In the morning, the hall of the Ji Mansion was silent, and everyone in the mansion knew that the head of the house was in a bad temper today, and they trembled one by one, for fear of touching his moldy head. Yang Hu and Zhong Lianghuai all knelt on the couch, watching Ji Sun Yiru walk angrily in the hall, and they didn't dare to come out.

"Wu Guo...... Wu sent 30,000 soldiers on the border of Lu and Wu, and sent envoys to come, what did he want? Ji Sun Yiru asked angrily.

Zhong Lianghuai glanced at Yang Hu, lowered his head and said: "The lord, the king of Wu, is determined to win the qingji, this time I am afraid it is not a bluff, we really can't do it for a qingji, ruining the great cause of the lord." According to the humble opinion, it should be driven away from the ...... No, you should take advantage of the future of Wu Envoy to find a reason to arrest him and hand it over to Wu Envoy, then it will be ...... for the lord"

"For the lord, it is self-destruction!" Yang Hu intercepted and said: "The lord has always done the world with benevolence and righteousness, if he does such a thing, thousands of people will scold, and the name of benevolence and righteousness will be gone. ”

Zhong Liang Huaiyin smiled: "Just as Yang Hu said, then the lord drove Qingji to leave the country is finally benevolent and righteous, and no one will talk nonsense, right?" Now Qingji is quite restless in Qufu, befriending the sons of all families, and forcing the daughter of the uncle and grandson to be slaves, which is ridiculous and violates the etiquette system, the lord uses this as an excuse to drive him out of the country of Lu as soon as possible. ”

Ji Sun Yiru couldn't help but move when he heard it, but before he could shout the word "good", Yang Hu had already sneered three times in the sky, and shouted angrily: "Good plan, really good plan!" It turns out that this is your Zhongliang Huai's clever plan. Qingji will not chase sooner or later, but when the Wu envoy is coming, my lord can't wait to expel Qingji. Hey! King Wu is really majestic, he has not been awarded the title of Zhou Tianzi, and he is already the uncle of Kyushu. How will the heroes of the world think of my father-in-law? What will Zhou Tianzi think of my father-in-law? Wu is located in a remote area, it is a small southern barbarian country, has my Lu country now become a subject country of barbarian Wu? ”

The overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, is the person who governs the princes and the main expedition on behalf of Zhou Tianzi, this overlord is not self-appointed, even if your force is strong enough, you must be confirmed by Zhou Tianzi, and he is named "Bochang", that is, the chief of the princes, given a bow and crossbow, gizzard meat, and fulfilled this set of rituals, so it is justified, so Yang Hu has this word.

The more he talked, the more angry he became, Huo Di stood up, and Su Fei said: "My lord is the ruler of the Lu country, and this behavior makes my lord humiliate the princes externally and despise the people internally, won't he become the target of the public?" At that time, what kind of face will my lord have to order his ministers and rule the country? ”

When Ji Sun Yiru heard him say this, he immediately hesitated again. Although he is afraid of things, he has a better reputation, and if he is looked down upon like this, it is worse than killing him. What's more, uncles and grandsons and Mengsun look at him for delay, if his reputation is greatly damaged and he loses the hearts of the people, how can they not take the opportunity to make trouble?

Zhong Lianghuai saw that he was angry, and he was also a little afraid in his heart, but remembering that Gongshan was not ruthless and was an alliance with him, and now the opportunity was even more rare, and his courage became stronger again, so he said proudly: "Yang Hu, exaggerate, bluff. As the ruler of the Lu State, the lord should think about the Lu State, in order to avoid the harm of the sword soldiers, he drove a disaster out of the country, how could he be so charged? I, Lu country, has always regarded forbearance as a country, and has always valued peace, when did it weaken the reputation of Lu country? ”

Yang Hu retorted: "This time, that time." If you haven't seen Qingji at the beginning, you may still make it. Now that the general Qingji has been ushered in Qufu in a grand manner, as soon as he heard that Wu Guo used troops, he immediately drove him away, if he was not afraid of Wu State, how could he come here? Let's ask, no matter how high-sounding reasons are found for such a move, can such an act that hurts the national body and damage the reputation of the world be concealed from the world? ”

Zhong Liang let out a strange laugh: "Now that you know it, do you regret it at the beginning?" Didn't you say that Yingqing didn't come to Qufu at the beginning? ”

Ji Sun Yiru's face was hot when he heard this, although it was Yang Hu's suggestion at the beginning, but no matter what, after all, it was his decision, and if he continued to talk about it, it would go around his head. Ji Sun Yiru said angrily: "Okay, okay, you two don't quarrel, the quarrel makes the old man have a headache, and he can't come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, hum!" It's all a bunch of rubbish! ”

Ji Sun Yiru turned his face, Yang Hu and Zhong Lianghuai glared at each other fiercely, closed their mouths in unison, and no one touched him at this time. Ji Sun Yiru sometimes lost his hands and sometimes brushed his sleeves, and continued to pace in the hall, but unfortunately pacing back and forth, he still couldn't think of a way that would not damage his prestige and properly touch the pressure of the Wu army.

At this moment, someone at the door shouted: "Lord, humble and come back." ”

With the voice, Gongshan did not walk in a tiger step, strode in from outside the hall, stepped forward with a fork of his hands and wanted to salute, Ji Sun Yiru said impatiently: "Okay, okay, don't worship, you tell me quickly, I want my uncle and grandson and Mengsun to join forces to send troops, but the enemy is outside the country, why don't you hear back for a long time, what do they say?" ”

Gongshan said respectfully: "My lord, I humbly invited the two heads of the family, Uncle Sun and Mengsun, to discuss the strategy of sending troops to the enemy, but ...... Uncle Sun replied that peace is the most important thing in the exchanges between the two countries. Forbearance for the country has been the national policy of my country for hundreds of years, and it has always been effective, but now I have to change my course? Uncle and grandson advised the lord to ......"

"How do you persuade me?"

"Uh...... He advised the lord to be aware of current affairs and major issues, to know that mistakes can be corrected, and to be good as a stream......"

"Fart, smelly, what a fart!"

Ji Sun Yiru listened to Uncle Sun Yu's words, and couldn't help but be angry, he blew his beard and glared at his eyes, and asked again: "What did Meng Sun say?" ”

Gongshan Bufu showed a wry smile on his face: "The head of the Mengsun family is not in the mansion at the moment. ”

Ji Sun Yiru said suspiciously: "I don't believe that he Meng Sun Ziyuan didn't put down his eyeliner, I don't know the news of Wu Guolai's envoy, where did this old man go early in the morning?" ”

The corners of Gongshan's mouth twitched slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Lord Mengsun went out of the city, saying that he was going to hunt and perform martial arts in the fields of Niqiu Mountain, and he had sent an order to mobilize ten brigades of men and horses to camp at the foot of Niqiu Mountain. ”

Ji Sun Yiru gasped when he heard this, among the three Huan, Meng Sun's surname is like a fire, dare to fight and dare to do it, he suddenly transferred 5,000 soldiers to Qufu, what is he going to do?

The Shiwu system was pioneered from the Shang Dynasty and later inherited by the Zhou Dynasty. King Wu of Zhou issued the "Pastoral Oath" and mentioned the official positions of "centurion" and "thousand-commander". At that time, the army was usually composed of seven levels: corps, 12,500 men; divisions, 2,500 people; brigade, 500 people; pawns, 100 people; partial, 50 people; two, 25 people; Woo, 5 people. The 10 Brigade is 5,000 people, which is already the establishment of two divisions, and such a large mobilization of military strength has never been used in previous years.

Gongshan Bufu and Zhong Lianghuai touched their eyes, Zhong Lianghuai showed a smug smile on his face, Yang Hu saw their expressions, angry in his heart, and suddenly got up and hugged his fists and said: "Lord, humble and ask for your life, I am willing to take a group of men and horses to the border of Wulu to resist the enemy, relieve the siege of my Lu country, please ask the lord for permission." ”

Ji Sun Yiru glanced at him and said, "Bastard, the Shu and Meng families don't send troops, as long as my Ji family is responsible for defending the country?" Killing 1,000 people and inflicting 800 self-losses, at that time, my Ji clan's strength was greatly weakened, how could I compete with the Shumeng family? And ......"

Ji Sun Yiru's face was cloudy, and he said hesitantly: "What the hell is the Meng Sun clan doing?" If I send troops to resist the enemy, the Mengsun clan will take advantage of the gap behind my back...... No, never. ”

Gongshan glanced at Yang Hu without a sneer, and an intriguing smile appeared on his face: "Lord, according to my humble opinion, all accidents now arise because of Qingji. If you don't go, it will be difficult for Lu to be safe. However, if Qingji is forcibly expelled from the country, after all, the prestige of our country will be damaged, and the prestige of the Lord will be damaged. In the humble opinion...... Why don't you reveal your embarrassment to Qingji, he knows that he can't do anything, and he is afraid that Wu Guo will come to make it unfavorable to him, only people who know each other will definitely take the initiative to ask to leave, so that it will not only solve the danger of my Lu country, but also not damage the prestige of the lord, I don't know what the lord's will will be? ”

Ji Sun Yiru's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Wonderful, this plan is very wonderful, it's just ...... How can Qingji take the initiative to leave the country of Lu? ”

Gongshan straightened his waist: "I am willing to go to see Qingji, talk to him heartily, and tell him to retreat and leave automatically." ”

"Wait!" Seeing this situation, Yang Hu hurriedly said: "My lord, I also think that Gongshan is not so thoughtful, so I humbly ask for my life to persuade him." ”

Gongshan said with a smile: "Now that you are in internal and external troubles, it is a critical juncture, you are a powerful person by the side of the lord, how can you leave for a while?" Gongshan is not ruthless now, and it is better for me to go. ”

"No!" Yang Hu Zhengse said: "No matter how clever it is, Qingji is afraid that he will understand that it is my Lu State who does not want to anger Wu State." If he goes away with anger and spreads it everywhere, then your foolish plan will not work, and the reputation of my lord will still be greatly damaged. Qingji came to Qufu, and it was Yang Hu who went to Qicheng to usher in it. I went to explain the difficulties of my father-in-law, so that he would know that it was not my father-in-law who refused to help him, but that it was the will of God that could not help him, and he would be more acceptable. ”

When Yang Hu said this, he sighed gloomily and said: "Alas, besides, no matter what, it was I who advocated Yingqing Ji to go to Lu at the beginning, and now I am trapped in the injustice of the lord, it is all Yang Hu's fault, if Yang Hu can't atone for his sins, he won't be at ease even if he dies; Besides, Yang Hu and Qingji are also a friendship, I welcomed him at the beginning, and now I send him there, starting and ending well, and I have fulfilled my friend's heart. ”

Ji Sun was as happy as he was, and said happily: "Yanghu has always valued love and righteousness, and the old man knows it. Not flattering because of its development, not being cold because of its downfall, this is what a gentleman does. Okay, the old man has fulfilled you, so it's up to you to persuade Qingji to leave. ”

Gongshan scolded in his heart: "Fuck, what you say is high-sounding, taking all the fault on yourself, and pretending to be a benevolent and righteous gentleman, and voting for the favor of the lord and the public, it is really deceitful." Piff! When I don't know, are you going to discuss countermeasures with Qingji? ”

Zhong Lianghuai also secretly scolded: "Yang Hu is really cheating, at such a sensitive moment, if he secretly goes to see Qingji, once the incident happens, he will arouse the suspicion of the lord, and now under the guise of relieving the lord's worries, he went to see him in a grand manner, not only did he not have any worries, but he made the lord happy, it was really his grandmother's!" ”

Yang Hu got Ji Sun's wishes, immediately said goodbye in a hurry, went out of the deep house compound, and went to the front porch to call people to prepare the car, at this moment, one of his henchmen hurriedly rushed over, called Yang Hu aside, and whispered: "My lord, the Mengsun family sent a message from the house, last night the uncle and the Mengsun family met overnight, and they said at the banquet that they would send an envoy to Qi ......."

Yang Hu stayed there after hearing his words, his hands trembled, and his heart suddenly became cold: "Lu Jun is going to return to the country?" Uncle Sun and Meng Sun are aggressive, step by step so steady, borrowing the momentum of Wu State, drawing the power of the Ji clan inside, intimidating him with soldiers, suppressing him with the king, and using the heart and surname of his own lord, how can he parry? ”

Yang Hu was disheartened for a while: "That's it, the general trend has gone." I wanted to discuss a countermeasure with Qingji again, but now it's like this, alas! God won't help me, God won't help me......"

Yang Hu sighed gloomily, waved his hand silently, dismissed him, and walked towards the carriage with heavy steps......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Yayuan, Qingji welcomed Yanghu into the hall, sat down in two, saw Yanghu's face heavy, Qingji felt that something was wrong, and when Yanghu showed his intention with difficulty, he picked out the conspiracy of Mengsun and Shusun one by one, and Qingji was also stunned. The two looked at each other silently, their faces solemn, and they were speechless for a long time.

Uncle Sun Shaoguang walked to the door, keenly aware of the abnormal atmosphere in the hall, the expression on Qingji's face was something she had never seen before, his face was expressionless, but his eyes shot a blazing and dangerous light, and it made people feel terrified when they looked at it. Uncle Sun Shaoguang hesitated for a moment, but finally did not step in, but quietly retreated.

"What are Childe's plans now?" Yang Hu asked with a lonely expression.

Qingji took a deep breath: "Brother Tiger...... Want to stop there? ”

Yang Hu showed a gloomy look: "The matter has come to this, who has the power to return to the sky?" Childe, now staying in the country of Lu, is useless. Alas! Gongzi sent people as soon as possible, withdrew the men and horses sent to intercept the Wu envoy, and rushed back to defend the country first. This matter, it is said that Yang Hu is naïve, how easy is it to help you destroy the country, the monarch is in the country of Qi, promising great benefits, it took a few years, and still can't borrow a soldier, I actually think that the lord can have the courage to help you destroy Wu? Hey! ”

Yang Hu smiled ashamedly and shook his head again.

"Do you want me to retreat and leave Lu?"

Yang Hu was silent, Qingji stared at him, and a rush of anger suddenly surged in his heart, at this moment, he completely forgot the difference between this Qingji and his Qingji, he regarded himself as a complete person, not for Qingji, not for Xi Bin, just for him now, now he is a person, for his dignity.

He can't go, he can't walk like this!

Although he had already done something last night and planned to retire without leaving, he couldn't care about it at this moment, he had been cautious for so long in Lu State, quietly waiting for Ji Sun Yiru to make a decision, just waiting for such an ending? How can he be worthy of those righteous men who are loyal to him? What is there to return to Ai with a big face, and continue to enjoy the support of the soldiers with peace of mind?

Lu Guo Sanhuan, aren't they the three family heads who protect the remnants of their ancestors? I have left my fate in your hands, but you have let me down so much. From now on, it is no longer you who decide my fate, not only will I try to control my own destiny, but I will also use every means to control your destiny and make you available to me! People are anxious to be wise, a bold and dangerous plan appears in his heart, he decides to turn against the guest, from now on, use his actions to lead Sanhuan to follow his pace, instead of waiting for almsgiving.

Qingji smiled coldly, looked at Yang Hu, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Tiger, I know that you have great ambitions, and I hope that you can make contributions in this life and make your wife and son." Let me ask you, today Qingji left, the disaster of Wu State subsided, Lu Jun returned to Lu State, and with the support of the Shu and Meng families, weakened the Ji family, even with the help of heroes like you, how many years will it take for the Ji family to recover? ”

Yang Hu's eyes drooped, and he said: "After this setback, I'm afraid that my lord will no longer have great ambitions, be content with the success, and maintain the fundamentals, hey!" Lick one's wounds...... Maybe in another thirty years, fifty years, or a hundred years, a hero with great ambitions will emerge from my Ji clan to be able to surpass the Shu and Meng clans again. ”

Qing Ji nodded slightly, and said sonorously: "Lord Jisun retreated when he saw the danger, and the price he paid was just to hand over the power to govern, and he was just a brother and equal with the Shu and Meng families, what else is there to lose?" And what about Lord Yanghu? Jun is a cold and micro domestic slave, now he is said to be high, holding the power of the prime minister, the minister is side-eyed, and the doctor is killed and killed, and his majesty is indispensable.

However, now everyone in the world knows the three heroes of the Ji family, Yang Hu, Gongshan Buhu, Zhong Liang Huai, how many people know the surname of Meng Sun's retainers? How many people know the names of the retainers of the Shusun clan? I'm afraid no one knows. Why is that? Just because the Ji family is dominant, above the Shu and Meng families, they are now the kings of the Lu country. If Lord Jisun retreats like this, for him personally, what will he lose, but what else can Lord Yanghu leave? All that you have now, all your glory, your authority, your fame, have come to naught. Are you willing? ”

Yang Hu's face turned hideous, his breathing was heavy, and he hissed: "Qingji Gongzi, you don't have to provoke me with words, are you willing to be my Yang Hu?" Painstaking management, exhaustion of hard work, and ending up like this, is Yang Hu willing? Stop here, Yanghu can still have a house and a land, and have no worries about food and clothing, but Yanghu doesn't want such a life. Even if he drains his liver and blood, but he wants to make a lifetime of achievements, why does Yang Hu regret this? But...... But ......, now that the situation is like this, it is difficult to return to heaven even if he dies, what can Yang Hu do? And how! ”

Qingji sneered: "What situation? Today's situation may seem dangerous, but in fact there is a lot to be done. What was impossible can now be done. The dark clouds covered the moon, did they blindfold a pair of tiger brothers? Do you know that the clouds see the moon, and the clouds will be clear one day? ”

Yang Hu blushed, and said angrily: "Uncle Sun Mengsun is aggressive, the monarch is about to return to Lu State, Wu envoy is far away, tens of thousands of troops Chen soldiers border, external worries and internal troubles, and so on, what chance is there?" You speak! ”

Qingji's eyes were cold, and he said with a murderous face: "If the monarch of your country can't return to Lu State, and the envoys of Wu State can't go to Qufu, and it will be difficult for uncles and grandsons to join forces to force each other, won't all problems be solved at that time?" ”

"How?"

"You can't do it, I can do it!"

Yang Hu's eyes were stunned: "The monarch can't go back to Lu?" How difficult is it for the uncles and grandsons and Mengsun to join forces? How can you do that? How is it possible? ”

"Of course, I also need Brother Tiger to help me."

Yang Hu changed color and said, "This is impossible!" ”

Qingji smiled: "Brother Tiger, just swore an oath and talked about draining blood from the liver, not hesitating to do this?" Is this moment of hard work timid? ”

Yang Hu said: "It's not that Yang Hu is cowardly, but he doesn't want to make senseless sacrifices." Qingji Gongzi, how many manpower do you have available now? What great things can be done? The last time you were able to enter and leave the mansion of your uncle and grandson and Mengsun as if you were in a no-man's land, it was because they had been too peaceful for a long time and neglected to take precautions. I dare say that if you try to enter his house at night now, you will not be able to move an inch. Alas, Qingji Gongzi, I advise you to go back to defend the country, and work hard to manage it, and you may not have a chance to return to the country. Even if you don't have a chance, you can still defend a city and enjoy peace. After all, Yang Hu is a Lu person, although he wants to make a contribution, but I can't do anything to destroy the foundation of the Lu country. ”

Qingji smiled: "Brother Tiger doesn't have to be suspicious, I want you to help me, just to buy me a little time." Ten days, I only need ten days, as long as Brother Tiger helps me stabilize Lord Jisun for ten days, I can change the day and reverse the situation! ”
