After entering the city, he saw the giant, and talked about the Chu camp all over the place, but he only said that he did not disgrace his mission.

Mozi chose himself to be a good witch seeker, and prepared to re-enter the Chu camp and form an alliance with the Chu people, and at that time, Mozi may have to go to meet the king of Chu in person.

As a transnational organization independent of various countries and higher than the vassal states and Dafuyi, if the Mohists allied with the Chu people, the giant needed to come forward in person.

At this time, it is a secret that needs to be done, so there are very few people who know the true purpose of the Mo family.

Gongzao Ye and Shi were both people who knew the true purpose, and the rest of the people who knew also sat around, Mozi asked, "What do you think are the chances of winning this matter when you two enter the Chu camp?" ”

After thinking for a while, he said, "The disciple thinks that the odds of winning this matter are eight points. As long as this matter is kept secret, and various means are used to make the Chu people despise, once the night attack is taken advantage of the moonlit night, the Chu people's chariots cannot move, and the bows and crossbows cannot be fired, and after we get closer, we have gunpowder as the momentum, and the Chu people will be chaotic. ”

"If the Chu camp is in chaos, the king of Chu can only refuse to defend according to the camp, and if he retreats, the Chu army will be in chaos. So even if he knew that our target was him, he would be helpless. ”

"The three hundred ink people are all disciplined, well-organized, divided into left and right and distinguish things, and formed a line and a whole queue, and the world is unstoppable at this time."

"Attacking through the formation, the soldiers of the Chu people and Fengjun County can't look around, and they know what to do under the chaos, and they can't organize in a short time."

"So although this matter is risky, it is very certain."

Gongzaoye nodded in support of the appropriate opinion, and the rest of the people also said that the matter was feasible.

Mozi said: "The matter has come to this point, I can only come forward to make an alliance with the king of Chu, and sacrifice into a fire, so that the position of the king of Chu is still obvious at night." It's just that this fashion is not an opportunity, and rumors are spreading in the city, and I am afraid that there will be chaos in the city in the near future. ”

Shi smiled and said, "Sir, does he still care who is the Duke of Song?" ”

Mozi shook his head and smiled: "How do I care who is the Duke of Song?" You once said that the difference between sending charcoal in the snow and icing on the cake is the icing on the cake. I'm just wondering when it's time to send charcoal in the snow. ”

…………

In the city, in the mansion of Da Yin, the nobles who opposed the Sicheng Emperor family gathered, and their faces were gloomy.

They are the nobles of the Song Kingdom, and it is said that at this time, the Mo people helped defend the city and successively defeated the Chu people's crypts, sheep mounds, etc., so they should be happy.

However, it was precisely because the Ink Masters were so good at defending the city that they let out sighs from time to time.

Shu Cen Xi sighed and said: "The ink man strictly prohibited, the art of defending the city makes the Chu people not attack, I look at it like this, I am afraid that the three Jin soldiers will arrive, and the Chu people will not be able to break the city." ”

As the uncle of the current Song Duke and the prince of the Song State, he was worried that his country could not be broken by the Chu people, which was not absurd at this time - soon after, the Zhao Zhi clan would also lead the Wei people to attack Handan, and the prince of Chu would also lead the Three Jin troops to attack Chu County.

Now the relationship between the Sicheng Emperor and the Sanjin Dynasty is well known, if all the credit for Shoushang Qiu is attributed to the Sicheng Emperor, the reputation will soar, and it will be even more difficult to deal with.

Within the six Qings, the Sicheng family is dominant, operating in Shangqiu for more than 100 years, deep-rooted, perennial coup d'état experience, private soldiers and soldiers are full of martial virtues.

A few years ago, when Song Gongxu was in the Song Dynasty, nursery rhymes spread all over Shangqiu, but Shu Cen Xi and the rest of the Liuqing did not dare to move, because they could easily defeat them if they moved.

Hearing this, Xiao Si Kou at the head of the lower head also sighed and said: "The ink man has a degree of reward and punishment, and said that the Chu people will collect grain and grass when they break the city, and also say that if the Chu people have already cut wheat at this time when the siege of the city is not besieged, the farmers in the city will be angry, and the people's hearts will be available." There are many ways to defend the city, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to break the city in a short time. ”

Da Yin Lingqi looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Even if the Chu people break the city, what can they do?" You still don't understand why and when the people's hearts can be borrowed. ”

The rest of the nobles all respected Da Yin and asked for advice.

Da Yin said: "The Chu people are now breaking the city, which is not beneficial to us and other major events. ”

"It is necessary to siege the city more, and the people in the city are tired; There is no food and grass, and the city is easy to eat and break bones and cook. ”

"Only in this way can it be preached: If it weren't for the rudeness of the mediocre king in Chu and in Jin, how could the Chu people attack Shangqiu?"

"When the time comes, the city is dissatisfied, and the Sicheng family will inevitably be unwilling to surrender to the Chu people, and although the ink people have the will of the people, they can't decide whether to surrender or defend."

"You need to know that the Mo man guards the city, which comes from the order of the king, if the king is not willing to defend it, what reason does the Mo man have to defend Shangqiu?"

"In the past, the Zheng people and Wei people had many expulsions from the monarch because of the dispute between Jin and Chu, and the Song people may not be able to do it."

"It's just that if you want to do this, you have to make the city miserable, and you don't want to defend it anymore. Only then can we say that because the monarch is unwise, there is such a disaster, otherwise even if the Chu people enter the city, what good will it do us? ”

"You and I are both ministers and doctors, and there is nothing to seal, we can only do big things!"

He analyzed it, and everyone really understood the key.

Da Yin asked again: "Do you think that if the Mo people defend the city, how long can they defend it?" ”

Taizhu didn't pretend to be a ghost and divination, and said directly: "As long as there is enough food in the city, I'm afraid that I can defend until the Chu people retreat." ”

"The Chu people attacked each other with crypts and sheep mounds, and the ink people easily resolved them, and now the Chu people can only besiege but not attack. I originally thought that Shangqiu couldn't hold it, after all, it was not the time of the Duke of Wen...... Those who don't want to ink not only have mechanical ingenuity, but also a system of government decrees, which is unexpected. ”

Taizhu said that the current affairs of Wengong are actually comparing with the present.

At the time of Duke Wen of Song, it was just in time for the king of Chuzhuang to fight for hegemony, and that time he besieged the city for nine months, and most of the people in the city starved to death, but Shangqiu still did not surrender.

Because when Song Wengong was a son, he was kind and charitable, very popular and prestigious.

Wang Ji, the wife of Duke Wen's grandfather and Zhou Tianzi's sister, wants to have an affair with Duke Wen...... Of course, Wang Ji is not the grandmother of Duke Wen, and the aristocratic circle of the Song Kingdom still has a little bottom line.

Duke Wen, who was still a son, refused, and Wang Ji not only did not turn into hatred because of love, but chose more selfless love to help Duke Wen establish a reputation in the city.

As the prince of Wen, he can give his family wealth to those who are over seventy years old, so that no one in Shangqiu City will starve to death because of loneliness and widowhood; You can go in and out of the mansions of scholars and nobles every day, and make friends with them; can refuse the temptation of the glamorous grandfather's wife, and won a great reputation; And Wang Ji helped Duke Wen boost his reputation after being rejected.

In the end, Wang Ji cooperated with Duke Wen and launched a coup d'état, killing Duke Wen's brother in one fell swoop while he was hunting, and the people also supported Duke Wen to succeed him.

As for whether Wang Ji, who is a grandmother, and Wengong, who is a grandson, secretly have an affair, that is an untold story, and it is not surprising that this kind of lost aristocratic culture exists both inside and outside the world.

Regardless of personal morality, the reputation and charity of Duke Wen before his reign ensured that the Chu people besieged the city for several months, broke bones in the city and cooked their children and eaten, and still insisted that there was no surrender, no coup d'état and no rebellion.

The comparison made by Taizhu is that the previous mourning duke and the current Song Gongtian do not have the fame of Duke Wen back then, and the struggle for power and profit among the nobles in recent years has lost the original mentality of participating in politics.

The death of a monarch just told each other, and by the way, there were nursery rhymes to mock Song Gong's brain-dead, and he had to believe in some prayer techniques.

After Song Gongtian succeeded to the throne, he changed the yuan that year, was ambitious, and was busy with the alliance, and the two-season planting method promoted by the Mo family had not yet been perfected, and he was already ready to raise taxes.

In this case, if it weren't for the Mo family coming forward to defend the city, it would be impossible to hold on for too long. Once the people of the country are organized by the nobility, it is easy for them to come to a riot coup d'état and expel the king who has brought them disaster.

As for what to do if the Chu people retaliate against the Jin people in the future, many Chinese people may not think too far away, and will only stare at the things in front of them within a year or two.

Dayin's analysis is very correct, and his grasp of the thoughts of everyone in the city is also correct: the Shangqiu at this time is not the Shangqiu during the Tang Anshi Rebellion in later generations; The people in Shangqiu City have not received too many favors from the clans.

Once the Chu people besieged the benefits, as long as someone can guarantee the replacement of a monarch, the Chu people will not attack the city and retreat, and the people will definitely follow.

However...... The advent of the Ink Maker changed the situation.

Instead of saying a word of fighting for the princes and the state, the Moshi used another set of rhetoric, strict commands, rewards and punishments to gather the hearts of the people in the city.

In this case, if there is no situation where the son is changed and the bones are broken, it is difficult to launch a coup d'état to expel the king.

Liuqing has private soldiers, but Sichenghuang also has private soldiers, and it is difficult for the two sides to distinguish the winner from loser, but if the city is defended, Liuqing's side will be defeated...... The neutral ink maker will help the Sicheng Emperor because this is in the way of defending the city, Da Yin thinks so.

On the other hand, if discontent breaks out in the city first, and the people of the country revolt to change the king, and then the king's order to take back the power of the Mo to defend the city, this is another matter.

The so-called popular will seems useless, but if it can be manipulated, it can still be borrowed.

After listening to the variables and comparisons that Taizhu said, Da Yin Lingqi shook his head and said: "Shangqiu can still be defended, because there is no famine in the city, so there are still people who listen to the words of the ink master." The Moshi also talked about benevolence and righteousness, and they also talked about the people's hearts, and once everyone in the city didn't want to defend it, they couldn't kill them all. ”

"Therefore, if you want Shangqiu to be unable to hold on, if you want the people to oppose the king, if you want the ignorant people to be trapped in the immediate suffering without thinking about the revenge of the Three Jin Dynasty in the future, just do a little!"

He got up, looked around, and said ruthlessly: "Burn the storey of grain!" As long as this matter is done, there will be chaos in the city! If there is chaos in the city, the people will hope to ally with Chu. ”

"Is it possible for Sicheng to ally with the Chu people? He won't, he will want to hold out until Sanjin comes to help, so the people will inevitably oppose him. This can be used to exterminate the race. ”

"Who caused the siege of the Jing people this time? It is because the king is rude to Chu and inferior to Jin, and once the grain is burned and there is a famine in the city, aren't these responsibilities the consequences caused by the king's stupidity? ”

"The nursery rhyme has said: The period of decay is not yet complete, whether it is the inheritance of the son-in-law or the brother-in-law, it is not yet clear. This year is exactly three years old, and what we are doing is in response to the destiny of heaven! ”
