But don’t think that only these seven vassal states existed at that time. In fact, among these seven In addition to the big countries, there are also many small countries. Wars are not only between big countries, but also various wars between small vassal states.
No, once, there were wars between Zou and Lu. A war broke out in the state. Because the state of Zou was weaker than the state of Lu, although Duke Mugong of Zou led the soldiers and civilians of the state of Zou to resist, the state of Zou was defeated in the end, and 33 of his officials were killed. None of the common people who participated in the battle died. During the battle, they seemed to be watching the fun and did not bother to charge and kill the enemy. Zou Mugong was very unhappy, so he found someone to vent his anger to. Fortunately, this person was not the person. The other person was Mencius, who was later called the Yasheng by the Chinese.
Duke Mu of Zou asked Mencius: "In this war, 33 of my officials were killed, but none of the common people did anything. They went to fight for their lives, but they saw their commander being killed and did not go to rescue them. It was really hateful! If I kill these people, there are too many of them and I can’t kill them all. If I don’t kill them, it’s hard for me to let go of the hatred in my heart. What should I do? "
Mencius spoke straightforwardly. Mencius said: "It's not the people's fault, it's your own fault.
"
Duke Zou Mugong's eyes widened, and it could be seen that he was quite surprised. But Mencius ignored him and continued: "I remember that one year there was a famine, and the old and weak people starved to death in the ravines and wilderness. Among them, there are as many as a thousand people in their prime who have fled to other countries. However, the king's granary is still full, and the treasury is also sufficient.

Think about it, you treated them like this back then, and they treat you with the same neglect today, so what can you complain about? "
Zou Mugong bit his lip and said nothing.
Mencius continued: "Zengzi has a saying, have you heard of it? "Zou Mugong shook his head.
Mencius continued: "Zengzi said: 'Keep it off! What is contrary to you is also contrary to you. ’ This sentence means, be vigilant! How you treat others is how others will treat you. Isn’t what is happening in Zou State the best explanation of Zeng Zi’s famous saying? Now that the people have a chance to retaliate, they must use the same method to treat those officers. ”
“What should we do?” "Zou Mugong felt that what Mencius said had some truth, so he asked humbly.
Mencius told Zou Mugong, "This is not difficult. You can implement benevolent government. If you implement benevolent government, the people will be grateful to you. They will also love and protect their superiors, and be willing to charge and kill the enemy for the country. "
