Chapter 340 Breaking the city with surgery without blood ([-])

Qin Huali heard the words and said with a smile: "He is the most suitable person. So just let everyone know his ability, especially the ability in military strategy, and give him more opportunities? The more he succeeds the giant, the more in line with Mohist rules , the more difficult it will be for someone to break the rules and systems in the future? Within three terms, the rules will be stabilized, just like Zhou Li's son and Yin Shang brothers, deeply rooted in the hearts of Mohists and difficult to change?"

Mozi hummed, picked up the few battle summaries that were sent, selected the pages about the gunpowder city-breaking excavation tactics and the relationship between geometry and the will of heaven, and said: "These few pages of grass are suitable for talking about I want people in the world to know that Tianzhi can rationally introduce the best system, so let the world know."

"I think it can be published in the whole world and spread in big cities and giant cities."

Qin Huali wondered: "In this way, wouldn't all the warlike kings in the world know how to break a city with gunpowder? Isn't this fueling chaos in the world?"

Mozi raised his head and laughed loudly: "Li, you... are still obsessed with technique, but you don't focus on power."

"Since you and I are confident that the morality of Mohist originates from the will of heaven, then the more people in the world know the will of heaven and believe that the will of heaven can rationally deduce everything, the more people will introduce the principles of Mohism's system of the world in the future, won't it? Why should you care what those warlike kings use it for?"

"The appropriate argument is: the geometric nine numbers in Tianzhi can infer the victory or defeat of the city, Tianzhi can deduce the original principle of farming and all kinds of work, so what kind of system and rules can be deduced by Tianzhi will be the most beneficial world."

"If you find that the former is true, you will naturally believe that the latter should be true, and our Mohists' inferences about the system of the world are also derived from the will of heaven, so the general trend we want to take is to let people in the world learn more about the will of heaven , and believe in these learnings, we will naturally come to the conclusion that our morality is the most in line with the will of heaven."

It is said that the bird is slippery.

A few days later, the Mohist's internal decision was made, and the news of the breach of Tengcheng was immediately published. In addition to being "justified", the most important thing was to publish the full text of the article on the success of reason and heaven. The transportation of the town quickly spread throughout the Central Plains.

Tianzhi can defend the city, Tianzhi can break the city, Tianzhi can improve crops, Tianzhi can be good at all kinds of crafts... Then why can't Tianzhi rationally deduce what the most suitable world for all people will look like in the future?
For a time, the leisure class and tourists in the big city of Central Plains discussed "rationality" and "will of heaven".

This is dangerous.

Because just like the definition of geometry, Mohist’s definition of the future system of the world is based on "everyone is equal regardless of age, high or low, all are ministers of the emperor of heaven"; Maintain the rest of the power"; is "wealth comes from labor".

So from this foundation, reasoning rationally, it is inevitable to deduce some terrible, outrageous, disrupting the world, and ruining the world... the future.

It's just that, for the time being, it can't be seen that this is a huge wave, but it seems to be just a splash in the sea.

…………

Yuedu, Langya.

Goujian moved the capital here 80 years ago in order to fight for hegemony in the north. It has gone through several generations and experienced several coups.

Zhu Gou, king of Yue, who was appraised by Mozi as "the warlike king of the world", has passed away, and King Yi of Yue, who succeeded to the throne, has made every effort to maintain the hegemony of Yue.

Forming an alliance with the Three Jins, taking advantage of Qi's internal turmoil, humiliated the Marquis of Qi, but also let Yue Wang Yi know that the current Yue State is in decline.

If it weren't for the three Jins, it would be very difficult for Yue to defeat Qi this time.

Moreover, the internal problems of the Yue Kingdom have become serious to a certain extent. Yue Wang Yi knows very well that if he wants to maintain the rule and suppress civil strife, he must swell his face and pretend to be fat to maintain his current hegemony.

His father, Zhu Gou, came to the throne. He killed his father in a coup d'état and killed the King of Yue.

This left a deep impression on King Yi of Yue, and it also deeply affected the rest of his life: His younger brother instigated him to kill three sons in history. In the end, his son had no choice but to coup, but he lamented that he did not listen to his younger brother's words and exterminated his sons. .

It seems... the lesson of patricide is just patricide, and you don't have to worry about your younger brother killing your brother just because you are patricide.

Zhu Gou was regarded as the hero, and King Yi of Yue was also called the hero because of the first battle of Qi, but he only benefited from the civil war of Qi Guotian clan by borrowing his father's bequest, borrowing the military power of the Three Jins.

But in the end, the Yue State is still a big and powerful country that can defeat the Qi State, and it is supported by various legends left by Goujian.

But right now, someone has directly challenged the hegemony of the Yue Kingdom in the coastal area and Surabaya area!

King Yi of Yue stared at the trembling bird of prey below, and listened to his story of the battle in Tengdi.

He just returned to Langya yesterday, and was released shortly after being captured by the Mo family, and he was asked to bring a letter to King Yi of Yue.

The bird of prey didn't dare to look directly into Yue Wangyi's eyes, so he could only repeat the strength of the Mohists' volunteers, and relayed to Yue Wangyi what he had heard from the Mohists.

"The Mo family never dies."

"Break the city within a few days, and with the help of Thunder God, the city gate will be reduced to ashes."

"The fire medicine urges the lead pellets, which are more powerful than bows and crossbows. Touching them will kill you."

"There is no chariot, and the saddle stirrup hangs from the horse's back, flying vertically and horizontally."

"The spear array is like a forest, and the advance is like the collapse of Kuaiji Mountain."

... All kinds of news that he saw with his own eyes or heard from the Mohists spread to the ears of Yue Wang Yi one by one.

Prey repeatedly said: "It is indeed true!"

He repeated the process of the battle again, Yue Wang Yi couldn't help thinking of Hu Feizi and his party of Mohists who had stayed here before and then went to Linzi in Qi State, and couldn't help feeling flustered.

He didn't want to punish the bird of prey either. Listening to his retelling, he thought it wasn't a lie. He had indeed seen Hu Feizi demonstrate the horror of some of the Mohist's defense equipment.

However, the result of the siege of the city with no one killed was still difficult for King Yi of Yue to accept.

What is even more difficult to accept is that Mozi went to Linzi not long ago. Could it be said that Qi State was behind the capture of Teng this time?

If that's the case, there will be big troubles.

There was often news from Wu that the Mohists were mostly active in the hinterland of Wuyue, and some nobles of the Wu Kingdom were also extremely unstable recently and had many plans.

Now sticking to Langya is to maintain an appearance of hegemony and strength, and to suppress internal unstable factors.

But now, the Mohists actually took the initiative to challenge the Yue Kingdom, and achieved such a result... What does the Qi State think?What would the nobles think?What would those people in Wudi think?
King Yi of Yue opened the letter sent by the Mohists, written in both the Mohist script and the Yue people's script, and couldn't help being even more angry.

The Mohists directly accused him of being a belligerent king who practiced tyranny after occupying Teng, which did not benefit the people of Teng.After Duke Tengkao, for the people of Liteng, he begged the Mo family to set off to restore the country.

He also said that the Mohists had heard about the warlike behavior of the King of Yue for a long time, and hoped that King Yi of Yue would practice more benevolent and righteous policies.

King Yi of Yue let out an angry roar, his face was full of rage,

It seems that this letter is only talking about the matter of Tengdi, but...the Wu people themselves have not practiced any benevolent and righteous policies. Will you Mohists help the Wu people restore the country?

There are many small countries destroyed by the Yue Kingdom. In the Surabaya Valley alone, there are such countries as Zhuang and Tan. Do they think that I have not practiced benevolent and righteous governance, and you all help restore the country?

Everyone in the world thinks that Yue people and fierce tigers dare not offend you, but you Mohists think this is a sick cat, and you are afraid that others will not believe it, so you beat yourself up so that the world can see clearly?

What is even more hateful is the people of Qi. The more Wang Yi thinks about it, the more angry he becomes. If there is no support from the Tian family for this matter, the Mo family must not have the courage.

Otherwise, how to explain that Hu Feizi and others of the Mohist went to Linzi before attacking Teng?

If the Mo family's defensive and siege weapons were handed over to the Qi people, how could Lang Ya be able to defend them?Even if they don't hand it over to them, if a large army is sent to Teng, wouldn't the people of Qi take the opportunity to avenge their insults a few years ago?
The current Qi State is no longer the Qi State when the Gongsunhui Rebellion and the Three Jins attacked Qi.

Xiang Ziniu is dead, Gongsun will attach himself to Wei, Tian's internal disputes have temporarily settled down, and the two brothers are temporarily in power together, trying to find a way to oppress Marquis Qi. time of shame.

King Yi of Yue felt more and more that the people of Qi must be behind the scenes.

However... Now the situation in the world has changed, and no one can restrain Qi's recovery.

King Yi of Yue knew that the Three Jins were now in an inextricable fight with Chu, and it was impossible for them to put their minds on Qi's side. Naturally, Qi would not take the initiative to provoke the Three Jins, and it would be humiliating to take part in it. revenge?
The Mohists fought in Tengdi. Although the results were astonishing, King Yi of Yue didn't take it too seriously. After all, the Mohisthists were just a school and an organization before.

Maybe there are some people, and I am sure that everyone in the Mo family is extremely good at fighting, but it is only a few thousand elites.

The bird of prey was defeated by the Mohist family, and if he raised his own army to go there, the Mohisthism would surely be defeated. What he was worried about was Qi State after all.

After thinking for a long time, but unable to make a decision, he called the nobles to discuss the state affairs.

After Bei told about the incident in Teng, Yue Wangyi's younger brother Yu said: "Since this is the case, we need to send someone to Linzi first to inquire about the news. Send envoys to ask him why he violated the Qufu alliance."

"Since the Mohists are allied with Qi Tian, ​​we must guard against it. As the bird of prey said, and Hu Feizi said that the Mohists defended the city and retreated from Wei's attack. If the people of Qi defend the Great Wall with the Mohism and attack Langya with the Mohist techniques... I'm afraid we will be in danger. .”

Yue Wang Yi said: "Why don't I know? It's just that this time the people of Qi must support the Mohists behind their backs. If he doesn't admit that he has betrayed the alliance, what can he do?"

"If I go to Teng with an army and defeat Mo Zhe, and the people of Qi take the opportunity to cross the Great Wall and attack Langya, what will happen?"

Yu glanced at his elder brother, some thoughts secretly surged in his heart, and said: "Send envoys to Qi to question this matter first. Qihou is still here, so it's hard to say that he has betrayed the alliance. But it must be guarded against."

"The king is brave and unparalleled, and the Mohists are elite and brave. If the king personally leads the army, he may not be able to defeat them. If you send incompetent people, and the Mohists guard the city and cannot go down, the world will laugh at you."

Yue Wangyi nodded, he also knew that the Mohist city defense skills were unparalleled in the world, and he was quite conceited. If he wanted to maintain his hegemony and status, he might really have to lead the army himself.

Yu hurriedly said: "I can stand firm in Langya. In case the Qi people break the alliance and take advantage of the king's attack on Teng, the commander-in-arms attack, I can command the army to resist."

King Yi of Yue nodded and said, "You are also brave. The people of Qi know your name well. If you are here, the people of Qi may not dare to attack. If this is the case, first send envoys to inquire about the attitude of the people of Qi. During the period, the city wall of Langya will be repaired and strengthened. , build an acropolis."

"When everything is ready, I will lead an army of [-] to attack Teng, and ask Mo Di to blame!"
