"Mo Xianglige of the South, why did you come to the camp of the Captain of Bendu? Could it be that he wants to make peace for the city, let our army give up attacking Ruyin, and let Qin give up attacking Chu? ”

As soon as Li said this, all the leaders in the tent laughed, in their opinion, of course, this is a fool's dream, but I heard that Nanfang Zhimo likes to do this kind of thing the most.

Heifu didn't laugh, but looked at Qin Mo Cheng Shang with a complicated expression, yesterday I heard Cheng Shang say that there may be ink people in Ruyin City to help defend the city, anyway, after being woken up, he couldn't sleep for a while, so Heifu sat with Cheng Shang for half a night and asked some about the origin of the Mo family's diversion......

It turns out that the early Mohists, when Mozi was alive, had three different divisions of labor: "those who can talk about debates, those who can tell stories, and those who can engage in them".

After the death of Mozi, the Mo family became increasingly divided, and after the incident of "Meng Sheng and one hundred and eighty Mo people dying in Yang Chengjun", the main body of the Mo family was greatly hit, and the various schools began to inevitably split. In the end, it was divided into three parts: the ink of the East, the ink of the south and the ink of Qin.

The ink of the East likes to talk about debate and storytelling, while the school mainly focuses on academic debate, they travel to various countries, gather under the Jixia, indulge in arguing with famous scholars, a bunch of theories, and also write books and theories, but there are few facts, and they slowly break away from the mass base and become metaphysical.

After entering the Qin State, they began to quickly combine with the upper echelons of the Qin State and made a lot of contributions to the rise of the Qin State. The Qin Mo giant belly tun (tūn) was still a guest of King Huiwen of Qin, so the Mo family, like the peasant family and the military family, was allowed to exist as a minority school by the Qin Legalist family, and was not brutally suppressed.

Now Cheng Shang and other Qin Mo are also his followers, Qin Mo's disciples often serve in Shaofu, and Qin's so-called "standardized" production, as well as strong military capabilities, are inseparable from Qin Mo.

And the ink of the south is neither academic, nor is it attached to a powerful national polity like a vine, but continues to walk among the people. They insisted on "fur brown for clothing, trampling for clothing, day and night, self-suffering as the extreme", emulating the ascetic style of the ancient holy king Dayu, and being regarded as fundamentalists in the Mo family.

They also inherited the Mohist concept of love and non-aggression, and in all wars, they played the role of helping the invaded small countries to resist the big powers, and often lobbied the princes to kill the army.

Yesterday, after giving Heifu science all this, Cheng Shang said to Heifu in a yearning but regretful tone: "I heard Tang Fuzi say that Song extinguishes Teng, and the ink of the south is in Teng; Qi destroyed the Song Dynasty, and the ink of the south was in Shangqiu again; The five kingdoms are together, and the ink ink of the south is in Jimo again, assisting Tiandan to defend the city......"

However, as the small state of Sishang was almost destroyed by Qi Chu and other countries, the scale of the annexation war of the Qin State became larger and larger, and the shadow of the ink of the south gradually faded out of the world's vision.

Unexpectedly, when the Chu State was in danger, they appeared in front of the Qin army again!

And, on the other hand!

Li Younai is a native of Cai, and when he was a child, he had heard about the deeds of Meng Sheng and Nanfang Zhimo, so with his eyes closed, he knew what this group of people planned to do! Therefore, the meaning of its origin was directly explained.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Lige didn't deny it, and said indifferently: "However, Xiang Lige just wanted to persuade the general to stop attacking Ruyin......"

Li You didn't bombard him directly, and sneered: "Those who have asked Mo for a long time are good at arguing, but you should talk about your reasoning." ”

Xiang Lige made a gesture and talked freely: "I heard that the laws of the Qin State are strict, if there is a person who enters the garden and steals his peaches and plums, everyone will hear about it, and those who are in power will be arrested and severely punished, why not?" It is illegal to benefit oneself at the expense of others. ”

Then, he began to make a long speech, and listed many illegal and unrighteous things such as people grabbing people and dogs, taking people, cattle and horses, and taking swords, and finally said:

"However, none of the above acts are as serious as attacking other people's countries! Attacking the country of men, razing its gardens, taking its dogs, pigs, cattle and horses, killing its people, and occupying its cities and temples is a great injustice! ”

Li You glanced at Qin Mo Cheng Shang, the meaning was obvious, he wanted Cheng Shang to refute it.

Cheng Shang could only bite the bullet and said: "However, the king of Chu usurped the throne by killing his brother, and violated the oath with the Qin State, and the army cut it down, just like Yu Zheng Youmiao, Tang Va, and King Wu cut down, this is a righteous soldier!" Zi Mozi can't help it! ”

"No!"

Xiang Lige immediately grasped this flaw and said: "Yu Zheng has Miao, Tang Fa Ji, and Wu Wang Hua are not attacking, but only punishing the culprit." Because its people are not able to make a living, it is the mandate of heaven to punish them. The three kings were ordered by Heaven to conquer in this way, and they did not burn and plunder, but established a new order, so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment......"

"This ......"

Heifu knows that Cheng Shang is an honest man, and Qin Mo is mostly "engaged" and is a good hand at doing practical business, but in terms of debate, where can he compare with Nanfang Zhimo, who is often responsible for lobbying and playing with some theories? Suddenly some words ran out.

Moreover, what Xiang Lige said later, with Cheng Shang's knowledge of the Mohist theory, is also irrefutable.

"The Qin army entered the Chu realm in the spring, and the spring farming of the two countries of Qin and Chu was wasted! If this war continues until the autumn, the harvest and storage of the people will also be delayed, and in this way, the people of the two countries will die of hunger, cold, and cold in a year, and there will be countless deaths! ”

"When the Qin army sent out troops, the bamboo arrows, feathers, tents, armor, spears, swords, halberds, and military chariots used were innumerable; Cattle and horses were fat and strong when they were brought, but now most of them are emaciated, and as for those who die and cannot return, there are innumerable; From Guanzhong to Chudi, the road is far away, the food is not continued, and the people are sick and tired and die of Tu Dao, and there are countless people! ”

"Furthermore, if the current general wants to attack the city of Ruyin two miles and the Guo of four miles, can he get it for nothing without the need for elite divisions and without killing or injuring the people? No, on both sides of the offense and defense, there will be tens of thousands of killings, and thousands of outnumbered people. The country of Chu has a radius of thousands of miles and hundreds of cities, so if you calculate it, there will be countless mourners in the Qin country! ”

These are all things in the "Book of Ink", which are irrefutable theories in the eyes of the Mo family, so Cheng Mo is speechless.

Xiang Lige took advantage of the situation to reprimand him: "Cheng Shang, you also call yourself the Mo Scholar, however, since the Mo family has been advocating the benefits of the world and eliminating the harm of the world. And now you have abandoned non-aggression and love, and contributed to the great harm of the world such as the unrighteous war, even if you have a clever skill, but you are no longer an inker, but a pseudo-ink! It's a public loss! ”

At the same time as Mozi, there was also a skilled craftsman, who was the famous Lu Ban, also known as the Gong Yi Ban. The public loss class did not have the attention of the Mo family, and helped the king of Chu to transform the siege equipment, invented sharp weapons such as ladders, and assisted the king of Chu to attack the Song Dynasty, so it was regarded by the later scholars of the Mo family as a person who ran counter to the Mo family.

Cheng Shang remembered that when the Qin army attacked the Chu State, there were indeed unrighteous acts such as killing prisoners, and the concept in his heart began to waver, and he couldn't speak for a while, so he could only retreat in shame.

After Xiang Lige reprimanded Cheng Shang, he pleaded with Li You: "Therefore, the war and the overthrow of the country, the thieves abuse the people, the revitalization of the gods, and the separation of the people are not beneficial to the two countries of Qin and Chu, nor to the heavens, nor to the ghosts and gods, but also to the people. ”

Li You's face was a little embarrassed, he originally wanted Cheng Shang to dismiss this guy, but who expected him to be quite effective in doing things on weekdays, but he was not good at arguing, so he was defeated.

But even if Xiang Lige said that it was broken, it was impossible for Li You to withdraw his troops, let alone to complain to King Qin about a truce, he had a good future, and he had to rely on this war to consolidate it, how could he do that kind of thing of self-abandonment of grace?

However, just as he was thinking about how to end up now, whether to take this person down and blast him away, Heifu, who was sitting down and listening to this debate for a long time, got up suddenly!

Heifu admired Qin Mo and Cheng Shang's practical work style, and was a little unhappy that he was defeated by Xiang Lige's arguments, and wanted to find him some ground, so he laughed.

"Xiang Lizi, are you and the ink masters of the south still living two hundred years ago, and you don't know the changes of cold, summer, autumn and winter?"
