Sending away the high-spirited Six Fingers, Shi took advantage of the wine to write a letter to Sheng Xuan, who had never been in contact since the reorganization of Shangqiu, in the name of the third giant of the Mo family and the disciple of Mozi.

The letter was written in very straightforward language, describing his various conjectures.

The gist of it is that, according to the reasoning, the Qin State has changed the law, and it has gradually become stronger in recent years, Shengqiu Wu Qi and others are also old, and the people of Xihe have gradually accepted the rule of Wei, so it is likely that they will attack Xihe in the past few years.

The distance is too far, the Mo family can't control it, although the Mo family hopes that there will be peace in the world and no war, although it is unjust for Qin to attack Wei State, although the current changes of Qin State are also oppressive to the people in the eyes of orthodox Mo families......

But this is an inescapable fact.

It is appropriate to say, although there is a contradiction between the two of us, although you rebelled against the Mo family, although you were not even qualified to mourn for three days when Mozi died, but ...... I also hope that you will remember the teachings of Zi Mozi back then.

Once you attack the West River, please do not harm the lives of the people, you must not slaughter them easily, and you must not bury prisoners alive and slaughter cities and other means, this is an act of harming the people......

This letter is completely like a ridiculous letter written by a righteous person like Song Xianggong.

But Shi believes that Wu Qi and others will understand Shi's meaning: the whole world knows that Wu Qi is good at seeking the country but not at seeking his life, that is, history has changed and he did not die in the coup d'état in the Chu State, but his character must remain the same.

Shi used the technique of "speaking and knowing" on the letter, which means that Wu Qi is victorious, you are old, you have a lot of credit, and you are an outsider with a foreign surname. I heard that last winter, Qin Jun gave birth to a son, and according to human nature, he wanted to leave a good political situation for his son - although the Mo family opposed this system of succession of fathers and sons, the reality is that the opposition does not affect the inference.

In addition, in the past few years, the Wei State has lost many victories and won less, and the national strength has been declining, so I guess you will attack Xihe soon. It's not good to leave such a big military merit for the future courtiers, after all, the child is still young, and when the time comes, the power of the nobles and nobles is likely to change the law repeatedly; I'm afraid of outsiders.

Ah, we are against this dog-eat-dog war, but we are powerless to stop it, so the only thing we can do is to hope that you will kill fewer people.

This is a letter full of conspiracy, all of which are telling the Qin State that you will have the best opportunity to attack Xihe in the next few years, and you don't know that I will tell you.

After writing, Shi put the letter away, asked someone to send it back to Pengcheng, and handed it over to Qiwu to check and pass, and then sent it out in his private capacity, after all, as a giant, there is no complete private letter, and those who should be stored in the file should be archived, and those who should be explained should be explained.

After writing the letter to the Qin people, Shi wrote another letter to the generals who were about to lead the troops and the Chu State to the north to the Zheng State, which was an open letter to be used in the future.

The letter said that in the future, the Mo family would negotiate with the Chu State to attack Wei Han together, and the Mo family would negotiate with the Chu State what kind of situation they would eventually reach.

It's not clear now, but nine times out of ten, there is definitely a chance that the talks will collapse, and once the news of the collapse of the talks has passed, no matter what happens, the troops will be withdrawn immediately. At that time, we must also be prepared for the possibility that the Chu people will suddenly turn their faces, although this possibility is very small, but we have to be on guard.

The route of the retreat should be planned in advance, and it is best not to be caught blind at that time, and it is best to retreat all the way to the Huai River along the Yingshui, and the organization will come forward to respond along the way.

When fighting in conjunction with the state of Chu, it should be fought, but the task of sending the cavalry to death should not be carried out, when the cavalry should be used and when should not be used, the initiative is in the hands of their own people, once it is obvious that this task is to send to death, refuse to carry it out.

After this letter was also written, Shi Chang breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the direction of Xinzheng, which was located in the northwest of Shangqiu, and thought: "The back road has been prepared for you, and the series of events caused by the coup d'état of the Song State will also end in Xinzheng, I don't know what kind of trouble you will make?" Don't worry about it, if something happens, I'll carry it for you. ”

…………

Xinzheng, Xu Miao and others naturally didn't know what they were preparing for Xinzheng, as well as the people in Xinzheng who followed them and gradually began to rebel and pursue interests.

But they were sure that since the letter said that they should stick to the principle of benefiting the people and not compromise too much, then it was obvious that they would make a big fuss, and there was no mention of how to solve it, and it was obvious that Sishang would go all out to support them.

As for how to support, it is not what Xu Qiao and others have to think about, and sometimes it may not be necessary to send the army to Xinzheng City to support.

They have been defending the city for 20 days, and it seems that if Wei Han does not increase his troops and artillery, he can hold it for a longer time.

At least Xu is full of confidence.

His means of building a new city defense without using the old wall have been tested in actual combat, and in twenty days, the Wei and Han coalition forces have left behind a large number of corpses, and the people defending the city are more confident.

The power of the nobility was constantly being depleted, because some necessary counterattacks required the nobles' private servants who were organized and active in offensive combat effectiveness.

The people have the support of the city, and the organizational power is gradually improved; The elite private servants of the nobles are slaves, and they can't be trained in a day or two, and the strength in the city is really one and the other.

For the Mo family, there is really no more comfortable publicity opportunity than defending the city.

The nobles needed the people to be strong in order to defend the city, and the people were organized together under the closure of the city, and the effect of propaganda was really twice the result with half the effort.

After more than 20 days of defending the city, the people in the city gradually became accustomed to the organization of the Mo family, and life in the city was also in order.

In the evenings, they teach literacy, tell stories, and sing songs full of violent resistance.

During the day, the head of the city guarded the city, and practiced in the open space in the city.

Every day is spent like this, and more and more people know what kind of Zheng Guo they should want.

For example, joining the non-offensive alliance did not pay tribute to the Sanjin or the Chu State; For example, each person is given a piece of land that belongs to him and cannot be bought or sold, and the land outside of this land can be bought*** For example, the king should have the consent of the people to levy taxes; For example, the abolition of feudal labor rent and feudal obligations; For example, the princes of the Son of Heaven did not always exist......

All these have allowed Zheng Guoren to really have a program, to imagine a perfect Zheng Guo, even if many are unrealistic, but after all, this is the first time that Zheng Guoren try to use reason to build a Zheng Guo that belongs to them.

They gradually came to know the source of suffering; gradually understood the lie of the noble Henggui; gradually became clear why the aristocracy was more literate than the common people; I gradually understood that the existence of kings and nobles was simply unreasonable.

Zheng Guo is also the easiest place to engage in this kind of propaganda, because Zheng Guo is one of the last remaining countries with the strongest tradition of civil political discussion, and there have been many expulsions of the monarch, domestic coups, refusal to serve, and so on.

The defection of the five people who entered the city from outside the city with songs singing that day made many Zheng Guoren learn more songs full of resistance and reminisce about the hardships they endured in the past.

Wei Han Zhijun is not a good thing; Zheng Guojun and the nobles are not good things either; Why do you have to choose one of the two pieces of dung when you know it's two pieces of dung?

There was no choice, but now there seems to be another option.

The mood in the city became more and more radical, and there were even several incidents of people clashing with the nobles because they did not obey their orders.

Soon after, because the food hidden in the homes of several nobles was not publicly distributed, a great chaos in the city was detonated: the Wei and Han coalition forces attacked outside, and the guards on the city walls should be guarded, but the remaining people in the city burned down the mansions of the nobles, tied them up and demanded execution, and there were bloody clashes during the attack on the nobles' mansions.

Although in the end, this matter was suppressed by the Mo family and the nobles by taking a step back and compromising to deal with it, but the problem was not solved, but only forcibly suppressed.

In this case, not only Zheng Junyi was terrified, but the nobles were even more frightened.

For the aristocracy, if the Chu State sends troops, is the Mo family the only force they can rely on?

Choosing the Mo family to rely on is an expedient measure, the sequelae are too great, the Song State is an example, and the sequelae is that it is likely that a large number of nobles will be killed by the people after twenty years.

For Zheng Junyi, Chu is not the best choice.

To him, an aristocratic bastard, a power-splitting power-grabbing, he is a puppet; The populace is also not a good thing, and it seems to be even more terrible than the aristocracy.

As soon as the night entered, Zheng Junyi in the palace room stood on the inner wall, and there were bursts of songs in his ears that would have been executed if he had sung before, and the bonfires in the city flickered, as if the bonfires were instigated by these songs to dance and sway.

Zheng Junyi frowned, the siege of the city for more than 20 days, there was no panic in the city, it is said that as the king of a country, he should be happy, but he is not happy.

Communication between the city and the outside has been cut off, and no one knows what is going on outside.

The high-level of the Mo family knew that the Chu State would send troops, but the Mo family would not send troops on a large scale; However, Zheng Guo did not know that the Mo family did not send troops on a large scale.

The singing started again, becoming more and more passionate, and Zheng Junyi said to the close ministers who spoke that day: "Did you hear this singing?" Do you know what it means when the people of the capital start singing some songs? ”

The minister nodded, he knew too well what it meant for the people of the capital to start singing together, which was often the prelude to the riots of the countrymen.

In the past, there was no program for the riots of the Chinese people, and it was a standard anti-man but not anti-system.

The people of the country have the power to parliament, and they still have the right to register in name, but they have no right to inherit, at most, they think that the monarch is a bastard, and they will change another one.

Now it is different, for the first time in this world, there has been a programmatic thing in the "rebellion", which is amazing.

Zheng Junyi looked at the flickering bonfire in the city, and suddenly asked, "Do you remember the eighth year of Xianggong?" When I think about what happened back then, and then I look at it now, I feel terrible. ”
