I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 515 Chapter 606 Chapter 607

In the end, Mengsun Heji didn't listen to Gong Lianyang, but escorted Ji Sunsi back to Ji's mansion respectfully.

And Ji Sunsi escaped from death this time, and after suffering a short period of panic, he immediately came to his senses.Hurry up and send someone to bring Lu Housong back from Pupu.

Lu Hou Song was originally a puppet monarch supported by Ji Pingzi. Later, after Yang Hu seized the power of the Ji family, he then took control of the state affairs.

After all, Lu Housong was still just a puppet.It's just that compared to his father and brother, he is a more noble puppet.

But even so, from Lu Housong's point of view, such treatment is obviously considered extremely lucky.

At least compared to a tragic death in the Chu Palace, a guest died in a foreign land, what can he complain about?
But now, the world suddenly changed again, and it seemed that Cong Yanghu was going to return to the hands of the Ji family again. Lu Housong was more or less afraid of this in his heart, but he was helpless.

In fact, let alone Lu Housong, even Li Ran and others never thought of it.

But in just a few days, Yang Hu's power has disappeared!
Sun Wu and Fan Li deliberately found Li Ran, and when they talked about this matter, they all sighed.

Sun Wu said:

"Yang Hu's heart is not right, and the current situation can be said to be his own fault!"

But Fan Li said:
"It's just that, after all, Yang Hu still has the merits of supporting the Duke of Lu. Although the Lu State is not very good under his rule, it is always better than Ji Pingzi who had no ruler and no control over the people. those days!"

"Yang Hu... To be honest, he was the one that Mr. took pains to win over back then. It's just that... since he came to power, he has been at odds with Mr. Lu. The current isolation of the Lu Kingdom can also be said to be caused by him alone! Ah, it can be said that I have failed the master's painstaking efforts!"

At this moment, Li Ran let out a long sigh, and said:
"Yang Hu, although his quality is better than his writing, and he is a bit self-willed, but it is not the root of his own destruction! There are many people in the world who don't listen to others' advice, and not everyone will end up like this?!"

Hearing Li Ran's words, Sun Wu and Fan Li couldn't help but looked at each other, but they didn't quite understand what Li Ran said.

Seeing that the two of them were unknown, Li Ran smiled again, and continued to add:
"The root cause of Yang Hu's defeat was that he was in a humble position and took charge of the emperor's affairs. However, if he can know his own status and restrain himself and wait for the right time, it is not impossible to succeed. It is a pity that this time After all, people are eager for quick success and quick profit, and even more mistakenly believe in sycophants, resulting in today's defeat!"

"Oh, what a pity, what a pity!"

Hearing Li Ran shaking his head and sighing "It's a pity" so repeatedly, Fan Li was also a little confused:

"Sir, since you said this, what's the pity? It's rude to say that Yang Hu used his despicable status to take charge of the emperor's affairs. Then he caused many disasters again and again. Isn't he the culprit of Lu Nan?! "

Li Ran heard Fan Li's question, but smiled slightly, and replied:

"Although the name of a humble person is not correct, there is a saying in "Qian": "Heaven is moving, and a gentleman should strive for self-improvement. Just like the ninety-three said, although a humble person does not have a proper position, as a gentleman, if he can do things, he will work hard all day long." , if you are vigilant at night, there is no blame!"

"So, Yang Hu is too obsessed with getting help from Fan Yang of the Jin State, but he neither knows anyone nor himself! He thinks that he can make a connection with Fan Yang like Ji Sun Yiru, but he doesn't know what's going on. How can he really do what he wants?"

Sun Wu and Fan Li, upon hearing Li Ran's words, felt somewhat comprehended.

In fact, if you say that everyone present, more or less, they all had a little sympathy for Yang Hu.

After all, as far as they are personally concerned, don't they have the same ambitions as Yang Hu?
May I ask in this world, how many people can really control the government of Lu State for several years with such a lowly status like Yang Hu?Moreover, it can easily sweep away the chaos of domestic power ministers arrogating and advocating the public office!
"That's true. It's really not easy for this person to command the Sanhuan, rule the Lu Kingdom, and set a precedent for the Lu Kingdom's "accompanying ministers to govern the country" with a mere body of Jisun's retainer and no strong family background! "

Hearing what Sun Wu said, Li Ran couldn't help but nodded slowly:

"Well, it can be said to be 'the genius who governs the country, the traitor who loses the country'!"

After Li Ran made this evaluation, he didn't want to make too many comments on Yang Hu.After all, now that the situation has developed to this point, he, Li Ran, has also sensed another chance:

"Uncle Shao, go and invite Kong Zhongni to come to Xinglin as soon as possible."

Fan Li took the order and went away, while Li Ran sat upright with his eyes closed, but did not speak for a long time.

Sun Wu felt a little baffled by this, and couldn't help asking:
"Sir, sir, invite Kong Zhongni to come, I don't know why?"

"Hehe, now that the state of Lu is in chaos again, we need to make early preparations! Right now, Yang Hu is running away, and Ji Sunsi will surely leak clues again!"

"It's just that he must first urgently resolve the affairs of the Ji clan left by Yang Hu. What I mean by brother is that if Kong Zhongni can take this opportunity to directly govern the country of Lu, it would be great !"

Sun Tzu tilted his head.

"This matter... I'm afraid it's not easy?"

Li Ran stroked his beard.

"It's not difficult to predict. Ji Sunsi was suppressed by Yang Hu for so long before, and Yang Hu's sudden defeat, there must be a lot of things in his clan, making him unable to escape! In addition, from the perspective of the monarch, if the It is probably not what Sanhuan wants to take back in charge of the court."

"Zhongni has always had a reputation for respect and courtesy, and he is the son of the tiger general Shu Lianghe, and he has a deep relationship with Sanhuan. If he is asked to meet Lu, I am afraid that it will be a result acceptable to all parties!"

Sun Wu couldn't help but nodded:
"So that's the case, sir, you really have a good opinion!..."

After Li Ran finished speaking, he raised his head again:

"Changqing, there is another matter! But I still need Changqing to do it!"

When Sun Wu heard this, he couldn't help being startled, without further ado, he quickly turned around, facing Li Ran, he clasped his fists and said:

"Sir, please speak, Wu is here to obey orders!"

Li Ran sneered, took out a silk book from his sleeve, and said to Sun Wu:
"Yang Hu is still in the territory of Lu, so he probably has nowhere to go now. I have already repaired a silk book for my brother, and Changqing will give it to him on my behalf!"

Sun Wu heard the words, but hesitated again.

"What use is this kind of person... to Mister?"

Li Ran smiled bitterly and said:
"Hehe, Changqing only knows one thing, not the other!"

"Yang Hu is also extremely intelligent. If not, how could he be favored by Ji Pingzi alone? Now, Zhao Yang's subordinates, except for Dong Anyu, can be said to be useless! And Yang Hu Hu Sanfan was murdered by the Fan family, he must have the heart of revenge, and he can use it for him!"

"Right now, we are no more than Zhao Yang as foreign aid. If Yang Hu can defect to the Zhao family, it would be a good thing..."

As soon as Sun Wu heard it, he immediately understood.

What's more, he was obedient to Li Ran's words, so he agreed immediately.

Holding the silk book in one hand, Li Ran told him:
"If Yang Hu has any difficulties, you can also play by ear, and just raise your hand to help!"

Sun Wu bowed his head and took the silk scroll, and replied:

"No, sir, don't worry, Wu Ding will help Yang Hu escape from the Lu Kingdom as much as he can!"

Li Ran nodded in satisfaction, and told Sun Wu to ride fast.

Sun Wu also didn't delay for a moment, he took the letter with him, and he left Xinglin and rode away alone.

……

As mentioned above, although Yang Hu was defeated, he was not hiding.Instead, food and lodging are all on the main road, and they entered Yangguan in such a swaggering way.

And Ji Sunsi recruited the Ji family's private soldiers from Qufu, and personally led the troops to pursue them.

Just as Li Ran expected, if Yang Hu didn't die, how could he, Ji Sunsi, sleep?
After Sun Wu learned of Yang Hu's whereabouts, he also stepped up his horse. He ran alone, which was much faster than Ji's army.

In just three or four days, Sun Wu arrived near Yangguan.But immediately, he was blocked by several soldiers.

Sun Wu didn't bother to talk nonsense to them, so he jumped off his horse and knocked them down, and then said:

"I am Sun Changqing. I have come to see Yang Hu by the order of the Taishi of Zhou Yi, so hurry up and report!"

The man obeyed his orders and didn't dare to be negligent, he just rolled and crawled, and ran directly to the Yangguan.Sun Wu wanted to go forward again, but found that there was still a large group of people blocking his way.

At this moment, a tall figure appeared in front of Sun Wu.

This person is none other than Yang Hu!
Knowing that it was Sun Wu who came, Yang Hu hurried out, came to Sun Wu's side, and held his arms with both hands:
"Brother Changqing! You came just in time!"

Faced with such an enthusiastic Yang Hu, Sun Wu couldn't help sighing secretly when he saw that he was able to live like a tiger despite losing such a big profit and being in such a dangerous situation.

"Master Yang, if you have anything to say, let's go in and talk first?!"

So Sun Wu followed Yanghu into Yangguan.

In fact, this place used to be a pass that was almost deserted, bordering on the state of Qi. It was only because Yang Hu had left this behind for him in the past, that's why he built this pass.

And this pass is also named after it.

The two sat facing each other, Sun Wu took out the silk book and said:

"My lord Yang, this is the silk script written by my master, and I said that my lord can follow this letter, go to Jinyang, and join the Zhao family!"

Yang Hu took the letter and didn't have time to read it carefully, so he directly accepted it and said:

"Mr. Ziming is still thinking about Yanghu. Hu has no place to be ashamed! Hu regretted not listening to Mr.'s words, which led to a big defeat. Mr. Ziming can not abandon Yanghu, Hu is very grateful!"

Sun Wu sighed:

"Sir also has high hopes for your lord, and hopes that your lord can help the Zhao family with peace of mind when he arrives in Jin Kingdom..."

Before Sun Wu finished speaking, he heard someone outside suddenly report:
"Report!... The Ji Clan's army is less than a hundred miles away!"

Yang Hu waved his hand to make people retreat, while Sun Wu asked:

"I don't know how many people you have in your hands now, my lord?"

"Hey... Gongsun Buxuan's Feiyi private soldiers have all withdrawn, and now there are only 500 Yang's private soldiers left, but these people are elite soldiers, and each of them can count as ten!"

When Sun Wu heard this, he couldn't help but sneered, and shook his head:
"I said Master Yang, today is different! Even if these elites of yours can really make one ten, so what? The Yang Pass cannot be defended no matter what! Please leave in time, my lord! "

Chapter 607

Yang Hu still seemed unhurried, and said extremely calmly:

"The tiger is about to run away, and it must be done, but before that, the tiger has another thing to do!"

When Sun Wu heard the words, he couldn't help asking in surprise:

"Oh? What are you going to do?"

Unexpectedly, Yang Hu laughed out loud again, stood up and pointed at this Yangguan and said:
"Although the tiger is not talented, how can he be completely ignorant of today's danger? That's why I purposely built this sun pass in advance! This pass is built according to the terrain, and it can be described as extending in all directions! Brother Changqing, please follow the tiger Come and have a look!"

Therefore, Sun Wu was not polite, followed Yang Hu directly to the high place, pointed out several key strongholds and closed doors, and made a simple sand table on the ground.

After all, Sun Wu is unmatched in military affairs, so he immediately discovered the clues keenly.

"The terrain here is wide at first and then narrow. It's a good time to bluff and spread out suspicious soldiers! You can come and attack the west, make some noise in Leimen, and lure most of them, and then you can take the opportunity to run away..."

Yang Hu laughed again when he heard the words, and shook his head and said:
"Brother Changqing, why do you want Hu to leave directly? Laimen is making noise here, which coincides with Yang, but Hu still doesn't want to just run away!"

When Sun Wu heard this, he only faintly felt that Yang Hu was going to make trouble again:
"What are you going to do, my lord?"

But seeing Yang Hu's eyes froze, he replied:

"That Ji Sunsi didn't know how to live or die, and dared to personally lead soldiers to chase me, Yanghu. Hehe, since he was so eager to come and get me, how could he not give him this chance? Brother Changqing...Yang is the one I want to capture Ji Sunsi alive here!"

Sun Wu's eyes widened. If he wanted to talk about the way of using troops to win big profits in a dangerous situation, Sun Wu was very familiar with this.

However, according to Yang Hu's current situation, he is almost desperate!If he moved to another place, no matter how beneficial it was, Sun Wu would definitely not behave like Yang Hu.

"My lord, now that you have lost power in the country of Lu, not to mention that the enemy is outnumbered, and your lord has few invincible soldiers, your lord should leave the country of Lu as soon as possible, why..."

Yang Hu said proudly:
"Hehe, the essence of a soldier lies not in its abundance. Brother Changqing has experienced many battles, isn't he clearer than Yang? If Yang did this, since even Brother Changqing couldn't expect it, then Ji Sunsi would be even more serious. It was unexpected! Isn't this a chance to win?!"

Sun Wu couldn't help but make a wry smile:
"Your Excellency, you must put Ji Sunsi to death? But why?"

Yang Hu laughed again, and shook his head again:

"Hahaha, brother Changqing is too worried. Yang is not trying to kill him. He is just trying to capture him alive! Brother Changqing, would you like to help someone?"

Sun Wu narrowed his eyes.

"Then... what happens after he is captured alive? My lord's loss of power in Lu is a certainty, so what if Ji Sunsi is captured alive?"

Yang Hu smiled mysteriously once again:
"Hehe, there's nothing else, after someone is captured alive, there will be secrets! However, Yang can guarantee that he will never touch him in the slightest. Just rest assured, brother Changqing!"

Sun Wu only felt doubts for a while, but at this juncture, Yang Hu seemed to have no need to deceive himself, so he only replied half-believingly:
"Wu came here on this trip, and the master has also explained that he wants me to assist you. If you really want to do it, as long as Wu thinks it is feasible, you will certainly follow his orders!"

Yang Hu couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this:
"Okay! With the help of Brother Changqing, then this matter will be accomplished! Brother Changqing, you see, this Laimen is also the only way to enter Yangguan, and if you go north, you will be in the territory of Qi State. If there is any commotion here, then Ji Sunsi will definitely think that the tiger intends to escape this way!"

Sun Wu looked at it carefully, and nodded involuntarily:
"Well, Caiwu also saw this just now, and felt that this place is indeed suitable for setting up suspicious soldiers!"

Yang Hu pulled out the big sword at his waist, and pointed to another place.

"There are two gates here. When the tiger was established before, it was built in a dark place. If we rush out from here, Ji Sunsi will not notice, and we can capture him directly when his camp is empty!"

Sun Wu was silent for a while, and after a long time, he said worriedly:
"It's just... this time Ji Sunsi led troops here, there must be a lot of people..."

Who knows, Yang Hu laughed and said:
"Hehe, there is nothing to worry about at all! That Lizi was afraid that Gongshan would not be free, so he would not dare to recruit soldiers from Feiyi! And Ji's private soldiers were only a few thousand at best, and most of them had been captured by Leimen's suspects at that time. Lure out. Brother Changqing only needs to lead 200 people, charge first for a while as a feint attack, and then wait for the tiger to bring 500 people to kill! It is bound to capture the enemy alive!"

In fact, Sun Wu is very familiar with this kind of tactic of slamming east and west, and feigning a shot.And the premise of this plan is to divide the troops.

"It's just...is there enough troops?"

Sun Wu asked in doubt, but Yang Hu seemed quite confident:
"Tiger's plan is sure to come true, and he is backed by the state of Qi. He can put all his eggs in one basket. What are you afraid of?! Besides, this Ji Sunsi, even though he is the suzerain of the Ji clan, I watched him grow up. Shu Zi is nothing to worry about at all!"

Sun Wu still wanted to persuade Yang Hu to be more cautious, but Yang Hu had already ordered someone to prepare flammable items in Leimen, order 500 troops to be drawn out, [-] should be led by Sun Wu, and he himself would bring [-] soldiers.

Yang Hu's resolute actions also aroused Sun Wu's desire to win.So, Sun Wu didn't say much anymore.

……

When the sky was dark, Ji Sunsi approached Yangguan with his army, but he didn't dare to knock on it immediately.

When Yang Hu's spies came to report, Yang Hu and Sun Wu learned that Ji Sunsi had set up camp at twenty li.

Moreover, as expected by Yang Hu, Ji Sunsi led only [-] troops.Just because Ji Sunsi also knew that Yang Hu could not leave many troops around him, and he was worried that Yang Hu would escape from the country in advance, so he led his private soldiers to chase to Yangguan before he could prepare.

However, on the one hand, Ji Sunsi was still afraid of Yang Hu, so he did not dare to attack rashly.

On Yang Hu's side, the battle was imminent, but they still had to eat, drink, and sleep.

Even if Sun Wu saw it, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"This person is not chaotic when he is in danger, he really has the style of a big man! No wonder this person has done so many wrong things, but the master still values ​​him so much. It seems that this person is indeed quite capable!"

In the middle of the night, Sun Wu and Yang Hu led the soldiers to the secret door. There was a sudden noise from the direction of Leimen, and then a burst of flames shot straight into the sky.

Ji Sunsi couldn't sleep, and when he heard the movement, he hurriedly got up and asked what happened. He knew that there was a fire at Laimen in Yangguan, and there was a lot of people's voices, so there might be some accidents.

Ji Sunsi gave a deep exhortation, and hurriedly said:
"Send someone to stop it, that guy Yang Hu is probably trying to escape!"

Immediately, thousands of people swarmed up and rushed directly to Leimen.

At almost the same time, Sun Wu took advantage of the darkness and led 200 people out of the secret door, heading straight for Ji's camp!
When Ji Sunsi heard his movement, he couldn't help but be ashamed of fright!

"Quick! Order the battalion guards to resist with all their strength and not retreat!"

As a result, all the soldiers who stayed in the camp were directly hooked away by the two hundred elites led by Sun Wu!
Ji Sunsi could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the shouts of killing fading away.

However, just when he was relieved a little, who would have thought that there was another burst of shouts outside the barracks!

At this moment, Ji Sunsi had no one available around him, so he had no choice but to put on his armor and walk out of the big tent tremblingly.

But suddenly he found that there was no one in the camp, but the lights outside the camp were brightly lit!

But I saw a tall figure riding a horse at the moment!

And this person is none other than Yang Hu!

Ji Sunsi's fear of Yang Hu can be said to be deeply rooted in his bones.

Seeing this scene, he was so frightened that he turned around and wanted to run back!
But he was still wearing armor at this time, so it was extremely inconvenient to move around.

He didn't wait for him to run a few steps, but he heard a rush of footsteps behind him.

In the panic, he staggered, and Ji Sunsi fell directly into the mud pit, looking extremely embarrassed!
