I heard Li Ran approach the window sill with his hands behind his back, and while looking out, he said calmly:
"The Guo family is an old honor of the Qi State, while Tian Qi is a new noble. There must be resentment between the two. Tian Qi pushed Guo Xia to lead troops here, intending to use this as an opportunity to weaken the Guo family."
"Guo Xia is not a stupid person, so as long as we state our interests to him and persuade him to retreat, it should be a sure thing!"
After hearing this, Sun Wu still spoke cautiously:
"It's just that... Tian Qi now has the trust of the Marquis of Qi, and the attack on Lu was personally decided by the Marquis of Qi. Does Guo Xia really dare to disobey the king and stop the army? Besides, he will have to go deep into the enemy's camp. Is this move a good idea?
Is it too risky?"
Li Ran couldn't help but sigh:
"It is a matter of great importance for the survival of the Lu State. Since I am in the Lu State, how can I sit back and do nothing?"
Fan Li said:
"Sir, Li is also willing to go with you!"
Li Ran waved his hand.
"Young uncle, you should stay with Guang'er at home. As long as Changqing and Miss Yue are here, I will be fine."
Li Ran was determined. When Sun Wu saw this, he didn't say anything more and immediately left to make arrangements.
When Gong Eryue learned that she had the opportunity to go to the front line, she was extremely excited and started preparations immediately.
When Confucius heard Li Ran's invitation, he immediately came to meet him.
When Li Ran saw him coming, he immediately said straight to the point:
"Zhong Ni, now the Lu State is in danger, so I am going to go to the Qi camp to persuade the Xia State to withdraw their troops!"
When Confucius heard this, he couldn't help being shocked:
"Ah?! Is my benefactor's move too dangerous?"
"If that's the case, why not let Qiu go! How can we put our benefactor in danger?"
Unexpectedly, Li Ran resolutely shook his head and said:
"Zhongni is from Lu, and he served as an official in the state of Lu. Although Zhongni is familiar with the monarchs and ministers of the state of Qi, he is probably not suitable as a lobbyist. And after all, Li is the Taishi of the Zhou royal family, so I am the only one who can do this.
It’s the most suitable.”
"Besides, it is not Li who can discuss the key issues in the affairs of Qi, so it is better for Li to do it in person!"
When Confucius heard this, he stroked his beard and realized that what Li Ran said was not unreasonable, so he could only sigh:
At this time, Li Ran continued to speak:
"Actually, the reason why I called my brother here was because I had a request. Brother Zhongni must be careful to guard every place in the city during these days, and no omissions should be allowed. Now that Yang Hu and Sanhuan are not in the city, the people of the country are uneasy, so Zhongni is needed.
You have to be careful!"
Confucius nodded and said:
"Qiu will certainly take care of this. Qiu has many disciples. With them here, I just ask my benefactor to take it easy."
…
After explaining the affairs in Qufu City, the next day, Li Ran, Sun Wu and Gong Eryue, took Chu Dang with them, took advantage of the darkness, set up a carriage and headed straight to the front line.
After running for two days, Li Ran and others finally arrived at Yang Hu's camp.
When Yang Hu heard that Li Ran had arrived, he couldn't help but be overjoyed:
"Oh! Sir, come here, there is hope for the Kingdom of Lu!"
Yang Hu knew Li Ran's intention, so of course he showed great enthusiasm.
However, Li Ran was extremely indifferent to Yang Hu. He ignored him and walked directly in front and entered the Chinese army's tent.
Yang Hu led the generals to follow.
Li Ran was not polite. After entering the Chinese army's tent, he sat in the middle and gave orders:
"Sun Wu obeys the order!"
Sun Wu didn't hesitate and immediately stepped out:
"Tonight at Unity Time, Chang Qing will lead the Chinese army to attack the Qi army's camp! We can only feint to attack and lure the enemy!"
Sun Wu immediately cupped his fists and bowed:
"As you command!"
Afterwards, Li Ran swept across the Lu generals with great force and continued to give orders:
"Yanghu!"
When Yang Hu heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned!
He suddenly realized that it seemed that he had not faced such a sense of oppression for a long time. At this moment, Li Ran was like Ji Pingzi back then, yelling at him directly, but without any violation. feeling.
"Yanghu!"
Following another order from Li Ran, Yang Hu quickly moved out of the queue involuntarily:
"exist!"
"Yang Hu can lead Ji's army and lie behind the central army. If Sun Wu fails to lure the enemy, you can step forward to respond!"
Yang Hu also cupped his fists and bowed:
"promise!"
Li Ran finally focused his attention on Gong Lianyang.
"Gong Lianyang!"
Gong Lianyang heard the order and did not dare to disobey, so he immediately went out to the queue.
"Gong Lianyang can lead the Meng family's army and give him two people in the rear. If the whole army comes to pursue them, it will be you who will repel the enemy!"
Gong Lianyang also bowed strangely and responded with a "promise".
After Li Ran finished giving the order, he immediately stood up and spoke to the generals:
"Today we are all united to attack me, everyone must not wait for it! All departments must work together and do not take advantage of personal gains and neglect. If there is anyone who refuses to comply, military law will be enforced!"
When all the generals heard this, they also shouted in unison:
"yes!"
After Li Ran gave the order, everyone retreated, but Yang Hu was the only one who refused to leave.
"Mr. Ziming..."
Li Ran indeed waved his hand:
"Yang Hu, there is no need to say more. Li came here only to solve the difficulties of the Lu State. Li still said the same thing, please take care of yourself in the future, and don't let small things cost you big things!"
Hearing Li Ran's words, Yang Hu seemed to be pulled back to Yuncheng at that time. He shrank back and did not dare to reply...
That night, Li Ran, escorted by Chu Dang and Gong Eryue, took a detour to the rear of the Qi army camp and waited for any movement in front of it.
Sure enough, as soon as the Youshi hour came, Sun Wu led the Lu army and began to attack the Qi camp.
When Chu Dang saw this, he couldn't help but start gearing up:
"It's starting! It's starting! I will carry Mr. Yue on my back and Miss Yue will be escorting me. I will rush directly to the enemy camp and towards the Chinese army's tent!"
Gong Eryue scolded from the side:
"Idiot! Although the Qi camp has been disturbed, it is not completely defenseless! How can it be such a childish thing?"
Chu Tang scratched his head, but he was not convinced at all:
"What's so difficult about this? I didn't fight in and out of the camp back then, so I just treated them like nothing!"
Gong Eryue was so angry that she didn't bother to talk to him.
At this time, Li Ran observed for a while and then said:
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "In that case, Chu Dang, you can sneak into the camp first and lure away the guards of the tent so that Miss Yue and I can sneak in!"
Chu Dang obeyed the order and left, leaving only Li Ran and Gong Eryue.
After Chu Dang left, Li Ran said apologetically:
"I'm really sorry for letting Miss Yue take a trip into this muddy water and putting herself at risk."
Gong Eryue shook her head and said excitedly:
"What's this?! Speaking of which, my eyes were really opened today. I didn't expect that a nerd like you could have such authority?!"
"Do you know that the way you acted in the big tent just now was so heroic? Moreover, even though you thought you were powerless, you actually wanted to sneak into the enemy camp in a whimsical way! It's really enough.
Courage!"
"I am lucky enough to have my eyes opened today, but what else do I regret?"
Li Ran said frankly:
"It's just... this trip is extremely dangerous. If there is an accident, please let the girl get out first and don't be delayed by Li."
When Gong Eryue heard this, she couldn't help but sneer:
"What are you talking about! You are not afraid, how can I still lose to you?!"
Gong Eryue's reply was also very firm. When Li Ran saw this, he also smiled slightly.
After a while, I saw another commotion in the enemy camp:
"Quick! There's an assassin!"
Obviously, Chu Dang succeeded.
Afterwards, Gong Eryue sneaked in secretly with Li Ran.
Since it was approaching dusk at this time, the torches in the camp had not yet been lit, and the Lu Kingdom suddenly attacked again. Therefore, the whole camp seemed a little dark for a while.
Coupled with the fact that Chu Dang lured all the guards away from the tent, Gong Eryue saw the right opportunity, grabbed Li Ran's hand and rushed into the camp.
Gong Eryue used her own skills to get rid of the two guards and sneaked into the inner camp.
Another guard was caught and asked about the location of the coach's tent. Gong Eryue knocked the man unconscious with a knife and stuffed him into a dark place to hide. The two of them went straight to the tent.
At this time, Guo Xia was still walking back and forth hesitantly in the camp.
He himself was not very willing to go on this expedition, but Tian Qi, who had always been difficult to deal with, was particularly supportive of Valu, which inevitably made him confused.
"Tian Qi, Tian Qi, what are you hiding in this gourd? Is it possible... that it's really just to punish the State of Lu?"
Gong Eryue used her sword to cut a hole in the tent, then ducked in, followed closely by Li Ran.
When Guo Xia saw someone breaking in, he quickly stood up, pulled out the sword from his waist, and was about to shout the word "assassin" when he saw Li Ran salute and said with a smile:
"Doctor of the State! My Excellency, Li Ziming, is here to see you!"
