Hanging pot to help the world, I just want to live forever

Chapter 159
The land of Yangzhou.

At this time, Dayue's real main battlefield is also the most thorough grinding of flesh and blood.

The threat of the Allied Forces of the Four Nations has never left Dayue for a moment in these years, but it was forced to stand in Yangzhou.

Except for the land of Yuzhou, where the White Lotus Sect and the temple army are fighting in full swing, the feelings of the other states are probably not so deep-but the influence has already spread from all aspects.

The ever-increasing taxes and more and more uprisings have almost become the law of display, and the endless demands. They are tightening the rope all the time, taking away the last vitality of this aging country.

But everyone knows that the real battlefield of life and death is in Yangzhou.

And now, Yangzhou can't stand it anymore.

On the banks of the Yuanhe River.

Countless people and horses gathered, and the boats coming and going were almost connected together on the wide source river, forming a bridge over the river.

The ordinary people with the parcels looked pale, and looked back at their hometown almost three times a step at a time, but the pace under their feet was not slow at all, for fear that they would not be able to catch up.

There are also some very young children, tightly held by their parents, walking towards the bridge formed by the boats, towards the other side of the Yuan River.

There is Yuzhou.

At the beginning of Kangjing's fifth year, Yuzhou had completely fallen.

Now at the end of the sixth year of Kangjing, the people in Yangzhou began to evacuate in an organized and orderly manner.

With the previous experience, although there are many people this time, the basic order seems to be maintained. After all, no one wants to die in vain.

The ink men dressed in rough and short brown kept shuttling through the crowd, maintaining order, while the men in yellow scarves were also shouting loudly.

"Don't rush, let alone squeeze! You can pass! Huang Tianwang said that he will let you pass. Don't you believe that Huang Tianwang can't make it? Why don't you slow down for me? If you dare to jump in the queue, it's not good to be a knife in my hand." ?!"

At the beginning, the voice that could be comforted would inevitably turn into scolding and threats later on, but generally speaking, being able to bring people across the river is already an absolute act of kindness.

"After crossing the Yuanhe River, there will be people to pick it up! You all have enough dry food, right? Don't run around wherever you go, just go wherever you are told. The one in front, what are you doing with such a big package? Besides food and Throw away some clothes and things that are too heavy! You won’t be exhausted by then!”

All kinds of noisy sounds made the bank of the Yuan River seem to be the largest vegetable market. This scene has lasted for several days, but up to now, the people waiting for the past are far from over.

All of this indicates one thing.

The land of Yangzhou is about to be given up.

Huang Chao looked at the waves of people converging into a crowd that was enough to make Yuan He feel a little ashamed, with a dangerous gleam in his cold eyes.

When he plundered the wealth of Yangzhou, he was merciless. All the rich and powerful families were caught by him, and almost all of them did not destroy their families.

Now he has also made such a feat of "carrying people across the river", which no one expected.

How could a devil-like character have such a kind heart?
After staring at the turbulent crowd for a long while, Huang Chao's eyes turned to another place.

There was a burly and taller figure than him, a man with a dark complexion who looked like an old farmer in the field, and was reading a book.

That's right, even now, that person is still in the mood to read.

And if you read it correctly, it seems to be a history book.

"I said, I can't hold it anymore."

Huang Chao was the first to speak. There was no one else around the two of them, and of course they didn't need any personal protection. Martial arts masters themselves are the pinnacle of personal power in this era. When they all need protection, what level should they be? enemy?

"One country against four countries, how long do you want to last?"

That person was finally willing to temporarily look away from the history books, and his voice was calm, as if he had expected everything.

Yes, but anyone with a discerning eye should understand that the aging Da Yue could never be the opponent of the Allied Forces of the Four Nations.

"The next one is Yuzhou. There are many plains in Yuzhou. Once Yangzhou's defense line is released, the whole land of the Great Moon will fall, not to mention completely. Even Yuzhou does not need to be completely attacked, and it can reach the imperial capital. At that time It's the time when the country is broken."

Huang Chao's face was gloomy, and he was analyzing the war seriously.

"Didn't you rebel a long time ago? You rebelled, and you still care about when Da Yue will destroy the country?"

Mo Qiu finally put down the history book in his hand. After all these years, his resolute face was still the same as before, only the inadvertent and subconscious frown spoke of his not-so-calm state of mind.

"Oh, I rebelled because I want to reorganize the universe. Of course the moon can be destroyed, but it is not the same as being destroyed by someone else."

When Huang Chao mentioned this, he still looked rampant, and he did not hide his ambition, "What about you? Your Mo family has refused to join Huang Tian's army until now. Except for me, who can endure your Mo family's ten Righteousness? The White Lotus Sect? Or the Great Moon Court? There is no other choice."

While speaking, Huang Chao walked up to Mo Qiu, stretched out a hand to him, and said sincerely: "Now, don't cling to your ideals anymore, let's join hands. You and I will work together. The combination of Huang Tianjun and the Mohists is enough to reorganize the universe. After the matter is completed, I will be the emperor, and you will be the national teacher, teaching and enlightening all people, and the world will be happy, isn't it beautiful?"

Looking at Huang Chao's outstretched right hand, Mo Qiu put down the book, pondered for a moment and then stretched out his hand.

A gleam of joy appeared on Huang Chao's face.

But the next moment, Mo Qiu patted his outstretched palm aside.

"Different road non-phase plan."

Mo Qiu said calmly.

"Ha, until now, you still haven't conspired with each other?"

Huang Chao's face darkened, "If it weren't for my troops in Yangzhou to help resist, Yangzhou would not be able to last for two years! How many people died in Huang Tian's army in the past two years? My contribution is not to mention Wan Jiasheng Buddha, once said that benevolence and righteousness are exhausted, there is always no mistake.

For your sake, I even asked the people to cross the source river first, and now you are still doing this to me? "

Mo Qiu just looked at him and said nothing.

It is different from person to person.

Huang Chao could indeed see the suffering in the world.

He also does have the mind and ability to accomplish something.

However, the biggest problem is that these ideas of his are all for the purpose of achieving a career.

For this reason, he can be ruthless and ruthless to Tianjie to trample on the bones of the public, or he can take the people across the river to spread good stories in order to win his support.

This is a man full of ambition.

The current situation is not good, so Huang Chao can still tolerate Mohism, but once the situation improves a little, there is no danger of overturning at any time, Huang Chao is probably the first to attack Mohism.

Before killing the emperor, Mo Qiu had already seen it clearly.

Probably no one can tolerate the existence of an organization like the Mohist, no matter who he is.

The best result of the Mo family is not to take refuge in any one side, but to follow their own path firmly.

This requires a person who can lead the Mohism forward without losing his way and not indulging in his own desires.

Of course, the Mohists and Mohists must also have sufficient strength and influence.

Now Mohism has a great influence, winning over Mohism can bring enough benefits and popular support.

That's why Huang Chao is still quite polite to him now, trying every means to hope that the Mo family will join Huang Tianjun, because he knows that it is impossible for him to fight for world hegemony together, and they are not competitors.

Once he chooses to join Huang Tianjun completely, it will completely change his meaning, and he will inevitably have to compromise again and again.

If there are too many compromises, the Mohist school will no longer be the Mohist school, and the Mohist will no longer be the Mohist.

There are always people in this world who can understand the general trend, stir up the wind and rain, and achieve a momentary grand ambition, but these things are not what Mo Qiu is after.

For someone to achieve grand plans and hegemony, someone must stick to the righteous way in the world.

The interests of this world are mixed, crazy, corrupt, and inhuman, so there should be a group of people who are sober, stubborn, and spotless, and hold the final bottom line.

This is what he meant by the difference.

Huang Chao's face completely sank.

As his eyes flickered, countless thoughts came to his mind, and finally Huang Chao opened his mouth and recited a poem: "The westerly wind is blowing and the yard is full of plants, but the stamens are cold and fragrant, and the butterflies are hard to come. If I were the Qing Emperor in his year, I would repay the peach blossoms together." .”

If I were the Qing Emperor in his age, I would share with the peach blossoms!

This is almost a blunt guarantee that even if he has achieved something, he will not do anything to the Mo family.

Mo Qiu looked at him and laughed.

Then he shook his head slightly, and said in the same calm voice as before: "The Mo family will not make anyone's sword."

"Could it be possible that you still want to hold your morality and lead a group of people to die? Over the years, the Mohists have changed a few times. Nothing can last forever, and of course the Mohism. You can lead the Mohism now. Going forward, is it possible that you can still lead?
You are the only saint and sage in this world, the one who dares to die for righteousness?Now that the situation has deteriorated to this point, you still hold on to the dogma in your heart and refuse to let go. You have been defending the city to save people, saving people, saving people, did you save more people, or did the Allied Forces of the Four Nations kill more people?If you don't seize the time to reshape the universe, do you want a golden body of morality, or do you really want to end the troubled times? "

Huang Chao finally stopped being polite, all his patience was exhausted, and he spoke in a cold tone, almost questioning.

"You and I join forces to sweep across the moon at the fastest speed, and gather all the forces that can be won. It is clearly the best way to end this troubled world. Now that the interior is still torn apart, and foreign enemies may enter at any time, you still value it so much. The fame of the Mo family? Do you want to save people, or do you want a good reputation? !

Those who do not plan for one life are not enough to plan for ten thousand lives.Now that even Dayue has not settled down, you just think that the reputation of the Mo family cannot be destroyed, so what is the difference between you and me?Just because you are called a saint? "

Huang Chao finally stopped talking about it, and his words were so intense that he almost pointed at Mo Qiu's nose and scolded.

This is already a heartbreaking statement.

Didn't you always say that I am too ambitious? Could it be that you, Mo Qiu, are not a famous thief?
After earning the admiration of the people in the world, he dragged that admiration and refused to take a step into the quagmire. Is it for morality or fame?

You say that I am very ambitious, so is it possible that your ambition is slightly smaller than mine?
No, it is precisely because your ambition is far greater than mine that you are so unreasonable, completely disregarding the imminent reality!
Mo Qiu listened carefully to Huang Chao's questioning, and after he finally stopped talking, he said: "In this world, once you lose morality and integrity, you will become mercenary. Of course, profit is a good thing. It can make people feel better." Life is better, minus a lot of pain for no reason, but when everyone starts chasing profit, how is it different from a beast?

Fame and profit are separate, whether it is to seek fame or to seek profit through fame, then one can only freely testify.A gentleman talks about his deeds regardless of his heart, but I rely on morality and righteousness, and I am proud of my strength of character, so I am not afraid of slander, and I am not afraid of others' words. "

The nobler the ideal, the more guarded against the basest desires.

It seems that the more moral a person is, the easier it is to feel the lack of morality.

If you want all noble things to fall into the quagmire, the first step is to mix them with profit.

The slogan of the Mohist School has not changed for so many years: Prosper the benefits of the world and eliminate the harm of the world!

But the benefits and harms of the world are completely different from an individual, a theory, or an organization.

Everyone can find a reason for themselves to act. Before this reason, there is always room for compromise. This is better, and that may be good, but after repeated compromises, the original intention is meaningless.

As he once said, there are too many pragmatic people in this world, and there should always be some people who are pragmatic.

The country is no longer a country, and humanity is incomplete.

Ever since killing the emperor, Mo Qiu has figured it out.

One cannot want everything, there is not so much perfection.

Therefore, he is only for the common people in this life, and he only seeks morality.

It doesn't matter whether you want to sell your name or catch your reputation.

The persistence of the Mohists is by no means meaningless.

The result is important, and the process cannot be ignored.

The two insisted on their own opinions, they wanted different things, they thought different things, even if they met temporarily and faced a common enemy, they would still be as Mo Qiu said.

Different road non-phase plan.

It was getting dark.

With a torch, he came to the bank of the source river.

Both Huang Chao and Mo Qiu stopped talking.

There is no winner in this battle of words, but there is no doubt that in the land of Yangzhou, they cannot hold on.

The two martial arts masters can't act recklessly, because the martial arts masters of the four-nation coalition have also arrived.

If they don't move, those masters didn't move first.

It is the best choice for the grand master not to end, but if he does not end, he is also doomed to watch everything gradually collapse with his own eyes.

Huang Chao wanted to bring another disaster to the master, or in other words, through the threat of another disaster to the master, he would force the Allied Forces of the Four Nations to withdraw their troops.

Mo Qiu doesn't allow it.

This is actually the source of the contradiction.

One Mohist can't turn the situation around, but two masters who are desperate to disrupt the situation may be able to.

If you can't fight head-on, you will try your best to play tricks behind your back.

Anyway, the Da Yue royal family has nothing to do with them, I wish some grand masters would rush over and kill Emperor Kang Jing, it would be best to wipe out the whole family of the royal family!

In contrast, they are the ones who are barefoot.

However, it is an extremely dangerous act for an individual to directly persecute a country, or even several countries, and the disaster of the master is the best proof.

This kind of shackle was loosened once, and the result was more than two hundred years of uninterrupted bloodshed. The destructiveness and destruction of the world were far more unbearable than the collapse of a country.

What's more, after so many years, with the lessons learned from the past, warriors have always been suppressed by the temple in almost all directions, and the number of grandmasters cannot support the second disaster of grandmasters.

Huang Chao's ambition is rather a choice he had to make when he was almost cornered.

But the problem is, there may be some hope in doing it.

If you don't do it, you will be doomed to destroy Da Yue under the iron hoof of the Allied Forces of the Four Nations.

In the end, there is still hope for giving it a go, or watching the Land of the Great Moon being eroded bit by bit.

This is the most direct reason for the quarrel between the two.

In the silence, an ink man quickly ran towards this place.

"Young man, there is a letter from you, which is sent from the imperial capital." The ink man said.

Mo Qiu nodded, took the letter, glanced at it a few times, his originally frowning brows loosened a little, and a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time appeared on his face, as if he saw something big happy event.

Seeing the smile on his face, Huang Chao couldn't help feeling angry, "What? Whose letter can make a saint so happy? Could it be that the immortal touched your heart, sent a letter to the saint, and sent [-] yuan?" Heavenly soldiers and generals?"

He was in a bad mood, and his speech was naturally even more ambiguous, with a strange air of yin and yang.

"I have a friend."

Mo Qiu read the letter carefully first, the smile on his face did not fade for a long time, facing Huang Chao's ridicule, he said very seriously: "He finally made up his mind to come out to help."

"Hey, who is the hidden immortal who can stop the Allied Forces of the Four Kingdoms?"

Huang Chao said disdainfully.

He himself is the master of martial arts, the pinnacle of martial arts in this world!
Even so, it is still difficult to walk, and even made the worst plan, wanting to overturn the table.

How could the current situation in Dayue be calmed down by just any cat or dog saying that they want to get out of the mountain?
Where is there anything to be happy about!

Mo Qiu closed the letter and said earnestly: "Birds, I know they can fly; beasts, I know they can walk; those who walk can be called birds, those who walk can be called dragons, and those who fly can be called bamboo. As for dragons, I don't know how they can fly." Riding the wind and clouds to the sky. My friend is like a dragon and evil!"
