At the end of the secret talk, the emperor's father Yue Ling decided the time and plan for the action, and the private soldiers in his fiefdom had been assembled in the name of training, and they were only a few dozen miles away from Shangqiu.

The envoy of the State of Chu has arrived in Sishang, the envoy of the State of Qin is about to cross the Danshui, and the Mo family is still preparing to continue negotiations with the State of Chu, which is the most perfect time.

"Gentlemen, the rise and fall of the society is in one fell swoop."

…………

Night.

Inside Shangqiu City.

A liquor shop near a wet market.

It's already late at night, and even in the bustling Shangqiu, the wine shop is almost closed.

Behind the restaurant is a small courtyard with a high earthen wall, which is very heavy.

A figure walked to the earthen wall, and in the light of the moon, skillfully touched a place under the earthen wall.

With a strong push, a hole was easily dug into the heavy earthen wall, and it could be seen that it was originally empty, but a thin layer of grass and mud was pasted on the outside to cover it.

The figure crawled through the small dog holes, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, they were immediately grabbed by the neck.

He didn't hurry, he didn't resist, for fear that if he resisted and died at the hands of his own people, it wouldn't be good.

After making a cut, the man who captured him immediately let go of him and sent him to a secret room in the courtyard.

After a while, the lamps and candles were lit, and the windows around were covered with thick curtains, and there was not the slightest fire outside.

When a man arrived, the figure who crawled up from the dog hole immediately said, "Something happened." ”

"The emperor's father, Yue Ling, is going to do it. It is necessary to force the Song State into chaos, use perverse measures to force the people to resist so that it will not be controlled, and urge various countries to send troops. ”

After saying a few words about these confidential matters, the person present was quite shocked.

They'd heard something similar before, but they weren't very exact, and it was mostly a shadow of the wind.

But the person in front of him is different, he can be regarded as a confidant of the imperial father's family, and the ink man who secretly joined the Mo family more than ten years ago is impossible for him to interact with in person unless it is a very big thing.

There are very few people who can communicate directly with this messenger, because once it is used, it means that the deepest chess piece buried in the Imperial Father's family will be activated, and it will be difficult to use in the future.

The Song Kingdom was in turmoil, and the Sishang Mo family seemed to have a chance to win, and did not have large-scale activities in the Song State as Handan back then, but in fact, the Song State was one of the most critical core areas in Sishang, and naturally there would be Mo people with sufficient identities who secretly operated here.

The person in charge of the Mo family in Shangqiu is a person who is about fifty years old, and he has been secretly operating in Chu and Zhao back then, and the dark line in the Mo family in various countries can be regarded as an old qualification.

There are many people who secretly become ink writers in various countries, and many people do not reveal their identities, which is a rule set when they were in charge of secret ink people.

Other places may still need the initiative of locals, but Shangqiu is like the back garden of the Mo family, and it is very simple to support anyone to go up, and it is precisely under the activities of the Mo family that the confidant of the imperial father Yue Ling has gradually become a trustworthy person around the imperial father Yue Ling.

has outstanding ability, and has done several major things, and has always criticized the morality of the Mohists in some public places.

The level of his refutation is very high, because the people who wrote for him were a few big strokes from the Xuanyi Department of the Mo family, which was also a person who the emperor's father Yue Ling never considered to rebel.

After Shang Qiu was in charge of the secret work, the ink artist took a deep breath and eased the tension in his heart, and asked, "Did anyone find out when you came out?" ”

The man shook his head and said, "No, no one knows about the hole under the well dug before, except for our people." ”

As early as many years ago, there were many preparations in Shangqiu, and the Mo family had already had the method of "preparing the hole", and the technology of digging the pit was unparalleled in the world, and a secret passage was dug in that person's home early, in order to communicate if something happened in the future.

The ink man asked again, "When will you do it?" ”

"Tomorrow night."

The person in charge breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's enough time." You wait a minute. ”

Soon, several people came in from the outside, the door was tightly closed, and several people were guarding outside.

He gave a general account of the situation, and several people who arrived were also surprised.

"The matter...... If you return to Sishang, it will take five or six days to exchange news. I'm afraid it's too late. ”

"Why don't we inform the Dai clan first and hide him first?"

Now the power of the Imperial Father's family in Shangqiu City is not very strong, because his private soldiers are still dozens of miles away, once these private soldiers are mobilized, the infiltration of the Mo family in the Song Land will inevitably give rise to vigilance.

Naturally, this matter has to be done suddenly, so that people may be unprepared.

The organized army that the imperial father clan can control in the city is only more than 1,000 people, but they are all elite.

It was clear that this was going to be done and then the private soldiers were immediately transferred to achieve a surprise attack.

Without the support of the army, all conspiracy is meaningless.

But this matter is too big, and it is difficult for the ink artists here in Shangqiu to make a decision, and it seems that reporting layer by layer is the easiest way.

At the very least, if something happens in the future, he will not be held responsible, after all, he will follow the procedure, and at most he will not be trusted and considered incompetent.

However, if you make a decision on your side, if it is good in the future, it will be fine, but if it is not good, you may be held responsible, after all, the procedure has not been fully implemented.

The Dai clan is the spokesperson and collaborator of the Mo family on the face of the nobility in Shangqiu, and at this moment, it seems that the safest choice is to keep the Dai clan.

As long as the Dai clan is still there, the matter of Shangqiu is still a coup d'état of the aristocracy, and the matter of the nobles borrowing troops to return to the country to gain government has a lot of precedents before.

Of course, the person in charge in Shangqiu knew the strategy of the Sishang Central Committee regarding Song state affairs, that is, to control the situation as much as possible.

However, there are also humanitarians: "Strike first, strike later." ”

"Since the emperor's father, Yue Ling, has decided to make a move, and he wants to exchange the blood for the resentment and revenge of the people, so as to prompt various countries to send troops, then it is not as simple as killing the Dai clan."

"Since he said that he wanted to do it first, he forced us to start an incident, so why didn't we do it first?"

"He doesn't have too many people in the city, and we have been watching the private army move, and it will take two days to arrive."

"We still have a chance. The field battle may not be as good, but as long as we seize Shangqiu and the insurrection is successful, we can hold the initiative in our hands. ”

"Moreover, once he makes the first move, our people will be killed and injured, and those people who are usually close to us will inevitably have many casualties, and we will be passive at that time."

"Whether we send troops or not, we must all be in a passive situation."

"Since he wants a river of blood, let's kill a river of blood first. Wouldn't it be better for our people in the city to organize and organize in hundreds, so wouldn't it be better to strike first, capture the head first, and then help the Dai clan to take the throne? ”

"Besides, if the people support us a lot, what are we afraid of?"

As the minutes ticked by, the debate continued, and everyone knew that this matter was not so simple.

If it strikes first, the reaction of countries is difficult to predict.

The Mo family has branches in various countries, and there are many people who are openly active, and this incident happened suddenly, and no one expected that the emperor's father Yue Ling would be so mad that he did not hesitate to use the entire Song Kingdom to accompany the funeral.

There were many speculations on the Sishang side, but the Song State felt that it had a great advantage internally, and that external countries could make countries not send troops through diplomatic threats and joint alliances.

But he didn't expect that the emperor's father Yue Ling would do the opposite, at the expense of losing all the possibility of fame and popular recognition, forcing the people to revolt, using massacres to incite hatred, causing the nobles of various countries to be nervous and having to send troops.

Another humane: "If we preemptively strike at this matter, it will be my fault." ”

"The princes of all nations will be wary of us, fearing that they will not be able to do anything wrong with our plans."

"And if the royal father's family makes the first move, the song is the other."

"Even if we send troops at that time, it will be because the imperial father's family will act first, and the people will sympathize with us and the princes will not be too vigilant about us at that time......"

As soon as the man finished speaking, someone was enlightened: "This is not true. ”

"We don't need sympathy from the people, what we need is that the people feel that we are strong and that we can rely on them, not let them sympathize with us."

"As for the vigilance of the princes, if we don't strike first, won't the princes be alert?"

"Is it possible to exchange thousands of lives for so-called sympathy? Do we let people be killed, just to make a difference? ”

"Just for the sake of future generations, when they say that these people are too miserable, full of sympathy and sigh for what we have done?"

"The giant said, what we have to do is not to put the ink block on the shelf, so that everyone sighs and lingers; Rather, it is to make the ink that dyes the world black, even if people in the future think that this ink is black, in retrospect it is not as good as some of the clear water. ”

"Elsewhere, forbearance is enough. In Shangqiu, what is forbearance? Since he wants to kill our whole family, let's kill their whole family first, even if the so-called song is mine, what is there to fear? ”

"Right and wrong, twists and turns, isn't it clear enough about Zhou Wu's affairs?"

The person in charge who had not spoken was silent for a moment and said, "Zi Mozi once said that Li Kequan is also. Weigh the big and small benefits to make a decision. ”

"Let's talk about the disadvantages of preemptive strikes first."

He skillfully took out his pen and paper, and everyone knew that time was precious, and immediately put forward their opinions in order.

"There are too many drawbacks."

"A preemptive strike, the shaking of the nations, the expulsion of our people operating in the countries, the slaughter of the worst. We are strong in Shangqiu, but elsewhere, we are small, not strong enough to resist, and not enough to succeed in the uprising. ”

"Once countries send troops, we are not prepared, and now we are developing, time is on our side, and we can drag it for as long as we can."

"The Song land is critical, once the troops are dispatched, Wei Chu and Han will not allow us to monopolize the Song land, and when the time comes, we will be greatly affected by the war in the Song land, and we may need the mobilization of the entire Sishang in order to win this battle, so as to hinder our continued development."

When the person who raised the disadvantage of preemptive strikes said this, someone immediately retorted: "This is a bad statement! What are we developing for? It is for the benefit of the world. It's not that everything we do is for the development of Sishang. ”

"The giant often says that you must distinguish between the end and the means, and you should not be mistaken about this. We do not develop for the sake of development, but for the benefit of the world. The Song Kingdom is naturally a part of the world, and it is the ...... in the world."

His words were immediately interrupted by a serious voice, and the person in charge of Shangqiu said: "Talk about the disadvantages first, and then talk about the others, don't argue about the righteousness, the end, and the means, only talk about the pros and cons." ”

"What are the other drawbacks?"
