Juding, the name of the lake, is the predecessor of Qingshuibo in the northeast of Guangrao, Shandong. In this era it was a very large lake, no smaller than Taihu Lake. According to the geographical location, Zishui is divided into South Zishui and North Zishui, which originates in Yishan, flows to the northeast and eventually flows into Juding Lake for South Zishui, and flows out of Juding Lake and finally flows into the Bohai Sea for North Zishui. In addition to Nanzi water, rivers such as Nushui, Turbidity Water, Shishui, Amniotic Water, and Jufu Water all flow into Juding Lake.

The waters of Juding Lake are wide, and the water waves are in the sky, which can be described as a temporary scene. However, the lake is not too deep, and most places cannot carry large boats, and in the spring and autumn dry season, most of the lake bottom will be exposed, which is the main reason why Yuan Tan did not set up a naval army here. Although the boat ride like Jiang Yiqu is not small, the draft is only five feet, which is not too deep, so that most areas of the lake can travel freely and unimpeded.

There are abundant products here, such as fish, shrimp, crab shellfish, water chestnut, water chestnut, etc. The scenery here is beautiful, with reeds and iris growing on the lakeside, and from time to time a flock of wild ducks or an egret quacks and flies into the distance. There are many wild lotus roots growing in the lake, and it is the height of summer, when the lotus flowers are in full bloom, and from time to time fish jump out of the water or swim among the aquatic plants, the scenery is really nostalgic.

Such a beautiful scenery didn't care very much about a man in the army like Jiang Yiqu, not to mention that now that he heard the amazing news, he didn't have the slightest desire to appreciate it. He turned his head to look at Duff with a look of surprise on his face, and exclaimed, "What did you say? ”

Du Fu smiled calmly, glanced at him, and then looked at a group of rain swimming in the bow of the boat in the lake, and said: "Du Mou's assassination of Tian Fan was blocked by his swordsmen, and unfortunately failed, only stabbing him. But my sword stabbed him in the chest, and it was so badly wounded that he should not live long. Later, I took advantage of the chaos to escape, and secretly observed the movements of the Xuzhou army, they hurriedly retreated but did not dare to hurry too fast, only retreated for two days and stopped, so I estimate that Tian Fan's injuries should be aggravated, maybe...... He's dead! ”

Jiang Yiqu listened to Du Fu's explanation, and then compared it with his own understanding, he felt more and more that what he said was good, and he couldn't help but be excited, and he said, "Why did you want to kill Tian Fan? He believed that Du Fu had such ability, and his scouts would not be able to break through the tight defense of the Xuzhou army, but a chivalrous man like Du Fu could do it. The point is, why? Why did Duff kill Tian Fan? What is the festival between them?

Du Fu smiled and said in a low voice: "I am the heir of the Mo family!" ”

When this sentence came out, Jiang Yiqu completely believed it.

The founder of the Mo family was Mo Zhai, who was called Mozi by later generations. Mozi founded Moism in the Spring and Autumn Period, and existed as an academic sect with political beliefs, known as the Four Great Scholars along with Legalism, Confucianism, and Taoism. The Mohists advocated both love and non-aggression, and opposed wars between princes. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Mohists often interfered in conquests between princes, the most famous example of which was the various actions made by the Gongyi Ban and Mozi during the Chu-Song War, and sometimes even sent Mojia chivalrous guests, that is, political heroes to coerce by force. There was a time when the Mo family politicians came out, and the princes of the world were shaken, and many small princes trembled and trembled when they faced the Mo family rulers.

After the death of Mozi, the Mohist family split into three factions, and in the late Warring States period, it gradually merged into two factions, one focusing on the study of epistemology, logic, mathematics, optics, mechanics and other disciplines, which is called "Mojia post-learning", and the other was transformed into a ranger in Qin and Han society. During this period, the influence of the Mo family had shrunk a lot, and it was already small compared to the other three.

Mozi's ideas have no market in our country, which yearns for monarchical dictatorship, and after the unification of the Qin Dynasty, we only know that Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, in fact, he also took some suppressive measures against the Mo family. Since then, the Mo family has fallen into a slump, but it has not disappeared.

After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the Huang Lao doctrine was first followed, and then Confucianism was exalted, and the knowledge studied by the Mohists, such as optics, mechanics, logic, etc., has been suppressed and is considered heresy. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu's suppression of Haoqiang even pushed the Mo family chivalrous faction into the abyss. Since then, the Mo family seems to have disappeared without a trace, but many things that have happened over the centuries are considered by many to have the legacy of the Mo family. Especially the rebellion of Wang Mang, some people think that Wang Mang's rebellion was promoted by the Mo family.

Although the righteous deeds of the Mo family chivalrous man who are "anxious for what people are anxious about" are not liked by the emperor and generals, they are very popular with the common people. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty sometimes has a ranger drama Meng, with the patron of the businessman, no matter who is in trouble, ask for help, even if it is the middle of the night, "there must be a request, a request must be answered, words must be done, and a line must be fruitful", famous all over the world, when his mother died, Shishu "sent a thousand funeral cars", and when he passed away, the family was not worth ten gold. In the historical book "Historical Records", which is famous for its fairness, Taishi Gong spoke highly of them, "Today's rangers, although their deeds are not in the course of justice, but their words must be believed, their deeds must be fruitful, they have promised to be sincere, they do not love their bodies, and they will go to the misfortune and hardship of the soldiers."

The emperors did not like them because they were unruly, difficult to manage, and capable of rebelling against their rule. As Han Feizi said, "chivalry violates the ban with martial arts", and the "ban" here naturally refers to the rules designated by the emperor and the general. And for the sake of others, the Mojia ranger can not love his body, for the benefit of the world, he puts his heels on his head, from head to toe, there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed. They are capable, influential, loved by the people, and can respond to every call, but they are not of the same mind as the emperors and generals, and they are not used to many of their practices, so it is naturally difficult to be loved by them. They are inherently alien and are the object of repression.

Tian Fan created a massacre in Pingshou, and tens of thousands of people died tragically, this kind of assassination as a summoning Mojia ranger is not incomprehensible.

However, Duff said that he is from the Mo family, and he is from the Mo family? Thinking about this question, Jiang Yiqu looked at Du Fu inquiringly.

As if knowing what Jiang Yiqu was thinking, Du Fu took out a small card and handed it to him.

This is a black token, non-gold and non-iron, lighter than iron, not like metal but like jade, but can be struck with the sound of gold and stone. There are two words carved on it, Jiang Yiqu doesn't know it, but this thing is definitely not a popular thing now, and the patterns on it are quite ancient. Jiang Yiqu thought for a while and said: "This matter is very important, Jiang doesn't dare to be specialized, so please ask the eldest son!" ”

Duff nodded indifferently and said, "Okay, whatever you want!" You can rest assured, I will not leave until this matter is completed, and I will follow you to attack the army in Xuzhou. Of course, I won't kill people myself, Mo has his own self-esteem, and we don't kill nobodies. I just want to watch this evil army fall, so that I can give an explanation to the tens of thousands of innocent people who were slaughtered in Pingshou. However, I can help you find out the news and see the layout of the camp in Xuzhou, which should help you in your attack. ”

Jiang Yiqu nodded and ordered the ship to return.

In Yuan Tan's study, Yuan Tan, Liu Xian, Jiang Yiqu, Wang Zhao and others sat around the bookcase, and the small black token was passed from one person to another, and finally fell into Liu Xian's hand.

Liu Xian carefully studied the token over and over again, and was speechless for a long time.

Yuan Tan was a little anxious and said, "Mr. Liu, is this thing real or fake?" ”

Liu Xian frowned and said, "It's hard to say!" Looking at the carved patterns on this object, it is not a common pattern of my Han Dynasty, but it really looks like something from the Spring and Autumn Period. Well, I have a few bronze artifacts from that time at home, which are very similar to the patterns on them. Also, the two words on this are indeed the word 'giant' of the big seal, but I have never seen this material, but it doesn't look like it's fake. It's just that none of us have seen the Mo family's giant order, who is sure that this thing is real? ”

Yuan Tan was also a little anxious, but if what Du Fu said was true, the temptation was too great, and he really couldn't bear to give up like this. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "What Mr. Liu means is that this thing is very likely to be true, so what Duff said is likely to be true." No matter what, anyway, we were planning to sneak attack, as long as we are careful enough, it is a big deal to return in vain, and we will not suffer too much loss! ”

Jiang Yiqu nodded and said, "Eldest son, what should I do with Zhang Junyi?" ”

Yuan Tan frowned and said, "He doesn't believe it!" He was a father's favorite general, and I couldn't force him to go to war. I think he will be in charge of the queen of the palace, and if there is an accident, he can also take care of us! ”
