Chapter 205 The formation is also feared to disturb the truth (End)
Shi was originally one of the Mo family radicals and showed many methods. Now, after experiencing the fact that Cao Hou borrowed arrows, he could speak well within the arms of Momen.
This matter is not just a military issue, so this matter also has the right to speak as a radical.
This matter itself is consistent with Mozhe’s previous plan, but the supervision methods are different.
Originally, I just hoped that Mr. Song would admit it, but I thought that rewards and punishments such as ghosts and gods were not credible, so I would use more realistic power to balance it.
In a conversation between Mo Zi and Gong Zaoye and others, he mentioned that the so-called "ghosts and gods" are not "ghosts and gods", but just a method of restraint.
Whether it is the sword of the world before or the current way to create development space for the Mohist school by relying on three-way balance, they all rely on the power of "another ghost and god".
Mo Zi seemed to believe in ghosts and gods, but in fact he didn't believe it at all. He just hoped to let others believe it, so as to restrain everyone's morality and the bottom line of the monarch.
After saying this, Mo Zi hesitated for a moment and asked, "This matter is a risk. If you cannot grasp it well, once the inside and outside break the city, then there may be no chance that the Yishi of Pei County will make a meritorious service and seek an oath of autonomy."
Shi spread his hands and said, "Sir, even if the city is in chaos, how many people can be mobilized? If there are not many mobilizations, can you defend the people on the city wall now? Can you hold on for a day?"
Mo Zi nodded and said, "Even if there is a fire in the city and it will be burned to death, it will be difficult for the people on the city to defend for two days."
Shi smiled and said, "There will be no chaos in the city. If they want to cause chaos, they can only rely on their own soldiers. Don't forget... Now there is Xuanyi tribe, and the Chinese people are on our side."
Mo Zi thought about it and said with a smile: "I always forget the changes brought by Xuanyi's tribe. Yes, with you, you don't have to worry about the people in the city being bewitched and rioted. Then there are only hundreds of armored soldiers and private soldiers they can use, and we can still deal with them."
"As long as the Chinese people don't move, just rely on those nobles, Shangqiu will not be in chaos."
Shi also said: "The Xuanyi Ministry can guarantee that the Chinese people follow Mo, and the rest is not something I can do."
Gong Zaoye said: "Sir, if it is true, as long as the Chinese people stand on our side, their disciples can lead more than a hundred people to suppress those soldiers. They cannot stop us from the streets in the city."
The others agreed with Shi's opinion, and Mozi said, "If this happens, then you must prepare in advance."
"I will leave the city tomorrow and talk to the King of Chu about the alliance between sacrifices and altars, which will also make the details of the final defeat of the Chu army more complete."
After discussing and reaching a consensus, everyone discussed some details and dispersed.
…………
One month later, the King of Chu looked at a wheat straw man full of feather arrows in the tent, his face full of anger.
Month ago, Mo Di came to the Chu camp and formed a three-year alliance with the King of Chu. He said that the Mozhe was willing to promote the third military suffrage meeting. He also built an altar according to the Mozhe's sacrificial method and lit a bonfire that could communicate with the gods.
The originally built wooden pagoda camp was near the King of Chu's tent. The King of Chu did not doubt that he was there, so he agreed with Mozi's statement that the oil was used as dye on the tower, so that the large brazier on it would not be extinguished for a month.
When Mo Zi entered Chu alone, the Gongshu Ban thought that the key to destroying Shangqiu was to kill Mo Zhai, but Mo Zi said at that time that there was an organization behind him, and it would be useless to kill him.
This time, he entered the Chu camp alone and was even more confident. The King of Chu also asked for Mo, so he treated him with courtesy.
The Mozhe was generous this time, bringing enough vegetable oil from the city and enough bonfires to ignite the gods on the Chuying tower for a long time, which also demonstrates sincerity.
The Chu people had never seen vegetable oils, because of their novelty, they had a more superb method of identifying the Mo people.
The Mo originally valued ghosts and gods, and there were many people who were good at witchcraft and sacrifices. The whole process was quite smooth, no less than that of Chu Zhitai Zhu, and it seemed to be more ritually and believed.
The King of Chu immediately vowed that he would abide by the covenant with the Mozhe in three years and no longer engage in an unjust war.
Mozi also said that although this cannot be regarded as a king who benefits the world, if the Chu people really do this and the Jin people cannot abide by it, then when the Jin people attack Chu, the Mo people will definitely help the Chu people defend the city.
It is also said that if the King of Chu could really obey the morality of the Mo family and was considered to be beneficial to the world by the Mo people, then it would not be impossible for Mo people to go to the Chu Palace to help the people of Chu to determine the world.
The King of Chu was overjoyed. No matter how you look at this kind of thing, the people of Chu took advantage of it.
If you have the advantage within three years, complete the deployment of Song and Zheng countries and gain the advantage of Jin, and if you don’t make an unjust battle, the Chu people will be very beneficial.
If you have no advantage within three years, you can only defend at that time, and you can use the power of Mozhe to defend the city.
Xiong Dang believes that three years are enough, enough for him to gain prestige, and thus start domestic changes in three years. The so-called "three years without flying into the sky."
At that time, with the help of the power of the Mozhe, we can balance the aristocrats in the country. As for whether it is beneficial to the world, it can be disguised.
So the two sides formed an alliance and sacrificed to heaven and earth.
During the whole process, the King of Chu did not question the Mozhe's attack on the night of the city. It was a covenant that took effect three years later. The King of Chu felt that he had the advantage. The alliance belonged to the alliance and the war belonged to the war. The two did not affect each other.
In theory, the King of Chu should be in a happy mood, especially when the weather was good before. When he was thirty miles away, another farmer from Songland named Sang Sheng offered a method to cut wheat piles to prevent rain from being exposed, which was even more worry-free.
The farmer received the reward, and because he was familiar with some methods of farming, Chen Diyang and Xia were both in Huaibei, so he could plant wheat, so he had to use it.
The wheat harvesting goes smoothly, and food and grass accumulate. Even if the city is broken, it can still be called benevolence and righteousness, and there can be enough food to fight against possible interventions from the Three Jins.
However, the city has been striking out every night in the past few days, and the soldiers inside the army camps that were in front of the Chu people were in trouble and exhausted.
During the day, the Chu army had to beat drums to guard against the propaganda of those ink, and the soldiers could not rest.
At night, people seem to be sent out of the city to harass the city every night, and there are drums ringing every day. I don’t know how many at night, and I can only use bows and crossbows to guard against it.
After more than half a month, the Chu people's bows and arrows were consumed greatly, and the Chu people who set up camp in front had already complained a lot, and the remarks of those Mo people were circulating on a large scale in the Chu camp.
The scholars were dissatisfied, the farmers were dissatisfied, the business was dissatisfied, and the servants were dissatisfied. The morale of the army before was extremely low and they needed to change their guards to rest in the back.
When the mobilization was carried out, the Mozhe in the city led more than a hundred elite troops to harass him again during the day. Taking advantage of the chaos of the Chu army's handover, he captured more than a hundred people and captured several Chu generals, resulting in lower morale.
This time, the King of Chu could see that the Mozhe should have personally attacked him. The team was neat, moving very quickly, and disciplined. He took advantage of the opportunity of the Chu people's formation moving and quickly retreated.
Shortly after the raid, two days after the Chu people handed over, it rained again. The soldiers who were approaching were tired of morale. At night, people were sent down to the city to harass the city, and complaints were everywhere.
The King of Chu knew that if he continued like this, if he did not attack the city, he would have to continue to retreat hundreds of steps away.
Siege is not a real siege, it is just to prepare the city, so that the city will be in chaos and take down Shangqiu.
But even a pretended attack requires morale. With the fatigue and morale of the Chu people now, this attack will definitely not be well organized.
The key is that this siege must be like that, otherwise it will be impossible to mobilize the attention of the Mo people, and it will be impossible to give the six Song people in the city a chance to launch a coup.
But Mo'er can still go out to the city to harass him frequently, which shows that the city is stable. If you want to create opportunities for the city, you must boost the morale of the Chu people in order to complete a fake siege, otherwise Mo'er may not have to use all his strength to defend.
Amidst anxiety and anxiety, the King of Chu said, "He went out of the city to harass him, and only shot with crossbows. Although he could not get close, he could not be at peace every night."
"Since there are warriors in the city, aren't there any brave people in the Chu people? We will prepare to attack counterattack tonight. Once the city goes out of the city and attack at night, we will select brave people to defeat the Song people and boost morale!"
He was angry because it was impossible to send his Che Guang to do this in person. The Chu people had seen the methods of those who went out of the city to attack at night. It was extraordinary.
The other nobles were unwilling to use their own private subordinates to do this and shirked each other. If they sent soldiers, they would definitely not be able to defeat them, so no one would agree.
Night battles are already dangerous and you have to get close to the city. If feather arrows are fired in the city at that time, you may not be able to gain any advantage.
Fortunately, the great nobles were unwilling to go, but the little nobles were willing to make contributions. They looked for warriors in the camp and chose another young general named Pan to lead the team. That night, they lie in the front army base. They just waited for the sound of drums on the top of the city to rise again at night, and then approached the city wall to fight.
That night, drums sounded again at the top of the city, and it seemed like someone was walking down the city. The young general surnamed Pan boosted his morale and asked the army to shoot arrows first, and then led his people out after three rounds.
When he rushed to the vicinity of the city wall, an arrow was fired from the city. But the young general surnamed Pan saw it clearly and saw that there were some wheat straw men on the city wall, falling from the top of the city with ropes.
He secretly scolded the Song people in his heart for being cunning, but knew that they would need to get this thing to get a reward. So he relied on his own courage to approach the city wall, cut off the rope, and returned with a wheat straw man on his back, and presented it to the King of Chu.
This is why the King of Chu was angry.
Looking at the wheat-grass man who was robbed back, the King of Chu said furiously: "This month the camp is unstable, but it is just some grass man?"
I looked at the feather arrows on the straw man and knew that the people in the city must have used this method to borrow many feather arrows from the Chu people. In this month, a lot of feather arrows were shot, and each one was a military tuition of craftsmen. The Song people could still use these feather arrows to shoot.
I originally thought of counterattacking tonight, killing a few Song people who left the city, and capturing a few more so that the morale of the army can be boosted, but I didn't expect that they were just some straw men.
If it is spread tomorrow, it will not only not boost morale, but will also cause morale to fall even more: the art of Mozhe defending the city is so cunning that he can borrow arrows by relying solely on some grass man, which makes Chu Ying worry, and is afraid that he will be even more afraid of siegeing the city.
Seeing this man, the King of Chu knew that Mo's skills in defending the city were endless, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to break through simply siege the city.
Nowadays, wheat harvesting is necessary, and morale has declined due to long-term siege. In addition, such a straw man borrowing arrows made the King of Chu even more determined and could only rely on changes in the city to complete the destruction of Shangqiu.
Morale can certainly be motivated by winning, but it can also be brave because of some insults.
The King of Chu immediately recruited many Chu generals and elite Chu people, and showed this grass man to everyone, saying, "It is unbearable for the Song people to insult me so much! I will take revenge on the city tomorrow!"
More than a month ago, the King of Chu personally led a team to fight back at night attacks, capturing one person and shooting two people. These low-level nobles had already admired each other and admired the heroes and were already in love with them.
After hearing what the King of Chu said, someone immediately said: "In the past, people of Yue once said: If you are a minister, the king is worried about the minister and the minister is tired, and the king is humiliated and the minister dies. If the Yue people are like this, why can't the ministers of Chu? Since the Song people were humiliated by the Caohou, they will break the city tomorrow and let the Duke of Song be the king to take part in the tour!"
When the soldiers heard this, they all swore to fight to the death to repay the humiliation. The King of Chu immediately praised: "How great! Today is the slaughter of sheep and cattle to feast for the warriors, and tomorrow will the city to repay the humiliation!"
