After the banquet, Lin Jing inquired from many sources and knew that this time, the two divisions had transported more than 10,000 troops, so he stationed in the city to rest.

He didn't know what to do in three days, and he couldn't help but feel panic.

One was afraid that the Mo family would force them to pay for money, and the other was also worried that the Qi army would come to the entire Jiaozhou Bay and be destroyed by the war and affect his own industries.

Three days later, viscounts from all over the neighborhood gathered in the county.

At the beginning, he said that he would align the agitation and publicity to start a war to benefit the world. These three days have become well known.

Lin Jing is concerned about his own industry, and does he have to spend more money?

But at the meeting later, he did not mention the second thing he was worried about, and only said that everything was based on the rules. He did not need to pay more money to military taxes when serving and to recruiting them.

Lin Jing then breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the Mo family really had a lot of wealth, and there was no need to pay extra taxes to conquer such wars. He also thought that the Mo family really abides by the rules. Now he has been whitewashed and has a lot of wealth. What he fears most is not following the rules. As for whether the rules are reasonable and strict, then it is secondly. As long as the written rules cannot be changed at will.

Finally, the meeting discussed some bans in special periods, and nothing else was left.

As soon as the meeting ended, many people came to inquire about the news. These were all made public and Lin Jing could open up the talk.

Many people with many industries breathed a sigh of relief. The more they did, the more confident they felt, and they were afraid that they would be destroyed by the battle.

The reserve soldiers and civilians who are often recruited according to age and service also gather in service according to the rules, and there is no increase in personnel and mobilization and participation.

There is no change in the city, and people's hearts are very calm.

…………

In Jimo City.

Jimo doctor Tian Zhongshou was frightened when he learned that the Mo family suddenly increased their troops in Jiaozhou Bay.

Jimo is not far from the Mo family, and it is the center of Qi's rule in the southeastern Jiao region, and is one of the five capitals.

There was originally a standing army of 7,000 people stationed here, but with the Mo family's attack on Chu, this standing army had been transferred to Zhucheng to confront the Mo family in Jucheng and Chengyang, preventing the Mo family from breaking into Qi from the eastern front.

Now there are only two thousand troops in Jimo City, and the rest are peasant soldiers who can be temporarily recruited.

Moreover, Jimo's urban defense has not been repaired for many years.

After the end of the Qi-Mo War, the Mo family strictly prohibited the construction of new urban defenses in Jimo in the name of preventing the rebirth of the Duke of Qi from harming the world.

In that battle, Qi State was defeated and unable to resist, so he had to accept it. He was worried that he would provoke the Mo family and let the Mo family make an excuse to attack Qi again, so he was extremely obedient.

In recent years, rest and internal reactionary changes have finally accumulated some wealth and troops and have slowed down, but the city defense of Jimo City is still the primitive rammed earth city of the Bronze Age.

The Mo family suddenly dispatched troops to land in Jiaozhou Bay. Even though the battle has not yet started, I can tell that the Mo family must be ready to fight Jimo after a moment of thinking.

Jimo is near the port, and it is also the nearby capital, and it runs through the central line connecting Jiaodong.

If Jimo City is destroyed, then the entire Jiaodong area will be of the Mo family, with unstoppable contacts.

Going west is Gaomi and Weishui, both of which are plains. Not far from Weishui is Linzi.

Jimo at this time was not Jimo of later generations, but was near Pingdu and on the "waist" of Jiaozhou Peninsula.

In the past, when Wu and Qi battled, the doctor Zhu Mao built Jimo City, both to be able to monitor Laiyi and to deal with the Wu Kingdom's great rear northward.

Later, when the Yue Kingdom established its capital, Langya, and Qi and Yue fought several times, the geographical location of Jimo became even more important.

Tian Zhongshou knew that if the Mo family attacked Jimo from Jiaozhou Bay, it would be difficult to defend. Even though he was anxious, he could only think about strategies.

On the one hand, he sent a scout to inquire secretly, and on the other hand, he quickly sent people to Linzi to Zhucheng to inform him of the matter.

The city soon received news, and was very uneasy and rumors spread.

Some of the Tian family or other nobles wanted to flee to Linzi, or some of the markets said that the Mohist family would be more surrender than invincible.

Tian Zhongshou thought of good plans, but when the city was in chaos, he did not come forward to calm everyone's emotions. Instead, he had a banquet all day to make everyone feel at ease.

He secretly sent people to throw some minced beef and mutton meat at the city and sacrificial halls, which attracted many crows to catch them for several days.

When the Mo family sent troops to the foregone conclusion, he suddenly appeared in the sacrificial community, sent someone to set up an altar, and asked the witches and diviners to make divination.

Many people in Jimo City went to watch. The crows often could eat rotten meat here, and they were not afraid of people. When they saw many people, they thought there were sacrifices and they flew over.

Many of the nobles in the city were surprised. Tian Zhongshou pretended to ask the witches and Bu people, and secretly asked people to drive away the crows when they gathered in the sacrifice club.

For a moment, crows flew around, chirping, and a piece of divine crow drum, like a miracle.

After the witch and Bu prayed, he burned the tortoise shell and said to everyone: "It is a sign of great good fortune. The Mo family has been tragic for thirty years. If this attack on Chu and anger God, they will suffer a great disaster."

"If it surrounds Jimo, it will be difficult to capture it. At that time, Linzi's troops will come to support Zhucheng, and besiege his army and the city of Jimo, and the Mo family will be defeated."

"The god crows fly four times, and God sends orders to the world. In this battle, God will send Gods and men to help."

The witch and Bu people said it three times, and many people around him were really convinced as they looked at the crows flying all over the sky.

These people are mortal enemies of the Mo family's policies, and they are afraid. In addition, the Mo family has maintained an invincible reputation over the years. In addition, they also know that it is difficult to resist in their hearts, and they are inevitably looking forward to some magical skills.

Tian Zhongshou did not know much about military affairs, nor could he command warfare, nor did he know how to develop industry and commerce to accumulate wealth and train the army.

But as a nobleman at the level of a doctor, he didn't believe in the affairs of ghosts and gods at all, so he could think of ways to use the power of ghosts and gods to stabilize the morale of the army.

He knew that the war was coming, and the most terrifying thing before the war was not the strength of the enemy, but the lack of fighting spirit on his own side.

Originally, the Mohist school had the reputation of being good at siegeing cities and the myth of invincibility. Are there many standing troops in Jimo City? The peasant soldiers refused to fight. If the nobles fled first, Jimo would not have to defend it.

Since he was a member of the Tian family, he was granted the title of Jimo and became a master of Jimo. He was also a hero with obsession in his heart.

He knew very well that if Jimo could not defend the danger of losing in the short term, it would cause the field legion in Zhucheng to be double-teamed by the Mo family. Once that field legion was destroyed, there would be no warrior east of Linzi.

If you can keep Jimo for at least one month, you can buy time.

It is obvious that the Mohist family is fighting against the east and the west this time, and no one expected that the Mohist family would transport the army to Jiaodong to land and fight from east to west.

The most important thing to make a comeback is to catch it off guard. If you can defend for a month, the army in Linzi and other places will be ready, and may even win a battle in Jiaodong area to boost the morale of the nobles and shatter the myth of declaring the Mohist invincibility.

Although he did not understand the geometric nine numbers, nor did he know how the methods of attacking and defending the city have evolved to the point where he believed that as long as the soldiers were willing to fight, they could defend them.

This is what happened.

On the altar, the witch and divine people prayed repeatedly, repeating words like "God will send gods to help fight". After three times, someone suddenly stood up in the crowd.

He shouted loudly, "Ah! God sent me to teach you! Can I be a teacher?"

The nobles who were looking forward to miracles in despair turned their heads one after another, but saw that the people who shouted that they were messengers of God were only in their twenties. They were not famous before, and they were just dressed in ordinary clothes in the army.

Tian Zhongshou hurriedly came forward, knelt down at the ordinary-dressed soldier, and said to everyone: "This must be a god!"

When the nobles saw that Tian Zhongshou was a capital doctor, they actually knelt down to such a low-born person. When they thought of the scene where crows were flying all over the past, they all thought: "This man is a low-born person. If he had not been a divine envoy, how could the doctor kneel?"

Looking at the soldier who claimed to be a divine messenger, his eyes turned red, unlike human eyes, and he really wanted to die and be possessed by something.

Tian Zhongshou asked him to sit up and let him sit eastward, while Tian Zhongshou took himself under him.

The soldier, who was known as the God's envoy, said: "God sent me here because the Mohist family was guilty, so he was punished."

"There are ten sins of the Mohist family."

"First, it is called "One of the things that are clear about ghosts and respectful to gods, but in fact it is a blasphemy of ghosts and slandering the will of heaven. Believing in ghosts and gods but saying that the world has no life and can overcome fate. This is one of the great sins!"

“The second…”

This soldier looks ordinary, dresses are also ordinary, and his mouth is in the same dialect as his nobles.

But if you say ten sins in a row, every sentence is clear, it is definitely not something that an ordinary person can say.

After saying the ten sins, the soldier said, "This time the Mo family will be defeated. God sent me to teach you the Master of Yudu. The Master of Du's order is the divine words."

Tian Zhongshou led the other nobles in the city to thank the gods and added more sacrifices. For a moment, many nobles breathed a sigh of relief.

In the distance, among a group of people watching the fun, there were several Mohist spies working on meticulously.

They were really stunned by Tian Zhongshou's performance. They had not seen Tian Zhongshou repairing weapons and rectifying the city defense in the past few days. They thought that Tian Zhongshou knew he was defeated and was ready to escape.

I never thought that this happened today, both God and God’s envoy. I could hardly hold back my laughter when I saw these meticulous works.

One person thought to himself, such a method might have been useful twenty years ago, but where can it be useful now? You are a doctor, but you don’t know that many people in the market know that thunder in the world is just electricity?

If you can only defend the enemy like this, I am afraid that this attack will really destroy you.

These people shook their heads in detail, feeling quite disappointed. I was afraid that the superiors might not believe it.

After all... Jimo is too close to Si Shang, and Jimo is an important transit place connecting Jiaodong and Si Shanghai Road. There are frequent trade exchanges and there are many lecturers in the market. It is useless to do this in Jimo.

This is no longer an era when a group of noble warriors can turn the situation around by fighting bravely. Jimo has few cannons, few guns, and poor city walls, and no reinforcements outside. Even if there is really a god to help, what's the use?
