Of course, the ministers of Zheng State knew the history of Zheng State.

A lot of things happened in the eighth year of Duke Xiang of Zheng, but the close ministers knew very well what Zheng Junyi was talking about.

Before that year, Zheng State rebelled again, following Jin and rebelling against Chu, so King Zhuang of Chu sent troops to attack Zheng.

The city wall was attacked for more than ten days without conquering it, and on the 18th day... Somehow, it was probably soaked in water and suddenly collapsed.

How wide is it collapsed?

It collapsed as wide as the section of the city wall that was now blasted by the Wei and Han Allied Forces.

The people of Zheng have been in high spirits for 17 days, but the city wall suddenly collapsed on the 18th, and their mentality suddenly collapsed.

He cried all over the sky, thinking that the sky was about to destroy Zheng, how could he defend the city wall if it collapsed? The morale of the entire Zheng State was completely lost, and the people's hearts were completely collapsed because a section of the city wall of about thirty meters collapsed.

It was the Spring and Autumn Period, and the clan and the national system still existed. The Chinese people could still use the reason of "the Chinese people's patriotism" to mobilize, which was completely different from the current state of abolishing the state of the country and the country's no longer the lowest class of the ruling class.

This is what Zheng Junyi is talking about.

The Zheng people were so ambitious that the city wall collapsed and their morale completely collapsed.

The Zheng people are no longer as good as the Zheng people of that generation. However, the city wall collapsed and the morale in the city rose instead of decline. They were besieged for more than 20 days without any sign of breaking the city. This is extremely terrifying.

What's the problem with this?

There is no doubt that it is obviously the changes brought by those ink masters.

So, if the ink master wants to do something else in the next step, who can defend against it?

What is the difference between defending Xinzheng City and not being able to defend it?

After defending, the country and the ancestral temple were destroyed by the common people of Zheng State.

If you cannot keep it, the country and the ancestral temple will be destroyed by Wei and Han.

For Zheng Jun, there is not much difference.

Zheng Junyi recalled the past and sighed: "It is ridiculous to snatch the ox when he plowed the field; it is ridiculous to help the farming and reward the fields when he rewarded him?"

The close ministers also sighed: "But the Mohist family took help in farming and took the land as a reward. If it became a rule, it would not be ridiculous. If they did not do so, they would be ridiculed."

Zheng Junyi closed his eyes and sighed: "This is exactly what I am worried about."

Purging the fields and snatching the cattle is an allusion that the State of Chen was destroyed. The State of Chu punished Chen because of his "debauchery and rudeness", and then wanted to abolish the state and establish a county. It was evaluated as: "Others made the mistake of letting the cattle trample on the fields, but when you punished, you snatched the cattle from others."

Zheng Junyi sighed that according to the Mo family's intention, the people wanted to defend the capital, and at most this was to help the kings and nobles farm. As a result, after helping others plant the land, they had to turn the land over and turn it into their own as reward.

This is even more shameless than snatching a cattle by snatching a field.

The rules of Zhou Li were destroyed, and all countries were doing things like abolishing the state and establishing counties. It turned out that at most it was "punishment" and then retreating troops.

Now the Mohist school has to establish new rules, to make the people become people again, to distribute the land, to discuss politics, and to reach a contract with the monarch...

This new rule is impossible for the monarch and nobles of any country to accept.

In Zheng Junyi's view, the nobles of the Song State rose up to resist the shameless rules of the Mo family, and were strangled by the rebels in the country and the Si Shang Mo family.

In his opinion, the state of Song had already destroyed the country. Even if there was a monarch, was Song still a monarch and aristocrat?

He doesn't want to follow in the footsteps.

Originally, he wanted to use the power of the people to defend the city, but once the power of the people was truly stimulated, he was afraid, very afraid.

The comparison with the incident in Xianggong's eight years made him convinced that the Mohist school did have the "power of ghosts and gods" that could make the people burst out with such terrible power.

He once thought that he could use this power, but now it seems that he is afraid that this power will swallow him.

Now, he no longer felt guilty about the matter of "opening the city and asking Wei Han to enter the city and cutting the marquis as kings" discussed with his close ministers that day.

The day before yesterday, the people tied up the nobles who had privately stored food and came to the palace with great momentum and shouted that they would be executed. Zheng Junyi's courage had been scared and made him firm in his mind to use the power of Wei and Han to kill the people.

If he died in Wei and Han, he could also be a vassal and sacrifice.

When he sighed, his close minister said, "The emperor is worried about Duke Xiang's eight years of work, but the minister thinks it is happy."

"In the eighth year of Duke Xiang's city wall collapse, the people have no desire to fight. The emperor knows. Could it be that Wei Han doesn't know?"

"Now that the city wall has been broken and the city is still resisting, what is Wei Han thinking?"

"Why would Chu and Si Shang sit down and watch? They can't capture it for a long time, and the army gathers and is exhausted. Once reinforcements arrive, they are afraid that they will be defeated again."

"Before the city wall is broken, the emperor should not surrender to Wei Han, because Wei Han thought that once the city wall is broken, the new Zheng will be surrendered. Even if the emperor surrenders, he may be judged and detained as the story of Duke Cheng of Wei, or sacrifices for the common people to abolish Zheng."

"After the city wall is broken, the emperor can surrender to Wei Han, because Wei Han found that the city wall was broken and still did not capture Xinzheng, so he paniced that reinforcements were about to arrive. If he surrendered at this time, Wei Han would be happy."

This is the reason why he used the blood of the people to increase the negotiation price code that day. Zheng Junyi nodded, knowing the meaning of his close ministers.

The close minister said again: "Your Majesty, I think there are only three endings in Xinzheng's affairs."

"Wei Hansheng, there is no need to say anything."

"If the Chu people win, then the Si family will rely on the Chu people. Wouldn't you hear about the Tian family's reign on Qi? Is the king willing to repeat the matter of Jiang Qi?"

"If the Mo family wins, the people will need to revolution. Wouldn't you hear about the incidents of Song, Teng and others? At that time, the people will not be responsible for the monarchy and the people will be resentful. If you are not careful in the future, you will be afraid that you will never be able to get rid of it."

"So for you, it is unknown how the victory or defeat of Wei and Han is, but surrendering Wei and Han is the most beneficial."

Zheng Junyi asked: "So when will the best time to have a secret conversation with Wei Han?"

A close minister said, "At this moment, now."

"Wei Han has not been able to conquer the city for several days, and the Chu and Mo families must act, which is the most impatient time. This is one of them."

"The second thing is that if the Chu people come to help, they will join Wei Han again at that time. I am afraid that Wei Han will fail, and it will be bad at that time."

"Three, the Mohist school came to support the Mohist school for its own support, and the emperor voluntarily surrendered, and the Mohist school had no right. I surrender voluntarily, why do you need to help me?"

Zheng Junyi praised: "This is what I have learned. It's just that this matter requires confidentiality. What are your good plans?"

The close minister said again: "Your Majesty can send people out of the city first and make an agreement on the signal. At that time, you can control the side city gate and open it to welcome the Wei and Han army. If the flanks are attacked, the city defense will be destroyed."

"Your Majesty can say: In the past, when the Si family coup was in a coup, you had no choice but to succeed the throne. You were to endure it. One day you could kill the Si family to restore the revenge of Duke. There are three righteousness for Wei Han to send troops, but these three crimes were done by Si and had nothing to do with you."

"Your Majesty can take off your shirt, expose your arms with your chest and your arms, hold the flag made of yak tail in your left hand and the scimitar of killing livestock in your right hand to welcome the army of Wei and Han. I only said that I hope that Wei and Han could take into account the friendship of their pro-Jin period, retain the sacrifices of Zheng State, and be demoted to the king, so that you can continue the ancestral temple with your fief."

"Zheng land is in a place where Wei and Chu fight, and it will be unstable, and the people will inevitably resent. The emperor can ask for another fief and move to the ancestral temple to be a vassal of Wei and Han."

Since even the details have been considered, Zheng Jun has no doubts.

After thinking about it, Wei Han's main attack direction was the Mo family and the Si nobles, and his confidants could also control a section of the city wall.

As long as you can set a signal with Wei Han, don’t make an appointment, but let Wei Han ambush his troops outside the city gate. When the time comes and open the city gate, the defense in the city will completely collapse.

But the premise is that Wei Han must agree to his conditions, which is the top priority.

If you want to agree, you must not only have to have a secret talk, but also take the initiative. Once Wei Han enters the city, you must immediately organize your confidant to attack the Si family.

The reasons for Wei and Han attacking Zheng were all caused by the Si family, including Zheng and Han's blood feud, which was also a continuation of the continuous war with South Korea after Si Ziyang came to power.

The most important thing is that the people in the city resist the illegal orders, and he, Jun Zheng, needs to issue them.

If a large town can be granted a sacrifice to Zheng State, it may not be a good thing. It is better than a tragedy like the Tian family's Qi Dynasty, or a riot like the chaos of the Song State.

…………

A few days later, since I learned that the Mo family and the Chu State had been in contact with each other, and since I learned that Xinzheng could not conquer him for a long time, Gongshuzhu, who had been frowning, finally laughed happily for the first time these days.

Zheng Jun’s letter has been sent. This matter cannot be decided by the leader in front of the formation. It must be decided by the prime minister and the king.

The Lord General was not qualified to agree to the condition that "Zheng State was demoted to the king and retained a fief".

Gongshuzhuo didn’t have it either, only Wei Ji was qualified, but Wei Ji was too far away, so Gongshuzhuo had the right to make decisions about Zheng’s affairs at the moment.

This incident is extremely secret. Gongshu Zhuo just gave this news to a few confidants, and the laughter kept echoing.

"This matter is amazing! It's amazing!"

"After Zheng Jun surrendering, the Mo family has no soldiers to go out. Since Zheng Jun said that it was to endure and kill Si, why should the Mo family send troops?"

"After Xinzheng was sent, the army could be corrected, waiting for labor to work, and waiting for the Chu people to go north, and this battle would be won. Since the Mo family was rumored to be sent out to cavalry and artillery, once Zheng Jun surrendered, the Mo family had no reason to continue to send troops, so the Chu people would not have cavalry or few artillery, so what's our army's concern?"

Gongshu Zhuo was overjoyed and was even more convinced that the Mohist school would withdraw because... the Mohist school was so trustworthy.

The hatred of killing your whole family is different from whether you are trustworthy or not.

Indeed, the Mohist family seemed like a bastard to Gongshuzhu, but the Mohist methods were logical and they were indeed trustworthy within this rule.

For example, the Mo family killed Mr. Qi and Wu, and the world was shocked, but this incident just showed that the Mo family was trustworthy and rules, and if they wanted to kill you, they would kill you. It was useless for the Emperor Zhou to send people to ask for it. Although this rule was not the original old rule of the world, the new rules were set by the Mo family, and the Mo family must be kept by it.

For example, many principles of the Mohist school are completely different from the old rules, but the Mohist school said that the Song State was neutral, so if we send troops to rescue Zheng, we would rather take a detour.

For example, in the battle between Qi and Mo, it was said that Lu was innocent and could not bear the war that affected Lu, and no longer had the neutral country to start a war, so the Si Shang Army did not ambush Liang's father doctor in Lu.

At least it seems like this now.

Why did the Mohist family send troops? Because they did not attack, they saved Zheng.

Who is Zheng?

In Gongshuzhuo's opinion, Zheng Jun and Zheng State's ancestral temple are Zheng.

Now Zheng Junyi surrendered and said: I have long wanted Wei Han to attack, and forbearance is to get rid of the Si family who killed the king in the coup.

So, what's the point of attack?
