Master Kong Zhongni

Chapter 202 Operation Code: Fog!fog!fog! (4K2)

At the foot of Liangshan, outside the camp of the Lu army, there were more than a dozen chariots driven by tall horses.

Several heavily armed soldiers of the Qi army stood side by side in the car. They held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other.

And the person in charge of leading these chariots was the Qi general Tian Shu who was in charge of submitting the declaration of war to the state of Lu.

Tian Shu's cloak fluttered high with the wind, he drew out his sword at his waist and pointed at the flying tower in the Lu army's camp, and gave instructions to the soldiers under him.

"Second and third sons, scold me severely! You scold me nicely, and after returning to the camp, enjoy wine and meat!"

When the soldiers of the Qi army heard the words, they all used all their strength to curse loudly.

"In Lu Zhiyang, there is a dog named Tiger! It is called Dog in Qi, and Tiger in Lu!"

"Yang Hu Yang Hu, I will eat meat, and you will eat millet. How dare you call yourself a tiger if you are so mournful?"

"How dare a female lie down on me be called a yang? How can a watchdog be called a tiger?"

"A Qi dog devours the master, and he will not survive noon. A Lu dog devours the master, a strong Yang tiger!"

Tian Shu couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard the scolding from his subordinates. He cheered loudly: "Good scolding! Second and third sons, everyone will be rewarded!"

Encouraged by the general, the soldiers suddenly became more energetic. Some even untied their skirts and took out their 'tits', preparing to paint impromptuly in front of the Lu army, drawing a wonderful brushwork of mountains and rivers.

Seeing this, General Lu Yangyue, who was in charge of guarding the Zhaifei Building in the Lu Army Camp, finally couldn't hold back anymore.

He punched the fence beside him, and the huge force shook the whole flying building.

And Ji Wei who was standing beside him blushed, pulled out the sword at his waist, and roared at the crossbowmen.

"All shoot me arrows! Shoot arrows! Shoot these dogs to death!!!"

The Lu Army's crossbowmen obviously held back for a long time, so as soon as Ji Wei's order was issued, the Lu Army's arrow rain poured down.

But before the rain of arrows fell, the chariot of the Qi army started to gallop.

Qi Ren scolded as he ran, while Tian Shu grinned, took out an arrow from the quiver beside him, held his breath, and bent down to set the arrow.

I saw his two hands loosen lightly, and the off-string arrows roared out like lightning.

The arrow feathers went straight to Feilou, unexpectedly brushing past Yang Yue's helmet side face.

Yang Yue was caught off guard, his body swayed, his helmet wobbled, and he fell directly from the flying tower.

When the Qi people saw this, they all shouted: "Cai!!!"

On the other hand, Yang Yue's eyes were about to burst, and he yelled at Tian Shu: "Huh! The servant! How dare you fight me for three hundred!"

Hearing this, Tian Shu laughed loudly and said, "Why don't you dare! Lu Zhi's humble fellow dares to compete with Qi Zhi's gentleman?"

When Yang Yue heard this, he felt a puff of energy directly hitting the top of the Tianling Gai, and he shouted loudly.

"Come here! Prepare a chariot and a horse for me, watch me go out to hunt for thieves, so as to strengthen my prestige in the Lu Kingdom!"

When Ji Wei heard this, he was so frightened that he hugged him quickly.

"Zikang, you can't do it! Yangzi has an order, the whole army is not allowed to attack, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded to show the public.

Although you are Yang Zi's younger brother, but Yang Zi has already ordered before, that in the military, you only talk about military law and don't distinguish between relatives and estrangements.

If you go out to fight now, regardless of victory or defeat, you will only die! "

Hearing this, Yang Yue felt that he couldn't breathe out of his chest.

He clenched his fists tightly, stretched his body, gritted his teeth and raised his eyes, and it took him a while to push Ji Wei away.

"Hey! I'm going to ask my brother to fight! If he doesn't agree, just let him kill me with one knife! Rather than being humiliated by Qi people here, it's better to die comfortably!"

As soon as Yang Yue finished speaking, he heard a few of Yang Hu's confidants responding loudly.

"I'll go with Zi Kang too!"

"I am coming too!"

"Let's petition together, we are not afraid that Yangzi will not agree!"

Seeing so many people supporting him, Yang Yue gained a lot of confidence.

"Okay! Everyone go together!"

After speaking, Yang Yue climbed down the ladder and led a group of generals towards Yang Hu's big tent.

He opened the door curtain and walked into the tent, before he could speak, he bowed down in front of Yang Hu.

Yang Hu was holding a copy of "36 Strategies" and was fascinated by it. When he looked up, he suddenly found a group of people kneeling in the tent.

He put down the book in his hand, first smiled, and then asked, "What are you doing?"

Yang Yue bowed and said: "The people of Qi insulted my national dignity of Lu and insulted your reputation, so far, do you not care about it at all?

Yang Yue is not talented, I implore you to allow me to fight, if I am not victorious, even if I am hacked into pieces, I dare not say a word!

But if you do not allow me to fight, I implore you to take me to military law now.

Although I, Yang Yue, am not a gentleman, I am just a villain, but I can no longer bear such insults! "

As soon as Yang Yue finished speaking, the rest of the generals also bowed their heads and said, "Please promise me to fight!"

Hearing this, Yang Hu didn't answer whether he agreed with them to play, but picked up the "36 Strategies" and asked them.

"Second and third sons are generals in the army, have you ever read the book "36 Strategies" written by Ziwo?"

The generals looked at each other when they heard the words.

Zaiyu's "36 Strategies" has been on sale in Qufu for two years. Because the price is much cheaper than the bamboo slips, and the content is novel, and it has the gimmick of a book of war, they naturally bought them all.

It's just that buying it doesn't mean reading it. Although Zaiyu enjoys a good name in Lu State, his record in the army is only shooting and killing Jushuai in the battle of attacking Ju.

In the eyes of this group of people, it was just that Zaiyu was lucky. At most, he could be regarded as a good shooter, but it did not mean that he was a man who knew how to fight.

So when they read "36 Strategies", they mostly glanced at it hastily, and didn't take it seriously.

Now that Yang Hu asks about "36 Strategies", they dare not say that they have really read and understood it.

As for Yang Yue, he got angry when he heard Jae Yu's name.

The reason why he hides in the camp every day to suffer anger is all thanks to Zai Yu.

If Yang Hu hadn't adopted his strategy and insisted on avoiding the battle and waiting for the right time and place, why would the Lu army be so humiliated?
Yang Yue replied directly: "What kind of insight can a pedantic Confucian scholar have?! If he has talent, go and defeat Gao Zhang now, otherwise, don't expect me to convince him!"

boom!
Yang Hu slapped the cases, stood up and cursed loudly: "Bold!"

Yang Yue originally wanted to talk back, but when he met his elder brother's stern gaze, he couldn't help softening, and even his tone of speech became much weaker.

"I……"

Yang Hu pointed at Yang Yue and cursed angrily: "Your father entrusted you to me in order to let me temper your character and make you a truly upright husband!
However, after a few years, you still only know how to be brave and ruthless, but you don't know how to fight.

Not only that, but he is also jealous of the virtuous and capable, and prides himself on ignorance and pride in not learning.In this way, how different you are from ordinary people! "

Yang Yue trembled from being scolded, and the generals who came to petition also trembled in fright.

Seeing this situation, the uncle and grandson hurried up to help smooth things over: "Yangzi, did you gain anything from Zaizi's "36 Strategies"?"

Yang Hu first gave Yang Yue a hard look, then let out a heavy breath, then calmed down, and said to his uncle Sun Zhe calmly.

"There is a trick in "36 Strategies", called Tiao Hu Li Shan.

Its commentary is written like this: wait for the sky to make it difficult, employ people to lure it, and go back and forth.

On the battlefield, wait until the natural conditions are unfavorable to the enemy before attacking, and use artificial illusions to lure the enemy.It is dangerous to take the initiative to attack, but it is beneficial to lure the enemy to attack.

The reason why the people of Qi have to repeatedly scold and fight in front of the battle is to provoke our army and lure us to fight against them in the unfavorable place of the reed swamp.

If we really went out to fight against the enemy, we would have fallen into the trap of the Qi people.

Qi's army will not last long if it penetrates into our country.

Soldiers from all over the country are called by the monarch, and they are rushing to support.

The envoys sent by our country to Jin for help are also on their way. Now Zheng Wei and other countries have rebelled against Jin. If the Jin division does not come to rescue our country, the eastern land will be in the hands of the Qi people.

The people of Qi must also understand this truth, so they also want to decide the outcome with our country as soon as possible so that they can free up their hands to deal with Jin.

The Qi army headquarters to which Guoxia belongs has been wandering in the area between Lu and Wei. This may not be because he is worried that the Jin people may send troops to aid our country, and at the same time crusade against the Wei country who betrayed the oath.

If not, why did Guoxia keep harvesting new grains and hoarding them in Weiguo?
The people of Qi did this, which was clearly preparing for the war against Jin.

So this battle, which seems to be a battle between Lu and Qi, is actually a battle between Jin and Qi!
The second and third sons can't understand this, they only know the gains and losses of a city and a pool, and only understand the spirit of fighting for every cent.

Is such a measure worthwhile? ! "

When the generals heard this, they couldn't help lowering their heads in shame.

"I'm so stupid, I can't understand Yangzi's intentions, I can't understand Zaizi's wisdom, I'm really ashamed."

Only Yang Yue still refused to accept: "But even if Dr. Tuqiu can write military books, does he know how to march and fight?"

When Yang Hu heard this, the anger that had just dissipated suddenly rose again.

But he didn't get angry, instead he stared straight at Yang Yue and said, "A few days ago, the Qi army sent envoys over, you should know about it, right?"

Yang Yue nodded and said: "I know. The envoy's words are still polite, if he is like today's general scolding, I will give him two lashes!"

"presumptuous!"

The more Yang Hu looked at this younger brother, the more he felt that he was useless. He scolded: "The two armies are fighting without humiliation. I am a dignified state of Lu, a state of ritual and music. How can I violate the etiquette and make people lose their tongues!"

Only then did Yang Yue realize that he had said something wrong, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "But what does the envoy from the State of Qi have to do with Dr. Tu Qiu?"

This time, without waiting for Yang Hu's answer, Uncle Sun Zhe frowned and thought about it, and asked.

"Yangzi, after the Qi envoy left, you left Zaizi alone to discuss the plan. Could it be that he has seen something from the Qi envoy's behavior?"

Yang Hu nodded slightly and said: "After the Qi envoy left, Zi Wo said to me: 'The envoy sent by the enemy is courteous but is stepping up his battle preparations, and is preparing to attack.

If the envoy speaks forcefully and assumes a forward posture, he is preparing to retreat.

If the enemy is not frustrated and asks for peace, it is another conspiracy.

The enemy is running fast and deploying his chariots, hoping to fight with me.

The enemy's half-advancement and half-retreat may be to lure me by pretending to be chaotic. '

I followed his teachings to speculate on the Qi people's intentions, and then sent out scouts to collect information. Sure enough, I found that the number of soldiers of the Guoxia Army that was originally active in Yangzhou had decreased.

Based on this calculation, Guoxia should have allocated part of his troops, ready to send them to cooperate with Gao Zhang to encircle our army.

But now that the people of Qi took the initiative to scold the formation, it seemed that the reinforcements sent by Guoxia had either arrived, or they were about to approach Onozawa. "

"what?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar.

"Gao Zhang's subordinate navy is already struggling to deal with it. If reinforcements come, this...how can this be done?"

Hearing this, Yang Hu snorted and asked, "So, now, do you still want to send troops to meet Gao Zhang?"

"But..." Hearing this, Ji Wei said in embarrassment: "Even if we don't leave the camp, what if the Qi army arrives and attacks our army?"

"That couldn't be better!"

Yang Hu got up and ordered: "Send me an order to all the armies to speed up the construction of flying towers in various places in the mountains, to observe the movements in all directions, and be alert to Qi people setting fire to smoke in the upper wind.

Our army does not have an advantage in water battles, if a Qi person dares to take the initiative to attack, he will definitely make him come and go!
In addition, the two military departments were ordered to strictly abide by the military orders.

Before Ziwo is ready, anyone who speaks out and takes the initiative to attack will be punished as a serious crime of collaborating with the enemy, and they will all be pushed out of the camp gate and beheaded to show the public, so as to serve as an example to others! "

When the generals heard the words, they didn't dare to object any more, they just bowed down and bowed their hands in worship: "I accept the general's order!"

Yang Hu watched them leave the big tent, and after a long time, Fang leaned back with a long sigh of relief.

He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "My son, my son! If the time doesn't come, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on anymore!"

……

As dusk fell, Zaiyu stood on a high place in the camp, closing his eyes slightly, feeling the changes in the atmosphere of heaven and earth.

This kind of behavior has almost become his repertoire.

Shen Shun was standing beside him, watching him quietly, not knowing whether to speak or not.

Suddenly, Zai Yu asked, "Zi Zhou, is there any wind?"

"wind?"

Shen Shun looked up at the big flag erected in the center of the camp, and the flag was hanging down listlessly, as if he was a soldier of the Lu army who had been holding back his anger these days but had nowhere to vent his anger.

Shen Shun replied, "There is no wind."

Jai Yu closed his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Then, are there any clouds?"

Shen Shun raised his head and glanced at the dim yellow sky, which was endless and cloudless.

"No cloud either."

Zai Yu's smile deepened: "How is the performance of the instrument placed near the former military camp, among the reeds?"

Shen Ying replied: "The needles are all lowered, exceeding the red line you drew."

Jai Yu's eyes slowly opened, and a smile almost overflowed from his eyes.

"It's already dusk, how do you feel the temperature here is compared to that at the bottom of the mountain?"

Shen Jian was taken aback when he heard the words.

He had just come back from the reed marshes, and at this moment, recalling the temperature on both sides carefully, Shen Shun suddenly felt puzzled.

"It's really weird... Obviously the camp is located in the mountains, but it seems that the temperature here is much warmer than that at the bottom of the mountain. What's going on?"

Jae Yu laughed out loud when he heard this.

Laughter spread throughout the mountains and forests, resounding through the four fields.

Zai Yu said loudly: "Destroy the enemy today!"

He took out a letter from his waist, handed it to Shen Shun and said, "Immediately send someone to deliver this letter to the tent of the Chinese Army, and send it to Yang Zi to unseal it himself!"

……

A moment later, in front of the Chinese army tent.

Yang Hu took the envelope from the messenger and opened it without thinking.

There are only three small characters written on the letter—fog!fog!fog!

When Yang Hu saw this letter, his expression was lifted. He immediately stood up and shouted repeatedly.

"The order!"

As soon as the order was issued, several soldiers immediately walked into the big tent, and half knelt in front of Yang Hu to obey orders.

Yang Hu's face was solemn, and he ordered in a serious voice.

"Immediately issue an order to the entire army and pass on orders to all ministries. The number of days has changed. Everything will be done according to Dr. Tuqiu's plan!"

　I'm dead, let's bite a lighter for everyone.
