Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 384: Ritual and music conquest from the doctor

"It's probably another letter for help. Wei Guo is in the west and south, Robber Zhi is in the east, and the Qi people attack the north again. It's really hard to be a little Sikou. At his age, the widow is still fighting **** in the city of Lu. ..." Lu Hou smiled bitterly at himself, then waved his hand. network

"Well, even if the content is exactly the same, you have to open it up first, Xiao Zongbo, please tell Da Situ and Da Sima about this belief, and let them know how Xibi is now!"

Confucius agreed and took the letter written on the mulberry paper in the hands of the temple people.

After the great ceremony, affordable and easy-to-use paper gradually became popular in the state of Lu, where the literacy rate was high. Confucius was also accustomed to writing on this object and began to use it together with bamboo slips. The paper of this letter is smooth, even better than the one I used in Zong Bo's office, and I don't know what is in it.

After removing the red lacquer sealed with the black bird pattern seal on it, the beautiful and regular black seal characters come into view. Confucius knew that this was the handwriting of his disciple Gong Xihua.

Thinking of the young disciple who knew the etiquette, he followed him step by step to learn etiquette, elegant words, poetry and calligraphy when he was a child, Confucius couldn't help showing a faint smile behind his tendrils. Now, learn and excel, then serve.

Gong Xichi likes to have fun and prefers light fur and fat horses. He seems to be arbitrary, but in fact he is very stubborn. Last time, he insisted that the bamboo slips should not be discarded, but now he has proved that he is right. Although the paper is good, it is not enough to completely replace the slips.

According to Confucius' observation of Zhao Wuxi, this son has a good side. That is to be extremely benevolent to the people, he canceled the funeral, and Confucius also sighed at the degree of frivolity in the territory.

But he also has a bad side. Perhaps due to the influence of his father Zhao Yang, he acted unscrupulously and was scheming. Paper and other things that can promote education can naturally be used, but porcelain, extravagant techniques, etc., are mostly useless things that consume people's energy.

the most important. Although Zhao Wuxi behaved politely, Confucius was in his deliberately lowered eyes. There is no unconditional reverence for the monarchy, nor unconditional respect for the etiquette!

"Having Zigong, Ziyou, and Zihua by your side to help, maybe you can correct him a little bit?"

But these three disciples were not the most satisfactory to Confucius. Although he spoke highly of them, he added "I don't know what kind of benevolence is."

As Confucius thought about it, he opened the letter and read in a cadenced voice: "My servant Zhao Wuxi weeps blood and prays again..."

"It really is for help!"

Such a sad beginning made Luhou and Liu Xiaji look solemn. Ji Sunsi and Shusun Zhou Qiu looked at each other and laughed secretly in their hearts, but they had no intention of helping.

Confucius sighed, Zhao Xiaosi was about to suffer this time, and he was probably already red-eyed. I hope Ran Qiu and Gong Xichi can help him.

He continued to read: "The people of Qi are slipping pirates, and they control their troops in Jinan. They want to invade Lu. Ever since Huan and Duke Zhuang of Qi fought at Changshao, whenever the people of Qi are in trouble, they must first fight for Xibi, and they once attacked Wenyang and Zhanji. In the west, we captured Yuncheng three times. Fortunately, the spirit of Duke Zhou was able to protect it, but it was impossible to guard it. It is connected to Wei and Cao. It controls the key points of the three waters of Pu, Ji, and Wen. The throat, in the case of Lu, is like the mainstay of the palace."

"Master Qi has been mobilized in Dong'e and Pingyin, and it will come soon. We hope that the three masters, the left and right teachers, will come to help, just like the orphans hope for their parents, the long drought hopes for the rain, but there is no response. The scholar-bureaucrat and the The people panicked and said, 'Why did your Majesty abandon me?' Some people from Qi complied: 'It's better to come down to Qi as soon as possible'..."

"If Xibi is lost, and half of the state of Lu is gone, the people of Qi will be able to drive deep into the city, and Qufu will be in danger!"

The despair of the various cities in Xilu, once there is a danger of losing, Zhao Wuxi will come one by one, which can be said to be bitter.

But it's useless, it's not that he didn't mention these things, but without the strong Yanghu, Lu Guo seems to have his spine taken away. Sanhuan couldn't avoid Qi Shi's fear, where would he want to go to the Xibi lowland where "the land is flat and fertile, without the obstacles of big rivers and famous mountains, and the lost route is often the north-south tunnel" and the Qi people fought decisively?

Confucius was indignant in his heart, and his dissatisfaction with Sanhuan had reached the level of "tolerable and unbearable". He just wanted to throw the letter to them to read, but when his eyes turned to the content below, he couldn't help it. Read on.

"The minister has no sympathy, and is willing to accept orders in danger and turn the tide of the tide. When ordered in danger... Xilu has Dayi Yuncheng, Xuju, Zhongyi Zhen, Linqiu, Fan, Qin, Zhongdu, Xiaoyi and Gaoyu. One hundred thousand people, more than ten thousand victorious soldiers, if they can unite as one, the people of Qi will be able to fight, and Xilu can be protected..."

When Confucius finished reading a paragraph in his cadenced voice, the hall fell silent.

"Joint defense?"

"Xilu Mutual Insurance?"

Ji Sunsi and Uncle Sun Zhouqiu had imagined Zhao Wuxi's proposal, but they didn't expect it to be like this.

Next, Zhao Wuxi once again requested the Marquis of Lu and Sanhuan to send troops to support Xibi. At the same time, he once again declared that the doctors in Xibia were forced to helpless. Please legalize this joint defense and allow the doctors to meet at Linqiu and come to the alliance!

Ji Sunsi's fingers trembled in shock: "He, he actually wants to lead the alliance as a doctor?" He seemed to remember the last time he was forced to form an alliance by Yanghu at the Fifth Father's house.

Compared to the bamboo slips, which smashed and rattled when flipping through the pages, the letter paper was not heavy, not heavy at all. But for some reason, Confucius could feel the weight in it, and the weight of the broken ship of Lu Kingdom sank slightly!

...

Shusun Zhouqiu's duty is to be the Grand Sima and in charge of military affairs. After a while, he said, "Your Majesty, you must not agree!"

Luhou was also shocked at first, but then he showed a bitter smile.

"This is the only proposal for how to defend the Qi army in Xibi. Although it is a little inappropriate, can the Great Sima have a better suggestion? Or is it willing to be a semi-military soldier of the Shuai Shu Sun clan to perform his duties? "

Shusun Zhouqiu suddenly became miserable.

Zhao Wuxi's move is actually understandable for Luhou, Confucius, and Liu Xiaji, who are concerned about the safety of Xibi. After the continuous requests for help were fruitless, if they did not respond. That's not Zhao Wuxi's character...

It was just that Confucius felt that it was extremely irresponsible and shameful for the ruler to push Xibi's military affairs entirely on a Jin prince. But if you sit back and watch the doctor's alliance. That is trampling on the monarchy, and it will rise to the shame of all Lu!

The monarch is worried about humiliating his ministers, but since he can't come up with a better defense, he can't stop Zhao Wuxi and the doctors in other cities from "being in love with each other". If Lucheng did not send reinforcements, but still blocked it, it would really be forcing the West to subjugate Qi.

Ji Sunsi took the letter and swept it over, his eyes stayed at the end of the letter: "Zhao Xiaosikou actually made the doctors who are in charge of their own affairs unite. They wrote the letter together and looked at some neat signatures. It's just forcing me to submit! "

Except for Doctor Xuju, who has no signature, the other four masters in the eight cities, the two city leaders, including Zai Yu, a disciple of Confucius. Under the pressure of the Qi people, they had formed a political-military alliance headed by Zhao Wuxi, with 100,000 people and nearly 10,000 victorious soldiers, enough to make Sanhuan feel fearful.

Moreover, Confucius saw from the letter that this suggestion was only an afterthought: "Zhao Xiaosikou said that he should follow the right, and the Xilu joint defense meeting he presided over will be held in Linqiu soon, and the doctors will Arrived. If your Majesty issues a book today, maybe it can be delivered before the bloodshed..."

The implication and threat of these words are very clear, and the current situation is. Whether Sanhuan is willing or not, he cannot stop Xilu's joint defense against the enemy. This memorial was actually just a step for Marquis Lu and Sanhuan, and asked them to appoint Zhao Wuxi to put on a coat of etiquette for this behavior.

Sanhuan of Lu State was naturally compromising. Dare to bully the puppet Marquis Lu, and bully Ju, Zhu, Qi and others like their own small state. For the mighty Jin and Chu, he did his best to kneel and lick, and Qi Guo was also terribly afraid.

Therefore, when Zhao Wuxi pretended to ask for help, Sanhuan put on the air, and when he brought the combined power of the Western doctors, and when he showed his sharp edge in the letter, Ji and Shusun actually persuaded.

"If we don't agree, then they will go on according to this idea. I'm afraid that by then, the situation will be completely out of control, and Lucheng's order will no longer be able to enter Xibi..."

Liu Xiaji, who is in charge of Lu's foreign relations, also added: "If there is a war, Jin will not sit idly by, and Liu Qing would like Lu to block the attack of the Qi people. If Zhao Qing interferes in his country, he will definitely support this. The West Lu joint defense."

In this way, combined with the situation at home and abroad, the union of Xilu has become the general trend, and they can't be unhappy.

What's more, the year before the previous year at the Five Fathers' Qu, Luhou and Sanhuan were forced to join the alliance by Yanghu. They were the vassals and officials of the accompany ministers. Compared with Zhao Wuxi, the alliance between the doctors and the doctors was nothing. ?

Reluctantly, the Marquis of Lu, Ji and Shusun reluctantly admitted that Zhao Wuxi's behavior was in line with the etiquette, in order to restore the influence of Xibi's self-inflicted set-up, and let them join forces to meet the enemy, which is better than It is better to let the Qi people attack.

After the dust settled, Confucius walked out of the court and looked at the gloomy sky above the city of Lu. He secretly said a sentence in his heart: "There is no way in the world.

...

At the same time, the alliance of "first beheading and then playing" has also begun, with Zhao Wuxi as the main alliance, Qin Yi doctor, Gao Yu doctor, Fan Yi doctor, Zhongdu Zai Yu, and Ji Yi Zai all arrived. .

These towns are basically small towns with 2,000 rooms and 1,000 rooms, each with a population of about 10,000, and a total of 50,000. It is good to be able to send a brigade of soldiers each, and together they will win two or three thousand soldiers. With the four thousand people on Zhao Wuxi's side, we can barely make up nearly six or seven thousand people~www.wuxiahere.com~ has half the army.

If it is reasonably placed in the dangerous place of the border pass, and the people of Zhao Wuxi coordinate the deployment, it can resist the attack of the Qi Army's partial division.

However, the doctors are also a little uneasy. Taking refuge in Zhao Wuxi, who is powerful in the military, can be regarded as a self-protection method, but can he really come up with a strategy to defend against the enemy?

Zhao Wuxi was wearing a high crown today and wearing a Xuanduan court dress. He looked extremely majestic. He was surrounded by everyone, and he pointed to the map and deployed:

"Oyozawa has a large area of ​​ruins in the north of Xuju and Jiyi. Now the rainy season has just passed, and the Jishui and Pushui are flowing through, so it is extremely muddy, and the jungle is dense with shrubs. There are only a few narrow causeways for marching, leaving the dry This is our eastern defense line against the Qi army this time, the natural danger created by the rain and lakes and swamps!” (To be continued)
