After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 428
Qufu City is the capital of the State of Lu. The political significance of winning here is very important. If you can stick to it and not lose it, it means that the current strength of the Han State can already compete with the Jin State.

After the war is over, the other small vassal states will have to weigh up what they will do in the future. This time the Jin State united, and the Lu State and the Wei State sent troops together, under the condition that the troops have an absolute advantage.

It also allowed the capital of the State of Lu to be occupied. This kind of news will definitely cause a sensation in the world. This is why Mengdi must let Boren guard this place, because from this point on, the relationship between the State of Han and the State of Jin will be decided. The offensive and defensive momentum was reversed.

Qufu is the best place for the Han Dynasty to challenge the century-old hegemony of the Jin Dynasty. Of course, there is another point, if Qufu can be firmly controlled in the hands, and the final victory of this battle will be won.

Then the Lu people will also lose their confidence in restoring their country. Although they still have a piece of territory in the Song area, it is just a piece of fat under the eyes of the Han. They will keep it for the time being, just to not stimulate the Jin too much. .

After Boren heard this, his face showed a cautious look, and he immediately clasped his fists.

"Please rest assured, my lord. As long as I am still alive, I will definitely live and die with Qufu. I will definitely buy enough time for the army if I swear to the death that I will not let the Jin army step into the city of Qufu."

At this time, Mengdi showed emotion on his face, and reached out to pat Boren on the shoulder.

"As long as we win this battle, our country of Han will be completely established. There is no vassal state in the world that can threaten the existence of our country of Han, so such a risk is worthwhile."

"You defend Qufu City here, and then I will lead my troops to fight all the way south to the vicinity of Xuecheng. At least we must create a supply line for our army. Only in this way can we be more sure of winning this battle. "

"And it can also make the troops of the Lu State and the Wei State panic, and make their food and grass shortages worse. With the ups and downs, our chances of winning will be greater."

"Of course, if Mr. Sun can win a complete victory this time, then Mr. Sun will definitely lead behind and echo with us. In this way, even if they are worn out, their coalition forces will be worn down."

This is the battle plan that Meng Di has considered for a long time recently and decided on, because one point must be considered, that is, the food in Qufu is insufficient.

And in a war like this one must first be in an invincible position, and then seek a big victory, otherwise, once the food is really cut off at the end, it will be too late to find a way to deliver supplies.

At this time, Boren's face also showed excitement, and he said immediately without any hesitation on his face.

"My lord, please rest assured, this subordinate knows what to do next."

Now staying in Qufu is Shusun Zhouchou. Seeing such a scene, he is naturally worried, not to mention Lu Hou, who has completely lost his square inch now. He is full of anxiety, walking back and forth on the main hall .

"It's a disaster, it's really a disaster. Now that a large number of Han troops have surrounded Qufu, what should we do next? Sima is the only one in the city now, so you have an idea."

"I heard that the Han army had a bed crossbow, which was a sharp weapon for attacking the city. It was because of this that Shangqiu, the capital of the Song Dynasty, was captured. Now, most of our army has been taken away by Ji Kangzi. Could it be said that if we fail to marry, we will be so lost?" Is it done?"

And at this time, Uncle Sun Zhouqiu, how can there be any good way?He was also a little restless, standing there thinking for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and took a step forward, cupping his hands and saying.

"Since the matter has come to this, the Jin army is now attacking Feiyi. We should stick to Qufu now. On the other hand, we should send people to inform the coalition forces, so that after they take Feiyi, they will return quickly to help."

"Although the Han army has bed crossbows, Qufu City is also a big city with high walls and thick walls. As long as we make up our minds, we will definitely be able to defend it. Your Majesty must not panic at this time, otherwise it will be true. Disaster."

"Nowadays, as long as we resist for longer, the final battle situation will be more beneficial to the coalition forces. Your Majesty should order at this time to call on those who can fight in Qufu City to join the army. This is the best policy."

Anyway, this is finally an idea, Lu Hou agreed without thinking about it, and said quickly.

"Since this is the case, Sima immediately ordered that no matter what, the Han army should not be allowed to invade Qufu. If so, the Lu State's ancestral temple will not be preserved. How can I go to see my ancestors in the future?"

Uncle Sun Zhouqiu, after hearing this, he was also full of thoughts. Now he is suffering and can't tell. Uncle Sun still has someone who can fight in his hands, and that is the retainer. He is not only tall and big, but also High martial arts, superb archery.

But this person is very arrogant, and he has no scruples in doing things, which has already made Shusun Zhouchou a little worried, but under the visa-free situation, if the waiting criminals are not allowed to lead the army to resist the Han army, his hands Already no one is available.

Speaking of which, it was a helpless move. Uncle Sun Zhouchou didn't like Confucius, the idler of the motherland, and spoke ill of him everywhere, and tried his best to slander his reputation, that's why.

Most of the Confucian students in Lu State did not have a good impression of Shusun Zhouchou, and since Confucius punished Shao Zhengmao, Confucianism has gradually flourished in Lu State.

The matter of Shusunzhou's hatred of destroying Confucius also aroused considerable repercussions in the state of Lu, and it was specifically recorded in the Analects of Confucius.

This also made the Shusun family's already weak strength even worse. After returning to the mansion, Shusun Zhouchou was frowning. After thinking twice, he decided to use the criminals to resist the Han army, so he sent someone to find him.

After the meeting, Shusun Zhouchou was silent for a moment, and then he spoke.

"Now that the Han army has come to the city of Qufu, at this time, it is the time when we are serving our country. You are brave and brave. Now it is time for you to show your strength. I don't know if you have the confidence."

After the prisoner heard this, his eyes rolled slightly, and he patted his chest with a look of disdain on his face.

"Although the Marquis of Han's martial arts is famous all over the world, I am still not afraid of him. As long as he can give me a thousand chariots, it will be easy to defeat the Han army."
