Chapter 75: The Mohist School Is Hard to Reject
"I want to too!" Jin Yao sighed and avoided the kneeling of the Eastern Zhou envoy.
When the Eastern Zhou envoy heard Jin Yao's words, his eyes lit up. As expected, young people are easy to deceive. There is a turning point. As long as he can persuade Jin Yao to order troops to rush to the rescue, even if the Six-Fingered Black Knight comes, he cannot stop it.
"Don't do anything stupid!" All the leaders of the Mohist School looked at Jin Yao. As they said, when the great master was away, Jin Yao had the greatest power. If Jin Yao really ordered them to go to Luoyi for assistance, they must obey.
"But the angel should also know that I was once a senior minister of the State of Zhao!" Jin Yao said.
"Of course I know. As long as Bian Shou agrees to send troops to help the emperor survive this disaster, the emperor will appoint Bian Shou as the most senior official in the world!" the Eastern Zhou envoy said hurriedly.
"No, no, no, I'm not asking for an official position. Rather, I once made an agreement with General Li Mu, the commander of Yanmen Pass, to expel the Huns and protect the territory and the people. Now is the time to fulfill my promise. The envoy came at an untimely time!" Jin Yao said pretending to be helpless.
As for whether this happened or not, you can send someone to Yanmen Pass to ask Li Mu. After you come back and forth, if the Zhou Dynasty is still there, whether the Mohist school sends troops or not, you will not die.
"This..." The envoy from Eastern Zhou was dumbfounded.
All the leaders of the Mohist School breathed a sigh of relief. As for that promise, no one knew whether it was true or not!
"Does the angel want me to sit with that treacherous person?" Jin Yao asked back.
"But border violations happen every year and there is only one emperor!" The Eastern Zhou envoy wanted to restrict Jin Yao with righteousness, which was also the weak point of Mohism. Unfortunately, he met Jin Yao.
"That has nothing to do with me. I have my own beliefs. Things are prioritized, not big or small. I can only say that it was unfortunate that the angel came at the wrong time. Or the angel could have asked the emperor to wait until I and General Li Mu had destroyed the Huns before leading the army south to rescue!" Jin Yao said, pretending to think seriously.
The Eastern Zhou envoy's mouth twitched. "Destroy the Xiongnu, what do you want? Wasn't Zhao strong during the reign of King Wuling of Zhao? Wasn't Qin strong? Wasn't Yan strong when it was able to gather 600,000 soldiers in the past two years? Well, the last one was really not strong. 600,000 fought against 130,000 and let them counterattack within the borders. I can do it.
However, even among Qin, Zhao and Yan, who has ever invaded the Xiongnu? When you invade the Xiongnu and destroy them, I am afraid that even the Taiyi God will not be able to see it! Not to mention the Zhou Dynasty, which is now surrounded by the Qin army.
"I told you to ring the alarm bell nine times, gather your disciples, and go to Yanmen Pass. What are you still doing?" Jin Yao looked at the leaders of the Mohist School and scolded them.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The commanders laughed. This was a good reason.
It's not that we don't want to help, but things have to come first. We first promised Zhao to send troops to Yanmen Pass and attack the Huns willing but unable to do so. How about you tell Qin to wait and continue after we defeat the Huns?
What, you said the emperor is more important? Bullshit, attacking the Xiongnu in the north is not important. The northern barbarians have been invading for many years. I don’t know how you Zhou Dynasty moved the capital. We are avenging you!
Your affairs with the Qin State are our Central Plains affairs, which are family affairs. But it is different with the Xiongnu. This is a major event for the entire Central Plains and the world. We, the Mohists, know clearly which is more important!
"Well, if you can help, please do your best!" The two leaders of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou envoys left. The two leaders bowed to the leaders of the Mohist School and made a request.
"My two uncles, you'd better not go back!" Jin Yao looked at the two of them and said after a moment of hesitation.
He knew that Qin would never stop. Qin's goal was to rule the world, and the princes also wanted to compete for it, so they sat back and watched the Qin army destroy Zhou. Therefore, the demise of the Zhou Dynasty was inevitable.
"Some things have to be done by someone, and someone has to uphold the Mohist cause. We have brought back the Mohist disciples, and there are only two of us old men on this trip!" One of the old men said frankly.
"Dao Zhi will be handed over to you to train from now on!" Another old man pushed a brown-haired boy with cricket hair who was about the same age as Jin Yao in front of him.
"Teacher!" The young thief Zhi knew very well that the two teachers were entrusting him with their care and he had already pledged his death. With tears in his eyes he knelt down in front of the two old men.
"Don't worry, commanders!" The six-fingered black knight who had not appeared before also appeared, holding the sword solemnly and promised.
"Thank you, Master!" After receiving the promise from the Six-Fingered Black Knight, the two old men looked at Jin Yao with a smile.
"Do you have anything else to say, uncles?" Jin Yao was a little confused.
"Jin is a good surname!" The two old men said something that Jin Yao could not understand, then turned around and caught up with the Eastern Zhou envoys.
Jin Yao seemed to understand, and followed the Mohist disciples to stand outside the Mechanical City and salute the two old men.
Dao Zhi and a group of Mohist disciples from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty who were brought back knelt under the mechanical city to see the two old men off.
“Someone has to practice the Mohist righteousness!” Six-fingered Black Knight sighed. These were the two leaders of the Mohist school, yet they were going to become victims of war and die in vain.
"Is the agreement between you and Li Mu true or false?" The Six-Fingered Black Knight looked at Jin Yao and asked.
"Of course it's fake. You all know that when I was in Zhaodu, Li Mu was still in Yanmen Pass!" Jin Yao rolled his eyes.
"But it has to be true!" Six-fingered Black Knight said seriously, "We must keep our word and fulfill our promise. This is the promise of the Mohists. Even if it is nonsense, it must be confirmed!"
"Ah?" Jin Yao understood a little. This is the Mohist School!
"Li Mu did ask for help from the Mohists. The northern barbarians have been invading the border for a long time. The countries suffered so much that they had to build the Great Wall for defense. The Central Plains was also treated like a two-legged sheep by the northern barbarians. Therefore, no matter Qin, Zhao or Yan, they have no good way to deal with the northern barbarians invading the border."
"Even the border troops of various countries have lost more than they have won against the Northern Barbarians. Fear has existed since ancient times. This time, Li Mu plans to march straight in and counterattack the Northern Barbarians."
"Although Li Mu believes that his soldiers have the morale and will to fight, they have long been afraid of the Northern Barbarians. Therefore, Li Mu has asked the Mohist School for help through Commander Yang Lou, requesting that the Mohist School send 5,000 disciples and 300 God-killing Swordsmen to form a vanguard camp to build morale for the Zhao army!"
The six-fingered black hero explained that he did not want to participate in the war between nations anymore, but this was a war against the northern barbarians, and if the Mohists did not do anything, then the Mohists would lose their faith.
"Five thousand disciples, Master, do you know what this means?" Jin Yao looked at the Six-Fingered Black Knight seriously.
There are only 13,000 disciples in the Mohist main academy. Sending out 5,000 directly would be equivalent to draining out all the backbones of the Mohist school, leaving only those disciples who have not yet grown up.
"I know, but can we refuse?" The Six-Fingered Black Knight looked at Jin Yao seriously and asked.
Jin Yao was silent . Yes, anyone of the Hundred Schools of Thought could be rejected except the Mohist School, because this was the Mohist School, the most prominent school of thought in the world, the chivalrous Mohist School!
