Spring and Autumn Confucian Heroes

Chapter 101 The war broke out

Xiao Mansion, Xiao Qi's expression was serious.

"Tap Tap!"

Footsteps came, but Huan Chang in white came in.

"Meet my uncle!"

Xiao Qi waved her hand and said, "Ah Chang doesn't need to be polite."

"My uncle called me here, why?"

Xiao Qi handed Huan Chang a letter, and after reading the contents, Huan Chang's expression changed slightly.

"Half a month ago, Kong Wenzhao, the lord of Pingyang City, sent [-] troops to attack Wenyang. Someone in Wenyang City responded, and the city was destroyed in five days."

"That Kong Wenzhao captured Wenyang, but he still didn't give up, and led the army to attack Bian County again."

"The city lord of Bian County was prepared and led his officers and soldiers to defend the city. He didn't want Kong Wenzhao to send experts to sneak into the city and assassinate the city lord of Bian County. Bian County changed hands."

"Now that Kong Wenzhao sent his troops to march northward, he besieged Xiangdu to death. Fortunately, Xiangdu's city wall is tall, and there are elite soldiers in the city, so it can be safe."

Xiangdu City is also in Shanyang County, it is the most majestic city in the south of Qufu, and there are many garrisons and masters.

It can also be said that Xiangdu is the southern gateway of Qufu.

If all the phases are lost, Qufu will be exposed to the soldiers of Pingyang City, and the ruling and opposition parties will be in turmoil.

Having said that, Xiao Qi showed deep worry on her face.

At the beginning, he reminded the monarch of Lu Kingdom, but the monarch thought that the Juye Gang's background was weak, so he didn't dare to start the war lightly.

Unexpectedly, if Kong Wenzhao didn't move, he would destroy two cities in a row.

In the entire Lu Kingdom, there are only 52 cities in three counties, and one-third of the cities are controlled by the local sect.

Now losing two more cities will definitely shake the country of Lu.

If the State of Lu couldn't deal a head-on blow to the Pingyang City army, there was no guarantee that the other sects who were watching would not take advantage of the fire to loot them.

The most important thing is that the geographical location of Xiangdu is too important to be missed.

Huan Chang was shocked and asked: "I have lived in Pingyang City since I was a child. Although I know that Pingyang City is not weak, there is no fifty thousand troops at all."

"Could it be that the Pingyang City army led by Kong Wenzhao is a mob assembled impromptu?"

Don't look at the vicinity of Pingyang City, those bandits are powerful, but compared with the regular army, they are completely vulnerable.

If Kong Wenzhao is willing, he only needs to condemn one general and dispatch two thousand soldiers to wipe out all the bandits.

An army is not the same as a bandit.

It would cost a lot of money and food to support [-] regular troops, and Pingyang City would definitely not be able to afford it.

Xiao Qi said with an ugly face: "This time the Juye Gang is out in full force, and the remaining cities under their rule will also gather their troops in Pingyang City and hand them over to Kong Wenzhao as commander."

"With the accumulation of the Juye Gang for so many years, it is not a problem to have an elite army of [-]."

When Huan Chang heard the words, he fell silent immediately.

The opponent is an elite army of [-], and it is definitely very difficult for Lu to win a complete victory.

If this army is not defeated early and aroused the covetousness of the top sect Daishan Sect, the destruction of the Lu Kingdom may be imminent.

"Uncle, does the King of Lu have any countermeasures?"

Xiao Qi replied: "Because before this, I have repeatedly advised the monarch, saying that the Juye gang is plotting evil."

"Although your majesty didn't believe it at first, after the incident happened, he was furious and apologized to me."

"Your Majesty thinks that I have a unique vision. Although I am a scholar, I am also proficient in the art of war, so I plan to send me to lead [-] troops to suppress the rebellion."

Huan Chang was startled, and thought to himself: "There are so many generals in Lu State, why don't you send them out, but send a scribe instead?"

As if seeing through Huan Chang's thoughts, Xiao Qi sighed, "The Juye Gang is no more than a third-rate sect. Although the Lu State is weak, it is easy to destroy it."

"Your Majesty is worried. The Juye Gang is a pawn played by the Daishan Sect, and they want to implement the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain."

"Daishan Sect and Mengshan Sect, although they haven't made any moves yet, they still have to guard against it."

"Your Majesty sent elite soldiers and strong generals to station at the border of these two sects. He wanted to keep the enemy out of the country, so he sent me to quell the Juye gang's rebellious army."

Huan Chang shook his head and said, "I don't agree with what your superior has done."

"As far as I know, Kong Wenzhaoxiong, the lord of Pingyang City, is bold and ambitious. It is very likely that the sect is developing too fast, which is why he wants to expand its power."

"For so many years, neither the Daishan Sect nor the Mengshan Sect have waged a war against the Lu State, and they are expected to be afraid. This time, they will definitely not send troops easily."

"If your majesty can use all his strength to wipe out the Juye Gang first with lightning speed, it will also have the effect of shaking the mountain and shaking the tiger."

"If you look forward and look backward, and divide your troops to guard against Daishan Sect and Mengshan Sect, it will definitely anger these two sects."

"If the prime minister's war drags on, these two sects will not let go of this great opportunity even if they don't have the intention to raise an army at the beginning, seeing that the state of Lu is in such a bad situation."

"My subordinates believe that Lu Guo should put down the chaos of the Juye Gang first, and then consider other things."

Xiao Qi frowned and thought for a long time, then shook her head and said: "Although what Ah Chang said is reasonable, but you are too young and your official position is not high enough, so you don't know many secrets."

"Daishan Sect and Mengshan Sect didn't dare to send troops to Lu State before, but it is not necessarily the case now."

"Actually, Your Majesty didn't pay attention to the Juye Gang at the beginning. In fact, his attention was attracted by the Daishan Sect, and most of the troops gathered on the border between the two."

"Compared to the top sect, Daishan Sect, the Juye Gang are nothing more than clowns."

"Maybe not only Lu, but other princes may also be at war. The day of great chaos is not far away!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Qi sighed deeply, and the worry in her eyes became more and more intense.

Huan Chang frowned, but didn't say anything more.

He is indeed too young and does not have enough experience. Sometimes he has limitations when looking at problems.

Moreover, Huan Chang also believes that Xiao Qi is not a mediocre person, since Xiao Qi said so, I am afraid there is really something hidden about this matter.

"Dare to ask uncle, when are you going to go out?"

"It's not too late. After the soldiers and horses are assembled, I'm going to go to Xiangdu."

Huan Chang pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "I am not talented, but I have been familiar with military books since childhood, and I have learned martial arts. I am willing to follow my uncle to the battlefield!"

Xiao Qi pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "I know you are very talented, the reason why I recommend you as Xuncheng Captain is to hone you."

"During this period of time, I have seen your growth, and I am quite gratified."

"Although the battle with the Pingyang City army this time is somewhat risky, if you can make military exploits with the army, you can also win a good future."

"Besides, I'm leading the army this time, so naturally I won't put you in a dangerous situation. You can go out with me."

Huan Chang took a deep breath and said, "Thank you uncle for your support!"
