Once it is wiped out, they go straight to Xianghe Pass and sneak attack and seize the Pass before the Chu people can react.

Because the monarchs on the front line of the Chu State's Fangcheng are definitely organizing defense against Liuzhi, that is, defense in the direction of Wancheng.

The borders of Chu State were all guarding against the north, not the Nanyang area. Therefore, the vassals of Chu State could only seize the time to rebuild defense and recruit troops.

Moreover, he estimated that the army of the Chu State's Grand Sima did not require too much force at all. Ten thousand cavalry and ten thousand infantry were enough, or even ten thousand elite cavalry were enough.

While rushing to attack the Grand Sima of Chu, if the scouts would have a chance to repay, he would not hesitate to directly ask ten thousand infans and combat engineers to attack Xianghe.

Xianghe is only a hundred miles away from Wancheng. Once you succeed, you can get along with Liuzhi.

Unlike what the Grand Sima of Chu thought, Shi had no intention of closing the door and beating the dog to capture the throne of Chu in one go, because it would be impossible for him to hinder the rule of Chu.

Unlike the three years expected by the Grand Sima of Chu, the number of iron seeds and cadres invested by the Mohist family in the Jianghan area of ​​Chu was actually accumulating for a long time.

Once the land is divided, not to mention the title of the Chu State, it is impossible for the King of Chu to personally go over and ask the people to hand over the land.

Moreover, he was not interested in the idea of ​​taking over the defense of Chu State as the Grand Sima of Chu State.

If he really wanted to form an effective defense system from Danyang to Luyang and then to Xianghe, relying on the Chu Great Wall to form an effective defense system, he would probably have to add another 50,000 troops to support Nanyang, and he would not be able to change so many.

If you have multiples everywhere, you will have fewer everywhere.

People live and land lose, and people live and land.

He still understands these two principles.

Therefore, from the beginning, he had no idea of ​​taking over Chu Great Wall.

This time his purpose was not the vassals of Chu State at all, but to open up the transportation line with Nanyang and lure South Korea to send troops to protect himself before the princes gathered.

This is a matter of placing hope on South Korea to make mistakes, that is, opening up the Nanyang transportation line and leaving some cavalry for the six fingers is the primary purpose; South Korea sent troops to find opportunities to annihilate South Korea's field legion to force the alliance of princes to collapse directly before it was established, which is an unexpected joy.

If Nanyang encounters difficulties in the future, the solution will not be to support Nanyang, but to attack Daliang from Shangqiu and threaten Wei Han's confidant.

It is the stupidest choice to rely on supporting the 50,000 new forces of the Nanyang Army stationed in Chu to completely take over the defense line of the Chu Great Wall.

Logistics supply, terrain and human hearts are not superior. If these 50,000 troops are on Si, they can do a great job of capturing Daliang and threatening Wei and Han; but if they are placed in Nanyang, they will become stupid to divide the troops and defend.

Once the Daliang is seized and threatens South Korea, the crisis in Nanyang will be lifted. How could Han Wei sit on the verge of his heart and help the Chu State restore the country?

Therefore, from the beginning, the essence of the Mohist school's Xiangyang two-part strategy was to attack instead of defense. As long as the Si was not lost, it would be equivalent to a thorn inserted between Wei, Han and Qi.

In order to achieve this goal, Gao Liuyunzhong can be given up, Nanzheng can be given up, and even began to migrate the iron smelting craftsmen from Wancheng south to Eyi.

The purpose was to destroy the Chu Navy, relying on the advantages of the navy, shrink its defense, use Xiangyang as a meat grinder, and lure Wei, Han and Qin into Xiangfan.

Once the front line is extended, and once there is a little movement on the eastern front, the coalition of princes will collapse.

At that time, even if Qin can fight, it will be hard to support it.

The so-called Nine Barriers in the World, in fact, for the Mohists at this time, the only useful one was the Jingruan Fortress Group.

It was a large fortress group built between the Danshui and Hanshui of Chu State, Ruanzhe and Yuanye.

Because these fortresses are all round, when the Han Dynasty pipa was introduced to the Central Plains, the Han people saw the appearance of the pipa and gave it the name "Ruan" because it looked very similar to the fortress of Chu.

This is a very important fortress area of ​​the Mohist Xiangyang defense line. Because it is upstream of Xiangfan, it is blocking the Han River and Dan River, and the Qin State's logistics supply can only rely on Dan River.

To attack Xiangfan, you must get Jing Ruan.

If you want to get Jing Ruan, you must have a navy army.

And the Qin navy...

Therefore, it is actually completely different from what the Grand Sima of Chu State and his advisers think.

The Mohist family's defense of Chu land depends on the Han River and Tongbai Mountain, rather than the Funiu Mountain and Chu Fortress.

The Nanyang Basin itself is something to be given up.

The reason why they sent troops was not to close the door and fight the dog, but to threaten South Korea after capturing Xianghe, forcing South Korea to send troops without sufficient preparation.

If the troops are not sent, then it will be left to the six-fingered cavalry. While the remaining troops retreat, some infantry will be transferred.

The two divisions in Shenxi went north to Pingyu, strengthened the defense of Pingyu and Chendi, and covered the flanks for the future decisive battle on the Eastern Front.
