After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 49 Please Take a Visit to Osawa

Once entering the territory of Lu, the scenery is different, and there are more and more open plains.

Monty, how does it look like?Meng Di felt a little timid because of his closeness to his hometown. According to the plan, he entered the State of Lu in the name of returning to his hometown to visit his relatives.

"Would Lu Guozhen agree to entrust Mengdi?" Meng Di was still a little unbelievable that he could acquire a large area of ​​land with just one surname.

"My lord doesn't know something. Yang Hu is actually fearful in his heart because he is carrying out the country's mission as an accompanying minister. With the lord's strength, he will definitely ask him to help him. It's nothing to be fooled by."

After the Sanhuan Rebellion of the State of Lu, the government was controlled by the Meng, Shusun, and Ji clans. At this time, the young masters of the three clans were all young. .

The Ji family is the largest family in the Lu State, so Yang Hu has become the most powerful official of the Lu State and governs the Lu State.

However, Yang Hu knew that he came from a humble background and was lonely and lonely. He was worried that the young master Sanhuan would not be able to control him as he got older, so he had been seeking external help in an attempt to truly control the State of Lu.

"Calculating the time, those bronze swords are almost in Yang Hu's hands."

The bronze sword is in Yang Hu's hand.

"Mengshi?" Yang Hu stared at the bamboo slip in his hand.

"Most people in Mengdi are descendants of the Meng family." Ji Wu, who was kneeling opposite, answered, Ji Wu was a concubine of the Ji family and was close to Yanghu.

"So it's true to say that it's true to go back to the hometown to visit relatives and worship ancestors?"

"It should be true. This descendant of Mengshi didn't know what was good or bad, so he gave a hundred bronze swords to the monarch, and it didn't end up at Yangzi's place."

Yang Hu waved his hand, the hundred bronze swords hadn't been seen by him yet, since he came from a remote place in Wuyue, it's normal that he didn't know about Lu's affairs.

"Have you ever heard of Handi?"

"I've never heard of it, I guess it's just a place of barbarians."

"Don't underestimate him. This person can hand out a hundred copper swords and have two thousand soldiers accompanying him. He must be quite powerful."

"Why, Yangzi intends to recruit?"

Yang Hu pondered for a while, then said: "I heard that Mr. Wu is familiar with Liu Xiazhi?"

"It's not acquaintance, I have met several times." Ji Wei replied awkwardly.

Liu Xiazhi, known as Robber Zhi, gathered thousands of refugees and ran amok in Lu territory as a bandit, causing the Lu court quite a headache. If it was reported that the Ji family had a relationship with him, his reputation would be greatly damaged.

Yang Hu knew it well, and ordered: "Tell Liu Xiazhi that there are people from Yue Kingdom who have brought thousands of catties of US dollars and countless valuables. You can take them."

"Why did you give it up to Liu Xiazhi?" Ji Wei asked strangely, "Why don't we go grab it ourselves."

"Hmph!" Yang Hu snorted coldly, Ji Wei was so frightened that he didn't dare to say much, and sat upright.

"Dignified Ji family, how can you do the act of thieves! You should bring more soldiers and watch from the side, and don't let the thieves kill the descendants of Mengshi."

Tengcheng is in the south of Lu State. The Yellow Emperor had 24 sons, fourteen of whom were granted the surname by land, and the tenth son was named Teng. The word "Teng" first appeared here, and it was the only way to go north to Qufu, the city of Lu.

"My lord, there are thousands of teams ambushing in the canyon ahead, their armors are messy, they seem to be thieves and refugees."

"My lord, there are people spying on the mountain, and the number of people is unknown."

After passing Tengcheng, which is the hinterland of Lu State, tens of miles away from Tengcheng, there was a situation reported by the explorer.

During this trip, he brought out the only hundred horses in the Han area, surrounded by scouts on horseback, which was a habit formed by Meng Di in his previous life.

It seems that it was done by someone with a heart, Meng Di and Ji Ran looked at each other.

"Thousands of people, their clothes and armor are messy, could it be Liu Xiazhi?" Ji Ran twirled his beard and pondered.

Meng Di had heard of Liu Xiazhi, known as Robber Zhi, who was good at war, and led thousands of refugees and bandits to run rampant in Lei Ze and Daye Ze west of Qufu.

The terrain there is complicated, with lakes and depressions everywhere, and there are countless hills where people can hide during the period, which is not suitable for large troops to attack.Robber Zhi took advantage of the domestic disputes in Lu and the oppression of Qi outside, and attacked everywhere.In the towns that pass by, the big country guards the city, and the small country is protected, and the people suffer.

With the [-] elites under him, it is not difficult to defeat these mobs, but if they hit them head-on, they will inevitably suffer a lot of damage.

It is not feasible to take a detour, it will take more than a hundred miles, and if you avoid these bandits, you will definitely be looked down upon by the people of Lu.

"Sir, do you know if there is any place nearby that is easy to defend but difficult to attack?"

"There is an abandoned village to the east."

"Okay, Han Zhan, you lead a thousand and five soldiers to hide near the village, and Jing Tie leads five hundred soldiers to follow me to the village."

The village is not far away. It may be to ward off wild animals. There is a half-person-high soil fence outside the village.An expert is an expert, and he is so familiar with the small villages of Lu State, Meng Di is very satisfied.

Since he dared to plot against him, he simply took this opportunity to give Lu Guo a blow.

Liu Xiazhi has a rough appearance, and it is difficult to tell his age just by his appearance. This time he brought more than 3000 refugees out, and they are quietly waiting on both sides of the canyon.

"Boss, will the Ji family be cheating?" A little boss came up and said quietly.This is not their usual range of activities, so they are very cautious, lest they fall into a trap.

"Don't worry, the Ji Clan is now in the power of Yang Hu, and it's too late to deal with Sanhuan, so there's no time to deal with us." Liu Xiazhi waved his hand, "Send someone to find out where the Yue people are."

Not long after, someone reported that Yue people camped in an abandoned village.

"Camp? It's still early, what the hell are these Yue people doing?" Liu Xiazhi was a little puzzled.

"Boss, do you want to wait any longer?"

"Wait for your head! Let's go and have a look." Liu Xiazhi glared at the confused subordinate, "By the way, how many people are there? How many armored men?"

"This..." The inquiring person disturbed his head and couldn't explain clearly.

"Forget it, but to deliver some belongings, there must not be many people." Liu Xiazhi waved his hands proudly and set off first.I am used to arrogance in the country of Lu. If it weren't for the army of a country, the ordinary soldiers really didn't take it seriously.

Soon they arrived at the village where the Han army camped. The soldiers held swords and bows, and were guarding behind the soil enclosure.

It seems that the news has been leaked, and these Yue people are already prepared.

Liu Xiazhi frowned and walked around the village. After seeing that there were only a few hundred people inside at most, with their family members, he suddenly burst out laughing.With such little strength, he actually tried to use the low soil to resist. With a wave of his hand, his men rushed up behind him and surrounded the village.

"Cough cough" Liu Xiazhi cleared his throat, and with his hands behind his back, Shi Shiran walked to the front of the soil enclosure, and said elegantly, "Liu Xiazhi from Lu is here to visit, please ask the master inside to answer."

Ji Wei also sneaked to the vicinity with the soldiers, and shook his head when he saw this, he never thought that Liu Xiazhi valued the property so much that he brought three to 4000 people, and it seemed that he would have to come forward to beg for mercy and redeem the Mongolian treasures. His descendants.

Meng Di and the others stood at the height of the village, smiling and saying nothing, this Liu Xiazhi is good at commanding troops, at least the bandits under him can advance and retreat with restraint, order and prohibit, if it is not for the poor weapons in their hands, they can almost be called a strong army.

Seeing that no one answered, Liu Xiazhi's face remained unchanged, and he raised his voice and said it again.

Jing Tie smiled and jumped onto the soil fence, arched his hands and said, "It's easy to say, my lord wants to ask you what's the matter?"

Seeing that the Yue people were so ignorant, Liu Xiazhi was furious in his heart, but he still smiled on his face, and said: "Zhi is from Lu, how can you be impolite when you have a visitor from afar, I am here to invite your lord to visit Daze .”

Jing Tie didn't seem to understand the meaning of the words, so he waved his hands and said, "No, I won't go. My lord has said that I'm carrying a lot of valuables this time, and I'm in a hurry to go to Qufu to have an audience with Marquis Lu. No time to go."

When Liu Xiazhi heard about the valuables, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "If you have time, go to Daze first and see Lu Hou in time, my sons, please honor your guests!"

"No!" They all responded in unison, without saying anything about the formation, and rushed towards the surrounding soil.
