Tian Wu had already understood it completely.

The Mohist family was good at defending the city, and the people on the Si Shang were strong. In addition, the Mohist family has been here for twenty years. They are really like tigers, brave and warlike but not afraid of death. The rules are completely different from those elsewhere, so it is difficult to implement the original rule, and people are dissatisfied.

Once the State of Qi starts war alone from the Mo family and wants to occupy Si Shang in an all-round way, it will pay 100,000 yuan to make a decisive battle, and pay 200,000 or even more to guard it in the future. This is something that the State of Qi cannot bear.

Just Peiyi and Pengcheng are already the most powerful city today. With the Mo family's technique of defending the city, there are less than 80,000 soldiers, and I am afraid that I will not dare to think about breaking these two cities.

If Qi and Mo families really go to war, Wei, Yan, Han, Zhao and other countries will be happy.

After the hard work was on an expedition, the State of Qi was killed and injured. At that time, Wei, Zhao and Han advanced eastward and Yan people went south, and Qi was in danger.

Tian Wu thought Tian Qing’s metaphor was very good. For the Mo family, Feidi was a daughter, but the price seemed to be just a fight against Fei’s doctor. Even if it failed, it was just a matter of nails.

The doctor Pingyin wanted to join forces with Wei and Han to join Yu Chengyang, which in the Mo family seemed to stab the heart of the Mo family: Chengyang is dozens of miles away from the Heshui River, which is the key to marching along the river to Si Shang Peiyi.

Therefore, the Mo family gave up Wucheng and moved the main force of the Yishi Master to Heshui, hoping to take Chengyang.

This is indeed the move to give up Wucheng. The Linzi army will arrive near Wucheng in a few days. Wucheng is the northern gate of Feiguo, and the Mo family does not attack, which means that the Mo family has lost the initiative in Feiguo. At that time, Chengyang will divide his troops and there seems to be no other way except to sign a contract to agree to the policy of the Feiguo doctor's return to Qi.

For Qi, this battle could not only obtain Fei, encircle Lu, and thus make Lu vassals; it could also put Wei and Mo families in a state of war, making the Mo families an important force to resist Wei's command to extend his hands to Si.

If Qi can occupy Fei State and Chengyang is seized by the Mo family, excluding Wei State from Si Shang, then when the time comes, Qi State can conquer Si Shang at any time, just wait for a suitable opportunity...such as the Mo family's civil strife.

As for the current conquering Si Shang, the Qi State had no such idea at all, including Tian and Tian Wu, they didn't even dare to think about it.

In the past twenty years of Si Shang, the customs, rules, habits, as well as the indoctrination of the Mohist school, seeking profit, natural power, and the terrible people's will, to conquer Si Shang... Unless it is possible for it to be a coalition force of various countries, the first thing Qi State itself has to worry about is not that it cannot conquer Peiyi and Pengcheng, but that Yan and Jin stabbed the knife behind the scenes.

Tian Wu understood and said, "You are a talented person. Otherwise, what I want to do will probably cause losses to Qi and make Wei profit!"

Tian Qing thought to himself: You have not grown all your hair yet, so you have to learn a lot.

But he said, "Divid your worries for the king, and the duty of the minister. I am a common man, so I will naturally seek profit for the common man."

Then, a letter from Doctor Pingyin was sent to tell me about this matter, and only let him go between Jishui and Wenshui. If Chengyang had a letter of help, he would only say that he was approaching, but he delayed his action.

He also asked the Mo family to fight back. If he heard that the Mo family was close to Jishui and Wenshui, he would not care about how many people there were in the Mo family. He would just form a formation to defend or retreat into the city and not fight.

If the Mo family had Chengyang, then they would retreat to Fan or Xue Ling, and they would not retreat, so that the Mo family would not dare to separate troops from guarding Chengyang.

…………

The tenth day began to count on the day when the news that the Mohist family attacked Chengyang out of Huling; the sixth day after the news that Tian Qing, the commander of the Linzi Army of Qi State, and Tian Wu, the prince of the Prince of the Qi State, ordered the doctor Pingyin not to save Chengyang.

Doctor Pingyin finally received a letter from the head commander of the Linzi Army. His location is now north of Fanyi in Qi, about the later generations between Yanggu County and Taiqian County, and is still a hundred miles away from Chengyang.

Sixty thousand troops collected from Pingyin, Fei and Lixia were stationed here. In fact, the Pingyin Legion had already chosen to stay before Tian Qing's letter arrived two days ago.

It was not that Doctor Pingyin considered the future interests between Qi and Wei from the perspective of the superiors, but because in just nine days, various news emerged one after another, and he could not make accurate judgments, and even did not know what the Mo family was going to do.

On the fifth day from the day the Mohist school went to war, the news that the main force of the Mohist schoolmaster left Huling and seemed to be sieging Chengyang reached the ears of Doctor Pingyin.

The news was conclusive. Not only did the Mohist family's own propaganda along the way, but there were also many heavy copper cannons used for siege, with cattle pulling, and it was said that there were several large copper cannons that required ten cows to pull.

But on the day he received the news that the Mo family might be besieging Chengyang, that is, the fifth day after the Mo family went to war, he received the news again.

It is said that the Mohist roars were everywhere, moving in Onozawa, Wuyan, Gu, Wenshui and other places, ranging from thousands to hundreds, and coming and going like the wind, all of which were equipped with muskets and riding horses.

The priests of various cities did not dare to fight, so they could only choose to defend behind closed doors. There may be rumors that these cavalry were supply lines that were preparing to attack the Pingyin Legion.

Moreover, a day ago in Pinglu, these Mo family's cavalry showed weakness and lured 3,000 villagers from Pinglu Zaishu to pursue them. They did not want to be ambushed. The farmers scattered as soon as they rushed. The Mo family's cavalry actually captured Pinglu, distributed the grain from the treasury with the people, and then evacuated them. They asked the local people how to go from here to Pingyin.

As a result, the nearby towns were even more panicked and they were afraid to leave behind, and the news about the roaming was even more difficult to know.

At that time, Doctor Pingyin judged that these Mohist cavalry might have wanted to harass his marches and attacked and supplies, thereby delaying his advancement and thus gaining time for the Mohist cavalry to break through Chengyang.

But on the seventh day from the day when the Mohist family went to war, news came again that the main force of the Mohist family advanced along Onozawa and did not go to Chengyang. Tens of thousands of people went straight to Jishui.

However, news came from Chengyang that day, saying that the Mo family was trying to conquer the city with tens of thousands of copper cannons weighing tens of thousands of kilograms. One cannon was destroyed for more than ten miles, and the city walls were covered with powder, so they were afraid that they could not defend them. They asked the doctor Pingyin to rescue quickly, otherwise Chengyang would be in danger.

All of these messages are contradictory.

But Doctor Pingyin confirmed that the Mohist Yishi had only five main forces on the western front, which totaled more than 40,000 people. How could there be tens of thousands of attacking Chengyang and tens of thousands of them bypassing Onozawa and heading straight for Jishui?

Which one is true? Which one is false?

Scouts often come back rarely, and those who come back cannot tell how many people there are in the Mo family, nor do they know the specific direction of Mo family's actions.

Since the news of attacking Chengyang along the Heshui River, Doctor Pingyin has actually been a little confused. It is said that the main force of the Mohist charity master should be gathered in Wucheng now.

After all, more than ten days ago, news said that civilians were constantly transporting food and grass from Teng to Wucheng. The Seventh Division of the Mo family was also building camps, obviously waiting for the main force of the Yishi Division to arrive and siege Wucheng together to choose to fight in Wucheng.

So far, it has been confirmed that the main force of the Mo family has indeed advanced along the Heshui River, but did they attack Chengyang? Or did they move to the Jishui River Basin? Or did they really divide their troops, while attacking the Pingyin Doctor to Chengyang to Huihe, while attacking Chengyang?

This has made Doctor Pingyin at a loss and can only choose to be careful and move slowly every day. When camping early, when passing by rivers and valleys, he or she must send scouts to check carefully to prevent fraud.

Today, he finally received a letter from the head coach of the Linzi Army, Tian Qing, but Doctor Pingyin was not as optimistic as Tian Qing.

Tian Qing's letter told him not to contact the Mo family and let the Mo family conquer Chengyang. As long as he delayed the matter of Feiguo to solve it, he would make great contributions. Never support Chengyang, let alone march too quickly.

Doctor Pingyin really didn't think about being greedy for merit and making a rash progress. He had already started to be cautious three days ago. When the news of Chengyang being surrounded came, he didn't think it was his opportunity to make achievements.

However, did the Mo family really just divide their troops to stop him from moving forward and want to attack Chengyang?

He has more than 60,000 soldiers in his hands and 40,000 main forces of the Mo family. It seems that there are different numbers, but in the eyes of Doctor Pingyin, he is few and the Mo family is crowded.

If the Mo family really divides troops to surround Chengyang and then divides troops to block themselves from approaching Chengyang, then they will not be afraid.

But what if... the Mo family is not for Chengyang at all?

Now it is only twenty miles away from Fanyi and only a hundred miles away from Chengyang. There are Xue Ling and other towns behind him. Now should we continue to move forward to Fanyi rely on the city to watch? Or should we choose to retreat to Xue Ling and other places now, the farther away from the Mo family, the better?

Tian Qing's letter asked him to be careful, but he also made him threaten Cheng Yang, so that the main forces of the Mo family did not dare to retreat to Wucheng, and at most they could only divide their troops.

In this case, you need to go to Fanyi to watch. If the distance is too far, the news is not smooth. If the main force of the Mo family retreats from Chengyang and is too far away, not to mention the credit, if the main force of the Mo family returns to Wucheng and the decisive battle with the Linzi Legion, it leads to failure, he may also be asked about the crime of the main force of the Mo family calmly withdrawing.

Moreover, if there is a failure, there will still be an alliance between Qi and Wei, and there will always be someone who will take the blame for Chengyang's affairs.

Who will recite it?

I could take out the letter from Tian Qing to himself, saying that Tian Qing didn't allow himself to save Chengyang, so I slipped back to Xue Ling? However, Tian Qing's letter was not so straightforward, but said that the scheming was suitable and should not be easily advanced. As for the real purpose and the saying that friendly troops were not moved in trouble, they were all passed down by the confidants, and it was useless to take it out.

Since we cannot say that if we fail to hold accountable, in order to calm Wei Han's anger, we will be treated as a sacrifice.

If you move forward to Fanyi, then the situation will be much easier to say.

If Chengyang is really broken, it would be said that the Mohist righteous master is hindering, and he will do his best to move forward. This cannot be considered his own sin.

Moreover, if the main force of the Mo family retreats to Wucheng, if he can regain Chengyang, it will be a great achievement. Will it be returned to Wei Han or what? If he can't make it in Qi in the future, he can still escape to Wei Han based on his relationship today.

However, what if the Mohist family attacked Chengyang was fake, but wanted to find an opportunity to annihilate the 60,000 people in their hands?

When I left Fanyi, I had no place to run and there was no one around to rescue me. If I retreated to Huling, there were at least doctors from the surrounding cities to rescue me.

When I arrived at Fan Yi, the Mo family's goal was to run towards Maling and count on Wei to rescue him? But now the Huangcheng, Fanyang and other places in Wei State west of Maling are planning to siege Handan. The troops are all in Yedi and Handan, and there are also Yellow River blocking them. If the Mo family chased Maling, the Yellow River is behind them. The Wei people are unable to rescue him, and they are afraid that they will die even more miserable.

While he was hesitating, several other scouts were rewarded and brought two news that shocked him.

"The Mo family's roars have been investigated clearly. They entered the Yizhuang built by the merchants before and were scattered between Wen and Ji."

"The Mohist charity army appeared in the Nanji River yesterday, only forty miles away from our army. The scouts tried their best to check and confirmed that they were the main force of the Mohist family. There were tens of thousands of people, and they all had no pot and stoves. They only used fried rice and fried noodles for food."

The Tian Qingzhixin, who was as if he was in trouble in the hands of Doctor Pingyin, suddenly fell to the ground, and was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He didn't have to look at the map of cities anymore. The Mo family's true intentions have finally confessed to the world!

Doctor Pingyin almost ordered in a tone of shouting: "I order the entire army to retreat north to A, Gu immediately! I will make an urgent attempt to win the valley. Doctor A, collect people, hold on to the city and do not move easily."
