Dugu Xiang asked curiously: "What Hidden Sect? I have never heard of such a sect."
Pei Min said: "It is an alliance, not a sect. We come from different sects, different ethnic groups, and even different countries. We have reached an alliance for the same goal."
Dugu Xiang wondered: "For what purpose? I heard what you said before, you want to kill this and get rid of that. Do you also want to build another country like Fei Hongzi?"
Pei Min laughed loudly and said: "Xiao Nizi, you have wronged us. We don't want to be princes, generals, or hidden allies. Hiding first is our priority. We will also kill people, but our purpose of killing is not to capture cities and territories." , but to 'stop the war'."
Dugu Xiang still didn't understand and said, "How can killing people stop the war?"
Pei Min said: "Xiao Nizi, does she know the story of Mo Zifei's attack on Song Dynasty?"
Although Dugu Xiang was forced by Ye Ye to read a lot of the Four Books and Five Classics, she didn't know that Mozi was a pre-Qin scholar and was not included in Confucianism. Jiang Shuo took over the conversation and said, "Master refers to the Warring States Period." At that time, Gongshu Ban built a ladder for the Chu State to attack the Song State. After hearing the news, Mozi walked from Qi State for ten days and ten nights to the Chu State to persuade the King of Chu to give up the attack on the Song State. "
Jiang Shuo was Li Bai's schoolboy. Li Bai read a lot of books, not just Confucian classics. Jiang Shuo also had a photographic memory, so he could tell the story of "Mozi Gongshu". m.
Dugu Xiang said: "This Mozi is so proud. He persuaded the King of Chu to stop fighting?"
Jiang Shuo said: "Rather than persuading, it is better to say that Mozi is threatening the King of Chu... Gongshu Pan is Zulu Ban, the carpenter. He is very confident in the ladder he built, and the King of Chu is reluctant to give up the newly built siege weapon, so Mozi took off his clothes, built a wall around the city, used wood pieces as weapons, and asked Gongshu Pan and him to practice offense and defense in front of the King of Chu."
Dugu Xiang became interested and asked, "What about the outcome?"
Jiang Shuo said: "Gongshu Ban used several methods to attack the city, but they were all defeated by Mozi. His siege methods were exhausted, but Mozi's tactics to defend the city were more than enough. Gongshu Ban refused to admit defeat, saying that he There is a way to deal with Mozi, but he can't say it. Mozi said that he knew what Gongshuban's method was, but he didn't say it."
Dugu Xiang frowned and said, "Why are these two people so confused?"
Jiang Shuo smiled and said: "Gongshu Ban's method is very simple, that is, kill Mozi. If you kill Mozi, there will be no one to help the Song Dynasty defend the city."
Dugu Xiang said: "Ah...the ancestor of carpenters is so small-minded? Isn't Mozi in danger?"
Jiang Shuo shook his head and said: "Although Mozi advocates universal love without aggression, he is by no means pedantic. He can be said to be the most resourceful person during the Warring States Period. Before Mozi came to the Chu Kingdom, he had sent his disciple Qin Liuli to throw three disciples away. Hundreds of people went to the Song Dynasty, and his disciples all knew how to defend the city. Seeing that there was no guarantee of victory, the King of Chu gave up the idea of attacking the Song Dynasty, and naturally he did not kill Mozi."
Dugu Xiang nodded and said: "So Mozi's 'persuasion' is not about reasoning, but about showing fists."
Jiang Shuo said: "There were no righteous wars in the Spring and Autumn Period, and this was especially true during the Warring States Period. Strength was the only argument that the monarchs of various countries at that time could listen to."
Pei Min put his palms in his hands and laughed and said: "Shuo'er, I really read you right! Your words can be said to be the essence of Mohism's non-attack. Mohism's non-attack is not Confucian's persuasion and prayer, but relying on strength and teaching. People dare not attack.”
Jiang Shuo suddenly thought of "Juzi", wasn't it the legendary name for the leader of the Mohist family?
Dugu Xiang said: "So you want to be a Mohist? But the Mohists are all about love and non-aggression, and they don't say they want to kill people."
Jiang Shuo said: "Xiang'er, you are wrong again. Non-attack is only the first step of Mohism. Mozi believes that there are just wars and unjust wars. Attacking an innocent country is called "attack", and attacking a guilty country is called "offensive". The state's mission is to 'punish', and when faced with an unjust war, it can not only 'non-attack', but can also 'punish' and take the initiative to quell the war."
Pei Min nodded frequently after hearing this and said, "Zhu'er said that you are a member of our group, which is indeed true!"
Dugu Xiang said: "Oh... so you kill people to use offense instead of defense, to kill to stop killing?"
Pei Min said: "What is written in the book is the truth, but the world is much more complicated. For example, without getting rid of Feihongzi and Yihai Abo, Ruixi will not be able to become the Damucha of Manichaeism. Therefore, the bone strength Pei Luohan King, would pretend to be close to them. Without the secret help of our Hidden Alliance, it would be difficult for all religions to gather in Kongtong Mountain. Because of this, the two of them were so powerful that they lost their wits and eventually lost their reputation. If not, with the cunning, cunning, and wisdom of the two Interest may not be able to replace it.”
Dugu Xiang looked around and said: "With the skills of everyone in the Yin Alliance, it is not difficult to kill these two people directly, right? Why go to such trouble?"
Pei Min shook his head and said: "The purpose of our killing is not to kill people... If the crazy behavior of the two is not known to the Manichaean Persian General Assembly, or the general altar does not know the wise man Ruixi, even if we kill the two people, Ruixi will not It is difficult to justifiably take over the hundreds of thousands of followers of Manichaeism."
Jiang Shuo had to admit that what Pei Min said was true. He asked, "Then Huairen Khan didn't kill Abo and brought him to Uihe for some other reason?"
Bone Strength Pei Luo smiled and said: "Young friend Jiang, you should be able to imagine that we need to have a backup plan. If there is a change in Manichaeism under Ruixi's rule, we still have a rare commodity in our hands."
Dugu Xiang sighed: "The Gui Alliance is too scary, and the thoughts are so far-reaching..." She suddenly looked at Cheng Qianli and said, "So, Brother Cheng, you were already a member of the Hidden Alliance when you joined the Jianghu Alliance?"
Cheng Qianli nodded and smiled: "That's right! Li Shijun thought I was his spy on Anlu Mountain, but he didn't know that I was actually a spy of the Yin Alliance."
He suddenly left the table and solemnly paid homage to Jiang Shuo: "Young Master Jiang, I want to apologize to you. Back then, the rise of Taihu Zhenze in the Jianghu Alliance was a hidden danger to the Jianghu Alliance and the Canuyun factions. We, the Hidden Alliance, intended to disrupt the Jianghu Alliance. Let Hun Weiming be ruined, and the balance of power in the Jiangnan martial arts world can be restored..."
Jiang Shuo said: "So you feed me the Black Dragon Pill..."
Cheng Qianli said calmly: "Yes, the original intention was to put the blame on Hun Weiming, so that Master Ge and Hun Weiming would turn against each other and take the opportunity to get rid of him, so I want to apologize to you."
He bowed again and continued: "You were just an unknown child back then. I really didn't expect you to survive. When I found out that you were not dead, I deliberately missed the Japanese warrior in the Qingfeng Cave and taught you to reveal the secrets inside your body. Regarding Dragon Ball, Ge Ruliang really loves his wife and wants to attack you, and Hun Weiming really took the opportunity to attack..."
Jiang Shuo said: "So you originally wanted to blame Hun Weiming, but later you adapted and blamed Master Ge."
Cheng Qianli said: "For me, as long as the goal is achieved, it makes no difference who strikes first, Ge or Hun. But... Young Master, I really admire you. Not only did you escape with your life, but you also repeatedly We had an unexpected encounter, and even in January, we successively resolved the conflicts between the Jianghu Alliance and the Water Transport factions. This was something we had never dared to think of before. It would be great if we could achieve our goal without killing anyone, and we have not done anything since. Nothing more than disrupting the Jianghu Alliance."
Dugu Xiang sighed: "Brother Cheng, you seem to be honest and honest, but in fact you have quite a lot of tricks up your sleeve."
Cheng Qianli grinned and said, "Xiang'er is so complimentary."
Jiang Shuo now knows that he is actually very scheming, but looking at him like this, he still feels stupid, which shows how deep he hides himself.
Cheng Qianli continued: "Then I went to Anlu Mountain. Anlu Mountain has always been rebellious, but everyone in the Tang Dynasty believed that he would rebel, and almost everyone thought that he was not good enough to succeed. If he really If we take action, all life in the hinterland of the Central Plains will inevitably be devastated. What we have done is to completely expose his wolf ambitions, and we must also arrange for him to have a few more mortal enemies to tightly tie his hands and feet so that he cannot use his hands to rebel. "
Jiang Shuo said with enlightenment: "So whether it's Li Shijun, Khitan or Xi people, or even Bohai Kingdom, Xinluo Kingdom, and Anlu Mountain, making enemies everywhere is actually the intention of the Hidden Alliance."
Pei Min said: "Yes, we have deployed many people in Fan Yang's civil and military affairs, and Zhu'er is just one of them. The secret to this is that one is to provoke An Lushan to take action, and the other is to never let him succeed, so that we can contain him to the maximum extent Stay with this thief."
Jiang Shuo sighed and said: "The Hidden Alliance is so omnipresent. It turns out that I have been driving for the general many times without knowing it..."
Pei Min smiled and said: "In retrospect, you are born with a chivalrous heart, and we are just making good use of it. You have really helped so many people, and you have really ruined the schemes of noble and solemn people. This is amazing It was not something we could arrange, and what you did far exceeded our best plans."
Jiang Shuo said: "In this case, the Yan army repeatedly advanced and forced the Khitan and Xi tribe to rebel. I'm afraid it was the Yin Alliance that was adding fuel to the flames, right?"
Pei Min said: "Looking back, you are still young, but you don't know how ferocious the Khitan was back then. If it weren't for Zhang Shougui and An Lushan's deception, which severely damaged the various tribes of Yuan Chaan, the Khitan would not be in the position it is today with only the ability to parry but no ability to fight back." dilemma."
Dugu Xiang smiled and said: "Hehe, I'm afraid the Yin Alliance's contribution to the murder of the Khitan chiefs was indispensable."
As she said this, she glanced at Nie Li, who smiled and said: "Ms. Dugu, you don't need to instigate us. We have no secrets or suspicions about each other in our hidden alliance. We weakened the Khitan back then to protect our people."
Dugu Xiang's eyes widened in surprise and said: "Dayi Lijin, are you obsessed? If I were a Khitan, I would definitely want my tribe to be as powerful as possible. How can I say that weakening it is better? "
Nie Li said: "Back then, the Lord of the Khitan thought he had a strong army and would invade the hinterland of the Central Plains every year..."
Jiang Shuo knew that what he said was true. Guo Ziyi had personally told him that following Wang Zhongsi's three battles with the Khitan, in the past, when he was the envoy of the Longhua Army, Pei Min also had a story of frightening off the Khitan's pursuers. .
Just listen to Nie Li continue to say: "But how can the Khitan compete with the Tang Dynasty with its national power? The death of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of Han people in the Central Plains will not shake the foundation. The Khitan only needs one big defeat to be destroyed. In fact The continuous battles last year have left all the young people of the Khitan dead and wounded. Therefore, although I am a Khitan, I also hope to limit the strength of the Khitan. An Lushan is not a fool. If he finds out that the Khitan is really powerful, then he can It’s not a fake beating, it’s a real beating.”
Jiang Shuo said: "That's why you and Huaixiu left Shuomo and deliberately separated your troops from Hu La. It was probably a way to protect the Khitan."
Nie Li nodded and said: "If King Xi Li Yan Chongruo hadn't killed the two princesses given to him and the Khitan Khan by Emperor Tang, Huai Xiu would not have been so determined to follow me."
Dugu Xiang was stunned and said, "Isn't it an accident that sister Jingle was killed?"
Nieli said: "Yes, I asked Zhu'er to reveal the whereabouts of Jingle and the others to Li Yanchong in order to strengthen Huaixiu's determination to leave the Tang Dynasty. If he joins the Khitan in the Tang Dynasty, he will be assimilated by the Han people. For the sake of the Khitan tribes, Jing Le must die!”
Duguxiang had heard them talk about the hidden plot behind it before, and found it quite interesting because it had nothing to do with her. Now when she talked about the truth about Jingle's tragic death, she couldn't help but feel her stomach churn. He couldn't stop crying and roared: "Sister Jingle has done nothing wrong, how could you decide her life and death so coldly?"
Some people died, but not completely...
