Chapter 388: The Price of Failure
The thick smoke in the city of Qi State reached the sky, the country was destroyed and the title was destroyed.
When Huawen saw the tragic appearance of Qi, he couldn't help but worry about Cao's country. If it weren't for the support of Mo, Cao's country would have ended up being so tragic. Seeing the sea of corpses and blood, Huawen was almost scared. The scene was even more terrifying than a nightmare. Even if he had seen dead people, it was still too shocking to pile up so many broken corpses.
After leaving Qi Country, everyone was in a heavy mood, and the giant ordered camping and resting on the border.
"It's the first time everyone has seen such a tragic scene, and they are all afraid. If the city is broken, we Mo people will probably be sentenced to death by the enemy." The giant sighed. Everyone might not know the consequences of failure before, but Qi and his party reminded Mo people that the next time they failed would be a tragic death.
It is natural to be afraid. Now they think that their victory in Cao State is also very lucky. If the three thousand Chu troops soar and attack the city at any cost, Cao State would not be able to bear it.
The Mohist was scared. He had never thought of a failure before, but now he thought that he could help a small country resist the big country. Under normal circumstances, it would be normal for a small country to be destroyed by a big country.
"It is really unwise for us to be enemies with Chu State as a barbarian country, and the Chu army's tiger and wolf army." The Mo people were determined to retreat.
The giant naturally would not agree. He said: "There are many soldiers not the right one, otherwise how large is the number of Confucian scholars? But when will the world be stable? Only 'either love but not attack' is the general trend of the world. Relying on the strong and bullying the weak, even if there are many soldiers from a great country, they will go against the sky and will inevitably be punished by gods and ghosts. Heaven and earth have spirits, gods and ghosts have eyes, and everything that Chu State does will be recorded by gods and ghosts, and sooner or later will be punished by heaven."
Obviously, the giant was preparing to calm people's hearts by the theory of ghosts and gods. As expected, a few shaken people became much more stable when they listened to ghosts and gods punishing Chu. They did not mention leaving for the time being.
The giant said, "Anyway, everyone should listen to me and believe me. Do whatever I ask you to do, and don't think about it."
The giant opposes "one person, one righteousness, two people, two people, ten people, ten people, and ten people, so he has to be the same. He has to listen to the leader. Anyway, the leader is definitely right, because the leader is performing "either love" for the sake of heaven.
When people's hearts disperse, the team will be difficult to lead. The giants can only use gods and ghosts to gather together.
"I don't know how Qi State was captured." Although Qi State is a small country, it has a long history and is said to be able to trace back to the Xia Dynasty and has a lot of background. However, the only idiom left by Qi State to everyone is Qi and Yun Yao really couldn't think of anything else.
In short, Qi State is not so easy to be compromised.
"The Chu army dug up the tunnel and attacked the city with a surprise attack, opened the city gate, and wiped out the Qi Kingdom in one fell swoop." Just as the giant was confused, a group of people dressed in Taoist priests interjected from outside the temporary fence surrounded by horse-drawn carriages.
The leader is an old Taoist priest with a childish face and a ecstatic appearance, and behind him are a group of little Taoist priests.
The giant stood up and asked, "Who is the noble man?"
"I am Lie Yuko, and my courtesy name is Yun." The old man replied.
"It turned out to be Levitra, who has long been famous." "I am Modi, Modi of the Mo family." The old man opposite turned out to be Liezi, who was a well-known Taoist figure. When the giant saw it, he would respectfully: "Please sit in it."
Liezi brought a group of Taoist priests in slowly and talked to the Mozhe: "You are also from Qi?"
"That's right, Levzi also came from Qi?"
Lie Zi nodded and sighed: "When the Chu army attacked Qi, I was in the city. Originally, Qi Jun had already invited reinforcements from Jin State. As long as he stayed for a few days, he would be worry-free when the reinforcements were reinforcements. However, he did not expect that the Chu army would dig the tunnels and caught them off guard. The city gate fell and the Chu army entered. We could only escape in the chaos and go around like wild animals."
The giant was silent. When discussing defending the city before, he didn't expect this trick. This trick was really hard to defend. He didn't know how to crack it. Even if the Mozhe organized the defense, he could not predict it.
"So that's it." The giant said heavily.
"I heard that you Mozhe blocked the Chu army in Cao State before, is it true?" Lie Zi asked.
"This is indeed the case. We came to Qi Country this time to help Qi support the country." The giant said honestly.
"Fortunately, you didn't enter the city, otherwise you wouldn't be able to escape death." Lie Zi said with lingering fear.
"Even so, we will go. My Mohist family advocates 'uniform love not attack'. Attacking small countries is an unjust war. We defend small countries and block big countries, and we follow the heavens."
Lie Zi couldn't help but glance at the Mozhe beside the giant with a plain look. When his eyes saw Yunyao, he stayed a little. Finally, he continued to talk to the giant about the country of Qi and advised the giant not to show off.
Yun Yao could tell at a glance that Liezi was a monk. No wonder he could escape from the siege of the Chu army. Liezi was also a member of the various schools of thought, and might be able to help him complete his homework.
As a Taoist scholar, Liezi naturally disagrees with the idea of "either love but not attacking". He advocates inaction. What is even more rare is that Liezi is one of the few scholars who can think about the worldview.
The various schools of thought mainly prescribed prescriptions for troubled times to restore peace to the world, so they all advocated it for human society. However, Liezi proposed the birth process of the world, proposed the concept of "transformation", and expanded the idea of "Yi".
Yun Yao is building a robot, maybe Liezi's "transformation" can help.
Juzi and Liezi discussed whether to be active or not. Juzi said, "I heard when I met Confucius, I said: "When I was in charge of nothingness and everything is not done. Therefore, inaction is also for the purpose of being active, but since there is nothingness, how can we act?"
"It turns out from nothing, just like when I was in Qi before, there was a Qi man who was worried that the sky would fall. Do you think this will happen?" Lie Zi asked.
The giant shook his head and said, "I don't think the sky will fall."
Yun Yaoxin said that if Nuwa knew the story of worrying about the sky, she would definitely be angry because her work level was questioned. The sky was repaired by Nuwa. If it collapsed again, wouldn’t Nuwa be held accountable?
Just as Yun Yao was thinking about it, Lie Zi said: "It really won't fall, but Qi Ren is sick. I went to Qi Country because I heard about this, so I wanted to find out. When I arrived in Qi Country, I met the patient. Because I was worried that the sky would fall, he couldn't sleep or eat, and finally got sick. The sky would fall was just an invisible idea, but it turned into a real disease in the end. This is the same as nothing but doing everything. At the beginning, there was nothing, but it gradually evolved into 'everything', so we don't have to do anything specifically. As long as we do nothing, it's good, and the rest will be left to 'transform'."
"Levzi's thoughts are indeed profound, I don't understand. I only know that God wants us to stop the war and to "love both at the same time"..." The giant also told Levzi why he wanted love both at the same time, which was still a property theory.
Mozi would not accept Liezi's inaction, nor would Liezi accept Mozi's inaction. The two of them were quarrels.
At this moment, Yunyao suddenly raised his hand and said, "Lev., I have a problem."
"Who is this?"
The giant said, "Her name is Yunyao, and she is also a Mohist." "She is ingenious and often makes amazing moves. Please forgive me."
Liezi knew that this woman was extraordinary. Her magic power was far above her. She was a fellow Taoist who was even more powerful than her. Since she knew that Yunyao was a fellow Taoist, Liezi naturally had no reason to refuse and said, "What do you want to ask?"
