The fire in Xianyang City has been put out, and the people have returned to the city one after another.
The Mohist assassins on the banks of the Jingshui River were also encircled and suppressed by the Qin army led by Zhao Hao, and fought to the death.
Behind them, there was the overwhelming Qin army, and the surging heads seemed to be bordering the sky, like a tide of locusts.
As Mo Xuan led the people to retreat, he looked back and was frightened by the spectacular sight. His pretty face turned pale.
"Qin Qin's army is catching up."
She glanced at Mo Feng, who was riding a horse beside her, and said anxiously: "Elder brother, the Qin army is only a few dozen feet away from us. I'm worried."
"Why are you panicking!?" Mo Feng shouted coldly and said with a stern face: "With Mo Yu and Mo Nan here, they should be able to resist for a while. As long as they escape into Jiujun Mountain, no matter how many Qin troops are there, it will be useless!"
"Really?" Mo Ku asked with wide eyes.
Mo Feng ignored him and just sighed silently.
He was the leader of this assassination operation. If he could not bring back most of these brothers and sisters, he would probably be severely reprimanded by his master and even use Mohist laws.
He looked back at the Mo family disciples behind him and saw that several young Mo family teenagers were obviously about to fall behind the evacuation team. He immediately said to Mo Xuan: "Junior sister Mo Xuan, you go protect the junior brothers, I will lead the way from the front!"
"Elder brother, I'd better go," Mo Ku saw that Mo Xuan was injured and quickly asked Mo Feng.
Mo Feng turned to glare at him and shouted, "This is an order! I'll ask you to treat the wounded later!"
"I"
Mo Ku opened his mouth and was about to speak again when he heard Mo Xuandao: "Senior Brother Mo Ku, I'm fine, just let me go. I'm more familiar with this place than you are."
After saying that, he immediately picked up his sword and rushed towards the back.
Not long after, someone reminded Mo Feng again: "Elder brother, the Qin army is catching up again!"
what happened?
Why did you catch up so quickly?
Mo Feng glanced back in surprise, his pupils shrinking sharply.
It turns out that Mo Nan's side has been wiped out by the Qin army. Now it is Mo Yu who leads the Humen swordsmen to resist the Qin army. Although the Humen swordsmen are all brave, they cannot withstand the large number of Qin soldiers.
Moreover, the Qin army wore iron armor, while the Humen swordsmen mostly wore leather armor or even rattan armor. After a period of fighting, most of the Humen swordsmen were killed or injured. It is no wonder that the Qin army broke through the defense line and followed them.
Thinking of this, Mo Feng quickly ordered: "Let all disciples travel lightly, throw away everything except dry food, and speed up into the mountains!"
Mo Ku frowned when he heard this and said hesitantly: "Elder brother, there are some essential things in our Mo family that we cannot throw away. It is against the law."
"Stop talking nonsense! Understand the urgency of the situation, do you understand? Those necessary things can be remade, but the most important thing now is to survive! Survive, do you understand? Throw it away!"
"yes!"
Although Mo Ku was scolded by Mo Feng, he still admired him in his heart.
It was obvious that he recognized Mo Feng's statement that "survival is the most important thing."
After all, when a person dies, there is nothing.
As soon as Mo Feng gave an order, the Mo family disciples threw away their luggage, wooden boxes on their backs, and heavy iron shields, swords and guns.
At this time, the Qin army behind was very lively. You know, some of the Mo family's equipment was rare even for them, so they all grabbed the equipment that the Mo family threw on the ground.
The generals of the Qin army who saw this scene did not scold them, because Jiujun Mountain had already ambushed them, and now they were just chasing rabbits into the cage.
Fortunately, the Qin army was well-trained. Even if they looted the equipment thrown by the Mo family on the ground, there was no fight due to the looting.
After chasing for a while, Mo Feng led the children of the Mo family and finally entered Jiujun Mountain.
"Now, it looks like I can survive."
Mo Feng looked back with joy on his face and subconsciously looked behind him.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
It turned out that the Qin army that had been chasing after them ran to the foot of the mountain and stopped moving.
"Damn it! We must have been ambushed!"
Recalling that the Qin troops behind them deliberately delayed their pursuit for the Mo family's equipment on the ground, Mo Feng's face suddenly became very ugly.
If the Qin army really set up an ambush in Jiujun Mountain, then even if they fled into Jiujun Mountain, it would be of no use.
On the contrary, I feel like I have fallen into a trap!
"Elder brother, why don't you leave!?"
Mo Ku couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw Mo Feng froze on the spot, and quickly stepped forward to urge him.
Mo Feng sighed secretly, not knowing what to say, so he could only rush away.
Even if there is a dead end ahead, he can't turn back.
At the same time, on Jiujun Mountain, Zhao Hao was quietly looking at the foot of the mountain.
Gong Ziliang glanced at Zhao Hao with a strange look, because he suddenly remembered that a few months ago, this little brother was still a transparent person that no one cared about, but now he was out of control and beyond reach.
Could it be said that he is the future of Great Qin? Then why didn't the father focus on training him?
Young Master Liang had a look of confusion on his face.
Soon, a messenger came from a distance and said to Zhao Hao and Zhao Hao: "I would like to inform you two young masters that the Mohist assassins have entered the mountain and were surrounded by the Xianyang Order and his troops. The Xianyang Order asked the two young masters what should be done. Disposal?"
"Do you still need to ask for permission?"
Gong Ziliang frowned and said amusedly: "Everyone is surrounded by us, so of course we will kill them without mercy!"
"this"
The messenger hesitated, then turned to look at Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao pondered for a moment, turned around slowly, looked at Gong Ziliang, and said calmly: "Brother Ninth, have you ever read the art of war?"
"What art of war?"
Gong Ziliang was stunned for a moment when he was asked, and thought to himself: What am I doing reading that stuff? Our Qin army is very fierce. They can outflank here, attack there, and ambush from behind. It's all right.
"Sun Tzu said in the Art of War: When an enemy is surrounded, they must be surrounded, but when the enemy is poor, do not force them."
"how to say?"
Gong Ziliang tilted his head and looked at Zhao Hao doubtfully.
Zhao Hao touched his non-existent beard and said enigmatically: "The meaning of this sentence is that if you want to encircle and suppress the enemy and are sure of victory, you must leave a gap to let him escape;
Otherwise, he will fight like a trapped animal. If the enemy reaches a desperate situation, you must stop it, otherwise he will struggle desperately."
Although they still didn't understand, Zhao Hao's explanation made Gong Ziliang and the surrounding generals widen their eyes.
Gong Ziliang murmured: "Old. Does the old Guowei still accept disciples?"
"hehe."
Zhao Hao smiled hoarsely, and then ordered the messenger Sima: "Tell Che Ying to besiege them for a few days. After they have eaten up all the food on their bodies, I will go and clarify the misunderstanding, remove the fuel from the cauldron, and stabilize the overall situation!"
"Brother Hao, what does this mean!?"
"Why."
Zhao Hao sighed and said quietly: "The Mohist family has a deep misunderstanding of the Qin State. Even if we kill these Mohist disciples, we will only be entangled with old and new grudges, which is very detrimental to the development of the Qin State. As the saying goes, a mouse excrement is bad. A pot of soup, you understand?”
"But."
The young master hesitated and said: "The Mo family was going to kill you, how could you commit the crime yourself? It's not like we don't have Mo family disciples in Da Qin. Wouldn't it be nice to let them clarify the misunderstanding?"
"The differences between Qin Mo and Chu Mo are too big. Let them clarify the misunderstanding. They will only become more and more stalemate. Besides, times have changed. The most important thing in this world is talent. Talent. Ninth brother, do you understand?"
"I"
Gong Ziliang opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
Zhao Hao smiled, ignored him, raised his hand and waved to the messenger: "Go!"
"promise."
The messenger promised and turned around to leave.
Three days later, in the morning, the weather was rarely clear.
At the intersection of Jiujun Mountain, Zhao Hao slowly walked into the mountain path with two guards.
The two guards were constantly observing their surroundings, looking wary.
Suddenly, a loud female voice came from the woods on the mountainside: "The boy below, what is your name!"
"Master! It's a woman!"
The guard reminded in surprise.
Zhao Hao looked around and saw a beautiful, pale face and messy long hair. Who else could it be if it wasn't Mo Xuan?
The cloth she was wearing was already stained with blood, and she held the dagger in her hand tightly, as if she was ready for a desperate fight at any time.
"Master, step back, it's the female assassin of the Mo family!"
"Master, be careful!"
The two guards shouted while protecting Zhao Hao.
"Young master? Are you the son of King Qin?"
"Exactly!"
"Come and die!"
When Mo Xuan heard Zhao Hao's words, his eyes immediately turned cold and he rushed over.
However, before she was halfway through, she lost strength and fell to the ground.
"Be careful of fraud! I'll deal with it!"
One of the guards shouted with a generous look.
As he spoke, he bared his teeth and prepared to step forward with a sharp sword in hand.
"Nonsense!" Another guard frowned and scolded: "You are strong, you should protect the young master first, leave this kind of female assassin to me!"
After saying that, he also licked his lips.
At this moment, Zhao Hao behind him suddenly wiped his mouth and said: "You two, I..."
"Young Master must not put himself in danger."
"Yes, sir, this female assassin must be up to something."
The two guards tried to dissuade Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes in his heart, raised his hand to his forehead and said, "Look carefully. Did you drop the sword in her hand?"
"Um?"
The two guards looked at each other, looked at each other, and found that it had really fallen.
"Let's go, let's go there."
Zhao Hao waved his hand and led two guards to Mo Xuan. He leaned down and looked her over, then turned to the guards and said, "Is there any water? Give her some water!"
"have."
A guard responded, immediately took off the water bag from his waist and handed it to Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao fed Mo Xuan some water. Not long after, she slowly opened her eyes and gasped drowsily: "Why did you save me?"
"I came here to clarify the misunderstanding with people from the Mo family. Naturally, I can't just ignore him." Zhao Hao smiled lightly.
"You, are you Young Master Hao?"
Mo Xuan's expression suddenly changed, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he was about to take action.
At this moment, two guards quickly held her down: "Don't be rude to the young master!"
"Gongzi Hao, I advise you not to waste your efforts. Killing violence with a righteous sword and saving the world with love are the tenets of our Mohist family. If you violently kill the Qin Dynasty and slaughter the world, everyone will be able to kill you!"
In an instant, Mo Xuan didn't struggle and just looked at Zhao Hao coldly.
Zhao Hao smiled and said: "So, shouldn't our Great Qin die?"
"Hmph! Everything the Mo family does is to uphold justice. Even if they assassinate you, they will do it openly and openly. They will never make conspiracies out of thin air. However, for the sake of the selfishness of the tyrant, you, the Qin State, launched a war, causing all the innocent people in the world to do so. His death was in vain, his intentions were so sinister, shouldn’t the country be subjugated?”
"Okay, as you said, our Qin State should perish. Then, I want to ask you, after the Qin State perishes, there should be someone to take over the world, right?" Zhao Hao said with a smile.
"Without you, Qin, wouldn't the world be stable?"
Just when Mo Xuan was about to reply to Zhao Hao, Mo Feng, Mo Yu, Mo Ku and others led the children of the Mo family and came behind Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment and looked up: "Oh? Are you talking about the Zhou Dynasty dividing the world?"
"Even if the Zhou Dynasty does not divide the world, the six countries are still together!" Mo Feng said coldly.
"Six Kingdoms?"
Zhao Hao sneered; "I dare to ask you, the Mo family is an academic sect, why do they have hundreds or even thousands of swordsmen? Is it because they want to gain advantage from the six countries?"
"That's nonsense!"
Mo Yu said angrily: "I, the Mo family, are the eminent scholars in the world and advocate justice for the people of the world. How can the son of your tyrant understand this?"
After saying that, he shouted: "Kill him and avenge Junior Brother Mo Nan!"
"How dare you, traitor!"
As soon as Mo Yu finished speaking, Gong Ziliang's shout suddenly came from the mountainside. At the same time, densely packed Qin troops, armed with bows and crossbows, appeared all around.
The expressions of everyone in the Mo family changed greatly, and they all moved closer to the center.
"Speak for justice for the people of the world?"
Zhao Hao had a hint of teasing on his lips and raised his eyebrows: "Is this equivalent to saying that your Mo family can uphold justice in whatever country you want to do?"
"Why not?"
Mo Feng's expression changed, and he snorted coldly: "Qin's tyranny, cruelty to the common people, abuse of criminal laws, and exorbitant taxation are not tolerated by the world. It is an unjust country. Even if we are killed, there will be other Mo family people to uphold justice!" "
Zhao Hao was not angry when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Do you know that the one who can uphold justice in this world is not your Moh family, but the ruler!"
"Only the ruler can judge right and wrong according to his own will and uphold the so-called justice!"
"And you, the Mohist family, do you want to replace me in Qin? Or maybe you, the giant of the Mohist family, also want to be the king?"
After hearing Zhao Hao's words, all the Mohist disciples looked at each other, and then glared angrily.
Mo Ku's mouth twitched, but Mo Xuan was in Zhao Hao's hands, and he couldn't act rashly.
It's just that it's extremely detrimental to them to continue to entangle this topic, because they have been hungry for two days and their hearts are in panic. In addition, there are Qin troops all around. If they want to escape and ascend to heaven, they have to keep their attention on Zhao Hao.
"Since Young Master Hao put himself in danger, presumably to convince us, it's better to do this. I'll ask Young Master Hao three questions. If Young Master Hao can answer them, we will arrest him. If Young Master Hao can't answer them, then let us go. How about that? ?”
Hearing this, Mo Feng and Mo Yu were slightly startled, and when they were about to speak, they heard Zhao Hao say with a smile: "No problem, just ask!"
"Good! You deserve to be the son of King Qin!"
Mo said with a wry smile, and then asked: "I would like to ask Master Hao, how do you judge Qin's Legalists?"
"The Qin State admires Legalism, which makes the country rich and its people poor. Legalism is the reason for success and failure for Legalism." Zhao Hao replied calmly.
All the Mohist disciples were greatly surprised and couldn't help but look at each other.
Mo Ku also looked at Zhao Hao with a strange expression and said, "I heard that Young Master Hao once proposed to 'depose all schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone'. Why did you ignore your father's killing spree of Confucian scholars?"
"Is this the second question?"
"So be it!"
Zhao Hao nodded with a smile: "Okay, since it is the second question, then I will give you a good answer. First of all, I do not agree with the Legalist method of weakening the people. I think the country should be rich and the people strong. Secondly, the Confucian idea of benevolence is very suitable for Governing the people, and Legalist torture does not apply to our Da Qin New Deal!"
"As for you saying that my father went on a killing spree against Confucian scholars, this is sheer nonsense. Most of the people my father killed were alchemists and Confucian scholars who had repeatedly violated the law! Don't you, the Mohist family, also have laws? Don't these people who break the law... Should he be punished severely? Or do you, the Mohist family, also believe that 'punishment will not make a doctor worthy of punishment'?"
"Hmph! Our Mohist family punishes the strong and supports the weak, and advocates peace!"
Hearing this, Mo Xuan shouted coldly.
Zhao Hao chuckled: "Then let me ask you, the Mohist family has been established for hundreds of years, and the Mohist disciples are running around, and there is still a lot of bloodshed, but can there be a day of peace? How can there be a year without war?"
Hearing this, Mo Yu became angry and said, "That's because our Mo family hasn't done enough, so we have to work harder!"
"Wrong! You are all wrong!"
Zhao Hao smiled and shook his head: "You were wrong when your Mohist family had differences and divided into three factions. If the Mohist family only put out fires among various countries, then the peace in the world that Mozi expected would never be realized, just like What I said just now, even if there is no Qin, there are other countries that can unify the world, and people’s ambitions are endless!”
"Listen to what you said, your Qin country unified the world for the sake of the people in the world?" Mo Feng sneered.
Zhao Hao said sternly: "Even if you don't think about the people of the world, you have solved the disputes between the seven countries for more than two hundred years. Is this okay?"
"Okay, then let me ask you one last question!" Mo Ku smiled secretly.
Zhao Hao narrowed his eyes and said: "If you want to ask me whether I should be the emperor or not, I advise you not to ask. If you ask, you will die!"
"you"
Mo Ku's pupils shrank, he really wanted to ask Zhao Hao this question.
Because Zhao Hao didn't dare to answer this question, the Mo family should be a sure winner.
But Zhao Hao's words surprised him.
Zhao Hao said solemnly: "I came to see you to help you fulfill Mozi's last wish. If you are stubborn and seek your own death, then I have nothing to say! Get ready! Shoot them!"
Wow!
The surrounding Qin troops immediately raised their crossbows and pointed them at the Mo family.
Everyone in the Mo family suddenly changed their expressions and trembled like chaff.
