Putting aside the words of Chang Fei and Gu Buxing, he secretly set up a plan to plan the Zhao family, and then returned to the Yique Mo Academy.

Because in the early spring, when the grains were planted, Nazi Jian and Xiren decided to return to their hometown to prepare for spring ploughing. Mo Zhai didn't go back for a long time, so he took his wife and children and returned with his parents, along with his eldest disciple Yu Huali.

Along the way, every time Mo Zhai and his father talk about the world and debate the scriptures, Mo Zhai will call the bird to his side to listen. The fowl just listened carefully, but never asked. Occasionally, there is a break, Mo Zhai will talk about his own martial arts and the poultry slippery, this fowl slippery is a little thorough, can be called a martial arts wizard, very satisfying to Mo Zhai, the fly in the ointment, this fowl slippery is too wooden, only know passive learning and do not know the initiative to ask. Mo Zhai took this to heart when he saw it, and decided to find an opportunity to dial it out.

Back at the foot of Huishan, the villagers learned that Zijian's family had returned, and they came to visit, Mo Zhai and Ayu returned the salute one by one, this kind of villagers' simplicity often makes people feel comfortable, a feeling of returning to nature.

Stayed at home for a few days, helped his parents plough the heavens and the earth, sowed seeds, and decided to go to Naqufu to see, the Mo School has not returned since parting, put his wife and children at home, and set off for Qufu with the birds.

When I returned to the Mo's School, I felt cordial, this was the base where I founded the school for the first time to promote my thoughts. Inside, a group of children can be seen practicing martial arts, and there are bursts of endorsements.

"Slippery, this is the place where teachers teach, and the scenes of the establishment of the year are still in front of you." Mo Zhai said with a smile.

"Master is not a very human being, he already had the demeanor of a master at such a young age, and he dared to establish Moxue in the holy land of Confucianism, who in the world can?" When she saw this school, she couldn't help but admire it from the bottom of her heart.

Pushing open the door, the master and apprentice walked straight in. The disciple who was practicing martial arts, one of whom was a little older, stepped forward and asked politely, "May I ask the two uncles, which one are you looking for?" ”

Looking at this little boy, he was only twelve or thirteen years old, and his demeanor was very polite. Mo Zhai knew that he had only entered the hall after he left, and asked the little boy with a smile, "I'm a juzi, is Elder Fuqiu here?" ”

"Wow! Are you a moment? Wait a minute, I'm going to call Mr. Fuqiu! When the man heard this, he hurriedly saluted, showed adoration, and then informed Fuqiu to the house.

As soon as he heard that Mo Zhai had returned, Fuqiu was really overjoyed, and ordered the people to open all the gates, and led many people to go out to greet him. Among those people who studied with Mo Zhai in their early years, they felt very cordial when they saw Mo Zhai at this moment.

Slippery stepped forward to meet Fuqiu. The other people introduced each other, and Fuqiu led Mo Zhai into the inner hall.

Now there are thirty-two disciples in this school, plus those who have been out of the school before, as of now, there are a total of fifty-one people, and the disciples who have come out of the school have followed several other elders and sent them to the major princes, some of them have gone to some small countries to seek a way out, and some have stayed in the school to help Fuqiu manage.

Fu Qiu told Mo Zhai about the current situation of the school, and Mo Zhai was very relieved when he heard it.

After staying in the school for more than three months, Mo Zhai taught his homework every day, and after so many years of precipitation of knowledge and experience, Mo Zhai's thinking became more and more mature. During this period, he also sorted out his thoughts, carved them into bamboo slips, and left them in the school.

During this period, the students called Mo Zhai Mozi for the convenience of the title, which means teacher. When he first heard the title of "Mozi", Mo Zhai smiled and said to Fuqiu: "Since the age of twelve, he was loved by the people of Shuangcheng and won the title of Mozi. ”

Fu Qiu also smiled, "Actually, you deserve the title of Mozi a long time ago, but you are just modest." ”

In 455 B.C., Mo Zhai was loved by all the people in the Mo School in Qufu and was once again honored as "Mozi".

On this day, Mozi and Fowl Slippery bid farewell to Fuqiu and entrusted the Mo's School to him again.

Leaving Qufu, the two traveled all the way north. Yu Huali couldn't help but ask, "Master, where are we going on this trip?" ”

Mozi pointed to the north: "I have heard Taiyue for a long time, it is the first mountain in the land of Qilu, and I will go to this mountain today." ”

At the foot of the mountain, wine and dried meat were prepared, and the master and apprentice climbed all the way.

I don't know if this Taiyue doesn't come, this immersive scene, I suddenly feel its beauty. The mountains here are majestic, reaching up to the sky, and the cascading peaks are like swords towering into the sky, piercing the sky. Where there are mountains, there is water, and the water of Taiyue is like a dragon spring, clear and sweet, gushing endlessly. Such as the dragon spits jade, such as white practice of heavenly water. The majestic mountain peaks are sweet and sweet, nurturing the boundless lush mountains and forests, the pines and cypresses are strong, the mountain wind is moving, the blue waves are surging, and the wind is swaying up to 90,000 miles.

With the footsteps of Mozi and the birds, the two soon came to the peak, and at a glance, the mountains under their feet were winding and undulating, continuous, stopping to look east, as if they could see the waves of the East China Sea.

Mozi took out the wine and meat, sat on it with some thatch, and beckoned the bird to sit down: "Walk all the way, rest for a while." Eat some meat and drink and enjoy the scenery slowly. ”

Seeing the Master treating her like this, she was touched. After bowing again, he sighed and sat down next to Master.

Mozi looked at the chief disciple with a smile, and asked him while motioning for him to eat: "Huali, you have been with me for three years, and every time you teach, you never ask questions, but I know from your eyes that you have questions, why?" Since you and I are commensurate with each other, there should be no more doubts, and if you have any doubts, just ask. ”

Hearing the master's question, Yu Huali hurriedly saluted again, and then said: "The disciple entered the master's door as a Confucian student, for fear that the teacher would blame the disciple, so he never dared to take the initiative to ask questions, and worked diligently on thin ice, hoping to be recognized by the master. ”

Mozi smiled, nodded and encouraged: "Then talk about the problem in your heart, maybe we can discuss it together." ”

The fowl said "Yes." Then he asked: "Today, the etiquette and music are broken, the king's order is not obeyed, and the princes are fighting each other for hegemony, and the war will inevitably exist in the siege of the city and the seizure of the land, but there are many plundering and killing in the siege of the city and the land, resulting in the destruction of human beings. When the war started, how the weaker side could avoid being captured, the disciple wanted to ask how to defend the city. ”

Mozi nodded after hearing this, and replied: "This is a very good starting point, and I have a sense of responsibility to take the common people in the world as my own responsibility." In ancient times, there were also people who knew how to defend the city, who did not know the general trend, did not care for the people internally, did not conclude peace externally, had few troops but alienated countries with many troops, and despised strong countries with weak strength. You have to be cautious about this, if you don't get it right, you will be tired when you know how to defend the city. ”

After bowing again, he bowed to the ground and bowed his head, hoping to figure out the way to defend, and said: "The disciple still takes the liberty of asking, if the besieging side has many soldiers and is brave, then the besieging generals are well versed in the way of using soldiers, blocking our moat with earth and stones, the sergeants attack together, the siege ladder is erected, the weapons of the attack have been arranged, and the brave soldiers are rushing to climb our city wall, how to deal with it?" ”

Mozi replied, "Are you asking about the defense method against the ladder?" To be able to ask this question means that you have studied it deeply, and you are not rushing to ask. The ladder is a bulky siege machine that needs to be erected by multiple people, and it is very difficult to move. The defender of the city can build a 'walking city' and a 'miscellaneous building' on the city wall to surround itself. Appropriate distance should be maintained between the city and the miscellaneous buildings, and the part between the two should be covered with protective curtains, so the distance should not be too wide. The method of building the 'castle' is that the castle is 20 feet higher than the original city wall, and a jagged wall is added to it, which is called a 'moat', which is 10 feet wide, and the large trees on the left and right sides are 20 feet horizontally, and the height and width correspond to the castle.

The small hole in the lower part of the correction wall is called the small hole of the 'Jue Hole' and the 'Rat Hole', and the hole is covered with something. The width of the arrangement of the throwing machine, the ramming vehicle to resist the collision, the stack for the rescue, the temporary operation of the city, etc., should be equal to the breadth of the enemy's attack. Soldiers with engravings and swords should be carried between the various instruments, and among them, ten of them should be in charge of the chariot and five of them with swords, and the sergeants with great strength should be selected. Observe the enemy with the best eyesight, give the call to fight with the sound of drums, or shoot at the enemy on both sides, or concentrate on one place, or throw weapons at the enemy with the help of a technical machine, and pour arrows, gravel, and dust from the city to the enemy below the city, plus throw torches downward, pour boiling water, and at the same time reward and punish the enemy with strict punishment, and act calmly, but also make a quick decision so that no other accident will occur. Defend like this, and the ladder attack will have to be cracked.

The defenders of the city built a temporary wall on the 'walking city', all six feet high, installed arrows outside the wall, and fired them mechanically, and the enemy's rammer was withdrawn when it came, and it was used when it did not come. The 'Jue Cave', one every three feet. In addition, there is a 'tribulus throw', which must be placed according to the range of the enemy's attack, and the wall is pushed down with a cart and then pulled up again with a cart for repeated use.

Placing a broken tree ten feet away from the city is called 'nesting'. The thickness of the skirt is ten feet. The method of cutting down broken trees is to uproot them, cut them into 10-foot sections, and bury them deep in the ground at intervals, regardless of size, so that they cannot be pulled out.

On the city wall, there is a 'kill' every twenty steps, and there is a 'mustache' for storing throwables, and the mustache is ten feet thick. 'Kill' An has two gates, and the doors are five feet wide. There can also be a door, but it should be buried shallowly, not firmly, so that it can be easily pulled out. On the castle, a 'stone' was placed in the place opposite the gate for throwing.

There are fires hanging on the city, called hanging fires, and a hook for hanging fires is set every four feet. There is a stove in five steps, and the stove door is equipped with charcoal. Let all the enemies enter, set fire to the door, and throw a hanging fire. The dismounted combat equipment is placed accordingly according to the enemy's offensive range. A suspended fire is set up between the two combat equipment, led by a soldier, waiting for the drum to go out. As soon as the drum sounded, a suspended fire was lit, and the enemy approached and immediately dropped. If the enemy extinguishes the hanging fire, it will be fired again. If this is repeated many times, the enemy will be exhausted, and will lead the troops away. As soon as the enemy withdrew, the death squads were ordered to pursue the fleeing enemy from the left and right holes, but the warriors and lords were to follow the sound of the drums in the city and retreat into the city. Then take advantage of the counterattack to set up an ambush, in the middle of the night at the third watch on the city on all sides of the drums and shouts, the enemy will be suspicious, the ambush soldiers can take the opportunity to break through the enemy camp, capture and kill the enemy leader. However, it is necessary to make military uniforms in white and communicate with each other by passwords. In this way, the siege method with the ladder failed. ”

This explanation is really detailed, and Mozi uses stones to demonstrate while talking. He added, "As for the city, it needs to be arranged in advance, and it is best to repair the city to prepare for war at leisure." There is a circumference outside the moat in the city, which is eight steps wide. To prevent the enemy from flooding the city with water, it is necessary to carefully examine the surrounding terrain. In the lower parts of the city, it is ordered to dig channels, and in the lower places, it is ordered to dig deep wells so that they can be connected to each other so that water can leak out. Place 'zewa' in the well to measure the water level. If it is found that the water outside the city is more than one zhang deep, dig a canal inside the city.

Every two boats are connected together as a 'one line', and the boats are made up of a total of 'ten lines', each of which has thirty people, each of whom is good at archery, and four out of every ten people must also have hoes. It is necessary to be good at using this kind of ship as a 'trick' to break away the enemy's embankment, which can also be called a crash. For every twenty boats, thirty brave soldiers were selected to form a combined boat, twenty of whom were each equipped with a hoe and wore armor and leather boots, and the remaining ten men were armed with spears, each of whom was at his disposal. Of course, they provided for the brave in advance, and provided for their houses, and arranged for their parents, wives, and children. When it was found that the embankment could be breached, the outer embankment was broken by using two boats in parallel, and at the same time, the castle hurriedly fired arrows at the enemy with a shooting machine to cover the fleet that broke the embankment.

A 'protruding gate' is set up every 100 steps in the city wall, and a tile-shaped stove is built in each 'protruding gate'. The stove was built four or five feet inside the door. Installing a cover tile on the door allows rainwater to flow into the door, and a military officer is in charge of blocking the door. The method is to tie two wheels with wood, coat them with mud, and hang them with ropes inside the protruding door, so that the wheels are hung four or five feet in the door, according to the width of the door. Set up the kiln, install the epithelial bellows next to the door, and pile up firewood and mugwort leaves in the stove. When the enemy invaded, he lowered the wheels and plugged them, lit the firewood in the stove, stirred up the bellows, and smoked the fire to roast the attacking enemy. ”

Mozi took a short break and cleared his throat, "This method of defending the city needs to be prepared for a rainy day, as a city defender and a monarch, these cannot wait for a war to prepare." ”
