"Everyone, don't be nervous. I'm Ma Feng, the commandant of Di Dao.”Ma Feng hurriedly cupped his fists and said.

"Ma Feng? That young general of Di Dao?"

" Definitely him. Look at how young he is. He's quite handsome…"

When this group of people heard that it was Ma Feng, they let down their guard and walked out of the crowd.

He cupped his hands at Ma Feng and said," This old man is Mo Tian. Greetings, Young General. My group of people came from Ji County. We want to go to Di Dao to avoid trouble. I wonder if Young General will allow us to do so?"”

Ma Feng casually cupped his hands and casually said,"Of course it's feasible."”

His attention wasn't on Mo Tian, but on the sabers in the hands of these strong men.

Ma Feng jumped off his horse and came to a burly man, asking,""Where did you get this saber? Forged from fine iron? It's really a good saber."

"I forged this myself. My saber is ordinary, but the saber forged by my senior brother is really good.”The brawny man said.

Ma Feng was surprised. There was a better saber? Or was it made by himself?

Only then did Ma Feng notice that almost every brawny man was carrying a huge hammer on his back.

Even though they wore thick winter clothes, it was obvious that each of them was quite strong.

"Are you all blacksmiths?" Ma Feng asked.

"No, no, we are not blacksmiths. We only know how to forge.”

"Then who are you?" Ma Feng asked in surprise.”

Mo Tian walked forward and cupped his hands." We are all disciples of the Mo Family. These are all my disciples."”

Ma Feng was even more surprised.

He really did not expect it to be the Mo family.

It was one of the Hundred Schools of Thought, but after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty abolished all the Hundred Schools of Thought and only respected Confucianism, all other theories were suppressed.

As a result, the Mohist School gradually declined and disappeared from the long river of history.

Who would have thought that hundreds of years after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Mo Family would still have an heir?

Ma Feng solemnly bowed to Mo Tian and said,"Master Mo, I wonder if you can go to Di Dao with me to resist Han Sui's rebel army?”

"Of course it's possible. Everyone in Liangzhou knows about the young general's reputation. Not to mention other things, the young general is several times better than Han Sui in terms of recruiting refugees.

We came from Ji County to help Young General.”

"Good, good. With Master Mo and the others joining us, we can definitely defend Di Dao and defeat Han Sui.”

Ma Feng was very excited.

The Mohists were probably the only doers among the Hundred Schools of Philosophy.

The other theories were mostly just glib talk, but the Mo Family was different. They were the only school of learning that could speak with their fists.

It was said that Mozi would only lecture his opponents after they were convinced.

Moreover, Mozi was an inventor. The most legendary thing was the wooden kite. It was like an airplane in the future, allowing people to fly in the sky.

There were also countless offensive and defensive weapons, such as ballistae, crossbows, borrowed chariots, and so on. He was quite knowledgeable.

On the way back to Di City, Ma Feng had also inquired about this matter.

If they could create awesome city defense weapons, that would be pretty good.

However, Ma Feng was a little disappointed when he asked.

The things that Ma Feng knew were indeed there. They were compiled into a book called Mozi: Prepare the City Gate.

It mainly talked about how to attack a city and how to defend it.

It had been passed down for hundreds of years, but by the time it reached Mo Tian's hands, many of them had been lost.

Because the Han Dynasty mainly used bamboo slips, which were heavy and numerous, many of them were slowly lost.

Mo Tian only had a few bamboo slips, the truly advanced weapons had all been lost.

This made Ma Feng feel quite regretful.

The only complete book Mo Tian had was the Book of Mohism, which recorded Mozi's teachings.

After the group returned to Di Dao City, Ma Feng arranged a place for the disciples of the Mo family to live and treated them with high standards.

He even borrowed Mo Tian's bamboo scroll to study it.

After making arrangements for his men to go to Zhang County, Ma Feng read Mo Zi's masterpiece.

After reading it, Ma Feng was still very shocked because Mozi's academic knowledge was very advanced. Even in modern society 2,000 years later, it still had its merits.

Especially after comparing it with Confucianism, the difference between the two was so great that it made people speechless.

The Confucianists advocated order, while the Mohists advocated equality.

Confucianism advocated the theory of bloodline, while Mohism advocated the theory of respecting sages.

The Confucians despised the laborers at the bottom, while the Mohists regarded the laborers as the main body.

The Confucianists ruled the country through rites and music, while the Mohists believed that rites and music were useless.

The Confucianists 'benevolence was based on the same class, and there were differences. The Mohist school's' universal love 'was equal love between people.

The Confucianists advocated the theory of predestination and the mandate of heaven, while the Mohist school believed that it was not predestined and that one's hard work could change one's fate.

The Confucianists catered to the preferences of the rulers and paid attention to etiquette, extravagance, and waste to reflect the order of seniority. The Mohists advocated "frugality" and "frugal burial".

Through comparison, it could be seen that the scholarly faction was a classic example of imperial techniques.
