"What the old fox did in Gu Chunqiu, how can you let you guess it, otherwise you will be blind to that fox face. Old man Gu's voice came from inside the carriage.

"Do you know Gu Chunqiu?" Li Chenfeng asked rhetorically, Fan Weisheng also thought the same thing in his heart.

"I don't know!" said Old Man Gu.

"Looking at what you said, I thought you and he were old friends who wanted to make friends for many years. Li Chenfeng said.

"I don't know him, but people of this age, who don't know everything about him, except for the ignorant children who are just starting out, there will be people who don't know his story. Old man Gu said.

"What kind of ability did you do to have such a noble status?" asked Li Chenfeng.

"People in the rivers and lakes don't talk about officialdom, and officialdom doesn't care about the rivers and lakes, as the saying goes, it's just a story. ”

After the old man Gu finished speaking, he didn't want to talk about the twists and turns, and he didn't want to tell the twists and turns.

Li Chenfeng had no choice but to look at Fan Weisheng beside him, hoping for an answer.

Fan Weisheng was furious, moved his buttocks, smoothed the hem of his clothes under the seat, sat down again, and cleared his throat.

"About the matter of Gu Chunqiu, in fact, it is not a secret thing, but after a long time, as I get older, I know less and less, not to mention that the people in the rivers and lakes are not involved in the court, and there are few people who know about it. Fan Weisheng said.

"Then how did this fox-eyed old man become famous?" Li Chen said.

Fame is not an overnight thing, as early as the war period, the fame of the lonely spring and autumn has been ready to move, smart people are like fish in water in troubled times, plus the already smart thinker, naturally more able to mix a bite of food.

Gu Chunqiu, who was in the prime of life, was recruited by the ancestor of the Chu family, and even promised him incomparable rights, even more majestic than the veterans around him, of course, for sitting on such a high head, naturally some people are not convinced, and there are not a few.

It happened that the Chu army was going to attack Yongzhou at that time, and Chu Lian, who was young at the time, was the leader of the siege of the city, and it took five days without advancing a single inch. And the losses are heavy, which soldiers who defend the city, all burn oil for defense, and even the city wall is covered with boulders, whether it is a ladder or a door, there is nothing to be done.

The first emperor was in a hurry, and he delayed it for a while, not to mention that the other princes had already eaten other territories, and he couldn't take Yongzhou with this loss of troops, and when the other princes reacted, not only did they not eat the bones, but they broke their teeth.

So the emperor passed down an order, if anyone breaks the city gate and takes Yongzhou, this territory will be whomever it will be in the future.

Having said that, who dares to come forward, not to mention a hard bone, it is extremely difficult to gnaw, the most important thing is to snatch food from Chu Lian's hands, many generals know that Chu Lian is the boss of the Chu family, who dares to smash his face, and dominate the world in the future, as the boss Chu Lian, he is the first choice of the prince, who is willing to smash his future and change his grudge.

But everything was expected, and the tent, which should have been silent, made the next sound a little incomprehensible. Gu Chunqiu, who couldn't hold back his heels, took the initiative to stand up and ask to fight.

In the eyes of others, he is sneering and gloating, and the newcomer who is already booing is not thinking about how to be honest, but stretches out his hands and feet, and wants to grasp what does not belong to him.

Chu Lian came here since he beat this fox-eyed man, and he was tired of this person in his heart, not to mention the inexplicable official authority, and even the pair of fox-eyes made him hate it to the extreme. I thought that the well water would not interfere with the river water, but I didn't expect that this hand was stretched out to my hand.

Chu Lian took this city, not to get this city, who has not yet had a little bit of flowers, for the Chu army, which is thriving at the moment, to unify the world in the future, there is no longer a problem, this small city in Yongzhou is his best chance to prove himself.

Old Ancestor Chu, seeing that Gu Chunqiu took the initiative to ask for battle, naturally he would not stop him, but what happened next made him a little embarrassed. is a lonely spring and autumn who is a military advisor, where is there anyone available. I had to ask everyone in the audience who would be willing to receive troops from him, or who would be willing to obey orders.

Everyone who wanted to climb the high branches, how dare they take troops or listen to orders, not to mention whether the city is broken or not, it is not good to be a person if they succeed or fail, they offend Chu Lian, and it will be difficult to see each other in the future.

I thought that when no one answered, it was really an unpredictable response to the world, and the five brothers of the Chu family, who should have kept their mouths shut, stood up two people, one Chu Quan, the third elder of the Chu family, and the fourth Chu Ran, and the fourth elder of the Chu family. Even Chu Lian never thought that his brother was also wishful thinking, but who could see through people's hearts.

The generals looked at the lonely spring and autumn that stirred up this troubled water, and wanted to see how he chosen, for the Chu family brothers who stood up, although Chu Quan did not have much merit, but there were also some large and small contributions, as for Chu Ran, there were too many dazzling eyes, especially the iron hooves under the seat, everywhere he went, he broke through the barriers, and there were many princes who died under the iron hooves.

Gu Chunqiu looked at the two brothers with different momentums, the corners of his mouth chuckled, and he was not in a hurry to choose, but opened his mouth to ask, he had been embarrassed by the question for a long time, and he wanted to ask the two generals, and he hoped to give an answer.

More than the two of them were confused, and even the soldiers present were at a loss, how could such a sentence become a solution, Chu Lian was also full of disdain, he wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.

Gu Chunqiu ignored the gossip around him, and a pair of fox eyes were not shocked, and said: " There is a story, a year of old Tao, practice for several years only to obtain the Tao, the Taoist view of the pool, there are decades of undefeated lotus, spring, summer, autumn and winter is also the same, this thing is the magic weapon of the ascension, soaked in the fairy water pool water all year round can not be dry, until he becomes an immortal can be dehydrated and rise, seeing that the day of ascending to the immortal is imminent, the mountain Taoist temple is on fire, the fire is fierce and difficult to extinguish, can only be watered with the fairy water in the pond to extinguish the water, but the pool water consumed over time is not much, if the fire extinguishing lotus will wither, there is no hope of ascending to immortal, if the two generals are elected, what is the answer？”

After listening to this, the answers in everyone's hearts were also different, and they all looked at the two brothers of the Chu family to see how they answered.

Chu Ran didn't think too much about it, and replied: "If I were that old man, I would use that immortal water to save people and extinguish the infinite fire." ”

"I don't know what General Chu Quan's answer is?" Gu Chunqiu asked.

"I will ignore it and become an immortal!" Chu Quan said.

Seeing that the answers of the two had come out, Gu Chunqiu did not continue to tell the story, so it was enough, so he walked beside Chu Quan and said to Chu Lao Zu: "Chu Shuai, let General Chu Quan go with me!"

The soldiers present didn't understand why Gu Chunqiu gave up Chu Ran, who had achieved fruitful results, and instead chose Chu Quan, who had mediocre achievements, could it be too hasty to rely on the answer to just one story.

Chu Ran didn't care too much, the siege battle was not too simple for him to swing the cavalry, and he was already frank, so naturally he didn't want anything.

Gu Chunqiu did not take away a large number of Chu Quan's men and horses, and only took Chu Quan alone to sneak into the city.

Regarding Gu Chunqiu's request, Chu Quan didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd, since he stood up, he naturally needed to obey his orders, including sneaking into the city, and he couldn't have any scruples.

The two of them in the city were just wandering aimlessly, of course, only for Chu Quan, as for Gu Chunqiu's real purpose, he didn't know.

After traveling through most of the city, Gu Chunqiu, who had no communication, asked surprisingly: "What can you see clearly in the eyes of the general?"

Although Chu Quan traveled all the way, he naturally would not go in vain, for the structure of the city, the soldiers' handles, they all remembered in his mind, and for Gu Chunqiu's questions, he would remember and engrave everything he remembered.

Gu Chunqiu shook his head, obviously not the answer he wanted, Chu Quan is also a quick-thinking person, and he has a detailed look at the road ahead, except for the layout of soldiers and the deployment of urban areas, the only thing left is the poor people he saw, and the innocent people who have been devastated by the war.

Chu Quan also said his thoughts, and this time Gu Chunqiu did not shake his head again, nodding yes.

"That's the purpose of our trip!" said Gu Chunqiu.

Chu Quan was confused at first, and then had an epiphany.

"Mr. is trying to take advantage of the people's hearts and cooperate with the outside world?"

"The people don't need war, they don't need hegemony, for them, what they want is nothing more than peace and stability, as well as food and clothing, for the looting in the city at the moment, you say there will be a grievance in your heart, if we promise food and food peace, what do you say the ending!"

"Defection!"
