If you set fire to the city, you will face risks.

Many feudal monarchs thought to themselves, as the monarch, you have said everything so clearly, but it stopped abruptly, don't you want to hear the suggestion of burning the city from our mouths?

We do things, and we also carry the blame, so what do you want to do as a king?

This time the nobles were surprisingly unanimous and not silent, but none of them answered the story of burning the city.

Everyone thinks that the burning of the city is indeed a good plan, but even if the city is burned, there must be an order from the king, and we are only forced to carry out the king's order, otherwise we don't want to bear this great crime.

Now that there is paper, it is necessary to ask for a formal royal decree to keep it as evidence, so that it will not be unclear in the future.

Today, you can kill your own brother with us for the sake of the throne, and the ghosts and gods don't know if the Mo family can't move tomorrow and will discuss whether you will throw us out.

Moreover, the Mo family always talks about the "law", according to their law, the disaster will not affect the family, and the descendants of their own family will still have a chance to live.

But chivalry violates the ban with martial arts, but those chivalrous men in the market don't teach the law, if the whole family is killed at that time, who will be to reason?

Just when the nobles shirked, a beautiful man beside the king of Chu got up and said: "The matter has come to this point, only by setting fire to the city of Yi can we stop the Mo family's advance." ”

As soon as he said this, many nobles stood up and said, "This is not a matter of course." ”

"The people of Yicheng are all the people of Chu, and it is not benevolent to burn the city."

"Besides, at this time, the air is dry, once the fire starts, the city is all railings and thatched houses, which is difficult to control, and there must be a lot of dead and injured innocent people."

"The fire is extremely strong, although it can indeed block the Mo family, but it is not benevolent."

The beautiful man who proposed to burn the city was one of Xiong Liangfu's male partners.

The nobles objected loudly, but the original meaning of the words was: "Great, you have to bear this responsibility." Hurry up and burn it, air dry, once the fire starts, the city will be turned into a sea of fire, and the nearby mountains and forests must also be burned. ”

This is the true meaning of the words, and what you hear in your ears is the opposition that stems from unkindness.

The beautiful man shouted: "Big things are not limited to small benevolence. If the Mo family soldiers arrive, it will be a disaster of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, the subversion of the society, and the collapse of the temple. For the monarch and the minister, he should take the righteousness of guarding the temple and the society, and the rest are trivial. ”

"How can a woman's kindness be done? The eldest husband made a quick decision. ”

"If the city is not burned to scorched earth, the Mo family will chase after it in an instant, the grain and grass will be abundant, and the foolish people can be mobilized to transport, so they can continue to pursue, and it will be difficult to get rid of."

"At that time, the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State will all be destroyed by the brutal Mo family. The monarchs and ministers are all dead, why should they restore the society and return to the temple? ”

"It's a pity that the summer flood has not arrived at this time, otherwise, the river should be dug up to stop the Mo family from chasing the soldiers!"

His words spoke to the hearts of the nobles, but the nobles still retorted: "This matter is unkind. ”

Even the king of Chu himself said: "This matter is unkind, I am the king of Chu and the people of Chu." Shall you burn a city to stop the pursuers? ”

The male pet made a big gift to the king of Chu and said: "The king's kindness cannot be repaid, only to protect the community and protect the temple with all his might, in order to repay the kindness in case of emergency." ”

"I can't fight in the field, but I can defend the city."

"The king and the princes should retreat quickly, regroup, and contact the princes. In the past, the more people destroyed the country, Gou practiced lying on the salary and tasted the courage, trained the Yue Jia 3,000, and was ashamed of the First World War. ”

"Today, the power of the Mo family is unstoppable for the time being, but it is feasible to practice the old skills, praise and avoid the edge, and recapture the temple in the future to sacrifice."

After saying that, he grabbed the ground with his head, his forehead was full of blood, and the king of Chu sighed and hurriedly helped him.

After the beautiful man got up, he looked at the nobles, his eyes widened, and said, "I will die for this matter." I die, if Chu can survive, then I will die for righteousness. ”

"The world has ruined me unkindly and unjustly, even if the Mo family destroys me as a war criminal, I am not afraid of the name behind me. Princes, don't forget today's shame, assist the king, in order to recover the capital and succeed the temple. ”

"If there is a violator, heaven and earth will kill together!"

A kind of aristocracy thought, I see, what is waiting for us here?

This is obviously the death of the king of Chu to come forward, so that the nobles swear to assist the king. After all, the city must be guarded, and when it is guarded to the end, it is necessary to set a fire to burn the city to scorched earth, so as to have the opportunity to delay the escape of the king of Chu and the nobles.

After the defeat of Duke Shen, the nobles of Chu understood that in the field battle, everyone would probably die in the battle.

After the field battle is interrupted, if it is an ordinary dead soldier, it is not capable of commanding tens of thousands of troops.

If you defend the city, that is to say, you defend the city, but in fact, you want to burn the scorched earth of the city.

The Mo family's means of attacking the city are so high that they are famous all over the world, there are no cannons, no strong new city walls, the defenders have no morale, and they are a fart?

Since it was the people of the king of Chu who came forward to defend the city and burn the city, the nobles always had to make a statement, which was actually a deal.

Although the nobles did not object, the premise of not opposing was that the nobles got what they wanted, and the reactionary change was the law.

Now Xiong Liangfu ran from Jianghan to Nanyang, and he has nothing but the name of blood, what if the local nobles don't recognize it when he gets there? What if the local aristocracy made someone else king? What if the local feudal bought these Jiang Han feudal monarchs who lost their fiefs like lost dogs?

Although the oath is basically useless, it is basically useless and better than nothing, and there is also a problem involving responsibility.

If the idea of burning the scorched earth of the city was put forward by the king of Chu himself, then the responsibility for this matter is like this: the king of Chu wanted to burn the city, and the nobles objected, but the king's order could not be disobeyed, so the city was burned.

Once something happens, once the situation is unfavorable, the nobles can immediately trade Xiong Liangfu out, and speak righteously, this person is not benevolent, not my king.

The nobles were certainly afraid that Xiong Liangfu would sell them, but wouldn't Xiong Liangfu be worried that the nobles would sell him?

If the idea of burning the scorched earth of the city was put forward by the dead soldiers of the king of Chu, then the responsibility for this matter is as follows: the dead soldiers were loyal to the country, the king of Chu was against it, and the nobles were against it, but this person stayed in the city to buy time for the king and the nobles to escape, and finally burned the city.

The practice of the dead is moral, and it is also commendable to die for the king. So under this kind of praise, burning a city is also negotiable, at least some people may feel that they have no choice but to be righteous.

Besides, everyone is dead, who will the Mo family arrest?

In fact, the burning of the city is a technical job, and it is not something that can hinder the pursuing soldiers with a casual fire.

Murder and arson are all technical work.

Therefore, this kind of thing can not be carried out by one or two dead soldiers, but only with the cooperation of soldiers, which makes it impossible to act secretly.

If this matter is really the spontaneous behavior of the dead man, then the dead man can not say a word, take over the matter of defending the city, and wait until the king of Chu and the nobles are gone, and then organize the burning of the city.

But in this case, the king of Chu can't say it clearly-your dead soldier, can you Xiong Liangfu get rid of it?

This is not a moral issue, because the nobles still do not feel that Gongziwu had any major sin back then, but a matter of life and fame and the continuation of the family.

The king of Chu did not want to bear this responsibility, not because he couldn't bear it in his heart, but because this matter might cause him to be betrayed and betrayed by the nobles.

Therefore, the king of Chu had to act such a play in this matter, and he couldn't let the dead man do it secretly.

The king of Chu used a means to tie the responsibility of this matter to all the nobles, and after binding, the saying of this matter is "the spontaneous behavior of the dead soldiers defending the city by themselves".

Now the nobles can of course resolutely oppose it, then the nobles who oppose it will offend the rest of the nobles.

Now that it's decided to escape, the burning of the scorched earth of the city is what everyone wants, and it's just a symbolic objection, if you really oppose it, then don't blame everyone for killing you first.

The feudal lords in the north now do not seem to have suffered much loss, and the reason why the Mo family attacked Chu was because of the reactionary coup d'état of the king of Chu and the implementation of unjust policies.

What if the feudal lords in the north choose to negotiate peace with the Mo family? Or when the Mo family had to accept peace talks under the oppression of the princes of Wei, Han, and Qi, what should they do if the feudal monarchs sold the king of Chu?

If it involves the burning of the city, this in itself is a direction that can make a big fuss.

It's not that the statement doesn't blame the public, if the Mo family wins, maybe all the nobles today have a share and have to take responsibility for this matter.

But for the aristocratic feudal monarchs, if they are involved too much, the king of Chu is safer, and if the feudal monarchs in the north really want to change the king of Chu and make peace with the Mo family, they can't send out all the past feudal monarchs of Jiang and Han, in that case, there is really no legal reason at all, and the new king is afraid that it will not be tenable.

The meaning of the king of Chu is already very clear.

I will send people to burn the city, and you don't need support, you just need not to oppose it.

I bought you time to escape, and I also let everyone take this responsibility together, everyone is in the same way, if there is really peace in the future, none of you can escape, so it is best to keep me, fight with the feudal relatives in the north, don't be bribed by them and bewitch me to abolish me as a weight for peace talks with the Mo family.

If you don't agree, then be truly benevolent and righteous, and now stand up and persuade me to kill this man who "only knows a small righteousness but actually does a great evil" who proposed to burn the city.

If you want to be a truly benevolent and righteous person, you must always pay a price, and you can't just shout slogans.

In the current situation, whoever stands up to be a truly benevolent and righteous person is the enemy of all the feudal nobles present.

In the country of Chu for 5,000 miles, there is no shortage of warriors and benevolent people, but at this time, there is no other person who meets the definition of courage and benevolence under the changes of the times in the past 30 years.

Sure enough, after a while, the nobles talked about a series of major issues such as the shrine, the temple, traditions, rituals, etc., and seemed to have forgotten what they had just said about setting fire to the city.

All the nobles swore together, wholeheartedly, assisted the king of Chu, and re-supported Sheji, if there was a violation, heaven and earth would kill together.

Then the king of Chu said to the beautiful man: "The burning of the city is absolutely not feasible. The matter of guarding is entrusted to you. Do the ministers have any objections to this? ”

The ministers were not opposed.

This sentence asks two questions.

They say that they will not burn the city, but are you against it?

Do you object to the man who has just proposed that the city must be burned?

Everyone knew in their hearts that the burning of the city was inevitable, but the king of Chu was no longer responsible, and he was not responsible.

But if the king of Chu bears it, he has to bear it - the responsibility that the king of Chu can bear is that he knows that this person has a tendency to burn the city, but he does not stop the change of generals and just persuades him, then the nobles have also heard the exhortation of the king of Chu not to burn the city, and they have also heard the beautiful man say that the plan to burn the city is that if the king of Chu is responsible, the ministers are also responsible.

Besides, didn't the Mohists want to say that the matter of the law is not careful? If it is a deed, the king of Chu and the nobles have no war crimes, the evidence is conclusive, and they are indeed opposed.
