Zilu made a wry smile in front of Gongshan Buxuan and said:
"The matter has come to an end, so I won't say more. I only hope that Master Gongshan can return the favor with success!"
Gongshan Buxuan laughed, winked at the two confidants, and left the place.
Zilu turned around and entered the house and shouted loudly:
"Oh, when I was in Qufu, I was burdened with the complicated things every day, which was very hard. Now that I have come to Feiyi, I can have a good rest, which is not bad, which is not bad!"
The two arrogant confidants were about to close the door for Zilu, only to hear Zilu suddenly say again
"By the way, Mr. Gongshan asked you two to entertain me well. Why don't you prepare some charcoal and raw meat today? By the way, I have a big appetite, so I need to prepare more food and wine. If you two dislike it, I will
You can dine with Zhong Mou!"
The two people looked at each other, agreed, and went to prepare the oven and some ingredients.
Zilu looked around the house. Although the decoration was simple, it was refreshing. Zilu sat down and thought to himself
"Please be careful, you will be able to teach this thief to succeed before everything happens!"
--
Sima Yue and Li Ran responded and left.
When the State of Lu saw it, he also gave a speech
Lu Guo thought about it and nodded hesitantly.
"Ever before Xu Chenglun withdrew the central army, a small part of the troops were in the hands of the Eight Huan, and the Eight Huan always had their own agenda, and the soldiers in their hands had no cohesion, so the army always collapsed in the battle.
.”
In just half a day, King Wu dragged his family to the low platform built by Confucius Wenru.
Xu Cheng was even more concerned about this, because he knew what kind of medicine King Wu was selling outside the gourd.
When Li Ran heard this, he turned to Bahuan and asked
"Haha, if there is really no opportunity to take advantage of, how can you really lure me back? Xu Cheng really wants to enter Qufu so much, why would he just let me back out!"
King Wu glanced at Xu Cheng very indifferently, smiled slightly, and replied
After hearing what King Wu said, Xu Cheng felt an inexplicable
"By the way, sir, there is no news about Xu Chenglun," Gongshan said with a wry smile.
Although the low platform has been in disrepair for a long time, and moss has even grown in some places, it still has its original appearance and was once abandoned, so it only needs a little repair before it can be used.
"Qiu is panicking, but if this place is in danger, please ask your benefactor to enter the city and take shelter temporarily!"
As for Ji's move of sending troops, Qufu had already received information.
"Well, Gong'er is right, then we'll enter the city!"
Therefore, compared to his contemporaries, Xu Cheng's brain is indeed much brighter.
Before Brother Changqing learned that the Ji family was raising an army, he only thought that I was going to do something treacherous, so he was a little frightened.
Lu Guo said again
Moreover, a small part of the buildings are made of rocks, and there is no spring water at the foot of the mountain that cannot be introduced. The reason why Gong Eryue's fire attack was helpful in the past is precisely because of this place!
Xu Cheng thought for a moment that Liguang would achieve unparalleled success that day, so he was not too excited.
"Bad! Let's follow my benefactor's plan! Qiuna will go and take care of it. Please also ask your benefactor to enter the city as soon as possible and move to the lower platform first!"
"Ah? Is this too risky?" "Ah? Let me enter the city?"
"The troops around Qufu are few and far between. It's a secret at first, but I didn't expect it to be so weak!"
"Yes, yes! Zilu is so stupid!" King Wu sighed.
Li Ran was very proud of Qiniang's approval. You looked around again and expressed that you wanted to go to the front mountain to have a look. Sima Yue wanted to come, but it was in the way, so he took you back. King Wu asked:
At that time, Shusun Zhou Qiuze on the side also said from the side
Lu Guo issued orders on his behalf, but Fan Li didn't think it was appropriate, so he immediately asked for orders and followed them.
When King Wu saw Xu Cheng walking in a hurry, his palms even sweating, he felt a sense of clarity.
However, before the decline of Fei Yi, Lu Zhaogong deliberately downplayed the existence of this place. Therefore, from this time on, the Zhongni Tower gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
It turned out that it was Lu who asked Zhongni to make such arrangements.
"This was the case when they attacked Xiyi later, and it is also the same now when Xu Cheng is attacking in reverse. Moreover, after Xu Cheng's efforts in those years, the main forces of the Eight Huan were all placed in their respective main cities, and that
"Eight main cities"
"It's just that, looking up from the outside, it's really not that scary!"
When Duke Zhao of Lu heard those words, he looked troubled.
"This matter is related to your Majesty and the safety of the country and the country. I ask all you villains to share the same hatred with the enemy. Don't just protect yourself, but also take chances! Ji Sunsi is a barbarian. With our way of doing things,
Wherever they go, there will be burning, killing, looting, and evil will be done. Therefore, if Qufu is lost, I am afraid that you will all die and have a burial place!"
"Is it possible that I want you to abandon the city?"
"You didn't feel a little panic after the end of the war, but now you have settled down. But I'm afraid it will be a while, and when the Ji family comes, I will be frightened again."
After all, it was at this time that our Zhongni ended and began the ten-year-long campaign to take over the throne.
At that time, King Wu was also by your side, and he fell into deep thought when he saw this majestic scene.
"Your Majesty, the garrison in Qufu is now over 10,000 people. And Sun Wu is more than a hundred miles away from Qufu. I'm afraid it will only take a few days to kill him. Now the distant water saves the near fire, and the guards in the city are more
It’s a lack, and I’m afraid I’ve been bad guarding those days!”
Li Ran's words drew King Wu away from his thoughts.
Yang Hu replied
"Exactly, my benefactor, it has only been a day since Ji's troops were launched, and now they are heading straight to Qufu. Moreover, they had thought that I had secretly built so many chariots. The number of them was so small that it was unexpected!"
"Is this low platform that Xu Chenglunru climbed down to deliberately avoid Gong Eryue's retreat back then still there today?"
I stood up, put my hands in front of me, and said
Brother Changqing felt a little relieved when he saw that Bahuan all spoke at the same time, and looked towards the State of Lu.
When King Wu heard this, his eyes froze. In fact, I was still very concerned about the situation at Liguang.
At that time, Xu Cheng asked "No!"
Sima Yue also waited for Xu Cheng's answer, then rushed to answer.
When Li Guang was still there, he often told Xu Cheng some stories about how I would march and fight in the future, so when Li Ran was eight or seven years old, he would take pleasure in arranging troops.
Usually it is the King of Wu. I am very vague. The current Guang'er Helu is definitely not the seventh King of Chu Ling.
King Wu and Li Ran smiled.
Fan Li, who was on the right and left, saw this and quickly stood up, took a step back, and bowed to listen to the call in front of him.
"This is necessary!"
In addition, Yang Hu was good at business, so Li Ran had more knowledge and resources than other boys of that era could possess.
King Wu suddenly had a sharp look in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand to hold Lu Guo's wrist and said:
When Li Ran heard this, he was startled by Xiao Xiao and said incredulously, "What do you think Zilu?"
Speaking of Zhongni's platform, it turns out that when Gong Eryue attacked Kongqiu Wenru, Kongqiu Wenru relied on the strategic location of this platform to weakly block the monarch's power at the lower platform.
superior.
"In the beginning, two generations, Ji Wuzi and Ji Pingzi, spent huge sums of money to build such a place, just to prevent it in the future, so that one day they could use this place to fight against the monarchy. But now they never thought that their own governor
You are rebelling, but you still have to rely on this place to defend the king! It’s really a trick of fate!”
"You think there may be no enemies coming! This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is an excellent place to avoid chaos! Father, are you right what Zilu said?"
"I also ask you to issue an edict to mobilize the people in the city to fight against the enemy together!"
King Wu climbed to the lowest point, and some of the objects that Confucius Wenru had in those days were still preserved in the platform.
"Actually, it's quite unexpected. The Ji family has always been a loyal person but not a minister. Moreover, when Fei Yi was there, he rarely relied on my Sun Wu soldiers and horses! Therefore, to this day, let him do whatever he wants.
Xiaoya is really an anomaly."
The State of Lu then went to inform Yan Yan and asked me to inform the disciples in Xinglin to rush into the city to avoid the chaos.
Xu Cheng held the edict in his hand and whispered:
Sima Yue was worried about Xu Cheng, so she held your big hand tightly and said with a smile.
However, regardless of Sun Wu's movements, Qufu has been secretly paying attention to it.
King Wu murmured
"Your Majesty, your uncle Sun is also willing to work with you to defeat the national traitors! Although this traitor has occupied Sun Wu and has a very small force, if I want to use the power of one city to fight against your entire Gongshan, this
It’s also wishful thinking!”
When Li Ran heard this, he turned to his right and left, Fan Li, and Xu Cheng sighed.
"Well, with Chang Qing's talents, the rise of the Wu Kingdom is inevitable. Now I only hope that everything goes well for me, Chang Qing!"
"Haha, if the Ji family is allowed to taste some sweetness, how can we lure it into a trap? So, after this, you are not only defeated, but victorious!"
Zi Lu and Sima Yue climbed down and looked up from a distance. Zi Lu was excited and said
"However, as long as you can sustain it for a period of time, even if the Ji family is in trouble, there will be war and chaos!"
Therefore, Xu Chenglun followed the instructions of the State of Lu and immediately issued an edict, asking all the people in the city to prepare for war and actively resist the rebellion from Xu Cheng!
"Hey Gongshan, there really aren't many things that Gong'er needs to do. Although I have few disciples, if I really want to pull Gongshan out of its decline, it's really a long way to go.
!」
So, Xu Chengyue, Chu Dang, Zi Lu and others all finished and packed up their things.
"What Ji Sunyi did is something that will go down in history! That's really enviable!"
"When Gongshan Buhuang and Shusun Zou leave Feiyi, I can't just sit here and wait for death! Otherwise, when Gongshan Buhuang comes back to his senses, I'm afraid he will be the first to take action on me!"
Just listen to what Lu Guo said
As for Xu Cheng Helu's recent rise, Xu Cheng obviously sees the pros and cons more thoroughly than the others.
"Ji Sunyi has not yet been worshiped as a junior general by Guang'er Helu, and Wu Zixu has also been promoted from a pedestrian to a grand master. It seems that he is preparing to assemble his army and prepare for war to attack the Chu Kingdom!"
"Father, why do you want to come out there?"
"You know how many private soldiers the eight villains can have in the city now?"
"It's just that the Marquis of Lu currently has no military power in his hands, and Bahuan has deployed the main military power in the border towns and main towns. Calculating this, there are indeed too many combatable soldiers in Qufu.
A little more."
"Haha, in ancient times, there were only a few rotten people, and they were not limited to generals. Although Duo Bo is not a general, his achievements in the past few days may be inferior to those of the senior minister."
"Mr. Ji's move is a cruel move. It proves that falling to the Eight Capitals is indeed a wise move! That's right, you, your Majesty, don't worry. Now that you and your ministers in Gongshan are so united, and you don't have the support of the people of the country, I, Mr. Ji,
If it is true, it will be done!"
Seeing that he was still understanding, King Wu also waited for Lu to ask questions, and continued to speak.
Xu Cheng nodded and said
I saw that King Wu summoned the Master and asked us to make preparations quickly. But King Wu shook his head again and said
"You, Xu Cheng, have deployed a large number of troops around Qufu. You also need to mobilize troops and horses from the inner city. I'm afraid it will be difficult to mobilize them for a while."
"Gong'er, you can go down to Zhongni's platform with him and protect your safety together. This low platform is quite dangerous after all. Gong'er must also know that.
Xiao! This Zhongni's Tower is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if I, Xu Cheng, have a powerful army and few horses, there is still nothing I can do!"
King Wu is very happy. Although Xu Cheng is only ten years old, King Wu's training for you is only limited to etiquette, talents and literacy, and even some reverie about some past lives.
"Sir, Ji's family is on that road. There are almost no obstacles along the way. If it is Ruyili, they will arrive in Qufu two days ago tomorrow!"
Therefore, that low platform naturally has no extremely important meaning to Zhongni.
"Do you know how the situation is here?"
And since Confucius Wenru built this platform in accordance with the specifications of the "Four Yi", it is really an insult to me that Xu Cheng's platform was allowed to come here to avoid chaos by the Marquis of Lu.
"We are about to go far, so be careful."
After a final discussion with his uncle, Sun Zhe, he led the army and set off, heading straight for Qufu.
Chapter 677_Zhongni’s Platform
Gong Shanyan indeed sneered, obviously I was not prepared for the current situation.
Before entering the court, Lu State hurried to Xinglin and saw Xu Cheng. "Oh? What happened to me in Wu State?"
Li Ran took a deep breath when he heard this.
I saw that the low platform was built against the mountain. It can be said to be very strong.
Then, when the master left, he continued to ask questions about Lu Guo. King Wu smiled and said
"Wow! So low!"
At that time, Yang Hu came to King Wu again
"So, I ask you all to work together to defeat the national traitors!"
"But the Ji family has sent out troops?"
The civil and military ministers present were all infected by the righteous indignation spoken by Lu Guo, and their fighting spirit was high for a while.
However, Lu Zhaogong had not said anything about this, and was not in a panic, "I would like to ask seven of you to immediately lead your troops and station them in Qufu Liwei!"
At that time, it was also the time to show loyalty. Zhongni and Shusun both spoke. Mengsun Heji naturally also spoke, and immediately said:
At that time, Yang Hu had already heard the Master’s report and said that he would deal with it as soon as possible.
Yang Hu touched his head in response, but he took it completely seriously and regarded it as a few words of comfort from Xu Cheng.
King Wu immediately told Yang Hu about this. Li Ran tilted his head.
"Your Majesty, the Ji family is Xu Cheng's retainer, but in fact he has no intention of doing so. I have been urging me to break down Sun Wu's city wall, but I have been delaying it till now. I sent the retainer to supervise the matter.
Who would have thought that this matter would actually inspire this son to actually risk being a humble person in the sky, collude with the rebel ministers, and intend to plot rebellion!"
The civil and military ministers under the court also accused the Ji family of being evil. Worse still, they directly pointed the finger at Zhongni.
At that time, Xu Cheng's disciples who later repaired this place were also seen arriving one after another. Hearing what King Wu said, the State of Lu also nodded and said:
Lu Guo sighed.
When time passed, and when he came to be the regent of Feiyi, Xu Cheng also deliberately left this place as a warning to the people in order to show Zhongni's "honest minister" behavior.
He naturally wanted to rush into Qufu with speed and speed to achieve his goal.
Because there was no lesson learned by Confucius Wenru, neither Feiyi nor Lu had any intention of allowing Bahuan to station troops around Qufu.
So now, it is also difficult for us to slowly gather small-scale soldiers and horses to defend the capital.
Brother Changqing listened and nodded. At that time, You Xucheng from Gongshan said:
"Since this son is the governor of your city, Zhongni has committed such a treasonous act, and you, Zhongni, cannot escape the blame. However, this matter is definitely not what you, Zhongni, want. Xu Cheng is willing to protect you as a demonstration
Loyal! I hope you will investigate clearly!"
That Gongshanyan said with an indifferent smile
In fact, King Wu had not expected today's situation, so it seemed that he was
In times of crisis there is chaos.
Since Gongshan Buxuan has made up his mind, he naturally has to act as quickly as possible. Xu Cheng said
With the abilities of Liguang and Wu Yuan, it is an inevitable trend for the Wu Kingdom to take advantage of the situation. However, it is not yet known how long the rise of the Wu Kingdom can last and what impact it will have on the current situation in the sky.
