When Da Yin heard this, he was overjoyed.

The reaction of the population was not strong, but it was sufficient, and he did not need to get the people to support their coup, he just needed to make the people not oppose their coup.

Why did the Chu people besiege the city? Because Song Gong was rude to Chu. That's a valid reason.

Because the reason makes sense, the Song people feel that they should resent their monarch, after all, there is still Zhou Tianzi in the world at this time, and the whole system, and the reason for the war has lasted for hundreds of years and has become a matter of course.

The Song people have not yet known that they are Song people, they only know that Song Gong is Song Gong.

Therefore, for the siege of the city by the Chu people, the people who grew up under this modern national concept must feel that it seems natural to resist it, and do they need a reason to defend the country?

But at this time, in the eyes of the Song people, there was no reason at all.

What they thought was extremely simple, if it was the problem of Song Gong, then it would be a change of monarch.

As far as these nobles were concerned, they only needed to know that the people did not oppose them, so that they could carry out a coup d'état, thus quickly stabilizing the situation and preventing the Moji from potentially siding with the Song Dukes.

They believed in Mo Zhai's morality, so they were sure that the Mo family would not participate in the coup d'état and civil war during the siege, and could only watch from the wall and do a good job of defending the city.

Da Yin reminded everyone: "Now the dead families need to gather and be ready at any time. ”

"Once the Chu people besiege the city fiercely, the Sicheng Emperor clan will inevitably send their own dead soldiers to the head of the city, and the city will be empty at that time, and it will be possible to do something!"

…………

In the Sicheng Emperor's Mansion, it is suitable for several ink masters to come to visit.

At this time, Shi is no longer the little shoemaker of the past, and in the siege of the city, he has met the Emperor Sicheng.

At this time, the identity is not considered a scholar according to the bloodline, but according to the rest, it is also regarded as a wanderer, plus the Mo family, the largest backstage when guarding the city, can also be regarded as a guest and the host can kneel and sit.

The emperor's father, Zang, knew about the siege of the Chu people today, and praised the ink man's skill in defending the city, and he was really grateful in his heart.

At the beginning, because of the Peidi incident, the emperor's father Yue Ling reminded his father to marry a good inkman.

Because the rebellion against Chu will inevitably bring the Chu people to besiege the city, and holding Shangqiu is the foundation for gaining prestige and waiting for the rescue of the Three Jin Dynasty.

The two sides have been in contact for a long time because of the three pairs of Golden Harvest, and they are not strangers.

Long before the Chu people besieged the city, Emperor Zang had already sent people to Sanjin to ask for help, and he knew that Sanjin would not send troops so quickly.

Even if the Three Jin Dynasty sends troops, they will wait for the Chu people to lose their morale under Shangqiu City, plus Shangqiu is the world's male city, and there are ink people to defend it, so the speed of the Three Jin Dynasty will not be fast.

Today, the Chu people are a hundred feet away without success, and the imperial father Zang is even more convinced of the Mo family's skills in defending the city.

After hearing the emperor's father Zang praise for his skill in defending the city, he said: "Today, the Chu people can't get close to the city wall, and they may not be able to do it tomorrow." Not tomorrow, not necessarily the day after tomorrow. I don't know if Sicheng can know the situation in the world? ”

The imperial father said: "Excuse me? ”

Shi Dao: "The Chu people must get Shangqiu in order to threaten the left wing of the Three Jin Dynasty." And the three Jin marquis, dedicated to the three pairs of Jiahe, the son of heaven, are all the gifts of the city, and the world knows it. Didn't the Chu people know that Sicheng would ask for help from Jin? ”

The emperor's father, Zang Ran, said again: "So will the Chu people wait until the military food is exhausted and morale is low, and then fight with the Sanjin?" ”

Emperor Zang was silent again, and said: "Therefore, the Chu people will definitely attack the city with all their might." If the city is broken, it will be in alliance with Song Gong, and Sicheng also knows that twenty years ago, why did the Chu people come to Huangchi Yongqiu, right? ”

Where can the imperial father Zang not know? Back then, his father was about to drive Song Gong crazy, and Song Gong had no choice but to beg the Chu people to mediate, but the Chu people were defeated by the Three Jins, and Chu Moao thought that his life was a great shame.

Shi said: "At that time, the Chu people and the Song Gong Alliance, is Sicheng still Sicheng?" Wouldn't Chu Moao hold a grudge against this? And you offer Jiahe to Sanjin, are the Chu people willing to let you continue to be Sicheng? ”

Emperor Zang was silent for a long time and said, "Your words are reasonable. The Chu people can't tolerate me. ”

Shi said: "The Chu people are attacking the city with all their might, and the ink people are in order to benefit the world and help the weak country." But for you, defending the city is for you. The ink man happens to defend the city, and you also need to defend the city, so when we defend the city, we have the same interests. Is that the case? ”

Imperial Father Zang nodded yes and bowed: "Your words cannot be refuted." Defending the city is what we all agree on. ”

Shi sighed and said, "I heard that you have many private armor soldiers. If the city is broken, will these dead soldiers of yours be able to protect you from being chased by the Chu people? ”

Where can the imperial father Zang not know what it means, it's nothing more than this time, don't hide it, contribute all your strength, and defend the city first.

He asked: "But today, the Chu people attacked the city, but they did not see results. ”

Shi said solemnly: "There is no effect today, and it may not be possible in the future." Are you proficient in the art of defending the city? For example, when a wolf bites a scalper, it will definitely circle around the ox before it is sure to bite to death, so that it has no physical strength, and will only show its fangs when it can't block it. So, according to your idea, when the wolf is around, it proves that the wolf can't bite the cow? ”

The emperor's father Zang was silent, and said appropriately: "The king of Chu is newly established, if the siege fails this time, how can he sit firmly on the throne of the king of Chu?" In the past, the rebellion of Baigong was especially in front of him, how could the king of Chu dare to fail? Even if Chen and Yangxia starve next year, they will definitely capture Shangqiu. ”

He stood in the perspective of the King of Chu and analyzed the reason why the city must be broken, and the imperial father Zang knew that this was not a lie, and secretly admired the vision of the ink man, and finally talked about the most fundamental problem.

"It's not that I'm hiding the dead soldiers, but that there are a lot of rumors in the city now. Besides, don't the rest of the six Qing have a dead soldier? ”

Shi Wenyan laughed and said, "You still haven't figured it out." Could it be that the rest of the Liuqing would use their own armor and dead soldiers in order to help you wait for the rescue of the Sanjin Army? Even if the ink artist has the benefit of the tongue, he must pay attention to the mutual benefit, and if they are not profitable, how can we say that they are moving? ”

"The Chu people broke the city, the Duke of Song is still the Duke of Song, and the Great Yin is still the Great Yin, but your Sicheng is no longer the Sicheng! Song Gong defended the city, but the Song Gong before and after the city was broken was not the same, but Da Yin was the same before and after the city was broken. ”

Emperor Zang hesitated for a while, and finally said: "But there are a lot of rumors in the city, and there are rumors that I offered Jiahe, which made the Chu people feel betrayed and felt that the Song people were pro-Jin." I'm afraid that these rumors are only told by people with a heart, and there is also the nursery rhyme that was widely circulated three years ago, haven't you heard of it? ”

Shi spread his hands and said: "I heard about it, but what does it have to do with the ink master?" The Mo family giants hoped to help the weak, so they defended Shangqiu, so that the warlike kings of the world would not easily attack weak countries such as Zheng, Song, Lu, and Wei. However, after the city is broken, the ink is still the ink man, and the Chu people are afraid that they will still ask for us. So, what you said has nothing to do with us, so what can we do if we hear about it? ”

Emperor Zang knew that Mo Shi was talking about interests, but he didn't expect to say it so unabashedly, and said helplessly: "I'm just afraid that there will be changes in the city." In the past few days, there have been many rumors that Da Yin, Uncle Gong and other generations have gathered many times. ”

"As you said, I can't be the city for the Chu people to break the city. But if they succeed, I'm afraid I'll have to be killed. In addition to fleeing, the Chu people besieged the city, and they will definitely capture me and return it to Liuqing. ”

Shi smiled, got up and said, "I don't think you cherish life, but only your mansion and these gorgeous lives." Please allow me to leave, I can't talk to you any more. ”

After saying that, he got up and left, this is a common method for scholars at this time, and the imperial father Zang hurriedly said: "Please stay, I am stupid, please advise." ”

Three times in a row, Shi Cai turned around and knelt down and said, "You left your mansion and are near the city wall, so even if you send a soldier to die, are you still worried about your life?" ”

"It's just that they may burn down your mansion and take away your pearl and jade, as long as Shangqiu City is here, as long as they wait for the reinforcements of the Three Jin Dynasty, they can't take away your position as the city."

The emperor's father Zang suddenly said: "Could it be that the ink master promised to protect my life?" ”

Shi said with a smile: "The ink man guards the city, will he participate in the disputes of the princes and nobles?" ”

Emperor Zang shook his head and said, "The ink is neutral and never participates. ”

Shi said again: "Could it be that Gong Song hired me and other giants as doctors?" ”

"No, Mr. Mo Zhai was invited to guard the city, and it is not the responsibility of the doctor."

"In this case, the Moshi will not help you fight a coup d'état with them, but as long as you let the private servants of the armor help defend the city, we can protect your life." You must know that your victory or defeat will not be in the city, but in the walls. ”

"The city wall is here, and the three Jin soldiers may arrive. If the walls are not there, even if you are alive, then what are you left of? ”

Emperor Zang thanked him and said, "That's the truth, please allow me to go to the city tomorrow to defend together." I believe in the words of the Mo, and there is no need for an oath. ”

Shi returned the courtesy: "Although you did this for yourself, after all, you still helped us to benefit the world and help the weak." This is what the giant likes. ”

The two said a few more words, and then left.

After Shi left, the imperial father Zang asked the imperial father Yue Ling, who was on the side, "What do you think?" ”

The emperor's father, Yue Ling, thought for a while and said: "Mo Zhai's skills in defending the city are unparalleled, and it is not wrong to say that the Chu people must capture Shangqiu no matter what. King Xinli of Chu, this is the first time to send troops, and he cannot fail. That being the case, I am afraid that Mo Zhai had expected that the Chu people would hurriedly attack the city with all their might, and it would be difficult to defend the city, so he asked us to belong to the dead. ”

Imperial Father Zang frowned and said, "Is it to such a point?" ”

The emperor's father, Yue Ling, said with a smile: "It's not, it's just that Mo Zhai defends the city and takes attack as defense, they need the dead soldiers to go out of the city to attack and harass, and slack off the Chu people, so they need the dead soldiers we are waiting for." It's not that all the dead have to be stationed at the head of the city. ”

Only then did the emperor's father Zang understand, and the emperor's father, Yue Ling, said: "I have also heard of some methods of ink masters to defend the city, and when the enemy is slack, they can counterattack with the daring soldiers, which can often make the enemy unable to besiege for several days. They didn't just defend the city walls. ”

Emperor Zang gritted his teeth and said: "But everyone in the ink is dead, are they not as good as our dead soldiers?" If I have 300 inkers, I'm afraid that something big will happen sooner! ”

The emperor's father, Yue Ling, smiled bitterly: "The ink is not the Song people, just now Shi also said: the city is broken, the ink is worry-free, and the Chu people will also treat the ink well, in case it will be useful in the future." Are they going to let the ink goers disappear here? There are few ink scholars, and if one dies, there will be one less, and all of them will die in Shangqiu, can it benefit the world? Can't they tell the difference? After all, what the defenders of the city want is to benefit the world and scare the warlike king; As for us, it is a matter of life and death. ”

Emperor Zang sighed and said, "In this case, tomorrow we will count all the private families of the dead soldiers, and all of them will be assigned by Mo Zhai!" ”

The emperor's father, Yue Ling, persuaded again: "No, there are many rumors in the city, and we still need to keep some people......"

The emperor's father said: "Since the ink man said to protect us thoroughly, who in the world does not believe in their promises?" Don't say that we are the kings of Chu, Wei, Qi and Qin, and we will believe it. ”

The imperial father Yue Ling pointed in the direction of the palace and said, "Leave some, not to protect us, but to protect the monarch." ”

"If there is a king, there will be a city. Zitian was helped up by our family. Back then, when Bai Gong was in turmoil, Mo Zhai commented that the son who gave up the throne of the king of Chu was not benevolent and unrighteous, would they care about changing the monarch? They won't protect the monarch, and when the time comes, the monarch will be changed, but I'm afraid that even if the three Jin soldiers arrive, the position of the city will not be yours. ”
