Gongshan proudly straightened his stomach, he glanced at the battlefield situation, and said with a smile: "It's a pity, Zhongni is afraid that he won't be proud of you." ”

Ran Qiu's face twitched, and the master said that "if you are not a disciple, the kid can beat the drum and attack it!" This is a faint wound in his heart, but for Gongshan Buwu, a senior who had a good relationship with Confucius, he still gave the most basic respect, courtesy, and deeply engraved in his life.

"Is Jun General Wu?" Ran Qiu glanced at Gongshan Bufu and the armor of his uncle and grandson, both of which were the standard of the generals of the Wu army.

Uncle Sun Yu hurriedly explained: "We are in the country of Wu, our heart is in Lubang, this time with the husband sent north is really a last resort, the two of us have dissuaded Wu Zi Valu, and then deliberately pointed out the wrong direction to the Wu army, let them take a long detour, in this way, you can have time to prepare for the war, in order to have this big victory!" ”

Ran Qiu looked at Gongshan Bufu with an inquiring gaze: "This is the reason why the second son broke away from the main force of the Wu State in this battle and roamed around the periphery?" ”

Gongshan is not arrogant, and he doesn't explain when he turns his head.

At this time, another general came over with a man covered in mud, but it was Wu General Wang Sun Gu Cao.

The king's grandson and aunt Cao were seriously injured, and when they saw Gongshan Buwu and their uncle and grandson from a distance, they struggled to come over and kill them, and they also scolded in Wu language, and after saying a while, they changed to stammering Yayan, scolding them for being a traitor and deliberately leading Wu Jun to the wrong way.

Seeing him like this, Ran Qiu already believed a little, and let Gongshan not be untied, and as for the final fate of him, it was up to Zhao Wuxian to decide.

After Gongshan and his uncle and grandson confirmed the identity of Wang's grandson and aunt Cao, Ran Qiu took a step back, brushed the dust on his body, and bowed to Wang's grandson and aunt Cao: "Boy Ran Qiu, on the order of the general of Lu Guo, put on armor and fight against your army, today is unfortunate, you and I meet in a narrow way, please allow me to use this jade to greet Yu Zi." ”

After speaking, he took the jade in his arms and tied it around the waist of Wang Sun Gu Cao.

Wang's grandson and aunt Cao Cao didn't understand the gift of the Central Plains, and was a little at a loss, but Gongshan on the side sarcastically said: "Zhongni has been in exile for ten years, but Ran Ziyou, who doesn't want to be expelled from the Confucian Sect by him, is still so polite. ”

Ran Qiu had long been accustomed to this kind of cynicism, and he smiled slightly: "Etiquette, so make a decision to be close to each other, decide suspicions, don't be the same, and know right from wrong." Etiquette is in my heart, and it is also the benchmark of my life, how can I be shaken by the Master's misunderstanding of me? Then I will abandon myself as a soldier and become a villain. ”

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes fought from time to time, and the two armies would be victorious or defeated when they fought, and the defeated side would naturally become prisoners. However, the captives are also divided into high and low, the so-called "punishment is not the doctor, the etiquette is not inferior to the people", that is, the punishment knife is not on the nobles, and the etiquette is not for the people. If the monarch is defeated and flees, the monarch's power is divinely granted, not for the subordinates can be opposed, even if it is the pursuing party of the enemy country, they will get out of the way and let the monarch escape, otherwise it will be a loss of "courtesy". If a nobleman is captured, the winner will first send a jade pendant to apologize for the disrespectful actions below, and the captured party will also give the most valuable jade pendant on his body in return, implying that his identity will have enough ransom and ask for courteous kindness. And if it is an ordinary soldier, naturally there is no jade pendant and no etiquette, and the thick rope is tied around the neck, either to the victor as a slave, or to the slave market for money.

From birth to death, the word "rite" permeates all aspects of the aristocracy, but it is a pity that with the collapse of etiquette, the aristocracy has also lost all the etiquette, and the most exquisite etiquette in the world has become Confucius. Confucius once taught them that even if they were not slaves in groups of gorgeous clothes, when they fell into the wilderness, they could still see a person's noble and lowly origin by raising their hands and feet.

In the past few decades, as the scale of the war has increased and the cruelty has increased, even if it is a prince of a country, he will be cut off and abandoned by the city, slaughtering the city, the remnants of the people, and killing prisoners in an endless stream, and the quaint military salute of the "Sima Law" era has disappeared.

But in the country of Lu, Ran Qiu always insisted on this. In Ran Qiu's view, it is one thing to use intrigue and trickery during battle, and it is another thing to keep both sides decent after the war, and it is not contradictory......

Although the generals of the Tiger Society, the Thief Foot, and the Yu and Tian of the Zhao State had laughed at him for being broad, Ran Qiu was indifferent, and abided by etiquette while abiding by military law, which was also a kind of insistence on him as a disciple of Confucius.

After Wang's grandson and aunt Cao were escorted down, Gongshan Bufu seemed to have something to say.

He said a little dazedly: "The old man has left the Lu country for more than ten years, and I don't know if this state has really changed for the better as Zhao Wuxian promised?" ”

When he left, he was in the prime of life, but when he returned, his temples were gray, and Gongshan's heart was only afraid of mixed feelings.

Ran Qiu smiled, pointed to the paddy field in front of him, and said, "Ten years ago, this was still a swampy wasteland, and only a few robbers and fishermen begged for food in it. After the Zhao family came to power, the internal strife and annexation of the princes stopped, which organized the immigrants from Qufu to settle here, and in recent years, canals were dug and ditches were dredged. Usually, when there is no war, it should be a place where rice flowers are fragrant and frogs are singing. ”

He looked at the fertile field that had become a terrifying battlefield with some regret: "It's a pity that the army is located, thorns will be born, and the good situation in the past ten years has been ruined by the Wu army, but! As long as Wu Kou is expelled, there will be another bumper harvest here next year! ”

Gongshan shook his head: "I hope so, but now that the meat eaters of the Lu Kingdom have become the Zhao family, I am afraid that the society surnamed Ji will not last for many years, which is even more excessive than when Yang Hu and I stole Lu Zheng, Zi has such strict etiquette, why do you ignore this kind of gift that Zhong Ni values the most?" Isn't it ridiculous to abandon a big gift and give a small gift? ”

Ran Qiu thought for a moment and answered his question: "Fu Chao will be sent to Qufu to live temporarily, you can take a good look at the new situation of Lu State along the way, and after a look around, you will know that whether it is you, or Yang Hu, Sanhuan, or even Lu Hou's pro-government, Bo Yu, Zhou Gong's reincarnation, it is impossible to do better than the Zhao family!" Since ancient times, there was no way in the summer, so it was replaced by a better Shang Tang, and there was no way for the business, and it was revolutionized by Zhou Wu. Now the fate of the Lu State may have fallen on the head of the Zhao family. I think that as long as the people can live and work in peace and contentment, it is the greatest gift, as for the surname of the monarch, why care! ”

Gongshan was silent, Ran Qiu waved his hand and asked people to take him down. In his opinion, Gongshan is lucky, although he was displaced for a time, but at least he came back, at least he can return to his hometown. But what about the Master? Also in exile for ten years, Zhao Lu invited him many times and gave him a step, but the master was as stubborn as a cow and refused to return.

The fox will die in the first hill, Master, you are already very old, when can you let go of the misunderstandings and obsessions in your heart and return to your homeland?

Ran Qiu was very melancholy, he could only hope that when the war in the Central Plains was over, the master would be able to formalize the new order in the world.

For now, he still has to turn his attention to the battlefield. This battle completely annihilated the Wu army, killed and wounded three or four thousand, and captured five or six thousand, while the Zhao army only suffered two thousand casualties, which can be described as a meritorious achievement, but for the whole war, it was only a small beginning......

Ran Qiu looked at the rushing south of Surabaya in the sunset, and said secretly in his heart: "I don't know if Zhao Ziwei's commander attacked Peiyi from Teng and Xue, and it was successful?" ”

……

In the evening of the next day, on the shore of Surabaya, an embarrassed team arrived at the foot of Peiyi City, and a "Wu countryman" with broken hair raised his head and begged Peiyi Wu soldiers to open the door quickly.

"What happened?" The army is all heading north, and there are less than a thousand people left in Peiyi, who were originally envious of the people who left to grab a good hand in the country of Lu, but now when they saw a defeated army returning, everyone was very shocked.

"Our army was defeated in an ambush, and there were Zhao soldiers in the rear to pursue, so open the door quickly."

The "people of Wu Guo" under the city were about to cry, and the people next to him also muttered and begged, and the people at the head of the city looked at each other, and saw that those people had broken hair, not the bun of the Central Plains, and immediately did not suspect him, slowly opened the city gate, let them in, and planned to ask for an understanding.

Unexpectedly, after these Wu troops opened the city gate, they suddenly burst out and drew their blades, how could there be the frustration of the defeated army? One by one, the dragon and the tiger rushed to both sides of the city gate, killing all the gatekeepers, and the rest of the people rushed along the city gate hole to kill, and then the light of the torch, Wu only found that except for the people in front of them were broken hair, the rest of the hats were the hair buns of the Central Plains!

"Oops!"

However, before they could block the enemy at the city gate, they heard the sound of horses' hooves rumbling in the night from far and near, and a cavalry of hundreds of men broke through the night and swept in, and the target was the city gate!

The people at the door hurriedly got out of the way, and Zhao Jia, the "thousand-mile horse" of Zhao State, took the lead, and the handsome rode into Peiyi.

Zhao Jia is black-clothed and black-armored, he leaps in the city, crisscrossing the streets and alleys, those who dare to stand in the way are all trampled under the iron hooves, after learning that the Wu army attacked Ludi, he was ordered by Ran to ask for 5,000 people to detour Teng and Xue, and raid Peiyi. In the Xue Kingdom, Zhao Jia forced the barbarians under his command to cut off their hair, and let the Lu people who knew Wu to deceive the city, and sure enough, they successfully broke through the city.

At this point, the Wu people had no way to stop them, and many foot soldiers outside the city also touched them, or crossed over the city wall, or poured in from the city gate, so that they could not be guarded. After wielding his sword again and killing several Wu soldiers, facing the locals who secretly opened the door of Lilu to spy on the situation outside, he raised his blood-stained ring-headed knife high and shouted: "The army of Zhao has arrived!" Those who follow me live, and those who oppose me die! ”

……

A few days later, Wu Wangfucha, who was commanding the army in Xiaoyi, heard the news of the annihilation of the entire army he sent to Lu Guobiao......

He was furious: "What! Zhao Lu's main force, isn't it here, and he is restrained by the widow? “

But worse news followed, and the husband immediately learned that Peiyi, the northern gateway of Pengcheng, had also fallen, and the vanguard of the Zhao cavalry had arrived several miles outside the city to spy on it......
