Chapter 243 The King of Jing and Song Dynasties is Heartbroken (Part [-])

Later history records: In the fifth year of King Chu Sheng, Wang Yi Song was rude to Chu and died in Jin. The teachers of Shuai Shangguo and Chen and Yang Xia surrounded Shangqiu, and the Mohists assisted Song in guarding.In June, hundreds of warriors were selected to attack the camp and fight at night.Sima Zichang and Jingshu, the two rulers who held Gui, died.Mo Zhe strikes through the formation, and the alliance king is within five steps.

Since the king of Chu was kidnapped, the siege of Shangqiu was considered to be over this time.

This is not the first time that Shangqiu City has been besieged and solved, nor is it the first time that it has not relied on the aid of the Jin-Chu war to help it out, but it is the first time that the siege has been rescued as a result of hijacking the enemy's monarch.

Chu Sima and Juefeng Zhizhu were killed in the rebellion, Chu Sima was killed, and Zhizhu Jingshu was stabbed to death in the camp by Mohists in the chaos.

King Xiongdang of Chu and You Yin Zhaozhi'ai were captured. Zuo Yin and others escaped because they were going to prepare the camp to prepare for Tianming's counterattack.

Although the Mo family did not touch the Chu king this time, but only captured the Chu king, they had deep hatred and conflicts with the Chu people.

The Gong family and the Jing family were killed in battle, and many noble sons and Che Guang warriors were killed. Even if the King of Chu did not hate the Mo family, those nobles would still harbor resentment.

The captured King of Chu couldn't persuade Gongzaoye, and couldn't even make Gongzaye, who was originally from Chu, feel ashamed of his disloyalty, so he could only give up.

He was also worried that the Song people would take advantage of the chaos of the Chu people and go out to fight in the city after dawn, so they expressed to Gong Zaoye that he could agree to form an alliance, but if the Song people went to battle at dawn, then he would rather die under the sword of Gong Zaoye.

Being captured and insulted is not hatred.

In the alliance between Ke and Di, Cao Mo held Duke Huan of Qi hostage. Although Duke Huan of Qi was greatly insulted, when he considered revenge on Lu, he still praised Cao Mo with Guan Zhong as the pillar of Lu. If he did not die, he would not be able to attack Lu. .

Now the king of Chu also understands that Mo Zhe is really going to be in a hurry, and these common people who look rude and don't care about the noble blood are likely to kill him.

But I also thought that the Mo family could not kill him unless they had to, otherwise the conflict between Chu and Song would be irreconcilable.

Gong Zaoye could only agree to this kind of request under consideration, and let people stick to the camp to prevent the Chu people from attacking: it was not because the Chu people wanted to rescue their king, but because some nobles were afraid that the Chu king would not die. In the name of rescuing the king, the Mo family killed the king of Chu.

Fortunately, none of the sons of King Chu was here. If one of them was here, King Chu might not be able to live today.

The king of Chu only ordered the Chu people to guard the camp to prevent the Song people from attacking. He also said that he believed in the faith of the Mo family and would never hurt himself.

Gongzaoye released Youyin Zhaozhiai again, and asked him to pass on the order of the King of Chu, and only let the nobles of Chu and Tianmingshi gather in the camp to prepare for an alliance.

Immediately, more than [-] Mohist disciples were selected and returned to Shangqiu immediately.

The first was told to Juzi, the second was told to the public, and the third was told to Song Gong and Liu Qing.

Among the 20 people, 15 have sharp tongues and belong to the Xuanyi Department. All they have to do is to go back to Shangqiu to publicize one thing.

"The volunteers in Pei County captured the King of Chu in the battle, and formed an alliance!"

When talking to Chu people, if you want to talk about the five-step alliance, you have to show some affection.

Just like when Jin Wengong forced the emperor of Zhou to go to the alliance, he could only ask the emperor to be able to hunt fields, but it is hard to say that he forced the emperor to recognize his supremacy.

Talk about affection in front of the King of Chu, and once you return to the city to publicize, you can bluntly say that you have captured King Chu Yunyun.

Everyone took the order and got the seal of the king of Chu. They returned from the road they had rushed for a long time last night, and told Shangqiu City the news that finally shook the world.

…………

In the city, the news of last night's explosion and the night attack by Mo Zhe was known to the nobles who had just participated in a coup d'etat and made two oaths during the day.

Although they nominally wanted to discuss the third article of the covenant in the palace: compensation for the coup deaths and injuries, in fact they had been keeping an eye on the movement outside the city.

Everyone knows that the daytime covenant in the city is not stable, and ultimately depends on the battle outside the city.

If the people of Chu broke the city, then Sichenghuang's family would not be able to rely on the mediation of the Mohist, but would only be defeated, because the failure of the Mohist would mean their extinction in the world.

If the Chu people could not break through the city and the soldiers of the Three Jins arrived, the Dayin family would surely fail in ten years.

Only when the Mohists defeated the Chu people by their own strength, could the covenant of Bairi be implemented stably, and it could also prove that the Mohists had the ability to be a mediator, a supervisor, and the sword of Shangqiu.

Song Gongzi Tian, ​​Sicheng Emperor's father Zang, Dayin Lingqi, Gongshu Cenxi and others who had been killed to death during the day gathered together in the palace.

Those Mohists who are responsible for "protecting" them from harming each other have several huge iron lumps wrapped around their bodies, and besides a lead wire, they hold torches, and everyone dare not move.

When these people heard in the middle of the night that the Mo family was going out of the city to attack at night and were about to hijack the king of Chu, all the princes and nobles present were stunned, thinking that the Mo family was crazy, and they were seeking their own death.

Some people may think that the Mohist school will be unique in the world since then!

Some people may think that Mo Di is old, and he just wants to have a great show before he dies.

But after the Mohist disciple who came back to report appeared in the palace, everyone didn't know the situation, but seeing the excited application on the Mohist's face, they couldn't help but shudder.

The Mohist disciple said loudly: "According to the Juzi's order, the Mohist family will not disgrace each other, the Mohist disciples and three hundred young men from Pei County attacked the Chu camp at night. The young men from Pei County captured the King of Chu and You Yin, and the siege of Shangqiu has been lifted!"

He called out, but no one answered, only the nobles and princes present stared at him as if they didn't understand.

He just pretended that everyone didn't hear it, and wondered if his elegant voice was inaccurate?Then he conveyed it loudly in Song dialect again.

Just after shouting the second time, they heard the sound of several jars falling to the ground, and even more horrified people kicked over the case in disregard of etiquette.

The Mohist disciple knew at this moment that it wasn't because everyone didn't hear it, but because he didn't dare to believe what he said before, he just thought he heard it wrong.

He also took out the document with the seal letter written by Mo Di and handed it to Song Gong.

Song Gong hurriedly got up to greet him, his heart was shocked, and he said repeatedly: "Mr. Mo Di guards Shangqiu, he really believes in people! Who captured the King of Chu?"

The Mohist disciple solemnly said: "It was captured by the youths of Pei County. There is no surname, only a humble name. You just need to know that it is a boy from Pei County."

"The giant said that the king of Chu has agreed to form an alliance, and he also invited the Duke of Song and the six ministers to ask the people of Shangqiu to agree on the alliance immediately, and then prepare chariots and horses to form an alliance with the people of Chu!"

Song Gong nodded again and again, although he was unwilling to discuss these matters with the people of Shangqiu in his heart, but he had just experienced a coup in the daytime, and now that the Mohists had shown enough military strength, how could they refuse to agree.

He agreed, and the rest of the nobles also pretended to congratulate.

Dayin and the others said: "If we knew that Mr. Mo Di could force the King of Chu to form an alliance, why should we worry about defending the city and starving the people in the city?"

"That's right, today, Mr. Mo Di has done such a great thing, so we don't have to worry about famine for the people in the city anymore..."

Several people celebrated like this, but they were secretly surprised in their hearts. Even if they wanted to suppress their shock, it was still beyond words.

Everyone sighed, shocked.

Chu is a big country with many elites. Although they did not come out in full force this time, there were tens of thousands of them.

How could the people present have imagined that the tens of thousands of Chu troops were successfully attacked by hundreds of people at night, and even captured the king of Chu.

It is said that the Mo family is for the benefit of the world, and death is not imminent. They often assassinate unjust kings, and the princes are often on guard.

Now, not only relying on fish intestines to specialize in everything, but also able to defeat tens of thousands of Chu troops on the battlefield. The power contained in this is really too scary.

The original covenant in the daytime, everyone may not want to abide by it, because the covenant oath can only be supervised by the gods and ghosts.

As for the gods and ghosts, can they really monitor the world?
Many people don't believe it, they just hope that the common people can believe it, but they don't believe it at all, otherwise the Mohist school would not have the theory of heavy ghosts and gods to persuade these nobles.

But now the people of the Mohists actually accomplished this great event in the midst of thousands of troops. The Mohists were supposed to be the supervisors of the daytime covenant, and now even if there are no ghosts and gods, the covenant has to be abided by.

While Dayin and the others were terrified by the strength of the Mohist family, they were also secretly delighted by Bairi's covenant, at least their family's status would be guaranteed for ten years.

As long as it is not a last resort, they no longer dare to make trouble.

Now that the Mohist urges the three parties to form an alliance, they also sincerely hope that the Mohist people can maintain this alliance. After all, the Chu people have been defeated, and the only way is to retreat.

The stronger the power of the Mo family, the more at ease they will be. Once the Chu people leave, they can only stay on the defensive in the battle with Si Chenghuang.

Since Dayin and the others were congratulating, Si Cheng Huang couldn't be left behind, so he also got up and said: "Mr. Mo Di's matter tonight is really beneficial to the world and the people of Shangqiu."

"I am the city of Si, so I am the people of Shangqiu city. First of all, I would like to thank everyone of the Mohist family."

After thanking the people in the city, the emperor's father Zang did not forget to close the relationship with the Mohists, and said: "A few years ago, the Mohists wanted to go to Peidi to do justice, and I reported it to my ancestor. I don't want the righteousness of the past, but today I am saving Entering Shangqiu City, this is really the protection of the Emperor of Heaven."

"Back then, I knew that the Mo family had Jiahe, and I also knew that the people of Chu had ambitions, so I dedicated it to the Three Jins to help the three Jins once the people of Chu surrounded Shangqiu."

"If I knew that Mr. Mo Di could destroy the entire army of the Chu people, why should I befriend the three Jins, so that the people resent me? Those who know me say that I care about the people; those who don't know me say that I am fond of Jin!"

While expressing his emotions repeatedly, he was also reminding Mo Zhe that he was a great help in the righteousness in Peixian County.

In fact, they are also asking for credit. After all, the Mo family does not lie, and they have to believe that the king of Chu was captured by a young man from Pei County.

The defeat of the Chu people this time was only a fly in the ointment for him.

Now that he has tied the knot with the three Jins, and the siege of Shangqiu was not lifted by the power of the Jin people, he would not be able to gain greater prestige and power.

But compared to the previous few days, it seemed that the Chu people were about to break the city, and he was also willing to accept the situation in front of him.

Now that the Mohists have urged the three parties to form an alliance and set a ten-year agreement, Sichenghuang originally had more fiefdoms and soldiers than the other families, and it seems that he has made good friends with the Mohists. Once the alliance is broken after ten years, he will still have the upper hand after all. .

The fly in the ointment is that he did not have the power of the Jin people and the merits of resolving the siege of Shangqiu to obtain judicial power. This can only slowly accumulate strength and delay his family ambitions.

The emperor's father Yueling, who was also present, saw that his father's answer was quite reasonable, but he didn't ask a few questions, so he asked: "The Mo family has made such a great contribution today to relieve the siege of Shangqiu. This should be celebrated."

"Although the Mohist burial is a festival, the dead warriors must be known and paid homage to. May I ask how much the Mohist people have lost today? They died for the benefit of the world and for the people of Shangqiu. We can't just ask about this!"
