The Qi army wanted to retreat, but it was not that easy.

It takes time to assemble troops. During the assembly process, Daicheng's defenders attacked, dragging the Qi army's retreat.

When the main force of the raid on the north wing arrived, the Qi army retreated to only 2,000 to Yongqiu.

Afterwards, the Jiexuan Army headed south to Chengkuang, and according to the idea of ​​the sanctioned prisoners Mi, he defeated the Qi army besieged Chengkuang in one fell swoop according to the tactics of the cavalry raid.

When the news reached the main force of the coalition under Shangqiu City, the scouts of the coalition of the princes also discovered the main force of the Jiexuan Army in the northeast of Shangqiu.

For a moment, the princes were frightened and the emperor was panicked.

"Ru Zhi can do what he can" questions kept mentioning, and Han Hou said in surprise: "There is a great ambition for him. Is he going to eat us all? The Mo family's army is not in Laiwu at all, but is nearby!"

This news is like a bolt from the blue, although there is another possibility that this is also a suspicious soldier used to scare the coalition forces of the princes.

This possibility exists, but the princes could not believe it, but were worried that the Mohist school was ready to encircle and annihilate them.

This time, the coalition of princes dared to attack Shangqiu under the leadership of Qi, because it was because his lips were lost and his teeth were cold. If Qi was destroyed, Han and Wei would inevitably be unable to escape; it was also because the main field troops of the Mo family were outside, which gave the princes great confidence.

Although the news is not true or false, it is difficult to distinguish between false and true, the princes have to be cautious.

Shangqiu City is a plain. Even if you don’t know how many of the main forces of the Mo family are, the advantages of the Mo family’s artillery and cavalry can be fully utilized in such a large plain area.

The coalition of princes has concentrated a lot of bronze cannons this time, but the number of bronze cannons that the main force of the Mo family can mobilize is still too small.

The cavalry on Si left a deep impression on Wei Han in the battle of Yinyang, but this kind of cavalry is extremely expensive to train, and Wei Han cannot train too much.

If the main force of the Mo family really attacked and was about to encircle and annihilate them in Shangqiu City, the best way was to retreat.

From the beginning of this war, the Mohist school took advantage of the fear of the princes.

If the princes were not afraid, the suspicious army and empty city scheme in the direction of Yangxia would not be effective.

If you are not afraid, it is likely that the Korean army really thought that the Mohist family was afraid of war, and they could not only continue to advance, but also attack Hongshui and threaten Shangqiu.

The empty city plan is just a test. The result of the test is that the coalition of princes is actually very afraid of fighting with the Mo family in his heart, so there will be 30,000 Korean troops retreating back to Yangxia to defend. The main force of the coalition takes advantage of the main force of the Mo family that the choice is to sneak attack Shangqiu when the main force of the Mo family is not there.

Now it seems that this is a scam, and the princes are extremely worried.

The emperor was confused and had no choice but to know that if the main force of the princes was destroyed under Shangqiu City, the situation would be gone.

Although there was a shame that Duke Wen of Jin forced the emperor to hunt and join the alliance in the past, and now there are three families who divide the Jintian family to serve Qi, which is such a rude way of not taking Zhou Li seriously at all, after all, the princes in the face still have to give the emperor a little face, so it will not be too much.

The Mohist school is different. Their morality does not recognize the legitimacy of the hereditary emperor at all.

Once the main force of the vassal coalition was destroyed in Shangqiu, it means that an effective resistance force could no longer be organized from Shangqiu to Luoyang.

In the past, people from Chu were close to Luoyi and wanted to ask about the importance of the tripod. They said that there were 100,000 armors to observe China's policies. They could also say that there was no such thing as virtue but not the tripod. In fact, it had nothing to do with virtue but not the tripod. It was just that the Chu people were not strong enough to crush the princes in the north to cause public anger.

If the Mo family members approached Luoyang, the words "Being in virtue but not in the cauldron" alone could not stop them. In history, the First Emperor could not stop them, and of course, now it could not stop the Mo family, who had completely wiped out the field forces of the princes of the Central Plains in the field.

Moreover, according to the Mohist school, the emperor has no virtue and is illegal in hereditary history. The Mohist school does not recognize the basis of that virtue, so it is simply unreasonable.

Emperor Zhou was shocked. He wanted to capture Shangqiu and rob and get some spoils for money. Now it seems that he is afraid that not only will he not get the spoils, he may also be able to get them here.

"What should I do now?"

He not only asked his direct ministers, but also asked Han Duke Qi in the name of the emperor that the few thousand troops he brought were just making up the numbers, and the main force of the coalition was the Qi army.

Although the Duke of Qi did not know the military, there were military ministers in Qi, but it was not convenient to directly advise the emperor, because the vassal of the emperor's vassal of the emperor was not the vassal of the emperor. The nobles of Qi were loyal to the Duke of Qi except those who were arranged by the emperors of the king and the emperors of the king.

The Duke of Qi had already discussed with his ministers before, and said, "Now that he is returning to Mo, if the northeast direction is really the main force, the situation will be in danger."

"He has a great ambition and wants to kill the emperor in Shangqiu. Our army should retreat quickly."

Emperor Zhou was anxious and thought to myself that I still didn't know how to retreat? But where to retreat? How to retreat? If I had known that the main force of the Mo family had not gone to Laiwu in Si Shang, I wouldn't have even come.

The emperor said anxiously: "You are the ones who said they wanted to take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Mo family was not there to force Shangqiu, and you are the ones who said they were divided into troops to encircle Chengkuang, and Daicheng, and you are the ones who attack Shangqiu. Now you also have to make an idea."

Emperor Zhou's words did not mean to accuse him, he was just saying a fact.

The little soldiers in his hand were of no use at all. Even if he was the emperor, no one would listen to his own words, so how to withdraw his troops still had to listen to the princes' ideas.

But when the Duke of Qi heard these words, they seemed to be criticizing the Duke of Qi.

After all, this time the attack on Si Shang was strongly advocated by Qi State. After all, the purpose of attacking Si Shang was to suppress the Mo family for justice, but in fact, the realistic purpose was to force the Mo family to withdraw troops from Laiwu.

When the Emperor heard what the Emperor said, the Duke of Qi was very displeased, and did not care about the etiquette of the king and his subjects, and scolded: "Silence! Now that things have come to this point, why did the Emperor follow his wife's attitude, blame others, and regret it?"

Emperor Zhou was scolded and felt extremely aggrieved. He thought to himself that I didn’t mean that either. I just said that I hope you can come up with a solution. My soldiers are useless and I have never fought much. That’s what I mean.

After being scolded, I felt wronged, but I couldn't say anything.

But Han Hou understood the meaning of Qi Hou.

Now the siege of Daicheng has been lifted, with 5,000 Qi troops killed and 3,000 casualties, and the remaining ones have retreated into Yongqiu. The scouts reported that there were at least 10,000 Jiexuan troops there.

Now the 10,000 people have wiped out the 5,000 people near Chengkuang and lifted the siege of Chengkuang, which has led to a dangerous situation for the princes.

If you retreat south and meet with the 30,000 Korean troops, you will face a huge risk.

In Chengkuang, ten thousand people were likely to go south to Gucheng from Chengkuang to cut off the retreat of the princes. The main force of the Mo family came from the northeast, and by then, nearly 100,000 people were surrounded between Chengkuang, Yangxia and Zhecheng.

If the Mohist family is really the main force for forty miles away from the northeast, there are not many choices for the coalition forces to withdraw.

Or they retreated to Yongqiu through Ningling, between Chengkuang and Daicheng.

But in that case, the 30,000 people in South Korea will be completely ruined.

Now, the suspicious soldiers in Yangxia, the tens of thousands of people in Chengkuang, and the main force of the Mo family have completely surrounded the 30,000 Korean troops.

Once the main force of the coalition forces retreated through Ningling, the flanks of the 30,000 Korean troops will be completely exposed. At that time, the main force of the Mo family will go south, Chengkuang's army will surround them, and Chen and Ku County's soldiers will harass them, and the 30,000 Korean troops will undoubtedly die.

These 30,000 Korean troops are the pillar of South Korea. If South Korea recruits peasant soldiers, it can recruit 100,000. But today's war is no longer an era when gentlemen drive cars to fight against each other's soldiers and shaking flags and shouting. One hundred thousand farmers cannot match the 30,000 permanent troops at all.

If these 30,000 Korean troops are destroyed, South Korea will be completely over.

Han Hou immediately said: "You cannot withdraw your troops from Ningling! If you withdraw your troops from Ningling, the main force of the Mo family can leave Daicheng. Chengkuang's army blocks Duan Duan's army's way north, then our army is likely to be surrounded by the Mo family south of Dai, north of Chengkuang, and east of Yongqiu."

"If the main force is destroyed, the general situation will be gone."

He was afraid that the Qi people would say nonsense like a hero cutting his arm. Even if he cuts his arm, the one who cuts his arm is not the wrist of Qi, but the lifeblood of South Korea.

Han Hou didn't want to regard the lifeblood of South Korea as the trick of Qi.

When the situation was very good before, we could unite with the Zhou emperor, and the Korean army could use it as a right wing alone to cover it.

The situation is now tight, and Han Hou must first consider the fate of his 30,000 main forces.

Han Hou's words can be considered to be explained from the overall situation.

Daicheng surrounded but did not attack, Ningling surrounded but did not attack, Chengkuang had not yet captured, the main force of the coalition forces went straight to Shangqiu.

If you follow the path you came back the same way, the consequences of these three cities not being captured will appear.

The main force of the Mo family was very fast, much faster than the coalition forces of the princes. Now they were in the northeast direction. If the coalition forces returned the same route, the Mo family could send a vanguard to penetrate Yongqiu through Daicheng to block the retreating route of the coalition forces.

At that time, 30,000 Korean troops would be trapped in Yangxia, and the main force would be blocked in front of Yongqiu. The distance between the central army and the right wing would be no less than 200 miles away. In that case, it would be easily defeated by each one.

If the Mo family has a big appetite, they can choose to eat the main force of the coalition forces first, and then move south to siege Yangxia's 30,000 Korean troops.

If the Mo family's appetite was not that big, the main force of the coalition forces would withdraw, and from Yongqiu to Chengkuang to Yangxia would not be able to hinder the main force of the Mo family.

At that time, the 10,000 Mohist army in Chengkuang blocked the way for Yangxia and the Han army to retreat, and the main force of the Mohist army would first be easy to take over.

No matter which one, there are great risks.

And the 30,000 people in Yangxia were always the 30,000 people in the Korean army.

If Qi flees violently and the main force of the Mo family cannot catch up with him, Yang Xia’s Korean army will be over.

Han Hou wanted to remind the Duke of Qi that although this time it was for the sake of justice, it was actually for the sake of Qi.

If it weren't for the danger in Linzi, the coalition forces would not have gone directly to Shangqiu without conquering Chengkuang, Daicheng and Ningling.

It is precisely because Linzi is in danger that the coalition forces have to attack and advance rashly in order to achieve strategic goals.

He was only halfway through this, and Qi Chen sneered: "If Duan Duan of the right-wing main force said that the main force of Si was in Zhecheng and Kuxian, how could it be like this?"

"His wrong judgment led to the army thinking that the Mo family's troops on Si were all near Yangxia and Shangqiu was empty, which made the coalition forces not attack Chengkuang Ning Tomb and attack Shangqiu."

When the Koreans heard this, they cursed: "The people of Qi are shameless! Didn't South Korea send troops to save Qi this time?"
Chapter completed!
