Spring and Autumn I Am King

ps: There is 1 chapter before 12:00

Confucius remembered that when he first came to Pingyi, he was still tender like summer grass. He went up the Wenshui River from Zhongdu area, rolled up his dark clothes and crossed the river in the shallow water, and rolled his ears and Qingping. Full of river banks, he climbed Dongshan Mountain in the north and became Xiaolu, and then climbed Mount Tai and made the world smaller!

Now, he is like an old tree that gradually withered after the autumn. The people are different, the scenery has changed, and the only thing that has not changed is this strong city. 【No pop-up window..】??A book 1?ka?n?r/>

The Wenshui flows slowly from the southern foot of Mount Tai, and it is already a big river when it arrives at Pingyi, and Pingyi is right in Qiyang, sheltered by the remaining veins of Mount Tai in the north, and the Wenshui River is used as a moat in the south. The outer guo of Pingyi is like a giant stone boat smashing the waves in the surging river. The sandstone walls are bathed in golden red sunlight, and it seems to be taller and thicker than before.

"It's really a place that is easy to defend and hard to attack." Confucius thought a little depressedly, it was a good choice for the Shusun family to make this place their main town, but the premise was that their unsatisfactory descendants had to be able to control this place. 's retainer.

"I have to break the city!" Now, the uncle Sunzhou, who has lost Pyi for many years, is furious and can only look at the city across the river. The city has been besieged for several days. Defend against his theoretical overlord.

Gongliangru, a disciple of Confucius, showed him the plan to besiege the city: "Master, our army has encircled the city of Phi, and the soldiers of Shusun's clan are stationed south of Wenshui; The people in the public office are controlled by me and placed in the east. In addition, many doctors and private soldiers recruited from around Qufu..."

He lowered his voice: "Many of them are not willing to come to the war. Fortunately, due to the orders of the monarch and the master, their disgust can only be stuffed in my heart..."

Confucius nodded, and he thought to himself: "Our alliance is not reliable at all, Sanhuan is incompetent, and the doctors are used to being rambunctious and submissive on the surface, but secretly they have been questioning how a mere scholar can be the prime minister. His loyalty is only superficial. If you want to continue the fall of the four capitals smoothly, Piao must be won as soon as possible. Delay is to encourage resistance, and encourage Hou Zun to take desperate risks."

The State of Lu has never lacked ambitions to steal the country...

And Confucius wanted to try to prevent them from appearing.

The three camps of the army besieging the city are as described by Gongliangru, and Shusun's camp on the south bank of Wenshui is the largest. But also the most confusing. ??Book 1ka?nsh. Looking up, the tents and campfires are so disorderly and spread everywhere, the nobles of the uncle-sun clan have set up their tents comfortably upstream of the drowning pond, and the downstream is full of filth. Small tents, bullock carts and pawns.

"Da Sima is a person who can't be idle. After a few days, he felt that the military life was boring, so he specially prepared games such as Nulu, cockfighting and Liubo." Gongliangru complained to Confucius a little indignantly: "He even I found an advocate for myself, and I spent the whole day playing in the camp, throwing all the matters of the siege to the housekeeper and me. If it wasn't for the master's order, I would have never wanted to do this Sima!"

The politicians are all scumbags, and being in the company of these people, Confucius can only be angry. Sometimes he thinks, is it really worth it to work hard for them like this? no no. It is not for the Shiqing Shilu of Sanhuan, but for the depressing Zhou Li, in the order of Zhou Li, whether it is a minister or a doctor, there is value in existence, as long as they don't arrogant in the future.

So he sighed: "Gou Li Sheji, is it a blessing in disguise? Zizheng, it's hard for you."

Confucius watched all the way and knew that what his disciple said was true, but his opponent was not so careless. At this moment, he saw the archers walking back and forth on the parapet of the city wall, and Hou Zun's flag fluttered in the wind.

"Although Hou Cun is a rebel, he is not a scheming one. This city is very heavily guarded." Confucius began to understand why the battle was so stalemate. With Shusun Zhouqiu as a handsome man, his soldiers would not work hard. It seems that Zilu should bring Ji's soldiers to encircle them earlier.

Of course, the first thing to do is to hold the axe and tomahawk given by the monarch and organize the camp. Righteous people!

The bones of the dozens of dwarfs under the Jiagu Huimeng are clearly visible to Confucius. Although he always felt that Zhao Wuxi had a different ambition, he was neither humble nor arrogant in the face of Qi people's oppression, but it was enough to make Confucius applaud!

It's a pity, he can only be the enemy after all...

...

So when a few days later, Ji's clan's Zai Zilu brought thousands of Ji clan soldiers, and Meng Sun He Ji came to the outside of Heji, the place had been renovated by Confucius, and it looked a bit chilly before the war.

Zilu looked at the stubbornly resisting Piaoyi, and was gearing up to build his career here. In the past two years, he has been the Sima of Yangguan, and then the slaughter of the Ji family.

Mengsun Heji was also eager to try, facing the threat of outsiders, Sanhuan united again, but he promised to fall to the four capitals on the condition that their family's Yuyi must be kept until the end before disarming. Yikan?Books 1?k?a?n?r/>

"If Hou Cun wants to stop the army of Sanqing, he will find his own way of death." He said confidently: "Our troops are six times his strength, and we have brought many siege equipment. In a few days, you will be able to easily take Pyong."

However, after two days of offensive, the attackers lost their troops and lost their generals, and Meng Sun Heji lost his previous self-confidence.

"Originally, the city was on the verge of collapse, but after the messenger from Xilu entered, he suddenly became more capable of fighting. I really don't know what news Hou Zun got..."

Since they can't attack by force, the only safe way is to surround them.

During the siege of the city, one must know that the grain supply in the city is empty or real, so Zilu asked, "How much grain is left in Qiyi?"

Gongliangru shook his head: "Hou Zun had already driven all the idle people who had nothing to do with the city's defense out of the city, and scoured the outside of the city. The food and grass he currently has stored is estimated to last for two whole years. Anyway, there is no way to starve his generation. ."

"Two years..." The corner of Confucius' mouth was bitter, he couldn't wait, and Lu Guo couldn't wait that long. "If it is delayed here for a long time, Hou Cun's reinforcements will bring the army to cover up from behind."

Everyone knew who Confucius was referring to as the reinforcements. They chose to keep silent at the same time. Fortunately, it was the end of September. Zhao Xiaosikou was still in the quagmire of the Song Civil War. Strengthened defenses in the direction of Xuju and Zhongdu.

The next few days were still in vain, Meng Sun He Ji looked anxious. "Should be damned!" He cursed: "Since we can't attack by force, we might as well abandon it and go straight to Xilu. Xilu is empty. It must be easier to remove than this!"

"Da Sikong, your words sound like a **** off boy." Confucius was the teacher of Meng Sun and Heji. Although the relationship between master and apprentice has now been exhausted, he still uses a sharp tone unknowingly: "Once the boy encounters resistance I don't want to go around it, or I want to push it down. As a minister of a country, you have to know that if Duoyun fails, the doctors of Lu country will start to wait and see, and the subsequent collapse and fees will become empty talk."

And if not as a last resort. Confucius did not want to face Zhao Wuxi directly, so where would Zigong, Ran Qiu and other disciples be at that time?

Zilu said angrily: "Since there is no retreat, there is only a strong attack. It is better to let You be the vanguard and command a team of daring men to attack the city gate."

Confucius glanced at Zilu and shouted: "You, I once said that when you march and fight, you are a violent tiger, Feng He, who will die without regrets. I don't want to work with him, because you will only give your life in vain. It will even affect others. I will only be with people who are cautious, good at planning and can get things done. Only in this way can I win.”

Listening to his rebuke, Mengsun Heji and Zilu blushed from their faces to their necks. "The boy is stupid, and I hope the master will teach me." They said softly.

After pondering for a moment, Confucius said: "Pianyi is on the verge of Qi State, and since the time of the Phi clan, he has liked to recruit chivalrous men. There are many chivalrous men in the old city, and the people like to fight bravely."

Uncle Sun state hatred. Mengsun, Heji and others were not sure what Confucius meant: "Light chivalrous? Are you brave and ruthless? What are you doing with these people?"

Confucius was utterly disappointed with these two officials, especially Mengsun Heji, who was wise in his early years, except for the form of etiquette. Have you taught him wisdom? He thought to himself, why is the current Meng Sun Heji servile to the outside world, but blunt and ignorant to the inside?

He directly named Zilu's name: "You, besides your courage, you have other talents. As long as you have a carriage, a horse, and a light coat, you are willing to share it with your friends, and you have no regrets in your own body. Lu and Wei were very close friends, and they were admired by Qingxia. There must have been many well-known friends in Qiyi. Hou committed tyranny and treated the people harshly. My minister, it will definitely arouse the anger of the people, you might as well sneak into the city to look for valiant men, gather the people who don’t want to rebel, and wait for us to beat the drums to attack the city, so that things can be done in the city, and then the big things can be settled!”

...

It was the turn of October again, just two years after the Yanghu Rebellion, when Piaoyi was finally captured from the inside by nearly 20,000 Lu troops.

Hou Zun's high-pressure military management and harsh policies led to bad consequences, and his actions of assassinating his adoptive father Ruo Miao and Gongzheng Sichi were also despised by Qingxia. Zilu sneaked into the city at night, gathered a group of opponents, and opened the outer city. Door.

The Lu army swarmed in, and the battle broke out in every lane in the city. Hou Zong fled from Ximen with a few cronies. They rode away on horseback. In the rush of lightning, Shusun couldn't stop him and told him to escape.

The overall situation of Pingyi has been decided, and only a few places are still fighting. Shusun Zhouqiu and Mengsun Heji also entered the city. They are now admiring Confucius.

"I originally thought that the Master was only good at archery and imperial art, but I guessed that he was also very good at military affairs!" Along the way, Meng Sun Heji was full of praise.

Confucius was not complacent, he just frowned at the killing in the city: "Da Sikong has praised it wrongly, I have heard about Zudou, and I have never learned about military affairs."

Shusun Zhou Qiu Daqi: "I haven't learned about the military, so why can the Master teach the future like Zizheng and Zilu, and still have a good plan to fix the town?"

Confucius said lightly: "In ancient times, gentlemen took loyalty and righteousness as their goal in life, and used benevolence as their guard. Although they did not stay in a small room, they were able to know great things that were thousands of miles away. If there are bad people, use loyalty and trustworthiness. come to influence him; those who are disturbed by riots, use benevolence and righteousness to make them stable. So, why should I rely on the army and force?"

He saluted the two ministers and said, "Since the city has been decided, the two of you can also preside over the removal of the military equipment. The destruction of the city wall is just a sign. The most important thing is to keep this city from rebelling!"

Just let Punyi return to the hands of the uncle Sun. Under his poor governance, after ten or twenty years, there will be another governor who is authoritative and traitorous? Confucius decided to end this endless cycle. He had many outstanding disciples, and he believed that their benevolence, righteousness and loyalty could turn Piaoyi into the state of Lu, not from the Shusun family.

Afterwards, he would recommend it as the deputy prime minister. Gongliangru and Zilu had already become the family chiefs and Sima of the two families, and they could no longer serve as two masters. Pingyi, why not let another disciple Zigao, who has outstanding ability and knows how to advance and retreat, govern it? It's a pity, Ran Qiu is not here, he said that his ambition is to be a city of a thousand houses, a family of hundreds of vehicles, and he can be slaughtered...

However, in the early morning of the next day ~www.wuxiahere.com~ Confucius had to put aside this plan temporarily. Gao Chai (Zi Gao), who was reporting news between Pyi and Qufu, came and brought important news.

"Master, I learned the news of Song State in Qufu. It is said that there is a war in Mengzhu Shuize." Zigao was sweating, and he pursed his lips and said, "We are a doctor who fled from Song State to take refuge. From what I heard, Zhao Xiaosikou and the Sicheng Le clan annihilated the troops of the Fourth Young Master, Zheng, and Wei, and beat the rebels to flee in all directions."

An ice-cold hand grabbed Confucius' heart. The distance between Pengyi and Shangqiu was at least a few hundred miles. The news was probably ten days ago.

"What is the current situation in the Song Kingdom?"

"Recent news that Zhao Xiaosikou and Le's family have now entered Shangqiu, and there are even rumors that Song Gong has died at the hands of the rebels, and Shangqiu's entire city is white." Gao Chai said, "In short, Song's civil strife has been settled. I think Zhao Xiaosikou will be able to return to Lu soon..." (To be continued.)
