When Wu Shigong entered the county town of Qufu in a hurry, he didn't expect that he and his soldiers were treated like little daughters-in-law.

Wu Shiwen and Wu Shigong's army was greeted by a minor official from Qufu County, who was also a chief steward of the Confucian Mansion. It is normal that this Shengyan Gong is high up and disdains to greet a small magistrate and a vulgar garrison.

Then, the cavalry of the Runing battalion was arranged to a corner of the county town of Qufu and was taken care of: except for Wu Shigong and these military attachés, some other soldiers had better not walk around the city to prevent disturbing the people. This Qufu county is like the outer courtyard of the Confucian Mansion. It's normal that this army can't move around when it comes to other people's homes.

The Confucian Mansion is really a house of etiquette, and after the chief steward arranged the soldiers, he immediately led Wu Shiwen and Wu Shigong to meet Sheng Yangong.

If you can see you, you can see you. But before the meeting, he asked Wu Shiwen and Wu Shigong to bathe and change clothes first. Indeed, after rushing this way, Wu Shiwen and Wu Shigong's bodies really smelled bad, and it was really good to take a bath.

Think about it, no matter what kind of rich and noble family in modern times, there is a problem at home, and a policeman runs to this house sweating profusely, but the owner of the house first asks the police to take a shower first, and then meets the police to express his gratitude. This......!? House of Etiquette! Normal, normal!

The meeting with Sheng Yan Gong was very short, and the main thing was that Wu Shiwen and Wu Shigong kowtowed to Sheng Yan Gong. However, Sheng Yan Gong was very polite and wanted to leave these two brothers for dinner.

Wu Shigong was already mentally prepared. Sheng Yangong will definitely not accompany him to dinner, and the one who will accompany him is the chief steward of the Confucian Mansion. Of course, the prince of Confucius also came to toast a few glasses of wine.

However, Wu Shiwen and Wu Shigong are both from wealthy families. In the Ming Dynasty, the standard of banquets for rich and noble families was very particular, and how many dishes were served and what dishes were served could show the importance of treating guests.

And the standard of the Confucian Mansion is to treat Wu Shiwen and Wu Shigong as hillbillies. Before the dinner, Wu Shigong still imagined that there was a beautiful Miss Kong who hid behind the curtain of the banquet guests and peeked at his hero. Because after all, I am a time-traveler! But this meal, don't say Bai Fumei, looking at these dishes at the banquet, Wu Shigong's heart is shouting: What about this Confucian family food? What about this Confucian wine?

I worked hard to rescue Confucius, but I didn't expect that in the eyes of Confucius, I was such a character! Normal! It's normal!

After the dinner, he returned to the camp, but he didn't expect his subordinates to complain. After they arrived in Qufu County, the Confucian Mansion did not supply a grain or firewood at all. The soldiers who wanted to eat hot food had to nibble on cold dry food.

Wu Shigong hurriedly went out to negotiate with a steward of the Confucian Mansion, and the steward said very politely to Wu Shigong: "The imperial court raises soldiers and pays military salaries just to stabilize the place, of course, there is no reason to ask the Confucian Mansion to pay money!" If Wu Shigong's soldiers want to eat hot food, they can use silver to buy it at the Confucian Mansion! The Confucian government promised not to raise the price and sold it to Wu Shigong at a flat price. ”

Hey! What else can Wu Shigong say?

According to Wu Shigong's temper, he wanted to take his army back to Ningyang County immediately, and no longer be angry under the nose of Sheng Yangong.

It was Wu Shigong who persuaded him: "Fourteenth brother, let's bear with it." No one can afford to offend this Shengyan Gong. We stayed here for a few days. Pretend to help Qufu County consolidate the city defense before leaving. ”

"It's okay if we don't come, but if we come and leave, it's obviously to wipe Sheng Yangong's face! If he gets angry, we won't be able to eat and walk around. This rescue is a rescue and a disaster is coming. It's not beautiful. Let's make an excuse when the time comes. ”

Wu Shiwen's words are indeed reasonable, but Wu Shigong's anger in his heart has been held for a long time. But Wu Shigong could only complain. He said to Wu Shiwen: "Being an errand at the end of the day, it's not comfortable to be an errand!" Alas! ”

Then Wu Shigong said to Wu Shiwen: "At most, stay until the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, and my sons and daughters will have to celebrate the New Year, so it is better to go to the fifth brother to be more comfortable." The younger brother left home and went out of Beijing, and there have been years of war, and there have been no years when he spent the New Year at home. How homesick! ”

"Done!"

At this time, Wu Shigong thought of Xue Yufei who was staying in the capital. His little wife didn't have much time to get together with him after he left Beijing. The days after marriage are also more separated and less together, and her life must be more difficult than herself. Wu Shigong secretly decided: When he returns to Henan this time, he must bring Xue Yufei to Henan to live for a few more days.

In the next few days, Wu Shigong asked his officers to guide the Confucian family members on how to defend Qufu County, and on the other hand, he stepped up the collection of news about Kong Youde's rebellious army. And some of the officers under Wu Shigong also asked people in the city who were familiar with the terrain of Shandong about the surrounding terrain.

After a lot of questioning, a simple map of the surrounding area was finally drawn. At this time, Wu Shigong realized that his position was actually quite safe.

The west of Ningyang County and Qufu County is Mount Tai, and to the north, separated from Kong Youde's rebellious army, is the famous Liangshanbo. Wu Shigong thought to himself that he would not be so unlucky, the three brothers of the Ruan family would never cross with him.

If Kong Youde's rebellious army wants to attack here, it will either have to collect a large number of ships, or it will have to make a big circle and bypass Liang Shanbo. This is a lot of energy and time-consuming, unless Kong Youde and Wu Shigong have a deep blood feud, otherwise, Kong Youde will do it after his brain is pumped.

Wu Shigong once again felt the military importance of maps. This time it's lucky, after not knowing the terrain, Wu Shigong just scared himself once, but what if he doesn't have luck next time? You can't rely on your luck in this war.

After a few days, Wu Shiwen and Wu Shigong found a reason to return to Ningyang County. This reason is very high-sounding: "Please tell the grandfather of this steward, and the officers and soldiers will return to Ningyang County." ”

"This chaotic army always comes to attack first in Ningyang County and then in Qufu County, and this official is here to say a word. Even if the official is unlucky, he will never let go of a rebel soldier who passed through Ningyang County and came to Qufu County to frighten the grandfather! ”

Then, regardless of the steward's retention, Wu Shigong and Wu Shiwen left with the cavalry. The steward of the Confucian Mansion is not easy to stay. Although he also wanted Wu Shigong's soldiers to stay for a while longer. But in the heart of the steward, he also knew that the masters of the Confucian Mansion were a little unauthentic.

This is going to be a soldier in the city, what are you doing with the shelf of the Confucian Mansion Shengyan Gong? Won't you give more smiles and benefits to the Ming army that came to help?

The soldiers who left Qufu County were quite happy, these days in Qufu County, those soldiers were all swallowing their anger under Wu Shigong's orders, and they were all suffocated. You must know that these soldiers used to follow Wu Shigong outside, but they have always been the role of showing off their might.

Unexpectedly, Wu Shigong's army had just marched seven or eight miles happily, but behind him, a flying horse rushed to the urgent messenger of the Confucian Mansion. He urgently reported to Wu Shigong: Sheng Yan Gong wanted Wu Shigong to rush back to Qufu County immediately, because there would be a Ming army to attack.

That's right! That's right! It was a Ming army that came to invade Qufu County.
