The emperor's father, Yue Ling, hoped that the envoys of various countries could see the tragedy of righteousness and reciprocity through this counterattack.

However, in the eyes of the envoys of the princes, this was a stupid counterattack.

More than 300 soldiers who went out of the city to attack were killed by a single volley, more than 20 were captured, and the rest fled back to the city regardless of the rest.

Many observers summed up this act with a sentence from the left cross.

The envoy of the State of Chu witnessed this scene, and sighed for a long time: "The trapped beast is still fighting, and the situation is not human? Dangshan was helpless and refused to restrain his hands, so he only failed. ”

Glancing at the captured city sergeants, it was inevitable that some rabbits and foxes sighed sadly, and the envoy of the Chu people thought to himself, if one day the enemy country invaded the Chu capital, and there were no reinforcements outside, and the moats were winding and approaching, I was afraid that he would also fight to the death for loyalty to the monarch.

However, on second thought, this desperate fight is meaningless.

He thought, Mozi said something back then, what is a loyal minister? The one who does what the king says is not a loyal servant, but a shadow.

A truly loyal minister should not be moved by his loyalty to the king and die without hesitation when he is helpless, in order to seek comfort in his heart.

A truly loyal minister should put forward a good enough opinion on the governance of the country, politics, and military taxation, so that the people of the country are rich and strong, and the people are healthy, so that the enemy country has no chance to attack the capital, instead of choosing to have nothing to do but die at the last moment.

Looking at the captives coming from afar, the Chu envoy shook his head, sighed, and asked the accompanying staff officer of Sishang beside him: "What are these people going to do?" When you fought against the Qi people, the Marquis of Qi and their families ransomed those noble captives with horses, gold and copper, but this is different. ”

"The Song people must have divided the land and belongings of these rebel nobles this time, you are just afraid that no one can ask for ransom, right? In the past, Hua Yuan was captured, and Song Gong ransomed it with 400 Wen Ma, but now Song Gong reprimanded these people as rebels, how could he spend money to redeem them? ”

The young companion staff member smiled: "We will persuade them and educate them with the truth that is in line with their heavenly will." Of course, their previous crimes cannot go unpunished, and they may have to be sent to the South China Sea to build a happy land, right? ”

"I went to the South China Sea and found an island in the south of Cangwu, wild and infinite, it seems that I heard that there will be such a great crime in the future and will be sent there for exile, right?"

"Or the land of the South Desert."

Cangwu is already extremely far away, and it is even more difficult in Cangwu, the envoy of the Chu people can imagine the desolation of that island, saying that it is to build a happy land, but in fact it is exile, where there is a miasma, snakes and insects are everywhere, but I am afraid that it is more wild than the southern Xinjiang of Chu.

The envoy of the Chu people was concerned and sighed: "In the past, Guan Zhong had the crime of shooting Qi Huan, and Qi Huan was virtuous, forgave his sins, and made him a good person, and this is the right way to seek talent." ”

"There are many virtuous men, each for his own master, perhaps their talents should be considered and appointed."

He always felt in his heart that scholars were higher than ordinary people, and they should be scarce talents, as long as they were outstanding, they should at least have a half-official position.

However, the young staff officer of Sishang wondered, "But what can they do?" Hundreds of crops, the so-called gentleman is disdainful; If they fight, it is said that this is their profession, but if the war is like this, if someone does this in Sishang, they will have to be arrested and examined by the Supervision and Inspection Department...... So, where are their talents? ”

The envoy of the Chu people was silent, his way of thinking had not yet changed, although he actually had some support for some of the morality of the Mo family, but the education he received was not the same as that of Sishang, and it was difficult to appreciate the vigor of the pyramid collapse and reorganization under the changes of the times.

Si has its own set of things, so there is no longer a need for some so-called talents, especially those who can be regarded as talents who can be counted as talents who know a few words in the past, and they are proud of their driving and archery skills that are useless in Si, and they really can't find anyone who can be called virtuous.

The envoy of the Chu people thought for a while and asked, "Can I go and see those captives?" ”

The staff officer said that he could not call the shots, told him to wait, and went to ask for instructions.

In the command post, after listening to this request, Six Fingers asked the people around him: "Those prisoners should be all die-hard, I guess they can't say anything good, right?" ”

The representative of the Ink Warrior of the Legion smiled: "From him to him, it is not their turn to summarize these bad words, we have heard a lot." ”

"There is no need to bring people to refute, whether countries send troops or not is not something that can be solved by a few words."

"In this world, there is no prince like Song Xianggong, the rest are people who speak for themselves, where will they use their own feudal kingdom to be martyred for the world system?"

"If he wants to go, he goes."

Six Fingers didn't have an opinion, so he said: "Since the counterattack in the city failed, then give an order, take strict precautions, tonight is the most important night, and it is also the night we may be the most lax." Tomorrow the trench can be widened, the artillery is deployed, and Dangshan can be breached in a few days. ”

"Whether the city is broken or not is the key. As for the tongues of these people, they have no effect, but only increase the laughter. ”

He clenched his fists and said with a smile: "What can be solved with fists, you have to use your mouth, it is just because you can't beat it." Let him be. ”

The order was handed down, and the units outside the city continued to prepare, and four more companies of grenadiers from the advance battalion were added to the front line in case of a surprise counterattack tonight.

The envoy of the Chu people, accompanied by several ink scholars, went to see the captured scholars.

But seeing them glaring angrily, under the muzzles and short swords of a group of soldiers, they still looked firm, arrogant, and really proud.

The envoy of the Chu people secretly praised: "This is a true gentleman." If it had been thirty years ago, he would have been a warrior, and he would have been able to take on a great task. Creak! Born ahead of one's time. ”

While sighing in his heart, he suddenly heard one of the captives say in a loud voice: "Look at you wearing a high crown on your head, isn't it Chu Zhihu?" ”

The messenger followed the voice, and saw a captive with his hair disheveled, his armor on his chest covered with mud and footprints, and his face stained with blood that did not seem to be his own.

Chu Ren replied: "Yes." ”

The captive said loudly: "The Mo family is unjust, tyrannical and harms the world, Song Zhi Da Yin raised troops for the uprising, knowing that he would die, but he still did not retreat." Song, small country also. Chu, a big country also. Isn't it ridiculous that a small country has the courage to do it, but a big country has no courage? ”

Under the ridicule, the envoy of the Chu State turned slightly red, and snorted: "How dare Chu? If Chu is surrounded, there are more than 10,000 people who are willing to go out of the city to fight back. It's just that...... Whether this matter is righteous or unrighteous still needs to be considered. ”

The captured man snorted coldly, changed to an orthodox Yayin to prevent being understood by these common people in Sishang, and said: "Although Chu lives in the southern corner, it also belongs to the world. If the world is in chaos, how can Chu be alone? Sishang is the great enemy of Chu after all, swallowing Song today, and attacking Chu tomorrow. ”

"Sishang is like fire, Song Di is like firewood, firewood is like fire, and the fire is more vigorous. Or someone said, "This fire is not burning in my court, but I will avoid it." After a few days, the neighbors were all on fire, trying to ask for help but no one was there. ”

The envoy of the Chu State cautiously glanced at the surrounding Mo family soldiers and accompanying people, but he did not dare to answer, he knew that there were many people in the Mo family, there were many people from the north and south of the world, there were many people from noble backgrounds, and there were many people who could understand Yayin, and these words were naked to instigate the Chu State to send troops.

He wasn't afraid of himself, he just felt that the person in front of him was quite generous and gentlemanly, but he was afraid that if he continued to talk about it, he would annoy the Mo family and be executed.

Squinting his eyes, one of the ink figures accompanying him was looking at him with a smile, obviously understanding the words of the other side.

The envoy of the Chu people hurriedly said to the Mo man: "This loyal and brave man also has the style of Uncle Boyi. The righteousness is awe-inspiring, not afraid of danger, but I am afraid that I still think that I will sacrifice my life for righteousness, this is a hero. Each is his master, and there is no iniquity, don't you hear that Qi Huan was in charge of affairs in the past? ”

The ink man beside him said: "The Mo family is loyal to the gods of heaven, the people are the gods, and those who worship the gods will be the people in the world." All the people of the world are our lords. ”

"Since you say that your lords, we are the main people of the world, then he is on the other side of the people, and those who harm the people and rebel against the people, how can they be called heroes?"

"Zi Mozi said, the former was a brave person, who hunted tigers alive, and killed people with finger paintings, which was called evil. This person is loyal, when he died, there were many ministers who surrendered to business, and the evil came to reprimand and died without surrendering, if it was talked about, he was also a hero? ”

"If the evil is a hero, then what is the martial king who executes the evil?"

The envoy of the Chu people couldn't speak, thinking that the Mo family was good at arguing, wouldn't it be humiliating for himself to say this?

There is no need to pay attention to the battle situation outside, and the outcome is decided, unless reinforcements from various countries can fly.

The envoy of the Chu people just took a kind of feeling like a rabbit dying and a fox and hurting things, and came to look at these scholars who knew that they were not afraid of failure, which was an indescribable emotion.

Maybe one day, the Chu State will also be the enemy of the Mo family, and then he will need to make the same choice.

Send these captured scholars today, who will send them off tomorrow when they are captured?

In their opinion, the Imperial Father's clan is already a battle of trapped beasts, and everything is meaningless.

With the current speed of advancement of the Righteous Master of Sishang and the obvious siege methods, the time for the destruction of Dangshan City can be completely calculated.

Dangshan is the last chance for the nobles of the Song Kingdom, even if various countries send troops, they must also take into account the situation in the world.

If the Song Dynasty is in turmoil, and the power of the nobles is still entrenched everywhere and causing chaos everywhere, then countries can send troops.

If the enemy country is in turmoil, the soldiers can be dispatched.

However, Dangshan was breached so quickly, the Song Kingdom was reborn from the ashes, and the Mo family guaranteed independence, and it was really unfavorable for all countries to enter the Song Dynasty at this time.

As a scholar faction of the centralized faction of the King of Chu, he knew the attitude of the King of Chu, and he did not want to participate in the affairs of the Song State, let alone the internal aristocracy and the previous changes because of this great war.

But if you think about the words of the captured man, it makes a lot of sense, the war between the Mo family and the princes will break out one day, and it doesn't matter now, the Song Kingdom will enter the Moxi, and the power of Sishang will increase again, and the price to be paid in the future will be greater.

But all this, he couldn't control it, he thought about it for a long time, and understood that whether to send troops ultimately depends on the attitude of the king of Chu himself, and he is just a messenger.

The day when Dangshan City was broken was the time when the Song State was stable, I am afraid that it would be even more impossible for the Chu State to send troops at that time.

Those who charged before, these people who are now captured, everything they do is meaningless and inevitably desolate.

Sighing, he decided not to communicate with these people anymore, and when he was leaving, he seemed to suddenly think of something.

He took off his crown, walked over to the captured soldier, pulled the man's hair, and gave his crown to the man to put on.

The captive man smiled, relieved, satisfied, and bowed his head slightly in gratitude.
