Chapter 244 The King of Jing and Song Dynasties is Heartbroken ([-])
The royal father Yueling asked such a question, and the nobles present admired themselves, thinking that we have forgotten this question, but let you ask it first to make friends with the Mo family.

It is said that the emperor's father Yueling's wisdom is far superior to that of his father, this statement is true.

Thinking about it again, ten years later, the emperor's father Yueling will be in his prime, and Dayin and others can't help feeling sad when they think about their children.

If this question is true or false, then there is no need to think too much about it, just ask it out.

Anyway, the Mohist festival burial, even if there are more than a hundred casualties, it is only the payment of some three-inch coffins, almost free of money.

If these people were scholars, and they were buried with military ceremony, if there were hundreds of casualties, it would be a huge expenditure for a family.

The emperor's father, Yueling, only needs to ask a little, without paying anything, and he can gain the favor of the Mo family, and he has a good idea.

How can the Mo family fight to the death for Shangqiu City, so far only the emperor Yueling asked the truth about the number of casualties.

The Mohist disciple listened to the inquiry from the imperial father Yueling, and smiled at the imperial father Yueling to show his gratitude for the inquiry and concern.

Seeing this, the rest of the nobles cursed inwardly. Thinking about those rumors again, they wondered, could it be that the Mohists had something to do with Si Chenghuang's family?
In just a moment, the doubts and curses in his heart turned into shock.

The Mohist disciple cleared his throat, and said half proudly and half sadly, "In the battle tonight, 17 people were killed and [-] were injured between our disciples and the boys from Pei County. Big Sima!"

"Those who died in battle all had the heart of benefiting the world. Death is what you deserve, so happy!"

The heroic and sad words left everyone present completely speechless.

The camp of tens of thousands of Chu troops rushed in front of the king of Chu, but only a dozen people died?

How did these people do it?Where in this world is there such a thing?

What methods did these Mo people use?How did this battle go?

Dayin and the others were even more panicked. They thought that the Chu people had tried their best to attack the Mohists, so they dared to cause chaos in the city.

Looking at it now, it is absolutely impossible for this battle to be fought like this, if it was caused by Mo Di's intentions and accidental, I am afraid that it has been prepared for a long time in advance!

If it had already been prepared, then did the Mo family not notice what happened in the city?Or did you notice it but pretend you didn't know?
If it's the latter, it's a bit scary!
It's just that at this time, I can't ask, and I can't say anything, so I can only think about it on my own, and the more I think about it, the more I panic.

Especially Dayin and others know that there is still a huge loophole on their side: those dead soldiers who burned the granary!

Even if the covenant has been completed, if this matter is exposed, how can people like myself gain a foothold in Shangqiu?

Those people can raise their spears to drive out the monarch, wouldn't they raise their spears to kill themselves and those who have done such a thing?

Did the Mohists know that it was the granary they burned?Do you know the various conspiracies and tricks in the city before?

Thinking about those constraints and oaths again, the nobles present were shocked, and they all thought that within ten years, they must not have other thoughts.

I just thought that the king of Chu had tens of thousands of troops and was still captured. Could it be that the private soldiers and dead soldiers under his command could match the tens of thousands of Chu people?

If the covenant is violated and Mo Zhe helps one of the three parties, what chance does he have of winning?
Zitian's face twitched when he heard the words, and after he stabilized his mind, he said: "Excellent! I'm afraid that the evil of the past may not have the courage of the Mohists!"

"Just report back to Mr. Mo Di, I will gather the people, prepare chariots and horses, and immediately form an alliance with the people of Chu!"

The Mohist disciple led away, leaving behind a group of nobles who looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to say, only endless shock and inner frustration.

It's not that I don't want to say some things, but I really can't say them in front of the Mohist disciples who "protect" them from harming each other.

Since only a dozen people were killed in the night raid, I'm afraid there must be a reason for the thunder in the night, and look at the strange balls and fuses tied to these Mohist disciples, how dare they say those words that may cause disgust ?

I just want to get through today's alliance in peace and stability, and be able to safely maintain the alliance of those ten years.

…………

At the top of the city, Mozi, who had already learned that Gongzaoye had done something important, sat there gasping for breath.

The spirit that had been tense all night suddenly relaxed, full of exhaustion.

Shi waited for people to be beside him, and he was also ecstatic.

Although the result is within expectations, as long as it has not been completed, there is a possibility of failure.

In case of failure, it is the most terrifying.

Once it fails, the Mohism will perish.

With the strength attenuated, there is no need to think about making appointments with the sword of the world, and you can only quietly be an academic group that makes empty mouths.

Mozi kept Shi and others in the city not only because they were not good at fencing and wielding swords, but also because they hoped that these people who were good at talking could survive and carry forward the essence of the Mohist if the Mohist elite were outnumbered by Chu Zhen.

Mozi's exhaustion is not only caused by worry.

This night, not only was there to worry about whether Gong Zaoye and others would succeed, but also to make preparations to gather forces early in the morning to take advantage of the chaos in the Chu camp if they failed.

In case Gongzaoye surrounded the king of Chu and failed to hijack him, he would need to mobilize the people of Shangqiu to take advantage of the chaos of the Chu people to fight back desperately.

Now that the matter is done, Mozi is finally relieved.

After panting, Yu Shi said with a smile: "Now the Mohists can be considered to be able to make an appointment with Shangqiu, and they can also use this battle to shock the world's warlike kings. This is a major event that will truly benefit the world."

"After this battle, if those warlike monarchs easily besieged Zheng, Song, Wei, Lu and other weak states, they would have to consider the reaction of our Mohists."

"If they want to besiege the city, they need to ask me, the Mohist giant, at least to explain that they are not fighting an unjust war, and they must make some sense."

Shi smiled and said: "What Mr. said is very true. This battle will definitely shock the world. In a few days, disciples will resort to it on grass and silk, and spread it all over the world's giant cities. It will be known to the world within a few months."

"Since Shangqiu can defend, then the rest of the countries can also defend. Even if we don't rely on our own Jedi counterattack to form an alliance, if the Jin people attack, invite Chu, and if the Chu people attack, invite Jin. How dare you launch an unjust war so easily?"

"The disciple has already prepared an article and wants to announce this matter to the world."

Mozi nodded and said, "It is most appropriate for you to do this kind of thing, but there is no rush right now. The most urgent thing is to do two things."

"To form an alliance with the people of Chu, we must ask the public now, so what about the alliance? Although we have drafted it, it is up to you to publicize it and let the people of Shangqiu know about it, so that they can discuss politics with the Duke of Song."

"Secondly, for the matter of Pei County, you still need your Xuanyi Department to do a good job of publicizing it. Song Gong's reasoning, I will say, is nothing more than emulating the vassal affairs of Xiaodi back then. But the people of Shangqiu need you to make it clear The requirements and merits of Pei County."

Shi led the way: "The disciple will take care of it."

Mozi sighed: "This thing must be done well. Whether it is defending the city or defeating the Chu people, it is just a process, and the ultimate goal is these two things. If these two things are not done well, then all of this is also worthless." It's the same as not doing it."

A few more warnings, after Shi took the order to retreat, Mozi looked at Shi's back and finally sighed.

For tonight's battle, Mozi has already determined that Shi deserves a lot of credit for the news and rewards he received before.

The Mohists have their own rewards and punishments, and there are some things that cannot be said, such as cheating the Chu people in the Yingene Temple, but even if these unspeakable things are removed, Shi’s meritorious service is still not small.

From the grass man paralyzing the Chu people at night, to the gunpowder breaking the formation and causing the Chu people to panic, so that the maps drawn and the lengths measured, all the details are the key to capturing the king of Chu tonight.

If any details were insufficient, things would not have gone so smoothly tonight.

Coupled with the previous coup in the city, the Xuanyi Department reversed the public opinion within two days, allowing the people defending the city to side with the Mohists to complete the persecution of the Song Covenant Alliance. The role of the Xuanyi Department became more and more obvious.

The most important thing is that Shi has a clear mind and a clear purpose. He has been able to distinguish the purpose of the means from the beginning of defending the city, and has never changed his original intention.

Once the matter of Pei County is completed, Pei County will be able to improve the system according to another rule designed by the Mohists.

In the city of Shangqiu, the contract with the Song Dynasty can also guarantee the activities of the Mohist in the Song Dynasty, and make Shangqiu City an important support point for the Mohist.

And more importantly, it is the sword that Shi once said about the world, and Mozi finally tasted it after this battle.

If the Mohists did not have such force, even if those covenants were signed, they might not be able to be implemented, let alone last for a long time.

There are too many things that break the oath, and Mozi knows that ghosts and gods may not necessarily send down punishment. Now it seems that having an independent armed force is the best way to restrain the warlike king of the world.

In addition to this incident, there is also the matter of the Shangqiu City's soon-to-be-established Advisory Council. In Mozi's view, this is also an attempt to restrain the king of the world.

This is the rule, so the rule of discussing government together and following the crowd is the greatest.

As for the righteousness negotiated under this kind of rules, it is not certain whether it is the righteousness that the Mohist thinks can be rationally summed up.

But Mozi thought that the Ministry of Propaganda and Justice can be propagated, so after the Xunzhengyuan became a rule, as long as righteousness can be propagated, then the minority obeys the majority, wouldn't it mean that the world is synonymous?
Tianzhi can be inferred rationally, and it can also be summarized rationally, just like those systems and morals in the world, at least Mozi thinks so.

This is what Mozi values ​​most, and it is also what Mozi thinks he can try to see the result in his lifetime.

He is over seventy this year, and he knows that time is running out. The original appointment with the sword of the world seemed out of reach, but now he can see if he can invite Song Gong.

If the state of Song can govern greatly, and can love non-aggression for thousands of miles, the same method can be used in other countries.

Even if he died, there are still disciples.There is also Qin Huali, Gong Zaoye, and Shi, who is only twenty years old, and they will have disciples after all.

Looking at the city of Shangqiu at dawn, Mozi suddenly thought of Lie Yukou's article, and muttered silently.

"Your heart is firm, but it cannot be penetrated. It was never like a widow and a weak son. Although I die, there will be sons; sons will have grandchildren, and grandchildren will have sons; sons will have sons, sons will have grandchildren; sons and grandchildren will survive." There are infinite deficiencies, but the mountains do not increase, so why bother with the injustice?"

"Although I have no heir today, I have disciples and party members, and I have scriptures written in cursive and silk. I die, but Mo Yan will not die. The world is here, why bother?"

This article comes from Liezi, and there are certain disputes with Mohism, especially on the discussion of the origin of the world.

The two sides exchanged swords with each other, passed on grass and silk to each other, and wrote righteousness in plain language, but this "Foolish Old Man Moves Mountains" is excellent.

Mo Zi also thought of the two legendary masters who were Shi, and could only say that Shi learned from them, but his desire to benefit the world was understood by himself.

The two think similarly in many reasons, but they have differences in many details. Now the Mohists rely on Shi Shi to walk out of a road that Mozi had been thinking about for 50 years, and he couldn't help being happy.

Thinking of this, he laughed three times, playing his sword and singing happily.

"The crane crows in Jiugao, and the sound is heard in the wild. Fish dive into the abyss, or it may lie in Zhu. In the garden of Lebi, there is a tree and sandalwood, and below it is a weed. Stones from other mountains can be wrong."

"The crane crows in Jiugao, and the sound is heard in the sky. Fish live in Zhu, or hide in the abyss. In the garden of Lebi, there are sandalwood trees, and the valley below it. Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade."

Thinking of Zhongni who once resented him for being born late for decades and being unable to argue with him, he said again: "Stones from other mountains can be wrong! Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. Choose the good one and follow If it is not good, change it!"

After laughing out loud, he retracted his sword and put it back into its sheath, dancing with joy.
