PS: This is the case today, and there will be two shifts tomorrow

"Although the warriors are good at field warfare, but the Qi people are outnumbered, a thousand warriors plus three thousand Yi soldiers and pavilion soldiers may not be able to resist even the half of the Qi army, and no matter how strong the military formation is, it will be smashed in the face of the sea-like crowd. What's more, the hill was originally Qiyi, if the field battle is unfavorable, the city is easy to change, so if the Qi people drive the city for a long time, only by defending the city, can they resist several times the enemy. ”

In response to the possible attack of Qi State, Zhao Wuxian, who has limited strength, decided to focus on defense, but how to defend has a lot of tricks to play. The strategy of defending the city cannot be just based on words, but also has to have specific details, this kind of thing Zhao Wuxian has only experienced in the small fights in the township the year before last, but fortunately, there are experts in the army.

The Tiger Society is a senior retainer of the Zhao family, who has resisted the siege of Rong Di in the small town of Jinyang, and has also fought the battle of Baxiaoqiu in the defense of the country, so he is quite experienced. For this reason, in mid-July, he received a notice in Yuncheng to change guards with Ran Qiu, and was specially recruited to Xiaqiu to participate in the public discussion and be responsible for the details of planning.

The Tiger Club is a veteran of the Zhao family, but he is not afraid of the Taishan trend of the Qi people, but the first suggestion he made is not how to defend the city.

He said: "I want the ministers to say that the battle is the same as Liubo, and the Marquis of Qi is a gambler, and it is really a desperate gamble to start a war in the autumn harvest season." Qi people may not plan to live next year, the people of Sanyi still have to live, eat soldiers, eat enough, this is the eternal truth. Si Kou had to think about how to store food before the war, and the defense of the city sometimes lasted for months and half a year, and 60,000 horses and horses were fed, clothed and chewed, which was not a small number. ”

This woke up Zhao Wuxian, and "Shangshu" also said that the law of governing the country is one is food, and the other is goods. The first thing to do in defending the city was to accumulate a large amount of corn, preferably to the extent of "three years of corn". At the same time, the soaring grain prices of the people were suppressed in order to calm people's hearts. The length of the battle to defend the city largely depends on how much food the defenders have, and only the stubborn character of the Song people in the same era can hold out until Yizi eats and does not surrender.

As for the siege of Jinyang, which was hanging in the kettle decades later, Zhao Wuxian didn't plan to let that happen.

"Yes. Now that the spring wheat and corn in Sanyi are gradually maturing, even if the 100,000 army is pressing, it can't be delayed, just let the pavilions and li organize the pavilions to harvest the grain and transport it into the warehouse, what is it? ”

Hu Hui said with a smile: "Good, after the autumn harvest, half of the pavilion soldiers will be transferred to the suburbs for training, and the agricultural affairs and the management of the army will not be delayed, this is a wonderful method." The pavilion chief and the thief led the rest of the people and the local clan to cooperate to maintain law and order. As for the people of the eup, who did not work as farmers, they first served as laborers. It is responsible for repairing and reinforcing the wall, and the construction of gatehouses, sentry posts, and wells should be accelerated. ”

Wuxian added: "There are also toilets, let the craftsmen build them according to the public toilets in the city, so that every mile in the city has them, the sewage must be reasonable, and do not contaminate the water source!" All those who have symptoms will be sent to the medical officer Zibao for isolation and treatment. ”

There are many similar battles in history, and the other walls were not breached at that time. But the epidemic that was bred in the city was crushed, and Zhao Wuxian's reputation for "guiding" the divine doctor Bian Que became a big joke.

The tiger will be good. He continued: "The method of defending the city is to knock down all the houses and lintels where the arrows can reach outside the city, so that they will not be used as fortifications by the enemy. Within ten miles, all firewood, grass and trees were cut down and transported into the city. In the city, wherever arrows may be shot in the city. All roofs should be plastered with a layer of mud to prevent fire. There is still a month to go, and when everyone sees that Kou has not arrived for a long time, they will inevitably slack off, and they will also let the guards of each city inspect the sentry posts every day and inspect the city defense of the river ditch. ”

"In addition. All the clans were to supply some of the food and money needed for the war, and all skilled craftsmen were to use their skills to build the equipment for defending the city. It is also necessary to strengthen the inspection of passing pedestrians in the pavilion to prevent people from mixing in. Have the cavalry scatter their territory from the scouts, blocking and watching out of the way where enemies may pass by. ”

These things don't have to be done by themselves, just leave them to the doctors and guards to organize. With these preparations, he became more confident.

"There is a saying that the upper army is scheming, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is the siege. If the Qi people don't attack the west, it's good, if they dare to come, Zhun Bao will let them dry up under the city, as long as it is winter, even if they don't want to leave, the rain and snow in winter will drive them away! ”

"The upper army is plotting, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is the siege?"

Everyone was stunned for a while after hearing this, and the Tiger Club praised the subtlety of this after a while.

Si Kou summed it up very well, indeed, compared to strategy and diplomacy, as well as the field warfare that the military soldiers are best at, siege is indeed the most inferior, the most hurtful and hurtful method of warfare. The subordinate has been in the military for many years, and he has seen and heard everything. ”

"It's not what I said, it's a sentence from Sun Wuzi, I've heard the Wu people talk about it in Taoqiu before......" Wuxian secretly stuck out his tongue, thinking to himself that Sun Tzu's well-known sentence in the Art of War has not spread?

This is just the worst-case scenario to deal with the arrival of Qi soldiers in the city, in addition, he and Zhang Mengtan also prepared three strategies: strategy, communication, and soldiers, some of which have been completed and are just waiting for the matter to start, and some are still being planned, and they will be implemented slowly for more than a month......

……

In addition to preparing to defend the city for a long time internally, Zhao Wuxian also asked people to go to Xinjiang in the Jin Kingdom all night to deliver a letter to inform Zhao Ying of the matter, so that his father could deal with it, which was the strategy of "plotting".

The state of Qi attacked again, the short-term goal was to recapture the state of defense and punish the state of Lu, but the ultimate goal was to compete with the state of Jin for the position of hegemon. No matter how serious the internal fighting is, Liuqing has to pinch his nose and work together in the face of foreign criminals, so as to react somewhat.

However, Zhao Wuxian observed the internal situation of the Jin State and felt that the scene of the Chinese army and the upper army going straight to Pushang and scaring the Qi people away like last year may not be able to be reproduced. He also didn't want the main force of the Zhao clan to be transferred out of the country, but if the Qi people attacked, it was completely okay for Zhao Ying to use a small number of soldiers from Wen County to march east to deter the defense of the country, so that they could not harass Zhen Yi from the west.

At the same time, you can also remotely control Handan's and see how they react.

"It's not enough to have this strategy, when the news reaches the Jin State, the six secretaries of the Jin State will discuss a resolution and assemble the army, maybe it will be the end of September. In the one-month time difference between Qi and Jin's troops, wherever Qi Shi pointed, he had to bear tremendous pressure. Although Sanyi made sufficient preparations, the army was in trouble, the people were killed and wounded, and the acres of land were wasted. The withering of business travel is indispensable. It is necessary to find a way to keep the enemy out of the city and prevent the Sikou's territory from becoming the main battlefield. ”

Zhang Mengtan is still the same, cautious and serious, and after coming up with one strategy, he then meditates on another, which is the plan of "cutting off relations".

The eyes of the shirtless are all over the past few days when they look at the map. Now he can recite the topography and city situation of Lu with his eyes closed.

"The direction of the main attack of the Qi people is nothing more than the west and north, the northern border of Yuyi and Guancheng are now the main affairs of Gongyiyang, and the Yangguan area is guarded by Zilu, and it will be left to Sanhuan to worry about himself. On the Xibei side, with my understanding of Sanhuan, I'm afraid I can't count on them for half a point, so I can only rely on myself. But in the north, Qinyi, Fanyi, Yiyi, and Xuju, as well as Gaoyu between Liqiu and Yuncheng, and even Zhongdu south of Wenshui. It's not my territory......"

Zhang Meng talked about the head of the chin and said: "Qinyi is in the north of Zhen, Fanyi is in the north of Xiaqiu, and Yi and Xuju are in the north of Yuncheng. If the Qi people come, it will not be us who will be the first to bear the impact, but the above provinces, if they cannot be coordinated, they will surrender to the enemy, but will become a burden to the Sikou. ”

No shirt but in the chest: "In the past six months. The carloads of gifts that made Mr. Ji feel distressed were not given in vain, and the news to the doctors in the western suburbs had already passed through. Meng talked and looked at it, in a few days, they will panic and come to me for help! ”

Zhang Meng said: "On the side of Lucheng, Si Kou also has to lower his posture and pretend to ask for help from the monarch and Sanhuan......"

Wuxian nodded: "I know." In any case, the attitude of the respected monarch must be sufficient, and we must first let Sanhuan be unkind, so that we can have a reason to be unjust! ”

……

At the end of July, it was different from the orderliness of Zhao Wuxian's forces. After the news that the Qi State began to gather the people of the countryside and wanted to watch the troops in the Lu State reached Lu City, inside and outside the Qufu Gong Palace, the court was extremely panicked.

In the end, it was Xiao Zongbo Kongqiu's words that calmed Lu Hou and Sanhuan.

"Your Majesty! When Qi Huan was the Duke of Qi, how powerful the Qi division was, and was repelled by the Lu people in the long spoon, the ugliness of the Lu State and the Qi State in the past were the fault of the Yang Tiger, but now the Qi people listened to the words of the traitor to fight, it was an unkind and unrighteous teacher, and it was defeated. Although the country of Lu is small, it has tens of thousands of halberds, and although it is the state of Zhou Lidun, it cannot be humiliated. I also asked the king to order the princes and doctors to guard their own borders, and gather the left and right armies to stand by the north and the west respectively, so that all the people can be controlled. ”

According to the old rules of the Zong Zhou Dynasty, it was "the six armies of the Son of Heaven, the three armies of large countries, the second army of China, and the first army of small countries". Lu Ben is the second army, the eleventh year of Xianggong, the self-proclaimed "Zhou Gong's country, the head of the surname Ji" Lu Guo probably felt that his international status was higher, and he was hot-headed at the time of the meeting of small countries such as Teng, Xue, Tan, and Qi, so he "made three armies", Ji Wuzi, Uncle Mu, and Meng Xianzi each led the levy of one army.

But after the meeting of the soldiers, Lu faced the Jin and Chu sides at the same time to force tribute, and gradually could not bear the military endowment, Lu Zhaogong five years, Sanhuan decided to "give up the army", return to the second army, four parts of the land for taxation. The Ji clan is the main right army, and the Meng clan and his uncle and grandson each have their own half of the army, in fact, it is the same as the situation of the Jin State, and they all use private clan soldiers to make up the numbers.

Confucius's words, Sanhuan listened, the north and the west have always been the main targets of the Qi people's attacks in previous years, but selfish they are not willing to transfer people to the west to guard the palace, because the doctors there are relatively independent, and there are few Sanhuan territories.

Mengsun He Ji remembered the words of his retainer Gong Zhiyang, and was the first to shirk and said: "Guancheng is first broken, there may be remnants of Yanghu's remnants around, and Yunyi guards the northern border of Lu State, if it is broken, Qi people can go straight to Lucheng along the southern foot of Mount Tai, and they must not be unprepared, so Meng's half army has to meet it in the area of Yiyi and Guancheng." ”

Ji Sunsi was hinted at by Shao Zhengmao, and he did not fall behind: "Yu Nai is the ruler of the Lu State, and he must sit in the capital to see the overall situation, so Ji's half army has to be stationed in Lu City in case of emergency." As for the other half of the army, it has always been recruited from Feiyi, but now the Gongshan clan does not listen to the dispatch, and Yu is helpless. ”

He sighed, and Lu Hou had no choice but to look at his uncle and grandson.

"Da Sima?"

As the worst family in Sanhuan, Shusun Zhouqiu naturally didn't want to let the Shusun clan soldiers, who were easy to recover, go to the Qi people. So he followed Ji Sunsi's words and took the initiative to ask Ying to take half of the army to monitor Feiyi, so as not to "Gongshan Bufu and Yanghu should cooperate with each other".

As a result, because of the geographical location of the Meng, the monk could not run the temple, so he had to undertake half of the defense of the northern border, and the other half was pressed on the shoulders of Sima Zilu in Yangguan.

Confucius was worried about his disciples, but he also couldn't rest assured that he had a good relationship with Zhao Wuxian, as well as several doctors in Wenshang, and the Zhongdu Yi where he once worked was also there.

"What about the West? Xiwei Shuyi is the main direction of attack of Qi people in previous years, how to do it? In the past few days, Lu Hou has been so worried that he has a few gray hairs, and his voice is tired at the moment.

Uncle Sun Zhouqiu probably felt that his reason was the most unreasonable, so he patted his thigh and added: "Your Excellency forgot, isn't there Zhao Xiaosikou in the West?" ”

Kong Qiu reminded him: "Da Sima, have you forgotten that Fang Caijun just showed Zhao Xiaosikou's letter of request for help, saying that there seems to be an abnormality in the defense of the country and the theft of Da Yeze, if the Qi people come to attack, I am afraid that the soldiers will not be enough, and I hope to send troops to help." ”

Doctor Shao Zhengmao said with a smile: "False, Xiao Sikou is too modest, the Zhao family is a rare strong army in the Lu State, and the heavy task of resisting the Qi people should naturally be borne by him." ”

Ji Sunsi and Mengsun He Ji glanced at each other, and then looked away, now Ji's family, Meng's family, and Zhao Wuxian are all in a relationship of defense and forbearance. Among them, Ji was stabbed by Meng last time by using Confucius's great etiquette, and his prestige was greatly damaged, so he asked Zhao Wuxian for help, but he couldn't help but secretly hack it. The Meng clan was openly hostile because of his public evil to Zhao Wuxian.

What Uncle Sun Zhou Qiu thought of, how could they not know? The xenophobic Sanhuan has always rejected Zhao Wuxian, a Jin person, and only wants Zhao Wuxian to fulfill his obligation to suppress thieves on weekdays, but does not give him more rights.

Now that the national crisis is at hand, they have made it clear that they are unwilling to give Zhao Wuxian any promises. When the Qi army attacks the west, in order to defend the territory, Zhao Xiaosikou will naturally send troops, and it is enough to verbally appease him afterwards, if he can make Qi and Zhao both defeated, it is the best! Who made him not want to think about today's crisis when he captured Zhencheng and Xiaqiu!

They suddenly forgot that when the State of Lu was besieged by the State of Qi in Yuncheng last year, it was precisely Zhao Wuxian who seized Zhen and led Zhao Ying to attack Qiqiu, which accelerated the end of the war.

Confucius also understood that after entering the capital for more than half a year, the court of Lu Guo had nothing to do, and he couldn't find a few people who dared to take responsibility when he encountered something.

Although his status has been improved and he has been able to participate in political affairs, he can be a small sect uncle, and his full-time work is to participate in ceremonial sacrifices, as well as whether there is any loss of etiquette in the court, and it is okay to suggest military affairs, but not to interfere too much.

"Those who are in power are indeed the ones who fight the basket!" Believing in the golden mean, he rarely had a trace of anger.

Facing Sanhuan and Doctor Zhu, who were still arguing, Kong Qiu felt a little tired for a while, and began to miss the time when Zaidu and all the disciples worked together......

He complained to his old friend Liu Xiaji afterwards: "If Zhongyou, Ran Qiu, Fan Xu, and Gongliang are all here among my disciples, Qiu Zi can ask for the army to lead the army to the west to defend against the enemy, why listen to the disputes of this generation!" I only hope that Zhao Xiaosikou can survive this crisis. ”

……

So far, the situation in Lucheng is really not as Zhao Wuxian expected. Sanhuan shrank his head before the incident, and quarreled about how to allocate the defense area, and no one paid attention to the safety of Xibei except for Confucius and a few others who could not speak on the matter.

The rest of the Yi doctors and Yi Zai also learned of Qi Guo's actions one after another, and the urgent letters flew into Lu City like snowflakes, but what they got were some empty words that were not nutritious.

As a result, some letters asking for help began to float towards the hill.

This is exactly what he wants, he changed the anxious appearance when he "asked for help" from Lu Cheng, and wrote in a reply letter to Dr. Qin Yi:

"Now that Lu Guozheng has many doors, the people who are in power abandon Xilu like a mustard, and they are afraid of the doctors. I am a small priest, and I have the authority to say, 'Little Master, kill', which means that in case of trouble, I have to personally supervise the army and investigate the punishment. Therefore, this time the West is resisting the Qi army, and I have the responsibility of coordinating and supervising the army, so naturally I will not sit back and watch the Qi people attack Qinyi. I also hope that the doctor can inform friends and neighbors, we are forced to have no choice but to protect each other, mainly without compassion, and work together to defend!
