"I did know that gong lost to the Chu state, but I didn't hear about the Chu state's revival of the Song Dynasty." Zeng Zi said, "That Chu state is strong, and it has to be helped by such a skillful craftsman as if it were a public loser, but if the tiger adds wings, can the Song kingdom have a way to deal with it?" ”
"I don't know yet." Mo Zhai Dao.
"Then what does Uncle Need to do?" Zeng Zi asked.
"The disciples of the Mo Academy rushed to the Song Kingdom, carrying some swords and grain and grass with them, afraid that there would be some trouble when passing through the checkpoint, and wanted to ask Uncle Shi to see if they could get through the customs clearance." Mo Zhai Dao.
"This should be all right, you give me the roster, and I will go to see the Duke." These rosters, Mo Zhai had prepared, handed them to Zeng Zi, Zeng Zi knew that Mo Zhai's time was very tight, and did not say more, "You are waiting here, I will go back." ”
After zengzi finished speaking, and asked people to prepare the car, about an hour later, Zengzi returned and handed a piece of paper to Mo Zhai, "It has been done." Uncle Shi also knows that you are in a hurry, so he will not leave you much, and when this matter is resolved, he will not forget to come to see Uncle Shi again. ”
Mo Zhai took Wen Mu and gave a great gift to Zeng Zi, "Uncle Shi, Mo Zhai has kept it in mind, and when this matter is done, he will personally come to the door to thank him." ”
"My family doesn't need to be so polite!" Zeng Zi said, "When I see your father, I will say hello to him on my behalf." ”
"Yes, I will go back from Qufu and go to Tengzhou to meet my father." Father will be very happy to know that you miss him so much. Mo Zhai said, "Uncle Master, Mo Zhai has resigned." ”
"Good! Go ahead! ”
Bidding farewell to Zengzi, Mo Zhai hurried back to Yishan Mountain, but saw that the carts, horses, grain and grass were ready. "Be more careful on your way, I will go back to Chudu again when I return to Juyang, and I will give you some defensive preparations, and I have taught him a lot of defensive methods." ”
Fu Qiu nodded, "Okay, you yourself should pay more attention, when you enter the Chu Kingdom, you will be like entering the Tiger's Den, so be more careful about everything!" ”
Mo Zhai didn't give a crap, and with a wave of his hand, he got on the carriage and took Tengzhou again.
After such a long rest, the horse also recovered its strength and was much faster. Qufu was still relatively close to Tengzhou, and at noon the next day, it had arrived. Mo Zhai ordered the carriage and horse to rest in Tengzhou and returned to Huishan's home alone. When Jane and Xiren saw that Mo Zhai had suddenly returned, they were very happy, so they asked to spread the food and let their son enjoy it.
Mo Zhai stopped his mother and said, "Bao'er came back this time, but there is something wrong, I'm afraid I can't stay long." ”
Zi Jian listened and looked at Mo Zhai with that wise eye, "But what big thing happened?" It must be extraordinary to be able to make you so anxious, so let's talk about it first! ”
The Greeks stopped busy eating and pulled their sons to sit down.
"Father, there may be a military disaster in the Song Kingdom, and bao'er came back this time to inform you and your mother to take more precautions, and on the other hand, he also wanted to ask something."
"The Song state has a military disaster? With which country? Xi Ren was a little nervous, grabbed Mo Zhai's arm and asked.
Zi Jian looked at Xi Ren, "Don't interrupt, let Mo Zhai continue." "Zi Jian is very calm.
The Greeks quickly closed their mouths.
Mo Zhai looked at his mother apologetically, grabbed her hand, and said, "Mother, but please rest assured, even if there is a military disaster, the child will also find a way to resolve it, so as not to disturb her parents." Then he looked at Zi Jian, "The cause of this military disaster was like the loss of the Duke of Lu, he resigned from Lu to Chu, and was appreciated by the King of Chu, who had this skill, and wanted to cut down the Song to expand his territory." What the child wants to ask is, how is your friendship with your father like a loser? ”
"It is not a matter of friendship that can affect the sword soldiers, and I do not occupy an official position in the court." Zi Jian said, "On friendship, I met him in those years, admired each other's skills, felt sorry for each other, and exchanged many times. After I lived in seclusion here, the news was cut off, if you count, you can count as a former friend. ”
"Based on what his father knows about him, if he helps Chu Guo, what kind of help will he do, or what aspect is he good at?" Mo Zhai asked again.
Zi Jian pondered for a moment, "If we talk about the people in the world who have the most exquisite instruments, I am afraid of losing the public, and the skill of his hands does not dare to say that there is no one after him, but it is indeed unprecedented." He is particularly good at inventing and likes to innovate. It is difficult to say what kind of help he will do. Since as soon as he arrived in the Chu State, the Chu State wanted to raise troops, so I speculated that he might be a siege weapon, and it was likely to be on the side of climbing the city, after all, when attacking the city, the equipment for mass destruction was not of much use. ”
"Well, the father's analysis is very reasonable, and the child has a good idea." Mo Zhai Dao.
After talking to his parents at home for a while, Mo Zhai stood up and said, "Father and mother, the time is not early, the child is also going to leave, and when this matter is over, the child will definitely take his parents to Juyang to live for some time." ”
"Mo Zhai, since there is a war, it is better to send Yu'er and Kihara here, this Huishan is a small place after all, and the war will not necessarily extend here." The Greek said with concern.
"Mother, you are at ease, there is a child, everything is fine!" Mo Zhai said with relief.
Mo Zhai's words were very spiritual, and after listening to his words, the Naxi people really put their minds at ease.
"By the way, I came from Qufu this time, and by the way, I briefly visited Uncle Zengzi, who missed you very much." Mo Zhai Dao.
"When I parted, I never saw it again, just a letter exchange, and when the Song soldiers disappeared this time, you should accompany me to Qufu." Zi Jian sighed a little, "The years are not spared, for a while, they are all this age." ”
"Father, mother, and child are gone, take care of you!" Mo Zhai knelt down and prostrated his head three times, got up and left.
Mo Zhai returned to Tengzhou, found the convoy, got into the car, and rushed to the Song capital Juyang, but this section of the road was not short.
When we arrived near the city of Juyang, there were many places of interrogation around it, and the pedestrians looked nervous, and the swords and soldiers clenched. Looking at this situation, Song Guo also got the news, and at this moment he was in preparation for war.
After an interrogation along the way, Mo Zhai and the others returned to the city, and without waiting for a rest, Mo Zhai went straight to the palace. When Song Gong heard that Mo Zhai had returned, he was overjoyed and anxious to be seen.
When he saw that Mo Zhai had been in the wind and dust all the way, and his clothes had not yet been changed, Song Gong asked with concern, "How did Dr. Mo come back so early, isn't it that Tian Bai's wedding date has not yet arrived?" ”
"Returning to the lord, the subject heard in the state of Qi that Chu would cut me down, so he asked Tian Shangqing to resign and returned early." Mo Zhai replied.
"It's rare that you are so worried about the country, alas, that Chu Guo doesn't know what kind of madness, he has to cut me down, and he also sent someone to send a war book, saying that he wants to ask Ben Gong to try his new equipment, which is really disgusting!"
Mo Zhai's eyes lit up as he heard this, "Lord, what instruments are there in that war book?" ”
Song Gong skimmed his lips, "That Chu King is stingy, this is not revealed." ”
Mo Zhai said, "Although I don't know what this instrument is, it should not be underestimated, that Chu King just lost the Lu Guo Gong, that instrument must have come from his hand." And I juyang, easy to attack and difficult to defend, but I have to be prepared. ”
"Ben Gong has already arranged it, and I think you have already seen it on your way back to the city." Song Gongdao.
"Lord, the subject has three pleases!" Mo Zhai Dao.
"But you say it's okay." Song Gongdao.
"Please, if the subject wants to go to the capital of Chu for a while, he will see the king of Chu and persuade the Chu state to extinguish the war." Second, please entrust the matter of defending the city to the disciple of the courtier, Bird Slippery, who is solely responsible for it, and grant him the right to live and kill. Three please, the disciples of the subjects in Qufu, this time also came to help, with their help, if there is a war, when one enemy ten, please allow them to enter the city to participate in the war. Mo Zhai said.
"Oh? I wonder if you have any way to make the Chu state strike? And that bird slipper can have experience in leading soldiers? Third, please, no problem, someone to help, this is a good thing. Song Gong asked.
"The King of Nachu's current attack on the Song Dynasty was nothing more than the use of a public defeat-like hand, and by the way, he tried the power of the siege equipment, and the subject went to break his siege method. As for Bird Slippery, he was deeply impressed by the non-offensive and defensive methods of the subjects, and had watched the battle of Jinyang and repeatedly deliberated with the ministers, and the ministers believed that with him, the Song Kingdom could be in no danger. "Mo Zhai Dao," and there are more than a hundred and ten people under the subject' door, which has its dispatch, and it is more convenient to use." Combat, only internal unity, can be the most powerful. ”
"What you say makes a lot of sense. We agree! When did you go to chu? Song Gong asked.
"Get ready and go!" Mo Zhai said, "Before I go, I also ask the lord to invite all the courtiers to come, and I will also take the bird slippery to the palace and set the general, so that I can go to the Chu kingdom and act with confidence." ”
Song Gong also acted sharply, so he arranged it. Half an hour later, the main courtiers gathered above the main hall, and Bird Slipper and several of the main disciples also came.
When the Duke of Song said that the matter of the bird slip as a handsome man, he thought it would go well, but he did not want Emperor Sicheng to raise a question, and there were two questions: First, the question was the same as the question of the Duke of Song, which was a good explanation. Second, he was worried that if the People of Mo Zhai Men were to be ill-intentioned, wouldn't they hang everyone on the sword?
Mo Zhai heard this and smiled, "I am a descendant of the Song clan as Lord Sicheng, so why should I turn my elbow outward?" Besides, my wife and children are still in the city, so how can I hang them on a knife? ”
With Mo Zhai's words, the crowd put their minds at ease.
As soon as the Song Gong saw that the people had no objections, he wanted to make The Bird Slippery the Commander of the City. But the bird Slippery took a step forward, performed a courtesy salute, and said, "Lord and slow, Slippery has something to say." ”
Song Gong looked at the bird Slip, "Well, you please say!" ”
Bird Slippery gave another salute, and Fang stood up and said, "Originally, the best handsome seal to defend the city this time was master, but Master still needed to run to the Chu Kingdom, and Slippery had to reluctantly do it." However, the matter of defending the city is not unusual, but it is a matter related to the death of the lord and the people of the city, and if the rules cannot be set and the wartime chaos is in chaos, the subjects may not be able to shoulder this heavy burden. ”
"If you have any rules, just tell me!" Song Gongdao.
"Yes, if Slippery is handsome, the two rules are as follows. First, as soon as the order is issued, from the secretary of state down to the child, it must not be disobeyed, and those who do not obey it will be engaged in military law, and the light will be whipped and killed! Under the order, all will be treated equally! I don't know about all the adults, can you? ”
The courtiers listened and nodded their heads, with no objection.
"Second, in extraordinary times, the property of the royal palace and your lords is also the property of the state, and if there is a need for war, can you take gold and demolish the house for defensive purposes?"
This not only involved the courtiers, but also the palace of the Song Gong.
Song Gong nodded, "If the war really comes to that point, the palace is that the body of ben gong is beneficial to the defense of the city, and it is necessary to take it." The Duke of Song said so, and the courtiers had no objection.
"In this way, Bird Slippery is willing to take over the seal!" Bird slip road.
Mo Zhai looked at the bird slip, his face showed a look of approval, these two rules, it seems that the content is very simple, but it really sets the rules, these two points include the lives of all the people in the city and their own property, with this rule, all the general orders are in it, as long as they do not obey the general's order, they can be drawn to these two points. And the most difficult people are these powerful people, and this rule fixes them.
Seeing that this major event was done, Mo Zhai did not delay, and it was too late to see the bird slip to be knighted, so he asked the Duke of Song for customs clearance, and then withdrew.
From the Song Kingdom juyang to the Chu state of Yingdu for more than 1,500 miles, several waterways, countless mountains and rivers. Mo Zhai had prepared a two-wheeled carriage and two horses, with grain and grass, and an ink knife, and he drove alone to Yingdu.
