(Commentary) Why did they lead an army and tear down Hou? Lead an army and tear down Fei? Confucius took charge of affairs under Jisun, and for three months nothing went against him, and he said: "Private houses do not store armor, and cities have no walls of a hundred zhi." So they led an army and tore down Hou, and led an army and tore down Fei. What is a zhi? Five boards make a du, five du make a zhi, and a hundred zhi make a city wall.
