I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 566: Anti-faking Loyalty!Gongshan Buxuan's Great Righteousness

Since the window of Li Ran's residence was directly facing the outside, Li Ran looked from the window and could see that in the sound of horns, there were already banners flying in the distance, and rows of soldiers were stepping in from the outside.

Li Ran immediately said:
"Don't act rashly here, stay away from the window, so as not to accidentally injure you, I'm going to meet Lu Hou!"

Gong Eryue said:
"Don't worry sir, with me here, everyone will be safe!"

Li Ran nodded, and closed the window, and after instructing Gong Wei a few more words, he was about to go out.

Seeing Chu Dang and Fan Li were outside, Li Ran asked Chu Dang to enter the house to protect everyone, and he took Fan Li up to the top floor.

The voices outside naturally disturbed the civil and military ministers. Even though some of them lived a long time, they had never seen such a thing.

So most of these people were scared out of their wits and curled up behind them without saying a word.

Fortunately, Kong Qiu was well prepared. Standing on the high platform, he raised his arms and raised the flag.

Following his flag order, the chariots under the high platform were lined up neatly again, and they were ready there.

Seeing Li Ran coming, Gong Yan hurried forward to salute and said:
"It was thanks to my uncle who took action last night, otherwise my brother would..."

Li Ran waved his hands and said with a smile:
"My lord, you are welcome. Gongwei and his little boy were injured last night. However, it is also fortunate that the two of them noticed the movement. Invisibly, they saved us on the high platform." Everyone! Speaking of which, Gongwei and his little boy can be considered a great achievement!"

Li Ran lost no time in directly mentioning Wang Kai, wanting to see Gong Yan's reaction.

But Gong Yan was not without some embarrassment, and faltered and said:

"I didn't expect that Wei'er usually looks weak, but he has some martial arts skills... As for that little boy... I never thought that it is really rare to be able to protect the Lord like this."

Hearing this, Li Ran couldn't help but smile slightly:
"Well, yes, I also think that the little boy next to him is really commendable."

Li Ran knew that although it was not the time to talk publicly about Gongwei and Wang Kai, a little mention of Wang Kai's contribution at this time could subtly change some of his views on Wang Kai.

And just as the two of them were talking, they heard a charge of horns outside, and the chariot beating the drums had already started.

Naturally, Li Ran and Gong Yan couldn't care less about talking, and hurried to investigate the situation.

"How is it?"

Li Ran approached Kong Qiu and asked directly.

Confucius heard that Li Ran was coming, so he hurriedly got off the stage and said:
"Last night, according to benefactor's wishes, we did some fortifications overnight. Now everything is ready... However, it seems that Gongshan's progress is not small."

Hearing this, Li Ran looked out again, but couldn't help but sneered:
"Hehe, he has indeed made some progress. It seems that the fire yesterday really burned him."

But seeing that the troops sent by Gongshan Buxuan to besiege Gaotai this time are only seven or eight thousand.As for its periphery, there are three layers inside and three layers outside, waiting there for soldiers.

Obviously, because of yesterday's experience, Gongshan Buxuan already knew that to attack this dangerous place, relying on a large number of people is completely useless.

Moreover, the front of the rebel army specially prepared fire raccoons this time, and even the bottoms of their shoes were covered with a layer of turf in order to prevent the use of sheep oil and other fire attacks on the high platform again.Even when facing a chariot, they first responded with bows and arrows, and formed three square formations at the same time, with tripping ropes in the front row.

There was only a sound of drums and horns in the distance, and the front of the rebel army launched an attack.After shouting in unison, they went straight across the ravine, and approached here.

Under the high platform, a chariot charge was also launched.

It's just that this time, because the rebels had a stumbling block to deal with them, not only did the charging of the chariots have little effect, but most of them were directly beaten to the ground.

Soon, the chariots were completely lost, and the rebels directly attacked under the high platform.

But who knows, just as they approached and were about to climb up the rock, there was another bang.The rebels suddenly fell into the trap one after another.

It turned out that Li Ran ordered Kong Qiu to dig out this trap in front of the stage overnight.Although this trap is not deep, it is because the bottom is covered with bamboo tips.So as long as it is a person who falls, they will all be stabbed to death.

However, there were many rebels, and the people in the back row didn't know what was going on ahead, so they just rushed forward.The people in the front row hurriedly stopped when they saw it, but they would still be pushed down by the people in the back row.

The incident here has not stopped, but the arrows on the high platform are coming one after another, and the arrow rain is like locusts passing through the border.

After a while of shooting and killing, but seeing that the gate suddenly opened in the high platform, the infantry rushed out through it, beheading the sporadic rebels who had crossed the trap, and then retreated quickly.

Gongshan Buxuan saw that this kind of change happened under this high platform in one night, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of fear in his heart.

Seeing that the situation was not right, they had no choice but to withdraw their troops again.

When the uncle and grandson saw this, he couldn't help feeling anxious for a while:
"My lord, it's better to put all your eggs in one basket today! If the reinforcements from the monarch arrive, then we will have no chance of winning!"

At this time, Gong Shan said helplessly:

"Hey...the high platform here is really hard to shake! How about..."

Uncle Sun Zhe heard this, and immediately said anxiously:

"My lord, don't think about it! If we can't attack this stage, we will die without a place to die!"

Gong Shan didn't pay attention to him, but after a moment of silence, he said to the people around him:
"Prepare the horse!"

The man left in response, and Uncle Sunye asked strangely:

"My lord... what is this for?"

Gongshan Buxuan replied:

"The matter has come to this, I want to talk to the king personally!"

Uncle Sun Zhe heard the words, and hurriedly dissuaded him:
"No! Your Majesty has already been deceived by Kong Qiu and others, and you have brought troops here, how can you have any good words to say to you? Wouldn't it be the case that your own morale will be disturbed?"

Who knows, Gongshan Buxuan sneered and said:

"Those who are good at cutting, attacking the heart is the most important thing! As long as your lord is willing to talk to me, I will have something to say!"

Although Gongshan Buxuan was born in a barbarian family, he has a carefree and informal character.But since he was a child, he has been full of longing for the rituals and music of the Zhou people, so he naturally knows a lot of righteousness.

For this point, it can be seen from the fact that he once wanted to recruit Kong Qiu into Feiyi.

And he, through his own efforts, finally became the governor of Fei Yi.Among them, in addition to his own military achievements, it is also inseparable from the universal values ​​​​that he is proficient in Zhou people.

So, what to say about when?What not to say?How do you say what is best for you?These questions are also reasonable in Gongshan Buxuan's heart.

At this time, Gongshan Buxuan's mount was brought over, but Uncle Sun Zhe was still worried, grabbed the rein and said:

"The two armies are at war, and you just go there so rashly? Is this too dangerous?"

Gong Shan didn't listen to the words, but laughed out loud, and then the laughter died down, and his eyes became fierce again:
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you have a son?!"

I saw that Gongshan Buxuan jumped up, jumped onto the horse's back, and with his legs clamped, he walked forward.

Gong Shan Buxuan rode his horse and directly crossed the gap.

Soon, the people on the high platform also immediately found his trace, but seeing his extraordinary appearance, they immediately came to report to Kong Qiu.

Kong Qiu and Li Ran immediately went to the window sill to wait and see, but when they saw Yiqi approaching, they couldn't help frowning.

And the archers on the high platform also bent their bows and set their arrows, aiming at this person in unison.

Only the people under the high platform shouted loudly:

"I'm not in Xiagong Mountain, I'm here to meet you!"

Gongshan Buxuan's voice was thick and wide, full of energy, and could be heard clearly from the entire high platform.

Confucius also shouted down:
"Gongshan is not arrogant, you are rebellious! How dare you raise your troops to commit crimes and put the emperor in such a dangerous situation. Are you guilty? Why don't you get off your horse and accept surrender?"

Gong Shan didn't want to hear the words, but couldn't help laughing out loud!
But the anger in his heart was burning to the extreme.

Obviously, that's not what Confucius said in his letter when he was in Feiyi.

However, it is useless to say these things at this time.

At this time, Ji Sunsi also shouted from the side:

"Gongshan Buxuan, as the governor of Feiyi and a retainer of my Ji clan, how dare you do such a perverse thing? Are you worthy of my Ji clan's kindness to you?!"

But seeing that Gongshan Buxuan was still sitting upright on his horseback, with his fists clasped in both hands, he bowed and shouted:
"Your Majesty is surrounded by traitorous ministers and thieves now! If you don't do this, it is actually for your Majesty to expel the courtiers around you! Please don't let your Majesty be deceived by these people! They want to be trapped by injustice , In fact, it is for the sake of self-respect for disrupting the great government of our country of Lu!"

When Ji Sunsi heard the words, he immediately shouted back:
"Presumptuous, Your Majesty is here now, the sycophant you are talking about, could it be that I can't do it?"

Gongshan Buxuan is right:

"This Buxuan dare not speak nonsense, but what the Ji family did is known to the world! As a minister of the Ji family, Buxuan still vividly remembers what he did! The State of Lu has suffered from the Ji family for a long time! The Ji clan can't be counted as courtiers, so who else can count?"

However, when Li Ran heard this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
