Chapter 534
After arriving at Father Liang, the vendor went to a food shop in the city, and after a few conversations, he handed the note he had written to someone in the darkroom.
When he was leaving, he was still driving the ox cart full of goods like the rest of the traders, and followed behind the army of Qi State.
Either this way or that, all kinds of ways and channels, from Linzi to Pingyin and then to Chengyang, either bright or dark, are like a huge spider web, and the center of this spider web is It's Teng Di.
The situation is now very clear.
Outside Qi State, Wei State's southern army came out of Daliang and attacked Yangxia of Chu State. The King of Chu immediately returned to his army and chose to confront the Wei people.
South Korea hoarded a large number of troops in Yingshui, threatening Fenxing, the frontier of Chu State, and at the same time concentrated part of its main force in Yangdi, preparing to take the opportunity to crusade against Zheng State. Part of the land of Zheng State was lost.
The battle of restoring the country of Zhongshan is in full swing. Gong Zizhi just concentrated his troops in some cities to guard. With the help of the strength of those merchants and the conflicts between Wei and Zhao, Zhongshan has already established a firm foothold in some cities on the tributaries of the Yellow River. , the army is being recruited.
Handan of Zhao State was besieged, Wei Xihe's army marched northward to Zhao State, Zhao Gongzi Chao and the rebels were also gathering, making a gesture of threatening Zhongmou.
After analyzing and summarizing all kinds of these external intelligences, they are presented to the right person one by one.
From the perspective of the external environment, Wei Guo has absolutely no power to provide more troops in this battle of intervention, and there is also news from Pengcheng that Wei Guo has secretly sent envoys to talk about "reason" with the Mohists. , In fact, this is a signal: I hope the Mohists will not participate in the dispute between Wei and Chu.
External conditions have matured, and internal opportunities have come.
In February, the Marquis of Lu voted for Qi as the doctor of Fei Guo. This was an internal political matter of Qi, and he agreed to borrow the way from Qi.
The Mohists immediately sent envoys to express their anger, but Lu Hou Jixian avoided seeing him on the grounds of illness, and only asked the young master to come forward to meet the Mohist envoys.
When Luhou and Jixian were sons, Mozi once suggested to investigate carefully to see clearly what they were like. Jixian's ability to be Luhou also has something to do with what Mozi said back then.
Young Master Fen said that his father really couldn't understand the meaning of non-aggression, and he understood the anger of the Mohists, but after all, he was a minister and a son, and he could only persuade his father to change his mind, and his father was sick again. No one bothers Yun Yun.
In fact, Marquis Lu also sent someone to secretly contact Qi, saying that Lu did not agree with Fei's riots, and was worried that it would endanger the territory of Lu.
Ji Xian is getting old, so if Qi wins, then Lu can still choose to be a semi-vassal state of Qi; and if the Mo family wins, then Gongzi Fen can also be supported by the Mo family, so that he will not turn his face.
On the day when the [-] troops led by Qi Liang's father entered the territory of Lu State, the Mo family announced in a high-profile manner that Qi State had entered the border of the non-aggressive alliance, and strongly demanded that the Qi people return.
So again and again, the Qi people just pretended not to hear it, and still "struggled with reason", saying that those officials from Fei State voted for Qi, then this is the land of Qi State.
Then the Qi State kicked the ball to the Mohist side, and the envoys of the Qi people made a big announcement from the cities of various countries along the road of the Lu State, only saying: It is a dispute between the Mohist family and the Qi State whether those doctors are in charge of the Fei State or the Qi State.However, the country of Lu is innocent, and it is now the spring planting season. If the innocent people of the country of Lu suffer from the war, it is really unbearable.
Therefore, I hope that if the Mohists believe that it is a matter of the country of Fei, they will not prevent the war in the country of Fei and prevent the innocent Lu people from being implicated.
The news spread along the way, and everyone knew it along the way.
The Mohists were silent at first, but after a few days they finally sent envoys along the way to declare: Although Qi State invaded Fei State for selfish desires without reason, Lu State's innocent words were still right after all.
Since the Mohists regard benefiting the world as their own responsibility, they cannot ignore the pain of the people of Lu State in the spring planting season, so they announce that they will not send troops to fight Qi State within the territory of Lu State.
At the same time, an ultimatum is issued, hoping that Marquis Qi can reflect on this as an unjust war. If he can retreat at the border, then he will be awakened. Otherwise, the Mo family will have to fulfill the obligation of the non-offensive alliance. .
At that time, all the people in Qi Lu Sishang praised the benevolence and righteousness of the Mo family, and cursed the hypocrisy of the Qi people. Many people said that the Mo family had achieved the ultimate, but Tian's greed had no limit, and I was afraid that the Qi people would definitely cross the border.
There were also some scholars who heard the words and sighed: "The Mohists, it is the benevolence of women, not the benevolence, who are bound by their own righteousness. Now everyone knows the heart of the people, but the Mohist still strictly guards against it. Righteousness, don't gather a large army to destroy the Qi army led by Father Liang in the territory of Lu State, and wait until the Qi people enter Wucheng to join the nobles of Fei State, and the casualties will be even greater..."
At the beginning of March, the Mohists announced that they would not send troops to the Lu State to fight with Qi, and the news that they hoped that the Qi State could rein in the precipice spread throughout Qi Lusi, and kicked the ball back to the Qi State.
However, Qi State did not "rein in the precipice" in the end, or it could be said that the Mohists never expected to be able to rein in Qi State just by reasoning. In early March, Qi State's reinforcements from Dr. Liang's father entered Wucheng.
On the same day, Ji Sunluan, the new ruler of the Fei Kingdom, invited the Mohists to fulfill their obligations as a non-aggressive alliance and expel the Qi people based on the result of a collegial meeting of the sages elected by the citizens of the Fei Kingdom. He hoped that the Mohists would not forget their original promise.
At the same time, it was announced that in order to facilitate the non-offensive alliance to better defend against the capture of the unjust king, Fei Guo handed over the military power to the Mohists, and the Mohists would lead the army.
Almost at the same time, the Mohists announced that they would fulfill the obligations of the Non-Offensive Alliance, counting several major crimes of injustice committed by the Qi State.
It seems that the Mohists gave up the opportunity to annihilate the father of Liang in the state of Lu, so that the reinforcements of the father of Liang and the nobles of the Fei state in Wucheng were reconciled, but they won the trust and respect of the scholars all over the world. Dayi, there is really no flaw in this matter.
And the propaganda machine of the Mohist school was also in full swing, using the method of punishing the heart, saying that Qi Guo said that the Lu country was innocent at the beginning, but in fact he did not have the people of the Lu country in his heart, but used the benevolence and righteousness of the Mohist school to escape Liang's father. The fate of the doctor being wiped out by the volunteers.
It is too easy for people to choose to believe this kind of heartbreaking words: just a few years ago, Qi State had just attacked the most land of Lu State, and at that time, I didn't see that Qihou had any unbearable heart to love the people of Lu State.
On the surface, both sides in this confrontation got what they wanted, and made a choice after weighing the gains and losses.
Qi State lost the prestige of a big country, and became the target of criticism by many people in the market.
However, the most precious opportunity was obtained, so that the volunteers of the Mohists gathered and entered the State of Lu, and the matter of defeating the father of Liang in the State of Lu came to naught, and successfully joined forces with the nobles of the Fei State in Wucheng, making the defense of Wucheng seem to be able to Stop the three-month siege of the Mohist volunteers.
The reverse is also the same, the Mo family seems to have lost the possibility of defeating the intervention army of the Qi state in the territory of the state of Lu, and won the trust and admiration of the world, which made the people of the world believe that the Mo family gave up this rare opportunity for the sake of the innocent Lu people. They don't want to hurt innocent people.
Although some women's benevolent sighs, and there are some emotions in the army, the overall situation is still stable.
In fact, the Mohists had no intention of annihilating the [-] reinforcements of Father Liang in the territory of Lu State at all. Passed up this opportunity and made a big deal out of it.
Just after this confrontation, when the Mohist family declared Qiqi to declare war, Dr. Wei Guo Chengyang said that he must take care of Fei Guo's affairs, and he must not let Wei Guo's land fall into the hands of others.
In the case of "out of righteous indignation without Wei Hou's permission", part of Wei Han's troops gathered in Chengyang, about [-].
Almost at the same time, more than 500 grassroots officials of the Mohist School quickly entered the southern part of Feiguo, and began to check the fiefdoms, properties, and manors of the fugitive nobles, count the population, distribute cattle and iron, carry out land reform, and organize spring plowing.
The Seventh Division of the Rebels stationed in Tandi quickly entered the country of Fei after taking an oath, joined forces with the volunteers formed by the citizens of the capital of Fei, and defeated a small part of the coalition forces of the Qi and nobles in a field battle near Wucheng, causing them to retreat into the country. Wucheng defense.The Seventh Division began to clear the various small fortresses arranged by those who had learned the art of defending the city from the Mohists.
After several days of fierce attack, they could not break through the city, so they stationed and besieged outside the city, dug trenches, and built camps.Made a long-term siege posture.
At the beginning of April, the main force of the Mohists began to send scouts to the direction of Fei Guo frequently. A large number of peasants transported food and fodder to Fei Guo along Tengdi. The division retreated back to Fang Yu, as if they wanted to rendezvous with the main force, and did not want to face the Wei and Han coalition forces in the direction of Chengyang.
At the same time, the main force in the direction of Linzi in the Qi State has crossed Mount Tai and Wenshui, and is marching towards the Qilu border, precisely to support Wucheng.
The Qi army in the direction of Pingyin was also assembled, and marched along Jishui towards Chengyang, intending to join forces with the Wei and Han coalition forces in the direction of Chengyang.
So far, the world is in chaos.
The eyes of people all over the world are focused on Wei Zhao's turning his face and the battle of Sishang. Many people have made judgments about the situation in Sishang.
After the third division retreated along Taoqiu to Fangyu, those who knew the news all made judgments: the seventh division of the Mohists and the people's righteous divisions of the country of Fei could not capture Wucheng, and the Mohist will keep the city's untold legacy. The result of spreading secrets to the world as the will of heaven is to ask for trouble.
The third division retreated from Taoqiu to join forces with the main force of the Mo family in Tengdi, preparing to besiege Wucheng with all their strength, abandoning their left wing towards Surabaya, and trying to capture Wucheng before Chengyang's army invaded Surabaya.
Because the Mohists are proud of their city defense skills, which is well-known in the world, so based on the most normal judgment, the Mohists are going to use their main force to break through Wucheng, and then quickly repair it, leaving a small number of troops in Wucheng to block Qi. Linzi army.
The main force will return to Tengdi after breaking through Wucheng, and prepare for a decisive battle with the Qi, Wei and Han coalition forces in the direction of Chengyang and Pingyin, so that relying on the defense of Wucheng and the victory of Surabaya, Qi will retreat.
All of a sudden, Feiguo Wucheng became the focus of the Battle of Sishang. Those who paid attention to this matter all wanted to know: Can Wucheng be able to support the arrival of the Linzi army of Qi under the attack of the main force of the Mohist rebels?
If it can be supported, then the situation of the Mo family will be completely dangerous.At that time, the main force of the Qi army will be in Wucheng, and the volunteers will be exhausted due to the defense of Wucheng. Once the battle is defeated, the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms in the direction of Chengyang can drive straight along Heshui and Surabaya, threatening the hinterland of Mohism.
Even if it is not a defeat, but a tie, and each withdraws troops, then the Mo family's situation is just as dangerous.
At that time, the Mohists must divide their troops to defend against the advance in the direction of Chengyang; once the troops are divided, the main force of the Qi army in the direction of Wucheng will gain an advantage, and the Mohists can only retreat steadily. At that time, the Mohist forces will be divided into two.
If the Mohists want to win, there is only one possibility: before the Linzi Army of the State of Qi arrives in Wucheng, they will break through Wucheng and organize and complete the defense of Wucheng. Yang's Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms, but also to ensure that the small number of troops left in Wucheng can withstand the siege of the main force of Qi.
This situation seems to have been doomed the moment the Mohists gave up the reinforcements to annihilate Father Liang in Lu State with the benevolence of a woman.
