Chapter 199: Arrays and Fears of Reality (1)
Mozi knew that when Shi just talked about the supervision of ghosts and gods and the rules of the system, he was also talking about this matter, and he thought about it silently, considering these vague words of Shi, and after all, he did not say a word about this matter.
Looking at the bonfire outside, he said for a long time: "Don't mention this in advance, now the Chu people will have a response with the city, and I think tomorrow I can send those people out of the city to fight." ”
"If the Chu people have any plans, it can just disrupt them and buy us time."
"Moreover, I am also fully prepared for the future, and I know the mobilization and reaction of the Chu people."
"Inside the city...... It's business as usual. The inker is on guard, anyway, tomorrow the inkman will not fight, once there is a change in the city, it can be suppressed. ”
Shi Dao: "The Chu people will not know that we are going to send people from the city out of the city to test first, but there is no need to worry too much. If there is something in the city, it must be when none of us are able to stop it. ”
"Sir, although Shangqiu seems to have the disaster of Xiao Wall, it is not necessarily a bad thing. In any case, I still want to mention that we are not guarding Shangqiu for the sake of guarding Shangqiu, but for the sake of better benefiting the world in the future. ”
"I hope that the gentleman and you will always keep this in mind, this is not an ordinary thing."
Mozi sighed, and finally nodded, "I know." This matter will have to be discussed again after all. ”
Shi Dao: "Even if this matter is discussed, it must be formulated in advance, and once there is something, it can be implemented." Sir, I just want to say that if I make any constitution, it will not be that I am happy to do so, but that I will be the first to anticipate the enemy. ”
Mozi smiled: "I can tell the difference." Tomorrow's events, you need to watch from the city, watch the movements of the Chu people, the camp, the time...... Let's go to sleep first. ”
He did not stop and went down the wall.
After Shi left, Gong Zaoye asked, "Sir, many of Shi's words are not the same as yours, but I think ...... He's also a very good inkman. You...... Do you think so? ”
Mozi looked at the people around him and said slowly: "My Mo family values ghosts and gods, and what I do is to hope that everyone believes that there are gods three feet above their heads, so that the Emperor of Heaven can monitor the world. ”
"If there are really ghosts and gods, a person with a very bad heart, but because he is worried about the evil of the ghosts and gods, he has to benefit the world and love everyone...... Then he can benefit the world, otherwise why should we have ghosts and gods? ”
Gong Zaoye was a little nervous and asked, "What do you mean...... It's the right mind...... Not necessarily the original intention? ”
Mozi laughed and said, "It is rumored that Bigan's heart has seven tricks, so you need to dig it out to see it." But digging out the heart is going to die. Conscience...... Is it important? If the ink only seeks to benefit the people of the world, then why is there a need for ghosts and gods? ”
"The rules and aspirations that are suitable for mention, and the wisdom of the people who have been educated are themselves a kind of ghosts and gods. He and I ...... Actually, there is no difference, it's just that the ghosts and gods sacrificed are different. ”
Gong Zaoye was thoughtful, nodded after a moment and thanked him: "Sir's words, I understand." So our ghosts and gods are not the ghosts and gods that those people think they are. ”
Mozi stood against the wind and said for a long time, "You're right. The name of the horse is the cow, and the foolish people think that it is the cow, but in fact it is still a horse. ”
After saying this, the elderly Mozi helped the sword at his waist and went down the city wall with a group of disciples.
…………
The next day, in the afternoon.
The sun hasn't set yet, but it's almost dusk.
Shi took many people and stood on top of the tall building at the city gate, with various rules, water leaks and other tools prepared next to him, looking at the camp of the Chu people from afar.
This attack was just for the sake of bluffing, and it was also for the Chu people to despise, so Shi didn't care about the results of this attack at all.
Even if the assembled soldiers are very capable individually, they can be considered elite soldiers, and most of them are samurai who have been training on a full-time basis since childhood, but it is difficult to achieve any results.
They can be arrayed, but they are difficult to maintain, and it is likely that the rise of the kill will not obey orders.
They can also charge into formation, but expecting them to complete the task of penetrating the attack is completely delusional.
Now it is to find a way to make the Chu people unpredictable and the intention of the ink man, and also to find a way to see how the Chu army reacts when it is attacked.
The reason why this time was chosen was because it was not dark yet, but it was impossible to fight, and the night was coming, which could just cause great confusion and anxiety to the Chu people, and would not be counterattacked by the Chu people.
Chariots are irreplaceable on the plains, and even those who have received military training since childhood can hardly stop the onslaught of chariots without practicing a special phalanx.
Even, it is even hoped that these attackers will be easily defeated by the Chu people, so as to fuel the arrogance of the Chu people.
Under the city wall, more than 100 people were wearing several layers of leather armor, swords at their waists, and no bows and arrows, making final preparations.
Gongsun Ze stroked his saber, not nervous, nor panicked, just quietly waiting for the order.
Those who were once dissatisfied will not be ruined by a few words, but they will not make cowardly actions in front of the public.
After all, they still have the pride of a soldier.
The so-called soldiers can be killed but not humiliated, especially in front of the soldiers, it is impossible to show the slightest cowardice, otherwise it is not interesting to live.
sang "North Mountain" to show dissatisfaction before, but at this time, the dissatisfaction has been vented, and it is gathered in one place, and it is really difficult to complain anymore.
These people have special cloth bands wrapped around their leather armor and arms.
It is mentioned in "Mozi and Order" that in the chaos of night battles, one's side must do a good job of identifying friend and foe, and must wrap a belt around the arm to avoid cannibalism.
The purpose of going out of the city was not fully explained to these people, but kept telling them that it was to attack the Chu army and put the Chu army on guard, so that the speed of the Chu people cutting wheat and the number of wheat cut by the Chu people could be reduced.
Although most of the family members of these people were held in secret detention in the city, this kind of detention only guaranteed that they would not voluntarily defect to the enemy, and that if they were captured, it would be difficult to guarantee that they would not slaughter their wives and families.
This time, these people were used to the extreme, because they only had this use in the plan of the Ink Maker, and if they used the power of these people when attacking through the formation, it would only be a bad thing, and it would not increase the slightest strength.
Next to the small side gate by the city wall, where the inkers guarding the gate were quietly waiting for the opportunity to open the side gate and let these people out of the city to attack.
Outside the city, the Chu army, which had been besieging the city for a long time, was a little slack. Since the siege began, the city has not taken the initiative to attack, and when it is close to the city wall, the city often says something that exposes the bloody things within the Chu royal family, so the Chu people rarely send people to the city wall to scold.
It is useless to scold, if you send soldiers, the city will promote something that will make the nobles and princes angry.
If it is a priest or a nobleman, then the head of the city will add fuel and vinegar to say that the bad things of the royal family of the king of Chu will change every day.
Originally, there were a lot of these things, and he was good at adding oil and vinegar, and there were a lot of dirty things in the palace that he liked to see, which could ensure that every day would not be the same.
As for how much damage those shouting people in the city can cause, maybe the King of Chu wouldn't care about it a month ago, but now he cares a lot.
In the eyes of the nobles and the king of Chu, it is better to retreat and besiege the city, as long as the city cannot come out, and it can't be so close anymore.
Strange rhetoric has begun to circulate in the barracks, and even if it is banned, it continues to spread every day.
And those who shouted at the head of the city became more and more sophisticated.
From the initial shouting to the later release of the captured Chu people, this series of preparations was to force the Chu people to give up the space, so that they could go out of the city at any time to attack and disturb the space.
When the sun was about to set and the moon had risen in the east, the inkman guarding the side door finally waited for the order.
Quietly opened the side door, and more than 100 soldiers gathered together, each holding a weapon, quietly went out of the city under the leadership of three ink men.
After walking a few steps out of the city, Gongsun Ze quietly glanced back at Shi who was standing at the head of the city, and sighed in his heart: "If you don't fight to the death today, you will make this person laugh." He doesn't go out of the city to fight, he has his own reasons, and I can't refute it. If you go out to fight today, you must not spare your life! ”
