Chapter 217 Hundred-foot sighs of hooking inside and outside (twelve)
Gong Zaoye knew from those who destroyed his face that these people must be dead soldiers raised by nobles. In order to prevent them from being investigated after doing things, he often used such methods.
Because the man who left a scar on Gong Zaoye's face once talked to Gong Zaoye about the actions of the dead soldiers, and also talked about the fact that the Ranger in the market would use such means in order not to implicate his family before doing some big things.
But even if you know, you cannot blame the nobles in the city without evidence. You are angry that these nobles will do such evil deeds for their own interests, which will lead to famine in Shangqiu a year later.
He was already over the age of relying on his own martial arts to pacify unfair things in the world, so he could only repay Mo Zi for this matter and ask how to do it and how to punish those people.
Mo Zi asked: "Punishment is to make people stop doing such things, so Mo'er punishes those who harm the world, never hides his purpose, and will also tell the world about their behaviors that harm the world. But now you are just guessing who did it, and you can't do it at this time!"
"Wait, there will be a chance. Have you forgotten how long it took to deal with those witches, officials, and big clans in Pei County?"
Speaking of the matter in Pei County, Gong Zaoye finally calmed down his anger. He thought that Mozhe had prepared for two years to deal with those people. He also knew that even if he wanted to punish this matter today, he could only wait.
Mozi said again: "Today, the people of Chu attacked the city again, and the city is afraid that people will be in panic. The things on the city wall depend on you and me; the things under the city wall depend on Shihe Xuanyi tribe. This is for the best of their own use. You can rest for a while first, don't worry."
Gong Zaoye received the order to retreat, and the Chu people outside the city were drumming like thunder, so Gong Zaoye was not worried because the Mo people still had many methods to use.
Before, Shi also said something like induced by snakes out of the hole. Gong Zaoye also knew that Mozi would have a backup plan, but because this thing really made him angry, he couldn't calm down.
Now that Mo Zi is calm, he also knows the gentleman's temperament and knows that it will not be so simple, so he rests with peace of mind to reserve his strength and prepare for possible fights in the future.
…………
In the city, the people who were not on their turn to guard the walls were discussing what happened last night.
The Mozhe neither tried to stop nor captured those who talked about these things, because this was just a fact, not exaggerating the power of the enemy or damaging people's hearts and not breaking the ban.
The so-called "not breaking the prohibition" and only harming without guilt" is the foundation of the law of the Mohist.
People who are willing to spread the word have a smooth logic.
A few days ago, the Chu people attacked the city, obviously preparing to attack the city and break the city, but the Mo people defended the city to the death, which led to the Chu people being unable to break it.
So the Chu people used fine works in the city and burned the granary in the city.
Therefore, the Chu people rushed to attack the city again this morning. It was obvious that the fire last night was to cooperate with today's siege.
This logic is extremely smooth.
But the people do not care about this seemingly smooth story.
All they care about is the burning of the granary and the Chu people siege the city... Will there be a tragic incident in which the Chu people besieged the city and fed the city?
As for who burned the granary, it doesn’t matter, what’s important is that they may go hungry or even starve to death!
Those who have experienced that tragic siege are now dead.
As their descendants, the original stories and memories are still circulated.
So this morning, a strange situation occurred in Shangqiu City.
The sound of drums from Chu outside the city shook the sky, and the people inside the city were panic.
The people in the city are not worried that the Chu people will break the city.
What they were worried about was that Song Gong did not surrender and continued to resist.
Most of the people were wondering, what did the Chu people have to do with them when they came? Why did they help Song Gong defend the city?
The idea of carnivorous people is to make it happen.
It is both a habit and a certainty, because the meat eater will benefit, so naturally the meat eater will seek it.
The people of Shangqiu guarded the city many times, and the most tragic time was because when Mr. Song was a young man, he was kind and generous, so that the elderly and poor in the city would not die of hunger and cold.
Nowadays, Song Duke and the dead Duke Dao have never done such a thing, so it is impossible for the people in the city to stand up to the point of breaking their bones and cooking, because there is no sufficient reason.
The Mozhe said that when the Chu people came, they would recruit labor service. This makes sense, so they had to defend the city.
But this reason is not enough to be able to keep the point of eating when changing children.
This reason seems to be enough to hold on until exhausted.
People in the city thought a lot: The granary in the city is burned now. If the Mozhe defended the Chu people's siege, then the Chu people choose to siege the city, what would happen?
No one wants to starve to death. The large tracts of farmland outside the city cannot be cultivated. Many people have begun to hope that the Mo people can't defend it, so they simply let the Chu people capture Shangqiu.
The Xuanyi tribe of the Mozhe actually kept talking about "why should we defend the city?"
But there is never a single truth about the principles mentioned like "This is your own capital, so you must observe it", but it is just telling the people that the Chu people may be scheduling labor service when they come.
This is a weird propaganda. Yu Shoucheng is better than there is no propaganda, but the direction of propaganda has great problems.
This kind of propaganda hides a doubt: if the price paid to defend the city is greater than that of the Chu people who are entrusted, then is there no reason to defend the city?
No one thought about this kind of doubt before last night.
But this morning, more than one person was thinking about this question.
With the tragedy of the siege that nobles were interested in mentioning, more and more people thought about it, and the way they thought was exactly the "profit" that the Mozhe had been silently promoting.
The seeds that were quietly planted several years ago, accompanied by the fire of last night, and the rumors of this morning began to sprout.
Just like a tree, it can grow straight or curved.
But when it comes to budding, whether you like to bend or straight, you will be filled with joy for the budding itself.
Shi visited many people in the city, and after hearing their doubts, he laughed endlessly in the absence of anyone. The way of thinking of these people is gradually being influenced by the Mo people, and the people's hearts are available.
Xiao Siko's eyewitnesses returned after hearing the people's doubts. Da Yin and other nobles gathered together and laughed endlessly. The ideas of these people were in line with their purpose and the people's hearts were available.
What I think about is a lifetime, and what the nobles want is a temporary moment, but a lifetime includes this moment in the end, but this time will not include this lifetime.
Whether it is suitable or the nobles, they have their own purposes.
