Chapter 242 The Spear Penetrates the Five-Step Alliance (End)
Perhaps with the pleasure of revenge from their once humble status, everyone in Pei County launched the last attack after the sound of drums and whistles.

People who used to be lowly can now stab the king of a great country with a spear if they want to, what kind of pleasure is this?
This kind of joy stems from the outbreak of the suppression of identity and blood, so joy turns into strength.

Jogging neatly, with overwhelming strength, he rushed to the last guard beside King Chu.

The king of Chu, who was guarded in the center, was pale and his arms trembled slightly. Looking at the spears rushing towards him like a tidal wave, he knew in his heart that the guards in front of him could no longer stop him.

The last elite around the King of Chu, holding swords and shields, protected the King of Chu and a group of important officials in the center.

At this moment, those Mohists who had joined the volunteer teachers in Peixian County shouted in unison with Chu Yu: "Please don't struggle! If you don't bleed for five steps, the Chu land will be thousands of miles away, and Yingdu will be unhappy for three years. Today is also."

"If we are still struggling, then we will use the thunderbolt, and then we will burn jade and stone. We are all ordinary people, if we can die in exchange for the king of Chu, we will be famous in the world!"

"Is the king of Chu willing to change his life? If you don't want to change, please don't resist!"

Shouting a few times, the king of Chu also knew how powerful those weapons were before. After seeing it with his own eyes, he was really afraid that these people would go crazy in the end, and they would come up with a method like burning jade and stone together.

Today's matter, there is no turning point, he thought he could turn defeat into victory by Tianming, but he didn't want to be rushed to his side without even holding on for half an hour.

What's more, they didn't expect that the raid of the Mohists would be so accurate and quick, as if someone was guiding them. From the start of the raid to the breakthrough to the camp, it completely exceeded King Chu's expectations, and he had no chance to hesitate and make a choice.

Hearing what those people shouted in Chu language, the King of Chu knew that he had no choice, so he had no choice but to order no resistance. He only hoped that these people would give him enough decency and respect, after all, he was the king.

But when he gave the order, when the elite around King Chu wavered, those attacking spearmen didn't seem to know to stop at all. Taking advantage of the moment when the Chu people wavered, they tore open the last defense of the elite guards around King Chu.

Several long spears stopped beside the King of Chu, making the King of Chu pale and afraid to move, for fear that if he moved, he would be pierced to death.

While the king of Chu was flustered, he was also resentful. These people didn't have any etiquette to treat the monarch, even if it was a little bit.

In the old days of war, when a doctor met an enemy monarch on the battlefield, he had to maintain etiquette because of his high title. Even if he could shoot, he would definitely draw the bowstring in vain.

But these people put the tip of the spear directly beside themselves, allowing themselves to be humiliated in front of everyone!
The King of Chu wanted to curse, but he looked at the distorted and excited expressions on the faces of the people opposite. He didn't see even a trace of awe for bloodlines and titles in his eyes, and finally swallowed those curse words in his stomach.

The owner of the spear closest to the king of Chu, his arms were trembling with excitement, his teeth were gritting, and after a long time he raised his head and laughed loudly.

"Even if blood is the king, why don't you stand up obediently? As a commoner, can I catch you? At this moment, who will uphold your rules? I am a commoner! I just disrespect you! What can you do?" What am I? Hahahahaha!"

He laughed out loud in the Pei local dialect, which made his colleagues around him laugh, and he uttered all kinds of similar insulting words.

The two parties may not have any direct enmity, but the difference in identities and the Mohist's propaganda created this huge gap and disdain in identities.

Fortunately, at this time, the books were different and the carriages were of different tracks, and these common people used dialects instead of elegant sounds. Otherwise, such laughter and curses contained countless insults, and the king of Chu would definitely commit suicide in shame.

The tip of the nearest spear trembled because of the master's laughter, and the King of Chu's eyes wandered along with the trembling spear tip, and his heart jumped violently.

The man holding the spear and laughing, only realized that today he really captured the king of a country, and the king of the largest country in the world, after those princes and generals Xiang Ning, who had been suppressed for a long time, burst out with a kind of pleasure of revenge!
The monarch of this big country is now under the tip of his own spear, allowing himself to be insulted but helpless.

Thinking back to the past, not to mention insulting the monarch, I am afraid that if you insult a few scholars and officials, you will not have the courage, and you may even die.

But now, it's really insulting the monarch.

The Mohist said that everyone is equal, and the owner of this spear feels that there is nothing more equal than this moment!In the countryside of Peixian County, after Wanmin established the law, insulting others will not be punished, only killing and injuring people will be. He has scolded people before, but he has not scolded the monarch. Today he scolded happily!

In the past, if you insulted the monarch, you might die, but now you won't, because no one will uphold the rule that you will die if you insult the monarch.

This is not the behavior that a nobleman should have. If a gentleman like Gongsun Ze, even in a hostile state at this time, he would take off his coat and put it on for the King of Chu to keep him from being cold.

But these people are thinking about whether to tear the clothes of the king of Chu on purpose, to see if the material of the prince's clothes is really so luxurious and different, and even thinking about whether they should untie the clothes at the king of Chu and take out the bird to urinate. .

Many people think that the bullshit king of Chu is just a commodity in exchange for our interests.Like that shit Song Gong, if it weren't for the rules of the world at this time, why should we bother with you?

Just after everyone laughed and cursed, there was a thunderous sound from a distance, and these laughing soldiers finally retracted their spears and started forming a team beside the King of Chu.

A Chu language said in a loud voice: "Please also ask the king to issue an order and stop resisting. We may not dare to splatter five steps with blood. Now that the matter is irreversible, do you want the soldiers to die in vain?"

After observing the situation here, Gong Zaoye came in a hurry. While he was delighted with the outstanding achievements made by the volunteers in Pei County, he was secretly worried that the situation would not be under control.

When the King of Chu made an alliance with the Mohists before, he had met Gongzaoye and heard someone introduce him to him. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gongzaoye come forward.

Resuming the usual luxurious spirit, he asked in a cold voice: "The five-step alliance has been completed, what do you mohists want?"

Gong Zaoye said with a smile: "Hasn't your majesty already made an alliance with the giant? You have already agreed to what the Mo family wanted. Today's matter is that the Mo family is defending the city of Song. How to form an alliance is between you and Song Gong and Song Zhi." Inquiry about matters to be discussed by the Council."

Hearing this, the King of Chu finally breathed a sigh of relief and no longer worried.

People like the Mo family may do crazy things, but the people of Song Dynasty can't.

Although Song people were stunned, they could have killed the doctor of Chu regardless of the consequences and gave the king of Chu an excuse to send troops, but now it is impossible to insult him.

And at most, it is to form an alliance and retreat.

But the King of Chu didn't understand what the so-called Consulting Council was, but he didn't ask. After his expression calmed down, he looked at Gong Zaoye with a sneer and said, "I heard that you are from Chu?"

Gong Zaoye shook his head and said, "I'm not from Chu. It's just that my grandfather cast guests for King Hui and bells for Marquis Zeng. I grew up in Chu, but I never had a fief. Besides, I only have obligations but no power. How can I be considered a Chu person? "

The King of Chu knew the weird logic of the Mohist school. Hearing what Gong Zaoye said, he said coldly, "You grew up in Chu, but now you bring people to threaten me. What is this?"

Without even thinking about it, Gong Zaoye said, "Of course it is considered loyal and brave, and it is the loyalty that benefits the world, the great courage that benefits the world!"

The King of Chu had heard some rumors, knew that Gong Zaoye had won a match with Duke Luyang, and knew his tactics. He did something like this again today, so he had to say: "Be brave, but where does loyalty come from? Isn't it true?" Laughing? The people of Chu threatened Chu Jun, so he was actually loyal?"

Gong Zaoye replied naturally: "Naturally, it is loyalty. Haven't you heard about the deer?"

"Duke Ling of Jin had no way, so he sent a warrior, 鉏麑, to assassinate Zhao Dun. Seeing that Zhao Xuanzi was still worried about state affairs and the people at night, 鉏麑 sighed: 'The lord of the thieves. Unfaithful', and feared 'abandoning the king's life.' If you don’t believe me, you commit suicide.”

"According to my Mohist debate, infidelity is the opposite of loyalty, so since the leader of the bandits is disloyal, it is loyalty for the benefit of all people."

"Now that we can form an alliance with you to restrain the warlike kings of the world, this is beneficial to the world. If you form an alliance now, the people of Shangqiu will not have to starve, which is beneficial to the world."

"I'm not from Chu, but from the world. I seek benefits for the people of the world. To capture you for the benefit of all people is of course loyalty."

The king of Chu was silent when he heard the words. How could he not know about the deer, and he sighed after a while and said, "How can you interpret the word loyalty in this way? Who are you loyal to? The world? How do you know what people in the world want?"

But Gong Zaoye didn't answer, he just said: "If you are willing to argue, my Mo family has its own giants, Mo Bian and Xuanyi radicals to argue with you. Now that we have done five steps to form an alliance, the first step is to invite you Order the people of Chu to stop resisting, and invite you to form an alliance with the people of Song in the morning."

The king of Chu saw that the Mohist elite had already controlled the situation in the camp, and knew that there was no chance of a turnaround. Now that his life was in the hands of these people, he still sighed and said, "I am the king of a great country, and I have been humiliated like this. Don't you common people and scholars? You can be angry, but can't I be angry because of the shame because of the prince?"

Gong Zaoye said: "In the past, Duke Huan of Qi even robbed the alliance in Kecheng, but he didn't think it was a disgrace, but he thought it was an opportunity to tell the world that he kept his word."

"Kecheng robbed the alliance, and made two people. It made Cao Mo's gentleman's courage, and also made Qi Huangong win the trust of the world. So he was able to unite with the princes, respect... well, respect the king and fight against barbarians, and become the overlord of a generation."

When Gong Zaoye talked about respecting the king and fighting against the barbarians, he still hesitated for a moment. The barbarians that Duke Huan of Qi and the nine princes respected the king and fought against the barbarians... were Chu people, so it was not good to say that.

The King of Chu's face twitched, knowing that Gong Zaoye was looking for a step down for himself, so he didn't get angry, but asked: "The Tianliang alliance, I made an alliance with the Song people. So is the alliance with your Mo family still valid?"

"Now there are tens of thousands of people in Chu. Because I was hijacked, the fertile land was left in vain and could not be cultivated. How can I explain to them?"

"Even if the Chu people don't besiege the Song Dynasty, wouldn't the Jin people force the Song people to form an alliance? What will you do then?"

"If the Jin people can't stop their troops, what should they do?"

Gong Zaoye said slowly: "I and everyone are only responsible for piercing the formation with spears and striking within five steps of you. As for the covenant, that is not up to us to decide. Now the state affairs of the Song Dynasty need the monarch and the Second Court of Inquiry Discuss together, every alliance must be asked by the public. We are already five steps closer to you, and the rest of the alliance has nothing to do with us."
