Chapter 209 Hundreds of feet of hooks inside and out (4)
When Dayin heard this, he felt secretly happy.
Although the people's reaction was not strong, it was enough. He did not need to let the people support their coup, but just let the people not oppose their coup.
Why did the Chu people siege the city? Because Song Duke was rude to Chu. This is a reasonable reason.
Because the reason makes sense, the Song people felt that they should resent their monarchs. After all, at this time, there was still the Zhou emperor and the entire system. The reason for the war also lasted for hundreds of years and became a matter of course.
The Song people did not know that they were Song people, they only knew that Song Duke was Song Duke.
Therefore, people who grew up in the Chu people's siege in the city, who were suitable for the modern concept of nations, must feel that it seems natural to resist. Does it take a reason to defend the country?
But at this time, the Song people seemed to have no reason.
What they thought was very simple. If it was the problem of Duke Song, then it would be a different monarch.
For these nobles, they only need to know that the people do not object, so that they can launch a coup to quickly stabilize the situation and prevent the Mo people from standing on the side of Song Gong.
They believed in Modi's morality, so they were sure that the Mo family would not participate in coups and civil wars during the siege, and could only do a good job of defending the city.
Dayin reminded everyone: "Now the dead soldiers of all families need to gather together and be ready at any time."
"Once the Chu people siege the city violently, the Sicheng Emperor clan will inevitably send their own dead soldiers to the top of the city. At that time, the city will be empty and you can do something!"
…………
In the Sicheng Imperial Mansion, I came to visit with several Mo people.
At this time, Shi was no longer the little shoemaker of the past. He had met the Sicheng Emperor in the siege.
At this time, his identity is not considered a scholar by his bloodline, but the rest are also considered a scholar. In addition, the Mo family, the largest backstage when they were defending the city, can be regarded as a way to distinguish the guest and the host and the host.
The emperor's father Zang knew about the Chu people's attack on the city today, and he praised the Mo's art of defending the city. He was really grateful in his heart.
Because of the incident in Peidi, the emperor's father Yue Ling reminded his father who was good at making ink.
Because rebelling against Chu would inevitably lead to the siege of the Chu people, and defending Shangqiu was the foundation for gaining prestige and waiting for the Three Jins to rescue soldiers.
The two sides had long had contact with Jiahe because of the three-way match, so they were not unfamiliar with it.
Long before the Chu people besieged the city, the emperor's father Zang had already sent people to the Three Jins for help, and he knew that the Three Jins would not send troops so quickly.
Even if the Three Jin Dynasties send troops, they will wait for the Chu people to lose their morale under Shangqiu City. In addition, Shangqiu is a mighty city in the world and Mo people defend it, so the Three Jin Dynasties will not send troops quickly.
Today, the Chu people were a hundred feet away but were ineffective. The emperor's father Zang was even more convinced of the Mo family's skills in defending the city.
This time, he came with a purpose. After hearing the emperor's father Zang praise the ability to defend the city, he said, "Today, the people of Chu cannot approach the city wall a hundred feet, tomorrow may not be able to. Tomorrow cannot, tomorrow may not be able to, tomorrow may not be able to. Don't know the Sicheng, can you know the situation in the world?"
The emperor's father Zang said: "Ask a question?"
He said: "The people of Chu must obtain Shangqiu to threaten the left wing of the Three Jins. The Three Jins are granted marquis and offer three pairs of Jiahe of the Emperors. These are all gifts from Sicheng, and everyone in the world knows. Don't the people of Chu know that Sicheng will ask for help from Jin?"
The emperor's father Zang Moran said again: "So will the people of Chu wait until the military rations are consumed and morale is low, and they will fight with the Three Jins?"
The emperor's father Zang was silent again and said, "Therefore, the people of Chu must have all their strength to attack the city. If the city is broken, they will have to be with Song Gong. Sicheng also knows what the people of Chu have had in Huangchi Yongqiu twenty years ago?"
How could the emperor's father Zang not know? His father was about to drive Mr. Song crazy back then. Mr. Song had no choice but to beg the Chu people to mediate. As a result, the Chu people were defeated by the Three Jins, and Chu Moao thought he was a great shame in his life.
Shi said again: "At that time, the Chu people and Song Gong will join forces, will Sicheng still be Sicheng? Will Chu Moao not hold a grudge against this? And you offered Jiahe to the Three Jins. Would the Chu people be willing to continue to serve Sicheng?"
The emperor's father Zang Moran said for a long time: "Your words make sense. The people of Chu cannot tolerate me."
Shi said again: "The Chu people attacked the city with all their strength. The Mo people are to benefit the world and support the weak country. But for you, defending the city is for yourself. The Mo people just happen to defend the city, and you also need to defend the city, so when we defend the city, we have the same interests. Is that true?"
The emperor's father Zang nodded and said, "Your words cannot be refuted. We are consistent in defending the city."
Shi sighed and said, "I heard that you have many private soldiers and soldiers. If the city is broken, can your soldiers and soldiers protect you from being chased by the Chu people?"
The emperor’s father Zang could not know what the meaning of the situation is. It’s just that it’s time. Don’t hide it. Contribute all your strength and defend the city first.
He asked, "But today the Chu people attacked the city, but there was no results."
Shi said solemnly: "I haven't achieved results today, and it may not be possible in the future. Are you proficient in the art of defending the city? For example, if a wolf bites a yellow cow, before it is certain to bite it to death, it will definitely circle around the yellow cow, so that it has no physical strength, and will only reveal its fangs when it cannot be blocked. So, according to your idea, when the wolf surrounds, it proves that the wolf cannot bite the cow to death?"
The emperor's father Zang Buyu said again: "The King of Chu is newly established. If the siege fails this time, how can he hold the position of King of Chu? In the past, the rebellion of Duke Bai was even ahead, how dare the King of Chu fail? Even if Chen and Yangxia are short of food and hungry next year, they will definitely conquer Shangqiu."
From the perspective of the King of Chu, he analyzed the reasons for breaking the city. The emperor's father Zang knew that this was not a false statement, secretly praised the Mozhe's vision, and finally talked about the most fundamental problem.
"It's not that I privately keep the armored soldiers, but that there are many rumors in the city now. Besides, are there no armored soldiers? "
Shi laughed and said, "You still haven't figured it out. Will the other six ministers use their own armored soldiers to help you wait for the reinforcements of the Three Jin Dynasties? Even if the Mo people have the advantage of verbal benefits, they must pay attention to mutual benefit. If they do not, how can we persuade them?"
"The people of Chu broke the city, and Duke Song was still Song, and Dayin was still Dayin. Only your Sicheng is no longer Sicheng! Duke Song guarded the city, but it was different from Duke Song before and after the city was broken, but Dayin was the same as before and after the city was broken."
The emperor's father Zang hesitated for a while and finally said, "But there are many rumors in the city, and there are rumors that I offered Jiahe, which made the Chu people feel betrayed and the Song people are close to Jin. These rumors are probably spoken by those who are interested, and there is also the nursery rhyme that has been widely circulated three years ago. Haven't you heard of it?"
Shi spread his hands and said, "I heard that, but what does it have to do with the Mohist? The Mohist master wanted to help the weak, so he defended Shangqiu and let the warlike kings in the world not easily attack weak countries such as Zheng, Song, Lu, and Wei. However, after the city was broken, the Mohist was still the Mohist, and the Chu people were afraid that they would ask us to hire. So, what you said has nothing to do with us, so what can we do if we heard about it?"
The emperor's father Zang knew that Mozhe talked about his interests, but he didn't expect that he would say so without hiding what he said, "I'm just afraid there will be changes in the city. There have been many rumors in the past few days, and Dayin, Gongshu and others have gathered together many times."
"As you said, I cannot be the Sicheng for the people of Chu who broke the city. But if they succeeded, I am afraid that I will be killed. Apart from the escape, the people of Chu who besieged the city will definitely capture me and return it to the six ministers."
Shi smiled and stood up and said, "I don't think you are cherishing your life, but your house and these gorgeous lives. Please allow me to leave, I can't continue talking to you."
After saying that, he got up and left. This was a common method used by scholars at this time. The emperor's father Zang hurriedly said, "Please stay, I am stupid, please give me advice."
After three consecutive times, he turned around and knelt down and said, "You left your mansion and were near the city wall. Then even if you sent a soldier and a dead soldier, would you still have any worries about your life?"
"It's just that your mansion may be burned and your pearls and jade may be taken away. As long as Shangqiu City is present, as long as the reinforcements of the Three Jins are waiting, they will not be able to take away your position as Sicheng."
The emperor's father Zang suddenly said, "Did the Mozhe promise to protect my life?"
Shi smiled and said, "Will Mo guard the city be the one who participates in the dispute between princes and nobles?"
The emperor's father Zang shook his head and said, "The Mo is neutral and never participates."
Shi said again: "Did Gong Song hire us, the master, as the doctor?"
"No, Mr. Mozi was invited to defend the city, and it was not the responsibility of the doctor and the minister."
He said in a convenient way: "Since that is the case, the Mozhe will not help you fight with them to coup, but as long as you let the private servants help defend the city, we can protect your life. You must know that your victory or defeat is not in the city, but in the city wall."
"If the city wall is there, the soldiers of the Three Jin Dynasties may arrive. If the city wall is not there, even if you are alive, what are you left with? "
The emperor's father Zang thanked and said, "This is the reason. Please allow me to climb the city tomorrow to defend together. I believe in the words of Mozhe, and there is no need to swear."
Shi returned to the courtesy and said, "Although you did this for yourself, you have finally helped us Mohist people benefit the world and help the weak countries. This is what the giant likes."
The two of them said a few more words and left.
After leaving, the emperor's father Zang asked Yu's father Yue Ling, who was beside him, and said, "What do you think?"
The emperor's father Yue Ling thought for a while and said, "Mo Di has unparalleled skills in defending the city. What he said is right. The Chu people must conquer Shangqiu no matter what. King Xinli of Chu has sent troops. This is the first time he can send troops and cannot fail. Since this is the case, I'm afraid Mo Di has expected that the Chu people will have all their strength to attack the city. It is difficult to defend the city, so he asked us to have private death soldiers."
The emperor's father Zang frowned and said, "Has it reached this point?"
The emperor's father Yue Ling smiled and said, "This is not, it's just that Modi defends the city, and they need the deceased soldiers to go out of the city to harass the people of Chu, so they need the dead soldiers we wait for. It's not that they have reached the point where all the dead soldiers must be stationed at the top of the city."
The emperor's father Zang then realized that the emperor's father Yue Ling said again: "I have also heard of some methods of Mozhe defending the city. When the enemy is lazy, he will fight back with a deathful man, which can often prevent the enemy from siegeing for several days. They do not only defend the city on the walls."
The emperor's father Zang gritted his teeth and said, "But everyone who is Mo is dead will never come back. Can't they even match our dead soldiers? If I had three hundred Mo, I was afraid that the big thing would be done soon!"
The emperor's father Yue Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Mo is not a Song Dynasty man. I just said: The city is broken, and the Mo is worry-free. The Chu people will treat Mo well for future use. Will they let Mo disappear here? There are fewer Mo people, one lesser when one dies, and all of them die in Shangqiu. Can they benefit the world? Can they not tell the difference? After all, the Mo people guarding the city want to benefit the world and scare the warlike king; but for us, it is related to the life and death of the clan."
The emperor's father Zang sighed and said, "Since that's the case, we will count all the private families of the armored soldiers and die tomorrow, and all of them will be assigned to Mo Di!"
The emperor's father Yue Ling advised again: "No, there are many rumors in the city, we still need to keep some people..."
The emperor's father Zang said: "When the Mo said that he would protect us, who in the world would not believe their promises? Don't talk about us, even the kings of Chu, Wei, Qi and Qin must believe them."
The emperor's father Yue Ling pointed to the direction of the palace and said, "Leave some, not to protect us, but to protect the king."
