Shangwen just smiled and said nothing.
"I don't know, where is the second senior brother going?" Shangwen asked this question curiously, and Shangwen himself didn't even know his own achievements.
"We are here to open up the guerrilla zone." The second senior brother said with a smile.
"Open up the guerrilla zone." Shang Wen exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes. In the southern area, there is already a large guerrilla zone. And the scale is still expanding. In an extreme time, I heard that the number of people has reached tens of thousands. The logistics supply line of the Chu army is basically about to be destroyed. Cut it off." The second senior brother said.
"We saw that there was nothing usable in the south. We ran to the north." The second brother said.
"What?" Shangwen exclaimed in surprise.
"Guerrilla zone?" Shangwen exclaimed in surprise.He really didn't think of it.Qi State actually has a guerrilla zone in the south.This surprised Shangwen, listening to the development trend, it was very fast.But what surprised Shangwen even more was that guerrilla was a vocabulary invented in Qin.The specific tactics were also invented in Qin State, and the guerrilla zone is probably not simply imitated by the people of Qi State.This made Shang Wen feel a great shock.
"Then, second senior brother, can you talk about the guerrilla zone?" Shangwen was very interested in the guerrilla zone.
"Okay." The second senior brother seemed willing to talk about the guerrilla zone.
Afterwards, the second brother introduced the development of the guerrilla zone to Shangwen.It turned out that Ying Yu's military expansion plan was constantly affected.The influence of guerrillas is growing.The number of guerrillas is increasing, and many Qi people who are hiding quickly join the guerrillas, because in the mountains, many people will be starved to death, but the guerrillas can intercept the logistics supply line of the Chu army. food.The food is enough to give them a great hope of survival. Not only can they survive, but the most important thing is that they can beat the Chu army. The anger of revenge has attracted many Qi people to participate. Therefore, the scale of the guerrillas is increasing. Under Ying Yu's influence, more and more people joined the guerrillas, and various places followed suit, and various guerrillas were established one after another.Originally, the Mohists planned to attack the Chu army in the south, but not many people responded, but Yingyu’s guerrillas had a great influence. Under the acquiescence, the Mohists joined the guerrillas to help expand the guerrilla area.The guerrilla zone in the south developed rapidly because it was close to the logistics supply line of the Chu army.The guerrilla zone expanded very fast.Therefore, the Mohists chose to develop in the north.
It was only at this time that Shangwen realized what was happening in the outside world.
And in a barracks in the south of the Chu army.Several generals of the Chu army were gloomy.
"What happened recently? Our convoy was frequently looted. Even if we took action, we suffered heavy losses. This incident is very strange." A general of the Chu army with an arm injury said.
"Yes. If we continue to lose like this, we will not be able to send these materials up. We will lose our heads when the time comes." Another general said anxiously.His face was unusually pale.
"No, this matter must be reported as soon as possible, otherwise we will be in danger." A Chu army general with a bushy beard patted his thigh and shouted.
"The people of Qi State, Yan State was defeated by Qi State in this way. Now our Chu army will also face such a situation." The general shouted loudly.Then he quickly lay down on the table and started to revise the book.As for the generals, you look at me and I look at you. They obviously haven't realized the danger yet.
The situation of the Chu army is the same as when Yan State attacked Qi State. Qi State relied on long-term consumption to finally defeat the Yan Army in one fell swoop.If this development is allowed, the Chu army will encounter the same situation.
In a quiet small hut in the south of Qi State, Ying Yu was walking back and forth. She ordered people to inquire about Shang Wen's whereabouts, but unfortunately there was no news.But his men told him good news.The guerrillas expanded rapidly, and their strength was also great.Originally only a few hundred guerrillas had rapidly grown to more than 2 people. As for the other guerrillas, how many people Ying Yu had developed, she still didn't know.But upon hearing the news, Ying Yu became worried instead of the good news she was originally happy about.
Because the speed of development is too fast.Soon, Ying Yu was very worried.Ying Yu thought of many disadvantages before and after.
If the expansion is too fast, the quality of the guerrillas will decline very quickly. This guerrilla is already short of food and clothing, and with the rapid expansion, many people still cannot have good weapons.However, a large increase in personnel in such a short period of time will lead to a serious drop in combat effectiveness. Although there are a large number of people, fighting is not based on numbers, but on combat effectiveness.
And then there's the officer.The quality of officers is also declining.Many people become officers without much experience in war, and their command is definitely insufficient.The most terrible thing is that because there is no formal training for officers, the command ability of officers has declined.Most importantly, Ying Yu felt that her control was also declining.Guerrilla warfare inherently requires a lot of freedom.Coupled with poor communication, the dispersion of these teams was further aggravated.This way down.Let the guerrillas be in an extremely dispersed state, and such a dispersed state will easily lead to a disadvantageous overall command.Because the army has expanded a lot, some people began to disobey orders, and they could gain benefits if they disobeyed orders, because as long as the Chu army's logistics supply line is controlled, the Chu army has nothing to do.This is what Ying Yu is worried about.A guerrilla can quickly turn into a rabble.Such a team is not suitable for fighting at all.

Yingyu is very clear about the current situation of the guerrillas. It is developing rapidly and seems to have a good prospect, but in fact there are many hidden dangers, and such hidden dangers are covered by the rapid development of the guerrillas.
However, what Ying Yu is most worried about is the troops in his hands.Although the guerrillas were developing rapidly, Ying Yu actually controlled less than 2000 people.Under the slogan of developing guerrillas, many Qi people quickly grew up as local princes.But Ying Yu had no choice.It's a mess and there's no one to take over.
"The spring plowing has started now, and the situation will be better than before," said one of Tian Guang's advisors as he walked on Tian Rong.
"Yes, the seeds have been planted, and there will be a good harvest in a few months. We can use these grains to support the army. As for the military pay, we still have difficulty raising enough money." Tian Guang said worriedly.A discerning person can see the root of the current Qi problems at a glance.Military salary, and more money, this is the only motivation for Qi to continue fighting.Tian Guang has thought of many ways.But they couldn't raise more money. Fortunately, they got some family wealth from other nobles. These family wealth can barely maintain the situation, but they don't know how long they can last in the future.
"Sir, is the Prime Minister of Qin State?" Shang Wen said a lot to the second senior brother.From what the second senior brother said, the Mo family's view of Shang Wen is quite positive.There is one thing that makes the Mo family let him be optimistic.
"Oh. Who is the old man?" Shangwen looked suspiciously at an old man dressed as an ordinary farmer with white hair and beard.Sackcloth.It looks no different from ordinary old farmers.But at first glance, he felt very temperamental. Shang Wen wondered what the origin of this old man was, and even asked himself if he was the prime minister of Qin at the beginning.Shangwen felt very passive.
"This is my master." Mo Li said, staring at Shang Wen.
"Oh. Yes. It's Mr. Mo." Shang Wen didn't know how to address him, since he was a member of the Mo family and an old man of the Mo family.Shang Wen directly called Mo Lao.
"I am the prime minister of Qin." Shang Wen replied immediately to show respect for the other party.The other party is also a figure like an elder of the Mohist school.
"Prime Minister, you are so young." Mo Lao looked at Shang Wen and said.Originally, Elder Mo thought that the prime minister of Qin State might be a middle-aged man, at least someone in his 30s.But he didn't expect that he was just a young man in his 20s. Although he had heard about it before, when he saw it with his own eyes, Mo Lao was still a little surprised.
"En." Shang Wen didn't know how to express such admiration, because Shang Wen was really not good at talking sometimes.It may be because rational thinking was strong in the past, and he didn't know how to narrate his own affairs in front of people.Although he can analyze some things rationally, but.In favor.He lacks too much.This is a flaw.A big flaw.
"Our Mohist family invited the prime minister here, just to ask for advice on some things, and we hope to forgive you for being disrespectful." After seeing the real person Shang Wen, Mr. Mo felt that Shang Wen was different from the powerful prime minister of Qin.And the Mohist school has a kind of chivalrous style in the world.He also naturally cares a lot about the world.
"It's not enough to ask for advice, but it's okay for Mr. Mo to advise." Shang Wen also became polite.
"Let's talk while walking." Mo Lao said as he walked.In the back, there are many Qi people following, obviously this is an armed force.Shang Wen saw that some Qi people were still holding flintlock guns in their hands, but more people were holding sticks, hoes, and some cold weapons.This is the rumored guerrilla.Shangwen was not only swaying when he saw this, but in his opinion, it was difficult for such a team to have a chance to confront the regular army head-on, given the popularity of firearms.Such an armed force with backward equipment does not know how much it can do.How much can the trajectory of history be changed.I don't know how many of them lost their lives in vain.
"What's the prime minister's opinion?" Elder Mo asked when he saw Shang Shangwen watching the guerrilla team.
"Oh." Shang Wen didn't know what Mo Lao meant for a moment.
"These guerrillas?" Mo Lao said.
"My master asked you what." Mo Li said a little unhappy.Shangwen's frequent trance made her feel that Shangwen was too absent-minded.
Meanwhile, Elder Mo looked gloomy at Mo Li.In order not to be rude to Shangwen.
"Are these guerrillas?" Shangwen asked.
"En." Mo Lao nodded.
"En." Shang Wen bowed his head and thought for a while.
"To be honest, I don't like them." Shang Wen said truthfully.
"Prime Minister is really a man of temperament." Seeing Mo Lao who was telling the truth, he had a good impression of Shang Wen.A person who can serve as a prime minister is by no means a good person.But Shangwen's unique personality made Mo Lao's eyes shine.
"These people have poor equipment, insufficient training, and insufficient combat experience. The most important thing is that the war is about the economy, and there is not enough logistics. I really don't know how they will continue to fight." Shang Wen said.
"Please continue, Prime Minister." Elder Mo was obviously very interested.
"Well. I'm just talking casually. I haven't read the newspaper for a long time. I know very little about some things happening in the outside world. However, as far as I can see, it is difficult for them to confront the Chu army head-on. You know, the equipment of the Chu army is much better than yours." Shang Wen said.
"Infantry have muskets, and muskets can form intensive lethality. There are artillery in the distance. The artillery is enough to kill many people. These." Shangwen swayed.
"En. What the prime minister said makes sense. I don't know if the prime minister knows what's happening?" Mo Lao said to Shang Wen with a smile.
"This, of course I heard about it." But Shangwen suddenly realized at this time, Shangwen realized something.The Mohists are quite chivalrous.Shangwen had heard a story about the Mohists in an ancient book, saying that the state of Chu was going to attack a country, but Shangwen himself forgot which country it was.But he knew that the Mohists relied on the power of persuasion to persuade the Chu State to send troops to attack.The Mohist loves non-offensive and opposes war.Obviously, the Mo family in front of them has already participated in the offensive against the Chu army.
Shang Wen thought of this and said nothing more.After all, Shangwen already knew what was going to happen next.Naturally, the Mohists will support the weaker side.Stand up for justice.This is Shang Wen's view.But in Shang Wen's view, the war has already broken out, and the war has been upgraded a lot compared to the previous cold weapons.Go on like this.Very detrimental to the weak side.
"Master, he is the one who invented firearms." At this moment, Mo Li shouted at Shang Wen.
"Oh." Mo Lao was very surprised when he heard this.He really didn't expect that the young man in front of him turned out to be the inventor of firearms.
Shangwen frowned, noncommittal.
"I don't know which family the prime minister is?" Elder Mo asked again at this time.
"I. No home." Shangwen Shangwen replied.Mo Li's eyes turned white.Obviously disdainful of Shangwen's answer.And Mo Lao was a little at a loss by Shang Wen.He really didn't expect Shang Wen to have such an unexpected answer.Elder Mo thought that Shang Wen would report to his school, but he didn't say such a sentence.
"I really have no home." Shang Wen replied.
