On the other side of the river.

On the lookout made of thatch and wood, a soldier of the division noticed the situation on the other side of the river, hurried to the bottom of the lookout, and shouted: "Company commander! Company commander, someone has escaped again, and someone is chasing after him! ”

Jumping over the thick pile of ash with his feet, the soldier who had escaped from the other side of the river two years ago seemed to recall the punishment he had been subjected to, and subconsciously touched half of his missing ear.

Although the wound had long since healed, every time he saw those who had escaped like him in the past few months, the missing ear would ache faintly, and the pain would inspire resentment in his heart, as if his chest was about to explode.

The ashes he had jumped over had been piled up and lit here every night, just to be able to guide the fugitives to their way. If you are questioned by the other side, you will talk about me lighting a fire on the other side, what are you waiting for?

It was fashionable and early in the morning, and there was still a hint of heat in the ashes, perhaps the people on duty last night had burned potatoes in it, and a few of them had jumped and rolled out with the wind of the soldiers.

In the camp, the soldiers have not yet eaten breakfast, and are washing their faces and brushing their teeth with pig's hair, which is a custom in the righteous teacher, and everyone must abide by it.

The soldier's shout immediately caused several soldiers who had either lost ears or had words tattooed on their faces and had been tortured with ink to throw away what they were doing and hurriedly gathered around.

When the soldier found the company commander, a sharp whistle sounded, and everyone quickly formed a team, took up their weapons, and ran towards the river.

The terrain is slightly higher and the river is shallow, making it an important place to cross the river.

When they reached the riverbank, the dozen or so fleeing men were only about a mile away from the river, but the cavalry could already be seen behind them.

The fleeing peasants on the other side of the river seemed to see hope, and mustered up all their strength, ignoring the pursuers behind them, and ran wildly towards the river.

But a man cannot outrun a horse in such a short distance, even if it is only a few hundred paces, and if he continues like this, it seems that he will be overtaken before he crosses the river.

Those stirrups that the Mo family aspired to "benefit the world" turned out to be a tool to hunt down and kill fugitive farmers at this time, otherwise how many people could ride horses in Fei Guo?

Seeing that he was about to be overtaken, the soldier on the bank of the river, who was missing half of his ears, couldn't help but shout: "Run! Come on! It was nice to be at the river! ”

The shouting was so loud that it broke the sound, and the last few words sounded like a bird's call.

He was right, it would be good to get to the river, because when all this was agreed, it was not bounded by the center of the river, but by the other bank, which was insisted on by the Mo family, and at this time, there was no concept of a very territorial border at all, and Fei Guo didn't want to make it too stiff with the Mo family because of these things, so he agreed.

This broken shout was not dispersed by the wind because of the roar of the river, because after he finished shouting, dozens of anxious and expectant voices shouted together.

These people who shouted were Yue, Song, Lu, and Fei, but they used to have the same identity as those on the other side...... Farmer under a fiefdom.

This emotional resonance makes this cry pierce the waves of the river, like the rain on the heads of desperate people traveling far away in the desert. I don't know if it's an illusion, as if the people on the other side are running faster.

A few soldiers anxiously stamped their feet or smashed their thighs with clenched fists, anxious for those across from them who were the same identity as them.

They can't cross the river because it's the rule, and there's a sense in it.

A few months ago, when they were just transferred here, they encountered an escape.

At that time, the young company commander, who had just graduated from the military academy, had to rush over with his men to beat up those who had captured the fugitive peasants and welcome those who were suffering to cross the river.

However, the company representatives held a meeting of the company's ink and backbone cadres, and at first the company representatives' opinions did not prevail, but in the end they persuaded everyone.

The soldiers remembered that the company representatives told a story at that time.

The story is simple.

Chu Vasui. Then he said, "I am not guilty."

Chu said: "I'm a barbarian."

At that time, Deputy Lian said: "Chu is susing, and he is not guilty of China's politics, so Chu should not be sustenance." But the king of Chu said, I am a barbarian and do not abide by the rules of China. ”

"Now, with the policy of the Israelites, those on the other side of the river are not guilty. It can be the policy of the other side, those who chase and kill on the other side of the river are guilty, and we have to wait for them to cross the river. ”

This company represents a man in his thirties, who is far more knowledgeable than these soldiers in the company, and tells the simple story very clearly.

After hearing this, a young soldier said, "Chu said that he was a barbarian, so he could be defeated." If we say we want to benefit the world, can't we be fined? Why should we abide by the rules that exist in the world? ”

When the soldier finished speaking, he immediately attracted a burst of applause. When even a few people shouted: "Company commander, company representative, cross the river and save it!" ”

But then the deputy said: "Chu is called a barbarian, and he wants to watch the politics of China." The king of Chu said, now that the princes are on the expedition, my Chu State happens to have some troops, so I want to participate in China's political affairs with this. Please ask Zhou Tianzi to recognize my king's name. ”

"But what about the consequences? The Duke of Qi Huan used the rhetoric of respecting the king to attack Chu, and the princes of the alliance attacked Chu, and Chu was defeated. ”

"Of course, we can say now, my Mo family, benefiting the world is the rule, and it is to sentence you to guilt, so we attack injustice. But...... What we have to face is the unanimous opposition of the princes and nobles of the world. ”

"Back then, Duke Huan of Qi used the king to dominate, and now Wei Qi can also use the 'respectful ceremony to cut ink' and entangle the world's troops. When the time comes, if Sishang falls, what will you talk about benefiting the world? ”

"It's like if you have an enemy, but you're just a child now, are you going to kill the enemy? This is the same reason, this is not to benefit the world, but to harm the world! ”

This is a company representative of an ordinary volunteer teacher, and it is also a daily conversation in a somewhat ordinary volunteer company.

Because it is ordinary, it is unusual in this world.

The passion of those soldiers was finally suppressed and persuaded by these words, and they were persuaded by reasons such as "I want to believe that the Mohist organization will not forget the heart of benefiting the world, and we must wait for the time being".

So today these people can only shout, and cannot cross the river.

After shouting a few words, the company commander, who had been silent, suddenly had a whim, and said to the company representative beside him: "The people of Sishang, there is no crime in going back and forth to Fei Guo. As long as we don't have weapons, we don't break the rules, they know who we are, but they don't dare to do it. ”

"If you don't help, these people won't be able to escape. If you want me to say, let me bring a few people over and stop them! ”

As soon as he said this, several people immediately shouted: "Good way! ”

The matter was urgent, and several people discussed it, and when they agreed, the four of them threw down their weapons, took off their military uniforms, and crossed the river bare-chested under the leadership of the company commander.

The company representatives calmly looked at the situation on the other side here, and the soldiers clenched their muskets in their hands and looked nervously at the opposite side.

The topless company commander crossed the river, and without talking nonsense, he immediately rushed into the crowd with those sturdy men, and shouted at the panicked and tired dozen people: "It's okay! ”

With that, the soldiers held hands, surrounded the dozen or so people behind them, and stood with their chests puffed out in front of the noble private soldiers who came to chase after them on horseback.

Those private soldiers looked at the topless Mo family righteous master, and couldn't help frowning, not knowing what to do, but they didn't dare to directly clash with these people.

So a few horsemen on horseback went around the back of the crowd and blocked the way to escape to the river, and the two sides confronted each other.

The other side did not dare to rush in directly to arrest people, nor did they want to go back like this. The righteous teacher can't move lightly, let alone take the initiative to hit people, so he can only go around the river in circles like an eagle catching a chicken.

After going around like this a few times, a very ordinary volunteer soldier who was shirtless suddenly thought of a "cunning" idea.

Since you can't manage it if you don't want to go to the river, what if you cross the river?

The cunning thought flashed through him, and the inconspicuous soldier looked at the rider who circled them, at the long black lump beneath a stallion, and thought of the pain of being kicked there as a child.

So, taking advantage of no one's attention, he stretched out his foot and slammed it under the stallion.

The stallion was originally on the bank of the river, and when Leng Bufan was so come, he suddenly couldn't bear the pain, as if he had been stung by a wasp, and jumped and rushed towards the river.

Extremely close to the riverbank, and almost instantly the horse's hooves were covered with water, and the soldier immediately shouted: "Chase the line!" It's out of bounds! ”

At this shout, the heads of several sturdy men who came over together were hot, thinking of their own responsibilities that they talked about on weekdays, their hearts were already suppressed with anger and resentment, at this time, where could they resist the inducement of these words, and turned around to be sure that the horse had rushed into the river, and immediately said: "Dare to cross the line!" ”

The words were about to fall, these men were brave and brave, and they didn't care that they were shirtless and had no armor and blades on their bodies, so they had to go against those who rode horses.

There were about 20 of these chasing soldiers on horseback, and the company commander had a hot head, but he was still sober, thinking that a company was behind him, but what were he afraid of at this time? Since they crossed the line first, if I don't go up at this time, how can I lead troops in the future?

Thinking of this, he took the lead, grabbed the leg of one of the riders next to him with both hands, pulled down hard, and punched the rider between the ribs.

On the other side of the river, the crowd did not see what was going on, except that a rider rushed into the middle of the river, and the other side scuffled.

When the representative looked at it, he heyed and shouted, "Go on!" So what are you waiting for? ”

With that, he threw away the firearm in his hand, lowered his head and picked up a stone from the river, and took the lead and ran towards the opposite side. The soldiers had long since held back their fires, and when they saw that even the delegates had gone up, they did not say much at this time, and either picked up a stone or took a twig, and crossed the river with a roar.
