Chapter 193 The Strong City Still Fears the Disaster of the Xiao Wall ([-])
The period of decline is three years.

The nursery rhymes that Shi left Shangqiu three years ago have finally started to play a role now.

It seems that if the nursery rhyme is destiny, there is indeed a chance.

But Taizhu said something that made the nobles present panic.

"The Mo Zhe... is dead!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone's expressions changed.

Yes, the Mohist is not destined, and the world knows that Mohist thinks that the destiny is bullshit, and human efforts can change the destiny. I don’t know how many times I have argued with Confucian scholars on this point.

Believe it or not, Mohists believe in destiny or not, maybe it has nothing to do with nursery rhymes, but Taizhu's words still make everyone change color, because the Mohists also believe in another thing.

benevolence and righteousness.

It's just that this kind of benevolence and righteousness is different from that of Confucian scholars, but it still talks about the benevolence and righteousness of Mohists themselves.

Coup d'état, the Mohists will be neutral.

Riots, the ink may support.

But burning food and artificially creating famine, if they are caught by the Mohist, it is time to defend the city, and the Mohist will kill the whole family. They are ruthless and have the power to defend the city, so they will never be soft.

A multinational organization that shouts that even the emperor must be elected all day long will not take the nobles seriously at all, and will not be soft-hearted or unbearable when they are killed.

This is known to everyone present.

Once discovered, it would force the Mo family to join forces with Sicheng Huang's clan to wipe out the roots.

Before guarding the city, because some small nobles did not obey orders, many of them were strangled and hanged in the street market. The big nobles were also bullied by the Mohists because of collecting food and grass. Rotating heels, this is the most terrifying "fatal".

What is wrong is not the destiny, but the destiny that does not take human life seriously.

Hundreds of Mohists who are dying, hundreds of Mohists who are most proficient in fighting in the streets and alleys, and the even more hateful "Xuanyi Department" to confuse the people, these nobles can't help but worry that there will be gallows all over the city of Shangqiu.

Taizhu sighed, and said again: "Mohists are not destined to die, but the technique of sacrifice to ghosts and gods is far superior to me. The Xuanyi Department has won the hearts of the people in the city, and there are craftsmen's associations and other organizations to promote it."

"I'm afraid it will not be so easy for Hou Zhaogong in the past."

The people of the country did not participate in the coup during Hou Zhaogong's time. The nobles' alliances and military bravados, which led to the rise of Sicheng and the reshuffle of the Liuqing, and the change of the duke by the way.

That's because the people don't care, and there is no such thing as the Propaganda Department that can quickly organize the people.

Today, this kind of thing is completely different. These people have seen the members of the Mohist Propaganda Department wandering around in the city. If they really want to do something, they can make the people in the city turn against each other within a day.

Xiao Sikou thought that what he was originally in charge of was the work of the Xuanyi Department, but after careful observation, he found that it was completely different.

Far worse.

But even if it is far inferior, Xiao Sikou can still judge the popular sentiment of the coup before, which shows the importance of public opinion orientation.

If you wish too much, let the nobles present fight against each other, they really don't want to take this risk.

The risk is too high, although the return is high, but if it fails, it is a risk of killing the whole family.

Seeing the panic of the crowd, Yin Lingqi sneered a few times, stood up and said, "How can life be a big deal? In the past, King Wu used three thousand tigers to defeat a hundred thousand Zhou. If he lost in the battle of Muye, how could there be a world?"

He knew that just agitating was useless, and after getting up and pacing, he made a statement with his own interests.

"The Emperor Sicheng is very powerful. The Mohists once said that boiling clams in warm water is something I deeply believe."

"If the soldiers of the Three Jin Dynasty arrive and the Sicheng Emperor is even more powerful, how will we deal with ourselves? What can we do besides fleeing?"

"Compared to us, what is the power of Zhishi and Zhongxingshi?"

He asked everyone, but everyone was silent.

None of the six ministers of the state of Jin are more powerful and powerful than them.

Prestige, contacts, status, fame, wealth, dead soldiers, retainers... everything is missing.

Dayin Lingqi said coldly: "After the rebellion of Liu Qing, the Bank of China fled to Qi, and the Zhi family died in Qin. Now, do they still have fiefs and retainers? Do they still have power?"

"Aside from the article about the blueness that came out of Mo Zhe, what else does the Zhongxing family have?"

"Furthermore, our coup took power in the past, and Dayin fled to Chu in the past. Where is his family now? How much wealth does it have?"

The people he talked about were silent, and said again: "Once Emperor Sicheng gains power, we will be slaughtered, and with the Three Jins as our support, what can we do except flee to Chu?"

"Even if the king of Chu accepts it, can we have a fief for us? If the royal family can't be completely enfeoffed, what can we get? In the past, Dayin fled to Chu, but now the family is in decline, but there is no fief, and the descendants are rumored to have sheep Cultivator!"

"Sooner or later, we will die, and death will lead to great things! We can't be turned into toads boiled in warm water as the Mohist said. At that time, we will not even have the chance to fight to the death like this!"

After he finished speaking, everyone in the room nodded their heads, too many examples and too many previous events were like this.

Aristocrats are just status, and the real power is fiefdom and power. Although the branch of the Le family back then, although there are people like Le Yangzi shining brightly now, Coke Yangzi could only be a doorman before...

Could it be that they, and their descendants, start from the doorman again, and walk the path of doorman, doctor, and minister again?

Everyone thought of this, Great Yin Lingqi said: "Three years ago, we made an oath, and those who break the oath will die. The Mohists once said that the covenant must be sustained if it is related to interests. This is correct."

"Everyone here, if you want to make a big deal, you can learn from Han, Zhao and Wei in the future. Even if you don't succeed, you can each become a vassal."

"If you don't make a big deal, Sichenghuang's family will gain power, and the soldiers of the Three Jin Dynasty will have to flee. Now even if you take refuge in Sichenghuang, what can you get? Even if you get it now, the emperor's father Yueling will succeed his father in the future, isn't it? Will it be taken back?"

Shu Cen was delighted to hear the words, and took the lead and said: "In this case, I would rather die for a big event than be a frog boiled in warm water."

The rest of the people also said: "I am willing to wait!"

Dayin said, "This matter needs to be kept secret."

"In the treasury, there are dead men, which can be trusted. There are also some dead men who have been kept for a long time in your mansion. They value righteousness and despise life, and this can all be done."

"But even if you and my mansion gather all the dead soldiers, they may not be the opponents of Mo Zhe, and this kind of thing can't make private soldiers come forward, so this matter still needs the cooperation of Chu people."

"Choose a confidential confidant, go to the Chu camp, and meet with the Chu people."

"The people of Chu can't attack Shangqiu, so they don't attack; if the people of Chu don't attack the city, then we have no chance to do it."

"It is necessary for the Chu people to attack the city once to attract the attention of the Mohists. Then we will burn the food and grass in the treasury and set fire to the city, so that the food in the city can only last for a month."

"In the north of the city, there are my people. After those dead men are finished, they can leave the city through the north wall. It is only said that the Chu people did it carefully. Even if the Emperor Sicheng doubts it, he can't blame us."

"At that time, there will be a shortage of food in the city, and the people will be angry that the king will betray Chu and lead to famine. We can spread nursery rhymes widely and lead the soldiers to force the king to give up the throne to the uncle."

"The Chu people want to attack this time and let the Mozhe defend with all their strength, but the Chu people still can't break through the city, because the Mozhe's defense skills are unparalleled in the world, so after all, we still have a chance to accomplish this great event in the city!"

He told the plan, which is perfect, as long as the Chu people can be persuaded to launch a full-scale attack to cover the city, then this matter can be done.

As for human life, that doesn't matter.

It was the same for Sichenghuang. This time the siege by the Chu people was exactly what Sichenghuang expected... The city is not miserable. It is meaningless for him to ask the Sanjin to send troops, and the people in the city will not support him.

Whoever it is, the people in the city are suffering, and they are just using these sufferings to achieve their own goals.
