The reason they defended the city was not because of Song Gongzitian, but because Song was weak and Chu was strong. It just happened that Zitian chose to resist.

If there is another Duke Song and the new Duke Song chooses not to resist, then Mo will have no reason or necessity to defend the city.

The Mo people support the weak, but they will not force the weak monarch who wants to surrender to defend the city.

For the six ministers of Song State, the time has come!

The dead soldiers who were called together did not need to tell them anything, they just needed to tell them what to do.

Reasons such as burning the granary in the city to save the Song country were for outsiders, not for these dead men.

There were not many dead soldiers, and they only followed the orders of the head of the family. They were not scholars and did not need to consider the reasons such as benevolence, righteousness, and morality. They were not the same as the guardian who committed suicide on the city wall.

These dead men will carry out uneasy actions tonight that burn some of the food stored in the city, raise fires in the city, etc.

The nobles present have already improved all the plans, how to escape, how to avoid being discovered, how to pretend to be a Chu person, where to leave the city, and who can return quietly, have been prepared in detail.

There were no elite troops near the granary, only one guard, and there was also a full-time team left by the Mozhe who was responsible for firefighting. There were also some civilians in the city.

Burning the granary is to make preparations for both hands.

It would be best if we could use the shortage of food to incite the people in the city to support the replacement of the monarch.

In the absence of shortage of food, the Mozhe can vigorously encourage publicity. Because they can defend it, the people in the city will not panic and believe that the Three Jins will definitely come to rescue.

If people's hearts are not confused, they will not have too deep resentment, and they will not oppose the current monarch because of this resentment.

If the food is gone, even if the Immortals are good at guarding, they will not be able to keep the belly of the people, and they cannot make everyone full by reasoning.

At that time, Mozhe will be good at guarding, Song Gong will fight to the death, and Sicheng Emperor will resist. All these will become sins in the eyes of the people.

This is one of the preparations.

Even if this coup fails to succeed, burning the granary can allow the Chu people to break through Shangqiu.

Even if everyone present cannot get more, they can get rid of the Sicheng Emperor clan to prevent future troubles.

The conflict between the Sicheng Emperor clan and the Chu people was too deep. Whether it was the fact that Song Gong, who had been in the past twenty years, invited the Chu people to go north because the Sicheng Emperor clan was too powerful and was defeated by the Three Jins; or because the Sicheng Emperor used Jiahe as a ritual before the Three Jins was granted the title of Marquis, it was destined that as long as the Chu people conquered Shangqiu, the Sicheng Emperor clan had to escape.

There are many opportunities to slowly compete for power with Gong Song, and there are many opportunities to seize the power of Emperor Sicheng after his escape. Even if it is not as convenient as changing the monarch directly, it is not unacceptable.

Both preparations need to be based on the incineration of granaries.

How to burn the stored grain in the city is the key tonight. As long as someone goes out of the city to burn the stored grain, he tells the Chu people: Keep the siege for a few days, then a big thing will be accomplished.

After the nursery rhyme appeared three years ago, all the nobles who participated in the conspiracy and oath were present, and their dead soldiers gathered together to distribute tonight's actions.

The rules for Mozhe to guard the city were very strict, but because the rules were very strict, Dayin felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it.

The Mozhe ordered that those who guard the city wall were not allowed to participate in the firefighting, and only nearby people and full-time firefighting teams could go to rescue the fire where there were fires in the city.

This is a very useful order. After all, there will not be too many spies in the city. What is terrible is not a fire or a chaos in the city.

But if the nobles in the city themselves have to do the enemy's spy, these bans to defend the city seem to give these nobles a great opportunity.

When there is chaos in the city, fire will be set everywhere. Taking advantage of the chaos, there will be an opportunity to burn the granary. Moreover, if there are minor officials in the granary or loyal to the Great Yin, all the details are complete.

The nobles encouraged their dead soldiers one by one, assigned tasks, and prepared various kinds of meat as rewards, only saying that if things were done tonight, they would be rich and honored in the future.

When midnight approaches, all the dead men come out in full swing, each with their own purpose, while the other nobles gather their openly private relatives to prepare for tomorrow's affairs.
