I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Zilu made a wry smile in front of Gongshan Buxuan, and said:

"This is the end of the matter, so I won't say any more, I only hope that Master Gongshan can succeed and return!"

Gong Shan Buxuan laughed, winked at the two confidantes, and left the place.

Zilu turned around and entered the house, and shouted loudly:

"Oh, when I was in Qufu, I was entangled in such tedious things every day, and it was very hard. Coming to Feiyi, I can take a good rest and recuperate. It's not bad, it's not bad!"

The two confidantes of Gongshan Buxuan were about to close the door for Zilu when Zilu suddenly said:
"By the way, Lord Gongshan told you two to treat me well. Today... go and prepare some charcoal and raw meat... By the way, I have a big appetite, so I need to prepare more food and drink. If the two of you If you don't like it, you can also have a meal with Zhong Mou!"

The two of them looked at each other, and then went to prepare the oven and all the ingredients in response.

Zilu looked around the house. Although the layout was simple, it was refreshing.

Zilu sat down and thought:
"When Gongshan Buxuan and Uncle Sun Zhe leave Feiyi, I can't just sit here and wait for death! Otherwise, when Gongshan Buxuan comes to his senses, I'm afraid he will be the first one to take the knife!"

……

Since Gongshan Buxuan had already made up his mind, he naturally acted as soon as possible.

After the final discussion with his uncle and grandson, he led the army and headed straight for Qufu.

He wanted to rush into Qufu so quickly that he could not cover his ears, so as to achieve his goal.

However, regarding the news about Fei Yi, Qufu has been secretly following it.

Regarding Gongshan's refusal to send troops, Qufu has already received a tip.

After Lu Housong learned that Gongshan was not going to raise troops, he only thought that he was going to do something against him, so he couldn't help but turn pale with fright.

And the ministers of civil and military affairs at the court meeting all accused Gongshan of being unreasonable there, and what's more, they directly pointed the finger at the Ji family.

But Ji Sunsi had already said something about this, and he was not flustered:
"Your Majesty, although Gongshan Buxuan is my retainer of the Ji family, he actually has a different heart. I have been urging him to fall to the city wall of Feiyi, but he has been procrastinating until now. Afterwards, I sent the head of the family to supervise Who would have thought that this matter would provoke this son to risk the displeasure of the world, colluding with traitors, and intending to plot rebellion!"

"Since this son is the governor of my Ji clan, but he committed such a treasonous thing, my Ji clan can't escape the responsibility. However, this matter is definitely not my Ji clan's wish. The Ji clan is willing to defend the king. To show loyalty! I also hope that the king will investigate clearly!"

At this time, Shusun Zhouchou who was on the side also said from the side:
"Your Majesty, my Uncle Sun is also willing to fight against the traitors of the country together with you! Although this thief occupies Feiyi and has a huge army, if he wants to fight against our entire Lu Kingdom with the power of a city, That is wishful thinking!"

It was also the time to show loyalty, and both the Ji family and the uncle Sun family had spoken, so Mengsun Heji naturally would not remain silent, and immediately said:

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, we are still here, and we will not teach that thief to succeed!"

Seeing that the three Huan had spoken at the same time, Lu Hou Song felt relieved a little, and looked at Kong Qiu.

When Confucius saw it, he also came out and said:
"Gongshan Buxuan's move just proves that it is a wise move to fall into the three capitals! However, you don't have to worry about it. Now that our Lu Kingdom's monarchs and ministers are so united, and Your Majesty has the support of the people of the country, he is not afraid of Gongshan. It must be impossible!"

After hearing this, Lu Housong couldn't help but nodded.At this time, Zuo Sima of Lu State came forward and said:
"Your Majesty, there are less than [-] defenders inside and outside Qufu. And Feiyi is only a hundred miles away from Qufu. It may take only a few days to kill Feiyi. Now the distant water cannot save the nearby fire, and the guards in the city are lacking. , these few days... I'm afraid it's not easy to guard!"

When Confucius heard this, he turned to Sanhuan and asked:

"I don't know the three adults, how many private soldiers can there be in the city now?"

When Ji Sunsi heard this, his face showed embarrassment.

"My Ji clan has very few troops deployed around Qufu, and we still need to dispatch troops to the outside cities. I'm afraid it will be difficult to mobilize them for a while..."

Because of the lessons learned by Ji Sun Yiru, both Yang Hu and Kong Qiu intentionally let Sanhuan no longer station troops around Qufu.

So now, it is equally difficult for them to quickly gather large-scale soldiers and horses to defend the capital.

When Confucius heard this, he turned to the left and right Sima again:
Seeing this, the left and right Sima quickly got up and took a step forward, and bowed to listen and call.

Just listen to Confucius say:

"I also ask the two of you to immediately bring the troops and horses of the headquarters and station them on the outskirts of Qufu!"

"promise!"

Kong Qiu issued orders on his behalf, and the left and right Sima didn't think there was anything wrong, so they immediately asked for orders to follow.

Confucius said again:

"I also ask you to issue an edict to mobilize the people in the city to fight against the enemy together!"

Therefore, Lu Hou Song followed Kong Qiu's order and immediately issued an edict.Let all the people in the city prepare their armies and actively resist the rebellion from Feiyi!
Confucius held the imperial edict and said loudly:
"This matter is about your lord, the safety of the country and the country. Please, my lords, be able to fight against the enemy. Don't just care about self-protection, let alone take chances! That Gongshan is not born as a barbarian. With their behavior style, wherever they go There must be burning, killing, looting, and all kinds of evil. Therefore...if Qufu falls, I am afraid that everyone will die without a place to bury them!"

"So, please everyone work together to fight against the traitors!"

Most of the civil and military ministers present were also infected by the righteous indignation Confucius said, and their fighting spirit was high for a while.

After retiring from the court, Kong Qiu hurried to Xinglin to meet Li Ran.

Seeing that Kong Qiu was in a hurry and his palms were even sweating, Li Ran couldn't help but understand for a while.

"But Gongshan doesn't send troops anymore?"

Kong Qiu nodded and said:
"Exactly, Engong, Gongshan has not sent troops for a day, and now he is heading straight to Qufu. And I never thought that he would secretly build a lot of chariots. The number of them is unexpected!"

Hearing this, Li Ran smiled indifferently:
"Actually, it's not unexpected. This Gongshan Buxuan has always had a heart of disobedience. Moreover, when Yang Hu was around, there were many Feiyi soldiers who relied on him! So, even today, no matter what It’s normal to grow bigger.”

"It's just that the Marquis of Lu doesn't have any military power in his hands now, and Sanhuan has deployed the main military forces in the border towns and the main town. In this way, there are indeed too few combatable soldiers inside and outside Qufu. A little bit."

"However, as long as we can hold on for a while, Gongshan Buxuan will surely be chaotic without a fight!"

Hearing what Li Ran said, Kong Qiu kept nodding his head and said:
"Qiu is not in a panic, but this place is definitely not safe, please benefactor to enter the city for shelter!"

In fact, Li Ran had expected the situation today, so he seemed to be calm in the face of danger.

I saw that Li Ran called his servants and told them to make preparations quickly.

Afterwards, after the servant left, he and Confucius continued to ask:
"I don't know...how is the situation on the king's side?"

Confucius sighed:
"Your Majesty was a little flustered at first, but he has calmed down now. But... I'm afraid it won't be long before Gongshan Buxuan's army arrives, and he will be frightened again."

Chapter 677
Hearing this, Li Ran sneered, obviously he had already prepared for the current situation.

He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said:
"Hehe, if there is no real opportunity, how can we really lure him to come? Since Gongshan Buxuan wants to enter Qufu so much, why not just let him in!"

When Confucius heard this, he couldn't help being taken aback, and said quite inconceivably:
"Huh? Let him enter the city?"

Li Ran smiled and said:

"Hehe, if we don't let Gongshan Buxuan taste some sweetness, how can we lure him into the urn? So, before this, we can only be defeated, not victorious!"

After hearing what Li Ran said, Kong Qiu couldn't help saying inexplicably:

"Could it be... is it because you want Junshang to abandon the city?"

Li Ran shook his head again and said:

"That's unnecessary!"

Kong Qiu was even more puzzled by this, wondering what kind of medicine Li Ran was selling in this gourd.

Seeing that he still didn't understand, Li Ran continued without waiting for Kong Qiu to ask:
"Back then, the high platform that Ji Sun Yiru climbed to deliberately avoid Lu Zhaogong's attack is still there today?"

When Confucius heard this, he couldn't help but gasped.

"Ah? This move...is it too risky?"

Seeing a sharp look suddenly appeared in Li Ran's eyes, he couldn't help stretching out his hand to grab Kong Qiu's wrist and said:
"Zhong Ni, you and I can protect the safety of the Lord together with Ji Clan's Tower. Presumably Zhong Ni knows how dangerous that high platform is! That Ji Clan's Tower is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even No matter how many soldiers and horses there are in Gongshan, there is nothing he can do!"

Kong Qiu thought about it, nodded firmly and said:

"Okay! Let's follow benefactor's plan! Qiu will go to manage it, and ask benefactor to enter the city as soon as possible and move to the high platform first!"

Li Ran said:

"Well, don't worry Zhongni, but this is the time to enter the city!"

Li Ran immediately told Fan Li about this.

At this time, Fan Li had already heard the report from his servants, saying that he had to clean up as soon as possible.

So, Gong Eryue, Chu Dang, Guang'er and others started to pack up their own things.

And Kong Qiu went to inform Yan Yan again, asking him to inform Xinglin's disciples to rush into the city to avoid chaos.

In just half a day, Li Ran dragged his family to the high platform built by Ji Sun Yiru back then.

I saw that this high platform was built on the mountain, it can be said to be extremely strong, the passage is narrow, and it is very likely that one man will guard the gate and ten thousand will not open it.

Moreover, most of the buildings are made of rocks, and there are springs on the mountain that can be brought in. The reason why Lu Zhaogong attacked it with fire back then was of no avail, and it was precisely because of this place!

Li Ran climbed to the highest point, and some of Ji Sun Yiru's belongings from that year are still preserved inside the stage.

And because Ji Sun Yiru built this platform according to the specifications of "Bayi", so speaking of it, it is really not humiliating for Lu Hou to come here to avoid chaos in this Ji family's platform.

Guang'er and Gong'er Yue climbed up and looked down, Guang'er couldn't help but excitedly said:
"Wow! So tall!"

Gong'eryue was worried about Guang'er, she held her little hand tightly, and said with a smile:
"It's just that looking down from the inside, it's really scary!"

At this time, Li Ran was also by their side, and seeing this majestic scene, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought:
"At the beginning, two generations of Ji Wuzi and Ji Pingzi spent a lot of money to build such a place, just to be able to prevent it from happening, so that one day they could rely on this place to fight against the monarchy. But now... they never thought that their own eunuch Rebellion, but still rely on this place to defend the monarch! It can be described as a trick of good fortune!"

Speaking of Ji's tower, it turned out that when Lu Zhaogong attacked Ji Sun Yiru, Ji Sun Yiru relied on the location of this tower to forcibly block the monarch's power under the high tower.

Therefore, this high platform is of great significance to the Ji family.

After all, it was at that time that the Ji family started the ten-year-long affair of presiding over the emperor.

But time has passed, and when Yang Hu came to be the regency, Yang Hu purposely left this place here in order to show the Ji family's "disobedience" behavior back then, in order to serve as a warning to the people of the country.

Then, after the decline of Yanghu, Ji Sunsi deliberately downplayed the existence here.Therefore, from then on, the Ji Clan's Tower gradually moved away from everyone's sight.

At this time, the members of the Ji family who came to repair this place also rushed to it one after another.

It turned out that Confucius asked Ji to make such an arrangement.

Because this high platform, although it has been in disrepair for a long time, there are even moss growing in some places.But after all, the original appearance is still there, and it has never been abandoned, so it only needs a little repair before it can be used.

"Father, why are we here?"

Li Guang's words pulled Li Ran's thoughts back.

Li Ran and Li Guang smiled:
"What does Guang'er think?"

Li Guang tilted her head.

"I think there may be enemies coming! This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is an excellent place to avoid chaos! Father, is Guang'er right?"

Li Ran was very happy. Although Li Guang was only ten years old, Li Ran's training for her was not only limited to etiquette, talent and literacy, but also mixed with some fantasies about future generations.

Therefore, compared with people of the same age, Li Guang's brain is really much brighter.

And when Sun Wu was still there, he often told Li Guang some stories about him marching and fighting in the past, so when Li Guang was three or four years old, he would take pleasure in arranging troops.

In addition, Fan Li is also proficient in business, so Li Guang's knowledge and resources are by no means what other girls in this era can possess.

Gong Eryue didn't wait for Li Ran's answer, but hurriedly replied:
"That's right! Guang'er is really smart!"

Li Guang is very proud of Erniang's affirmation.She looked around again, expressing that she wanted to go to the back mountain to have a look. Gong Eryue thought it would be fine, so she took her there, and Li Ran instructed:

"Don't go far, be careful."

Gong Eryue and Li Guang agreed and left.

At this moment, Fan Li came behind Li Ran again:
"Sir, on the road of Gongshan Buxuan, there are almost no obstacles along the way. If it is not unexpected, we will reach Qufu in two days tomorrow!"

Li Ran murmured:
"It's no secret that Qufu's surrounding forces are weak, but I didn't expect it to be so weak!"

Fan Li sighed:

"Since Jisun Yiru withdrew the central army, most of the troops were in the hands of Sanhuan, and Sanhuan always had his own ghosts, and the soldiers under him had no cohesion at all, so the army was always defeated in battle."

"It was like this when we attacked Liyi before, and now Gongshan Buxuan is attacking in reverse. Moreover, after Yanghu's tossing all these years, most of the main forces of the three Huan were placed in their respective main towns. A master town..."

Hearing this, Li Ran couldn't help but smile wryly:
"Hey... the state of Lu really has too many things for Zhong Ni to do right now. Although he has many disciples, if he really wants to pull the state of Lu out of the decline, it is really a long way to go! "

At this time, Fan Li couldn't help asking:
"By the way, sir, Brother Changqing also has some news..."

When Li Ran heard this, his eyes focused. In fact, he was still very concerned about Sun Wu's situation.

"Oh? How is he in Wu country?"

Fan Li replied:
"Brother Changqing has been worshiped as a great general by Wu Wang Helu, and Wu Zixu has also been promoted from a pedestrian to a grand master. It seems that he is preparing to mobilize the army to fight against Chu!"

Li Ran sighed:

"Well, with Chang Qing's talent, Wu's rise is inevitable, now I only hope Chang Qing can go well!"

With Sun Wu and Wu Yuan's abilities, it is an inevitable trend for Wu to take advantage of the situation to rise.However, it is still unknown how long Wu's rise will last, and what impact it will have on the current world structure.

Especially Li Ran, he was very clear that the current King Helu of Wu was like the second King Ling of Chu.

As for the rise of King Helu of Wu in the future, Li Ran obviously saw the pros and cons of it more thoroughly than others.

Fan Li couldn't help being a little excited when he thought that Sun Wu would make great achievements in the near future:

"What brother Changqing did is something that will be remembered in history in the future! This is really enviable!"

Li Ran looked at Fan Li indifferently, smiled slightly, and replied:
"Hehe, there are many immortals in ancient times, and they are not limited to generals? Although Shao Bo is not a general, his achievements in the future may not be inferior to Chang Qing..."

Fan Li couldn't help but patted his head, but he didn't take it seriously at all, it was just a few words of comfort from Li Ran.
