Chapter 856 The Enemy Is Inside the Xiao Wall
The few nobles who were still awake and looking forward to the Mozhe as if they were looking forward to the last straw suddenly collapsed, looked at the indifferent Mozhe in disbelief, and asked in a slightly trembling voice: " Can't keep it?"

"Can't hold it anymore."

The Mohists repeated their answer just now, and it was no different from before, as if they said that the water of the Yellow River would flow eastward.

Xu Ruo looked at these nobles who were on the verge of collapse with a calm face, and naturally chose to continue to live to preserve their strength.

Originally in history, he committed suicide and died, and thought it should be so.

Because in that period of history, Meng Sheng became a giant, he believed that the Mohists had to rely on nobles and monarchs to realize their dream of benefiting the world.

That being the case, it is necessary to show the value of being used, to be true to what you have said, and to show your means in defending the city.

Meng Sheng believed that if the Mohist would not die, he would have broken his promise. Who in the world would use Mohism again?How can the Mohist's great righteousness to benefit the world be realized?

Meng Sheng was right, but this moment is no longer that moment, so it is not wrong for Xu Ruo to be alive.

Because in the previous letter, Shi has clearly stated that the Mohists do not need to rely on any noble monarchs now, and they can even stop relying on the contradictions between the nobles and the monarchs to fight against the noble monarchs together.

That being the case, Xu Ruo couldn't find a reason to die.

He wants to live, fight for a better life for those who are alive, and fight for everything they deserve.

Besides, the reason why the Mohists defended the city this time was very simple: Wei and Han attacked without signing the non-aggressive covenant, and Xu Ruo and others defended the city for only one reason—to make the nobles and monarchs agree to the demands of the people.

Now that we can't keep it anymore, and since these nobles are going to die, then Party B of this contract will have to be replaced—Party B of the contract is the owner of the land fief, not a person.Whoever inherits the fief and land is Party B, not the body of these nobles. Since people are the sum of all social relations, then with the change of ownership of the fief, the current nobles are no longer the nobles of the contract party B. , naturally invalid.

A hero finally stood out among the panicked nobles.

"Today, if you fight, you will die, and if you don't fight, you will die. A gentleman in the world should seek great things."

"The enemy is in the wall, the enemy is in the palace, you all follow me to kill the traitor!"

"It's nothing more than death. Why bother to suffer the humiliation after being captured? Don't the lords think that we 'Kingslayers' can still survive?"

Of course, these words were spoken to the nobles. After all, what the Mohist recited was "a thief who harmed the world", not a "thief who killed the king".The Mohists are equal without a king and love without a father. They don't even have a king, so naturally they don't have to kill.

This noble also understands that the Mo family and them are more of a temporary cooperative relationship, but he knows that there are so many heroes among the Mo family, and he inevitably hopes that relying on these words can inspire some people's blood, and a dash may really turn the situation around. unknown.

However, those Mozhe stood there motionless like a piece of wood, without a single hero.

The noble called on many nobles who were at a loss. What is needed at this time is the courage to raise the flag forward.

These nobles were just about to rush forward, but a few Mohists stopped in front.

"What do you mean? If you don't help me fight back, do you still want us to surrender? Surrender is death. Do you expect to rely on your righteousness of universal love to save us from slaughter and humiliation?"

The leader Mohist smiled and said: "If it is useful to reason, the third time to eliminate soldiers has been achieved about 20 years ago; Dading."

"If you go here, you will die. If this matter is really Zheng Jun's treason, then Wei Han will not respond?"

The nobleman was stunned when he heard the words, not knowing what Mo Zhe meant, but he didn't want the Mo Zhe to say: "Since you are bound to die, you only need a hole three feet after death, no amount of land is useless."

"Since that's the case, why don't you fulfill the contract before you die? Write a document and return all your land to the people?"

"The people are the most kind, and we can also be a guarantee. Although our Mohist burial is light, the people will gather your corpses and bury you generously; your wives and we can also take care of you."

Those nobles were originally high-spirited, prepared to die on the way of charging and shining their swords with a mortal heart, never thought that these Mohists would be such a spoiler, and they would not forget to take advantage of the fire at such a time.

The leading nobleman sneered and said, "The matter of death and life, and heroism, have no effect on you at all. It is true that a gentleman is a metaphor for righteousness, and a villain is a metaphor for profit. To you, these righteous heroes are not as good as a few acres of land?"

Mo Zhe smiled, shook his head and said, "Whatever you say. Besides, I have something to convince you."

The nobleman was stunned, and snorted: "If these are all self-interested and meaningless words, I don't think you need to say them."

Thinking of the result of the discussion just now, the Mohist said solemnly: "Will Wei and Han agree if you leave it to us? If they don't agree, the people will naturally oppose them. One day in the future, when everyone rises up, you will be avenged. Isn't it beautiful? "

"You are going to die here, and who do you expect to avenge you? So, instead of dying like this, it is better to do something before dying. It is always better than not doing anything."

At this time, there was a burst of chaotic noise from the west, and the smoke and dust there was getting bigger and bigger. The nobles knew that they had no time, and they also knew that going to death was a certainty.

Before dying, when he heard the words about revenge, he finally let go of the anger just now, nodded and said: "That's it, very good!"

After all, the Mohist immediately took out a document that he had just drawn up. The written meaning was very simple, that is, all the fiefdoms of these nobles were given to the people, and those who agreed would sign their names and leave their tokens.

These aristocrats knew that they must die, and they no longer missed it. They were helpless to be forced into this position, and wrote down their names one after another.

Then holding the sword and shouting a few times, some loyal soldiers and some people who were influenced by this kind of heroic sword spirit really followed, there were hundreds of shadows, and they rushed towards the west.

As soon as the nobles left, Xu Ruo asked, "Even if the documents are in hand, will Wei Han agree?"

The leading Mohist smiled and said: "The result is self-evident, they will definitely not agree. But the key to the problem is the reason for their refusal."

"How do you think they would say no?"

Xu Ruo thought for a while and said, "There may be many. First, they don't need a reason. They think this is an unprecedented thing. They don't need to think about it or discuss it. They just refuse it for granted."

The leading Mohist smiled more and said: "It's so good. The people of Xinzheng will know that Zhengjun, Qimu, or Wei Hanzhijun are all the same, there is no difference. They will be angry, and they may hold back for a while. But when someone shows them the hope of winning one day, they will definitely stand up."

"The task given to us by the giant is to awaken the people and make them angry. After our task is completed, the people will fight for their own interests someday in the future."

"very good."

Xu Ruo nodded, agreeing, and then said: "Second possibility, they will think that the world is fighting. Although the land is divided, after the country is destroyed, it will naturally belong to the victorious country. They have the right to distribute it."

The leading Mohist laughed even more, and said: "Since that's the case, are they telling the people that they can snatch others' property today, and when the people become stronger in the future, they can also use the same reason to snatch it back?"

"I like this reason. This reason simply means that whoever can fight the most should get the land. In fact, the people are the most capable of fighting, especially after they have muskets and iron weapons. Therefore, the same reason is used to take back the land. The people The only bit of guilt in my heart is gone."

"Just like the story told by the giant, the common people asked why the nobles had so much land, and the nobles said that it was passed down to him by their fathers, and the common people asked where did your father, father's father and ancestors' land come from? The nobles Say, that’s the battle. The common people can say, then we will do the same thing as your ancestors today.”

"I think it's a good reason, and I like it."

Xu Ruo also smiled, nodded and said: "I understand, Wei Han doesn't admit it, for us the goal has been achieved, no matter what reason they use, they can let the people understand their shamelessness and silverfish nature."

"If Wei Han admits it, then our goal has also been achieved, so that the people can really get the land, let the people know that the previous rules are not taken for granted, and they can get what they want through struggle."

"The only worry is that they will raise their butcher knives..."

The leading Mozhe laughed even harder, raised his head and said, "As long as Sishang still belongs to the Mo family, and as long as Sishang has a righteous teacher who can kill the princes of a country at any time, they will not dare. When raising the butcher knife, What they are worried about is not only our Mo family, but also the state of Chu and Qin, they will not conquer Wei and Han for the sake of massacre, but they will definitely send troops to snatch benefits because of the endless war between us and Wei and Han."

"The chief general of Wei Han dared not kill, Uncle Cuo did not dare to kill, and Wei Chi and Han You did not dare to kill."

"They seem to have fangs and claws like the dodder, but their dodder is made of grass."

He patted Xu Ruo on the shoulder, and concluded with a sentence commonly used in Sishang Theater: "Don't worry, the good show has just begun."

Xu Ruo asked, "So, what about now?"

"Now?"

The leading Mohist spread his hands and laughed loudly: "Since Party B who signed the contract with the people is dead and needs to be replaced, then there is no need to guard the city."

"Propagate the order, raise the white flag, gather the soldiers and civilians who defend the city, and prepare to sacrifice the city. In addition, they must also gather to prevent the soldiers of Wei and Han from killing and looting. All the Mohists wear the red armbands of the Mohism to maintain order. .”

"The people gather and wait for the generals of Wei and Han to enter the city."

"Raise the white flag!"
