If you do something like setting fire to the city, you will face risks.

Many Fengjun thought to themselves, as the monarch, you said everything so clearly, but it came to an abrupt end. You still hope to hear the advice of burning the city from us?

We do things, and we take the blame. So what do you want the king to do?

This time, the nobles were surprisingly unanimous and were not silent, but no one answered and wanted to burn the city.

Everyone thought that burning the city was indeed a good plan. Even if it burned the city, there must be an order from the king. We just had to execute the king's order, otherwise we would not be able to bear this serious crime.

Now that there is paper, we have to ask for a formal king's order to keep it to prove it so that we will not be able to explain it clearly.

Today, if you can kill your brother with us for the sake of the great throne, it is hard to know that the Mohist family will not be able to fight tomorrow and ask whether you will throw us out.

Furthermore, the Mohist school always talks about "fa". According to their law, disasters will not be as good as their family members, and descendants of their own family still have the opportunity to survive.

But the heroes violated the ban with martial arts, but those market knights do not preach the truth. If the whole family is killed, who will ask to reason?

Just as the nobles refused, a handsome man next to the King of Chu stood up and said, "It has come to this point, only by setting fire to the city of Wu to scorched earth can we stop the Mo family from entering."

As soon as he said this, many nobles immediately stood up and said, "This is not something."

"The people of Zhucheng are all people of Chu, and burning the city is unkind."

"Besides, the air drys at this time, and once the fire breaks out, the city of Zhu is full of railings and thatched huts, which is difficult to control. It must be that there are many innocent people killed or injured."

"The fire is extremely powerful. Although it can indeed block the Mo family, it is unkind."

The handsome man who proposed to burn the city was one of Xiong Liangfu's male partners.

The nobles opposed loudly, and the original intention of the words was: "Great, you should bear this responsibility. Burn it quickly and dry it. Once the fire breaks out, the city of Wu will turn into a sea of ​​fire, and the nearby mountains and forests must also burn."

This is the true meaning of the words, and what you hear in your ears is caused by unkind opposition.

The handsome man shouted: "Do not attach importance to the big things. If the Mo family's troops arrive, it will be a disaster for the country to destroy the seeds, the country will be overturned, and the ancestral temple will be overthrown. Those who are kings and ministers should make it a great thing to keep the ancestral temple and the country, and the rest will be small things."

"How can a woman be kind to achieve success? A real man makes a quick decision."

"If the city of Zhu is not burned into scorched earth, the Mohist family will immediately chase after you, and there will be plenty of food and grass, and it will mobilize the transportation of foolish people, so you can continue to pursue and be difficult to get rid of."

"At that time, the monarchs and ministers of Chu will be destroyed by the brutal Mo family. If the monarchs and ministers are destroyed, how can we restore the country and return to the ancestral temple?"

"I'm sorry that the summer flood has not arrived at this time. Otherwise, I should dig the river to stop the Mohist chasing troops!"

His words expressed the voices of the nobles, but the nobles still retorted: "This matter is unkind."

Even the King of Chu himself said, "This matter is unkind. I am the King of Chu and the people of Chu. How can I burn the city to stop the pursuit of the army?"

The male favorite gave a great gift to the King of Chu: "The king's kindness cannot be repaid. He can only do his best to protect the country and protect the ancestral temple to repay the kindness in case."

"Although I can't fight in the field, I can defend the city."

"The king and the princes should retreat quickly, reorganize their talents, and contact the princes. In the past, the Yue people destroyed the country, Goujian slept with firewood and tasted gall, and trained the Yue army to avenge his shame in one battle."

"Today's Mohist school's power is unstoppable, but it can be used to practice the same trick of Goujian, and to avoid the edge of the ancestral temple in the future to sacrifice."

After saying that, he snatched the ground with his head and his forehead was covered in blood. The King of Chu sighed and hurriedly helped each other.

The handsome man stood up, looked at the nobles, and opened his eyes widened and said, "I will die in this matter. If I die, if Chu can survive, I will die for justice."

"The world destroys me unkind and unrighteous. Even if the Mo family destroys me as a war criminal, I will not be afraid of the name behind me. Your lords and princes, don't forget the shame of today, assist the king to restore Yingdu and inherit the ancestral temple."

"If there are any violations, the heaven and earth will kill each other!"

A nobleman thought, so that's it, are we waiting for us here?

This was obviously the dead soldiers of the King of Chu who came forward to make the nobles vow to assist the king. After all, someone must guard the city of Zhu. At the end of the defense, a torch must be set to burn the city of Zhu into scorched earth, so that they can have the opportunity to delay time for the escape of the King of Chu and the nobles.

Naturally, it would not work in the field of Bashui. After Shen Gong was defeated, the nobles of Chu understood that if they fought in the field, they would probably all die in the formation.

After the field battle is cut off, if an ordinary dead soldier does not have the ability to command tens of thousands of troops.

If you defend the city, it means defending the city, but in fact it is to burn the city and burn the scorched earth.

The Mohist family's methods of siege were so high that they were famous all over the world. There was no cannon or strong new-style city wall guards without morale. What's the point of guarding?

Since it was the King of Chu who came forward to defend the city and burn the city, the nobles always had to make a statement, and this was actually a deal.

Xiong Liangfu was not right to be in the throne. Although the nobles did not object, the premise for not objecting was that the nobles got what they wanted and reformed.

Now Xiong Liangfu ran from Jianghan to Nanyang, and had nothing but his bloodline. What if the local nobles refused to recognize him? What if the local nobles called others as king? What if the local nobles bought these Jianghan Fengjun who lost their fiefdoms like a dog that was a broken family?

Although things like swearing are basically useless, they are basically useless and are better than nothing, and there is another issue involving taking responsibility.

If the claim that the city burns the scorched earth is proposed by the King of Chu himself, then the responsibility for this matter is like this: the King of Chu wants to burn the city, but the nobles oppose it, but the king's order is difficult to violate, so the city burns.

Once something happens and the situation is unfavorable, the nobles can immediately trade Xiong Liangfu and speak up righteously. This person is not kind, and it is not my lord.

Although the nobles were afraid that Xiong Liangfu would sell them, wouldn’t Xiong Liangfu be worried that the nobles would sell him?

If the claim that the city burns the scorched earth is proposed by the King of Chu's dead soldiers, then the responsibility for this matter is as follows: the dead soldiers are loyal to the country, the King of Chu opposes, and the nobles oppose it, but this person stays behind the city and the king and the nobles to fight for time to escape, and eventually burns the city.

The deceased man’s approach is in line with morality, and dying for the king is also worthy of praise. So under such praise, burning a city can be discussed. At least some people may think that love is necessary, and this person is a righteous man.

Besides, everyone is dead, who will the Mo family catch?

In fact, the matter of burning the city is a technical job, and it is not a matter of just a fire that can hinder the pursuit of soldiers.

Killing and setting fires are all technical jobs.

Therefore, such things cannot be carried out by one or two dead soldiers. They must be cooperated by soldiers, so it is impossible to act secretly.

If this matter is really the spontaneous behavior of the dead man, then the dead man can take over the matter of defending the city without saying a word. After the King of Chu and the nobles left, he will organize the city burning.

But in this case, the King of Chu couldn't explain clearly - Is it related to your dead soldier, Xiong Liangfu, how can you get rid of it?

This is not a moral issue, because the nobles still do not think that Gongziwu had any serious sin back then, but a question related to fate, name and family continuation.

The King of Chu did not want to bear this guilt, not because he was unbearable, but because this matter might lead to him being betrayed and betrayed by the nobles.

Therefore, the King of Chu had to act like this, and the Dead Soldiers could not do it secretly by themselves.

The King of Chu used a means to tie the responsibility for this matter to all the nobles, and after binding it, the term "the spontaneous behavior of the dead men defending the city by themselves."

Nowadays, the nobles can certainly oppose them, so the opposing nobles will offend the other nobles.

Now that I have decided to escape, the matter of burning the city and scorched earth is what everyone wants, it would be fine if you really object, but don’t blame everyone for killing you first.

The vassals in the north now seem to have suffered little losses. The reason why the Mo family attacked Chu was because the King of Chu rebelled in a reactionary coup and implemented an unjust policy.

What if the northern vassals choose to negotiate peace with the Mo family? Or what if the Mo family had to accept peace talks under the oppression of the princes such as Wei, Han, Qi, etc., what if the Mo family sold the King of Chu?

If it involves the matter of Burning the City, this itself is another direction that can make a big deal.

It is not that the truth does not blame the public. If the Mo family wins, all the nobles who come today may have a share and will bear responsibility for this matter.

But for the nobles and princes, if they are involved too much, the King of Chu will be safer. If the princes in the north really wants to make peace with the Mo family, they will not be able to send out all the princes in Jianghan from the past. In that case, there will be no legal principles at all, and the new king will probably not be able to stand firm.

The meaning of King Chu is already very clear.

I sent someone to burn the city. You don’t need support, you just need not object.

I have bought you the time to escape, and let everyone bear this responsibility together. Everyone advances and retreats. If there is a peace in the future, you will not be able to escape. Therefore, it is best to protect me and fight with the relatives of the vassal states in the north. Don’t be bribed and bewitched by them to destroy me as a bargaining weight for peace talks with the Mo family.

If you don’t agree, then be a truly benevolent person. Now let me stand up and persuade me to kill this person who proposed to burn the city to "only know small righteousness is actually a great harm."

If you want to be a truly benevolent person, you always have to pay a price, and you can't just shout slogans.

In this situation, whoever stands up to be a truly benevolent person will be enemies of all the great nobles present.

There are many warriors and kind people in the country of Chu, but at this time, there is no other person who conforms to the definition of courage and benevolence under the changes of the times in the past thirty years.

Sure enough, after a while, a group of nobles talked about a series of major issues such as the country, ancestral temples, traditions, etiquette and law, and seemed to have forgotten the matter about setting fire to the city just now.

All the nobles swear together, and they will wholeheartedly assist the King of Chu and support the country. If there is any violation, the heaven and earth will be killed together.

Then the King of Chu said to the handsome man: "The matter of burning the city cannot be done. I will entrust you to guard it. Can all the ministers object to this matter?"

All the ministers did not object.

This sentence asks two questions.

Do you object if you say you don’t burn the city?

Leave the matter of defending the city and cutting off the rear to the person who just proposed that the city must be burned. Do you object?

Everyone knew in their hearts that it was inevitable to burn the city, but the King of Chu no longer took responsibility and he did not take it.

But if the King of Chu takes responsibility, he has to bear it himself. The responsibility that the King of Chu can bear is, even though he knows that this person has the tendency to burn the city, but he does not stop changing the generals, just a whisper. Then the nobles also heard the King of Chu's advice not to burn the city, and also heard the handsome man telling him about the plan of burning the city. If the King of Chu has the responsibility, the ministers have the responsibility.
