After the task of the Xuanyi Department was basically completed, a part of it was selected as the first batch of prisoners to be returned to the Chu people.

A captive alive who has heard the propaganda of the Moist is far more meaningful than being captured and sent to work in the mines.

The reply of the Chu people is also very interesting.

It was only said that Mo Zhai was too old to ask Mo Zhai to go, but he hoped that the person who made Su Mai and argued with Liezi Yang Zhu and others could go.

Shi scolded secretly in his heart, but his face was still stable, and he only said that since the Chu people said so, he could only go, otherwise he would make the Chu people underestimate the courage of the ink man.

In fact, he was really worried that the King of Chu would detain him, but after thinking about it for a moment, he felt that this was the early stage of the Warring States Period, and he still had some credibility.

Moreover, in the future, the king of Chu can meet with the Qin people and be detained, thinking that the Chu people are also trustworthy, and they may not have such thoughts.

Coupled with those low-level nobles who were captured, the Mo people were ready to take the initiative to return them, and the Chu people would never be able to lose their trust in the world.

After thinking about the stakes, he should accept it, and said in his heart: "If I don't go, I'm afraid that the ink will laugh a lot." Although the giants pay attention to non-attack and non-fighting, these ink masters still have the heart of a ranger in their bones, and they definitely look down on people who have no courage. ”

Mozi did not refuse, and reminded: "The Chu people should not be dishonest, this is one of them. Second, Yangcheng Jun, Lu Yang Gong, Lu Yang Wenjun, these county princesses, I can also speak, even if the Chu people are untrustworthy, you are fine. ”

"If you go this time, you will return these captives, so that it will be difficult for the Chu people."

"If it is disposed of, it shows the benevolence and righteousness of the ink; If left unaddressed, these thoughts will sink into water like ink; If it is disposed of secretly, the ink man has his own way to make the scholars of Chu known, and the scholars will be chilled when the time comes. ”

Adaptation said: "The giant is at ease, the disciple is here, it is not suitable, but the radical of the Mo family, and he will not fall into the name of the ink person." I have no sword, but I have courage in my breast. ”

He wasn't actually weak, he was stronger than the average farmer.

But among a group of ink people who have been fighting and killing since childhood, they don't take their lives seriously at all, they seem to be a little weak.

Saying this, it immediately attracted the applause of several ink scholars, and they praised: "I knew that you had courage, but you still have courage among the ten thousand armies, but it is rare." ”

At this time, there is no story of Qin Wuyang, who killed people at the age of thirteen, who was so frightened that his legs trembled, but when some market rangers really saw the battle of ten thousand armies, they would often be nervous and turn around and flee.

Killing people in the market is not the same thing as keeping your composure in the army.

Shi knew that he had no way out, so he said: "Sir, this time I want to show my Mohist methods, and the art of defending the city is no longer necessary. ”

Mozi thought about it and said, "That's right. You have haste and wisdom, but you are afraid of being oppressed by force, so you will always have a few people follow you. ”

"If you go this time, you will deal with those urgent things, and let Gongzaoye follow the things of strength. The rest of the more than 20 people will be selected, and they must be comprehensive, and we must let the Chu people know our means, so that they will think that we are just to scare them and dare not attack the city, and then say something like leading the three Jin to rescue the army, so as not to let them perceive our intentions. ”

"Those prisoners, also select a few and bring them back together, so that the Chu army knows that we are true to our word. It is also good that the Chu people will not move their minds to detain you - the whole army knows that you are returning the prisoners, and if you are detained again, the king of Chu will not look good. ”

After discussing all the details, Mo Zhai looked at Shi Dao again: "If you can do one more thing, it will be excellent." ”

Shi asked, "Sir, please speak." ”

"The tower that day was erected, even though the moon was full at night, was still not clear. If you can trick the Chu people into lighting an oil fire on it, you will have a better chance of winning in the future. ”

After Mozi finished speaking, he also knew that this matter was difficult to do, not only to persuade and deceive the Chu people, but also to make the Chu people not perceive the true intentions of the Mo people, which was really difficult.

He didn't think of a solution himself, but he always felt that he was in a hurry, so he said it in the hope that he could think of a solution.

If you can't do it, there's nothing to lose. If you do, it's a bonus.

After thinking for a while, he said with a smile: "Sir, I don't like that the tower is not conspicuous enough, so I want the King of Chu to find a way to make himself light up, so that it is more convenient for us to hit with one hit?" ”

Mozi smiled, didn't speak, and couldn't think of anything to do for a while, so he said, "Since this is the case, the disciple will do his best." ”

…………

Two days later, Gong Zaoye was the chief envoy and the deputy second, followed by more than 20 ink scholars, plus some Chu prisoners, opened the small door, and escorted the captives to the Chu camp by car.

With a charcoal pen and paper booklet in his hand, he recorded everything he had said and heard, and two scribes disguised as charioteers, who were also secretly observing, jot down useful information.

Gong Zaoye stood aside, looked at Shi Shi and stopped, and said with a smile: "The Chu people will come to greet us in a while, I'm afraid that they will make some kind of battle to scare us." It's just that they don't know that you are young, but you have already opened your mouth before 10,000 people. ”

"We're here to do things, not to fight. Although I am a righteous envoy, as long as I don't fight...... I can't fight if I think about it, so it's better for you to take the idea. ”

"Do you understand what Mr. means when he told you to go?"

Shi carefully put away the papers, hid them in a secret compartment in the carriage, and replied: "It's nothing more than three things. ”

"Persuading the Chu people to withdraw from the army, if Mr. thinks it's okay, he will send people there long before the Chu people besiege the city, so why bother now? So these three things don't include this. ”

"First, let me observe the dynamics of the Chu people's camp, so that I can more accurately know where the camp tents of the King of Chu, Zuo Yin, Sima and other high-ranking officials are, remember their appearance, and prevent them from changing their clothes and escaping in the future."

"That's what we're going to do. I've been observing the Chu camp, and you'll be the one leading the righteous master and the ink master to attack. ”

Gong Zaoye nodded and sighed: "I have seen the King of Chu with Mr., but the King of Chu has died, and the new King of Chu has not seen it." ”

Shi laughed and said: "If this thing is done, who will not know your name in the future?" In the past, Cao Mo also relied on the alliance to kidnap the Marquis of Qi, if you do it, you will be the king captured among the ten thousand armies, the warlike king of the world, who would dare to take the words of the giant seriously? ”

Gongzaoye thought of the scene after it was done in the future, and his heart was full of pride, and he patted the carriageway: "If this is done, I can go to see an old friend and tell him what true courage is." ”

After speaking, he unconsciously touched the scar on his face, and Shi kept wanting to ask, but he still didn't open his mouth after all.

At this time, Gongzaoye still didn't say anything, so he asked: "In the past, Luo Qianli didn't know, you persuaded with a wooden stick, can't your old friend be like this?" ”

Gong Zaoye shook his head solemnly and said: "No, this person's swordsmanship is on par with me, and his courage is unparalleled, but he only knows the small righteousness but does not know the great righteousness." I had advised him, but he only said that if I could be a gentleman, I would talk to him again. ”

Shi has never seen the swordsmanship of Gongzaoye, but Luo Qianli's swordsmanship has been seen, and he didn't know that there were such market figures in the world...... If you are not a person in the market, you are afraid that you can't know the small meaning but not the big righteousness as the public smelting said.

Gongzaoye thought for a while, and then didn't mention this matter again, and said: "Actually, the remaining two things, even the first thing, are for our ultimate goal. ”

"The second thing is to find a way to convince the Chu people that the Mo people are only willing to defend the city, so that the Chu people will relax their vigilance, and they will not think that we are ready to attack through the formation and hold the prince hostage."

"Third, it is to find a way to make the location of the King of Chu more exposed, or to make it more convenient for us to raid and find the right direction at night."

Gongzaoye thought for a moment and said: "I think of more than these three points, but in fact they are not clear, and it is really these three points." In this matter, I am inferior to you. ”

Shi smiled and said, "In this way, is there an all-powerful person in the world?" Even sir, he still can't shoot well. But in the world, as long as you can do what Mr. said, people can make the best use of their talents, and they can be governed. ”

Gong Zaoye sighed and asked, "How sure are you about the third thing?" ”

Shi shook his head and said: "We still need to know the temperament of the King of Chu during the conversation before we can grasp it." Only as much as possible. ”

…………

When Shi and others entered the Chu army barracks, some people had already come, but they did not embarrass everyone, and they had all the etiquette.

It is suitable to follow behind Gongzaoye, and all etiquette is handled by Gongzaoye, and he secretly observes the situation of the Chu army and keeps it in mind.

The Chu people were still experienced in besieging cities, and they also built some simple obstacles to prevent sneak attacks in the city, but the problem was not big.

Someone led these ink people, and after entering the Chu camp, they handed over the captives first, and took the opportunity to preach some not-so-radical truths of a wave of ink people, and the Chu people didn't care because these truths were not so radical.

When guiding these ink people into the camp of the king of Chu, Gong Zaoye glanced back, and the two nodded to each other, this camp was indeed the place that the ink people chose to help the Chu people choose.

Next to it was the tall wooden tower, which was just the right place for the command.

Outside the huge cowhide tent, there are many sword-wielding warriors, and the chariot is also on the side.

Entering the tent, the nobles lined up, and did not deliberately make a fright.

After seeing the salute, Shi quietly glanced at the king of Chu, who was thirty or forty years old, and looked extremely strong.

After the guests and hosts sat down, they each had their own introductions.

When Shi was about to speak, he didn't want the king of Chu to take the lead, so he asked loudly: "It is rumored that the ink is beneficial to the world, I have a question today, I don't know if you may answer?" ”

King Chu looked around and asked slowly, "Is the world evil?" ”

After the ink person relayed it, Shi almost subconsciously replied: "Set in one!" ”

The ink artist has its own internal rules, and the questions answered this time are all suitable for this deputy to call the shots, and immediately someone on the side replied without thinking: "It's set in one." ”

The king of Chu may not have expected the ink man to answer like this, and originally wanted to persuade the ink man to agree, but he didn't want the ink man to reply directly to one, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

So he asked, "Why do you want to defend the city, since you think that the world is one?" On the one hand, you said that you hoped to benefit the world, and you knew that the world was set to be one, but you also helped the Song people to defend the city. Isn't this a man who likes to eat sweet, but does not eat zimmer and goes to eat salt? ”
