Master Kong Zhongni

Chapter 103
Oath, oath, attack Ju?

This series of heavy news made Zai Yu dizzy.

Originally, I just hoped that Yang Hu would give me a little bit of information, but I didn't expect him to plan to play such a big ticket.

After Zaiyu and Zigong briefly exchanged opinions, they quickly gave Yang Hu a reply.

"Please don't worry, Zigong and I will do our best in the past few days to get all the press releases out before the pledge, and try to print them on the same day."

Unexpectedly, when Yang Hu heard this, he smiled and waved his hands repeatedly.

"Damn me! That's not what I mean. If it's just such a small matter, why would I bother you?"

"Do you have any other requests?"

"Hahaha." Yang Hu laughed repeatedly: "It's not a request, if you insist on counting, at most it can be counted as a request."

"You just say it's okay."

Yang Hu said: "The attack on Ju this time is a matter of the country's face. Lu and Ju have been fighting for a hundred years around Yun, and our country's military fortune has declined for a long time since Duke Xi conquered Huaiyi. Victory invigorates the hearts of the Chinese people.

Therefore, for this attack on Ju, I hope to record the whole process of the attack on Ju, and after the war is over, I will disclose all these words on the newspaper.

Zi I, Zi Gong, what do you guys think of my idea? "

After listening for a long time, Zai Yu finally understood what Yang Hu meant.

It turned out that he wanted us to be a war correspondent!

But having said that, Yang Hu's proposal is really good!

If the attack on Ju is successful, the people of the country will cheer for joy. In this way, they must want to know the story behind the attack on Ju.

The "Ren Bao", which published the deeds of attacking Ju, just satisfies their curiosity, so it is bound to sell well.

And Yang Hu can also benefit from these reports, improve his poor public opinion environment, and win the support of the Chinese people.

If the attack on Ju fails, then Yanghu's reputation will inevitably be damaged.

At that time, even if "Ren Pao" is not allowed to publicize the deeds of his defeat, Yang Hu's position in Lu State will inevitably be shaken.

Besides, to be a war correspondent, one must go to the battlefield.

If you win, you can get some military merit.

If defeated, he also avoids punishment as a war correspondent.

All in all, Zaiyu and Zigong were not at a disadvantage in this matter, and there was absolutely no reason to refuse.

Therefore, Zai Yu agreed to Yang Hu's proposal without hesitation.

"Since Yangzi has the heart, then I will do my best. Please rest assured that Zigong and I will write in an impartial manner, and will truthfully record the matters related to the attack on Ju, so as to prepare for the publication of the news."

"Okay, okay!" Yang Hu said yes three times, and then shouted out the door with a smile: "Bring up the gift I'm going to give to me."

After a while, a group of people walked into the hall carrying a large box.

Yang Hu stepped forward, lifted the lid of the box with one hand, pointed to the things inside and said.

"Although you participated in the war this time to collect news, the battlefield is ruthless, and it would be bad if you were injured by Ruya.

So I specially prepared three pairs of rhinoceros armor, several saber handles, and several sets of poplar dry shields for you to choose and use. "

How about saying that Yang Hu is a person who can take charge of the country's life as an accompanying minister? Although Zaiyu knows that he is buying people's hearts, he still can't help but express his gratitude for his thorough care.

And Zi Gong relied on his years of business experience to see that the things in the box were of great value.

Red lacquer rhinoceros armor, ornately decorated bronze rapiers, plus finely crafted and painted poplar shields, if you take out any of these things, you can easily exchange them for dozens of stones of grain.

However, Yang Hu gave them away so lightly, without mentioning the value of these items, which shows that he spent a lot of money.

He is really willing to pay for it!

After Yang Hu explained the matter to them, he smiled and said goodbye to him.

"I had a very pleasant conversation with you today. I will go to the palace later to discuss the specific matters of attacking Ju with the monarch and the doctors, so I won't bother you any more."

"Congratulations to Yangzi."

After saying that, Yang Hu smiled and stepped out, leaving Zaiyu and Zigong standing in place.

The two of them look at each other, apparently they haven't figured out what the purpose of Yang Hu's frugality and promise of benefits is.

Zaiyu suddenly remembered the conversation between Fan Yang and Zhao Yang that he had heard in the state of Jin.

Could it be that Yang Hu is really dying?
He is attacking Ju again, and he is stepping up publicity. Could it be that he is about to fall?
This can't be done!
Although Yang Hu is not welcome, if he falls now, no one will be able to contain Sanhuan anymore.

Only when Yang Hu was in power, the master's position in the state of Lu could be stabilized.

And once San Huan regained control of the state affairs, with the Master's ideas and talents, he would inevitably be dismissed.

Because in Sanhuan's eyes, to protect the interests of the public office is to take food from their mouths.

When Yang Hu was still around, they could stand on the same side with the master under the guise of benevolence, righteousness and morality.

But as soon as Yang Hu left, San Huan would immediately go to the opposite side of Master.

On another timeline, Confucius was squeezed out by Sanhuan because of the three capitals, and in the end he could only take his students to travel around the world. The root cause is this reason.

Therefore, in Zaiyu's opinion, instead of helping Sanhuan, it is better to "look for food" under Yang Hu's men.

He was thinking about it when he heard Zi Gong ask him.

Zigong said with some confusion: "My son, we two are going out with the army this time, is it a real fight or a fake fight?

If they really fight, if they win, most of the reputation will be attributed to Yang Hu.

But if it is a fake fight, if it is defeated, wouldn't it be a sinner who is ashamed of Jiangshan Sheji? "

Jae Yu's answer to his question was also very simple.

"Of course it was a real fight! I heard that if you take someone else's salary, you have to act loyally for them.

We are now receiving the state's salary, how can we abandon the state's entrustment because of a little personal grievance at this time of crisis? "

While speaking, Jai Yu had already walked in front of the box and began to choose a suitable armor for himself.

While picking, he also said: "Besides, we practice the six arts of a gentleman every day, learn to drive, and archery, so that we can display them on the battlefield one day?

You have always boasted to me how brave you are, but why did you become timid when it came to a critical moment? "

Zigong stared and said, "Who says I'm scared? Isn't that because I'm afraid of making Yanghu famous?"

The two were talking when they suddenly heard heavy footsteps outside the door.

I saw a man with a big arm and a round waist and a solemn face came in. He looked around and asked suddenly.

"I just heard people say that Yangzi is here, why didn't I see his shadow?"

Zai Yu replied with a smile: "It's really a coincidence, Yang Zi just went out not long ago. I don't know what you want to do with him?
If you're not in a hurry, I can convey it to you when I meet Yoko later. "

"I?"

The man held the sword at his waist and said, "Of course I came to challenge him! I heard from Gongshan Buxuan in Feiyi that Yangzi planned to attack Ju, so I came here to ask him for permission to go out with the army. .”

Zai Yu glanced at this man up and down: "Do you still need Yang Zi's nod if you want to go out with the army? You have such a majestic body, as long as you are willing to fight, don't people want it wherever you go?"

Unexpectedly, the man was silent after hearing this, and then left without looking back, without leaving any reply to Zai Yu.

Zaiyu was baffled by what he said, and couldn't help cursing: "Who is this?"

At this time, Zhan Qiao who was waiting outside the door just now came in.

He said: "You don't have to be angry with him, that person will die sooner or later."

The more Zai Yu listened, the more familiar the name became: "What's the name of that person just now?"

Zhan Qiao was surprised and said, "Don't you know Zaizi? That person just now is Bian Zhuangzi who once fought a tiger!"

Zigong asked: "But isn't Bian Zhuangzi a brave man? Why didn't he take it with him in battle?"

Zhan Qiao replied embarrassingly: "It stands to reason that a gentleman should not talk about others behind his back. But since you want to hear it, I will tell you what I know.

Although Bian Zhuangzi was brave, he didn't know how to command an army.

He led the army to fight three times in his early years, but failed all three times.

And when he went to battle as a warrior, he was often hesitant to charge, and he rarely governed the city well.

Therefore, the monarch hates him, the officials look down on him, and the people of the country are very tired of his behavior.

Everyone thinks that Bian Zhuangzi is just a fraudster.

A person with such incompetence and lack of etiquette, why are you angry with him? "
