People see ghosts as ghosts because ghosts are different from people.

Ghosts see people as people, and it is also because people are different from ghosts.

Ghosts and cannibals are because of the righteousness of ghosts, cannibalism is a matter of course, and not eating is an outlier.

Instead of feeling ashamed and wrong because they feel like they are eating people, people just think that ghosts think it is a cruel thing.

Some people regard this group of people from the Mo family as ghosts, but in the eyes of some Mo people, this is a good thing.

At the very least, this is closer to Mozi's meaning of love: at least no one sees the difference between the Qi people and the Surabaya people, so much so that they have to die for this reason. Kyushu people and Kyushu people can love both, but Qi people and Surabaya people can't love both.

A few days later, these ghostly inkmen did another thing that made the people of Guyi jaw-dropping.

The Mo family actually organized those captured Qi people to dig and repair the Nanji River, which had been flooded, and did not let these captives build the city wall for future wars.

Just do what you say, without the slightest prevarication and delay.

The people who were able to benefit from the straightening of Nanjishui spontaneously participated in it, and the army, which had thousands of management experience and the organization skills that had already existed in the Mojia city defense technique, quickly distributed this matter in an orderly manner, and the progress of the excavation could be seen every day, and it seemed that it could really be completed in more than a month, so as to completely eradicate the flooding brought by this section of Nanjishui to Guyi.

Those who benefited from the Mo family's actions asked with a hint of anticipation, "Aren't you leaving?" ”

If you can ask this sentence, it is already equivalent to eating pot pulp.

Liuzhi, who stayed in Guyi to deal with these things, replied in a very formal "Mojia" style: "It doesn't matter whether we leave or not, whether we stay or leave, the important thing is that this ditch can really benefit all the people." In that case, why not do it? ”

"Shi Zeng said, don't take the benefit of the small and do it, and don't do the harm of the small. Even if we leave one day in the future, but the Nanji water will never flood Guyi again, then that will be enough. ”

The ambiguous answer moved the people inexplicably, but some people had different ideas.

Some of the spies and scouts of the Qi army, hearing this, quickly came to Wucheng and returned the Mo family's presence in Guyi.

Before they reported the matter, the news of the Battle of Nanjishui had already reached Wucheng, and tens of thousands of Qi troops were shocked.

Coach Tian Qing and Gongziwu were even more panicked, and Gongziwu scolded: "Stupid as a dog!" An army of 60,000 was broken by 40,000 in one day! Doctor Pingyin is extremely incompetent! ”

Although Tian Qing was frightened, he still retained a little sobriety, and sighed: "The strength of the righteous teacher and the appropriate wisdom of the shackle are beyond the reach of the Pingyin doctor. It is not necessarily wrong to line up against the water, and if it is a field battle, it will be broken in a day. ”

The Linzi Legion had already entered Wucheng a few days ago, and for those Feidi nobles who were in fear in Wucheng, it was like a drowning man catching a big log.

The soldiers of the people of Fei who were patrolling near Wucheng and the righteous teachers who came to support them decisively chose to retreat.

When he first entered Wucheng, Tian Qing could be said to be complacent.

Although he had received a letter from Doctor Pingyin asking for help before, Tian Qing felt that there were 60,000 people in Doctor Pingyin, and the Mo family was deep in the land, with Qi City behind them, even if he could win the battle, then the righteous teacher would inevitably suffer great losses.

Even if he can't win, if Doctor Pingyin can defend the city, he will break through Feidu after repairing Wucheng, and the troops will reach Teng, Xue and other places, threatening Surabaya, and then the main force of the righteous division will inevitably come to the rescue.

Unexpectedly, in just three or five days, the news came that Dr. Pingyin's 60,000-strong army was wiped out in Nanjishui, Dr. Pingyin was captured, and 50,000 Qi people surrendered.

Since then, there have been no soldiers available on the Jishui line until Pingyin and Lixia. If the Mo family breaks the Pingyin, Linzi is in danger.

What's even more terrifying is that the Mo family's losses in this battle are minimal, and they can fight again.

Tian Qing knew that the Qi army was defeated a few years ago, but he really didn't expect that the combat effectiveness of the righteous master would be so strong, and he was shocked in his heart, in fact, he already knew that this time the Mo family and the Qi country competed for Sishang, and the Mo family had already won.

As the commander of the first army, it is an essential quality of a commander to be able to remain calm and think about countermeasures after knowing the news of the defeat of friendly forces.

Now the scout reported that what the Mo family did in Guyi, but to Tian Qing's ears, it was not as upright as what Six Fingers said.

In his opinion, although the Mo family is beneficial to the heart of the world, but now in Guyi, it is a fief to measure the fugitive nobles, and it is to build and dig ditches to control floods, and the people are convinced that they do not miss the old Qi, so wouldn't the Mo family want to occupy Jishui?

As long as the Mo family captures Chengyang, then the entire Jishui basin can be under the control of the Mo family.

Now that I think that Chengyang has learned the news of the Battle of Nanjishui, it is impossible to send troops to fight in the field, and the Wei and Han coalition forces can only choose to hold in Chengyang and dare not go out of the city.

What Tian Qing thinks may not be wrong, but Tian Qing is thinking from the perspective of the interests of Qi and one country, so naturally there is some conflict with Gongzi Wu's thoughts.

After the news of the Battle of Nanjishui came, Gongziwu asked Tian Qing to return to Linzi, only saying that the Pingyin army was destroyed and Linzi was in no danger to defend.

But Tian Qing understood Gongziwu's thoughts.

Lost Linzi, the State of Qi could not be destroyed, when the State of Chu was captured by Wu Zixu, was it not an instant recovery?

If the army of the Mo family gathers in Linzi, Tian He's position as the Marquis of Qi will be unstable, and Gongzi Tan is likely to take the opportunity to coup d'état to ascend to the throne.

Gongzi Tan is the rightful crown prince, and it is also the result of a compromise between the forces of the Tian brothers.

Moreover, the most important thing is that if the Mo family army threatens Linzi, Gongzi Tan Da can negotiate peace with the Mo family, betray Tian He, and say that this unjust war is all caused by Tian He, and he should abolish Tian He's position as Tian He abolished Jiang Qi back then, so that one can relieve the siege of Linzi, two can win the hearts of the people, and three can also make peace with the Mo family, and at the same time use the power of the Mo family to clean up Tian He's forces.

Tian Qing, as a nobleman, has been in the court for a long time, where does he not understand the cruelty of the palace struggle between the sons and sons, and the disputes between the sons of Qi are common, how many hardships did Qi Huan go through and how many brothers survived before he took the throne?

He is Tian He's person, and he is also Gongziwu's person, and he can understand Gongziwu's mood very well in the current situation.

If Gongzi Tan is on the throne, then he has a large army in his hands, even if he will win him over now, but he will inevitably crowd out himself after a long time.

Therefore, from the perspective of the interests of the entire Qi country, the interests between Tian Qing and Tian Wu are also the same.

In the original history, Tian Wu also came to power in a coup d'état and killed his cousin, cleaned up the remnants of his uncle's forces, and then sat down in his position and opened the Jixia School Palace to find legitimacy and legal rationality for Tian's Dai Qi and his own coup d'état: this is the theory of the reincarnation of five virtues.

Originally, in history, his son wrote a sacrificial text: its only cause, Emperor Yang Kao Zhaotong, Gaozu Yellow Emperor, and Hehei Huanwen.

posthumously recognized the Yellow Emperor as the ancestor, which led to the Huang Lao School and the Five Virtues of the Jixia School to be carried forward in the Qi State.

The Tian family needs to posthumously recognize the Yellow Emperor as the ancestor, so that they can have the legitimacy of the Qi dynasty, and the Yellow Emperor family is longer than the Jiang family.

This also proves from the side that the internal affairs of the Qi State in the Tian and Tian Wu eras after the Tian family replaced Qi were unstable and the people were uneasy.

The real overlord is like the first emperor, after dominating the four seas, he does not need to find the problem of legitimacy for his ancestors, the county system replaces the feudal system, and if he does not obey, he will fight, and the heroes of the late Qin Dynasty can only wait until the death of the first emperor to dare to revolt - Han Gaozu is three or four years older than the first emperor.

The problem with the Tian clan was that they replaced the Jiang clan within the rules of the aristocratic feudal system, and then came to power with internal sibling strife and coup d'état: they did not have yeoman peasants, industrialists and merchants as the backbone of the Mandate of Heaven, nor did they have the legitimacy within the rules of the aristocracy.

Now the internal problems of the Qi State have been detonated in advance by the Mo family, not the problem of the Tian family representing Qi, but the problem of the backlash of the family flow that the Tian family has used since Tian Chang.

If Tian He is completely defeated this time, Gongzi Tan can get rid of his uncle Tian He. Tian He was deposed, which is also equivalent to Tian Wu having no chance to take the position.

Tian Qing considered it from the perspective of Qi and the country, and his thoughts were undoubtedly right.

What if Linzi is lost? What if you flee to another city? As long as the Qi State does not surrender and does not make peace, the Mohist laborers will not be able to hold out for a year at most. And when the time comes, as soon as the internal affairs of the Sanjin are resolved, no one in the Sanjin Dynasty can tolerate a Mo family that occupies most of the cities of Qi, including the Zhao State and the Chu State, which are now friendly with the Mo family, and they will not be able to tolerate the Mo family with the foundation of Sishang to occupy the land of Qilu again.

Just like when the Chu State was restored, it was always possible to win by delaying time.

But if you have to consider your own interests and the interests of Gongziwu, there is no way to delay this time. The result of the delay is that the Qi country is still there, but the Qi country is no longer the Qi country of Tian He and Tian Wu, but the Qi country of Tian Tan, so for Tian and Tian Wu, such a victory is meaningless.

The State of Qi is not the Qi State of the Qi people, not the Qi State of the Tian family, but the Qi State of Tian and Tian Wu, which is the crux of it. The country of Qi is here, which is not equal to the country of Qi of Tian and Tian Wu, just as the country of Qi is still called the country of Qi now, but it has nothing to do with the heirs of Jiang Taigong.

Don't even think about it, Tian Tan can definitely do things that are rather with hatred than brothers.

Facing Gongziwu, who was bent on quickly withdrawing his troops back to Linzi, Tian Qing persuaded and asked: "Does Gongzi know why Mo Zhai was famous all over the world in the past?" Is it by his righteousness? ”

Tian Wu knew a lot about this, so he said, "No." Of course, his righteousness can condense the ink man, but he is famous all over the world, or relying on the fact that Chu attacked the Song Dynasty back then, and then guarded the Song, Wei, Lu and other small countries, and the art of defending the city is unparalleled in the world, so it is heard by the princes. ”

Tian Qingyin said: "After Mo Zhai's death, his disciples are still alive, and the blue is better than the blue. The tartar is suitable for making copper cannons, making gunpowder, and making geometry. Its skill in defending the city is better than that of Mo Zhai. ”

"Whoever can defend the city will be good at attacking it. If you can't attack, you won't defend. In the past, the king of Yue was in the water, and he broke Tengyi in one day and captured the martial city in one day. At that time, there were only a few thousand. ”

"For example, today's Mohist family is unique to learning, with tens of thousands of believers, who are not afraid of death, do not spin their heels, and charge forward with their mouths claiming to benefit the world, and will not retreat until death. The army of Pingyin was completely wiped out in Jishui. If the Mo family attacks Pingyin, who can defend it? The Mo family did not attack, but besieged, what does this mean? ”
