I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 443 Chapter 526 Chapter 527
After Yang Hu was released, he was unambiguous and immediately gathered up the remnants.

In the last battle, because the opponent took advantage of the gap, they directly took over the camp.In terms of battle damage, in fact, only a few hundred people were lost.

Moreover, Yang Hu's leadership of the army before was regarded as a mountain of military orders, so this time he was defeated but not defeated.However, even so, it is almost impossible to attack the city rashly.

After careful consideration, Yang Hu decided to withdraw the besiegers and retreat ten li to set up camp.He decided to hold on for the time being, waiting for reinforcements.

Yang Hu also knew that although there were no fewer troops in Yunyi than he had at hand, there was no reinforcements.

Moreover, the food and grass in the city are limited, and after he rectifies a little, he can relax and wait for work.At that time, if it is trapped for another year and a half, Yunyi will be destroyed by itself.

However, after being captured last time, Yang Hu seemed to have more worries in his heart.

Just because he passed the words of Li Ran, Kong Qiu and others, there was a chill behind them.

Yes, no matter how you say it, the Ji family is a minister, and the Marquis of Lu is a king.Where in the world is there any reason to beat a king with a minister?
Taking ten thousand steps back, if Lu Hou really died in his own hands, would he be directly reduced to the abandoned son of his master Jisun Yiru in the future?
At that time, Ji Sun Yiru would directly accuse him of killing the king, so what should he do?
So, thinking of this, it was also the first time for Yang Hu to have doubts about his future and the Patriarch's orders.

He certainly didn't want to take the blame for this inexplicably, even though it was probably what his master's son Ji Sun Yiru meant.

Therefore, after thinking about it, he became more worried.He knew that Lu Houchou would never die by his own hands.

Therefore, for him, if he can force Yunyi to collapse without attack, and he can take Yunyi down logically, this will be the most perfect ending now.

However, how easy is it to achieve this goal?

Therefore, now that he has gathered his forces in one place, he is not worried that Lu Houchou will take the opportunity to escape, and even this has become his goal instead.

……

Soon, Yunyi also got a tip that Yang Hu was retreating.

After hearing this report, at the meeting in Daying, Tian Rangju first said:
"Very good! Before Yang Hu's reinforcements arrive and our foothold is not secure, we can take this opportunity to attack the enemy camp at night!"

"Yang Hu retreated and gathered his troops in one place, thinking that he was impenetrable. And he was captured just once, so he must know that our army is exhausted and will not defend. We can take advantage of this opportunity to attack him again. Caught off guard!"

When Sun Wu heard the words, he also nodded and said:

"Well, that's true. Now Yanghu has divided into two battalions, the inner battalion and the inner battalion. The inner battalion is strong while the outer battalion is weak. Maybe they can make another move to attack the west, and pretend to attack the outer battalion to lure their inner divisions to fight!"

Tian Rangju's eyes brightened, and he was deeply delighted to face this outstanding young man. He couldn't help clapping his hands and said with a smile:
"Wonderful, then we will attack the opponent's outer camp tonight, and then lead most of our troops to attack Yanghu's inner camp!"

Han Buxin is actually smart, he understood immediately, and then asked involuntarily:
"Since that's the case, is it set to be tonight?"

Tian Rangju wanted to fight tonight, but after all, not all of his generals are here, so it is inconvenient for him to make up his mind, so he didn't speak directly at the moment.

Sun Wu saw Tian Rangju's concerns at a glance, and said immediately:
"Those who are in the army like me are most afraid of not being able to work together. Lord Sima, in terms of seniority, military exploits, and age, the commander here must be an adult. I hope Lord Sima will not refuse! Please give the order!"

It is not an exaggeration to say that the soldiers in Yunyi are a mixed bag. There are the defenders of Qi, the people of Yunyi, the private soldiers of Tian Rangju, and the Han family garrison of Han Buxin.So, without a clear head coach, it's a real problem.

And Tian Rangju's qualifications are indeed the oldest, he hesitated for a while, and took another look at Li Ran.

And Li Ran also smiled frankly:

"Old General Tian is doing his part, so don't be too modest."

Tian Rangju also smiled slightly when he heard the words:
"Hehe, since this is the case, it is better to be respectful than obedient! As the saying goes, 'the heart is the heart, the heart is the heart, the heart is the heart. Horses, oxen, carts, soldiers, and power are also strength. Teaching is about Yu, and war is about integrity. General , the body, the pawn, the branch, the Wu, and the arm.' For a soldier, the key to victory is only if he manages it properly."

(The will of the general and the will of the soldiers must be unified. Horses, cattle and other animals, as well as soldiers, need to be fed and rested. Vehicles and weapons must be properly maintained, so that they can have combat strength. The emphasis is on training in peacetime, and on command in combat. A general is like A person's torso is like a person's limbs, and Wu is like a person's fingers. They must be coordinated in order to command and use them freely.)
Therefore, Tian Rangju immediately issued a military order to let the soldiers rest immediately, and canceled the afternoon rehearsal.Prepare to start cooking at the unitary hour, set off at the hour of Xu, and attack Yanghu at night!
In addition, Han Buxin was secretly ordered to be the main attacker at night.And Han Buxin didn't care about his status as a nobleman, he lived and ate with his own soldiers to boost morale.

Tian Rangju was afraid that Han Buxin would lead fewer people, so he allocated some of his own private soldiers, and temporarily placed them under Han Buxin's control.At the same time, the Yunyi garrison led by Sun Wusuo was sent to act as a feint attack on the periphery.

As night fell, Sun Wu led the soldiers out of the city first, and then Han Buxin and Tian Rangju also sneaked out one after another.

The crescent moon was like a hook, and in the darkness, they quietly walked towards the enemy camp.

Sun Wu's army itself was a feint attack, so there was not much concealment on the march.

The most important thing is that Han Buxin and Tian Rangju's army, when they approached, in order to avoid making a sound, each of them bit a branch, so as not to be frightened in the dark and make a sound.

Because the terrain is relatively flat, Yanghu's camp is surrounded by a "square camp". The so-called square camp, as the name suggests, is a camp that looks similar to a square shape. Spread out, from heavy to light.

Moreover, the more elite soldiers are distributed on the periphery of the inner camp. In this way, even if there is a night attack, the most elite troops of the main force will have enough time to prepare for the battle, because these elite soldiers can also withstand a burst of attacks .

Han Buxin led the army to ambush, while Tian Rangju went around to the back, preparing to set fire to Yanghu's food and supplies.

As soon as it arrived at Xu time, I heard that Sun Wu had launched a night attack with great fanfare.But seeing a burst of fire arrows shot out, Ji's outer camp suddenly burst into flames.

Yang Hu was rewarded, but he didn't take it seriously.He only ordered people to stabilize the situation, but he didn't send troops to rescue them. After all, Yang Hu also expected that this might be a plan by Sun Wu and others to divide the troops.

As for this Yang Hu, he was really quite knowledgeable, he could see the clues at a glance.

And at this time, it was rumored that the food, grass and supplies behind him were also on fire. Seeing this, Yang Hu still snorted coldly:
"Sure enough, it's a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain. How can I, Yang Hu, be fooled by such a small trick?"

Yang Hu was still sitting firmly in the tent, and he didn't appear to be flustered.And as the coach, as long as he doesn't panic, then the following will not be chaotic.

And Han Buxin saw that the enemy's inner camp didn't make any big moves, so he didn't make any moves for a long time.

At this time, Yang Hu got reports frequently, saying that the outer battalion seemed to be the main force of the enemy army, if they were delayed for a while, they might be overwhelmed!
-

Chapter 527_The Second Zongyang Tiger
After Tian Rangju led the troops around, he burned Yanghu's food and supplies, but pretended to retreat, as if their purpose was just to burn a handful of food and grass.

At this moment, Yang Hu couldn't figure out what the other party's purpose was. Could it be that the other party really wanted to cut him off?
Yang Hu couldn't help muttering in his heart, in fact, not only Yang Hu had lost his way, but most of his soldiers didn't know what was going on.But seeing that the general Yang Hu was also so hesitant, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

On the other side, the strength of Yanghu's outer battalion was not as good as that of the inner battalion, so under Sun Wu's all-out attack, the soldiers stationed in the outer battalion couldn't resist at all.

So, Sun Wu successfully captured one side of the outer camp, and immediately used the war drums in his camp to beat the five long and three short drums.

This is exactly the message of victory being conveyed outward.

When a good general uses his troops, there must be reality in the falsehood, and falsehood in the reality.

Although Sun Wu's attack on the foreign camp this time was a false move, they also knew that Yang Hu might not be easily fooled.So naturally, Sun Wu's false move was transformed into a real move.

Although the outer battalion is not very important in the whole battle situation, losing the outer battalion so easily is obviously a great blow to morale.

Hearing that there was a mistake in the outer camp, Yang Hu was also furious, and immediately mobilized troops, vowing to take back that outer camp.

And at this time, Han Buxin also heard the sound of the drum, and knew that the Outer Battalion had succeeded directly, so he immediately ordered someone to spit out the branch in his mouth, and suddenly shouted to kill, and rushed straight to kill.In fact, Tian Rangju didn't retreat far away. Hearing the sound of drums at this moment, he also turned his head around and directly killed him back.

Sun Wu occupied the outer camp without staying too long, and immediately reorganized his formation and ordered to attack Yanghu's main camp.

In this way, Yang Hu was attacked from three sides at once, food and grass were robbed, the outer camp was lost, all kinds of news of defeats were reported all of a sudden.

The morale of the soldiers also fell to the bottom all of a sudden, and it was no longer difficult to resist.Yang Hu put on Junfu and wanted to run around at night, but his stature was really tall, and the flames of war raged like daytime, so he was quickly spotted by Tian Rangju.

To say that back then, Tian Rangju defeated the Jin-Yan coalition forces almost by himself, and took back Acheng and Zhencheng, as well as the area on the south bank of the Yellow River.

Although Tian Rangju is nearly sixty years old now, he still has bright eyes.I saw him going straight to Xiangyang Hu, although Yang Hu was young and vigorous, but seeing Tian Rangju, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

Yang Hu only wanted to escape, but he was entangled by Tian Rangju. After fighting, Yang Hu found that although Tian Rangju was old, his arm strength was still extremely heavy.For a while, I couldn't even bargain for half a cent.

After such a delay, Han Buxin and Sun Wu also rushed to him after hearing the news. Yang Hu knew that the situation was over, his face was ashen, and with a single move of the sword, he was about to draw his sword to kill himself.

Yang Hu looked around, feeling disheartened, and said sadly:
"I, Yanghu, have already been captured by you once, and now I am captured again. I have no face to live in the world! Now I can only perish here to repay the kindness of the Patriarch!"

Sun Wu shook his head and said:

"Victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. Today, if you lost at the hands of Tian Sima, you have achieved what you deserve. Why should you seek short-sightedness?"

Hearing this, Yang Hu couldn't help laughing at himself.

And pretending to be ready to catch without a fight, Sun Wu is about to let go.Unexpectedly, Yang Hu would raise his sword to commit suicide again!
Seeing this, Sun Wu couldn't help but knock his great sword to the ground.

"See people without face! See people without face!"

Yang Hu took another look at Tian Rangju, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Thinking of him, Yang Hu is also the majesty of the Ji clan at any rate, and he can be regarded as both civil and military.Now he is being humiliated frequently, but how can he bear it?

When Yang Hu was escorted to Yunyi City again, Li Ran looked at Yang Hu and asked calmly:
"Yang Hu, are you still convinced today?"

"Hmph! What's there to be convinced about? You just took advantage of the fact that I, Yang, had just been released and didn't have time to reorganize my defenses, and suddenly caught me off guard again. If you have the ability, let me go again!"

"Hehe, good! If that's the case, then I'll let you go again! However, I've been tired all night thinking about you, so I must be hungry too? Why don't we just eat something before leaving?"

Li Ran readily agreed to Yang Hu's request, but this made everyone present look at each other in blank dismay.

However, thinking that Ji Clan's reinforcements were about to arrive, even if Yang Hu was killed at this moment, it would be of no avail, so he didn't say anything more.

In fact, at this moment Li Ran already had another consideration.

The reason why he wants to catch Yang Hu and let him go is because he knows too well the principle of "attacking the heart first".

And Yang Hu knew that he was now the shackles in the urn, so he simply "put it to death".

Since you want him to eat and leave, then eat!

Li Ran specially ordered people to prepare food and drinks for entertainment, but Yang Hu didn't have any worries, and just started eating and drinking.

And Li Ran was not idle at this time, while he was eating and drinking, Li Ran tried to brainwash him without losing the opportunity:
"Yang Hu, when you were captured last time, I asked you, what should the lord Ruoxian do? If he is unworthy, what should he do? You didn't answer that day, I don't know if you have the answer today?"

"The housekeeper doesn't dare to intervene in state affairs, Li Ziming, I know you are eloquent, so don't talk about me again!"

Yang Hu showed no scruples, just gnawing on the roast chicken.

At this time, Confucius also said:
"At that time, Nan Kuai came out of the Ji family. He once said: 'The retainers are the emperor's image, and there are people!' The meaning is that the retainers are not unable to talk about state affairs, but to watch their people. It's just a pity that Nan Kuai It's not his person, and it's not what he can do!"

Yang Hu glanced sideways at Kong Qiu, and replied with a very disdainful voice:
"Huh! Kong Zhongni, I think you have always regarded yourself as a master of Confucianism. It's okay to be ignorant of etiquette when you are young, but later you met Nan Kuai privately and bewitched him to rebel against the Ji family. Are such behaviors considered etiquette?"

When Confucius heard the words, he had nothing to say for a while.The main reason is that Yang Hu's words hit the nail on the head.

It is undeniable that as far as Kong Qiu is concerned, he was indeed extremely contradictory in his heart before.

On the one hand, he certainly hopes to use the power of his retainers to realize the ideal of "returning rituals".But on the other hand, the behavior of retainers rebelling against the master is indeed not in line with etiquette.

Seeing that Kong Qiu didn't speak, Yang Hu knew that he knew he was wrong, so he couldn't help but feel complacent.

"Li Ziming, you are wasting your efforts. Yang is not Nan Kuai, how can he be easily persuaded? Yang still advises you not to talk too much."

Li Ran was silent for a while:
"Since that's the case, what should we do if we go back this time and are defeated by us again?"

"Just as the saying goes, one can be two, but you can't do it again. If Yang is caught by you again, he will have no face to live in the world. The only thing he can do is die!"

Yang Hu's words were so swearing, but it actually caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Li Ran couldn't help but sneered:
"Hehe, this statement is wrong. Since Xiongtai is the head of the Ji family and has always been relied on by the Ji family, wouldn't it be a pity if he lost his life here for nothing?"

At this time, it was even more noticeable that Confucius on the side started to chant in a very serious manner:

"It's hard to eat all day long and have nothing to do! Isn't there a gamer? For that, it's a virtuous one!"

The meaning of this passage of Confucius’ speech is: It’s so difficult to have enough food all day long without thinking about it! Isn’t there still a game of chess?Doing this is better than being idle!

In fact, Kong Qiu is secretly pointing at Yang Hu: He can have his own ideas, but he is willing to become a pawn, obeying the orders of the Ji family, doing nothing all day long.He obviously has the talent to become a chess player, but why doesn't he join in the game?
There are too many people in this world who think they are chess players, but in fact they don't have that ability, instead they are reduced to chess pieces.And some people, obviously capable of making a difference, are willing to become a pawn, without the desire to make progress.

When Yang Hu heard what they said, his heart couldn't help but move.While thinking about it, he slowly put down the food in his hand, drank the glass of water and wine in one gulp, and wiped his mouth directly.

"gone!"

Yang Hu was still the same as last time, got up and left in a big way.

Seeing Yang Hu strode out, it happened that Han Buxin came in. Seeing this, he couldn't help striding in, and said indignantly to Li Ran:

"Let him go this time, and when his reinforcements arrive, it will be difficult to catch him again!"

Seeing Han Buxin, Li Ran couldn't help getting up, but he was confident, smiled and bowed to Han Buxin and said:

"Although I have never contributed in the battle, I have worked hard for all the soldiers. Today, Yang Hu was sent away for the second time, and all the hard work of the soldiers was wasted. Li Ran felt very ashamed. However, here is what I can say Everyone promises that when this person is caught again, it will be the last time!"

Hearing what Li Ran said, although Han Buxin also had complaints, it was inconvenient to say more.
