Who would have thought that the leader of the world-famous Mohist family would be such a young girl?
Huo Yi's eyes widened when he saw it, while Huo Jun's face was full of disbelief as he listened to Kuai Yue's respectful words.
"It's not for his own reasons that Yue is here. He just wants to ask Miss Pingting for help to solve the crisis in Jiangling and the crisis in Chu State."
"My lord, you are just joking. How can Pingting be so capable, even if she is just a slut?"
The girl in red rejected Kuai Yue very coldly without thinking, turned her head and continued to consider herself.
Huo Yi's face turned red. He didn't think much about it before, but now he found out that the rich man of the Mo family was actually a girl. He thought that he and his father were two tall men. However, as Kuai asked a delicate woman for help more and more, he couldn't help but feel a lot of embarrassment in his heart. At the same time, he was a little annoyed by the girl's indifference to the country's crisis.
Unlike Huo Yi, Kuai Yue heard and thought of more things. The girl was not surprised at her astonishing words. Does it mean that the Mo family has received the news? The huge machine called "Mo family" is still running silently.
Kuai Yue kept thinking in his mind, with a disappointed look on his face, shaking his head and sighing.
"At the age of 29, Mozi went to Chu alone and made Chu give up his plan to attack Song. What kind of courage is this? This is the courage of the sages to put into practice their opposition to unjust wars and the sacrifice of innocent lives! After hundreds of years, have today’s Mo family become afraid of death?”
Just when Huo Jun and Huo Yi were slightly absent-minded, they did not expect that the Mo family had such an allusion, but the courtyard of the Mo family exploded.
"This boy is so brave. He dares to humiliate us in the Mo family who are greedy for life and afraid of death!"
"Boy! Don't think that you are so great because you are the governor of Jiangling. If you dare to insult our Mo family, I will kill you today."
In the noise, many big men gathered around aggressively. Fortunately, the doorman did not take away everyone's swords when they entered. Huo Jun and Huo Yi nervously pressed the hilts of their swords to protect Kuai Yue and became vigilant.
At this time, everyone only heard a chuckle. Looking up, the girl in red smiled. Her smile was beautiful and fascinating.
After a long time, Pingting stopped laughing, put the moonlight cup aside, turned around and looked at Kuai Yue for the first time and said.
"Nowadays, Chu State is fighting everywhere. Sun Ce, the king of Chu, defeated the princes in Jiangdong and captured Jingzhou. He failed to attack Wei State in the first spring of this year. After being defeated, he came back to attack Xu Han. You are so aggressive and aggressive. You, the Confucian leader of Jingchu, are running away from me. Doesn't Mr. Kuai find it ridiculous that the Mohists come to discuss 'non-offensive'?"
Seeing that Juzi had no intention of taking down Kuai Yue, everyone in the Mo family could only reluctantly go back and sit down, glaring at Kuai Yue fiercely.
The two warriors Huo Jun and Huo Yi could clearly feel the tremendous pressure, but Kuai Yue smiled nonchalantly and saluted Pingting seriously before Fang continued.
"Why would a person be blamed and punished if he stole someone else's peaches or plums? This is because he benefited himself at the expense of others, which is unjust. If he stole someone else's cattle and sheep, the accusation and punishment would be even greater. , why is this? Because this is a greater injustice. Then why does the king sacrifice the lives of his soldiers and the affected people in order to satisfy his greed, but no one blames him? "
"Mozi condemned such atrocities."
"Now, why did Liu Zhang, King of Shu, attack Jingzhou? Could it be that he, Liu Zhang, also has the ambition to pacify the world and restore peace to the people? Hahaha~~"
Kuai Yue laughed contemptuously, shook his head, looked around at the Mohist knights and asked.
"It's just that he saw that the hinterland of the Chu Kingdom was empty and coveted the prosperity of Jingzhou. Back then, Mozi risked his life to prevent such an unjust war. Now the Mo family's residence is located on the outskirts of Jiangling, but he just sits back and watches such atrocities happening in front of his eyes and remains indifferent?"
The white scholar who had previously led the way for Kuai Yue and others and had been standing motionless in the corner said at this time.
"No matter how eloquent you are, you can't change the fact that Sun Ce, the king of Chu, went on an expedition and plunged Xuzhou into a war. Mr. Kuai came to ask us to help retreat the enemy. It would be better to persuade the king of Chu to retreat. The three kingdoms of Chu, Han and Shu will be in peace. Wouldn’t it be better?”
This may also be one of the ways to solve the problem. As long as the Chu State withdraws its troops in time, even if Jiangling City cannot be defended, Kuai Yue believes that with the ability of Zhou Yu and Ji Shu, it will not be a problem to rebuild the front line and regain the lost territory.
The real question is what to do about Xuzhou?
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted. Once the troops retreat, Chu's morale will inevitably plummet, and Xu Han will be able to catch his breath, allowing Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo to have no time to take care of Chu Han's opportunity for the decisive battle. After that, it will definitely take more than three years to conquer Xuzhou.
Kuai Yue looked at the scholar and said seriously.
"Brother, what you said is wrong. Throughout ancient history, Duke Xiao of Qin was the most far-sighted. The Qin State went through six generations of reforms until Qin Shihuang unified the world. Only then did the Han Dynasty enjoy four hundred years of peace. Could it be that these four hundred years of peace were Isn’t it far better than the five hundred years of mutual conquest during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods? Today’s world needs a wise king to reorganize the country.”
"My king has great talents and great strategies. He takes it as his own duty to help the world and quell wars. He appoints virtuous people in the land he governs, and the people are loyal to him. All his soldiers are willing to die for him. How can I be compared to Liu Zhang and his like? Furthermore, how can my king be unjust? The battle? The six counties in Jiangdong were originally the fiefdom of Marquis Wucheng, and our king only took it as a son to inherit his father's inheritance. This is one of them; the former lord Liu Biao ambushed Jiangxia and killed Sun Jian. The two families have a deep hatred as deep as the sea and are sworn in. There is also What can be said, this is the second reason; the Northern Expedition to Cao Wei was started because the Wei State sent troops to attack Xu Han, and our king sent troops to help in accordance with the Chu-Han treaty. This is the third reason; as for the further attack on Xuzhou, it was because Xu Han betrayed the alliance. This is the fourth reason why hundreds of thousands of our Chu soldiers died in a foreign land without any explanation. May I ask you Mohist brothers, in which of the battles did my king, Sun Ce, act unkindly and unjustly?"
Huo Jun and Huo Yi secretly cheered, Kuai Yue's righteous words made everyone in the Mohist family speechless and looked at each other in confusion, which made people happy.
"Sir, what you said is reasonable. Pingting's previous statement that the King of Chu was aggressive in military affairs was superficial."
With a sigh and unceremonious self-deprecation, everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to the girl again, only to hear Pingting continue to speak expressionlessly.
"Cao Cao practices the kingly way, Liu Bei practices the benevolent way, but I don't understand Sun Ce. I wonder if Mr. Kuai can explain it to me?"
"My king is practicing the way of heaven."
"••••••What is the way of heaven?"
"The alternation of day and night, the change of seasons, the growth of grass and the flight of orioles, follow the laws of the growth of all things. This is the way of heaven. My king is considerate of all people, rewards farming, fertility, develops commerce, and promotes the circulation of goods. Each place makes up for its shortcomings, and the people have no worries about food and clothing. Alien races must be surrendered, treated equally, and peace within the sea be restored. If this is not the way of heaven, what is it?”
Pingting paused slightly and said.
"With a 'pleader' like Mr. Kuai, it would be a pity for Pingting that the King of Chu would not stay by his side to listen to him."
"Miss Pingting is so complimentary."
Seeing that Pingting had finished asking, Kuai Yue bowed his hands humbly and said no more.
He has done what needs to be done and said what needs to be said. The rest will be decided after discussion by everyone in the Mo family. And this decision came much faster than he imagined.
I saw Pingting standing up on the roof, her sleeves like clouds dancing in the wind. The girl looked down at the people in the courtyard and spoke.
"Whether Sun Ce is a wise king or a tyrant, I will decide from now on. This time, I have decided to help Jiangling defeat the enemy. Which of you brothers is willing to go with me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the Mo family stood up, clasped their fists, and looked at Pingting eagerly before bowing their heads.
"I am willing to go with the giant!"
No matter what the reward is, live for righteousness and die for righteousness, this is the Mohist.
While Kuai Yue felt relieved, he also felt a little surprised. Even he did not expect that the girl had such prestige in the Mo family. Is this just because she inherited the position of the giant? He stared at Pingting, lost in thought.
