Chapter 821: Chen Cai was trapped and starved of food

Mobile reading

Chen was in turmoil, and Confucius took this opportunity to submit his resignation. He didn't want to stay in Chen Guo anymore, and he couldn't stay any longer. The new monarch of the country sent people to invite him more than once, but he wanted to meet the young monarch and hoped that his new ideas could play a role in the defense of the country.

In Chen Guo, there is no hope. Even if Chen Guo is not chaotic and Wu Guo does not come to invade, his new ideas will not be taken seriously. In the country of Chen! He was just an ornament that earned Chen Gong a reputation for cherishing talents.

Chen Guo was in turmoil, and Chen Gong couldn't take care of Confucius and agreed to his resignation.

Knowing that Confucius was leaving the state of Chen, King Zhao of Chu wanted to reuse Confucius, and sent envoys to pay tribute to Confucius, and sealed Confucius with 700 li of the book society.

The news reached Chen, Cai, and the doctors of the two countries, thinking that Confucius and Chu had some conspiracy, so they sent troops to intercept it.

Some people took the opportunity to speak ill of Confucius behind his back, saying that Confucius was a spy. When he was in the Lu State, he advocated the fall of the three capitals, and later attracted the army of the Qi State to the border and almost wiped out the Lu State.

And also! When Confucius was defending the country, he had a private meeting with Nanzi and framed the crown prince. At last! The crown prince was driven away by Duke Wei. The current Weiguo is completely presided over by Nanzi, and the new monarch is a puppet king.

The war in Chen may have been provoked by Confucius. Wu Guo's war against Chen is only the cause, and the profit of the fishermen of Chu State may be the goal. So! In any case, Confucius cannot be easily let go.

On Cai's side, there were also people who spoke ill of Confucius. said that Cai Guo did not reuse him, he would definitely hold a grudge. Once Chen Guo is destroyed, Cai Guo will not be protected.

Both Chen and Cai were destroyed by Chu before, but they were later restored under pressure from the outside world. The current Chen State and Cai State are both vassal states of the Chu State. So! Wu Guo is going to fight Chen, and Chu Guo is coming to help.

The relationship between Cai Guo and Chen Guo seems to be a pair of difficult brothers. So! If Chen Guo treated Confucius like this, Cai Guo would follow suit.

Cai's reason for robbing Confucius was to prevent all Chen "refugees" from entering Cai.

Why?

That's a long story! Chen is the hometown of Lao Tzu, and in his later years, Lao Tzu lived in seclusion in Chen to preach and educate the people. Outcome! The people of Chen Guo are very "selfish" today. When the war comes, they will not help the king to fight.

Ordinary kings don't care about the lives of their people, so why should your people care about the life and death of your king and your country when a national disaster comes? Opposite! Don't dare not help, but also gloat.

If it is not my kingdom, why should I care? It is my country, why do you care about our life and death in ordinary times?

With this mentality, when the war came, most of the people of Chen Guo ran to neighboring countries. Cai Guo not only did not accept "refugees", but also agreed to Chen Guo's request to prevent everyone from entering the country.

Of course! Just do the surface work, do the show. Chen Guoren who secretly went over, they won't care. Opposite! I also hope that when the war is raging, Chen Guoren "immigrate" to their Cai country.

To know! In that era when science and technology were underdeveloped, population was productive forces, and a large population would be a strong comprehensive national strength.

The goal of Confucius and his entourage is too big, so! Cai Guo just took this opportunity to pretend not to know who it was, so he blocked you first.

Confucius and his apprentices did not understand Chen and Cai's intentions in sending troops at first, and in order to avoid the attack of the soldiers, they had to march in the wilderness, but unexpectedly fell into a situation of starvation.

Fang Jishi has been following behind Confucius and his party, and he has no way to deal with the war that occurred in Chen State. In the face of war, the role of a person is often small. Furthermore! He didn't want to help Confucius now. He thinks! The experience of Confucius is not enough, it must be honed and honed again.

In particular, people like Confucius have always lived in comfort, in an ideal world, in a small world created by themselves, detached from reality and reality. So! It is more important to accept the ordeal given by reality. That's the only way! Only then can he accept reality, re-examine himself, and face and look at reality with correct thoughts and vision.

So! Even if he could, he wouldn't help.

Furthermore! Neither Chen Guo nor Cai Guo will treat Confucius like this. Today's Confucius, although he is not very good, has a reputation and is a sage. So! Neither Chen Guo nor Cai Guo would treat him like this. What happened to Confucius would only discredit their king's face.

In particular, the king of the state of Chen would not treat Confucius like this. Because! Confucius served as an official in the state of Chen.

Only when it is discovered that Confucius is a spy can he be attacked. Until there is definite evidence, it will not be what he will do.

Besieging Confucius was not without purpose. But! They are waiting for proof.

Confucius's teachers and students were starved of food, not only did Confucius himself not expect, but also made Fang Jishi feel surprised. He didn't expect that Confucius and his entourage didn't bring much food at all. If you are an experienced person, you will definitely bring spare food in case of emergency.

Predictable, huh? Isn't it? In this era of war and chaos, you can't buy food even if you have money. The occurrence of a food starvation is also conceivable and predictable. You are not prepared, you deserve to starve.

Confucius and his entourage left the state of Chen, and they did not consider that the state of Chen would send soldiers to surround him. It is precisely because of the lack of psychological preparation that there is not much food prepared. If he knew that Chen Guo surrounded him, and Cai Guo didn't let him cross the border, then wouldn't he go directly to Chu State? Isn't it?

They can go to the state of Chu first, then take a detour to the state of Jin, and pass through the state of Jin to defend the country. You can also go through the state of Chu to the state of Song, and then go to the state of Wei. Isn't it?

Fortunately, Zilu used to be a hunter, and he had a strong ability to survive in the wild, so he barely survived.

To solve the problem of Confucius being trapped, there is no way to solve the problem. If he comes forward, it will be a bloody storm. As for these soldiers and horses of Chen Guo or Cai Guo, he can kill a few back and forth among them.

But this matter is not a matter of killing. There is a reason for everything, and this incident is because the State of Chu wants to invite Confucius to be an official and give him a fief, which causes some people in the State of Chen to misunderstand. So! If this problem is to be solved, it must also be brought forward by the state of Chu.

Fang Jishi had a hatred with Chu in his early years, even if the people of Chu didn't know him and didn't know the hatred back then, they wouldn't give face to a stranger. So! came forward to find Chu State to mediate, he was not the right person.

So! Only Confucius himself figured out how to do this.

Confucius saw that the soldiers of Chen and Cai surrounded him, and it was naturally useless to find Chen and Cai. So! sent Zigong to the state of Chu to help. Fortunately, Zigong was able to speak well and invited the rescuers of the Chu State to get out of trouble.
