I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Yang Hu was released again, and after rectifying the remnant soldiers again, he withdrew another [-] miles to set up camp, waiting for Ji Sun Yiru's reinforcements.

After Ji Sun Yiru heard the news of Yang Hu's defeat, he knew that Lu Houchou's power was gradually rising, and that something might happen to him at any time.

In order to avoid having too many nights and dreams, he sent Gongshan Buxuan to support Yanghu with 1 troops from Feiyi.

And Yang Hu, after two rounds in a row, was ashamed and thinking about what to do next.

Gongshan Buxuan and Yanghu reunited, one was the steward of the Ji clan, and the other was the magistrate of the main city Feiyi.Both of them are Ji family's vassals, so they are very familiar with each other.

And Gongshan Buxuan felt a little bit surprised when he learned that Yang Hu was captured twice.

He knew that Yang Hu was capable of writing and martial arts, and that he was the most capable among all the Ji family's retainers.

But now, he has suffered two big defeats in a row.It can be seen that the strength of this Yunyi is indeed not bad.

Gong Shan thought about it for a while, then said:

"Hehe, it's just a temporary loss, so it's nothing to worry about! Now that my teacher from Feiyi arrives, I will be safe! But I don't know, what's the situation in Yunyi now?"

Hearing that Gongshan Buxuan boasted so much, yet he didn't know the enemy or himself, he couldn't help laughing secretly.

However, although he was somewhat disdainful, he still explained the situation in Yunyi City to him in detail.After Gong Shan listened, he couldn't help but gasp:
"Oh? No wonder this place has become so difficult now! I think that Tian Sima of Qi State and Sun Changqing next to Li Ran are all people who are accustomed to fighting! Even if Han doesn't believe it, it is said that he is also After Zu Hanjue, another heir of the Han clan!"

(Han Jue used to be a retainer of Zhao Shuai and Zhao Dun. He was appointed Sima of the Three Armies by the Zhao family in his early years, and then he was appointed as the Six Ministers. He finally became the ruler of Jin during the period of Duke Gong.)
As for Li Ran, Gongshan Buxuan had already heard about his lord Jisun Yiru's mention, so he was quite afraid of his talent.

Hearing this, Yang Hu couldn't help but let out another long sigh, and replied rather dejectedly:
"Hey... Yang Hu is ashamed of his lord's entrustment. It's really embarrassing and embarrassing."

Gong Shan didn't say anything but waved his hands and said with a smile:

"Hey! Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. If we fight again in the future, we will surely win! Brother Yang, is this going to admit defeat here?"

Yang Hu raised his head, his eyes revealed a hint of hostility:
"Admit defeat? Absolutely impossible!"

"Since that's the case, then you and I will join hands together, and one day we will capture Yunyi! At that time, we can fulfill the lord's order, and we can also avenge Brother Yang's shame! Wouldn't it be great?!"

When Yang Hu heard the words "attack into Yunyi", his brows could not help but raised, he hesitated to speak.

When Ye Yanghu and Gongshan Buxuan were drinking in the camp, Yanghu was always depressed, Gongshan Buxuan thought he was depressed because of these two failures, and didn't think much about it.

Actually, Yang Hu was thinking about what Li Ran and Kong Qiu said to him.In particular, Kong Qiu's game theory made him feel a lot for a while.

"Brother Zixie thinks...if we really enter Yunyi, what will the monarch do then?"

Gong Shan Buxuan was obviously taken aback when he heard this, and stopped moving.

Afterwards, Yang Hu continued to mutter to himself:

"A king, after all, is the face of a country. Even if he is an immoral king, if he kills him, he will inevitably be criticized by others. Back then, even though Duke Zhuang of Qi was innocent and promiscuous in his family, Cui Zhu killed him in a fit of anger, but After all, it will be infamous for thousands of years. My lord has conflicts with the emperor now, but how can we retainers let the lord bear such infamy?"

Yang Hu said these words to himself, but Gong Shan Buxuan smiled wryly:
"Brother Yang, you don't understand what you said. It's just that you and I are following orders, and I'm afraid many things are beyond our control."

"The grievances and grievances between your majesty and the lord needn't have come to such an extent. It's just that you and I are powerless. We can neither share the worries of the Patriarch nor solve the country's difficulties!"

Yang Hu drank a cup of wine in one gulp.

"Hey, so... this fact is difficult!"

Gong Shan Buxuan was silent for a moment while listening, and then he spoke to him not without consolation:
"Brother Yang, the retainers dare not talk about state affairs, you, you are thinking too much."

Yang Hu narrowed his eyes:
"Oh? Didn't Zixie think about it?"

Gongshan Buxuan sighed and said:
"Hey, why do you want to do this? In today's world, rituals and music are in ruins, and everyone in the world just wants to protect themselves. People have no long-term concerns, and they must have near-term worries. Now that everyone has near-term worries, why bother to talk about other things? "

When Yang Hu heard this, he couldn't help laughing at himself, and then changed the subject:
"Brother Zixie, what is your opinion on this battle?"

Gong Shan Buxuan thought about it for a while, then said:

"It was indeed a bit of nonsense before. Buxuan is also a newcomer, so the situation is not clear at all, or is it not too late to wait and see for a while?"

Yang Hu couldn't help but nodded, and he didn't shy away from his two defeats:

"Yang's two previous defeats were all too careless. The first time was when they just met. Yang thought that they had a weak foothold and needed to work together for a while. Unexpectedly, they would choose to attack suddenly , Yang Hu just missed it for a while. And the second time, after Yang was released, he wanted to collect the remnants and fight again, but he was attacked at night again and was caught off guard."

"Besides, the enemy generals are difficult to deal with this time. Han Buxin is young and vigorous, and Sun Wu is scheming. That's all, even Na Tian Rangju is old and strong! Therefore, the two of us will definitely fight against each other this time. Do not underestimate the enemy!"

Gong Shan didn't hear the words, but nodded his head:
"The road leading to Yunyi is only this way. Since this is the case, Brother Yang no longer needs to divide his troops to garrison elsewhere. I will lead an army to station in the front, and Brother Yang will lead the army to the rear! Only when the food and water in the city run out Ku, the monarch will leave Yunyi, and we will take advantage of the opportunity to win Yunyi, which will be a great achievement!"

Gong Shan's idea of ​​Buxuan coincided with Yang Hu's previous tactics.

"Brother Zixie is a great opinion, Yangmou actually thought this way at first, if that's the case, then act according to this plan!"

And after Yang Hu separated from Gongshan Buxuan, he was standing outside the tent alone to sober himself up. He looked up at the moon and couldn't help asking:
"Destiny... is it really reversible?"

He remembered that he was originally a branch of the Meng family, and that Mengsun Heji had no merit, if not for the background of this direct line, how could he stand on the temple?
And he himself worked hard all day long, doing all the dirty work for Ji's family.

Although it can be regarded as a status of being under one person and above ten thousand people, in the final analysis, he is still a servant, and he is not even allowed to enter the court.

And when he was in front of mediocre people like Mengsun Heji and Shusun Daren, he would always bow down.

Is this fair?

Yang Hu thought wildly for a while, and kept thinking about what Li Ran and Confucius said.

……

As for Li Ran, after learning that Yang Hu's reinforcements had arrived, he had no chance for a while.It had to be recharged for the time being, and the crisis in Yunyi was also postponed.

However, Lu Houchou's body became weaker and weaker, and even Yihe couldn't do anything.

The main cause of his illness was a knot in his heart, and with the fact that he had been worrying and fearing all these years, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was terminally ill.

And Lu Houchou's two sons, Gongyan and Gongwei, are always by his father's side.

Although Lu Houchou was still able to walk, his steps faltered, just like an old man of seventy-seven years old.And every now and then, he would vomit blood.

Li Ran was very worried about this, but Ji Le's complexion had recovered a little after taking the Danmai Pill prepared by Yihe, and the recovery of his body bones was almost visible to the naked eye.

However, as Lu Houchou's condition became more and more serious, Ji Le was overthinking, and his condition showed signs of aggravation.

Therefore, Li Ran would accompany Ji Le whenever he had time to spare.

In addition to worrying about Lu Houchou, Ji Le was also sad because of the incident with Owl Wing.Apart from being sad, she felt even more afraid, she knew that if it hadn't been for Xiaoyi to rescue him with all his might, her husband would probably have died at this moment.

Every time Ji Le thinks about all kinds of difficulties, she can't help but burst into tears.Li Ran hugged her tightly, and could only whisper to comfort her.

Ji Le leaned her head against Li Ran's chest, and Li Ran gently touched her tears and stroked her crescent eyebrows.

"Le'er wait for me for a while longer, and after finishing the matter of Ah Chou, I won't go anywhere as a husband. Let's take Guang'er and stay away from the disputes in this world! Okay?"

Ji Le closed her eyes, feeling the peace of this moment.And it was very strenuous. After coughing, he replied:
"Okay! Everything... cough... I will listen to my husband..."

Li Ran felt that he owed Ji Le too much.Since they got married, it can be said that they get together less and leave more.

Therefore, no matter what, he had to use the rest of his life to make up for this debt.

He kissed Ji Le's forehead and refused to let go for a long time.

Chapter 529_ Yang Hu's Worries

In the following period of time, both parties lived in peace.

And after confronting Yanghu's army for a period of time, everyone felt that it was impossible to continue like this.

The main reason is that people like Tian Rangju and Han Buxin, as foreign ministers, should not have stayed here for a long time without the life of a king.

Moreover, the most worrying thing is that Lu Houchou's body is getting weaker and weaker.If the danger of Yunyi is not solved for a long time, there is no way to send him back to the state of Lu.

Therefore, everyone discussed how to solve today's situation.

When discussing matters in the lobby, Sun Wu first said:

"Yang Hu now has Fei Yi's assistance, food and grass are in place, and the army has greatly increased. But I, Yun Yi, have no foreign aid. If we continue to consume him like this, Yun Yi will probably run out of food sooner or later."

"Therefore, we must not sit still and wait for death. We need to think of other ways! And now Feiyi's army is the main force of the Ji family. If we can defeat it, we will have the opportunity to intimidate the Ji family, and then send the Marquis of Lu back to the country. !"

Confucius said from the sidelines:
"What Changqing said is true, if you want Marquis Lu to return to the country, you must win this battle, otherwise everything will be empty talk!"

On the other hand, Gongsun Qing couldn't help but sighed and said:

"It's just...now that the enemy army is powerful and far superior to ours, it's not easy to defeat it in one fell swoop..."

Tian Rangju twirled his long beard and looked at Li Ran again:

"I don't know Mr. Ziming, do you have a good plan?"

Hearing Tian Rangju's question, Li Ran seemed to have no good idea, so he shook his head and said:
"Yunyi is an isolated city, so we can't sit still, but they are well-armed this time. If they attack rashly, they may not be the enemy. Therefore, we must win by surprise and win quickly! If we are blocked, it will be very convenient for me to enter a stalemate again. unfavorable!"

At this time, Li Ran got up again and came to the sand table. After a while of meditation, he said slowly:
"Yanghu and Gongshan Buxuan are now joining forces and stationed on the main roads, but they have not set up defenses on the small roads in the field. Since he still intends to let the people in the city withdraw. Then, maybe they can leave Yuncheng in batches. Yanghu lays down an army behind, waiting for the opportunity to move!"

"Also, since Yang Hu has no intention of attacking Yunyi, we might as well build momentum in Yunyi, saying that Marquis Lu has lost his composure and is about to conquest himself. When the appointed time comes, we will raise the banner of Marquis Lu and go to attack Yang Hu. And Yang Hu will fight with Chen Bing."

"I know that Yang Hu doesn't want to kill Marquis Lu, so he won't try his best. But when the army in the rear suddenly changes its banner and raises the king's banner again, this move will definitely put Yang Hu in a dilemma , I don’t know where Lu Hou is.”

"In order to ensure that Marquis Lu is safe, Yang Hu will definitely hesitate at this moment. When he is indecisive, we will use the power of the whole city to cover up and kill him! We must mess up his position! Since the enemy's position is in chaos, this battle must be possible. Total victory!"

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help getting up one after another, and came to Li Ran's side.After observing it for a while, Tian Rangju couldn't help admiring:

"Wonderful! Wonderful! This plan is very clever! In the past, Rangju didn't know that Ziming had such a means! Ziming's use of troops is so cunning!"

When Li Ran heard the words, he bowed and said humbly:

"Hehe, Doctor Sima praised me absurdly. I think you were not even born when you defended the state of Qi. How dare you receive such praise from your lord today? It's really shameful! Of course, it's just some rough talk, if there is something inappropriate , I hope that adults can criticize one or two."

And Gongsun Qing said at this time:
"It's just... isn't that lone army hanging behind the enemy's rear too dangerous?"

Sun Wu also nodded when he heard the words:
"Well, what Lord Gongsun said is not unreasonable. After all, if this army wants to hide behind the enemy, its number will not be too many. However, as the saying goes, "Soldiers will not be afraid if they are trapped. "Fight as a last resort", although this move is dangerous, it may be put to death and survived. What's more, Yang Hu will not dare to attack with all his strength if he does not know. Therefore, as long as our generals are united at that time, it may not be possible to Can't win!"

"If you have no objections, Wu Yuan will personally lead this unit to fight!"

Han Buxin said:
"Let's let the last general go. General Sun only needs to lead the reinforcements to arrive in time. In terms of strategizing, I, Han Buxin, can't. I may not lose to you either!"

So, that's it for the matter.

……

But Yang Hu and Gong Shan Buxuan couldn't help being overjoyed when they learned that there were really a small number of soldiers and some people fleeing in Yunyi City.

And turn a blind eye to this, close one eye, just let them go away on their own.

Yang Hu and Gong Shan Buxuan originally thought that everything was proceeding according to the strategy they formulated.

Unexpectedly, on this day, he suddenly got a report from the scout, saying that Marquis Lu was planning to lead his own army and was coming here to fight.

Although Yang Hu was suspicious, he was not surprised.After all, there had been news from Yunyi before that many soldiers and people had abandoned the city and fled, and morale was at a low point at the moment.

Therefore, it is normal for Lu Hou to choose the imperial conquest to boost morale, and he doesn't take the strangeness to heart.It's just that he discussed with Gongshan:

"Zi Xie, you are going to lead your troops to meet the enemy. It's just that... no matter you win or lose, remember not to pursue them. Those people are full of tricks, and once they are defeated, let them go wherever they want. Let's just hold on to this place for the time being." , so safe and secure!"

Gongshan Buxuan knew Yanghu's intentions, so he should lead the troops to fight.

Soon, good news came from the front line, saying that Gongshan Buxuan had defeated the enemy army, and the enemy army was fleeing in all directions.

Yang Hu got the reward and was complacent, knowing that this was Li Ran's trick to lure the enemy.But at the same time, I also know that Yunyi is now at the end of its strength.Before long, Marquis Lu will leave Yunyi on his own.

And after Lu Hou left, he could take Yunyi smoothly, and he would be able to explain to the Patriarch.Moreover, he will not be charged with killing the king.

At this moment, it was suddenly heard that there was another enemy army attacking from behind the barracks.And it is also holding high the banner of Lu Hou, and the momentum is huge and menacing.

Yang Hu didn't dare to be careless, so he had to lead his army to resist.I saw that Han Buxin led his army to charge, full of fighting spirit, and Yang Hu didn't know whether Luhou was in the formation or not.Therefore, although Han Buxin's onslaught was temporarily resisted, he did not send a large army to suppress it immediately.

Yang Hu was indeed as Li Ran expected, after the previous rounds of debate, Yang Hu was now a little hesitant.

But just when Yang Hu was hesitating, he had no idea that he had already fallen into Li Ran's trap.

Gongshan Buxuan led the troops outside, it was too late to return to help, and the commotion in the rear had not yet subsided, but seeing Sun Wu led another [-] people from the city to rush to kill them.

The roar of the chariot disturbed Yang Hu.

And Han Buxin's force was originally surrounded by Yang Hu, but at this moment Sun Wu suddenly killed him, immediately revived his morale, and fought a bloody way.

On Yang Hu's side, he was under attack from both sides.And the coach was hesitant, so he fell into a passive position in an instant.

Not long after, I saw that the five thousand soldiers led by Tian Rangju also came from the small road.

It was only then that Yang Hu realized that the so-called Marquis Lu's personal conquest was actually a cover to interfere with his division of troops to resist the enemy!
Now the two armies led by Yang Hu and Gong Shan Buxuan are separated by force.

And it is obvious that Yang Hu has become the besieged party instead!
Now he has no choice but to fight hard!
……

Li Ran stood on the city wall, looking ahead.Just because of the distance, but also can not see clearly.

At this time, another scout came to report, saying that the front was in a hard battle, and the outcome was hard to tell.

Li Ran was also feeling uneasy for a moment.

After all, this battle is a key battle concerning the fate of Lu Houchou and even the people he cherishes.

If this battle can be won completely, then Lu Houchou can return to the State of Lu in a legitimate manner.

As for himself, he can accompany Ji Le with peace of mind, and live in seclusion, no longer bothering about this chaotic world.

And fulfill the oath he made when he was a husband.
