Chapter 172: Qin Mo
At the head of Yangcheng City, Heifu walked behind with a few soldiers, and in front of him was Tang Fuzi, a middle-aged man who called himself "Qin Mo", he was about forty, dressed in cloth clothes, but his demeanor was very elegant, and he also had two young disciples.
One is called Cheng Shang, who is about thirty years old, and he is silent, but he holds a ruler in his hand, and before going up to the city, he visually measures the height of the city wall, and when he arrives at the head of the city, he is measuring the distance between the battlements. The other is called Tang Duo, who is in his twenties, has a temperament, and asks this and that when he goes up the city wall.
"Master Tang, is this what you once said to us, the giant Meng Sheng guards the Yangcheng for the Yangcheng monarch?"
Tang Fuzi held the battlements and looked down, and said with emotion: "It is here that Meng Sheng, the giant of the Mo family, and Yangchengjun of Chu were kind to each other, and the two were also teachers, friends, and ministers, and Yangchengjun even handed over the fief to Meng Sheng, which was consistent with his destruction of Yuhuang, so that he guarded this place." Meng Sheng took the Mo family to take this as a place to live, so the elite of the Mo family gathered in Yangcheng. ”
Another disciple, Cheng Shang, also answered at this time: "Indeed, I measured it with a ruler, and the Yang city wall has traces of the Mo family's city building technique, and it is higher and thicker than the general county city wall, which may have been built by the Mo people at that time." ”
Tang Fuzi nodded: "It's a pity that there is this wall, still outnumbered, and later Wu Qi's incident, Yangcheng Jun was implicated, he fled to another country, King Jing sent people to take back Yangcheng, but because there is no token Yuhuang, Meng Sheng does not want to open the door." King Jing sent troops to besiege Yangcheng, and Meng Sheng kept his promise to Yangcheng Jun and defended this city, with the result that a total of 180 ink scholars died with him......"
Tang Duo exclaimed: "Magnificent ......"
Cheng Shang interrupted on the side: "Meng Sheng for his own personal friendship with Yangchengjun, even the elite of the ink artist went to die with him, how can he be strong?" ”
Tang Duo retorted: "Cheng Shang, the giant Meng Shengxing is the righteousness of the ink man, he thinks that his relationship with Yangcheng Jun is not shallow, if he does not die, I am afraid that no one will trust the ink man in the future, and take the ink man as a teacher, a friend, and a minister." ”
Cheng Shang sneered again: "This is a misinterpretation, the righteousness of the ink man is to sacrifice his life for the survival of a city and a pool, a monarch and a marquis?" The righteousness on the Ink Book is obviously the righteousness of benefiting the world! Meng Sheng sacrificed great righteousness for the sake of small righteousness, and after this incident, the Mo family declined! ”
Tang Duo was so angry that his face turned red: "If you can't keep small righteousness, how can you do great righteousness?" Besides, who said that the Mo family has declined, aren't we still there now? Meng Sheng passed on Tian Xiangzi, Tian Xiangzi passed on the belly, and the belly entered Yu Qin, which gave rise to our Qin Mo...... It is precisely because of the difficulty of the giant Meng Sheng's death in Yangcheng that all the princes believe in Mo, and the Mo family is a scholar! ”
The two disciples quarreled there, Tang Fuzi was a little embarrassed, and after letting the two of them be quiet, he turned back to Heifu and said, "Thank you for taking us to the city to have a look, the disciples are not harmonious, so that the hundred generals will laugh." ”
"How dare you."
Heifu returned the courtesy, because this Tang Master is said to be well-known in Xianyang, but even Li You has to respect three points of character, and specially arranged for Heifu to take three people to the city.
After listening to the past of the Moshi mentioned by the three of them, Heifu felt a little, and then said: "Actually, I have been stationed in Yangcheng for two months, but the matter of Meng Sheng is the first time I have heard that the local people have forgotten about the Moshi guarding the city here......"
Mr. Tang disagreed: "The people are forgetful, after all, it was a hundred and fifty years ago, and it has been six or seven generations......
"Is it because it's been too long?"
Heifu smiled, shook his head and said: "Otherwise, in the autumn harvest last month, when I was chatting with the old farmers in the field, I learned that two hundred years ago, a certain Yangcheng Jun's ruler built a canal for the people in the local area, and the canal is still in use today, irrigating dozens of hectares of land. The people also built a small temple for Nayi, and worshiped it every year. Dare to ask you, why can the people remember Xiaoyi Zai more than 200 years ago, but forget the Mo family giant more than 100 years ago? ”
"It's not that Meng Sheng's righteousness is not as good as that of the Yizai, but because Meng Sheng's righteousness has never benefited the local Li people, so although more than 100 people died, they were famous all over the world, and the princes were strangled by it, but they would not leave too much impression on the local people, and at most two or three generations, they would forget it."
Tang Duo was a little unhappy, but Cheng Shang nodded in agreement: "What the hundred generals said is right, this is the difference between the small righteousness and the great righteousness I said." ”
Tang Fuzi Xiao looked at Heifu with interest, and began not to use him as a background board, but talked to him, and after the two chatted, Heifu knew that it turned out that Wang Ben broke the battle of Daliang, and Tang Fuzi was also in the army.
"Fortunately, relying on Mr. Zheng Guo's dam water attack, the girder was broken, and Qin Mo didn't need to participate."
Listening to Mr. Tang's tone, he didn't seem to like war, which made Heifu even more curious, and finally couldn't hold back, and asked: "Mr. Tang, I have also heard of the name of the Mo family, but I only know that the Mo family advocates both love and non-attack, helping the weak and resisting the strong, but I never thought that you would appear in the Qin army......
Heifu really didn't expect that the Mo family would become the allies of the "Violent Qin", and if they stood on the opposite side of the Qin army, there would be nothing surprising about it.
This question was asked sharply, Mr. Tang was a little clueless about how to answer for a while, and then Cheng Shang answered: "Baijiang is really unheard, the kind of ink you are talking about is Chu Mo who inherited Meng Sheng's ambition, this group of people boast of morality, like to be ascetics, and act chivalrous and righteous as chivalrous, they oppose the wars of various countries, and think that wars are unjust, such ink people have disappeared for many years. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at his junior brother Tang Duo.
"In addition, there is Qi Mo, the faction is mainly engaged in academic debate, traveling to various countries, lobbying the king not to annex land, and there are only one or two such ink writers left, hiding in Qi country, and studying those useless name arguments every day."
Cheng Shang explained, and Heifu knew that Qin Mo was one of the three schools of the Mo family in the world, and had taken root in the Qin State for more than 100 years, and contributed to the rise of the Qin State, but he didn't say how Qin Mo's concept was different from that Chu Mo and Qi Mo.
Now that the Qin State is in power by the Legalists, Qin Mo is gradually marginalized, but there is still some influence, they have provided a lot of help for the production of the Qin State's armament, and in the event of a major war, the general will even bring a few with him to give a strategy for the siege of the city, and renovate those complex siege equipment.
"I see, it's my ignorance."
Heifu smiled and apologized, the three Qin Mo had met him for the first time, and he didn't want to say too much, so he went down the city wall immediately.
That night, Mr. Tang and Tang Duo said goodbye to Li You, and they were going to continue to follow the Qin army to Shangcai, and Cheng Shang, who usually had a stinky face, was left behind, and he was ordered to obey Li You's dispatch, and in case of siege, he could also provide some advice.
In my impression, the ink man, who was famous for defending the city, now took the initiative to go to the battlefield and give advice to the besieging Qin army, which made Heifu feel a little ridiculous.
But before he could think too much, on the third day of Qin Mo's arrival in Yangcheng, another military order was issued, and the main general Li Xin ordered five thousand Qin troops in Yangcheng to start immediately!
After restoring morale, Li You ordered the soldiers of Nanjun to be strong, and had been preparing for a long time, and now as soon as the military order arrived, he immediately summoned the left, center, and right five leading military officials, leaving only 500 people to defend the city, and 500 people escorted the heavy grain and straw together with the local conscripted people, and the remaining 4,000 were all set off early the next morning!
As a short guard, Heifu and the others naturally had to surround the Commander Li You, and thousands of people marched south along the gurgling Yingshui, and the soldiers pointed directly at Chu Guodun County, which was hundreds of miles away......
Heifu knows that this war has officially begun!
