The Chu people surrounded Shangqiu this time, not only the Chu people and the Song people, but the major issues involving the situation in the world after the three families divided Jin.

Can the Chu people go north to the Three Jin alliance be stable? Who are the weak countries such as Zheng, Wei, and Song surrender to? Can the Qin people take advantage of the Chu people go north to compete for hegemony to regain the Xihe River and open up a path to the Central Plains?

It not only involves those countries that are consistent in personification, but also the interests of many people in the country that are inferior.

As a Wei State alone, this matter involves many dreams and interests of many people.

Weis, who is 70 years old, Li Kui, who is in his name, Wu Qi, who is in his prime, has never been defeated. Wei Ji, the younger brother of Weis, who is believed by his ministers to be granted the fief of Zhongshan Kingdom, gradually began to have a strong family, the root of Wei's strong scholar, and the middle-aged man who may have the possibility of going to power after the older generation dies...

All of these people were staring at Shangqiu, staring at the introduction of the new round of Jin and Chu battle for hegemony that seemed destined to cause trouble.

Indeed, the one who guarded Shangqiu was a good defender, but almost everyone in the world regarded this siege as the beginning of a new battle for hegemony between Jin and Chu.

Many times the battles between Jin and Chu have been fought around the Song State.

In the Battle of Chengpu, the Chu people attacked Song and Jin people saved Song; the two subsequent military meetings were also outside Shangqiu City.

The Chu people besieged Shangqiu, and everyone in the world felt familiar. This seemed to be the landmark event of the battle for hegemony between Jin and Chu.

Almost everyone in the world thinks that if you want to win this siege, you can only rely on the Wei people to send troops.

A former Moist man like Lian Shengchuo also thinks so.

Then most people in the world think this way.

This world seems to be a continuation of the battle for hegemony between Jin and Chu.

However, after all, some people don’t think so, and there are more than one person.

In Shangqiu City, people who didn’t think that way from the beginning gathered together.

They didn't care about the Chu people's siege. In their opinion, this level of siege was not enough to make them helpless.

A few days ago, the Chu people decided to attack the city by ants, and they fought repeatedly for several days. It was not until today that the possibility of real siege was finally possible.

But this kind of siege method does not need to be taken seriously for Mo Zi, who is defending the city.

Mozi once taught this tactic systematically how to crack this tactic after drinking with Qi Huali on the top of Mount Tai. Later generations also gave another disciple to summarize the article "Preparing the Moth Chef" and focused on defense of this kind of siege.

Mozi understood that it was impossible for the Chu people to attack the city to spread out their entire army, and the elite troops that could be deployed only require four thousand men and women, plus those strange machinery, to defend.

However, some people in the city did not think so, and the Chu people's military power seemed to be large, which was an opportunity to take advantage of.

Those who believed that this siege would not become the first page of the new round of the battle for hegemony in Jin and Chu, knew from the beginning that the purpose of these Mo people was never to defend Shangqiu, but to benefit the world by defending Shangqiu.

Now, Mo Zi gathered these people at night and made the final preparations.

Shi and others listed as left and right, Mo Zi said directly: "A few days at most, our chance is ours. The Chu people will definitely be tired from siege, and our virtual and real relationships make the Chu people not know the true or false. Judging from the timing, we will have the opportunity to penetrate the formation and force the King of Chu to fight blood to form an alliance in one fell swoop."

Mo Zi looked at Shi again and smiled and said, "Shi has prepared the rest of the details. Now you can see the raging flames near the King of Chu camp at the top of the city, just like people looking for the North Pole Stars."

"Those gunpowder weapons have not been used yet, and the Chu people must be panicked."

"Yes, he also took advantage of the last night attack to roughly judge the reaction time of the Chu people and determine the fit between the camps."

"I think I am sure that this matter is based on three hundred Mos, and I will add the formation of the spears of the Yishi of Pei County."

"But, we Mozhe guarded Shangqiu to benefit the world, but why did the Yishi of Pei County come? They are not Mozhe, so how did we tell them at the beginning?"

After asking this, Shi was secretly happy and knew that Mozi was the last mobilization of the Mo master, and explained the final truth to this matter synonymously, otherwise there was no need to mention the Peixian Yishi.

Because these righteous men from Pei County had no feelings for Duke Song, and even had no obligation to arm the armed forces from Pei to defend Duke Song from the land.

Even though they obeyed the leadership of Mozhe, the reasoning was not like this. They did not have the obligation to benefit the world, because they were not Mozhe.

From the very beginning, in the propaganda of Peidi, the Peixian Yishi knew one thing: to exchange his military obligations and blood for the recognition of Peixian’s real new policy in exchange for the tax and political changes in Peixian.

They don't know how to exchange for such a valuable thing, or they don't know that just the blood they died on the wall is not enough to exchange for everything they want.

But the Mo people present knew and knew the Mo family's initial strategy of defending the city: not relying on the Wei people, but relying on the way of crossing the formation to force the King of Chu to form an alliance to retreat, and relying on the Mo people to save Shangqiu by themselves, thus fascinating the world and intimidating the warlike kings!

Only in this way can those Peixian Yishi can exchange their blood and military obligations for what Peixian really wants when rewarding merits.

It's just an exchange.

From the beginning, the purpose was not changed, and from the beginning, the senior officials of the Mozhe decided to fight for Pei County as the nominal vassal state.

However, above the city wall more than a month ago, the conversation with Mozi about ghosts and gods made this question more realistic.

Even if the Pei County Yishi achieved his goal, even if Song Gong swears to recognize Pei County's autonomy, what should he rely on to restrict the continuation of this oath?

More than once, I talked about the alliances from ancient times to the present, and more than once, the reason why the two wars were successful was not because of that alliance, but because neither Jin nor Chu could continue to fight, because the nobles in the two countries were busy with internal struggles.

The Mohist school still values ​​ghosts and gods, and still longs for ghosts and gods to truly exist, so that people can raise their heads and restrain their behavior and morality.

However, after the Mohist reorganization a few years ago and began to try another constraint with systems and cumbersome rules, the Mohist views on the word constraints gradually tilted towards what they said.

This was a long process, and it was also a process of constantly penetrating and in-depth correction of the original Mohist thoughts, which had been applicable for several years.

It is also because Mo Zi’s attitude towards ghosts and gods only hopes to restrain everyone, so he has accumulated to this day.

After Mozi asked the question about the Yishi of Pei County, he calmly asked: "Even if this matter is done, how can we reach the constraints? How can we make Song Gong, Sicheng, and Liuqing admit it and not regret it?"

"Shi has a view, and now it's over. Let's hear what Shi says today."

This is not only a military issue in defending the city, but also has a say in such matters. He finally found an opportunity to speak out his plan.

Obtaining the status of Pei County Autonomous is the tone set at the beginning, and there is no need to say it again.

The issue we are going to talk about today is to use the contradictions between the nobles and use the balance of power to ensure that this achievement is not repentant or accepted.

Is it the constraints of ghosts and gods after the oath?

Or is it restricted by the balance of forces in the contradiction?

This is everything Shi wants to say.

Among the Mozhe, many people do not believe in ghosts and gods, otherwise many disciples would not have asked Mozhe where the blessings of ghosts and gods went after Mozhe became sick. Sir, you are the one who is the most wise and respects gods. You have not received the blessings. Can we still believe it?

Among the Mozhe, many people were originally nobles, and they were already tired and disgusted by the aristocratic life and shameless morality; many people were originally just farmers and labourers, and had natural resentment and distrust of the aristocrats; many people were originally municipal wanderers or assassins, and they had no respect for the aristocrats...

Under such circumstances, the statement of the right person was quickly agreed by everyone.

After all, the general direction has not changed. It seems that what has changed is only the "small things" of how to restrict them after the general direction is reached.

But they didn't know that for this seemingly unintentional "small thing", this seemingly temporary "small thing", a nursery rhyme began to sow conflicts three years ago.

Because Shi was not a temporary idea at all, but knew about Shangqiu being surrounded early, and had been preparing for this major event in the early years of the Warring States Period from the very beginning.

This matter involves too much, and no one knows about it except for the right fit.

This incident triggered the murder of the King of Chu by a coup, triggered a civil war in the inheritance rights of Chu, triggered a large number of Chu nobles to die in battle, triggered the strong rise of the Wei people, triggered the breakup of Wei people, triggered the movement of the Wei people, triggered the reform of the Chu people, and eventually triggered the tragedy of the Mo people being destroyed in Yangcheng...

This is never a matter between Song and Chu, but a major event related to the future trend of the whole world. We have to be careful and have to prepare in advance.

Some words cannot be said at this time, but what can be said at this time is enough to shock the Ink Master present.

After Mo Zi and others finished all this, they said, "You and I know the situation in the city now. The six ministers in the city competed with Sicheng, and Song Gong succeeded to the throne again. Sicheng had a grudge with the Chu people and had an alliance with the Three Jins... We have to consider all these."

"If unexpected situations really occur, then if it is to happen in the end, it is better for us to lead them out so that we can stay active."

Having said this, Mo Zi no longer had a metaphor and directly expressed all the plans for the past few days.

The meat eaters in the city could not know that Mozi only needed very slight means to deal with the Chu people's siege, and the Chu people's siege looked a bit fierce. Coupled with the strange night bonfire and the guardian who committed suicide by committing suicide, Mozi felt that something was going to happen in the city.

Since something might happen, you can lead the snake out of the hole and take the initiative.

When the Chu people attacked the city, they mobilized a large amount of power to concentrate on the city wall to make the guards of all members, otherwise they would not be able to resist the Chu people, making the city relaxed, and giving those who were ready to move a seemingly excellent opportunity.

If they move, they can mobilize people at any time and intervene in their internal struggles, becoming a force in the city that can determine the outcome of both sides, thereby balancing the forces between the nobles, kings, six ministers, and the city, which is different from the oath of ghosts and gods to maintain the promises the Mozhe wants to get.

The reason why I dared to do this is that Mozi had enough confidence: it was not enough people to defend the city, so I could defend the city while participating in the struggles in the city, and ensure that the city walls were not lost!
