Spring and Autumn I Am King

The corpses were lined up on the battlefield. Thousands of people from Luwei and Song surrendered after being outflanked and blocked by the two wings. ◇↓, x. And the cavalry who have made great achievements are still chasing and harassing the retreating Zheng people, hoping to bite a few more pieces of meat on them.

"That's what happened during the period..." After returning to the camp, Wu Jing also quietly reported what he had seen and heard to Zhao Wuxi.

Zhao Wuxi nodded, that fisherman was really not an ordinary person, and he was able to convince the thief whose eyes were higher than a person. He then asked: "What happened after this?"

"Then I encountered a partial teacher sent by the Zheng people, and the fisherman discovered them based on the fright of water birds..."

Wu Jing was afraid when he remembered the scene at that time. Robber Zhi, who had been chatting with the fisherman very happily before, suddenly changed his face and put his sword on the fisherman's neck, asking him to tell what the situation was.

After a night of observation, Wu Jing almost predicted that the fisherman was probably not the one who came to rebel. Which spy would dare to be so high-profile in the enemy camp? But halfway through this wilderness and encountering an enemy army, who can not doubt it?

But the fisherman didn't panic, but calmly said that this matter had nothing to do with him, and then instructed Robber Zhi and others to ambush at several key positions, and wiped out the four or five hundred Zheng army partial divisions!

"After the incident, I caught the enemy leader and asked, and it turned out that there was another guide, and it had nothing to do with the fisherman."

Wu Jing hesitated for a while and continued to report: "Because they were afraid that their escape would ruin Si Kou's affairs, they didn't leave a living room."

It turned out that Zheng Jun's coach Yousu also made the same plan as Zhao Wuxi, but the guide he was looking for was much worse. After dawdling for a long time, I couldn't find the right way, and I was planning to forcibly cross the swamp to land. As a result, they were surrounded by divisions led by Roi Zhi, who had taken the lead, and the entire army was annihilated. In the reeds at this time. Probably already dyed red by the pool of blood, this is the ruthless style of Robber Zhi.

"What did the fisherman say about that?"

"I just watched from the sidelines, I couldn't see joy, anger, sorrow or joy in my eyes, and I didn't say a word."

Wu Jing suddenly knelt down and bowed his head and said: "It's all because of the carelessness of the servants, when he was about to reach the predetermined ambush point, when he turned his head, the fisherman disappeared. . is rowing towards the lake..."

"So he just walked away like that?"

Zhao Wuxi was a little distressed. Judging from the fisherman's words and actions, even if he wasn't Ji Ran, he was a very capable hermit. He did not meet any sages when he visited, but afterwards the sages took the initiative to come to the door to help. It was a joyous thing, but why did he wave his sleeves and leave after helping? The boat is prepared in advance, which is quite a bit of "follow the clothes away when things go wrong, and don't leave your body and name behind".

"The servants can't catch up with the fisherman even after wading through the water. He can only call him and ask him to come back, saying that Si Kou must be greatly thanked, while Liu Xiazhi said it straight. If the fisherman is willing to serve, he will definitely get a high official and generous salary in Xilu. But the fisherman was unmoved and smiled. Then he went away, no more words. Just sang a song..."

"What song is it?"

"He drummed with wood pulp and sang: The water of the Canglang is so clear that it can wash my twigs..."

…

"The water in Canglang is clear. I can wash my tassels, and the water in Canglang is turbid, I can wash my feet."

After parting ways with Liu Xiazhi, Wu Jing and others, the fisherman continued to put on his scorpion and rowed in a small boat in the Mengzhu Lake. The people who followed were left behind.

This is the other side of Mengzhuze, where toads and crickets live, seabirds from the north of Sushen and Yan glide high in the sky, and local waterbirds build their nests on the sand dunes of the tidal flat.

The fisherman identified the direction, left the boat to land, dragged the fishing boat into the reeds and hid it. When he turned around, a fox who was looking for shrimp and crabs on the beach walked leisurely across the lake, and there was a rag in the back. The man in the shirt is chasing.

The fisherman showed a sneering smile and shouted loudly to the staggering man: "Chu madman, fox meat is saucy and stinky, even if you are too hungry, you might as well go after it with some bird eggs to eat! "

When the disheveled sloppy man heard the words, he stopped chasing immediately, but pointed at the fisherman angrily: "Okay, you Xin Wenzi, you have come, throw me in this wild swamp, and I will starve to death. !"

Zhao Wuxi's guess was good. The fisherman is indeed Ji Ran himself. He likes to travel in Haize and often calls himself "fisher father". that one. This person's name is Lu Tong, the word is Jieyu, and he is a member of the state of Chu. Because the state of Chu made Yin Zichang to be the political commander of impermanence, he feigned madness and did not serve. People at that time called him Chu mad.

He and Ji Ran went to the Chengzhou Shou Tibetan Room ten years ago to ask Lao Tzu for teaching and asking about the Tao of Heaven and Earth, so they got acquainted and became friends with each other.

Facing Jie Yu's complaint, Ji Ran raised the fish basket in his hand and said, "Didn't I go to repay Zhao Zitai's gift? No, I didn't forget to catch a few grass carp when I came back on the way, you're not here. If you complain, you might as well dig a hole quickly and find some driftwood and reed poles to set fire to the fish."

Hearing that there was something to eat, Jie Yu swallowed, and immediately lowered his head to help dig the pit, while digging, his mouth was not idle, he continued to complain: "At last there is meat, you know what I eat these days what?"

Ji Ran curled his lips: "It's not that the old pear tree and the vegetable garden at the back of the house have been harmed. It was originally well-kept, but now it must have been like a wild boar."

Chu Jieyu scolded: "How dare you say that, old man? You invited me to visit Song Kingdom, but I caught up with the chaotic wars of all the ministers, and there were wars everywhere. It's so easy to get to Pushang, don't talk about meat inside and outside your house, Not even a single grain of corn left me, it made my stomach sour and my face turned green!"

Ji Ran raised his hand and opened Jie Yu's hand that was still stained with mud and wanted to reach into the fish basket, and sneered: "It's really a hungry ghost, if you want to eat meat, then Zhao Xiaosikou invites you to Daiyi that day. Why don't you go? Even though it's impossible to let you eat Zhou Bazhen every morning and night, the meat and sauce are definitely indispensable."

Chu Jieyu looked at Ji Ran's skillful handling of grass carp, and said disdainfully, "I'm different from you. If you say you want to be reckless all your life, you will avoid all the affairs. And what about you, Xin Wenzi? The feudal lords, in fact, are utilitarian in their hearts, point fingers at the place of seclusion, and always pay attention to the disputes in the world. By the way, you still want to find a good disciple, inherit your plan, and then secretly create a hegemony. It's your plan to be in the dark, and people don't know it..."

The two old friends began to enter into the rhythm of exposing each other's shortcomings, but they did not answer. After cleaning up the fish, wiped the white salt they carried with them, tied them with reed leaves, wrapped them in mud, and set them to roast in the fire pit. Chu Jieyu, who was watching his reaction, was impatient.

It was only then that he raised his head and glared at Chu Jieyu and said, "My line is vast, like Honghu, my ambition is broad, like Kunpeng, how can you understand the head like a bird of old hungry ghost?"

…

The delicious Mengzhu grass carp, after being roasted, is tender on the outside and tender on the inside, with a hint of reed fragrance, which is also a delicacy in the world. Chu Jieyu, who claimed to be ignorant of the taste of meat for a month, almost got stuck with a fishbone, and Ji Ran kicked him on the back a few times before helping him cough it out.

"It's just a mouthful of fish, old hungry ghost, you eat so fast, don't you die?"

The two of them complained about each other for a while, until they were tired of scolding, Chu Jieyu asked with a rare seriousness: "Should the battle of Meng Zhu be over?"

Ji Ran raised his head to look at the sun, it was already noon, and the faint sound of killing had ceased, leaving only a dead silence.

"It's over."

"You don't go to see the outcome? After all, you also participated in it and gave Zhao Wuxi a great gift."

Ji Ran said firmly: "You don't need to look to know that the Zhao family will win, and the Zhengren, Weiren, and the second son will lose."

"How are you so sure?"

"Because I am Ji Ran, whether it is calculation or calculation, there has never been a mistake!"

For a while, Chu Jieyu was silent.

When he was full of food and drink, he caught the lice in the sun again: "By the way, why do you want to help that Zhao Wuxi?"

Ji Ran's eyes flashed with sadness: "When two tigers fight, one will be injured. Rather than fighting for three years like the Huaxiang Rebellion 20 years ago, which resulted in heavy casualties in the country of Song and the displacement of the people, it is better to let the The decisive battle is divided into winners and losers early.”

"That's why I asked, why did you choose Zhao Wuxi instead of Yousu, Gongzidi, and Le Daxin, don't tell me it's really to pay back those gifts he left in front of your house."

Ji Ran laughed and said: "Of course not, I appreciate his attitude of being a virtuous corporal, but more because of his words 'prosperity, suffering for the people, death for the people'. Plus his reputation for loving the people like a son , so I think that if this person wins, it will be beneficial to the people of Song and Li Shu."

"But it's not good for the surname Sheji. I heard that the prime minister, Bu Ziqing, once predicted that Le Qi would die in Jin, but his descendants would succeed in Song! Now is it really going to come true? If the Zhao clan wins, Sicheng will The Le clan will definitely take power, and the Song country will be reduced to the Zhao clan and the country!"

Ji Ran said coldly: "After my family is Jin Gongzi, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com is not a remnant of Yin Shang with the surname of Zi, and a Sheji with a surname of Song Gong, what does it have to do with me?"

ps: During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the word "people" mostly refers to ordinary people.

"The Analects of Confucius. Yan Yuan": If the people are enough, who is the ruler? The people are not enough, who is the ruler?

"Mencius. King Hui of Liang's Chapter Sentence II": I ask you to make music for the king: Today, the king's drums are playing here. Why did you bring me to this extreme? Father and son did not see each other, brother and wife separated. Now that the king is hunting here, the people hear the sound of the king’s chariots and horses, see the beauty of the feathers, raise their heads and frown, and say to each other, “My king loves hunting, why did you **** to this extreme?” Father and son did not see each other, brother and wife separated. There is no other, and there is no joy with the people.
