Chapter 215: A Hundred Feet of Collusion (10)

In fact, all the things that come with this self-confidence have already begun to be implemented.

Whether it was the Xuanyi Department in charge of the appropriate government to start promoting interests, or mobilizing the private dead soldiers of Emperor Sicheng to defend the city, it was all for this purpose.

Not only did it have to mobilize the deployment of the Sicheng Emperor, but it also had to create the illusion that the Chu people were attacking the city so violently that most of them had to go up to the city wall, so as to urge those who might do it as soon as possible.

There's always a sword hanging over your head that won't be comfortable because you don't know when it's going to fall.

Rather than this, it is better to find a way to lure the sword hanging above your head to fall, so that you can take the initiative to deal with it.

Such a method is easy for these good fencing ink masters present to understand.

They feel that this is like a flaw deliberately exposed when competing with others, and if the other party grasps this "flaw", they will often suffer from it.

The ink artist did not mobilize the private soldiers of the nobles who were hostile to the Sicheng Emperor, but only sent someone to say a few words to go through the form, and after being politely refused, he never went again.

Now that the Chu people are outside the city, the Mo people present believe that if there are people in the city who really collude with the Chu people and wait for the opportunity to launch a coup d'état, this is the best time.

It couldn't get any better than this.

Because the Moshi have not revealed that they want to end this siege by coercing the king of Chu into an alliance by themselves, the vast majority of people in the world believe that this siege will eventually turn into a new round of Jin and Chu hegemony.

This kind of asymmetry of information has created this "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity for some nobles.

After just a moment, everyone present agreed with Mozi's idea, so Mozi began to assign tasks.

In addition to the appropriate purpose, there is a more realistic reason: to solve the hidden dangers in the city before the final penetrating attack.

Mozi didn't want his people to go out of the city desperately, there would be changes in the city, and as soon as the city gate was closed, Mozi would never be in the world!

…………

Early the next morning, the Moshi spread the order all over the city: the Chu people were about to attack the city, and this siege was extraordinary and needed to be guarded by all personnel.

Many people were mobilized to garrison near the city walls, and for the first time, normal siege life in the city was disrupted.

All the private subordinates of Emperor Sicheng were transferred away from Emperor Sicheng's side and incorporated into the people who dared to die, so as to prepare for a counterattack once the Chu people attacked the city, and these people were far away from the place where Emperor Sicheng was guarding the city, and the leader of the team was also a Mo man rather than a retainer of Emperor Sicheng.

The armor guards of Song Gong were mobilized and joined the task of guarding the city wall.

Those who were loyal to the Duke of Song, or the direct subordinates of the Duke of Song, such as Gongsun Ze, were also transferred to the city.

The entire Shangqiu City seems to be real on the outside and virtual on the inside, and almost all the forces in the city are concentrated on the city wall.

In order to play this drama of luring the snake out of the hole, Mozi did not use the means of "grinding the car", "moxa poisonous smoke", "pouring hot oil" and so on to easily crack the Chu people's ants to attack the city.

It was only after observing the main attack direction of the four elite queues of the Chu people, a group of elite key guards in the city were mobilized there.

The rest of the places were all made feints by the apprentices of the Chu people, and the head of the city also fought with those who knew that they were feints, and they seemed to be really tired.

At least, it looks like this in the city, but no one notices that the four main attack directions of the Chu people's real elite have no chance of catching up with the city at all.

And those Chu soldiers who made a feint attack also encountered a group of Shangqiu civilians who were "reluctant" to fight with bows and arrows, but with wood and stones.

There were not many casualties on both sides, because the morale of the soldiers was low, and it was impossible to inflict losses on the defending side.

The real elite of the Chu people had already been seen through by Mo Zhai, who was defending the city, and used some means to stop the opponent's attack.

Even in order to perform a play well, when the Chu people collected their troops in the evening, Mozi also sent the private dead soldiers of Emperor Sicheng and the counterattack of the palace armor soldiers who dared to die, and took advantage of the opportunity of the Chu people to collect their troops to have an excellent counterattack, which led to a rout among the Chu people.

That night, the Moshi rarely ordered all the elites who participated in the defense of the city during the day to stay near the city wall and prohibit disturbance, only saying that although the Chu people were defeated today, they might sneak attack Yunyun at night.

For a while, the city looked extremely tense at night, and it seemed that all the forces in Shangqiu City were concentrated near the city wall.

In the seemingly empty city, there is still a hidden force, and they have finally waited for this opportunity.

Da Yin and the others gathered again, this time not only them, but also their own armor dead soldiers, ready to take advantage of tonight to bend the big things they had been planning for a long time.

Da Yin said first: "The Chu people have moved, and our opportunity has come." It took all the strength of the Mo family to defend the city, but Shangqiu was still there, and the Chu people could not break it, but it was enough to make everyone in the Mo family think about the city. ”

"Today, the Chu people are numerous, and the ants are attached to attack, and Mo Zhai has to worry about the Chu people's night attacks, crypts, sheep mounds and other techniques when the ants are attacking the city, so they can't be slackened in the slightest."

"Tonight, this is the opportunity I was waiting for!"

Xiao Si Kou also added: "Yes, before, the Mo people defended the city steadily, and the Chu people besieged but did not attack, and the city was not panicked, and there were few complaints. ”

However, in the past few days, the Chu people have stormed, and complaints have arisen in the city. If the grain in the city is burned again, the people in the city will inevitably resent Zitian for contemptuous of the Chu people, which led to this siege. ”

"In the past, King Zhuang besieged the city, and the city changed children and ate broken bones and cooked, and the people of Shangqiu still remembered that they would not endure such a thing again. After all, Zitian is not the king of the year! ”

Da Yin nodded, everyone present either participated in the coup d'état many years ago, or their parents participated in the coup d'état many years ago, they knew very well that what was needed at the time of the coup d'état was that the people did not oppose it.

As for the attitude of the Chinese people, they are a rabble, and there is no need to think about what they are planning in an organized way.

As long as these people do not object, then relying on the dead soldiers in their own hands will be enough to complete this coup.

The biggest threat is Si Chenghuang's private subordinates, but Si Chenghuang's private subordinates have been sent to the city wall, and they even went out of the city to fight back against the Chu people this evening, which is something that everyone in the city knows.

Song Gong's side is weak. Even if the Mo Scholar does not transfer some of the palace armor soldiers, the strength of Da Yin and the others is enough for the coup to succeed.

What's more, it seems that the offensive of the Chu people is really fierce today, and the ink scholar has already transferred some of the palace armor soldiers in order to consider counterattacking.

It seems that the Moshi is of course not only for the kind of simple stubborn defense, but for the purpose of defending the city, not forgetting to launch a counterattack when the Chu people collect troops or attack the city and retreat.

However, in any case, the scales in the city seem to have tilted in favor of Da Yin and the others.

As for the power on the city wall, as long as the Chu people maintained this momentum and attacked for a few more days, it would be impossible for these people on the city to return: all the nobles knew that the Mo people took defending the city as their first priority, and as for who the Song Duke was, they didn't care at all.

The reason why they defended the city was not because of Song Gongzitian, but simply because Song was weak and Chu was strong, but it just happened that Zitian chose to resist.

If the new Song Duke chooses not to resist, then the Mo will have no reason and need to defend the city.

The ink man helps the weak, but will not force the monarch of the weak country who wants to surrender to defend the city.

For Song Guoliuqing, the time has come!

The dead who were gathered together did not need to reason with them, only to tell them what to do.

Reasons such as burning down the granaries in the city to save the Song Dynasty were for outsiders, not for these dead soldiers.

There are not many dead soldiers, and they only obey the orders of the head of the family, they are not scholars, and they do not need to consider benevolence, righteousness, morality, etc., and they are not the same kind of people as the defenders of the city who killed themselves on the city walls.

These dead men are going to carry out disturbing acts tonight, such as burning some of the city's grain stockpiles, and setting fires in the city.

The nobles present had already perfected all their plans, how to escape, how not to be discovered, how to pretend to be Chu, where to get out of the city, and who could return quietly.

There were no elites near the granary, only a garrison, and a full-time team left by the inkman to fight fires, which were also civilians in the city.

The burning of the granary is a two-handed preparation.

It would be best if the lack of food could be used to incite the people in the city to support the change of king.

In the case of no shortage of food, the Mo people can vigorously agitate propaganda, and because they can hold it, the people in the city will not panic, and they also believe that Sanjin will definitely come to the rescue.

If people's hearts are not chaotic, they will not be too resentful, and they will not oppose the current monarch because of this resentment.

The food is gone, even if the ink man is good at guarding it, he can't guard everyone's belly, and he can't rely on reasoning to fill people.

When the time comes, the ink is good at guarding, the Song Duke fights to the death, and the Sicheng Emperor resists, all of which will become sins in the eyes of the people.

That's one of the preparations.

And even if this coup d'état is not successful, burning the granary will allow the Chu people to attack Shangqiu.

Even if it is impossible for everyone present to get more, they can get rid of the Sicheng Emperor clan to prevent future troubles.

The contradiction between the Sicheng Emperor clan and the Chu people is too deep, whether it is the fact that the Song Gong for more than 20 years invited the Chu people to go north because the Sicheng Huang clan was too powerful and was defeated by the Sanjin; Or is it because Emperor Sicheng gave Jiahe as a gift before the marquis of the Three Jin Dynasty, it is destined that as long as the Chu people break through Shangqiu, the Emperor Sicheng and his family have only one way to escape.

There are many opportunities to slowly fight for power with the Duke of Song, and there are also many opportunities to seize the power of Emperor Sicheng after he fled, even if it is not as convenient as directly replacing the monarch, but it is not unacceptable.

Both of these preparations need to be based on the burning of the granary.

How to burn the grain stored in the city is the key tonight, as long as someone goes out of the city after burning the stored grain and tells the Chu people: keep the siege posture for a few days, then the big thing can be accomplished.

After the nursery rhyme appeared three years ago, all the nobles who participated in the conspiracy and oath were present, and their dead soldiers were also gathered to distribute tonight's action.

The rules of the ink man guarding the city are very strict, but it is precisely because the rules are very strict that Da Yin feels that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it.

The order of the ink man did not allow the people guarding the city wall to participate in the firefighting, and the fire in the city could only be rescued by nearby people and a full-time firefighting team.

This is a very good and useful order, after all, there are not too many spies in the city, and what is terrible is not the fire or the chaos in the city caused by the fire.

However, if the nobles in the city themselves were to do the enemy's secret work of spying, it seemed that these prohibitions on defending the city would give these nobles an excellent opportunity.

There is chaos in the city, fire is set everywhere, and there is an opportunity to burn the granary while there is chaos, and there are small officials in the granary who are still loyal to Da Yin, and all the details are complete.

One by one, the nobles encouraged their dead soldiers, assigned tasks, and prepared all kinds of meat as rewards, saying only that if it was done tonight, there would be wealth in the future.

As midnight approached, all the dead poured out of their nests, each with their own purpose, while the rest of the nobles gathered their own private subordinates to prepare for tomorrow's affairs.

Tonight, the city is doomed to chaos.
