Master Kong Zhongni

Chapter 240 Qufu War Lane (4K5)

With Yang Yue's order, the soldiers of the convoy raised their bows and aimed at Ji Sunsi, but when it came time to release the arrow, they all hesitated.

After all, Ji Sunsi is the master of the Ji family. The upper army has been ruled by the Ji family for 60 years. It is impossible for them to shoot at the master in public without doubts in their hearts.

Seeing that his subordinates did not dare to release arrows, Yang Yue felt anxious and angry, but he didn't bother to reprimand his subordinates at this time, but directly drew out the feathered arrow and raised the sandalwood bow, aiming at Jisunsi's back heart in front of him and shooting it out. .

It's just that this arrow may have been shot too fast and too fast, Yang Yue's aim of the arrow was off the mark, the arrow flew out by brushing the edge of the carriage, and nailed to the wall of the garden in front of him.

The quality is not enough, the quantity is enough.

Yang Yue was about to bend down to take the arrows and shoot them in succession, but unexpectedly there was a sound of piercing through the air in front of him.

A sharp arrow came in an instant, and before everyone could see what happened, they heard Yang Yue screaming, clutching his cheeks and falling from the carriage to the ground.

"what!!!"

The driver who was driving for him couldn't help but exclaimed: "Brigade Commander!"

He wanted to get out of the car to help Yang Yue, but before his feet touched the ground, another arrow suddenly struck, piercing his temple.

The warrior's burly body fell heavily on the dirt road, splashing a cloud of dust.

Everyone looked at the direction of the arrow in a blink of an eye, and at some point in the Meng family's garden opposite, a wooden high platform rose up, and it was the two brothers who stood shoulder to shoulder on the high platform—Lu Zhishan, who was good at archers, Yan Xi, Yan Gao.

Yang Hu saw the two of them and immediately understood the situation.

"Little Mengsun, you are so brave, you actually took the lead!"

Yang Hu flicked the reins, picked up the long spear placed beside him, and chased after Ji Sunsi.

"Go away!"

When Ji Sunsi looked back, he happened to meet Yang Hu's face that was becoming ferocious due to anger.

"what?!"

He was paralyzed backward in fright, but his timidity at this critical moment saved his life.

Holding the rein in one hand, Yang Hu raised the long dagger with the other, and threw it like a javelin. The blade of the bronze dagger flew out along Jisunsi's crown, passed through the front of the cart, and threw Meng Shi, who was repairing the outer wall of the garden, The servant was nailed to the ground.

Seeing this, Gong Lianchu's father immediately stepped onto the high platform and shouted loudly: "Ji Zi, come in and close the door!"

Lin Chu was driving a carriage. He had driven a carriage all his life, but he had never felt like this before.

The wind whistled in his ears, the arrow grazed his side face and hit his right arm, as if some viscous liquid was flowing on his torso.

But at this moment, he had no time to care about whether it was blood or sweat.

From here to Meng's garden is only a few tens of feet away, but Lin Chu feels that this journey has already completed more than half of his life.

Lin Chu yelled loudly, and the carriage galloped past. Several people were overturned by the angry horse because they couldn't dodge in time.

Four fine horses exerted their strength together, and the hoofs of sixteen horses were chaotic.

Some horses jumped over the high gate of the garden, but some accidentally bumped into the threshold of the closed gate.

The carriage rolled over in an instant, but the powerful inertia drove it forward, and it was thrown into the garden like a whip whipped out.

Chufu Gonglian saw that Ji Sunsi and Lin Chu had entered the garden, so he didn't have time to inquire about their safety, but ordered decisively.

"Close the door and climb high to defend against the enemy!"

Meng's archers, who were ambushing in the garden, stepped on the temporary slopes to climb up the mound, condescending and shooting arrows outward.

And those servants of the Meng family standing outside the garden also tore off their coats one after another, took out the weapons they had prepared early in the morning, and formed a formation outside.

Yang Hu wanted to continue the pursuit, but Meng's rain of arrows forced him to retreat.

While raising his wooden shield to block the arrows, he also shouted loudly to the front.

"I heard that when a gentleman fights, he must wait for the enemy to form a good battle formation before attacking. Gong Lianzi reads poems and books and understands etiquette. Why do you act like a villain?"

Gong Lianchu's father did not buy Yang Hu's aggressive tactics, he retorted.

"I heard that a gentleman does not steal, and a virtuous man does not steal. You are a thief minister, you steal the Ji family first, then steal the state affairs, steal the family and the country, and dare to steal the name of a gentleman! Mencius, let me kill you!" thief!"

When Yang Hu heard this, he knew that there must be no turning back between him and the Meng family.

He organized his chariots to attack the gardens in two waves, but after the results were not satisfactory, he finally decided to withdraw here temporarily.

He ordered the servant beside him to say.

"The situation has changed. Please inform the various ministries immediately. Ziwo is stationed at the south gate, Zixie is stationed at the upper east gate, Gong Ji is stationed at the north gate, Shusun Zhi is stationed at the bottom of the spine, and unclesun leads the third brigade of the upper army to attack unclesun. Sir, be sure to capture the traitor Uncle Sun Zhouchou alive! There must be no mistake!"

"Leader!"

"Yangzi, where are we going now?"

Yang Hu stretched out his hand to break off the arrow stuck in his shoulder, and ordered angrily: "The rest of you, follow me into the palace and protect the monarch!"

……

Just when Yang Hu was about to turn his head and head towards the palace, someone had already arrived at the palace one step ahead of him.

Seeing the crowd of men in tufted fur standing under the steps, the palace guard raised his long dagger in shock and asked sharply.

"Who is coming, why did you enter the city with weapons privately?"

Zaiyu raised his hand to signal Tuqiu Jiashi to wait here, and he himself quickly stepped up the high steps to report.

"There is a change in Qufu, and Zaiyu, the doctor Tuqiu, specially leads the army to protect the monarch Zhouquan."

Looking at the well-equipped Tuqiu armored soldiers in the audience, the Gonggong soldiers dare not believe Zai Yu's words easily.

Just when they didn't know what to do, Huben's Gong Ruoqi, who was in charge of guarding the palace, stood on the high wall and asked Zaiyu.

"Zaizi's words, what is the proof?"

As soon as Gong Ruoqi finished speaking, he heard a gentle voice behind him.

That is Gong Xiyuru, a minister who often accompanies Luhou and a member of Lixinhui.

"Gongruozi, please open the gate of the palace according to the order of the monarch."

Gong Ruoqi turned his head to look at Gongxi Yuru, full of doubts in his heart: "Is it really an order from the monarch? Please wait a moment, Gongxizi, before I send someone to ask the monarch for instructions."

Seeing that he wanted to find someone to check with the monarch, Gong Xiyu was a little flustered.

But before he could stop him, he heard the sound of horses running along the palace road.

Uncle Rong Pubu, who was in charge of driving for Marquis Lu, rode in the car and asked loudly, "Why doesn't the king open the gate of the palace when he is on tour?"

When Gong Ruoqi saw this, he hurriedly reported back, "Please report back to the monarch. Doctor Tuqiu and Zaiyu gathered outside the palace with armored soldiers. I have some concerns, so I really dare not open the palace gate lightly!"

Uncle Bucheng heard the words, lifted the curtain of the car and said a few words, and then replied with a loud voice.

"The monarch wants to ask for details, so come and report back!"

Gong Ruoqi didn't dare to be negligent when he heard the words, hurriedly walked down the high wall in three steps and two steps, and came to Luhou's car and bowed to report.

"If your servant abandons me, I will pay my respects..."

Before Gong Ruoqi could finish speaking, he felt as if something sharp was holding back his back.

Gong Ruoqi was sweating coldly on his forehead, at this moment he looked up again, only then did he realize that someone else was sitting in Lu Hou's car.

Although this man was about the same size as Lu Hou, and the clothes he wore were also similar to Lu Hou's dress, but the lines on the clothes clearly showed that this man was not a prince with seven lives, but a man with one life.

Besides, Marquis Lu wouldn't carry a handful of yarrow for fortune-telling everywhere he went, and he wouldn't mutter about "good luck and bad luck" all day long.

Standing behind Gong Ruoqi, Bu Shucheng said in a low voice.

"Gong Ruozi, Yang Hu plotted to rebel, Doctor Tu Qiu led the army to rescue. For the safety of the king, please order to open the gate of the palace."

There is a saying that people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Now that Gong Ruoqi's life is in the hands of Bu Shucheng, he can't help but refuse.

Gong Ruoqi shouted loudly: "Open the gate of the palace and welcome Dr. Tuqiu!"

The palace gate creaked open, and Zaiyu waved his hand and shouted: "Enter the palace and defend the king!"

Tuqiu soldiers rushed forward, followed Zaiyu and Shen Shu into the palace, and went straight to the east bedroom where Luhou was.

At this time, the east bedroom was also very lively, Yan Hui, Gongzu Gouzi and Zuoren Ying all bowed down in front of Luhou, telling him the news of Yanghu's rebellion.

On the other side stood Yang Hu's henchmen in the palace who were yelling at them.

"It's all nonsense, the monarch, Yangzi is loyal to the country, he is the governor of Ji's family, and he is also the minister of Lu.

In the Yu family, Yangzi is a direct minister.In the country, Yangzi is a loyal minister.Such a virtuous person, how can they allow them to slander? "

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Yangzi's visit is just to fight against the country, and he has no intention of offending you. You just need to sit firmly in the palace and wait for Yangzi's good news."

"San Huan is a thief of the country, and has repeatedly framed the country's Zhongliang. Yang Zi is seeking rebellion for the country this time, and he will correct the atmosphere of the Lu country. You don't have to worry too much."

"My servant implores you to punish Yan Hui, Gongzu Gouzi, and Zuo Renying."

When Lu Hou saw the current situation, he couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.

But at least one thing is certain, that is, Yang Hu should really be making trouble again.

But whether it is Yang Hu attacking San Huan or San Huan attacking Yang Hu, Marquis Lu doesn't care and doesn't care, he only has one request, that is, you are the ones who beat you, don't get me involved.

It's not that Marquis Lu didn't have the guts to meet Sanhuan and Yanghu, but that his strength really didn't allow it.

When Lu Zhaogong was the last monarch, although the Lu Kingdom lost most of its control over the army due to the "Abolishing the Chinese Army" reform, at least it was able to gather some people who were loyal to the government.

It is also because of this that Lu Zhaogong dared to say that "the Ji family will be wiped out", and if the Meng family and the Shusun family hadn't sent troops to rescue the Ji family, maybe Zhaogong would have succeeded.

It's just that after Duke Zhao failed and went into exile abroad, there was a period of nine years without a monarch in the country of Lu.

In these nine years, what Sanhuan will do, I can figure it out with my butt.

So when Duke Zhao died and the current Marquis of Lu succeeded to the throne, the position of Marquis Lu he got was basically equivalent to an honorary title.

When he was a doctor, he was called son Song, but now he is the king of the country, he is called Luhou Song.

In addition, how many soldiers he controlled before, and how many soldiers he still controls now.

No matter whether it is the upper army or the lower army, he can't control any army.

If it really broke his face, Lu Hou would not be considered the most powerful group among the doctors of the Lu State, let alone compete with Yang Hu or Sanhuan.

Faced with the chaos in Qufu, Lu Hou felt that it would be safer to place his hand before finding out which one had the upper hand.

Marquis Lu ordered: "I don't understand what happened, but Yang Zi and the three families were able to fight.

However, the current situation is still unclear, and the widows don't know whose faults should be investigated and whose credits should be rewarded.

It is better to order Huben to close the gate of the palace first, and then make a judgment after the truth is revealed. "

As soon as Lu Hou finished speaking, he heard a rush of footsteps outside the door.

The tigers who were originally guarding the east bedroom rushed into the door in a panic, shouting: "Your Majesty, it's not good! Doctor Tuqiu led people to surround the east bedroom!"

"what?!"

Lu Hou was startled for a moment, and accidentally knocked down the wrench next to him to the ground. With a bang, the wrench shattered, and water droplets burst out, splashing all over his body.

As for Yan Hui and the others, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Here I come!"

And Yang Hu's party members were equally overjoyed.

"Zaizi is here!"

The two groups of people smiled at the same time, but after a while, they frowned at the same time.

"How about you?"

Lu Hou was also in a daze.

Which side does Jae Yu belong to? Why are the two groups of people so happy to see him coming?

Before he could figure it out, he saw Zaiyu stepping into the palace in military uniform with sword and armor in hand, and came to Lu Hou to salute.

"Da Xingren, Doctor Tuqiu, Zai Yu, pay homage to Your Majesty."

Lu Hou looked at Zai Yu, and couldn't figure out his pulse for a while, so he had to ask: "Zai Zi, who is this?"

Zaiyu didn't talk too much nonsense: "Yanghu is causing trouble in the city. The thieves killed the people and harmed the loyal and good. The ministers asked the emperor to allow us to lead the army to put down the rebellion."

As soon as these words came out, the face of the Yanghu Party changed like a June sky.

"Zaizi..."

"This……"

"It's different from what we said!"

Lu Hou glanced at the Tuqiu soldiers standing outside the East bedroom. He looked at the armor shining brightly under the sun, and knew that it was time for him to make a statement.

Marquis Lu rose up against the case and cursed angrily: "It's unreasonable! The three Huan are the pillars of the country, and Yang Hu's raising troops in the capital is tantamount to conspiracy. Doctor Tuqiu, I order you to lead the loyal soldiers of the two armies to suppress !"

Zaiyu bowed and said: "My minister, Zaiyu, take orders."

After finishing speaking, Zaiyu waved his hand, drew out his sword, and pointed at the Yanghu Party member: "Take it down for me!"

……

At this time, Yang Hu was still unaware of the changes in the palace.

When he encountered obstacles in the garden, he immediately turned his spearhead, returned to Qufu from the upper east gate, and headed towards Dongshi.

In the past, the Dongshi Market was bustling and bustling, but today there is no one there.

Women and children in Qufu hid in their houses, looking out at the bustling soldiers on the street.

As for the men in Qufu, each of them was ordered by the emperor and was mobilized by the whole city.

The households near the East City are all affiliated to the Shangjun, the reason why Yang Hu didn't rush to the palace immediately was to gather people here.

According to the original plan, Ji Wei should lead the army to wait here.

Unexpectedly, Yang Hu walked to Dongshi, but Yang Hu looked around, but he didn't find any trace of him.

Just when Yang Hu was about to get angry, he found a familiar face in front of him.

It was Feiyi Zaigong Shan Buxuan.

Gongshan Buxuan was flying the banner of the Ji clan, and behind him were not only Feiyi disciples, but also well-dressed soldiers.

It's just that these soldiers have one thing in common, almost all of them have blood.

Seeing this, Yang Hu immediately dared to say something was wrong, he asked loudly.

"Zixie, didn't I ask you to guard the upper east gate? Why did you come into my army!"

Gong Shan didn't hear the words, he just stood on the chariot and sneered.

"Yang Hu! You hijacked the lord and plotted to betray the Ji family!

Although I, Gongshan Buxuan, am a warrior, I know the word loyalty!
I used to follow you, but I was deceived by you.Fortunately, Zaizi Tuqiu explained it in time, so that I knew where I was going and saw your sinister intentions.

Now, the lord has been harmed by you, and he does not know whether he will live or die.As a minister of the Ji family, how can I not avenge the Lord?

The fat little gentleman has an order, the soldiers in the army, everyone who sees you, can kill him.

I lead the army to suppress the rebellion, you rebellious thief, how dare you not confer the leader! "

"Zixie, you!"

Yang Hu still wants to say more, but Gong Shan does not want to give him a chance to speak.

He picked up the drumsticks, waved his arms as strong as a rock, and slammed them on the skinned drum in front of him.

The drums were played, and Gongshan Buxuan shouted loudly: "Loyal and righteous people, follow me to hunt for thieves!"

Three chariots lined up in front, twelve horses marched side by side, Fei Yi's disciples and soldiers of the upper army followed closely behind, and launched an attack on Yang Hu's troops.

Hearing the shouts of killing all over the city, Yang Hu cursed angrily: "Gongshan is not arrogant, you rebels, don't be complacent. After I prepare my army and gather all the ministries in the city, I will send chariots to take you away." All of them will be sent to heaven to be the company of the late emperor Ji Pingzi!"
