PS: It's a little late, I'm sorry, it's like this today, and there will be two shifts tomorrow, and there will be in the afternoon

In mid to late September, the autumn rain was temporarily suspended, the Song civil war was in full swing, the decisive battle was about to be carried out in Meng Zhu, the victory or defeat was especially unknown, and Lu State followed Confucius's killing of Shao Zhengmao, and there was a major event that caused a sensation throughout the country.

Kong Zhongni, who was in the photograph, threw out a new national policy that had been brewing for a long time.

A sharp-tongued inscription emanated from Qufu and spread throughout Sanhuan's territory. In the text, Confucius started from the earlier Nankui Rebellion, and continued to talk about the Yanghu Rebellion, which pointed to the problem of the excessive power of the retainer Yi Zai, which had plagued the Lu State for decades: "Nankui is gone, and there is a Yanghu; Although the Yang Tiger is gone, the traitors are revived, how can they be controlled? ”

While summarizing the lessons of the history of the Lu State, Confucius also proposed a solution, a simple and crude solution.

Fallen City!

"If you want to control it, you must first understand the etiquette system. The ancients had no hidden armor, and the doctors did not have a hundred pheasant cities, so the slaughter of the city had nothing to rely on to think of chaos. Now it is better to fall into its city and withdraw its armament, then the upper and lower levels will be at peace, and they can be permanent! ”

Sanhuan, the largest owner of the Lu State, unanimously agreed to this suggestion, and the fear of the traitors and Zhao Wuxian reminded them of the family motto of "forbearance for the country", and united to support Confucius's policy.

Confucius's disciples began to enter Sanhuan in large numbers in the past few months, Zilu served as the head of the Ji family, and Gongliangru served as the head of the Shusun family, and the first target of the fallen city was naturally the traitor of the Shusun family, the Marquis of Yi!

In June and July of this year, Hou killed Gong Ruo, and under the persuasion of Zhao Wuxian, he killed Sichi, a loyal minister of the Shusun clan, and took control of the power of Yunyi. It's like a feudal town. He decisively refused to carry out the order to unload his own weapons to fall into the city, and instead strengthened the city's defenses. A stubborn posture gave Qufu a reason to conquer him. Late September. Led by Shusun Zhou Qiu and Gongliangru, Lu State levied nearly 10,000 troops and began to besiege Yuyi one after another.

And the urgent letter from Yunyi flew like snowflakes to Xilu, which was under the jurisdiction of Zhao Xiaosikou.

……

In the Yunchengyi Temple, a young man with a clear face and a moon-white dark robe sat leisurely on a soft couch, holding a roll of light yellow silk paper in his hand, and was writing on it carelessly. The font is elegant and beautiful. From time to time, he took a sip of the thin wine on the table, as if he was not disturbed by the almost bombed Yi Temple.

No one could have imagined that such a dusty young man would be entrusted with the important task by Zhao Wuxian, the regent of Xilu, Yuncheng Zai Zhang Mengtan.

Sensing the anxious mood of the person waiting, he stopped writing, raised his eyes, and smiled back slightly. The smile is shallow, but it makes people suddenly feel a sense of moonlight breeze.

"That's it, you can find a way to bypass the people who besiege Yuyi, and go to the city to tell the Hou prisoner. Zhao Shi learned that it was coming, and hoped that he could hold on. ”

The "...... only" messenger bowed his head. Take the letter paper that is as light as a feather, but it seems to be heavier than Mount Tai. Left the house backwards.

As soon as he walked on his front foot, the tiger in uniform who was sitting in the hall couldn't help it. His name is Huhui, and he was originally a warrior under Zhao Ying, but now he is the Yuncheng Sima appointed by Zhao Wuxian, who controls the defense of Zuojin Shuyi. The tiger will be anxious, he stepped forward in two steps and three steps, and asked Zhang Mengtan: "Zhangzi, then I will go and gather the soldiers and pavilion soldiers, and I can march towards Yiyi in a few days." ”

After Zhang Mengtan took the messenger, he still sat under the window, and continued to write letters with the lamp book, and when he saw that the tiger would not wait to come up to ask for battle, he raised his eyes.

"Hu Sima," he put down the brush in his hand and got up to salute Hu Hui, and then said calmly: "Don't worry, just let the Yi soldiers and pavilion soldiers train as usual, and we will not send troops to the outside world for the time being." ”

Hu Hui was stunned: "Didn't Zhang Zi just promise to rescue the Hou prisoner before?" ”

"Yuyi can't be saved."

Tiger will be puzzled: "Why? Hasn't Yi been absorbed into the alliance of the Xilu doctors? ”

Zhang Meng said: "First, Qufu's attack on Yunyi this time is justified, it is for the Shusun clan to crusade against the rebellious ministers, although in June and July Si Kou sheltered the Hou prisoners, but the initiative is still in the hands of Shusun Zhouqiu. If we are strong for the Hou criminals, it is equivalent to telling the entire Lu State that the Zhao family and the traitors are on the side. ”

Huhui shook his head: "When did Zhang Zi become so pedantic, this nominal thing is more important than the fact that Yi Yi is our ally?" ”

"Important, at least for Si Kou, who was caught in the civil strife of the Song Dynasty, it is very important whether it is in name or in reality, at this moment, you must not be an enemy of Quanlu. Hu Sima, listen to me for the second reason, that is, Xilu currently does not have the strength to save Yu Yi......"

"Xilu can also levy more than 10,000 people, how can it not be enough?"

Zhang Mengtan calculated the arithmetic question for the Tiger Society: "All the cities in Xilu combined, it is true that more than 10,000 people can be requisitioned. But the Song Rebellion happened suddenly, and the war escalated day by day, it turned out that those soldiers could not make ends meet, so Si Kou took half of the soldiers and soldiers to the Song Kingdom, leaving only some pavilion guards guarding the city and the countryside. As for the 10,000 people that Hu Sima said, it was just a number on the surface, used to scare and scare the enemy, in fact, except for those who stayed in the cities and towns, the rest was less than 5,000, plus half of them also went to the Song State to transport and transfer grain, and we could use no more than 3,000 soldiers! ”

"Three thousand is enough to rush to the aid of Yunyi! The combined army of the Shusun clan and the Gong clan is only 10,000, plus the defenders of Yunyi, they may be able to fight! ”

Zhang Mengtan shook his head: "But it's only 'or can', behind these people, there are also the armies of the Ji clan and the Meng clan, if they carry out the levy, they will each have nearly 10,000 people to serve." If Si Kou is here, or even if Liu Xia is here, I believe that they can defeat a larger number of enemy troops with their outnumber, but now that Si Kou is not here, who else would dare to take this risk? Is Hu Sima willing to command? Do you have the confidence to win? ”

The tiger will be ashamed, and his own catties are clear: "I can't do it...... But Ran Qiu, Ran Qiu must be able to! ”

Since Ran Qiu made meritorious contributions in the ambush of bandits and the battle of the Snow Plain, he has gradually been regarded as a good general, and in terms of the overall situation and the command of more than 1,000 people, his ability is far better than Zhao Wuxian's Tiger Club, Yang Tongue Rong and others.

Zhang Mengtan went to close the door tightly, and then said: "No, the strategy of falling into the city this time was presided over by the great sect Bo Confucius, not that I have Ran You's loyalty to Si Kou, but to minimize the possibility of all accidents." Ran Qiu is a disciple of Confucius, and Si Kou can use him without doubt, but I can't bet everything on him, betting that he will be an enemy of Confucius for Si Kou's sake......"

Hu Hui's face was solemn: "I am ill-informed, and I don't know so much about the stakes. But I know that the skin does not exist, and Mao will be attached to the truth, Yiyi is the frontier of Xilu, and now the ministers of Qufu say that they want to fall, but they actually want to fall. If you don't save it at this time, when Yuyi falls, it will be Xilu's turn to suffer! ”

"I naturally know that the letter sent just now is just to let the Hou prisoner keep a few more days, when the king of Chuzhuang besieged the Song Dynasty, the Jin State also relied on this plan, so that the Song people held on to the ...... for three years"

"But this is not a long-term solution! Sooner or later, Yunyi will fall, but it will not last as long as three years. ”

Zhang Mengtan explained to the Tiger Society: "I have already calculated, Yunyi is a strong city, and it is close to Wenshui, north of Mount Tai, so it is not so easy to collapse. The method of siege, repairing the turrets and building the car, and preparing the equipment, can only be effective in March. When the siege begins, if the general is impatient and the ants are attached to him, one-third of the soldiers will be wounded, and those who will not pull out the city will also be affected by the attack. From the beginning of Si Kou's co-optation of the Hou prisoners, there was no Bar Yi as the center of the battle, but a forward fortress that delayed the enemy's time and killed the enemy's strength, which is to exchange space for time! ”

Tiger Club is still a little ignorant: "Space for time? ”

"That's right! As Confucius himself said, the deceased is like Sifu, who is reluctant to delay the Lu people day and night, and can exchange Si Kou's victory in the Song Kingdom, the time for him to return to Lu, and the time for me to arrange the backhand......"

Zhang Mengtan dipped the tip of his pen again, and his words were full of confidence: "Hu Sima, rest assured, this is also what Si Kou meant." The indisputability is only temporary, so that Lu Guo can not fight with us. Some victories are won by swords and armoured soldiers, while others are won by pen and paper and messengers! I will send these two letters to Feiyi and Jin Guowen County respectively...... In less than a month, the general trend of victory can be formed! (To be continued.) )
