After entering the state of Lu, Zhao Wuxian inquired in many ways and noticed that Confucius had broken ties with Sanhuan on the one hand: Meng's sect master and cousin Meng Sunkuo was his disciple, and the son of the Meng's son, He was one of his disciples, and he preached for Confucius everywhere.

But on the other hand, Confucius was only able to become an official by Yang Hu, although he was forced to become an official, but this relationship cannot be washed away. What's more, Confucius and the No. 2 person in the Yanghu party, Fei Yi Zaigongshan also had some contacts.

"The master is old, and his legs and feet are a little uncomfortable in the autumn and winter, so I ask Dr. Zhao for forgiveness if he can't greet him in person."

"Where, it should be etiquette for the younger generation to visit the elderly."

After arriving at Zhongduyi Temple, Zai Yu, who came to greet him, smiled heartily, and asked from time to time whether there were any vacancies under Zhao Wuxian.

Zhao Wuxian saw that he treated people and things properly, and he was probably the one among the disciples of Confucius who did not buy Confucius's thoughts, and he was more utilitarian. If Zilu and Yan Hui are hard to find, this Zai Yu was sent to the door by himself, but the strange thing is that Confucius did not take the opportunity of the recommendation to sweep this disciple who was not very welcome out of the house.

As one of the "Ten Philosophers of Confucius" in later generations, Zai Yu's ability to ceremonial speech is second only to Zigong, and it is enough to be a pedestrian.

But Wuxian should pay attention to his eating appearance not too ugly, and not reveal his purpose too early, so this matter has to be cooked slowly, so that the early Confucian talents can be boiled into their favorite meat soup.

Ran Yong and Min Shen still have that old-fashioned attitude, but Zeng Shen, who played the seer, was nowhere to be seen, and they didn't know which bamboo forest they were drunk again.

Close to the Yi Temple, the gentle Yan Hui led the way in front, and talked with Wu Xian about the principle of "learning from things", Wu Xi said that Ji Zhi Qiao had arrived in Xiaqiu, if Yan Hui was free, he could go to follow the math apprentices to learn the numbers and arithmetic rules of the week.

Yan Hui Shi Ran saluted and said, "Thank you, doctor, but you have to report to the master before you can go." ”

When he arrived at the door, Zilu, who was guarding outside, carried his beloved long sword at his waist and stared at him. Saluting him respectfully, this heroic Confucian asked if Ran Qiu and Gong Xichi were okay in Xiaqiu, and were faintly dissatisfied after learning that Ran Qiu had served as the head of the pawn.

"Zi Youyong is not as good as me!"

"That's natural, but Ziyou has a lot of experience in training soldiers. He will one day be able to make meritorious contributions and become a well-known general. ”

After entering, Zhao Wuxian saw Confucius again, still dressed as a simple and elegant old Confucian, and he was tall and sitting in a living room full of dense bamboo slips of various colors, which seemed a little narrow and closed.

Don't wait for the unquestioned yet. But it was Confucius who put down the bamboo roll first and got up to salute him, and asked straight to the point: "I heard the disciples say that the doctor led the army into Lu City and passed through the central capital, and the camp tent was half a mile wide, with a total of nearly 1,000 people. ”

Zhao Wuxian was stunned for a moment, and now, as a doctor of Lu Guoshi, he is still talking about taking care of the monarch. I'm afraid there are only a few Confucius.

He said frankly: "I have never received Lu Hou's summons and tiger talismans. ”

"Then does this count as sending soldiers privately? Does it count as disobedience? ”

Confucius was very serious about this, and Zhao Wuxian smiled bitterly: "Confucius, after Lu Wen Gongshu, the East Gate killed Yan Lishu, and Lu Hou began to lose his state politics from this time, and there have been five generations so far, and the power has fallen into the hands of Sanhuan for four generations." The people don't know the king, how can they win the country? Although there is no tiger talisman of Luhou, there is a customs clearance talisman sent by the ruling Da Situ, Da Sima, and Da Sikong. Zhou Shu has a saying, and power is comfort. If you don't obey, the situation is serious, and you can only obey the power without compassion, if you abide by the old etiquette. Isn't it just sitting back and watching his vassals rebel and ruling the country's destiny? ”

Hearing that Zhao Wuxian went to Lucheng to target the "courtier" who was arrogant, Confucius's face was slightly gloomy, and he said: "There is no way in the world, so the conquest of Lile comes from the princes." Since the princes, Gai Shi Xi is not lost; Since the doctor, the fifth generation is not lost; The courtiers are in charge of the country, and the third world is not lost. Now Sanhuan's descendants are also declining. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yang Hu is about to make trouble, so in this way, the doctor's march this time is to defeat Yang Hu? ”

Wuxian thought to himself, "I'm just ...... for myself"

But what he exported was a righteous and indignant condemnation of Yang Hu's government.

"Of course, the thief who disrupts the government and harms the people will be punished by everyone!"

Confucius clapped his hands and said: "This is a kind word, I have seen the government of Yanghu in Yangguan with my own eyes, and the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger!" If the doctor can go to this evil tiger for the Lu country, it will also be a great merit. ”

"What Confucius is worried about is also worrying, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yang Hu will be in chaos, and the situation in Lu is like a bird gathering in Lu City? How will Confucius choose? ”

Confucius was slightly stunned, and then bowed: "Qiu has been depressed, until more than a year ago, he was established by the Yang Tiger, and was able to become the central capital, many people regard me as the party of the Yang Tiger, but in fact it is not." Let's listen to Qiu tell a past, although Yan Zi doesn't like Qiu, Qiu has always revered Yan Zi, when Chen and Bao rebelled against Luan and Gao Erhui Qingshi, Linzi City was in chaos. Yan Zi stood outside the Tiger Gate in court clothes, and the four families all called him to help, but he didn't go. ”

"The retainer of the Yan family asked: Are we helping the Chen family and the Bao family? Yan Zi said: What virtues do Chen and Bao have that are worthy of my help? The retainer asked again: Is that to help the Luan family and the Gao family? Yan Zi said again: Can Erhui beat Chen and Bao? The retainer said again: Do you want to go back then? Yan Zidao: The monarch is still trapped in the palace, as a courtier, how can he turn around and go back? In the end, it was not until the turmoil calmed down and the Marquis of Qi summoned him that Yan Zi entered. ”

Now the doctor asks Qiu where to go, but Qiu wants to learn what Yan Zi did, from the king, not from Sanhuan and Yang. I will defend the city and keep the people stable, and only when the turmoil is calmed down and the king is summoned, I will go to Lucheng to ask for guilt. ”

"I see, Confucius can indeed do it without violating his heart, but Wuxian has already entered the game too deeply, so he can only stir up this troubled water, farewell today, and ask Confucius to take care!"

Zhao Wuxian had already received an answer, but he was noncommittal about Confucius's behavior of watching fire from across the strait called "Zhongjun", but it was a wise move in line with his own status and strength.

Who thought that Confucius stopped him: "Doctor, although Qiu doesn't want to get involved in the fight between Doctor Qing and his courtiers, but the city and the street battle, the brave wins." Qiu couldn't do anything for the doctor, but he wanted one person to accompany the doctor and serve as a personal guard, maybe he could help. ”

"Who?"

"Nakayu."

Zhao Wuxian was slightly stunned, the last time he was stationed in Zhongdu, several of his military officials such as Mucha also resisted Zilujiao, but Muxia, who was already the leader in the army, lost in a mess. Confucius once said, "You are brave enough to be brave with me." "If it comes to the courage of ten thousand people. Zilu can be said to be one of the strongest people Wuxian has ever seen, only the Qi man Gu Yezi who was assassinated in Yangjiban can be defeated, if he helps, this adventure can be described as a tiger with wings.

But. Confucius proposed at this time, is it really all good intentions? Zilu's long sword, will he really listen to Zhao Wuxian's words, where to point and where?

But he still smiled and asked, "I can't ask for it, but is Zilu willing to go?" ”

"You have asked me many times. Is a gentleman still brave? The doctor had heard of it in Dazhanzi Road in Pubei and admired the doctor. Zilu hates Yang Hu, and with my life, he won't refuse. ”

So, Zilu was summoned in, but after hearing this, he was a little hesitant with joy between his eyebrows: "After leaving, what about the defense of Zhongdu?" ”

"You, you once asked me, if the master is in command of the three armies, who would he be willing to work with?"

Confucius laughed, "I said it at the time. I will not work with a person like you who likes to fight tigers with bare hands, wade across rivers on foot, and die without regrets, because it is too reckless. I am looking for someone who is cautious and good at planning and can complete the task. ”

Zilu was embarrassed, and the master was criticizing his reckless character, not suitable for leading an army alone, and went to Ran Qiu's junior brother in Xiaqiu. was said by Dr. Zhao to be a famous general in the future, which seems to be the latter temperament.

Confucius changed his words: "But today, Dr. Zhao went to Lucheng to commit danger, and he was exactly the kind of person who was afraid of things." A man of good fortune. And what is needed is exactly the brave man of the violent tiger Feng He like you. What's more, the division is not without achievements in the military array, don't forget, who taught you and Ran Qiu's military affairs. ”

Zilu was overjoyed when he heard this, and happily agreed.

So on the second day, when hundreds of soldiers left the camp, Zilu was arranged by Zhao Wuxian to accompany the right side of the car. and Mucha one left and one right sandwich Zhao Wuxian.

Although Wuxian secretly speculated that Confucius's intentions could not be so simple, he had already gone through his plans for the future countless times in his heart, and he thought that there were no flaws. Since Zilu took the initiative to send it to the door, he simply responded to all changes with the same and ate it in one bite, not seeking to recover this person at once, but it was okay to make full use of his talents.

On the wall of Zhongduyi, Confucius dragged his somewhat sore legs and brought Yan Hui, Zai Yu and others to observe the military might.

"What a good fighting army!" Confucius stroked his beard and praised, only to see those dancing flags facing east, like dragons and tigers, like bears.

Zai Yu also praised: "More than a hundred years have passed since Duke Lu Xu, and there has been no such army in Lu for a long time. ”

The Zilu of the thick bearded crane crown was no longer beside Confucius, Yan Hui looked at it on tiptoe, and also sighed with emotion: "In this way, Ran Qiu went to Liqiu, but it was right, he has always liked military things, and he has won the true inheritance of the master, and I only hope that Zhong You will accompany Dr. Zhao into Lu City and return safely." ”

He leaned over again and asked, "Dare to ask about the disaster between Yang Hu and Sanhuan this time, who does the master think will win or lose?" ”

"Before Dr. Zhao's participation, Yang Hu had a slight advantage, and the winner was 64."

"Then after Dr. Zhao was shortlisted, how did he win or lose?"

"I don't know."

"Why is it unknowable?"

Sun Tzu said: "Although Dr. Zhao's soldiers seem to be powerful, the battle of thorns and the battle of Zhen that he became famous for are all field battles, and the street battles in the streets and alleys of Lucheng are limited as a guest army. What's more, the number is too small, Sima Fa has clouds, and if he fights, he will be defeated if he does lightly, and in the face of the Yang Tiger disciples who are several times his size, and the rebel army who is extremely familiar with Lu Cheng will probably not be able to take any advantage......"

Yan Hui was taken aback: "Since the master is not optimistic about Doctor Zhao, then why do you want Zilu to accompany him?" ”

"Those who travel by land and do not avoid tigers are also brave hunters. Those who do not avoid dragons in the water are also brave fishermen. The blade is handed forward, and the death is regarded as the living, and the courage of the martyrs is also. Knowing the poor has a fate, knowing the time to understand, and those who are not guilty of great difficulties (jué) are also brave of the benevolent. Therefore, the benevolent must be brave! If you don't do what you do, you don't have the courage! ”

"I am the commander of the central capital personally appointed by the king, and my duty is where my duty lies, and I cannot send a single soldier without the king's order. But Zilu is a free white body, I intend to help Dr. Zhao overthrow the Yang Tiger, but because of my identity, I can only let Zilu guard his side, even if Dr. Zhao is defeated and retreats, Zilu can also save his life without worry. ”

Yan Hui bowed his head silently, but Confucius, without his disciples noticing, secretly sighed in his heart:

"Doctor Zhao has made a lot of contributions to the matter of Yanghu, although it is rumored that they are stiff because of something in Lucheng, but I always feel that this matter is a little strange. This time, if he really goes to the Fallen Yang Tiger, it will naturally be a good thing, Zhong You can be the guard, but if he forgets his righteousness and wants to help the tiger rebel......"

"Then with Zhong You's bravery, you can also be Cao Mo who hijacked Qi Huan Gong with a white blade!" (To be continued.) )
