Spring and Autumn I Am King

"Confucius went to Feiyi!" After hearing Zai Yu's words, Zhao Wuxi's heart skipped a beat. www.geiliwx.com

The territory of the state of Lu is in the shape of a dumbbell, the east and west are wide, and the middle is narrow, and Fei is the hub connecting the east and the west. Feiyi was located two hundred miles east of Qufu, about the same distance from Qufu to Yuncheng. It was close to Qi State, Ju State, and the Huaiyi area that had been controlled by Wu State, and its location was very critical. After Yang Hu was expelled, his party member Gong Shan Buju and his uncle Sun Yi rebelled against Feiyi.

This was originally the main city of the Ji clan, and it was also the largest city in the state of Lu outside of Qufu, with a household registration of nearly 20,000, which could recruit thousands of temporary soldiers. Because Gongshan Buju and Shusunyi held Shusun Zhouqiu, the head of the Shusun clan, and more than a thousand soldiers of the Shusun clan, they fled in the north of Yanghu, and after the robbers withdrew their troops, Feiyi became the largest in the state of Lu. The gathering place of the rebels is also a problem that Ji's urgently needs to solve.

According to the tasks assigned by Zhao Wuxi, Ji's and Meng's, Fei Yi was handed over to Ji's own to solve. Wu Xie had nothing to do with Fei Yi. Don't recover so quickly: if Ji Sunsi lacks this town, his strength will be halved!

But now Confucius was summoned by Gongshan Buju to go to that betrayal city. What was the intention?

Could it be that the sage of Confucius wanted to be a thief! ?

Zhao Wuxi couldn't imagine it, if this is true, it would be a joke to keep talking about the Confucian doctrine of respecting the emperor and keeping the order...

[…

Back in time three days ago, when Zhao Wuxi was chasing Robber Zhi on the bank of Yeze, Kongqiu, who was recovering in Zhongdu, received a silk book sent from Feiyi.

"Gongshan Fulu called me and said that if he was willing to go to Feiyi, he would be able to entrust him with important tasks, and he would like to conspire with me on great things. Destroy Sanhuan, and honor Lord Lu. I want to go..."

When Confucius summoned Zi Lu and Yan Hui and said this in front of them, Yan Hui was fine, but just waited quietly for the next paragraph, while Zi Lu reacted similarly to Zhao Wuxi.

He couldn't believe it. As the saying goes, "The ruler treats his ministers with courtesy, and the ministers serve the ruler with loyalty." The Marquis of Lu was not a wise master, but now Yanghu has just fallen from power. The state affairs of the State of Lu have improved a little, so why did the Master have to be summoned by the traitor Gong Shan Buju? Is this still the old master who taught them to be loyal to the monarchy by saying "you have a call, don't wait to drive", "enter the public gate, bow like a bow"?

He exploded on the spot.

Zilu was displeased and said with anger, "Although the master said that he would take the blame and resign from the post of Zhongdu Zai after the robbery subsides, but even if there is nowhere to go, you can't aggrieve yourself and you must go to Gongshan without being twisted!"

His voice was so loud that the stars splashed on Confucius' face, and the tiles on the roof of the house seemed to be shaking.

It was Yan Hui who said calmly, "Don't panic, Zilu, and let the Master continue."

Confucius wiped his face with his wide sleeves. With a smile, he said: "Gongshan did not call me, is it just empty words? If someone uses me, I can revive the Zhou ritual in the East and build a Western Zhou Dynasty in the East. Just like the old Central Capital... But it's up to you. Don't worry, I'm not going to betray this time, I'm going to save people."

"Rescue?"

"Of course. I'm going to rescue the Da Sima who was kidnapped, and the lost Gongshan Bujuan. Save the tens of thousands of people in Feiyi and save them from the disaster of the civil war..."

For Confucius' claim to want to ride this call from Feiyi. To rescue Shusun Zhouqiu, Zilu can understand, but why did the traitor Gongshan Buju want to rescue him? With the Master alone, how can those "subordinate thieves" be rescued?

Confucius said why.

"The defeat of Yanghu's party is their own fault, but I only feel sorry for one of them."

"Who?"

"It's Fei Zai, Gongshan is not arrogant!"

Gongshan Buju (also referred to as Fufu, Bufu), with the word Zixie, he, like Yanghu, is a retainer of the Ji family, and the two pillars that Ji Pingzi relies on. Although he had a ferocious face, he was friendly to Confucius. He had attended his lectures. After listening, he suggested to Yanghu to abandon his previous suspicions and ask Confucius, who was still a poor man at the time, to serve as an official. In a sense, he was the leader of Confucius. .

"It's a well-known etiquette, and this time it's just Sanhuan. It's somewhat similar to Nan Kuai who wanted to honor the imperial family and rebelled against Ji's family, and it's different from other rebels."

Gong Shan probably wanted to make a difference, so he sent someone to ask Confucius to help.

Although Confucius did not regard Gongshan as a traitor to the party, apart from him, I am afraid that no one in the entire Lu kingdom does not think so, and even Zilu expresses his incomprehension. If he went to seek refuge at this juncture, he would probably be criticized by thousands of people.

After Robber Zhi attacked Zhongdu, after arguing with him under the Zhongdu city, Confucius was in a state of mental depression, but he was originally a tough person, and as his injury improved, he gradually began to think about it.

"It's a heresy attack, and it's already harmed!"

To study heresy, this way is very harmful to oneself!

He believes that Confucians do not necessarily have to be better than robbers in words, but only need to keep their hearts and minds, and robbers do not need to pay too much attention to all kinds of sophistry.

After making up his mind to take the blame and resign from the post of Zhongdu Zai, Confucius felt sorry for the people of Zhongdu, but he seemed relieved. The administration in the Central Capital in the past two years has had a huge impact on him. Some of his retributions are no longer in empty words, but in deeds, and the disciples have also gained experience. The lessons of those failures have been passed through his mind in the past few days, and at the same time, he has begun to look at the overall situation of Lu from the perspective of a bystander.

"Although Yanghu has occupied Guancheng, it is no longer the biggest calamity. Although the robbers are rampant for a while, Zhao Xiaosikou should be able to exterminate them and drive them out, so the current problem in Lu is only Feiyi... …”

Just at this time, he received Gongshan Buju's call, and planned to go.

This is not a thief, but to follow Zilu's move to persuade Yangguan to surrender, and to persuade Gongshan not to turn back to the state of Lu, and to return the uncle Sun!

"You, go back, you two are willing to go with Shidong, this is a full three hundred miles away, even if you keep on the road, it will take half a decade to arrive. At that time, it is life or death. not sure."

Zilu said: "Even if the Master is floating in the sea on a raft, Zhongyou is willing to live in the Jiuyi land thousands of miles away in the east, and Zhongyou is willing to be attached to Weiji. Row and drive for the Master, not to mention Feiyi, which can be reached in a few days!?"

Yan Hui saluted and said, "Yan Hui is also willing to serve the Master."

then. A two-horse chariot set off for the east. The tall, modest-looking Confucius sat on the safety chariot with his injured leg bent, still holding the bamboo scroll, as if this was just an ordinary trip. With straight eyebrows and broad eyes, and a simple and amiable expression, Yan Hui, whose clothes were rather old, waited quietly beside him. With a thick beard on his face and a long sword pinned to his waist, the warrior Zi Lu held four bridles and looked directly at the east.

Behind the Zhongdu wall. It was the disciples who came to see them off, and Zai Yu was among them.

So when Zhao Wuxi returned to the Central Capital, he heard Zai Yu report the matter.

Zai Yu was a little worried: "A gentleman doesn't stand on a dangerous wall. I think it's rather unwise for Master to take risks this time."

Although Confucius and Gongshan Buju used to have some friendship, the future of this trip is still uncertain, even though it is said that the Zhouyi fortune-telling is "hundreds and seventy", that is, Confucius with an accuracy rate of 70% for this adventure. Good luck.

"This statement is too bad, it doesn't go into the tiger's den. How can you get a tiger child, Confucius is so bold and has a good vision!" Although it is not appropriate to use this sentence as a metaphor, this is the courage that Confucius should have.

It seems that this person who can influence the thinking of Chinese people for two thousand years cannot be underestimated.

This adventure of Confucius will definitely be approved by Ji Sunsi, who confronts Fei Yi, and if Zhao Wuxi wants to continue to let the Confucius disciples serve. You can't stop it, you can only let the situation develop.

Now Confucius is relying on his own strength. Completely jumped out of the situation under Zhao Wuxi's cloth, fortunately many talented Confucian disciples have entered the urn...

...

Robber Zhi after escaping. He has also returned to a small island in the middle of Onozawa, which is his main lair. He was not reconciled to being a **** for Zhao Wuxi to support the pirates, but began to think about the pain and reflect on the reason for this failure.

In the previous confrontation, he felt that he could not beat Zhao Wuxi head-on, so he had the intention to retreat, and let thousands of robbers under him evacuate in batches. The tail was bitten. In a fierce battle on the edge of the South Lake, Robber Zhi was forcibly pushed onto the boat by his subordinates to escape, and he could only watch the thousands of elites around the lake fight for him, killing nearly a hundred enemies, and losing more than half of himself, but at least let Zhao Wuxi I know, the thief is not a fish belly!

Although he was obsessed with Zhao Wuxi and wanted to strike back and take revenge immediately, but the troops were exhausted and their morale had been taken away, so Robber Zhi had no choice but to give up. On this day, he summoned all the "masters" and "commanders of the brigade" in the group of robbers to gather together, and said to them: "Two or three sons, this early winter robbery, our army was 9,000 people, but more than a thousand Zhao's sons were killed. People have been defeated one after another, and you have thought about why not?"

The group of thieves looked at each other in dismay. This was the reason why the thief Zhi was able to become a "general". He would analyze the current situation and draw lessons from it, while most thieves would only finish today and not think about tomorrow.

After a while, someone said timidly: "It was Zhu Lou who didn't listen to the general's words and suffered a crushing defeat first, forcing us to face Zhao Wuxi's strong army."

Someone also said, "It's Kancheng's strong city. We have insufficient siege equipment, so we couldn't attack it for a long time. In addition, Zhao Wuxun was cunning and the night attack was fruitless, so we gave him a chance!"

Robber Zhi shook his head and said, "All of what you said is correct, but the main reason is not this."

"I was adored by everyone as a general, and I have been leading the bandits for several years. At first, I had no soldiers, and I didn't know the team, let alone the formation method! Although there were 10,000 people, they were all in vain. There are so many women and children in it that even the city soldiers can't beat them."

The group of thieves are basically peasants who have fled, and even the savages who have always lived here. Escape from the ground is obviously not conducive to combat.

"But now, I use the tactics I learned in Lucheng to reorganize and practice. When facing the enemy in battle, it is difficult for women and children to be of great use, so I separate the women and children from Ding Zhuang, and the women and children form a camp alone, stay in the nest, and use Ding Zhuang was the main force in the battle. Later, he organized troops, taught flag drums, and practiced formations, with nine thousand soldiers. In terms of military strength, it can be said that the military strength is not weak, and the orders after Zhu Lou's death can be said to be different. On weekdays, I personally lead the attacking soldiers. It's like a tiger chasing a sheep. However, when I met Zhao Wuxi, I was defeated so badly that I didn't dare to confront him from the front. question."

"Tactics?"

"Yes, looking at Zhao Wuxi, he is quite different from ordinary generals. He doesn't like to use chariots, but uses light cavalry to attack, and is used in line with various arms. Zhan, etc., are good at fighting in the field with dignified and upright divisions, and cooperate with some odd tactics, so we can be invincible. Although we also have a system, but the formation is loose and the temperament is out of touch. I want to be like dealing with other Lu soldiers. Fighting him head-on is like using my shortness to defeat the enemy's longness, how can I be unbeaten!"

The group of thieves deeply agreed with this, nodded again and again, and said, "What the general said is very true! What should we do next?"

"Zhao Wuxi is now in the west of Onozawa. In the future, he will inevitably become an enemy of us. I plan to deal with him in the same way that Sun Wu and Wu members of Wu State defeated Chu State!"

"Sun Wu, Wu member's tactics?" Wu Zixu's revenge story is widely circulated, and even many people in the group of thieves have heard of it, but Sun Wu acts in a low-key manner, but few people know about it.

Thief Zhi said: "I heard that ten years ago, Sun Wu and Wu members proposed to Wu Wang Helu that the enemy should be exhausted first, and the enemy should have missed the enemy due to the fact that the king of Chu was young, the officials were at odds, and the capital of Chu was far from the east. The tactics of the decisive battle. The Wu army is about to be divided into three parts, a sudden attack on the state of Chu and a rapid retreat, taking turns to invade the border areas, the Chu aid will retreat, and the aid will come back again, and when the Chu army is exhausted and its combat effectiveness is weakened, wait for an opportunity. Concentrate on attacking with all your strength. Helu listened to their advice, and the gigantic state of Chu has been tired since then."

The group of thieves straightened their eyes when they heard it, but the thief Zhi sighed: "It's also because the troops of Lu and Cao countries are too infrequent, and they often dare not leave the city when they see us, so they are careless and forget about our group of thieves. Isn't the best thing that Sun Wu and Wu members do? The thieves never need to fight the official army, but to make them unable to catch us at all, and they are exhausted."

Robber Zhi's eyes were bright, and after reflection, he felt that the power of a group of thieves was not in gathering, but in dispersing. This time Zhao Wuxi went south, if he could break the robbers into pieces, spread them out completely, and retreated from the road and the river net to Onozawa, the loss would be even smaller.

"In addition, Zhao Wuxi's soldiers are not accustomed to water, which is also what our group of thieves are good at. In the future, whether going out to loot or attacking cities, we must take long boats with shallow drafts, do not go deep inland, and do not leave the boats that can sail. If the enemy comes, they will retreat, take a boat to the other side of Daze and continue to loot and attack the city. If things go on like this, Zhao Wuxi will be exhausted!"

...

Zhao Wuxi didn't expect that ~www.wuxiahere.com~ his indiscriminate entry made Robber Zhi helpless, so he began to use tactics similar to guerrilla warfare, and used long boats to enter the shallow river, looting along the river, and the Vikings of later generations. Pirates traverse Western Europe in a similar way.

At this time, he had already started his journey westward to the newly acquired fief Yuncheng. He learned from Zhang Mengtan that a guest from Song State was waiting for him there...

ps: "The Analects of Confucius. Yang Huo": Gongshan is harassed by the fee, called, and the son wants to go.

"Historical Records. The Family of Confucius": Gongshan did not ask for the help of the Ji family to call for Confucius. (To be continued...)
