warring states careerist

Chapter 970
It is easy to cause problems when the princes jointly send troops.

From a distance, Zhu Zhiwu retreated from Qin, and the Qin and Jin coalition forces had their own ideas, and finally Zheng Guo survived; in the battle of Jinyang, the three families rebelled against Zhao, and the allies stabbed their knives.

It should have appeared in history, but it is not possible now that Han Zhao's Wei State succession right interfered in the war.

Originally, when Wei Jian died in history, the son Huan claimed that there was a strong claim that Han and Zhao sent troops to interfere in the succession war of Wei State, Zhao State wanted to destroy Wei State; South Korea wanted to weaken Wei State, which caused the two families of Han and Zhao to curse each other.

Zhao Guo scolded South Korea for being short-sighted and insincere. Zheng Guo, who hadn't digested and swallowed it, had no intention of containing Wei Guo before, and his short-sightedness would inevitably suffer disaster in the future.

South Korea scolded Zhao Guo for being ambitious, killing Wei Guo and making Zhao Guo bigger, and then he would invade the Central Plains. South Korea said that Zhao Guo was treating South Korea as a fool. Why did South Korea fulfill Zhao Guo's wish and kill Wei Guo?
The two families scolded each other for a day, but they retreated in anger, Wei Guo survived, and finally there was a battle where Wei Guo besieged Handan and Sun Bintian avoided fame.

The current situation is somewhat similar, but not the same.That was before the big victory, and now it is before the big defeat, so it is different.

When Han and Qi courtiers were scolding each other, Sun Zhongzi, a close minister of the emperor, got up and said: "Now the world is at stake, the universe is in danger, and the Mo family is the enemy of the princes. At this time and this situation, if you unite, you will live, and if you divide, you will die. At this time, it is not time to curse and regret, but to discuss the strategy of retreating!"

From the emperor to the near ministers, no one chose to fight in the field after hearing that the Mohist main force might be in the northeast, because they were afraid and did not dare to fight in the field.

All that needs to be discussed is the retreat, and the direction in which to retreat.

The army besieging Shangqiu had just started, and it would take at least a day and a half to regroup.

The siege of a city is not about tens of thousands of troops squatting together, but divided into many camps, digging and building fortifications to prepare vegetation.

This is a siege formation. If you want to withdraw the troops, you need to gather the troops first and withdraw in order, otherwise it may become a rout.

Now the forward of the Mohist main force is already [-] miles away, and the main force is at most about [-] miles away. If it is forced to march, it will surely arrive in two days.

Now every moment of delay is more dangerous.

Qi State tends to go back along the original route now, while South Korea tends to go south to join Yangxia's Han army, twist into a ball, and withdraw from Yangxia's encirclement.

Seeing what Sun Zhongzi said, the people of Qi restrained their sarcasm, and said to the people of Han: "Now there is a Mohist army near Yangxia. Before the three thousand Zhao people were wiped out, Duan Duan thought it was Sishang staying behind. The judgment of the main force."

"If you go south, Jing Yangxia retreats into Xu...it will be very difficult."

"What if the Mohist partial division near Yangxia is blocked in Hongshui halfway? Once blocked for two days, the main Mohist force will follow up, and [-] troops will be surrounded by Hongshui. What can we do?"

"Furthermore, if we retreat from Yangxia to Xu, we must go through Gucheng. Now Chengkuang still has tens of thousands of Mohists who are part of the army. If our army moves, they will first attack Gucheng and block it, so what will happen?"

Han Chen hurriedly said: "You can send Duan Duan to send troops to strengthen the city."

Qi Chen said, "It's more than two hundred miles from Shangqiu to Yangxia, and a hundred miles from Yangxia to Gucheng. The [-] troops are drawn into a line, stretching on a front line that is three hundred miles long. The Koreans are afraid that the Mohists will not be able to do it." Is it easy to intersperse, truncate and break?"

"Today's strategy, the only way is for the strong men to cut their wrists, abandon Yang Xia's division, and quickly retreat the main force. There are only more than ten thousand Mohist troops between Chengkuang, Daicheng, and Yongqiu. We can gather the main force to break through and retreat to Yongqiu with the momentum of thunder. , everything can be done.”

"Order Duan Duan to go north to Chengkuang and attack Chengkuang's enemies so that Chengkuang's Mohists can't stop our main force."

In this way, it is tantamount to selling South Korea's [-] troops in Yangxia.

The 3 people from Beishan attacked Chengkuang, and the Mohists in Chengkuang were about to fight with them. At that time, the main force of the coalition forces took advantage of the opportunity of fighting Chengkuang, and quickly passed through the most dangerous narrow passage between Daicheng and Chengkuang to return to Yong mound.

The Qi people did not intend to cheat South Korea, but this time the attack on Sishang was basically conceived with the main force of the Mohists near Laiwu.

I only thought about how to attack, but didn't think about how to defend at all.

The purpose of the division and reorganization at the beginning was also to contain each other's worries, so that the troops in all directions can work hard for the same purpose.

Once the situation changes from offense to defense, it will be very different.

If Yangxia's [-] Korean troops were allowed to return to Gucheng, the battle line would be too long. The [-] Korean troops might escape, but the main force of the coalition forces might be blocked in the middle.

If it is said to retreat separately, the Han army retreated through Gucheng; the main force retreated to Yongqiu along the same road... Then under the background that the Mohists have been raiding partial divisions and gathering in Chengkuang, the initiative of the battle will be in the hands of the Mohists.

If the Mo family wanted to attack the main force of the coalition forces, they gave up Gucheng to intercept the main force; if the Mo family wanted to attack the right wing of the Han army, they gave up Chengkuang to intercept the Han army.

Once the initiative of the battle is held by the enemy, it will be extremely disadvantageous for one's own side to be passive.

If war cannot mobilize others but can only be mobilized by others, it will easily fall into crisis.

The Qi people's thinking is correct. The best way now is for the Han army to go north to attack Chengkuang, forcing the partial division of the Mo family to fight the Han army, so as to buy time for the main force of the coalition forces to retreat from the north of Chengkuang to Yongqiu.

It is impossible for the South Korean side to agree to this proposal. In this way, the main force of the coalition forces will be withdrawn, but the main force of the Korean army will be completely buried in Chengkuang.

If the main force of South Korea is buried in Chengkuang, after the Qi army retreats, they can return to Linzi, and take advantage of the opportunity of the main force of the Mohists to take back Jiaodong, forming a confrontation.

But what about South Korea?

Is South Korea sure that Qi State will give up Linzi, and let Qi State's main force withdraw from Shangqiu be stationed in Yongqiu and Daliang to prevent the Mohists from taking the opportunity to attack Han and Wei?

It is absolutely impossible, without even thinking about it, once the main force of the Qi army withdraws to Yongqiu, it will immediately abandon Yongqiu and return to Linzi, regain Jiaodong, and rely on Pingyin, Jiaodong and other places to confront the Mohists.

Qi State will not ignore its capital for South Korea.

Even if it is the oath now, it is impossible for South Korea to believe that the oath is for the future.

Therefore, South Korea must ensure that its main field force can withdraw, so that Qi will not allow South Korea to be destroyed for its own small profits.

Withdrawing back means that if Qi wants to seek a longer-term future, it must consider South Korea's attitude.

If they can’t withdraw, Qi State will probably break the pot and let Han Wei be captured by the Mohists, and even take advantage of the opportunity of the Mohist attack on Han Wei to take back Jiaodong.

Qi State will not be ashamed of abandoning South Korea's [-] troops, because from the beginning to the end, Qihou and his ministers' definition of this war is not to fight against ink and save Qi, but South Korea itself needs to defend its homeland.If Qi State were to perish, Han would not survive either.

Therefore, Qi State can openly say that the overall situation is the most important thing.

However, the words of the strong man cutting off his wrists and abandoning his car to protect his handsome man completely angered the Koreans.

The premise of abandoning the car to protect the handsome man is two people playing chess. The current situation is that Qi Guo takes the Korean handsome man as his own army and abandons it.

The atmosphere at this moment is already tense, and every courtier is about to follow the example of the second sword-questioning meeting in the past. The emperor's close minister boiled Sun Zhongzi and said, "Why don't you compromise?"

"If Han dies, Qi will not survive; if Qi dies, Han will also be in danger."

"Although the Mohists are good at field battles, and although they know how to fight, if the central army joins forces with the right wing, there will be nearly [-] soldiers. It may not be possible to break through."

"It's like dumplings on Sishang. If there are too many fillings, the skin will be easily broken."

"Why don't you let the Yangxia Han army go north and the Chinese army go south, and they will meet in Hongshui."

Hanhou Chongchen sneered and said, "Hundreds of thousands of people in Zhou haven't used their swords, how do Zhou people know about the battle? They only know about some deceitful plots."

"When the three Jins attacked Qi, the Zhou people did not send troops, but only sent their ministers to follow. In the battle of Pingyin, the Zhou people killed [-] enemies, but the Zhou people had no success. But after killing the enemy, the Zhou people used deceitful techniques to make Zhujing watch Asking the Marquis of Qi to redeem the corpse is in fact secretly helping the Tian family, knowing that the Marquis of Qi will not be able to redeem the corpse if he has no money or power, there is a way to disturb people's hearts, but there is no way to defeat the enemy."

This is talking about the old case of the three Jins attacking Qi 30 years ago, in which Zhou Tianzi's courtiers played a not very honorable role, which led to many consequences.

These words are already slapping Zhou Tianzi in the face, but Zhou Tianzi can't speak, because he is only a few thousand soldiers and horses now, and he has to rely on the princes.

The state of Zhou has not fought a war for many years, and there are still some capable people who engage in conspiracy and fraud. After all, the nobles have too many family backgrounds, so it is really impossible to talk about war.

Hanhou Chongchen satirized Zhou Tianzi's close ministers, as the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog, and he had to coax Zhou Tianzi before, but now for this sake, Zhou Tianzi is really a fart.

Once South Korea dies, Luoyang will open its door wide, and you can enter Luo from the direction of Luyang in the south via Yichuan; you can also enter Luo in the west from Xinzheng in the east.

So for this sake, there is no need to consider the face of the emperor.

Joining forces together, isn't that stupid?
The main marching force was bloated and slow in the first place, and they retreated slowly after joining forces in Hongshui. Was it because they were afraid that the Mo family would not be able to chase them easily?
The emperor was humiliated, and Sun Zhongzi was also angry, but at this time he was inconvenient to use righteousness and propriety to reason, but sneered and said: "Although I don't know about soldiers, I know that you are afraid of ink like a tiger. I was so scared that I didn't understand why." gone."

The Han people were about to get angry when Sun Zhongzi rushed to ask, "I don't know soldiers, but I know people's hearts."

"Just think about it, gentlemen, the main force of Laizhishi is nearby, not in Laiwu. Since he is in Sishang, he allows us to drive straight in and destroy Xu, Yangxia and other important towns. What did he do?"

"If he wants to eat all the central army and the right wing, he can wait until the right wing has penetrated into the front line of Kuxian, and then choose to encircle him. Isn't it easier?"

"If he can eat it all in one bite, why send suspicious soldiers to disturb Yangxia Hanshi?"

"Although I don't know about soldiers, I know from people's hearts that Kai Zhishi is unwilling or unwilling to eat up the central army and the right wing at once, so he deployed suspicious soldiers near Yangxia. This prompted the central army to break away from the right wing and rush into Shangqiu."

"Nowadays, you are helpless and frightened. You don't know how to fight, so you might as well do the opposite. What Kai Zhishi wants to do, we will do it instead. Maybe we can win."

"He doesn't want to eat the central army and the right wing at once, so we let the central army and the right wing meet in Hongshui and retreat slowly."
