After the oath, Song Gong understood that he had no choice at this time, and all the problems were not yet stable at this time, if he directly formed an alliance with the Chu people, he was afraid that he would not even have his current status.

Although he was young and ambitious, he was awakened by the Chu people, and he understood that nothing could be done under the constraints of the weak nobles.

The oath was completed, and Song Gong ascended to the heights and said loudly: "Since the alliance has been completed, as the ink man said, the Chu people besieged the city, once the city is broken, it is necessary to provide food and grass and military endowments, and recruit labor, which you cannot agree." ”

"But the granary in the city was burned, and the city could not support it for too long, and instead of starving to death, you were also willing to bear the military rations, grass and labor of the Chu people."

So I called on the people for three months. If there is no turnaround in three months, then I will be in alliance with Chu, even if the Chu people let me drive as a participant, it is not unacceptable for the people. ”

These words moved the people present to some extent, and the people shouted one after another: "Since the alliance with the Chu people in March this time is for our benefit." At that time, if the Chu people really insult the king, we will not agree. ”

There were also some participating down-and-out people who shouted: "The revenge of the Ninth World can be avenged, if the Chu people are really like this, we will fight with the Chu people to the death!" ”

After everyone shouted, Song Gong said again: "Then now we can only continue to defend the city." ”

He looked at Da Yin and the others, suppressed the hatred and anger in his heart, and said: "Da Yin and the others are doing such a thing for the benefit of Song Zhisheji and the people. Now that the benefits of the people, I have promised, Song Zhisheji, there is still a turning point within three months, will Da Yin and others still oppose the defense of the city? ”

Da Yin knew what was going on today, and the three covenants given by the Mo Scholar were the best conditions they could get.

Although he hated Mo in his heart and was not interested in continuing to defend the city, at this time, in front of thousands of angry people, he had no choice but to say: "We will no longer oppose the defense of the city for March." ”

Probably considering the future events, Da Yin added: "Today's incident, we were not against defending the city, but worried that the food would run out in March, which would lead to famine in the city, and we were afraid that the Chu people would retaliate and even exterminate the sacrificial community. ”

He said these words to the people present.

But the imperial father Zang, who was standing opposite, sneered and said, "Da Yin's words are not right. I've heard that Da Yin is going to punish the King of the Senseless. ”

As soon as Emperor Father Zang's voice fell, Mo Zhai said loudly: "There is no way and there is a way, this is to see if it conforms to the rules of heaven." ”

"No one is born with the Tao, and no one is born without the Tao. Now that the rules have been established, then judging according to the rules, you can know that there is a way and there is no way. This is just like the rules and rules of the craftsman, whether it is square or round, not by saying, but by measurement. ”

"If the king can abide by the rules, then how can it be said that there is no way?"

suppressed the words of the imperial father Zang, and Da Yin and others also echoed it.

Song Gong knew that he didn't have too high a status in front of these nobles, so he had to say, "There is no need to mention this matter again. Now that he is still defending the city and still defending the city, he still asks Mr. Mo Zhai to preside over the defense of the city. ”

He didn't like the Mo people, but he couldn't trust the nobles present, and now it seems that the only one who can uphold justice and neutrality is the Mo family, which he doesn't like very much.

For a weak monarch, it is in his interest to have an organization that can uphold justice.

Mozi said: "I have my own plans for this matter, but in the previous three oaths, there is also the matter of burying the dead and wounded in the city today and compensating for the losses in the city, which needs to be decided now." ”

"That being the case, please also ask the king, Liuqing, Sicheng, etc., to discuss in the palace, and the people will accompany them to discuss the results."

"Moreover, although the oath has been fulfilled now, there are either dead soldiers in the city who don't know about it, or brave people who can't understand it, and I am afraid that there will be a matter of assassinating the bureaucrats and assassinating Zhao Xiangzi, so please also ask the monarchs to be in the palace."

"The ten-year covenant has been decided, and each family should use it to defend the city to prevent the Chu people from breaking the city."

"The Mo family is the most fair in doing things, so please allow me to control these armor soldiers, and also prevent the armor soldiers from fighting each other and breaking the rules."

After he finished speaking, Song Gong was the first to agree.

This is clearly a form of house arrest, or rather a way to bring these people together to prevent them from colluding with another rebellion.

The ink scholar gave sufficient reasons, one was to agree on compensation, and the other was to prevent everyone from being stabbed, so it was safer in the palace.

The guards naturally can't make the armor of Song Gong, and it can't be the armor of the Sicheng Emperor or the Da Yin family, so they can only choose the neutral side to take care of them.

The crowd had no choice but to agree.

If the armor is handed over to the rest of the people, they may still be worried, but if it is handed over to Mo Zhai, the credibility is still guaranteed.

Emperor Sicheng doesn't care, his armor has been handed over, and the hidden power in the city is also used a lot for the time being, and there is still a danger on the city wall, so it is better to be in the palace together.

Anyway, there has never been a situation in which a countryman has come out of his own country and ascended to the throne himself. The doctor and the six kings are basically here, and no one is eligible for the throne except them.

In addition to the credibility of the Mo, they also believed that the Moji would not dare to risk the condemnation of the world and let the monarchs of the world rise up against him.

Today, the situation can only be like this.

Even if everyone has a mind, it will have to wait until later.

As a result, the armor soldiers who were still fighting inside and outside the palace before sorted out their own and swore to obey the orders of the ink during the defense of the city, and not to disobey them.

The nobles had no choice but to enter the palace.

Soon, more than forty sword-wielding people led the people who had organized themselves to complete the change of defense of the palace wall.

The remaining armor soldiers were gathered together and ordered to go elsewhere.

After all this busyness was over, it was almost evening, and the Xuanyi Department was busy reading out today's events in the city, so that the hearts of the people in the city could settle down as soon as possible.

After a thousand confusions, a group of high-level Mozi people met, and Mozi said: "Today's event is only the first step in a hundred-mile journey. ”

"In the future, I will not mention how to discuss politics and how to make laws in the government, but the second step has not been completed."

"The Chu people are outside, if we can't force the Chu people to form an alliance, then we will either surrender or wait until the Jin people come to fight the Chu people."

"Whether it is surrender or the arrival of the Jin people, this is very detrimental to the benefit of the world."

Mozi looked around at his disciples and knew that they were all credible people, so he said, "I think, it's today!" ”

"First, the Chu people thought that there was chaos in the city, and they would not be on guard today."

"Second, the Chu people are tired from attacking the city today, and the soldiers can't rest, so it's just right to attack tonight."

"Third, after a long time, I am afraid that there will be changes outside the city. Moreover, the moonlight is just right today, and there are no dark clouds. What do you think? ”

"Fourth, there is no rain today, and the gunpowder that is suitable for use is usable. The Chu people must have panicked. ”

"Fifth, I can't believe those princes and nobles, today they can be restrained in the palace and chaos in Xinping, and they will not be restrained by us for the time being."

Everyone thought for a while and said, "Today is the right time." The Chu people were tired, and they thought that there was chaos in the city, and they would never be on guard. ”

Mozi glanced at Shi again and asked, "You have always been anxious, what else do you want to say about today's affairs?" ”

Shi Bai said: "The disciple also thinks that it is most appropriate to fight back against the Chu people today. There are just a few things to be done. ”

"The disciples thought that they could burn fireworks in the city, so that the Chu people mistakenly thought that the rebellion in the city had not subsided, so that they could relax their vigilance."

"You can use more wormwood, blow the wind with a leather tree, and cover it with thick smoke so that those who are good at looking far away can't see it clearly."

"Another one, you can also continue to use the grass man to fight the city, I haven't done this for half a month, the Chu people have seen through it last time, and today we must think that we really went out of the city to fight to the death, and we must be panicked."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone retorted: "Yes, you said that you should burn smoke and raise fires in the city, which is extremely true, very good." ”

"However, going out of the city tonight to fight with the Chu people should not be noticed by the Chu people. Isn't it wrong for you to use it instead, just to let the Chu people notice? ”

After this person asked, Mozi, Gongzaoye and the others had already nodded and smiled at this suitable, and Gongzaoye said, "If it is suitable, I agree." ”

"Scaremaker, the Chu people must be panicked, thinking that we have nothing to do but fight to the death and attack at night. However, they soon notice that it is another straw man and must laugh. ”

"False and real, the Chu people are only afraid that they will think that the city is chaotic again, so they can only use this trick to make the Chu people uneasy. I'm afraid that in the middle of the night, the Chu people will definitely sleep peacefully, and even if we beat the drums and make noise, they will also think that this is just a soldier of the void grass. ”

"When the time comes, we will strike in the early hours of the morning and fight to the death. If the king of Chu can be captured before dawn, then a great thing can be accomplished. ”

"If we can't, then the Heavenly Emperor and the ghosts and gods will not protect us, we have tried our best, and there is nothing we can do anymore."

Everyone is not afraid of death, things have been prepared a lot in advance, and the details are complete.

Only then did those few questioning people come to their senses and praised one after another, and they didn't care about what Gong Zaoye said that the Mo family might be completely wiped out by the Heavenly Emperor's ghosts and gods.

Shi said: "Today's matter, the secrets to be done, must be strictly guarded against on the city wall." Although today's matter seems to be over, the people of Liuqing may not dare to send people out of the city today, but they must not be unguarded. ”

"Besides, now that Sicheng, Song Gong, and Liuqing's armor soldiers, we can use them. Although they were chaotic, their courage was acceptable, and they could let them raid the flanks of the Chu people, but we raided the Chinese army, so that the Chu people could not care about each other. ”

"How the Chu people acted and reacted before, I have drawn and sorted them out, and I can send them out of the city for a night attack according to this."

"But the disciple still has to say that we must let us go out of the city first, and wait until we get close to the Chu people, and then send them out of the city to attack at night, we can't let the Chu people take precautions in advance, we can only let them ignore it."

Mozi smiled: "That's what I mean. These armor soldiers can be regarded as handy today. It's a pity that the people who went out of the city last time to attack and harassed have many dead and injured today, and they can't be used. ”

The matter was settled, and everyone in the Mo family immediately got busy, preparing to fight to the death tonight according to their respective duties.

Some sent people to settle in the city, or some sent people to inspect the city walls to prevent people from leaving the city, or some people had already gone to the city walls to prepare straw men and other things, or some people organized people to carry the gunpowder.

Shi took out a map, according to the situation he had observed for more than a month before, pointed out a few places for those armor soldiers to attack when necessary, looked at the camp of the king of Chu drawn on the map, and said in his heart: "Tonight's matter, if it can't be done, the Mo family will rest!" If it succeeds, the world will be shocked from now on! ”
