On the other side of the river.

On the lookout table made of thatch and wood, a soldier from the charity army discovered the situation across the river, hurriedly ran to the lookout table, and shouted loudly: "Company Commander! Company Commander, someone has escaped again, and someone is chasing behind!"

With his feet jumped over the thick pile of wood ash, the soldier who escaped from the other side of the river two years ago seemed to recall the punishment he had suffered back then, and subconsciously touched half of his missing ears.

Although the wound has healed, whenever he sees those who escaped like him in the past few months, the missing ears will ached faintly. The pain arouses inner anger, as if the chest is about to explode.

The wood ash he skipped was lit here every night, just to guide the escapees to find the direction. If the other side asks me, I will talk about how I am free to ignite the other side, what are you doing?

It is fashionable and early in the morning, the grass ash is still a bit hot. Perhaps the people who were on the night before burning potatoes inside, and a few of them jumped over and rolled out like the soldiers.

In the camp, the soldiers had not eaten breakfast yet, were washing their faces and brushing their teeth with pig's bristles. This was a habit among the charity masters and everyone had to follow them.

The soldiers' shouts immediately made several soldiers who had lost their ears or had words on their faces and were punished by moans. They immediately threw away the things in their hands and hurriedly surrounded them.

When the soldier found the company commander, a sharp whistle sounded, and everyone quickly formed a team, picked up their weapons and ran towards the river.

The terrain here is slightly higher and the river water is shallow, which is a few important river crossing locations.

When they arrived at the river bank, the dozen or so fleeing people were only about one mile away from the river, but they could already see the figures of cavalry behind them.

The fleeing farmers on the other side of the river seemed to see hope, and they gathered their strength to ignore the pursuers behind and ran towards the riverside.

However, people cannot escape horses at such a short distance. Even if they are only a few hundred steps away, it seems that they will be caught up before crossing the river.

The stirrups that the Mohists were determined to "benefit the world" became tools for chasing and killing fugitive farmers at this time. Otherwise, how many people could ride horses in Feiguo?

As he was about to be caught up, the soldier on the river bank who had half of his ears couldn't help but shout, "Run! Run! Just get to the river!"

The shouting sound was too loud, and it actually broke the sound. The last few words sounded like birds' sings.

He was right, it would be fine if he arrived by the river, because when we agreed on all this, we did not take the heart of the river as the boundary, but the other side of the shore as the boundary. This was what the Mohist family insisted on. In addition, there was no concept of a territorial border at this time, and Fei did not want to be too irresistible with the Mohist family because of these things, so he agreed.

This yelling that broke the sound was not dispersed by the wind because of the sensation of the river, because after he finished shouting, dozens of anxious and expectant voices shouted together.

The people who shouted were Yue people, Song people, Lu people, and Fei people, but they once had the same identities as those on the other side... the farmers under the fiefdom.

This emotional resonance made this shout pierce the waves of the river, just like the rain dripping from the heads of desperate people traveling far away from the desert. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but it seemed that the people opposite were running faster.

Several soldiers stomped their feet anxiously or slammed their thighs with their clenched fists, anxious for those opposite people who were the same as they once were.

They can't cross the river because it's the rule and there's a reason in it.

A few months ago, when they were transferred here, they encountered an escape incident.

At that time, the young company commander who had just graduated from the military academy was about to rush over, beat those who had captured the fugitive farmer and welcome those who had suffered across the river.

However, the representatives of the company held a meeting between the Mozhe and the backbone of the company. At first, the representatives of the company did not have the upper hand, but in the end they convinced everyone.

These soldiers remembered that the company representative told a story at that time.

The story is very simple.

Chu Fasui said, "I am not guilty."

Chu said: "I am a barbarian."

At that time, the representative of the company said: "Chu attacked Sui, and Sui said that he was not guilty of China's policy, so the State of Chu should not attack Sui. But the King of Chu said that I am a barbarian and do not abide by China's rules."

"Now, with the policy of the Mohist, those people on the other side of the river are not guilty. Those who pursue the other side of the river are guilty, and we must wait for them to cross the river."

This company represents a person in his thirties and is far better than these soldiers in the company. He tells the simple story very clearly.

After hearing this, a young soldier immediately said, "Chu said that he was a barbarian, so he could attack Sui. We said that we would benefit the world, so we could not fine it? Why should we abide by the rules that the world has already existed?"

After the soldier finished speaking, he immediately attracted a lot of cheers. Several people shouted: "Company Commander, Company Representative, cross the river to save him!"

But then the representatives of the company said: "Chu is called a barbarian and wants to observe the politics of China. The King of Chu said that now the princes are conquering, and our Chu State is just a little bit of military strength, so I want to participate in China's political affairs with this. Please ask the Emperor of Zhou to recognize my kingly title."

"But what are the consequences? Duke Huan of Qi used the saying of respecting the king and expelling the barbarians, and allied the princes to attack Chu, and Chu was defeated."

"Of course we can say now that our Mo family is the rule of benefiting the world, so we will condemn you, so we will attack you injustice. But... what we have to face is the unanimous opposition of the princes and nobles in the world."

"Duke Huan of Qi was the one who reigned the king and repelled the barbarians, but now Wei and Qi can also use the 'respecting etiquette to attack Mo' to entangle the world's military forces. If Si Shang was trapped at that time, how would he talk about benefiting the world?"

"It's like you have an enemy, but you're just a child now. Are you going to kill the enemy? This is the same principle. Doing this is not to benefit the world, but to harm the world!"

This is a company representative of an ordinary charity commander, and it is also a daily conversation in a somewhat ordinary charity commander company.

Because it is ordinary, it is unusual in this world.

The passion of those soldiers was finally suppressed by these words, and was persuaded by reasons such as "Believe that the Mohist organization will not forget its desire to benefit the world, and wait for a while."

So today these people can only shout and cannot cross the river.

After Kong shouted a few words, the company commander who had been silent suddenly had a whim and said to the representative of the company beside him: "The people of Si Shang are innocent of the country of Fei. As long as they do not bring weapons, we have not violated the rules. They know our identities and are afraid they will not dare to take action."

"If you don't help, these people will definitely not be able to escape. I want to tell you to take a few people over and stop them!"

After he said this, several people immediately shouted: "Good solution!"

The matter was urgent, and several people discussed it. After agreeing, the four of them threw down their weapons, took off their military clothes, and waded through the river that was not deep under the company commander's lead.

The company representative was here to watch the situation opposite calmly, and the soldiers held the muskets in their hands and looked at the opposite nervously.

The company commander with his upper body crossed the river without talking nonsense. He immediately rushed into the crowd with the strong men and shouted at the dozen panic-exhausted people: "It's okay!"

After saying that, the soldiers held hands and surrounded the dozen people behind them, standing in front of the noble private soldiers who were riding horses to chase after them.

The private soldiers looked at the Mo family's righteous master who was naked and couldn't help frowning. They didn't know what to do, but they didn't dare to have a conflict with these people directly.

So several riders rode around the crowd and blocked the road to escape by the river. Both sides refused to give in and stood up.

The opposite side did not dare to rush in and catch people directly, nor did they want to go back like this. The righteous master should not move lightly, nor could he take the initiative to hit people. He could only circle around the river like an eagle catching a chick.

After a few rounds, a very ordinary soldier of the charity division with his upper body suddenly came up with a "crawling" idea.

Since Master He Yi can't control it, what if he crosses the river?

This cunning thought flashed by. The inconspicuous soldier looked at the rider who was in circles with them, staring at the long black thing under a stallion, and thought of the pain of being kicked there when he was playing with people when he was a child.

So while no one was paying attention, he stretched out his feet and rushed to the stallion hard.

The stallion was originally on the bank of the river. Leng Bufan was coming for a while and couldn't bear the pain. He jumped and rushed towards the river like he was stung by a hornet.

It was very close to the river bank, and the horse's hooves were almost instantly stained with water. The soldier immediately shouted: "I have chased through the boundary! I have passed the boundary!"

With this shout, the strong men who came over with each other felt aroused their heads. Thinking of their duties they usually talk about, their hearts were filled with anger and resentment. At this time, they could not resist the inspiration of these words. They turned around and were convinced that the horse had rushed into the river, and immediately said, "Dare to cross the line!"

As the words were about to end, these people were all brave and brave. Regardless of their naked upper body and no armor and weapons, they would go against those riding horses.

There were about twenty pursuers riding horses. The company commander had a hot head, but he was still awake. He thought that one of them was behind him, but what was he afraid of at this time? Since they had crossed the boundary first, if I didn't go up at this time, how could I lead the troops in the future?

Thinking of this, he took the lead, pulled the leg of a rider beside him with both hands, pulled down hard, and punched the rider between the ribs.

On the other side of the river, everyone didn't see clearly what was going on. They only saw a rider rushing into the river and wrestled across the river.

When the representative of the company saw it, he screamed and shouted: "Go up! What are you waiting for?"
