After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 464
At this time, Jin State and Qi State sent troops to the old land of Lu State again. After Chen He in Qufu got the news, he began to carefully examine the map in front of him, preparing to find out a countermeasure. After looking at it for a long time, he finally spoke. Said.

"This time, Jin and Qi's men and horses came fiercely, and their total army was nearly 70, while we had only 10,000 infantry and 30 cavalry, and the rest were [-]+ rural soldiers. Less than [-]."

"So this battle can't be head-to-head with the enemy. We must use some extraordinary methods. Otherwise, it will be difficult to resist such a large army. What do you think?"

At this time, Hou Fang's face changed slightly, because when Chen He calculated these troops, he did not include his own army, which made him a little puzzled, did Chen He already know something?So he opened his mouth and said.

"I still have [-] chariot soldiers in my hand, General Chen seems to have forgotten it?"

But Chen He shook his head, with a very sincere expression on his face, and explained.

"Of course I haven't forgotten, but Qufu City needs people to guard it. I just said that it can be dispatched to fight, so I didn't include a part of General Hou's troops."

However, Ran Qiu, who followed Ji Sunfei to surrender, changed his face slightly. Although he said that Han Guo had a lot of criticisms about his surrender, but for a while, Lu Guo was under the new policy of Han Guo.

It can be said that it is changing with each passing day, and the state of Lu has shown a different attitude. This scene is completely different from the past, and it also made him start to think seriously about the general trend of the world today.

Ran Qiu is quite familiar with the Hou prisoners who voluntarily surrendered to Han. After all, the two had dealt with each other in Lu before. He is not a person who is willing to take the initiative. There are plans.

Chen He saw that the two of them were silent, so he gave orders to Hou Zuo.

"General Hou, go back immediately to rectify the troops, prepare for the defense of the city, and check the inventory. If there are any shortages, please report them as soon as possible, so as not to be caught off guard."

After hearing this, Hou Peng immediately stood up and bowed to accept the order. After he left, Chen He took a look at Ran Qiu.

"Ziyou is a man of great talent. Under the current situation, he should have some insights, right?"

At this time Ran Qiu shook his head lightly, smiled wryly, and said.

"Although I am assisting Ji Kangzi in the State of Lu, my ability is insufficient. Otherwise, there would not be the defeat of the State of Lu last time. It's just that the general now has to resist the army with weak troops."

"I'm afraid the thing to do before dispatching troops should be to settle down first, right? Otherwise, if there is turmoil in the rear, it is very likely that the general's plan will fall short, and Qufu may even be lost."

What he said was obvious, and he was reminding Chen He to be careful of any changes in Qufu City.

After understanding these words, Chen He smiled lightly, and spoke with great meaning.

"The king of Han's achievement today is definitely not a fluke. Ziyou is a man of great talent. Recently, you have also seen the changes in the state of Lu. I don't know if you have made up your mind and decided what to do next. What to do?"

After Ran Qiu heard this, he also had some conflicts in his heart. Through the letters with the Confucian disciples, he already knew what happened in Huai City recently. Now that Zuo Qiuming is getting older, he seems to have lost some vigor.

He began to focus on imparting some Confucianism that is practical in the world, that is, no longer talking about rituals and laws, but proceeding from the actual situation, as far as possible according to the current situation, to re-plan the future of Confucianism, so as to follow the trend.

When this kind of change was first encountered, Ran Qiu's heart grew a little, but since Bu Shang became an official in the Han Dynasty, this situation has quietly changed.

Many Confucian students gradually began to turn to the study of manipulating the world, and Ran Qiu also began to pay attention to it. Because of this, he had to admit that after such a transformation, Confucianism can be developed no matter where it goes. Director.

This completely changed the situation that Confucianism is famous but it is difficult to be an official. Now that Chen He asked about it face to face, Ran Qiu lowered his head and thought for a while, then slowly raised his head, and his eyes gradually became firmer.

"The King of Han is indeed a talented and broad-minded monarch. In this case, I am willing to serve the King of Han. Before I tell you the truth, I saw that Hou Peng evaded when he spoke, so I was a little worried. I ask the general to be careful."

After hearing this, Chen He smiled slightly, then turned and entered the inner room, and took out a bamboo slip after a while.

"This is the news obtained by our spies. Now seeing Jin and Qi joining forces to attack, Hou criminal has been a little shaken in his heart, and has already had some contact with the other party. I am afraid that he is hesitating now."

"If he makes some stupid choices, then he will seek his own death. Ziyou is a humble gentleman. Since you said that you want to join the King of Han, then I will believe you."

"There is another important thing to ask Ziyou. Now that the strong enemy is outside and our army is too small, we must win by cleverness, so I want to hand over the house in Qufu to Ziyou."

"However, after I leave, I'm afraid that the prisoner will relapse. If something really happens, then you can stay in the army with peace of mind. Naturally, someone will handle the matter. If you have time, you can go to the big boss Persuade Fan Zi."

"The King of Han was Aicai after he captured Tengcheng that day, and he didn't make things difficult for Fanzi, and he is strong by nature. I'm afraid that if others go, he may not be able to persuade him. If Ziyou and Fanzi can jointly control Qufu, then I can also Take it easy."

Now that Ran Qiu had made a decision in his mind, he naturally said without any hesitation.

"Since General Chen already has a countermeasure, I will accept this order. As long as I am still alive at home, Qufu will definitely not fall into the hands of the Jin army. I will do my best to deal with Fan Zi's matter."

Chen He breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had let go of a big worry, because Meng Di had specially explained when he left that Confucius had many apprentices, and although their abilities were uneven, most of their character was guaranteed .

If they can get their allegiance, then Han will be able to get a large number of officials, which is very necessary for the current situation. Now that Ran Qiu has expressed his attitude, this is a good sign.
