Xu Ruo, who finally understood the meaning of the letter, burst into laughter.

"We understand even if the giant said this. Otherwise, we would be a little nervous."

"After all, you all know that in Si Shang, we do not recognize the principle of the kingdom under the world. When we go here to sign a contract with the nobles, we must rely on the principle of the principle of the kingdom under the world. It is really troubled."

The others were relieved. Although Xu Ruo spoke in a relaxed tone, everyone understood that this was a serious moral and legal issue.

It is a major premise to use any means that can be used to win the interests of the people.

It is also a major premise that it does not violate the bottom line of the Mohist family's morality.

When there are two major premises and conflicts arise, it is really difficult to deal with many things without a clear instruction.

At that time, I will fight hard here. After the battle, I will go back and get criticized again, saying that it is too compromise. I will admit that the law of patriarchal feudalism and feudalism under the world is the king's land, so I can only recognize it.

Since Shi wrote a letter to endorse them and gave guidance, everyone felt much more relaxed.

The person who presided over the meeting said at the end: "Do it with confidence and boldness, and it's okay to do anything. Since the Giant said that, it proves that the Giant will find a way to end it. Even if we are upset, we will not worry about our lives. Although we will never die for the sake of benefiting the world, we are not afraid of death, but we cannot take the initiative to die if we are fine."

…………

Shangqiu, Liuzhi, who was about to go to Taoyi, was saying goodbye to Shi, and before leaving, he had some words to ask Liuzhi for a few words.

The simple meals were very casually sitting, and both of them drank a little wine.

"This time I crossed the Ji River to attack Chengyang, Linqiu, and the Gou Bian of Wei Kingdom will follow. Just remember a sentence to tell Gou Bian and remind Gou Bian that if the Wei people retreated to Wei Kingdom, it would be equivalent to the Wei Kingdom participating in this war."

"In addition, this time I want to fight the feeling of the eagle catching the chicks, I want to shock Wei Han. I haven't fought with the people of Wei for many years, so I have to scare them."

Liuzhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, giant, I understand what you mean."

"Chengyang is close to Taoqiu and close to our rear. Just like we are fighting Dangshan, we are all considered to be fighting in the interior. Logistics, supplies, and personnel... are all sufficient."

Shi nodded and said, "That's what it means. If we fight Chengyang, we can quickly organize an elite force of about 50,000."

"However, if we attack Anyi and Luoyang, with our current military strength, logistics problems may only support us 30,000 people or even fewer, and we will be reluctant to use gunpowder or something."

"So, we must use this advantage of inside combat to let Wei see our strength... Although you and I know that we can now launch such an offensive within 300 miles, the people of Wei do not know. Their understanding of combat is still at the time when peasant soldiers can be summoned and individuals can fight with thirty kilograms of food."

"When they see our offensive in Chengyang, they will think that we will attack Anyi, Luoyang and even Xihe will have such ability, but it is not."

"The same thing, use more gunpowder and less life. The artillery first followed the continuous bombardment of three days, which made the Wei people feel scared."

Liu Finger nodded again, and after a look, he couldn't help asking: "Giant, beating Chengyang, in addition to intimidating Wei Han and signaling us to send troops to fulfill the non-aggressive power, do you have any other meaning?"

"After the fight... are you going to withdraw your troops?"

Shi chuckled, stared at Liuzhi for a few glances, and asked, "Do you still think you want to fight a few big battles in the Central Plains to weaken Wei Han's power first?"

From the strategic idea of ​​giving up the Song Dynasty to lure the enemy deep into the front and then flattening the front and making a big dumpling, Shi Shi felt that Liuzhi really wanted to fight several big battles in the Central Plains.

In terms of strategy, the Six Fingers recognize the general strategy of starting from the south and then the north, but he always felt that Wei and Han were a threat, so in order to reduce the pressure of being under the enemy from both sides when interfering in Chu in the future, it is better to fight Wei and Han a few battles in advance to weaken Wei and Han's power.

Liu Finger was silent for a moment, without denying it.

As he said: "In this battle of Chengyang, it is inevitable to withdraw troops. The situation is very complicated now. The battle between Xia does not mean that we fight with Wei and Han, but others only watch the fun. This time, we used Zheng State to intensify the conflict between Wei and Han, but the premise is that we deliberately tied our hands with a neutral country that was "non-attack", creating an illusion."

"We must consider Chu, Zhao, and Qin's attitude clearly. It's very complicated. You can think about it when you go back."

Shi took out a few peanuts from the plate and set them on the table and said, "Once the matter of Zheng State is over, in the eyes of the vassal state, we can only go three directions next."

“North, South, West.”

"Faced with the Central Plains in the western front, Chu gave up the Song State, which means that Chu State knew that its national strength was not enough to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains. He wanted to be on the defensive and chose to shrink. Wei, Chu and Han were likely to reach a consensus on the west side of ours. Don't look at them who could start a war for Zheng State today, once we are too strong, they can unite again immediately."

Shi took another chopstick, put it to the north, and placed two peanuts on the north side of the chopsticks.

Pointing at the chopsticks, "This is Jishui."

He pointed to the peanuts on the north side of the chopsticks and said, "This is Chengyang, Linqiu."

"Now, if we quickly conquered Chengyang and Linqiu and made an act of not withdrawing troops for the time being, who are you happy? Who are you worried?"

Liuzhi thought this question was too simple, and then thought it carefully and thought it was still very simple, so he said, "I am happy, and I am worried about Wei, Han, and Qi."

Shi nodded and smiled, "So, in fact, according to our general strategy, who should worry about the Zheng State Affairs after the Zheng State is over? Who should breathe a sigh of relief?"

The big strategy he mentioned was naturally to defend the north and attack the south, replicating the strategy of Sun Wuzi's three strange plans to penetrate Jianghan.

Liu Finger said: "That's the opposite."

Shi smiled and said, "So, we want to deceive the world. Wei Hanqi was worried and Chu Yue was relieved for the time being. In this way, Chengyang must fight."

"What does the Chu State Council think once Linqiu in Chengyang are captured? We will feel that we will develop northward in the future and connect the Yellow River, so as to connect us with the territory in Gaoliu Cloud through Zhongshan."

"but……"

Shi put a few more peanuts symbolizing Chengyang Linqiu and surrounded them, saying, "But once we express our idea of ​​going north, Chengyang Linqiu is a must-fight place that the Wei Kingdom cannot give up, and for us it will be a prominent place as if it were useless."

"If you occupy Linqiu in Chengyang, you can connect to the southwest of Qi and Lu in the east, connect to the Yellow River in the north, and attack the guards in the west, and run into the east of the Wei Kingdom. It is a plain with no danger to defend. The Wei Kingdom will inevitably be nervous, and at this time, they will try every means to return to Linqiu in Chengyang."

He pointed to the chopsticks symbolizing Jishui and said, "The Wei people would want to go back to Linqiu, Chengyang, and reach an alliance with Qi, and use their great energy, manpower and financial resources to build a defense line along the Jishui."

"Whether it is to build the Great Wall or build the fortress, they definitely don't want us to occupy this area that can threaten their hearts and divide Qi and Wei."

"If we do not show the meaning of going north, then this land is not very important to Wei State; if we want to show the meaning of going north, we must first take this land; if we take this land, then this land is extremely important to Wei State as a lifeline, then we can use this land to discuss many conditions with Wei State."

The Ji River is separated by the Ji River. The south is north of the Si Shui River controlled by the Mohist school and Taoqiu and other places, and the north is a large plain that is not dangerous to guard until the Yellow River.

When Chengyang and other places were "non-attack" on Si Shang, it was a prominent place for Wei to advance eastwardly to Qi; once the Mo family broke free from the constraints of non-attack, it was a weakness for Wei, which made the advantages of cavalry, infantry formation and artillery on Si infinitely magnify the weakness on the plains.

Similarly, just like the State of Song. If the Mohist family advances westward, then the State of Song is a place that the Mohist family must not give up; if the Mohist family wants to go north, then Chengyang is an excellent place for battles; but if the Mohist family wants to go south, then Song and Chengyang are both useless and weak points to divide the troops.

It would take several siege battles, forcing Wei Hanchu to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to build fortresses, Great Walls, new cities, and forced Wei Qi to build a defense line for Jishui.

Too much manpower and material resources will drag Wei into the abyss, making internal conflicts more intense, and making Wei unable to change to establish more standing troops like Xihezhan, making it possible to defend it to the death, but the attack will be insufficient.

As for the field forces of Wei, Qin will help the Mo family clean up. Based on appropriate judgment, the age of Wu Qi and others and the age of Qin Jun must be considered. Before the death of Wu Qishengchuo and other old ministers of this generation of outstanding achievements, Qin must regain the Xihe. This is a political issue, and it is also a key point in the complete determination of the rationality of the reform and the power of preventing the new emperor from ascending the throne.

Liuzhi thought about Shi's words, and seemed to understand and asked, "Then what should we exchange for Chengyang and Wei?"

Shi sighed and said, "For the lives of the comrades who were in Xinzheng's activities. After Xinzheng fell, the lives of the Zheng people who actively participated in our actions."

Liuzhi drank a glass of wine and said, "That's worth it. I hope that the comrades of Xinzheng will do their best to do whatever they want, and I will protect them from Chengyang."

Shi nodded and said, "So I said, this time you fight Chengyang, you must be ruthless and aggressive. You must force Gou Bian back, and the Wei people are not allowed to retreat to the Wei Kingdom, and you must arrest as much as you can, and don't fight a defeat, but fight annihilation war. By the way, you will demolish the city walls of Chengyang, Linqiu and Leixia."

Liufinged and said, "Will the Wei people be under pressure from Wei State and have to allow the Wei army to retreat to Wei State?"

Shi pointed at six fingers and said solemnly: "This is for you."

"In me?"

Liu Finger was stunned and said, "That's right, it's you. The more you attack, the faster you attack, the more it makes Wei feel that you are unstoppable. Then Wei will take the initiative to tell Wei to continue to be neutral and not allow the Wei army to transit. On the other hand, if you don't fight ruthlessly and shock enough, Wei will not abide by the rules and let the Wei army retreat to Wei."

Liu Finger suddenly realized, Shi smiled and said, "You beat him hard. Will Wei Dou Gongshu Zhu drag Wei Guo into the water and let you sing all the way to the Yellow River to divide the Wei Hedong into two? No, they will shout the rules of "non-attack, neutrality" and use the rules to force us not to enter the Wei Guo, and use the neutrality of Wei Guo as their strongest line of defense."

"On the other hand, you are not fighting hard enough. When Wei sees it, hey, it's not impossible to fight. Then drag Wei to fight you. What are you afraid of?"

"Remember, after conquering Chengyang Linqiu, I sent someone to the border of Qi to engage in friction, trying every means and aggressively, which gave Qi Wei a feeling: you are full of energy and want to hit people, but you have rules to make shackles, waiting for others to help you untie the shackles..."

"Chengyang is all old cities. It does not require parallel trench tactics, but cannons are bombarded. The logistics is close and transportation is easy. How many cannons can be transported? How much gunpowder can be used in a day? Wei Qi was desperate and dared not fight with us for the time being."

"Where is me, I will cooperate with you in the south, have a close conversation with the Chu people, and send some people to help Chu State knock on Wei Han. You will help me cheat the Chu people in the north, and we will go north in the future."

"I want Wei Hanqi to be honest for a few years and keep our rules. If you fight hard, they will attach great importance to the 'neutral and non-aggressive' rule, because you need to use this to restrict you from moving west. If you shout too much, they will also be very disciplined - to abide by the rules we set."

"It was the three families who divided the Jin Dynasty and tear apart the old rules of Zhou Li, and they had to fill the first place for the new rules themselves. You must start with this, and you must end with this."
