The news of the slaughter of 10,000 households, in the mouth of the scouts, is just four simple words like slaughtering the city and burning the city.

Even with the horror and grief on the scout's face, it was difficult to tell the cries of thousands of women and babies among them.

Gong Zaoye's face was relaxed before, and the emotions that were shocked by this news were frozen at this moment, and he even forgot the change of expression.

The massacre of the city is common in the times, and the forced relocation of people is even more common.

But Gong Zaoye has been in the Mo family for decades, and has heard too many doctrines of love, benevolence, and benefit to the world, and in his heart he has taken things that he is accustomed to in this era as unusual.

After being stunned for a long time, Gongzaoye realized that after all, the Mo family was an outlier in the world, and he stayed in the Mo family for too long and forgot the original appearance of the world.

After a long time, he waved his hand weakly, indicating that he knew the news.

After sitting alone in the tent for a long time, he suddenly drank, "Wine!" ”

He hadn't been drunk for a long time, and the last time he was drunk was the day when the news of Nie Zheng's assassination of Qin and death reached Sishang.

The wine in Sishang is very strong, and it is already a white man's smelt after many years, and he is drunk again.

The Mo family has discipline, especially the Mo people who joined after the reorganization of the Mo family in Shangqiu more than 20 years ago, discipline is the first thing to observe.

Gongzaoye used to be a hero in the world, and when he was a hero, the Mo family had not yet been reorganized, even if he abided by the discipline of the Mo people as one of the seven enlightenment hazards in the past twenty years, and would not drink alcohol before the war in the military tent.

But today he misses the days when he was a hero, holding a sharp blade, and asked the world, who has injustice?

Since decades ago, the person who was soaked in sweat on his legs because of running around had a long conversation with him for a few days, he recognized the discipline of the Mo family, the righteousness of the Mo family's non-fighting and non-attacking, and since then he is no longer a hero, but a Mo man.

Today, he suddenly remembered when he was a hero. If it was still a few decades ago, when he was in the prime of life and had a long sword in his hand, the person who ordered the slaughter of the city today, even if he fought for his own life, would have carried his head and drank bitterly in the downtown area, and waited until the death of the armor warrior who was surrounded by the armor and the armor broke away with the sword.

Even if you die, you can't do it, but at least you do it, and you can be happy in your heart and leave no regrets.

Nowadays, things are getting bigger and bigger, but they are less enjoyable than they were decades ago.

After getting drunk, he wrote two letters.

Early the next morning, a herald rushed towards Pengcheng with a letter from Gongzaoye, who had been a hero all night last night.

The herald could not read the contents of the letter, and the handwriting on the letter was extremely sloppy, with a drunken frenzy.

In addition to telling the news of Wucheng's slaughter, only in the last line, with a dragon flying phoenix dance, it seems that the words are also drunk and about to fly out of the paper, and a simple line of words is written.

"Please sign the unjust order, and anyone who orders to slaughter Wucheng can kill him in the name of the world!"

As a giant, he is the head of the Mo family, and he can issue an edict to punish injustice and call on the ink people in the world, of course, this needs the permission of the synonymous association of the ink people before it is issued by the giant.

The righteousness of the Mohists pays attention to "only harm is not guilty", but the order to punish injustice is not among them.

The Mo family has been so many years now, and the last time the giant issued an order to punish injustice was when the Mo family had just settled in Peiyi, when it was appropriate to poison and kill those witches.

At that time, those witches were also considered to be "innocent of harm", because there was no decree saying that it was sinful to harm the people and deceive the people by sacrificing the living.

The Mohists pay attention to treating everyone equally, if it is a crime to sacrifice a living person, then it is necessary to kill almost all the princes in the world, many princes are still martyred by living people, and the most barbaric Qin State even ordered "stop following the martyrdom and prohibit the sacrifice of living people to Hebo" after Nie Zheng assassinated Qin Gongzi and seized power.

That time, the Mo family used the injustice order issued by the giant to kill Wu Zhu in the name of harming the world.

That was twenty years ago, and at that time, the giant son of the Mo family was still Mo Zhai, who had passed away.

At that time, the Mohists discussed the scope of application of "only harming not guilty" and "punishing injustice", and since then, the Mohist giants have the right to issue two kinds of Juzi orders as giants after being voted by the Mohist Synonymous Association.

One is the "amnesty order", which applies to the family law of the Mo family, the so-called "pardon of punishment but not of sin", the amnesty order exempts the Mo family from punishment but does not pardon the person's guilt.

The other is the "Punishment of Injustice Order", which applies to the world, and as soon as this order is issued, all the people in the world are enemies of the person wanted in the order, or stabbed or plotted, and their heads are taken, "in the name of benefiting the world, this person is sentenced to death."

This needs to be proposed by the giants, voted on by the syndicate association, and can be passed as long as more than half of the votes do not object.

The rules have been set 20 years ago, and the Mo family did not use it once 20 years ago, when the prince of Chu fled to Zheng State, some people also had the world in their hearts, and felt that the prince of Chu would flee to Zheng Guo Jing Chu would be chaotic, and ten thousand people would suffer, so it was better to kill one person to benefit the people of Chu.

Even so, the decree of injustice was not issued.

Now, the drunken Gongzaoye is in a big way, and he directly suggests using the "Punishment of Injustice Order" that has not been used for 20 years, which will surely shake the world.

…………

A few days later, Pingyin City.

On the remnants of the city walls, which had been bombarded by artillery and gunpowder, Shi watched the volunteers who had stepped over these remnants and received from the heralds a letter from the country of Fei that had been paid for by the public smelters.

The advent of gunpowder changed the mode of warfare, not only in the field, but also in attacking and defending cities.

The old city walls could not stop the bombardment of gunpowder, especially after the Mo family formed a special sapper for digging pits and burying explosives, even those new city defenses that used geometry and Mozi's "walking walls" were difficult to defend.

Now the Mo family has gone down to the eighteen cities, almost all of them are bloodless, but Pingyin has wasted some effort.

This is an important border town of the Great Wall of Qi, and a large number of nobles along the Jishui River fled to defend here.

After concentrating his forces and waiting for the arrival of heavy copper cannons that were not suitable for field warfare and feint Chengyang, it took two days to capture Pingyin City, of which more than a day was left for the sappers to dig pits.

10,000 Qi troops were wiped out, more than 200 nobles were martyred, more than 400 nobles were captured, and there were more than 300 people in the Nakata clan and its branches who were captured.

Pingyin was broken, which meant that the defense line of Qi collapsed on the whole line, and the only Linzi army that could fight was still in Lu State, and Jiaodong and Ju Legions were copied by Mojia Xiliu and did not dare to move.

After the Great Wall, you can go straight to Linzi, more than 20 years ago the three Jin Dynasty Qi is to break through Pingyin after the Qi State will ask for peace, Qi Hou tied himself to admit his mistakes, and please seal the three Jin as the Hou.

Today's situation is not much better than it was back then. In the past, although there was the rebellion of Niuzi and Gongsun Hui, today there is also the Nanjishui War, except for the Linzi Legion, the Qi State has no longer resisted the power of the Mo family.

At this time, it was not the remnant sun like blood, because the attack began from the morning eclipse, and the siege battle had already ended at noon, with the collapse of the city wall and the fall of the city gate, at this time, the organizational strength of the Qi State could not organize the street battle at all, and Pingyin had been taken in one go.

Besides, if it was to wait until evening, he would be afraid that he would order another attack tomorrow, and it would not be convenient to enter the city at night.

A few days ago, he had already heard about the slaughter of Wucheng.

Today, I received a letter from Gongzaoye, which is probably also related to this matter.

The smoke of gunpowder still has an aftertaste, and it is suitable to open the letter, and it is skimmed hastily, and I can't help but sigh.

Gongzaoye's letter was as simple as what he usually spoke, and he didn't introduce too much about the slaughter of Wucheng, but directly said some stinging and appropriate words.

"Yes."

"The dispute between Qi Guotian Tan and Tian Wu, you once said, I believe your inference about the situation. In this battle, there will be a battle between Qi Tian Tan and Tian Wu. ”

"I heard that you won a big victory in Nanjishui, which is expected. If one day, you pass a book on Sishang, saying that you killed Tian Qing and captured Tian Wu, I will not be surprised, of course. ”

"You do things, ask for ten or twenty years later. You do things, don't look at the eyes, don't act heroically, calm and composed, calm and composed, I always think that you don't love this world at all, don't love the world. But every time, maybe five or ten years later, I will understand. ”

"When you do things, if you have objections, you always like to say, 'Keep this evidence, and look at it the day after tomorrow', if you do it again and again, there is no one among the ink people who oppose your opinion, even if there are doubts in their hearts, but those things before have made them naturally feel that they are not thoughtful enough and long-term."

"I know that if you really capture Tian Wu, the best way is to release Tian Wu and let Tian Tan and Tian Wu fight, so that you can benefit from the Mo family when you benefit the world in the future."

"If it had been in the past, I would have agreed."

"Today, Wucheng was slaughtered."

"If you capture Tian Qingtian and release him at noon, I will oppose it."

There is no righteousness in it, there is no reason, it is not like an exchange letter between ink writers, but more like a private letter between heroes and friends.

Gongzaoye didn't say much about it, but at the end of the letter he wrote a sentence I disagreed, followed by his name and date, and nothing else.

The messenger who delivered the message had no words left.

Shi looked at this letter for a long time, and looked at the sentence that Gong Zaoye seemed to be indifferent at the end of the letter, and suddenly felt that this letter was extremely heavy.

Gong Zaoye understood his thoughts, and his thoughts were also in harmony with the high-level of the Mo.

In history, Tian Wu killed his brother and ascended to the throne, and the dispute within the Tian clan that lasted for decades after Tian He's death finally came to an end.

Tian Wu's ascension to the throne also laid the foundation for the centralized reform of his son King Qi Wei.

The relationship between Tian Tan and Tian Wu is a bit like the relationship between Zhao's Gongzi Zhang and Gongzi Dynasty, except that Zhao's victory is Zhao's "Tian Tan", and Qi's victory is Qi's "Zhao Dynasty".

The letter of Gongzao Ye is actually very heart-wrenching.

But he can understand the indignation of Gongzaoye when he wrote this letter.

So he chose a piece of the wall that was fairly smooth, with the smell of gunpowder remaining, and asked the herald to bring a brush and paper just as the army had marched into the city.

Spreading out the paper, Shi didn't write too much righteousness, and wrote a reply in a tone like a personal relationship.

"Brother."

"The Mo family is for the benefit of the world."

"Conquering the world is only a means, not an end."

"To benefit the world, it is necessary to change customs, turn things upside down, and reshape the righteousness of the world."

"If I release Tian Wu for the Mo family to seize the world, it will be a reversal of the end and means."

"At that time, what is the difference between my Mo family and those unrighteous kings who raise unrighteous soldiers for the sake of the day?"

"The ink should benefit the world, and the benefit of the world is the goal, and the world is only the means."

"And I'm the one who inks."

"You and I comrades are of one heart and one mind, and there is no need to say more."
