At this time, as long as you have a reputation, it is not a big deal to curse the king a few times. Mencius had met Queen Hui of Liang, and when he went out, he said that this person did not look like a personal king. As for the philosophers who often talked bad things about the kings of various countries, it was common.

After saying this, the Chu nobles present couldn't help but be angry, but the King of Chu was secretly happy.

He knew that the Mo family would definitely scold him. When Mozi went to Qi State to hope that the Qi people would withdraw their troops to save Lu, he also made a metaphor for asking whether the Qi Duke was stupid. After thinking for a long time, the Duke of Qi decided not to be a fool. In addition, he knew the Mo family's technique of defending the city, so he found a step to say that he was not, and then retreated.

But the King of Chu heard a different meaning from Shi's words.

I am Caowu... Does that mean that as long as I change it and add the neutralization of these drugs from Mozhe, I can become the Mafei San in the previous statement?

But the question was too direct, so he asked in the right words: "From your Mohist family, how can we not be wise?"

Shi knew that the highlight had just begun, so he cheered up and asked: "The purpose of your attack on Shangqiu is actually very clear to the Mo family. You are not asking the Song people to see, but the Zheng people and the Wei people to see, so you will not set up counties like Chu destroys Chen and Cai, but hope to surround Shangqiu and let Zheng people and the Wei people know that the Chu people can raise troops to attack those countries that are against Chu and propriety at any time, so as to compete with Jin for hegemony."

"Furthermore, if Chu State is a whole, the purpose of this person is to hope that Chu and Song will form an alliance, so that the Chu people can compete with Jin from Yiluo and Sishui at any time. If Song alliances with Chu, the left wing of the Three Jins will be in danger. Chu and Qi work together to threaten the Three Jins north of Sishui. It can also reduce the pressure in Daliang, Yuguan, Zhongyang, Qifeng, Xiaohuang, Lin and other places, so that they have no worries."

The King of Chu was slightly stunned. He really didn't expect that his thoughts would coincide with him. This kind of mastery of the general trend of the world was beyond an ordinary person's understanding.

These words, just like the thoughts of the King of Chu countless times since he ascended the throne, can be said to have fully expressed the purpose of the Chu people going north this time... In a proper way, it is to make Chu a person, and of course it does not include some of the King of Chu's own purposes.

This kind of general trend among the Jin people may be able to think of, and the chief minister of the Chu people may be able to think of, but Shi said that everyone in the Mo family knew that the King of Chu was immediately more interested.

I thought to myself: The Mo family is talented and has no choice but to grasp the general trend of the world. These words are as I said by myself. How many people in the world can think of the purpose of sending troops this time?

Shi could feel the appreciation and surprise in the eyes of the King of Chu, but he was not interested in pleasing the King of Chu: at most two years, this person should die, but before his death, he would always let the King of Chu remember the methods of Mozhe so that he could later.

After he told the purpose of Chu, he asked loudly: "But this purpose cannot be achieved, it consumed the troops and food of the Chu people. Isn't it unwise to miss the farming of Chen, Yangxia and other places for a year?"

"The master led us to defend the city. Do you think you can capture Shangqiu? The city is equipped with soldiers and armor and enough food to support for several months. Even if the Three Jin Dynasties need to rest and recuperate, once the Chu army is exhausted, they will go down in one fell swoop. Wouldn't the Chu people repeat the defeat of Huangchi and Yongqiu twenty years ago?"

"Secondly, the siege of the city cannot be sieged. Zheng, Wei and others all think: The Chu army is just like this! At that time, the Chu people will besiege Zheng, Wei, Zheng, Wei for several months to wait for the Three Jins. What are you afraid of? "

"If you can capture Shangqiu within one month, that's different."

"Shangqiu is a mighty city in the world, and there are also Mo who is good at guarding the city. If he can go down in one go, Zheng and Wei will definitely be frightened. They all think that even Mo who helps guard Shangqiu can go down in one go. The Chu people are so powerful that the three Jin soldiers will break the city before they arrive. So what can they resist?"

Shi raised his head and chest, full of confidence and pride, and asked, "The giant is in the city, and many tactics of defending the city have been spread. I dare to ask everyone present, who dares to say that the city will be broken within a month? If you can't do it, isn't it because you can't achieve your goal? It's like drilling wood to make fire with wet wood. Isn't this stupid and unwise?"

After a word was spoken, the whole room was filled with depression.

This was so arrogant that no one present dared to say that he had a way to capture the city within one month.

If you can do everything, be proud of yourself and have a stronger momentum.

Shi has been secretly induced the people of Chu. It seems that Mozhe’s biggest reliance on defending the city. According to Shi, he was still waiting for the troops of the Three Jins to come to support, and from the beginning to the end, he used the Three Jins as the only way to break the siege of Shangqiu this time.

It sounds like the Mo family is preparing to make a mess, so as to maintain the balance between the three Jin and Chu in the battle for hegemony, and thus sign the Third War Suppression Treaty, divide the spheres of influence between the three Jin and Chu, and maintain a weak balance.

At least it sounds like that.

But the Mohist school did not think so. Shi believed that this weak balance would only lead to greater wars. Countless treaties and contracts in later generations verified this point: the collapse of the Zhou emperor's feudal system would either unify the Xia, or the balance between the forces of the Three Jins and Chu and other countries would lead to the Westphalia system of the Xia, which would trigger greater unrest.

The first two war meetings were all facilitated by the Song State, and the rebellion of the Six Lords of Jin and the rise of Wu and Yue in Chu led to decades of peace, but this time there will be no possibility of this again.

However, when he was in Shangqiu and guided this way, the Chu people couldn't help but think that the biggest trump card of the Mo family was to wait for the Three Jins to send troops to sign a new contract.

It sounds very reasonable, but the King of Chu doesn't think so.

He agreed with the truth, but he also had his own trump card, that is, the aristocratic coup in Shangqiu City. But he could not say in front of the Mo family: You know nothing, even if the outside world cannot be defeated, what can you do if there is a problem in the city?

But if you can't say these words, you can't refute the appropriate truth. After a long time of delay, you don't know how to refute them, so you have to remain silent.

For a moment, the account was awkward.

Even if a very proud young general stood up and said: he could break the city in one month... Even if he just brags, he would always be better than the silence at this time. However, the people present were all people with noble status, and the Chu people had precedents of failure and forced to commit suicide. There were many conflicts among the nobles. Once they said it, they would not be able to conquer them at that time, and they would have to commit suicide if they didn't want to die.

In order to deepen the impression that the Chu people believed that the Mo's trump card was the Three Jins sent troops, Shi said: "Mo's is good at eloquence and is considered to be unique in the world. Before guarding Shangqiu, we had sent people to the Three Jins for help. This person's words are not inferior to me, and he has a greater grasp of the world."

"The Qi people were in civil turmoil, and the Three Jins were first enthroned, and Wu Qi guarded Qin. As long as they explain the pros and cons, they may not be as good as Shen Baoxu in the past!"

He was actually just intimidating that the Mo family did not want the Three Jins to send troops, or they did not want the Three Jins to send troops to make the Chu people retreat. In that case, the warlike kings in the world were only afraid of "balanced power" rather than the Mo family who "constrained the world".

As for seeking help from the Three Jins, even if you lie, you still have no choice but to find the loopholes. The people of Chu must believe it if they don’t believe it.

This is a constant vague way to tell the Chu people: the Mo family's trump card to defend Shangqiu is to support the Three Jins, so it is impossible to take the initiative to put Shangqiu in danger.

The examples of Huangchi and Yongqiu in the battle against Chu people before hitting the Chu people in the face, which made the Chu people quite dissatisfied, and were also extremely worried about the military force of the Three Jins.

When everyone present was not speaking, they laughed and said, "I just regarded Chu as one person and said that Chu was not wise."

"But is the State of Chu just focused on one person? I don't think so."

"Are you really the king of Chu, Zuo Yin of Chu, and Sima of Chu? Do you have no selfish intentions?"

"If you have selfish thoughts, how can Chu be a person with one mind? So I said that Chu is not wise, and I also want to say that everyone present is not wise!"

Without waiting for the other party to refute, he also took advantage of the other party's surprise that he didn't know what this meant, and got up and wandered around, and said fiercely: "Why are everyone in the tent unwise?"

"If Shangqiu wins greatly, the King of Chu will have prestige, and the soldiers will return to their hearts, and their reputation will not be lower than that of King Zhuang. Who can oppose the king at this time?"

"If I am the king, I must collect the power of the king, the land of the king, and the troops of the king!"

"If the land of Chu is thousands of miles long, if the county is established, the wise are respected and the materials are selected, regardless of the high or low... Then the land of thousands of miles and the taxes are all subject to the king; the talents of thousands of miles and the wisdom of all subject to the king; the soldiers of thousands of miles and the courage and strength are all subject to the king."

“A notice:”

"The Ming law reviews the orders, casts punishments on the tripod, and promulgates the Chu thousands of miles away. The nobles and princes are not allowed to interfere with the law and regain their private rights."

"Reduce the titles and salary, and equalize the titles of Chu State, and balance the titles of the State of Chu, and reduce the remaining amounts, and continue the shortcomings. Let the titles and salary be collected for three generations!"

"The nobles are moved, and the children of the nobles are asked to move to Yunmeng, Ai, Changsha, Chenyang, Qilan, and Cangwu with their clan members!"

"The power of ministers is reduced! The biggest problem of Chu is that ministers are too heavy and the monarchs are too wide, resulting in the rebellion of Bai Gong and Ye Gong's justice. Therefore, the Ming Party should be forbidden to encourage the people."

"If you block the private door, you will be the custom of Chu. If you stop being incompetent, useless, and harm the officials who are not urgent..."

He was afraid that the nobles would not hear it, so the voice of the Mo people who signaled to interpret the interpretation became louder and louder, and all kinds of problems in the reform of the Chu State were exposed.

This is actually a kind of open conspiracy, that is, telling the nobles in front of the nobles: You are stupid and stupid. The King of Chu has a high prestige and centralized power. Is it good for you? No good, you still follow the King of Chu to go north to compete for hegemony? Hurry up and go home to engage in conspiracy!

When you forgot about Duke Huan of Qi, except for the kingdom and the Zhou emperors of Gaozi, the remaining nobles could not get around? Which nobleman wanted a monarch like Duke Huan of Qi?

Having said this, I would not forget to add another fire, saying: "The king is the representative of a country's regime. The King of Chu can be the state of Chu, but the title of Chu may not be the state of Chu. The King of Chu hopes that the state of Chu will flourish. If a king is just a representative, his wealth and glory can only come from the sum of all the people, but the nobles are different."

"So I say that the State of Chu is not a single person. The interests of the nobles are not the interests of the State of Chu, and what the King of Chu wants may not be what the King of Fengjun wants to do."

"I think you are unwise, and this is not good for you."
