Chapter 199 Capture the Army (1)
Along the Wenshui River, south of Mount Tai.
I am in charge of Boyi and coordinated the war between Qi and the Mohist families. For many days, I have been in great relief and joy.
The Wei State had sent an envoy to Chengyang and arrived in Chengyang. It was a foregone conclusion that the Wei State and the Mo family had signed a contract.
The State of Lu sent a doctor Li Ji to Pengcheng, and the Duke of Lu abdicated and visited the fish in Yutai, including the conditions that the State of Lu could no longer provide food to the Qi army.
Tens of thousands of troops of Qi were crowded in the mountainous areas between Wenshui, Yishui and Zibo, and could not advance or retreat. Laiwu's defense had been strengthened, and Tian Qing failed to attack several times.
In the direction of Linzi, Prince Yan of Qi had already secretly sent someone to contact the Mo family, and Bei said that his uncle was not, and it seemed that the coup in Linzi was not far away.
Just as Sun Pu and others expected Shi to defeat the Linzi Legion, the prince of Qi State also hoped that the entire Linzi Legion would be destroyed, thus completely dismantling the power of his younger brother and uncle and paving the way for his coup success.
Now, a noose has reached towards Tian Qing Gongziwu's Linzi Legion, and has now been tightened.
On the eastern front, the Qi army in the direction of Jucheng did not dare to move around. The Mo family Xiliu had the strength to log in directly near Jucheng. Once the Jucheng army was launched, the Mo family Xiliu could directly attack Jucheng.
On the southern front, the changes in Lu State were imminent. Another part of the main force of the charity army led by Gong Zaoye was stationed in Lu State, and he could harass the Linzi Legion's retreat at any time.
The northern line and along the Wenshui coast were all under the control of the Mo family, and Liang's father, who was south of the Wenshui River, also became an inextricable thorn that the Mo family was stuck in Tian Qing's army's mouth.
The land reform along the Ji River coast has been carried out vigorously, and the Wei and Han allied forces have given up the idea of attacking against the Mo family. The Wei and Mo families are about to make peace, and the Chu State launched another attack in Chen, and the Wei State dare not move.
Now that the Mohist family has no seven inches, it has inferred any actions that Tian Qing can do.
Logistics, with the progress of land reform and the harvest of Sumai, grain is not a problem for the Mohist school.
As for the supply lines that run through Heshui, Jishui and Sishui, the Qilinzi Legion needs to march for three or four hundred miles to break. This is impossible.
The only Wei Kingdom, who has the ability to cut off the supply line, is now unable to take care of itself.
Le Yang committed suicide, and all the soldiers in the fief Lingshou returned to his Sun Lechi. The cavalry of Zhongshan cooperated with the mercenary infantry funded by merchants to win consecutive battles. After receiving the news of the Mo family's battle at Jishui, Zhao completely gave up the idea of making peace with Wei, and the conditions proposed by Wei were unacceptable. Chu was determined to win Chen and Cai, and the prince was sure to be alone. Wu Qi of Qin had already entered Qin, and the city was Chongquan, Luoyin, and Wei was attacked from all sides. At this time, he did not dare to be martyred to maintain the "ritual" of the world. He was divided by Qin, Chu, Zhao, and Zhao, and went to provoke the Mo family.
Now there is only one way left for Tian Hezhi’s minister Tian Qing, to conquer Laiwu and withdraw from Laiwu to Linzi.
But there seems to be another way left to Tian Qing, which is to wait for the princes in the world to mediate and preserve their strength.
It seems that the Mo family occupied many cities in Qi State, but their strength was not dispersed and there was no need to put out fires everywhere.
In contrast, Tian Qing's Linzi Army needed to divide at least 40,000 troops to guard against the Lu State and the Ministry of Public Affairs, and was worried that the retreat would be seized.
It is necessary to divide 10,000 troops to guard the food road and beware of the Mohist family cutting off the supply line between Ju and the army.
We need to be divided into troops to guard against the active attacks of Liang's father towards the Mo family's protruding units, and we need to be divided into troops to garrison the few remaining cities to collect more food and supplies: the Linzi Army and Liang's father's troops were concentrated in several towns, and the logistics could not be supported at all. We could only plunder the people as much as possible, otherwise the army would be on the verge of collapse.
In this case, it seems that the Mo family occupied many cities of Qi, but once the Wei State makes peace, at least 30,000 to 35,000 soldiers can be taken out here and there, and Hetian Qing will have a decisive battle.
Tian Qing, who seemed to have 70,000 Linzi army plus Liang's father, had nearly 100,000 soldiers in Feidi, but only 40,000 people could be used for mobile field battles, and only 40,000 to 50,000 people could be used for decisive battles.
He is waiting for it in a hurry.
The peace treaty between the Wei and the Mo family was not the time for war to be launched. The treaty was just a piece of paper and could be torn down at any time.
But if the legions in the direction of Daliang of Wei began to move to fight with Chu, it would prove that the Wei State and the Mo family had made real peace. That was when he could be confident and boldly mobilized all his troops to fight a decisive battle.
The news from those land reformers along the Wenshui coast all hoped that Linzi Legion could be solved before the autumn harvest.
Why don’t you think so?
First, this can make land reform and grassroots organization construction in the Wenshui area more smooth.
Second, once the autumn harvest is harvested, I am afraid that Tian Qing's army will be able to support it for a while, and the situation in the world is changing. At this time, the decisive battle is often decided within three to five days, and I don't want to delay it anymore, so as not to have an accident.
But he could only choose not to hurry and use a no-rush attitude to force Tian Qing to hurry.
I believe that Tian Qing and Tian Wu will definitely be anxious, especially after the news of land reform came out.
Because land reform means that the Mohist school seems to want to take root in the Wenshui River and Jishui River, and the Mohist school's ability to govern and build is obvious to all.
Thinking from the perspective of others, I felt that if I were Tian Qing, considering that from the south of the Tailai Mountains, the upper reaches of the Ji River, the southwest of Qi, and the south of the Great Wall, nearly 200,000 people with household registration were controlled by the Mo family, and the Mo family issued an order to punish the unjust, so I was afraid that I would be unable to sleep or eat.
…………
I guessed that Tian Qing and Tian Wu have been in a bad mood for more than a month, especially after the news that the Mohist family had been rumored to sign the order to punish the unjust.
The purpose of Tuwu City was achieved tactically, but in fact, it failed strategically.
Tactically, it is to delay the pursuit speed of the Mohist Ministry of Public Affairs and get out quickly.
But strategically, the purpose of delaying the Ministry of Public Construction and Metallurgical was to quickly pass through Lu and return to Laiwu before the right army could react, so that it could withdraw to Linzi.
But unexpectedly, the Ministry of Public Arts was indeed delayed in tactical terms, but the Mo family on the strategic front rushed to capture Laiwu in front of them and cut off the Linzi army's way back to Linzi.
In fact, this time difference is only five or six days, but it is these five or six days that completely determine the current dilemma of the Linzi Legion.
If Laiwu is in hand, you can retreat to Linzi, and if you advance, you can coerce the Mohist family from the northern line to attack Linzi.
Laiwu was in the Mohist family and could not retreat, nor did he dare to move around, and was surrounded on all sides.
Now Liang's father is also occupied by the Mo family, which is the protruding part of the south of the Wenshui River.
The northeast direction of Liangfu is Laiwu. The actual position of the Qi army is within a narrow range east of Liangfu, south of Laiwu, and west of Yishui.
It looks very empty on all sides, but it cannot make any difference on all sides.
It is not impossible to cross the Yimeng Mountains on the eastern front, but the speed of action must be slow. The Ministry of Public Arts and Metallurgical Affairs can directly penetrate from Lu to Yishui to intercept it. If it is blocked by the Ministry of Education and Metallurgical Affairs who are chasing behind it in the mountainous area, there is no possibility of defeat except for a big defeat.
Going north to Laiwu, the Mo family occupied by the Mo family who was good at defending the city, said another thing. It is rumored that the command post of the Mo family was settled in Boyi. Boyi was south of Mount Tai, very close to Liang's father. Once Laiwu was in danger, the Mo family army gathered Liang's father and inserted into the rear of the Linzi army. If they attacked Laiwu, they could not capture the rear of the Liang family. At that time, there was no possibility of the entire army being destroyed.
The attack on Liang's father in the west is useless. Liang's father can attack or defend in the hands of the Mo family. However, if he is in the hands of the Qi army, he cannot cut off the Wenshui transportation line and has no ability to threaten the Mo family's supply areas, and he has to divide his troops to defend.
When he went south, the attitude of Lu State was not discussed. Wucheng was slaughtered and Feidi had no place to settle down. Even if he went to Feidi, what could he do next? Relying on his homesickness, no fighting spirit, and fear, the soldiers who were shocked by the Mo family's unparalleled city guarding technique for twenty years went to attack Peixian and Pengcheng?
Si Shang hasn’t mobilized all the time.
The strategic significance of the Wucheng massacre was not achieved. Laiwu was not in his hands, and he was also accused of being a slut. The Mo family issued an order to punish the unjust rule... This was really a failure to steal chickens and completely killed himself.
The news from Linzi also made Tian Wu very uneasy.
When my cousin faced the problem of the unjust order, the solution he gave was to hope that countries would mediate to save their younger brother. How could this be saved?
Tian Wu thought to himself, the Mo family members will never die, they will not be afraid of death and love money for their righteousness, believe that their righteousness will not be shaken, and they will hope that countries will mediate?
It is known to everyone in the world that in order to maintain its righteousness, the Mohist family will die even if they do not die!
If you really want to mediate among countries, you will be afraid that there will be no room for improvement.
He couldn't help but feel angry, thinking that his father is kind and filial, his brothers are kind and loving, and his surname is the same. Do you actually want me to die?
In history, he killed his cousin with his own hands, but it has not happened now, so he can't help but feel that he is wronged.
His father also heard news that he was heartbroken recently, and this seemed to be a family disease. The Tian family had heartache from above. Tian Wu, who later died of "discovering diseases and avoiding doctors", was still young at this time, but he also knew some of his family's affairs and was even more worried.
I am not the prince.
The authentic prince is his cousin.
I have to come to power through a coup.
But the coup must be in the capital. Once your father dies and your cousin succeeds in taking office, even if you have a coup, you will be afraid that it will be useless.
His fief is in Weishui, and the Linzi Legion he now controls is from Linzi. Once his cousin takes office, the members of this legion will definitely not follow him, but will choose to go home.
If you don’t have righteousness in your hands, it’s hard to achieve success.
Tian Qing had previously opposed the rapid return to Linzi, which was based on the occupation of Laiwu.
If Laiwu is in hand and does not return to Linzi, then my cousin will not dare to make a coup. If the coup is made, tens of thousands of Linzi army will immediately return to the army and kill him, and the victory will be sure to be successful.
But now Laiwu is not in hand, and tens of thousands of troops are within a hundred miles. What can happen even if the Linzi coup is in a coup?
Besides, it seems now that my cousin needs a coup?
My cousin is a genuine prince. As long as my father dies, he will be upright. On the contrary, if his father wants to create opportunities for him, he either lives for a few more years, or he will fight his life before he dies and launches a coup to kill the prince...
