Chapter 199

Mozi knew that when Shi just talked about the supervision of ghosts and gods and the rules and regulations, he was also talking about this matter, thinking silently, considering Shi's vague words, after all, he didn't say a word about this matter.

Looking at the bonfire outside again, he said for a long time: "I don't mention this in advance. Now the Chu people will definitely respond to the city. I think we can send those people out of the city tomorrow to fight."

"If the people of Chu have any plans, it can just disrupt them and buy us time."

"Furthermore, make full preparations for future events, and know about Chu people's mobilization and reactions."

"In the city...everything remains as usual. Mohists are on guard. Anyway, Mohism will not fight tomorrow. Once there are changes in the city, they can be suppressed."

Shi said: "Chu people must not know that we are going to send people from the city out of the city first to test, but there is no need to worry too much. If there is something in the city, it must be a time when we mohists are powerless to stop it."

"Sir, although Shangqiu seems to have the disaster of Xiaoqiang, it is not necessarily a bad thing. Anyway, I still want to mention that we are not defending Shangqiu for the sake of defending Shangqiu, but for better benefiting the world in the future."

"I hope that Mr. and you can always keep this in mind. This is not an ordinary thing."

Mo Zi sighed, finally nodded and said, "I know. This matter will have to be discussed after all."

Shi said: "Even if this matter is discussed, a regulation must be drawn up in advance. Once something happens, it can be implemented. Sir, I just want to say that if I make a regulation, it is not because I am willing to do so, but to anticipate the enemy first. "

Mozi smiled and said, "I can tell the difference. Tomorrow's event, you need to watch from the top of the city, watch the Chu people's movement, camp, time... and go to sleep first."

Appropriate to say goodbye, did not stay, went down the city wall and left.

After Shi Shi left, Gong Zaoye asked: "Sir, Shi's words are different from yours, but I think...he is still a very good Mohist. You...do you think so?"

Mo Zi looked at the few people around him, and said slowly: "My Mo family values ​​ghosts and gods, and what I do is hope that everyone believes that there are gods up three feet above their heads, so that the emperor of heaven can monitor the world."

"Then if there really are ghosts and gods, a person with a very bad heart, but because he is worried about disasters from ghosts and gods, he has to benefit the world and love everyone...then he can benefit the world, otherwise why do we have the theory of ghosts and gods? "

Gong Zaoye was a little nervous, and asked, "Sir, what you mean...is that you are talking about suitable thoughts...not necessarily the original intention?"

Mozi laughed and said: "It is rumored that Bigan's heart has seven orifices, and you have to dig it out to see it. But the person who digs out the heart is going to die. Original heart... is it important? If the Mohist only seeks the original heart to benefit the world Why do you need to talk about ghosts and gods?”

"The rules, the will of heaven, and the wisdom of the people that I mentioned are all ghosts and gods. He and I... are actually the same, but the ghosts and gods worshiped are different."

Gong Zaoye was thoughtful, nodded his thanks after a while, and said, "I understand what you said, sir. So our ghosts and gods are not the ghosts and gods that those people think."

Mozi stood facing the wind, and after a long time he said, "You are right. The horse is called a cow, and foolish people think it is a cow, but it is actually a horse."

After saying this, the elderly Mozi supported the sword at his waist, and went down the city wall with a group of disciples.

…………

The next day, afternoon.

The sun hasn't set yet, but it's almost dusk.

Shi took a lot of people and stood on the tall building of the city gate. He prepared all kinds of rules, water leaks and other tools beside him, and looked at the camp of the Chu people.

This time the attack was just for bluff and to make Chu people look down on him, so Shi Shi didn't care about the result of this attack at all.

Even if the assembled soldiers have strong personal abilities, they can be regarded as elite soldiers, and most of them are warriors who have undergone off-the-job training since childhood, but it is difficult to achieve any results.

They can form an array, but it is difficult to maintain, and it is very likely that the rise of the kill will not obey orders.

They can also charge into the formation, but expecting them to complete the task of attacking through the formation is completely delusional.

Now they are trying to make it difficult for the Chu people to understand the intentions of the penetrators, and they are also trying to find a way to see how the Chu army will react when they are attacked.

The reason why this time was chosen was that the sky was not yet dark, but it was impossible to fight with chariots, and the night was coming, which happened to cause great confusion to the Chu people, without being attacked by the Chu people.

Chariots are irreplaceable on the plains. Even those who have received military training since childhood, it is difficult to block the impact of chariots before they have practiced a special phalanx.

Even, Shi even hoped that these attacking people would be easily defeated by the Chu people, so as to encourage the Chu people's arrogance.

Under the city wall, more than a hundred people were wearing several layers of leather armor, swords at their waists, without bows and arrows, and were making final preparations.

Gongsun Ze stroked his sword, not nervous or panicked, just quietly waiting for the order.

Those dissatisfied taxis will not be overwhelmed by a few words, but they will not act cowardly in public.

After all, they still have the pride of being a scholar.

The so-called soldiers can be killed but not humiliated, especially in front of all the soldiers, it is even more impossible to show the slightest cowardice, otherwise life is meaningless.

I sang "Northern Mountain" to express my dissatisfaction, but now the dissatisfaction has been vented, and they are gathered in one place again, so it is really difficult to complain.

On the leather armor of these people, special cloth belts were wrapped around their arms.

It is mentioned in "Mozi, Orders" that night battles are chaotic, and one side must do a good job of identifying friend and foe, and must wrap a belt around the arm to avoid cannibalism.

The purpose of leaving the city was not fully explained to these people, but I kept telling them that it was to harass the Chu army and put the Chu army on alert, so as to reduce the speed and quantity of Chu people's wheat harvesting.

Although most of the family members of these people were detained in the city for secret custody, this kind of detention can only guarantee that they will not take the initiative to surrender to the enemy. Once they are captured, it is difficult to guarantee, and their wives will not be slaughtered if they are captured. family.

This time, these people have been used to the extreme, because they are only useful in Mo Zhe's plan. If they use the power of these people when attacking through the formation, it will only cause bad things and will not increase the power at all.

Next to the small side door by the city wall, the Mohists guarding the door there are quietly waiting for the opportunity to open the small side door and let these people go out of the city to harass.

Outside the city, the Chu army who had been besieging the city for a long time was a little slack.Since the beginning of the siege, the city has not taken the initiative to attack, and when it is close to the city wall, the city will often say something that exposes the bloody affairs of the Chu family, so Chu people rarely send people near the city wall to yell.

Scolding is useless, if you send disciples, the city will spread some content that will make the nobles and princes very angry.

If it is a dispatcher or a nobleman, the head of the city will add fuel to the story of the Chu king's royal family, and it will change every day.

Originally, there were quite a few of these things, but Shi was good at embellishing them. There were so many dirty things in the palace that he liked to hear, and he could guarantee that every day would not be the same.

As for how much damage those shouters in the city can cause, maybe the King of Chu would not have cared a month ago, but now he cares a lot.

In the eyes of the nobles and the king of Chu, they would rather retreat and besiege the city, as long as they can't get out of the city, they can't get so close.

Some weird remarks have already begun to circulate in the military camp. Even if these remarks are banned, they are still spread every day.

The people who shouted at the top of the city became more and more proficient.

From the initial proclamation to the subsequent release of the captured Chu people, this series of preparations is to force the Chu people to give up space, to give up the space where they can leave the city to harass at any time.

When the sun was about to set and the moon was rising in the east, Mohist, who was guarding the side door, finally waited for the order.

He quietly opened the small side door, and more than a hundred celebrities gathered together, each armed, quietly left the city under the leadership of the three Mohists.

After walking a few steps out of the city, Gongsun Ze quietly turned his head to look at Shi who was standing on the top of the city, and sighed secretly in his heart: "If you don't fight to the death today, this person will be laughed at. He has his own reasons for not going out of the city to fight in the field, and I can't refute it." .To fight today, you must not spare your life!"
