a sacrifice, in exchange for Han Qin occupying Nanyang and facing Jianghan.

Qi State does not have any spirit of internationalism, so it is impossible to use itself as a sacrifice to complete Han Qin's great cause.

Han Qin thinks that according to Qi's way of fighting, Han Qin labored on an expedition, and then Mao didn't get it, so he couldn't cut a few enclaves in Sishang as a fief to reward the nobles, right?That has no meaning at all to the monarchy of Han and Qin.

Besides, if we fight like Qi State, even if Nanyang's army stationed in Chu doesn't take the opportunity to go northward, once we give the Mohists two more years to integrate Jianghan and Nanyang... Even though Pengcheng Sishang is gone, the Mohists will occupy the land of Chu Nanyang Jianghan, then the pressure of the Mo family will all be on Qin and Han.

Besides, Han, Zhao, and Qin all knew in their hearts that the best outcome of this battle would at most be to restore Nanyang Jianghan and drive the Mo family back to the east.

Things like breaking Pengcheng and slaughtering Sishang are fantasies.

However, Han Zhaoqin understands, and Qi Guo naturally understands it too.

You all know that the capture of Pengcheng is a fantasy, but let Qi State attract the main force of the Mohists on the eastern front, but you attack the city on the western front and snatch the population and land, what is Qi State?Consuming manpower and financial resources, risking the extermination of the country, risking the possibility of revolutionary riots in Linzi, to contribute to the expansion of Han and Qin?

That being the case, there is no sincerity, so what else are you talking about?
If you want me to send troops from Qi State as a cover, it is not impossible, but you must show sincerity.Chengyang and Linqiu were all ceded to Qi State; Wei State was changed to Qi as the suzerain state, the forces of Wei and Han withdrew from Wei State, and Guiling and other cities west of Wei State were ceded to Qi.

Moreover, the Qi State will not declare war on the Mohists, but only poses a threat to the Mohism by not fighting, so that the Mohists dare not attack South Korea easily to prevent being copied by the Qi State.

Qi State can only do this, and it is impossible to do too much for the rest.Let Qi State fight with the Mo family on the eastern front, while Han Qin occupying land in Nanyang, don't even think about it.Since he was going to die, he dragged everyone to die together.
