Chapter 957
Wei Yang was at a disadvantage.
It's not that he's not as capable as Tian Ju, but because of the situation.
Diplomacy needs the support of national strength. If the national strength is strong enough, the situation is better than the people, and the cards are more than the people. Even the second-rate people can overwhelm the first-rate people.
Qin State is not qualified to negotiate with Qi State now, nor does it have the bargaining chip to slope Qi State.
The blame is that Qin's monarchs and ministers were too vigilant and reacted too quickly to the rise of the Mohists, and instead fell into a passive state.
Now tens of thousands of Qin troops are stationed in Shangdi, threatening Danyang, Danshui, and Hanshui. Taking Danyang will open the way to Nanyang Basin.
It is right to plan early.
But the plan was made too early, and everything was missed, which naturally led to a disadvantage in negotiations with allies.
It's the allies, not the enemies, who are really difficult to deal with.
If you reveal your truth too early in front of your allies, you will be very passive.
The Qin army is neither withdrawing nor fighting.
Withdrawing troops and forcing the Mo family to fight South Korea if South Korea does not support Qin, this bargaining chip is useless.
Because South Korea is not afraid, you Qin State has already missed the bottom one step ahead, and stationed troops in Shangdi. Even if you withdraw your troops, the Mohists must worry that you are pretending to retreat, and you may enter Nanyang while the army stationed in Chu is going northward on Funiu Mountain, so Don't dare to move lightly.
Allies who may drink together that night in this year and month may suddenly betray and even exterminate their clan, let alone a national war.
Qin State can't change South Korea's thinking, and it can't change Qi State's thinking.
The current national power of Qin State is still far from sweeping all over the world. In the first battle of Xihe, Wei State was defeated by Mo, Chu, and Zhao Fang after going the wrong way for 20 years. Martingale's words carry much less weight.
At this time, Wei Yang didn't know that in another time and space, he would be enfeoffed in the land of Shang, let alone that he would eventually rise up and die in the fief, nor would he know that the six hundred miles of Shang Yu's land would be a famous place in the future. Diplomatic hoax.
But he knew Tian Ju was talking nonsense.
Even if the Qi and Han coalition forces won, at most they would recover Jiaodong, and they had no spare power to take down Sishang, let alone send troops thousands of miles to fight Nanyang while Sishang was still threatening.
This nonsense completely angered Wei Yang, he stood up and shouted angrily: "Zhuzi is not enough to plan! In this way, the world will eventually be owned by the Mohists, and the ancestral temples of the princes will be destroyed!"
Tian Ju also got up and said: "Zhuzi still knows that there is a family first, then a country, and then a world. If you can't guard your family and defend your country, what about the world?"
"If Qin supports it, Qi will fight it; if Qin doesn't support it, Qi will still fight it. Qin people will deal with it themselves!"
Wei Yang let out a cold snort and left, Tian Ju waited for Wei Yang to leave, and heaved a long sigh.
He also knew that this battle was dangerous, but there was nothing he could do.
The idea of some ministers to make peace with the Mohists and cut off Wei Wei to make up for what they lost is simply extremely stupid.
Wei Weiqi is an old prince, they all play within the framework of the old rules, but the Mohists want to break the old rules, and there is no way to get along with them normally.
What's more, most of the officers in Qi's standing army are sealed in Jiaodong. If they attack Wei instead of Mohism, I'm afraid there will be great opinions in the army.
Besides, the Mohist’s ability to roll snowballs, the level of governing the country, confining wealth, and expanding the army, occupying one more city will result in more than a thousand soldiers. If the Mohist family wants to fight, it can threaten Qi at any time.
Only by attacking the land of Song Dynasty and fighting desperately, it is still possible to reverse the offensive and defensive trend.
Anyway, the role of Qin State is to contain the Mohist army stationed in Chu in Nanyang. Whether they take the initiative to attack or not is of little significance.
Offense and defense are different, and main attack and containment are also different. Qin's previous performance and military strength are sufficient to contain, and the safety of South Korea's western front can be guaranteed.
…………
After hearing the news that the Mo family had invaded Jiaodong, and the Qi State was planning to unite Wei, Wei, and Han to attack Song to save Linzi, Wei Gongzi was inexplicably excited.
The Mo family helped him a lot invisibly, at least the attitude of the Qi State was no longer so tough. Under the eyes of the Mo Family, as long as the Qi State chose to go to war with the Mo Family, it would be impossible to force the Wei State to go too far.
South Korea has promised Qi to send troops.
This immediately relieved the pressure Wei Guo had been under before.
South Korea previously advocated ceding the interests of Wei to allow Qin and Qi to send troops because the capital of South Korea was already under the threat of the Mohists.
At that time, the attitudes of various countries were still very unclear, because the Mohists seemed to be only attacking Chu, and there was still a possibility of peace.
Because of the possibility of making peace with the Mohists, the attitudes of all countries are not clear, and they all use the Mohism to negotiate a separate peace and withdraw from the alliance as a threat and as a bargaining capital.
That's why South Korea is impatient: You all quit the alliance, what should I do?Yang Zhai is just a hundred miles away from the Mohist control line.If South Korea is not destroyed, the capital of Wei State will be safe; if South Korea is not destroyed, the Mo family will not dare to attack Qin easily and expose it.
Although the countries may not be able to make peace with the Mohists, South Korea does not dare to bet that the countries will not make peace, so they can only agree to the conditions of the countries and help cut the flesh of Wei, the former big brother, before begging the countries to send troops.
it's good now.
The Mohists completely cut off the possibility of separate peace negotiations among countries, and the princes of Qi State and Jiaodong have all seen it.
In the past, the Mohists had to have a passable reason for conquests and conquests, but now there is only one simple and rude reason: to benefit the world.The world is for the benefit of the world, and the war is for non-offensive.
According to the old rules, Qi was not guilty.
But according to the new rules set by the Mohists, he is guilty.
Under the new rules, the Mo family is the referee for guilt or innocence.
Countries may not have fantasies about Mohism before, but they can use Mohism to fight for their own interests, and use peace talks to threaten South Korea to gain support.
Now, South Korea doesn't need to plead lowly, because the Mo family didn't attack South Korea first, but attacked Qi first.
In this way, the attitude of Qin State is no longer important: Qin State cannot advance or retreat, and the Mohists will not trust Qin State, so the Mohist School's army stationed in Chu was restrained by Qin State.
Since the main attack direction is on Sishang, the role and value of Wei State are also reflected.
Food and grass, folk husbands, logistics, etc., must be supported by Wei Guo.
Young Master Fu wiped away the tears he had lamented about the lack of diplomacy in a weak country, and immediately started wandering among the princes and ministers.
He wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Young Master Huan, distribute part of the benefits, win over the hearts of soldiers, and prepare for the post-war reform.
Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.
If this battle is lost, everyone will be finished.
But if he wins the battle, Wei Guo may rise to prominence.
So he wants to seize this opportunity.
On the one hand, the secret envoy spread the name to Pang Juan to prepare for the military coup; on the other hand, he started mediation with Han, Qi and other countries, and with the help of the threat of Mohism, Han, Qi, and Wei reached an agreement.
…………
Qi, Han, Wei, and Wei rushed out troops without waiting for the cooperation of Zhao, Yan, and Qin, which was actually quite dangerous.
However, as the active initiator of the war, Shi could not know from the very beginning that the Qi Congress would come to "encircle Wei and save Zhao".
He just wanted to buy time, and at least another year to completely digest Jianghan Nanyang Huaixi.
Therefore, without knowing Qi State's plan, it is natural to follow his own plan in order to mobilize the Qi army.
The current situation of the Mohists is dangerous on the western front, that is, on the side of Liuzhi. As long as they can buy time to pass the year safely and prevent the princes from launching an attack within a year, then the danger on the western front will be lifted. The northern princes can form a situation where east and west face each other and become horns of each other.
What he wants to mobilize is the Qi army, so that there will be a gap between Qi, Han, and Wei, and it will be difficult to twist into a single rope.
But beware of Han Wei Zhao Zhen attacking Sishang.
So in order to achieve the purpose of this transfer, the entire Mo family in Sishang started their performances and deceptions.
In mid-August, the overall situation in Jiaodong has been decided.
Jimo City, which invited gods and made up wives and concubines to enlist in the army, only defended for two days, and was breached before the end of the third day.
A total of [-] old muskets and three small cannons were collected, and the rest didn't even match the bronze spears.
If the Mohists were still in the era of cold weapons, Tian Zhongshou's methods might be able to hold on, but after all, times have changed.
With that little trick, they couldn't stop the Mo family's offensive.
After the city was broken, Tian Zhongshou committed suicide after slaughtering his wife, concubine and children.
There was a concubine who didn't want to die and wanted to survive, but Tian Zhongshou believed that after the city was broken, everyone deserved to die, which was disloyal to the king, and especially according to the Mohist style of work, if his concubine survived, he would have to remarry in the future, so he cheered up the chaos Among them, the concubine who was trying to escape was found and stabbed to death.
After this battle, the Mohists had completely occupied Zhucheng, Gaomi, and Jimo.
Afterwards, the main force of the Mohists near Shangqiu began to march eastward with great fanfare. In fact, after arriving near Peiyi, they concealed and repaired in the village that the Mohists had completely controlled for 30 years, while a large number of second-line reserve soldiers pretended to be heading towards Laiwu. .
Shi also personally led people to the direction of Laiwu, making the illusion that the army was moving slowly.
Some horses pulled fake wooden cannons behind them, and they walked slowly towards Laiwu every day.
All this is to lure Qi to return to the division, and at the same time to prevent the main force from being exhausted after a long march, and to guard against South Korea's possible invasion of Sishang to save Qi.
In the battle between Qi and Mo in the past, the Mo family fought a battle in Laiwu, and now they are pretending to capture Laiwu to threaten Linzi from the east and south.
The Propaganda Department is also at full strength, wantonly publicizing in the official newspapers.
Articles such as "Shangqiu's front line is as solid as gold" and "Smash the head of anyone who stops the great cause of the world" are written and published all day long.
There is a sense that the main force is about to break through Linzi while defending Songdi to the death.
In addition, many places in the Song Dynasty also began to mobilize the people to build cities, prepare for war, hold conferences, and mobilize.
For example, several cities near South Korea, Shangqiu in the Song Dynasty and other places are busy building city walls, and there are expressions of threatening South Korea not to attack Sishang rashly.
Soon after, Shi made a public appearance near Qufu, and made a speech in Lu Guoguo to carry out the great cause of benefiting the world to the end. Lu Hou didn't even dare to fart, and the people cheered.
All of this is trying to tell the princes that the Mo family is going to attack Linzi this time, and they are ready to defend in Shangqiu and other places. If Han Wei dares to invade Song, there will be no return.
Really captured Linzi, right now I have no interest.
Before Qi's main field force was wiped out, Shi did not intend to move Linzi at all. Linzi is a big city after all, and it is not easy to capture.
