After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 171 Falling into the Three Capitals

Hearing what he said, Qi Hou nodded deeply, and then asked.

"Since you say that, do you have any good plans?"

At this time Tian Qi pretended to think for a moment, and then answered slowly.

"Although Marquis Lu is the king of Lu State, the power has long been in the hands of San Huan. Now that Lu State has expelled Yang Hu and returned the government to Ji Sun, they are all just for self-protection. Heart, but it may not last long."

"I heard that Marquis Lu is very beautiful, and Ji Sunsi was seized by Yang Hu. Before that, he had been living in fear and had no time to enjoy it. Therefore, I suggested that some beauties from Qi State should be sent to Lu State. In this way, It might work wonders."

Qi Hou agreed with Tian Qi's words very much. A strong and powerful Lu State is not a good thing for Qi State, and now that Jin State Fan Yang is dead, judging from the current situation, Zhibi cannot be persuaded at all. Live in Zhao Yang.

This made Qihou see the opportunity for Qi to dominate the world in the future, so he said with a smile.

"That's a good idea, I'll do as you said, choose the beauties of our Qi country, let the Lu country collapse again, especially don't allow people like Confucius to rule in the Lu country, this matter will be left to you. "

Hearing this, Tian Qi hurriedly responded alone, and then left.

Qufu, State of Lu.

Ji Sun was very satisfied with what Confucius had done recently, so he set up a banquet in the mansion to entertain him.

"Confucius is indeed a great talent. In a short period of time, Lu has a new atmosphere. I hope to continue to work hard in the future."

After Confucius heard this, he didn't have the slightest joy on his face, but stood up and saluted Ji Sunsi.

"Hengzi, although our country of Lu has a new atmosphere, the crisis is still not resolved. The reason why Yang Hu was able to control the government of Lu before was because they had something to rely on."

"Not to mention anything else, the reason why Gongshan was not free at that time was because Feiyi, which was entrenched in the high and thick walls of the city, dared to cooperate with Yanghu to imprison Hengzi. Under such circumstances, the best way is to be in the country of Lu , destroy those private towns.”

"In this way, those retainers will lose the protection of the city wall, so they dare not have the heart to offend the superior, so I ask Hengzi to agree to destroy Feiyi, Yiyi, and Yiyi, so as to prevent the retainers from causing chaos. "

"Furthermore, there is a saying in the rituals of Zhou that there is no city with a hundred pheasants. These three cities have passed three hundred feet, and they are not in harmony with the etiquette. Li, if you can't follow Zhou Li."

"After a long time, the retainers will lose the restraint of Zhou etiquette, so their selfishness will expand, and they will not put the dignity of the patriarch in their eyes, and then there will be chaos in the government."

Ji Sunsi felt a little moved by his request. After all, Feiyi is no longer under the control of Ji Sun's family. The remaining two cities are Mengsun's Yiyi and Shusun's Yiyi. This is not something he can decide.

Because after the Yanghu Rebellion, Ji Sun's strength was greatly weakened, so he said.

"This idea is very good, but this matter involves a lot, and Ji generally has no objection, but we need to discuss it with Uncle Sun and Meng Sun, and Feiyi is Mengzi's territory. Also let me know in advance."

Falling into the third rank is something that Confucius has planned for a long time. Only in this way can we weaken San Huan, gradually increase the strength of Marquis Lu, and gradually achieve the goal of returning the government to the monarch. Now that Ji Sunsi has an attitude, Confucius volunteered road.

"This is something that is beneficial to the state of Lu. I think the Jisun family and the Mengsun family will definitely agree. I am willing to go to the two families and persuade the two patriarchs. In this way, there is hope for the revitalization of our Lu country."

Confucius grasped the timing very accurately. As soon as the Yanghu incident happened, Shusun Zhouchou was still young and unable to control the family at all. It is very possible that a second Yanghu will appear over time.

But Zhongsun Heji was worried that in the future, in his own family, there would also be a situation where the master was weak and the minister was strong, so he had no intention of objecting, so the vigorous fall into the three capitals began.

Meng Di, who got the news, felt a little ridiculous. It's okay to say elsewhere, the defense area of ​​Yiyi is at the northern gate of Lu State, and Feiyi is in charge of the defense of the southern part of Lu State, although doing so can weaken Sanhuan and Meng Di. The real power in Ogi's hands.

But it will also make Lu State extremely dangerous. At present, Shusun Zhouqiu has responded to Confucius' order and started to demolish Liyi. Under this situation, Meng Di didn't want to make trouble with Qufu, so he replied Luhou .

It is said that the Qi army has repeatedly harassed the border. Under such circumstances, the demolition of Feiyi may make the soldiers fearful, so they request to wait until the border is stabilized for a period of time before dismantling it.

In any case, he had an attitude, and Ji Sunsi didn't want to fall out with Mengdi at this time, so he immediately agreed, but Zhongsun Heji's retainer, Gonglian Chufu, who guarded Yiyi, directly and flatly refused. .

His reason was the same as Mengdi's. After all, Yiyi is also the northern gate of Lu State. If it is directly demolished, if the border is in danger, what can be used to resist the enemy?It's just that this attitude is too strong.

After the news reached Qufu, Marquis Lu followed Ji Sunsi's suggestion and directly led troops to conquer Gonglian Chufu.

Because of this, Meng Di got a temporary respite, he said to Ji Ran somewhat depressed.

"According to this method, I'm afraid it won't take long, and Confucius won't be able to do it for long. The father of Gonglian is also a man who knows how to fight. Now that the Lu Kingdom has no suitable people to lead the army, how can it be possible to take Yiyi?"

Regarding what Confucius did during this period of time, Ji Ran could only shake his head and smile wryly.

"This kind of thing is a good thing for internal affairs, but it is an out-and-out bad thing for defending against the enemy. Nowadays, the world is in turmoil. It is inappropriate to do this kind of thing at this time. I am afraid that the result of the matter will be It will be the same as you said, my lord."

Sure enough, the battle of Yiyi had been fought for several months, and after winter, it still returned without success.

This made Lu Hou's just ignited ambition quietly extinguished again, and at this time, Qi State sent a group of beauties to Qufu in order to tie the Lu State together, and quickly soothed Lu Hou's fragile heart. In it, ambition is buried.

But Confucius was not willing to fail, and wanted to continue to implement the policy of falling into the three capitals. This time, his goal was in Feiyi, but Ji Sunsi was very afraid of Mengdi, worried that this would make Mengdi Di Xin was dissatisfied, so he pushed back and forth.
