Chapter 8: Counting the Wheat Hill (Part I)
In the big tent, Zhao Hao waved his hand and said: "Untie the righteous soldiers, put the wine and food on the table, and the general will entertain you well tonight." ”
The soldiers have to be ordered to move forward, the disciples of the Mo family, you look at me, I look at you, I can't figure out what trick Zhao Hao used for this move, if it weren't for the disciples of the Mo family to assist the Qi State to hold on to Maiqiu, Zhao Hao would have captured Maiqiu after repeated onslaught, according to common sense, Zhao Hao should hate his own people to the core, but now he treats each other politely, enters the big tent, and puts the wine and food on the table, as if he has been carefully prepared.
Zhao Hao sat down and picked up the wine glass, "Brothers of the Mo family, are you worried that this wine and dish will not be poisonous!" ”
"The disciples of the Mo family are not afraid of death, and they are afraid that someone will not succeed in tricks!" After speaking, they sat down and bit their mouths, which meant that they didn't eat for nothing, which was better than being a starving ghost.
"Have you ever thought that if you stick to Maiqiu like this, more people will die!" It was not the general Zhao Hao who spoke, but Zhao Kuo who was sitting on the side, he had already calculated in his heart, he was no stranger to the disciples of the Mo family, and he had seen the power of the disciples of the Mo family in the movie "Ink Attack" starring Andy Lau, especially the defense of the city, although modern elements were added, it was still commendable.
Mozi, the founder of the Mo family. Its main ideas are both love, non-attack, Shangxian, Shangtong, thrift, funeral, non-music, Tianzhi, Ming ghost, non-life and other items, with love as the core, with thrift and Shangxian as the fulcrum, Mozi's life activities are mainly in two aspects: one is to recruit disciples and actively promote his own doctrine; Second, it spared no effort to oppose the annexation war. The Mo family is a group with a strict organization and strict discipline, the supreme leader is called "Juzi", and the members of the Mo family are called "Mozi", they must obey the guidance of Juzi, obey the command, they can go to the soup and fight the fire, and die without turning their heels, the disciples of the Mohist family are deeply influenced by Mozi's thoughts, and now they are all fearless when they are captured in the night attack.
The leader of the Mo family snorted coldly, "Zhao is strong and Qi is weak, Zhao Guo's attack on Qi is an unjust war, such a bully, as a disciple of the Mo family, he will naturally not stand idly by." ”
"Only when the strong truly conquer the weak, can the world be unified, and the chaos in the world can also be eliminated, you will only delay the war by doing so, and more people will die at that time, and it is the people who suffer, look at the people of Maiqiu, there is no food to fill their stomachs, what is wrong with them!"
When Zhao Kuo spoke, he was frustrated, and he deliberately accentuated his tone, his eyes always fell on the black-clothed ink man, the ink man lowered his head, and the meat in his hand slowly put down, it is undeniable that the hardship of the people of Maiqiu will inevitably form an indelible shadow in the hearts of everyone, even if he guards Maiqiu, the king of Qi is mediocre, and in the end he will be tried by other powers.
"When you're full, kill if you want to!"
"You can go, the eldest husband has to ask for the life of the people, and he has to stand up to the sky and the earth when he dies, you are all flesh and blood men, it is a pity to kill you like this, see you on the battlefield in the future."
"Let us go!" Such an ending was completely unexpected by everyone, who originally thought that he would definitely die, and he didn't want to be entertained with good wine and meat, and he wanted to let his people go.
Zhao Yun stretched out his arm, "Give them back the weapon." ”
The ink man took the weapon, hesitated and walked out of the camp, the fire has been extinguished, compared to the Zhao soldiers have more food, the Qi country can not help but look shabby, the grain and grass are not willing to be distributed, and finally can only rob the people's food, resulting in the people in Maiqiu City have no food to eat, and there are not a few people who starve to death, this practice also makes the ink man dissatisfied.
The group left Zhao Guoying, and one said: "Brother Li, let's go back like this?" If General Qin asked, how would he answer? ”
"Just tell the truth, the disciples of the Mo family stand up to the sky, and there is nothing that cannot be said."
"Qin Yu is not a good bird at first glance, this failure will inevitably be ridiculed by him, it's a big deal that we won't go back, just leave."
"No, the matter of loyalty, since you promised to stick to Maiqiu, you must not give up halfway, wouldn't that ruin the reputation of the Mo family."
"Yes, death is nothing, and it must not disgrace the reputation of the Mo family."
"Okay, enter the city!"
When the group came to Maiqiu City, the soldiers in the city saw it clearly, and immediately opened the city gate, and the ink man entered quickly, Qin Yu got the news, "General, those captured ink people are back!" ”
The two women beside Qin Yu waited, "How many people have come back?" ”
"A lot, all back!"
Qin Yu sat up straight, "Impossible, there was a constant fighting last night, and then there was no news, it must be trapped by Zhao Jun, no matter how powerful the ink master is, he can't retreat with his whole body!" ”
The man smiled and said, "General Gaoming, I heard that all the disciples of the Mo family were arrested last night. ”
"I was arrested, and I sent the delicious food and drink back, what kind of trick is Zhao Hao playing."
The person behind him had a gloomy face, a thin body, and an ugly appearance holding a paper fan, it was Qin Yu's staff officer, and this time it was a trick used by this person to design to get rid of the guard Qin Shan and replace him, "It should be that I want to buy these ink people, and when the time comes, I should come and go outside." ”
Qin Yu slapped the table, "Come on, immediately tie up those annoying guys to Lao Tzu." ”
"General, without the help of the ink man, how to deal with Zhao Hao's siege!"
"What can he Qin Shan do, how can I Qin Yu not do it, with the terrain of Maiqiu, as long as he holds on for a few days, the king's reinforcements will definitely be able to arrive, and when the Zhao army is sleepy and lacking, he will definitely be able to hit Zhao Hao."
The strategist stroked his beard, "It can only be like this in front of you, it's better than someone secretly opening the city gate to let Zhao Hao's army enter the city." ”
A group of soldiers rushed in, and the ink men drew their weapons one after another, "What are you going to do?" ”
"The general has an order, the ink man eats inside and outside, and secretly communicates with the Zhao people, and they are all tied up for me."
The soldiers stepped forward one after another, and the originally small space suddenly seemed a little crowded, "Brother Li, fight with them." ”
The leader surnamed Li waved his hand, "Forget it, those who are clear will clear themselves." ”
Word immediately spread among the soldiers in Wheat Hill City, "The ink man who attacked last night was arrested by the general. ”
"Without those people, who will help us defend the city! Besides, why are you arresting people? ”
"I heard that I was arrested by Zhao Jun, but I didn't kill the hospitality of wine and meat."
"And this good thing, Lao Tzu also goes to be a prisoner, it's better than drinking the northwest wind here every day."
"Be quiet, if you are heard, be careful."
A wave of dissatisfaction quietly spread among the defenders, this is exactly what Zhao Kuo wants to see, the biggest feature of psychological warfare is to use the power of words to force the other party to give up resistance, and finally abandon the city and surrender, after all, the war is too cruel, the real act of kindness is not to invent a powerful killing weapon.
Bags full of grain were hurled into the city with the help of catapults, and the soldiers were fed and drunk with incredible strength, and arcs slid high in the air.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack." There was a sudden chaos on the city of Maiqiu, and after tossing around, I saw that the stones that the Zhao army hit into the wheat hill were far farther than usual, and they did not fall on the city wall at all, and the soldiers on the city wall were suddenly confused, and some people simply lay on the city wall and looked at the busy Zhao soldiers below.
"It's food, Zhao Guo has sent food to our people." One after another, the people rushed to tell each other, and the rice grains that were sprinkled on the ground were suddenly picked up by the hungry people, ignoring the stones mixed in it, and the long-lost cooking smoke suddenly rose in the city of Wheat Hill, and the laughter was accompanied by the fragrance of rice.
"This is a trick played by Zhao Hao, immediately order people to take away all the grain, and anyone who dares to eat the grain of Zhao State will be punished for collaborating with the enemy." Qin Yu's eyes were full of anger, wearing battle armor and holding a sharp sword to command the soldiers, the floating feelings in Maiqiu City were unsettling, just like the dark clouds that appeared in the sky, a storm was coming, this was a trick used by Zhao Hao, and Zhao Hao must not be allowed to succeed.
A group of soldiers rushed into the courtyard of the people, "The general has an order, no one is allowed to eat the grain of Zhao State, otherwise he will be punished for the crime of collaborating with the enemy without mercy." ”
"Are you going to starve us all to death? You devils who eat people and don't spit out bones. An old man held up a pole in his hand, his eyes full of anger, and a child of a few years old hugged his grandfather's thigh with a frightened expression, and for a moment he could not figure out what was going on, but it was very scary, especially those who broke into the house with weapons.
"Old thing, don't you want to die?" The soldier scolded fiercely.
"Grandpa, the dog is scared."
"Don't be afraid, grandpa is here, it's fine."
The soldier who suddenly broke in, holding a spear with a fierce face, made the joy in his heart dissipate suddenly, the old man had no choice but to take out half a bag of food from the house, his eyes were full of unwillingness, this war has already caused the people of Maiqiu to suffer countless pains, hunger, soldiers, just a few days ago just turned thirteen years old eldest grandson was taken away to serve as a city defender, a child who is only thirteen years old, every time the whole heart will be raised to the throat.
I'm afraid, I'm really scared.
The dry hand grabbed the rice bag, and the soldier grabbed it in his hand, "Let go." The old man still clung to it, he could not eat it, what should the young grandson do, the soldier kicked over, and the old man fell to the ground suddenly.
