Chapter 243: King Mi Bing of Jing and Song Shakes the Heart (1)
According to later history, in the fifth year of King Sheng of Chu, the king was rude to Chu and was dissatisfied with Jin. He led the army of Shangguo and Chen, and the army of Yangxia surrounded Shangqiu, and the Mo family assisted the guard of Song. In June, hundreds of warriors were selected to attack the camp and fought at night. Sima Zichang held the carbuncle and Jingshu, and the kings held the Gui died. Mo passed through the formation and attacked the king within five steps.
Since the King of Chu was hijacked, the battle to siege in Shangqiu was over.
This is not the first time that Shangqiu City has been sieged, nor is it the first time that it has not relied on the power of military assistance from Jin and Chu to rescue it, but it is the first time that it has hijacked the enemy monarch.
Two officials, Sima Chu and Feng Zhichang, died in the chaos. Sima Chu was bombed to death. Jingshu was stabbed to death by the Mozhe in the camp in the chaos.
King Xiong Dang of Chu, the Right Yin Zhaozhi'e was captured, and Zuo Yin and others escaped this disaster because they had to go to the preparatory camp to prepare for a counterattack in the sky.
Although the Mo family did not touch the King of Chu this time, they only captured the King of Chu, but they had deep hatred and conflicts with the people of Chu.
The Gong clan and the Jing clan died in battle, and many noble sons or Che Guang warriors were killed. Even if the King of Chu did not hate the Mo family, those nobles would still be resentful.
The captured King of Chu could not persuade Gong Zaoye, nor could he even let Gong Zaoye, who was originally the Chu people feel ashamed of being unfaithful, so he could only give up.
He was also worried that after Tianming, the Song people took advantage of the chaos of Chu people to go out of the city to attack the war, so he told Gong Zaoye that he could agree to form an alliance, but if the Song people went to fight in Tianming, he would rather die under Gong Zaoye's sword.
Being captured or being insulted is not considered hatred.
In the Kedi alliance, Cao Mo held Duke Huan of Qi hostage. Although Duke Huan of Qi was greatly insulted, when he later considered revenge on Lu, he still praised Cao Mo for being the pillar of Lu and that if he did not die, he would not be able to attack Lu.
Now the King of Chu also knew that he was going to force Mo Zhu into anger. These common people who were rude and did not care about their noble bloodlines were likely to kill them.
But I also thought that the Mo family had no choice but to kill him, otherwise the conflict between Chu and Song would be irreconcilable.
Gong Zaoye could only agree to this request, and let people hold on to the camp to prevent the Chu people from attacking: it was not because the Chu people wanted to save their king, but because some nobles were afraid that the King of Chu would not die, so they would kill the King of Chu in the name of rescuing the King of Chu.
Fortunately, the sons of the King of Chu are not here. If there was one person here, I am afraid that the King of Chu will not be able to survive today.
The King of Chu only ordered the Chu people to guard the camps to prevent the Song people from attacking, and said that he would never hurt himself if he believed in the Mo family's loyalty.
Gong Zaoye released the Right Yin Zhaozhi'e and asked him to pass on the orders of the King of Chu, and only allowed the Chu nobles to gather in the camp at dawn to prepare for an alliance.
Then more than 20 Mohist disciples were selected and they immediately returned to Shangqiu.
One informed Yu Juzi, the other informed the people, and the third informed Gong Song and the Six Lords.
Among the twenty people, fifteen were sharp-tongued and were affiliated with Xuanyi tribe. All they had to do was to return to Shangqiu to promote something.
"Pei County Yishi captured the King of Chu in the formation and formed an alliance!"
When talking to the Chu people, if you want to talk to the Five Steps Alliance, you have to show some mercy.
Just as Duke Wen of Jin forced the Emperor Zhou to join the alliance, he could only say that he could ask the Emperor to hunt fields, but it was hard to say that he forced the Emperor to recognize his overlord status.
Talk about mercy in front of the King of Chu, and once you return to the city to promote it, you can directly say that you have captured the King of Chu and so on.
Everyone received the order and got the seal from the King of Chu. They returned from the road that had been storming for a long time last night, and told Shangqiu City that it had shaken the world first.
…………
In the city, the explosion last night and the news of Mozhe's attack on the night were early known by the nobles who had just participated in a coup and two oaths in Bai Ri.
Although they nominally wanted to discuss the third article of the coupon in the palace: compensation for the death and injury of the coup, they were actually keeping an eye on the movement outside the city.
Everyone knows that the daytime alliance in the city is not stable, and ultimately depends on the war outside the city.
If the Chu people broke the city, then the Sicheng Emperor team could not rely on the mediation of the Mo people and could only lose, because the failure of the Mo people would mean being extinct in the world.
If the people of Chu cannot destroy the city and the troops of the Three Jins arrive, the Dayin clan will inevitably fail ten years later.
Only when the Mohist defeated the Chu people with his own strength can the Dayu Covenant be implemented stably, and it can also prove that the Mohist family has the ability to be a mediator, a supervisor, and appoint the Sword of Shangqiu.
The Song Prince Tian, the emperor's father Zang, the eldest Yin Lingqi, the Gongshu Cen Xi and others who were killed in the daytime gathered in the palace.
Those who were responsible for "protecting" them from harming each other were surrounded by several huge iron lumps. A lead wire was outside, holding a torch, and everyone dared not move.
When these people heard the Mo family going out of the city to attack at night and were preparing to kidnap the King of Chu in one fell swoop, all the princes and nobles present were stunned, and they all felt that the Mo family was crazy, and that they were seeking death.
Some people may think that the Mo family has been extinct since then!
Some people may think that Mo Di is old and only wants a grand event before his death.
But after the Mo family disciple who came back to report the news appeared in the palace, everyone still knew the situation, but the excited application on Mo'er's face was shocked.
The Mo family disciple whispered loudly: "According to the order of the giant, the Mo family has not insulted them. The Mo family disciples and three hundred young men from Pei County attacked the Chu camp at night. The young men from Pei County captured the King of Chu and the Right Yin, and the siege of Shangqiu has been lifted!"
He called out, but no one answered. He saw that all the nobles and princes present stared at each other and seemed to understand.
He just thought that everyone hadn't heard it, thinking that he was inaccurate in his elegant voice? He then conveyed it loudly in Song's words.
Just as I finished calling this second time, I heard a few sounds of Zunjue falling to the ground, and even more shocked people kicked over the case regardless of etiquette.
The Mo family disciple realized at this time that it was not because everyone had not heard it, but because they didn't dare to believe what they said before, and just thought it was because they heard it wrong.
He took out the document with the seal written by Mozi and submitted it to Duke Song.
Mr. Song hurriedly stood up to greet him, shocked, and said repeatedly: "Mr. Modi is a trustworthy man when he guards Shangqiu! Who captured the King of Chu?"
The Mo family disciple said solemnly: "He was captured by the young men in Pei County. He did not have a surname, only a cheap name. The prince just needs to know that he was a young man in Pei County."
"The giant said that the King of Chu had agreed to form an alliance, and asked Duke Song and the Six Lords to ask the people of Shangqiu, and immediately agreed on the alliance, and then prepared a carriage and horses to form an alliance with the people of Chu!"
Song Gong nodded repeatedly. Although he was unwilling to discuss these matters with the people of Shangqiu, he had just experienced a coup in the daytime. Now the Mo family members have shown enough military strength, so how can they not agree?
Since he agreed, the other nobles also pretended to congratulate each other.
Da Yin and others said, "If we had known that Mr. Mo Zhai could force the King of Chu to form an alliance, why would we have to worry about defending the city and causing the people in the city to be famine?"
"Yes, Mr. Mo Zhai has accomplished this important event today, so we don't have to worry about the famine in the city..."
The few people celebrated so much, but they were secretly surprised. Even if they wanted to suppress them, they were still beyond words.
Everyone sighed and was shocked.
Chu is a great country with many elite troops. Although this time it did not come out in full bloom, there were tens of thousands of people.
Who would have thought that these tens of thousands of Chu soldiers were successfully attacked by hundreds of people at night, and even captured the King of Chu.
It is said that the Mo family will never die in a hurry to kill the king, and they will often assassinate unrighteous kings, and the princes and marquis are mostly wary.
Now, not only can we rely on fish intestines to do everything, but we can also break out of tens of thousands of Chu troops on the battlefield. The power contained in this is really scary.
The original covenant in the daytime was not necessarily abide by, because the oaths could only be supervised by the Emperor of Heaven and the Gods.
As for the Heavenly Emperor, Ghosts and Gods, can they really monitor the world?
Many people don’t believe it. They just hope that the common people can believe it, but they don’t believe it at all. Otherwise, the Mo family would not have any opinions on ghosts and gods to persuade these nobles.
But now the Mo family has accomplished this big thing among the troops. The Mo family originally had to be the supervisor of the daytime covenant. Even if there are no ghosts and gods, the covenant has to be followed.
While Da Yin and others were frightened by the strength of the Mo family, they were also secretly happy with the covenant in Bai Ri. At least the status of their family was guaranteed within ten years.
As long as they are not absolutely necessary, they no longer dare to make trouble.
Now that the Mo family has prompted the three parties to form an alliance, they sincerely hope that the Mo family can maintain this alliance. After all, the Chu people have been defeated and they can only retreat for one way. The power of the Sicheng Emperor is ultimately better than them.
The stronger the Mo family's power, the more peace of mind they will be. Once the Chu people left, the battle between them and the Emperor of Sicheng would be at the defensive position.
Since Da Yin and others celebrated, the Sicheng Emperor could not fall behind, so they also stood up and said, "Mr. Mo Di's affairs tonight are really beneficial to the world and the people of Shangqiu."
"I am the city of Sicheng and the people of Shangqiu City. I thank the Mo family first."
After thanking the people in the city, the emperor's father Zang did not forget to bring his relationship with the Mo family closer, and said, "A few years ago, the Mo family was going to go to Pei, and I reported to the ancestors. I didn't expect that the righteousness of the past had actually saved Shangqiu City today. This is really the protection of the Emperor of Heaven."
"I knew that the Mo family had Jiahe, and I also knew that the Chu people had ambitions, so I offered it to the Three Jins to support the Three Jins once the Chu people surrounded Shangqiu."
"If I had known that Mr. Mo Zhai could defeat the troops of Chu, why would I have to make a good relationship with the Three Jins, so that the people resented me? Those who know me said that I was worried about the people; those who don't know me said that I beautify Jin!"
While he sighed repeatedly, he also reminded Mo Zhu that he had helped a lot in the Pei County exercising righteousness.
In fact, they are also seeking credit. After all, the Mo family does not lie. They say that it was the King of Chu captured by a young man in Pei County, so they have to believe it.
This time, the Chu people's defeat was only a disadvantage for him.
Now that he has made good fortune in the Three Jins, and the siege of Shangqiu is not lifted by the Jin people, he cannot gain greater prestige and power.
But compared with the previous few days, it seemed that the Chu people were about to break the city, and he was willing to accept the situation in front of him.
Since the Mohist family prompted the three parties to form a ten-year agreement, Sichenghuang had more fiefdoms and soldiers than the other families, and it seemed that he had a good relationship with the Mohist family. If the alliance was destroyed ten years later, he would still have an advantage.
The only drawback is that the Jin people did not reconcile the contribution of the Shangqiu siege to gain judicial power. This can only slowly accumulate strength and delay the family ambitions.
The emperor's father Yue Ling, who was also present, saw that his father responded quite well, but asked less questions, and asked: "The Mo family has made such a great contribution today and resolved the siege of Shangqiu. This is something that should be celebrated."
