Master Kong Zhongni

Chapter 241 Master Let Surrounded (4K6)

Gunpowder is everywhere in Qufu City.

Standing on the terrace in front of the East bedroom, Luhou looked into the distance, and saw that all four gates of Qufu were on fire, and the flags of various families were fluttering in chaos on the streets of the city.

By identifying the flags of each family, Lu Hou barely understood the current situation.

Gongshan Buxuan, who was supposed to be loyal to Yanghu, defected for some reason, and led Feiyi's disciples to fight Yanghu in Dongshi.

The servants under the banner of the Zifu clan are fighting fiercely with the army of the Gongjia clan at the north gate.

Zijia's and Rong's probably saw the smoke rising from Qufu.

As soon as they discovered the changes in Qufu, the two families immediately began to gather the ministers who were working in the suburbs, and then joined forces and entered Qufu through the south gate.

Judging from the direction they were traveling, they should also be heading for the palace.

It's just that before the two families reached the palace, they were stopped by the army led by Uncle Sun Zhi at the foot of the thorn.

After all, Lichen's combat effectiveness could not be compared with that of the Shang army, so the two families retreated steadily after the battle was not long.

Just when Marquis Lu thought that the Zijia family and the Rong family were about to be kicked out of Qufu, who knew that another army team pulling the Ji family's banner rushed out from the south gate.

With their help, the Zijia clan and the Rong clan quickly stabilized their positions, and formed a stalemate with Shu Sun Zhi's subordinates.

Some people squeezed their heads and wanted to rush into Qufu, while others wanted to escape from this place of right and wrong as if they were dying.

Ever since Luhou discovered the banner of the Dongye Clan, these guys have been in a state of 'strategic transition'.

They fought and retreated, rushing out of the country all the way towards Ximen, but in front of Ximen, they bumped into Shusun Zhe who was leading the rebel party to attack Shusun's family.

Uncle Sun Zhe didn't know what Dongye's plan was.

He led the army to attack the Shusun clan, and his nerves were already very tense, but at this moment, the Dongye clan suddenly appeared behind his buttocks like a magic soldier, and the uncle Sun Zhe thought they were ordered by Sanhuan, and came here specially To poke his 'butt eye'.

Under the fright and anger, it is inevitable that the uncle and grandson will have some stress reactions.

He directly ordered the Shangjun Brigade, who was in charge of breaking the rear, to deal a head-on blow to the Higashino family.

Higashino was entangled by the infantry, and couldn't run away no matter how much he wanted to run at this time, so he simply gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and started training directly with his uncle and grandson at Ximen.

Lu Hou originally thought that the Dongye clan would definitely collapse in the face of the third brigade of the upper army under the command of his uncle Sun Zhe.

However, the Higashino family has proved with their actual actions that when people are extremely angry and want to moisten but can't get out, they can explode into a powerful fighting force.

I don't know if it's because Shusun Zhe's command level is too stingy, or the Dongye clan's combat effectiveness is really good, they actually played a tie in Ximen.

However, Higashino's high-profile performance did not last long, because the reinforcements from his uncle and grandson arrived.

In the name of cooperating with the subordinate army, Yang Hu had previously dispatched a group of armored soldiers from Zhongdu. They had been placed in Pupu, preparing to attack Ji Sunsi and others.

But now that there are sudden changes in Qufu, Yang Hu knows that it is not realistic to kill Ji Sunsi and Mengsun Heji.

Therefore, he planned to divide the troops into two groups. He himself went to the palace to rob Luhou, and this Zhongdu armored soldier was sent to assist Shusun Zhe, in order to capture Shusun Zhouchou alive as soon as possible, and use him to order the army.

The Higashino clan's subordinates were improvised, and their weapons and equipment and personnel quality were far inferior to the Yanghu rebels who were ready to fight.

Being able to resist the moment and three quarters is already a super-level performance. At this time, it is reasonable to be caught between two sides, and the morale will collapse.

And not long after the Higashino Clan collapsed, the Uncle Sun Clan's defense finally failed.

I saw the soldiers of the upper sergeant stepping on the wooden ladder, climbing over the wall, rushing into the uncle's inner house, and repelling waves of counterattacks by the uncle's servants.

The gate previously blocked with sundries was opened from the inside, and the Third Brigade of the Shang Army rushed into the mansion under the command of Shusun Zhe, and it was basically only a matter of time before Shusun Zhouchou was captured alive.

The city of Qufu is boiling, and the outside of the city is not idle.

The chariot troops dispatched by Yang Hu from the nearby cities arrived as scheduled, and the Confucian disciples also took out all the wealth they had put together with their lives.

Mi Buqi and Kong Zhong drove a chariot from Luqiu for hundreds of miles to help. Qi Diao couldn't move his legs and feet, so he sat on the chariot and beat drums to help.

As for Wumashi, he arrived earlier than the others.

He arrived at the south gate of Qufu first, and ordered his soldiers to abandon their chariots, and together with Nangong Shi, they arranged obstacles such as refusal horses to block the road, so as to prevent Yanghu's followers from driving into the city.

The whole of Qufu made a mess of porridge. Seeing this situation, Lu Hou didn't know how many forces existed in the city, let alone who had the upper hand.

In addition, when Zai Yu just appeared in the palace, he was able to win the support of two groups of people, which made Lu Hou smile bitterly in his heart.

Can anyone tell me where he is from?
Said that he helped Yang Hu, his behavior was obviously not.

But to say that he helped Sanhuan, the homes of Shusun Zhouchou and Mengsun Heji were all set on fire by Yang Hu, and I didn't see him go to help!

And it's not just Zaiyu, the Meng family and the uncle Sun family are also fighting on their own.

The Shusun family was in trouble, and after the Meng family repelled Yanghu at the upper east gate, not only did they not choose to rescue the Shusun family first, but they also ignored the Rong and Zijia clans who were fighting fiercely at the south gate.

Instead, he chose to send Lian Chufu, the prime minister of Yiyi, to lead the disciples of Yiyi to join the battle at the North Gate, and extended a helping hand to Zi Fushi at the critical moment.

Although all this can be explained by coincidence, Lu Houke never believes in any coincidence.

If you don't save Uncle Sun, you can still use the west gate to be too far away from the upper east gate, and the Meng family has more than enough heart but not enough power as an excuse.

If you don't save the Rong family and the Zishu family, there is something to say here.

Rong Jia'e, the patriarch of the Rong family, and Zi Jiaji, the former patriarch of the Zijia family, are currently one of the few doctors in Lu who support the government.

A few years ago, Duke Lu Zhaogong died of illness in the state of Jin, and his coffin was transported back to the state of Lu for burial.

Because Ji Sun Yiru held a grudge against Lu Zhaogong's previous move to exterminate the Ji family, he planned to dig a ditch at the place where Zhaogong was buried to separate his tomb from the tombs of Lu's previous kings.

It was Rong Jiage who dissuaded him at that time.

Rong Jiage said: "When the king is alive, you can't serve. When the king is dead, you separate his tomb from the ancestral tomb. Are you trying to dig a ditch to show your fault to the people? Even if you are cruel If you do this, future generations will definitely be ashamed of it when they see it.”

Ji Sun Yiru is also a decent person, he thought about what Rong Jiage said, and felt that it made sense.

I didn't dig a ditch, so nothing happened.

Once this ditch is dug, later generations will definitely feel strange when they see it. Why is there a ditch in the ancestral tomb of Lu State?
If they asked, wouldn't all the things Ji Sun Yiru did in the past be revealed?

But forget it, Ji Sun Yiru was not reconciled.

So he asked Rong Jiage again in a roundabout way.

"The ditches don't need to be dug. But I want to give the monarch a posthumous title, so that the children and grandchildren will know."

Rong Jiage originally wanted to warn Jisun Yiru: Man is doing what the sky is watching. If you do things like this, be careful that you will die in the future, and you will have to be stabbed in the back by future generations.

Who knew that Ji Sun Yiru was actually quite smart, and he did the opposite, wanting to give Lu Zhaogong a bad posthumous title and disgust him for thousands of years.

So when Rong Jiage heard this, he stopped being polite to Ji Sun Yiru and scolded him directly.

"You can't serve while you're alive, and you can give the monarch a bad posthumous posthumous title when you're dead. Do you want to use this posthumous title to confess yourself? If you really intend to confess, do you still need this?"

Ji Sun Yiru was really overwhelmed by Rong Jiage, and he couldn't bear it.

He was also worried that if he did this, it might attract criticism from the people of the country, so he had to pinch his nose and give him the posthumous title of 'Zhao'.

But although "Zhao" is generally a good posthumous title, Ji Sun Yiru actually played a bad role here.

Because in the posthumous posthumous law, there are several interpretations of 'Zhao'.

One of them is called—Gao Langling's end of the day.

Gao Lang Ling Zhong, these four characters come from "Daya Ji Zhong", which means that Gao Fengliang will make you have a good death.

Zhao Gong was attacked by his courtiers, making him unable to exercise his power as a monarch for nine years, which was teased by Ji Sun Yiru as a high-spirited man.

And he was in exile, and finally died in a foreign country. No matter how you think about it, it cannot be said to be a good death.

It can only be said that Ji Sun Yiru's action is like Zai Yu and Zi Gong arguing about etiquette-on the surface, they are sincere, but behind their backs, they are full of his mother's yin and yang.

As for Zijiaji, he accompanied Lu Zhaogong in exile for nine full years just like Ning Wuzi followed Wei Chenggong back then.

After Lu Zhaogong died of illness, Ji Sun Yiru sent his uncle to dare not to meet Zhaogong's coffin.

Before leaving, Jisun Yiru said to his uncle and grandson: "Zijiazi has talked with me many times, and every time he can meet my wishes. I want him to return to the country to participate in political affairs. You must keep him and listen to his advice." Opinion."

But when the uncle and grandson dared not come, he asked to meet with Zijiaji several times, but was rejected.

In desperation, the uncle and grandson did not dare to send someone to say: "If the sons of the first king, Gong Yan and Gong Wei, are the kings, the ministers will not be able to serve. If the younger brother Song of the first king is to preside over the country, That is the wish of the ministers.

All those who follow the monarch to go abroad, who among them can return to the country will be determined by your order.

The Zijia family has no heirs, and Jisun is willing to let you participate in political affairs. This is Jisun's wish, and Pai dare not come to tell you. "

Zijiaji replied: "If there is a monarch, then there are officials, officials and guards there, and Ji dare not participate.

If it is a person who follows the monarch, then if he goes abroad to fulfill the loyalty of his subjects, he can go back.

If you go abroad because of feud with the Ji family, you can leave.

As for me, the king knew that I would go abroad with him, but he never told him that I would go back, so I was going to flee. "

Zijiaji was an important minister of Duke Zhao. However, after he fled abroad, the Ji family deprived him of his fiefdom in China on the grounds that Zijiaji had no heirs in the state of Lu, and his offshoots could not inherit the main line of the Zijia clan.

The Meng family and the uncle Sun family also kept silent about this, and the power of the Zijia family was hit hard by this.

Although Lu Dinggong has been intending to support such a loyal family as Zijia's in recent years, the power in his hands is still too small, so the decline of Zijia's is almost inevitable.

And because of the dual grievances of Zijiaji's exile and the deprivation of Zijia's fiefdom, Zijia's has always stood firmly on Luhou's side in the struggle between the public office and Sanhuan. side.

Now Meng doesn't save Uncle Sun, Zijia and Rong, what kind of calculations are they planning, Lu Hou naturally has the same heart as Ming Jing.

Thinking of this, Lu Hou couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"It seems that from now on, the state affairs of the State of Lu will probably fall into the hands of the Meng family, right?"

He turned around and looked at Zaiyu, and found that he was also watching the Meng family's army in the east of the city.

At this moment, he could finally confirm Jae Yu's identity.

He opened his mouth and asked: "Zaizi, the next step is to retreat to the upper east gate for defense?"

Unexpectedly, when Zaiyu heard the words, he just said: "I have three strategies, the upper, the middle, and the lower, but I don't know which one you plan to adopt, Your Majesty."

Lu Hou was taken aback when he heard this.

He never thought that Jae Yu would actually ask his opinion.

Lu Hou asked: "Zai Zi, please speak quickly."

Zai Yu said: "The situation in Qufu is unclear at the moment, and wars are raging everywhere in the city. If you are worried that the overall situation will not be stable in a short time, you can adopt a strategy. I will lead Tuqiu soldiers to clear the way and escort you to the Meng family's residence outside the upper east gate to take refuge. "

"This……"

Lu Hou was slightly taken aback.

Zaiyu is not from the Meng family?

Could it be that the Lu State really produced another doctor who is loyal to the country?
He hurriedly asked: "What about the strategy?"

Zaiyu said: "If you adopt the strategy, you should break out along the street to the north of the city. In the north of the city, there is an army of certain officials and Yiyi disciples stationed, and they are far away from the government offices and markets, so the power of the rebellious party is not strong. Although there will be some encounters on the way. Fight, but I still have the confidence to protect you."

"What about Shanglue?"

"If you take the strategy of the top, the subordinates will be the rulers, and the king will hold the bow and arrow, pass under the thorns, join the Rong family, the Zijia family and the loyal soldiers of the two armies, and then rush all the way to the south gate."

Zaiyu only spoke half a sentence of these words, but Lu Hou listened to them clearly.

From the point of view of danger, the lower strategy is the safest, the middle strategy is next, and the upper strategy is about killing your life.

But in terms of income, although Xialue can temporarily save his life, judging from Meng's current performance, if it falls into their hands, something will happen if it doesn't work out.

The life of Marquis Lu is held in the hands of Meng Shi, so what does Meng Shi say?
If Marquis Lu refused to agree, Mrs. Meng would directly slap him with a knife, and then put all the crimes on Yang Hu's head. No one could say that they were half wrong.

In this way, the Ji family fell, and the Meng family came.

For Lu Hou, this is the question of which one is more stinky, and it is really not a good choice.

And if you adopt the strategy of the middle and break out from the north gate, you can control your fate in your own hands, and you don't have to worry about the Meng family's black hand.

After all, in addition to the Yiyi apprentices of the Meng family, there are also subordinates of the Zifu family at the north gate.

Although Fu He, a certain senior official, cannot be regarded as a senior official who is dedicated to the public, he is generally a normal person who conforms to the general moral standards of the Lu State.

If the Meng family dared to play with flowers, Zifuhe would never agree.

As for going through the south gate, for Lu Hou, it was the most profitable choice.

Although the direction of the south gate is dangerous, it has gathered the few forces in Lu who are loyal to the government.

If Marquis Lu just ignored them and watched Rong and Zijia's clansmen wipe out, then his words in the country would have even less weight in the future.

From another point of view, if Marquis Lu can break through from the south gate, then the Rong family and the Zijia family will be a great achievement.

In this way, there is enough reason to add officials to them, and there is no need to worry about Sanhuan jumping out to obstruct them again.

After all, the reason why Qufu is so chaotic now, among the three Huan, Ji Sunsi has to bear the blame.

But Shusun Zhouchou, as the great Sima of the Lu State, knew nothing about Yang Hu's mobilization of troops, and was even captured alive by the rebels.

As long as he wanted to show his face, he didn't dare to point fingers at the family that offered rewards to help counter the rebellion.

As far as the Meng family is concerned, this time the Ji family and the uncle Sun family must bleed and cut their flesh, and the Meng family is the one who eats meat the most, so there is no reason to object to rewarding heroes who have suppressed the rebellion.

In just one breath, tens of thousands of games were born in Luhou's heart.

But for Jae Yu, it doesn't matter to him what is in the middle and the bottom, he just wants to highlight the top.

The reason is also very simple, because the disciples of Confucianism also concentrated on deploying defenses at the south gate, and just now when he accompanied Lu Hou to look out and observe, he already found that Zilu and the others were about to be unable to hold on.

Seeing that Lu Hou was still unable to make a decision, he just felt that he was going to be unable to continue acting.

Ji Song!How dare you fucking not use it? !
Just when Zaiyu was about to order Luhou to be 'packed and taken away' to the south gate, he suddenly heard a burst of shouts from the palace road.

"My son, it's not good!"

Zaiyu turned his head and found that it was Zigong who came.

He hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"

Standing at the bottom of the steps, Zigong felt that he had never been so flustered in his life.

Pointing to the outside of the palace gate, he said urgently: "Master! Master and Bo Yu are surrounded by rebels outside the palace gate!"
